Chapter 67: Xiliang Scout

"In this way, I asked Xu Chu to rush to Yingchuan with a thousand cavalry, and in the name of assisting the local defense, arrange and guide the refugees to Runan, and then let Dian Wei take people to receive the refugees in the Yuncheng and Xiping areas, register them, and then publicize our policy, and try to settle all of them in Runan.

Cheng Yu smiled, "I'm afraid the lord's intentions are not just these refugees!" ”

Liu Zhi also laughed, he really couldn't hide anything from Cheng Yu's eyes.

"Yes, I asked Dian Wei to lead troops to be stationed in Xiping, so that once the Xiliang army defeats the county soldiers in Yingchuan, we can take the opportunity to occupy the southeast of Yingchuan, so that we can form a strategic buffer zone in the northwest." Liu Zhi did not hide it and told his plan.

Cheng Yu was not too surprised, but he saw that Liu Zhi was a little negligent, so he reminded him:

"Yingchuan is too stubborn Li Min is indecisive, holding a good deck of cards in his hand, but he doesn't know how to use it, so Yingchuan must not be able to stand it, but I don't know how ambitious Guo Yan is in sending troops, if he just comes out to loot a little, then the panic caused may not be enough to drive the people of Yingchuan to flee, but if he has a big appetite, our Runan may not be very safe, this lord still has to be prepared in his heart!"

Liu Zhi snorted coldly and said, "If Guo Yan doesn't come, if he comes, then let him come and go!" ”

It turned out that after getting the appointment of the imperial court, Liu Zhi changed the Yellow Turban Army to the Runan Army, and implemented the military cantonment system in the entire Runan, except for the standing army that does not need to farm, the rest of the army is farming on weekdays, and then gathered together for training when the farmers are slack, and when they are fighting, they will be concentrated, so that although the combat effectiveness is worse than that of the professional army, it can greatly expand the size of the army and reduce military costs.

At this time, Guo Yan had already sent troops from the Tiger Pass, Guo Yan and Niu Fu, Zhang Ji and others led an army of 30,000 to the east of the Tiger Pass, but their primary target was not Yingchuan, but Zhongmu County.

The Zhongmu County Order was Chen Gong at this time, and it was obvious that Guo Yan's 30,000 troops were not coming to Chen Palace, their goal was Zhu Jun, who fled to Zhongmu.

Zhu Jun is a cavalry general, at this time Dong Zhuo was named a hussar general, the purpose is to use his fame and qualifications to help himself, but Zhu Jun is an upright person, he refused Dong Zhuo's invitation, so he was disgusted by Dong Zhuo, when the Kwantung princes jointly discussed Dong, Dong Zhuo specially left him in the Kwantung to clean up the chaos, but he did not expect the princes' army to disperse, Zhu Jun occupied Luoyang instead.

Dong Zhuo couldn't bear it at this moment, Luoyang was a throat place, if it was mastered by Zhu Jun, and then with his influence, he called on the Kwantung princes to gather again to crusade against him, wouldn't it be troublesome, so he immediately sent 50,000 Xiliang troops to attack Luoyang.

The Xiliang army in the north of Luoyang City burned to ashes, and there was no one in the ten miles and eight townships, so although Zhu Jun occupied here, he could not develop, and the 50,000 Xiliang army killed it violently, Zhu Jun naturally couldn't resist, the two armies fought one after another, Zhu Jun was defeated again and again, and even the Tiger Prison Pass was lost, and he fled to Zhongmu with only 3,000 remnants.

Zhu Jun is nearly fifty years old, he is a veteran, he is the same as Huangpu Song, he has a deep affection for the Han court, but at this time Dong Zhuo chaos, the country ****, the Han world has reached the most critical time, he is a general of the chariot cavalry, but there is no way to save Sheji in danger, and even the Son of Heaven who is in danger can not be saved, at this time he was defeated again and again by Guo Yan's Xiliang army, and he couldn't help but fall into the trough of depression and distress.

"General, now Guo Yan's army is coming, it has been out of the tiger prison in the east, it is less than 100 miles away from Zhongmu, Zhongmu County is small, there are few soldiers and generals, and the city wall is thin, I am afraid that it will not be able to resist the offensive of the Xiliang army, for today's plan is to go north, there are tens of thousands of troops of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao in the north, Guo Yan does not dare to pursue, we can save our strength!"

Seeing that the Xiliang army was getting closer and closer, Chen Gong was anxious, so he could only persuade Zhu Jun again.

Not surprisingly, Zhu Jun still rejected Chen Gong's suggestion, he said: "The king humiliates the ministers to death, and now the Son of Heaven is in trouble in Xijing, I, Zhu Jun, am a Han courtier, how can I flee in panic in order to protect myself at this juncture, I have made up my mind, and I am determined to call on the heroes in Zhongmu County to crusade against Dong Zhuo together, and if I don't kill Dong thief, Zhu Jun will never give up!" ”

Zhu Jun's expression was very firm, obviously making up his mind.

Chen Gong sighed, shook his head, and didn't bother to say any more.

A call to action? It's really too naΓ―ve, the situation is completely different from a year ago, who still cares about the life and death of the Son of Heaven among the princes of the world, although Zhu Jun is called the general of the Han Cavalry, but he has no real power in his hands, and he can't give any benefits to the princes, why should they follow your call and come over to work for you?

Zhu Jun didn't run, he Chen Gong didn't want to stay here to bury him.

Chen Gong and Cao Cao had an old relationship, and at this time, he immediately took enough silver taels, rode a fast horse, left Zhongmu, and prepared to go to Cao Cao.

It's just that as soon as he got out of the city, he was topped by several scouts of the Xiliang army, Chen Gong is the commander of Zhongmu County, the clothes on his body are luxurious, and the war horse under the crotch is also quite strong, so he was identified as a big fish by the Xiliang scouts, they followed Chen Gong for twenty miles, and when they were just about to attack him, they suddenly found that Chen Gong turned around and accelerated southward, this change disrupted the arrangement of the Xiliang army, they didn't want to kill Chen Gong, they wanted to capture him alive and then ask some news about Zhongmu City, and saw Chen Gong fleeing north, so they buried an ambush in the north, Prepare to wrap him up.

Chen Gong is alert, he has already found himself being targeted along the way, and about to the north, the more scouts appear, which makes him very surprised, it is expected that there will be an ambush ahead, so he does not dare to continue walking, it is very safe to go east, but he does not dare to go east, because there is a group of powerful bandits in the east of Zhongmu City, he can only flee to the south.

Chen Gong urged the war horses and raised the speed to the fastest, the war horses of the Xiliang Army were all selected from the horse-producing land in Hexi, and the horsepower alone was not lost to him at all, so although Chen Gong's speed was very fast, it was difficult to get rid of the scouts of the Xiliang Army.

Chen Gong was secretly anxious in his heart, if only he had found these people earlier, then he would not have been so passive, but now that the scouts of the Xiliang Army have penetrated deep into the territory of Zhongmu, then Zhongmu County will definitely not be able to go back, and if he goes south, he will immediately enter the territory of Yingchuan, and Yingchuan is very likely to be the next target of the Xiliang Army, so it is not safe. But at this time, Chen Gong couldn't think about it so much, even if Yingchuan was not safe, it was much better than losing his life now.
