Gan Ning secretly clenched his fists and looked at the land with burning eyes.
There were very few people living on the seaside. The coastline in this era was not as prosperous as in later generations. Herdsmen's boats could only fish in shallow sea areas and could not go out to sea at all. Moreover, the fishermen on the seaside were very poor. They came and went and lived there.
Those on the beach are poor people with no money.
There were many busy figures in the distance, which made Gan Ning frown. These people must be poor people living on the seaside. In order to feed themselves and clothe themselves, they have to go fishing every day. However, the existence of these people is to a certain extent.
It affected the Xiliang Army's campaign.
Gritting his teeth, Gan Ning said: "The three of you will lead a hundred water masters to the shore. No one will be left alive."
"Nuo." The three of them were all water thieves and had been with Gan Ning for many years. They always followed Gan Ning's orders to the letter.
"General, no, these are ordinary people, not soldiers from Jizhou. Even if the Lord is here, he will definitely not agree to it. This matter is of great importance. Please take back the order, General." A general advised.
Being in the Xiliang Army, the generals naturally know a lot more about some of the rules in the army than Gan Ning. In the past, when the Xiliang Army did not conquer a place, they would come out to pacify the people. All conditions were beneficial to the people.
, as time went by, the saying came to be that the King of Liang made the people as peaceful as his sons, and soldiers who offended the people would basically be punished.
Gan Ning said: "The general will not accept your orders. What's more, we are on the border of Jizhou at this time. What does the people of Jizhou have to do with our Xiliang army? If I, the general, are kind-hearted, I will not kill these people.
They will report to nearby counties for a little money. In this way, the master's plan will fall short, and it will be even more difficult to capture Jizhou in the future."
The general saw that what Jia Rong said made sense and stopped talking.
"General Gan is right. The last general also agrees to kill all the people without leaking the news. After Jizhou is captured, I, the general, will plead guilty in front of King Liang."
Seeing the person who spoke, the general shut his mouth tightly. This time he went to fight in Jizhou, the general on the water was Gan Ning, and the chief general of the land army was the person who spoke, Xu Huang, whose reputation in the army was not weak.
, and this time it was Jia Xu who served as the main general.
Being the famous person in front of Jia Xu was enough to make all the generals look at him. After all, Jia Xu's vision was notoriously vicious in the army.
Since joining the Xiliang Army, Xu Huang has not been used as highly as expected. Even in the battles such as the attack on Youzhou and Bingzhou, he was left in Chang'an to wait for orders. Years of polishing also smoothed his edges and corners.
To be honest, he did feel that he learned a lot in the Xiliang Army, especially the military lessons of the Xiliang Army. He never missed it. He listened carefully every time and combined it with his own battlefield knowledge.
I have gained a lot of experience in the field, and I have longed to lead troops to fight in person for a long time.
Jia Xu talked with him many times and heard his opinions on military affairs. He also admired him quite a lot and recommended him to Jia Rong many times.
Now Xu Huang is already a regimental general in the army, with a prominent position. As the commander-in-chief of this expedition, his temporary official position is division general.
"With General Xu's words, I feel relieved." Gan Ning chuckled, looking at Xu Huang's face a little pale, and said with concern: "The wind and waves on the sea are strong, General Xu should go to the ship to rest for a while.
In the next period of time, there may be a major war."
Xu Huang shook his head and walked into the boat. This month of life made Xu Huang completely hate riding on the boat. He would stagger and vomit out the food he had eaten from time to time. It was very uncomfortable. The key was Jia Rong's.
The strategy cannot be changed. Once Jizhou is captured, Xu Huang will be the biggest contributor. Compared with his contribution to defeating Jizhou, this crime is nothing.
A small boat appeared in the sight of the fishermen. They live by the sea all year round and rarely see boats coming from far away from the sea. Many fishermen thought it was a fisherman from another family who had just returned from fishing.
As soon as they docked, the soldiers on the boat immediately showed their ferocious faces, pointing their bows and arrows at the unarmed people. The massacre ended in a one-sided manner. Many fishermen did not have time to react and fell into a pool of blood.
middle.
After Gan Ning came ashore, he saw the miserable situation and murmured: "I can only blame you for living in the wrong place."
After the navy landed ashore, they immediately started setting up camp. Seeing that they had arrived on land, many soldiers had smiles on their faces. It felt really uncomfortable to have been floating on the sea for so many days. They were not specially trained soldiers.
It is difficult to maintain sufficient energy at sea.
After resting for three days, Gan Ning and Xu Huang led the soldiers forward. With the map provided by the Xiliang Army, they easily found the direction.
There were five hundred soldiers left on the boat. On the sea, even if the Jizhou Army came with 100,000 soldiers, they could not do anything to them.
In Julu City, Tian Feng frowned. From the Xiliang Army, he felt an unusual aura. Judging from the wars launched by the Xiliang Army in the past, each time it was a quick victory and a neat end.
