Chapter 204: Zhang Yan's uneasiness
The third year of the Great Cause, December.
Zhang Shuang led the crowd to attack and merge the state, and it has been seven or eight months. During this time, a lot of things happened in the world. First of all, Yuan Shao had completely controlled Jizhou, with more than 100,000 armor, and went north to compete with Gongsun Zan for hegemony.
Cao Cao further controlled Yanzhou and Yuzhou, and his strength swelled, intending to march east to Qingzhou and Xuzhou.
Liu Bei marched east to Yangzhou, captured the counties, defeated Liu Xuan, basically controlled Jiangdong, and was planning to attack Shouchun in the north and completely control Yangzhou.
Dong Zhuo continued to attack Hedong and harassed Zhang Shuang's rear, and the armies of the two sides were deadlocked.
Go to the party and stay inside and outside the city. The armies of the two sides are still facing each other, and in the city, the morale of Zhang Yan's army lost because Zhang Yang was shot is slowly smoothed out because of the passage of time.
"Lord, the situation is very similar to what Dong Zhuo gave. Together with Dong Zhuo, we trapped Zhang Shuang's combat power, and then let the Kanto heroes annex the weak and accumulate strength. In the end, work together to eradicate Zhang Shuang and divide the world equally. Now Zhang Shuang is being dragged here by us in July and August, and the strength of the Kanto heroes has swelled. Just hold on for a while, and Zhang Shuang will be finished. ”
Zhang Yan and Sun Qing rode through and inspected the interior of the city. Sun Qing was in a good mood and said with a smile.
"The plan really went step by step, and there were no mistakes. But there was some uneasiness in my heart. Zhang Yan nodded, but there was a look of uneasiness on her face.
"The plan is ongoing, so why be upset?" Sun Qing said strangely.
"The key is when the plan will be achieved, and when will the princes of the world be able to jointly attack Zhang Shuang again. If it's fast, we'll be able to hold on. If it's slow. We may not be able to sustain our food. ”
Zhang Yan said solemnly.
"This." Sun Qingyan's heart was also tight.
"Although we have a population of more than a million people, we can supply a lot of food. But we have 90,000 soldiers. We trapped the beasts in this city. There are also tens of thousands of people. These people, trapped in the city. No time to work. It adds up to more than 100,000 people who eat white grain, which is already very difficult. And. ”
Zhang Yan wanted to speak and stopped.
"We're going according to plan, haven't we already hoarded a lot of food in the city??? Isn't that enough? Sun Qing said in surprise.
He's a brave general, and he doesn't care too much about that.
"Not enough. I'm afraid I have to transfer from the counties to Jinyang, and then escort them over in batches. And what does this mean? Zhang Yan sighed.
"This means that our food routes may be robbed???" Sun Qing's heart tightened.
"If we can't do it, we can only contact Zhang Shuang in the wild. In the face of Zhang Shuang's strong generals, there is no need to imagine the result. Immediately write to the princes of the world and ask them to act quickly. Otherwise, I'm going to be finished. Zhang Yan said.
"No."
Sun Qing promised. Immediately went down.
……………….
Han military camp. Each general commands his own army and has his own affairs. In the camp, the morale of the soldiers was always high. Inside the big tent of the Chinese army.
"Damn, watching these guys merge with all their might, my heart hurts to death. After Liu Bei annexed Jiangdong, he actually called himself the general of Zhendong, I was really angry" Zhang Shuang threw away the news in front of Li Hui and scolded.
"Liu Bei is the self-proclaimed general of Zhendong. It's not as good as the title of the general. Moreover, his annexation of Jiangdong is only a million people. General, if you annex and annex a state, you will also get millions. Overall strength. Much stronger than Liu Bei. Li Hui picked up the white silk and said to Zhang Shuang with a smile.
"Although I am strong alone, I have a large number of soldiers. But it's not as good as them combined. Liu Bei. Plus Yuan Shao, Cao Cao. Damn it. If it weren't for Dong Zhuo, Zhang Yan would be in trouble. I will send troops to Jizhou first, and after controlling Jizhou, how can there be anything to do with Yuan Shaogong and Sun Zhan. ”
Zhang Shuang said angrily.
"General, you yourself have said that the opportunity must not be lost, and it will not come again. Let's look at some of them, let's first annex and merge states. Li Hui rolled his eyes and said.
"That's all there is to it." Zhang Shuang sighed, and then asked, "Is there any news from the spies?" ”
"Yes."
Li Hui nodded with a smile.
"How's it going??? Did Zhang Yan start to escort grain in large quantities? Zhang Shuang perked up and asked.
"According to the news, he first concentrated the grain from the counties to Jinyang, and then mobilized the generals to escort it." Li Hui said with a smile.
"It would be nice if there were cavalry at this time, coming and going like the wind. Hit and leave, it's easy to rob food. Li Hui said with regret.
"Who says I don't have it anymore?" Zhang Shuang rolled his eyes and said.
"Impossible!! I am the chief bookkeeper, and if there are a large number of horses in the army, I will definitely know about the movement of horses. Li Hui screamed, then glared at Zhang Shuang and said, "The general is hiding from me??? ”
"What kind of cavalry, I'm talking about the speed army." Zhang Shuang waved his hand, and then said with a smile: "I have an infantry army, and I can walk two hundred miles a day, and it can last for seven days." Seven days can be killed from here to Yanmen Pass. ”
"No way. The infantry army walked a little more than a hundred miles a day, and it was already good. Not to mention that it is two hundred miles, and it can last for seven days???? ”
Li Hui screamed, with a look of disbelief.
