Chapter 56 Determination

The historical record of Bu Si was captured in August, and now because Jiang Sheng, the "butterfly that crossed over", flapped his wings, the historical trajectory has undergone a small change, and Bu Si was captured in mid-July. But the war in the south has not changed in the slightest www.biquge.info

The allied army formed by Zhu Jun and Xu Xuan, the assassin of Jingzhou, was frustrated in its attack on Wancheng, and there was still no progress from June to mid-July.

Sikong Zhang Wen said: "Back then, Qin Yongbai Qi and Yan Ren Leyi were both protracted and protracted, so they could defeat the enemy. Zhu Jun fought against the thieves of Yingchuan and won a complete victory. The edict ordered Zhu Jun to lead his troops to the south, the plan was very thorough, at this time to change the general, it is a taboo for soldiers, the war is not won in a battle, he should be given time, in order to succeed. ”

Emperor Ling said: "Well, what Zhang Sikong said is reasonable, there is no need to discuss the matter of recalling Zhu Jun!" ”

There are officials in the court who are close to Zhu Jun, and secretly sent a letter to Zhu Jun, explaining the criticism of the DPRK and China, Zhu Jun was furious, "I have lived in the temple for a long time, my eyes are high, and my eyes are low, how can the front-line war be known by people without roots (that is, eunuchs)?" ”

Xu Xuan said: "Wancheng can't be attacked for a long time, the court and China will inevitably provoke criticism, the general doesn't need to be angry, I can do my duty, why fight with these villains!" ”

Zhu Jun said: "What Xu Tingshi said is extremely true. Wancheng has abundant material reserves, the Yellow Turban thieves refuse to defend the city, our army can only win by attacking, and it is not wise to fight for consumption. ”

Wancheng has a lot of soldiers and enough food, Zhao Hong simply ignored the attack of the official army, anyway, if you come to attack me, I can defend it, and I will not see you when you lead me out of the city.

Zhu Jun was stunned that there was nothing he could do, considering that the officers and troops had been fighting for days and were very tired, Zhu Jun had no choice but to retreat and recuperate, and then use the main force of the army to contain Wancheng, and send a small force to clear the Yellow Turban troops in other areas of Nanyang County with the assistance of Xu Xuan, intending to accumulate small victories into big victories and make Wancheng Yellow Turbans isolated.

At both ends of the table, the imperial court edict arrived at the camp of Huangfu Song, and Huangfu Song received the edict and handed over the Dongjun battle report to Xiaohuangmen to bring back to the imperial court.

In the battle report, Huangfu Song played Jiang Sheng as the captain, because Jiang Sheng and the ten permanent servants have never intersected, and there is no generous bribe, this position of captain has nothing to do with Jiang Sheng.

After Zhang Jiaojun won several big victories, his momentum soared, and the strength of the Jizhou Yellow Turban has been greatly expanded, reaching 100,000 people.

After the Battle of Yingchuan, Zhang Bao retreated to Xiaquyang to rest, while Zhang Liang retreated to Guangzong. The two base areas, one south and one north, were connected, and Liu Yu was passive in defense, turning a blind eye to the battle in Jizhou, and did not send troops to support. And Dong Zhuo failed one after another, his morale was low, and he was powerless to expand the Yellow Turban.

Seeing the growing Yellow Turban in Jizhou, the Ten Standing Servants knew that they couldn't hide it, so they grinded their mouths in front of Emperor Ling, and Emperor Ling was furious when he saw the new battle report, and issued an edict ordering Huangfu Song to command the war in Jizhou with full authority, and demoted Dong Zhuo back to Longxi and appointed Longxi County as the Taishou.

Huangfu Song received an edict to choose a day to pull out the camp and go north to coerce Guangzong.

Zhang Jiao operated Guangzong as the base camp of the Yellow Turban Army, and the troops of Guantao, Quzhou, and Julu counties set up layers of defense lines in the south, and Zhang Bao stationed troops in Xiaquyang and surrounding counties in the north, occupying almost the entire Julu County.

Huangfu Song had not yet grasped the report of the Jizhou war, so he did not attack rashly, but built a high barrier fifty miles south of Guantao, set up camp, and prepared for a protracted war.

