Traffickers are the lowest level of existence in society. The casualties of an ordinary soldier are not in the eyes of those big men at all. For an army of tens of thousands of people. Even more so. right now. Guan Yu not only sent people to find the soldier. And explain to others to slow down at the same time. This "people-oriented" command was conveyed. The soldiers were all moved.
But everyone understands the weight of the burden on their shoulders. They are grateful. The pace did not slow down. It's just that many small reminders have been added to each other. The team moved faster on the mountain road.
Walked through this section of mountain road. Tiangong also seemed to be moved. Yue'er appeared from the cloud and opened her face. The surrounding scenery became hazy for a while. By the light. The soldiers began to trot all the way. Finally rushed to the south of Liangqi at the fourth hour.
Received the order to rest in place. The soldiers hulled and lay down a large area. Although everyone usually does long-distance cross-country training. But like this, he marched more than three hundred miles overnight. It is something that has never happened before. Many people can't even breathe. Take time to rest. Rejuvenation is necessary.
Guan Yu and his son did not rest. A large marching map was laid out in front of them. Guan Yu looked at it for a while. Asked: "Ping'er. Which one do you choose between Liang Qi and Handan."
Guan Ping said without hesitation: "I'm going to fight Handan."
Handan is the county town of Zhao State. The city is high and deep. It is definitely not comparable to a small county like Liangqi. For Guan Ping's answer. Guan Yu was very satisfied. Touching his palm: "Okay. Ambitious. Waiting for the news of your victory for my father."
In order not to attract the attention of Liang Qi defenders. Lest Handan has been prepared. After Guan Yu was led by Guan Ping, he left. He waited until dawn before opening the offensive against Liang Qi.
at this time. Liu Xin also led the army to the blocking position. Although there are only 10,000 people. But the company that was set up lasted for dozens of miles. It surprised him.
Yan Yan learned that the army had arrived. We have already left the camp to welcome me. See Liu Xin's question. Quickly explained: "Your Majesty. This is the old camp of Ju Yizha. There are still 300,000 soldiers living in the camp. So it has not been demolished."
Liu Xin couldn't help frowning and said, "How come there are still 300,000 soldiers living here. Didn't I order them to be disarmed and returned to the fields."
Yan Yan arched his hands and said: "Go back to your Majesty. These people are not willing to leave. They said. Even if they return home. Sooner or later they will be forcibly recruited again. It's better to stay here. And eat well with us. They are all. I don't want to go anymore."
"Oh. There is such a thing. Isn't Yuan Shao's grain and grass always sufficient." Liu Xin suddenly became interested. Waved. Said. "Go. Take me to have a look."
In the barracks. Those Yuan Jun Jiangmen are eating breakfast. There was a bowl of porridge and two steamed buns in front of everyone. Liu Xin couldn't help but ponder: "This food is also very ordinary."
The food of the Han army is very particular. Even the breakfast will be quite hearty. Except porridge and steamed buns. There will also be eggs, milk or soy milk. At noon and in the evening, meals are served with meat. But the meals of these Yuan Jun Jiangmen are very ordinary. Why are they reluctant to leave
Yan Yan smiled and said, "They are on Yuan Shao's side. The food is much worse than here. The steamed buns are mixed with a lot of grains. Even wheat bran."
Liu Xin nodded secretly. Turning to Xu Huang, he said: "I see it. Yuan Shao is just superficial. After years of fighting. He is now a strong foreigner. If this continues, I am afraid that he will start to deduct the soldiers' salary."
Xu Huang smiled and said, "After this battle. He has no chance of deducting payment."
The generals all laughed. Those Yuan Jun Jiangmen who were eating turned around. Wait and see here. A list of listless faces. Some are already hanging old people. Some are just juveniles who are still childish. Liu Xin sighed again. He shook his head and sighed: "This is the so-called Yuan Jun Elite. It shows that Yuan Shao has gradually been short of money and food. Even the soldiers are already very nervous. The elite is still so. The newly recruited soldiers in Yecheng are even more predictable."
Zhang Fei shouted from the side: "Big Brother. Then what are we waiting for. Quickly kill him. Grab the old man Yuan Shao."
Zhang Yun laughed and said: "Brother. What are you in a hurry? Your Majesty is waiting for news from the seven passers-by. You can catch Yuan Shao in one go."
"Yes. I also hope to end this war as soon as possible. So that the people of the world can lead a peaceful life." Liu Xin sighed up to the sky. Suddenly he turned to Xu Huang and said. "However. How to fight this battle. It's up to you."
Liu Xin has always emphasized letting the most suitable people do the most suitable things. He himself is more suitable for finding problems from a strategic perspective. Make a decision. And the specific combat is more appropriate to Xu Huang and others. He didn't want to point fingers too much. The price paid for chaotic command is the lives of thousands of soldiers.
The news ahead did not make them wait too long. Two hours later. The people sent to various places sent back news. The seven cities were taken down almost effortlessly. The neglect of guards in counties is certainly one aspect. More important is the emptiness in the city. There are no soldiers available at all.
