Chapter 412: Zang Ba's Life is Bitter, Guo Yuan is the head
Zhang Shiping told the general He Xian what happened in the Hero Building, and He Xian was quite surprised after hearing it, he didn't expect that Mrs. Mi, who was unknown in history, was such a bold woman.
Brother Zhang secretly helped the dot, Mi Zhu sent this little sister to the Nanyang Army, and the general also had the obligation to take care of it. If she can't complete the task of supplying, remember to arrange for other big merchants to go on top in time, and don't let the military rations go wrong. He Xian admonished.
"Don't worry, the little lady is fine!" Zhang Shiping said with a smile, "She didn't want to eat alone, and after she got the share, she began to peddle." Making money is one aspect, and the other is that she seems to want to use this opportunity to build relationships with the big businessmen in the states. β
"The risk is borne by the Mi family, and the benefits are shared by everyone, who doesn't want to do such a business? But all this must be based on the victory of the Nanyang Army, otherwise the risk of the Mi clan will be great! β
"Yes, the master said! This Mi Zhen is really very confident in the general! β
"Who are you talking about?" Guo Jia took a battle report and hurried to He Xian's study.
"It's okay! The matter of military rations has already been taken over by the merchant group! The army is ready and ready to be pulled out at any time! He Xian motioned for Zhang Shiping to go down. Zhang Shiping bowed and retired.
"The first batch of military rations doesn't need to be sent to Puyang! Let's be diverted and sent directly to Beihai! β
He Xian looked at Guo Jia with a surprised face, not understanding what the reason was.
"Three days ago, Wen He led 30,000 floating chacha troops to Dunqiu and attacked Liyang!"
"He can't have hijacked the military rations of Danyang's soldiers, right?"
"It's not hijacking, but it's not much different!" Guo Jia smiled bitterly, "The Lord Commander and the Governor's Northern Front, he naturally has the power to allocate military rations!" β
After listening to Guo Jia's explanation, He Xian also smiled bitterly. If Jia Xu can cut first and then play, he will not hesitate to offend Zang Ba and his Danyang soldiers to grab grain and grass, and enter Jizhou, it must be an excellent fighter!
"It's just that it's hard for Zang Ba. Thanks to Zang Ba's prestige in Xuzhou and Qingzhou, he raised some grain and grass on the spot, so that he would not roar. But the lord also had to organize a caravan as soon as possible to send the first batch of military rations to the Northern Navy camp first. Guo Jia continued.
"Understood, inform Zhang Shiping, let the caravan place to raise the first batch of grain in Qingzhou, and send as much as it raises to the Beihai camp until 100,000 Hu is delivered! The second batch of 100,000 Hu tasks was also released, and the grain collection location was at Guandu Port, and it was time for the general to go! β
Guo Jia nodded, and then asked, "Which army is the lord going to take with him on this expedition?" β
"Do you have any good advice from Bonghyo?" He Xian asked.
"The Nanyang Army under the command of Wen Ping suffered heavy losses last time, and it is recommended to take Bei Zhonglang to go out to the trap camp of Gao Shun this time." Guo Jia said.
He Xian nodded and said, "That's what I mean!" β
In June of the second year of Jian'an (197 AD), Jia Xu, the general of the military division and the assassin of Yanzhou, took advantage of the battle between Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan between the rivers, and suddenly marched into Jizhou and attacked Liyang. The one who guarded Liyang was Yuan Shang's general Guo Yuan. Jia Xu ordered Wei Yan to lead 3,000 people, disguised as Cao's army, to Liyang City to deliver grain. Guo Yuan underestimated the enemy, but he didn't know what to do, and was led by Wei Yan to capture the east gate. Wei Yan released the cloud-piercing arrow, and Jia Xu, who was lurking three miles outside Liyang City, immediately led a large army to Liyang City!
Guo Yuan didn't have time to mobilize the 20,000 Jizhou soldiers in the city, so he could only gather 3,000 personal soldiers to recapture the city gate.
