Chapter 15: Zhang Xutuo, the lieutenant of Lujiang County
After Zhang Xutuo finished worshipping Yuan Yao, his voice changed, and then he said: "Please also ask the lord to allow me to return to the camp temporarily, and then lead the army to surrender when I gather troops and horses." ”
Yuan Yao nodded and said, "I have already sent someone to Jiangdong to return the jade seal of the heirloom country, and now that our strength is insufficient, we should still make friends with the Sun family!" Continuing to garrison a large army here will give some people an excuse to attack us, which will be detrimental to the Sun family. In order to show our sincerity, I decided to evacuate the Linhu garrison, and after the general returned to the camp, he packed his bags, and led the army back to Shu County with me early tomorrow morning. ”
Zhang Xutuo bowed down and responded: "No, the last general will receive the order, and then return to the camp to prepare." ”
After Zhang Xutuo returned to the camp, he ordered the sergeant to pack up, and the next morning the whole army pulled out the camp and followed Yuan Yao back to Shu County.
After Yuan Yao returned to Shu County, he ordered Li Siye to select 300 tall and strong men from the army, and then disorganized the soldiers and horses brought by Shouchun, the soldiers and horses under Zhang Xutuo, and the elite soldiers selected from the soldiers of Lujiang County, and obtained a total of 17,500 soldiers and horses, including 14,000 infantry and 3,500 cavalry.
After Yuan Yao completed the reorganization of troops and horses, Yuan Zhi and Yuan Xin finally sent back the good news, Yuan Zhi had captured Lu'an counties and stationed in Lu'an County, Yuan Xin also successfully captured Anhui County and Juchao County and led the soldiers and horses into Anhui County, Yuan Xin also sent back the five hundred iron cavalry that Yuan Yao had allocated to him before when he sent back the news.
After clearing the remnants of Liu Xun and taking the counties, Yuan Yao officially seized Lujiang County, and Yuan Yao's territory added another county, with a total of two counties, Lujiang County and Jiujiang County.
After the good news of Yuan Zhi and the two arrived, Yuan Yao was suddenly overjoyed, now that Lujiang County has been lowered, it is time for him to return to Shouchun, Shouchun City is related to his own life, if Shouchun City is lost, he will be wiped out by the system!
Yuan Yao ordered the sergeant to summon all the generals to come to discuss the matter, and said: "Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, and the strong enemies around our department are around, if it is too sharp, it will definitely cause the heroes to be afraid or even attack in groups." Now that Lujiang County has fallen, and the autumn harvest is approaching, our department should also rest for a while. If I continue to stay in Shu County, the surrounding princes will definitely think that I have the heart to continue to use troops, but fortunately, everything is over, and now I should lead the army back to Shouchun. ”
"Everyone knows that Jiujiang County has been trapped to death by the heroes, and we can only have a chance to rise if we control Lujiang County, in my opinion, although Jiujiang County is rich and luxurious, its importance is far less than that of Lujiang County! Lujiang County is related to our overall situation, so we must leave loyal and prudent people to guard it. ”
Li Siye and Zhang Xutuo listened to Yuan Yao's words, and they all nodded again and again.
Jiujiang County was surrounded by the forces of Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Sun Ce:
Needless to say, Cao Cao has several states under his rule, and his soldiers are full of food and food, and he is a big man among the big guys, and he can't afford to provoke him;
According to the news that Lu Mian came back, Liu Bei had attacked Picheng under the rule of Xuzhou Prefecture, most of the counties of Xuzhou had surrendered, and Guan and Zhang were about to capture the remaining counties.
As for Jiangdong Sun Ce, although he has the least territory under his rule among the three parties, Sun Ce himself is known as a little overlord, and his command is even more heroic, with tens of thousands of elite soldiers, invincible, invincible, and now heroic is not something Yuan Yao can provoke, and he can't afford to provoke either.
Jiujiang County is surrounded by the three forces, there is no room for rise and development at all, now that Lujiang County is in hand, Yuan Yao has a direction for development, Lujiang County is very important, naturally it has to leave heavy generals to guard, at this point, Li Siye and other generals have reached a consensus with Yuan Yao in their hearts.
Yuan Yao swept the generals around, and now there are only Li Siye and Zhang Xutuo who can be alone in the town under his command, Li Siye doesn't have to think about it, the equipment of the Mo sword soldiers is still in Shouchun, Li Siye has to return to Shouchun to train the army, and now Zhang Xutuo is the only one who can be used.
Fortunately, Zhang Xutuo was a general in Lujiang County before, and he had a deep prestige in the Lujiang army, and the matter of his previous fight with Li Siye had also spread, and the soldiers of the original Shouchun soldiers and horses were also very respectful to him, plus Zhang Xutuo also made great achievements in leading the troops to surrender, so that Zhang Xutuo could leave others speechless in Lujiang County.
"Zhang Xutuo, listen to the order!"
Zhang Xutuo originally thought that Yuan Yao would leave Li Siye to guard Lujiang County and bring him back to Shouchun, but now when he heard Yuan Yao let him out of the ranks, Zhang Xutuo couldn't help but be stunned before he reacted, and quickly got up and came to the center of the hall and bowed down and said, "The last general is here." ”
Yuan Yao guessed what Zhang Xutuo was thinking when he saw his reaction.
Sample, shocked!
