Chapter Forty-Six: The Soldiers Sent to Puyang

After listening to the civil official's account, Wu Yi also had a certain understanding of the bad battle situation in Puyang. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The county guard Qiao Mao abandoned the city before the Yellow Turban Army besieged the city, and the defenders in the city failed several night raids, resulting in a small number of soldiers suffering heavy casualties, and had to rely on the wealthy family to organize family soldiers to help defend the city. At this moment, Yu Poison is leading his Yellow Turban Army to besiege Puyang on all sides, if the nearest Chen Liu does not send troops to rescue, with the current low morale in Puyang City and the difference in the number of people several times, I am afraid that it will not last long and it will be declared lost.

Zhang Chao's meaning has been very clear, he is Captain Chen Liu, not Captain Puyang, and his duty is to guard Chen Liucheng. At present, Chen Liucheng is the military rations transfer station of Zuo Zhonglang's general Huangfu Song, and for the sake of tens of thousands of soldiers on the front line, Chen Liucheng must not make a mistake.

Unlike Zhang Chao, Wu Yi was a general subordinate to Zuo Zhonglang's general Huangfu Song, although he was left behind to temporarily train the thousands of sergeants, Huangfu Song also said that Wu Yi could be allowed to mobilize this group of sergeants to fight the Yellow Turban Army around Chenliu County.

Since the imperial court officially sent troops to quell the rebellion, Lu Zhi was in charge of the Jizhou battlefield in the north of Chenliu, and Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song were in the Yingchuan and Nanyang battlefields in the south and east. The only ones that could pose a threat of war to Chenliu County were the Yellow Turbans of the Northwest Counties of Yanzhou and the Yellow Turbans of Qingzhou.

And if Puyang, Dongjun is captured by the Yu Poison Department, the hundreds of thousands of people in the city do not know how many people will be coerced into the new Yellow Turban Army. If you sit back and watch the poison swallow Puyang and even the entire Dongjun, maybe one day it will be time for Chen Liujun to face the countless Yellow Turbans.

"I'll go and prepare now, and I'll take seven thousand soldiers to Puyang early tomorrow morning." Although he was a little resentful of Puyang County's failure to save Qiaomao before, but now that he was facing Puyang's request for help, Wu Yi quickly made a decision that defending against the enemy outside the country was the best way to defend, for the safety of Chenliu County, even if it was a little difficult, Puyang still had to be saved.

Not to mention how grateful the civil officials of Puyang were, Wu Yi hurriedly returned to the mansion and asked Cheng Xun and Xu Shu to rectify the army, and he went to inform his father Wu Ke of today's events.

"Didn't the imperial court send a three-way army to quell the rebellion? The yellow turban thief has his own official army to clean up, why did I go to this troubled water to go to Puyang for an adventure? Thanks to the exploits of his eldest son Wu Yi, his father Wu Ke has been radiant in recent days, but when he heard that his son was going to Puyang to fight against the Yellow Turban Army in the Drug Department, he couldn't help but try to persuade him to dispel this idea.

Wu Yi sighed: "According to the latest information, there are more than 200,000 Yellow Turban troops in Jizhou and nearly 100,000 in Yanzhou. There are more than 100,000 in Qingzhou, more than 100,000 in Yuzhou, and more than 100,000 in Jingyang Prefecture. Although the armies of the imperial court were superior to the Yellow Turban Army, the total strength was only 100,000. The huge disparity in numbers is not something that these blades of armor can easily compensate. In this case, it is extremely rare that the three major armies of the imperial court can temporarily block the three Yellow Turban armies of Jizhou, Yuzhou, and Jingyang. Don't expect that there will be imperial soldiers to exterminate the Yellow Turban Army in other places in a short period of time. ”

"I heard you say that the soldiers and horses in Chen Liucheng are only in their early 7,000s, and the Yellow Turban Army of the Poison Department can besiege Puyang Jiancheng, at least tens of thousands. Later, there were more Yellow Turban troops in the northwest counties of Yanzhou and hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban troops in Qingzhou. It's not for my father to say sad words, but just with your thousands of people, how useful can you be? ”

Although Wu Yi had previously defeated tens of thousands of Yellow Turban troops in Bian Xi's army with fewer victories, the danger suffered by Wu Yi was by no means summed up in a few frivolous sentences afterwards. Before, he still had to fight because he was afraid of the family industry, but now that most of the Wu family's property in the county has been moved to Chen Liucheng, Wu Yi is going to Puyang, Dongjun to work for others, which is unacceptable to Wu Ke, who is his father.

