Chapter 632: The letter is trapped
Tian Feng frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then agreed, there are 20,000 defenders in the city, and 1,000 people out of the city are nothing, and the thieves are raging around Xindu, if Yuan Shao comes back, Xu You will say something in front of him, it will still be a little troublesome, and Tian Feng has a deep understanding of Xu You's mouth.
"Well, then send a thousand people out of the city to suppress the thieves."
"Lord Tian understands the righteousness so well, the businessmen of Jizhou will definitely be grateful to Dade." When the matter is done, Xu You doesn't mind touting Tian Feng.
"Wait." Xu You was about to go out, and when he heard the shouts from behind, he thought that Tian Feng had noticed something.
"Is a thousand enough?"
Tian Feng's next words, so that Xu You's heart suddenly fell, and Tian Feng after a pleasant greeting, sent the soldiers out of the city, the general who led the troops, is Xu You's cronies, before leaving, Xu You told the generals to be sure to follow Gan Ning's instructions.
The general is Xu You's confidant Xu Guang, who is his hand, and he is also a clansman, so Xu You is also very relieved, otherwise he will offend the Xiliang Army, and after Jia Rong occupies Jizhou, he will settle accounts with him after the autumn, and the gains will outweigh the losses, since he has decided to belong to the Xiliang Army, Xu You does not plan to do anything halfway, and Yuan Shao's demeanor in the coming of the war made Xu You more determined to take refuge in Jia Rong, the city guarded by 80,000 people, was afraid of more than 30,000 Xiliang Army, and it was a big joke to spread it.
Let's say that after Xu Guang left the city, he followed the road instructed by Gan Ning, and went all the way, and when it was dark, he still did not reach the location of the so-called thieves, so he was inevitably a little unhappy.
"My lord, when will we be there?" Xu Guang stepped forward and asked.
Gan Ning said with a smile: "Don't worry, the thieves are still a distance away from us, let the brothers relax, don't be nervous, those thieves are just more than a hundred people, Lord Xu asked me to bring you here, in fact, so that you can have some military exploits, and when the lord returns to Xindu in the future, you will be rewarded for your meritorious deeds." ”
Xu Guang was overjoyed when he heard this, and thanked him again and again, but Gan Ning's words made him look down on Gan Ning a little, and he had no cultural connotation.
It was completely dark, and Gan Ning saw that the soldier's face showed a tired look, and ordered: "Rest here tonight, and wait until tomorrow before leaving." ”
Gan Ning's words made the soldiers in the team secretly breathe a sigh of relief, if they march all the way to the place of the thieves, I don't know if they still have the strength to fight the enemy, they are soldiers in the army, and in the face of the wolf-like thieves, there is still some fear in their hearts.
In the middle of the night, the camp was so quiet that a team of more than 1,000 people came from outside the camp, and no soldiers noticed.
Gan Ning drugged the soldiers' meals, and the soldiers fell asleep with their heads down, and they were still unconscious.
Xu Guang didn't eat a meal with medicine, and when he saw so many unfamiliar faces suddenly appear in the army, he immediately pulled out the saber at his waist and shouted, "Who are you?" Come on, take these out. ”
Gan Ning flashed out from behind and said with a smile: "General Xu doesn't need to shout, all my people here, honest cooperation, your glory and wealth are indispensable." ”
"You?" Xu Guang looked at Gan Ning in disbelief, and before leaving, Xu Yu repeatedly told him to obey Gan Ning's command.
"That's right, I guess Lord Xu also said something in front of the general." After Gan Ning finished speaking, he turned his eyes to Xu Huang and said: "General Xu, hurry up and order the soldiers to act, everything is tonight, and there is no room for error." ”
When the sky was about to get dark the next day, Xu Guang led nearly 800 soldiers to return victorious, and the dried blood stains on the soldiers' clothes showed that they had indeed experienced a big battle before, and even the flags were a little dirty.
As the person in charge of the city, Tian Feng naturally had to conduct a strict inspection of the troops entering the city, even if these soldiers had walked out of the city before.
After seeing the situation of the soldiers, Tian Feng couldn't bear to let the team stay outside the city overnight, and ordered to open the city gate and let the team enter the city.
After Gan Ning and Xu Huang mixed into the army, they did not take immediate action, with Xu You's cooperation, they only needed to firmly control Tian Feng, and then issue an order, blindly relying on brute force to do things, it would not work.
"My lord, I want to see you." When the guards heard that it was Xu You coming, they hurriedly went to Tian Feng's residence to make a report.
"Let him in." Although the city of Xindu is stable, but there are a lot of trivial matters, Yuan Shao is fighting with the Xiliang army in the front, and the allocation of grain and grass materials and other issues have to go through Tian Feng's hands, and for more than ten days in a row, Tian Feng has not slept anymore.
"Lord Xu came so late, I don't know why?" Tian Feng asked without raising his head.
"Coming for the matter of Jizhou." Xu You said lightly, without the slightest respect in his tone.