Take Handan as an example. This is Zhao's governing office. And it is the gateway to the north of Yecheng. It should have been heavily guarded. Therefore Guan Ping is very careful. He first sent troops to set up checkpoints on the main roads leading to Handan. All the people who went to Handan early in the morning were intercepted. Then let his soldiers change into civilian costumes. In order to sneak into the city.
The city gate opened on time. There were only two soldiers guarding the gate in each place. And it's all yawning. The people entering the city gate were not questioned at all. It only took a while. Nearly a thousand soldiers of the Han army mixed into the city in disguise. While most of the people in the city are still asleep. These disguised soldiers quietly controlled the four doors. transmit signal. The troops of the Han army in ambush on the outskirts of the city swarmed into the city.
Zhao Guo was originally a feudal country. But now there is no prince. Yuan Shao set up the prefecture here. It's just that there is no time to change the state of Zhao to Zhao Jun. but. Due to the important geographical location of Handan. Yuan Shao sent Simpi, his important adviser, to serve as the county guard.
but. Simpi's advice is so-so. To be a county guard is too incompetent. When Guan Ping entered the city. He was still sleeping with his head covered. Finally, he was pulled out of the bed by the soldiers of the Han army. afterwards. Everyone knows. Even if Simpi was prepared. He also couldn't hold Handan City. Because Yuan Shao only left him a thousand soldiers. originally. With these thousand soldiers. Relying on a strong city. It can still cause trouble to the Han army. It's just that many are over fifteen years old. All males under the age of fifty were forced into the army. There are not many young men in the city to help defend the city. Guan Ping was so careful. It is simply unnecessary.
Guan Yu was not as careful as Guan Ping. When he ordered the army to rest in place. He organized people to cut down trees on nearby mountains. Bundle siege equipment. Because many materials were discarded on the marching road. There must be no way to make large-scale siege equipment. But there is no problem getting a few long ladders.
With the attack order issued. The soldiers were divided into four groups. At the same time, it launched an impact on Liang Qicheng. result. It was only when the soldiers who had plucked up their courage put the long ladder on the city wall. There are not many people on the city. Hearing the sound of killing, the defending army hurriedly saw the soldiers of the Han army attached by the ants. Frightened to throw away the knives and guns. Turn around and leave. When the county seat is captured. Guan Yu only knew. There were no more than five hundred defenders in the city. He led ten thousand people to attack the city. And made meticulous preparations. It's a sledgehammer.
Get these news. Xu Huang and others were all excited. He said in unison: "Yuan Shao is now at the end of the road. Your Majesty's ruling the country is just around the corner."
Liu Xin shook his head and sighed: "Xing. The people are suffering. The death. The people are suffering. Years of wars and chaos. Of course, Yuan Shao has reached the end of the war. But the people in the northern states have also suffered such a catastrophe. How safe is my heart."
The energetic generals just listened to Liu Xin's words. Both bowed their heads in shame. Liu Xin waved his hand. Said: "Let's go. Take Yecheng as soon as possible. It is also easy to understand the people of the world in the fire and water. I ask you all."
All the generals were moved. Stand up together. Said loudly: "Please rest assured, your majesty. The ministers will also have to overcome Yecheng even after ten thousand deaths."
Although Yuan Shao has been huddled in Yecheng. But many detailed works were also sent. The movement of the 150,000 Han army all at once was big enough. He has long been detected. Of course. Xu Huang didn't intend to hide anything. He just wanted to let Yuan Shao know with great fanfare. As long as Yuan Shao brings the army out of the city. This battle will be much easier.
Inside the General's Mansion in Yecheng. The counselors under Yuan Shao's hands are all in a crowd. But the atmosphere is very depressing. Wen Chou couldn't help it. He arched his hands and said: "The Lord is enlightened. A few days ago. Although our elite soldiers were defeated by the Jingzhou Army. But the Jingzhou Army must have suffered heavy casualties. Otherwise, why there are only more than 100,000 soldiers left. How terrified is the end of this strong crossbow? No talent at the end. Willing to lead the army out of the city. A decisive battle with it. A shame."
Xun Chen had seen the military capacity of the Han army when he was in Xiangyang. He hurriedly got up and persuaded: "Never. Although the Jingzhou army is small. They are all elite. And our army is mostly recruits. According to Xun's opinion. It is better to stick to it."
But the match waved his hand. He said: "Now Liyang and Dongjun are all captured by Liu Xin. Yecheng is near Hanoi. It is very convenient for the Jingzhou army to gather and supply. The subordinates think it is not appropriate to hold on. If the lord does not want to fight with the Jingzhou army, he can abandon the city as soon as possible. . Move to Youzhou. Wait for a comeback in the future."
Xu You is greedy for money. Many properties were set up inside and outside Yecheng. How is it worth throwing away. Immediately spoke out against. He folded his hands and said: "Zhengnan's words are bad. The lord has been operating in Yecheng for many years. How can you give it lightly. The subordinates heard that the Jingzhou army cavalry is the most beneficial. If you leave Jiancheng, what is our army?"
Yuan Shao continued to carry forward his habitual style of indecision. Listening to your subordinates saying what you say to me. It is always difficult to decide. Suddenly, a detective horse said loudly outside the door: "Enjoy the lord. Wucheng is lost. The Jingzhou army is already under the city."
