Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 94
"Marshal, he's just a child. Are you putting too much pressure on him? The Vanguard Battalion has been disabled. Even if we recruit soldiers to form them again, we need a seasoned and experienced veteran. , Today’s vanguard battalion soldiers have no fighting spirit, and I’m afraid even I can’t deal with it in a moment, he has no experience, and it’s even more difficult to deal with, why don’t I send a lieutenant to help him!” Zhou Cang whispered To put it bluntly, for Lei Gong's death in battle, he felt guilty in his heart, so he would look at the young Lei Hu differently.

"He, Leihu, is a little tiger. Although he is young, he will eventually be a tiger that eats people. He should learn to be independent!"

Mu Shan's calm and decisive voice sounded coldly: "I don't have more time for him to grow up. I know Lei Gong too well. Lei Gong has been so strong all his life. I will never hope that his son who has given him high hopes will live in the midst of gentle expectations. To grow up, he needs such cruel experience, I don’t care about the whole pioneer camp, I only want him to become a talent, so don’t send anyone to help them, I want to see their own performance!”

If it was Lei Hu alone, he would still be a little worried.

But Lei Hu still has Mu Jing by his side, so he feels relieved.

The matter of Lei Gong has given him a great vigilance. Generals will eventually die in battle. When they go to the battlefield, no one knows if there will be tomorrow. Today is Lei Gong, who will be tomorrow, is it me, if I die in battle , what should Jinger do.

They should have grown up.

In this chaotic world, if they can't be independent, he will be worried after all.

"Yes!"

Hearing this, Zhou Cang's eyes flickered with a special light, and he nodded without saying a word.

"Zhengfang, what's the situation outside the city?" Mu Shan put all these things to the back of his mind, he just wanted to get revenge, for his most capable general, so he focused on the business, and turned to Li who was beside him. Yan asked.

Li Yan was originally sent by the county magistrate Cai Tu to supervise the army.

But in the current situation, he has already adapted to being Mushan's military adviser, and he handles military affairs inside and out with ease.

"The situation outside the city is a bit complicated!"

Li Yan reported: "Wei Tong's Yellow Turban Army is stationed in the northeast, with a strength of more than [-] soldiers. They set up three camps, forming a triangular offensive and defensive formation. The soldiers, probably the elite soldiers, are looking down and preparing to recapture Guanyang!"

He paused and continued: "There are also two other county soldiers, Xi'e County soldiers and Luyang County soldiers. Escaping is not available, but the new field soldiers in the city are available!"

"New field soldiers?"

Mu Shan squinted his eyes: "I seem to remember that when I was in Tufu Mountain, I had a face-to-face meeting with the Xinye County Captain. He was a very elegant scholar!"

"That's right!"

Li Yan nodded, and said: "Xinye County lieutenant's name is Deng Hong, and his name is Shulin. He is a scholar. He doesn't know martial arts, but he commands more than a thousand soldiers in Xinye County!"

"A scholar who doesn't know martial arts?" Mu Shan was a little surprised.

This is an era of scholars. There are not no Confucian generals, but there are very few. After all, scholars have always disdained ordinary things.

"That's right!"

Li Yan reported carefully and said: "Deng Hong was born in the Deng family of the Xinye family. The Deng family is a real Nanyang family. The ancestor is the famous founder of the country, Gaomihou Deng Yu, who is quite famous in Nanyang. Even though the Deng family seems to have declined in recent years, they are not comparable to ordinary gentry, and I heard that Deng Hong is one of the best!"

Nanyang is the hometown of emperors, the place where dragons rise, and the hometown of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty.

When Liu Xiu rose up in Nanyang to fight against Wang Mang and fight against the green forest and red eyebrows, most of the generals and counselors around him were from Nanyang, so in Nanyang today, it is not easy to meet a few people whose ancestors are extremely glorious when walking on the street. Accident.

Cheng Luo next to him also added: "When Guanyang County fell, the soldiers and horses of Xi'e and Luyang only cared about fleeing for their lives. Only the county soldiers in Xinye, led by Deng Hong, defended Guanyang to the death. The battle was quite difficult. For being brave, but outnumbered, they were suppressed in the east of the city. If Lei Gong hadn't led the vanguard battalion to rush in suddenly, drawing the attention of the Yellow Turban Army, I am afraid that their Xinye County soldiers would be wiped out. Lei Gong's active attack allowed them to preserve their strength, and now this army is still in the city, it is said that this battle also suffered heavy casualties, less than five hundred will be able to move!"

