Chapter 499: The White Robe Goes on the Expedition
Time passed quietly, and immediately entered the end of 195 AD, the cold season in winter, due to the weather, it was not conducive to the battle of the large army, and the three battlefields were in a state of confrontation. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
On the side of Runan, Chang Yuchun was the main general, Fang Xuanling was the military advisor, Gan Ning, Yang Zaixing, and Yang Yansi were the generals, leading 40,000 troops in Pingyu, and the area dragged Hou Jun to gather nearly 60,000 troops.
On the Yanzhou side, Zhao Kuangyin sent 50,000 troops, Cao Bin, Cao Ren, Xu Chu and others were generals, Chen Gong and Cheng Yu were strategists, and sent troops to the Lu area to attack Zhang Xun's defense line. Zhang Xun is not an opponent, he has been defeated and retreated, he has already lost the Lu State in the autumn and retreated to the Liang State, if it is not for the winter when he can't send troops to fight on a large scale, he is afraid that he has already been defeated and retreated.
On the Lujiang side, Sun Ce, the son of Sun Jian, commanded an army of 30,000, and his best friend Zhou Yu was the deputy general, leading most of the Jiangdong Tiger generals to deal with Liang Gang, Li Feng and others.
And the hinterland of Yuan Shu is also full of smoke, and countless heroes and heroes have risen up to oppose Yuan Shu's tyranny.
And Yuan Shu himself, but in Shouchun, he was lustful and greedy for pleasure, and when the army was defeated in the front, he conscripted troops and sent them to the front. The people of Huainan fell into dire straits for a while.
Liu Wei has been staying in Nanyang to deal with affairs, and the war in front of the governor has come to March of the following year.
The first year of Jian'an, March 196 AD.
The climate in the south warmed again, Zhao Kuangyin in the north, and Sun Ce's soldiers and horses in the south attacked in this fierce attack, and Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses were defeated and retreated, with heavy losses. And Jiujiang, where Yuan Shu's governance is located, is still empty in defense, and the hinterland is full of smoke.
At this time, Chen Qingzhi and Yu Yunwen, who were far away in Qingzhou, realized that the fighter plane had appeared with their keen sense of smell. Qingzhou, in the Assassin's Mansion in Beihai Opera County, Chen Qingzhi and Yu Yunwen came together to see Kong Rong.
Yu Yunwen arched his hand and said: "Lord Assassin Shi, now that the north and south roads of Yuan Shu are already in a situation of rout on all fronts, and the hinterland of Yuan Shu is full of smoke, now is the best time to attack Shouchun." I immediately went to Xuzhou to ask Tao Qian to open the checkpoint, and General Chen was on standby, and then went south. ”
Kong Rong looked at Chen Qingzhi and asked, "General Chen, is your white-robed army worthy of a battle?"
"Invincible, invincible, invincible, invincible!" Chen Qingzhi said with a warlike face.
The white-robed army has been training for five months, and one training per day is enough to be worth two years of training for other soldiers and horses. Under the training of Chen Qingzhi, Qin Qiong and others, it is already a strong army in the world. In the past five months, Chen Qingzhi himself has set an example every day, and followed Qin Qiong to lay the foundation, and his physical fitness has also reached the standard of a normal soldier.
At least the foot can gallop, the horse can ride, and although it is not possible to charge with soldiers, at least it will not become a burden.
Kong Rong was overjoyed when he heard this: "This is very good, I will wait for the day when General Chen returns triumphantly, I will go to prepare supplies for this trip, and you will go to Xuzhou to let Tao Qian let my army pass."
"No!" Yu Yunwen went to Xuzhou, Chen Qingzhi also retreated to prepare for the expedition, and Kong Rong also went to prepare supplies.
A few days later, Yu Yunwen came to Xuzhou again, and Xuzhou was still the same as before in May, but Tao Qian's health was getting worse and worse. Under the leadership of Mi Zhu, Yu Yunwen came to the Thorn History Mansion, only to see Tao Qian's face on the bed was yellow, but fortunately, he was still in good spirits and did not affect the matter of borrowing the Tao.