Jiang Sheng still served as the Sima of other departments, but Huangfu Song trusted him a lot, and transferred 10,000 infantry and 5,000 cavalry to Jiang Sheng's command, responsible for the clearance operations and support operations in the border area between Jizhou and the Sili Captain's Department.

Before Jiang Sheng crossed over, he was only the captain of a special operations detachment commanding dozens of people, but after the Eastern Han Dynasty, due to the Yellow Turban Rebellion, by chance, he actually commanded 15,000 soldiers and horses, which is equivalent to the establishment of an integrated division, and now he is also the leader of an independent division!

Zhang Jiao's forward troops deployed in Wei County discovered the traces of Jiang Shengjun, and then reported to Zhang Jiao in the starry night, and Zhang Jiao ordered all departments to strictly defend and not take the initiative to fight, but only to contain the officers and soldiers.

He Yi was originally a middle-level cadre of the Yingchuan Yellow Turban Bocai Department, after the destruction of the Bocai Army, He Yi gathered 2,000 remnants of the army plus more than 5,000 defeated soldiers who fled when Zhang Baojun was defeated, avoided the edge of the official army, went north to Jizhou, and occupied Wei County on the north side of the border between the Sili Captain Department and Jizhou, which developed in the gap between the official army.

This time Jiang Sheng was facing He Yi's troops, this was the first large-scale battle that Jiang Sheng commanded through the first time, and he couldn't help but feel apprehensive in his heart, and he was still studying intelligence and strategies to break the enemy until late at night.

Jiang Sheng came through and knew the extreme importance of intelligence, so he would send people out to collect intelligence whenever he went to a place, whether it was military, customs, hydrology, etc., he had to sort it out.

Jiang Sheng summed up the combat experience of the past six months, and found that most of the successive fire attacks were successful at night, and most of the successes during the day were when the enemy's troops were superior to the enemy or when the enemy army was facing collapse, and they were all auxiliary attacks.

Wei Jun was different, Jiang Sheng organized a frontal attack on a large scale, and it was doubtful whether the fire attack could be used.

He Yi's garrison in Wei County totaled 20,000 people, mainly concentrated in the line from Ye County to W County, and the main force of Huangfu Song was stationed in the south of Guantao, and the west side was W County. Jiang Sheng's first battle after sending troops will also be in W County. The defenders of W County were commanded by Homan and consisted of seven thousand men. He Man and He Yi were both middle-level generals of the Yingchuan Yellow Turban, and after the defeat, they merged with He Yi and were controlled by He Yi.

Although the county seat is not large, the city wall is very high, and the chance of winning a strong attack is not great.

In the woods outside the city gate, Jiang Sheng, who was dressed in people's clothes, was carefully observing the movements of the defenders of W County.

The east gate of the city is passable, but due to the entry of officials and troops into Jizhou, W County has obviously strengthened its vigilance, and there are dozens of soldiers at the gate of the city who are responsible for inspection, Jiang Sheng noticed that when the people enter the city, they must hand over a thing similar to a token to the soldiers, and then they can enter the city, and the people who go out of the city must receive this token from the soldiers.

Jiang Sheng couldn't help but secretly praise, this He Man is still quite tricky, he actually engaged in the pass system, he is a talent, but he can be praised and praised, and things have to be done. After a few days of observation, Jiang Sheng mastered the law of the soldier's shift change, and he had a plan in his mind.

August 15 is the Mid-Autumn Festival in later generations, but there is no Mid-Autumn Festival at this time, but on the day of the full moon, many people go out of the city.

The soldiers defending the city restricted the entry and exit of personnel, and the precautions were stricter, and they were released every two hours, and there were people lining up inside and outside the city gate, and Jiang Sheng felt that the opportunity had come.

In the afternoon, the people who left the city returned to the city one after another, and the guards had already changed shifts, and Yu Ban and dozens of others mixed in with the people and lined up to wait to enter the city.

"Where's your exit card?" A soldier stopped Yu Ban, who was about to enter the city.

"Out of town?" Yu Ban didn't react, the soldier held the hilt of the knife and looked at Yu Ban vigilantly.
