Chapter 286: Grain and grass arrived, and the siege began
When Liu Ba set off to return to Hanzhong, Jiang Wei also arrived at the Youzhou branch with a large amount of grain.
Shopkeeper Zhao of Youzhou Branch warmly received Jiang Wei.
In the box on the second floor of the branch, Jiang Wei was talking to Shopkeeper Zhao about the war between Xianbei Kebinengbu and Goguryeo.
"Shopkeeper Zhao, I don't know how the battle between the Xianbei cavalry and Goguryeo is going?"
Jiang Wei asked the shopkeeper Zhao excitedly.
"Lord Jiang, the old man has listened to the shopkeepers of the trading houses who came to purchase from the mutual market in the past two days, and this Xianbei cavalry has grabbed a lot of property from the Goguryeo people and also captured a lot of slaves!"
When the shopkeeper Zhao heard this, he informed Jiang Wei of the news he had heard from the shopkeeper of the firm.
However, Jiang Wei heard the news and did not have the details that Lin Chuan told him before he came to Youzhou.
So Jiang Wei shifted the topic to the grain and grass, and said to the shopkeeper Zhao: "I see! This time, I have transported the grain and grass needed by the Xianbei cavalry to Youzhou, which is enough for the Xianbei cavalry to use for a month. ”
"Okay, the Youzhou branch will transport the grain and grass to the mutual market in batches and transfer it to the Xianbei people, please rest assured that Lord Jiang will do this matter!"
"Hahaha! Shopkeeper Zhao is worried, Lord Liu and Lord Hou of Hanzhong have praised Shopkeeper Zhao for his thoughtfulness more than once. ”
Jiang Wei said with a smile to Shopkeeper Zhao, and Shopkeeper Zhao was also very happy when he heard this.
There are so many Hanzhong branches in the entire Great Wei, how many branch treasurers can enter the eyes of Lord Hou in Hanzhong?
Then Jiang Wei said goodbye to Shopkeeper Zhao and went to Cheng Mansion to meet Cheng Yu.
Shopkeeper Zhao also enthusiastically sent the carriage of the Youzhou branch to send Jiang Wei to Cheng Yu's mansion.
On the way to Cheng Yu's mansion, Jiang Wei did not hide his excitement and excitement in the carriage.
"Hahaha, I can finally be on the battlefield to expand the territory for the Great Wei and make contributions!"
There is any hot-blooded man who does not want to make contributions on the battlefield, and of course it must be the blood of the enemy.
In the excitement and anticipation along the way, Jiang Wei came to Cheng Yu's mansion.
"Hahaha, Boyo has finally arrived!"
After Cheng Yu saw Jiang Wei, he greeted him warmly.
"Boyo meets Master Cheng!"
Jiang Wei was also very happy to return the gift to Cheng Yu.
Then the two came to Cheng Yu's study together, during which Cheng Yu asked about the recent situation of Lin Chuan and the changes in Hanzhong City, after Jiang Wei answered them one by one, Cheng Yu couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that Hanzhong has changed so much today!" ”
After listening to Cheng Yu's emotion, Jiang Wei also said with a smile: "Lord Cheng, after you lead the army to capture Goguryeo, it is better to go to Hanzhong City to rest for a few days, Lord Hanzhong Hou also misses you very much." ”
Cheng Yu laughed, knowing that Jiang Wei mentioned Goguryeo and Lin Chuan, I am afraid that he couldn't wait to know what position he had obtained in the army.
So Cheng Yu didn't let Jiang Wei knock on the side again, and said directly to Jiang Wei: "Hahaha! The old man also wants to meet Mr. Lin as soon as possible! Therefore, Boyo must make a good contribution in the army, so that he can break through Goguryeo as soon as possible. ”
Jiang Wei's eyes lit up immediately when he heard this, but he was still embarrassed to ask Cheng Yu directly what kind of official position Lin Chuan had asked for for him.
