Chapter 323: Qingzhou Yellow Turban (6)
Zhuang Shaoyou's actions naturally couldn't hide the eyes of Guan Hai and the others in Beihai City, Guan Hai once again convened Li Cheng and Gongzi to discuss the matter, but this time it was not a question of how to escape.
Deputy Marshal Li Chengyi strongly advocated sending troops to raid Anqiu, taking the opportunity to weaken Zhuang Shaoyou's strength, and then threatening the back of Zhuang Shaoyou in Pingchang City, waiting for the opportunity to relieve the siege of Dongwu City, as long as Zhao Ri's men and horses are still there, Zhuang Shaoyou will not be able to concentrate on attacking Beihai, in this way, Beihai City will also be more stable, and there will be more than two months before the autumn harvest, when the time comes, send people and horses out to get some food back, drag the war into the winter, recuperate, and find another way out in the coming year!
I have to say that Li Cheng is a very smart general, and this move will definitely have a certain effect, but whether he can take Anqiu is a big question, and Zhuang Shaoyou is not a person who cares about his head!
After listening to Li Cheng's words, Gongzi shook his head and said: "Zhuang Shaoyou is not a simple person, if our army rashly attacks Anqiu, nine out of nine will suffer a big loss!" Therefore, I do not recommend sending troops to attack Anqiu! β
When Li Cheng heard this, he immediately retorted: "Dashuai, Gongzi, Anqiu is only less than forty miles away from Beihai, and there is still great hope for us to send an elite raid!" Although Zhao Ri is insidious, he is also a member of my Yellow Turban Army, and Dongwu and Beihai are dependent on each other, if Dongwu is lost, Beihai is afraid that it will not last long! β
Guan Hai was hesitant when he heard this, he had been in Qingzhou for so many years, and he had fought with the officials and soldiers all year round, and he had never been afraid of anyone. But for Zhuang Shaoyou, Guan Hai is sincerely powerless. The battle of Puyang, Taishan's suppression of bandits, and the actions in Qingzhou these days, 15,000 men and horses actually beat 100,000 Yellow Turban troops to defeat and retreat, and the 40,000 troops were surrounded by 10,000 people in the city and did not dare to fight, aggrieved!
But what about grievances? Li Cheng said very reasonably, if it was usual, Guan Hai would definitely nod in agreement, but now he is hesitant and can't make up his mind.
Seeing this, Li Cheng eagerly persuaded: "Dashuai, you should continue to suffer from it!" If you miss this opportunity and let Zhuang Shaoyou destroy Zhao Ri and Liu Hu, then Beihai will be alone, and it will be a matter of time before you are defeated! β
Guan Hai's heart shook when he heard this, why don't you understand this truth? But these days, Guan Hai has been deliberately avoiding this matter, not wanting to think about it, just getting by. Now that Li Cheng mentioned this matter, Guan Hai was also very anxious, and immediately asked: "Son, if you don't attack Anqiu and sit back and watch Zhuang Shaoyou destroy Zhao Ri, what should Beihai do?" β
Childe said very blandly: "Surrender!" β
Guan Hai was a little annoyed when he heard this, it turned out to be like this! Why is this guy so weird lately? This is the daughter of a real great sage and good teacher! How could they repeatedly propose to surrender to the officers and soldiers?
"Li Cheng! I'll take full responsibility for attacking Anqiu! If you can win the best, if you can't take it, you have to get out of it, in short, do everything carefully! β
Li Cheng was overjoyed when he heard this: "The subordinates will definitely live up to the trust of the commander!" β
"Wait a minute!"
Guan Hai and Li Cheng were a little displeased when they heard Gongzi speak, and Guan Hai said in a cold tone: "This handsome man has made up his mind!" If Childe is against it, he doesn't have to speak! β
Gongzi was not annoyed when he heard this, and still said calmly: "If this battle is defeated, will Da Shuai and Vice Marshal Li consider this Gongzi's proposal?" β
Guan Hai and Li Cheng looked at each other and read the puzzlement in each other's eyes, could this boy have burned out his head? Why do you always have to surrender when you keep your mouth shut?
