Chapter 57: Centrifugation
Zhang He snorted sullenly and said, "Just leave three thousand guards!" ”
Ju Yi's color changed, and he roared: "Zhang He! Don't forget that Quang Binh also left 3,000 guards, and if we come a few more times, we will have no soldiers to use! ”
Yuan Shao's facial muscles twitched, how could this Yan Zheng be so cunning, and roared: "Order, the rear team will change to the forward, and the whole army will return to Guangping!" ”
Ju Yi said solemnly: "General, most of the Jizhou army led by the last general is in Yecheng, if you don't enter the city, I'm afraid that you will lose the morale of the army!" Therefore, the last general had to take the Jizhou army into the city to see the situation of his family and stay in Yecheng. He bowed: "It will be difficult to accompany the general!" ”
Yuan Shao said coldly: "Coveting the family, how can it be done by a man!" Ju Shesheng, you have disappointed General Ben too much! Then take care of yourself, drive! ”
A moment later, Yuan Shao and Zhang He led 8,000 elite northern troops back to Guangping in the south, while Ju Yi led 4,000 Jizhou soldiers into Yecheng to garrison, and was warmly welcomed by the Yecheng family.
"Dashuai, where should we go next?" Han Dang asked after he was full of wine and meat. The rest of the generals also quieted down one after another, and were extremely concerned about this issue.
"It is never advisable to stick to one place. Save the land and lose people, lose people and land, save people and lose land, and lose people and land! Yan Zhanshu used the words of the founding ancestor of Huaxia as an introduction and began to analyze the situation: "Yuan Shao's troops far exceeded ours, but he successively divided his troops in Guangping and Yecheng, and at this moment he only had half of his troops in his heyday. This is the proof that we have solved the 3,000 troops left behind in Quang Binh! ”
"How many more circles will we take Yuan Shao? By the way, deal with the forces he left behind to defend the city? "Lei Gong thinks beautifully.
"Yuan Benchu is a model in the world after being the fourth and third dukes, he is a model in the world, won't he be so stupid?" Gao Ran felt that it was impossible, this kind of loss, it was enough to eat once, how could it be possible to eat continuously!
"Therefore, we must attack the enemy and save it!" Yan Zhanshu smiled wryly, "Next, let's fight Changshan!" ”
It was another whole night of rapid marching, and in the early morning of the next day, when Yuan Shao rushed back to Guangping with 8,000 exhausted soldiers, what awaited them was an undefended empty city! The four gates of the whole Quang Binh City are wide open, the birds are silent, the pedestrians in the market are extinct, and the chickens and dogs do not smell.
"What's going on? Could it be that there is fraud in it? Zhang He's expression was grim, and he said in a deep voice, "It's better to send a team of soldiers into the city to investigate." ”
"Hmm!" Yuan Shao responded and ordered, "The army is resting outside the city, the soldiers of the three armies will not untie their clothes, and the swords will not leave their hands!" Lu Xiang listened to the order. ”
Lu Xiang rode forward and said in a deep voice: "The end will be there." ”
"Lead five hundred troops, go to the city to investigate, but there are rogues in ambush."
Lu Xiang clenched his fists and said loudly: "The last general will obey the order." ”
Lu Xiang received the military order and ordered 500 soldiers to enter the city from the north gate of Guangping, and at this time, the trapping camp had rushed to the east of Changshan City.
In the past few days, Guangping has repeatedly changed hands between the official army and the Liukou, although the people in the city have not suffered from the Liukou tea poison, but they have been cold, although they know that the imperial army is back, but no one dares to open the door to greet them. Once the officials and troops have arrived, will An Zhi Liukou not follow closely and enter the city? The imperial army's army has been defeated twice, how do you know that there will not be a third?
Lu Xiang searched the whole city and found nothing, so he ordered the forcible arrest of more than a dozen innocent people, and under torture, he knew that the trapped camp had already left for a long time, as for where he went, and the whereabouts of his brother Lu Kuang, but he didn't know anything. Poor Shengdou Xiaomin, how can he know such a major event of a military aircraft?
Hearing Lu Xiang's report, Yuan Shao frowned, where did this Yan Zheng go? Suddenly, a wolf smoke rose into the sky in the northeast, and Zhang He's face tightened: "General, look!" ”
Yuan Shao raised his head, thought about it slightly, and immediately understood: "It's not good, that direction is Changshan!" The officials of Yecheng are all over there! The whole army turned, and the troops went to the rescue! ”
"And this Guangping?" Lu Xiang was stunned, just don't care?