After Wei Yan and the three thousand floating chacha elites captured the city gate, they used the city gate as a stronghold, quickly built a simple defense, and put out a defensive formation, with a clear goal, that is, to hold on and wait for reinforcements.
Guo Yuan relied on his good military force and charged forward, wanting to use his personal bravery to break through the elite defense line of Fucha. But how could Wei Yan let him run rampant. After arranging the formation, Wei Yan held a red blood knife against Guo *** and fought for less than twenty rounds, Guo Yuan was not very slashed by Wei Yan and fell off the horse, Guo Yuan's personal guards did not have time to rescue, and a floating chariot sergeant holding a repeater pulled the trigger. Guo Yuan, who was smashed, had not yet reacted, and there were three or four more crossbow arrows on his body, one of which was right in the faΓ§ade of Guo Yuan. The red blood and white brains flowed down the arrow, and Guo Yuan fell to the ground with a bang. After the guards carried Guo Yuan out of the battlefield, they found that Guo Yuan had long since lost his life, and his body began to be cold and stiff.
After Guo Yuan's death, the morale of the Liyang defenders was even lower, and they were even more powerless to recapture the city gates. Jia Xu led the main force of the Fucha army to drive straight along the Liyang City Gate. The defenders of Liyang couldn't escape if they wanted to, because Jia Xu ordered people to block the other three gates, so that the news of Liyang's capture would spread. Jia Xu is ready to fight a blitzkrieg!
The defenders of Liyang suffered thousands of casualties, and the remaining more than 10,000 people all surrendered, and the city of Liyang fell in battle. The cost of the Fucha army was nothing more than hundreds of casualties.
After capturing Liyang, Jia Xu ordered more than 10,000 prisoners of war to be put in prison and waited for their fate. Only a school of 1,000 people was left to guard Liyang, and he didn't even have time to clean the battlefield, so he led the main force straight to Yecheng. Jia Xu repeated his old trick and ordered Wei Yan to lead 3,000 Fucha soldiers disguised as soldiers from Liyang for help, wanting to trick the defenders of Yecheng out of the city.
It's a pity that Yecheng is not Liyang, and the military commander who guards Yecheng is the chief general of the first dead soldiers, but Yecheng really has the right to decide is the governor of Ji.
"Who is under the city, and report his name?"
As soon as Wei Yan's disguised 3,000 Liyang reinforcements appeared in the field of vision of the Yecheng defenders, the Yecheng defenders sounded the horn of the enemy's attack. Lu Yi's ability to govern the army is much stricter than Guo Yuan's, and some soldiers have already run to inform Lu Yi, and Lu Yi ordered someone to notify the trial.
Wei Yan hurriedly said: "The general opens the city gate quickly, and the last general is Guo Yan, the junior colonel under General Guo Yuan." β
Who Guo Yan is, Lu Yi doesn't know, but who Guo Yuan is, Lu Yi is still clear.
"Why are you not guarding Liyang Town, why are you coming to Yecheng?" Lu Yi scolded.
"The Nanyang army is coming, and General Guo ordered the young general to come and ask for help!" Wei Yan said according to the words prepared in advance.
Lu Yi was shocked when he heard this: "How many men and horses are there in the enemy army?" β
Wei Yan: "The vanguard army has 30,000 cavalry, and the leader of the troops is Yanzhou Assassin Shi Jia Xu!" β
"Thirty thousand?" If there were only 30,000 horses, Guo Yuan might be able to hold on for a while, after all, Liyang's defenders also had 20,000, and Lu Yi secretly calculated in his heart.
"General, please send troops to rescue my general! If it's late, my general will ......" Wei Yan saw that Lu Yi refused to be fooled, so he hurriedly put pressure on him.
"What nonsense! Is it child's play to send out a large army? I will have to tell the lord before I can decide! After speaking, Lu Yi turned his head and prepared to leave. said that he wanted to tell the lord, but in fact, Lu Yi wanted to find a judge to discuss countermeasures. Liyang is the southern barrier of Yecheng, if Liyang is, the Nanyang army can drive straight in, directly threatening the safety of Yecheng.
