Chapter 189: Changes in Yanzhou (24)

After we had rested in the villages along the way, we continued our march towards Chenliu. At that time, Zhang Ji's soldiers and horses had not been able to capture the city, so he planned to go east to attack the Waihuang City for more than 100 miles. At this time, we happened to be passing by, so we met them.

I probed the situation a little, and then said to Qin Yi and Zhang Xiao: "When they attack the city in a while, you two will lead all the infantry to attack from behind; I led the cavalry into the enemy's line from the flanks to take the head of the enemy's commander. ”

The two replied, "The last general understands. ”

Subsequently, we proceeded as planned. When Zhang Ji learned that there were soldiers and horses attacking the back of his army, he couldn't help but immediately feel suspicious. Immediately, when he learned that the enemy army was only a few hundred, he immediately relaxed, and then sent Hu Che'er to lead a thousand soldiers to meet the battle. Subsequently, Hu Che'er was defeated and fled back, and the 1,000 people he brought with him were almost slaughtered.

Zhang Ji couldn't help but be surprised, so he asked Hu Che'er: "Can you know whose part is coming?" ”

Hu Che'er replied: "General Hui, there is no cover in the enemy's formation, I don't know whose troops it is; Those people are all fierce and brave, especially the two young generals in the lead, who are powerful in martial arts; If the last general hadn't escaped in time, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to come back to see the general. ”

Zhang Ji couldn't help but say in surprise: "No cover? It can't be a part of Shaoran, right? ”

At this time, Zhang Xiu on the side suddenly said: "Uncle, look, those people have been killed!" Looking at their outfits, it should be a few parts. ”

When Zhang Ji heard this, he couldn't help but look back. He immediately frowned, and before he had time to think about it, he said, "Pass the order, collect the troops and return to the camp!" ”

Zhang Xiu couldn't help but ask with some surprise: "They are only a few hundred people, why do they want to collect troops?" ”

Zhang Ji said: "Although they are few in number, they are not comparable to ordinary warriors; What's more, that Shaoran has not yet appeared at this time, so he must be ambushed somewhere, waiting to attack us. ”

At this moment, a soldier suddenly rushed over: "Report! Report to the general. A few miles to the north, a cavalry is coming towards the flank of our army! ”

When Zhang Ji heard this, he hurriedly said: "I'll just say that this is that Shaoran's strategy; Quick, pass on my military order, collect troops and return to the camp! ”

At this moment, before I led the crowd to kill him, that Zhang Ji immediately retreated. This can't help but teach people how to say, the eight achievements are the legendary "king and overlord qi". The so-called tiger body was shocked, showing the true character of the hero. Well, it's okay to think about this kind of thing. But don't take it too seriously.

Then, after a slight pause, we launched an attack on Zhang Ji's camp. Zhang Ji did not dare to stay long, and led his subordinates to quickly retreat to Jiyang City in the north. Immediately, we returned to Waihuang City to garrison. At this time, Zhang Ji heard that Li Dao and Guo Yan were fighting in Chang'an, and it seemed that they were fighting each other, so he led his subordinates to return to Chang'an to mediate the conflict between the two.

After learning that Zhang Ji had withdrawn from the army. I immediately sent someone to Chenliu to inform Zhang Miao, and asked him to move all my troops and horses to the eastern city with me, and concentrate my forces to fight guerrilla warfare against the combined forces of Yuan and Cao. So, Zhang Miao asked his younger brother Zhang Chao to lead his family to retreat to Yongqiu City in the south. He took Gao Shun, Zhang Liao and thousands of soldiers and horses to Waihuang to join me. After that, we headed together for Rencheng County to the east.

At this time, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao had divided their troops to pacify the counties in Jiyin and Shanyang counties, and sent additional men and horses to garrison several cities around Rencheng County. A joint offensive was launched against Bong-sien. Although Feng Xian repelled their attacks several times, the losses of his men were not small, and he had no choice but to give up his father. Make every effort to surrender the city.

When I arrived with my troops, Feng Xianzheng was fighting against Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's soldiers and horses. I launched an attack from the rear on the opponent's camp, and in a short time broke through the opponent's camp. Because the grain and grass in the rear were cut off, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao led the troops to retreat and retreated to Jinxiang City in the west.

