Chapter 183 Lay a net to wait for the enemy
Early the next morning, before the meeting began, the messengers of Liu Zheng, the Taishou of Youbeiping County, and Guo Xun, the assassin of Youzhou, arrived first. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Taishou Liu Zheng was frightened, and in the letter he hoped that Gao Shun would send troops to Tuyin City to help resist the attack of the Wuhuan people, and the baggage and salaries required by the troops would all be borne by Youbeiping County.
In the letter, Guo Xun and Liu Wei, the Taishou of Guangyang, hoped that Gao Shun would send troops to Guangyang County to assist in guarding Jixian County, and also promised that Guangyang County would bear the grain and grass.
When Gao Shun saw the letter, he was overjoyed, and immediately replied to the letter and asked the two messengers to bring it back, and he promised in the letter that he could send troops to fight against the Wuhuan cavalry.
With the invitation letter, he doesn't have to worry about the teacher's namelessness.
He thought to himself, now there are more than 20,000 troops stationed in Julu County, which is really too eye-catching, in case it causes the emperor's dissatisfaction, it will have the opposite effect, just to transfer some officers and soldiers to the military camp of Guangyang County to station, but also reduce consumption, and can better assist Shanggu County and Dai County nearby.
So he called Li Qiang to negotiate and prepared to send Li Qiang to lead 30 cavalry, Yan Liang, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to lead 8 cavalry each, and then stationed in the Guangyang County military camp.
After hearing this, Li Qiang shook his head and objected: "Lord, no, in this case, only Zhang Meng and Zhou Cang are left by your side, I don't worry." ”
"Do you have any better ideas?"
After thinking about it carefully, Li Qiang suggested: "Lord, I suggest that I stay; Wen Chou took the officers and soldiers of the headquarters to Guangyang County to station, Yan Liang and Zhang Meng went to Tuyuan to station, Zhang Fei went to Xu Wu to station, and Guan Yu went to Feiru County to station; Divide the three of them into 3 places, no matter which direction the Wuhuan cavalry comes from, they can quickly surround them, and I hope that after the war, several of them will be promoted to other Simas by virtue of their military exploits, and they can lead the troops independently in the future; In winter, it is difficult to move, so less infantry and more cavalry. ”
"Then Zhao Fu, Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang will have no chance to make meritorious contributions."
"This time, leave Zhou Cang behind, Zhao Fu will go out with Zhang Fei, and Pei Yuanshao will go out with Guan Yu, so it will be safer."
Gao Shun asked again: "Will this be too scattered?" ”
"Haha, lord, this is just a good way to exercise the command ability of the three people, and don't let them suffer a little, how can they grow up? Do we have to be involved in every war? ”
"Okay, immediately gather everyone to come and discuss the matter." Gao Shun thought to himself, not only to exercise the command ability of the three people, but also to exercise the cooperation and coordination of the three people.
As soon as they heard that there was going to be a war, everyone was very enthusiastic and had been waiting outside the door for a long time, and Li Qiang immediately summoned everyone to enter the lobby.
After sitting down and seeing everyone's happy looks, Gao Shun said: "Don't be happy too early, whether the Wuhuan people dare to come, it's not sure now, if they don't come, it will be regarded as training." ”
Wen Chou smiled: "Lord, it doesn't matter, even if it is training, it is better than staying in the barracks." ”
Zhang Fei said: "Lord, this Yellow Turban Army really can't help fighting, I haven't enjoyed it, and finally I have a stronger one, just to train the soldiers." ”
Everyone agreed.
The expressions on the faces of Zhang Meng and the others were very unnatural.
Gao Shun announced: "This time the troops are divided into three routes, the first way, Guan Yu and Zhou Cang led the people of the headquarters and stationed in Tuyin City, Beiping County, Youbeiping, with Guan Yu as the main general and Zhou Cang as the deputy general. ”
"Yes, my lord!" The two replied excitedly.
"On the second road, Yan Liang and Pei Yuanshao led the people of the headquarters and stationed in Feirucheng, Liaoxi County, with Guan Yu as the main general and Pei Yuanshao as the deputy general."
"Yes, my lord!"
Zhang Fei was anxious and hurriedly asked, "Lord, who did Fei go all the way with?" ”
"Haha, seeing that you are in a hurry, with your quick temper, I really dare not arrange for you to send troops alone."
"Don't, lord, Fei has changed a lot now."
