Xiliang Iron Cavalry

"Quickly open the city gate. This general is the guard of Fuyang, leading the soldiers to support the giant deer." General Zhao shouted with great enthusiasm.

"Fuyang guard?" The guard muttered.

"Could it be General Zhao?" The guard's eyes lit up and he shouted loudly.

General Zhao didn't expect his reputation to be so famous that even the guards in the county knew him. With a faint blush on his face, he said excitedly, "It's this general, it's this general."

"General Zhao?" the deputy general asked.

"Hehe, it was a general who was stroked by the Yellow Turbans who had joined the lord in the past. He had a very bad style in Fuyang. He didn't usually train soldiers, and the general camp was a mess. He wanted to take credit and went to Julu to rescue the lord. It's really wishful thinking." The guard explained.

"Then let them enter the city?" the lieutenant general asked.

"Let them be stationed outside the city. If they need any food and supplies, order someone to send them there. Such an army will die on the battlefield." The guard thought for a moment and said slowly. He also didn't like General Zhao, so It was not put into the city, and the army outside the city even had crooked flags, how could they go to the battlefield.

"Why don't you let us enter the city?" General Zhao shouted dissatisfied.

"If you need food and supplies, there will be soldiers to send them off. General Zhao will be stationed outside the city." The guard ordered the soldiers guarding the city and walked down the city wall.

This is nothing to Xu Huang and Gan Ning, as long as the Jizhou Army does not find out that they are soldiers of the Xiliang Army, the ultimate goal is to take all the letters, cut off the center of the Jizhou Army, and put Jizhou in a panic , The military order is blocked.

After resting for one night, under the urging of Xu Huang, General Zhao reluctantly left Nanpi. He thought that Xu Huang was aiming to seize Nanpi and carry out a rebellion. Unexpectedly, Xu Huang went to Julu with all his strength and let General Zhao A little timid, the battlefield is not a child's play, even a little carelessness will result in death. Although General Zhao followed Zhang Yan in Montenegro in the early years, he must be one of the first people to escape when a war broke out.

In Xindu, Xu You shook his head slightly after reading the battle report from the front. The Jizhou Army unexpectedly attacked the Xiliang Army and won a big victory, causing the Xiliang Army to lose troops and generals.

"My lord, there is someone outside the mansion asking for an interview, claiming to be an old friend of your lord." A servant said hastily.

Xu You scolded: "Why panic, you are not calm at all, let him in."

"Master Xu, it's been a long time since you've been away, how are you doing in Jizhou?" the visitor said, arching his hands at Xu You.

Xu You looked at the person across from him in puzzlement, searched through his memory, and couldn't remember knowing such a person.

"You are?" Xu You said.

"My lord, it is true that noble people forget things too much. Also, I am just an ordinary businessman in Chang'an City. How could I get into the eyes of my lord."

"Chang'an?" Xu You was startled, and looked at the businessman with an unusual taste.

"Did your lord forget what you promised in Chang'an so quickly?" The businessman didn't mean to flatter Xu You at all, but there was a sense of blame in his tone.

After carefully confirming the signal with the businessman, Xu You breathed a sigh of relief, went out and looked around, and told the servants not to approach, then walked in, cupped his hands at the businessman, and said, "King Liang treats humble officials like this." Appreciation, of course, is to try our best to serve King Liang."

"Okay, Mr. Xu's loyalty is commendable. After Jizhou was breached, Mr. Xu should take the lead." The businessman said with a smile.

"I don't know why King Liang asked your lord to come here?" Although the person in front of him claimed to be a businessman, Xu You didn't dare to trust him.

"The king of Liang attacked Jizhou, and he was determined to win it. He came here for Xindu." The merchant said slowly.

"Xindu?" Xu You asked, "Isn't King Liang outside Julu City? How can he attack Xindu?"

"Could it be that with Master Xu's ability, he can't guess the intention of the King of Liang? The Xiliang army is elite, and the world knows it, but the Jizhou army is not weak either. If the two sides meet head-to-head, the Cao army will take advantage in the end. This is the Liang king. What I don't want to see, and once I believe in it, I will lose it..." The businessman kept silent when he said this.

Xu You nodded slightly. If the letter is really lost, the blow to the Jizhou Army will be unprecedentedly huge, and the mutiny of the soldiers in the army is also very likely. In Julu, there are [-] Jizhou troops, and the daily consumption of food and grass is countless. Letters are where orders are issued. At that time, only one order is needed to store all the food and grass in Xindu instead of sending it to Julu. No matter how capable Yuan Shao is, he will only be defeated.

"My lord's words, I don't dare to agree with the humble officials. Yuan Shao commanded [-] troops in Julu. If there is any change in the belief, he will definitely rush to help in the starry night. Moreover, the city is not the only person in the city. The officials who deal with affairs in Xindu, I am afraid that if they make any moves, the humble officials will be caught immediately."

After hearing Xu You's nagging, the businessman stood up and said, "Master Xu, you don't need to worry too much. You just need to cooperate with me when the time comes. Make sure that Tian Feng won't find any clues."

