Chapter 180: Knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger to deter Li Le

"My lord, if the Jizhou Black Mountain Army is defeated, what will be the result? Is it good for our army? ”

Zhou Yu smiled slightly, and explained directly to Wei Tao.

"With the current situation, if the Jizhou Montenegrin Army is defeated, it will first surrender to the Yuan Army, especially that Li Le, the bandit leader Zi'er, how can he take care of any reputation, and the second is to flee to Youzhou, and then to take refuge in the Youzhou Montenegrin Army, which is originally the same root and the same origin. What does it have to do with me and the state army? The lord wants to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, not want to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger swallow the sheep. ”

Wei Tao was slightly silent, and after thinking about it for a while, he found that things were really like this, if he continued to sit and watch, then it would really not be of any benefit to himself.

"And what if you attack the Montenegrin army?"

After a slight silence, Wei Tao still asked, although he would not disobey people, but also Wei Tao would not be biased to listen and believe.

"Huh...... The lord should also be a Zhilu Dao, Zilong and I have helped the Black Mountain Army, and there is nothing else, but it is normal to put some people in it. ”

Zhou Yu smiled slightly, and told some of the arrangements he had made in the Montenegrin Army in the past.

"Although some people have been transferred to Youzhou, and some have died, the remaining few people can still be a small leader. Although a small leader can't get some big things, if the Jizhou Black Mountain Army is defeated and surrenders, these people will be able to win over some people. More importantly, now that Hejian County has fallen into the hands of the Jizhou Black Mountain Army, once they surrender to the Yuan Army, with the former prestige of the Yuan Army, I am afraid that they will soon be able to gain a firm foothold. But if our army also accepts the Montenegrin army. It's just that you can stalemate with it. In the end, the final battle is decided by soldiers, so we have to do it. ”

"Lord, what Gong Jin said is extremely true. As for the lord's fear of betraying the alliance, to be honest, our army has never had any alliance with the Jizhou Montenegrin Army, and there is nothing to talk about betraying the alliance. ”

Zhuge Jin understood Wei Tao's worries, and added at the moment.

"And if you can get the three counties of Changshan, Zhongshan and Hejian, then you can get half of Jizhou. At that time, even if Yuan Shao comes in person, he can compete with Yuan Shao. Since the lord is interested in Jizhou, then he has to do it. ”

Wei Tao nodded slightly, politicians are selfless, since Wei Tao is now the master of one party, then some things cannot be too scrupulous.

Really speaking, Wei Tao is also irresponsible to the people by sitting back and watching Li Le wreak havoc in Jizhou, but if it is not so, the continuous military disasters may even displace the people.

"Okay, as several military advisors said, attack the Montenegrin army."

Wei Tao is also extremely decisive. Now that the decision has been made in my heart, there will be no hesitation, and the opportunity is to order.

"There is also a Zhongshan County between Hejian County and Changshan County. The Zhen family in Zhongshan is a big family in Jizhou, and Gongda has dealt with it before, and this time Gongda went to go. If it is said that the Zhen family still had some scruples before, it is still normal, but now that the Yuan army has been defeated, if he doesn't help again, then he will send Miss Zhen back for me. ”

During this period of time, Zhen Mi only rested in the tent, and almost never went out, of course, with Wei Tao's protection, no one bothered her.

If the Zhen family really didn't make a decision this time, then Wei Tao would not embarrass the other party, but as long as Wei Tao was there for a day in the future, the Zhen family wouldn't want to live a better day.

So Xun You nodded slightly to approve of this, he had some friendship with the Zhen family, and this time he went in person.

As for the other matters concerning the transfer of troops, they all decided after discussion, and then they acted separately.

"Mr. Gongda, please stay."

Just when Xun You was about to go to Zhen's house again, the maid beside Zhen Mi came, and then handed Xun You a letter.

"Mr. Gongda, Miss also understands what Mr. Gongda went to the Zhen family this time, and Miss has made it clear to her: This is the time of life and death of my Zhen family, so I revised a letter and asked Mr. Gongda to transfer it on my behalf. Although the young lady is still young, she can still speak a little bit in the Zhen family, and I hope this letter can help Mr. Gongda. ”

Hearing this, Xun You couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

It is not difficult to know that Wei Tao's next target is Zhongshan County, and it can be guessed only from the transfer of troops, but this is also a very attentive person who can pay attention.

