Volume 1 Survival in the Dead Chapter 46 A Sudden Change in the Battle Situation
Rewind time, before the start of this battle, Jia Xu had agreed with Liu to make a plan.
"Hedong is the land of four wars, which is a big trouble for Your Majesty, but it is also a big trouble for Wei Gu and Fan Xian in Hedong now.
Therefore, before we occupy Hedong, we can make use of it.
There is General Zhenggu by His Majesty's side, who was once a general under General Zhang Yang, and General Zhang Yang also helped His Majesty a lot before.
In this case, General Zhang Yang still has some thoughts about my big man.
We can use General Zhang Yang to contact him first and test his thoughts.
If Zhang Hanoi doesn't mind us entering Hedong, he can use some money, silk, grain, grass and other things to lure him, and let him help us send troops to attack Keiguan...
In the end, Fan Xian and others were mobilized, so that they could not care about each other, and then General Guan and Du Hedong could cooperate with each other and directly take Hedong.
After that, General Zhang Yang continued to march the army, pretending to be at odds with General Guan Yu, and the two sides fought for Hedong and fought near Xiangling, so that the news could be transmitted to Taihang.
And Yang Feng, the captain of Montenegro, and Zhang Sheng, a giant from Hedong who was born in Hanoi, will definitely get the news.
If the two of them refuse to send troops, Your Majesty can rest assured.
If they dare to send troops... They were wiped out over there, and then Hedong had no worries for a short time..."
Jia Xu's plan is very good, and it is going very smoothly.
From the people's hearts to the development of the war, he calculated that there was no problem, except for Fan Xian and Wei Gu, two idiots, who argued endlessly over the order of troops and horses, and as a result, Zhang Yang fought directly all the way to the hinterland of Hedong.
Guan Yu was still thinking about how to bring that Yang into the land of Xiangling reasonably.
But before he could come up with any way, Zhang Yang evacuated!
And the reason for the evacuation shocked them.
"Cao Mengde attacked Hanoi, and Hanoi Governor Shi Xuhong quickly reported to Zhang Yang, that Dong Zhao had already surrendered to Cao Mengde.
Now Cao Mengde's soldiers are shooting at the foot of the dog city, and the attack is very urgent..."
When Guan Yu and Du Ji heard the news, the two of them were directly stunned in place, and they came to their senses after a long time.
"Yun Chang, you immediately start to lay out the defense of Hedong, and you must not let chaos appear in Hedong!"
Du Ji had already entered the state at this time, and although he was not familiar with military affairs, he also knew how to govern the place.
"Originally, His Majesty's plan was to let Zhang Yang assist us in garrisoning Hedong, and then give him official positions and titles, as well as money, food and other things.
But Cao Mengde did this... I'm really in trouble now.
After this battle, Hedong was empty, and once Zhang Sheng and the black mountain thief knew about the situation here, they would definitely not be able to help it..."
"And Hongnon!" At this time, Guan Yu's face was also ugly, "Zhang Yan of Hongnong already covets Hedong and other places.
Now, if we let him find out about the omission, I'm afraid it would...
But I can't wait for enough soldiers and horses! β
At this time, Guan Yu couldn't help but curse angrily, he brought thousands of soldiers and horses on this trip, and even if he added the surrender of troops in this battle, there were only 10,000 soldiers.
But this Hedong County... Hedong is no better than others, and its territory is as vast as that of ordinary two counties.
There are as many as 20 counties under his rule, and large and small cities need to be garrisoned by soldiers and horses, and they also need to replace the previous soldiers and horses for training.
Moreover, this Hedong County has recently asked for foreign races from the direction of Fengyi County on the one hand, and on the other hand, it has to be careful of the high-ranking cadres of the state, plus the black mountain thieves of Taihang, and Zhang Sheng between Kun and Mi.
He Guan Yu can't take care of it even if he has three heads and six arms now!
Seeing that Guan Yu had begun to be a little anxious at this time, Du Ji slowly quieted down.
"It's okay!" Du Ji raised his hand to make Guan Yu not panic, "Although we are short of soldiers and horses, other forces may not know about this.
Instead of waiting until embattled, it's better ... Put all oneβs eggs in one basket! β
"What do you mean?"
"Take the initiative to reveal the news to the guy in Hongnong County..."Du Ji's eyes showed a hint of ruthlessness at this time, "Compared to others."
This Hongnong's Zhang Yan was just a stream of rogues wandering in the border of Hedong.
