Chapter 222: The Turtle Travels Ten Miles a Day

When Zhao Hui arrived outside the city of Liaoxi, Jicheng Dian Wei and Zhang Wang, who was disguised as Zhao Hui, finally set off with an army of 30,000.

These 30,000 soldiers were not the elite of the hundred battles before Zhao Hui. Rather, soldiers were recruited from the counties.

The injuries on Zhang Wang's body had already stammered, and this time they didn't need to fight, they just pretended to behave and use them to confuse Yuan Shaogong Sun Zhan.

After learning that Zhao Hui finally sent troops, Yuan Shao sent the general Ju Yi to lead 20,000 men to prepare to cooperate with Gongsun Zan to capture Youzhou.

It's just that after Ju Yi led the army into Changshan, Gongsun Zhan did not send troops immediately, he wanted to wait for "Zhao Hui" to lead the troops to Liaoxi before making a move.

Just look at Zhao Hui, who is pretending to be Zhao Hui, and Dian Wei led an army of 30,000, and they only march ten miles a day.

Starting from Jicheng, he couldn't get out of Yan Country on the first day.

According to the current speed of their march, it will take three or five months to reach Liaoxi.

"Will this Zhao Hui fight?" Ju Yi, who led the army to Changshan, complained.

Ten miles a day, like a snail crawling, they are more anxious than Dian Wei.

"If you want me to say, don't wait any longer, take Beiping County first."

Ju Yi was originally a general under Han Fu, but when Han Fu had not ceded Jizhou to Yuan Shao, Ju Yi had already chosen to take refuge in Yuan Shao.

Han Fu gave up Jizhou, in addition to his own cowardice and lack of courage, Jizhou's heroism and his generals were poached by Yuan Shao, which was also the key.

Not only the generals, but also Guo Tu and others among the strategists were loyal to Han Fu before, and they all chose Yuan Shao later.

The water flows low, and the people go high.

Han Fu is inferior to Yuan Shao in all aspects. It's no surprise that they have such a choice.

Although Ju Yi took refuge in Yuan Shao, the tens of thousands of soldiers under him still belong to Ju Yi himself. He is the strongest general under Yuan Shao's account, and the first person under Yuan Shao.

This time to cooperate with Gongsun Zan and attack Youzhou, it was Ju Yi himself who proposed it, even if it was Yuan Shao, now he had to take into account Ju Yi's feelings. Even though Yuan Shao originally wanted to send Yan Liangwen out of the horse.

Ju Yi didn't want to wait any longer, and wanted to capture Beiping as soon as possible.

Gongsun Chan wants to seize Youzhou, and Ju Yi also has this thought.

At the beginning, he listened to Yuan Shao's words, and Ju Yi took refuge in Yuan Shao.

However, Yuan Shao has too many capable people under his account, although Yuan Shao has not weakened his military power at present.

But Yan Liangwen and Chou are all eyeing each other, and compared to when he followed Han Fu, Ju Yi's power has decreased a little.

Ju Yi is not satisfied with his current status, he wants to occupy Youzhou and become Youzhou Mu.

Gongsun Zhan wants to occupy Youzhou, Ju Yi also wants to, and Yuan Shao also wants to.

All three of them are thoughtful, vain and wronged, thinking that they can succeed.

Regarding Ju Yi's eagerness to send troops, Gongsun Chan is now calm.

Zhao Hui's army did not reach Liaoxi, and Gongsun Zhan was not ready to send troops.

Gongsun Chan said: "He is marching so slowly, he is waiting for us to send troops, he can quickly return to the army to rescue, or wait for a few days." ”

"He can't only march ten miles a day, and after waiting for a few days, they will definitely increase the speed of the march."

Gongsun Zhan and Liu Bei have all personally led the troops, and they are very aware of the army's consumption of grain and grass on the road.

Dian Wei Zhangwang is now leading an army of 30,000 people, marching ten miles a day, and consuming five times more grain and grass on the road.

