Chapter 303: Please enter the urn
At this time, Liu Jian, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who had thrown the entire battalion behind, were leading 5,000 soldiers and rushing towards Yangxia County.
When Liu Jian left, he completely abandoned the entire chasm camp, even including the tent materials inside, which was a big loss, which made Zhang Fei feel very distressed.
Zhang Yide felt that his brother was too loser.
However, Liu Jian didn't have much time to explain to Zhang Fei, just urged the three armies to return to Yangxia County non-stop.
And before his soldiers and horses set off, Liu Jian had already sent elite sentinels to Yangxia to give orders to Fu Zhu and Zhang He.
At this time, in Yangxia County, the war had been pacified, Liu Pet died, Luo Jun was captured, and Zhang He and Gao Ran took over the defense of the county.
And it was at this time that the sentinels sent back to Yangxia by Liu Jian also rushed back, and issued Liu Jian's military orders to Fu Zhu and others.
After listening to the military order of the sentry horseman, Fu Zhi was a little anxious.
When this kind of city has just been pacified, the situation in the city is not stable, and Chen *** has not yet been completely subdued, once Hua Xiong follows Liu Jian, I am afraid that the situation will be beyond the control of Fu Zhi and others.
"The lord asked me to wait in the city to arrange an ambush and wait for Hua Xiong to attack, but at this time, the more than 10,000 soldiers of the Chen State have just surrendered and surrendered, and they are not yet available, and our army must allocate at least half of the troops to take care of them, and at the same time appease the people in the city......
When he said this, he turned his head to look at Zhao Yun, Zhang He and the others on the side, intending to ask their opinions.
But these generals don't know what to do about these problems that make them worried.
After thinking for a while, he instructed Zhao Yun and Zhang He: "You guys are good to watch General Chen Guobing, appease Li Shu, I'll go see someone, and I'll come later."
When he had finished giving his orders, he went down to the city.
He had just arrived at the city when he met a man who was about to go up to the city, accompanied by two guards.
Frustration smiled, he was going to see this person, he didn't expect him to come by himself.
"Mr. Ma, I'm going to look for you!"
It is Jia Xu, who is alias Ma Ju.
Regarding Jia Xu's matter, Liu Jian did not tell Fu Zhu in such detail, but he also explained to Fu Zhu that Ma Ju is good at cunning and vicious strategies, and if there is a problem in this regard, it may be possible to discuss it with him.
Fu Zhu may not believe Jia Xu's vision of seeing things, but he can't help but believe Liu Jian's vision of looking at people.
"Fu Gong, Ma heard that Mr. and the schools have already occupied the city and seized the power of the Yangxia army?"
"That's right, it's just that the king sent a letter, saying that Huaxiong may be coming in an instant, but at this time, the city has just been pacified, and I am afraid that there will not be too many troops to set up an ambush.
Jia Xu stroked his beard and said to Fu Zhi, "Fu Gong, can you talk to the city?"
"Let's go!"
After that, the two went up to the city together.
After coming to the city, I saw that above the city, the people were boiling, and the soldiers of the Jizhou army were inspecting the city, occupying the danger and taking over the defense of the city.
Jia Xu looked around the city, and finally stretched out his hand to the east of the urn city and said, "Although this county is small, it has been carefully built by Liu Chong, especially the urn city he built in the east of the city, although it is low, it can be used to besiege Huaxiong!"
Jia Xu's words did not surprise Fu Zhi very much, and he also felt that the best place for this Yangxia City to set up an ambush was tantamount to the Urn City in the east.
Although the urn city was not high, it was barely enough.
However, the key question is what method to use to lure Huaxiong to the east of the city.
Frustrated and looked at Jia Xu inquiringly.
Jia Xu naturally understood the meaning in his eyes.
He coughed softly, then approached Frustration and whispered something in his ear.
Smart people talk to smart people and generally don't get too tired.
In an instant, he understood the key to Jia Xu's plan.
Although they are both wise men, the fields that Fu Zhu and Jia Xu are good at are different, Fu Zhu focuses on "momentum", and Jia Xu focuses on "strategy".
Compared with Jia Xu, who is a person like Jia Xu who is full of intrigues and tricks, he puts more effort into the overall situation and overall strategy on weekdays.
No one is better than the other, it's just that the field they are good at is different.
"Okay, Mr. Ma is really talented, it is not in vain that the lord attaches so much importance to Mr., Mr. Go back to rest, and then I will be in charge of the scheduling."
Jia Xu bowed to the frustrated and went down to the city.
Subsequently, Fu Zhi sent someone to quickly convey his layout in the city to Liu Jian!
Liu Jian was only more than thirty miles away from Yangxia at the moment, and after listening to the words of the envoy, he said on the spot:
"This must be a horse interception strategy, not a frustrated arrangement."
Zhang Feiqi said, "How does my brother know?"
"Frustrated and acting quite right, this method is not in harmony with his character, and it must have been set up by Ma Jie...... But it doesn't matter who designed the method, as long as it's easy to use, it's enough!"
When he said this, Liu Jian turned his head to look at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei: "Fourth brother, fifth brother, this time, it's up to you!"
"Brother, don't worry! I won't let Hua Xiong run away!"
When the sun was about to set, Huaxiong's soldiers and horses had already rushed to the south of Yangxia County, twenty miles away.
