Three Kingdoms: Stealing the Tiger Talisman and forcing Yuan Shao to become a monk

Chapter 452 Li Yan Arrives!

"The guilty general Thunder Copper, please see me!"

"Sinner Yan Yan has seen Qi Hou, alas..."

Yan Yan followed Lei Tong, one in front of the other, and knelt down towards Yuan Tan in front of him, but before he knelt down, Yuan Tan had already stretched out his hands to support the two of them, and laughed: "General Lei, Yan Yan General, the two generals are willing to abandon the dark and turn to the bright, what is the crime? Please hurry up, please hurry up."

Yuan Tan certainly has reason to be happy.

Lei Tong and Yan Yan's rebellion was not just about the two of them, they also summoned [-] Yizhou Army elites from the [-] vanguard of the Yizhou Army, and joined Yuan Tan's banner.

In this way, I have a general to guard Yuzhou in the future, and even have soldiers and horses under the general's command, so I don't have to worry about it.

How could Yuan Tan be willing to punish such a general?

Seeing Yuan Tan like this, Lei Tong and Yan Yan felt a warm current in their hearts.

However, the surprise was still to come. After helping the two of them up, Yuan Tan immediately said: "General Lei Tong led the people to lead the righteous, it should be a marvel. , General Biao Lei Tong is a partial general, and General Yan Yan is a rebellious general. After that, he will stay in Yuzhou to guard against Cao Wei. I wonder what the two generals want?"

Hearing Yuan Tan's words, Lei Tong immediately showed a surprised expression.

General!
He, Lei Tong, was in Yizhou and worked diligently for Liu Zhang. After an unknown number of years, he finally got the official position of a school captain, and Liu Zhang was reluctant to do so.

He and Yan Yan are even more wary of him.

Now he has joined Yuan Tan's command. He has not yet made any achievements, but he has been awarded the position of general!

As for Yan Yan, he was quite excited when he suddenly heard that he had been named General of Rebellion.

The old general spent his whole life in the army and had been in charge of Ba County for more than thirty years. He was in charge of numerous generals under his command, but his true position was just that of a lieutenant general.

Unexpectedly, after coming to Yuan Tan's command, he was directly appointed as a general.

At that moment, Yan Yan and Lei Tong paid respects again, and said in a deep voice: "I thank Hou Qi for his kindness, and I am willing to die for Qi Hou!"

Yuan Tan smiled slightly, helped Yan Yan and Lei Tong up, and was about to signal them to go down and rest for two days.

Last night, Yizhou's army was on fire, and Yuan Tan's side had already made preparations. Seeing the fire in Yizhou's barracks, the Qiaojun army here immediately killed them.

Forty thousand Qiao County defenders and five thousand Tiefutu troops charged in a wave.

Except for the [-] Yizhou Army elites led by Lei Tong and Yan Yan, who escaped, only a few of the remaining Yizhou Army soldiers escaped, and most of the rest followed their leader Wu Ban. follow in the footsteps.

Next, Qiaojun should be able to be stable for a while.

As for the rest of Li Yan's department, in Yuan Tan's view, there was nothing to worry about.

It's time to think about how to deal with Cao Wei.

Cao Cao made such a big mess for himself, how could he let him go so easily?
However, at this moment, a scout cavalry team suddenly came from the south of Qiaojun City, and the cavalry captain at the head was the scout who was sent out by Yuan Tan not long ago to inquire about Li Yan's situation.

Seeing Yuan Tan who was talking to Yan Yan and Lei Tong on the city wall, he quickly rolled off his horse, ran quickly to the top of the city tower, knelt on one knee and cupped his fists and said, "Waiting! Urgent military situation! Yizhou Army Commander Li Yan has already Commanding [-] troops, traveling fifty li a day, it is estimated that they will arrive at the city of Qiaojun tomorrow!"

A hundred thousand troops, marching fifty miles?

Yuan Tan narrowed his eyes slightly, but he admired Li Yan's courage.

The larger the number of troops, the shorter the distance that can be traveled in a day, because not only the physical strength of the soldiers must be considered, but also the speed of the supply camp.

When the soldiers were on their way, it was definitely not possible to put on all the iron armor. They must have replaced the iron armor and only wore light leather armor.

After arriving at the target point, set up camp and re-equip.

Naturally, those pieces of iron armor that were taken off could not be placed on the grain transport team behind them. Instead, they were escorted by the baggage team that moved synchronously with the army.

The speed of these baggage trains is not as fast as that of the soldiers.

Therefore, traveling fifty miles quickly is already quite fast. It is very likely that after this wave of rapid travel, the horses of Li Yan's baggage team will need to be replaced again.

Other than that,

In ancient times, there was a line that was often mentioned in military combat, which was called "While the enemy's foothold is not stable, attack him before he is ready to kill him."

An unstable foothold not only means that the enemy's camp has not been set up yet, but also that the enemy's soldiers may not have put on their armor yet, so they can take advantage of this opportunity to attack the enemy.

You can get maximum damage.

As far as the report from the inspection horse was concerned, Li Yan should be less than a hundred miles away from Qiaojun City.

Under such circumstances, Li Yan dared to rush, making it clear that he was not afraid of sending troops suddenly to attack them while they were on their way.

That's why Yuan Tan admires Li Yan's courage.

Li Yan was betting that Yuan Tan had just fought a battle and had no energy to send out more troops to surprise his army!
In fact, Li Yan was indeed betting right.

But it's not that Yuan Tan really doesn't have a fresh army that can fight. If nothing else, after hearing the news of the arrival of Li Yan's army.

After Lei Tong and Yan Yan's expressions changed for a moment, they immediately clasped their fists together and said, "Let's wait! The last general invites you to fight!"

Yan Yan and Lei Tong clasped their fists at Yuan Tan almost in unison.

Yuan Tan looked at the two people asking for a fight. How could he not guess what they were thinking?

As generals, no matter how frank and serious they are, they will still feel uneasy. In this case, leading their own army to fight against the enemy, no matter whether they win or lose.

As long as the blood is shed for the new lord, everything will be easier to say.

Therefore, although Yan Yan and Lei Tong heard that Li Yan's army was coming, they were somewhat unwilling to fight against the old robe.

But now they are in a foreign land, not alone, but with [-] Yizhou Army soldiers.

They are not only responsible for their own future, but also responsible for the [-] brothers who obey them!
Therefore, Yan Yan and Lei Tong clasped their fists together and generously challenged them!

It's just that Yuan Tan is a real employer who doesn't hesitate to use people. Seeing the unbearable look in the eyes of the two, he can see through their inner thoughts at a glance, and immediately smiled slightly: "You two generals, why is this so? I am in the Xuzhou army. There is no need for these fusses, the two generals and the soldiers under their command had already fought a battle yesterday, and they are tired, so there is no need to fight any more today."

After finishing speaking, before Lei Tong and Yan Yan could speak again, Yuan Tan immediately turned around and ordered Xu Shu: "Yuan Zhi, send the order to have the four generals Che Zhou, Liu Yan, Han Hao, and Deng Ai guard the city gates in all directions. , be prepared to launch a fierce attack after Li Yan arrives at Qiaojun tomorrow."

Xu Shu laughed lightly when he heard the words, and immediately nodded with clasped fists: "Yes!"