As long as we wait for more flags in Pingyang, Huze, and Jiangyi, we will use Jia Kui as a general to bluff and deter the state and Montenegro.
Then send soldiers and horses to patrol Dayang to the Dongyuan area, and let that Zhang Sheng throw a mouse trap.
In the end, Hebei County was deliberately emptied, and it was revealed that Hedong was empty, and the Fan family was destroyed..."
"Why do you want to talk about the Fan family?"
"Only when the Fan family is killed by us can the thief think of the huge amount of money of the Fan family, and they will be moved..."
Before Du Yi finished speaking, Guan Yu turned around and left directly.
The rest of the things Du Ji can't do, he has a rough plan, but the final command and battle still depend on Guan Yu...
After watching Guan Yu leave, Du Ji also sighed directly, and then immediately wrote several letters.
One of them was given to Jia Xu, who was still at the Fengling Ferry, asking him to carefully guard the Fengling Ferry, and told Xu Huang, the current guard of Tongguan, in case someone sneaked attacked.
As for asking Jia Xu to help... Although Du Ji is not familiar with Jia Xu, he can also see the character of this guy.
It's already very difficult for him to take the initiative to stand up, and if you want him to help, it's even more like a dream.
The second letter he sent directly to Feng Yijun.
At this time, Feng Yijun has been handed over to Su Ze to govern, although Feng Yijun is also a mess now, and Su Ze is too busy to take care of himself, but if it really comes to the last resort...
Then I can only ask Su Ze for help.
The third letter was addressed to Su Gu.
As for the content, it is enough to make his heart tremble.
After all this was ready, Du Ji began to continue the layout of Hedong County.
Although there is a lot of danger in Hedong County now, it has not affected his plans here in Duji.
"Although Hedong is in the land of four wars, it is also regarded as an outstanding place of people, and many famous people live in seclusion.
You also take my handwritten letter, as well as Your Majesty's appointment and edict, to Wenxi County to find Pei's Mao Gong of Wenxi Pei's family
He was the son of Pei Bingzhou back then, and he had a lot of prestige in Bingzhou, and he was a member of the Hedong Wang family.
At the same time, he is also a loyal and good man of the Han Dynasty.
When the former Emperor Xiaoling was still alive, he had already served as the county commander and the last official of the county guard, and he had a little nostalgia for the imperial court.
Now he lives in seclusion in his hometown, but he has never resigned from his official position.
You go to him, and I hope he will go out again to serve the court."
At this time, Du Yi directly handed over a small bag to his personal companion You Chu, and then asked him to lead people to find Pei's out of the mountain.
At the same time, I once again invited another handsome man of the Wei clan, Wei Qi.
Although I didn't want to get in touch with Weishi so quickly, I had to make a change now.
Wei Qi has long been famous in the township, and was recommended by the county as filial piety, but after passing the assessment, he has been unwilling to really show up.
Now Du Ji invited him to serve as the governor of the county, but he refused.
Under Du Yi's repeated invitations, he agreed to take Du Ji's recital to Chang'an to meet Liu Xie.
Du Yi did this not just to win over, but more to let the various wealthy families in Hedong see the "relationship" between him Du Yi and Wei Qi.
That Wei Qian is willing to envoy to Chang'an for him, which has a certain meaning, and many wealthy families in Hedong will have more or less scruples after seeing this.
After all, Hedong Wei's family... The ancestor of the family is the great general Wei Qing, even if he is lonely now, the foundation is still there.
Otherwise, he Weigu would not be able to suppress the Pei family and become one of the two "overlords" in Hedong.
Of course, the Fan family... It was a pure accident.
Rao is Du Ji, who was born in the Jingzhao clan, and he didn't think that the ancestor of the Fan family in Hedong was when he thought about it, and he couldn't help but say that this troubled world... It is indeed able to be a lot of magic long ago.
In addition to co-opting and using these wealthy families in Hedong, Du Ji once again redivided the land that the Fan and Wei families wanted to come over, on the one hand, to find the displaced people and redistribute land and money and grain to them.
Let them settle down as soon as possible and become the good and obedient people of Hedong County again.
On the other hand, it is to invite many hermit Confucian sects in Hedong County, such as the Lexiang Le Wenzai who returned to the hermit township after completing his studies, and Hedong invited him out to preside over the affairs of Hedong.
Educate the people, set up schools, and open up people's wisdom.
At the same time, in the name of the imperial court, he once again found the hermit Jiao Xian, although he had no official or position, he was a true loyal man of the Han Dynasty.
