Chapter 491: Long Journey
Angry, Zhang He had no explanation, and walked away angrily. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Ma Yan and several other generals were still present, and Zhang He walked away so rudely, obviously displeased with Yuan Shang, which immediately made Yuan Shang's face sink.
"General Zhang is really, the third prince is the commander of the whole army, just ask him carefully, as for the anger is so big, are you still so disrespectful to the third prince." Mayan muttered beside him.
As soon as he fanned the flames like this, Yuan Shang's face became even more difficult, he crumpled the letter into a ball, threw it on the ground, and turned around and brushed his sleeves away.
The camp of the Zhou army.
In the big tent, Zhang Yuan went to sit on it, and Li Si and Touch Long were two strategists, and they sat in front of the tent.
In front of the tent, the messenger who had returned from the dust was reporting to Zhang Yuan.
It was on Zhang Yuan's order that the messenger went to Ancheng with his handwritten letter and surrendered to Zhang He.
"Very good, come on, reward." After listening to the report, Zhang Yuan nodded with satisfaction.
The messenger bowed and retreated.
"Li Si, this father is so divisive between Yuan Shang and Zhang He, you look at it," Zhang Yuan looked at Li Si.
Yuan Shang's ability to command troops is far inferior to Zhang He, and if he wants to break through Ancheng, the key is to deal with Zhang He by Ruzhong.
If Yuan Shang and Zhang He's ministers worked together, with the solidity of Ancheng, Zhang Yuan would not be able to break quickly, so he would use Li Si's strategy to divide the two.
Li Si expected that Yuan Shang's character, like his father Yuan Shao, was suspicious, which was the basis for the implementation of discord.
"Zhou Gong can think of using the trick to surrender Zhang He, smearing his hands and feet in the letter, arousing Yuan Shang's suspicion, it is indeed a clever trick, with Yuan Shang's suspicious character, when he sees the letter, it is strange not to doubt it." Touching the dragon also smiled.
The plan of discord was proposed by Li Si, but if it was a discordant method, it was Zhang Yuan who thought of it at a moment's whim.
Hearing the praise of the dragon, Zhang Yuan only smiled faintly.
"Zhou Gong's move is indeed wise, but this letter alone can only make Yuan Shang suspicious, and it has not yet achieved the effect of truly separating them, I think we have to perform a few more good shows."
"Go on." Zhang Yuan's eyes lit up and urged.
Li Si explained his plan unhurriedly.
Zhang Yuanxing was excited when he heard this, nodded again and again, patted the case, and said happily: "Li Si's plan is wonderful, so let's do it." ”
At that moment, Zhang Yuan and Li Si agreed on the details in detail, and were ready to act according to the plan.
At this time, a member of the reprimanded Wen hurriedly entered and handed a silk book to Touchlong, who was in charge of intelligence work.
Touching the dragon glanced at it a few times, his expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly handed over the silk book, "Duke Zhou, the urgent secret report just sent by Chengyuan County, I'm afraid our discordant action will have to be delayed a little." ”
Zhang Yuan's expression moved, he glanced at Li Si, took the silk book and looked at it, and his brows couldn't help frowning slightly, "Yuan Xi, this kid, finally can't sit still." ”
The intelligence claimed that the second son of the Yuan family had led 30,000 Liangzhou soldiers out of the nest not long ago, marched west along the Chenghe River, and rushed towards Liyang.
Zhang Yuan showed the letter to Li Si.
"It seems that Yuan Shao ordered Yuan Xi to retreat to Beiliangzhou, the purpose is to take advantage of the fact that our army is gathering in Ancheng, let Yuan Xi attack my flank, threaten Liyang, and force us to retreat, this is probably Yuan Shao's strategy to retreat." Looking at the silk book, Li Sidao broke through the mystery.
Touching the dragon sneered: "Fortunately, Zhou Gong has already guarded against Hui, and sent the general to lead four thousand elite soldiers to guard Liyang, with Yuan Xi's ability, even if he can kill Liyang City, he can only look at the city and sigh, we don't care about him at all." ”
Touching the dragon means that he turned a blind eye to Yuan Xi's troops and horses, and the army continued to attack Ancheng.
