Xun You did not let the army march into Jiuyuan, but asked them to ambush aside, and he led more than a thousand cavalry into Jiuyuan.
"Military advisor, why are you here?"
Because Jiuyuan is a strategic location, Yuan Shu still sent Gao Shun to lead the enemy camp and 10,000 militiamen plus 10,000 Lu Bu surrender troops to defend here.
"Gao Shun, my lord is going to fight an ambush in Jiuyuan, and use Jiuyuan as bait to fish out the Qiang people from Shuofang County."
Xun You looked at Gao Shun, a glimmer of expectation flashed in his eyes. He wanted to see what was so special about the general that Yuan Shu had longed for.
"Military advisor, please withdraw the militia. I will also send people to spread the news. There are hundreds of thousands of stones, grain and grass gathered here, and there are only more than 10,000 soldiers and horses. It is an absolute fat sheep."
After hearing Xun You's words, Gao Shun's mind was also turning rapidly. Since he wanted to be a bait, he had to have enough temptation, and he also had to let others know that the defense here was empty and it was worth taking action.
"Yes, that's what I think too. Now that you know it, I'll leave it to you to do it."
Xun You nodded to Gao Shun. What he said and did were all his own thoughts. It seemed that Yuan Shu had his own intentions when he valued the thick-browed general in front of him.
"promise."
Gao Lan had no problem with procrastination, so he did what he said. He immediately invited the foreigners in Jiuyuan City to visit his military rations warehouse. The warehouses full of military rations almost blinded the eyes of the foreigners. At the same time, he ordered the city gates to be opened, and in full view of everyone,
The militia were ordered to go to Wujin County to support Yuan Shu.
In the afternoon, several foreigners left Jiuyuan City and rushed towards Shuofang County.
"Military advisor, look, these people should be the spies placed by the Qiang people in Jiuyuan City."
Gao Lan and Xun You stood on the top of Jiuyuan City, looking at the people walking away, a gleam flashed in their eyes.
"Well, the bait has been put down. It depends on whether the Qiang people can bite the hook."
Xun You nodded, hoping that these Qiang people would not disappoint him.
"Military advisor, have you ever thought about what to do if the Qiang people come with too many troops?"
Although the bait has been thrown out, if what is caught is not a fish but a whale shark, it will be a disaster.
"What you said is indeed a problem, so this is a test for you. I will send the 10,000 militia back to the city in batches. If the Qiang people do not come with more than 50,000 people, I am confident that they will be defeated.
, if it exceeds 50,000, you may need to fight a defensive battle first, and after wearing them down, I will lead the troops to attack."
Xun You looked at Gao Lan. He had thought about all these things, but he probably wouldn't realize them.
Although Shuofang County is said to be occupied by the Qiang people, it is not like an iron bucket. The battles among their tribes are no less than those between the Xiongnu and Xianbei.
Therefore, as long as it is not a matter of life and death, the probability of them jointly sending troops is zero.
"Okay, I'll be there in Jiuyuan."
Gao Shun glanced at Xun You, and then nodded to him heavily.
"I don't want you to be in Jiuyuan. Remember, even if Jiuyuan is gone, you still have to live, because the Lord will not allow you to make any mistakes."
After Xun You finished speaking, he patted Gao Shun on the shoulder and then walked down the stairs slowly.
"Gao Shun knows that there will be nothing wrong with me in Jiuyuan."
Looking at Xun You's retreating back, Gao Shun nodded. Although he said so, the word "escape" had never been in his dictionary.
The Xianbei scouts who set out from Wujin County galloped all the way and finally rushed into Shuofang County.
"who?"
As soon as the scout entered the territory of Shuofang County, he was held down by the Qiang people.
"We are envoys from Yunzhong County asking for help. We have something important to ask for help from your clan leader."
The Xianbei scout who was held down struggled and screamed at the top of his lungs.
"What?"
Hearing the Xianbei people's words, the Qiang people who were guarding him were also stunned. They did not expect to hear such words.
"Really, I have a letter asking for help here."
Seeing that they didn't believe it, the Xianbei man immediately took out the letter for help from his arms and handed it to the Qiang man who was escorting him.
"Take him to see the clan leader."
Seeing the real letter asking for help, the Qiang people did not dare to neglect, and escorted the Xianbei scout to their own tribe.
The same scene happened in more than one place. The several scouts sent out by Banbor were all captured by the Qiang people who were waiting for them.
Once there is one, there are two, and the Xianbei people's letter asking for help spread throughout Shuofang County. But the news is news, the Qiang tribe is not cautiously active in sending troops to rescue the Xianbei people.
First, they don’t care how many of their enemies die.
The second is the ostrich mentality. After all, Yuan Shu has not shown much interest in Shuofang County now. If they send troops now, they are afraid that it will trigger a retaliatory attack from Yuan Shu.
However, this situation changed with the arrival of another news. Jiuyuan City's military supplies were piled up in mountains, and it was only protected by more than ten thousand soldiers and horses. This was simply a golden mountain, and no one was guarding it. No one would be tempted to let it go.
So the large and small Qiang tribes adjacent to Wuyuan County organized themselves, and nearly 60,000 cavalry crossed the border like an overwhelming force and pressed towards Jiuyuan City.
"Military advisor, the Qiang people are very ruthless this time. They have 60,000 horsemen coming towards Jiuyuan City."
Zhao Yun's scouts have spread throughout Wuyuan County, and he received the news as soon as the Qiang people appeared.
"Sixty thousand people, which is a bit beyond expectations."
Although Xun You calculated that these Qiang people would not unite, he misjudged the greed of human nature. The grain and grass in Wuyuan County may not seem like much to him, but in the eyes of those Qiang people, it is a treasure and a golden mountain.
People die for money and birds die for food. For the sake of this food and grass, they put aside their hatred of each other and united together to mine.
"Military advisor, I'm sure I can kill 60,000 people."
Although the enemy has 60,000 cavalry, Zhao Yun is full of confidence. You must know that he has more than 70,000 cavalry in his hands, and he is not afraid of facing him head-on.
"Zilong, we are here to fish, not to fight them. Now we can only look at Gao Shun. As long as he can hold on for three days, we will attack again and we will definitely defeat this wave of enemies."
Xun You looked at the sky in the distance. This was the challenge given by the Qiang people to Gao Shun, and it was also the challenge he gave to Gao Shun. He hoped that he could give himself a perfect answer.
"Military advisor, is this okay? Gao Shun only has 20,000 men, and the opponent has 60,000 cavalry, and the walls of Jiuyuan County are not high, so it will be difficult."
Zhao Yun, like Xun You, looked at Jiuyuan City in the distance, but he was worried.
"Don't worry, Gao Shun is the person that the Lord values after all. I believe he will be fine."
"hope so."
After hearing Xun You's explanation, Zhao Yun could only nod his head, everything was up to Gao Shun himself.