When I saw the decline of the Han Dynasty, I knew that I was powerless to restore the edifice that would collapse.
He directly exposed his head and bare feet, grew grass for his house, ate grass and drank water, and worked for people when he was hungry, and he refused to speak without a crown or a job.
What I have learned will never be used by anyone again.
can't serve the big man, but he doesn't want the big man to be more turbulent because of his mistakes.
At this time, Liu Xie had a foothold in Chang'an, and there was already a revival, and Du Ji directly invited him in the name of the imperial court and Liu Xie, thinking that he could use it.
So as to help him deal with government affairs together, and he can also be a horse bone of a daughter.
In addition to these, the rest is to sort out many government affairs in Hedong County with Sun Zi and others.
As for the coming scourge...
"Yun Chang has the appearance of a famous general, I believe he can take down that giant Kou Zhang Yan!"
Just this sentence completely set the tone for everything.
Let the crowd say no more.
And Guan Yu did live up to expectations, and after the layout of Kashgar according to Du Ji's instructions, he personally led thousands of soldiers and horses to ambush in Hebei County.
At the same time, the news will be spread to Hongnong.
Sure enough, Zhang Yan, a giant who robbed everywhere at the border between Hongnong and Hedong, really couldn't hold back the greed and desire in his heart after getting the news.
No matter what the court is or not, it doesn't care what chaos in the world is.
As a gangster who "feeds one person and the whole family is not hungry", Zhang Yan almost did not hesitate and directly led the soldiers and horses to find a place to cross the river.
Although Zhang Yan was a little reckless, he was still familiar with the terrain, and he did not force the river directly, but looked for a suitable opportunity to set off quietly in the middle of the night.
Starting from Huxian in Hongnong County, he went directly to the west of Hebei County by boat, and then if nothing else, he could directly bypass Hebei County and directly rush into the vicinity of Anyi County.
"Break through Anyi and rob the money and food!"
"In the future, you and I will finally not have to go hungry!"
At this time, Zhang Yan, who was feeling the surging river on the bow of the boat, couldn't help but let out a cheer to the soldiers behind him.
Although he hadn't entered Hedong County yet, he had already thought about how to spend the money, and even thought that this Fan family had a few handsome little girls...
After breaking through Anyi, see where the Fan family is.
Rescued them themselves, and they gave their bodies to repay them... Isn't that great!
Thinking of this, Zhang Yan couldn't help but suck a mouthful of saliva that was about to flow out.
In the night, the group quickly advanced towards Hedong County, and at a small ferry crossing that was almost deserted, they began to land slowly.
The group was silent, not daring to make any sound, for fear of affecting this action.
But they were so careful, but they were directly disrupted by the sound of a bang.
With the sound of the bangs in this life, the countless arrows rained down directly on their heads.
Immediately after the torches rose, a burst of shouts of killing rushed from all directions.
The thieves under Zhang Yan's command had not completely disembarked from the ferry at this time, and it was when they could not advance or retreat, and this sudden ambush suddenly made them panic.
In the chaos, the thief Kou Zhang Yan vaguely seemed to see a general with a red face and a big beard rushing straight towards him.
"This fire shines... Why is this man's face so red? β
At the last moment of his life, Zhang Yan actually thought of such an unreliable sentence.
Then Guan Yu, who rushed over, cut off his head.
The remaining words that I wanted to say became a complete joke at this time, and the headless corpse "fluttered" and fell to the ground at once...
The henchmen around Zhang Yan didn't expect this bearded man to be so ruthless, and after he suddenly appeared, he killed them directly in front of them, so that they didn't even have time to react.
The ensuing battle made their hearts tremble even more, and this army of soldiers and horses who didn't know how many people kept rushing towards them.
But after half an hour, less than 1,000 people fell into the river and were swept away by the surging river.
And the rest of the soldiers and horses finally knelt on the ground at this time, begging Guan Yu to spare his life...
"All the troops were taken away, the bodies were recovered, and all the corpses... Cast Jingguan! β
A pile of corpses appeared at the junction of Hedong County and Hongnong County.
The top one is the immortal Hongnong giant Zhang Yan.
His head, as well as the corpses of the thieves under his command, were enough to deter many young people.
At the very least, Zhang Sheng, who was already planning to evacuate from Kun and Mi, began to recalculate after hearing about this incident...
The war in Hedong County was barely stable at this moment.
And the latter thing, for them and for Liu Xie, is the real challenge.
