Chapter 653: People’s support is available
"Chief, what is the origin of this gentleman?"
Zhang Hu looked at Zhang Nian and couldn't help but tremble at the corner of his mouth.
"I don't know, but judging from the fact that his magnanimity is even greater than that of our General Han Sui, combined with the fact that he just called Yuan Zhoumu by his first name, this gentleman is probably."
Zhang Nian did not speak, but pointed his finger at the sky above his head.
"You said that person is Jizhou Mu."
Hearing Zhang Nian's words, Zhang Hu almost fell to his knees. Thinking of Yuan Shu who had pointed an iron fork at him when he first entered the village, his heart was really frightened.
"Shh, be quiet, don't say more. If that person is really a god, Liangzhou might really be saved."
After Zhang Nian finished speaking, he turned around and entered the village. Zhang Hu and others looked at each other with horror on their faces, and then followed Zhang Nian back to the village.
It took Yuan Shu and the others an hour to walk there, but it only took them less than half an hour to get back.
Entering the city, Yuan Shu called Xun You directly.
"Lord, why are you calling me?"
Xun You, who had just entered, looked at Yuan Shu, his eyes full of doubts.
"Gongda, I just went out for a walk."
Yuan Shu took a sip of the hot tea brought by his bodyguard and looked at Xun You with squinted eyes.
"I know, what's wrong?"
Xun You was even more confused now. What happened to you when you went out for a walk?
What does it have to do with myself?
"do you know?
Now the people of Liangzhou are also looking forward to us coming here, and they hope that we can take charge of Liangzhou."
A ray of light flashed in Yuan Shu's eyes when he spoke.
"My lord, do you mean that the people's support is towards me?"
Now Xun You finally understood what Yuan Shu meant. As the old saying goes, the weather is not as good as the right place, and the right place is not as good as the people. If the people of Liangzhou really care about themselves, then everything will be simple.
"Well, so we must end the war as soon as possible so that the people of Liangzhou can live a good life like the people of Jizhou."
Yuan Shu nodded.
"I understand. The preparations are almost complete now. We can set off and attack Ma Teng in three days."
Since Yuan Shu wants to end it as soon as possible, Xun You has nothing to wait for.
"Okay, then send a telegram to Zhang Liao and ask him to maneuver to the predetermined location. After we start here, he will also start as soon as possible."
"promise."
Three days later, Yuan Shu was ready and vowed to send out troops in Jincheng. This time it was definitely an overwhelming force.
The infantry included the Tiger Army led by Wen Chou, Ju Yi's Xianden Army, Dian Wei's Guards and the Thirty Thousand People's Regiment.
The cavalry is even more powerful. The Yingyang Army and Weilu Army are all in place, as well as the Xianbei Servant Army and Xihe Cavalry that have recently arrived to support. The cavalry alone has a total of 70,000 people, and the total number of troops is 150,000.
, these are just Yuan Shu’s soldiers and horses,
If we add Han Sui's 20,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry, as well as Yang Qiu, Cheng Yin, and Li Kan's 20,000 infantry and 20,000 cavalry, the total number of troops is already 230,000.
This is just Yuan Shu's own troops. If you include the 20,000 cavalry supported by the Qiang tribe who are close to Han Sui, the total strength has reached 250,000, and the cavalry is as much as 130,000. Compared with the Battle of Yanzhou
Even more powerful, it can be called terrifying,
In addition, Yuan Shu in the land of Jincheng also left a militia group transferred from Bingzhou by Xun You to take charge of defense and ensure that the rear area was safe and sound.
Wherever Ma Teng was, soldiers and horses gathered together. Liang Xing, Ma Wan, Zhang Heng and others all led their troops to Guzang in Wuwei County. There were a total of 60,000 elites, including more than 30,000 cavalry.
Coupled with the 50,000 cavalry supported by the Qiang people, Ma Teng now has as many as 140,000 troops, 90,000 cavalry, and 50,000 infantry. He is the only one in Liangzhou.
"My lord, Yuan Shu swore an oath in Jincheng, commanded an army of 500,000 cavalry and infantry, and came towards Wuwei County."
A scout rushed into Ma Teng's mansion in a hurry and told Yuan Shu's actions in a hurry.
"How many?
Five hundred thousand?"
Hearing the scout's words, Ma Wan's eyes almost flew out of his head. Five hundred thousand, where is Wan?
If Yuan Shu really had so many soldiers and horses, he would still have a ball and surrender directly.
Not only Ma Wan was like this, but everyone else was the same, especially the Qiang leader who came to help him, his eyes flashed with fear.
"Everyone, please be patient."
Looking at the faces of everyone, Ma Teng was calm and pressed his hands directly on them.
"Brother Shoucheng, Yuan Shu has an army of 500,000, and we only have a few hundred thousand. How should we fight this battle?"
Zhang Heng glanced at Ma Teng, his tone still a little fearful.
"Haha, he said he has 500,000 people, does he really have 500,000 people?
Not to mention other things, the supplies of 500,000 people alone can drag Yuan Shu to death, let alone a war. Now I estimate that his troops are only a few hundred thousand, and at most no more than 200,000, and among them
There are still mostly infantry and few cavalry, so there is no need to be afraid of those."
Ma Teng smiled slightly and expressed his opinion.
After hearing that Yuan Shu only had hundreds of thousands of soldiers, everyone looked a little better. In fact, if you think about it, Liangzhou is poor and Bingzhou is not rich. If there are really so many soldiers and horses, with the strength of these two states, there is no way.
He couldn't afford to support him. If he transported grain from Jizhou, the consumption alone would drag him to death.
"Then what should we do now? Even if Yuan Shu has 200,000 soldiers and horses, he is still far ahead of us. If we fight head-on, we may not be able to defeat him."
Although Ma Teng's words dispelled everyone's fear, Yuan Shu's strength was there after all, and they were really not as good as each other.
"Haha, it's okay. Our troops are not just what we have in front of us, we also have helpers."
Ma Teng was not afraid at all, because he also had an unknown helper.
"oh?
who is it?
Apart from forces like us, I can’t think of anyone in Liangzhou who can help us.”
Zhang Heng was also stunned when he heard Ma Teng say there were helpers.
"Liangzhou only has so many forces, but what about outside Liangzhou?"
Ma Teng, however, targeted the princes outside Liangzhou.
"Outside of Liangzhou, you are not talking about Li Jue, Guo Si and others from Chang'an, are you?"
Liang Xing was still very knowledgeable. As soon as Ma Teng spoke, he thought of Li Jue, Guo Si and others who were far away in Chang'an. Now they were the only ones who might send troops to assist him.
"Yes, I have sent people to discuss with Li Jue and others. They will send troops to attack Jincheng in at most half a month. Jincheng is now Yuan Shu's rear base. If this place is cut off, Yuan Shu's army of more than ten or two hundred thousand will be destroyed.
It’s completely over.”
Although Ma Teng said this now, his people had just gone to Chang'an. He did not know whether Li Jue, Guo Si and others would agree to send troops, but what he had to do now was to stabilize his allies so that they could feel at ease.
Fight against Yuan Shu with his father-in-law.
"How great! Brother Shoucheng is indeed a descendant of General Fubo. We admire him for his strategic plan."