Li Cheng's eyes rolled, and he asked with an unkind expression: "Childe doesn't want to report to Zhuang Shaoyou and exchange his brother's life for his own future, right?" β
Guan Hai's face immediately became gloomy when he heard this.
The boy smiled and shook his head: "If the marshal and the deputy marshal can't trust this son, they can send someone to monitor this son, and this son promises not to contact anyone from now on, and his subordinates will never leave the city, I wonder if this can dispel the worries of the two?" β
Guan Hai and Li Cheng were embarrassed, Guan Hai coughed lightly and said: "Childe's personality is naturally trustworthy, but Ben Shuai and Vice Marshal Li are very puzzled, as the son of a great virtuous teacher, why did Childe repeatedly propose to surrender Zhuang Shaoyou, can you ask Childe to solve my doubts?" β
Childe smiled slightly: "If the two agree to this son's proposal, this son will naturally tell the truth; Otherwise, please forgive this son for having nothing to say! β
Guan Hai and Li Cheng glanced at each other, bowed slightly, Guan Hai gritted his teeth and said: "As Gongzi said, if you can't take Anqiu, consider surrendering Zhuang Shaoyou!" β
Gongzi bowed slightly: "In this case, Vice Marshal Li should be careful!" β
The three of them dispersed and left, and when Childe returned to his residence, a burly man came up and asked, "Miss, how is it?"
Gongzi shook his head and said, "Guan Shuai and Vice Marshal Li insist on having a fight before making a decision!" β
The strong man said with a disappointed face: "Miss, why don't we go first?" β
"No! Brother Zhou, there are still 40,000 Yellow Turban Army brothers in the city, Guan Shuai is different from Zhao Ri and Liu Hu, and it is still good to us, how can we abandon them? β
The strong man wiped the corners of his mouth, and said with a wry smile: "Miss, I Lao Zhou just said that, don't be angry, hehe!" β
The son's tone softened slightly: "Brother Zhou, it's been so many years, what do you say if he doesn't remember people?" β
When the strong man heard this, he immediately blew his nose and glared: "He dares!" Although he is my brother, if he dares to be sorry for Miss, I will be the first to let him go! β
Childe's face blushed slightly: "Brother Zhou, don't get excited, I'll just say that!" β
The strong man smiled: "Brother Shaoyou is a good person, I can see it!" Besides, I hugged and kissed at the beginning, and I also watched Miss take a bathγγγγγγ β
The strong man said half of his words, and suddenly shuddered, and wondered very much, how could there be a murderous aura in the city? Could it be that someone wants to assassinate Miss?
"Zhou Cang!! Die! β
Zhou Cang made a big jump, hurriedly avoided the long sword that Zhang Ning chopped, and ran away, shouting as he ran: "Miss, uh, son, spare your life!" I promise not to tell anyone about him peeking at you taking a shower! β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
On the sixth night of the seventh month, in Beihai City, a team of people quietly opened the south gate and headed out of the city. The number of this team is not too many, but they are all vigorous, very fast, tense and orderly, and they are elite soldiers at a glance.
The commander of this force is naturally Li Cheng, the deputy commander of the Yellow Turban Army who proposed to attack Anqiu during the day! After making up his mind during the day, Guan Hai also took out his blood capital, and prepared to attack Anqiu at night with the five thousand elites under his command and Li Cheng's two thousand Yellow Turban wrestlers, a total of 7,000 people, in an attempt to take it in one fell swoop, in order to threaten Zhuang Shaoyou's back so that he could not concentrate on attacking Dongwu.
Li Cheng took 7,000 yellow turban wrestlers to march in a hurry, and came to the place of five miles north of Anqiu City in more than an hour, the north of Anqiu City is Xiaowenshui, it was the height of summer, the river was very abundant, the river was more than 100 steps wide, and there was a pontoon bridge on the river.
