Chapter 17: The Jawed Prancing Horse

"Lu Bu is gone, leading the troops to Yanzhou?" When Lu Yi, who was stationed in the army and Julu, heard the news, he immediately ordered the whole army to assemble without hesitation, drove to Anping Guoxiabo, and sent a cavalry to send a message to Xindu: "Let General Gao drag the enemy army, and give Koji a certain fifteenth, what is the name of the general of the Bohai Navy, Chun Yu Zhongjian?" Defeat him! ”

There was no need for Lu Yi to remind him, as early as Lu Bu of the Qinghe Kingdom, who was threatening the flank, sent troops to Yanzhou, Gao Ran knew that the time they had been waiting for had come, and at that moment, despite the fact that there were still more than 3,000 soldiers on the way to Xindu, they took the lead in attacking Wuyi.

More than 10,000 people roared, and the soldiers in the east of the city were confident that they bypassed the mountains and the vast Hengshuize in three ways, and broke into the territory of Wuyi.

After receiving the letter from Koji Yi, Gao Ran was overjoyed, and immediately sent a message: "Then look at General Koji's methods, Gao Mou should resist the enemy with Wuyi for 20 days!" ”

At present, the situation is clear, Chun Yuqiong and Yan Liangwen Chou are stationed in North Guanjin and South Wuyi, and most of the rear is based on Gonggao County as a heavy granary, blocking the main road to Nanpi. This situation was somewhat unfavorable to Gaolan due west, Wuyi and Guanjin were both mountainous and watery places, and if the enemy wanted to set up camp and defend it, it was only too easy, and it was not easy for him to attack.

Of course, there are relative difficulties and difficulties, if he can't overcome it for a long time and retreats to Hengshui Daze, Chun Yuqiong and others can't do anything about him.

The situation is simple and straightforward.

The best way is to respond to all changes with the same, Gao Lantun troops thirty miles southwest of Wuyi, set up a strong village, and send cavalry to project a letter from Wuyi City to challenge Chun Yuqiong.

As early as the time of the first emperor, Chun Yuqiong had already served in the army for a long time and had made meritorious contributions, and even if Gao Ran saw Chun Yuqiong at that time, he might not be able to get a glimpse of it if he had to bow his hand and present the famous thorn. didn't even respond, Yuan Shaojun devoted himself to building a walled city in Wuyi and Guanjin, digging trenches, and doing enough to defend the city.

Although Gao Ran had a large number of troops, Chun Yuqiong occupied a favorable position, and no one was willing to take the lead in attacking, even if he marched, he only shortened the confrontation between the two armies from Xindu and Wuyi for hundreds of miles to thirty miles outside Wuyi City, and then although the scouts were mostly in the forest in the past, they did not gather troops and horses to attack.

Gao Ran's mission was to hold back Chun Yuqiong's main force, and Chun Yuqiong's was the same, and Yuan Shao's order to him was to defend the city in the area of Guanjin and Wuyi.

Until it snows in winter, everything will be fine in Qingzhou.

Why go to war?

However, what Chun Yuqiong needs to face is not only Gao Ran's less than 20,000 soldiers and horses, but also more than 10,000 elite soldiers who are marching towards Xiabo. When these two armies converged, 30,000 soldiers and horses interspersed and smashed on the head of the Bohai Navy with a thunderous force.

And before Lu Yi arrived, no one expected that in the north of the Bohai Sea, a team of no more than 2,000 soldiers led by their slippery captain all the way south, through Moxian obliquely Gaoyang, three days Gaoyang descended, Yi Yan's banner; Five days into Shuzhou, Shuzhou Kaicheng hanging tiger and Yizong Yi crest; On the 14th, before arriving at Dongpingshu, Yuyang Taishou Xian was in the Yinling Navy, which had entered the Bohai Sea from the sea and took Dongpingshu; On the 24th, the soldiers jumped into the river and Lecheng, and the order of Lecheng County did not fall, but turned south to invade the grain road of Guanjin and Wuyi, burning and plundering 30,000 stone of military grain on the way - the Bohai Navy was shaken.

Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Yuan Shao, who was sitting in Bohai, was furious, and ordered the lieutenants Jiang Qi and Wang Mo to lead 3,000 battalions and 2,000 cavalry out of Nanpi to sweep the enemy army that was moving in the two major towns of Guanjin and Wuyi.

But there was no trace of the enemy's strange army around the grain road, only traces scattered in all directions, and nowhere to be found.

Zhang Jaw has made outstanding achievements in this battle, but his life is not as chic as his actions. Because of Xuansu's affairs, he has always been unpopular, even if he shined in the battle of Gongsun Zan in the valley, after the war, he only returned to the position of captain and made up for his subordinates, and the military horses were not qualified to be transferred in large quantities...... This made most of his subordinates infantry, with only more than 500 cavalry.

Using a large number of foot soldiers to attack between Nanpi and Wuyi, the slightest mistake will be found by the enemy, Zhang Junyi is not willing to try to after the soldiers are defeated, the benevolent General Yan in Yecheng will not give him additional soldiers.

This is not only aimed at him to open his jaw, but even Lu Yi wants to have a sufficient 20,000 soldiers under the command of the general before the duel against Yuan Shao.

After years of war, Jizhou has only three or four out of ten young and strong left, and even the women and children in the family have to go to the field together to barely make the fields barren - Jizhou can't recruit soldiers. Of course, there is a reason why Gongsun Chan is reckless, but even if there is no Gongsun Chan, it will not be much better.

Now in the entire Jizhou, the only soldiers who can be used to fight are the more than 20,000 Jizhou soldiers when the king turned against him, that is, the soldiers and horses under Zhao Yun who are now pressed in Liyang, so the biggest difficulty in this battle is not how to win, but how to die less.

There are few dead on your own side, and there are few dead on the enemy's army.

Shun Shun deserves to take Bohai, and if he dies, there will be no one in Jizhou.

Every year, soldiers, officials, farmers, and merchants all die of more than 100,000 or even hundreds of thousands of people because of war, hunger, epidemics, and cold, but the people often can't give birth to so many people.

In the long run, where will anyone come to serve as soldiers?

Zhang Jaw added firewood to the bonfire at night, and his soldiers and horses were in a valley in the east of Jizhou, so he did not have to worry about the fire attracting the enemy's covetousness, and there was no trace of the enemy army in this thirty miles, which gave him the leisure to think about what would happen in ten or even twenty years.

Twenty years from now, there won't be no one in the world, right?

Looking at this situation, Zhang Jaw felt that it must be General Yan who could pacify the world in the future...... There are more than 300,000 people in Youzhou, and there are people in Jizhou, who knows how many people there are in Jizhou, this battle is being fought every day! Zhang Jaw remembers hearing adults say that there are five million people in Jizhou when he was a child, but now it seems that Jizhou may not be able to have more people than Youzhou.

When General Yan has mastered all the land of Hebei, as long as he rests and recuperates, where will the princes in various places still have soldiers in twenty years, and the world will definitely be General Yan's by then.

In the light of the fire, Zhang Jaw drew a topographic map of Jizhou with a wooden branch at his feet, and near the sea, the carbonized tip of the wooden branch simply drew many small boats. It was the naval army of all counties in Youzhou, and if you calculate the time, they should all land on the eastern coast of Jizhou.

Zhang Jaw doesn't plan to go to Nanpi, even if he goes anywhere, he can't pick up too much credit.

With a drowsy mood, the firelight shone on his red face, and he fell into a deep sleep.

"Tomorrow, tomorrow I will go to Gonggao and beat him up on the way home from Chun Yuqiong."
