Hearing Yuan Shu's words, Chen Gong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and Yuan Shu was really awesome.
At the first move, there were 20,000 Polu troops and 20,000 Xiliang elite troops. When paired with Zhang He's 10,000 Jianzhong troops and 30,000 militiamen, 80,000 troops went south.
If coupled with the militia groups gathered in Xiapi, their total strength has reached 300,000, and it can be said that they have completely crushed Cao Cao's coalition forces in terms of military strength.
"I just want to say one thing, no matter what, we must win this battle, understand."
Yuan Shu looked at Chen Gong, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes. He had invested so much in this battle, so he must get a satisfactory answer.
"Please rest assured, my lord, if we fail to win this battle, Chen Gong will come to see you."
After hearing Yuan Shu's words, Chen Gong also became fierce and issued a military order.
"Okay, just try your best and go send the telegram."
Yuan Shu shook his head. He wanted to take Yangzhou, he wanted to rob the Han Emperor, and he wanted to suppress Cao Cao. But even if he lost, he still had a great chance. He didn't want to lose Chen Gong's great plan.
"promise."
Chen Gong did not hesitate, nodded, clasped his fists, and left Yuan Shu's room directly to send a telegram.
"Commander, telegram from my lord."
Thousands of miles away, Youzhou was the first to receive the telegram, and Yan Liang came directly to Xun Chen with the telegram.
"My lord, I'm sending you a telegram now. Has there been a change in Xuzhou?"
Hearing the telegram from Yuan Shu, Xun Chen couldn't help but feel depressed.
He actually disagreed with Yuan Shu's decision to give up his original plan and give up Sizhou and Yongzhou, which were within easy reach, but since it was Yuan Shu's decision, he had no objection. He could only say that the war in Youzhou should be ended as soon as possible, but now what the hell is the telegram?
You must know that he is now launching a campaign to attack Liaodong, so he is not going to mobilize troops.
"Order the war in Youzhou to be suspended, and order Yan Liang to lead the Polu army and Xu Rong's Xiliang army to go south to Xuzhou to support the battle in Yangzhou. There must be no mistake."
Xun Chen was petrified when he saw the content of the telegram. This is so fucking crazy. You know that your current place is thousands of miles away from Xuzhou, so you have to send troops there. What are you thinking?
"Military advisor, what did the lord say?"
Yan Liang looked at Xun Chen's petrified face and couldn't help but feel excited. Could it be that a major change had occurred in Xuzhou?
"See for yourself."
Xun Chen looked at Yan Liangliang and didn't know what to say. You must know that the last battle in Yanzhou was when Yan Liang led the Polu army thousands of miles south to support him. Now he has just come back and has not much time to go south again. He doesn't know if this man can resist.
live.
Yan Liang took the battle report from Xun Chen's hand with melancholy, and then started to watch it. After reading it, he fell into a brief silence.
"What do you think? If you don't want to go, I can tell my lord that the war in Youzhou is about to break out. I believe that my lord will not force you to go south."
Looking at Yan Liang's silent face, Xun Chen couldn't help but feel heartbroken.
"No, my lord needs me now and needs the troops to break the army. I will pack up the army immediately and go south to Xuzhou."
Yan Liang shook his head slightly, turned around and left without hesitation.
"Yan Liang, have a nice trip."
Looking at Yan Liang's determined back, Xun Chen couldn't help but stand up.
"Don't worry, military advisor, Yan Liang will definitely return in triumph."
After hearing Xun Chen's words, Yan Liang's shoulders couldn't help shaking, but he still strode outside.
You must know that Yan Liang's journey south is not simply going south and moving to fight thousands of miles away. This is not the case now with high-speed rail, which is thousands of miles away and arrives at dawn and dusk.
That was during the Three Kingdoms period. Going south for thousands of miles not only tested physical strength, but also the will of the army. If you were not careful, you might die on the way.
But for Yuan Shu and the Jizhou Army, he Yan Liangyi did not hesitate.
