Chapter 891: Yao Xiang is ready to move
The transport fleet of Yan Kingdom has just set off, and it ushered in the downwind weather, the distance of more than 100 miles is not very far for water transportation, and this time it is a tailwind, for this reason, only a few hours later, the transport fleet of Yan Kingdom arrived in Donglai County, Qingzhou, and stopped at a ferry port in Donglai County.
At this time, near the ferry, Yao Chang and his 5,000 men and horses had been waiting for a long time, and they were very happy to see the arrival of the Yan fleet, and immediately boarded the Yan country's transport ship, unloaded a large number of weapons and military salaries from the transport ship, and moved them to the baggage cart that had been prepared for a long time.
It turned out that when Yao Xiang learned that Murong Jun was going to go by sea and land and transfer a large number of weapons and military salaries to Qingzhou, he was very afraid that these materials would be robbed by others, so on the one hand, he constantly sent his subordinates to Yan State to inquire about the situation of these weapons and military salaries, and on the other hand, he sent his younger brother Yao Chang to Donglai County in Qingzhou with 5,000 men and horses, so as to prepare to receive the materials transported by Yan State at any time.
After accepting Yao Xiang's order, Yao Chang immediately led 5,000 men and horses to Donglai County, and stationed at the northernmost ferry port of Donglai County.
They waited in Donglai County for seven or eight days in a row, and now, when they finally saw the weapons and military salaries sent from the direction of Yan Kingdom, they were naturally very happy, and immediately moved this batch of materials to the baggage truck.
Yao Chang walked in front of a baggage truck, reached out and picked up a brand-new ring knife, frowned at it, and then talked lightly with his fingers.
The brand-new ring-headed knife of "......" made a crisp and melodious sound under the impact of Yao Chang's fingers.
"Well, what a good knife! It seems that the blacksmith of Yan Kingdom still has two sons. Yao Chang was full of praise for the ring head knife in his hand.
"General. You see, these are freshly minted silver ingots, dozens of boxes full! A subordinate picked up a silver ingot, handed it to Yao Chang, and said happily.
Yao Chang took the silver ingot in the hands of his subordinates and looked at it carefully. Nodding with satisfaction, Zhengse said: "With this batch of silver ingots, our army won't have to worry about military salaries for the time being, it's really good." ”
"General, King Yan is really generous enough, he actually gave us so many weapons and military salaries in one go, if they are distributed to the army, each soldier can receive a new weapon, and the military salary is enough for our army for a year." A subordinate general looked at Yao Chang. Said happily.
Yao Chang smiled, and said: "What is such a little weapon and military salary, for Yan Guo, these things are just a penny, when our army defeats the Yanzhou Legion, will we ask Yan Guo for more weapons and salaries?" At that time, our army will be even stronger. After speaking, he looked at the generals.
When all the subordinates heard this, they were all very excited, and they remembered the strength and majesty of the future.
"General. Our army has received so many weapons and salaries, is it to expand the army? Or save it first. "A subordinate. looked at Yao Chang and asked softly.
Yao Chang shook his head and said loudly: "This question, the general doesn't know, it's all up to the chief general, let's take these weapons and military salaries first." Let's transport it back to Taishan! After speaking, he looked at his subordinates.
"Yes, General." The subordinates received the order and immediately led the soldiers under their command to transport the weapons and salaries that had been loaded onto the transport vehicle to the direction of Taishan County.
Donglai County is also hundreds of miles away from Taishan County. A few days later, Yao Chang and his 5,000 soldiers and horses transported the weapons and military salaries from the direction of Yan Kingdom to the direction of Taishan County, and hoarded them in Fenggao City.
After settling down these weapons and military salaries, Yao Chang happily went to Yao Xiang's mansion and reported to Yao Xiang.
"Fifth brother, the weapons and military salaries transported from the direction of Yan have all been transported into the city, and now our army is developed." Yao Chang walked into the main hall of Yao Xiang's mansion and said happily.
Yao Xiang naturally knew it for a long time, after all, it was impossible for his henchmen under his command not to sue him immediately.
"You have done a good job, with this batch of weapons and military salaries, the strength of our army can be greatly enhanced! God help me. Yao Xiang clenched his fists as he spoke.
Seeing Yao Xiang clenching his fists, Yao Chang immediately guessed that Yao Xiang was likely to use troops in the direction of Yanzhou, so he immediately said: "Fifth brother, are you planning to attack in the direction of Yanzhou?" After speaking, he stared at Yao Xiang tightly.
Yao Xiang nodded lightly, and said: "That's right, the last time our army failed to hit the Yanzhou Legion hard, we hastily withdrew our troops, because our army was weak and there were many defects in weapons, I was worried that I would lose to the Yanzhou Legion, so I withdrew, now, our army has received so many weapons and salaries, and its strength has been greatly enhanced. ”
"Great, fifth brother, when will our army launch an attack on Yanzhou." Yao Chang asked loudly.
