Xiliang Iron Cavalry

"The lord is worried about the safety of Xindu, so he sent me back to take over the affairs of the city. This is the seal of the lord, and I hope Master Xu can cooperate." Tian Feng took out Yuan Shao's seal.

Xu You was shocked. He knew that Yuan Shao was a soft-hearted man, but he didn't expect Yuan Shao to hand over the great seal to Tian Feng. In this way, it would be difficult to cooperate with the Xiliang Army. With Tian Feng in the city, some things are very difficult. Hid his ears and eyes.

"Lord Tian is loyal and loyal. It is only natural that the master entrusts you with important tasks. The humble official must cooperate." Xu You put his posture very low.

Tian Feng glanced at Xu You in surprise. In the past, Xu You was a master who never wanted to suffer. He always looked arrogant in front of others. Could it be that he changed his mind and called himself a humble job.

When things go wrong, there must be demons. Tian Feng does not believe that Xu You is a person who is easy to subdue, and his vigilance against Xu You will instantly rise. If Xu You knows that his respectful behavior will actually attract Tian Feng's suspicion, what will he do? impressions.

"Master Tian just came back from Julu, so he must be tired. I don't want to bother you because of my lowly position. I will take my leave first. If you have something to do, feel free to call." Xu You said.

Tian Feng nodded slightly, but he was thinking about what he found from the Xiliang Army and the connection with Jizhou. He was thinking about this issue along the way, and found that Jia Rong had no foundation in Jizhou, even if it was Xianlian Pavilion and Xiliang. The army has a huge relationship, and with the strength of Xianlian Pavilion, it is a bit impossible to get Jizhou.

"Pay close attention to the movement of Xianlian Pavilion." Tian Feng ordered.

The guards waiting at the side clasped their fists to promise, and left in a hurry.

But if the princes can think of it, how can the senior officials of the Xiliang Army fail to consider that Xianlian Pavilion already exists as a business, and the Xiliang Army no longer needs the help of Xianlian Pavilion to inquire about information.

Outside Julu City, Jia Rong was much more stable than Yuan Shao. After careful consideration, he found that Gan Ning and the others had almost entered the border of Jizhou, and it was time to loosen their muscles and make the Jizhou army nervous, otherwise With the keenness of the Jizhou counselors, it becomes a bit difficult to detect something and seize Jizhou. However, from various situations, Yuan Shao is constantly adding reinforcements to Julu. This is a good sign. It is best that Yuan Shao can take all of Jizhou. It is easier to gather all the troops in Julu and eliminate them all at once than to destroy them one by one.

Jia Rong remembers the Battle of Guandu, where Cao Cao destroyed Yuan Shao’s food and grass in one fell swoop, causing the collapse of hundreds of thousands of Yuan Shao’s army, and fulfilled Cao Cao’s and Gan Ning’s troops. Defeat is only a matter of time.

The rumbling sound of war drums made Yuan Shao hurried out of the central army's large tent, and summoned soldiers to guard the city.

Wen Chou hurried over, clasped his fists and said, "My lord, the Xiliang army has gathered a team outside the city, as if they are going to attack the city."

"Quickly, order the soldiers to climb the city wall." Yuan Shao said.

"My lord, don't worry, the Xiliang army only has more than 3 people. It is difficult to attack the city without the troops and horses in the city. It will only increase the casualties." Wen Chou said.

Yuan Shao let out a long sigh of relief. The Xiliang Army outside the city was a big stone in his heart. Even with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands, he did not dare to take it lightly. For Jia Rong, Yuan Shao raised his vigilance to the highest level.

"Take me to the city and see what the Xiliang army is going to do." Yuan Shao regained his previous self-confidence. He's just a general, but in a peaceful era, he just flattered the Yuan family, and the Yuan family didn't necessarily take a good look at it. From his background, Yuan Shao regained his confidence.

"My lord, there are quite a lot of defenders in the city, if you attack the city, you will suffer a lot of losses." Mi Wei said from the side.

Jia Rong nodded and said: "That's right, our army went to the city just to make the defenders in the city nervous, and we will not really go to attack the city. There are more than 8 defenders in the city, and it is lucky that they don't come out. "

Mi Wei chuckled, but he didn't think so in his heart. Yuan Shao absolutely didn't have the guts to go out of the city and fight to the death with the Xiliang Army. Judging from Yuan Jun's performance over the past few days, he has always strengthened the city wall, defending more than attacking, it should be said to be a little offensive No, it was all because of the beating. The scouts wandering the battlefield could deliver news to the Xiliang Army at any time. Yuan Shao had a great soldier in his hands, but he was only a deaf and blind man.

"Are the cavalry ready?" Jia Rong cast his gaze on Ma Chao.

"Just wait for the lord's order, and then we can go out immediately." Ma Chao clasped his fists and replied.

The flag was waved, and the cavalry, who had already been prepared, galloped towards the city wall. There was a dense rain of arrows near the city. With Yuan Shao personally sitting in the town, the defenders were also happy and fearless. They fought back, but the casualties they brought were Some were not so good, only a few unlucky cavalry were shot.

"General, this is found in the city." A soldier handed the bow and arrow that the Xiliang army shot into the city to the general.

