Chapter 583: Wuhuan envoys(1/2)
On the wide road, dust is flying.
A huge army lined up in a long row and headed north.
Under the banner of the "Zhang" character, Zhang He looked forward with a serious look on his face. The black iron armor on his body shone with a little faint light in the sun. The war horse under him was handsome and strong.
"Oh." Zhang He finally sighed and exhaled a white breath.
Yuan Shao still has a foundation. Although some literati plan to stay away from Yuan Shao or defect, many people support Yuan Shao.
The same is true for generals, and generals are much more reliable.
Zhang He was born in a poor family and was promoted to the level of a general who led the army by Yuan Shao. He still had the opportunity to command 50,000 horse and infantry. He was still grateful to Yuan Shao.
However, the current situation also made Zhang He worried.
Faced with the fierce attack of Liang army, how long can the second young master last in Guangyang City? I hope it can last until I get over. Guangyang City is tall and sturdy, with 30,000 soldiers and horses.
Especially Zang Hong, he is quite talented.
Zhang He shook his head gently and put down his worries. He turned around and looked around, but saw that his army was raising his head, looking weak. He couldn't help but be furious, wearing black gloves, holding the horse whip and raising his right hand, shouting, "Everyone is cheering up."
"promise."
The soldiers were shocked, then cheered up, raised their heads and chests, and spread outward like human-to-human transmission.
Zhang He's face slowed down slightly.
Then his ears moved and he looked up to the north.
A fast horse came against the road and soon came to him. The horse's knight reported in panic: "Report to the general. The second young master ordered Zang Hong to defend the city, and he led a large army out of the city, and was captured alive by Zhang Yong. At present, Guangyang City has fallen. Zhang Xiu led his troops to repair it in the city."
Zhang He opened his mouth, and the expression on his face was quite wonderful.
He knew that Yuan Xi was useless, but he didn't expect that it would be so useless. In such a huge city, 30,000 soldiers and horses, they were about to abandon the city and leave after only a few days of holding on?
As long as he works hard and perseveres, he will be able to lead his troops to arrive.
"Transfer the news back. Don't leave the army anymore, set up camp." Zhang He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.
"promise."
The personal soldiers agreed and went down to do it.
The Yuan soldiers who were arranged in long rows slowly stopped and then began to camp.
The central army tent was first set up. Zhang He turned over and dismounted, entered the tent and sat down, looked up at his personal soldiers and said, "Get the map."
"No." The personal soldiers responded and went to get a map and returned to Zhang He's side.
Zhang He took the map and spread it on the table table, and started to watch it. His face became more and more serious.
The terrain of Youzhou is not spread out in a straight line. Dai County and Shanggu County are in the northwest and do not border Jizhou.
Zhuxian County, Guangyang County, and Yuyang County border with Jizhou. The remaining counties such as Youbeiping and Liaodong are in the northeast.
Now that Zhang Xiu has occupied Zhujun and Guangyang County, he will definitely station troops in some cities in Yuyang County. As long as 100,000 elite soldiers guard these three counties, the safety of the cities they have obtained can be ensured.
Although it was a long way to transport grain from Jinyang to Youzhou, the grain route was very safe.
Simply put, the Yuan army and the Wuhuan people cannot rescue each other.
Zhang Xiu can free up his hands to deal with the Wuhuan people.
It seems that the Wuhuan people are still strong in their troops, and the war in Youzhou is only halfway through. But in fact, the Wuhuan people are not far from destruction.
The consequences of the Xianbei people are evidence.
"What's the situation with the Wuhuan people now?" Zhang He raised his head and asked his personal soldiers.
"I heard that the Wuhuan people scattered all over Youzhou gathered in Youbeiping with their families. Now Tadun's troops are close to 100,000."
The personal soldier bowed his hand and said.
Now that the two forces are not bordered, there is also a problem with the accuracy of the news.
Zhang He nodded and believed the uncertain news.
Tadun is a powerful guy, capable and prestige to organize his troops and deal with Liang Jun.
The Wuhuan people were not Xianbei people either.
The Xianbei people's territory was in the desert area and had a vast depth. No matter how powerful the Liang army was, it was impossible to station troops in the entire desert at present.
