Great Military Division

Chapter 495 Xu You is about to cry: It's not easy to be undercover!

Taihang Mountains.

At the end of winter, it is getting warmer day by day.

The ice and snow melted and merged into streams, which gradually diffused towards the foot of the mountain and merged into streams.

This means that the season of spring plowing is coming. If it is delayed any longer, I am afraid that this year will be wasted.

After all, the north is no better than Nanyang. It is mainly wheat, and rice is rarely grown here.

Nanyang Hanting's rice field fish ecological breeding, I'm afraid I don't know how to do it here, there are many things that are not applicable.

Zhang Yan was sitting on a rock on the top of the hill, rubbing a cobblestone in his hands, the rough stone had a delicate texture by Zhang Yan.

He is always like this, as long as he is in the mood, he likes to rub his hands constantly. When he is in a bad mood, he sits for a whole day, and only when his stomach can't take it anymore, he will get up and go back to camp.

This whole winter, he has come here like this.

only.
It's just more frequent these days. Almost every day, he comes back to sit on the mountain, as if he is escaping, but it is a helpless move. There is no shortage of food in the camp now, otherwise he will really explode.

"General!"

"General—!"

Just as Zhang Yan was caressing the pebbles.

Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded behind him.

It's Guo Daxian.

Zhang Yan judged it all at once.

He turned his head and looked, seeing the other party coming with a smile, he couldn't help but feel a wave of turmoil in his heart, but all the regrets before made him no longer interested, so he just asked casually:
"Why, what's the matter?"

"kindness."

Guo Daxian nodded quickly, he didn't bother to talk nonsense, and said bluntly: "The imperial court has come."

Zhang Yan's eyes suddenly changed, flashing with light, he threw the pebbles casually, and jumped up: "But has the order to attack Jizhou arrived? When are we going to attack?"

"do not know."

Guo Daxian shook his head.

"do not know?"

Zhang Yan frowned, with a confused face: "I don't know, why are you here?"

Although it was a reproach, Guo Daxian still had a smile on his face: "Isn't this impatient, and I didn't care to ask you, so I ran to you? Let's go back together, so that General Zhang won't send someone to look for you again."

"it is good."

Zhang Yan naturally understood.

If there is really an order from the imperial court, Zhang Liao will definitely send someone to look for him.

That being the case, Guo Daxian did nothing wrong, asking in advance would be a waste of time: "Let's go, let's go."

Guo Daxian nodded: "Okay."

The two rushed down the hillside all the way, even ignoring the risk of falling off the cliff.

Guo Daxian is a scholar, but he is not as fast as Zhang Yan. He followed behind and kept calling: "You are waiting for me."

But what responded to him was Zhang Yan's gradually shrinking figure, and the remaining words in the air: "I'm leaving first, you follow up quickly, let the messenger wait in advance, don't waste time."

Chi la-!
Guo Daxian slid a certain distance, and shouted at the place where Zhang Yan's figure disappeared: "Okay, I see, I will arrange everything and wait for your news at the camp."

He was not annoyed, and immediately changed direction and went straight to the camp of the Black Mountain Army.

Not every camp is equipped with carrier pigeons. Some camps in the Taihang Mountains can only rely on soldiers' two legs to pass orders, and they don't even have horses.

Each of them is a master of running in the mountains, crossing mountains and wading through mountains and rivers, although it is not easy for them, it is also a routine.

Let's say that Zhang Yan hurried to Zhang Liao's camp.

as predicted.

Before he could pass, a messenger galloped over to invite him, and the two returned to the barracks together.

Zhang Yan was impatient, and didn't care about etiquette, so he lifted the curtain and walked in, "General, has the imperial court issued an order?"

Zhang Liao gave him a faint smile, nodded and said: "Well, the order has been issued, and we have also thought of a way to deal with Jizhou's new city gate. We will launch a strong attack early in the morning."

"the day after tomorrow?"

Zhang Yan frowned, and said anxiously: "We can attack at any time, we are ready."

