Sili, Hedong County, Yongan County. General An looked at the information in his hand, and a helpless look flashed on his face.

As a general of the Xiliang Army, he can be sent to the remote place of Yong'an, so naturally he can't be reused by Li Wei.

Rao is like this, and he doesn't want to watch the Xiliang army fall apart.

"Now there is a shortage of food in Guanzhong, and the grain and grass in Yong'an City have long been exhausted, if it weren't for the people's rations, I'm afraid the soldiers would have mutinied."

"However, in the long run, it is not a solution."

Thinking of the four people who attacked each other in Chang'an City, the Yong'an defenders couldn't help but feel a little big.

"If the princes rise up today, everyone has long been eyeing Guanzhong. Li Dao and the four of them worked together, but it was difficult to save their lives. If they continue to fight among themselves, they will inevitably be defeated. ”

"It's a pity that someone wants to make a career in the troubled times, but in the end he can only stay here!"

Yong'an Shou smashed his fist into the case table next to him, and the case table that was not of good quality suddenly split in half.

When the soldiers outside the door heard such a big movement, they all hurriedly rushed in with their weapons.

Looking at the anxious looks on the faces of the soldiers, a trace of tenderness flashed on the faces of the Yongan guards.

"Go down, you all go down, there's nothing to do with you here."

When the soldiers saw that there were no assassins, they breathed a sigh of relief and retreated silently.

Not long after, Vice Adjutant General Yong'an suddenly came and said to General Yong'an: "General, now that the Xiliang Army is in civil strife, which one should we lean towards?" ”

The Yongan guard was silent for a moment, and said: "Let's wait and see what happens, and whichever one can win, we will take refuge." ”

In fact, not only the Yong'an guards, but also many other county guards, they are also watching.

These generals who can be dispatched by Li Dao and others are in addition to some extremely important levels. Most of these people are not Li Dao and Guo Yan's cronies.

After all, in addition to Li Dao, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji, and Fan Chou, there are still many other middle- and lower-level generals in the Xiliang Army.

Although the strength of the four Li Dao is strong, in the Xiliang Army, there are a large number of middle and lower-level generals, they were all loyal to Dong Zhuo before, and they did not have a high loyalty to the four Li Dao.

Fortunately, their interests are both prosperous and lossy with Li Dao and others. This is also why they are willing to obey the orders of Li Dao and others.

After the Yong'an guard finished speaking, his face was a little worried: "Now that the Xiliang army is in civil strife, I am only afraid that the rest of the princes will take the opportunity to attack." ”

The adjutant general said disapprovingly: "Let's not talk about the great drought in the world, famine is everywhere, and the princes simply don't have enough food and grass to start a war." ”

"Even if there are really princes who raise troops to attack Si Li, there will be no war in Yong'an. As the saying goes: it's none of your business, hang high. The rest of the place was attacked, and naturally there were local defenders to stop it, so why did the general worry so much? ”

The Yong'an guard shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that the state army will take the opportunity to attack Yong'an." ”

The adjutant general laughed twice and said: "The mountains north of Yong'an are high and the roads are dangerous, and it is difficult for the army to pass at all. Even if the state sends troops, it will never attack Yong'an. ”

Speaking of this, he sneered twice, and his face showed murderous intent: "If the Hezhou army does not know the height of the sky, and really dares to attack from here, the general only needs to be with me a thousand men and horses, and a certain enemy will be able to resist the enemy outside the country." ”

The Yong'an guard said: "What if the Bingzhou army goes up the Fenshui River with boats? ”

The deputy general said nonchalantly: "The Fenshui north of Yong'an, the river is narrow, the current is turbulent, and it is difficult for big ships to drive at all. If you switch to a small boat, it doesn't hurt to fall down the river, but if you want to sail against the current, it's impossible! ”

The adjutant general is a native of Yong'an, and he knows the situation in Fenshui very well. The incomparably turbulent flowing water, if it is closely relied on manpower and wind power, it is impossible to swim upstream.

When the Yongan guard heard this, he felt a little at ease.

In fact, he didn't think that the Bingzhou army would attack Yong'an, so he just said it casually.

That night, the moon hung high and the starry sky filled the sky. Even though the time comes, people can still take advantage of the moonlight to travel without torches.

At this time, the entire Yong'an City was sleeping, with a different kind of tranquility.

In that section of the turbulent Fenshui downstream, Gan Ning was leading a thousand sailors and driving a small boat upstream.

"General, this kind of boat is so powerful that it can carry thirty people and swim upriver in such a turbulent river."

Gan Ning also stroked the side of the ship obsessively, and said: "This kind of ship does not need to rely on manpower and wind power at all, which makes the navy, even in bad weather, able to play a role." ”

Gan Ning's face was full of fanaticism, as a leader of the Jinfan thieves who had been on the Yangtze River for a long time, he had seen too many ships.

However, due to the lack of development of shipbuilding technology in this era, the requirements for manpower for ships are still very high.

Like the warship they are riding on now, after Ma Jun's design, there has been a great improvement in power. It is precisely for this reason that they dare to swim against the current in this section of the river.

