"According to the report from the messenger sent by Yao Zhao, there are only five or six hundred soldiers who fled back to Yuyang with him. The others either died in battle, fled or were captured!"

Zhang Xing was very angry: "This Yao Zhao, he clearly knew that the Youzhou Army had taken back the Kuangping Garrison, but he was careless during the march. He was really mad at me! Now it's all right, the originally good situation has completely happened now. After the change, we now have no advantage over the Youzhou Army!"

Qin Du thought for a while, and decided to say a few good words for Yao Zhao, "Commander, I don't think Yao Zhao can be completely blamed for this matter. After recapturing the Kuangping Garrison, we did not take a rest, and attacked Yuyang overnight. In fact, the general thought that this would not be a bad thing. If the Youzhou Army suddenly killed Yuyang and took advantage of our defenders' unpreparedness, we would fight against the city. If we can take back Yuyang, the main force of our army will be hit by the enemy!"

After being persuaded by Qin Du, Zhang Xing felt a little better. When he heard Qin Du talk about the internal and external cooperation, he suddenly felt his scalp explode. Yes, this Youzhou has been occupied by the Wei State for decades, and the people here have long been used to themselves. To be a Wei person, the people and gentry in Yuyang City must be pro-Wei. If the people, gentry, and Xianbei nobles in Yuyang City colluded with the Wei army to cooperate from inside to outside, relying on the less than [-] defenders in Yuyang City to defend live?

Zhang Xing walked back and forth in the handsome tent with his hands behind his back, with a look of deep thought.

Not long after, he stopped and gave an order to Qin Du: "Pass down the commander-in-chief's military order, give up peace and security, and the army will pull out the camp overnight and set off to return to Yuyang, hurry up!"

Chapter 470

The Yan army has 3000 troops, including [-] cavalry. It is impossible for such a large army to withdraw at night without making noise, and the cavalry scouts of the Wei army are not vegetarians, and they quickly noticed the changes of the Yan army.

After investigation, Wei Jun's reconnaissance cavalry sentry found that Yan Jun was retreating, and immediately sent someone to report to Zhao Junsheng.

Zhao Junsheng was woken up by Cao Jiao in his deep sleep, "General, the scout team has an urgent military report!"

"Let him in quickly!" Zhao Junsheng opened his eyes and stood up and ordered. Regarding military news, he never let others relay it.

A scout walked into the tooth tent and reported to him: "General, just half an hour ago, we detected that the Yan army outside Anle City was retreating in the direction of Yuyang urgently!"

"Oh? Are you sure you are retreating towards Yuyang instead of east or northeast?" Zhao Junsheng asked. He knew that Gao Xu's four thousand cavalry must have posed a huge threat to them when the Yan army retreated. The concern is whether Gao Xu has successfully attacked Yuyang.

It is night now, and Xinying can't deliver messages at night. If you want to get accurate information, you can only wait for dawn.

The scout replied: "It was retreating in the direction of Yuyang, there is absolutely no mistake!"

After hearing the news, Zhao Junsheng judged that Gao Xu must have failed. If Gao Xu had already taken back Yuyang, then the Yan army might not march towards Yuyang at this time, but would choose to retreat east or northeast. If you don't go, you will be attacked from both sides.

Zhao Junsheng pondered for a while and asked again: "What was the state of the Yan army when they retreated? Was it panic or orderly?"

This time the scout didn't answer immediately, but recalled the scene he saw when the Yan army retreated, and then said: "The Yan army moves quickly, but don't panic!"

Zhao Junsheng already knew what he wanted to know. He waved his hand to tell the scouts to go back and continue to investigate, and then said to Cao Jiao: "You go back and continue to be on duty. There is nothing to do tonight!"

In the early morning of the next day, the army completed the assembly after eating according to the original plan at Mao's time, and was ready to set off. Before Chen's time, they marched in the direction of Anle.

In summer, the days are long, and it will be dawn as soon as Maoshi arrives, so the soldiers get up early, eat early, and set off earlier.

Under Zhao Junsheng's order, the marching speed was maximized, and they arrived outside Anle City in less than half an hour. The officials of Anle City had already ordered people to hang a white flag on the top of the city. Open the door and surrender.

"The next official, Peng Shude, pays his respects to the envoy!" A county magistrate brought several subordinate officials, some minor officials, yamen servants and some common people to greet him outside Anle City.

Zhao Junsheng rode up to Peng Shude, looked him over, raised his hand and put the cold iron gun around his neck, which made him tremble, and when his knees softened, he knelt down on the ground and yelled like a pig: Please forgive me, please forgive me, there is nothing I can do about it, the lives of tens of thousands of people in the county are in the hands of the officials, if the officials don't surrender to the Yan army, they will wipe out all the people in the county! "

Hua Mulan rode up to Zhao Junsheng and looked at Peng Shude with disgust on her face, "It's just a piece of grass on the wall, and the wind blows on both sides of the bastard. It has no strength! Brother Junsheng, in my opinion, just chop it up and forget it. It's useless to keep it, and it may lead to a bad example!"

Zhao Junsheng smiled and said: "This is the strength and ability of these gentry. No matter how the dynasty changes, the gentry will always be the gentry. Some noble families have been passed down for thousands of years, but the dynasties have changed countless generations!"

