Chapter 1556: The Battle of Xuzhou (153)
Early the next morning, the management led the Jizhou army to continue to march to Changyang County, from this point on this road will not have Tingli Village, such a situation, it seems that the army marches reasonably, because there is no need to avoid the road on both sides of the winter rice, trampling on the dealer, but the other situation is because after all, it is located in the middle of nowhere, the situation here is not very good, there is no dirt road at all, it is not smooth, all the way potholes, for the people who are familiar with the terrain, such a road is not too difficult, but for them, But it was extremely difficult.
For the rest of the road, in fact, it has always been the most important one of the officials at all levels in Xuzhou, no matter who takes office, the first thing is to build the road, but the situation in Qingzhou is slightly different, although Yan Rou is here in front of the county guard, but he has only been in office for a year, although there is a gold mine, but there are too many places that need money, and most of them have to be handed over directly to Xuzhou.
In this case, coupled with the two rebellions of Houqian, the road was only renovated in Huangxian and other places, and it seems that Muping to Dongmu and Changyang have not been repaired at all, and because Muping and Dongmu are close to each other, the people move around more, so the road situation is not bad, but the road from Dongmu to Changyang is a bit of a headache, not to mention the road, even the ruts have long disappeared.
Of course, for the commander, the muddy roads in front of him could never be an excuse for the slow march, so he specially ordered the troops to walk at least the number of miles per day, even if it was dark, they had to walk, when they met the requirements, when to rest, no way, in such a special period he must use some special means, otherwise it may take how long it will take to catch up with Houqian.
At that time, if the soldiers come to the city and run away again, they won't even see a shadow, and compared with the hard work of going south, wouldn't it be more unwilling?
For Hou Qian, he can be at ease in Liu Lan's two encirclements and suppressions and his encirclement and suppression, although it can be counted as three encirclements and suppressions, but it can be seen that this person has his own ideas about what he wants to do and how to do better, first of all, he is very wise, understands the disparity in strength, and understands their terribleness, he will never use less than 10,000 troops to fight more with less, and he is also an elite like the Jizhou army.
Or, when he was defeated with nearly 30,000 people and Tai Shi Ci but 5,000 people, he understood this truth, the number of soldiers seems to be overwhelming, but on the battlefield, and the real elite competition, there is not much chance of winning, although he is a mountain village man, no knowledge, but he also knows that the scale of hundreds of thousands of people in the Yellow Turban back then, in the end, it was not defeated in the hands of tens of thousands of Huangfu Song, so there are not many people, and it is not enough to make him more confident, and since then he has learned to be smart, and he can't beat it. In terms of understanding Donglai and even the entire Qingzhou, there may be few people who can compare with him.
Knowing that Guan Tong brought 30,000 people, the money was a bit of a mess, to be honest, the raid on Huang County was completely a decision made in annoyance and anger, and when he caught Gao Kui, he realized what an unforgivable mistake he had made, which made him feel frightened for a while, but it was useless, there could be no remedy, he had to calm down and find a way to solve the trouble he brought to himself because of impulsiveness.
So he directly evacuated Huangxian on the second day, and came all the way to Changyang, but less than the day after entering Changyang, a stranger suddenly came, saying that he was ordered by Liu Lan to come to meet General Houqian.
For such a news, he was really surprised at first, Liu Lan sent someone to see him? How is this possible, even if he surrendered back then, Liu Lan didn't see it, but he met with Yan Rou, and then he became the captain of Donglai, at this time, someone told him that he came on Liu Lan's order, and he first felt that it was impossible.
But after thinking about it, although the current situation is not what he wants, but the current situation is undoubtedly what he has always dreamed of, he was originally an unknown small people in Donglai, if it weren't for the strength of his two arms, he would be a farmer who no one knew at best, but due to fate, his current name appeared on the desk of almost every prince in the world, and even down to the local people, all talking about when he would be brought to justice.
