Liu Qi, the eldest son of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 41 The First Battle of Jiaozhou

() Liu Qi was stationed in Guiyang in An Ansheng, but Jiaozhou people don't have such a good leisure time.Inspector Lai Gong, Cangwu prefect Wu Ju and others were all from Liu Biao of Jingzhou. Not only were they not afraid at all, but they ate the pot and gave them a warm welcome.

Shi Xie, headed by the prefect of Jiaozhi, and others are afraid, especially the gentry. Liu Qi's slogan for coming here is to crusade against the gentry and protect the interests of the people of Jiaozhou.

In July of the fourth year of Jian'an, Liu Qi's army was stationed in Guiyang, and the troops did not move, and they made plans to replenish food, grass and armaments.The prefect's mansion in Guiyang temporarily became Liu Qi's military and government affairs processing center.

The small Guiyang City became the focus of wartime, and it was quite lively with countless people coming and going.In the prefect's mansion, Liu Qi, dressed in white and white trousers, held a folding fan in his hand, waving it lightly, and sat on the main seat.Standing on the left hand side are Kuai Yue, Jia Xu, Han Song, Zhuge Jin, Pang Tong, Meng Gongwei and other civil servants and Confucian generals who are full of economics, elegant temperament, and well versed in strategy; on the right hand are tiger generals, Huang Zhong, Zhang Xiu, Huang Zu, Li Yan, Huang Zu Xu, Liu Pan and other generals are hunchbacked, with extraordinary momentum and majesty.

Liu Qi put away his folding fan with a "snap", stood up, took two steps, and said, "Now our [-] Jingzhou army has arrived. The first batch of grain and grass has also arrived in Guiyang by water and land. It can be used by our army." After two months, the first phase of the war can begin. Next, Shi Yuan will tell you about the battle plan.”

When talking about business, Pang Tong put away his usual cynical expression of joking and joking, and his dark face showed a bit of seriousness, and his eyes were even more energetic, exuding a confident light.Pointing to several important places on the map, he said: "The two counties of Cangwu and Yulin are occupied by my clan from Jingzhou. My lord also sent people to contact me within two months, promising to be promoted and conferred titles. They all expressed their support for my lord in this battle. Nanhai County is occupied by Shi Xie's younger brother, Shi Wu, who has a force of [-] troops, if it is temporarily recruited, with the influence of the gentry, at least [-] strong men can be recruited."

Pang Tong paused, then continued: "Panyu City, where the Nanhai County Government is located, is six feet high and two feet wide. There are five thousand soldiers stationed inside, and the prefects and soldiers. Everyone is as brave as their name, but they are not resourceful; Zhongsu, The five cities of Sihui, Boluo, Longchuan, and Jieyang each have 1000 troops, and the guards in the cities are all unnamed generals, so there is nothing to worry about."

"Okay, in this battle, I intend to set Jiaozhou in one battle, and pull out the influence of the gentry for decades. So that Jiaozhou can become my stable rear. Therefore, I want to attack one city at a time, and I will execute every city I occupy. The laws of Jingzhou and the information on the land of the registered population make it a piece of land for me, Liu Qi." Liu Qi clenched his fists, his piercing eyes full of desire.

"I ordered the army to start from two routes. The land route..." Liu Qi deliberately paused, with a smile on his lips, and looked around, looking at the generals who were nervous and pretending to be calm, but their eyes showed eagerness.Liu Qi nodded in satisfaction, and finally his eyes fell on a person, although this person was among the generals, he exuded a literati temperament.It is Li Yan and Li Fangzheng who are both civil and military. Li Yan's deeds are not recorded in the history of the Three Kingdoms, and there are still many negative deeds, but they cannot conceal his talent.

