Xiliang Iron Cavalry

Yuan Shao's face flashed with color, General Yan Liang's Wen Chou has always been Yuan Shao's spoken word, even Zhang Jai and others can't hide his sharpness, so naturally he doesn't want his subordinates to say that Yan Liang can't do it.

Tian Feng nodded slightly. He didn't expect that Xu You, who always only knew how to flatter others, would talk about serious matters once, and cupped his hands and said, "My lord, I am willing to help you!"

When Yuan Shao heard this, his face instantly turned down. He thought that Tian Feng was worried about Yan Liangjun's combat power, so he asked for a fight. No wonder, Tian Feng has always played an opposing role in the army, and has always been at odds with Xu You. Many of them came from Xu You The strategy of the hand was completely rejected by him, and it was rare to agree with it.

"What do Yuan Hao's words mean?"

Tian Feng explained: "My lord, Master Xu's words are true. I have no objection, but the walls of Daijun are high and thick. I am afraid that General Yan will suffer from the enemy's treachery, which will affect our army's war in Youzhou, and Bingzhou Jiarong will attack the city all the way. Pull out the stronghold, I am afraid that Bingzhou will be pacified soon, if you send troops to Youzhou, it will become more difficult to take down Youzhou."

"Hmph, can't the high walled and cheeky generals not be able to capture it? Back then when Gongsun Zan was invincible in Youzhou, he was still defeated by General Yan." Yuan Shao said dissatisfied.

Tian Feng knew that no matter how he explained, he had offended Yuan Shao this time, so he didn't answer, and stood quietly by the side to support Yan Liang's matter, so it was nothing.

Yan Liang has 1 troops in his hands, Daijun has 2 defenders, and 1 people attack a city of 10 people. It seems a little daunting, not to mention that Wei Lan in the city is not only a fierce general, but also a wise general. For so many years, the Wuhuan people have come out of a talent. It is true that Jizhou sent 5 troops, but they came one after another, not all at once, let alone [-] people. I'm afraid there will be opinions immediately, after all, people's hearts are unpredictable.

Suffering a small loss, Yan Liang settled down and let the soldiers set up camp outside the city, and sent cavalry to stand by to guard against the sneak attack by Weilan in the city. The Wuhuan people are desperate lunatics when fighting. what to do.

Yuan Shao is the leader of the coalition army, and he attacked the border of Youzhou in disregard of justice. Yan Rou thought of asking for help from outsiders. Li Ru is the closest to Youzhou and can threaten Yuan Shao. But Li Ru is now in a war stage. Can the entire Bingzhou be kept It was a big problem, and the person who asked for help became Jia Rong. It is hard to imagine that a few years ago, the two sides were still fighting to the death, and in a blink of an eye, they began to develop in the direction of allies.

In order to show sincerity, Yan Rou is willing to cede Dai County to the Xiliang Army. As long as Yuan Shao can be severely injured and Youzhou can be preserved, in Yan Rou's view, it is still acceptable. In the current Youzhou, Liu He is the shepherd of Youzhou on the surface. The highest power holder in Youzhou is actually in the hands of Yan Rou and other Youzhou officials. Although Liu He was invited back by Yan Rou, how can officials who have tasted the taste of power release their power? What's more, Yan Rou took the lead.

After receiving Yan Rou's request for help, Jia Rong's face was brightened. Of course, the longer the battle between Yuan Shaojun and Youzhou Army, the better. If the army in Youzhou can be crippled, the Xiliang army will take advantage of the opportunity to pacify Youzhou in one fell swoop.

"My lord, Daling City was built like an iron barrel by Xu Rong. It is difficult to capture it in a hurry. Why don't you abandon Jingling and attack Ganyang directly, and then go to Linzhou to govern the government. If Li Ru is captured, the battle in Bingzhou will be settled." That's it." Jia Xu remonstrated.

Guo Jia also nodded in agreement, and surrounded the other party's general, he was not afraid that the troops in these cities would not hurry up to rescue them. Wouldn't it be a very happy thing for the army to lay ambushes on the roads that the reinforcements must pass.

Jia Rong pondered for a long time, and agreed to the advice of the two. It was because of Han Sui's doing so that Jia Rong had the opportunity to occupy Jincheng and laid the foundation for the current big business. He didn't want to make the same mistake, but The Bingzhou Army seemed to have lost the strength to turn the tables, and the only cavalry they relied on was also held back by Zhao Yun, Lu Bu and others.

"After the arrival of the [-] troops, our army will directly march to Jinyang, and strive to put down the entire Bingzhou in a single battle!" Jia Rong said.

Seemingly understanding Jia Rong's concerns, Jia Xu nodded slightly in agreement.

Half a month later, [-] troops came to Daling. The next day, Jia Rong left [-] soldiers and horses to garrison outside the city and lead the army to Qianyang. As long as Jiangyang is captured, the whole Bingzhou is like a beautiful woman who has removed her last layer of clothes. , there is no mystery at all.

Xu Rong didn't expect Jia Rong to make such a move, but Li Ru had already expected that Gengyang was the only way for the Xiliang army to attack Jinyang. Among them, Daling is not comparable. If Li Ru understands this point and allows the defenders of all parties to station in Qianyang, it will be extremely difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser.

