Crossing the Battle of the Three Kingdoms

The postmaster received the letter, hurried to a remote room, knocked on the door and said, "There is an urgent battle report, please send it to You Beiping."

A corner of the door opened, and a plain-looking man in his forties stuck his head out, with an ugly smile on his face, and nodded to accept the battle report.

The postmaster covered his nose, trying to block the smell of animal feces on the man, and quickly said: "This battle report is urgent, please send it quickly."

"Ahhh." The man murmured a few words, patted his chest to show that he knew, and reassured the postmaster.

"Okay, then hurry up." Seeing this, the postmaster nodded and hurried away. The smell on the man's body was very strong, and it was hard to breathe after staying for a while.

This is normal, since they were recruited by Li Quan, they have been training and raising pigeons for more than five years.

At first Li Huiyi felt that the transmission of messages was too slow, so he ordered Li Quan to train pigeons to deliver messages. He thought it would be easy, but he didn't expect that this animal was no better than a human.

It has to stay in one place for a long time before it can get familiar with the environment, otherwise, if it is cultivated for several months and released, as long as the distance is too long, they will get lost and cannot return.

Therefore, Li Huiyi has not used it for a long time, just waiting for these pigeons to mature and fly back from various places, so as to ensure that there will be no accidents during the war.

Most of these pigeon breeders are deaf and dumb, living in poverty and unable to make ends meet.

Li Quan found them and gave them a certain test. Then he arranged positions for them, let them learn to write, and paid them monthly salaries, which was considered a way of life for them.

The man closed the door, opened the battle report and put it on the table, picked up a pen and ink, and began to compare it with it, copying it down word by word, and every time he finished writing a sheet, he would carefully check it several times to confirm that there was no source, because he didn't know these things. word meaning.

There were only a few dozen words on it, and the man wrote ten letters, about an hour passed, then picked up the papers, opened the back door, and entered a messy courtyard.

Although there wasn't much pigeon droppings in the yard, the smell was still very pungent, but the man didn't seem to smell it, and kept walking.

After walking a few steps, several large wooden cages appeared in front of me. Thousands of pigeons were locked in the wooden cages, with place names written on them. It seemed that they were cleaned every day. Although there was an odor, there was no dirt.

The men took out three pigeons in order, stuffed the paper strips into the bamboo tubes on the pigeons' feet, and let them fly.

In the end, two of them were carefully selected from Youbeiping's wooden cage, stuffed into paper and released, and watched the pigeons go away. The man picked up a side of food and sprinkled it into the wooden cage, watching the pigeons vying for food, with a satisfied smile on his face.

There was a message from Feige, and Li Huiyi received the news quickly. After learning about Er Yuan and Cao Cao's big move, he immediately called Jia Xu to stay behind to discuss countermeasures.

Li Huiyi had thought of this, but what he didn't expect was that Cao Cao could persuade the various forces in Xiliang to send troops. The more than [-] troops in Xiliang should not be underestimated.

If it is not done well, the entire game of chess will be disrupted. If the battle is not successful, then if you want to launch it again, you will have to wait for several years.

If the losses are heavy, they may still fall into a passive position. It may be like Cao Cao after Chibi, and he will not be able to enter the Central Plains again in his lifetime.

After closing the door, Li Huiyi couldn't wait to say: "Wenhe, Xiliang sent 20 troops. Ma Chao, Han Sui, and Qiang all sent troops. I'm afraid Cao Cao's situation will fall into a passive position."

Jia Xu was originally from Xiliang, so when he heard that Xiliang sent troops, he was also curious, but he also knew how much troops Xiliang could bring out.

Jia Xu replied: "My lord, Xiliang is sparsely populated. Even if the Qiang people are included, it is impossible to send 20 troops, unless they don't want Xiliang."

Ma Chao, Han Sui and others, even if they obeyed Cao Cao's orders, they couldn't make a single bet. They must keep soldiers and horses guarding them. Otherwise, even if they won, they would be homeless. Anyone who is a normal person can think of this .

When Li Huiyi heard the news, he was also shocked for a moment, so he forgot to think about it. At this time, when Jia Xu said it, he understood in his heart.

After thinking for a while, Li Huiyi said: "Even if there are not so many, there must still be 5. For this [-], [-] horses are needed to deal with it, otherwise there is only passive defense."

Originally Li Huiyi had less than [-] soldiers gathered in Yecheng. If he was facing Cao Cao, he would definitely have an advantage, but this sudden increase of more than [-] soldiers can only be said to be passive. Cao Cao will seize the opportunity to surround him.

At that time, Cao Cao will come to a siege point to help, I am afraid that the battle will fall into a stalemate. The two sides are fighting a war of attrition, and Li Huiyi will undoubtedly lose, because the number is not superior.

