Time passed day by day, and Tian Feng finally arrived at Yingdao City with his army escorting countless supplies of grain and grass.
When Tian Feng arrived, Zhao Yun went directly out of the city to welcome Tian Feng into the city.
"Military advisor, you are finally here."
Zhao Yun glanced at Tian Feng, the joy in his eyes was self-evident.
"What's wrong?"
Hearing Zhao Yun's words, Tian Feng was also stunned. He didn't understand what happened to Zhao Yun and why he was expecting him to come over.
"I'm going to run out of food here. If you don't come here, the whole army will be hungry."
"?
?”
"Although you traveled south in a light car this time, you won't be starving due to lack of food."
When facing Zhao Yun, even though Tian Feng was so witty, he couldn't imagine what Zhao Yun was going through.
"Military advisor, my scouts have detected the developments in Jiaozhou. Shixie's brother Shiyi has led 30,000 troops to Fuchuan. At the same time, he has begun to migrate the people from Xie Mu and Fengcheng southward.
Moreover, I also caught the scouts sent by Shi Yi and learned about the truce reached between Shi Xie and Lu Bu.
I concluded that they should send a large army north to Bucheon to organize a defense line, so I divided 20,000 troops in advance and went south to lurk.
In order to ensure their lurking went smoothly, I gave them most of the food and grass."
Zhao Yun directly told all the current situation, including his arrangement of dividing 20,000 troops to go south.
“You mean to send troops to threaten Guangxin?
Or is it divided into two, with one threatening Guangxin and waiting for the Fuchuan troops to return, while the other takes the opportunity to make a sneak attack?"
After hearing Zhao Yun's words, Tian Feng immediately came to Kanyu and began to observe the terrain next to Guangxin with his eyes wide open.
"Wu Shan, Xie Shan."
After reading it, he directly pointed out two places, which were the two hiding places for troops that Zhao Yun had already booked, Wushan and Xieshan.
"A military advisor is indeed a military advisor. That's what I thought. The 20,000 soldiers and horses were divided into two. One was stationed in Wushan with Liu Wei as the leader, and could attack Guangxin depending on the situation. The other was stationed in Xieshan with Zhang Lin as the leader and could make a sneak attack.
Bucheon reinforcements moving south to support."
Zhao Yun smiled at Tian Feng. He just said that he would send 20,000 troops to go south. He immediately analyzed his arrangement. As expected, Jiang was still hot.
"This is a good thing. If we can really win according to your idea, then no matter how many troops Fuchuan has, it will be difficult for him to resist our attack."
Tian Feng glanced at Zhao Yun. If it was true as Zhao Yun said, then the battle of Jiaozhou would be much simpler.
"I hope, strategist, we now have an army of 100,000 people. Should we immediately send troops to attack before they arrive?"
Now that he had understood the matter of his 20,000-strong army, Zhao Yun wanted to directly attack before Shi Xie's army arrived.
"No, the lord has not arrived yet and there are not enough soldiers and horses. If we go south now, it will be good if we can capture Fuchuan. If we can't capture it, it will be a warning. If Lu Bu does not set up defenses in Nanhai County and leads the army north, we soldiers and horses will probably
If they counterattack, it won't be a loss at that time."
Tian Feng glanced at Zhao Yun. There are advantages and disadvantages to attacking now. If he can capture Fuchuan, it will be fine. If he cannot capture Fuchuan or even be attacked by the enemy, he will lose money by then.
"I understand, what the military advisor means is that the general trend is that I am not in Jiaozhou. As long as the Lord's army arrives, it can wipe out Jiaozhou with a thunderous force. Going out now is completely worth the loss."
Although Tian Feng rejected him, Zhao Yun didn't take it seriously. War is like this. One person's wisdom is short and three others are wise. Some things must be debated before the correct solution can be reached.
"Well, that's true. Anyway, 20,000 troops have been sent out. As long as the lord leads his troops, it will be difficult for little Jiaozhou to resist."
Tian Feng nodded towards Zhao Yun. There was really no need to be anxious now. As the so-called mistakes were made in the rush, they had the momentum and there was no need to make so many false claims. They could just push it through in an upright manner.
"promise."
Zhao Yun directly clasped his fists and promised, and then the Yingdao City fell silent, waiting for Yuan Shu to lead the main force to arrive.
After waiting for more than ten days, Lu Bu's 70,000-strong army marched northward, passing through Fengyang and Linhe, and finally arrived at Fuchuan City.
"General, Shiyi has been waiting for you for a long time."
When Lu Bu arrived, Shi Yi went directly out of the city to greet him. If he could abandon his prejudices and lead his troops to support him, he would naturally have to give him enough respect.
"Okay, let's go into the city."
Seeing Shi Yi coming out of the city to greet him, Lu Bu also clasped his fists and saluted. He still had to give him the respect he deserved.
"please."
With one movement, Shi Yi directly welcomed Lu Bu in, and the 70,000 troops under his command also followed and stationed in Fuchuan City. Now Fuchuan had more than 100,000 troops, which could be considered as capable of fighting.
Shi Yi arranged a banquet, but during the banquet, Lu Bu was full of questions.
"Shi Yi, where is your elder brother?
Why are there only so few soldiers and horses in the city?"
After three glasses of wine, Lu Bu refused to vomit and asked about the whereabouts of Shi Xie and his soldiers.
