Chapter 324: Return to Chenliu (10)
I saw blood rising!
When General Yang and Le fell to the ground, they had already turned into lifeless corpses.
With just one move, the two of them died.
The remnants of the defeated army led by the two of them all crawled to the ground in fear.
Xu Ji personally went out again, and at this moment he casually put away the silver spear in his hand and accepted the bow of the soldiers in front of him.
Just now, General Yang and Le appeared here, Xu Ji didn't have time to talk nonsense with them, and directly jumped on his horse and raised his gun, sending out a dreamlike blow, and when the two of them didn't understand what was going on, they saw a light on the other side, in this brilliance, a man and a horse loomed in it, attacking themselves. Then I didn't know anything.
died in the hands of Xu Ji, this can be regarded as the luck of the two!
The special elite was busy collecting Yuan Shu's soldiers there, but Xu Ji looked into the distance, and after a while, he saw the road dusty, and a group of people and horses came from afar.
The person at the head is none other than Ji Ling.
Xu Ji Dalu stepped forward with a smile and said to Ji Ling: "Ji Ling, you really live up to my trust, I really didn't expect you to let go of these deserters." ”
Ji Ling turned his head, looked at the Yanzhou army behind him in awe, and then looked at the soldiers in front of him and behind him, and lowered his voice to Xu Ji in admiration and admiration: "My subordinates really obeyed the lord, I really can't imagine how the lord of this iron-blooded division in front of me was trained, and using such a lion to conquer the world is really a lifelong ideal that people who lead troops to fight." ”
Xu Ji smiled: "What's so difficult about this? Are you still afraid that you won't have a chance in the future? I remember you told me that there are a large number of Yellow Turban troops in Yuzhou, and those who can be subdued will certainly be subdued. But among the stubborn ones, we must kill them. No mercy. ”
Ji Ling's eyes lit up.
Xu Ji turned his head and shouted, "The cavalry receives the soldiers." Send them to Qixiang! ”
The Yanzhou cavalry responded in unison, and the sound shook the plain. Then began the escort of the soldiers.
Looking at the distance of these Yanzhou cavalry, Ji Ling leaned to Xu Ji's side and said in a deep voice: "Lord, are we going back to Liuxian?" ”
Xu Ji shook his head and said, "No, let's go to Shangqiu first." ”
Ji Ling was a little stunned, and Xu Ji smiled slightly: "If we are all hoarded here, how will our Lord Yuan Shu escape?" So what are you fighting with that primordial prince? ”
Ji Ling suddenly smiled: "I see! ”
Xu Ji looked into the distance, and a terrifying divine light flashed in the tiger's eyes. muttered, "Bo Cai should be in Shangqiu by now, right?" ”
In the evening, outside the city of Shangqiu.
Xu Ji's 8,000 men and horses appeared in the north of Shangqiu City.
Before Xu Ji arrived, Bo Cai had already led 30,000 horses to besiege Shangqiu on all sides for half a day.
As soon as Xu Ji's army appeared in the observation line of Bocai's scouts, it attracted the attention of Bocai's army, and the horns sounded on all sides.
Xu Ji waved his hand, and the army slowly stopped, waiting for the Bocai army to greet him.
In a short time, he saw a group of men and horses rushing from the camp, and the horses' hooves were raised. Puffs of smoke and dust were like tornadoes.
Xu Ji looked at it, turned his head and smiled at Ji Ling: "The person behind Bo Cai is Zang Xuangao, the first general under Bo Cai!" ”
Ji Ling nodded solemnly, and in his heart he really wanted to see who Zang Ba, who was known as the first handsome talent under Bocai.
Bocai was followed by a few people, obviously generals in the army.
It's not even close to Xu Ji. I heard the heroic man Bocai say in surprise on the horse: "God! It's really the lord! ”
Before he could finish speaking, he saw Bocai leap down from his galloping horse like a tanuki, and fell to the ground like a fallen leaf returning to its roots in late autumn.
Ji Ling's heart jumped: Good skills!
Xu Ji smiled and said, "Bocai." How are you doing now? ”
Da Lu turned over and dismounted in laughter, and strode up with Ji Ling.
Bocai led the crowd to him. Accept yourself and bow down.
Xu Ji helped him up, and the two of them talked happily. It is extremely joyful.
At this time, Guan Hai, Zang Ba, Wu Dun, and Yin Li in the back stepped forward to salute, and Guan Hai even made an old acquaintance and introduced Ji Ling, the new general of Yuan Shu, who joined the Yanzhou Army, to everyone.