Not to mention that he can still have foresight, knowing that this is the last opportunity for the Zhen family, it can be seen that Zhen Mi is extraordinary, and what makes Xun You quite shocked is that Zhen Mi has no intention of leaving, this is to show her determination to the Zhen family.

"It is rumored that there was a great drought in Jizhou, Miss Zhen suggested opening a warehouse to release grain, and the consequences won the hearts of the people, the identity of the Zhen family has been prosperous for a long time, and now it can be seen that this is indeed the case, Miss Zhen Mi is really sensible!"

Xun You sighed, and then said to the maid.

"You are replying to your young lady, it is my Xun Gongda who has the help of Miss Xun Gongda on this trip, and it will be successful, and Miss Lao Zhenmi has put a lot of effort into it."

"Yes, sir."

This time, as soon as Xun Yu arrived at the Zhen family, he was immediately greeted by the Zhen family, and he was politely invited in.

Then Xun You opened his mouth to say this, and the Zhen family only hesitated slightly, and quickly agreed.

Obviously, the people of the Zhen family naturally saw the situation clearly, at least now it is Wei Tao's side that is closer to Zhongshan County.

Although the Zhen family is a big family in Jizhou and has a lot of strength in Yecheng, its foundation is still in Zhongshan, so the Zhen family has to help Wei Tao at this time.

With the help of the Zhen family, several counties in Zhongshan County directly surrendered, even if there were those loyal to Yuan Shao, after a little resistance, they withdrew their troops and left, and in just half a month, Zhongshan County fell into the hands of Wei Tao.

And in the past month, Li Le couldn't support it.

Although the number of Jizhou Black Mountain Army is still huge, its logistics can no longer support it.

This time, Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang adopted a stubborn strategy, and slowly consumed the army with Jizhou Montenegro. The other party is very easy, but it can't be supported.

"My lord. Now the Jizhou Montenegrin Army has been trapped here. When one fell swoop. ”

"Good! Tell me that all the armies will go to the river! ”

Wei Tao had already prepared for this, and when he heard what Zhou Yu meant, he understood that now the Jizhou Black Mountain Army could no longer support it, and I was afraid that Li Le had already sent someone to talk to Yuan Jun.

Prepared, Wei Tao directly led 10,000 troops to Hejian City.

However, Wei Tao made such a move, and suddenly Yuan Jun did not dare to continue to hold on. The same led 30,000 troops again, only Jizhou Montenegro, with nearly 100,000 troops, did not dare to go out of the city and held on, so that the two armies were in a situation of flanking on the left and right.

However, in this way, the situation that either side could directly attack the city seems to have become a hostage by one side, so that the city can take a breath.

But it's a pity that Li Le didn't be able to take a breath. Only on the second day, Yuan Shang sent an envoy to arrive.

The purpose of the messenger's arrival is one. Let Li Le surrender.

To tell the truth, Li Le is really unwilling to surrender, and his dream of surrendering in the Spring and Autumn Period is about to be shattered.

"Leader Li, you also know the strength of my lord, the first prince in the world. Now I have sent the eldest prince to lead the army back, and this time it is not only ordinary people who accompany the army, but also my Hebei general Yan Liang. That Wei Tao was only arrogant because no one in our army could control it before, but now like this, he can't do much. ”

I have to say that there are many talents under Yuan Shao's command, even the little envoy sent by Yuan Shang can also be said to be fantastic, at least Li Le is tempted.

I'm afraid it's always better under Yuan Shao than under Zhang Ning's mother-in-law, right?

"Report! Big things are wrong! ”

Unfortunately, at this moment, a guard just ran in in a hurry.

"Report to the big leader, the state army is ready to attack the city!"

"What!"

Li Le was immediately shocked when he heard this, and everyone couldn't help but stand up directly, but after all, he was a person who had been a leader and fought a tough battle, and he quickly calmed down again.

"The Bingzhou army only arrived yesterday, and I'm afraid that even the camp has not been completed, how can it be that the leader comes?"

"Yes! It's true! Or the leader will know the way when he looks at the city gate! ”

Hearing the report of the guards, Li Le didn't care about Yuan Shang's envoy, and immediately went to the west gate to board the city gate to have a look.

"Knock knock ......"

Countless drums shook the sky, 10,000 soldiers and horses lined up, and several generals in front of them in gold helmets and silver armor were majestic.