"Send it to the general."
Seeing Yan Liang's disappearing shadow, Xun Chen couldn't help but clasp his fists and salute outside.
In order to support Yan Liang and Xu Rong's move south, Xun Chen also spent a lot of money.
You must know that the absolute main force here is only the Polu Army. They are all driven by horse-drawn carriages. Xu Rong's Xiliang Army does not have such treatment. However, in order to ensure that Xu Rong's army can keep up with Yan Liang's pace, Xun Chen directly generals most of the horses.
They contributed it and made it into a carriage for Xu Rongjun and the Polu army to move south together.
Jizhou Xindu
"Commander, telegram from my lord."
Jushou was handling official duties, and the subordinate officer in charge of telegrams came directly in front of him.
"give it to me."
Jushou took the telegram and began to read it.
"Order Jushou to immediately go to Changshan County to take charge, and order Zhang He to lead the Jianzhong Army and 30,000 militiamen to immediately go south to Xuzhou to support the battle of Yangzhou. There must be no mistake."
Slowly placing the telegram on the desk at hand, Jushu fell into deep thought.
Lord, is the situation in Yangzhou already so bad?
Are they going to transfer the Jianzhong Army away?
Although he doesn't understand what Yangzhou has become now, one thing is certain, that is, the battle of Yangzhou has affected the situation of the entire Han Dynasty, so the lord has no choice but to send the Jianzhong Army stationed in his hometown southward.
So now he can only choose to support.
"Here comes someone."
Jushou directly called people outside.
"grown ups."
The officers and soldiers waiting outside the door went directly in and clasped their fists.
"Immediately send people to Changshan and order Zhang He to lead the Jianzhong Army and 30,000 militiamen to go south to Xuzhou to support the battle of Yangzhou. At the same time, prepare chariots and horses. I will go to Changshan County immediately. In addition, I will order all officials to allocate grain and grass to Xuzhou as much as possible to ensure that
Logistics of the Battle of Yangzhou."
Now that it was decided, let's go and sit down. Jushou went out directly and arranged for the messenger to go to Changshan. At the same time, he rushed towards Changshan as quickly as possible. In addition, various places were preparing to get grain and grass and began to maneuver through Qingzhou towards Xuzhou as much as possible.
Liangzhou
"General, my lord, telegram."
Zhao Yun was arranging the next offensive tactics when he heard Yuan Shu's telegram and immediately took it over.
"Instruct Zhao Yun of Xiliang to end the Battle of Liangzhou as soon as possible, and also order Gao Lan to be prepared to lead troops to Xuzhou at any time to support the Battle of Yangzhou."
After seeing the content of the telegram, Zhao Yun couldn't help but lean back. What is the situation in Yangzhou? The Lord is actually preparing to mobilize the troops in Liangzhou. Is the war situation serious enough to be like this?
But no matter what Yuan Shu does, Zhao Yun will support him 100%, for no other reason, because Yuan Shu is the person he recognizes as Zhao Yun.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yun walked out of the tent directly, went straight to the gathering drum, picked up the drumstick and knocked hard on the war drum.
"Boom."
"Boom."
"Boom."
The surging drumbeats resounded throughout the camp, and all the generals rushed to Zhao Yun's tent with steady drumming.
"General."
"General."
"General."
The generals paid tribute directly to Zhao Yun.
"I decided to directly lead the army to attack Dunhuang County, capture it as quickly as possible, and then lead the army north to pacify Zhangye in one fell swoop."
Zhao Yun directly issued an order to storm Dunhuang County.
"General, didn't you originally say that we should act steadily and advance slowly?
Why do we need to attack again now?
Our losses will be huge."
Hearing Zhao Yun's words, Zhang Liao couldn't help but frown. Although his own side was strong, the Qiang and Di tribes entrenched in Dunhuang and Zhangye County were also very strong. If they really wanted to attack by force, they would definitely cause huge losses.