Zhang Liao knew that he was impatient, so he was not angry, but just smiled lightly: "I've been waiting for such a long time, is it worse than this hour and a half?"

"I"

Zhang Yan was about to speak, but was interrupted by Dong Zhao: "General Zhang's heart, I will understand it, and the court will understand it, but although you are ready, I still need to learn a little bit about this new type of thing."

"If you don't know how to use it, even if you go to the battlefield, it will have no effect, and you will be tired. Wait for an extra day, so that the brothers can rest and refresh themselves. Once the battle starts, they must take the city as quickly as possible. "

"Yes."

Xu Huang, who was on the opposite side, followed suit: "The general must give us some time to get used to it. Only after mastering this new weapon can we resolve the battle more efficiently."

"And after breaking through the city gate, your people may have to fight fiercely for a long time, trying to sweep Zhongshan, Changshan, and even Julu and other counties with the fastest speed. This will take energy."

In order to gain enough time for spring plowing, the battle in Jizhou must be resolved as quickly as possible, but the size of Jizhou is by no means just a city and a pool, so it is necessary to play a destructive momentum and continue to attack.

The army of the Nanyang court is naturally capable of fighting. The only thing restricting the progress at present must be the energy of the soldiers. After all, this is a labor-intensive job.

but
Zhang Yan, who heard this, was full of confidence.

He patted his chest and assured Zhang Liao, Xu Huang and others: "Don't worry, generals, our Montenegro Army has been waiting for this battle for a long time. Even if it lasts three days and three nights without sleep, no one will complain of being tired."

"What do you mean, the general already understands, don't worry, the general will arrange the rest of the brothers, strive to recharge their spirits, and sweep Jizhou in one battle."

"it is good."

Zhang Liao nodded, very satisfied with Zhang Yan's answer: "Since that's the case, let's go back for now, general, and bring someone here before noon to find Dong Changshi for the fire and thunder bomb."

"At least two per person. Whether we can sweep Zhongshan, Changshan, and Julu at the fastest speed depends entirely on our brothers in the Black Mountain Army. As long as we take down the city, Dong Changshi will immediately arrange spring plowing."

Zhang Yan immediately bowed her body and cupped her hands: "General, don't worry, my brothers in the Black Mountain Army will definitely live up to our high expectations."

Zhang Liao smiled lightly: "It's only natural, how can Liao not know the general's ability, go back and prepare quickly, don't waste time."

Zhang Yan nodded: "Here."

Immediately.

Bow down and leave the tent.

The moment he walked out of the big tent, the haze that had hovered over his head for several months was swept away in an instant.

He stared at the rising sun, and his body and mind seemed to be truly full of strength at this moment.

The day is finally here!

The day for the Black Mountain Army to stand up is finally coming!

*****
Two days later.

Jizhou, Handan.

This is Yuan Shao's current administrative office, and it is also the core of the concentration of troops.

State Shepherd House.

Yuan Shao stood in front of the sand table, frowning and staring at the canine-toothed forces on it: "Now that spring is about to begin, I think the Nanyang court's attack should come soon."

"seriously"

Speaking of this, Yuan Shao glanced over all the civil servants and generals present, and said softly: "I can't wait, we have taken the most complete defense measures."

"As long as we can persevere and abolish the Fuhuo Leiting of Nanyang Hanting, then for us, we will definitely defeat it, and then take advantage of the situation to recover the counties and counties of Jizhou."

Now, Wei County has fallen, and Qinghe has a large number of Nanyang soldiers and horses. If it is not for occupying Handan by itself, it is very likely that the strategy will be deep and it will be compressed by the enemy.

As for the north?

It was just Gongsun Zan and Tian Chou, their troops were extremely limited, their defense might be more than enough, but their offense was slightly insufficient, which was not within the scope of Yuan Shao's thinking at all.

"Yes."

Feng Ji on the side also nodded and nodded: "I am also full of hope for this battle. The myth of Nanyang Hanting's invincibility will surely be broken by us."

"Perhaps, in this way, Liu Yao, Cai Mao and others in the south will respond to us and join the camp against Nanyang."