Zhang Yuan pondered for a moment, but shook his head, a sneer rose at the corner of his mouth, "Yuan Xi's soldiers and horses, even if they can't attack Liyang, let him exist on our flank, it is always an unstable factor, he was entrenched in the Yuan Yuan before, I can't help him, and now he has an itchy butt and takes the initiative to get out of the nest, how can I let go of this great opportunity." ”
"Zhou Gong means that he wants to take the opportunity to break Yuan Xi and solve the flank threat in one fell swoop," Li Si's eyes lit up.
Zhang Yuan smiled and nodded.
"Zhou Gong's idea is right." Touching Long nodded first, but then said: "It's just that if we divide our troops in Liyang and go to meet Yuan Tan, there will be few soldiers and horses." Not enough to break the enemy. There are many soldiers. The boy was afraid. and returned to the plain. Wait for our army to retreat. He sent troops to harass again. So repeatedly to no avail. It seems that our army is somewhat passive. ”
"Who said I was going to fight Yuan Tan......" on the young face. A sneaky sneer has emerged.
……
Two days later.
When Yuan Xi led an army of 30,000. As we marched towards the dawn of the sun. Zhang Yuan and Li Cunxiao led six thousand light horsemen. It is on the avenue northeast of Yecheng. Run wild.
The day is midday. Six thousand light horsemen came to a junction.
From there, continue south. Crossing the Qinghe River is the museum Zhangcheng. The other road is to go north along the Qing River. Walk through the country of Qinghe. Go straight to the road.
Yuan Xi's army marched west from the Yuanyuan. Attack Liyang. Guanzhangcheng is the place where it must pass. Estimated based on foot travel. Yuan Xi was probably also on his way to Guan Zhangcheng.
Zhang Yuan was in the name of blocking Yuan Xi. Divide your forces. These light cavalry soldiers all thought. The purpose of their trip. It was ahead of Yuan's army. Occupy the museum Zhangcheng. Give Yuan Xi a hard blow there.
They are ready to cross the Qing River. Psychological preparation for the capture of the pavilion.
Zhang Yuan ordered at this time that the whole army should stop advancing and rest on the spot.
The six thousand soldiers were finally able to take a breath, each dismounted to rest, and also gave his beloved war horse a breath and fed a few sips of water to drink.
"The road to the north leads to Zhongji," Zhang Yuan asked, pointing to the road, taking a sip of water.
Li Cunxiao glanced at it and said: "According to the map, if the road goes further north, it will follow the Qinghe River, pass through the Xinghe Qingguo, wipe through the northern border of the Yuanyuan County, and enter the territory of Bolu County. ”
"From the border of Chengyuan County, it seems that this is the road......" Zhang Yuan nodded slightly, and a sneer gradually appeared in his eyes.
After pouring the last mouthful of water, Zhang Yuan turned over and got on his horse, pointed his sword to the north, and shouted: "If you have enough rest, you can get on the horse for this father, the whole army will be rerouted to the north, and go straight to take the Yuan Yuan with this father, and copy Yuan Xi's nest." ”
Take it straight to the Shohara.
Hearing this order, Li Cunxiao's expression moved, and he was in a trance for a while, thinking that he had heard it wrong.
Li Cunxiao did not hear it wrong, Zhang Yuan was going to attack Chengyuan.
Chengyuan County, located in the easternmost part of Hebei, on the north bank of the Chenghe River, belongs to Liangzhou, is a strategic county connecting Jizhou in the west and Liangzhou in the east.
Yuan Xi's base camp is in the county.
Considering the concerns of touching the dragon, Zhang Yuan decided to personally lead 6,000 light horsemen, in the name of seizing the pavilion Zhang and blocking Yuan Xi, but in fact, he wanted to run a long distance and directly copied Yuan Xi's nest.
