Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty

Chapter 33 Leaning on the Horn

Wu De shook his head: I don't know, but Jinan City is an important town, I'm afraid there are siege vehicles and armored helmets in the arsenal in the city, if the thief gets these equipment, I'm afraid it will be bad for Licheng sooner or later.

Although there are many Yellow Turban thieves, they have been repeatedly defeated by Liu Ye. The main reason is that they have suffered from equipment losses. Among the Yellow Turban thieves, not one of them can wear leather armor. Most of them are wearing single clothes. If Jinan City is captured, If you take all the weapons in the city, you will be in big trouble.

Liu Ye frowned and thought hard. Seeing this, Yu Jin next to him thought a little and said loudly, General Liu, I have a plan, which may solve the current predicament.

Liu Ye was overjoyed: The plan will be released?

With a smile on his face, Yu Jin talked eloquently: There is no danger on all sides of Licheng. If thieves come, they will be surrounded on all sides, making Licheng impenetrable. It is better to build a military village a few miles outside the city. At that time, the city and the military village will become horns of each other. If a bandit attacks a city, you can attack it from the army stronghold; if a bandit attacks a stronghold, you can send troops to attack it from the city, so that the bandits can't see each other from head to tail.

Wu De interjected and said, What if the bandits divide up and surround them?

Yu Jin said confidently: The thieves are very powerful. If you divide your troops to surround them, they will be weak and can be defeated one by one.

When Cao Jun besieged Xiapi City, Chen Gong proposed to Lu Bu to build a military camp outside Xiapi City, using them as horns. It's a pity that Lu Bu was worried that Diao Chan's illness could not leave the city, so he was besieged by Cao's regiments, and died in Baimenlou before Yuan Shu's reinforcements arrived.

Yu Jin is a famous general of a generation. Although he has not yet grown to the point of history, his suggestions should be very practical, so Liu Ye waved his hand: Wu De, I will leave this matter to you. You will lead the residents of the city. Go out and build a military stronghold three miles away from the south gate, and it must be completed within ten days, this matter is related to the survival of Licheng, understand?

Wu De chuckled: Brother, just take a look at it, I guarantee that the yellow scarf thief will hit his head badly.

From this day onwards, the residents in the city were divided into two groups, each carrying out the tasks of spring plowing and building the military fortress, and Liu Ye had already told the residents in the city the news that Jinan City had been breached at an untimely time. Under the circumstances, everyone worked very hard, and the progress of the military village was very fast, and soon it had a small scale.

The people who came to Licheng were even more fortunate to come to Licheng. If they did not stay in Licheng, even if they ran to Jinan City, they would not be able to escape the fate of being destroyed and killed. , still be trapped in the city by tens of thousands of yellow turban thieves.

On the contrary, in this small city of Li, the yellow scarf thieves did not dare to set foot in the territory easily. Occasionally, a few small squads were wiped out by the cavalry patrolling around, and they became a mess in a short time. On the land of Qingzhou, Licheng really stands out.

But Liu Ye understood that this tranquility was only temporary, and the Yellow Turban Bandit was overwhelmed by his prestige of several battles, so he didn't dare to do anything. However, as many cities in Jinan were breached, the Yellow Turban bandits were getting more and more armed, and more and more people were enslaved by bandits, and sooner or later they would come to Licheng.

What's more, Zhou Jun and Pang Hun are nothing. The largest group of yellow scarves in Qingzhou, Qingzhou Canal Commander Xu He led tens of thousands of bandits to besiege Linzi for more than a month. If Xu He breaks Linzi City and annexes and integrates forces At that time, more than 100,000 bandit troops will come, even if Lu Bu is in Licheng, it will be useless.

Liu Ye gave Wu De ten days, but the people rushed to work, so the military camp was almost built two days in advance. After Liu Ye got the news, he took a dozen of his guards and rushed towards the military camp. After galloping for three miles, they arrived in a short while.

It's such a military stronghold, even if the bandits come and go.

There was only an army village standing on the ground, with the army flag flying in the middle of the village, eight arrow towers were built on four wooden walls, and the entrance of the village gate was narrow.

Seeing Liu Ye's arrival, the sergeant guarding the gate of the village came in to report, and after a while, a sergeant welcomed Liu Ye into the village. Although the time was short and rough, it was more than enough for defense.

Haha, brother Yu, I really convinced you today, no wonder my brother made you the head of the village, I think you are more than enough to be a general. Wu De and Yu Jin walked out slowly. Because of this, they lived and ate in the military village all the time, and the two communicated very earnestly, and they became good friends. Although Yu Jin came to join him at the beginning, Wu De had long admired him in his heart.

Wen Ze has achieved great success today, so I can rest easy in Licheng. Liu Ye laughed, and Yu Jin Wude hurried forward and saluted one after another.

Looking at this military stronghold that could accommodate thousands of defenders, Liu Ye had made a decision long ago, and immediately opened his mouth.

Wen Ze, someone ordered you to guard this army stronghold, are you willing to take on this important task?

Yu Jin was a little excited, but he said seriously: If a thief comes to attack, he should be rejected by the general.

Liu Ye smiled and patted Yu Jin on the shoulder to show his respect. Although Yu Jin has no obvious intention to join him, he believes that he has conquered the heart of one of the five sons of Cao Wei in the future. It is a pity that although he has a reputation, his position is too low. It seems that he will still give Yu Jin a title in the future. .

If Liu Ye was now a vassal, waving his hand and appointing Yu Jin as a general in charge, Yu Jin would have accepted his head and worshiped him long ago.

Now that the military village is built, the common people don't need it except for spring plowing, and Liu Ye already has a new idea about it.

Wen Ze, although our army has excellent soldiers and horses, there are very few people. There are only more than 1,300 people. The yellow turban bandits engulfed the people, and there are tens of thousands of them. I intend to select young and strong men from the city to expand the Licheng Army, what do you think?

A mere Zhou Jun casually pulled up an army of 30,000, Qingzhou Qushuai Xu He and Linzi had a lot more people, as cities were breached by Yellow Turban Thieves, the number of Yellow Turban Thieves would only increase by then It is certainly a good thing to pursue the policy of elite soldiers, after all, the consumption of food and grass is also small, but it is distressing to die.

Yu Jin nodded and said: What the general said is true. Now that the military camp is being built, the troops in Li City and the military camp must be divided in the future. At that time, the number of people will be stretched, and it is imperative to expand the army.

Liu Ye nodded, and after discussing with Yu Jin for a while, he returned to Li City and asked the scholars in the city to write a conscription order to encourage the young and able-bodied people in the city to join the army. In addition, Liu Ye also specifically stated that as long as those who actively join the army will be given one stone of food every month.

One stone in the Han Dynasty was twenty-seven catties today, and the ancients had two meals a day, one stone of grain a month, and it was absolutely no problem to eat enough.