Seeing Gengyang, Jia Rong couldn't help but gasp. How long would it take for such a moat to be filled up? Moreover, during the time of attacking the city, the moving soldiers became the defenders practicing bows and arrows. A living target, he didn't want the elite of the army to die outside the city like this.

"Fight!" Even though Gengyang City is tall, it can still surpass Hangu Pass.

Jia Rong did not choose to let the infantry fill up the gully, but used a catapult to fill bags of sand and other objects into the moat day and night. Faced with this situation, even the defenders on the city were powerless to attack. As far as the Xiliang army, the army stationed outside the city can put great pressure on the defenders, keeping them in a state of tension all the time and not daring to relax.

After hearing the news of the arrival of the Xiliang Army, Li Ru immediately sent [-] soldiers to garrison, and there was nothing to lose in Ganyang. Li Ru knew better than anyone else that once the Xiliang Army came to Jinyang, Li Ru would face endless soldiers. The rebellion in Bingzhou is just like the so-called wall falling and everyone pushes it, not to mention Bingzhou, where people's hearts are unstable. Jia Rong used benevolent policies in Bingzhou before to gain the trust of the people. It fell into the hands of the Xiliang Army.

Bingzhou General Zhou Yan was guarding the city of Bingzhou. He was a native of Bingzhou. He fought bravely and marched calmly. He won the trust of Li Ru. He was a new general of the Bingzhou Army. Yan can also be regarded as an extraordinary person.

"My lord, I am willing to go to the city and persuade the general to surrender!" Zhou Yi clasped his fists and said.

Jia Rong looked at Zhou Yi who came to see him in the middle of the night in surprise. Since he joined the Xiliang Army, Zhou Yi still chose to guard Yanmen Pass, and Jia Rong did not treat him badly, making him the prefect of Yanmen, but this Yanmen The prefect didn't work for a long time, when he encountered Li Ru's rebellion, Zhou Yi also followed the army and retreated to Chang'an. In Jia Xu's words, such talents are the most sensible, and the most feared by the lords of all dynasties are subordinates who are too active.

"General Zhou, please sit down!" Jia Rong signaled Zhou Yi to sit down.

"Thank you General!"

Picking up a cup of tea on the table, he took a breath.

"General Zhou is the top general of our army, how can he put himself in danger? The Bingzhou army guard in the city is Li Ru's confidant general. It would be unwise to lose a general of our army because of a small stem."

Zhou Yi's expression moved slightly, and he said in a firm tone: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I have acquaintance with Zhou Yan, the guard of the city. I don't think there will be any danger to his life. If the two armies are fighting, they will not be killed, let alone me who is in the west. An unknown little general of the Liang army?"

Jia Rong chuckled, and heard some dissatisfaction in Zhou Yi's tone, "General Zhou, if you can win the city of Gengyang, you should be the first!"

The Xiliang army had their own means to enter the city, otherwise Zhou Yi would not have gone to Jia Rong's camp late at night.

"General Zhou, stay safe and sound!"

"It's you!" Startled, Zhou Yan picked up the saber next to the table and drew it out of its sheath with a clang sound. The guards beside him also became nervous immediately, and the swords out of their sheaths pointed at Zhou Yi in unison.

Zhou Yi smiled and said: "General Zhou, I haven't seen you for many years, but I have become less courageous. I came here alone. Is there any harm to the general? I came late at night, but for the general's life and future. Hundreds of thousands of people."

After signaling his guards to leave, Zhou Yan said coldly: "You and I, my masters, go back, I know your reason for coming."

"In the second week of Bingzhou, the reputation in the Yanmen area was so great. How could I sit and watch the general defend the city? The Xiliang army has [-] people, but there are only more than [-] defenders in the city. How can I resist? It only takes five days. The moat will be razed to the ground, does the general have the confidence to defend Ganyang?"

"If you do your best, you can't predict victory or defeat!" Zhou Yan said firmly, with confidence in his words.

"You and I are both from Bingzhou, and from the same village. Why bother to worry about a small incident at the beginning. After so many years, looking back, I feel how ridiculous we were at that time. Let go, my brother is in the Xiliang Army. Although the reputation is not obvious, but we can still talk, it is because of the great general that our lifelong wishes can be fulfilled." Zhou Yi said slowly.

Zhou Yan was surprisingly silent, and Zhou Yi's words also set off a turbulent wave in his heart. At the beginning, the two people's wish was to be able to gallop on the vast prairie one day, but Jia Rong turned out to be born. He directly destroyed Xianbei, and had an unprecedented feat. He built three cities on the grassland, and left behind the battle between Bingzhou and Xiliang Army. Zhou Yan admired Jia Rong very much. Looking at the monarchs of all dynasties, there are few such courageous figures.

However, ever since Li Ru came to Bingzhou, he trusted Zhou Yan very much. Under his command, Zhou Yan felt more energetic than ever. Even if the world-famous Xiliang army came, he was still not afraid. This may be what Confucian scholars said. Those who die.
