Chapter 267: Preparing for War
In the conference hall, when Liu Wei and his party hurriedly came in, an embroidered Yi Zhizhi had been waiting here for a long time, and the existence of the Xiuyi Zhizhi was no longer a secret, so Liu Wei did not hide it from Cheng Yu and the others, and asked bluntly: "What happened?" ”
Xiuyi pointed out a letter from his arms, solemnly handed it to Liu Bian, Liu Bian snatched the red silk that was hurriedly unwrapped, and then unfolded the book in a hurry, and hurriedly read it at a glance and ten lines, the originally somewhat gloomy face was even more gloomy between the eyebrows at this moment, and on this hot June day, Cheng Yu and all the soldiers around him felt the slightest coldness.
"Your Highness~" Cheng Yu took a breath and asked in a condensed voice, "What happened?" ”
Liu Wei pondered for a while and said: "Dong Zhuo bribed Zhang Yan of the Montenegrin army with a lot of money, so that he invaded Hanoi on a large scale, Zhang Qu, who stayed in Kwai City, asked for help from the coalition army, and Cao Cao was ordered to lead the army to rescue Hanoi!" ”
Cheng Yu frowned slightly, Zhang Yan's large-scale invasion of Hanoi was a bit unexpected to him, but fortunately Cao Cao had already led the army to the rescue, why did His Highness have such a gloomy face.
In fact, Liu Wei's mind is not here, what he is worried about is the trajectory of history, in history, Cao Cao rose by virtue of the surrender of Qingzhou's millions of yellow turbans, and now he is in order to suppress Cao Cao and start Qingzhou in advance, but he is worried about whether the wheel of history will let Cao Cao rise by the surrender of the Black Mountain Army, after all, such things as crossing and systems have appeared, and it is difficult to guarantee that there is no such thing as providence.
In addition, the news from Lu Zhi who stayed in the coalition army that the Kwantung coalition army led the camp to defeat the Xiliang cavalry since Koji Yi led the camp, and the morale of the Kwantung coalition army rose sharply, not only seized the previous abandoned camp, but also took the opportunity to occupy the camps of Zhang Liao and Lu Bu, and finally took the Tiger Prison Pass in one fell swoop with the morale of the soldiers.
However, the pace of the campaign was also stopped because of this, because Dong Zhuo knew the threat of the Tiger Prison Pass to Luoyang, it was Dong Zhuo who transferred elite troops from the rear, and laid heavy troops between Luoyang City and the Tiger Prison Pass, and set up layers of blockades, and Yuan Shao also knew that the Kwantung coalition army was very attritional when he captured the Tiger Prison Pass, so he strictly guarded the Tiger Prison Pass and did not give the Xiliang Army a chance, and the pace of the Kwantung Army's westward advance also stopped.
The Tiger Prison fell into a state of truce for a while, and the Kwantung coalition forces began to stagger, singing and dancing to their heart's content.
But these two news aside, after all, others are in Qingzhou, whether it is Hanoi County or Tiger Prison Pass, they are beyond the reach of the whip, and the thing that worries him the most at the moment is that there has been an accident in the Yellow Turban Thief in Qingzhou.
"There is news from Guan Cheng that there has been a change in the thieves in Qingzhou." Liu Wei looked at Cheng Yu, whose face changed slightly, and said in a condensed voice: "Guan Hai accepted Guan Cheng's proposal to organize most of the thief forces in Qingzhou under the slogan of reviving the Yellow Turban, but the target is Beihai County, and although there is a dispute between Bu Ji and Guan Hai, the main spearhead is still aimed at our army!" ”
"They're aligned?" Cheng Yu's eyes froze for a moment, this is not good news, at present, Beihai County is just on the right track, I am afraid it will be difficult to fight against the thief army in the entire Qingzhou!
"Not an alliance!" Liu Wei shook his head: "There is no armistice agreement between Guan Hai and Bu Ji, which means that although they jointly pointed the finger at our army, but because Zhang Min killed Guan Hai's only cavalry in order to snatch the war horse before, if Bu Ji did not use the war horse as a bargaining chip, Guan Hai would never be able to form an alliance with him!" ”
"Report!" Liu Wei's voice fell, and a junior colonel walked inside and knelt on the ground, "Along the way, the Malay newspaper was discovered, and a large group of enemy soldiers were found in the west and north of Beihai County at the same time!" ”
Liu Wei exchanged words with Cheng Yu, took a deep breath, and said in a condensed voice: "How many people are there?" ”
The little colonel said: "There are at least 20,000 soldiers and horses in the west, and about 30,000 soldiers and horses in the north!" ”
"Huh!?" Liu Wei shifted his gaze to the map spread on the table, and said in a deep voice: "According to Guan Cheng's intelligence, Guan Hai has gathered at least a hundred thousand people, so these people are definitely not Guan Hai and Bu Ji's people!" ”
"If it weren't for Guan Hai and Bu Ji, it would be a small group of thieves scattered all over the place!" A trace of anger flashed in Cheng Yu's eyes: "A small group of thieves dared to come to attack Beihai County, it seems that the number of people killed by General Qu A last time was not enough, not enough to deter this group of Xiaoxiao!" ”
Liu Wei narrowed his eyes slightly, Guan Hai gathered more than 100,000 horses, plus Bu Ji's army, it must not be underestimated, you must know that this is a veteran of a hundred battles entrenched in Qingzhou County, in this environment of the jungle, a force similar to Que Xuan has been squeezed out of Qingzhou.
