Chapter Twenty-Three: The Great War Is About to Begin
Long Yao and Zhang Yi came to the hall of the Assassin's Mansion together, Zhang Yi asked the maidservant to serve tea and then asked straight to the point: "Brother Xiaoyao, I don't know if you came to visit as a brother?" ”
"Brother, I won't tell you, it's only been two or three months since my brother took office as the guard of Yanmen County, although my brother has carried out an army expansion, but now the entire Yanmen County has only 6,000 soldiers and horses, and recently received a report from the scout, the Southern Xiongnu Qiangqu Shan will personally lead 100,000 iron cavalry south to attack Yanmen Pass." Long Yao said excitedly.
"How is that virtuous brother good, if Yanmen Pass is lost, then the people of the entire state will be under the iron hooves of the Southern Xiongnu." Zhang Yi asked anxiously.
"Don't worry, brother, there is already a solution, but I still need my brother to help me." Long Yao said.
"Brother Xian, in addition to the county soldiers here, there are only 5,000 soldiers and horses that can be used, and these 5,000 soldiers and horses are not enough." Zhang Yi continued to ask anxiously.
"Brother, don't worry, for my brother I have rushed to Luoyang to ask for help from the imperial court, for my brother guessed that the imperial court will definitely let the state recruit troops on the spot to temporarily resist the Huns, and the imperial court will definitely send reinforcements, but it will take a long time for the imperial reinforcements to arrive, and far water can not quench the thirst."
Long Yao paused and continued.
"I want my brother and I to jointly invite the remaining two counties of Bingzhou, Xihe County to guard Xingji, and Shangdang County to send troops together to help me resist the attack of the Huns. In this way, we will be able to hold out until the arrival of imperial reinforcements. ”
(Historically, Guo Yi was originally the Taishou of Yanmen County, and Zhang Yi was originally just the history of the Assassin of the Prefecture, not the Taishou of any county, so it was changed here because of the needs of the plot.) You don't have to be serious. )
"Okay, since the virtuous brother has already thought of a way, then we will do what the elder brother said, for the elder brother, after the 2 letters are stamped with the seal of the assassin history, the virtuous brother will also be stamped with the seal of Yanmen County, and then send the brother to the Xihe County Taishou Xingji Office and the Shangdang County Taishou Guo Yi." Zhang Yi said seriously.
"Thank you, dude." Long Yao smiled and thanked.
"Brother Xian has stayed in this Assassin's Mansion for a few days, and after I have arranged the affairs of Taiyuan County and the 5,000 soldiers and horses of Taiyuan County, I will go to Yanmen Pass with Brother Xian to defend against the enemy." Zhang Yi said enthusiastically.
"That's going to be a nagging dude." Long Yao also happily agreed.
In the later small talk, Long Yao knew why Zhang Yi was so polite to him. It turned out that the song he said to Zhuge Liang in the ghost valley of Yunmeng Mountain, and the word of Man Jianghong, which plagiarized Yue Fei, was deliberately spread by Zhuge Liang. Zhang Yi also hates foreign races very much, so he is so polite to himself.
Five days later, Zhang Yi's 5,000 soldiers and horses were mobilized and embarked on the road to Yanmen Pass with Long Yao.
On the other hand, after Xing Ji, the Taishou of Xihe County, received a joint letter of help from Zhang Yi and Long Yao, Xing Ji mobilized 1,000 soldiers and horses under his command to personally take them to Yanmen Pass after thinking about it again and again.
After Guo Yi, the Taishou of Shangdang County, received a letter of help from Zhang Yi and Long Yao, after thinking about it again and again, he also mobilized the 3,000 soldiers and horses that his subordinates could mobilize, and personally took them north to Yanmen Pass to support.
After Long Yao returned to Yinguan County, Long Yao revoked the post of lieutenant of Li Mu, made Li Mu the lieutenant of Yanmen, revoked the post of lieutenant of Xuanyuan Yanmen, and made Xuanyuan a partial general.
And let Li Mu select 3,100 people from the newly recruited people to guard the counties, so that after the new recruits from the original 14 counties of Yanmen County arrived, Xuanyuan led the 3,100 county soldiers and the remaining 700 recruits to the north to support Yanmen Pass, and let Li Mu continue to recruit and train from the counties of Yanmen County.