Although he was excited, Gan Ning was a general after all. He not only crisscrossed the Yangtze River for many years, but also read military books and princes.

He knew that the section of the river in front of him was the place to study this new type of warship, and he must not be careless.

After the excitement, Gan Ning said in a deep voice: "There is a section of the river with turbulent water ahead, we should be more careful." ”

Ganning's ship was at the front, and as the ship advanced, he felt the speed of the ship drop significantly.

The warship traveled for another while, and in the face of the powerful impact of the river, the speed of the ship suddenly became like a snail.

"Not good!"

Gan Ning's face changed, knowing that with the new power system alone, the boat still couldn't cross this section of the river.

He shouted: "All the ship's soldiers listen to the order: everyone is in place, and the boat is driven manually!" ”

When Ma Jun designed this warship, he did not completely abandon the method of manual rowing. Not only that, but the ship also has sails on it, so if the wind direction is right, it can also be used to move forward.

It was difficult for the ships to move forward now, but as soon as the soldiers on board began rowing, the ships were able to move slowly.

Fortunately, the river was not too long, and after an hour, all the warships finally rowed over.

Gan Ning looked at the sky and shouted: "The target is Yong'an, march at full speed!" ”

At the end of the day, the Yongan Shou General woke up early, and he always felt a little uneasy in his heart. He tossed and turned in bed and couldn't sleep, so he simply dressed up and went to inspect the city walls.

On the city walls, the soldiers in charge of the night vigil had long been drowsy.

After all, this is not the time of the war, and there is nothing wrong with them being so lax.

Some of those who woke up were shocked when they saw that the Lord was coming to inspect the city, and they were so shocked that their sleepiness disappeared at once.

They hurriedly woke up the others, and looked at the Yong'an guard with some trepidation.

"You don't need to be like this, I just can't sleep at night, so I came to patrol the city wall for a while."

When everyone heard this, they breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts. Then, they all looked at the Yongan guard with gratitude.

The Yongan guard general is not a soldier who loves soldiers like a son, but he also cares for him.

Faced with famine and lack of food, even as the commander here, he also shared weal and woe with the soldiers, without the slightest speciality.

Therefore, all the soldiers in the city embraced him very much.

Ignoring the looks of the soldiers, he still walked slowly and unhurriedly.

"Huh? Watch out for the woods outside the city and beware of enemies. ”

Suddenly, the Yong'an guard seemed to see a figure swaying in the woods outside the city. Shocked, he hurriedly drew his sword from his waist and stared at the woods outside the city walls.

The soldiers who followed him, although they were a little inexplicable, also nervously held the weapons in their hands.

"Chirp!"

"Quack!"

The people looked at the woods, and saw no more human figures, but saw many birds screaming and hovering over the trees.

Yong'an's guards immediately breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this.

"Could it be that the general is dazzled?"

The soldiers thought secretly in their hearts, of course, they did not dare to say this.

I didn't want to, but the Yongan guard was shocked, he was angry, and then shouted: "Enemy attack!" Enemy attack! Blow the horn! ”

Although the soldiers did not see the shadow of the enemy, they had always respected their commander, and when they heard his shouting, everyone shouted at the top of their throats.

The movement on the city wall, as well as the terrible sound of the siren, have completely alarmed the entire Yong'an City.

The soldiers who were sleeping hurriedly put on their clothes and armor, held their weapons, and rushed to the city wall under the leadership of the generals.

"Damn it!"

Gan Ning, who was hiding in the woods, looked at the brightly lit Yongan County, and couldn't help but grit his teeth and scold.

Originally, the defenders of Yong'an County were asleep. Gan Ning was ready to take 800 sailors and prepare to climb the city wall by surprise and seize Yong'an County in one fell swoop.

However, the Yong'an guard suddenly inspected the city wall, but found the Gan Ning army hiding in the woods.

Fortunately, Gan Ning is a person who can afford to let go, he thought for a while, and then ordered his subordinates: "Wait for the war drum to be beaten, and shout with me!" ”

Gan Ning was angry and shouted loudly: "The 100,000 troops of Bingzhou are here, why don't you open the city and surrender quickly?" ”

"Knock knock!"

The sound of war drums was deafening, and the voice of the eight hundred sailors did not fall behind at all: "The 100,000 troops of Bingzhou are here, why don't you hurry up and open the city and surrender?" ”

Hearing the sound of the earth-shattering war drums and the shouts of the Bingzhou army, many Yong'an defenders were all shocked.

If it is a merger of state troops, if there are really 100,000 troops to attack, Yong'an County, which has only 2,000 defenders, will definitely be difficult to resist.

The Yong'an guard was also shocked in his heart, but fortunately he was not a stupid person, and after a little thought, he knew that this was the enemy's bluff.

Raising the sword in his hand, he shouted to the tent corporal: "Wait for Hugh to panic, the thief army is just a bluff." ”

"The mountains north of Yong'an are dangerous, and the army is impassable. Even if they can swim up the Fenshui River, there will definitely not be too many of them. ”
