Chapter 148: Zhang Yi said Liu Yan
After Zhang Yi got the order, he didn't dare to delay for a moment, and directly galloped in the direction of Yizhou under the escort of elite soldiers.
The distance between Yizhou and Yangzhou is about the same as the distance between Jiaozhou and Liangzhou, but the problem is that the travel speed of Zhang Yi and others is two and a half hours of fast horses.
What is this concept? It's equivalent to driving for 5 hours at a speed of 20 miles a day. That is, the concept of 100 kilometers a day.
Therefore, Zhang Yi and others arrived in Yizhou in mid-September. Zhang Yi calculated, and after he persuaded Liu Yan to return to Yangzhou to resume his life, it was estimated that Shi Dakai and they were still eating soil on the way.
Zhang Yi handed Liu Yan a greeting sticker and was received by Liu Yan.
Liu Yan said: "The Venerable Envoy came from afar, what do you have to say?" ”
Zhang Yi said: "I came to save Yizhou." ”
Liu Yan was furious and said: "What nonsense! My Yizhou soldiers are full of food, and there are many dangers, so why is there a disaster? If you can't give a satisfactory answer, you can get in or you can't get out! ”
Zhang Yi saw Liu Yan furious, and he was not afraid, and said slowly: "The adults don't know that they are in trouble, it's a pity, it's a pity." Zhang Yi pointed out one with the adult, tens of thousands of elite Taiping troops, can the adult stop it? ”
Liu Yan said: "There are tens of thousands of ant thieves, why be afraid? Liu Yan said very righteously, but Zhang Yi saw very viciously that Liu Yan was very lustful.
Zhang Yi said: "Since the adults have already made a bamboo in their chests, it is inconvenient for Zhang Yi to say more, so I will leave." However, I still want to remind you that the Yellow Turban bandits who came this time are all elite, and the number is no less than 50,000. ”
Zhang Yi continued: "These 50,000 people are all murderous mourning soldiers. Moreover, the leaders of these 50,000 people are named Shi Dakai, Feng Wanzhen and Wei Changhui. ”
As soon as Zhang Yi's voice fell, he turned around and was about to go out.
Liu Yan hurriedly said, "Honorable envoy, please stay." ”
Zhang Yi said: "What else do you have for advice?" ”
Liu Yan said: "Your Excellency, it was Liu just now, please take care of the envoy." ”
Zhang Yi said: "Adults are strong and strong, and little ant thieves are not a problem, so what's wrong with adults?" “
Liu Yan said: "I am just tempting Mr., sir, don't be surprised." ”
Liu Yan continued: "My family knows my own affairs. Yes, tens of thousands of Yellow Turban Army ant thieves do have what I Liu Junlang suffered, not to mention a group of bloodthirsty mourning soldiers. ”
Liu Yan said again: "Don't hide it from Mr. I, if it weren't for the scarcity of war horses in my Yizhou land and the fact that the soldiers are not good at fighting formations, I, Liu Junlang, would definitely be loyal to Your Majesty, but this matter of the Yellow Turban thief, please teach me sir." ”
Zhang Yi said: "Yi heard that the Yellow Turban Thief Army set off from Jiaozhou at the end of August, and wanted to pass through Guidi, and then go to Liangzhou to join the Xiliang Thief Army. ”
"The Yellow Turban Thieves set out at the end of August, and it will take forty days to reach your land. With this 40-day time difference, I think adults can arrange a lot of things. “
Liu Yan said: "Mr. doesn't know anything." With the current state of the Yizhou Army, two months of preparation time for Liu is not enough. What's more, the Yellow Turban bandit army passing through my Yizhou will definitely make my Yizhou a miasma. Sir, save me. ”
Zhang Yi sighed for a moment and said, "Have you ever heard that your place is called Moshui one day?" ”
Liu Yan said: "This, the old man really doesn't know." ”
Zhang Yi secretly slandered himself: "This old guy is really a fool, his brain is all over the court battle, and he doesn't know anything about military and geographical surveys, if he can win the battle, it will be a big joke in the world." ”
Zhang Yi held back his contempt, did not show it on his face, and then said slowly: "Next to the foam, there is a place called Anshun Field. Here, the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. “
"Ran'an Shunchang is the only way for the Yellow Turban Thieves to go to Liangzhou. Anshun field, to say the least, can ambush tens of thousands of archers without showing their feet. ”
"I heard that there is Zhang Ren in Sichuan, the second general of Ling Bao, the courage of ten thousand people, and the archery kung fu of a hundred steps through Yang. There are these two generals, and the Anshun field is not far from Jianmen Pass, the terrain is dangerous, I don't know what adults think? “
Liu Yan was a person who didn't know anything about military affairs, so he asked his first general, Zhang Rendao: "General Zhang Ren, do you think the plan of the envoy is feasible?" Is Anshun really as easy to defend and difficult to attack as the envoy said? ”
Zhang Ren listened to the black lines on his face. The lord of his own family directly exposed the shortcomings of not knowing the military affairs so obviously. But Zhang Ren still said honestly:
"Back to the lord, this Anshun field, adjacent to Moshui, is indeed one of the rare natural hazards in my Yizhou. I have four major natural hazards in Yizhou, Jianmen Pass, Mianzhu Pass, Luofengpo, and one is Anshun Field. ”
After listening to this, Liu Yan asked: "Then I don't know how many soldiers and horses the general brings, can he kill this army for me in Anshun Field?" ”