In order to find out the situation in Yangxia as soon as possible, Hua Xiong sent scouts to investigate first, while his own soldiers and horses slowed down.
Soon, the scout brought back the news of Yangxia City.
Although it is impossible to get close for the time being, but from outside the city, Yang Xia is in flames at the moment, and the sound of shouting and killing is shocking, it seems that Liu Pet and Liu Jian's fight is still continuing.
The fight was really not ordinarily intense.
After Hua Xiong listened to the scout's report, he said, "Continue to investigate and see if there is any special situation in Yangxia City!" Feel free to report back!"
"Yui!"
The scout returned to inquire about the situation, and Hua Xiong continued to urge his troops forward.
Soon, he could also vaguely see the fire of Yangxia City! At the same time, the shouting and killing sound in Yangxia City also reached Hua Xiong's ears.
A short time later, Hua Xiong's scout galloped back again and reported to Hua Xiongyu:
"Governor! On the east side of Yangxia, the fire was blazing, and soldiers carried grain from the city through the east gate, and went straight north!"
When Hua Xiong heard the news, his spirits were lifted.
He turned his head to look at Yangxia County in the east, but saw that the fire in the east of Yangxia was blazing, which was particularly dazzling in the gradually darkening sky, and under the illumination of this raging fire, billowing black smoke rose in the east.
Hua Xiong is also an experienced person, he can judge just by the black smoke from the fire and the smell of smoke drifting down the wind that this is indeed the other party's grain that has been ignited.
How important is food, if it weren't for the infighting between the two armies to bomb the camp, which was just used as a ploy to attract others to attack, how could it be possible to burn food?
In Huaxiong's concept, there is no such thing as burning one's own food.
"Haha, it seems that Liu Pet and Liu Jian are fighting for infighting, and they are really anxious! Now even the barns in the east of the city have been burned, and I don't know which of them is still gathering soldiers to transport grain out of the city in order to save ...... Well, it is estimated that eighty percent of them are King Chen's old thieves!"
Behind Hua Xiong, Sima Duan Qi of the Western Liang Army asked, "General! Even if the cangqi is burning, but if it is saved by him, he will still have reservations, it is better for us to kill directly from the east, and help the cangfu of Yangxia City to control the fire, if the grain and straw are burned out, no matter who can finally control Yangxia by Liu Pet or Liu Jian, it is the one who is waiting to die! Let my army slaughter you!"
Hua Xiong smiled, "That's exactly what I mean!"
In the night sky, the firelight is red.
The bright moonlight, which had begun to show its head slightly, scattered on the bodies of the Xiliang soldiers through the burning smoke.
The armor on the Xiliang sergeants shone in the light of fire and moonlight
The downward flow is shining, and the intense killing intent is vigorously excites from their bodies.
They walked to the east gate of Yangxia, and at this moment, outside the east gate, there were soldiers pushing trucks of grain and grass, and quickly moving them to the outside of the city.
But when they saw the Xiliang army that was suddenly approaching, the soldiers who were transporting food were panicked, they howled in horror, and ran towards Yangxia City with all their strength.
At the head of the city in Yangxia, the city gate officials in charge of the garrison hurriedly shouted loudly, ordering the soldiers to pull up the drawbridge.
But it was too late.
The war horses of the Xiliang Army stepped on the suspension bridge at the first time, and pressed the suspension bridge with their weight, paving the way for the soldiers in the rear.
At this time, the east gate of Yangxia, because of the turn and flight of the grain transport soldiers, the city gate was wide open, and the soldiers in the city were in a hurry, and there was no time to push the city gate up.
Some of the soldiers with excellent eyesight could see that the urn city behind the city gate was pitch black.
But the Xiliang soldiers didn't care.
In their memory, as long as there is a city gate open to them, with the bravery and skill of the Xiliang army, they will definitely not let that door have another chance to close.
I don't want to attack Yangxia this time, I can actually encounter such a good opportunity, and I can encounter the infighting between the enemy and the two sides to seize power.
Everything in this city will soon be theirs.
Then, Hua Xiong suddenly shouted at the top of his voice, "Sons! After taking the city, you can live happily in the city for three days, and for these three days, you don't need to follow any military laws!"
This was an extreme measure used by the ancient generals to reward their soldiers.
What are 3 Days of Happiness?
To put it bluntly, in these three days, all the Xiliang soldiers can turn into fierce beasts, become beasts, and become thieves.
In the city, they can rob the grain as they please, the goods as they please, the people as they please, and the women as they please.
This was the method that Huaxiong had always used when he commanded the army in the northwest to destroy Qianghu.
It is also the method that Dong Zhuo has always liked to take in the border counties.
In this way, you can win the hearts of the soldiers, reward the soldiers at no cost, and boost the morale of the soldiers to the greatest extent.
But all the calamities have to be borne by ordinary people.
They will be robbed of their food, they will be robbed of their hard-earned money.
They even had to watch those tall and fierce men in the border counties insult their wives and daughters in front of them.
will even be killed with a knife because the other party vents his anger for no reason......
The white bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles. The people are left behind, and the thought breaks people's intestines!
In troubled times, no one will reason with you.
With Hua Xiong's military order, the Xiliang soldiers let out a tsunami-like shout.
Immediately afterwards, I saw them like a pack of wild beasts, frantically rushing towards the city.