"Lord County Lieutenant, I think we can unite this army, and they can continue to fight under the pressure of ten times as many troops. Regardless of their combat effectiveness, this fighting spirit is very tenacious. With combat effectiveness, it can make up for the lack of our vanguard battalion's loss of combat effectiveness!" Li Yan said: "The Yellow Turban Army outside the city is difficult to deal with, with more strength, we have more chances of winning!"

"it is good!"

Mu Shan nodded. At this time, he only wanted to wipe out the Yellow Turban Army. It would be fine to unite with Xinye County soldiers. He thought for a while, and said to Li Yan: "Zhengfang, you should contact Deng Hong personally and see Deng Hong's reaction. If they If you are willing, then tell them to gather at our department in two days, if not, let them go back to Wufang to rest, don't force it!"

"As ordered!"

"Master, what should we do with the two county soldiers outside the city?" Cheng Luo asked in a low voice.

"A group of idiots. The enemy army fled the city before entering the city. It is useless to stay. Drive them away and limit them to leave Guanyang within one day. I don't want to guard against the knife in the back!"

Mu Shan was actually somewhat wary of the officers and soldiers. After all, he was from the Yellow Turban Army, and he still couldn't completely trust the officers and soldiers, so when fighting, he didn't want officers and soldiers to watch.

"Master County Lieutenant, actually, I have an idea to deal with these two county soldiers."

"Master Jiang, it's rare for you to open your mouth. Tell me!"

Mu Shan raised his head and looked at Jiang Lu with rather strange eyes.

Jiang Lu was forcibly conscripted into the camp by him. He has the arrogance of a scholar, and he doesn't respect him very much. He just does his own thing peacefully, teaches generals to read, and rarely speaks on congratulatory occasions, which makes Mu Shan a little surprised.

"My lord can actually forcibly recruit two county soldiers!"

Jiang Lu's language is not astonishing and endless, but if he doesn't speak, he will be surprised. Once he speaks, several people in the camp are stunned.

"Master Jiang, what are you talking about!" Li Yan shouted angrily, "Your Excellency is the captain of Wuyin County, and he only has the power to command the soldiers of Wuyin County. If he violates his authority, he will be impeached. middle!"

"I will be outside, and the military orders will not be accepted!"

On Jiang Lu's calm face, there was an invisible trace of Xiao Sha: "They are not doing enough to defend the city, or there may be yellow turban bandits among them. We will make a quick decision and confiscate their military power. What's wrong!"

"You!" Li Yan's pupils changed color. He always thought that Jiang Lu was a serious scholar, but what he saw and did today gave him a chill from the bottom of his heart.

"Master Jiang, but they are unlikely to hand over their military power. There will be conflicts at that time, which will naturally be unfavorable to us!"

Cheng Luo said in a low voice.

His position is different from Li Yan's. Li Yan's position is from the position of the Wuyin County Government and the imperial court, while he only cares about the interests of Mushan, and he can do anything as long as it is beneficial to Mushan.

"So good!"

The corner of Jiang Lu's mouth raised a slight smile: "How about we send troops to attack then?"

"What do you mean?"

Mu Shan narrowed his eyes, he felt that what Jiang Lu said meant something.

"My lord, compared with the thieves outside the city, our strength is quite insufficient. Instead of us attacking the Yellow Turban thieves outside the city, it is better to let them take the initiative to attack us. Isn't it better for us to wait for work?"

Jiang Lu said quietly.

"Waiting for work with ease?" The eyes of the generals in the camp suddenly brightened.

"Master Jiang means that we seized the soldiers from the two counties just as bait, pretending to attack them, and lure the snake out of the hole!" Li Yan responded quickly.

"No!"

Jiang Lu shook his head: "It is necessary to capture their soldiers and horses. It is not a feigned attack. Since we want to fight, we must fight for real. This is not just a simple way to lure snakes out of their holes, but a battle of prestige. My lord is not coming when they are called. The slaves who are lingering, the adults must strengthen their authority in the Nanyang Army, so as to have the opportunity to command and deploy the power, but as soon as they are defeated, we will immediately turn around and prepare for battle in the city. As long as the Yellow Turban Army enters the city and uses the city as a battlefield, It will definitely get twice the result with half the effort!"

"Li Wei can deter the inside, and bait can lure snakes out of the hole. This is a strategy that kills two birds with one stone!"

Cheng Luo carefully considered Jiang Lu's proposal, and the more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and his eyes became softer when he looked at Jiang Lu. He handed over Mushan and said loudly: "Master Jiang, I agree with Master Jiang's proposal!"