After Yuan Shao looked at the things wrapped around the arrows, a sneer appeared on his face, "The Xiliang army only used these tricks. They couldn't attack the city, so they began to persuade them to surrender."

"Don't worry about it. Strengthen the patrolling of the soldiers in the city. If you find anything abnormal, report it immediately." Yuan Shao added.

Before the Xiliang army launched the war, he and his advisers had carefully studied the historical battles of the Xiliang army. Among them, the archery persuaded to surrender, but was resolved by Jizhou's advisers in a few words. Collect all the arrows you picked up.

After strutting around outside the city, the Xiliang army began to withdraw its troops. In terms of strength, it was impossible for the Xiliang army to attack Julu, which had more than 8 soldiers. Committing a taboo in the art of war, the Jizhou army has been patient, and this patience will be reversed when the Jizhou army reaches Julu.

In Julu City, Yuan Shao summoned Jushou and others to discuss countermeasures.

"My lord, the Xiliang army outside the city only has more than 3 soldiers, why don't they come out of the city to rob the camp? If the Xiliang army's defense is loose, the current situation in Jizhou can be collapsed in one fell swoop." Shenpei said.

Yuan Shao nodded slightly and said: "It makes sense, but Jia Rong has been unprepared all his life as a soldier. I'm afraid that if he doesn't succeed in robbing the camp, he will lose his troops instead."

"My lord, the Xiliang army secretly has soldiers ready at any time, but our army can be divided into several times to rob the camp, which makes the Xiliang army exhausted. For many days, the Xiliang army has been standing still. I am afraid it is a conspiracy. The strength of the Xiliang army At the peak of prosperity, it is very important to defeat the Xiliang army outside Julu City before other reinforcements arrive," Ju Shou said.

"Oh, the plan will be released?" Yuan Shao was very interested in Jushou's suggestion. Yuan Shao's theoretical knowledge was very solid, but he was a little scared when he mentioned the Xiliang Army, so he wasted such a long time in vain.

"My lord, the Xiliang army outside the city is loose on the outside and tight on the inside. It must have been expected that our army will sneak attack on the camp. Why don't we send three teams to carry out sneak attacks one after another..." Ju Shou slowly expressed his thoughts.

After hearing this, Yuan Shao showed joy on his face, and said: "This plan is great, and I will leave it to you to take charge of it. You must fight to win the battle."

"No." Jushou cupped his hands, and he was very happy to be reused. Under Yuan Shao's tent, Jushou and Tian Feng were rarely reused due to their upright personalities, so that their talents had nowhere to display their talents. Now Xu You is not here. Yuan Shao's side also provided him with an opportunity.

From the counselor's point of view, as long as the lord can do good things and let their strategies be implemented, no matter how much they have been wronged in the past, it is no big deal. Tian Feng is an example. When he was in Jizhou in the past, he was repeatedly punished Yau squeezed out.

In the middle of the night, a group of cavalry quietly left the city and headed towards the camp of the Xiliang Army.

Ju Shou and Yuan Shao expected exactly. When more than 500 cavalry entered the Xiliang army, ambushes rose from all sides and defeated Yuan Shao's army. However, the cavalry was still struggling to support.

The sound of war drums sounded, and another Jizhou army arrived, with more people than just now, more than 1000 people. If the Xiliang army did not take any precautions, the Jizhou army might take advantage of it.

Before this team got close to the Chinese army, they were killed by soldiers in an ambush, and the situation became even more chaotic.

The first two teams can be said to be the bureau laid out by Ju Shou, and the last team is the key to this raid. As long as one team succeeds, it will be a fatal blow to the small Xiliang army.

As expected, when the last [-] cavalry appeared, the Xiliang army panicked. Of course, there was only panic, and there was no rout as Yuan Shao had imagined.

Knowing the news, Jia Rong walked out of the central army tent, hurried forward with his own guards, and quickly quelled the chaos. Looking at the messy camp, Jia Rong's face was very ugly, and he was successfully attacked by Yuan Shao, and the lost soldiers Leaving aside, it will definitely have an impact on the morale of the army.

After cleaning up the big camp and strengthening the patrol, Jia Rong went to sleep in peace.

After this victory, Yuan Shao can be said to be full of ambition. Even if he leads the army out to fight the Xiliang army, he is also confident. The general who led the army deliberately exaggerated the loss of the Xiliang army in order to exaggerate the battle. , but from the city, there are still traces of burning in the Xiliang army camp, which makes Yuan Shao very satisfied.

"Jia Rong's complexion must be very ugly right now." Yuan Shao smiled triumphantly.

After confrontation for so long, this victory is really refreshing.

After the loss, Jia Rong seemed to be more afraid of the Jizhou army in the city, and stood still. Even if there were occasional Jizhou army soldiers who came out of the city to challenge, they would not move at all.

As a result, Yuan Shao became more confident, and gradually put his fear of the Xiliang army behind him, and began to plan a counterattack. After the surprise attack on the camp, Yuan Shao attached great importance to his advisers, and he did it for a while. Seeing this, the counselors under him continued to mobilize their brains and started a series of arrangements against the Xiliang army.