As for the thieves in Beihai County, most of them are small forces scattered on various hills, only Guan Hai and Bu Ji really represent the strength of the Yellow Turban thieves in Qingzhou County, no matter how many thieves are exterminated, as long as these two people are not eliminated, it must not be said that they really control Qingzhou.
It's just that at present, there are only 5,000 elites and 2,000 archers he brought, relying on these 7,000 people can never be the opponent of Guan Hai and Buji, and the rest are 40,000 county soldiers of the Northern Army, of course, the combat effectiveness of these county soldiers is much weaker, and it may be okay to stay in the city to defend the city, but it is impossible for Xiang to defeat these Yellow Turban soldiers with them.
And the only thing left is the Yellow Turban that the Black Bull and they have sent one after another, but the training time of these people is still short, and I don't know if they can take on the heavy responsibility in a hurry!
"Report!" Qu A, who was dressed in dark iron armor, strode in from the outside and saluted Liu Weisheng, Qu A, who was originally fairer-skinned, accompanied the yellow scarf soldiers to the scorching sun every day these days, and his skin was dark and dark.
"Qu'a, has the grain and grass escorted by Huang Shiren ever been put into storage?" When Liu Wei saw Qu A, he suddenly remembered that although Huang Shiren offered 100,000 stones of grain and grass last time, due to the inconvenience of the road, it was divided into two transportations, and the 60,000 stones he personally escorted had been put into storage, and the remaining 40,000 stones, calculated that the time should have come!
"All 40,000 quintals of grain and grass have been put into storage!" Qu A bowed, Huang Shiren sent someone to escort the grain and grass, and was attacked by thieves on the way, it was he who received the information of the horse exploration, and led the forty Xiliang cavalry who came back from the task to gallop day and night to rescue, fortunately, the people sent by Huang Shiren were not straw bales, although many people died when they arrived, the grain and grass were worry-free.
Liu Wei bowed his head slightly, although Qu A's loyalty to the eldest princess of Yang'an on the attribute panel is high, but his loyalty to him is not low, he estimates that as long as he does not conflict with this imperial aunt, Qu Ah can definitely use it with confidence.
"How is the training of the army sent by the black bull? Do you have the strength to fight the enemy? Liu Wei looked at Qu A with a solemn expression, wanting to defeat the thief soldiers of Guan Hai and Bu Ji, but it was far from enough to rely on the elite troops he brought, and the main force of the battle was still these surrendered troops, which was also the premise of Cheng Yu's plan to occupy Qingzhou.
"It's no problem to deal with ordinary Yellow Turban bandits, but Guan Hai and Bu Ji, the top thieves in Qingzhou, are veterans of a hundred battles, whether it is personal combat effectiveness or cooperation between armies, they have experienced multiple baptisms of war, if they are faced now, they can only guarantee the strength of a battle!" Qu A is responsible for all the training of the Yellow Turban Thief Soldiers, and he knows it well in his heart based on his combat effectiveness, and he can only guarantee the strength of a battle, but he does not dare to guarantee victory.
"Only one battle?" Liu Wei frowned slightly, stared at Qu A with a solemn gaze, and said in a condensed voice: "In the future, they must be the main force, so it is absolutely not advisable to only have the strength of a battle!" No matter what method you use, you must only train an iron army in a month! ”
"This..."Qu A's face showed a look of embarrassment, although these soldiers said that they had also experienced the baptism of war and survived the veterans, but they trained to become elite in a month, which is not difficult for some strong people at all!
"This is a military order!" Liu Wei categorically interrupted Qu A's words, looked at Qu A, who was embarrassed, patted him on the shoulder, and said in a deep tone: "Guan Cheng has already sent news that Guan Hai summoned the thieves in Qingzhou to form a coalition to target Beihai County, and Bu Ji is the same, relying on the elite of our army, it is impossible to confront an army of more than 100,000, so the survival of Beihai County depends on whether you can train these soldiers in a month!" ”
"But you don't have to be embarrassed, Lone will find a way to hand you a batch of fine equipment. If these people are not able to match the enemy's combat effectiveness with their sophisticated equipment, then we will have to retreat to Hanoi from scratch! Liu Wei said to Qu A with a solemn face.
