(Author's note: There will be a slight delay in updating the WAP website on the mobile phone. The book was published on the website at 0:00 in the morning. There is a slight time difference between the two. Please forgive me.) Nanpi City is actively preparing for war. Food, military pay, and equipment have been prepared.
After that, Gao Fei gathered his generals and prepared to launch an all-out war against Yuan Shao.
"Zhao Yun has broken through Zhongshan and Hejian, and is heading towards Yingtao City in Julu County. Our army should not stay here. We should march quickly and strive to end the Jizhou War in the shortest time. Otherwise, once time is passed,
Any further delay will be extremely detrimental to our army." Gao Fei glanced at the counselors and generals present, and asked loudly, "If you have any suggestions, feel free to speak up."
In the hall of the Nanpi City Prefect's Mansion, everyone from captain to above attended the meeting. Dozens of people stood together, which looked very spectacular.
Xun You spoke first: "Our army has always been at a disadvantage in terms of military strength. Yuan Shao has an army of 150,000 in Jizhou and 50,000 in Qingzhou. Now that Zang Ba has led his troops to Leling, he can completely block Qingzhou's troops at the Bohai Sea.
Outside the county. However, if Yuan Tan walks through the plains and enters Jizhou via Qinghe for reinforcements, the pressure our army will face will increase. If we want to pull back
To control Yuan Tan, we must attack Qingzhou. However, Zang Ba only has 13,000 men, 10,000 of whom are surrender troops. It is more than enough to defend Leling, but if he wants to attack Qingzhou, it is a bit difficult. His subordinates think that it is not possible.
If we get in touch with Cao Cao in Yanzhou and try to get Cao Cao to contain Yuan Tan, this will reduce the pressure our army faces in Jizhou."
Gao Fei said: "That's exactly what I meant. Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are harmonious on the surface, but secretly they are infighting. If we can get Cao Cao's help, our army can naturally deal with Yuan Shao's troops in Jizhou..."
After a pause, Gao Fei looked sideways at Xu You and said to him: "Xu Canjun, you and Cao Mengde are close friends. This matter is very important to our army. Are you willing to go to Yanzhou on my behalf?"
, ask Cao Cao to attack Qingzhou. After that, the entire Qingzhou will belong to him, and I will never fight with him."
Xu You said: "My lord, I think this is inappropriate. Most of Yuan's army is stationed in the south of Qingzhou, and there are fewer Qingzhou soldiers in the north. If Zang Ba's troops are sent out of Leling to attack Pingyuan County, as long as Gaotang in Pingyuan County is captured,
Then block Gaotang's Huang
At the river crossing, Yuan Jun could not cross the Yellow River north to support Jizhou. A large river divided Qingzhou into two, and the Gaotang area was a place where the river flow was relatively gentle. As long as this area was blocked, Zang Ba's 13,000 men alone
, it’s completely enough for rubbing.”
Gao Fei felt that what Xu You said made some sense, but what he was worried about was not Yuan Tan, but Cao Cao. He pondered for a moment and asked: "You are right, but you still have to go to Cao Cao to make friends at a distance and attack at a short distance."
Our strategy must be implemented. Before we break up with Cao Cao, we should become a good ally with Cao Cao's Wei army."
Xu You said: "My lord, my subordinates are very familiar with Cao Mengde. Even if my lord does not send anyone to ask him to send troops to attack Qingzhou, as long as he snoops out some information that is beneficial to him, he will attack Qingzhou with lightning speed."
"My subordinates believe that to contact Cao Cao, it is not necessary to go to someone, but only a letter from the master is enough."
Gao Fei heard what Xu You meant. This guy didn't want to go at all, because he had to pass through Yuan Shao's territory along the way from Nanpi to Changyi. He guessed that Xu You was afraid of encountering danger on the way. He sneered.
, said slowly: "Are you afraid of encountering any danger along the way when you join the army?"
Xu You's face was startled, and he was also shocked in his heart. He didn't expect Gao Fei to be able to read his thoughts. The road from Nanpi to Changyi was too dangerous, and he was really worried that he would be caught by Yuan Shao's people.
After being stunned for a moment, he hurriedly bowed: "No, no, no, I have no such intention..."
Seeing Xu You's nervous look, Gao Fei immediately interrupted Xu You's words, turned to Wei Yan who was standing behind him and said: "Chang Wen, are you willing to go to Changyi?"
Wei Yan's face lit up with joy, and he hurriedly bowed: "I will fight to the death!"
Gao Fei said: "Very good. Wen Chang, from now on, you will temporarily follow Xu Canjun, and you must be an inseparable guard by his side. If anything happens to Xu Canjun, you will come to see him!"
Wei Yan has learned a lot in the past two days with Gao Fei, and has learned to guess Gao Fei's thoughts. He glanced sideways at Xu You and already understood what was going on. This was Gao Fei.
Worried about Xu You, nominally asked him to protect him
Protecting Xu You was actually spying on Xu You. Yesterday, he accidentally heard Gao Fei and Jia Xu talking about Xu You's corruption in Jicheng, and knew that Gao Fei had begun secretly investigating Xu You. He turned around,
He said loudly: "My subordinates take orders!"
Xu You's face twitched. In front of many civil servants in the hall, he didn't want to go and didn't dare to disobey Gao Fei's order. He had no choice but to hold his hands and said: "Xu You accepts the order and will definitely live up to the Lord's orders."
Trust.”
