Zhao Yun mainly said that Zhang Yan's military strength was strong, but Tian Feng heard something different.
"Military advisor, tell me what you have to say."
After hearing Tian Feng's words, Yuan Shu's heart skipped a beat.
"My lord, it stands to reason that if Zhang Yan wants to fight decisively, he will definitely use all his strength to come. If this is the case, he can only keep more than 10,000 troops in the old camp, so where are the remaining 50,000?"
"These fifty thousand people must have gone to Changshan."
Following Tian Feng's train of thought, Yuan Shu directly guessed what he wanted to say.
"That's right, it must be Zhang Yan's strategy of dividing his troops. He used a large force to contain our main force here, and then divided his army of 50,000 to attack Changshan.
After encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao, my lord has no choice but to send troops to rescue us. One will be lost and the other will be lost. When Zhang Yan attacks with all his strength, we will be defeated."
"As Yuan Hao said, we were so passive because we were unprepared, but Yan Liang's 20,000 Polu troops and 30,000 militiamen are not easy to deal with."
Although Tian Feng's analysis was terrifying, Yuan Shu was not afraid, because they had already guessed these situations when they came and made corresponding arrangements.
"My lord, Zhang Yan's soldiers and horses are not scary. What I am worried about now is that those foreign cavalry will enter Changshan through other roads. I should order Gao Lan to lead his troops into Changshan and help Yan Liang jointly defend Changshan."
Tian Feng's preparation for a rainy day was just the right time. If Zhang Yan were here, he would definitely be very surprised, and his plan would have been guessed by others.
"Well, since you are the military advisor this time, all actions will naturally be based on you, and everyone must cooperate with you,"
Yuan Shu nodded and said, "Don't trust the people you employ, and don't use the people you doubt." Since Tian Feng is the military advisor, everything will be decided by him.
"Okay, not only Gao Lan needs to be notified, but Ji Ling's location must also be on guard to guard against the Qingzhou Yellow Turban invasion. At the same time, Xu Rong's Xiliang surrender army should be able to be activated after such a long time."
"Well, I'll send someone to report it right now, but now Zhang Yan's army is approaching the border, how should we deal with it?"
Things in Lao Chao have been arranged, and now it's time for the decisive battle with Zhang Yan.
"Lord, Zhang Yan is just bluffing now, all we have to do is say one word."
When Zhang Yan was mentioned, Tian Feng smiled slightly.
"What word?"
Yuan Shu was stunned.
"One word, of course, is wait."
Tian Feng walked in front of Kanyu.
"My lord, come and see, Zhang Yan is actually just like us, waiting for news from Changshan County.
If his partial army can attack Changshan, we must divide our forces to rescue him, and we will be in a weak position.
But on the other hand, as long as Yan Liang defeats the invading Yellow Turbans and then takes advantage of the situation to attack Zhang Yan's own village, then Zhang Yan will inevitably divide his forces, and this is our chance to win."
Tian Feng said that the main battlefield between them is no longer the main battlefield.
110,000 Yellow Turbans against 70,000 elite troops and Yellow Turban surrender troops have the advantage of city defense. No one dares to claim victory easily. However, as long as the winner is determined in other battlefields, the main battlefield will also follow.
Variety.
"Well, then follow the military advisor's orders. If that doesn't work, send Jushou or Xun You to Changshan to take charge of the battle."
Since the battle in Changshan County would determine the outcome of the main battlefield, Yuan Shu naturally did not dare to neglect it.
"My lord, since you said so, I suggest that you transfer Jushou to Changshan to take charge of the battle."
In fact, what Yuan Shu said was exactly what Tian Feng wanted to say. Jushu and he were both Junyans of Hebei, so they would naturally be closer to Xun You. If he had the opportunity to show his face, he would definitely not recommend Xun You.
