16. Burning with rage

"What's the problem?" A big question mark floated in everyone's heads.

It's just that the current situation is urgent, and there is not so much time for everyone to think, and the top priority is to support Guancheng.

Zhang Liao paused, and said in a slightly hesitant tone: "Today, the situation is a little special, and my subordinates want to personally lead troops to support Guancheng, lord, you see ......."

He Chen shook his head and said: "It's not proper, Benzhou Mu has just arrived, and he is not very familiar with the Yanmen defense system, and he is about to ask Wen Yuan to help on the side." As for supporting Guancheng, it is better to let Gao Shun take the lead, Zhang Xun as the auxiliary, and lead a man out of Longling. ”

"Yes, Pastor Governor." Gao Shun behind He Chen didn't say a word, and then responded.

Zhang Liao was worried about whether this Gao Shun ability could take on this important responsibility, but when he saw that the person who answered the voice was the one who asked him just now, he stubbornly suppressed the doubts in his heart, nodded in agreement, and said: "The subordinates obey the arrangement of the lord." ”

"General Gao, although Xianbei is the best in the grassland with cavalry and archery, their foot soldiers are also brave and good at fighting, and they are not afraid of death. When you go to close the city, you should be cautious. Zhang Liao was a little worried, and finally couldn't help but go out and remind.

"Thank you General Zhang for mentioning it, Gao will remember it in my heart." Gao Shun was still expressionless, and said indifferently.

After receiving He Chen's signal, he and Zhang Xun left quickly, preparing soldiers and horses to support Guancheng.

"Report ......"

Just as Gao Shun left, a soldier was almost covered in blood and had many scars on his body, and rushed over from afar.

"Report to the lord, General Zhang, the Xianbei army suddenly increased its efforts to tackle key problems, a large number of enemy reinforcements have been found in the front, our army's front line is tight, Vice General Wang can't support it, and he specially asked his subordinates to ask for reinforcements."

Sure enough, the tearing sound, which was already a little weak just now, suddenly became louder. Trumpets and drums vibrated in unison, and the mountains trembled.

"What's wrong with Xianbei today?" Zhang Liaoxian said in surprise.

"It is initially estimated that at least about 30,000 enemy troops have come up to support, and they have a large number of auxiliary items." The soldier confessed all he knew, and waited for the order to be given.

Guo Jia, who was behind He Chen, saw that the battle was so urgent, and he couldn't help but say solemnly: "It seems that Xianbei is going to attack the city with all his might." ”

"Immediately let Jiao Touch lead the Liangqu team to support the city gate, and order Zhang Jinbu to be ready to fight at any time." Zhang Liao shouted loudly.

"No." The messengers hurried away.

Zhang Liao saluted He Chen and said calmly: "Lord, the battle at the city gate is tight, and his subordinates must go up to check it out in person." ”

"Go ahead." At this time, He Chen was not in the way of Zhang Liao, and said with a frown.

Before Zhang Liao could leave, and everyone had not yet recovered from the tense atmosphere, another soldier with an elongated voice crawled over to report.

"Report to the general, 100 miles of urgent documents, the Xianbei army has conquered Wei County and Zhongshan counties a few days ago, and the army is rapidly moving towards my Yanmen."

"What, Ulju is lost? Yuan Shao, he eats shit? According to the sinister mountains and rivers flying fox road here, villages are set up everywhere according to Yanshan, and there are villages and forts, so how can he lose such an important checkpoint? At this moment, Zhang Liao, who could no longer control the turbulent waves in his heart, scolded loudly.

At this time, not only Zhang Liao's face was like earth, but even Guo Jia and Xun You were shocked.

Ulzhou is one of the sixteen states of Yanyun, and 15 kilometers to the south is one of the eight Taihang Flying Fox Mouth. To the south, this place can be directly penetrated and overlooked the Hebei Plain; To the west, you can go out of the Wutai Mountains and look at the whole territory of the state, and the location is not unimportant. It's just a pity that this important pass was in the hands of Youzhou Mu Liu Yu at the beginning, and with Yuan Shao's strong entry into Hebei, it naturally became his jurisdiction. He Chen has always wanted to take it into his pocket, but unfortunately the war is too tight and he has not been able to spare time.

"Xianbei 10,000 cavalry, once the soldiers approached the city, the defender He Ang almost did not resist, but disarmed and surrendered." The soldier reported the truth.

"Grass." He Chen was furious and scolded. What is calm, what is calm, where is there a swear word at this time to express the indignation in the heart. "Yuan Shao's fucking eyes were eaten by dogs? Such an important level was guarded by a timid Han Jian. He surrendered obediently without a fight, and he was not afraid of being poked in the back? ”

"My lord, my subordinates think that the Ulzhou guard is not unwilling to guard, but he is forced to obey the order." Guo Jia's expression was also gloomy and scary.

"Are you saying that Yuan Shao, who killed a thousand knives, actually let Xianbei enter the customs in order to get rid of Benzhou Mu." He Chen's eyes widened, and he said with an incredible expression on his face.

Guo Jia also said with hatred: "Since General He left, the fire of hatred of the Yuan family towards the lord has become more and more prosperous as time progresses. It is said that the lord of the table and the state pastor were put forward by him first. Dong Zhuo just pushed the boat along the river, happy to watch the two tigers fight. This time, Xianbei can ride into the state so easily, if Chi Yuanshao is not the driving force behind the scenes, he will not believe it if he kills his subordinates. ”

"Is it possible to blind a person like this for the sake of hatred?" He Chen was a little speechless.