Yao Xiang thought for a while, and said: "There are more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in Yanzhou, and they cannot be defeated lightly. ”
"What the fifth brother said is that our army should indeed plan well." Yao Chang echoed casually.
Yao Xiang said softly: "If our army wants to launch a large-scale attack on Yanzhou, first of all, we must find out where the various armies in the direction of Yanzhou are deployed, how many soldiers and horses, and what is the combat strength?" Secondly, our army must also be strictly prepared for war, and expand a certain number of troops and horses, so that the strength advantage of the Yanzhou Army will become wiped out, and finally, we must also try our best to confuse the Yanzhou Army and make the Yanzhou Army think that our army will not attack them. ”
"Fifth brother, leave the task of preparing for war and expanding the troops and horses to me! I'm sure I'll be able to do the job well. Yao Chang clenched his fists and asked Yao Xiang for his life.
Yao Xiang nodded and agreed: "Okay, the task of expanding 20,000 soldiers and horses, and training the main army will all be handed over to you, you must do a good job." After speaking, he patted Yao Chang on the shoulder.
"Well, fifth brother, don't worry, I won't let you down." Yao Chang said confidently.
Subsequently, Yao Xiang immediately dispatched a large number of meticulous workers to the direction of Yanzhou to investigate the deployment of various soldiers and horses in Yanzhou, and at the same time, let Yao Chang be responsible for distributing new weapons to various teams, and in addition, recruit 20,000 recruits in various locations in Qingzhou and train them on the spot.
Of course, in order to confuse and not stimulate the Yanzhou Legion, Yao Xiang scattered all the main forces under his command in different positions in Qingzhou for training, so that the number of soldiers and horses in Taishan County was relatively small, and the threat to Rencheng was naturally much smaller, which could create an illusion for the Yanzhou Legion, making them think that the soldiers and horses in Qingzhou had been dispersed and had no intention of attacking Rencheng.
In this way, under the unified deployment of Yao Xiang, all the soldiers and horses in Qingzhou conducted pre-war training in different positions in Qingzhou, and the newly formed 20,000 recruits were also completely scattered in many locations for training.
Yan Guo allocated a large number of weapons and military salaries, and successfully transported them to Qingzhou, such an important matter, naturally could not escape the eyes of the fine work sent by Hua'an, for this reason, Hua'an soon learned about this matter, and attached great importance to this matter.
After all, the situation in the direction of Qingzhou is related to the overall situation, if the Yao Xiang Legion in Qingzhou is annihilated by the Yanzhou Legion, Hua'an's situation will be greatly favorable, and if the Yao Xiang Legion defeats the Yanzhou Legion, then Hua'an's situation will be precarious, for this reason, Hua'an must not let Yao Xiang's Qingzhou Legion win, otherwise, he will be very dangerous.
In order to deal with the possible actions of Yao Xiang's army after receiving a large amount of assistance, Hua'an hurriedly summoned his subordinate generals to discuss countermeasures.
After some discussion, Hua An and all the generals under his command believed that after receiving so much aid, most of the Yao Xiang Legion would take a desperate move, and believed that it was necessary to remind the soldiers of the Yanzhou Legion to prepare for the attack of the Yao Xiang Legion.
After studying Yao Xiang's possible actions, Hua An immediately sent his henchmen to Yanzhou to tell the generals of Yanzhou that they must be prepared to guard against the attack of Yao Xiang's army.
However, even so, Hua'an is still a little uneasy about the generals in the direction of Yanzhou, after all, Yao Xiang is very good at fighting and cunning, if Yao Xiang really does his best to attack in the direction of Yanzhou, Wang Wu and the generals of Yanzhou, whether they can arrive is really unknown.
Hua'an can't afford to lose, so he must not let the Yanzhou Legion lose to Yao Xiang's Qingzhou Legion.
After most of the generals left, Hua'an left only Wang San and Zhuge Xiong, and continued to discuss the situation in the direction of Yanzhou with the two of them.
"Your Majesty, Yao Xiang suddenly got the direction of Yan State, such a large amount of assistance, the growth of strength is very great, this is indeed a great threat to my Yanzhou Legion, should our army reinforce Yanzhou in advance?" Deng Qiang looked at Hua An and asked.
Hua An thought for a moment and said softly: "What General Deng said is yes! This question, this king has also been hesitating, however, the naval army in the direction of Luoyang City has not yet been fully trained, this king is worried that if the army is increased in Yanzhou, in case the Jingzhou army takes a risk, Luoyang City will not be dangerous. After speaking, he looked at Deng Qiang.
Deng Qiang hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, our army and the Jingzhou army are both the armies of the Great Jin, and right now, the Jingzhou army seems to have no reason to attack Luoyang City!" There is absolutely no need to worry too much. ”
Obviously, Deng Qiang felt that the Jingzhou army would not take a risk and launch an attack in the direction of Luoyang City.
Hua An shook his head, and said with a straight face: "The so-called crime of wanting to add is no excuse, as long as the Jingzhou army wants to attack Luoyang, are you afraid that you won't find a reason?" We must not be careless! (To be continued......)