"Well, give you a chance, you have to behave well, think more about things, and be cautious when encountering things, otherwise you won't be allowed to lead the troops alone in the future."
"Yes, my lord, Fei must remember the teachings of my lord and think more."
Gao Shun continued to announce: "On the third road, Zhang Fei and Zhao Fu led the men and horses of the headquarters to Xu Wuxian to station, with Zhang Fei as the main general and Zhao Fu as the deputy general. ”
"Yes, my lord." The two were overjoyed.
The reason why Gao Shun adjusted like this was that he hoped that Guan Yu and Zhou Cang would form a pair of intimate partners in the future.
Zhang Fei asked: "Lord, when you fly to Xu Wucheng, will you fly to listen to Captain Zhang's command or Captain Zhang to listen to Fei's command?" ”
Gao Shun said: "You and Yun Chang are in charge of the command, and I will write letters to Zhang He and Zou Jing respectively in a while, and you can take them; Prepare immediately after the adjournment and leave early tomorrow morning. ”
"Yes, my lord."
Gao Shun arranged again: "This time, there will be a maximum of 5,000 Wuhuan cavalry, and you will have a total of 55 cavalry, as well as more than 3,000 infantry; If you win, the battle merits will be attributed to the Taishou of Youbeiping County and the Taishou of Liaoxi County, as well as Zhang He and Zou Jing, and I will reward you all after you come back; If the battle is defeated, the responsibility will be borne by the three of you; Therefore, the three of you must cooperate well, I don't want to annihilate the Wuhuan cavalry, I only want to behead Qiu Liju is the first merit, and after you come back, you can be promoted to Sima of other departments. ”
Gao Shun arranged this way in order to support Zhang He and Zou Jing to develop independently as court officials, and not to be labeled as the Captain of Wuhuan's Mansion and to exist as a hidden military force for him.
As for the fact that there is no chief general among the three, I mainly want to see if the three can cooperate closely and whether they can focus on the overall situation.
"Yes, my lord!"
"Wen Chou led the officers and soldiers of the headquarters to set off the day after tomorrow and go to Guangyang County to station, as long as the Wuhuan cavalry does not enter Yuyang County or Guangyang County, they will not move."
"Yes, my lord."
Gao Shun also ordered: "If the enemy rushes through Youbeiping County and enters Yuyang County or Guangyang County, all the troops will accept the command of Wen Chou, carry out unified deployment, encircle and suppress Qiu Liju, and must not allow it to enter the territory of Jizhou." ”
"Yes, my lord." Wen Chou is Sima of other departments, and his official position is higher than everyone's, and everyone has no opinion.
Only Zhang Meng was unhappy and said: "Lord, I will still lead the cavalry in the future, there is no chance to go out with the infantry." ”
Gao Shun thought to himself that he would start attacking Xianbei next year, and he needed a larger cavalry to come, so he said: "Okay, if you are willing to lead the cavalry, then transfer 5 cavalry from Meng Wen first, train well, and go on the expedition after the year; The 12 infantry you brought with you returned to the jurisdiction of Meng Wen. ”
"Yes, my lord." Zhang Meng was glad that Gao Shun would accept his application.
The next day, Zhang Fei and Yan Liang led the cavalry to set off first.
Guan Yu and Zhou Cang, due to the drag of the infantry, lagged behind, and their speed was much slower.
On the third day, September 20, Wen Chou and Cheng Huan led the army to set off, and the speed was about the same as Guan Yu's.
The army was dispatched, and the news of the invasion of the Wuhuan people was also leaked, but it did not cause panic among the people, in their opinion, there are so many troops here, and it is absolutely safe to protect Jizhou.
Liu Zheng, the Taishou of Beiping County, was very happy that Gao Shun had sent so many reinforcements, as long as the Wuhuan people in Liaoxi dared to come, the officials and troops of the three cities decided to surround and annihilate them, which was also a great achievement for him.
Assassin Shi Guo Xun felt that the reinforcements of Guangyang County were too weak, but Wen Chou explained: "Guo Assassin History, my prince has already sent 3,500 cavalry and 1,200 infantry to Youbeiping County, and it is difficult for the war to spread here, and strive to destroy the enemy in Youbeiping County, here is just prepared." ”
Guo Xun was very satisfied with Gao Shun's arrangement, which could reduce the damage of the Wuhuan cavalry to Youzhou.
And Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others are busy with the city defense, just waiting for the Wuhuan people to arrive, they can kill the enemy without worries.
