Volume 6 A City, A Lifetime Chapter 214 The streets are stained with blood, and there is important information
Qi Taibao was also very surprised, he only understood the literal combat power of the Yellow Turban troops, and this literal is the actual formation, a total of 75,000 soldiers in the 25 Corps of the Five Armies of the First Government, but this time the real expedition is three times this number, how can Qi Taibao not be surprised. He was surprised not by this number, but by where these guys recruited so many soldiers, you know, the population of the entire Beihai City is only 350,000!
With such a low population, it is impossible to add new blood to the army, and Beihai City must have a certain base of young and strong people to develop, so even if the Yellow Turban loses 80,000 soldiers, there is no large-scale recruitment, but fortunately, the Northern Division later made up for 80,000 soldiers, and the 80,000 soldiers who were destroyed by Lu Bu before were actually all the soldiers of the Weilie Army.
On the way to the march, Qi Taibao inquired, only to know where these guys' soldiers came from, in the absence of a recruitment order, they can only rely on capturing enemy soldiers to fill the number of reserves, and in the absence of foreign wars, they can only go to exterminate the bandits, the entire territory of Beihai City bandits, and the regiments are closely connected, isn't this their own family fighting their own family?
Actually, no, when they went to suppress the bandits, the mountain bandits surrendered immediately, and after surrendering, the soldiers became prisoners, and then they returned to the corps, but the level of the prisoners must be servant soldiers, only the servant soldiers will not care about honor and the like, once they are officially converted to soldiers, there will be most of the soldiers, after the main general surrenders, or resist or flee.
The mountain bandits in the whole territory of Beihai City often cross the border to do business, they take the plundering of the young and strong in other realms as the goal, after capturing back the cottage, use their own command, turn these young and strong into servant soldiers, but the mountain bandits are very poor, and they can't afford to raise too many private soldiers, so they can only surrender and sell these servant soldiers to get all kinds of supplies.
"Even if the bandits don't have a recruitment order, they can recruit troops when they have a spare command value, and the same is true for regular soldiers." Wang Shan explained.
Qi Taibao knew the things in the army better than these people, and he just nodded after hearing this, and understood the source of these guys' private soldiers, and Qi Taibao skipped this matter, anyway, as long as they can afford it, it is not his business to recruit as many as they want, but the private soldiers recruited by these people make the Yellow Turban Mansion even more powerful.
A fast horse quickly approached after the Yellow Turban Mansion stepped into the territory of Le'an City, and the flagpole hung with white cloth informed the Yellow Turban army in front that he was a messenger, and the messenger was quickly brought to Qi Taibao, bringing a private letter from Wen Xuan, Qi Taibao asked the messenger to wait outside, and then forwarded the letter to Befuzi.
After Befuzi read it, he transferred it to An Chen, and An Chen then read it and transferred it to Wang Shan, and finally returned to Qi Taibao's hands, Qi Taibao glanced at it and found that Wen Xuanming did not say anything serious, but wanted to meet Qi Taibao, Qi Taibao asked the three military masters, whether they wanted to see Wen Xuan, the three military masters came out this time, they just wanted to fight, but if they could get subsidies, it was okay not to fight.
The Yupo in Anguang City is an inconspicuous place, but it is better than the surrounding mountains with no particularly high peaks, no forests, and no sheltered places, so that all the ambushes have nothing to hide, which is also an intention of Wen to say that he has no malicious intentions, Yanyun and the four eagles are all here, and Qi Taibao's side is also four people.
The thick animal skin is spread on the ground, there is a coffee table in the middle, the water vapor is rising, Wen Xuan's skills are skillful to fiddle with his own tea art, and then, pour eight teacups, wave his hand to signal everyone to drink tea, Qi Taibao does not have any artistic conception, Befuzi, the Taoist priest in reality, but praised a sentence of "thick and long source", what does this Nima mean?
Qi Taibao didn't understand, but he could understand Wen Xuan's life, and he had the expression of meeting a bosom friend, and talked about the tea ceremony with Befuzi, Qi Taibao was very depressed, but he didn't interrupt the discussion between the two, and now he is also in a high position, and gradually knows what kind of attitude to show on which occasion.