"Okay, then I will transfer Jushou to Changshan to take charge of the battle in Changshan. I will order Xu Rong to lead 20,000 Xiliang troops to follow him. I will order Xun You to be the chief transfer officer and be responsible for the army and horses, food and grass, baggage, supplies and other matters for the entire war.
"
"promise."
With the existence of the transmitter, there was no delay in Yuan Shu's military orders. The narrow radio waves traveled hundreds or thousands of miles and were sent to Yanliang, Gaolan, Jiling and Jizhou Xindu respectively.
After receiving the telegram, Gao Lan did not hesitate to arrange the grassland, and mobilized his refined cavalry to go directly south from the grassland, passing through Zhongshan Kingdom and heading towards Changshan.
After receiving the general's order, Jushu handed over all the affairs of Jizhou to Xun You, his two uncles and nephews, and then headed west in a simple carriage under the protection of a hundred guards.
Passing through Tangyang County, they met up with Xu Rong and marched toward Changshan with 20,000 Xiliang elites.
Yan Liang reacted the fastest here. He first sent troops to Changshan, leaving 20,000 militiamen to defend the city, and the remaining 10,000 militiamen marched west to Jingxing to support him, because Zhang Yan's troops had only a few ways to leave Changshan County eastward.
The first road takes Jingxing and Luquan, and the exit is just a stone's throw away from Zhending.
The second route is to go north through the vast Taihang Mountains, go to Puyinxing, pass through Shunping, and then send troops from Shunping south to attack Changshan.
The third road is from Puyinxing, then go north to Feihuxing, pass Laiyuan, go to Yixian, leave Yixian, and go south to Changshan.
The fourth road goes further, across the entire Taihang Mountains, through Junduxing, out of the south entrance to the south entrance of Youzhou, and then goes south.
Looking at the four roads, only Jingxing was the closest and the best road to take. If the Yellow Turban Army moved in large numbers, they would definitely go here, so Yan Liangcai immediately sent more troops to Jingxing to ensure that everything was safe.
Just when Yuan Shu was mobilizing his troops, Zhang Yan's army finally arrived at Wulu's stronghold. By now, all his troops had arrived.
Because he had too many soldiers and horses, Wulu's military stronghold could not accommodate them, so he built some temporary military strongholds after Dazhai for the army to rest and recuperate.
"Your Majesty, Zhang Kai is here to accept the crime."
Zhang Kai tied himself up and knelt in front of Zhang Yan.
"Tell me, tell me exactly what is going on."
As soon as Zhang Yan arrived at Wulu Dazhai, he heard the news that Zhou Da had been killed in battle.
"Your Majesty, after we arrived at Yu Changgen's stronghold, we happened to be challenged by Zhao Yun. Marshal Zhou led his elite soldiers and Yu Changgen out of the stronghold to fight. Unexpectedly, Yu Changgen went out to fight and was picked to death by Zhao Yun with three shots.
Knowing that he was defeated, Marshal Zhou ordered the entire army to return to the stronghold. However, Pang Yi in the stronghold surrendered to Yuan Shu and closed the city gates.
In desperation, the commander-in-chief could only lead his army to flee north, but he was followed and killed by Yingyang's army. He had no choice but to divide his troops and retreat. In the end, the commander-in-chief was killed by Zhao Yun. Except for me and the remaining 20,000 elites, none of the 30,000 elites survived.
, either death or surrender.”
"I failed to protect Marshal Zhou, I deserve to die, I deserve to die, I deserve to die."
After Zhang Kai finished speaking, he began to kowtow on the ground.
"Okay, can you kowtow to bring Zhongyi back to life? Take down the twenty sticks, deprive him of the position of young commander, and keep it as a utility."
"I deserve to die, I deserve to die."
Zhang Kai was dragged out of the gate by two strong men. While being hit by the military staff, he still shouted that he should die. This shows how much Zhou Da's death had affected him.
"Zhao Yun and Pang Yi, I will kill them. All the kings have them. Order your troops and horses to follow me to meet the officers and soldiers."
