"In my opinion, what should we do now?" Cai Mao asked.

Kuai Yue pondered for a moment and said: "At this time, since our army and the princes are united in one place, there is a situation in the grain and grass, Cao Cao and others will definitely not stand idly by, send cavalry to destroy the cavalry wandering on the battlefield, and at the same time ask the princes for help, our army's grain and grass is only enough for ten days, and the next time Jingzhou's grain and grass will be transported at least half a month." ”

The situation in Keiguan is not much better than that of Huguan, although there are tens of thousands of defenders in Jiguan, but in defense, it is more frequent than Huguan, the soldiers of each department of Huguan can be rotated when defending the army of princes, and the defenders in Jiguan are only two groups, Jingzhou Army attacks Jiguan day and night, which means that two groups of soldiers and horses are constantly rotated, except for the two thousand soldiers and horses used for maneuvering, each time the real participation in the defense of the state army is only 4,000 people.

If the battle situation is protracted, it will be even more unfavorable for Keiki.

Xu Chu led 3,000 princes' cavalry, quietly entered Jizhou, and followed the road pointed out by Yuan Shao towards Jinyang, the road along the way was rugged, and many cavalry were even lost on the way forward.

Looking at the village not far away, a smile appeared on the corner of Xu Chu's mouth, a hundred dense and sparse, it is impossible to be all-encompassing in defense, and the territory of Bingzhou is vast, as long as three thousand cavalry are allowed to enter it, what will follow is the turmoil of the entire state.

Just like Huang Zhong led the cavalry on the battlefield in Hanoi, it was difficult to catch the traces of the cavalry, the purpose of this cavalry entering Bingzhou was to sabotage and cause turmoil to Bingzhou as much as possible.

Liujiazhuang, is a village more than 40 miles away from Jinyang, the people in the village do not worry about food and clothing, and now the people of Bingzhou everyone have land, as long as they are diligent in their hands and feet, they will not worry about hunger, and the surplus things can also go to Jinyang to sell and subsidize some households.

The older generation in Liujiazhuang is extremely grateful to the Governor of Bingzhou, if it were not for everything that Lu Bu implemented in Bingzhou, they might have died in the war, and in ordinary times they taught more of the younger generations in the family to contribute to Bingzhou when they grow up.

At this time, in the village, there are more old and weak and women and children, as long as there is a strong young man, will not be willing to stay in the village, as long as he finds a job in Jinyang, he can have a surplus in a year, and it is unimaginable to put this situation in the past.

"Huzi, when you grow up, you will be like your brother, join the Bingzhou army, protect the people of Bingzhou, and serve the Marquis of Jin." An old man said with a smile at the entrance of the village.

"Why do you want to serve the Marquis of Jin?" Maybe it was because he had heard too many words like this, and Huzi had some doubts in his heart.

The old man's face suddenly became a little gloomy, "Don't say such words in front of people in the future, if there was no Marquis of Jin in Liujiazhuang, it would have ceased to exist under the attack of the nearby thieves, and it was the Bingzhou army that rescued your parents from the hands of the thieves, so your brother went to the army without hesitation, it is said that he is now a school captain, in the blink of an eye, many young people in the village have joined the army, and when you grow up, you must also learn from them." ”

The children surrounding the old man suddenly chirped to express their hearts, and the old man kept laughing.

Suddenly, the old man saw the billowing dust and smoke on the road to the west of the village, and after a moment of contemplation, his face changed greatly, and he shouted, "Hurry up and enter the village." ”

The gong sounded in the village, and many women and children ran out of their homes with sticks in hand, and the people of the state were fierce, even if they were ordinary women, they were bloody, and the young and strong were not at home, and more often they were ploughed by women and children in the fields, perhaps in other states and counties This is an incredible thing, but under the advocacy of Lu Bu, as long as there are people with skills, even if they are women, they can also find a good job in Jinyang, such as the cloth workshop in Jinyang, all of which are women, They earn a lot more money in a day than they do in the young.

Because there were thieves in the vicinity of Liujiazhuang, in order to prevent the resurgence of these thieves, the generals of the state army responsible for exterminating the thieves handed over to the people of Liujiazhuang how to deal with the unexpected situation.

"Hu Da, you are a wanderer in the village, these people are menacing, but there is no cavalry of the Bingzhou army here recently, you rush to Jinyang as fast as possible and inform the defenders in the city."

Hu Da also knew the danger of the situation, and hurriedly said: "The children try to hide as much as possible, if these people are thieves, they need to pay them for food and grass." ”

After speaking, Hu Da rode the only slightly thin horse in the village and galloped in the direction of Jinyang.

"General, the situation in this village ahead is not small, listening to the movement in the village, I am afraid that we have already been discovered." Adjutant General Liang Wudao.

Xu Chu said with a smile: "What can you do if you find out about our army, you take someone to catch a few people and come over to find out about the situation here, General Huang led a hundred cavalry to prevent the people in the village from escaping." ”

Huang Gai did not dare to slack off when he heard this, this was a deep battle in the territory of the state, and the slightest negligence could lead to the annihilation of the whole army, and this result was not what the Jiangdong Army was willing to see.

A moment later, several women who were constantly struggling appeared on the horses of Liang Wu and the others.

Xu Chu frowned slightly, although this was in the territory of the enemy army, it would make people feel uncomfortable after all.

Perhaps seeing the thoughts in Xu Chu's heart, Liang Wudao: "The village is basically full of women and children, the old and weak. ”

"How far is this from Jinyang?" Xu Chu said coldly.

When a woman saw the cavalrymen's attire, she shouted: "Don't tell these people that they are thieves and enemies. ”

Hearing this, a tiger and leopard rider beside him stabbed the spear in his hand at the woman without hesitation.

Xu Chu glanced coldly at the other women who were slightly pale because of panic and said, "How far is it from Jinyang here?" ”

"Xiang, four to the west, forty miles is, it is Jinyang." A woman said with a trembling voice.

Xu Chu showed a satisfied smile, and then made a head-killing action to the cavalry next to him, since he was deep behind enemy lines, he could not treat these people with the slightest mercy, and wipe out any possibility of leaking traces, so as to facilitate his actions on the battlefield.

After receiving useful information, Xu Chu waved the long knife in his hand forward, and hundreds of tigers and leopards rode towards the surroundings of the village, and a moment later there were screams in the village.

A group of cavalry headed in the direction of Jinyang, and Liujiazhuang, which was originally a little lively, became quiet and gradually fell into silence.

It's the last day of the double monthly pass, so remember to support those who have a monthly pass!
