Chapter 558 - Encirclement and Reinforcements

Zhao Yun's matter finally had a result, and everyone was not punished, which was a happy situation. Some Wenchen also received a reward, which made them very happy, they just wanted to prove their existence through this matter, to prove their worth, now Zhang Chao has fulfilled their wishes, what else can be corrected?

After settling the affairs of the court, Zhang Chao stepped up the preparations before the war, and at the same time he also ordered several army commanders to enter Beijing.

Zhang He, the commander of the Fourth Legion, Zhang Liao, the commander of the Seventh Legion, and Ma Chao, the commander of the Dragoon Legion, became the first batch of second-rank generals to enter the Beijing Saint.

The Celestial Empire now has more than two million troops, including one to seven legions, plus the vanguard legion, the dragon and tiger legion, the dragoon legion and the waterway legion, which are eleven, and each legion has 200,000 people, and the strength is more than two million.

This does not include all special arms such as the Zhang Family Army, the Zhang Family Special Army and the Trap Camp, if you add the Tianyan Organization, the number will be even more.

It's just that although there are many military forces, there are also many territories that need to be defended. For example, the Sixth Army is now pacifying Liangzhou; The headquarters of Huang Zhong of the Second Army was also guarding the northern part of the territory; The five legions guarded the division and guarded against Cao Cao; The Waterway Corps also needs to be trained more and ready to go south at any time, etc. And there are not a lot of mobile units that can really be used.

After thinking about it, Zhang Chao decided to take these four legions to send troops to Rus first, plus Ma Chao's dragoon army and Zhao Yun's dragon and tiger army is one million people, once something happens, you can also mobilize the three legions in Youzhou and Sanhan at any time, so that the strength is enough for the time being. At home, in addition to a few legions for defense, Lu Bu's vanguard legion is used for mobility, but whenever something big happens, they can fill the hole at any time, and it should be fine.

The strength of the defense could not be moved easily, so Zhang Chao announced that the three army commanders had arrived in Jinyang, and soon after, the three army corps began to march in the direction of Goryeo.

Originally, Zhang Chao was still having a headache about how to send the army to the front line, and in the face of the powerful Rus' State, Zhang Chao wanted to get the first move. Unexpectedly, Zhao Yun used Yu Feilong to make an article, so he just took advantage of this east wind to send the army on the grounds that he wanted to start a war with Rulou and Fuyu State.

In April 205 AD, the second year of the Celestial Empire, less than a year before the establishment of the Celestial Empire, Zhang Chao took the first, fourth, and seventh plus the dragoon regiment, a total of nearly 800,000 people (one of which stayed at home 50,000 people, but at the same time, the heavy cavalry army and the light cavalry army of the Zhangjia army sent a total of 30,000 people) from Bingzhou, heading towards Goryeo.

......

Outside the city of Ulla.

In a mountain road called Dahu Mountain, there was a huge bloody breath coming out. Looking down from the sky, you can see countless black-clothed and black-armored soldiers cleaning the battlefield, and most of the soldiers who fell to the ground were soldiers in gray military uniforms.

The people who fell to the ground and died were none other than 70,000 people in the vanguard army of the country of Lulou. They originally wanted to rescue General Mitre in Ula City, and also wanted to give the 20,000 Dragon and Tiger Legions surrounded there a dismount, but they didn't know that they had been targeted for a long time, and when they came to the foot of the Big Tiger Mountain, they were ambushed, and all 70,000 people were surrounded, and finally ended with 20,000 dead and 50,000 captured.

Now the Dragon and Tiger Legion is being ordered to clean up the battlefield, and they have to collect everything they can use.

On the side of the avenue, a group of cavalry soldiers were standing, and in the middle of the procession, a general wearing a red cloak was riding on a horse, and beside him, there was a civilian official in orange and a military general in orange.

The three of them are Zhao Yun, Fa Zheng and Han Juzi.

"General Han, inform everyone to hurry up, in five hours, there will be an army of the Lulou Kingdom passing by, don't let them find anything." Zhao Yun ordered to Han Juzi, the deputy commander of the legion on the side.

"No." General Han agreed, and then turned around to give the order.

Leaving Fa Zheng aside, looking at the corpse of Man Dao, he shook his head lightly and said, "So many people have died, just this bloody breath, I'm afraid I can't hide it." ”

"Hehe, I didn't think of a complete cover-up, but just the bloody breath can't prove anything, and it can't be said that we won the battle, right?" Zhao Yun smiled indifferently, the battle with the country of Rulou just now was very easy, and it also gave him a preliminary understanding of the combat power of this country, this is just a soldier who expands the army for the sake of expanding the army, lacks training to cooperate with it, and most of them are recruits, it is good to say that he won the battle, he can take advantage of the situation to rush forward, but when he encounters a defeat, then he can't talk about combat power.

