Chapter 146: Xun Yu, Huangfu Song
"Report!"
"A large number of enemy troops have been found in the southwest area outside the city!"
"Report!"
"The enemy has stopped marching and has begun to set up camp!"
"Report!"
"Our side came into contact with enemy scouts and suffered casualties on each other!"
"Report!"
“……”
Time passed slowly, and there were scouts who continued to report that Huangfu Song, Niu Fu and others in the southwest area outside Juancheng had begun to set up camp.
Generally speaking, when the enemy is gaining a foothold and maintaining stability, it is a good choice to attack.
However, there were too few soldiers available in Juancheng.
Don't say Juancheng.
Because of Cao Cao's attack on Xuzhou, only a small number of garrisons were left in other cities in Yanzhou, and the rest were taken to Xuzhou by Cao Cao.
Xun Yu lived in Juancheng, and after receiving the initial news, he began to mobilize for the battlefield.
The reward and punishment system in the war has been very perfect, so Xun Yu doesn't have to worry about this.
The main thing he had to do was to contact the gentry in the city, and at the same time, he also had to solve some unstable factors in advance, and he also needed to prepare the materials needed to defend the city.
Of course, it is also essential to recruit people.
When it comes to defending the city, it is mainly to rely on the advantages of the city wall to give the enemy the maximum damage, so that the advantages and disadvantages of both sides will slowly change.
It is precisely because of the geographical advantage that there will be a situation where thousands of people can resist the attack of tens of thousands of people, and a person who is proficient in defending the city can usually bring several times or even ten times the losses to the enemy army.
In addition to some necessary materials such as stones, rolling wood, and fire oil used to defend the city, personnel deployment is also very crucial.
Generally speaking, the city was not defended by soldiers, but by trained soldiers mixed with a large number of people selected from the common people.
These ordinary people are naturally trembling when they first enter the battlefield, but they can also play a great role with the help of trained soldiers on the side.
The only thing that makes people criticize is that the casualties of the people will be unusually high.
These people are veritable "cannon fodder." ”
If these "cannon fodder" are lucky enough to survive the war, they will be transformed into a high-quality source of soldiers.
Threatened, persecuted, indured, and so on, these conscripts would set foot on the walls of the city if necessary, and attack the besieging enemy under the orders of the officers.
As for their life and death, there may be only four words to describe it.
Resigned.
If you're lucky, that's good.
If you are unlucky and are shot by a stray arrow, you will be injured at least and die at worst.
The atmosphere of war is getting stronger and stronger, and the clouds in the sky seem to be burned red by blood as if the sun is setting, in fact, this is just an ordinary scene, but because of the war, it always makes people think about it.
At this time there was a crowd of people gathered in the corners of the inner city walls, who looked stubble and dressed in short brown, some of them with straw sandals, and most of them barefoot.
"You said we could win this time."
"How do I know?" "It should be fine."
A small chatter sounded from the side, and the oppressive atmosphere made the voices of the two even deeper.
"Hopefully it's okay. It's just that since I came here, I have been trembling, and I feel that my legs and feet are no longer obedient. ”
"Who's to say it isn't. It's the same with me. ”
"Alas!"
After a sigh, the conversation between the two ended, and the crowd was silent.
The soldier on duty in the distance probably heard the chatter of the two and glanced over here, but saw that they were still honest and did not say anything.
"Huangfu Song."
"Huangfu Song, as an old minister of the Han family, actually helped Dong Zhuo." "Huh. Sleeping with the enemy? ”
Xun Yu was alone in the palace to deal with official business, and only after resting for a while, his mind couldn't help but have thoughts about Huangfu Song.
What kind of person Huangfu Song is, I'm afraid everyone in the world knows it.
Such a person is very difficult to deal with.
"Can you lobby for a while?" Xun Yu suddenly had such a thought in his heart.
"Huh." With a chuckle, Xun Yu shook his head, he was a little delusional.
Huangfu Song.
Born in a family of generals, the son of Yanmen Taishou Huangfu Festival, and the nephew of Huangfu Gui, the general of Duliao; Its broken yellow turban thief is powerful all over the world.
O first-class loyal and righteous man.
The reason why Xun Yu felt that he was a little delusional was because a loyal minister like Huangfu Song was naturally loyal to the monarch.
And now the emperor of the Han Dynasty is now in the city of Chang'an.
Yongzhou.
Chang'an City.
Emperor.
Dong Zhuo.
Huangfu Song.
Huangfu Song is not helping Dong Zhuo, but helping the emperor, but the current emperor is held hostage by Dong Zhuo.
If you want to make Huangfu Song rebel, it is obviously impossible.
In addition to being loyal to the monarch, Huangfu Song's own family is also a big reason.
"It is impossible to lobby successfully." Xun Yu sighed lightly, made another determination in his heart, and then only heard him mutter, "It's really a headache to be against such a general." ”
Xun Yu rubbed his eyebrows, and didn't come up with a good way for a while.
"Discord? Reversed? ”
Xun Yu dispelled his thoughts again, since Dong Zhuo dared to send Huangfu Song over, it must be because he had already taken Huangfu Song to death.
"I'm afraid it's useless."
Xun Yu stood up, moved his muscles and bones, and breathed a long sigh of relief, "Since this is the case, then we can only see the truth on the surface!" ”
……
Outside Juancheng, unlike Xun Yu, who was arranging the defense of the city, Huangfu Song was also quite busy at this time, but he was preparing for the siege of the city.
In the big tent of the Chinese army, Huangfu Song sat on the upper seat, and below him were Niu Fu, Li Dao, and Guo Yan.
"Today, we will set up camp, and at night we will guard against the sneak attack of Cao Cao's side."
"The matter of night precautions will be entrusted to General Niu." Huangfu Song instructed Niu Fu at this head.
"Whoa."
"The Last General's Order!" Niu Fu stood up and saluted.
After explaining Niu Fu, Huangfu Song turned to Li Dao and Guo Yan and instructed: "General Li, General Guo, I'm afraid the siege equipment we brought from Dongjun is not enough. ”
"The two generals still need to arrange for their men and horses to cut down trees and make rushing cars, ladders and other things."
Li Dao and Guo Yan responded in unison: "The last general's order!" ”
After instructing Niu Fu, Li Dao, and Guo Yan, Huangfu Song moved his eyes to the other person in the tent.
This person was Zhang Miao, who had betrayed Cao Cao with Chen Gong before, Chen Gong followed Lu Bu to stop Cao Cao, and Zhang Miao came to Juancheng with Huangfu Song.
"General Zhang, dare to ask that in this Juancheng, General Zhang may find someone as an internal response?"
"If someone acts as an internal response, it will be much easier for us to attack the city."
As soon as Huangfu said this, the others in the tent moved their eyes to Zhang Miao.
When the city is besieged, it is a great thing if there is help from within.
Zhang Miao pondered for a moment when he heard this, and then shook his head, "The person who is in charge of Juancheng now is Xun Yu, and after receiving the news of our coming, I am afraid that he has already cleaned up the interior of Juancheng. ”
"If you have internal response, there is not much hope, and even if you have internal response, you are afraid that there will be an ambush in it."
After listening to Zhang Miao's words, Huangfu Song did not feel disappointed, after all, the young man who is guarding the city now is very famous, and his ability must not be bad.
"In this way, it can only be decided on the frontal battlefield."
Huangfu Song couldn't help but think of this in his heart.
