Chapter 615: Appeal to Terror
Han, the fourth year of the first peace, the second day of the fifth month, the land of Jianghuai rose again. After resting in Tancheng for two months, Qingzhou, which had completed the reorganization, raised its whole army and marched southward, and the troops were directed at Xiapicheng!
For the world's leaders, this matter is both expected and unexpected.
On the side of the couch, how can others be allowed to sleep soundly, Liu Bei's move of inserting a bar is undoubtedly a major provocation, Wang Yu is such a person who must be revenged, how can he let Liu Bei go freely?
However, the heavy weapon of the militaristic state cannot be swayed by personal emotions after all. Although Wang Yu acted very domineeringly, every time he raised troops, he often had a very specific purpose, even if he seemed to have no plan to go north to help the war, now it has become a far-sighted strategic decision-making example, which has been analyzed and studied by many military artists.
In addition, Wang Yu's previous rationality and restraint were also very deceptive.
What's more, due to the tandem of Chen Gong, Xu You, Chen Deng's father and son, some conspiracies brewing in the shadows have almost become open secrets, and due to Yuan Shu's sudden defection, Wang Yu may also be aware of it.
If he knows and understands what it means, Wang Yu should know very well what kind of big change it will be, and the situation in the entire Hebei may be reversed!
On the eve of a great change that could happen at any time, brazenly sending troops?
Is Pengju Kid crazy again? This is the first exclamation issued by many people in the know.
Did Yuan Shu talk about righteousness for the first time, or did Peng Ju take it as a bluff strategy? There are many speculations, but no matter what everyone thinks, the facts are irreversible.
After the reorganization, the East China Sea Yulin Army reached 12,000 people, divided into two armies, left and right.
The Left Army was composed of the Langya Yu Forest Division, which was selected and supplemented. A total of 5,500 foot soldiers and 500 cavalry. The foot soldiers had five hundred heavy armor, a thousand bows and crossbows, and the remaining four thousand were spear-wielding long soldiers; The right army is composed of the remaining troops of Tancheng and the Danyang army, the size is also 6,000, all of them are infantry, but the types of troops are extremely diverse.
There are heavily armored sword and axe hands, less armed sword and shield soldiers, spears, long lances, iron halberds, heavy hammers and sticks, axes and hooks and forks. There was even a small group of people who used the Qimen weapon of the Iron Tribulus Bone Duo as a weapon...... It didn't look like the 6,000-strong troops were going to war, but rather like they were going to have an armed parade and an arms show by the way.
Of course, if someone is because of the various weapons of the right army. It would be a big mistake to underestimate them.
Although the configuration of these thugs is very chaotic and strange, their queue is neat and terrifying. Even in the process, it is as neat as a knife, if it weren't for the uneven length of the weapons that ruined the beauty of the team to a certain extent, the appearance of this strong army. It was completely out of the left army, which had been reorganized for two years.
In this world, only Danyang can form an army so quickly and form combat effectiveness.
It's a pity that in the smoke of troubled times. The ending of the warlike Danyang soldiers was not so good.
In the middle and late Three Kingdoms, the Soochow regime, which occupied Danyang County, had to repeatedly relocate and immigrate from other places in order to ensure the population size of Danyang County. The people of Danyang, who really have a tradition of conquest, long before this. It's already ten rooms and nine empty. This strong army disappeared into the long river of history without a sound and never reappeared.
But at this moment, the reorganization and deployment of this army brought the world's heroes not sighs, but shocks.
What is even more shocking than the southward movement of the Qingzhou Army is the echo of Que Xuan's troops.
After Tancheng was wantonly exploited by Wang Yu, the private soldiers of the Que family were no longer of their previous scale, however, Que Xuan was like a naughty boy who remembered to eat and not to beat, and was completely subdued by Wang Yu's strategy of slapping a sweet date.
Almost at the same time as the Qingzhou Army marched south, Que Xuan once again set off from his hometown of Quyang, and led 2,500 men and horses to Cao Bao to defend Xiaxiangcheng, posing to cut off the connection between Xiapi and Guangling.
Although he only had 2,000 soldiers, no one dared to underestimate him.
Since the negotiation has been smooth, in the end, Wang Yu raised his noble hand and only asked for five hundred heavy armor from Que Xuan, and he paid very happily. Therefore, although Que Xuan's strength has shrunk, there are still 1,000 and 5 of the most powerful heavy armor infantrymen, and the rest are 1,000 strong crossbowmen.
With such an army, no matter how small the number is, who would dare to underestimate him?
After the news spread, Xia Xiangcheng was shocked three times a day, and the guard general Cao Bao even warned all parties at a frequency of more than five times a day. said that it was all parties, but in fact, the only people he could sue now were Liu Bei in Xiapi and the Chen family in Guangling.
For Cao Bao, the spring and summer of this year was like a nightmare that he couldn't wake up toβa vague defeat, a huge momentum, an inexplicable collapse of an alliance with many members, and some powerful members turned against each other! Is there a way to continue living these days?
Actually, he wasn't very worried about Que Xuan.
Although this former Son of Heaven's soldiers are excellent, they have never experienced a real war, although Cao Bao only has more than 2,000 remnants of the defeated army, but he is still sure to hold the city. Although Xiaxiang City is not big, it is not something that can be surrounded by 2,500 foot soldiers, as for the Qingzhou army...... Isn't that Liu Bei in the way?