After that, I captured Kang's father, swept away all the supplies inside, and then abandoned the city and joined forces with Fengxian. Later, Feng Xian and I took turns to lead the crowd to attack several surrounding cities that were captured by the other party, and swept away all the materials in the city, and then returned to Rencheng.

At this time, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao felt quite a headache about the guerrilla tactics used by Feng Xian and me. If they want to send troops to intercept us, if they send too many of us, they do not confront them head-on, but take a detour to attack the cities behind them; If there are fewer people, they will not be able to stop our offensive at all; If we send troops to attack the cities behind us, we will always come back in time to help. Therefore, the two of them are very helpless at the moment.

Subsequently, Feng Xian and I planned to march north to attack the cities in Dongping. Everywhere they passed, they all diverted the materials in the other city's city for their own use. Of course, we will not rob the people's homes, and there is no need to rob them.

At that time, Xuchang County ordered Gao Ya to raise troops in response to us. At this time, we also grabbed some supplies from the other side, so we can try to change our tactics. Immediately, Feng Xian appointed Zhang Liao as the minister of Dongping, and led his troops to be stationed in the city of Bianqiu, which was more than 80 miles away to the north, echoing with Gao Yayao, and was responsible for the strategy of the three counties and countries in the east of Yanzhou.

Then we held another meeting to discuss the next steps.

Chen Gong said: "Now the territory in our hands is only the territory of Rencheng, Kangfu, Fanxian, and Fangqiu, and the defense line can be described as very weak, and the troops in our hands are only enough to protect ourselves; If you want to defeat the Yuan and Cao coalition forces, you need to move reinforcements elsewhere; Now that Xuzhou is close at hand, I think I can ask Liu Xuande, who took over Xuzhou at this time, to send troops for assistance. ”

Zhang Miao couldn't help but nod and said, "Yes, Liu Xuande has also opposed Yuan Shao and Cao Cao in the past; As the so-called cold lips and teeth are cold, I don't think he will refuse to form an alliance with us. ”

"Hmm." Bong Xian nodded, thinking that the proposal was good. Then he asked: "Then who should we send to Xuzhou?" ”

Then I said, "If we are to make an alliance with them, it would be better for you, brother, to do it yourself; In this way, we can show our respect, and the chances of success in the negotiations will be greater. ”

Zhang Miao couldn't help but say again: "Then Liu Xuande claimed that after King Jing of Zhongshan, he was also a royal noble, and he really couldn't be taken lightly to negotiate this time; I have also had fellowship with him, so it is better for me to go to the meeting with General Lu and persuade him to form an alliance with us. ”

Feng Xian nodded and said, "It's okay." ”

At this time, Chen Gong said again: "By the way, I heard that Liu Xuande was happy to have a son not long ago; It is better to bring Mrs. Lu and Miss with you, if you can marry him, I think he will be willing to send troops to help. ”

Zhang Miao couldn't help but look moved when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "The public station's proposal is really good, I think it's feasible." ”

Feng Xian pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, just follow what Gongtai said." ”

At this point, I couldn't help but groan to myself. Feng Xian will marry Liu Bei? This doesn't seem to have seen a similar record in the history books, but since Feng Xianhui called Liu Bei his younger brother in history, he shouldn't have called it out randomly. This is also very good, if you can firmly tie the relationship with Liu Bei, it is equivalent to fundamentally changing the direction of history, then the future development will inevitably be very different.

However, after Gao Ya defected, Cheng Yu, who was stationed in Zhangcheng in the south, immediately dispatched Yu Ban to crusade. Gao Yayi held on to the city, and was unable to capture it for a while. At that time, Cao Cao also ordered Xiahou Yuan, who was stationed in Juye, to lead his troops north to help in the war.

Originally, Zhang Liao got the news and planned to send troops to rescue Gao Ya, but he happened to encounter Xiahou Yuan's troops halfway, so the two fought. At that time, Zhang Liao attacked from behind, Xiahou Yuan failed to guard in time, and then after a confrontation between the two armies, Xiahou Yuan was defeated and retreated. Zhang Liao took a little rest and continued to go north, but before he could reach Gaoya, he was already broken by Yu Ban. Immediately, Zhang Liao had no choice but to lead his troops back to Defective Hill. (To be continued......)