Seeing Yu Yunwen's arrival, Tao Qian struggled to sit up under the service of his subordinates, looked at Yu Yunwen and said, "Mr. is here?" I'm afraid that if Mr. doesn't come, I won't be able to see him. ”
"Where did Tao Envoy Jun speak? The envoy is just a minor illness, and he will be fine after a while. ”
Tao Qian smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I know my body, I'm afraid there won't be some time, now that Yuan Shu's power is exhausted, I'm afraid you are here to use the Dao to send troops!"
Yu Yunwen nodded and said, "Please also fulfill it!"
"I have already agreed to borrow the Tao, and it will not change, but I have something I want to ask sir!" Tao Qian looked at Yu Yunwen with a pleading face.
"Please say, as long as I can do it, I will never postpone it!"
Tao Qian asked, "Have you ever done anything about the Qingxu alliance?"
Yu Yunwen nodded and said, "Naturally, it counts!"
"Just count, I'm afraid I don't have many days for me, after I die, Zizhong will help my eldest son Tao Ying to be the assassin of Xuzhou. If the son is incompetent, he will look for another meritocracy. My Xuzhou power is weak, I'm afraid that after my death, Xuzhou will not be able to keep, if the Qingxu alliance can be guaranteed, if not, let it be given to others, at present, the princes of the Quartet, not as tyrannical as Yuan Shu, will treat my people in Xuzhou well. It's just that my two sons, and I ask the two tens of millions to protect me, don't let my Tao family be the last! Tao Qian looked at the two and pleaded.
"The lord ......" looked at Tao Qian Mizhu leaning down and bowing down, with a sad face, Yu Yunwen couldn't help but admire Tao Qian's personality, for the sake of the people of Xuzhou, he could give up the status of the family to take charge of Xuzhou, and he was dedicated to the public, and only Tao Qian was left. Although Tao Qian has many flaws, this has to be admired. Yu Yunwen nodded and promised: "Rest assured, the two sons will definitely spend their lives safely!"
Tao Qian turned over his hand and took out an envelope and said: "I have already prepared for the matter of borrowing the Tao, circulate this letter to the generals and schools along the way, and they will open the card exchange and let the Qingzhou soldiers and horses go south through Xuzhou!"
Mi Zhu resulted in the letter, Tao Qian waved his hand, signaling the two to retreat, and soon the letter was sent to the north, and the soldiers and horses defending in the north were open to change cards, and Chen Qingzhi, who had been waiting for the expedition, led the white-robed army all the way south.
And at this time, Xi Zhicai, who was recuperating outside the city, also got the news. Xi Zhicai's body was also terminally ill, lying on the collapse and unable to move. Zhao Guangyi came to Xi Zhicai's residence and sat in front of Xi Zhicai's collapse and said: "Military advisor, I just got the news that Chen Qingzhi, the general of Qingzhou, led 8,000 soldiers and horses south, intending to attack Shouchun by surprise.
"Ahem, Qingzhou is the territory of the Son of Heaven, this time I am afraid that the Son of Heaven wants Yuan Shu's head." Xi Zhicai said while coughing.
"What about the Son of Heaven, I, Yanzhou, am the main force attacking Yuan Shu, where can I let Qingzhou take advantage of the fire to rob at the moment, I must write to the eldest brother and ask him to send troops to intercept the soldiers and horses of Qingzhou!" Zhao Guangyi said angrily.
"Ahem, it's useless, the soldiers and horses of Qingzhou have already gone south, and they will go directly to Shouchun from Xiapi, and they will succeed in a few days. Even if the lord mobilizes troops and horses now, it will take time, and the lord has no extra soldiers and horses to draw out. Xi Zhicai stopped.
"What then? Could it be that Qingzhou broke Shouchun and took Yuan Shu's head? ”
Xi Zhicai shook his head and said: "You tell Sun Ce about this, Jiangdong attacked Lujiang from the south, and he was invincible all the way, and now he is very close to Shouchun, and the two of them are young and vigorous, and they will definitely send troops to intercept the Qingzhou soldiers and horses."
"But in this way, won't Yuan Shu be snatched away by them?"
