Chapter 7: Plotting Lujiang
"The matter of Xuzhou will bother my uncle and Captain Zhao."
Yuan Yao comforted Lu Mian and Zhao Hong a few words, looked at Li Hu and Wang Bao, and said: "Captain Li and Captain Wang gathered the rout army and escorted my father's coffin back to Shouchun, and they were also rewarded with ten gold and one hundred silk horses. ”
Li Hu and Wang Bao bowed down and responded: "I have thanked the lord for the generous reward!" ”
"The soldiers and horses under the command of the two of you are not fully staffed, but now the situation is critical and it is not the time to expand the soldiers and horses, so the two of you will lead the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to garrison Shouchun first, and wait until the future to replenish the soldiers and horses for the two of you."
"No, we will receive the order, but the lord's order will be obeyed!"
"Stand down first, there will always be a chance for you to make meritorious contributions."
Yuan Yao waved his hand to make the two of them retreat, looked at the fifth lieutenant of the Yuan family, and said: "You are also meritorious in guarding Shouchun, each of you will be rewarded with ten gold, continue to garrison Shouchun, and train the soldiers and horses, and after a while, Japan will move troops, I hope you will not let me down." ”
Yuan Ren and the five of them stood up and bowed: "I have thanked the lord for the generous reward, and I will definitely train the soldiers and horses well, and make contributions to the lord!" ”
Yuan Yao has just taken over Yuan Shu's stall, and now it is the time to establish Enwei, he first let Li Siye show his magic powers to deter everyone, and now it is another reward and grace, and under the combination of Enwei and Envy, everyone also visited Yuan Yao, the lord, this Shouchun City Yuan Yao is finally considered to be stable, at least there will not be another thing of being forced to force the palace to force the lord or surrender the city.
After arranging everyone, Yuan Yao had the mind to carefully look at today's great hero-Divine General Li Siye!
Li Siye had just changed his clothes, and he was no longer full of blood just now, he was dressed in a black samurai robe, his posture was majestic, and his body was full of courage and iron, and his heroic spirit was compelling, making people dare not look at him directly.
"Heiye, you bravely killed the enemy to boost the morale of my army, and you are also outstanding in meritorious service, and you will be rewarded with ten gold and 100 horses of silk, I hope you will continue to work hard and don't let me down."
Li Siye bowed down and said, "No, thank you for the generous reward of the lord, and in the end, I will receive the great grace of the lord and die for the lord!" ”
Yuan Yao picked up Li Siye, thought for a moment, and then made the final arrangement for him, and said: "Now that the situation is critical, I intend to let you be appointed to the General's Mansion to assist me in military affairs, do you dare to take on this important responsibility?" ”
Although Li Siye is brave and good at fighting, after all, he has just joined the army, and he has not made much credit, and Yuan Yao is not good for him to directly occupy a high position, let him first become a general's mansion to assist him in handling military affairs, which can be regarded as a humble power.
Li Siye was very confident in his ability, and he didn't value this false name, so he bowed down and responded: "No, the last general will take the order, and he will live up to the trust of the lord!" ”
Yuan Yao laughed, patted Li Siye's shoulder, and said, "Hahahaha, with the help of Heiye, why worry about it!" In these days, I may face a big war, and now it is a little too late to organize the army, so you will think about how to improve the combat power of our army in the past few days, and then reorganize the army to improve the combat power after this battle. ”
"No, the last general will take the order!"