And this is also the extremely underdeveloped communication of this era, which is completely the result of word of mouth, but even so, he is now a well-known figure in this era, at least compared to when Tai Shici recruited him, many people began to pay attention to him.
If he thought about it like this, it was not impossible for Liu Lan to send someone to see him, and he ordered: "Bring that person to me." ”
Soon, a man entered, not too tall, but very strong, wearing a hat that covered half of his face, so he could only see his size, but not his face.
"What's your name?"
"The boy's name is Wan Quan, he is the head of the internal guard battalion, and he came to visit the general on the order of the lord Liu Lan." After the person finished speaking, he took off the hat, his childish face was not even up to the crown, and said with a smile: "You can become a chief at this age, it seems that you must have some ability?" ”
"The kid is nothing more than a writer who can draw, and he doesn't have any ability." Wan Quan bowed and replied.
"Since ancient times, heroes have come out of youth, and you don't need to be humble." Hou Qian is not the kind of person who bites the text and drags the words, because in his dictionary, he also knows this, and if he continues to talk about it, he will inevitably reveal the stuffing, and hurriedly get straight to the point: "What do you want to see me this time?" ”
"My master boy came, because he knew that the general planned to bring the Jizhou army to Xuzhou, so he asked the boy to tell you, it's best not to do such a risky thing, it will not be good for you and us, he hopes that the general can think twice, as long as you don't bring the Jizhou army to Xuzhou, no matter what conditions are proposed, it is easy to say, otherwise, my lord has to make some corresponding measures to respond to the general."
"Haha." Hou Qian Lang laughed, but his heart was really empty, he knew what he thought Liu Lan did, he first felt that there must be an inner ghost planted by Liu Lan around him, but after thinking about it carefully, it didn't seem to be, because no one had such an opportunity to inform Liu Lan at all, so he could be sure that Liu Lan just judged his plan by going all the way south?
And it was precisely when he guessed this possibility that he felt flustered and frightened, he said with a smile: "Since General Liu knows it, then I have nothing to hide, but if you want me to give up, it is absolutely impossible, as for how Liu Lan wants to deal with me, will I be afraid of him?" ”
"Does the general really not think about the consequences?"
"If that's all you want, get out." Hou Qian's eyes became cold, he looked at the henchmen beside him, and made a knife movement with his palm, of course, this is not an action to kill people, but to let Liu Lan know something powerful, leaving something from the body of the person in front of him.
"My lord said that the general is a great hero in the world, a great hero, and the things decided will definitely not be changed easily, but my general didn't say it, as long as the general does not lead the Jizhou army to Xuzhou, no matter what conditions are proposed, he will consider it."
"Really?" Hou Qian sneered and said, "If that's the case, will you send a Bai Chang over?" ”
"In an emergency, the only one who can come to see the general as soon as possible is the kid, so the matter is urgent, so the kid is sent here." Wan Quan said: "Moreover, my lord told the boy very clearly that as long as the general does not lead the enemy army into Xuzhou, he is willing to recommend you as the Taishou of Donglai!" ”
"Haha, it's ridiculous, Donglai, as long as I lead the Jizhou Army to Xuzhou, Donglai is mine, and I still need Liu Lan's bullshit recommendation." Hou Qian stroked his full beard, but his shrewd eyes kept turning, and he was thinking about how to get some tangible benefits from Liu Lan's hands.
Of course, if you get the benefits, you will get the benefits, and lead the Jizhou army to the Jizhou army, he is not stupid enough to really disrupt the established plan because of these benefits, after all, once the Jizhou army is not led to Xuzhou, he will not be able to stay in Qingzhou, and sooner or later he will be exterminated by the management system, it can be said that the only way for him to survive now is to let the Xuzhou army and the Jizhou army fight, only in this way can he take advantage of the chaos.
So he directly evacuated Huangxian on the second day, and came all the way to Changyang, but less than the day after entering Changyang, a stranger suddenly came, saying that he was ordered by Liu Lan to come to meet General Houqian.
For such a news, he was really surprised at first, Liu Lan sent someone to see him?
