Chapter 329: Five generals, four ways to send troops
drove a night with Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, and accompanied them for another day.
Zhang Ming then went to accompany Diao Chan.
Diao Chan's driving skills are also very good, Wang Yun made a lot of money in order to make her a spy, and asked the old palace maid of the palace to teach her a lot of driving skills.
A lot of driving skills Zhang Ming has only seen in the AV of the island country.
Driving with Diao Chan again, this time Zhang Ming had to take a strong pill, otherwise he wouldn't be able to stand it.
Then, after Tian Feng and Xi Zhicai were ready, Zhang Ming asked Tian Feng to temporarily take over the defense of Beiping City, while he left secretly.
At this time, Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses had already openly pounced on Youzhou.
"Yuan Shao, you really look down on me, the four-way army, 130,000 people."
Not long after leaving the city, Zhang Ming received the latest information.
This time, in order to coerce Zhang Ming, Yuan Shao actually sent five generals and 130,000 people.
The generals are Chun Yuqiong, Gao Lan, Zhang He, Zhu Ling, and Ju Yi.
In addition, Yuan Shao also ordered Yan Liang and Wen Chou to lead an army of 50,000 to stand by, and if necessary, the 50,000 army would also rush over.
There are many generals in the army, and they come to kill Zhang Ming together.
The army divided into four routes and came to Youzhou.
At this time, Xu You was also preparing to come to Youzhou.
Yuan Shao's strategy was to start a war first, and only after the war did he let Xu You come to the door and threaten him to cancel the imperial examination.
Zhang Ming came quickly and joined up with Xi Zhicai.
At this time, Zhang Ming's generals also gathered.
Guan Zhang, Zhao Xu Huang and Xu Rong were all there, while Yan Rou was still dealing with affairs between Goryeo and Fuso.
"Zhicai, what's the situation with the enemy now?"
In the military tent, a map has been placed, and all the generals are there.
Xi Zhicai said: "Lord, the enemy divided his troops two days ago, divided into four routes, and wanted to attack several places on our own. ”
Xi Zhicai used a colored pen to draw the enemy's marching map.
"When they divide their forces, we will join forces together."
Zhang Ming: Since they received the news in advance, they have a long time to arrange.
At this time, Yuan Shao probably didn't know that Zhang Ming had received the news early.
Xi Zhicai also said: "Lord, my subordinates think the same, as long as some places are defended, we will concentrate our forces and eat one of them." ”
Xi Zhicai pointed to the map and said: "The four-way army, we will concentrate on annihilating one, so that Yuan Shao will feel the pain." ”
This is a tactic commonly used by Taizu in later generations, concentrating forces, forming local superior forces, and annihilating the enemy.
Zhang Ming nodded and said, "Very good, in other directions, let them defend to the death, and we will eat a soldier and horse." ”
"Lord, Chun Yuqiong has the fewest soldiers and horses, let's eat him." Xi Zhicai said.
Zhang Ming shook his head and said, "No, eat Gao Ran and Zhu Ling all the way." ”
Xi Zhicai said: "Lord, but there are the largest number of people along the way, if we eat them, we will lose a lot, and other armies may retreat." ”
"That's right, our battle is not to defeat Yuan Shao comprehensively, but to force Yuan Shao to retreat."
Zhang Ming still wanted to make Yuan Shao feel that he was a secondary threat and let him focus on other places.
Xi Zhicai agreed with Zhang Ming's opinion and began to make a plan again.
"My lord, we have gathered 60,000 troops and launched a surprise attack in these places."
Xi Zhi began to draw, and he used arrows to mark in detail so that everyone could see it.
Zhang Ming's cavalry was only 20,000 people, and it had not been expanded, and this battle was still dominated by infantry.
"Guys, do you understand?" After explaining it again, Xi Zhi said to everyone.
Everyone nodded, understanding Xi Zhicai's arrangement.
"Very good, there are still a few days left, and we will set it up right away."
The drama began to be arranged.
Zhang Ming concentrated some of the troops on the front line, and many cities were defended by only a few thousand people.
Zhang Ming and the others set off, and the place of ambush this time was in Jizhou.
Zhang Ming and the others plan to quietly enter Jizhou, which is a wilderness, so that the special forces can clean up the other party's scouts at the right time.
Yuan Shao's army swept towards Youzhou.
In the rear, Yuan Shao asked Yan Liang and Wen Chou to prepare, once he found that Youzhou was vulnerable, Yuan Shao would mobilize more troops and swallow Zhang Ming in one bite.
"The interests of the family cannot be violated."
Yuan Shao was very angry, and he didn't know how many times he had to scold Zhang Ming a day.
In the past, Zhang Ming was not so angry when he humiliated Yuan Shao, but now that Zhang Ming did this, it made him unbearable.
Yuan Shao now has dozens of troops, hundreds of generals, and strong soldiers.
And Zhang Ming only has an army of 100,000 on the surface now, how can he compare with him.
It's just that Yuan Shao has a lot of places to defend, and he can't use too many troops at one time, but he can still use 200,000 troops for Yuan Shao.
The four armies, separated a few days ago, each swooped down on its own purpose.
This time, the four-way army, each of which has little contact.
They are all proud people, and they all want to do miraculous deeds.
Gao Ran and Zhu Ling are going to attack Daijun all the way, enter from Daijun, make a quick assault all the way, completely abandon the rear, if they can hit Beiping City, then Yuan Shao's army will all be pressed up.
The four ways to send troops were to be able to disperse Zhang Ming's troops.
Everything is being prepared.
Zhang Ming was ready.
At the junction of Youzhou and Jizhou, Zhang Ming's army hid in the mountains, and there were scouts roaming around, keeping the enemy's scouts thirty miles away.
Scouts on both sides fight each other and are perennial, so it's not surprising.
The scouts couldn't get in, and Zhang Ming and the others pretended to be unable to get through, but in fact, there had been a special forces squad paying attention to the enemy's whereabouts.
Gao Ran and Zhu Ling marched quickly with the army.
Gao Ran and Zhu Ling are famous generals, who govern the army very strictly and march very fast.
A few days later, they were far apart from the other three armies, each attacking their own target.
In two days, they will arrive.
In the evening, Zhang Ming called Zhao Yun.
"Get rid of the scouts and we're going to get moving."
Zhao Yun took the order and left, and Zhang Ming gathered the army.
Zhao Yun acted quickly, and in the second half of the night, he had already cleared the other party's scouts.
"Let's go."
Only acted at this time, Zhang Ming just couldn't leave too much time for Gao Ran and them to react.
The army soon reached the wilderness of the border and hid.
The pressure of the scouts was huge, and Zhang Ming sent out a thousand special forces to make sure that all the enemy scouts were killed.
Gao Ran and Zhu Ling didn't notice anything wrong.
They thought that the incident happened suddenly and acted quickly, and Zhang Ming waited until they found out, and it was too late to arrange.
Therefore, they didn't think that there was an ambush, what they thought was that the soldiers were fast and couldn't give Zhang Ming time to react.
The two led the army all the way forward.
A new day came, and early in the morning, Gao Ran ordered the army to march.
Despite the need for speed, Gao Lan was also careful on the road, and the army was divided into three sections.
Zhu Ling led 10,000 forwards in front, and he followed.
