Chapter 188: Encirclement and Reinforcement (Plus More Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Yuan Zhang's siege of Weizhou City was not necessarily to capture Weizhou and capture Li Gui in the shortest possible time, but to use Li Gui as a bait to attract the 100,000 forbidden troops of the rear army to come to the rescue, so as to wait for their work to annihilate them under Weizhou City.

This is to encircle the point to send reinforcements, Li You instantly understood why today's offensive was so weak, at least at this time, Yuan Zhang's target was not them in the city, but the 100,000 forbidden troops of the rear army; Li You was waiting for reinforcements, and Yuan Zhang was the same, except that one hoped to join forces with the reinforcements to defeat Tang Kuo's troops, while the other had already set up an ambush and quietly waited for the reinforcements of Great Wei to enter the net.
He has now annihilated the 100,000 soldiers and horses of the former army, the British Gongqiu Yuande and other meritorious generals will be swept away, and the Chinese army has collapsed under the conspiracy of Yang Jiefu and others, and now there are only more than 30,000 people left, if the 100,000 people of the rear army are eaten, then the essence of the Great Wei Forbidden Army will be swept away, and no army can confront them head-on.
If I had guessed their intentions earlier, I wouldn't have ...... Li You only regretted half of it and shook his head helplessly, even if he knew in advance, he could only bring Li Gui to this Weizhou City, otherwise, the distracted Chinese army would definitely not be the opponent of Tang Kuo's department, and field fighting was their best field, coupled with the spies hidden in the shadows, they would definitely be defeated in a battle, maybe not only the more than 30,000 people today could not be saved, but even Li Gui would fall into their hands.
At that time, the front army and the Chinese army were all lost, and even the emperor fell into their hands, what did the rear army take to fight Tang Kuo's troops? Still can't get rid of the fate of rout, but now, if they are aware of Yuan Zhang's plan, they are not so anxious to march, and move forward steadily, and Li Youli in the city should cooperate with the outside, maybe there is still some possibility of repelling Tang Kuo's army.
Unable to pin all hope on the commander-in-chief of the rear army, it is necessary to send someone out of the city to tell them the news, and to discuss the timing of the response; Thinking of this, Li You immediately convened Qian Hua, Qiu Shangjian, Yao Pingzhong, Qin Tansheng and others to discuss how to deal with this matter.
"The commander of the rear army is Guo Yongzhong, the Marquis of Jiangxia, this person is as fierce as fire and extremely irritable, I heard that His Majesty is trapped in Weizhou, and he will definitely come to the rescue day and night." After listening to Li You's analysis, Qiu Shangjian, who had been in the capital for a long time and was most familiar with Xungui's family, frowned and said, "I'm afraid that I just fell for the thief's trick." ā
"For today's plan, the only way to do this is to send warriors to break through and find Jiang Xiahou, hoping that he can listen to the persuasion and be a little more cautious between marches." Qian Hua's suggestion was consistently agreed by the crowd, and they then discussed the choice of the messenger.
"This person must be brave enough to break through the encirclement of Tang Kuo's army, and he must have a certain identity to be able to talk to Jiang Xiahou, but there are probably not many such people in the army now, right?" Yao Pingzhong said hesitantly.
"If you talk about martial arts, I'm afraid that no one in the city can beat Zhou Bofu of the Zhenwei camp, and he is the second son of Huining Hou, with this identity, Jiang Xiahou can at least listen to his words, but it's a pity that Zhou Bofu's body is too heavy to ride a horse." Qian Hua, who had seen Zhou Bofu's bravery, said regretfully.
This time it is not as good as Suiyang, there is Zhang Xun in Suiyang City to command the army, and he can break through, but now the military and political affairs in Weizhou City are pressed on his shoulders, and there is no way to leave the army to deliver the letter, otherwise with his own Wu Yong and Jiazhou Bo, there may be a possibility of convincing Jiang Xiahou Guo Yongzhong.
Qian Hua and Qiu Shangjian are not good at martial arts, and they are inseparable from Weizhou like Li You, and everyone discussed for a long time and finally decided to let Li You's commander Tongzhi, the fourth son of Dongchuan Bo, Guo Yuanjing, take on this important task, Guo Yuanjing is outstanding in the battlefield to hone his martial arts, and his identity is slightly inferior to Li You, Qian Sa and Zhou Bofu and others, but he is not a nameless, and he can barely speak in front of Guo Yongzhong.
Since it has been agreed, without further ado, everyone formulated a strategy that night according to the arrangement of Tang Kuo's troops outside the city, and Guo Yuanjing also selected a group of warriors to rest first and prepare for tomorrow's breakthrough.
It was still dawn, there was a commotion outside the east gate, the Great Wei cavalry in the city suddenly killed, although Tang Kuo had been on guard for a while, but it was also a little scattered, the army of the south gate and the north gate approached the east gate at the same time, and there was a flaw in the encirclement outside the city, Guo Yuanjing immediately led the elite soldiers and horses to take the opportunity to kill, and after losing nearly a hundred cavalry, he finally broke out of the encirclement, and ran in the direction where the rear army might appear with his men and horses.
In order to cover up the purpose of their trip, Li You also ordered some wax pills to be made and hidden on Guo Yuanjing's subordinates, with some words written on them urging the early arrival of reinforcements, hoping to confuse Yuan Zhang for a while.
After Guo Yuanjing broke through, he rushed to the rear army non-stop, day and night, tired of several horses, left behind half of the soldiers, and finally found the army of Guo Yongzhong, Marquis of Jiangxia, a few days later.
came to the camp to report his name and showed his identity documents, Guo Yuanjing finally saw this Jiang Xiahou, and after entering the account, Guo Yuanjing hurriedly saluted and said, "The last general Zhenwei battalion commanded Guo Yuanjing to visit the Hou Ye." ā
"You're a kid from Uncle Dongchuan's family, right?" Guo Yongzhong also recognized the identity of the person who came, and hurriedly asked, "I heard that Er and the others are escorting His Majesty to Weizhou City, what is the form now?" ā
"Your Majesty is safe and sound, and is recuperating in the city of Weizhou; Although the city of Weizhou was surrounded by the 100,000 troops of the Tang Kuo Army, there were still 30,000 elite soldiers in the city. Guo Yuanjing thought about calming Jiang Xiahou's heart first.
Who knew that these words had changed when they fell into Guo Yongzhong's ears, and he snorted coldly, "How can it be reasonable for the king of a country to be besieged by barbarians for months? Don't worry, I'll speed up the march, and within five days, I will be able to rush to the city of Weizhou and rescue Your Majesty. ā
"Master Hou, by all means, now the barbarian army is not attacking the city with all its might, just wanting to wait for work and ambush Hou Ye's army." Guo Yuanjing secretly screamed, and hurriedly persuaded, "There are Jiazhou Bo and others in the city, it will not be a problem to persist for a few months, Hou Ye is still safer, and when the time comes, the enemy army will be broken by the cooperation between the inside and the outside." ā
"Hey, when the old man went into battle, you didn't know where to feed? How? Now I want to teach the old man how to fight? Unexpectedly, the more they talked, the less speculative they became, and within a few words, Guo Yongzhong drove him out.
And the army under his command accelerated the speed of the march and hurried to Weizhou City, Guo Yuanjing wanted to speak many times along the way, but was blocked out of the tent, watching the army approach Weizhou City step by step. (To be continued.) )
