Chapter 1291: I'm Afraid They Can't Keep Up (Page 1/1)

In mid-February, Donglai County is not its county.

As soon as the springboard was put down, Sun Qian lifted the hem of his clothes, stepped on the rickety springboard, walked briskly onto the boat, came to Shen You in a few steps, and looked at the younger Pang Tong beside him, with envy in his eyes.

"I have long heard that General Sun is a dragon and phoenix, a hero in the world, but I didn't expect him to have so many handsome young men under his command."

Shen You smiled. "Qingzhou is also an outstanding person, and the reputation of Donglai Shuangbi is much stronger than mine. Sun Jun, how is the situation in Qingzhou? ”

Sun Qian did not shirk and told him about the situation in Qingzhou. He rushed to this remote place to greet Shen You and explain to him the situation in Qingzhou. Not only for Tian Kai, but also for himself. Yuan Xi vigorously recruited talents, not only the talents of Jinan and Qi counties that he conquered, but also many scholars from Beihai and Donglai, and the great Confucian Zheng Xuan was one of them. His friend Sun Shao was also ready to go, he had already come to make an appointment with him, he even packed his luggage, and by chance he heard that Sun Ce was going to receive Qingzhou, he hesitated again and decided to see the situation.

He is a small family, Yuan Xi may not look down on him, and Sun Ce is from a poor family, so he has no discrimination against poor talents. For him, there are obviously more opportunities to invest in Sun Ce. Seeing Shen You so young at this moment, he had another hope in his heart. In his early twenties, he could take on a big task alone and lead tens of thousands of elite soldiers, if Sun Ce's subordinates were not short of people, how could they be so eclectic.

Sun Qian introduced the situation in Qingzhou and spread out the map at the same time. The map was brought by Tian Kai. Gongsun Zan had already ordered it to be delivered, asking Tian Kai to hand over Qingzhou to Sun Ce, and then rush back to Youzhou with the ordnance and grain provided by Sun Ce to help in the war. After Liu He returned to Youzhou, Gongsun Zhan was under a lot of pressure and was no longer able to take care of Qingzhou. With Tian Kai's ability, he couldn't keep Qingzhou, so he simply gave it to Sun Ce, and he could sell it for a good price.

After listening to Sun Gan's introduction, Shen You breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that Yuan Xi had not yet sent troops. After receiving Sun Ce's order, he began to prepare, and on the fifth day of the first lunar month, he ordered to go on the expedition, hurrying slowly, but he was still caught off guard by Yuan Shao's sudden dispatch of troops. He was worried that Yuan Xi would also send troops in the first month like Yuan Shao, in that case, Tian Kai would probably not be able to hold Qingzhou and be defeated before he arrived. Now that he knows that Yuan Xi is still in Linzi, he has half let go of his heart.

20,000 Jiangdong elites, more than 10 building ships, and nearly 1,000 other warships entered the port one after another, and left the dock in an orderly manner after unloading the footmen and carriages and horses. This port is also provided by the Elk family, it is a good port that they found when they were doing business, and now it has become one of the stations of the sailors, after renovation, the military camp and roads have been repaired, and the traffic is very convenient, but Gan Ning and Elfang have built a military-specific wharf in addition to the commercial wharf for military secrecy, and not many people know about it.

Sun Qian had already sent someone to clean the barracks, and Shen You could move in immediately, but he didn't stop and ordered the whole army to set off and rush to Beihai. Linzi is too far away from Beihai, Yuan Xi may get news at any time, maybe Yuan Xi was also on the march when Sun Qian set off, but Sun Qian didn't know. He had left the North Sea ten days earlier, and the time difference of ten days was enough to have fatal consequences.

Shen You called Chen Dao again, and the three of them discussed together, he hoped that Chen Zhi could lead the guards to set off immediately, rush to Beihai as quickly as possible, and assist Tian Kai in the battle. If the situation is not right, Tian Kai's life must be saved, and Yuan Xi cannot be arrested.