And Long Yao and Zhang Yi took Taiyuan's 5,000 soldiers and horses to take the lead.
A month later, the Xiongnu army arrived at Yanmen Pass, and reinforcements from all over the state also resisted Yanmen Pass.
So far, there are a total of 6,800 defenders of Yanmen Pass, 3,000 Beiwei Army, 5,000 Taiyuan Army, 3,000 Shangdang Army, and 1,000 Xihe Army. There are a total of 18,800 people in the Bingzhou coalition army, and as for the 7,000 soldiers and horses secretly recruited by Long Yao, they are still secretly not exposed for the time being. Originally, Long Yao didn't want to expose the Beiwei Army in advance, but when Long Yao saw that there were really 100,000 iron horsemen outside Yanmen Pass, he had to let the Beiwei Army appear, after all, most of the strong generals under Long Yao's command were sent to the Beiwei Army.
Zhang Yi, Xing Ji, and Guo Yi were very puzzled when they saw that I had 9,800 soldiers and horses, and Zhang Yi asked me on the spot why I told him that there were only 6,000 soldiers and horses. I told him that the 6,000 soldiers and horses I was talking about meant the soldiers and horses guarding Yanmen Pass in addition to the county soldiers, and now because the situation was urgent, I asked the newly recruited 3,100 recruits to go to the counties to guard, and then dropped the original 3,100 county soldiers and the newly recruited 700 recruits.
Zhang Yi, Xing Ji, and Guo Yi smiled with relief after hearing my words, and apologized to me, saying that they didn't change it and didn't believe me.
I said it didn't matter, and secretly thought in my heart that if this was replaced by Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Quan and other big heroes, my flawed words would definitely not be able to hide from them.
Previously, I asked Ling'er to test the intelligence attributes of Zhang Yi, Guo Yi, and Xing Ji who only had 70 points, so I dared to let the Beiwei Army come out and put 9100 troops on the surface.
After sending them away, Zhang Yi, Xing Ji, and Guo Yi, Long Yao once again summoned all the generals in Yanmen Pass to attend the ceremony.
"Generals, now that the big war is coming, in order to facilitate scheduling, I will rearrange your respective positions."
Long Yao said calmly, and after finishing speaking, he rearranged the position of the general under his command.
"First of all, Yue Fei is the main general, responsible for controlling the 9,100 soldiers and horses except for the Lion Guard and the Tiger Guard, including the Beiwei Army, and all the generals, including Ben Taishou."
"Long Huang (Xuanyuan) is the deputy general, responsible for assisting Yue Fei to control 9,100 soldiers and horses and generals."
"Gao Zhong is the captain, and continue to control the 1,000 back troops under his original command."
"Yang Zaixing is a lieutenant and continues to control the 1,000 back troops under his original command."
"Lu Wenlong is the captain, and he continues to control the 1,000 back troops under his original command."
"Gao Shun is the captain, and 800 people are selected from the 6,800 people except for the Beiwei Army to form a new elite unit, which is called the trapping camp."
"Long Lu (Drought Fish) is a captain, and he controls 1,000 ordinary soldiers."
"Win Gou as a lieutenant and control 1,000 ordinary soldiers."
"Hou Qing is a lieutenant, and he controls 1,000 ordinary soldiers."
"Zhang Liao is a lieutenant, and he controls 1,000 ordinary soldiers."
"Zhang Xian is a lieutenant, and he controls 1,000 ordinary soldiers."
"Dahong is a lieutenant, and he controls 1,000 ordinary soldiers."
Dahong rushed back from Luoyang three days ago, and after almost a month and a half, Dahong successfully completed the task of going to Luoyang to ask for help and returned.
Sure enough, as Zhuge Liang expected, Emperor Ling ordered the Taishou of the 4 counties of Bingzhou to recruit troops on their own, and went north to Yanmen Pass to resist the Xiongnu. and sent Lu Zhi as the general of Beizhonglang to lead the 30,000 troops of the five schools of the Northern Army to the north to support Yanmen Pass.