Then they waited until they entered the tent and sat down.
Zang Ba, who had been silent, suddenly looked at Xu Ji and said in a deep voice: "Lord, when will we move the army to attack Chen Liu?" ”
Everyone was stunned, now that the Bocai army is surrounding Shangqiu City, why did they have to withdraw in half a day? It's just unpredictable.
Xu Ji glanced around at everyone and said with a smile: "Those who know me, Xuan Gaoye!" ”
After a pause, Xu Ji said in a deep voice: "Yuan Shu, the disease of ringworm is not enough to worry about at all, if you want to destroy him, our army doesn't have to work hard." However, Yuan Shu is still alive and has a certain value for our army. ”
Bo Cai nodded when he heard this: "What the lord said is extremely true, and this should be divided into two aspects: internal and external. Internally, although the lord has owned Yanzhou for not too long, the area around Nanchen is subject to the lord, but there are still problems, that is, the hostile situation within Yanzhou has never been cleared, and in Yanzhou, the reform is extremely difficult. If it weren't for Yuan Shu, I don't think these families would have revealed their original forms at all this time, and would just wait and see what happened as always. ”
Everyone nodded, after all, Bocai had been in Yanzhou for a long time, and he naturally knew a lot more about the situation in Yanzhou than others. Therefore, Bocai has the most say in the Yanzhou issue.
Ji Ling has already joined the side of the Yanzhou army, and he is happy and convinced of Xu Ji's people and his affairs, and he has long regarded himself as a member of the Yanzhou army, and after today's battle, he has no separation from the people of the Yanzhou army, and he is completely integrated into it, so he said in a deep voice: "The situation in Yuzhou should be not much different from Yanzhou, the power of the family is extremely strong, if you rush Yuan now...... Hey, if Yuan Highway is on the road, then the families of Yuzhou will support Yuan Shao instead, and if Yuan Shao is defeated, they will run to support the lord, so the lord will move his troops to attack Chen Liu. Deliberately put Yuan Highway as a living road, there is Yuan Highway in. Sooner or later, there will be infighting with Yuan Benchu, at that time. The big families in Yuzhou will surface one by one, and there will be nothing to hide. ”
When Guan Hai heard this, he slapped his thigh and smiled at Ji Ling: "Ah! I didn't expect you kid to be really knowledgeable, what you said is really the same as what Xuan Gao said before he led us across the river to occupy Peiguo! ”
Ji Ling and Zang Ba glanced at each other, smiled at each other, and felt pity for each other in their hearts.
Yin Li sighed on the side: "This is the so-called 'heroes see the same'!" ”
Wu Dun nodded again and again because he felt the same way.
Xu Ji glanced at Ji Ling, and he was happy in his heart: this Ji Ling really lived up to his expectations, and his ability was indeed good. I didn't expect to see the true purpose of my Yanzhou battle in such a short period of time after joining the Yanzhou Army, and this kind of grasp of the overall situation is not comparable to Guan Hai and others.
"So," Xu Ji said indifferently, "we only have a small part of the army left here." The rest of the army followed me to Chenliu. Zhang Miao is already in our hands, if we can solve the Chen Palace, then we will really sweep away the family in Yanzhou. ”
Everyone nodded, this Chen Palace is really troublesome, now Liao Hua and Shi A surround Chen Liu and attack fiercely, this Chen Palace is not fooled, firmly occupies Guandu and refuses to send troops to rescue Chen Liu.
It is important to know that the purpose of the Yanzhou Army to occupy Guandu is secondary. If it was just to occupy Guandu, after crossing the river in Shi Ah and skillfully seizing Guandu, Xu Hao's 20,000 troops could be stationed in Guandu. But then the Yanzhou Army will not be able to receive the maximum benefits.
If this is the case, Xu Hao's army will occupy Guandu. Chen Gong would order the cities of Chen Liu's to be tightly guarded, and at that time, the Yanzhou army would even attack the city. It is also necessary to attack city by city, and to prevent the sneak attack on Xu Hao's lone army because of the echo between the cities. If one is not good, it will be a huge loss. After all, Chen Gong is a super-first-class strategist.
