Chapter Eighty-Nine: Guo Jia
Obviously, this time the Yellow Turban thieves are mainly looting, and they are not like last time, sticking to the city, which makes me a little annoyed, looking at the messy Xu County, it is obvious that the people of the entire Yingchuan are suffering from the poison of war.
"Tell the soldiers to distribute some grain to the people, and then send someone to Runan to transport some grain," Wang Gang said to Fan Chong, who was following him.
"General, the food in our army is not very abundant," Fan Chong said with some planning.
"It's important to save people first, look at them, they probably haven't eaten for several days," Wang Gang said, pointing to a bunch of scrawny people in the corner of the wall in the distance.
Wu Zhao came from a distance. The soldiers behind him escorted several soldiers with yellow scarves on their heads, walked up to Wang Gang and spoke.
"General, catch a few Yellow Turban soldiers"
"Ask them where the other Yellow Turban soldiers have gone, and if there is any food in the county," Wang Gang asked, turning around.
"I have already asked, they said that they followed a Qu Shuai of Gongdu, and the grain in the city had already been transported to Yingchuan" Wu Zhao's face was also full of solemnity, he was the first in the city, and he knew more about the city.
Hearing Gong Du's name, Wang Gang was puzzled, wasn't this product in Qingzhou in history, why did it come to Yuzhou.
In the next few days, Wu Zhao led the soldiers to conquer several counties in a row, and never encountered the main force of the Yellow Turban Army, but every time he arrived in a county, Wang Gang's heart sank a little, and now he has entered the hinterland of the Yellow Turbans.
Wang Gang stood on the wall of the sublime county seat, looking in the northeast direction, where a high mountain was faintly visible, like a ploughing ox lying prone there, and there were two horns on the head of the ox lifelike.
"General, there is Funiu Mountain, and after Funiu Mountain, it is Yangcheng County, and the 30,000 Yellow Turban soldiers of Gongdu are stationed here" After a few days of chasing battles, I finally caught up with this guy.
"Have the people who went to investigate come back," Wang Gang asked as he looked at Fan Chong.
"It has come back, the terrain of Funiu Mountain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, Yangcheng County is located at the foot of the mountain, Yangcheng County is thirty miles east of Yangcheng County is the seat of Yingchuan, Yangzhai County, the Yellow Turban Daqu Marshal Liu Pi led 100,000 Yellow Turban soldiers to garrison, the two counties are in a corner, I am afraid that it will be difficult to conquer for a while." A sad look flashed on Fan Chong's face, now they only had two thousand soldiers. Nearly 150,000 Yellow Turbans to face.
"What's the situation in Yingyin" Wang Gang remembered Xun Yu's matter and couldn't help asking.
"Yingyin County is located in the north of Funiu Mountain, and now Liu Bi's general Guan Hai is attacking with 30,000 Yellow Turban soldiers, and there are many private soldiers organized by the big families in Yingyin who are desperately resisting, and they can't hold out for long," Fan Chong said with a sigh.
"How long does it take to get from here to Yingyin County," Wang Gang asked.
"There are two roads from the county seat of Chonggao County to Yingyin County, one is to pass through Yangcheng County, and then turn to Yangzhai County, bypass Funiu Mountain, you can arrive in three days, and now there are yellow turban soldiers stationed in both counties, I am afraid it will not work. The other road directly crosses Funiu Mountain and goes straight to Yingyin County. It's just that the road in Funiu Mountain is rugged, the road is difficult to travel, and it is difficult to transport grain and grass."
After Fan Chong finished speaking, he waited for Wang Gang to make a decision.
"Tell the soldiers to rest for a day, each of them to carry three days of dry food, and enter the mountain tomorrow" Wang Gang slapped the city wall hard, although he also knew that if he wanted to climb over Funiu Mountain, he was afraid that it would not be so simple. The continuous march in the past few days has also been a bit hard.
On the mountainside of Funiu Mountain, there are several houses, and the valley is covered with rain and mist. In the past, you could hear the sound of students reading aloud, but today it is gone, and the occasional birdsong or two seems quiet and serene.
Several students whispered quietly, they are all students from the counties under the mountain, came to Funiu Mountain to study with Mr. Shuijing, and now the county town under the mountain has been captured by the Yellow Turban, they have no mood to continue studying for a while, one by one is worried, discussing countermeasures, some people propose to go down the mountain to get rid of the thief, and some people propose to protect themselves.
"Fengxiao, when did you say that the reinforcements from the imperial court will arrive?" Xi Zhicai leaned over to Guo Jia's side and asked in a low voice.
"Zhicai, don't ask him, he can't say, last time he also said that Captain Wang would soon fall to the ground, but as a result, not only did he not die, but he also sealed Ruyang Hou and became the husband of the county lord of Huanting" A student said mockingly.
"It's a certain look away, I can't imagine that Wang Gang has such a method, it's really terrifying" Guo Jia sighed, recently Yangzhai County was occupied by the Yellow Turban soldiers, and he had no place to buy wine.
"The future is terrifying, how old are you, and you still call others the next life, you don't know the shame" This student takes care of Guo Jiatian the most, with the attitude of the eldest and his second.
Xi Zhicai looked at the student's unrelenting appearance, immediately shook his head, and spoke.
"Feng Xiao is just a momentary mistake, don't be so aggressive"
The student snorted coldly and stepped aside.
"That Wang Gang really impressed, there must be a master around him, but he is all right, it is a big mistake to marry the county lord of Huanting, he must also be a womanizer, it is difficult to make a big deal" Guo Jia said with a sneer.
"He has already worshiped under Mr. Xun's door, presumably Mr. Xun will also give him a little guidance, and General He will also have some scruples," Xi Zhicai said.
"This is also true, I really can't figure out why Mr. Xun wants to take this son as an apprentice, this can save his life"
"He is now separated from the Che Cai general, but the Che Cai general is stagnant in Wuyang County, presumably unwilling to fight the Yellow Turban Army head-on, but I don't know what to do after Ruyang," Xi Zhicai asked again.
"Ruyang Hou is young and vigorous, it is expected that he will definitely be greedy for merit, and he will definitely kill all the way from Runan County to Yangzhai County, and he will definitely go deep alone, and he will not be able to advance or retreat" Guo Jia finished speaking, and sneered twice.
"Why did Feng Xiao belittle the Marquis of Ruyang so much" This time the drama is a little puzzled, to say that Guo Jia's analysis last time still has a law to follow, now it is completely subjective speculation.
"Your Majesty's deadline is approaching, when the crown prince ascends the throne, there will be a good life for him, he can only make meritorious service as soon as possible, in order to settle down, coupled with the lack of food and grass supply, the only way to do it is to fight quickly, no matter which point, he must go straight to the Yellow Dragon and pacify the Yellow Turban in one fell swoop. This is also the reason why He Miao stopped moving," Guo Jia said slowly.
"Doesn't that mean that Ruyang Hou will definitely die" Xi Zhicai heard Guo Jia's words and couldn't help asking.
"It depends on his creation, Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, and people will be destroyed by the chaos of the court, he will break the general's rule of the court, and he will definitely be calculated by someone with a heart, as for who it is, or the Yuan family, or the Yang family, or, the He family."
Guo Jia was still talking, and a student walked up to the two of them and spoke.
"Zhicai, Fengxiao, Mr. called you over"
