Chapter 279: Hesitation

"My general took the risk to transfer all the elite soldiers from Hedong and Henan to Hanoi, and it is not too much to let you compensate for a little grain and grass. My general was not here before, and General Zhang was also able to call the shots, although it was angry to say that you should hand over Guo Gongze, but General Yan Liang and Nei Huang really didn't want much grain of 300,000 stone each. Of course, it can be a little less in the past. But the fault is that your car ride seems to be unwilling to take it back with its own strength. Now that the soldiers and horses of our army are also in place, and the grain and grass are also on the way to be transported one after another, my general and all the soldiers are not in a hurry to stop fighting.

In addition, your attack on Neihuang caused our army to lose troops again, and the whole army was clamoring to fight to Gaoyi, and my general would be prone to chaos if he did not come up with some money to appease him. And now that the cavalry strength of our army is also completely exposed in front of the world, Yuan Cheqi should certainly pay some price for this. ”

Feng Ji's scalp is numb, he was originally a celebrity and should be easier to speak, but listening to this tone, he is just not as angry as Wei Xuan, and his appetite is bigger than Wei Xuan.

Meet??????????????? Ji said tentatively: "Mr. Xi, General Zhang, it is better to follow the last talk, 600,000 stone grain, we will first raise 300,000 from Wei County, and make up for it in three months." ”

Zhang Liao shook his head: "Mr. Feng, you may not have understood the words of my generals and military advisors, 600,000 is before you attacked Neihuang, 5,000 heavy cavalry long-distance cavalry long-distance war horses and horse riding lost 10%, 500 war horses are worth at least 50 million yuan, plus the soldiers' pensions, how can you get 300,000?" Also, your march from Gaoyi to Hanoi is only ten days, and the transportation of grain and grass may be a little slower, and a month is always enough. Three months is clearly perfunctory to us. Jizhou is vast and densely populated, and Yuan Cheqi can recruit 100,000 soldiers in three months, and when the time comes, can we really kill Gaoyi if we turn around and don't admit it? ”

Feng Ji's face was a little ugly, he didn't expect this young general to speak like this, it seems that Wei Xuan's subordinates are all the same, he looked at Xi Zhicai with a little embarrassment and said, "Nine hundred thousand is really too much." ”

Xi Zhicai nodded with a smile and said with a very sympathetic and understanding look: "You can also transport it slowly, first send 300,000 to the two sides to cease the war, and then you will redeem General Yan Liang or Nei Huang with you first." Three months is a bit longer, a month and a half. I tried to convince my lord. ”

Feng Ji: "......"

He really didn't mean that, Wei Xuan was bullying people, and felt that his army was stronger in combat, Yuan Shao didn't dare to continue to mobilize the army in the north to the south, and it was pure nonsense to say anything about losses. Feng Ji thought that it would be almost enough to say a figure of 600,000 and then send 300,000, looking at the posture of these people.

Seeing that Feng Ji didn't speak for a long time, Zhang Liao glanced at Xi Zhicai and continued: "It seems that Yuan Cheqi is not sincere, but he just wants Mr. Feng to stabilize my general." I am not afraid to tell Mr. the truth, my general has arrived, and the elite infantry of Henan has also arrived, and then Liao is only responsible for the perimeter of the battlefield, and the matter of attacking the city and pulling out the village will be handed over to those heavy infantry. Back then, in Yique Pass and Yuyuan Pass, those cattle were all broken in one day. Liao was also curious that they would be able to break through Yecheng in a few days. Mr. actually doesn't have to waste time here, please go back early, once our army is dispatched, my general will detain Mr. Feng so as not to leak the march route. ”

Feng Ji was sweating profusely and said: "Please forgive me, Ji Zhen can't be the master of this matter, so I will send someone back to tell my general, please ride a car to decide." ”

Hearing this, Xi Zhicai got up from his seat and said with a smile: "Sir, please take care of yourself, but please also ask Mr. and the rider to hurry up and give an answer." Mr. also saw that my general was young and vigorous, and it was difficult to persuade him. ”

Feng Ji: "......"

Feng Ji returned to the inn where he temporarily settled from the county office, looked at the handwritten letter from Yuan Shao that had never been sent, sighed and began to write a letter to Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao was actually in a hurry to wait in Yecheng, because Nei Huang came to report that Nei Huang's guards had begun to dispatch a large number of people to harvest grain nearby. He receives a lot of letters asking for help every day. Originally, if it had been changed before or in the future, he could have left it alone. But he has just replaced Han Fucheng as the lord of Jizhou, and the wealthy families and celebrities in Jizhou are watching him, and the war with Wei Xuan is a complete failure, causing his prestige to plummet, but if Wei Xuan's people are left to ??????????????? The harvest of grain in Jizhou will surely shake his rule. You must know that there are 3,000 guards in Neihuang, and there are 2,000 sailors on the Yellow River, and every day they touch a thousand people to escort grain, and hire a large number of people to harvest grain.

If it weren't for the fact that Feng Ji's letter came together with the letter he wrote to Wei Xuan, and his own handwritten letter had not been opened, he must have thought that Wei Xuan had sent someone to forge Feng Ji's notes.

Wei Xuan refused to open his handwritten letter, and what was even more outrageous was that Wei Xuan still insisted on 900,000 stone grain. It seemed that Wei Xuan was unreasonable, but Wei Xuan marked the prices of Yan Liang and Nei Huang Ming, and even counted the loss of the war horses on his head, but he was annoyed but had no way to refute it. Could he be able to say that Yan Liang is not worth the price? To say that young and vigorous is to show off your might.