No matter how much food and grass are sufficient, it is impossible to afford it.

Zhao Hui is just luring them to make a move now, if they can't help but send troops, Zhao Hui will immediately cancel the plan to conquer Liaodong and turn his head to deal with them first.

So Gongsun Chan thinks that now, he must hold back. After Zhao Hui arrived in Liaoxi, he could do it, and even if Zhao Hui wanted to come back at that time, it would be too late.

Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei had already decided that Zhao Hui was now waiting for them to send troops.

It's just that the two of them don't know that Zhao Hui, who is now leading 30,000 soldiers and horses, is pretending to be Zhang Wang. The real Zhao Hui has already appeared outside the city of Liaoxi.

Zhang Wangdianwei walked ten miles on the first day, and set off on the second day, and the army began to camp before then, but he still only walked ten miles.

On the third day, the army left the Yan Kingdom and entered Beiping County.

In the face of Zhao Hui's army crawling by the turtle, Gongsun Zhan had already decided that it was Zhao Hui's strategy and showed great patience.

It's just that Ju Yi doesn't have this patience, he hasn't fought with Zhao Hui, and his understanding of Zhao Hui is very limited.

And Ju Yi is also confident that even if this is Zhao Hui's strategy, he can defeat Zhao Hui through a head-to-head duel.

Ju Yi led the army to Changshan County this time, no matter what he thought in his heart, on the surface, he was here to cooperate with Gongsun Zhan.

Although Ju Yi asked for war every day, Gongsun Chan did not agree, and Ju Yi could only bow to Gongsun Chan for the time being.

If Ju Yi didn't have the heart to peep into Youzhou, he would have more confidence when he faced Gongsun Zhan. He could even use the withdrawal of troops to threaten Gongsun Chan to send troops.

But Ju Yi is also peeking at Youzhou now, and he can't let Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao see that he has this thought.

With only the 20,000 soldiers he now has, it is impossible to get rid of Gongsun Zan and occupy Youzhou alone. He also needs the strength of Gongsun Chan now, and the two sides will cooperate to conquer Youzhou first.

Ju Yi, who has a ghost in his heart, is worried that Gongsun Chan will see it, so he doesn't dare to go too far in front of Gongsun Chan. After another failed battle, Ju Yi returned to his barracks.

In Jicheng behind them, Yuan Shao was also watching Gongsun Zan and Ju Yi all the time.

Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan are now in a cooperative relationship, and although Ju Yi is Yuan Shao's subordinate, Yuan Shao does not trust him as much as Yan Liangwen Chou.

From Ju Yi's request to attack Youzhou, Yuan Shao became more and more suspicious of Ju Yi's purpose.

In Hejian County, the next door to Changshan County, Yuan Shao has begun to secretly mobilize troops and horses here.

The praying mantis catches cicadas, and the yellow finch follows, which is Yuan Shao's favorite thing to do.

Whether it was before or now, Yuan Shao can rely on the strength of others, he will not do it himself, he will always plan in the back, let his enemies consume each other, and finally he will get the greatest benefits.

Western liaoning!

Zhao Hui did not enter the city, and the Zhao Yun camp that arrived first was also placed outside the city, and the grain and grass that were transported later, as well as the 100,000 stone grain and grass from the hands of the Taishou of Liaoxi, were all placed in the camp outside the city.

Zhao Hui took the Modao team into the camp under Zhao Yunli.

The next day, the army was fully mobilized.

30,000 elites disguised as civilian husbands escorted grain trucks to Liaodong, and more than half of the grain trucks were full of weapons and armor of these soldiers.

Zhao Hui and Zhao Yun took 20,000 soldiers, pretending to protect the safety of the grain transportation team.

Liaoxi Taishou received a report from the soldiers early in the morning, came to the city wall, looked at the long grain transportation team, and slowly marched towards the northeast under the escort of 20,000 soldiers.

"I thought that Zhao Hui could let Liu Yu give up the position of state pastor, how powerful it was, and now it seems that this is the case."