Emperor Yang of Sui is just like you in general, and you serve Yang Guang like that, which can be described as exhausting!
Brother values you so much now, why do you have to work harder for your brother, right?
Yuan Yao knew what kind of person Zhang Xutuo was, and naturally trusted him very much, and was not worried that Zhang Xutuo would betray him at all, nodded and smiled at Zhang Xutuo, and said: "The general is brave and good at fighting, proficient in military strategy, and is very familiar with the situation in the land of Lujiang, I intend to let the general lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to guard Lujiang County, I don't know if the general dares to take on this responsibility?" ”
Zhang Xutuo already knew Yuan Yao's military deployment in Lujiang County at this time, and secretly said in his heart: There are 4,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Lu'an County, and 4,000 soldiers and horses are also stationed in Anhui County, and if you leave him 10,000 soldiers and horses, there will be nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses in Lujiang County, and these soldiers and horses are enough to defend Lujiang.
After thinking about it, Zhang Xutuo replied loudly: "Thanks to the trust of the lord, the last general is willing to take on this responsibility!"
"Good! The general will appoint you as the lieutenant of Lujiang County, in charge of the military and political affairs of Lujiang County, and the general will leave you another 9,000 foot soldiers and 1,000 iron cavalry, hoping that you can defend the land of Lujiang County for me! ”
"No! The last general received the order, and he will live up to the trust of the lord, and swear to die to guard the land of Lujiang County for the lord! ”
Yuan Yao pondered for a moment, and then said: "Jiangdong Sun Ce is strong, and he can't be provoked for the time being, if we want to continue to expand our power, there are only two ways to go south to Yuzhang and east to Jiangxia. The general is sitting in Lujiang County, in addition to guarding the city, he must also inquire more about the situation in these two places, so as to lay a good foundation for the next use of troops by our subordinates. This matter should be done in secret, and no rumors should be leaked. ”
"No, the last general understands."
。。。。。。
Three days later, Yuan Yao led 5,000 foot soldiers and 3,000 iron cavalry back to Hefei City, Zhang Xun and Yuan Li had already selected the best from among the soldiers in accordance with Yuan Yao's order, and all the original soldiers and horses were scattered and reorganized, and a total of 10,000 soldiers and horses were reorganized.
Yuan Yao's army rested in Hefei for one night, Yuan Yao left 5,000 soldiers and horses for Yuan Yi, so that he and the original Hefei guard Yuan Fei led the army to defend Hefei, and then left Hefei with Zhang Xun and 5,000 soldiers and horses and set off for Shouchun again.
Yuan Yao led 10,000 foot soldiers and 3,000 iron cavalry troops to march for two days, and then finally returned to Shouchun, Yuan Ren, Yuan Yi and Huang Yi led the officials in the city out of the city twenty miles to meet Yuan Yao's army.
When everyone saw Yuan Yao's army coming, they hurriedly bowed to the ground and shouted: "I'm waiting to see the lord, the lord is wise and powerful, I'm waiting to obey!" ”
"Hahahaha, all the gentlemen, please get up, there are all the gentlemen guarding Shouchun for me, I can use troops in front with peace of mind, this time I can defeat Liu Xun and subdue Lujiang County, all the gentlemen have merit."
"I've waited to thank my lord!"
"Come with me into the city!"
Yuan Yao gave an order, and everyone hurriedly got up and got out of the way to follow Yuan Yao's horse, and the army set off again and headed straight for Shouchun City.
Yuan Yao ordered Li Siye to lead a large army to camp outside the city, and he led everyone back to Shouchun.
When Yuan Yao left Shouchun before, it was the time when the Yuan clan was in the most decline!
Yuan Shu had just died, Yuan Yaochu was in power, and the surrounding princes were eyeing Shouchun, not knowing when they would come to the city, and Shouchun would be in danger of breaking the city at any time.
Yuan Yao led the army out of the city, and the people in the city thought that Yuan Yao was in embarrassment and fled to Jiangdong for refuge, and the people in the city were extremely contemptuous and resentful of Yuan Yao!
But this time Yuan Yao returned to the city to lead the army to return triumphantly!
The people in the city already knew that Yuan Yao defeated the weak and killed Liu Xun to subdue Lujiang County, Yuan Yao's edge this time was first revealed, as if Shouchun City had become much safer, and the people in the city no longer had to worry about the city being destroyed at any time.
In the troubled times, whether it is the people or the soldiers, they are more willing to follow the strong!
Because only the strong can lead them to victory, only the strong can lead them to defend their homes and benefit Sangzi, and only the strong can lead them to make meritorious contributions and glorious lintels!
Yuan Yao, who defeated the strong with the weak, killed the traitors, and recovered the territory, is now such a strong man!
After the people in the city learned the news of Yuan Yao's triumph of leading the army today, they were already waiting by the street at the city gate early, and when they saw Yuan Yao enter the city, the people shouted: "General Wansheng!" General Wan Sheng! General Wan Sheng! ”
Yuan Yao saw that the people were so enthusiastic, and said loudly: "With the love of all Sangzi, I, Yuan Yao, will definitely lead the soldiers to protect the homeland and benefit Sangzi!! ”
The people immediately erupted in even more enthusiastic cheers, "General Wansheng!" General Wan Sheng! General Wan Sheng! ”