Chen Zhi objected. "The order General Sun gave me is to guarantee your safety, not Tian Kai's safety. Beihai is lost, but we can still take it back. If anything happens to you, I can't explain it to General Sun. Yuan Xi may attack Tian Kai, so he can't attack you? ”

Shen You smiled. "It is more than 400 miles from here to Beihai, and if you march on foot and cavalry at the same time, you will have to walk for at least seven or eight days, and the soldiers will be relatively tired. If you lead the guards to ride first, it will be two days as fast as possible, three days as slow as possible, and four or five days in between. A lot can happen in four or five days. You go first, I can walk slowly, thirty or forty miles a day, be vigilant, who can hurt me? Even if Yuan Xi leads tens of thousands of troops to surround me, I am confident enough to hold out until you and Tian Kai come to help. With Shiyuan by my side and help me plan, there will be no problem. ”

Pang Tong also supported Shen You's decision, and although Chen Zhi did not approve, he still obeyed Shen You's orders. He set out with two hundred guards, and in addition to the mounts of the soldiers, there were also a hundred horses. Sun Qian was very surprised, Jiangdong lacked horses, since there were three hundred war horses, why not equip some knights? A hundred horses is too extravagant, even if it is a Qingxu person, the number of horses is only more than twenty percent. According to this ratio, Chen Zhi could have added another fifty knights.

Chen Zhi smiled but did not speak. These 100 war horses are not just as simple as preparing horses, there is a big killing weapon given to him by Sun Ce, which cannot be exposed for the time being, the longer the secrecy lasts, the stronger the suddenness, and the better the effect.

Facts have proved that Shen You's worries are not groundless. Chen arrived in a hurry for two days, and as soon as he arrived in Chunyu County, he received a message from Tian Kai. Five days ago, Yuan Xi led his troops into Beihai County, the forward general was Yan Liang, Tian Kai had fought with him before, knowing that he was high in martial arts, dared to fight, and his subordinates Qingzhou soldiers could fight, did not dare to fight hard, and took the initiative to retreat in the direction of it, hoping to get reinforcements from Shen You as soon as possible, but he was still caught up by Yan Liang in Fuyong Mountain, cut off the retreat, unable to move, and as soon as Yuan Xi's main force arrived, he was unable to fly.

Sun Gan was so frightened that his face was pale, but Chen Zhi was even calmer. He ordered the knights to dismount and rest and feed the horses, while he inquired carefully about the situation with the messengers who asked for help. Knowing that Tian Kai's loss was not big, but he couldn't break through, he breathed a sigh of relief, opened the map, looked at it repeatedly, and then wrote a military report and sent someone to send it to Shen You.

Although he didn't know what Chen Zhi's plan was, seeing that Chen Zhi was so calm, Sun Qian was inexplicably relieved.

"Brother Gongyou, don't be nervous, Tian Yuanjun has been prepared for a long time, he has not suffered any losses, the battle may not be won, but it is still okay to hold for a few days. Although Yan Liang is good at fighting, he will not risk heavy casualties to force an attack, and will definitely wait for Yuan Xi's main force to arrive and surround Tian Yuanjun before launching an attack. ”

Sun Qian was a little embarrassed. Chen Zhi said tactfully, that is to save face for Tian Kai, what does it mean to be prepared in advance, that is to be ready at any time, ready to escape. It is estimated that as soon as he heard that Yan Liang was coming, Tian Kai would have fled with his luggage on his back, otherwise he would not have retreated to Fuyong Mountain in three days, and traveled fifty or sixty miles a day, which was faster than the march.

"What is the general's plan to break the enemy?"

Chen Zhi smiled. "I only have two hundred horsemen, and it is impossible for me to attack Yan Liang's men and horses head-on, but we can rush to Yuan Xi's baggage. Burn his grain and grass, and he will be in chaos. Brother Gongyou, you are from Beihai, you should know very well which way Yuan Xi will go. ”

Sun Qian also laughed. This method is good, burn the grain and grass, no matter how many people Yuan Xi has, he will be in chaos without a fight. Of course, he is familiar with the terrain, and the only thing he is worried about is that Chen Zhi only has two hundred horsemen, and Yuan Xi has sent at least two or three thousand people to escort the grain and grass, and the difference in strength is ten times, and the possibility of Chen Zhi's surprise attack is not very large.

"General, isn't two hundred horsemen too little? If you want me to contact a few more families, it is still possible to gather two or three hundred horsemen. ”

Chen Zhi shook his head. "I'm afraid they won't be able to keep up, but they will startle the snake."