"Oh." Tian Feng put down the things in his hand, raised his head and glanced at Xu You, looked at the person behind Xu You, and asked puzzledly, "Who are these two people?" ”
"Gan Ning, the general of the Xiliang Army."
"Xu Huang, general of the Xiliang Legion."
The two reported to their homes, so that Tian Feng didn't react for a while, and after a while, they pointed at Xu Huang and Gan Ning and said, "You are from the Xiliang Army?" How did you get in? "Poor Tian Feng, I still don't know that Xu You has secretly connected with the Xiliang Army and sold Jizhou.
"It was Lord Ben who brought them here, and I have something important to discuss with Lord Tian." Xu Youdao.
"You, if you sell your lord for glory, you will be despised by the people of the world." Tian Feng gritted his teeth and pointed at Xu You and said, I am not afraid that the enemy is strong, I am afraid that there will be internal ghosts in my own camp and collude with the enemy.
"It's up to Lord Tian to worry about Lord Ben's affairs." Xu You said coldly, some time ago, he had been bowing his eyebrows to Tian Feng, and he was already a little angry in his heart.
"Lord Tian, the matter has come to this point, it is better to hand over the power in your hands, so as not to look bad at that time." Xu Huang stepped forward and said, "For a talent like Lord Tian, it would be better for King Liang to personally send it when the time comes." ”
Tian Feng was unwilling, glanced outside the door, and his eyes rolled slightly.
"Lord Tian doesn't have to think about anything else, even if you shout and break your throat, I'm afraid there won't be a soldier coming to the rescue." Gan Ning smiled.
Weakly took a few steps back, Tian Feng's face turned pale, could it be that Jizhou's years of hard work were in vain because of Xu You's rebellion, he knew very well that if the power was in the hands of Xu You and others, what would be the consequences, Jizhou would face a catastrophe.
The order from Jizhou, quickly sent to various places, after receiving the order of the boss, the county commander of the county everywhere did not doubt him, stuck to the city, and constantly transported the grain and grass to Xindu, at this time in the critical period of the war, the news of the Jizhou army's victory on the front line, but it was boiling in Jizhou.
After the grain and grass gathered in Xindu, there was no order issued, so in less than seven days, Yuan Shao on the front line became anxious, grain and grass are the foundation of the army, without grain and grass, no matter how strong an army is, there is only one way to lose.
"What's going on with Tian Feng? For so many days, no food or grass has arrived. "The Jizhou army has been smooth sailing these days, and I didn't feel anything in the first few days, but now the grain and grass in the army are only enough for three days, and once there is a problem with the grain and grass, the war will not have to go on.
"Lord, maybe it's a delay on the road, Lord Tian has always been cautious in doing things, and I don't think there will be any mistakes." Fu Zhu stepped forward, for Tian Feng's character, Fu Zhu knows very well, is upright, and is a trustworthy person.
"Well, let's hope so, order the soldiers to go to Sindu to get food." Yuan Shaodao.
Jia Rong, who was outside the city, glanced at the letter in his hand and handed it to Guo Jia, with a smile on his face.
"Congratulations, my lord, getting Jizhou is just around the corner." Guo Jia said.
"Well, after occupying Jizhou, you are all meritorious heroes." Jia Rong said with a smile.
The generals in the field are unknown, so the special methods of the Xiliang Army to deal with Jizhou can only be known by a few high-level figures.
"Ladies and gentlemen, tomorrow we will attack Julu with all our might, and reinforcements will arrive in three days." Jia Rong said.
People are in good spirits on happy occasions, and now Jizhou is already under control, just drag Yuan Shao down, and the Xiliang army will no longer have to hide clumsy.
The Xiliang Army, which had been cowering in the barracks for several days, was dispatched, which made Yuan Shao slightly surprised, and at the same time, he did not doubt him and ordered the army to come forward to meet him.
It's just that the result of this battle made Yuan Shao a little unacceptable, the Xiliang army dispatched five hundred cavalry, killed a thousand infantry on their side, and left no piece of armor, and there were only more than 200 soldiers who returned to the city, and the speed of the cavalry was fast, and many soldiers were cut off by the cavalry before they could return to the city, and they chose to surrender outside the city.
Two days later, Yuan Shao couldn't sit still at all, the grain and grass in the army were completely cut off after today, and there was still no news from Xindu, no matter how he persuaded him, Yuan Shao couldn't put his mind at ease.
"My lord, why don't you send General Yan to Xindu to investigate." Frustrated.
"Well, without further ado, let's go today." Yuan Shao said urgently.
"Order the counties of Julu to escort grain and grass to come, and don't slack off."
The defenders in the city did not know that the army was about to run out of food, and they were still discussing the recent wars, during this time, the Jizhou army had the upper hand, but yesterday's battle was defeated by the Xiliang army, and more than 700 soldiers were left outside the city.
There was a large amount of grain and grass hoarded in the city of Xindu, and within a few days, with the help of Xu You, Xu Huang and Gan Ning temporarily controlled the army in the city, and almost all the generals in the army were replaced by people from the Xiliang Army, which was estimated to be the fastest promotion in the history of the Xiliang Army.