"as far as I know."

Feng Ji then bowed his body and cupped his hands and said: "The gentry in Jingxiang and Jiangdong have a strong will to resist the publicization of private land in Nanyang Hanting. It is only because of the strength of Nanyang Hanting that they passively accept it."

"If we can defeat Nanyang once, it doesn't take much, and it will definitely have a certain deterrent effect on it. Then we will send people to Jiangdong and Jingxiang to lobby, and it will definitely have a miraculous effect."

The examiner sighed: "Currently we have no news, and we don't know what's going on in Jingxiang and Jiangdong. Since Nanyang has already made a move, it will definitely go all out."

"If we slow down a bit, Nanyang Hanting may have already defeated Cai Mao and completely captured Jiangdong. It really is time to wait."

Xu You on the side followed: "The key issue is that the current initiative is in Nanyang's hands. If they don't take the initiative to attack, it is impossible for us to take the initiative to attack."

"If Nanyang really wants to wait until Jiangdong and Jingxiang are settled, then we really want to be alone. Even if we win temporarily, it may not be able to reverse the situation in the world."

At this moment, although Xu You said so, deep down in his heart, he prayed silently, hoping that His Majesty the Emperor of Nanyang would be more conservative and not be too radical. Only in an invincible position can he truly win.

"Not necessarily."

Yuan Shao said seriously: "If we can defeat Nanyang Hanting once, maybe Cao Cao will have a breakthrough there, or Youzhou."

"As long as we can stabilize Jizhou's basic market, then we may not have the strength to compete with Nanyang. They are developing too fast, and the interior must be a mess. This is the possibility of us turning defeat into victory."

Feng Ji immediately flattered and said: "My lord is wise, indeed! Nanyang Hanting seems to be strong now, but there are too many internal cracks. As long as we win, there is indeed a possibility of turning against the trend."

"We will definitely support the lord with all our strength."

Speaking of this, Feng Ji bowed his body and bowed his hands, solemnly expressing his position.

"We will definitely support the lord with all our strength."

Then, all the civil and military officials in the hall clapped their hands together, echoing Guo Tu.

The corners of Yuan Shao's lips raised slightly, and a faint smile appeared.

but
Today, he is no longer as blindly confident as before.

Even if there is a possibility of turning against the trend, Yuan Shao still remains calm enough: "That being said, but as Ziyuan said, the initiative is now in Nanyang's hands, and the possibility of us wanting to turn against the trend is very small."

"unless."

Yuan Shao's voice dragged on for a long time.

He was thinking, if Nanyang hadn't been so conservative and had really doubled up on the battlefield, his chances of winning would be the greatest.

However, this kind of thought is only for a moment, and then disappears in smoke. It is impossible for things that even he himself dare not imagine, to actually appear in reality.

"Unless what?"

Fengji tentative question.

"It's nothing."

Yuan Shao waved his hand and sighed.

He didn't dare to expect such a thing to happen at all, so he didn't bother to say it.

But next second.

"Report—!"

There was a long sound of announcement outside the hall.

Yuan Shao looked up.

However, his own guard hurried into the hall, bowed his body and cupped his hands and said, "My lord, it's an emergency. A large number of Nanyang soldiers and horses were suddenly found outside the city, rushing towards Handan."

"what?"

Immediately, all the civil and military eyes in the hall were focused on the guards.

Even Yuan Shao himself couldn't believe his ears: "What did you say? The soldiers and horses of Nanyang were found outside the city, but Zhang Liao's elite?"

The judge didn't wait for the guard to answer, and interrupted him with glares: "Have you checked this news carefully? Did you make a mistake?"

"Absolutely nothing wrong."

The guards were sure and sure: "There are indeed Nanyang soldiers and horses outside the city, and judging from the banners, they must be Zhang Liao's elite troops, with a strength of no less than [-]."

"Twenty thousand?"

When the number comes out.

Everyone knew that it must be the elite of Nanyang, and it must be Zhang Liao.

Xu Youmao in the hall was about to explode.

