Chapter 1545: The Battle of Xuzhou (142)
On the day that Guan Tong and the Jizhou army entered Muping, they first posted the news that a heavy reward was offered to provide information about the money, and he also understood that Mu Ping had always been under the control of Xuzhou, and most of the local natives were from Donglaiyi, so if they wanted to take the initiative to provide information, they could only use money to open the way.
The reward of one hundred taels of gold was released, although the management felt that money could make the ghost grind, not to mention how many people gathered in a day, but there must be dozens and hundreds, but a day and a night passed, and the county government was quiet, not to mention people, not even livestock and dogs barked.
The ambitious management reaped great disappointment, he didn't understand and didn't understand, he didn't believe that the people of Muping didn't like gold and didn't like money, so he had an increased reward, but it didn't work at all, the successive big rewards didn't work, and the management felt that the problem was not that the people of Muping didn't love money, but that there were other reasons.
He began to investigate, and even put on a cloth shirt and linen robe to go to the people, but he didn't know and was startled when he asked, and the people were already afraid of the ambition of the back money, and some of them sold the news of the back money, so that they could get some rewards, but then when the back money came again, not to mention that the rewards were gone, and even their lives were lost.
Although the management gave them assurances, what was the difference between these assurances and Yan Rou at that time? This kind of news made the management understand that this matter could not be done openly, and it was necessary to inquire from the people secretly, and at least not let these people who provided clues know their identities by others.
Without hesitation, he took a lot of money and once again visited the people he had seen in the past few days, and heard the news from them.
Kunyu Mountain, although the exact news he got was consistent with Guan Tong's guess, but he couldn't make the final decision by guessing, and now it can be determined that the money is in Kunyu Mountain, but the next question also came, is it to search the mountain or surround the mountain?
In the school field, Liu Lan walked alone with his hands behind his back, and saw the Jizhou military flag flying in the sky, and now everyone was waiting for him to make a final decision and make up his mind. And if Guan Tong wants to make a decision, he must first refer to Yan Rou at that time, to be honest, only Yan Rou can refer to it at the moment, but his situation back then was to besiege the mountain, but there was no example of attacking the mountain, so he either learned from Yan Rou to besiege the mountain, or he had to be prepared and take great risks to attack Kunyu Mountain.
Although the number of Houqian's troops is not large, there are only 10,000 people when they are full, and more than half of these 10,000 people have been recruited recently, so there are only more than 5,000 people who can really have some combat power, and if they really search the mountains with 30,000 people, they still have some confidence.
But the huge Kunyu Mountain, 30,000 people search the mountain at the same time, in fact, it is still difficult to find the back money, after all, the situation in the mountain is not clear, when the time comes, people use the terrain to go around with you, you just search Kunyu Mountain to the bottom and may not find anyone, and this is also one of the reasons why Yan Rou did not search the mountain and did not dare to search the mountain.
But he has a bold idea, isn't he afraid that there will be a situation where the number of people is not large and he will flee without money, then simply gather all the soldiers of Muping County and even the young men of the Ya Army, and search the mountains together with the Jizhou army, there are too many people, it is best to directly surround all Kunyu Mountain, and then he will not be afraid that Houqian will run away from any direction, and it will not be easy to arrest him?
Although the population of Muping County is not large, it is enough to cooperate with them to fence Kunyu Mountain, as soon as this decision came out, he became excited, if this matter is in Jizhou, then he doesn't have the courage, but in Qingzhou, he has nothing to worry about the life and death of the people, even if they are all dead, when the time comes, it will be reported to collude with bandits and forced to kill, and no one will come to avenge them.
Of course, this matter must first be discussed with the account, if they agree, then he will record this matter, everyone signs, when the matter is leaked, no one can escape, in fact, this is also afraid that someone will tell the whistle, knowing that everyone has signed, then he has nothing to worry about.
After all, Guan Tong is from a civilian background, and he has seen too much of these open and secret battles in the officialdom, if he is responsible for himself, he believes in this handle, and when the time comes, I don't know how many people will be stabbed under the block of his troops, and when the battle of Kunyu Mountain is over, his punishment order will arrive, and then these people will be able to step on him to take the position, so to search the mountain, then everyone must first get on a boat, even if one person does not go up, then this matter will be dragged on, anyway, in the end, he will not explain to the above that it will be over, and you people will also follow the bad luck, one of them can't run away.
There are many people in Jizhou, that is, there are many talents, how many people are looking forward to the opportunity to stand in front of people every day, waiting for the opportunity to stand in front of people, so whether it is an armed police or a civilian official in Jizhou, the pressure and competition are the greatest, after all, the entire Kanto, at least seven or eight out of ten are coming to Jizhou, the competition is big, so they naturally cherish everything in front of them, although many people are just a small captain, and even hang the name of a miscellaneous general, but it is also stronger than those who have been staying in Yecheng or even waiting for opportunities at home.