While everyone was deliberating, Yuan Yin finally rushed over after handing out red envelopes to the soldiers, Yuan Yao waved his hand to sit down, and said: "Uncle came just in time, I was about to discuss with everyone about my uncle's trip to Jiangdong and Lujiang Liu Xun and Xu Xuan's department. ”
Yuan Yin heard Yuan Yao's words and bowed to Yuan Yao to find a place to sit down, Yuan Yao continued: "Lujiang Liu Xun is self-respecting and ambitious, and has long had the intention of separating the place, and Xu Miao has long had the intention of surrendering to Cao Cao when he was entangled in the soldiers and horses. ”
"Lujiang Liu Xun naturally doesn't need to say much, my Shouchun can only expand his power by destroying it, and there is already water and fire between us and the two, even if he doesn't use troops against my Shouchun, I will definitely exterminate it! As for Xu Xuan, this person has become Cao Cao's pawn buried in my Jiujiang County, only by eradicating it can Cao Cao's snooping on my Shouchun be temporarily cut off, and only by eradicating the two of them, can my Shouchun temporarily settle down and have room to expand my strength. I plan to use my uncle's trip to Jiangdong to get rid of the two of them in one fell swoop, I don't know what my uncle and you think? ”
Yang Hong, as the only strategist among the people present, although his ability is not as good as that of a first-class strategist, but the most basic vision is still there, he can naturally see the harm of Liu Xun and others to Jiujiang County, and when he heard that Yuan Yao wanted to eradicate them, he said: "What the lord said is very true, Lujiang Liu Xun and Xu Xuan's subordinates are eyeing my Shouchun, if they can have the opportunity to eradicate them, not only can they solve the internal worries of my Jiujiang County, but also take this opportunity to bring Lujiang County back under his rule and expand the power of the lord." However, Liu Xun and Xu Xuan's department is strong, I don't know if the lord has any good strategy to eradicate the two of them? ”
"Come with me, everybody."
Yuan Yao got up and walked to the side of the map, drew a route, and said: "Liu Xun and Xu Xuan's subordinates are eyeing me and the Chuanguo Jade Seal, if there is news that I will take the Chuanguo Jade Seal to Jiangdong Sun Ce, then Liu Xun and Xu Xuan's subordinates will definitely send troops to intercept it." ”
"If we want to go to Jiangdong, we must take the Chengde-Hefei line, the two cities of Chengde and Hefei are still in the hands of our army, and the cities of Chengde and Hefei are strong, if we defend the city, they will also be difficult to break, so if they want to send troops to intercept, they will definitely be arranged on the road section after our department passes through Hefei. In addition, our department can also go to Jiangdong first to spread the news, expressing their willingness to present the jade seal of the country, so that they can lead troops to meet in the Niuzhu area, so that they can not only win the trust of Liu Xun and others, but also lock their eyes on the distance from Hefei to Niuzhu. ”
"There is a dangerous road on the way from Hefei to Niuzhu, that is Chaoshan Valley, this valley is Chaoshan on one side, Chaohu Lake on the other side, the terrain is dangerous by the mountains and rivers, it is located in Hefei to Niuzhu must pass through the place, we must go to Jiangdong through this place."
"Lujiang Liu Xun's troops are in the area of Anhui County, and Xu Xuan's troops are in the area of the junction of Jiujiang and Guangling, this valley is the best choice for them to intercept our department, both in terms of time and distance. If there is news that we will carry the jade seal of the country from this road to Jiangdong, they will definitely send troops to intercept it here! I just plan to set up an ambush in Chaoshan to eradicate the power of the two of them in one fell swoop, I don't know what you think? ”
Zhang Xun pondered for a moment and said: "Chaoshan Valley is indeed an excellent place to use troops, I don't know how many soldiers and horses the lord plans to lead to go?" ”
Yuan Yao had already made up his mind and said, "In addition to the 2,000 soldiers and horses that General Lu wants to bring to Yinling, there are 10,000 soldiers and horses that can be used in the city, including 10,000 infantry, 3,000 iron cavalry, and 1,000 guards before me. Shouchun is the foundation of our place, and it is necessary to leave enough soldiers and horses to garrison, but Shouchun City is strong and does not need to leave too many soldiers and horses, and 4,000 soldiers and horses are enough to garrison. As a result, the only soldiers and horses available in the city were 6,000 infantry, 3,000 iron cavalry, and 1,000 guards. ”
"I plan to personally lead three thousand iron cavalry and one thousand personal guards to carry the jade seal of the country and the gifts to be sent to Jiangdong to slowly move forward to attract the attention of Liu Xun and others, and the general will lead the remaining six thousand soldiers and horses to sneak to Chaoshan for ambush, and when Liu Xun and others' soldiers and horses intercept our troops, the general will lead the soldiers and horses to kill the soldiers and horses of our troops and horses to exterminate Liu Xun and others in one fell swoop, I don't know what my uncle wants?"