Then Cheng Yu continued to say to Jiang Wei: "This time, Mr. Lin wrote to the old man, saying that Boyo has the heart to expand the territory for the Great Wei, and my Great Wei boy has this ambition, how can the old man not be fulfilled?"
This time, you will lead 10,000 Great Wei foot soldiers, and after tomorrow's spring ploughing, you will go to Goguryeo with the old man and attack the capital of Goguryeo, the royal capital of Maru! ”
"Thank you for your trust, I will not let you down!"
When Jiang Wei heard that he could lead 10,000 troops and participate in the attack on the capital of Goguryeo, he immediately assured Cheng Yu excitedly.
"Hahaha, Mr. Lin and Lord Wei both said to the old man that Boyo has the talent of a general, and this time there is room for you to show it.
Wait a minute, stay in the house to eat and rest, just the grain and grass given to the Xianbei people have also arrived in Youzhou, tomorrow the old man will take you to the Cao army camp in Liaodong County, participate in the drill, and get familiar with the troops. ”
Cheng Yu has high hopes for Jiang Wei, and it just so happens that the grain and grass problem has been solved, and tomorrow he will leave with Jiang Wei to go to the camp in Liaodong County.
"The general will arrange everything!"
Jiang Wei had automatically transformed into a general under Cheng Yu at this time, and said to Cheng Yu in a deep voice.
Next, the two began to talk about the battle between the Xianbei cavalry and Goguryeo in the study.
At the same time, large quantities of grain and grass were transported to the land of the mutual market, and then received by the tribal leaders under the command of Kebineng, and then transferred to Goguryeo.
The transportation of grain and grass was different from that of treasures and slaves, and this time the Xianbei cavalry did not pass through Buyeo again, but directly along the border of Youzhou, and transported the grain and grass to the hands of Kebineng, who was fighting against Goguryeo.
Along with the grain and grass, there were the remaining 70,000 Xianbei cavalry.
After obtaining grain and grass supplements and 70,000 Xianbei cavalry, the Kebineng in Goguryeo once again launched a raid on Goguryeo.
Previously, because there were only 30,000 Xianbei cavalry, Kobineng did not penetrate into Goguryeo, but only plundered along the border between Goguryeo and Buyeo.
During this time, a lot of treasure was obtained, as well as more than 3,000 Goguryeo slaves.
Now that he didn't have to worry about the lack of food and grass supplies and troops, Kobineng decided to start going deep into Goguryeo.
In the temporary tent, Kebineng said loudly to all the tribal leaders who came to Goguryeo: "The grain and grass of the Great Wei have been transported to the army, and 70,000 Xianbei warriors have also come to Goguryeo. ”
"The wealth and population of Goguryeo are concentrated there, and the warriors of Xianbei will bring the wealth and women of Goguryeo back to the grassland!"
All the leaders of the Xianbei tribe in the big tent roared excitedly, especially the leaders of the tribe who had just arrived in Goguryeo.
They were already very jealous when they saw the treasures and slaves that were constantly being transported back to the steppe from Goguryeo, but now they can finally participate in this plundering feast!
Early the next morning, the well-fed Xianbei cavalry fed their horses enough forage.
Kebineng took the lead, and with the 100,000 Xianbei cavalry under his command, he began to march in the direction of Marudu City.
The 100,000-strong army gradually divided into five cavalry units of 20,000 people, excitedly and bloodthirsty thinking about the siege of Marudu City!
Under the surprise attack of the Xianbei cavalry, the Goguryeo people also reacted very quickly, and soon gathered the people of all the villages and towns around the city into the city.
The Goguryeo people, grain and grass who did not have time to retreat to the city became the trophies of the 100,000 Xianbei cavalry.
Although the king of Dongchuan was very distressed, there was no other way now, and outside all the cities of Goguryeo, there were Xianbei cavalry wandering wantonly.
However, now that the autumn harvest has begun, the weather is gradually starting to cool, and every day that Goguryeo's city holds out for more days will come sooner for peace talks with Great Wei.