In his heart, he wished to greet the eighteen generations of His Majesty Nanyang's ancestors one by one. After all, he had already given the information, but they didn't modify their plan, and they still dared to attack before the beginning of spring. This is simply too crazy.

I am now an undercover agent!
Once exposed, it is estimated that Yuan Shao will directly choke to death in the cesspit.

"Damn Nanyang."

Xu You was so angry that she scolded her mother in her heart.

But
As an undercover agent, he has no right to resist at all. He can only let the situation change and try to protect himself as much as possible.

However, in the next moment, Yuan Shao looked up to the sky and laughed wildly: "Hahahaha! God helped me, but I didn't expect Zhang Liao to actually come. As long as we can win, the situation will definitely turn around."

Fengji bowed and cupped his hands and said, "My lord, please give me an order. We will do our best to assist you in this battle and defeat Zhang Liao in Nanyang."

"Yes."

Another judge followed suit and nodded: "We have been preparing for such a long time just for today. Since Nanyang soldiers and horses are here today, let him taste the power of our new city gate."

As a last resort, Xu You also echoed: "Master, since Nanyang took the initiative to think, we don't have to be polite. This battle will let him understand that Fu Huo Lei Ting is not invincible."

"That's right, my lord, give your order."

"We are all at your command."

"Play the prestige of Jizhou and defeat Nanyang."

"My lord, please give me an order!"

"."

Facing Jizhou Wenwu who was eager to try, Yuan Shao's heart burned.

His eyes swept across the civil and military halls, and he said sonorously: "Okay, since that's the case, quickly send an order to the generals, according to the original plan, to stick to Handan and severely defeat Zhang Liao. There must be no mistakes."

All civil and military officials clapped their hands together: "Here."

Immediately.

Bow and leave the big tent, each prepares.

Yuan Shao also changed into armor and went straight to the top of the city.

He had just rushed to the top of the city, when a counselor, Feng Ji, hurried up to greet him, his expression slightly flustered: "My lord, something is wrong, in the direction of Changshan and Zhongshan, the smoke is rising."

Burn the fire at night and smoke during the day.

This is a warning signal that Yuan Shao made in advance.

In this way, the movement of Nanyang soldiers can be grasped at the first time.

Now, there are smoke rising from Changshan and Zhongshan, which can only prove that the opponent is attacking in an all-round way, rather than concentrating their forces for a breakthrough.

of course!

This kind of strategy and tactics was also expected by Yuan Shao.

After all, the Black Mountain Army has a lot of troops, and it would be a waste of troops to concentrate on attacking at one point.

According to Nanyang Hanting's military habits and the psychology of the current state of long-term victory, it should also attack across the board.

However, there is no signal from the direction of Bohai and Anping, which is enough to prove that the actions of Cao Cao and Xu Rong are different, as expected.

At this moment, Yuan Shao was not only not angry, but extremely calm, and nodded slowly: "This is normal, our new city gates have been installed properly, and it will definitely make the Black Mountain Army suffer."

"For now, we still have to focus on Handan. As long as Handan can win a big victory, the Black Mountain Army will naturally lose. Don't worry about it, everything is under control."

Only then did Feng Ji secretly heave a sigh of relief: "My lord is wise."

immediately.

Yuan Shao walked to the city wall, stared at the Nanyang soldiers who were lining up outside, and couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief: "I have to admit that the soldiers and horses in Nanyang are indeed elite, especially the equipment. I really envy the dead."

"Don't worry, my lord."

Feng Ji bowed and said softly: "As long as we can defeat Nanyang, we will have these equipments sooner or later. I have already arranged people. Once we get Nanyang's Fuhuo Leiting, we will start researching it immediately."

Yuan Shaochong gave a faint smile to Feng Ji: "With you here, I am naturally relieved."

Not long after, the judge came to the city, bowed his body and cupped his hands: "My lord, the soldiers and horses have been arranged, and all the javelins on the city gate are in place. They will definitely kill Nanyang by surprise."

"kindness."