Xi Zhicai said helplessly: "Don't care about the gains and losses of one city and one place, from the overall situation, Yuan Shu's head has no much effect on the lord, and the princess has already gained enough land and reputation by sending troops to Yuan Shu." Wouldn't it be better to let the Sun family and the Son of Heaven pinch each other? If you really care about Yuan Shu's head, you can make preparations with both hands, Cao Bao is friendly with you, you can hide from Tao Qian and let him cut off the grain and grass that supplies Qingzhou soldiers and horses, if Qingzhou people and horses successfully take Yuan Shu's head and go north, you can borrow Cao Bao's hand to take them down, so that Tao Qian and the Son of Heaven can make enemies! ”
Zhao Guangyi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he couldn't help but sigh: "The military advisor is really a god and a man, and this plan is ingenious!" I'll do it! ”
Zhao Guangyi turned around and left, first sending a letter to the Lujiang battlefield, telling Sun Jian about the surprise attack on Shouchun by Qingzhou soldiers and horses. Then Zhao Guangyi went to find Cao Bao again, and the two conspired against Chen Qingzhi's white-robed army.
Three days later, Chen Qingzhi led the white-robed army to Xiapi, from which you could reach Shouchun in the southwest direction.
Chen Qingzhi's soldiers and horses were stationed outside Xiapi City, and Mi Zhu and Yu Yunwen came to the labor army with the grain and grass materials prepared by Tao Qian. Tao Qian had already said in advance that Xuzhou was responsible for the grain and grass for the Qingzhou soldiers and horses, and Tao Qian did let people prepare.
In the barracks that night, Chen Qingzhi got acquainted with Mi Zhu, and after thanking Xuzhou for his help, Mi Zhu left, and Yu Yunwen stayed behind to discuss important matters with Chen Qingzhi secretly.
Chen Qingzhi calculated: "After the replenishment of Xuzhou, now the officers and men of our army have enough dry food for ten days, and five days to Shouchun, at most five days Shouchun grain and grass should be enough."
Now that Yuan Shu's rear has not been noticed, and the people are revolting, Chen Qingzhi is confident that his soldiers and horses can reach Shouchun all the way unimpeded, and to capture Shouchun, Chen Qingzhi also has a plan in his heart.
Compared with Chen Qingzhi's optimism, Yu Yunwen shook his head, he knew more about the situation in Xuzhou, and knew that Chen Qingzhi's trip would not be so smooth, so he reminded: "General Chen, although Xuzhou has supplied grain and grass now, I am afraid that there will be no more grain and grass in the future, you must be completely prepared!"
Chen Qingzhi nodded and said: "As long as Shouchun is captured, I have a way to get the follow-up grain and grass, the situation in Xuzhou is also very serious, there is no one to protect it, the military advisor is here to deal with Zhao Guangyi and others, be careful."
"I will pay attention, you sent troops to Shouchun this time, if my estimate is good, you will definitely be blocked by Zhao Kuangyin and Jiangdong soldiers, they are elite soldiers, you should not take it lightly. In Xuzhou, I will deal with it in a while, as long as you go back to Xuzhou, you will be safe! Yu Yunwen assured.
"Don't worry, I will definitely return safely this time!" Chen Qingzhi said solemnly.
This time, Chen Qingzhi's 8,000 soldiers and horses went deep into the enemy's territory alone, carrying only ten days of grain and grass, without support, not only to take Yuan Shu's national capital. It is not difficult to deal with Zhao Kuangyin's Yanzhou soldiers and horses, and the Jiangdong soldiers led by Sun Ce, Zhou Yu and others.
But Chen Qingzhi also has an advantage, that is, he was unexpected, when he came, Chen Qingzhi had studied Zhao Kuangyin, Sun Ce, Zhou Yu and others to find their flaws. But they didn't know that the Qingzhou soldiers would attack Shouchun, and they didn't know Chen Qingzhi, which was Chen Qingzhi's only advantage.
After the two finished discussing, Yu Yunwen left the military camp outside the city, looked at the stars in the sky and whispered: "Zhao Guangyi, Xi Zhicai, Cao Bao, in Xuzhou, I, Yu Yunwen, will accompany you to compete!"
Early the next morning, under the leadership of Chen Qingzhi's Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin, the 8,000 white-robed army went all the way to the southwest, and a day later, the soldiers and horses entered the Jiujiang territory.