Seeing that Zhao Yun was so light and light, he didn't care, Fa Zheng smiled and said, "The general is powerful, but you don't care if you don't know about Jinyang City?" ”

Regarding what happened in Jinyang City, they had already learned about it through channels that they couldn't do. When he knew that a group of civil officials were impeaching Zhao Yun for besieging Ula City, Fa Zheng was really frightened at that time, especially when he knew that there was actually a first-class member Lu Su among these civil officials, and he sweated for Zhao Yun in his heart.

For this matter, Fa Zheng has also been observing Zhao Yun, after all, the two will partner in the future, and it is always good to know more. It was only when he carefully observed that he was surprised to find that this General Zhao did whatever he should do, as if he was not affected at all.

And the facts have also proved that the matter of Jinyang City is just a big thunder and a small raindrop, and in the end there is no intention of pursuing it. When he got the result, Fa Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it was different to follow the First Emperor for a long time, and it would be okay to be impeached by the ministers.

The Fa Zheng who sighed didn't know that Zhao Yun did this, it was his business.

He knew about Zhang Qiang, and he also knew about Zhang Chao's use of troops abroad, even so, as a minister, he should relieve the emperor's worries, which led to the move of besieging Ula City.

The reason why Zhao Yun is not afraid is also because he is dedicated to the country and does not have any selfish intentions, he does not want to prove anything with this, nor does he have the intention of supporting the army and self-respect, so it is no wonder that Zhang Chao will not be embarrassed by him.

Of course, it is impossible to say that there is no selfishness at all. And Zhao Yun's idea is to use this matter to prove himself. He knows that he has always been unconvinced by the fact that he was named a first-class military attaché, and now he needs to do something, and use practical actions to tell those who still have wrong intentions that the First Emperor of Heaven is not wrong to look at people, and he can become a good one-pin, which is indeed his own ability.

The best way to prove it is to solve the two big troubles of Rulou and Fuyu before Zhang Chao arrives, and when the time comes, he has made such a great contribution, and see what others can say.

Of course, with the 200,000 people of the Dragon and Tiger Army against the hundreds of thousands of horses of the two countries, there is still a big gap in terms of military strength alone, but it is precisely because of this that the completion of this matter shows how great the credit is.

In fact, Zhao Yun did the same. First, it surrounded the city of Ula, but it was indeed besieged but not attacked, and then the main force of the Lou State was brought to the rescue, and the plan to encircle the point and send reinforcements took shape.

Just like now, after annihilating the 70,000 vanguard troops sent by the Rulou State, I'm afraid that even if this is the case, no one will think that he dares to take the initiative. After all, in the eyes of many people, the main force of the Dragon and Tiger Legion is still near the old imperial city of Maru and Goryeo, because it is indeed the main force of the Dragon and Tiger Legion here, but it is far less than as outsiders seem, and there are only 10,000 soldiers in a city, led by another deputy commander, General Zhou Cang.

The main force of the Dragon and Tiger Legion did all come to Ula City, except for the 20,000 people who were still besieged the city, the other 160,000 people all came to the vicinity of the Great Tiger Mountain to set up an ambush.

When the main force of 160,000 suddenly came out, it also caught the country by surprise, and achieved the brilliant achievement of destroying 20,000 enemies and capturing 50,000.

The captives have been sent back by a division and 10,000 cavalry to the pill, and with these people, they can better disguise themselves and convince others that the main force of the Dragon and Tiger Legion has not moved, and at the same time, they can quickly replenish the source of troops from the captives, and these things are enough for the deputy commander of Zhou Cang to do.

Zhao Yun's plan was bold, but because it was bold and full of its feasibility, it was at least supported by the military advisor Fazheng.

If you want to win more with less, then you have to make a risky move. Fa Zheng believes that Zhao Yun's strategy includes a variety of tactics such as urgency, surprise, and waiting for work, which is feasible.

"Strategist, the battlefield is almost cleaned, let's prepare the second step." Zhao Yun saw that the corpses on the battlefield were almost moved, so he said to the military master Fazheng on the side.

"Okay, then we'll wait for the enemy to enter the urn, hahaha." Fa Zheng was also laughing heartily at this moment, at this moment he felt that it was very happy to fight with Zhao Yun, at least people could listen to any of his proposals, not at all like Dong Zhuo at the beginning, arrogant, and finally defeated and captured. And the most important thing is that the soldiers of the Dragon and Tiger Legion are well-trained, fight battles, fight to the death, and the military orders are issued, no one dares to disobey the order, just from this point of view, I don't know how much stronger than the Yongzhou soldiers at that time, and even the Yizhou soldiers can't compare with it.

The reason why a powerful military advisor can give full play to his ability depends on whether his advice is adopted.

With such a general who can fight, and such a brave soldier, plus a reasonable strategy, Fa Zheng really can't think of any reason why they can still be defeated, maybe here again will create a miracle of winning more with less.
