Speaking of generals born in Bingzhou, the first one to be recommended is naturally our dignified Marquis of Wen, Lü Bu and Lü Fengxian.
Historically, after Lu Bu's defeat from Chang'an, he first defected to Zhang Yang, and then defected to Yuan Shao. He was not welcomed and then defected to Zhang Yang a second time. Moreover, when Cao Cao attacked Lu Bu, among the princes, only Zhang Yang supported Lu Bu. This also proves the relationship between the two.
The relationship is absolutely extraordinary.
"For the sake of publicity, is Lu Bu worth sending troops to fight against us?"
Although the relationship between the two is unusual, Lu Bu's current life is not peaceful. Not to mention Niu Fu from Shaanxi, Li Jue and Guo Si are also not easy people.
"My lord, Lu Bu is a man who loves success and is brave but not resourceful. But all such people have one thing in common, which is a great sense of loyalty. This is the saying that brothers are like brothers. If Lu Bu knew that Zhang Yang was in trouble, he would definitely abandon Shaanxi.
Land, lead the troops to Bingzhou for rescue."
Xun You was a first-class judge of people, so he could guess the enemy's thoughts repeatedly and formulate corresponding strategies. Otherwise, how could a ruthless man like Li Ru fall into his trap and be sent to jail by Xun You using Bai Xin's technique.
"In this case, there will be a fierce battle to be fought. Although Lu Bu is a common man, he is very good at running the army and training troops. Especially his subordinates Zhang Liao and Gao Shun are ruthless characters. We must be careful."
Now that Xun You has analyzed it so clearly, he has to consider Lu Bu's factor more.
"I'm not very worried about Lu Bu. He led an army of 50,000 to conquer Shaanxi. It's impossible for the whole army to rush to help merge the state. Even if he wanted to, Wang Yun of Chang'an would not agree.
Therefore, the most likely thing is to leave a general to lead the army to continue the crusade against Niu Fu, while he himself will lead half of his troops to rush for reinforcements. The number will not exceed 30,000. I am afraid that Lu Bu will not be Zhang Yang's only support.
I'm afraid he will borrow troops from the Qianghu and Xiongnu."
Xun You expressed his worries.
"He dares."
Speaking of borrowing troops, Yuan Shu couldn't help but get angry, because the Wuhu Luanhua after the Jin Dynasty evolved from borrowing troops from foreign races. If Zhang Yang really dared to do this, he would never bypass Zhang Yang.
"Lord, this is just my speculation. It doesn't mean that Zhang Yang will do this."
Seeing Yuan Shu's expression, Xun You was also stunned.
"If you want to destroy it, you must first make it crazy. In order to ensure his rights, Zhang Yang will definitely find ways to enhance his strength. Borrowing troops is not a speculation but an inevitable move."
Although Xun You said it was speculation, Yuan Shu believed that this was not speculation but fact.
"In this case, our march plan may really have to change. It will be very troublesome for the Qiang and Huns to send troops."
Since Yuan Shu concluded that Zhang Yang would borrow troops, then this matter is most likely true.
"Trouble? I think the advantages outweigh the disadvantages for us."
Although Xun You thought so, Yuan Shu grinned slightly.
"??"
Now it was Xun You's turn to be stunned. He didn't understand what Yuan Shu meant.
"Gongda, I just want to say one thing, friends come with fine wine, and wolves come with swords and guns. As long as these aliens dare to come over, I will make sure that none of them can escape.
Although it is said that the enemy is kept outside the country, it is not bad to kill tens of thousands of aliens in Bingzhou. At least we have an excuse to attack them. In addition, it can reduce the strength of the aliens and make our trip to the grassland a little easier.
Even the people of Bingzhou will suffer again."
"As the saying goes, every gain must have a loss. Some losses are in order to get better. I believe that the people will suffer this disaster for the last time."
Xun You nodded after hearing Yuan Shu's words. Indeed, as Yuan Shu said, as long as these aliens dare to come, he will definitely make these people feel the despair of hell.
"Well, change the original itinerary and order the entire army to increase speed. After capturing Xinxing County, we will immediately attack Leping. After winning Leping, we will rush into Shangdang in one go."
"Lord, as the saying goes, soldiers are valuable and quick, Xinxing County can just send a partial army there. I suggest that the army directly transfer to Leping County."
Now that Yuan Shu decided to change his strategy, Xun You was not polite.
"Well, that's very good, Zilong."
"exist."
Zhao Yun stood up and cupped his fists at Yuan Shu.
"I order you to take your own troops and ten thousand militiamen to Xinxing County. If the prefect Xu Mi refuses to surrender, he will be killed without mercy. After taking Xinxing County, you will leave the militiamen to garrison. Yingyang's army will rush south to join me."
"promise."
Zhao Yun nodded and left the tent directly.
"The rest of the troops diverted to Leping County."
"promise."
Originally, the strategy formulated by Yuan Shu and Xun You was to advance steadily, use Xinxing County as the base to radiate in all directions, capture Yanmen, Leping and Taiyuan counties, and then attack Shangdang.
This is because this will put the greatest pressure on Zhang Yang and strive to achieve the effect of defeating the enemy without fighting. However, Zhang Yang has already given a decisive action, so he must first take down the hard bones.
Zhao Yun led the Yingyang Army and 10,000 militiamen and continued to rush to Xinxing County without changing the original route, while Yuan Shu led 90,000 troops south to Leping.
When Yuan Shu divided his troops, Lu Bu was also rushing towards Bingzhou. Although Lu Bu's main force was 20,000 Bingzhou wolf cavalry, he left Zhang Liao 10,000, and he led 10,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry. The marching speed could not be increased at all.
Both sides were on their way, racing against time. When Yuan Shu arrived at the Leping border, news from Zhao Yun also came.
Just as he imagined, Xu Mi, the governor of Xinxing County, did not resist. After Zhao Yun arrived, he opened the city and surrendered. Zhao Yun occupied the entire Xinxing County without any effort. After leaving 10,000 militiamen to garrison Jiuyuan, he led the Yingyang Army south at high speed to follow.
Yuan Shu's turn.
"My lord, the same should be true for Leping. The prefect Yue Qing is a coward and will not dare to stop us. Now we can prepare for the battle with the Shangdang."
Hearing that Zhao Yun had captured Xinxing County, Xun You was relieved. This was a good start. If all the counties in Bingzhou led troops to resist him, continuing the attack would not only increase the time, but also waste his own resources.
strength.
"Well, since we believe that Leping is like this, we will send Gao Lan to lead the Weilu army to bypass and directly attack Zhan County."
"Take orders."
Gao Lan led the Weilu army to set off directly, passing through Leping County and rushing towards Zhan County, the northern gate of Shangdang County.
"My lord, Yuan Shu abandoned Xinxing County and went to Leping."
Yang Chou took the news from the scouts and came directly to Zhang Yang.
"Yuan Shu is Xiang Zhuang's sword dance."
After hearing such ugly military reports, Zhang Yang couldn't help but frown again.
"My lord, Hubeiguan in Zhan County is our northern gateway. I suggest you immediately lead your entire army to support us. At the same time, you order Mu Shun to send troops from Taiyuan County to the north to attack Yuan Shu's grain road. Yuan Shu's supplies are not smooth when he comes from afar, and Mu
If they attack the grain road secretly, they will be defeated in less than three months."