"No, the lord thinks too simply. Yuan Shao had just led the Jizhou pastor, although his power had increased greatly, but the henchmen of Gongsun Zan and Gongsun Du in Liaodong were not eliminated, and they could not be stable. He united with Xianbei, first of all, he was able to firmly contain the main army's forces on the front line of Yanmen, so as to free up his hands to clean up You, Yan, and Liaodong. Secondly, if Xianbei breaks through the Yanmen, at most it will be plundered and retreated to the grassland, but the lord's forces are very likely to be scattered and disabled, and then he can take advantage of the situation to take over the state at the least cost. You must know that Taihang Bacheng is the throat of the whole territory of Hebei, if you can't stretch your hands, it is like a fish bone choking, and you can't sleep at night. ”

"Yuan Shao......" He Chen roared like an angry tiger, his eyes were bloodshot.

"Lao Tzu has taken care of Xianbei, and the next one will clean you up. Let's wash Lao Tzu's white tyranny chrysanthemum. He Chen was furious and scolded without words.

"Lord, when it is a matter of duty, I can't let Xianbei enter my hinterland, otherwise the light ride will be like the wind, and it will be like an increase in the number of people." Almost at the moment of life and death, Xun You was not hiding, and then Guo Jia's words were extremely serious.

"Along the southwest of Ulzhou, although there are large and small passes, but it has been unable to resist the Xianbei army that has been driving straight in, and it is estimated that it will not take a few days to reach Pingshun City. This place is the most important fortified city to defend the hinterland of our state, and it is the most important on three sides. It is connected to the upper valley in the east, the Yellow River in the south, and the desert in the north. The screen of the real Beijing division, the guarantee of the Central Plains. When Gaozu ventured forward and was besieged by Maden for seven days and seven nights, if it weren't for the high and sinister Mapu Mountain, how could he withstand the Xiongnu attack when the Chinese army did not come up with support? Now that the war situation is urgent, if you don't send a general to defend it, I am afraid that Yanmen will not be protected and the state will be in danger. ”

"Xu Huang." He Chen almost didn't want to say anything.

"Not in." Xu Huang had already realized the seriousness of the matter, and hurriedly responded.

"Immediately lead 10,000 horses, march in a hurry overnight, and rush to Pingshun City within five days. If there's a slight slip up here, you're the only one to ask. ”

"No, my subordinates swear to defend Pingcheng to the death." Xu Huang replied in a deep voice, flicked his cloak, and was about to leave to lead the troops.

"Slow." Xun You stopped loudly, and asked repeatedly: "General Gongming, if Xianbei comes to attack, how are you going to deal with it?" ”

Xu Huang didn't want to think: "The enemy's long-distance attack, there will inevitably be no heavy siege equipment, our army will be closed to the city and defend it, and after a long time, Xianbei will inevitably retreat due to the problem of food and grass." ”

"What if Xianbei doesn't attack the city, but instead divides his troops to rob my grain road?"

Xu Huang was stunned, obviously he hadn't thought about this question, and he couldn't answer it for a while, so he pondered there.

"If the enemy plunders my grain route, Gongming must not be shaken, and your task is to defend Binh Thuan City." Xun Youyan said earnestly.

"My subordinates understand." Xu Huang realized, and then turned to leave.

"My lord, the battle situation is unknown at this time, and 15,000 cavalry is the final word at the critical moment, and it should not be moved lightly. In this way, the foot soldiers led by Gongming show that the mobile surname is somewhat insufficient, but I am afraid that it has not yet reached Pingshun, Xianbei has been pressed by large soldiers, and it will be difficult to keep it will be a little panicked, and his subordinates think that the lord can take a leave of absence, and quickly let the soldiers be sent to Pingcheng, so that the guards will resist the Xianbei offensive anyway, and drag it until the reinforcements arrive. If it is not five days, even if he abandons the city and flees, he will not be guilty. ”

He Chen nodded again and again: "What Gongda said is extremely true. ”

"Report." Just after dealing with this matter, another messenger came in a hurry.

One after another, the messengers almost overwhelmed the generals, and there was a feeling of sudden storm and heart-pounding.

He Chen's face was more bitter than bitter gourd, and he was afraid that something would go wrong, so he gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Grandma, there is bad news coming out of your mouth, and Lao Tzu will immediately pull you out of the big eighty board." ”

The soldier was startled when he saw He Chen's devouring expression, but he still stubbornly said, "Report ...... My lord, I found a foreign army moving behind me, numbering about a thousand people, with strange whereabouts and unknown movements. The preliminary estimate should be the Qiang, or the Xiongnu troops. ”

Damn, it's really a house leak and it rains overnight, and if there is a minority riot or robbery at this time, it will be troublesome.

"Go and call Hu Chuquan, Lao Tzu wants to ask what the hell is going on?" At this time, He Chen was already on the verge of going berserk, and he just wanted to pull out his spear, slurp some people to death, and vent the anger in his heart.

Everyone mourned in silence for the Kitchen Spring.

"Let's go, take Benzhou Mu to Yanmen to close it and take a look, Lao Tzu wants to kill people." He Chen finally thought of a good place to vent his emotions.

"The body of the lord is ten thousand gold, and you can't easily get into danger." Everyone was shocked, and they all stopped it.

"Damn, Lao Tzu is going to inspect the defense line and motivate the soldiers, not to rush to the front line. What are you nervous about? He Chen was a little speechless.

"But then again, when the Benzhou Mu first arrived in Yanmen, all he heard was the bad news that he was passively beaten, so he had to find a way to take the initiative to frustrate the Xianbei spirit, so that they could know that the Benzhou Mu was not that easy to bully."