Zhang Xun pondered for a moment and said: "It's too risky for the lord to personally lead the army as bait, why don't you lead the soldiers and horses to Chaoshan for an ambush first, and I lead a group of soldiers and horses as bait?" ”
Yuan Yao saw that Zhang Xun was thinking about himself like this, and his heart also showed some warmth, but this matter was important and must be ensured, and Yuan Yao did not dare to be negligent in the slightest.
Yuan Yao laughed a few times and replied: "Hahahaha, my uncle is really worried, I have an heir and a large army to protect me, how can Liu Xun and others hurt me?" Moreover, I am my father's son, and if I don't show up, I'm afraid it will be difficult to dispel the doubts of Liu Xun and others. Only if I show up in person, Liu Xun and the others will completely believe that I will lead my troops to Jiangdong to join Sun Ce, and only then will they send troops and horses and even personally lead the army to intercept them! Uncle rest assured that our army is unexpected, and there are tiger generals like heirs in this battle, and there is no doubt that we will win! Uncle don't worry about me, just lead the army to Chaoshan to ambush. ”
Zhang Xun thought about Li Siye's bravery, with him as a guard, Yuan Yao's safety is indeed very guaranteed, plus what Yuan Yao said is also very reasonable, only Yuan Yao personally appeared to dispel the suspicions of Liu Xun and others, and let them obediently lead the army to intercept them.
Zhang Xun could only respond: "Since this is the case, then the last general will receive the order, and please be careful." General Li, the safety of the lord is in your hands, you must not slack off, and remember not to let the lord encounter danger! ”
Li Siye bowed to Zhang Xun and replied: "The general can rest assured that even if the last general dies, he will not let the lord be in danger." ”
"Well, then the matter is settled!"
Yuan Yao glanced at everyone, and then said: "General Lu, I don't know what the situation in Xuzhou is yet, you will lead the army to Yinling tomorrow, if you have the opportunity, you will definitely investigate the situation in Xuzhou and report to me." ”
"No, the last general will take the order!"
"Yuan Ren, Yuan Yi!"
"The end will be here."
"After my army set off, the two of you will lead the army to defend the city, if there is an enemy army coming, you can close the city without fighting, Shouchun is the foundation of our place, do not lose!"
"No, the last general received the order, and the lord guarded the city, the city is in the people, and the city is lost and killed!"
Yuan Yao finished arranging the defense of the city, looked at Zhang Xun and said: "General Zhang, the time is urgent, you prepare later, tonight you will lead the army out of the city to secretly sneak to the Chaoshan area for ambush, and when our army arrives to engage the enemy, after the three horn arrows are lifted into the air, you will lead the troops to kill!" ”
"No, the last general will take orders, and he will live up to the trust of the lord!"
All that remains is to find a way to attract the attention of Liu Xun and the others, Yuan Yao thought for a moment, looked at Yuan Yin and said: "Uncle, you will send someone to Jiangdong later to release the news that I am going to present the jade seal of the country, and let Sun Ce send troops to meet in the area of Niuzhu, and then prepare gifts with great fanfare to make enough noise, so that Liu Xun and others will get the news." ”
"No, Your Majesty will receive the order."
"Uncle, you can load the grain and grass into the car as a soft money, so that you can not only attract the attention of Liu Xun and others, but also bring enough grain and grass to my army to attack Lujiang, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone."
"The lord is wise, and his subordinates admire!"
Yuan Yao thought for a while, and there was nothing to add, and said: "Okay, let's go down and prepare, two days later, I will personally lead the army to Jiangdong!" ”
Everyone bowed and said, "No, we will receive the order!" ”