But now it's different, Shi A wanders in all directions, Xu Hao does not move, this is a wonderful move, this first played a role in dispersing the troops, now in addition to Chen Liu and Guandu's defenders are nearly 30,000 people, Changshe, Xu Tian, Zhongmu The defenders of the three places because of the transfer of Chen Gong and Shi A's multi-party sneak attack, now it is really pitiful, Bishui Pass is heavily guarded, the problem is that Bishui Pass absolutely does not have the courage to divide a part of the army to support various places. Don't forget that now in Hongnong County in Sizhou and Zhang Yun's army in Jingzhou, the Yu Ban army is completely likely to quietly send troops from Mianchi and Yongning to attack Bishui Pass.
Secondly, there is also an advantage that Chen Gong and Zhang Xun are now in two places, although Chen Liu and Guandu are not far away, but the two are not close to each other after all, Chen Gong does not have Zhang Xun's bravery, Zhang Xun does not have Chen Gong's wisdom, so divide and rule, of course, it will save a lot of effort to break them one by one, and it can also reduce unnecessary losses.
This game of chess can be said to be Xu Shu's brilliant stroke, under his multi-faceted mobilization, Chen Liu's Yuan Shu army is exhausted.
However, Chen Gong is Chen Gong, although he did not see through Xu Shu's entire scheme, but his overall view was telling Chen Gong not to act rashly, he was already keenly aware that this was a conspiracy, although he couldn't tell the truth.
Therefore, until now, Chen Gong has endured it hard, no matter how Zhang Xun urges him to rescue, he has pretended to be deaf and dumb in Guandu City.
And this is also where Xu Shu has a headache.
Of course, Xu Ji knew about this problem, so he snorted coldly: "Doesn't Chen Gong not want to come out of Guandu City? Hum! Now that we are attacking Chen Liu from the east, and encircling Chen Liu with Liao Hua and Shi A, we don't believe that Chen Gong can still endure it! ”
Everyone nodded.
Bo Cai smiled: "If that's the case, it's better to talk about things, I think it's enough to keep Wu Dun and Yin Li here." All of us will go with the lord, and if the lineup is stronger, Chen Gong will be fooled faster. ”
Everyone laughed.
After laughing, Xu Ji turned his head to look at Wu Dun and Yin Li, and saw that there were eager expressions on their faces, and said with a smile: "That's fine, but I don't know if there are any powerful characters in this Shangqiu City?" ”
Bo Cai knew that Xu Ji was still a little uneasy, and said with a smile: "This guard in Shangqiu City is Li Tong, the brother of Li Feng, the guard general of Dongjun, who has some skills, but compared to Yin Li and Wu Dun, it is much worse. ”
Xu Ji put his mind at ease, turned his head and smiled at the two of them: "In this way, this place will be handed over to the two of you." ”
Wu Dun and the others were overjoyed when they heard this.
Xu Ji stood up and walked to the sand table, muttered for a while, and resolutely turned back to Zang Ba and said, "Xuan Gao." You sent a letter to Gao Zihe, asking him to attack Dingtao and Juancheng with all his might. ”
Zang Ba was stunned at first. immediately understood what Xu Ji meant, and walked to Xu Ji's side immediately. said to Xu Ji: "The lord means to knock on the mountain and town the tiger now, and ask Yuan Shu to have the idea of withdrawing from Yanzhou?" ”
While speaking, everyone had already come to Xu Ji's side, looked at the sand table, and carefully played with what Bo had just said.
Xu Ji nodded with a smile.
"But ......" Yin Li, who was quite intelligent, frowned on the side and said, "Why do you want Brother Gao Shun to do it?" Isn't it okay for Zhang Yan? After all, the troops under the command of Gao Shun are already very scattered. ”
Everyone nodded.
Xu Jiha said with a smile: "I want Gao Zihe to attack the two cities with all his might, not to say that I want to conquer the two cities now, after all, Gao Zihe and the army under his command are the first in the field, and when it comes to attacking cities, it is not his forte, and now attacking the two cities is just to create a sense of crisis for Yuan Shu." Let him have a little sense of running away."
Everyone was stunned.
"And." Xu Ji said in a deep voice: "Have you ever thought about what the effect would be if you let Zhang Yan do it now?" ”
Everyone was stunned, not understanding where Xu Ji meant.
Xu Ji snorted coldly: "I'm afraid that as soon as Zhang Yan makes a move, the wise men in the world will immediately think that Zhang Yan is a fake surrender, so who in Yanzhou will have this ability to make him fake surrender?" I'm afraid that those wise people will immediately guess the fact that I, Xu Ji, am a fake disappearance. ”
Only then did everyone understand what Xu Ji was worried about.
