Chapter 124: Arms and States
Yuan Shao hesitated for a long time, and finally decided to follow Jia Xu's advice and not to withdraw for the time being, but he temporarily suspended his troops to wait for Yan Liangwen's army to arrive.
In fact, as far as the current situation is concerned, the withdrawal of troops is a relatively correct decision. Because Yuan Shaojun's plan to attack by surprise failed, and if he attacked, Yuan Shaojun's grain and grass was a big problem, and the Jizhou army was fortified in the city, and the grain and grass were sufficient, even if Yuan Shaojun's army converged with Yan Liangwen's army, it was basically impossible to break Jizhou in a short time. The main reason why Jia Xu suggested that Yuan Shao continue to attack the city was that he was worried that he would be made fun of by other strategists if he went back like this, and in addition, he also wanted to make his position in Yuan Shao's army surpass others by virtue of a meritorious service. Otherwise, how can his Xiliang's soil buns compare with these famous scholars of the Shi clan.
However, the world is unpredictable, maybe Yuan Shaojun can really break through Jizhou.
Youzhou, the General's Mansion.
I looked at the note in my hand with a smile on my face. Although Huangfu Song led some veterans to do nothing, his military ability was not weak. Yuan Shao didn't have a chance to take Jizhou lightly as in history, the two fought like this, and the situation in the Central Plains was bound to be chaotic because of this, and the eyes that were originally paid attention to themselves would leave, and the time for expansion had come.
The battle in Jizhou attracted the attention of the world, and everyone was paying close attention to the development of the war situation in Jizhou.
"Everyone, now that Jizhou is in turmoil, Yuan Shao's thief is disturbing the world again, but this has no impact on us, but it is beneficial to us. Although the news came that the state was occupied by Zhang Yang, but it was only a party guard, and there was no edict from the prince, so we swept the state on the grounds of fighting Zhang Yang. I don't know what you think. ”
"What the lord said is extremely true, the general has the right to command the world's soldiers and horses, and now Zhang Yang does not have the edict of the Son of Heaven, and he actually sits on the state privately, and the general should teach him a lesson for His Majesty. As for His Majesty's recital, Mr. Frustration wrote it! Guo Jia came out and said that he didn't even bother to write the recital, but fortunately, they were used to Guo Jia's this.
"Is there any other adult who has any opinions?"
"Lord, what do you want, don't fix these things, just hit it." Zhang Fei heard that some of the battles hurriedly came out and roared.
"Cough, cough" Guan Yu hurriedly reminded Zhang Fei with a fake cough.
"Haha, excited, the lord continues, continue."
Zhang Fei hurriedly retreated in embarrassment.
"Yide's opinion is good, let's fight directly. But Yide will stay behind and escort the grain and grass. I quipped as I sipped my tea.
Who doesn't know that Zhang Fei is so anxious, it is better to kill him than to let him press the grain. They all shook their heads secretly and laughed.
Zhang Fei's face was sad, and he was about to say something good, but Chu Xiong spoke first.
"Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, where is Chen?"
"The Last Will Be"
"Ordered Lu Bu to be the chief vanguard officer of the road, Chen Gong to be the military advisor, Zhao Yun and Chen Zhi to be the left and right vanguards, and Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and others entered Yanmen to directly take the state."
"Obedience"
"Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, where is Guo Jia?"
"The Last Will Be"
"Order you Guan Yu to be the marshal, the governor of the military, Guo Jia to be the military advisor, and Zhang Fei to be the escort officer of the rear army, responsible for sweeping the surrounding counties and managing the reception."
"Obey" Zhang Fei heard that he also had his share, although he was really a grain and grass official, but it was better than Xu Fatzi's nothingness, and he also yelled very loudly.
"Where is Liu Bei?"
"The lower official is here." Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, why did he order soldiers and his business?
"This king protects you as the pastor of the state, and I hope you can implement the policies that have been implemented in Youzhou over the years, and the perfect implementation of the state, and this king will let Xu Junshi help you. Your position will be held by your deputy, Tian Chou. ”
"Thank you for your support, I will definitely not disappoint my lord." Liu Bei was also a little excited, although he knew that he was promoting himself because of his understanding of Youzhou's policy. But can you not be excited to be a fifth-grade professional, and suddenly become a second-grade master, although the future state pastor can only manage the government, it is still exciting.
…………
On this day, Zhang Yang drank and had fun with his wives and concubines in the cabinet as usual. Suddenly, a subordinate ran in with a rolling belt.
Zhang Yang was drunken and flirting with his wives and concubines, and when he saw his subordinates running in recklessly to disturb him, he couldn't help but feel annoyed.
The general ran to Zhang Yang, knelt down with a puff, and reported in an extremely panicked tone: "Lord Qiqi, something is wrong!" The Sirius Army is coming! ”
Zhang Yang originally planned to reprimand this ignorant subordinate, but when he heard the report of his subordinates, he was immediately stupid. The scene was quiet and all the people were stupid. What's the matter, it's only been a few days since I sat in this position, and I asked you if you provoked the Sky Wolf Army.
The general knelt tremblingly and waited for Zhang Yang's instructions.
After a long time, Zhang Yang came back to his senses, and his face suddenly turned pale. Immediately, he grabbed his subordinates and shouted angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about! What is the Celestial Wolf Army killing!? You explain it to me! ”
The general swallowed his saliva, and then hurriedly said: "The lord has just received news from Yanmen, Yanmen has been lost, and the other party is the Youzhou Heavenly Wolf Army!" Tens of thousands of troops of the Heavenly Wolf Army went south to Yanmen, and our army was caught off guard and defeated like a mountain, and now only Shangdang, Xihe and Taiyuan remain! The Heavenly Wolf army is now coming straight to Taiyuan, and I am afraid that it will be in a few days! ”
Zhang Yang was unsteady on his feet, staggered back a few steps, and finally fell into the arms of his favorite concubine. "How is this possible! How is this possible! Zhang Yang's face was dead, and his lips trembled and muttered.