In this way, it is good to be able to lead the troops, slowly establish their own network of contacts, or enter the three major forces in Jizhou, then Feihuang Tengda is not a problem, under Yuan Shao's order, no one dares to drag it down, so when the management of his thoughts is said, no one objected, anyway, when the time comes, it is the people of Muping who will die, there is no their relatives, whether they are dead or alive has nothing to do with them, then as long as the direction of the various generals and the troops is clear, and the space between the troops, It is filled by these people, as if a big net is laid down, between three or five people, put such a person to look for the mountain, just wait for the unified order, then search the mountain, and are afraid that the money will run away, as long as he shows up, then everything is simple, as for the life and death of the people of Muping, they can not take care of it, they can only ask for more blessings.

And at this time in Liaodong, when Xu Huang sent troops to attack Youbeiping, Liu Lan's latest order came, and the commander of the internal guard battalion in Liaodong almost stopped Xu Huang at the gate of the city, and reported Liu Lan's latest order, if Liu Lan's order was more inclined to attack Youzhou before, causing Yuan Shao's chaos, then the current order has completely changed, two-pronged, and this time entering Qingzhou has become the top priority, and even Liu Lan personally ordered Yan Zhi to lead the troops to the battle.
The troops that have begun to go out of the city one after another have to stop, although the existence of the Liaodong Army has always been the most unique one under Liu Lan's account, but its number has been reduced year after year, in fact, there are less than 50,000 people, 30,000 infantry, 20,000 cavalry, Xu Huang, who originally wanted to make a big fuss in Youbeiping and Liaodong, now it seems that he can only leave 10,000 horses in Liaodong, because once Yan Zhi leaves, it will definitely not be possible to lead the cavalry across the sea, the transportation cost is too great, and it takes several round-trips to transport all the people and horses to Donglai, which is too dangerous, Once there is an accident in the vanguard, then the 10,000 Liaodong cavalry may really be dumplings.
So the troops are the most suitable, as long as the ships are enough, the troops of 10,000 people, two or three round-trips, or even one or two times are enough, the time is short, the risk is naturally small, and originally Yan Zhi was left by him to defend Liaodong, and now that Yan Zhi has left for Donglai, then he and Tian Yu can only have one person to go.
First of all, Tian Yu and the Jizhou army have a deep blood feud, he wants to avenge Gongsun Zhan, and secondly, although his time in Youbeiping is half a catty and eight taels with him, but he is more familiar with the situation in Youbeiping, after all, Xu Huang followed Liu Lan to Liaodong very early, in recent years, the situation in Youbeiping has nothing to know about the people's livelihood except for some war situations, but Tian Yu has only been from Youbeiping to Liaodong for less than a year, where the situation is extremely clear, and even if he goes back, maybe the people still know him, He has a natural advantage in fighting against the Jizhou Army in Liaoxi and Youbeiping.
After careful consideration, Xu Huang immediately called Yan Zhi and Tian Yu of the former army to the Chinese army, and the two came on horseback one after another, especially Yan Zhi, who arrived later, saw that he both dismounted, and felt strange in his heart, but he still turned over and dismounted in front of the two of them, and bowed his hand.
After meeting, before he could ask, he saw Xu Huang, who had a strange expression, said the order he had just received, because the order came too suddenly, and he didn't want to delay Tian Yu's dispatch of troops, so he could only announce in such a wilderness that 10,000 Liaodong cavalry would stay, Tian Yu could only take 10,000 people to Youbeiping this time, and Yan Zhi could take 10,000 Liaodong infantry south to Donglai County, as for what to do there, he didn't know, but with the lord's secrecy temperament, it must be after Yan Zhi arrived in Yushi County, there will be internal guards who put the order in front of him.
To be honest, although Yan Zhi has grown a lot over the years, he is still a little nervous, although this is not the first time he has led his troops to fight independently, but it is the first time to fight far away from Liaodong, but he has fought against the Jizhou army many times, so he is still very confident in dealing with them.
In this way, it is good to be able to lead the troops, slowly establish their own network of contacts, or enter the three major forces in Jizhou, then Feihuang Tengda is not a problem, under Yuan Shao's order, no one dares to drag it down, so when the management of his thoughts is said, no one objected, anyway, when the time comes, it is the people of Muping who will die, there is no their relatives, whether they are dead or alive has nothing to do with them, then as long as the direction of the various generals and the troops is clear, and the space between the troops, It is filled by these people, as if a big net is laid down, between three or five people, put such a person to look for the mountain, just wait for the unified order, then search the mountain, and are afraid that the money will run away, as long as he shows up, then everything is simple, as for the life and death of the people of Muping, they can not take care of it, they can only ask for more blessings.