So Wang, he asked Peng Shude: "Magistrate Peng, you must also be from a noble family, right? If you really pretended to be the people in your heart and surrendered to Yan to protect the people, I would really hate to kill you, but your true thoughts may not be Is that so? It’s because without the common people, you, an official, have nothing to exploit! No matter who is the emperor, you need your gentry to be officials. You can still exploit the common people, but without the common people, you can’t survive. because you have no blood to suck, do you?"

Peng Shude was trembling all over, and his body was in a cold sweat. Zhao Junsheng's words hit the nail on the head.

Dongfang Chen sighed: "Peng Shude, Peng Shu

Dude, it was in vain that your father gave you a good name, and you spoiled it! "

Zhao Junsheng gave an order with righteous words: "Peng Shude, the magistrate of Anle County, didn't think about defending the land and safe the people when the enemy army came to attack. Instead, he surrendered the city to the enemy. Unforgivable! Someone, take him down and put him in a prison, and choose a day to execute him!"

A few soldiers rushed up and dragged Uncle Peng away. Peng Shude was so frightened that he froze, struggled and shouted: "Master, please forgive me, I made a mistake, I know my mistake..."

The other county magistrates, petty officials and yamen servants were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and shouted: "Your envoy is wise, Peng Shude deserves death!"

Peng Shude was doomed anyway, how could this group of people dare to stand up and sing against Zhao Junsheng again?At this time, he just took advantage of Peng Shude's incident to show that he supported the position decided by Mr. Shijun.

"Let's go, enter the city! You will lead the way!"

"Yes, yes, please enter the city!" The officials stood up and retreated to the sides to let Zhao Junsheng enter the city first on horseback.

In the entire county, this county government office is probably the most luxurious and majestic. No other building can compare with it. This group of vampires really enjoy it.

Before he was seated, Li Bao walked in and reported: "General, news from Gao Xu has arrived!"

Hua Mulan immediately took the note and opened it to read it. After reading it, she said to Zhao Junsheng: "Brother Junsheng, Gao Xu said that his soldiers and horses are currently hiding in the mountains twenty miles northeast of Yuyang. Last night, I went to Yuyang At that time, they encountered soldiers and horses sent by Yuyang, and after the confrontation, they defeated the Yan army and killed more than [-] enemies, but they did not continue to pursue!"

After listening, Zhao Junsheng said: "No wonder the main force of the Yan army has to withdraw to Yuyang overnight! By the way, is there any news from the scouts that the Yan army has been sent to Yuyang?"

Li Bao said: "I haven't received the report from the scouts yet!"

Zhao Junsheng instructed: "Let them find out what Yan Jun did after returning to Yuyang as soon as possible, and then report quickly, let's go down!"

Li Bao cupped his fists, turned and left.

Scouts were easily exposed during daytime reconnaissance, so it was much more difficult. It was not until noon that the front scout team sent someone to report the criminal activities of the Yan army to Zhao Junsheng.

"You mean that the Yan Army built a camp outside Yuyang City?" Zhao Junsheng asked after listening to the scout's report.

"Yes, General! The camp they built is tall and strong, and they used a lot of wood!"

Hua Mulan was a little puzzled by the actions of the Yan army. "The Yan army has more than [-]% cavalry. They only need a small amount of infantry. Why did they build camps? Isn't it a waste of cavalry to defend? Besides, Zhang Xing's behavior is not good. Aren't you giving up your strengths?"

Zhao Junsheng stroked the short beard on his chin, shook his head and said, "Zhang Xing didn't give up his strengths, they were setting up a battlefield! Think about it, we can't let them occupy Yuyang all the time, we must take the initiative to attack , and the Yan army has a vast space and plains in front of it, and the cavalry can exert their maximum combat power when they come and go. Fight!"

Hua Mulan said: "We can't be led by the nose by Zhang Xing, otherwise we will definitely lose!"

Zhao Junsheng turned his head to look at Hua Mulan, and asked with a smile, "What do you think we should do now?"

Hua Mulan thought for a while, and said: "The Yan army has not captured Yuyang County for a long time, and they only captured the towns in the past few days. To get food and grass supplies, we must also cut off the Yan army’s supply line, once the Yan army sends people to collect grain from the people in the countryside, we will dispatch soldiers and horses to intercept and kill them, in short, we will not let them get a grain of food!”

"Second, send people to attack the border pass captured by the Yan army, cut off the Yan army's reinforcements, and let this Yan army become a lone army!"

"Third, send people to spread the news that the imperial court has sent [-] troops to Youzhou!"

Zhao Junsheng nodded after listening: "Yes, they are all good ideas, but to implement them, careful arrangements are needed. Whether it is sending troops to attack border passes or spreading news, it must be done perfectly.

Seamless, if Zhang Xing and his generals believe it, they will be in a hurry! "

Hua Mulan immediately said, "I'm here to cut off the Yan army's supply line. How about you send people to fortify the walls and clear the fields, spread the news, and send troops to pretend to attack the border pass?"

"When a husband and wife are of the same heart, their benefits can cut through gold!" Zhao Junsheng stretched out his palm after finishing speaking.

"Virtue!" Hua Mulan rolled his eyes at him, but still reached out and held Zhao Junsheng together.

Zhao Junsheng said: "Before making these arrangements, we have to disappear from Anle!"

Hua Mulan felt that what Zhao Junsheng said made sense. If they didn't get news from An Le, Yan Jun's scouts would know their movements at any time, and their plans would be useless. These deployments can play a confusing role.
