Chapter 1593: The Battle of Xuzhou (190)
Along the way, the soldiers have worked hard, although they have been with Liu Lan for a long time, and Liu Lan has been changing him, but it is obvious that there is still a long process to care for the soldiers and caress the soldiers, but fortunately, there is Yan Zhi, and he knows how to win people's hearts at this point.
At first, Liaodong did not recruit Hu people to form a righteous army, but this situation changed as Yan Zhi became more and more vocal, and now in Liaodong Yan Zhi is mainly responsible for the righteous army, and it is he who treats the soldiers and Hu people well, so that these Hu soldiers who can fight well have become the main force in the attack on Karasuma Xianbei, and Yan Zhi is obviously a great contribution.
Although Liu Lan once believed for a period of time that the hearts of non-my race must be different, but after contact with the Huns and the small Xianbei, he found that the concept of Han and Hu in this era was not as obvious as that of later generations.
In addition, there is a white horse Yicong who sacrificed his life and forgot to die for Gongsun Zhan, but he was more loyal and reliable than many Han soldiers, so he changed his original idea, and Yicong was really established in Liaodong.
Yan Zhi personally arranged the banquet for the Xuzhou army tonight, and then came to the banquet hall after Zhang Fei rested, when he learned that Zhang Fei wanted him and the Liaodong army to go to Liaodong at any time, Yan Zhi said worriedly: "Wen Chou's soldiers are too powerful, why does the general still have to compete with him?" ”
Yan Zhi couldn't figure it out, in such a situation, either they would join forces to deal with Wen Chou, or they would retreat to Liaodong together, like this The decision that they would go to Liaodong and Zhang Fei would go to meet Wen Chou was really incomprehensible, but in fact, Yan Zhi still had an idea in his heart, that is, he wanted to contain Wen Chou and buy time for the troops to cross the river.
These tens of thousands of horses and horses take at least three or five trips back and forth, and it takes at least two or three days to go back and forth, so General Zhang made such a decision in order for the troops to arrive in Liaodong safely. For this matter, Yan Zhi is actually having a headache, although he is also preparing for the ferry, but he knows very well that when the eldest brother evacuated Huang County, almost all the ferries were recruited, even if he wanted to look for ships now, there was not much hope, and these ferries, when they came to Huang County, they had to go back and forth twice, before transporting all the troops to Huang County, not to mention some of the grain and grass they carried.
And now the size of the army has increased several times, and the baggage is even more so, unless the ordnance is discarded, otherwise even if you start to cross the river now, I am afraid that there will not be enough to choke on the month, thinking of this, Yan Zhi immediately got up and wanted to ask for an order, but Zhang Fei directly refused.
There are some things that Zhang Fei doesn't want to give him to do, but in this period, he can't fake others, it's not that he doesn't believe him, but he doesn't dare to make any mistakes, although he didn't bring cavalry this time, but he has clashed with the Jizhou army many times, he knows the weakness of the Jizhou army, of course, the most important thing is that he is familiar with Wen Chou, and Yan Zhi and the four people of the Liaodong Army also clashed with the Jizhou army, but Wen Chou has no record of confrontation, and his familiarity with Wen Chou is obviously not comparable to him.
Of course, in addition, the most critical point is that he doesn't want Wen Chou to be so unscrupulous, how can he make him suffer a little, otherwise this mouth in his heart is really difficult to settle, when he was in Yi'an, how good the plan was, but because Wen Chou suddenly came out, not only made his plan fall short, but almost even the two great beloved generals Zong Kou and Zhang Ping died, so how could he let Wen Chou suffer a little before leaving.
In fact, the most annoyed person now is none other than Wen Chou, when he chased all the way from Yi'an and went deep into Donglai, he completely lost Zhang Fei's trace, he could almost only look at the map to guess the direction in which Zhang Fei might appear, and chased all the way to Guanyang.
But Zhang Fei's troops seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, and there were no clues along the way, whether it was from the mouths of the people or looking for clues along the road, and after arriving in Guanyang, the same situation played out again, like a headless fly, looking at the map, I didn't know how to choose.
The current situation is to go south into Changyang, or continue to go east into Dongmu, or go north into Muping, it is not safe to choose any direction, especially once you choose the wrong path, it means that you will never want to catch Zhang Fei again, they are a force of nearly 50,000 people, plus heavy vehicles, the passage is very slow, it is not easy to chase Zhang Fei, and if you go the wrong way, it will be even more hopeless.