Yuan Shao nodded affirmatively: "I naturally believe in this point. Send an order to get Zhang He and Gao Lan to be ready. Once the opponent's Fuhuo Thunderbolt fails, they must give them a head-on blow when they are about to attack."

The judge nods his head: "Ziyuan has already arranged for this matter, so don't worry, my lord."

Yuan Shao turned his head and glanced, but did not find Xu You: "Where is Ziyuan?"

"he?"

Feng Ji and Shen Pei were taken aback, but they didn't find any trace of Xu You.

Everyone wanted to witness this historic scene, but there was no trace of Xu You, which was indeed a bit abnormal.

"Send someone to look for it."

Yuan Shao waved his hand and breathed a sigh of relief: "This is all due to your credit, how can we prevent you from witnessing a miracle."

Feng Ji and the examiner clasped their hands together: "Thank you, my lord."

now.

Xu You is in the city, communicating with the generals of all parties.

Of course, he was communicating on the surface, but he was actually delaying time.

After all, once Nanyang has a countermeasure, it will inevitably arouse the suspicion of the judge and Yuan Shao, and those who may leak this situation must be insiders.

Although Xu You was deeply trusted by Yuan Shao, but in terms of experience, only Xu You had been to Cao Cao, and Shen Pei, Feng Ji and others had no such opportunity at all.

The possibility of self-exposure is extremely high.

"You guys must remember to fight the enemy bravely and protect the folks, understand?"

"understand!"

"Ziyuan!"

"Ziyuan—!"

Just as Xu You was communicating with the soldiers.

Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded behind him.

It's Xun Chen.

Xu You made a judgment at once.

He hesitated, and immediately understood the purpose of Xun Chen's coming here: "Damn! It seems that today's catastrophe is really impossible to escape. Damn Nanyang Hanting, I shouldn't trust them."

but
Although he was angry, when he turned to look at Xun Chen, his face was still expressionless: "You Ruo, why are you here if you're not helping at the top of the city?"

"My lord sent me here."

Xun Chen didn't have any doubts, and said directly: "The lord wants you to go to the city and witness the miracle together. This time, we will definitely defeat Nanyang."

"Okay okay."

Xu You nodded awkwardly.

Have to admit.

Yuan Shao may indeed defeat Nanyang, but only Xu You knows.

Since the opponent is fighting on all fronts, it is very likely that they already have a fighting method, otherwise it should be just a tentative attack. This is not to witness a miracle, it is obviously to let them be buried with them.

but
He has no better reason to decline at present.

I had no choice but to agree.

"how?"

Xun Chen frowned, grabbed Xu You, and looked at him carefully: "Are you still happy?"

Xu You hurriedly explained: "How can you not be happy? It's just a little worried."

Xun Chen sneered: "There is nothing to worry about. In this battle, our chances of winning are relatively high."

"I don't worry about that."

Xu You let out a long breath, tried hard to hide his expression, and said softly.

"Then what are you worried about?"

Xun Chen was even more curious because of this, and asked again.

"uh this"

Xu You got wise in a hurry, and said casually: "I'm just worried, if we defeat Nanyang, but the news doesn't reach Jingxiang and Jiangdong, wouldn't it be of little help to the battle situation?"

"We live in Jizhou, so we may not be able to fight out, but once Nanyang suffers setbacks, we will definitely take a defensive position. We can support it for a year or two, no problem, but Nanyang Hanting has a vast land, and it may last seven or eight years. live."

"This"

Xun Chen sighed and nodded slowly: "It's really a problem. Ziyuan's thinking is really far-reaching, beyond the reach of my subordinates. We should really think about information transmission now."

"Walk."

Xun Chen waved his hand: "Let's rush to the top of the city now, tell the Lord about this matter, and let him think of a way in advance."

Xu You was embarrassed, and the muscles at the corners of his lips twitched subconsciously: "Uh, this one is fine."

It's a blessing, not a disaster, it's a disaster that can't be avoided.

Xu You knew that he was going to cross the catastrophe today!

It's not good to be an undercover agent!