Wen Xuan's life didn't talk about it for too long, the protagonist is Qi Taibao, although Befuzi is the second person in the yellow scarf, but the second is the second, not as good as the first.
"You came this time, it is to break the siege, the siege must be solved, it is very easy, let's cooperate, make a gap, let Cao Anmin and Dianman withdraw from Le'an City, how about it?"
"Huh."
Wen looked at Qi Taibao speechlessly, hehe, Ni Mei! However, he also knew that this proposal could not impress Qi Taibao, to tell the truth, when he heard that the Wei Department of Zhengbei sent the Yellow Turban Mansion to come to the rescue, Wen Xuanming still wanted to set up an ambush to fight the Yellow Turban, but after learning that there were more than 200,000 soldiers in the three armies of the Yellow Turban, he knelt down, and the entire Four Eagle Mansion was only 100,000 soldiers!
Le'an City has long been cleaned up, there is no grain in it, the rich squires were also transferred early, Cao Anmin and Dianman have a total of 150,000 soldiers, a number of losses during the siege war, only to know after entering the city to be fooled, want to get out of the city, but was already arranged by the Four Eagle Mansion defeated and had to return to the city, but there is no food in the city, the baggage brought by the Four Eagle Mansion was cut off, Cao and Dian fell into a desperate situation.
If it weren't for the fact that the six main cities of Qingzhou were occupied by the Wei Department and four cities, Cao and Dian estimated that they would have fought desperately and could escape as much as they could, but now, they were stubbornly waiting for help, but they were seriously short of food, and if they couldn't get rescue as soon as possible, they would eventually suffer heavy casualties.
Qi Taibao didn't speak, and Beifuzi didn't care about the friendship with Wen Duan, who had a common hobby, and salivated to fight for interests, Wen Duanming waited for Yanyun Siying to be a little unhappy, and Beifuzi, the old miscellaneous hair, slapped the table and shouted, "Then let's fight!" "Well, can you still negotiate happily?
"The materials left by Cao Anmin and Dianman must be handed over to us sixty percent, don't play tricks, we get the list of materials they went to the army, and we can't do it without an arrow." Befuzi said strongly.
"Sancheng, I can only give you Sancheng, and send another top-secret message." Wen said hatefully.
"What's the news?"
"It's numb, you Wei are blind, you always stare at my Le'an City, Qingzhou is not only one Yanbu main city, there is also one!"
"Plains City?" Befuzi asked with a glare.
"That's right, Pingyuan City, the plain that has not been attacked by anything, the general Gao Cang, the son of Gao Lan, the four court pillars of the Yan Department, led the army to raid the Qi country when we surrounded Cao Anmin and Dian Man."
Qi Taibao flipped it over, and the map of the whole territory of Qingzhou was placed on the table, and he nodded Pingyuan City with his hand, and then moved back, and when he moved to Jinan City, the capital of Qingzhou Prefecture, he paused, and said, "Why don't you fight Jinan City?" Is it closer? ”
Wen Xuan's life "hehe" did not answer, Qi Taibao patted his forehead, and said: "That's right, you have to fight Qi Guocheng, this kid is too unlucky, he was defeated by Lu Bu some time ago, the main force was wiped out and he was taken prisoner, after being released, although the troops were replenished, but the elite level was definitely not as good as the one that was destroyed, and now he is still idle, and he went to fight Le'an City again, that Qi Guocheng on the one hand has a weak air defense, on the other hand, the guards are too scum, just pick up cheap!" ”
"This time is mainly a surprise attack, Gao Cang's troops are not many, as long as we can continue to trap Cao Anmin, Dianman, and resist the Yellow Turban Mansion at the same time, then Gao Cang will be able to make up for the follow-up forces, so as to complete the occupation of Qi City, and then, either kill Beihai City directly, or cut off your back road, what is the news? Can it be worth 30%, right? ”
"Scratch the hair."