The wives and concubines were also shocked, and their faces were all pale and silent. The scene was very solemn and quiet.
The general stood aside, his head bowed, and he didn't dare to come out, he was worried that Zhang Yang would be angry with him.
At this moment, several of Zhang Yang's strategists trotted in, with a look of impatience.
"Lord, I heard that the Youzhou Heavenly Wolf Army suddenly invaded the territory, so I specially came to discuss countermeasures with the lord." , one of the strategists hugged Zhang Yang with his fist.
Zhang Yang looked in a trance at this time, and said dejectedly: "What else is there to discuss." How could we be the opponent of the Heavenly Wolf Army, the Tiger and Wolf Army! What's more, Yanmen has been lost, and now there are only 50,000 troops in Jinyang City, so we have no hope! ”
Several of the advisors looked at each other and frowned, they didn't expect that their lord had lost confidence. It doesn't matter if you are not as strong as others, and it doesn't matter if the situation is bad, but if you lose confidence, then everything is over.
A strategist stepped forward and said with a look of regret: "Since the lord has lost his confidence, then I will stop talking nonsense!" ”
Ten days ago, in Lu Bu and Chen Dao, Zhao Yun and Chen Gong led 60,000 Heavenly Wolf Army south.
The original army of the Heavenly Wolf Army stationed in Dai County and Zhuo County was 180,000 people, and the standing army of 100,000 was not counted, but this time when he went south, Chu Xiong still left 30,000 Heavenly Wolf Army to garrison Zhuo County, and Xu Chu and Zhou Cang also remained. These two places are located on the border, and they are the places where many forces are intertwined, and Chu Xiong had to leave enough troops and a general to guard them.
Riding on the red rabbit, Lu Bu was the most excited one. A few days ago, Chu Xiong responded to Yuan Shao's call to lead the army south to crusade against Dong Zhuo, and Lu Bu was fine when he split Huaxiong, which made Lu Bu, who had always regarded himself very highly, depressed. Fortunately, Chu Xiong has explained, otherwise, I am afraid that Lu Bu has not thought about it until now.
Lu Bu rode on top of the red rabbit and marched in the middle of the team, with Chen Zhi and Zhao Yun on the left and right. Lu Bu stroked the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand that frightened the Huns, and his eyes were full of excitement.
Seeing this, Chen Zhi and Zhao Yun on the side couldn't help but smile at each other.
Immediately, Chen Gong in the back looked tight and said to Lu Bu: "Feng Xian, I will go to Yanmen in a while, everything is under my orders, don't rush to **." ”。 Chen Gong was a little worried that Lu Bu would act indiscriminately if he didn't listen to the order.
"Don't worry, Gongtai Military Division. I understand the laws of the Sky Wolf Army, since the lord ordered you to be a military advisor, of course I will obey your orders. Lu Bu said indifferently.
Seeing Lu Bu's nonchalant look, Chen Gong couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly in his heart. I'm afraid that only the lord can make this arrogant guy obey!
Soon, the 60,000-strong army arrived at Yanmen, and the defenders of Yanmen were still unaware of it.
An army of 60,000 captured the city gate with lightning speed, and then ended the battle in less than an hour, taking control of the entire city of Yanmen.
Why did it go so smoothly, because everyone was a Han army, and they were not guarded, and they chatted at the door, and it was okay to charge, if the Huns had closed the door a long time ago.
In this battle, 30,000 defenders of Yanmen were captured alive. The losses on the side of the Sky Wolf Army were minimal.
Starting from the launch of the Heavenly Wolf Army, in less than ten days, the Heavenly Wolf Army attacked Leping and Yanmen counties with lightning speed, and annihilated nearly 50,000 troops under Zhang Yang. Zhang Yangjun, who was taken lightly and deceived by illusions, was beaten at the beginning and had no power to fight back. Zhang Yang had only 150,000 horses under his command, of which 90,000 were stationed in Yanmen and Shangdang, 50,000 were stationed in Bingzhou, and another 10,000 were stationed in Hexi County and Shangjun. The 50,000 troops of Yanmen and Leping were annihilated, and Zhang Yang now only had less than 60,000 troops left, and with this strength, it was impossible for Zhang Yang to confront the 150,000 tiger and wolf division of the Heavenly Wolf Army.
After the wolf army occupied Yanmen and Leping, it swept towards Taiyuan, and the towns and counties along the way fell one after another. At this time, the annex was like a stone between a hammer and a felt, and it was about to be crushed into powder.
Ten days later, the 60,000 army led by Lu Bu arrived at the city of Bingzhou, and a day later, Guan Yu also arrived with 50,000 Heavenly Wolf Army.
Nearly 100,000 troops gathered under the city of Bingzhou, the banners were spread like clouds, the shouts were like thunder, and the murderous spirit was like the heaven and the earth would be destroyed. When the soldiers of Bingzhou saw this scene, they couldn't help but change their complexion.
In the past, the people of Bingzhou just listened to how brave and terrifying the Sky Wolf Army was. Now, they've finally seen it with their own eyes. Before the battle, the momentum alone is so terrifying! At this moment, they knew that the Heavenly Wolf Army was really as terrifying as rumored, and even exceeded.
Is it a war? Is it down? The soldiers of the state are thinking about this problem.