The Xianbei people could nomadic or escape. If there was no way, they could also escape from the north of the Mo, and even march westward like the Huns to the unknown place.
However, the Wuhuan people have lived in Youzhou for countless years. They are half farming and half nomadic, and they cannot easily abandon Youzhou.
And if they left Youzhou, they would not be able to compete with the Xianbei people.
"Either fight to the death, or find a way to avoid the battle. Tadun will do his best to deal with Zhang Xiu." Zhang He raised his head and looked at the door of the big tent, looking at the sky outside through this small portal.
"I hope he can persist for a long time, or cause great harm to Liang's army, or even defeat Liang's army."
Not long after, the Central Army camp was built. Zhang He put on his helmet, led more than a hundred personal soldiers, inspected the Central Army camp with his sword, and returned to the tent.
As soon as he took off his helmet and put it on the rack, a personal soldier walked in from outside and reported: "Report to the general. More than ten cavalry approached the camp. The leader claimed to be Li Dun, the envoy of Liang State."
Zhang He frowned, showed a sharp look, and shouted: "Han and Liang are incompatible. I, Zhang He, are Han ministers, how can I meet the envoy of Liang? Let him go back."
The personal soldiers looked up at Zhang He and admired him.
The Liang Dynasty sent envoys, and the general misunderstood that the other party was the one who persuaded surrender. Therefore, he resisted all his heart. The general was really loyal to the general.
but.....
The personal soldier lowered his head and said, "General. Then Li Mian said he would discuss the second son's issue with the general."
"Well!"
Zhang He was a little embarrassed, but there was not much change on his face. He nodded and said, "Please come in."
In order to show his loyalty, he must not meet the envoys of Liang State, nor even see him.
But Yuan Xi is a different matter.
If he kills his lord's baby son, he will be finished.
"promise."
The personal soldiers agreed and turned around.
A few moments.
A man with a handsome face, a tall and erect belt, about thirty years old, walked in with dust.
"Doctor Li Bin, I have met General Zhang." Li Bin was very polite and bowed to Zhang He.
Zhang He was not in the mood to deal with Li Dun and said bluntly: "What do you say about the second young master?"
Li Dun was also very pleased and replied: "My Lord wants to exchange General Zang Hong's family for the second son."
Zhang He raised his head in surprise, showed a solemn look, and asked, "Has Zang Hong committed suicide by joining Master Liang?"
There are many generals under Yuan Shao's command, but most of them are ordinary. Zang Hong is one of the few elite generals, and he was originally our general.
If Zang Hong defected to Liangzhu, the other would suffer a lot of losses.
"I don't know this." Li Die shook his head and did not answer this question.
"Okay. I'll send someone to report to the general immediately. Please stay in my military camp for the time being and wait for the news." Zhang He nodded.
He can't do anything about this.
"Okay." Li Mian looked fearless and bowed calmly.
............
Nanpi, in the study of the General’s Mansion.
Yuan Shao pinched the cloth in his hand, and the blue veins swelled up on his forehead, gritting his teeth.
"Zang Hong is indeed a shameless villain."
After Xianggao was defeated, Yuan Shao suspected Zang Hong. However, Zang Hong used his maternal property to recruit troops and horses, and he tried to help. He failed to hold on and appointed Zang Hong as a general and assisted Yuan Xi.
Yuan Xi left Guangyang City and was captured alive. He was not aware of the situation here at present.
He had some suspicions that Zang Hong instigated Yuan Xi to leave the city, which led to this defeat.
The bystander is clear, but he doesn't think Zang Hong did anything. Zang Hong's character is still very guaranteed.
He did not make much of a problem on this issue and bowed to him and said, "Lord. Although Zang Hong is despicable and shameless, the life of the second prince..."
Yuan Shao suddenly became irritated and asked him to say that this incompetent son would be gone. Kill Zang Hong's family and refused to let him live a good life.
But if he does this, then the lady...
Yuan Shao is a little afraid of his inner self.
"Take Zang Hong's family to the north by car." Yuan Shao sighed and said.
"No." Shen Fang responded and went down to do it.
Yuan Shao stood up in a daze, took a map and came back to sit down to watch the map. The expression on his face gradually became awe.