According to historical records, during Liu Bei's capture of Yizhou, Li Yan fought the general Huang Zhong for [-] rounds without losing the wind.In terms of talent, it can be reflected by two things: one is that Liu Bei entrusted the orphans to two people at the end of his life, one was the prime minister Zhuge Liang, and the other was the minister Li Yan; Li Yan was stationed in Jiangzhou, saying that this person could be Lu Xun, which is evident.

At this time, Li Yan was in his youth, eager to make contributions and become a marquis and general.Liu Qi asked him to farm, and he worked hard and dared not slack off in the slightest.Now that the lord of the Great War summoned him to come, it was time for him to make unworldly military exploits!

"Li Yan!" Liu Qi shouted when his eyes finally fell on Li Yan.

"The last general is here!" Li Yan stepped out excitedly, clasping his fists.

"I ordered: Li Yan led [-] soldiers in the field as the vanguard of the army, and Huang Xu led [-] cavalry as the lieutenant general. Starting from Lian County, they attacked Zhongsu, Sihui and two cities. In terms of water, the general Huang Zu led a water army of [-] Attack and support Li Yan. The army must set off immediately without any mistakes."

"Promise." Li Yan, Huang Zu, and Huang Xu agreed.

Liu Qi looked at the two of them and said, "I hope that when the army marches to Panyu, you have already conquered these two cities and stationed outside the city. If you come first with the army, the task of attacking Panyu is yours; ri, not only do you not need to attack, but you don’t even have the original credit!!!” Ling Zhu Jiang Wan wrote the appointment document and handed it over to Hufu Military Order.

"The final general will definitely fall into battle and attack the city, and live up to my lord's expectations." Li Yan shouted, his voice shaking the sky, like a fierce tiger.

Liu Qi laughed out loud, he just liked the unyielding and brave fighting spirit of his subordinates.

Li Yan took the documents, tiger charms and military orders and went directly to the camp with Huang Xu and Huang Zu to lead the troops.The vanguard army did not stop and set off immediately.

Half a day later, Liu Qi also led the army to set off together, first passing through Hanrun by water, Ganyang directly to Panyu, although it was a bit far away.But greatly save manpower and animal power.

The flowers bloomed one by one, Li Yan was in the vanguard of the army this time, and his mood was quite agitated.Seeing the achievements of other generals, Li Yan was also itchy in his heart.Along the way, I talked non-stop with Lieutenant General Huang Xu.

Guiyang is only a hundred miles away from Zhongsu, and it can be reached in two days.Although Li Yan was excited, he acted very prudently, otherwise Liu Qi would not treat him differently.Marching steadily, after arriving at Zhongsu City, before the guards could react, they ordered the [-] army to divide into four battalions, and attack from east to west, from north to south.Li Yan marched with drums in person, Zhang Xiu led the cavalry to supervise the battle, and those who dared to retreat would be killed without mercy, and the army was awe-inspiring.

There were only a thousand defenders in the city, although the Jiaozhou defender had heard the news that Liu Qi from Jingzhou had led an army to invade the country.But he didn't pay much attention to the natural dangers of rivers and mountains.As a result, Li Yan led the army to attack in a hurry, and only collected [-] strong men for a long time.No effort was made, but it was captured by Li Yan in half a day.He also beheaded the guard Shishan.

The captain of the cavalry, Huang Xu, looked bored, the enemy's strength was too weak, and he didn't even get any credit for it.Li Yan simply dealt with the things in the city and the captives, and sent someone to report the victory to Guiyang, so that he could manage it.

Seeing that the city was unprepared, Li Yan discussed with Huang Xu and led three thousand cavalry to attack Sihui City before the news of Zhongsu City's destruction spread.Huang Xu hit it off right away, and Li Yan and Li Yan led the cavalry to Sihui City within half a day. The city gate was opened, and the defenders didn't know it.Li Yan took the opportunity to attack the city, shot an arrow and overturned the defenders who came to fight, and the rest surrendered.

Li Yan only went down to two cities in three days without losing hundreds of infantry, and even less cavalry.