"Is it really going to siege the city?"

Li Le immediately gasped, even if he saw it, he felt that it was very similar.

Suddenly, the drumming stopped, and then the horses rushed out and approached the city wall, raising their spears and shouting loudly.

"Listen to the people on the city wall, I am Pan Zhang, Pan Wenqi, the pioneer under the account of General Jizhou Muwei, and now Li Le's atrocities are raging in Jizhou, disturbing the peace of the people under my rule, and I swear to kill him! However, if others have been innocent, if they immediately abandon their weapons and surrender, then they can spare their lives, if they don't listen, don't blame me for not being prepared! ”

"Bastard! Come on, shoot me! ”

Li Le's face darkened, and he immediately gave an order, and with an order, countless arrows rained down, but Pan Zhang was prepared, and as soon as he turned his horse's head early, he was out of the range of arrows.

As soon as Pan Zhang retreated, the rain of arrows stopped.

There are not many powerful weapons such as bows and arrows in the Jizhou Black Mountain Army today, and even Li Le does not dare to waste them at will.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

At this moment, a sound sounded one after another, and at the same time, a team of thousands of people came out in order.

Just looking at the momentum, it seems that every drum beats, this team of people is a step forward.

However, just by looking at its slow marching speed, you can know that this team of men and horses did not come to attack the city, and there was no such attack method for the siege.

"What is this doing? The queue shows me? ”

Li Le just muttered to himself.

At this moment, I saw that the thousands of people were all armed with bows and arrows, and then shot violently.

This archery method is hanging shooting, but the general hanging shooting does not have such a reason for archery, shooting from the top to the bottom is naturally powerful, but from the bottom to the top, unless it is extremely careless, otherwise it will not be hit by the arrow.

And even if it is an arrow, this force is already gone, and it can't hurt anyone at all.

In fact, the situation is the same, but the state army just shot this arrow, and immediately retreated, which is a little inexplicable.

"What is this doing?"

Seeing that the Bingzhou Army turned out to be in a position to stop fighting, Li Le also muttered to himself.

"Big Chief, something is wrong!"

But soon someone came to report it.

"Great Leader Qiqi, there are letters of persuasion tied to those arrows, and now the matter has spread in the city!"

"What!"

Li Le immediately scolded, this is what Wei Tao's idea is.

Just when Li Le was depressed, Wei Tao smiled at the generals in the tent at this time.

"This hand can also be called knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger, that is, I don't know when the road will be able to lead the snake out of the hole."

Since Zhou Yu ambushed someone in the Jizhou Montenegrin Army, they are bound to take advantage of this momentum to cause some incidents, and it is just when Wei Tao can better incorporate the Jizhou Montenegrin Army.

"It's going to be fast, since the lord has already made it clear that I will not welcome the Montenegrin Army, then Li Le will not be able to wait for the price to sell, and he will definitely fall to the Yuan Army quickly."

Xun You said with a slight smile.

However, at this time, the other generals were a little confused, looked at each other, and Zhao Yun thought about it and asked.

"The lord and the military advisor, since Li Le already has the intention of surrendering, why can't the lord tolerate it? If the lord is willing, there should still be a few chances with the ability of a few military advisors. ”

"Huh...... Zilong, some things are not so simple. Indeed, once Li Le is surrendered, then the situation in Hejian County is certain, even if it is our army, it will have to suffer a little strength. But is Li Le so easy to surrender? ”

At this time, Zhou Yu smiled slightly and said to Zhao Yun and other generals.

"Not to mention anything else, just the crimes that Li Le committed in Jizhou during this period of time are enough to make the people of Jizhou hate, once they are surrendered, the people of Jizhou, who have already lost confidence in the Yuan family, may turn into hatred for the Yuan family. Even with the reputation of the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, it is impossible to resist. ”

"Speaking of which, among the princes of the world, that is, the two brothers Yuan Benchu and Yuan Highway, care most about such faces, just like Li Le, who was born as a bandit, has always been looked down upon by them the most. Unexpectedly, Yuan Shao's son was so mediocre, in order to sweep away the defeat of the lord, he couldn't even take care of these faces. ”

Zhuge Jin also shook his head at this time.

"Yuan Benchu has a son like this, and it is difficult to achieve any great cause." (To be continued......)