When Li Cheng arrived, the pontoon bridge was still there, which made Li Cheng surprised and inexplicable, under normal circumstances, the defenders would definitely burn the pontoon bridge to block the enemy's passage. But now the situation is obviously not like this, could it be that the Anqiu defenders are too arrogant? Well, it can't be, right? Zhuang Shaoyou has been in Qingzhou for more than a month, and he doesn't seem to have made such a low-level mistake.
Well, it must be a trick to lure the enemy!
"Someone! Send a team of 100 people across the bridge to check it out, and be cautious! β
Two quarters of an hour later, the hundred-man team that went to explore the path sent back the news, everything was normal!
Li Cheng was very puzzled, pondered for a while and ordered: "Captain Liu, wait for your thousand-man team to cross the bridge!" Be hidden and don't alarm the defenders of the city! If there is an abnormality, send a signal immediately! β
"Yes! Vice-marshal! β
Two quarters of an hour later, Captain Liu sent back the news, everything was normal!
Li Chengyi gritted his teeth: "The whole army accelerates across the bridge!" Immediately attack Anqiu after crossing the bridge! β
Half an hour later, Li Cheng stood at the head of Anqiu City, looking at the quiet Xiaowenshui under the city with a cloudy face, and a bad premonition came to his heart.
Anqiu is an empty city! Not even a single figure! Although Anqiu has been ravaged by war, there are still thousands of people, but now not only can you not see Zhuang Shaoyou's defenders, but even the people in the city are gone!
At this moment, a scout came running out of breath and saluted: "Lieutenant Marshal, it's not good! From the north, a troop of cavalry, at least a few thousand! β
Li Cheng was taken aback when he heard this, cavalry is a rare thing in Qingzhou, I haven't heard of anyone raising cavalry at home all these years, and the three hundred cavalry under Gongzi is the largest force in Qingzhou! And now there is a cavalry of several thousand people? Whose centaur is this?
Li Cheng grabbed the scout's shirt and asked, "Are you sure?" Are there really a few thousand? If you dare to lie about the military situation, you know the end! β
The scout trembled with fright, and hurriedly said, "Vice marshal, the little one is sure!" There are really a few thousand cavalry, and they will definitely be able to reach the north bank of the river in a quarter of an hour! β
Li Cheng's heart was shocked, and his face turned pale, because he had already figured out whose cavalry this was!
"Someone! Go burn the pontoon! The others ascend to the city and prepare for battle! β
Although the Yellow Turban Lux is elite, he is only infantry, and his armament is average, and he has to fight a field battle with thousands of iron cavalry, and Li Cheng is not stupid enough to be like this.
Tai Shi Ci set out from Puyang with 5,000 iron horsemen, traveled 500 miles along the plain at the northern foot of Mount Tai, and arrived at Beihai in Qingzhou in two days, and then hid in the mountains to conceal his whereabouts, in order to make this today.
Although the combat effectiveness of the soldiers under his command is strong, Zhuang Shaoyou did not expect to use a battalion of 500 people to defend Anqiu City! The people in the city have long been persuaded to go to the mountains in the southwest, and the way is naturally the temptation of food.
If the Yellow Turban Army in Beihai wanted to sneak attack Anqiu, they would definitely send a small group of elites, at most a few thousand. Therefore, Zhuang Shaoyou acted boldly, gave Li Cheng an empty city, and then used Tai Shici's five thousand iron cavalry to cut off its connection with Beihai, so that the Beihai Yellow Turban Army was divided into two again, and although the number of Yellow Turban Army trapped in Anqiu was small, it was definitely the main elite of the Yellow Turban Army.
The Differentiation Project is a success again!
Five thousand iron cavalry naturally can't stop the attack of Beihai and Anqiu, at least Zhuang Shaoyou is unwilling to do so.
Therefore, when Li Cheng attacked Anqiu at night, Zhuang Shaoyou's army was also launched, and he besieged Dongwu City in three ways!
