Chapter 617: The Army and the People Are One

He has been with Zhang Liao for many years, Fan Chou knows his personality and leadership talent very well, and naturally he can also understand the intention of Wen Yuan's move, if you want to say that Liu Yijun also has a mountain faction, he and Zhang Liao, Hua Xiong, and Gao Shun belong to the same line, and among the four, Liu Yi values Zhang Wenyuan, the commander of the Yanyun Battalion, which no one agrees with after the battle of Sizhou, and immediately wrote a military order on the case and handed it to Zhang Liao.

"General Zhang, I understand what the eldest brother means, he sees that our casualties this time are a little big, but my Wuhuan boy is never weaker than others, what are Ah Biao and his brother afraid of fighting for the eldest brother? General Fan's subordinates are too few, so let me wait for help, and Ah Biao will personally lead someone. Seeing Fan Chou's resolute expression, Tu Ge Biao on the side couldn't sit still, Liu Yi's concern for his brother seemed to him to be a little underestimating them, the men on the grassland were more righteous when they intersected with others, Tu Ge Biao was straightforward, and he dared to speak out in front of his eldest brother.

"What Brother Tuge said is that the Wuhuan brothers are not weak with people, and so are my Hun soldiers, Yu Jian accepted Shan Yu's order to try his best to help General Liu, now that the war is not decided, how can I give up halfway, I am also willing to send soldiers to go with General Fan, if General Zhang does not believe it, Yu Jian can make a military order with General Fan!" As soon as Tu Ge Biao's words fell, Yu Jian got up again and continued, through this bloody battle, the relationship between him and the Tuge brothers was also closer, and there was no longer tension.

"Lao Yu is right, Ah Biao is willing to write that military order." Tu Ge Biao looked at Yu Jian and smiled and said to Zhang Liao, his words were also extremely firm, and he couldn't lag behind when this person spoke.

"Okay, the two commanders are worthy of the righteous Bo Yuntian, and Liao does not need the two to make a military order, this is the selection of the personnel of the department and it is prudent, but each battalion will send five thousand soldiers to accompany General Fan, and the rest still need to rest, if the enemy retreats, it will not be enough to rely on General Fan to obstruct and destroy the road, I and the two leaders still need to go into battle again to kill the enemy, and we should recuperate at this time." Zhang Liao groaned slightly and said happily, Yu Jiantu Ge Biao's identities are different from Fan Chou, and they are not from the Youzhou army, so of course he will not let them make a military order.

"General Zhang, don't worry!" When the two of them heard this, their faces were happy, and they said in unison, and Tu Ge Biao immediately said: "It's a little strange for the Han people to speak, this righteous Ah Biao knows that the thicker the better, isn't it bad that this is thinner than clouds?" It seems that Tu Ge Biao still has doubts about this.

"Hahaha, Ah Biao, I'll just say that you usually read less, this is General Zhang's praise for you, it seems that you have to work hard when you go back this time." After hearing Tu Ge Biao's words, everyone was stunned, and after a while, Guan Hai laughed and said that he had been by Liu Yi's side for a long time, and his relationship with the Tu Ge brothers and Hu Yanshuo and others was quite close, so he had no scruples.

"Who said that I don't read much, my eldest brother usually says that I am already half of the Han people, very knowledgeable, you are amazing, then you tell me what this means?" Tu Ge Biao was extremely unconvinced when he heard this, he has spent a good period of time in Youzhou every year in the past few years, and his level of sinology has grown very fast, and Liu Yi has never been stingy with praise for him.

"This..." Guan Hai was a little speechless when he heard this, and his old face couldn't help but blush slightly.

"Well, Leader Tuge, this is not to say that you are weak, but it is to say that the leader's righteousness is so strong that the sky and the clouds seem thin." Guan Hai's appearance made everyone even more amused, it seems that this muddy person is not easy to laugh, Zhang Liao hurriedly explained, which also saved Guan Ziping embarrassment.