Wei Xuanshi opened his mouth, Yuan Shaozhen didn't want to give, he didn't want to give 300,000. However, Feng Ji had already hinted in the letter that the previous battles had taken place before Wei Xuan arrived in Huai County, and that Wei Xuan might have been accompanied by the elite infantry who had broken through Yique Pass and Yuyuan Pass in one day. These infantry would be invincible if they had eight or nine thousand cavalry to cooperate, and Wei Xuan seemed to be really ready to attack Jizhou if Sanhe was occupied. Yuan Shao didn't know that the three battles against Dong Zhuode were all broken through the city in one day, but he definitely knew that he did not have the elite of the Xiliang soldiers under Dong Zhuo's command in a few weeks, nor did he have the first pass like Henan Yin's periphery.

Seeing that in the end, Yuan Shao was so angry that he threw the letter directly to the ground. Wei Xuanjun's ministers were too arrogant.

Guo Tu stepped forward and picked it up carefully, and after just a few glances, he scolded: "Wei Xuan, this bastard really dares to open his mouth, and Feng Yuantu, as a messenger, why is he so timid and afraid?" ”

Yuan Shao glanced at Guo Tu, turned his head to the side without saying a word, and continued to get angry. After Guo Tu finished reading it, he handed it to Fu Zhi, who frowned as he looked at it.

After a long time, he looked up at Yuan Shao and said, "Ming Gong, Yuntu is right, maybe we still underestimate Wei Zhengxi so far." It can only be said that there was too little attention paid to him before, and it is no accident that the monkey clan who can break through Yique Pass in one day, break Yuyuan Pass in one day, and break Lu Bu's guard in one day, and it may be true that he was completely annihilated in the Fuluo Department! ”

Yuan Shao and Guo Tu stared at Fu Zhu at the same time. Fu Zhu said unhurriedly: "Ming Gong, Yu Fuluo is greedy by nature, if he is still alive, no matter whether he wins or loses, he will definitely send someone to ask me for Jizhou to ask for benefits." But after all this time, there is no news at all. If General Zhengxi completely annihilated Yufuluo's department, the war horses obtained may be tens of thousands, plus the capture of the previous battle with Dong Zhuo, it may be calculated that there may be three or four thousand cavalry of General Zhengxi in Shangdang. With so many cavalry wandering in the plains outside the city, and using the infantry that attacked Yuyuan Pass that day, Yecheng would definitely not be able to stop it for a few days. ”

Yuan Shao asked curiously, "Then how should the Yijian Army reply to Wei Zhongdao." ”

"No matter how we reply, we will do two things first, the first is to prevent General Zhengxi from launching a surprise attack, so the entire Jizhou should immediately recruit soldiers and horses, and the rate of at least 10,000 a month will increase, first increase to 100,000. Second, the nearest grain and grass should be recruited, whether it is used for combat or peace talks, this amount must not be less! ”

Chun Yuqiong??????????????? His eyes widened and he asked, "Does the prison army think that Wei Xuan will really abandon Sanhe and attack Jizhou?" ”

Fu Zhu glanced at Chun Yuqiong and said, "First of all, if the attack goes well, Dong Zhuo may not necessarily send troops from Chang'an in time. The second and third rivers for Jizhou, cost-effective! Third, according to the estimation of Yuan Tu and the analysis of previous wars, in order to suppress Yang Feng in Hedong, the general of Zhengxi expanded the county army to 5,000 in Hedong, and the number of Yang Feng's troops plus Wei's private soldiers should be about 12,000. During the Eighteenth Route Alliance, General Zhengxi defeated Kong Ling and captured part of his troops, plus more than 40,000 Tuntian soldiers. If you count the more than 10,000 people who have recently joined Tao Sheng. Although there will be losses in fighting Dong Zhuo, if he defeats Dong Zhuo, there will definitely be a large number of prisoners. In terms of numbers, the command of General Zhengxi may be close to 70,000 people, and in terms of combat power, the infantry siege is quite sharp, and the cavalry can completely annihilate Yu Luo, completely annihilate General Yan Liang's headquarters and inflict heavy losses on General Chunyu. The worst may be to occupy Hanoi and Wei County, followed by Sanhe for Jizhou, and if you fight well, you will occupy Sanhe and occupy Jizhou at the same time, how will you choose if you change General Chunyu? ”

Chun Yuqiong didn't have much choice, but his eyelids jumped while saying Yuan Shao, now he knew why Wei Xuan's bastard opened his mouth to ask for so much food, a war horse was calculated according to the consumption of five times the soldiers, and his four counties were equivalent to raising 1120,000 infantry! Henan Yin is poor and white, victims everywhere, Hanoi has just won and can't make ends meet! He clearly regarded himself as the wronged boss and provided him with food to support the soldiers.

After thinking about it, Yuan Shao asked unwillingly: "How do you think you should reply to Wei Zhongdao?" What's next? ”

Guo Tu thought for a while and stood up and said: "Lord, food must not be given, Wei Xuan is reckless, as long as he does not give him food, he will definitely be forced to withdraw the army." Give him food and he will be stronger. Doesn't he want to fight, the lord can go back to Gaoyi to recruit troops and buy horses first, and he can get tens of thousands of troops in a month, and General Chunyu only needs to stick to Yecheng. After a month, the lord led a heavy army to the south to see how he was arrogant again? The rear of my Jizhou is unstable, but don't forget that there is Dong Zhuo in the west of Wei Xuanxi, the Xiongnu in the north, and the general Hou in the south. Once the war is stalemate, my Jizhou can continue to recruit troops, and the grain and grass are enough, what support does he Wei Xuan have? ”
