Chapter 1554: The Battle of Xuzhou (151)
Guan Tong has no choice, although he knows that he may still be able to go south to Changyang County, but does he have any other choice? But in order to avoid accidents, this time he had to become extremely cautious, after all, the distance between Muping and Changyang County was too far, and on this road, there were hundreds of kilometers, such a long distance, and the troops were not sure what the situation would be after they chased him.
Therefore, he felt that it was best to keep a part of the troops this time, and at least 10,000 troops should be stationed in Muping, so as to not only ensure the safety of Muping Huang County, but also ensure that the troops had enough strength to suppress the bandits when they encountered Houqian in the south.
After the discussion was completed, Guan Tong took the main force of 20,000 people all the way south, at this time there is no news about whether Houqian has arrived in Changyang County, but he must rush over as soon as possible to determine his whereabouts, where he will go after arriving in Changyang, and now the situation that has been chasing after him gives him another ominous premonition, although he already has a bold assumption in his heart, but this is just an unrealistic guess, what is the situation, and the final confirmation needs to be made after arriving in Changyang County, he believes, his confusion will be revealed after arriving in Changyang County.
In fact, now Houqian is all the way south, and when he arrives in Changyang County, there is no way out, even if he escapes again, it is nothing more than an east-west direction, but going east is also a dead end, unless he plans to escape into the sea. But if he fled westward, he would enter Chengyang County, and enter Chengyang County, which means that he was a stone's throw away from Langya, and if he wanted to, or if Liu Lan knew, with their cavalry, they would be able to defeat them in an instant.
He was not surprised at all by such a situation, of course, it was after Hou Qian really entered Chengyang County, and before again, the management did not dare to pull Hou Qian on Liu Lan's body.
The troops came all the way, Donglai is the largest county in Qingzhou, more than a dozen counties, but from Muping to Changyang, there is only one Dongmu County in the middle, a distance of more than 100 kilometers, there are only three county seats, although there are also a few pavilions in the middle, but it can also be seen that in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the population here is very sparse, and it is not an exaggeration to describe the land is vast and sparsely populated.
Under such circumstances, the speed of the troops was very fast, and he even began to feel that if he slackened his money, he would probably catch up directly, and if that was the case, then everything he feared would be meaningless, but unfortunately they certainly would not taste the taste of victory after pursuing the enemy, which was nothing more than a dream.
Awakening from his dream, Guan Tong accepts the fact that they are very far away from Houqian, but he will not waver in one thing, and that is that his confidence in finding him no matter where he is has not changed.
Along the way, it can be said that it is a process that makes him familiar with Hou Qian, if half a month ago, who Hou Qian is, let alone him, including his soldiers, there will be no more than ten people who know this person, but in the past half a month, Hou Qian's information has been seen by him in a steady stream, so to speak, his understanding of Hou Qian is like his old friend for many years.
He knows everything he has done over the years, even better than what his biological parents have done, this person is indeed a cadre, a capable general, no matter who can get him, it will be a great benefit, with strategic vision, such a bandit, if he can be co-opted, Guan Tong believes that he will become his right-hand man.
Left hand, this is not an exaggeration, it is the answer he gave after careful thinking, maybe many people will scoff at him for thinking so highly about Hou Qian, but he feels that this matter will not be so simple, and even feels that Hou Qian has actually been doing things for Liu Lan and is a general under his account.
If this is the truth, then will anyone still laugh at the origin of Houqian? Even if Houqian is not Liu Lan's general, with the ability he is showing now, is it important to be born as a bandit, or even the identity of Donglaiyi, sometimes he will really be a little envious of Cao Cao's meritocracy in Yanzhou, regardless of background, in fact, this person who has not come out because of his identity provides an opportunity to display his ambitions and talents.
Although he can't change the structure of Jizhou now, he still has the right to decide on his one-third of an acre of land and among the tens of thousands of people under his account.
Although it is not enough to talk about sympathy now, but he is inexplicably optimistic about this money, maybe he is not the outstanding person, but looking at the heroes in the world, there are not many people who can really be as comfortable as him in the hands of Liu Lan, right?
There are really not many, at least in the Jizhou army, there has not been a person like Hou Qian so far.
Don't be unconvinced, could it be that the troops, from the upper Yanliang to the lower soldiers, which of the Jizhou army fled in front of the Xuzhou army? Think about it carefully, hasn't it been a defeat all these years, although this time it sounded good and went south, but it was not good to go out, and it was not good to start a war against Xuzhou, and it was so much trouble in Qingzhou, and it was dragged down in Qingzhou and couldn't move, doesn't this explain the problem?
Over the years, many people have said that Liu Lan is just a reckless man, but it was luck to guess that he is here today, as long as they were willing, Liu Lan would have died early, but he didn't think so, maybe he didn't know much about the things of the year, anyway, he felt that he heard the name Liu Lan for the first time in the Battle of Jizhou, and he felt that they didn't have any victories when they faced Liu Lan.
In such a situation, Guan Tong is naturally full of curiosity about Liu Lan, and understands him, from a pawn to today's powerful figures, relying on a pair of hands to lay a piece of the sky, if such people can be despised, then he doesn't know who in this world is still qualified to be valued by those people in Jizhou, so from when on, he looks down on those people who are ashamed.
I don't ask you to see the gap with your opponent, but at least don't have a mouth, dare to say anything, the word war is really simple, after all, if you don't go to the battlefield, it's not your relatives who die, you can say whatever you want to say in front of the general without any scruples, but do you understand the situation, and even look at Liu Lan with the eyes of the Montenegrin army, and even say what to start a war if you don't even understand the situation, this is simply irresponsible.
But after all, the status of Guan Tong is too low, although there is some truth in his words, but the people who can influence are insignificant, and even he can't even affect Wen Chou, but speaking of which, a lot of Liu Lan's things are actually told to him by Wen Chou, although he doesn't know why General Wen's people who are shouting all day long about killing Liu Lan with his own hands know him so well, but it is precisely because of Wen Chou that Guan Tong has a clearer understanding of Liu Lan.
If his understanding of Liu Lan in the past only stayed in the rumors and past experiences, then he learned a more real Liu Lan from Wen Chou's mouth, he knew what Liu Lan was like during the Dong period, and even he felt that there were few people who could compare to Liu Lan during the Dong period, at least he really wanted to contribute.
Guan Tong has no choice, although he knows that he may still be able to go south to Changyang County, but does he have any other choice? But in order to avoid accidents, this time he had to become extremely cautious, after all, the distance between Muping and Changyang County was too far, and on this road, there were hundreds of kilometers, such a long distance, and the troops were not sure what the situation would be after they chased him.