Gao Fei said "hmm" and continued: "In order not to arouse Yuan Jun's suspicion, you and Wen Chang dressed up as merchants along the way. With Wen Chang by your side to protect you, you will be safe."
Wei Yan walked to Xu You's side, cupped his hands towards Xu You and said, "Join the army. It's very polite of you to join the army."
Xu You returned the salute awkwardly and stood there with a wry smile on his face.
After Gao Fei finished his instructions, he said: "Nanpi is now the place where our army stores food and grass. Xun Chen is responsible for staying here. Shi Jie, Pan Gong, and Mu Shun will also stay here. Each of you will bring a soldier."
Wan Jiangbing will be responsible for the security of this place, and all matters will be arranged by Xun Chen. The others will all follow me to Xindu, capture Xindu first, and then join Zhao Yun in Julu."
All the generals replied in unison: "No!"
After the meeting, everyone went to do their own business. Xu You and Wei Yan, dressed in casual clothes, left the city first, took some dry food and water, and headed towards Yanzhou.
The troops and horses of each department have been prepared. Gao Fei took Huang Zhong as the vanguard general, Xu Huang and Pang De as deputy generals, and asked Huang Zhong to lead 10,000 light cavalry directly to Xindu City, and Chen Dao, Wenpin and Chu Yan commanded the heavy infantry.
, heavy cavalry escorted the grain and grass, and he personally led the remaining tens of thousands of soldiers and horses as the central army, and began to leave Nanpi City one after another.
The army set off in a mighty manner. Gao Fei asked the heavy-armed infantry commanded by Chen Dao, Wenpin and Chu Yan to temporarily remove their armor and go into battle lightly, and use mules and horses to pull their armor along with the grain and grass.
Reduce the fatigue of soldiers marching. Although the establishment of heavy infantry and heavy cavalry has not been put into use for the time being, as the most well-equipped unit in the entire army, Gao Fei has high hopes for them.
During the march, Taishi Ci and Zhang He were walking at the front of the Chinese army with a group of cavalry. The two of them were still the same, unconvinced with each other when they met, but today was very unusual. The two of them actually took the initiative to talk to each other.
The words came.
"Jun Yi, do you think the lord is not going to use us anymore? This has happened several times in a row. The lord has always used Huang Zhong, Xu Huang, and Pang De as the vanguard. Did we do something wrong and make the lord angry?
Otherwise, why doesn't your lord let the two of us be the vanguard?" Taishi Ci, riding on a tall horse, looked ahead and asked suspiciously.
Zhang He and Taishi Ci were walking side by side. When he saw Taishi Ci talking to him in such a soft voice for the first time, he replied: "Don't make blind guesses. My lord must not think that way. My lord must think it's pornographic."
Zhong is old and thinks that he will gradually age in the future, so rather than putting it away for later use, it is better to save it for now."
Taishi Ci said: "Even if this is the case, then why doesn't the lord let me switch with Pang De?"
"You?" Zhang He glanced sideways at Tai Shici. He changed his pleasant expression and sneered, "Don't you love killing prisoners? How could my lord let you follow me?"
After Taishi Ci heard this, he shouted loudly: "Which of your eyes saw me killing the prisoners?"
"Hey, I saw it with both eyes."
"Fuck you! When I was chasing Liu Bei this time, I took thousands of prisoners along the way, but I didn't kill any of them. I have decided not to kill any more prisoners!" Taishi Ci said angrily.
"Your mother did it! You didn't kill him now, but you did before. Who knows if you will kill him in the future."
"You fucking dare to call my mother? I hate it when people call my mother the most. Please apologize to me quickly!" Taishi Ci swung the halberd in his hand, reined in his horse and stopped on the side of the road, pointed at Zhang He and shouted loudly
.
Zhang He said: "You damn scolded me first, I call it tit for tat! Even if you want to apologize, you should be the one to apologize to me first, right?"
"You..." Tai Shici's language expression ability is not very good. In addition, he and Zhang He have been in separate places for the past two years. Since they were separated for such a long time, he has not quarreled with anyone. This long time of not quarreling, language
His ability has declined a lot, but his temper has improved a lot. Whenever he hears someone calling him a mother, he will immediately become furious because he is very filial.
"What am I? Look at your temper. If you are really allowed to become a pioneer, why don't you kill all those who are dissatisfied with you? Tsk, tusk, you are like this, I don't think you want to be a pioneer in the future.
, it is almost impossible to go into battle to kill the enemy.
It's possible. It's better to change it as soon as possible." Zhang He has been stationed in the important town outside the Great Wall for the past two years and often encounters many businessmen. After going back and forth, his speech has become slippery, his temper is not as bad as before, and his eloquence has become a bit better.
.
Taishi Ci couldn't defeat Zhang He at all, so he yelled: "If you don't apologize, I will beat you until you apologize!"
Zhang He said: "What? You want to fight me? Okay, come here, I will never fight back, I want to see, and soon it will reach the ears of the lord, who among us will be punished. Wei Yan has been demoted to
Soldier, if you want to, then come, but I, Zhang He, don’t have time to accompany you!"
"You...you go too far to deceive others!" Taishi Ci held back for a long time and only said these words.
"Both generals, please stop arguing. My lord asked me to come and ask the two generals why the army suddenly stopped?" Hu Yu rode up from behind and happened to see Taishi Ci and Zhang He bickering, so he hurriedly said.
Taishi Ci and Zhang He looked at each other, not knowing how to answer. It happened that a knight came up on the road ahead. They both pointed at the knight and said: "We have caught a spy!"
