Chapter 270: Reunion
Flags were hunting in the wind, and an army was gradually revealed from the front.
Three hundred cavalry roared in, and Gan Ning rode his war horse and galloped quickly.
Deng Dang followed with 300 armed men.
Four hundred crossbowmen strode forward under the leadership of Jia Nian.
Today's troop allocation is the result of detailed discussions between Jia Nian, Lu Su and others.
"Who is coming, and why are you blocking the way of our army?" As soon as Gan Ning pulled the reins, all the three hundred horses stopped.
Liu Ye looked at this army, and saw that most of them were third-order elites, and gradually showed a satisfied look.
Who would have thought that Changhe Town, which had only a hundred soldiers at the beginning, could have the power at this time.
"Liu ......, the clan of the Han family," Liu Bi said loudly.
The sound of horses' hooves interrupted Liu Bi's voice, and Jia Nian, who noticed the abnormality, rode a war horse and walked over with Deng Dang.
"Don't be rude, this is my friend Liu Ziyang, a clan relative of the Han family" Seeing Liu Ye standing in front, Jia Nian was overjoyed and hurriedly turned over and dismounted.
Gan Ning was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly dismounted.
"It turned out to be Liu Junshi, and the last generals Gan Ning and Deng Dang visited the military division" Gan Ning and Deng Dang bowed.
The soldiers of Zhongchanghe Town shouted at the same time: "Meet the military advisor"
"Strategist?" Liu Ye's eyes flashed with incomprehension.
Jia Nian explained: "Ziyang doesn't say goodbye, I don't dare to forget Changhe Town for a day"
"What does this have to do with the position of military advisor?" Liu Ye's heart was inexplicably warm, and there was a faint look of expectation.
Jia Nian explained with a smile: "The reason why Changhe Town can have today's power is because Ziyang made plans to swallow Chaohu Lake in one fell swoop."
"And Ziyang's household registration is in my Changhe Town, in order to exterminate Chaohu, can't he be qualified for the position of military advisor?" Jia Nian asked.
Then the pride in my heart increased greatly: "Now I have 2,000 people wearing armor in Changhe Town, with a population of tens of thousands, although I can't say anything ambitious, but I can also keep one side peaceful."
"What's more, Zijing sits in Anhui County and Chaohu Lake, recruiting displaced people, and when he returns, five thousand soldiers and horses will be there in the palm of his hand," Jia Nian said, revealing a sincere gaze.
Liu Bi, who was standing beside Liu Ye, couldn't help but smack his tongue, not that Jia Nian had many troops in his hands, but that he was amazed at the development speed of Changhe Town.
It's only been a long time, and I can't imagine that Jia Gongzi actually gathered 2,000 soldiers and horses.
Liu Ye smiled and did not give a definite answer, but diverted the topic: "Zijing said in the letter, you came here because of Gepo Yellow Turban"
"Exactly" Although Jia Nian was a little disappointed, he quickly adjusted his mentality, and some things had to be done slowly.
Liu Ye asked: "Then do you know the real situation in Yuzhou?" ”
"I would like to hear about it," Jia Nian replied.
Gan Ning and Deng Dang also showed expectant eyes at the same time.
The imperial court sent Bao Hong, the captain of the cavalry of the Xiyuan Army, to lead 10,000 troops to Gepo, but he set up camp on the downhill slope forty miles away from Runan City, forming a corner with Runan. Then he sat back and watched as Gepo Yellow Turbans withdrew their troops from various places, and remained indifferent."
Liu Ye paused slightly, and then continued: "Every day, I reached out to Runan to ask for food, revealing an insatiable look."
But Yuzhou was already dilapidated, and it could not afford the food of more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in the Tuncai battalion, so Bao Hong and Yuzhou Thorn Shi were almost in flames. For example, today, there are ten messengers urging food, and almost every half hour, they will come to ride," Liu Ye said.
Jia Nian gradually fell into deep thought.
"Could it be that Bao Hong's army is really short of food?" Jia Nian asked.