What made him uneasy was Yuan Shu, a capricious and despicable villain!
This villain also responded to the southward movement of the Qingzhou Army, and he didn't just clap his hands and applaud, he really moved!
The Huainan army was divided into two routes, Lei Bo and Le led an army of 10,000 to the north to attack Pengcheng, which was defended by Zhang Fei; Zhang Xun and Chen Ji's 8,000 army marched eastward along Suishui, starting from the worry, attacking all the way, and the soldiers pointed directly at Cao Bao's lower minister!
Along the way of Zhang Xunjun, only Suiling was garrisoned by Liu Beijun, and such a border fortress was completely empty. Even if it is Suiling, the guard is just a nameless yellow turban thief, and the soldiers and horses he brings are only 500, and he can't count on it. For Cao Bao, he will fall into the danger of being attacked from both sides at any time, how can he not be in a hurry?
Within five days of the beginning of the war, Cao Bao was not only in an emergency, but also scolded. The one who scolded the most was Yuan Shu, followed by Wang Yu and Liu Bei, and most of the urgent letters were sent to Guangling, at this time. Only the Chen family is worth relying on.
However, it is useless to scold, and it is useless to be in a hurry.
It is impossible for a person to be scolded to death or wounded; Although Chen Deng's father and son are very resourceful, they are only local tyrants after all, and their intelligence sources are limited, so they are completely unprepared and caught off guard for the current sudden situation, so where can they talk about dealing with it?
As for Liu Bei, he wrote to comfort Cao Bao every day. Tell him to have faith, to muster courage, and to persevere is victory or something. Of course Cao Bao doesn't eat this set, if it is useful to shout slogans, why do you need the army? Now it's a life-and-death contest with real swords and real guns. Shouting these empty slogans, is it useful?
Among the many bad news, the only thing that gave him some comfort was that the enemy troops on the three routes were not advancing fast, especially the Qingzhou army, which raised troops first.
It had been five or six days since the war began, and their vanguard arrived at Liangcheng and officially launched a siege on Xiapi. At least ten days later. The two allied forces of the Qingzhou Army seem to be waiting for news from the main battlefield, and after Zhang Xun captured it, he has been holding back; Lei Bo is still wandering around Wuxian County, a hundred miles away from Pengcheng. All at a safe distance.
Only Que Xuan was in a hurry, rushed to the east bank of Surabaya early, and confronted Cao Bao in Xiaxiang City. Cao Bao had little interest in gnawing on Que Xuan's hard bone, but Que Xuan refused to stop. While facing the challenge of showing off the strength of the defenders, while calling friends. Calling on local heroes to join the ranks of Liu and present their names to the Qingzhou Army.
Although the Que family pretends to be high and rarely interacts with other wealthy families, since they drink the same river, it is impossible for the Que family to be truly independent of the place. In the past two months, Li Bin has also jumped up and down, and the most important thing is that the huge offensive of the three armies has frightened many people.
As a result, more and more wealthy families responded to Que Xuan.
On the one hand, they sent people to Liangcheng to meet them, and on the other hand, they also organized their own private soldiers, and converged to the lower prime minister from all directions to meet with Que Xuan.
Most of these wealthy families are not big clans, and their strength is relatively limited, but there are many of them. Each family sent a few sons and brought dozens or hundreds of soldiers, twenty families were more than a thousand people, and two hundred families were tens of thousands of troops!
That's right, when Cao Bao finally found out that something was wrong, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses had gathered outside the city, and the city of Xia Xiang was surrounded by water, and only the waterway could still pass, but looking at this posture, the waterway was blocked, that is, it was a matter of three or five days.
Cao Bao was so shocked, he almost didn't fall from the city!
He regretted it, and almost regretted his intestines.
If he knew that Que Xuan's waste could make such a big move, he should have taken action as soon as possible - it is not possible to strike first against Que Xuan, this bone is too hard, even if it is a sneak attack, it will not take much advantage. Cao Bao wanted to slip away as soon as possible, no matter what, go to Guangling first to avoid this catastrophe.
But now, it's too late to say anything.
According to the current evolution of the situation, before Wang Yu and Liu Bei can decide the winner, Xia Xiangcheng will have to explain first.
Who would have thought that so many families would be blinded by lard, because Wang Yu's mouth was a little loose, and they rushed to work? Who would have thought that in such a short period of time, Wang Yu would actually bewitch so many people and have such a terrifying appeal?
It's not that he Cao Bao doesn't work hard, it's really the enemy who is too demonic!
Since the connection with Guangling has been cut off, Cao Bao has no way to surrender, he can only send a message to Liu Bei in despair, hoping that the other party will try to save him, at least he can have a companion or something.
As a result, Liu Bei's reply arrived the next day, and there were no longer those vain scenes and slogans, only a concise and murderous sentence: You can choose the elite, and the battle will be decided!
ps: The appeal of pig's feet is very good, and the small fish are very ordinary.
The master in front of him had about the same number of votes as Xiaoyu not long ago, and there were more than 100 small fish thrown in a single chapter, and he couldn't even see the shadow, which was elegant. Xiaoyu has a single chapter, and there are only 10 votes in the afternoon, and the voters are all familiar faces.
Very relieved, but also very frustrated, it seems that the character is really not good, even if you work with illness, never keep changing, you can't compare to the real master.
I won't write it today, but I'll read the masterpieces of the masters, and see how good other people's books are, and how bad Xiaoyu's writing is.