"Oh, I see, what the eldest brother said is that the Han people speak very profoundly, or General Zhang is knowledgeable, Ah Biao admires." Tu Gebiao nodded slightly when he heard this, with a look of understanding.

This time, Guan Hai was even more uncomfortable, but he knew in his heart that Yitu Ge Biao's character would say whatever he wanted, and he had no other intentions, and he secretly warned himself that he would have less of this joke in the future, otherwise he would be embarrassed, but he also knew the meaning of this sentence!

"The commander must also rest from his hard work, and the personal guards and iron cavalry must set off before General Fan, and if they see the enemy army coming, they should immediately send a message to the rear Daoist soldiers to be on guard." Zhang Liao's face was straight, and he said to Guan Hai again, this arrangement of the main army division can be described as comprehensive.

"Don't worry, general, if they hurt those thieves, they will naturally run, but it is easy to come and difficult to go, and my personal guard iron cavalry will definitely keep an eye on it." Guan Hai also said angrily when he heard this, Liu Yi was polite to Fan Chou, but he was directly ordered, but in Guan Hai's heart, this is the greatest importance of the lord, and the guard battalion has always been by the lord's side, so he should contribute more at this time.

"General Zhang, the enemy army is strong, and General Guan is injured again, so I am willing to help him!" Ma Chao said excitedly, in the previous battle, Guan Hai led the army to lure the enemy to fight bravely, but he suffered some minor injuries, after all, the lack of strength in his right arm made Ziping a little worse than before.

"Hey~~ A little bit of a little injury is commonplace, what's it?" Guan Hai didn't care.

"Meng Qi knows his intentions, but this matter of breaking the road to inspect the enemy is important, our army still has the responsibility of containing the enemy, at this time there are still more than 20,000 Xiliang iron cavalry in the coalition army, Meng Qi and others should accompany me to welcome the party is the best policy, General Guan will be able to deal with it after a hundred battles." Zhang Liao said that Liu Yi's general order to him was to delay the enemy's army, but on the basis of not affecting the layout of the main army, he could give more play, and Ma Chao's prestige in the Xiliang army was obvious to all, and it was of great use.

Seeing Zhang Liao say this, Ma Chao had no objections, and after a detailed discussion in the tent, Guan Hai turned back to the point of departure and went north, and the soldiers of Fan Chou's Bingzhou Battalion and Wuhuan Hun Cavalry Army would also follow! Almost at the same time, Luoyang City under the coalition camp is also moving, the soldiers on both wings have been closer to the main tent signs, a few people after a discussion will feel that Luoyang City is difficult to go down for a while, if they delay under the city and not to mention whether they can capture the city, their grain route will be cut off first, although it is helpless but there is no other way at this time.

At the fifth watch, the 20,000 soldiers led by Fan Chou quickly rushed to the official road where the purpose was, and carried out the method of breaking the attack as stated in the main army! Liu Yi and Zhang Hu's move was out of careful consideration, in the war of the Cold Weapon Age, the army's requirements for roads were not as important as in later generations, but this time the coalition army came to attack Luoyang with a lot of baggage, and there were many carriages and horses, and the wide and smooth roads in Sizhou provided great convenience for their march, but at this time, it happened to be reversed, and it would also become a huge obstacle when they retreated.

The destruction of the road by Fan Chou and the Zhou battalion is only part of the plan, Zhang Liao's cavalry will also swim on its flanks in the posture of a suspicious soldier, making a big noise, if the coalition forces want to abandon the road and go to the mountains and fields, they must give up all their baggage and will reduce the speed of the march because of this, and it is easier to encounter enemy attacks, no matter how they choose, Liu Yi and Zhang Hu will have corresponding countermeasures! However, at this time, Lang Sheng still had some worries in his heart, and it was naturally okay for the state battalion to go into battle to kill the enemy, but this method of breaking the attack was relatively unfamiliar to them, could Fan Chou be able to make it perfect?

