Xiliang Iron Cavalry

Gan Ning secretly clenched his fists, looking at Lu Lu with burning eyes.

Few people live on the seaside. The coastline of this era is not as prosperous as in later generations. Herdsmen's boats can only fish in the shallow sea and cannot go to sea at all. Moreover, the fishermen on the seaside are very poor. Those who live by the sea are poor people without money.

There were many busy figures in the distance, which made Gan Ning frowned. These people must be poor people living by the sea, and they have to go fishing every day for food and clothing, but the existence of these people is to a certain extent Affected the campaign of the Xiliang Army.

Gritting his teeth, Gan Ning said, "The three of you will lead a hundred sailors to the shore, and you won't leave a single one alive."

"Promise." The three of them were all water thieves, and they had followed Gan Ning for many years. They always carried out Gan Ning's orders to the letter.

"General, no, these are ordinary people, not soldiers from Jizhou. Even if the lord is here, he would definitely not agree to it. This matter is very important. Please take it back, General." A general persuaded.

As a member of the Xiliang Army, the general knows a lot more about the rules of the army than Gan Ning. In the past, the Xiliang Army did not conquer a single place, and they would go out to calm the people. All conditions are beneficial to the people. After a long time, there is a saying that Liang Wang Anmin is like a son, and the soldiers who offend the people will basically be punished.

Gan Ning said: "The general will not be accepted by the king's orders. What's more, we are on the border of Jizhou at this time. What does the people of Jizhou have to do with our Xiliang army? They will report to the nearby counties for a little money, so the master’s plan will fall short, and it will be even more difficult to capture Jizhou in the future.”

Seeing that what Jia Rong said was also reasonable, the general stopped talking.

"General Gan is right. The last general also agrees to kill all the people and not leak the news. After conquering Jizhou, this general will plead guilty in front of King Liang."

Seeing the speaker, the general shut his mouth tightly. This time he went to Jizhou, the general on the water was Gan Ning, and the chief general of the land army was the speaker. Xu Huang's reputation in the army is not weak , and this time the troops were dispatched by Jia Xu as his main general.

Being the celebrity in front of Jia Xu is enough to make all the generals look sideways. After all, Jia Xu's eyesight is notoriously poisonous in the army.

Since joining the Xiliang Army, Xu Huang has not been reused as expected. Even if he attacked Youzhou and Bingzhou, he was left in Chang'an to wait for his orders. Years of polishing also smoothed his edges and corners. Quite a lot. To be honest, he really felt that he had learned a lot in the Xiliang Army, especially the military lessons of the Xiliang Army. He never missed it. I have a lot of experience in the field, but I have a lot of experience. I have long been yearning for personally leading troops to fight.

Jia Xu talked with him many times, and when he heard his views on military affairs, he also admired him, and recommended him to Jia Rong many times.

Now Xu Huang is already a regimental general in the army, with a prominent position. As the commander of the army this time, his temporary official position is even that of a division general.

"With General Xu's words, I feel relieved." Gan Ning laughed, looking at Xu Huang's pale face, he said with concern: "The sea is very stormy, so General Xu should go to the boat to rest. For a period of time, there may be a major battle."

Xu Huang shook his head and walked into the boat. This month's life made Xu Huang completely hate the boat. He wobbled and spit out the food he ate from time to time. It was very uncomfortable. The key was Jia Rong's The strategy cannot be changed. Once Jizhou is taken down, he, Xu Huang, is the biggest contributor. Compared with the credit for taking down Jizhou, this crime is nothing.

A small boat appeared in the sight of the fishermen. They lived by the sea all the year round. It is rare to see a boat coming from the distance of the sea. Many fishermen thought it was a fisherman who had just returned from fishing.

As soon as they landed, the soldiers on the boat immediately showed hideous faces, and pointed their bows and arrows at the unarmed civilians. This massacre ended in a one-sided trend. Many fishermen fell in a pool of blood before they had time to react. middle.

After Gan Ning came ashore, seeing these miserable conditions, he murmured, "I can only blame you for living in the wrong place."

After the water army landed, they immediately set up camp. Seeing that they had reached the land, many soldiers had smiles on their faces. It was really uncomfortable to have been floating on the sea for so many days. They were not specially trained soldiers. It is difficult to maintain sufficient spirit at sea.

After three full days of rest, Gan Ning and Xu Huang led the soldiers forward. With the map provided by the Xiliang Army, they found their way easily.

There were [-] soldiers left on the building boat. On the sea, even if the Jizhou army came with a hundred and eighty thousand soldiers, they could not do anything to them.

