Chapter 284: Withdrawal

Jiang Sheng sighed and said, "The three armies have gathered, and the Xiliang Army has not yet gained a firm foothold, so it is a good time for a counterattack. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info At this time, I returned to Jizhou, and when I counterattacked in the future, the Xiliang Army was already full-fledged, and it was difficult to figure it out. ”

"My lord, Li Dao, Guo Yan and other Xiliang generals are in charge of the government for the first time, and they seem to have a harmonious relationship. The strategy of discord mentioned by the subordinates is precisely to promote their internal strife. It will take time, but it will work! The lord can take advantage of this time to control Ji and Youerzhou, and when the time comes, Xiliang will be divided internally, and the lord is strong, and Xiliang is not ready to be captured? ”

"What Brother Zhicai said is very true! Although Chang'an is strong, it is a lonely city for us, and it has no strategic significance, so why increase casualties in vain? And Jizhou is rich, which can be the capital to dominate the world, weigh the pros and cons, and it is imperative to protect Jizhou! ”

"Why don't I know? It's just that I don't know how many lives will be lost! ”

"Those who achieve great things are not informal. The lord has preserved his strength, and in the future, he will sweep away the dust and return the people to a peaceful and prosperous world, how many people will be saved? ”

The two strategists said so, and Jiang Sheng was not an arbitrary person, so he said: "Little Wu, quickly go and summon the generals of all departments to discuss here." ”

Jiang Wuchai Fei also went to call someone, and after a while, Zhao Yun, Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Li Tong, Song Xian, and Wei Xu all arrived.

"There is a change in Jizhou, and we can only give up the plan of counterattack and return to Jizhou. But Baling is a springboard for a counterattack on Chang'an, and there is no room for error. So someone needs to stay behind and hold on under the nose of the Xiliang Army. I won't specify it here. Nominate yourself! ”

All the generals are vying to stay, after all, there are enough troops to return to Jizhou, and staying in Baling means that there are many dangers, and surviving the siege of the Xiliang army is not just a matter of courage, but a problem!

Jiang Sheng waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet, Guo Jia said: "The subordinate is the order of Baling County, and he should stay behind, please allow it!" ”

Jiang Sheng said: "You arranged it temporarily, you don't have to continue to insist!" ”

"When the lord has spoken, how can he repent? The subordinates are not talented, and they are willing to stand firm in Baling for the lord! ”

"Okay, Wenchen will stay in Fengxiao! Wenda and Fengxian are familiar with the situation of Sanfu and the Xiliang Army, and stay behind to guard Baling! ”

"No!" The three of them responded in unison.

"At present, the Xiliang Army has not yet gained a firm foothold, and it should not attack Baling in the short term! Therefore, you must reserve supplies, recruit generals, and expand your armaments! There were originally more than 2,000 horses in the city left in Baling, and Lu Busuo led 2,000 soldiers and horses to supplement the Baling garrison! Militarily, Feng Xian is the leader, Wenda is the deputy, and the specific battle must obey the strategy of Feng Xiao, and cannot be arbitrary! Remember, your only mission is to survive and defend the tomb! If the situation is forced to prevent Baling, it is indeed impossible to keep Baling, so you must preserve your strength and wait for the opportunity to consume the Xiliang army! ”

Jiang Sheng's overall arrangement is very clear, as a senior commander, he only needs to set the tone, and the arrangement is too detailed to make his subordinates constrained, so the more detailed arrangements will be made by Guo Jia and them according to the actual situation.

"Jiang Sichai" Yu Xiang has been promised to Lu Bu by Jiang Sheng, although he has not officially passed the door, but he has also stayed.

Jiang Sheng said: "It's urgent, and I can't worry about your wedding!" Plan for yourselves! In short, especially in Fengxian, you should pay attention to love each other, discuss things, and do not force the other party to accept or implement. After all, Yu Xiang is from my disciple, don't treat her badly! ”

Lu Budao: "Don't worry, lord! I, Lu Bu, swore to be good to Yu Xiang, if I violated this oath, I would not die a good death! ”

Jiang Sheng nodded and said, "Okay, let's go back and prepare." Tomorrow morning, we will meet Xu Huang, and then the army will set off! Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, and Gao Shun each led two thousand horsemen! ”

"No!" Everyone has understood the military order, responded to it, and then went back to pack up and prepare to go to Jizhou!

Early the next morning, Jiang Sheng and the others hurried to Xu Huang's military camp.

Xi Zhicai went for two days and didn't reply, Xu Huang thought he was ready to attack Chang'an, and was about to gather soldiers and horses to approach Baling, but saw Jiang Sheng and others come to the barracks.

"Gongming greets the lord!" Xu Huang saluted Jiang Sheng, and Xi Zhicai introduced the generals to Xu Huang, and after saluting each other, Xu Huang asked, "I don't know when to attack Chang'an?" ”

Xi Zhicai said: "The situation has changed, we have to return to Jizhou as soon as possible, after we left Jizhou, Liu Yu and Yuan Shao formed an alliance to suddenly attack Jizhou, and my Jizhou army was defeated and retreated, and we have lost the country between the rivers." ”

Xu Huang was indignant and said: "What a Liu Yu, we still supported him in his crusade against Gongsun Zhan, but I didn't expect him to take revenge!" ”

"Those who play with fire will burn themselves! We just took this opportunity to destroy Liu Yu, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan, and then fully control Ji and Youerzhou! Xi Zhicai said.

Xu Huang led the vanguard troops to set off first, all the way east through Luoyang and Yingchuan, and then went north into Jizhou, and Jiang Sheng led the main force of the army to follow.

Zhang Ji was overjoyed when he found out that Jiang Sheng had withdrawn his army, originally he was still worried that Jiang Sheng would attack Chang'an, and his Zhang Ji's camp was outside Chang'an City, and he must have borne the brunt of it, but now that Jiang Sheng had withdrawn, of course he was happy, but Li Ji let him pursue Jiang Sheng's Jizhou army.

Jia Xu, who was relocated to the rank of lieutenant of Sili, hurriedly dissuaded him after getting the news, but Li Wei and Guo Yan agreed that they must report the resentment of the frustration of the siege some time ago.

Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, and Gao Shun formed a "pin" shaped formation, slowly retreated, and after detecting the movements of Zhang Ji and Fan Chou's two armies, Zhang Liao proposed the strategy of ambush warfare, and then the three troops ambushed with the help of favorable terrain.

Zhang Ji and Fan Chou's attention was on Jiang Sheng's main force, who had openly withdrawn the army, and they didn't expect that the soldiers and horses behind the palace were also so powerful!

The soldiers and horses led by Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao were all Xuanjia cavalry, and Gao Shun led the soldiers who had followed Lu Bu for many years, and their combat strength was remarkable.

Fan Chou's first army was the vanguard army, and when he passed by the ambush circle, Zhao Yun directly let it go, and the main force of the army behind him walked slowly. Zhang Liaoguan looked at its scale, that is, 20,000 people, 6,000 to 20,000, and it was an ambush war, so the problem was not very big.

So when the main force of Zhang Ji and Fan Choujun entered the ambush circle, Zhang Liao's army beat the drums of war! Suddenly, six thousand elite cavalry rushed out from behind the mountain and slaughtered like a rolling torrent.

The Xuanjia Cavalry and the Bingzhou Cavalry are both ranger-type armies, with good mobility, and they charge down condescendingly, and they have their own momentum.
