Chapter 62: Xianbei Ambition

Yang Wei frowned deeply, he couldn't see through Xianbei's intentions for a while, if he wanted to plunder, he could go south to loot and merge states, and if time permitted, he could also loot the junction area between Hebei and Hebei. Why is it that now he has gone around the Taihang Mountains for half a circle, and has taken great pains to invade Zhuo County through Dai County. And now that he has come to Zhuo County, it is easy to be cut off by Gongsun Zhan, and the gains outweigh the losses, so I really can't think about it.

Yang Wei said to Bei Zhan on the side: "Take the map." Since Zhang He recommended Bei Zhan, Yang Wei let Bei Zhan follow around, and now everything that is written is written by Bei Zhan, Yang Wei is too lazy to take a pen anymore, Bei Zhan is extremely satisfied with the profession of secretary with a bright future, and he still likes clerical work.

Bei Zhan hadn't come back yet, but Zou Jing was panting and climbed the city wall. He had seen Ding Yuan before, and when he saw Ding Yuan, he was deeply moved, and said, "Xiaguan Zou Jing, meet Ding Tingshi." Ding Yuan nodded and said a majestic "um". Zou Jing hurriedly stood aside respectfully, not daring to make a sound.

After a while, Bei Zhan came running with a large volume of things, to say that it has not been in vain to be a soldier in the barracks these days. At least Bei Zhan's physical fitness has been greatly improved, because Bei Zhan knows that his conditions are worse than other soldiers, so he cultivates more diligently, if he ran back and forth like this before, he must be sweating profusely, but now he only sweats slightly, and he doesn't feel anything.

Yang Wei pointed to the cleaner ground, and Bei Zhan spread out the map on the ground, pressing the four corners with the city bricks on the side. Yang Wei leaned over to watch carefully, and the more he looked, the more shocking he became. I didn't expect Xianbei's appetite to be so big this time, opening the gap from Bingzhou, all the way around the Taihang Mountains through Dai County, Zhuo County, looking at Xianbei's troops, all the counties along the way must have been lost.

After taking Zhuo County, he will definitely continue to go south, and the target is Jizhou. You must know that Jizhou does not border with other races, and has never encountered Xianbei iron horses, and the counties and counties you pass through will be easily conquered by Xianbei one by one. Moreover, Jizhou is richer than Merge Prefecture and Youzhou, and it is more cost-effective to plunder one Jizhou than to plunder three Merge Prefectures.

Bingzhou has now become an undefended state, and Gongsun Zan of Youzhou just knew, and immediately sent troops, and he only had to eat soil behind Xianbei's ass. After Xianbei calmly plundered Jizhou, he bypassed the Taihang Mountains, withdrew from Bingzhou, and returned to Xianbei territory through the territory of Qianghu.

When Yang Wei thought of this, he was already in a cold sweat, Jizhou was not prepared at all, and the troops were weak, although in order to fight against the Yellow Turban, a new army had been formed. But one can imagine how effective the newly formed army will be. In other words, the people of Jizhou will fall into the abyss of no return, and there is no ability to resist at all.

Yang Wei said to everyone with a solemn expression: "The main target of Xianbei this time is neither to merge with the state nor to Youzhou, but here. As he spoke, he circled the location of Jizhou on the map. Although the current map is very rough, everyone can still see the direction Yang Wei pointed.

Thinking that Jizhou was about to be destroyed, the scene was silent and became silent. This Xianbei's action was so big that even Emperor Wen didn't expect it, if he could think of it, he would definitely not let the border army clean up the Yellow Turban. Because Jizhou is so important, Jizhou is the largest granary closest to the capital in Da Viet. If Jizhou is looted, the grain will have to be transported from the southern states, and the cost on the road will be very huge.

Yang Wei seemed to make a guarantee, and as if he had made up his mind to himself, he said: "We must firmly contain the Xianbei army in Zhuo County, and wait for Gongsun Zhan's army to arrive, attack from both sides, and defeat it in one fell swoop." Ding Yuan and Zou Jing both nodded secretly. For the sake of the emperor, he can only let it go.

Xiong Ba and Zhao Yun were both very excited, this was the first battle they participated in, but it was a tough battle of perseverance and strength. You must know that Guangxian and Bei should have an army of 100,000, plus the Qiang people and 20,000, plus a total of 120,000 troops. It has reached a six-to-one superiority in troops, and in a siege battle, it can take the city by attacking three defenses and one, but now it has reached six defenses and one. You can imagine what kind of bitter battle is coming.

Just when everyone's expressions were different, they saw smoke and dust billowing from the northwest in the distance, and about thousands of horses appeared on the horizon. Everyone looked solemn at this moment, and their mood was not relaxed. Yang Wei asked Xiong Badao: "How is the defense in the city?"

Xiong Ba replied: "I am responsible for the defense of the western city wall, Niu Jin is responsible for the defense of the northern city wall, Guan Yu is responsible for the east, and Zhang Fei is responsible for the south. Yang Wei nodded, the most pressure should be the west and the north, with Xiongba and Niu Jin defending, it is obviously the safest.

Yang Wei said: "Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have no opinions, right?" Xiong Ba scratched his head and smiled awkwardly: "Of course they have opinions, Guan Yu is better, he knows that his strength is not comparable to the two of us, this is also the best arrangement, and now he is practicing desperately." Zhang Fei was desperately drinking a few days ago, and he also injured a soldier with drunkenness, so I whipped him a few times to be honest. ”

Yang Wei smiled bitterly, there are many fierce generals, which is also a trouble. The generals who could have defended one side had to stand aside in terms of strength.

Xiong Ba continued: "The rolling logs and stones have been prepared, and the arrows have been transported to the city wall. At present, only the golden juice has not yet been put in place, and even the cauldron and firewood for burning the golden juice have been prepared. ”

Yang Wei nodded, this is also human nature, no one will make a pile of feces to sit in front of him and disgust himself. Xiong Ba asked, "Is the gold juice on the city wall now?"

Yang Wei said: "No need, now it is just the enemy's vanguard force, if the city is unprepared, you can storm the city gate, but it is impossible to bring siege equipment." But you can shoot arrows to disturb, give orders, and let the soldiers be fully armed and in position. ”

Xiong Ba respectfully should be, go down to give the order. Yang Wei turned to Zou Jing and said, "Please also ask Zou Taishou to arrange a place for Ding Tingshi and the two of them to settle down first." ”

Zou Jing was just about to respond, he knew that Yang Wei was for his good, and there were many dangers on the city wall, so Yang Wei took him away for an excuse to keep him away from the danger. Ding Yuan rushed to say: "We are not people without force, we can assist in the defense, and ask Degao to arrange a position for us." Lu Bu had now climbed up, standing behind Ding Yuan, and looked at Yang Wei with bright eyes when he heard the words.

Zou Jing was "groaning" in his heart, Ding Yuan is a history of assassination, although the state is lost, his crime is inescapable, but he is still a history of assassination after all. If something happens to his territory, he won't be able to eat and walk around. Zou Jing looked at Yang Wei with blank eyes, for fear that Yang Wei would agree to Ding Yuan's request.

Yang Wei waved his hand and said: "No need, the battle in the early stage will not be too intense, and when the war is fierce in the later stage and the manpower is tight, it is not too late to invite the two of you to come to help." The two of them fought fiercely all the way, thinking that they were also tired, so they asked to go down and rest to deal with the fierce battle in the future. ”

Zou Jing breathed a sigh of relief, Ding Yuan thought about it, so he no longer insisted, called Lu Bu, went down to the city with Zou Jing, and Zou Jing arranged a place to rest and go.