"General, don't worry. My eldest brother needs to sit in the rear to allocate food and fodder. He may not come here. The army is already on the way. It could be as fast as seven days or as slow as ten days. The 70,000-strong army will definitely arrive."
In fact, as early as when Lu Bu left Fengyang and headed north, Shi Xie asked Shi Wu to leave with the 40,000 troops in Guangxin City, and then turned around with Fengyang's defenders and followed Lu Bu north toward Fuchuan.
"Well, ten days is fine. Have you sent scouts north to Jingzhou to investigate the situation there?"
Lu Bu was relieved to hear that 70,000 troops would arrive in ten days. He was really afraid that Yuan Shu would lead the army south first. At that time, he would be able to resist the possibility of relying on the 100,000 troops in the city alone.
Very difficult.
"I have also sent out some scouts, but there seems to be no response yet. I have also sent out the second batch of scouts. I believe there will be results soon."
After looking at Lu Bu, Shi Yi directly told his arrangement. The first batch of scouts were sent out but there was no response, so he also sent out a second group of 100 scouts two days ago. I believe they will be able to do it soon.
Got the news.
"You said the first group of people haven't replied after more than ten days?"
Compared with Shi Yi's arrangements, Lu Bu was more concerned about his first words, which was that there was no news from the first batch of scouts, which was a bit of a problem.
"Well, what's wrong?"
Hearing Lu Bu's concern, Shi Yi was immediately confused. In his opinion, it was very common for scouts to disappear for more than ten days. He even encountered scouts disappearing for a lifetime. What's wrong with this?
"There's something wrong here. I suspect Yuan Shu's troops have already moved south."
Lu Bu glanced at Shi Yi and directly expressed his worries.
"This is impossible. Even if Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses finish the Battle of Yizhou, it will take at least a month to start the Battle of Jiaozhou again. Is it okay to send troops here now?"
Faced with Lu Bu's guess, Shi Yi didn't believe it. After all, what he said was a bit too much. Now he has sent troops over. What's the purpose?
"How is it impossible? Don't forget that although his main force is fighting in Yizhou, his troops in Jingzhou are not weak.
Zhang Liao's bandit army, Zhang He's Jianzhong army, and militia groups all numbered at least 100,000.
If a large army appears outside Jiaozhou now, it proves that Yuan Shu's army is not far away from heading south, and it is here to attack outposts."
Regarding Shi Yi's laymanship, Lu Bu had nothing to say and directly expressed his opinion.
"What do you mean, General?"
Corporal One was completely confused. What Lu Bu said was indeed something he had never thought of. He really didn't understand how Lu Bu came up with so many things after the scout disappeared.
"What I mean is to immediately send a large number of scouts to Shi'an, Yingpu, and Yingdao. They must detect where the enemy's troops are now. If the time is right, I don't mind killing one of Yuan Shu's vanguards first to satisfy his appetite.
.”
The corners of Lu Bu's mouth split open, revealing a cruel smile. If he really found Yuan Shu's vanguard, he would inevitably lead his troops to attack and get off to a good start first.
"Attack?
Our soldiers and horses are at a disadvantage compared to Yuan Shu's, so it would be a bit too risky to do so."
Shi Yi frowned directly. Now that he is the weaker party, you still want to take risks. Isn't this asking for death?
"Haha, as I said before, the ones coming now are just the Jingzhou Army. They can only have tens of thousands of people at most. If I really detect him, with our current troops and horses, if we don't attack and catch him by surprise, it will really be impossible.
Sorry for this opportunity."
Compared with Shi Yi's worries, Lu Bu believed that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
"Those who are marching and fighting don't understand. If you really find traces of the enemy and the general feels that this is an opportunity, then he will send troops. Don't worry about logistics and food. I will definitely coordinate with my full strength."
Since Lu Bu said this, Shi Yi has nothing to say. He is not proficient in marching and fighting. Since Lu Bu is here, let him leave it to him. Anyway, they are now grasshoppers on the same rope. One will be prosperous and the other will be damaged. I believe
Lu Bu would not joke about his own future.
"Well, Cao Xing."
Lu Bu nodded to Shi Yi, and then looked directly at Cao Xing beside him.
"Lord."
Upon hearing Lu Bu's words, Cao Xing stood up directly, cupped his fists and saluted.
"You immediately set off with your military scouts, and then divide your troops into three groups to go to Shi'an, Yingpu and Yingdao. Shi'an probably won't be a big problem, but Yingpu and Yingdao must be explored personally. I feel that if
If the Jingzhou army goes south, it will be in these two places."
Lu Bu directly drew two key points. Although Shi'an was not far from Jiaozhou, he was facing Lipu directly. After Lipu, there was no one in the south, which was not conducive to the march of the army at all.
Therefore, if Yuan Shu's army goes south, it must take the Fuchuan line, and he has a hunch that the enemy is either at Yingpu or Yingdao.
"promise."
Upon hearing Lu Bu's order, Cao Xing directly clasped his fists and saluted. He knew that the military situation was at a fever pitch and there was no room for delay.
Seeing Cao Xing leaving, Corporal One finally understood why they had more troops than Lu Bu and were still on the defensive. If nothing else, their execution ability was beyond the reach of their own people.
"Okay, let's strengthen the city defense and wait for news from the scouts. I hope Yuan Jiujiu won't disappoint me."
Lu Bu picked up the wine and drank it down in one gulp. What they have to do now is to strengthen the defense of Fuchuan City and wait for news about Cao Xing.