Last night, the generals in the camp also worked together for this method of sabotage, and it was possible to block the narrow places with huge trees and rocks, but after all, there were more than 200,000 coalition troops, how effective could such an obstacle be on them? The best thing is to dig more deep pits on the road, and even dig the official road directly, but the amount of work is extremely huge, and there is a lack of tools in the army, so the discussion will not wait for anyone until the end, and Fan Chou can only do his best.

Sure enough, the soldiers of the state battalion and the Wuhuan Hun cavalry and the horseback are all good men, and they will never frown when they fight against the enemy, but they have a specialization in the art industry, although they are also doing their best to destroy the progress of the road is still very slow, which can't help but make Fan Chou anxious, this official road is more than 100 miles long, according to the current progress, I am afraid it will take five days or more to have the best effect, but if the enemy retreats, how can he give him this time? It's really hard for a clever woman to cook without rice!

Anxious to be anxious, he still has to go all out, at this time the scene on the official road is quite spectacular, all the cavalry soldiers have dismounted, the hot weather makes them fight with the earth with their blades in their hands under the scorching sun, all of them are sweating like rain, even Fan Chou is no exception at this time, but even so, the progress of destroying the road is still difficult for him to satisfy.

At a loss, there were reinforcements from the sky, of course, it was not Zhang Liao or other soldiers who came, but those Sizhou people who evacuated their homes to avoid the war, driven by the heads of the counties, and heard that General Liu needed their help to clean up the gang of thieves, so they rushed over all over the mountains, not only pulling hoes, iron plows and other farm tools in their hands, but also women sent baskets of steamed buns and water, which was like rain for the soldiers who had been fighting under the scorching sun for a long time!

At that time, when Zhang Hu proposed to interrogate everywhere, Liu Yi slapped his forehead vigorously, can anyone be more familiar with this method of people's war than him? But he still had to ask Zhang Hu to come to remind him, if he really cared, he would be in chaos, and immediately let the military advisor act quickly.

"General Fan, the adults said, you have killed those damn thieves and cavalry, now the general is going to clean them up together, these rough jobs are still left to us croppers to do, you have to rest, and when those thieves arrive, beat them hard!" At this time, several old men of some years old surrounded Fan Chou, they were the ones who led the people to come this time, and there were also back-ups led by officials from all over the country, and the people of Sizhou hated these coalition forces that destroyed their homes, plus Liu Yi's prestige, they naturally responded to it!

"Oh, thank you for coming to help, to be honest, my brother is really not as good as the villagers, but Fan was ordered by the general, how could he sit and watch the people work hard and work together! The general said that as long as all the thieves can be annihilated and the broken roads are dug up, he will definitely rebuild them for everyone, and I don't know when the enemy army will come, if you see me sending someone to spread the word, you must withdraw immediately! Fan Chou took a bite of the steamed bun in his hand, and poured down a jar of clear water before he said gratefully, when Lu Bu was under Lu Bu, he had never seen such a scene, and only the lord could be so loved by the people, and now the efficiency of these more than 10,000 people at this time is far better than him, not to mention that there will be a follow-up, he must do his best to ensure his safety.

"The family doesn't speak two words, we listen to General Fan, folks, there are generals here, everyone just work hard and use all your strength for me, the sooner the better!" The old man who spoke was quite arrogant and Fan Chou, and then climbed high and raised his arms, and for a time 10,000 people responded, the scene can be described as extremely spectacular, since the beginning of Youzhou, Liu Yi has paid great attention to the relationship between the army and the people, it can really be said that the army and the people are fish and water, and the fruit of today is the cause of the day!

"Brothers, the people of Sizhou have come to help the general, we can't weaken the elite reputation, everyone continue to work, it's not so easy for those thieves to run, first ask me if I agree." Fan Chou also shouted loudly, and as soon as he put the water altar down, he picked up a hoe and went back to the official road to get busy in person, but his methods were not too rusty.

The progress of this raid has been greatly enhanced, the people of Sizhou and the soldiers are fighting together, and this kind of mutual assistance between the military and the people under the scorching sun has added a lot of different charm to this Sizhou war!