Zhang Rendao: "Back to the lord, the last general only needs 5,000 archers and 20,000 infantry, not to mention the total annihilation, he will be able to inflict heavy losses on this bandit army!" ”
"Hmm... Liu Yan pondered for a moment and said: "Mr. is really a good strategy, and it is also incumbent on Ben to kill the Yellow Turban Thief Army, after all, Ben Jiang is also a member of the Han family." ”
Liu Yan continued: "But this year's drought in Yizhou, almost no harvest, this is one of them; Second, Yizhou is a barren land, business travel is not good, and funds are scarce, so Your Majesty has to take care of my poor relative; Three, there are not many weapons and equipment available in Yizhou. ”
As soon as Zhang Yi heard it, she knew that Liu Yan was ripping off bamboo. Zhang Yi said: "I don't know how much adults need?" ”
Liu Yan said: "As a member of the Han family, I will definitely not embarrass Your Majesty." That's good, you see 100,000 stones of grain and grass, 100,000 taels of gold, 30,000 sets of armor, and 10,000 horses, what does Mr. think? ”
Zhang Yi thought about it, this amount is not too much. 100,000 stone of grain is only a month's ration for an army of 100,000, 100,000 taels of gold is nothing, and 30,000 sets of armor and 10,000 war horses are okay. ”
After thinking about it, Zhang Yi said, "Your Majesty can give you these materials that your majesty wants." But my lord, you will do your best to exterminate the Yellow Turban Thieves in Anshun Field. ”
Without waiting for Liu Yan to agree, Zhang Yi said again: "My lord, Zhang Yi has to advise you, you have to do your best to kill the thief." Otherwise, Your Majesty, it's not easy to explain. ”
After Liu Yan heard this, his face changed and he roared angrily: "Zhang Yi, don't go too far!" Old man, it's not your turn to point fingers at me! How the old man wants to fight is the old man's business. If you dare to say more, believe it or not, the old man killed you! ”
Seeing this, Zhang Yi was not afraid, but sat on the ground, looked at Liu Yan casually, and said lazily:
"If Zhang Yi is greedy for life and afraid of death, he won't come here to rap. Whether the adult wants to kill Zhang Yi or not, it doesn't matter to Zhang Yi at all. “
Seeing that Liu Yan was still angry, Zhang Yi continued: "The important thing is you, my lord. The adult killed Zhang Yi, Zhang Yi just died, and the adult will be attacked on both sides, do you understand what I mean? ”
After Liu Yan listened, his face was cloudy. Liu Yan said: "You go on. “
Zhang Yi continued: "If your Excellency chooses not to cooperate with Your Majesty, or if you disobey Yang and Yin, then Your Majesty will no longer recognize your identity as a great Han clan, and you will become a real loner. ”
Liu Yan's face was a little unbearable, and he roared angrily: "Zhang Yi, you are presumptuous! ”
Zhang Yi said: "My lord, good medicine is good for illness, Zhang Yi is thinking about adults." ”
Seeing that Liu Yan's face softened a little, Zhang Yi continued: "My lord, if you refuse to cooperate with Your Majesty, you will not only lose your reputation in the family, but more importantly, once you choose the wrong one, you have to pray that the Yellow Turban Bandit Army will not wreak havoc on your Yizhou." ”
"And just now, the adults and the subordinates, as well as General Zhang, analyzed together, with only one adult, even if he blocked the bandit army, he couldn't stop the rice thief Zhang Lu."
"What's more, once the Yellow Turban bandit army attacks the place where the adults are governed, whether the adults choose to fight alone or ally with the imperial court, the adults have to suppress the bandits, so why not choose to suppress the bandits with the imperial court? What do you say, my lord? ”
Liu Yan was stunned for a while, as if he was a little confused by what Zhang Yi said. After a while, Liu Yan came back to his senses.
"Hahahaha, good, good Zhang Yi, what a clever mouth." Liu Yan said: "Even if the ancient Zhang Yi is resurrected, it's nothing more than that." “
Zhang Yi smiled and said, "My lord has won the award, and the ancient Zhang Yi is Zhang Yi's lifelong pursuit." Your Excellency, we might as well sign this gentleman's agreement. ”
Liu Yan said: "Good posterity, just rush to your perseverance, why don't I Liu Yan sign it!" What's more, Mr. is still thinking about Liu everywhere, and Liu has a lot of offenses, looking at Mr. Haihan. ”
Zhang Yi said: "I am equivalent to doing things for Your Majesty, so I said it politely." Now that we have achieved our common goal, Nayi will return to His Majesty after lunch. ”
The agreement between Liu Yan and Liu Wei to jointly target the Taiping Righteous Army was signed with the joint efforts of Qin Hao and Zhang Yi.
Zhang Yi returned to Yangzhou half a month later, and reported the matter to Qin Hao and Liu Wei as it was. Liu Wei and Qin Hao were also very satisfied with Zhang Yi's outstanding results.
At this time, after a month's long journey, Shi Dakai and others had not yet left the territory of Jiaozhou.
The Long March is full of dangers. Due to many reasons such as water and soil adaptation and disease, the Taiping army lost a total of 4,000 men this month, and there were more than 40,000 soldiers in the army.
And there is also the natural danger of Anshun Field waiting for them in front. Shi Dakai was surrounded and suppressed by the Qing Dynasty army in Anshun Field next to the Dadu River in the official history.
Dadu River, this river full of legends, this river full of miracles, this river that has witnessed too many joys and sorrows in history, this time, can Shi Dakai and others fight a bloody way and successfully rendezvous with friendly forces?
Listen to the next breakdown.