"Why can't it be ???" Zhang Shuang was not convinced. Then he smiled and said, "It is said that the reason why horses run faster than people is because they have four legs, and they are stronger than people." Although people only have two legs, this congenital nature is not comparable. But with a little training, it is still possible to be stronger than a horse. ”
"The population under my rule is about 3.5 million, but the army is only close to 200,000. For other princes, the army is generally one-tenth of the population. Dong Zhuo has a population of 2 million and an army of 300,000. But Lao Tzu, I can proudly raise the middle finger to the princes of the world, Lao Tzu, my military expenditure is the first in the world. The world's largest army has not only high combat effectiveness. There are also some special armies. ”
Zhang Shuang raised his middle finger and gestured.
"What does this mean??" Li Hui tilted his head and looked at his middle finger, not understanding.
"Forget it, you don't need to understand. All you have to do is understand that I have an infantry army that can walk 200 miles in one day. And Zhang Yan also has no cavalry, in other words. My army comes and goes like the wind. Zhang Shuang put away his middle finger and said with a smile.
"I'm still not convinced." Li Hui will be skeptical.
"I have two major generals. One is Dian Wei, and the other is Zhou Cang. Dian Wei's army is also known as the Black Armor Meteor Army. Do you know what the alias of the Zhou Cang army is? ”
Zhang Shuang asked with squinted eyes.
"What?" Li Hui said curiously.
"Chasing the stars and chasing the moon." Zhang Shuang said with a smile.
"Ha !!" Li Hui almost squirted out his breakfast.
"To put it simply, it's an infantry army that is second only to cavalry in speed. And the combat effectiveness is absolutely strong. Every soldier is like an ox and fierce like a tiger. Zhang Shuang smiled, then glanced at Li Hui and said, "Don't go down yet, call Zhou Cang over?" ”
"No."
Li Hui had no choice but to promise and go down. It didn't take long for Zhou Cang to walk in.
"General." Zhou Cang saluted.
"Do you understand guerrilla warfare?" Zhang Shuang asked with a smile.
"Hit and run???" Zhou Cang said a little uncertainly.
"That's right. I will give you another 300 scouts on horseback, and you will lead your army of star-chasing and moon-chasing men and horses, and quickly go to all parts of the state to intercept Zhang Yan's army that has allocated food. Burn and run. ”
Zhang Shuang said with a smile.
"That's what the general said about the chance?" Zhou Cang said with high interest.
"That's right, as long as you pinch Zhang Yan's vital point, he is this." Zhang Shuang stretched out his little thumb and said. Then he said: "The military expenses I spend every year on the star-chasing and moon-chasing centaur army are no less than the black-armored meteor army. Now is the time for you to repay me with your legs. ”
"No."
Zhou Cang restrained his smile, promised solemnly, and went down.
"Hehe, the next thing is to wait for news." Zhang Shuang said to Li Hui with great interest.
"I still don't think it's reliable. Chasing the stars and chasing the moon!!! Li Hui shook his head and muttered.
……………
"Knock knock!"
Zhou Cang's base camp, in the rumbling drums. The soldier quickly walked out of the tent. Every soldier is very strong, especially the two legs, the absolute muscle rolling, the absolute fierce legs.
Unlike the Blackarmor Meteor Army. They were dressed in leather armor, carried bows and arrows, and carried only swords.
The blade is thin and light. But a handle is tempered and sharp. Resistant to cutting.
This knife is like the double armor of the Black Armor Meteor Army, and most of the expensive military expenses are consumed on it.
Zhou Cang snorted his armor. Step onto the point-of-the-table platform. yelled at the soldiers: "It's around here, and it's also facing Zhang Yan." The Black Armor Meteor Army became famous, and then defeated Dong Zhuo. Now is also facing Zhang Yan, it's time for us to become famous, take out your strength, take your lives, and repay the kindness of the general!!!!!! ”
"Kill !!!!"
With a sonorous sound, the soldiers pulled out the knives at their waists and shouted loudly. The blade of Senhan, the majestic body, the sharp eyes, and the spirit of the iron army filled the sky.
"Kill!"
Zhou Cang yelled, then turned on his horse and held a big knife. With only a little dry food, a group of people left the Han army camp, bypassed Tunliu City, and killed in the hinterland of Bingzhou.
The sky is blue and the sun is white, and it is swaggering.
……………….
Zhang Yan got the news, and led the generals to quickly get on their war horses and go south to the city wall to watch the situation.
"That's the word "Zhou", the flag. It is Zhang Shuang's Central Protector Zhou Cang. Zhang Yan frowned and said solemnly.
"The Zhonghu Army and the Zhongling Army are all close generals of the general, and their combat effectiveness is amazing. Zhang Shuang sent Zhou Cang to the north, it must have been the idea of beating our grain. ”
Sun Qing remembered the conversation with Zhang Yan just now, and said without frowning.
"Immediately, immediately send someone to tell the general who escorted the grain that every time the grain was escorted, there were no less than 10,000 men and horses. In addition, when encountering a weekly warehouse, you must be cautious and defensive. ”
"In addition, General Sun, you led 10,000 troops to chase it out, and followed this army with a shaking. Spy on them. Again, never go to war. ”
Zhang Yan ordered.
"No."
Sun Qing promised and went down.
"Even though it's all set, I'm still terrified." Zhang Yan stroked her heart and felt extremely intense. (To be continued......)