As for the equipment for surrendering troops, it is naturally impossible to be as sophisticated as the Baibo Army, such equipment is too expensive, so it can only be exchanged for Han standard equipment from the system, but even so, the equipment produced by the system is definitely much better than the existing equipment of the princes from all walks of life, and although the Qingzhou Yellow Turban thieves are fierce, don't forget that Qingzhou is very poor under their back and forth, so their equipment will not be too sophisticated, let alone too complete.
"The last general will not fail in his mission!" Qu A said solemnly, he is now thinking that if there is excellent equipment, coupled with the same training method as the Baibo army, and these soldiers are veterans, the three conditions are combined, and after a month, the combat power of these people should be on par with the forces of Guan Hai and Buji.
On the other hand, Black Bull, Yang Feng, Han Kui and others slowly devoured He Man's power with strategies, and although He Man has good martial arts, he is at most at the peak of the third rate, and Black Bull may not be his opponent, but after Yang Feng joined the melee, He Man and his subordinates are obviously not opponents.
At this time, He Man was shot in the back by the black bull, and the huge force made He Man almost fall to the ground, stumbling a step, stabilizing his body, but his chest was stuffy, so that he couldn't help opening his mouth to protrude a mouthful of blood, with his own feelings, just now the ribs were smashed a few times, and now he was shot hard, and his internal organs hurt deeply.
In fact, to say that He Man's ability is not bad, although he is a little reckless, but he is also one of the top forces in Beihai County, if it weren't for the second master's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, he would not have lost so quickly, but Rao is so, after all, the little minions in the cottage have followed him for many years, coupled with his good command attributes, he quickly saved the situation.
In addition, the surrender of troops under the command of Hei Niu was originally a combination of various forces, and there was no cooperation at all, and He Man, who had recovered the situation, had even begun to change from passive to active, but the bad thing was that Han Kui quickly turned back from the cottage and joined the battlefield.
Moreover, Yang was ordered to shout loudly on the side that surrender would not be killed, that the prisoners would be treated preferentially, and that anyone who killed He Man's head would be rewarded with a thousand gold, and that the fighting spirit of He Man's army was slowly disintegrated, and on the other side, these surrendered soldiers who participated in the battle were supervised by the supervision team composed of the Baibo army, but anyone who retreated, they were all killed, and they were all ruthlessly killed by He Man's army.
The current He Man can't believe it, these people under his command are all Yellow Turban veterans who followed him in the early years, and the combat effectiveness of the bandit army brought out by these veterans is close to the regular army of the Han Dynasty, and these thieves who fought with him also look like the Yellow Turban Bandit Army, and the combat effectiveness of these thieves who fought with him cannot be compared with his subordinates at all, but he was defeated by the ferocity of not wanting to die.
To be honest, since participating in the Yellow Turban Uprising, I don't know how many battles I have experienced, I have fought with the regular army of the Han Dynasty, retreated to Qingzhou and fought with the former Paoze, there have been defeats and victories, but I have never seen this kind of team playing with life.
What kind of person is the most terrible, that is, don't die, often you cut him, the result is that he is unconscious, at the moment when you haven't reacted, a bloody rusty knife slashed towards your head, the result is that two people died together, and even more people who played with their lives were stabbed, not only hacked to death, but they could kill several people with their broken hands, until several people worked together to kill him, and the three big men in front of him were leading such a group of guys who played with their lives.
He Man really wants to know who these people are now, but the situation no longer allows him to think about it, shouts such as preferential treatment of prisoners are still constantly entering the battlefield, and on the other side is a group of crazy people playing with you, although he thinks that the commander is very capable and his subordinates are loyal enough, but under this shameless tactics, he does not dare to trust the former robe, just now a little minion leaned over, and was cut down by a madman.
Although I don't know what the little minion has in mind, He Man has decided to break through now, break through part of the encirclement, and then gather the soldiers with the help of the soldiers to break through from the weakest of the other party, as for the life or death of the second master and the rest of the people, he can't care about it now!
It's just a pity that Hei Niu and the others didn't give him a chance at all, and the three of them joined forces to surround it, and they didn't need to kill him, but they slowly consumed his strength, and finally when he ran out of energy, another spear smashed up, and this time He Man fell to the ground fiercely!
"Hehe, if it weren't for the fact that this guy has a good martial arts, how can he live until now!" The black bull kicked He Man who fell to the ground fiercely, turned his head and ordered his soldiers to tie him up, and then said to Yang Feng and Han Kui: "The thieves in Beihai County have basically been eliminated, and our task is completed!" ”
At this time, with the arrest of He Man on the battlefield, the minions of the cottage slowly gave up resistance, and began to surrender one by one, Yang Feng collected the weapons of these people, turned over his horse, and looked back and said: "The task has been completed, His Highness has also sent someone to deliver the message, let's hurry up to Beihai City!" ”
"What General Yang said is very true!" Hei Niu and Han Kui turned on their horses, escorted the troops, and galloped all the way to Beihai County!
