Chapter 124: Guangping Frustration (II)
The visitor tied his hair with a cyan scarf, a broad forehead, attentive eyes, and a clear beard under his chin, quite a wise man's demeanor.
After just one glance, Wang Xu was already amazed in his heart, and couldn't help but pat his horse to catch up. Lang Sheng laughed and said: "Gonghe, this time I am fortunate to have your help, I can easily take Guangping and Quzhou counties, I am really grateful!" β
Hearing this, after bowing in frustration, he smiled slightly: "Why did the general say this, this is just my business." β
"Huh!" Wang Xu also smiled happily, didn't say more, looked at the army chasing the Yellow Turban in the distance, and then sighed: "I have heard of the prince and the dubious, and now I know it in person!" Your foresight is truly admirable. β
Hearing this, Fu Zhu did not show any strange look, but shook his head very modestly. smiled and replied: "The lower official just used some carving insect skills, how can it be as good as the general?" β
"Why are you so modest, I know that you are a rare genius in the world, you and I should not be so polite anymore." After speaking, Wang Xu was no longer verbose, smiled and glanced at Fu Zhi and went straight to the point: "Now that the final decisive battle is approaching, I already feel a little overwhelmed, but I know that you have a strategy to stabilize the country." So I hope you can stay with me for the time being, give me advice, strive to pacify the Yellow Turban as soon as possible, and save the people of Dawn from suffering, I don't know if you are willing? β
Wang Xu's invitation to such a broken identity made Fu Zhu a little moved, and after taking a deep look at Wang Xu, he solemnly bowed his hand and said: "The general values it so much, how dare Fu Zhu not serve his death?" β
"Hahahaha......" Hearing this, Wang Xu couldn't help laughing. Although Fu Zhu was only by his side temporarily, it was enough to make him excited, after all, for the top strategist, Wang Xu had already been thinking about it day and night, and he was dying. "With the help of the public, why worry about the yellow scarf not breaking? Walk! When we go back to Quzhou County, we will definitely ask you for advice on how to govern the country and use the army. β
Seeing that Wang Xu attached so much importance to himself, he was also very moved, and immediately smiled: "General Wen Taowu is ten times better than me, how can you say that you can ask for advice?" It's just a matter of talking to each other. β
Hearing this, Wang Xu smiled and didn't say anything more, turned his head to look at the sky, and then shouted: "Mingjin collects the troops, and the generals of all departments lead the troops and horses back to Quzhou quickly!" After speaking, he no longer paid attention to the affairs of the army, rode along with Fu Zhu, and quickly ran to the county seat of Quzhou.
After talking in detail for a long time in a study in the inner courtyard of the county government, Wang Xu really sighed. Frustration is really a talent, far-reaching, erudite and wise, whether it is the strategy of governing the country and the country, or the strategy of military battles, this frustration has its own unique side.
And Fu Zhu was also extremely surprised by Wang Xu, thinking that Wang Xu was only proficient in the way of battle formation, but he never thought that he was also extremely knowledgeable, and his thinking was unique, and he often spoke amazingly, and he had more bearing and courage that ordinary people rarely have.
The two have only met for the first time, but after a short time of talking, they are like old friends for many years. Sometimes they look at each other and laugh because they have the same opinion, sometimes they ask and answer each other to verify, and sometimes they fight over a question.
But after some discussion, they all admired each other's intelligence very much, and became more and more energetic. If it weren't for the arrival of the infantry led by the sect members, and Xu Shu came to urge the two to eat a few times, I really don't know how long the meeting would last.
After this conversation, Wang Xu thought of the tragic ending of Frustration in history, and secretly resolved in his heart that such a person must have the opportunity to show his talents, and he must not let Yuan Shao's loser play to death. And the best way is to get to yourself, so that is the safest!
And just when Wang Xu was in a happy mood, Zhang Jiao, who was seriously ill, was angry and attacked because he received the news that Guangping and Quzhou were lost one after another, and the reinforced soldiers were ambushed and defeated. However, despite this, after his condition improved slightly the next day, he immediately rushed back to Guangzong from the front line in the east and personally led 30,000 elite Yellow Turbans to guard the town.
It's a pity that seeing that the yellow scarf is gone, he is anxious, but his body is in dire condition. Although the Yellow Turban had tried their best to block the news, such a major event spread within a few days. The spies of the imperial court in Guangzong City were busy inquiring every day, hoping to get first-hand information. And the Yellow Turban soldiers were demoralized because of this news.
Of course, it is impossible for Huangfu Song and Wang Xu to let go of such a great opportunity, and Huangfu Song, who confronted the main force of the Yellow Turban in the east, called for battle day and night, and saw that the other party was holding Dazhai and not coming out, and he attacked several times. It's a pity that this last Yellow Turban was the elite cultivated by Zhang Jiao in the early days, with extremely strong combat power and a very high sense of loyalty, so it didn't have much success, but it also restrained the main force of the Yellow Turban, giving Wang Xu an excellent opportunity to create a zΓ o.
Wang Xu's movements were also not slow, and after quickly transferring Zhang Jing and Han Meng to the front line of Quzhou, he asked Jiang Qi and Jiang Yiqu brothers to lead two thousand soldiers to garrison Guangping, and left the five thousand individual Yellow Turban soldiers there. After all, it's time to fight now, and maybe they'll be holding back. As for those who were incorporated into the various ministries, there were no major problems, first, they could not be organized, second, there was the assimilation of the generals and sergeants of the various ministries, and third, the rewards promised by the imperial court were very rich.
