Chapter 413 Lu Yi is not in the right way, Xu Chu leads the guards
"Gotcha! How can the enemy not be fooled? Seeing that Lu Yi refused to fall for the plan, Wei Yan had an idea and decided to modify the plan and follow Liyang's model to sneak attack the city gate.
"General, slow! I don't know if I can let the young general enter the city to rest, drink saliva, and eat some food! Wei Yan begged.
"No!" Lu Yi refused, "If you retreat three miles, you can camp outside the city, and you will order someone to send Qingshui military rations!" ”
Wei Yan looked at the towering Yecheng city wall. After Yuan Shao's years of operation, the city walls of Yecheng have been continuously strengthened and heightened, even if it is called the first city north of the Yellow River. Wei Yanruo wanted to rely on the more than 3,000 people under his command to carefully attack...... That's absolutely wishful thinking.
Wei Yan shook his head, and could only follow Lu Yi's request, retreat three miles, and stationed on the periphery of Yecheng. At the same time, Wei Yan quickly informed Jia Xu that the plan to surprise attack Yecheng had failed.
Jia Xu was not surprised to learn the news, it was normal for Yecheng to be heavily guarded as the Yuan family's lair, how could he go down with a drum like Liyang.
"Inform Wei Yan to play the banner of the general He Xian, set up more camp tents, create the illusion that the army is coming, and deter the defenders in the city from acting rashly! At the same time, send all the rangers to block the periphery of Yecheng and isolate the news as much as possible! After Jia Xu replied to Wei Yan's personal soldiers, he personally wrote a letter, ordering 100,000 guards to be sent to He Xian's Chinese army camp urgently, urging the main force led by He Xian to march quickly and attack Yecheng together.
At this time, He Xian had just led Zhang Liao and Tai Shici's 10,000 flying cavalry troops to Liyang City.
After getting the news of Jia Xu's troops, He Xian did not hesitate, and ordered 30,000 soldiers and horses to go straight to Guandu. There are still about 80,000 soldiers in Nanyang, but the grain and grass can only supply 30,000 soldiers and horses. 30,000 is already the limit of the grain and grass that Guo Jia can raise on the basis of destroying the people's livelihood in Nanyang. 10,000 flying cavalry troops, 20,000 trapped camps, plus Wei Yan's 30,000 floating chacha troops, a total of 60,000 people. It's not more, it's fine. As long as the tactics are used properly, He Xian believes that the Yuan army, the Cao army, and the Lu Bu army can be defeated.
In order to speed up the march, He Xian led 10,000 flying cavalry to cross the river first and go to Liyang City. Gao Shun's 20,000 trapping camp was mainly based on foot soldiers, so he followed with grain and grass. Zhang He led the Jizhou soldiers to surrender to the Nanyang Army in the Battle of Zhongmu and was worshiped as the general of the Dian Army. In this expedition, none of the 20,000 Jizhou soldiers who surrendered participated. Most of them were sent to Tuntian after being laid off, and only a small part were supplemented as soldiers under the command of Wenpin, who suffered heavy losses. And Zhang He, who was adjusted to the deputy general of Gao Shun's camp, went out with the army.
Zhao Yun did not accompany him due to "illness", and the head of the guard camp will be replaced by Xu Chu, a native of Qiaoxian County!
During Cheng Yu's tenure as the assassin of Yuzhou, he heard that there was a person in Xu Village, a suburban county, surnamed Xu Mingchu, the word Zhongkang, more than eight feet long, ten girths around the waist, majestic appearance, and peerless bravery. During the rampant Yellow Turban Thieves in Yuzhou, Xu Chu gathered thousands of families in the surrounding villages, fortified himself, guarded his neighbors, and his reputation spread throughout the land of Huai, Ru, Chen, and Liang. Xu Chu originally planned to go to Yanzhou to join his fellow countryman Cao Cao, but Yuzhou was occupied by the Nanyang army and the road was cut off, so he stayed in his hometown. After Cheng Yu understood Xu Chu's situation, he personally visited Xu Village and promised him as a school captain. Xu Chu was moved by Cheng Yu's sincerity and promised to serve the Nanyang Army and lead the troops for Cheng Yu to clear the bandits in Yuzhou.