Wen Xuanming was angry, slapped the table and shouted: "Don't you talk about credit? I've released the news, you guys say it's a hair, it's so shameless, right? ”
Qi Taibao didn't say anything like "I didn't let you say it", and it is still necessary to talk about some credit in the overall situation, otherwise, it will be difficult to cooperate in the future. So, he waved his hand and said, "We're not going to neutralize the news, but it's really not very important!" ”
Wen Xuanming blinked, and then somewhat understood why this news is not very important, strength is the key, the three armies of the Yellow Turban Mansion have more than 200,000 soldiers, and the Chinese army stationed in Beihai City also has tens of thousands of soldiers, if Gao Cang attacks Beihai City, it will definitely be there is no return, and if Gao Cang wants to block the back road of the three Yellow Turban armies, there is also no return.
"Hmph, I don't believe you don't see an opportunity."
Qi Taibao smiled, got up and said that the meeting was temporarily adjourned, Wen Xuanming knew that this group of yellow turban thieves wanted to discuss, so he generously left the venue, and left with three brothers who were arguing with Wang Shan and An Chen.
"Lord, the opportunity to occupy Qi Country City has come!" An Chen roared excitedly.
"If you want to occupy the city of Qi, there must be two prerequisites, first, the whole army will be annihilated, and it is best to hang up the pawn, and the Round Blade Mansion will be disbanded; Second, Yanbu Gaocang has already captured the city of Qi, so that we have the opportunity to attack the city and recapture the city. Therefore, we can give up all our share and only ask the four eagles to keep the manman in Le'an City. Befuzi said with two fingers up.
But regardless of whether Dian Man was left in Le'an City or not, this opportunity was indeed rare, Qi Taibao immediately ordered the Beiyang Naval Division to dispatch, and at the same time, ordered Wang Shan's right army to move in the direction of Qi Guocheng, "Be careful of Gao Cang's ambush, the right army enters Qi Guocheng, the focus is to stare at Gao Cang, and at the same time, in response to the Beiyang Naval Division, the soldiers of the Naval Division can also fight land battles." Qi Taibao said.
Wang Shan slapped his right chest and stood upright, shouting: "Get the order."
Subsequently, the three armies of the Yellow Turban Mansion all moved, one of them quickly turned, and the other two armies continued to advance along the official road in the direction of Le'an City, which made Wen Xuan, who had been waiting for news, very surprised, and after seeing the movement of the Yellow Turban Army clearly, he thought about it, and he somewhat understood what the plan of this group of Yellow Turban thieves was, and then, he scolded hatefully "groove".
"Big brother, what's going on?" Liang Wuchen asked.
"Our news gives the Yellow Turban Mansion more choices, they divide their troops to attack the Qi National City, and at the same time, the troops are forced to Le'an City, as long as Gao Cang is defeated in the territory of the Qi National City, the Qi National City will fall into the hands of the Yellow Turban Mansion; But the existence of Dianman is the only obstacle for the Yellow Turban Mansion to steal Qi City, so the soldiers forced Le'an City to give Cao Anmin and Dianman in the city a hope. ”
"What hope?"
"Hope of a breakout."
"I don't understand." Liang Wuchen thought about it, then scratched his head and said.
"If Dian Man wants to break through, he must fight with our army, and if we want to be safe with the Yellow Turban Mansion in Qingzhou, we must stop Dian Man for them, Cao Anmin can not care, but Dian Man and his army must all stay."
"Groove, isn't Dian Wei going to destroy us?"
"Don't worry, the Renzhong army was driven out of Qingzhou at that time, Dian Wei wants to avenge the murder of his son, so he can only send someone with the same strength as us, if he dares to come in person, we can be resurrected if we die, but Yan has an excuse to send Siting Zhu into Qingzhou, and when the time comes, we will still earn it."
"But, isn't this too cheap Yellow Turban Mansion?"
Wen Xuanming showed a hint of smugness on his face, waved his hand and said: "Whether it is cheap or not, it is unknown at present, you know, the Yellow Turban is just a mansion, eat two main cities, hehe, it will be killed." Obviously, selling this news to the Yellow Turban Mansion, Wen Xuan's life is not without other conspiracy.