Of course, there is a more important reason for this move, those Yellow Turban soldiers are the soldiers assigned to him and Zhang Jing, and they are really his soldiers and horses, so he is reluctant to consume them in the siege battle! Besides, Guangping is southeast of Jize and maybe Zhang Liang will also sneak attack, so the number of troops must not be less.
However, after such an arrangement, there are not many troops available in Wang Xu's hands. When Dong Zhuo was defeated and retreated to Yecheng, the capital of Wei County, there were only more than 45,000 people left in this army, and there were less than 60,000 people in the Yellow Turbans that had surrendered. Let Chun Yuqiong lead 5,000 to defend Guangnian County, and let Gao Shun bring 10,000 soldiers to respond in the south of Jize City, plus the 7,000 who stayed in Guangping, so he only has more than 34,000 people in his hands. As for the Guo Dian Department that met in Guangnian, they all stayed behind in Jize.
However, despite this, Wang Xu still has enough confidence in winning Guangzong. If there are too many people, Zhang Jiao is likely to be completely unable to defend it, which will be difficult to do. There are fewer people, but there is a possibility of luring the enemy to attack, and even if it is a strong attack, he is not afraid, as long as the siege equipment and material support are sufficient, there may not be no way. After all, sometimes in addition to his own thoughts, there are so many famous battles in history for him to learn from, and a Zhang Jiao who is sick and dying can't do it, so what else is there to fight in the world!
So in the next time, he made a lot of effort to build siege equipment, rushing cars, high oars, catapults, ladders, hook ladders, almost everything. And with the conscription orders he issued to the county governments in the rear, more and more craftsmen were brought by fast horses, and all the soldiers went into battle to help, so a large number of siege equipment had been manufactured in just half a month.
But the battle on Ji Ze's side has gradually become tense, since the fourth day when Wang Xu took Qu Zhou, Zhang Liang couldn't hold back anymore, and 60,000 troops poured out. And Guo Dian also completely followed Wang Xu's defensive policy, constantly fighting with him, and more than ten battles in more than half a month, all of which made Zhang Liang return in vain. Of course, the most dazzling among them are Zhang He, Gao Ran and Gao Shun. Not only is he brave and good at fighting, but he can always adapt to changes on the battlefield, so that Zhang Liang can't bargain for the slightest, but loses several young generals.
In the early morning of the second day of August 184 AD, Wang Xu left LΓΌ Weiheng and 2,000 soldiers to stay in Quzhou County, and let Xu Huang and Han Meng lead 5,000 elite cavalry as the vanguard, and went to Guangzong to call the war queen first. He led the main army and a large number of siege equipment to set off slowly.
Although the march was slow with a large number of siege equipment, by evening, it had already marched ten miles outside the city of Guangzong. After finding a place with flat and open terrain and slightly higher terrain, Wang Xu quickly asked the sect members to camp with a large army. And he himself took Xu Shu, Zhou Zhi and a hundred big axe cavalry to the front of Gao Shun and Han Meng's army.
As several people arrived, the center of the military formation suddenly parted a road, and Wang Xu did not stop, and after smiling and greeting the soldiers who gave way, he went straight to the front of the army.
At this moment, Xu Huang and Han Meng, who were in front of the army, were shouting at the yellow scarves on the distant city wall, and with Wang Xu's arrival, Xu Huang retreated first. He arched his hand and sighed, "Hey! We've been yelling and scolding here for a long time, but this horn won't go into battle, so I can only let the soldiers in the formation take turns to sit down and rest. β
"Hmm!" Seeing that Xu Huang was a little annoyed, Wang Xu couldn't help but smile and shook his head: "It's okay! The purpose of your vanguard was originally to suppress the other party, so as not to be suddenly attacked by the army when it was encamped, and at this moment our army has arrived and begun to camp, so the task is already half completed, and when the rear camp is set up, let's withdraw! β
"No!" Although Xu Huang responded, he was obviously still extremely annoyed.
Wang Xu smiled, and then ignored it, it's a good thing that generals have this kind of fighting spirit! On the contrary, Xu Shu, who was on the side, suddenly covered her mouth and smiled after listening to Han Meng's scolding for a long time, and couldn't help but say: "Husband, this Han Meng's scolding and scolding are all these words, and it is my words that those thieves, puppets and other things don't care at all." Let Zhou Zhi go! β
When Zhou Zhi heard this, he suddenly came to his senses, and immediately patted his chest and took over the words: "Boss, leave this matter to me, even if you can't scold him, at least it can make him angry half to death!" β
Hearing this, Wang Xu glanced at him and couldn't help nodding and said, "Hmm! Your mouth has the ability to do this, go ahead! β
"Okay!" With Wang Xu's approval, Zhou Zhi suddenly slapped his horse and rushed out under Xu Huang's confused gaze, and after walking a few steps in front of Han Meng, he immediately stopped Han Meng from continuing to scold.
And his solo appearance at the front of the army immediately attracted everyone's attention, even the yellow turban on the city wall. Seeing this, Zhou Zhi immediately coughed twice and moistened his throat.
After a moment of silence, he suddenly opened his voice and roared: "Dog's horned bastard, I greet all the women in your family, shemale Zhang Lie, you have a baby and no asshole, take off your pants and come out to let our army ......"
However, after Zhou Zhi scolded for a long time, he found that most people were in a daze, and they didn't think of that reaction in advance, so he couldn't help scratching his head and looked back at Wang Xu in the back in confusion.
Seeing this, Wang Xu smiled bitterly, and immediately said loudly: "Zhou Zhi, they don't understand such a tactful!" Be direct, explain it if necessary, and let you play today! β
"Oh! Got it! Hearing this, Zhou Zhi suddenly patted his head, and after answering loudly, he immediately turned his head and scolded with a crackle......
