() Wei Yan hurriedly got up, carefully continued with a teacup, and sighed: "Yes, I was just a small village chief, fortunately I was appreciated by the young master and was able to take charge of the army. I have the current situation."
"How can I stay? Wen Chang." Liu Qi asked suddenly.
Wei Yan didn't know what he meant and answered honestly: "Young Master is willing to be honest with me. Wei Yan's death cannot repay the young master's great kindness."
Liu Qi laughed: "Wen Chang, you are so serious. I came to you now not to reminisce about the past, but to the matter of Runan." Liu Qi took a sip of tea and continued calmly: "Capture Runan."
Liu Bi Gongdu is easy to get back on his hands. The reason why I ignored the dissuasion of others and let you lead the army and fight in Runan is that on the other hand, I want you to be the prefect of Runan and strictly prevent Cao Cao from invading. I will not give you many troops.
There are only 10,000 soldiers. In fact, it is possible that Cao Cao will send troops when he sees me attacking Runan. Can you block Cao Cao's army for me until the army comes to aid."
Seeing that Liu Qi was serious, Wei Yan made him the prefect of a party. Although there was only half a county, it was also a county. Wei Yan was so excited that he didn't know what to say, but just said, "I'd like to be fooled by the young master!"
"Haha" Liu Qi laughed when he saw Wei Yan so excited and said, "Actually, as long as you can guard Runan for a year, it will be enough. When the war between Caocao in the north is together, you don't have to defend. Just fight with me to fight the world
.”
"promise!"
When Wei Yan heard this, he smiled and agreed to the promise.
On the third day, at the third day of the year, he made meals, slaughtered chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep, and rewarded the three armies. Liu Qi wore a tight soldier uniform, hidden soft armor, wearing a cloak sewn by his wife, hanging a long sword on his waist, dressed in a heroic general.
At first glance, he looked no different from an ordinary general, but his eyes were bright and energetic, and he was really a dragon and phoenix among people!
On the general's stage, Liu Qi picked up a bowl of wine and shouted: "Now I am Liu Qi - General of the Conquest of the South, General of the Jingzhou Army and General of the Army: The army set off to fight against the bandits in Runan! Our army will win!" After saying that, he said that
The soldiers under the stage drank all the time and shouted, "I will win! I will win!" The momentum was soaring, and it was really a fierce battle!
After drinking, the soldiers of each battalion set off and set off under the dispatch of the chief general Wei Yan. The pioneer Hu Cheer and the 2,000 jing-sharp soldiers had already set off yesterday. General Wei Yan and General Pang Tong led the army.
The army was eight thousand, and the camp was broken by one thousand, and the deputy general Huang Xu led three thousand cavalry to go with him. Liu Qi was just a military advisor Jia Xu and the Feilong Guard General Liu Pan, who led the escort camp as the rear, and the baggage camp was transported with grain.
People, etc.
This expedition was originally not used by Liu Qi, but this was the first step in Jingzhou's expansion, which may anger Cao. Liu Qi was worried and followed him. At the same time, he also gave Pang Tong some experience in the front line so that Pang Tong could be the head coach of any side in the later period
.
In ancient times, marching was slow. According to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, during the Cao Rui period, Gongsun Yuan of Liaodong rebelled and Cao Rui sent Sima Yi to the expedition. Sima Yi suggested that only 40,000 horse and infantry troops would be enough. One of the famous conversations was that Cao Rui asked Sima Yi how long it took to go there;
Sima Yi replied, "A hundred miles away, attack hundreds of miles, return hundreds of miles, and rest for sixty miles, which is enough for about a year."
With Sima Yi's military management skills, it is only 40 miles a day, let alone others. Cao Cao's general Xiahou Yuan called "Shenxing General" has the fastest marching speed, claiming to be "five, three hundred, ten, six hundred".
It is not a simple addition. The longer the march, the more tired you are. It is almost impossible to maintain the speed before leaving the army.
Liu Qi's Jingzhou army was extremely powerful and was known as the number one army in the world. Under his training, it was only ten thousand miles, seven hundred miles, and it was open to supply food to maintain physical strength. This was probably not achieved among the princes.
The intention of this expedition is to attack him unpreparedly, so just pay attention to concealment and do not need to marches in a hurry. When the first city is captured and the news spreads, marches quickly.
"Wenhe, you said I will capture Runan and propose marriage to Cao Cao. Will Cao Cao become angry and refuse to admit it?" Liu Qi thought of this, and couldn't help laughing and asked Jia Xu.
"The young master and Cao Gong's daughter have made a marriage agreement. Now everyone in the world knows it. Although Cao Cao's heroic place will be a bit delayed, in order to stabilize the rear, he will inevitably marry the young master, which has become the favor of Qin and Jin." Jia Xu analyzed.
Liu Qi smiled happily and said, "Of course I know this, I'm afraid that Cao Cao can't swallow this."
Seeing that Liu Qi was still giggling, Jia Xu shook his head and advised: "Young Master is more imaginative, don't ruin your image as a handsome young man."
After hearing this, Liu Qi hurriedly wiped his saliva. While looking around, he found that no one was looking at him. He complained: "Wenhe, you are cheating me again."
Liu Qi was marching secretly here, specifically towards the path, where no one was alone. Although the speed was slower, no one knew about it. Therefore, there was no news in Runan, and he plundered all directions as usual and killed his family.
Runan, a stout man with a rough appearance and a dark face. He looked like a generous man in the world. He said in a rough voice: "Brother, we are so happy! You can drink Jingzhou wine every day, and eat barbecue every day, at night
I can also find a few delicate little ladies to play with, even if I give them to the gods and gods, I won’t change them.”
A man in his thirties sat on the main seat, with a pale face and no beard, a serious expression, and a dignified expression. He frowned and said, "Although I am good, I have not much. Now, the battle between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao is about to be fought against him, Cao
cao will definitely not keep us from harming his rear. At that time, a large army will inevitably be sent to fight. Now, Li Tong and Cai Yang, Runan, let us wait, and we are so miserable that we can't have to go.
Grain and grass are intercepted from Jingzhou to the south."
"What are you afraid of? People die and birds are facing the sky. We will follow the Yellow Turban Rebellion by the General of the Heavenly King. That day is not a lick of blood on the edge of the knife. Who will be afraid of death?" said the strong man in black face.
The master paused and said for a while: "It is not scary to die. Now our Yellow Turban Rebellion has been defeated. So we die, and the corpse is wilderness. After death, we have gained the reputation of a traitor and left a slander forever. We die.
How do we face the ancestors in the future? I am afraid that we cannot return to the ancestors’ tomb after death.”
"However, we surrender to others. I heard that the eldest son of Jingzhou, Liu Qi, now holds the soldiers and horses of Jingzhou, is the general of the soldiers and horses of Jingzhou. He is now recruiting heroes, and he does not look at his background, but only his talent. Our army has 30,000 to 40,000 people.
, If he surrendered, he could become a general."
"You are fearless and too whimsical. We, who have no food and grass, often robbed Jingzhou county towns. I'm afraid Liu Qi has already known it. It's a blessing that Liu Qi will not send a large army to conquer! Think about it, since Liu Qi took charge of the army, he has defeated him.
Zhang Xian, fought against Cao Cao, defeated Sun Ce. Which one is not a famous war? We are not enough for the army to get stuck in the teeth." The head man said white-faced, and he was quite afraid of his words.
The black-faced man below heard Liu Qi's mighty neck shrinking and his voice became much smaller. He didn't dare to yell loudly. Liu Qi's name is so powerful, which shows that mortals in the world respect heroes!