How could there be such a mother-in-law who has been stationed outside the city for more than a month without any movement. Judging from the news from Yan Liang and Zhang Zha, there must be a very powerful weapon in the Xiliang army that can directly attack the city.
The city gate was destroyed, so the Julu City Gate was blocked by huge rocks at the back to prevent the weapons of the Xiliang Army. There were still a large number of soldiers stationed at the city gate. Even if the city gate was suddenly lost, the Xiliang Army would be blocked.
The Liang army has no chance of attacking the city. It can be said that the current Julu is monolithic.
"Master Tian, please see me." The guard walked into the tent and bowed respectfully.
Yuan Shao said calmly: "Let him come in."
The Xiliang army has been confronting the Jizhou army outside the city, which makes Yuan Shao very happy. This shows that the Xiliang army can't do anything to the Jizhou army. He can't wait to continue this situation. The Xiliang army has come all the way to bring food, grass, supplies, etc.
It's a big problem. As long as he drags the Xiliang Army here, he can immediately start a battle with the Xiliang Army after the army in his hands arrives. As expected, half a month will be the moment of decisive battle. When the time comes, he will let
Jia Rong realized how ridiculous it was to break the alliance and attack Jizhou.
"Yuan Hao, why are you here in such a hurry? You are now one of Jizhou's ministers, so you should be more careful in your behavior." Yuan Shao said.
"Thank you for the reminder, my lord. I must pay attention to my humble position." Tian Feng was polite and went directly to the topic. "My lord, the Xiliang army has been stationed outside the city and has been stationary. Don't you think there is a trick in it?"
"Is there a scam?" Yuan Shao asked puzzledly.
"Looking at the previous battles of the Xiliang Army, they were all fought quickly and without any sloppiness. Why have they been standing still outside Julu City?" Tian Feng said.
"Oh, well, there are more than 80,000 defenders in the city, and they are all the elite of our army. Jia Rong knows that he is invincible, and he doesn't want to retreat in despair, so he has to stay outside the city." Yuan Shao said relaxedly.
He said, thinking that something big happened in the army.
"My lord, I don't think so. Jia Rong has rarely suffered defeats since he became the governor of Jincheng. Even the Xianbei people who were raging on the border of the Han Dynasty were defeated by him. How could he retreat because of the large number of defenders in the city?"
There is a conspiracy." Tian Feng was afraid that Yuan Shao would not agree with what he said, so he continued: "My lord, there are more than 80,000 defenders in the city, but the Xiliang army outside the city only has more than 30,000 people. With the strength of the Xiliang army, naturally it will not be possible.
There are only so many people, where have the rest gone? Is it because the Xiliang army cannot afford food and grass?"
Tian Feng's words made Yuan Shao wake up from his arrogance just now. Looking at the world, even Cao Cao cannot compare with the financial resources of the Xiliang Army. However, this time he only used 50,000 troops to fight in Jizhou. Did Jia Rong think that
Can Jizhou be captured with fifty thousand soldiers and horses?
"Soldiers, it's a matter of life and death. Let Yuan Hao handle this matter. You should hurry up and get back to Xindu."
"No." Tian Feng agreed immediately without any hesitation.
"This is my seal. After returning to Xindu, I can fully manage the affairs of the city. If anyone blocks it, you know what to do." Yuan Shao said.
"Thank you for your trust, my lord. I will do my best in this humble position and not give the Xiliang army any chance." Tian Feng said. At such a critical moment, Yuan Shao gave himself such an important task, which shows that he trusts him. This alone,
It was enough to make Tian Feng sacrifice everything for Yuan Shao, even his life. All the grievances he had suffered in the past were reduced to smoke at this moment.
"Ziyuan is still in Xindu. After you go back, discuss everything with him." Yuan Shao suddenly remembered that Xu You was in Xindu. Maybe some troubles have been eliminated. Yuan Shao has no doubt about Xu You's ability.
The evaluation of Tian Feng and others is much higher, but they are just too smooth.
"No." Although Tian Feng felt a little unhappy, he still agreed.
After hurriedly returning to Xindu, Tian Feng found that the city was still as stable as before, with no changes. People and merchants gathered in the city, and there was no tense atmosphere like that in Julu City. Except for the panic on the faces of the merchants, there was nothing worth mentioning.
Attention.
"Am I thinking too much?" Tian Feng asked. As a military counselor, his ability to command troops and plan strategies is undoubted, and he is also quite capable in governing the place. However, he is not as flattering as Xu You, otherwise Tian Feng would
His ability is comparable to that of anyone in the Jizhou Army.
"Why did Lord Tian come back from Julu City? The war ahead is urgent, and there are no advisers around my lord. It's time for Lord Tian to help." When Xu You heard that Tian Feng had returned from Julu City, he thought Yuan Shao had discovered something.
, seeing that Tian Feng had not taken any targeted actions after his return, he felt relieved. The affairs between him and Jia Rong were absolutely confidential, even the soldiers who followed him to Chang'an didn't know.
