Zhao Qian nodded, and said to Tai Shici beside him: "Ziyi has done a good job, the mental outlook of this army has been greatly different. ”

Tai Shi Ci hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "Serving the lord, Ci doesn't dare to slack off!" ”

"Pepin!" Zhao Qian shouted.

Gao Shun hurriedly came to Zhao Qian, hugged his fists and responded: "The end will be!" ”

Zhao Qian pointed to the Huaiyang surrender army in front of him, and said to Tai Shici and Gao Shun: "The 30,000 Huaiyang surrender army is the success of the surprise attack of Peping, and it has been adapted by Ziyi, so I will hand it over to you and the others, and I hope to make good use of it!" ”

Tai Shi Ci and Gao Shun glanced at each other, and they both saw the joy in each other's eyes, and hurriedly said, "Thank you, General!" ”

Zhao Qian nodded and said: "Since you and the two of you are allowed to lead the army, I will give one to this Huaiyang army, and call it the 'rebel army', and crusade against the ministers!" ”

"Thank you, General, for the name!"

The soldiers of the Huaiyang surrender army, that is, the rebel army, thanked them in unison, since Zhao Qiandu had already given them names, it means that they really accepted them and no longer regarded them as surrendered troops.

Moreover, the generals and colonels who were originally friendly to Yuan Shu in the army have now been controlled, and those who are now in positions are all suppressed very badly in peacetime.

Therefore, they are very grateful to Zhao Qian for appointing them as the new general, and in their hearts, Zhao Qian is naturally more worthy of allegiance.

Subsequently, after a few words of exhortation, Zhao Qian returned to the camp, as for how to distribute this rebel army, he did not ask too much, at that time Tai Shi Ci and Gao Shun matter, he just wanted a loyal team that could win the battle.

Back in the military tent, Zhao Qian looked at his subordinates and said with a smile: "Although Lei Bo is broken, Yuan Shu's other armies can't be underestimated!" ”

Indeed, Lei Bo's army is even a vanguard army, and the real main force is Qiao Ruitun's 100,000 army in Runan, which is Yuan Shu's main force to resist Zhao Qian this time.

However, Zhao Qian had an advantage that Yuan Shu could not match, that is, the collection of intelligence.

The sergeants of the Feixun Battalion led by Jing Fei would send back all kinds of information from all over Runan and Shouchun every day.

Including military transfers, the situation of the people, and the state of the military generals, Zhao Qian knows everything about it, at least he can know it in his heart.

On the other hand, Yuan Shu only knew that Zhao Qian led the army to attack, and only knew a few roads that the army had to pass, and he knew almost nothing about the rest.

Which generals did Zhao Qian bring? How much grain and grass did you bring? Where is the grain and grass? Yuan Shu didn't know anything about these.

Xun You nodded and said: "There is news from Peng Ju's subordinates, that Chen Ji has led the army to Shangcai, and after hearing that Lei Bo was broken, he strengthened the defense day and night, for fear that our army would go to attack, hehe." ”

"That Chen Ji is not very capable, but he is a good person, his combat mission this time is to intercept on the road when our army is defeated and retreating, so even if he hears that Lei Bo is broken, he will not send troops to rescue, but he can't hold on, and wait for our army to be defeated and retreat." Zhao Qian also said with a smile.

"Heh, then Chen Ji also looks down on us!" Zhang Fei said without concealment, "Big brother, I invite 10,000 soldiers and horses to go to Shangcai, and I am willing to bring up the head of Chen Jixiang to see the eldest brother!" ”

Zhao Qian nodded, he also wanted to clean up Chen Ji first, although Chen Ji did not come to attack him now, but it was not a reassuring thing to put such an uncertain factor in his rear.

In case he and Qiao Rui are having a good fight, Chen Ji comes from behind, although he will not defeat himself, but it is also very uncomfortable.

Therefore, before entering the hinterland of Yuan Shu, this hidden danger must be eliminated.

At this moment, Xun You said: "Lord, if you attack Chen Ji, then Qiao Rui must not be guarded. ”

"Yes, Qiao Rui is different from Chen Ji, he is the main force to resist the Heavenly Army this time, Lei Bo was taken down by our fast knife, he didn't have time to react, but Chen Ji is a deep ditch and a high base, full defense, we are afraid that it will be difficult to attack in a short time, and Qiao Rui will definitely take this opportunity to raise troops to attack." Zhao Qian agreed.

Xun You nodded and said, "Therefore, the lord must be on guard." ”

Zhao Qian thought about it, stood up, and shouted, "The generals will listen to the order!" ”

"The last general!" Several generals stood up and listened to Zhao Qian's arrangement.

"Yide, Meng Qi, you and you will go to Shangcai with me to attack Chen Ji!" Zhao Qian said to Zhang Fei and Ma Chao.

"Order!" The two hurriedly took the order.

"Zhong Kang, Peping! The two of you lead the troops, continue to move forward, the speed can be slowed down appropriately, find a vital place to station, and contain the Qiaorui army from coming to the rescue! Zhao Qian said to Xu Chu and Gao Shun again.

"Order!" The two had no objections.

"Ziyi, you lead the first army, responsible for the escort of grain and grass, and the reception between the two armies." Zhao Qian instructed Tai Shici again.

Tai Shi Ci clenched his fists and responded: "Order!" ”

Seeing that several generals were leaving and preparing to send troops, Zhao Qian asked Xun You: "According to Gongda's opinion, when will Shangcai Chen Ji be broken?" ”

Xun You frowned slightly, and said: "Chen Ji, this person, has always been timid and cautious, I'm afraid he will only stick to the city, and if he wants to capture it in a short time, I'm afraid it won't be easy." ”

The corners of Zhao Qian's mouth raised, and he said: "In this battle, Yide and Meng Qi personally participated in the battle, and there is also General Ben to suppress the formation, can't you beat Shang Cailai?" ”

"My lord's mind is too simple." Xun You said with a smile, "Then Chen Ji has 30,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, if he can't hold on, his defense power cannot be underestimated." ”

Zhao Qian naturally knew this, but he attacked Shang Cai Chen Ji this time, but he sent Zhang Fei and Ma Chao, both of whom were tiger generals, how could they not defeat Shang Cai?

However, Zhao Qian also knew that Xun You's strategy was powerful, and since he said so, he must have his reasons.

At that moment, Zhao Qian asked: "But I don't know what Gongda's strategy is, can I take Shangcai as soon as possible?" ”

Xun You bowed his hand and said: "I can't talk about a clever plan, but there is a way to break the enemy." ”

"Please go to the future." Zhao Qian hurriedly said.

Xun You responded: "Chen Ji has 30,000 people, if you really want to hold on, then you can't attack it; However, these 30,000 people are not only Chen Ji's advantage, but also his restriction. ”

Zhao Qian frowned, thought for a moment, and then suddenly said with a smile: "Gongda's meaning, is it that these 30,000 troops have been consumed too much?" ”

Xun You nodded and said: "Shangcai is not a big city, there is not so much grain, to support an army of 30,000, it is necessary to transport grain from other places here, the lord only needs to find Chen Ji's grain road, after the road robbery, Shangcai City cut off the grain, either surrender, or go to war, when the time comes, the lord will win." ”

"Although this plan is good, but after all, there is still food in Shangcai City, but I don't know when it will be consumed, it is better to attack first, I want to rely on Yide and Meng Qi's bravery, when I can capture Shangcai!" Zhao Qian said confidently.
