Chapter 63: Xue Rengui goes south
Seeing Xue Rengui nodding, the pressure in Yuwen Chengdu's heart was even greater, even if his martial arts skills were higher than Ran Min's, but he still had the special military of the Beggar Army, I am afraid that he is still inferior to him in some aspects.
This is an era of "no first, no second", Yuwen Chengdu is certainly unwilling to do so.
At this time, a man in black walked directly in front of everyone, looking at Yuwen Chengdu with his eyes under the mask, but seeing Xue Rengui nodded, and then said loudly: "Yanhou secret order: Benhou has recognized General Tian Yu to go to Dai County with 20,000 troops, and ordered Xue Rengui to take 20,000 greedy wolf counties to go south on the same day, break through Fan Yang, and prevent Gongsun Zan from escaping south!"
The three of them looked at each other, and Xue Rengui was also the first to react, he showed a little smile on his face to the man in black, but the man in black didn't pay attention to it, but said directly, "Generals, farewell!" ”
Seeing this, Xue Rengui also showed a trace of worry, such a mysterious guard is a double-edged sword, if it is used well, it is definitely an imperial sword for the lord, and if it is not good, it will hurt himself.
However, Xue Rengui thought of Li Ru, who was also wearing a mask, and the worry in his heart slowly receded, and Li Ru had no choice.
Zhao Yun and Yuwen Chengdu were still in a daze, they felt that Yan Hou's courage was too great, after all, the 20,000 soldiers were still Gongsun Zhan's soldiers, but they dared to use them directly, aren't they afraid?
Xue Rengui just guessed that Liu He would let them go south, take Fanyang, isolate Yuan Shaohe and trap Gongsun Zhan, but he didn't expect that he would appoint 20,000 troops.
However, the three of them knew very well that when the 20,000 troops came to Daijun, it would be impossible to fight back, unless Gongsun Zhan could defeat Liu He again, otherwise they would always defend Daijun.
In this way, there is no need to worry about them turning back, so that the current 20,000 greedy wolf army can go south.
Yuwen Chengdu was still thinking about how to establish meritorious service, improve his official position, and then establish a pro-army that was not weaker than the beggar army.
Originally, he thought that it would be impossible in a short period of time, because the biggest problem Liu He is facing now is the lack of troops, and now as long as he knows Liu He, he knows that Liu He has insufficient troops.
This provided valuable time for Xue Rengui and others to take Fan Yang and the mistakes of the generals under Gongsun Zhan.
But now he is letting the army go south and attack Fanyang, which can be said to be a godsend for Yuwen Chengdu and a good opportunity to prove himself.
Yuwen Chengdu looked directly at Xue Rengui and said, "General Xue, I don't know when to attack Fan Yang?" You must be missing a vanguard, what do you think of me? ”
Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun glanced at each other, and they could see the smiles on both sides, Xue Rengui thought for a while, and said, "General Yuwen, can you know why the lord asked the people of the Xuanmiwei to notify us, instead of General Tian Yu?"
Yuwen Chengdu's intelligence is not weak, hearing Xue Rengui ask like this, there must be a lot of deep meaning, thinking for a moment, his brain flashed, and he said from his mouth, "Is it the speed of soldiers?" ”
Although Zhao Yun was still reluctant to take refuge in Liu He, he was also very disappointed in Gongsun Zhan, and he was unwilling to continue to work for Gongsun Zhan, so when he heard that Xue Rengui was attacking Fan Yang in the south, he did not react.
Xue Rengui saw that Yuwen Chengdu also came up with it, and nodded, indicating that he was right, and he had already begun to compare him with Ran Min in his heart.
According to the current point of view, Yuwen Chengdu and Ran Min's martial arts are close to a draw, Yuwen Chengdu's brain is much better than Ran Min's brain, this Yuwen Chengdu is a little better than Ran Min, but Ran Min's commander is a little higher than Yuwen Chengdu.
Xue Rengui also smiled bitterly in his heart, the two of them were really half-hearted, and they couldn't find the winning side at all.
Xue Rengui also did not drag mud and water, and after receiving Liu He's order, he immediately went to the barracks and decided that Gongsun Zhan and Yuan Shao had no defense.
As Xue Rengui gathered the generals, Yan Rou, who was originally training soldiers, and the humble general, hurriedly came to the big tent in the military camp.
They don't know what's going on, the only thing that can be ruled out is to continue to send troops, after all, the whole of Hebei knows about the shortage of troops now.
Xue Rengui looked at the generals wearing armor and carrying swords, and he was very satisfied in his heart, only the army on standby at any time could play a key role.
"Generals, the order of the Marquis of Yan has been given, and we are ordered to get ready, and we will immediately go south to Fanyang soon!" Xue Rengui looked directly at them and said.
As soon as these words came out, the generals in the army began to discuss them, and Yan Rou asked directly: "General Xue, what does Yan Hou mean by this?"
Their 20,000 greedy wolf army can only hold the two counties of Dai County and Shanggu at most, these two counties have a very wide area, if they want to completely defend it, they need at least 20,000 troops with a marching speed, which is almost cavalry.
In addition, the senior cadres of Bingzhou have already left 30,000 troops in Beipingyi, Dai County, which also requires a large army to confront them, otherwise they are really afraid that they will fight.
Xue Rengui also guessed that they would be like this, and directly said that Liu He had asked Tian Yu to come with 20,000 troops.
When the generals heard this, they immediately understood that their mission this time was to go south to Fanyang, and with Tian Yu's 20,000, it was barely enough to hold these two counties, not to mention that the Xiongnu did not dare to go south easily.
Xue Rengui saw that the generals should have almost understood, so he opened the map of Youzhou and began to deploy the next road to attack Fanyang.
Although Fanyang County has a vast area, there are only 5 counties, namely Junxian, Guangyang, Changping, Jundu, and Anci, with a population of nearly 300,000, which belongs to a medium-sized county.
Xue Rengui looked at the map, looked up at Zhao Yun, and saw that Zhao Yun shook his head and was reluctant to make a move.
You can directly intercept their return route, but Zhao Yun is unwilling, Xue Rengui has no choice but to leave him in Daijun, after all, Daijun is very important.
Yuwen Chengdu had been waiting for Xue Rengui's order, and when he saw that he intended to send a general, he stood up directly and said: "General Xue, now that General Tian Yu has not arrived, it is better to send a pioneer to open the road first, and then let the army come."
Yuwen Chengdu continued directly: "And Ben will be willing to be a pioneer general and win Fan Yang for the lord!"
When the generals in the army saw Yuwen Chengdu boasting about himself, they also stood up and said: "General Xue, we are also willing to be the vanguard, the lord, and open the way for the army."
Xue Rengui saw that the generals began to speak in a mess, slapped the table lightly with his hand, and hurriedly said in a deep voice: "General Yuwen, first let you take three thousand cavalry to Jundu County to understand the situation."
Yuwen Chengdu was also very excited when he saw Xue Rengui letting him go, and hurriedly stood up and said: "Chengdu obeys orders, and will not disappoint the general."
The army also knew that Xue Rengui was very likely to let Yuwen Chengdu go, and he would not be very disappointed in his heart, after all, Yuwen Chengdu was the strongest martial artist among them now.