For half a month, Yuan Shao's army had the absolute upper hand, and there was a faint tendency to overwhelm the Xiliang army, but every time they fought before the battle, the Jizhou army was defeated, which made Yuan Shao a little dissatisfied.

After finally having such an opportunity, Yuan Shao naturally wanted to bully the Xiliang army. Since the successful attack on the Xiliang army camp that day, the soldiers of the Jizhou army seemed to have become stronger overnight, and several tentative battles After that, Yuan Shao's confidence doubled, and he kept going out of the city to fight the Xiliang army.

As the side attacking the city, the Xiliang Army held up the exemption card and would not fight the Jizhou Army.

It was secretly rumored that Jia Rong was waiting for reinforcements, and Chang'an was mobilizing troops. It is estimated that [-] troops will arrive in one month.

This news made Yuan Shao startled, and his actions became more and more serious. He wanted to drive Jia Rong out of Jizhou before the reinforcements arrived, and he had better take advantage of the situation to recover Changshan Kingdom.

"General, if we go in this direction, we will be closer to Julu." General Zhao looked at Xu Huang's direction and said hastily.

Xu Huang said coldly: "Where does this general go, I still use you to tell me what to do."

As the team continued to march, there were more and more soldiers in this team. Of course, Xu Huang's reason was that soldiers were summoned from the villages and counties along the way. There is no difference between the soldiers, and General Zhao didn't think too deeply.

Xindu, as the seat of Jizhou, is not to mention the prosperity. The tall city wall is surrounded by [-] soldiers and horses, and it is difficult to capture it in a short time unless the food and grass in the city run out and the soldiers mutiny.

After hearing the news from the scouts, Xu Huang frowned. Judging from the performance of Xindu, it can be called heavily guarded. It is said that the Xiliang Army did not break through Julu, and it is impossible to reach Xindu. The guards are so anxious.

"It seems that the identity of General Zhao is not easy to use." Xu Huang said softly.

"What does the general mean?" A cold light flashed in Gan Ning's eyes.

"Kill him quietly." Xu Huang said indifferently. Along the way, General Zhao's identity was the shield of the Xiliang Army, helping Xu Huang avoid interrogation time and time again.

"Well, tonight I will take someone to find Xu You in the city, and ask him to take the army into the city." Gan Ning said.

The night was as dark as ink, and the wide streets of Xindu looked particularly desolate. Once it got dark, the city gates would be closed immediately, and all common people and merchants were not allowed to go out of the city. In the past, when Yuan Shao was in Xindu, there was no such thing. Prosperous, now that the war is urgent, Tian Feng attaches great importance to the security of the city, even some arrogant families, when they meet someone like Tian Feng, they have to make a detour.

There was a light knock on the door, and Xu You woke up suddenly, and said in a low voice, "Who?"

"Open the door." Gan Ning whispered outside the door, and immediately gave the password to contact Xu You.

Xu You quickly got up without lighting the lamp, and gently opened the door. After looking around, she closed the door again.

The lights in the room were lighted up by Gan Ning, and after taking a look at the layout of the room, Gan Ning smiled and said, "I didn't expect Mr. Xu to enjoy it."

"You are?" Xu You asked.

"Gan Ning, General of Xiliang Military Advisor." Gan Ning said calmly while fiddling with the things in the house.

"General?" Xu You was startled. In the Xiliang Army, the general is definitely the highest-ranking general. He didn't dare to be negligent, and he saluted, "General."

"Okay, don't use those polite words, think of a way to bring out an army tomorrow, no matter what name you use, the number should be around [-]." Gan Ning said.

"General, you don't know the situation in the city. Now that Tian Feng is in power, even if I am in front of him, I have no right to speak. Moreover, Tian Feng will definitely become suspicious if he mobilizes 1000 people at a time." Xu You said.

"Didn't I say that no matter what method is used, these 1000 people must be taken out." Gan Ning stared at Xu You with burning eyes and said, "Master Xu is a famous figure in Jizhou, can't he even do such a small thing? Could it be that when the little Tian Feng suppressed Mr. Xu?"

Xu You gritted his teeth and said, "I will try my best."

In recent years, the Xu family has been taken care of by the Xiliang army. The family is well-off, not comparable to the Xu family in the past, and Xu You has become the master of the Xu family as he wished, and his reputation in Jizhou is also flourishing.

Gan Ning did not leave Xindu, but sent people out of the city to join Xu Huang.

"What? There are thieves outside the city?" Tian Feng looked at Xu You in confusion. Even if there were thieves outside the city, Xu You shouldn't have sent people out of the city to wipe out the thieves at such a critical moment.

"Lord Tian, ​​before leaving, my lord entrusted me with all the letters to manage. Bandits and bandits outside the city would be extremely unfavorable to the people and merchants in the city. What's more, the Xiliang army's letters are as stable as Mount Tai outside Julu City. There was nothing wrong, and the businessman was looted by bandits outside the city, his family members were killed by bandits, and all his supplies were lost.” Xu You could easily grasp these high-sounding words.