So he thought about it, and finally continued to go east to Dongmu, this is a compromise choice, first of all, Dongmu is in Muping and Changyang, where to go, if there is no news of Zhang Fei, you can send scouts to these two places to investigate, and then pursue with news, otherwise go to Muping and find Zhang Fei in Changyang, and when you chase Changyang, maybe people have defeated the management and fled back to Xuzhou, if you go to Changyang, then the same is the truth, so Dongmu is the safest and safest, of course, if Zhang Fei is in Dongmu, it will save trouble, directly annihilated it in Dongmu.
To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that he saw Zong Kou and Zhang Ping under his tent in this battle, he really wouldn't have thought that the troops who had been in Yi'an would be Zhang Fei, but from the side, how hidden Zhang Fei's entry into Qingzhou was this time, of course, he and Gao Ran made a mistake, that is, they gave up Chengyang County, or if they had controlled Dongwu Gaomi earlier, the current situation would not have happened.
If you can control these key roads earlier, compared to Qingzhou, it will not be as chaotic as before, after all, what kind of bullshit bandits, it's not Liu Lan who is making trouble in secret, now Gao Ran has completely controlled the Dongwu Gaomi generation, and this is his last card, but he doesn't want to leave Zhang Fei's head to Gao Lan.
The 50,000 army entered Dongmu City in a mighty way, the troops slowly entered the city, Wen Chou kept observing the reactions of the people around him when he entered the city, to be honest, the reactions of the people were very flat, and they could even be described as leisurely, which showed that they had not experienced military disasters at least, or they all knew that there would be no war.
Of course, such a leisurely and insipid is still because Jizhou Junqiu did not commit any crimes, if he orders the loot now, I am afraid that these people will immediately cry and call their mothers, but Wen Chou has no intention of arranging troops here, his focus is on Zhang Fei, as for the windfall, he will consider it after eliminating Zhang Fei.
The people looked at Wen Chou, who was in the lead, from a distance, his majestic style was really eye-catching, at least the people of Dongmu had never seen such a heroic general. Wen Chou directly occupied the prefectural command, and the troops entered the school field and accepted the defense, as for the affairs of the prefecture, it was still handed over to the prefectural commanders and officials appointed by the governor.
In the council room, Wen Chou asked them about Zhang Fei, but they didn't see any other troops since they left, and there was no rumor about it, and after learning about the situation from them, Wen Chou sent scouts to Mu Ping, Changyang, and of course, Huang County.
~~~~~~~~
After the first day of drinking, Yan Zhi became the busiest person in the next few days, not only sending people to borrow boats from fishermen, but also personally responsible for the escort of supplies and the transfer and evacuation of soldiers, and of course, arranging the defense of Huang County and finding out the news of Wenchou.
After three days of deployment, he can ensure that Huangxian is safe enough, of course, if it is a large army attacking the city, it is unlikely to hold it, but Yan Zhi in order to be able to know that Wenchou is going north for the first time, he made a special trip to the distance from Huangxian to Muping and planted scouts, there is a post in the three miles of these outposts, as long as the Wenchou army arrives in Muping, it can be transmitted back to Huangxian as soon as possible, so as to ensure that the main retreat is foolproof.
Don't underestimate this kind of deployment, it will take three days for Mu Ping to reach Huangxian, and it will take five days for Wen Chou's army to move forward at the earliest, and the sentry post he arranged can let them know the news of Wen Chou's northward movement four days in advance.
After all, Zhang Fei was afraid of Wen Chou's large number of troops, and if the number of troops was equal, Zhang Fei could completely sneak attack to win, and then retreat with one blow.
In this way, Zhang Fei's goal has been achieved, and he can return safely. However, before that, Yan Zhi's scouts had been as far as Dongmu, in fact, Yan Zhi had also thought about arranging sentinels from Dongmu, but the distance between Dongmu and Huangxian was too far, wasting manpower, and the gains outweighed the losses, so it was enough to send a team of scouts.
And the most important thing is that up to now, Wen Chou has disappeared and there is no action, the troops are still stationed in the city, there is no news to prove that they are about to go north, the reaction to Wen Chou, he and Zhang Fei are full of doubts, but as Yan Zhi said, maybe Wen Chou doesn't know where they are now, but now they can't hide it for long.
So he thought about it, and finally continued to go east to Dongmu, this is a compromise choice, first of all, Dongmu is in Muping and Changyang, where to go, if there is no news of Zhang Fei, you can send scouts to these two places to investigate, and then pursue with news, otherwise go to Muping and find Zhang Fei in Changyang, and when you chase Changyang, maybe people have defeated the management and fled back to Xuzhou, if you go to Changyang, then the same is the truth, so Dongmu is the safest and safest, of course, if Zhang Fei is in Dongmu, it will save trouble, directly annihilated it in Dongmu.