Cheng Yu, as one of He Xian's henchmen and strategists, was well-informed, and after seeing Xu Chu's martial arts and ability to command troops, he immediately realized that this was a rare fierce general. Therefore, while recommending Lu Su and others, Xu Chu was also recommended. After He Xian saw Xu Chu's name, he was overjoyed, and immediately worshiped Xu Chu as the captain of Jianzhong and the deputy general of the personal guard battalion. After Zhao Yun stayed in Wancheng due to "illness", he was responsible for the task of He Xian's safety, and handed it over to Xu Chu to be responsible.
Of course, the special operations squad led by He Qian is a special case. He Qian has now received the rank of Zhonglang General, and there are still only eighty-eight members of the team under his command. But in these eighty-eight middle schools, there are more than ten team members with the rank of captain, and more than 50 team members with the rank of general or above, which is an absolute meritorious team! If needed, these eighty-eight people can directly absorb 30,000 ordinary soldiers and form an independent army!
After He Xian led the Flying Cavalry and the Guards Battalion to Liyang City, he found that the Yanzhou Wei Clan Caravan and the Xuzhou Mi Clan Caravan had actually arrived in Liyang and were assisting the Fucha soldiers in cleaning up the battlefield. The power of money is enormous!
Mi Zhen and Wei Hong saw the banner of the word "He" flying, and hurriedly ordered the workers of the caravan to stop their work and stand respectfully on the side of the road to greet the army.
He Xian ordered Zhang Liao to lead the army to camp outside Liyang City, ready to rest for a day. He led the guard battalion into the city, and summoned Mi Zhen and Wei Hong in the county mansion.
"Two, how did you harvest the spoils of the Battle of Liyang?" He Xian held a cup of hot tea and asked the two with a smile.
"When the general goes out, will there be a loss-making deal?" Mi Zhen said playfully.
Mi Zhen is a typical southern woman with a petite figure and fair skin. In terms of appearance, it is not as charming as Zhen Yu, not as dignified as Huang Yueying, and not as cute as Xiaoqiao, but Mi Zhen has her own temperament: self-confidence! Mi Zhen is very confident! Exposure to business warfare since she was a child has allowed her to develop a decisive spirit. Weak on the outside, strong on the inside, that's how she is a woman!
"You daring! The future will not be under your brother! He Xian praised.
"My brother said that Xiaozhen's current ability is not inferior to him!" Mi Zhen was not modest, and her upright words made Wei Hong on the side tremble. Although He Xian is quite virtuous and does not like to kill, after all, he is a general who leads the world's soldiers and horses, and it is too simple to kill a businessman if he is unhappy.
He Xian laughed, and then asked Wei Hong, "What does Mr. Wei think?" You didn't lose money on this trip, did you? ”
"No loss, no loss!" Wei Hong hurriedly replied with a smile: "Thanks to the general's blessing, although the first batch of 100,000 grains of grain and grass is a little difficult, not only did it not lose money, but it also made a lot of profits. According to the rough estimate of the grass people, the profit is more than five times! ”
"Five-fold? That's just the hand-over benefit of the beginning! As long as the tattered weapons and armor of these Jizhou soldiers are transported back to Xuzhou for smelting, whether it is to rebuild weapons or make farm tools, the profit will be more than five times! What's more, there are gold, silver, copper, coins and jade pendants seized from the corpses of those soldiers...... And that's not even counting the granaries and treasury in Liyang City......"
"You should try not to take the grain, grass and things in the treasury!" He Xian interrupted Mi Zhen's words, "Your share, I will use those obsolete weapons to exchange with you, and I should also help the Nanyang Army deal with those burdens!" ”