Guan Hai scratched his head and scolded: "Mother, lord, now we are in a good situation." What if the lord's secret is discovered? Who is afraid of whom? ”
Bocai immediately glanced at him angrily and said, "Can't you use your brain more?" If the fact that the lord did not disappear is now revealed, then Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao are still fighting among themselves, I am afraid that they will immediately join forces with the big families in Yuzhou to deal with us. In that case, what is the point of all the hard work we have done today? ”
Guan Hai was embarrassed by Bocai's words. It's just a hehehe, hehe, he smirked, and he didn't have the kind of divine martial arts that was majestic on the battlefield and killed seven people in a row.
Everyone laughed at it.
Xu Ji said in a deep voice: "Bo Cai is reasonable. But I'm not just worried about the matter of Yanzhou and Yuzhou, if this matter is revealed now. Then Chang'an, I am afraid that Lu Bu and Zhang Yun will soon release their previous suspicions. If we join forces against us, we will have no basis for reaping the benefits of the fisherman. ”
Everyone admired in their hearts, but they didn't expect Xu Ji's thoughts to be so thoughtful.
Bo Cai thought further, frowned and said: "What the lord said is extremely true, since Zhang Yan's identity is very important, how will the lord arrange Zhang Yan after the Yanzhou war?" Do you want Zhang Yan to do it again at that time? The crux of the matter is that I am afraid that when Yuan Shu is defeated and leaves, there will be no internal strife in Chang'an. ”
Yin Li obviously understood what Bo Cai was worried about, and also frowned: "That's true, if General Zhang Yan had to continue to remain a traitor at that time because there was no internal strife in Chang'an, then there is no reason for us not to attack Zhang Yan, the nominal rebel army, and it would be a headache to think about it." ”
Yin Li's old partner Wu Dun clenched his fist violently and said heavily: "What's there?" Anyway, we have a lot of plays, so when the time comes, we will simply let Zhang Yan stay in Jiyin City, and we will send some troops to besiege and attack the city, and it will be a show. ”
Guan Hai shook his head on the side and said: "I'm afraid that this thing won't happen, everyone knows that Zhang Yan's army is about 50,000 people, if you want to surround Jiyin City and make a show, we must have at least 100,000 people to cooperate with the siege, so that there is a siege of the city, otherwise who can you fool?" ”
Wu Dun opened his mouth and fell silent, knowing that Guan Hai was reasonable.
Ji Ling glanced at Guan Hai in surprise, and said in his heart that although this Guan Hai was reckless, he was really a good hand at attacking the city. immediately discovered the loophole in Yin Li's words.
Bocai nodded and said, "Brother Guan Hai is reasonable. And Zhang Yan's combat style is not defensive, but non-stop sports warfare, Yin Li, you said that this method is not Zhang Yan's style at all, I am afraid that as soon as I use it, I will be recognized by others. ”
Xu Ji kept smiling at his subordinates arguing there, but there were bursts of pride in his heart: these people really lived up to their hopes, after several years of experience, everyone has matured, and their thinking and opinions have made great progress. The way of thinking about problems is no longer limited to winning battles on the battlefield, and we have learned that war is to serve politics.
Everyone was arguing there, Bo Cai turned his head to look at Xu Ji, and when he saw Xu Ji calm, he immediately smiled and said: "We don't have to argue anymore, just look at the appearance of the lord, you can know that the lord of the Dao is already confident, let's let the lord explain a thing or two for us." ”
Xu Ji looked at everyone and said with a smile: "Actually, this matter is very simple, we can let Zhang Yan and Yuan Shu escape together at that time, leave Yanzhou, and go to Yuzhou." ”
Everyone was stunned.
Xu Ji said with a smile: "Since Zhang Yan can't reveal his identity in a short period of time, then let's let Zhang Yan disguise to the end, Yuan Shu retreats, and Zhang Yan, a traitor in Yanzhou, of course, must retreat." In this way, who can say anything? ”
The crowd roared.
If you can't beat it, you can run, Zhang Yan's style is like this.
Xu Ji was unmoved, and said indifferently: "Since Zhang Yan wants to play this capricious villain to the end, then we might as well let him participate in the battle between Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao, and stir up trouble in the middle, wouldn't it be better?" ”
When everyone heard this, they looked at each other in shock.
Xu Ji's heart is really unfathomable. (To be continued......)