In addition, most of the cavalry in Xiliang came and went like the wind. Even if Li Huiyi's soldiers were elite, they could not face the cavalry charge. The ancient cavalry was like a god of death.

Jia Xu frowned and thought about it, and said slowly: "To untie the bell, you need someone to tie it. My lord, why don't you send people to the Qiang people and let them send troops to attack Han Sui, Ma Chao and others."

"Huh?" Li Huiyi's heart moved. If he could really convince him, the Xiliang army would lose all fighting spirit. He was worried that his family wanted to return, but the Qiang people had already agreed to Cao Cao. Can this convince them?

Li Huiyi tentatively asked: "I'm afraid the Qiang people will not be easily persuaded. After all, they are far away from the north. They would not be able to threaten them or give them real benefits."

Jia Xu cupped his hands and said, "If my lord believes it, you can ask Xu to go there, and this matter will surely succeed."

Ever since Jia Xu came to the north, Li Huiyi has not released him. After all, this person is thoughtful and vicious, and it is difficult to guess.

Now that a big battle is coming, Li Huiyi is still at a disadvantage, if Jia Xu leaves to seek refuge with others, it will only make things worse.

Seeing Li Huiyi's hesitation, Jia Xu knew what he meant, and said, "Xu needs to ask the lord for the Eighteen Horsemen of Yanyun, and use them to frighten the Qiang people and protect their own safety."

Jia Xu's move had two purposes, one was to reassure Li Huiyi, since it would not be so easy for him to escape with Yanyun's Eighteen Riders following him.

Chapter 575 Confrontation

The second is to use the force of Yanyun's Eighteen Cavalry to make the Qiang people have no desire to resist. When Jia Xu elaborates on his interests, he will surely succeed.

Sure enough, when Li Huiyi heard Jia Xu's request, a smile appeared on his face on the spot, and he said, "Okay, then I will have Lao Wenhe to come. Yanyun Eighteen Riders will arrive soon, so you should tidy up first."

As long as Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry has no mission, Li Huiyi has been released to the foreign rule in the north. The purpose is to frighten them, and the name is to help stabilize the law and order.

Li Huiyi's family is the only one, and the foreign race in the north has no right to speak. As long as it is not too much, they will agree, which is exactly the way of thinking.

Let Li Huiyi's blunt knife cut flesh into Sinicization, and the experience will be so smooth. I am afraid that after the unification, these alien races will become part of the Han people, and at the speed of Yanyun's eighteen riders, it will only take three to five days to rush back.

Jia Xu replied: "Xu is on call at any time. I have nothing to tidy up. Anyway, I will go back when I go, and it will not be a few days."

"Yes." Li Huiyi nodded and said, "Then Wenhe, tell me how our army should face the upcoming battle."

Jia Xu thought for a while and said: "Qingzhou remains unchanged, Er Yuan takes the initiative to attack, our army can also take advantage."

"As for Cao Cao's place, you can suspend the advance and defend according to the pass. If necessary, you can also give up some, wait for the Xiliang army to change, and then attack."

Waiting for change is indeed the only option right now, but it may be difficult to defend against the attack of hundreds of thousands of troops.

Li Huiyi thought for a while, and suddenly thought of a person, maybe he can hold on, even if he can't hold on, he can hold on for a few days longer than others.

Li Huiyi agreed and said: "It seems that this is the only option. The army is not in place yet. It's time for them to move ahead. Otherwise, when Xiliang soldiers arrive, I'm afraid there will be a war."

Jia Xu echoed: "My lord is wise, there is no room for recovery at this time. As soon as the Xiliang army arrives, Cao Cao will definitely go to war. Otherwise, the hundreds of thousands of soldiers will chew their horses and swallow their horses, and the expenses will not be affordable for him."

After some discussion, the two concluded that this battle was inevitable, and each made some suggestions before leaving to make preparations, and an order was transmitted to the front line.

In fact, without Li Huiyi's arrangements, the main generals at the front line immediately changed their strategy when they heard the news and stopped advancing.

At the intersection of Qing and Xu, the armies of the two sides were fifty miles away, and the spies from each side had already been fought, and both sides had some losses.

When the news was sent back to their main generals, both sides stopped immediately. Neither side knew how many troops the other side had at present, so they dared not venture forward for fear of being damaged.

After setting up the camp, after several waves of spies confronted each other, both sides had some understanding, knowing that the strength of the two sides was comparable, Yuan Jun decided to send troops to test it out.

This time, Yuan Jun's coaches are Ji Ling, Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang. They are all veterans of the battlefield. Naturally, they look down on these unknown people.

Although they didn't like it, the three of them would not underestimate them. Li Huiyi must have something special about being able to use them.

The three of them told their subordinates to take strict precautions against the camp, mobilized five thousand soldiers and horses, and rushed towards Zhu Da's camp in a mighty manner.