"Guangping?" Yuan Shao was very annoyed, Guangping lost Lu Kuang and 3,000 Northern Army, in order to hold Yecheng, he divided 4,000 Jizhou soldiers and Ju Yi, and there were only 8,000 Northern Army left under his command. But when this Lu Xiang asked in front of everyone, he couldn't help but leave an explanation: "Lu Xiang, I will appoint you as the lieutenant of Guangping County, bring 500 soldiers, and recruit 2,000 soldiers to defend the city on the spot!" ”
It's good to keep it, but if you can't keep it, there is also a scapegoat! Yuan Shao's eyes glanced at Lu Xiang coldly: "When the time comes, let him go with his brother underground!" With a whip of his horse, the war horse suddenly rushed out.
Zhang He glanced at Lu Xiang sympathetically and said, "You try to recruit as many soldiers as possible, and it is still no problem to defend the city and not go to war." ”
"Thank you, Captain, for the point." Lu Xiang understood in his heart, and looked gloomily at the army going away. Turning to look at the dark city gate hole behind him, he couldn't help but feel nervous, and said loudly: "The whole army listens to the order, closes the city gate, mobilizes the people, and knocks on the city wall one by one to ensure that there is no hidden soldier hole!" "This is a lesson learned from the last time he lost Guangping, and Lu Xiang is also slowly growing.
In front of the gate of Changshan City, the three thousand trapped camps dressed in Han army armor and wrapped in Liu Yu were shouting to the colonel on the city gate: "Lord Liu Yu of Youzhou Mu has returned from danger, why don't you open the door quickly to greet him!" ”
Hearing this, Liu Yu's face was red and white for a while, and he wanted to escape? The arms behind him were tied behind him, and a cloak outside blocked the eyes of the inspection on the city tower, and the two big men on the side looked very much like loyal guards, but they firmly squeezed the space for the war horse to move, so that Liu Yu had no possibility of escaping.
The little colonel on the city tower is only sixteen or seventeen years old, he looks like a jade tree in the wind, a talent, a set of Han army clothes and armor looks majestic on him, he should still have a little knowledge, and shouted to the below: "Lord Liu, please wait a moment." He turned around and whispered to the guards on the side: "Go and invite the adults who know Lord Liu in the city to come and see if it is really Youzhou Mu." ”
"No!" The guards glanced at the city in surprise, a few jumped off the city tower, jumped on the war horse, and rushed to the county government located in the center of Changshan County.
"What, Liu Youzhou has returned from danger and is outside the city at the moment?" Hearing the soldier's report, a group of people suddenly boiled, and could no longer care about continuing to worry about the country and the people, as if a pot of boiling water was poured in the loach pond, and suddenly thousands of heads surged, scrambling to the direction of the city gate.
"With so many people coming over, you must be able to tell if it's true or not, right?" The guard sighed: "The captain is going to bend over miserably." "I can't help but worry when I think of my handsome lieutenant constantly bending down and saluting the adults in the past, getting up and bending down again.
Sure enough, seeing such a large wave of adults rushing over, the face of the small school at the head of the city turned blue, as an example for his subordinates, the small school has always been very strict with himself, especially the etiquette is not to be wasted, so he hugged his fists and said: "The armor is on the body, I can't give full courtesy, and I ask you to forgive me - I have seen Lord Liu, Master Ma, Lord Feng, and Lord Feng??????"
A group of people flocked past Xiao Xiaoxiao, and after nodding in return, Xiao Xiao straightened his waist, walked quickly to the front of several adults, pointed to the city, and asked, "Is that Lord Liu Yu Liu of Youzhou?" ”
At this time, Master Ma had already rushed to the edge of the city wall, and looked down with his hands on the tent, and sure enough, in the middle of such a large group of knights, Lord Liu Yu and Liu were riding on a horse, looking at himself - "Hurry up and open the door, Liu Youzhou is really a good person, and he has returned from danger!" ”
How dare the soldiers on the side slack off, hurriedly shook the wheels, put down the drawbridge on the moat, and more than a dozen people hurriedly jumped off the two-zhang high city wall, struggled to lift the heavy gate to the side, and then opened the city gate, the sound of heavy horses' hooves sounded, and when I looked up, the knights outside the city were riding their horses and rushing into the city.
Wait a minute! Why are their sabers lying horizontally on the saddle, and when the light of the sword flashes, and the heads of the people fly, with this question, the poor little soldiers have blood splattered the city gates in two places.
When the cavalry outside the city began to charge, the colonel surnamed Zhao felt that something seemed to be wrong, and after entering the psychic realm, his keen five senses made him clearly hear a few inaudible screams in the deafening sound of horses' hooves, and knew that things were not good!