Liu Ye nodded, and then shook his head: "There is neither a shortage of food nor a shortage of food."
"That?" Jia Nian was a little confused.
Liu Ye saw that Jia Nian was confused, so he asked: "Are you really doing this to satisfy your selfish desires, greed for life and fear of death?" ”
"I want to hear it in detail," Jia Nian vaguely seemed to understand something.
Liu Ye said slowly: "Gepo Yellow Turban divides the troops to attack the Quartet, if the Tun cavalry battalion will fight in Gepo as soon as it comes, and not to mention whether it can win or not, what if you just capture Gepo?" What can hundreds of thousands of people do outside the local area? ”
"Will the yellow scarves be scattered in a hurry? If it can be dispersed in a hurry, then why is there still a yellow scarf after Zhang Jiao and others are exterminated? Liu Ye sent out a series of inquiries.
Jia Nian gradually fell into contemplation along this sentence, and after a while, he gave a conclusion: "Even if Ge Po is attacked, Ge Po Yellow Turban will not die, but will be more unscrupulous."
"That?" Jia Nian instantly understood.
Liu Ye explained with a smile: "At that time, the Tun Cavalry Battalion will inevitably run around, and it will be a headache to exterminate those scattered Gepo Yellow Turbans, and at the same time, the neighboring states and counties will also suffer from the scourge of swords. Compared with Runan, the people of these prefectures and counties are obviously more important."
"Don't you know this truth in the history of Yuzhou Thorn?" Jia Nian asked.
Liu Ye smiled bitterly: "How don't you know? ”
"Yuzhou is understood from top to bottom, but the so-called not in his position and not in his politics, they naturally want to put the affairs of Yuzhou in the first place," Liu Ye said.
Then he sighed: "Because of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Yuzhou was already broken. Now, in order to exterminate the Gepo Yellow Turban, they also need to support the Tunqi camp, which makes their situation even worse."
"With the withdrawal of Ge Po's Yellow Turbans from all directions, Ge Pozhong's forces have increased dramatically, and they have also fallen into fear," Liu Ye said.
After a slight pause, he continued: "And the inaction of the cantonment camp has naturally become a place for them to vent their anger."
"If I'm right, the impeachment of Bao Hong should already be on the way to Luoyang," Mr. Liu said, slightly worried.
Gan Ning and Deng Dang, who were standing behind Jia Nian, glanced at each other, and they couldn't imagine that the situation in Runan had reached such a dangerous point.
"Can the Tun Cavalry Camp really exterminate Ge Po?" Jia Nian couldn't help but ask.
Liu Ye shook his head: "I don't know, at least in terms of troops, Ge Po is three times the size of the Tun Cavalry Battalion." However, this is also the most worrying thing in the history of Yuzhou Thorn."
"Three?" Jia Nian pondered.
subconsciously gasped, and then blurted out: "Thirty thousand? There are 30,000 soldiers and horses in the Yellow Turban? ”
"With 30,000 soldiers and horses and a population of hundreds of thousands, otherwise it wouldn't have become a big trouble for the imperial court," Liu Ye said.
Jia Nian asked: "Why did the Tun Cavalry Battalion do this?" Didn't the Captain of the Tun Cavalry understand what these forces meant? ”
"I have absolute confidence in my own strength, and the dignified soldiers and horses in the West Garden are naturally the elite of one to be ten" Liu Ye's tone was full of worry.
Then the conversation changed: "But after the death of Zhang Jiao's disciples, Ge Po's Yellow Turban not only did not dissipate, but its power grew stronger and stronger."
"I'm afraid that the years of conquest are no longer what they used to be" Liu Ye sighed: "It's a pity, until now, the Tuncai Battalion and the Yuzhou Thorn History are still attacking each other and can't be united, and the future of the Battle of Gepo is worrying."
"When you come here at this time, you must be cautious, don't hurt the foundation of Changhe Town because of the competition between the two," Liu Ye advised.
Jia Nian nodded heavily: "Understood"