Wu Yi knew his father's love for him, but some things could not be solved by escaping: "The Yellow Turban Army is not evenly armored, and the reason why it can wreak havoc in various states and counties is precisely because every time they capture a city, they will coerce the people in the city to become the new Yellow Turban Army." And there are more than 100,000 people in Puyang City, once we sit back and watch it fall, one day when hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers come to Chenliu, who will save us? ”

Wu Ke couldn't help but be silent when he heard this, the most terrifying thing about the Yellow Turban Army was its number, and the current imperial court had only recruited more than 100,000 troops and horses to quell the rebellion, but the Yellow Turban Army was often tens of thousands, but it made the imperial court army really a little lacking. The group of Yellow Turban Army in Puyang, Dongjun County is the only threat around Chenliu County, if they really sit back and watch these Yellow Turban Army capture Puyang, who dares to say that they will not turn around and attack Chen Liu?

"Father rest assured, the child will be cautious when he goes, and he will never go to danger unless he has to." In order to avoid his father's worries, Wu Yi solemnly promised.

Wu Ke knew that his child was already very assertive, and seeing that Wu Yi had made up his mind, he no longer continued to persuade him: "Don't stay in the barracks tonight, let's go to a family banquet together." ”

"That's how it should be." Wu Yi also wanted to get together with his parents and sister before the expedition, so he naturally responded to his father Wu Ke's proposal.

Early the next morning, Wu Yi went to the military camp outside the city accompanied by Dian Wei. Since yesterday I received the news that I was going to go to Puyang, the soldiers in the camp had already prepared their armor and blades, and at this moment, under the leadership of their respective teams, they were gathering from the camp tent to the martial arts arena in an orderly manner.

"I've seen the lord." Xu Shu rushed from Dianjiangtai after seeing Wu Yi and his entourage, and at this moment, Xu Shu, who was wearing a delicate Han army armor, seemed to have a bit of the temperament of a famous general in the army, compared to the down-and-out appearance of a prisoner back then.

"Yuan Zhi has worked hard, have all the sergeants been put in order?" Wu Yi turned over and dismounted, and helped Xu Shu, who fell to the ground.

"Back to the lord, except for more than 300 old and weak people who have been eliminated, all the 7,286 people in the camp have been gathered, and all the grain, grass and ordnance have been packed up, and they can march to Puyang at any time." Xu Shu has been busy for a day and a night since yesterday, and at this moment, in the face of Wu Yi's inquiry, he can finally give a satisfactory answer.

Wu Yi nodded, he was extremely satisfied with Xu Shu. Although Xu Shu was just a ranger wanted by the government before, with these days of hard study and battlefield experience, Xu Shu has gradually grown into Wu Yi's most relied on confidant. In history, Xu Shu was just a military advisor and strategist who had achieved academic success, but under the guidance of Wu Yi, Xu Shu had developed into a commander and general. Maybe a few years later, in the troubled times where this group of heroes gathers, there will be a Xu Yuanzhi Xu Dudu who is no less than Mei Zhoulang, and all because of himself!

Thinking of the smugness, Wu Yi raised a smile at the corner of his mouth, and then went to the front of the general stage of the martial arts arena surrounded by everyone, pulled out his long sword and pointed straight to the northwest: "The Yellow Turban thieves are now besieging Puyang City in Dongjun, and tens of thousands of people in Puyang City are looking forward to the arrival of reinforcements day and night. God bless the man, this battle will be won! ”