In Julu City, Tian Feng frowned. From the Xiliang Army, he felt an unusual aura. Judging from the wars launched by the Xiliang Army in the past, every time it was a quick victory, it ended neatly. How can there be such a mother-in-law who has been stationing the army outside the city for more than a month without any movement. Judging from the news from Yan Liang and Zhang Jaw, there must be a powerful weapon in the Xiliang Army that can directly kill The gate of the city was lost, so the gate of Julu City was blocked by huge stones at the back, just in case the weapons of the Xiliang Army, there were still a large number of soldiers stationed at the gate, even if the gate was suddenly lost, Xiliang The Liang army also had no hope of attacking the city. It can be said that the current Julu is a monolith.

"Lord Tian, ​​please see me." The guard walked into the tent and bowed respectfully.

Yuan Shao said lightly: "Let him in."

The Xiliang army has been confronting the Jizhou army outside the city, which made Yuan Shao very happy. This shows that the Xiliang army can't do anything to the Jizhou army. He can't wait for this situation to continue. It is a big problem. As long as you drag the Xiliang army here, and when the army in your hand arrives, you can immediately start a war with the Xiliang army. As expected, half a month will be the time for the decisive battle. Jia Rong realized how ridiculous it was to break the covenant and attack Jizhou.

"Yuan Hao, why did you come here in such a hurry? You are now one of the few ministers in Jizhou, so you should be more careful in your behavior." Yuan Shao said.

"Thank you, my lord, for reminding me, I must pay attention to my lowly position." After being polite, Tian Feng went directly to the topic, "My lord, the Xiliang army has been stationed outside the city, and they are standing still. Don't you think my lord thinks there is something wrong with it?"

"Fraud?" Yuan Shao asked puzzled.

"Looking at the previous battles of the Xiliang Army, they were all quick and quick, without the slightest sloppiness. Why did the troops stand still outside Julu City?" Tian Feng said.

"Oh, this, there are more than 8 defenders in the city, and they are all the elite of our army. Jia Rong knew he was invincible, and he didn't want to retreat in despair, so he had to stay outside the city." Yuan Shao relaxed. Said, thought it was something big happened in the army.

"My lord, I don't think so. Since Jia Rong became the prefect of Jincheng, he has had few defeats. Even the Xianbei people who were raging on the border of the Han Dynasty were defeated by him. How could they retreat because of the large number of defenders in the city? There is a conspiracy." Tian Feng was afraid that Yuan Shao would not agree with his words, and continued: "My lord, there are more than 8 defenders in the city, while the Xiliang Army outside the city has only more than 3 people. With the strength of the Xiliang Army, it is naturally not enough. There are only so many people, where did the rest go? Is it because the Xiliang army can't afford food and grass?"

Tian Feng's words made Yuan Shao wake up from his arrogance just now. The financial resources of the Xiliang Army, even Cao Cao can't compare with it in the world, and this time they only used [-] troops in Jizhou. Did Jia Rong think that Can Jizhou be captured with [-] troops?

"Soldiers, it's a matter of life and death. Yuan Hao will handle this matter. You should hurry back to Xindu."

"No." Tian Feng agreed immediately without the slightest hesitation.

"This is my great seal. After returning to Xindu, I can fully manage the affairs of the city. Anyone, if someone blocks you, you know what to do." Yuan Shao said.

"Thank you, my lord, for your trust. I will do my best not to give the Xiliang army any chance." Tian Feng said, at this critical moment, Yuan Shao entrusted himself with such an important task, which shows that he trusts him very much. It was enough for Tian Feng to give everything for Yuan Shao, even his life, and all the grievances he had suffered in the past were melted into smoke at this moment.

"Ziyuan is still in Xindu. After you go back, discuss everything with him." Yuan Shao suddenly remembered that Xu You was in Xindu. The evaluation of Tian Feng and others is much higher, but they are too smooth.

"No." Although Tian Feng felt a little unhappy, he still agreed.

After rushing back to Xindu, Tian Feng found that the city was still as stable as before, without any changes. There were many people and businessmen in the city, and there was no tension like that in Julu City. Pay attention.

"Could it be that I'm thinking too much?" Tian Feng asked. As a military strategist, his ability to command troops and plan strategies is undoubted, and he is also quite capable in governing the local area. It's just that flattery is no better than Xu You, otherwise Tian Feng No one in the Jizhou Army can compare to his ability.

"Why did Master Tian come back from Julu City? The battle ahead is urgent. My lord doesn't have any counselors at hand. It's time for Master Tian to contribute." Xu You heard that Tian Feng came back from Julu, and thought it was Yuan Shao who had discovered something. Seeing that Tian Feng didn't take any targeted actions after he came back, he was relieved. The matter between him and Jia Rong was absolutely confidential, even the soldiers who followed him to Chang'an didn't know about it.
