The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Zang Ba didn't know that it was Yuan Shao who came, but he only knew that they were riding cavalry and carrying their respective banners, so he thought these people were from Karasuma.

But I also find it strange, after all, most of the people in Karasuma just want to rob when they lack food in winter. It’s not long since spring has just started, and it’s not yet summer, and they are busy with spring plowing, even if they come to rob food. Nothing?

"It should be from Karasuma, but not all of them are from Karasuma. In my opinion, there are some people who may be from Yuan Shao!"

"Yuan Shao! Isn't that the person my lord helped before!"

After Guan Hai and Chu Yan heard the news, they were obviously surprised.

They knew very well that Liu Zheng had set up a trading point here in Donglai County, sending grain to Liaodong in the north all the year round to buy war horses.

The biggest buyer among them was Yuan Shao.

If Yuan Shao betrayed Liu Zheng and sent troops to attack Qingzhou at this time, they would really have something to say.

But obviously they can also understand that there are no permanent friends in this world, only permanent interests.Perhaps it was because Yuan Shao didn't want to come to Liu Zheng to buy food all the time, wouldn't it be better to send troops to grab it directly.

So although Yuan Shao's attack was just a surprise, they could also understand that such a thing is possible.

"How many people are there?"

Chu Yan was not that surprised. Although he was a little surprised at the beginning, he immediately came to his senses and asked Zang Ba more critical questions.

He even wanted to know who was attacking Qingzhou this time and how many troops he had.They need to understand each other's situation, and then they can know themselves and the enemy and find ways to deal with them.

"I don't know the exact number, but there were only about 2 people who attacked Le'an County before, and some of them were very brave. The two cities are now less than half a day away from my city of Linzi, and I asked you to come here because I want you to help me resist!"

Not long ago, Zang Ba received news that some people were attacking from Jizhou, so he immediately sent his bandits to support the front line.

Originally, Zang Ba only had some county soldiers and more than 1 bandits in the headquarters. Although he also recruited some bandits later, it never reached 2.

But this time, in order to support the front line and resist the attack of those people, as a result, more than half of the small bandit army under his command was directly lost, and only a thousand people fled back to Linzi City with him.

Fortunately, at this time, Guan Hai and Chu Yan came with some [-] yellow scarf troops. Now there are [-] troops in Linzi City, so they are not without confidence.

"Okay, Brother Zang Ba, you should take a good rest first, and then we will leave it to our brothers. I will definitely take over this Linzi city for you. A few days ago, I also received news from the military division Xu You, saying that the military division is bringing people to Qingzhou Preside over the overall situation. Presumably we only need to stay here for a while, and the Lord will receive news, and we will definitely bring people to help at that time!"

Chu Yan wanted to appease Zang Ba. After all, Zang Ba, Chu Yan and others were not Liu Zheng's cronies, and they were not trusted by Liu Zheng at this time, so they didn't know a lot of news. Some news came to them.

The news that Xu You led five thousand sailors here to assist them in defense also reached Chu Yan not long ago.

It is precisely because of knowing this news that Chu Yan is so calm and has no fear of the coming enemy.

Chapter 679 Yuan Shao's Vanguard Army

However, it was obvious that Chu Yan, Guan Hai and others underestimated Yuan Shao's army.

After all, in the early late Han Dynasty, the person most capable of unifying the Three Kingdoms was Yuan Shao.

He wants people, soldiers and soldiers. Now that he unites those Karasuma people, he is stronger than Yuan Shao in history. Except that he does not have four counties in his territory, Yuan Shao is the most capable to contend with the imperial court. one already.

Two hours later, outside Linzi city.

The [-] troops led by Ju Yi and Gao Lan have already appeared here.

Of the [-] troops, most of them were Karasuma cavalry. Although they were Karasuma cavalry, a large part of the troops were Han Chinese recruited by Gao Lan himself and trained as his own cavalry.

These people, who have integrated the Han people and 5 people, are easier to command.

"General Gao Lan, our flag has won and we have captured Le'an County. Now we only need to break through Linzi City, which is the seat of Qi County. Most of Qingzhou will be in my hands."

As the counselor of the vanguard army this time, Guo Tu is obviously a little proud.

The reason why Yuan Shao suddenly attacked Liu Zheng this time was naturally because of Guo Tu's instigation.

Gao Lan is one of Yuan Shao's generals, with him taking action, it is easy to capture the city, especially at this time, Gao Lan has already captured a state and county in Qingzhou. It is a time when he is proud, and Guo Tu is on the side After taking a few pictures of the horse, Gao Lan became even more proud.

"Mr. Guo Tu, thanks to your strategy, we can take down several cities in a short period of time. When Linzi City is captured, the Lord's follow-up army should be almost here. When the time comes, the army will sweep Qingzhou, and even In half a month, we captured Qingzhou, and even went south to capture Xuzhou."

The cooperation between Yuan Shao and Lu Zhi is that he led the troops to attack Qingzhou, restrained some of Liu Zheng's troops, and then the people of the imperial court went south from Yanzhou. As for whether the imperial court attacked Xuzhou or Yangzhou, that was not what Yuan Shao should think about. .

"Hmph, let Liu Zheng despise me when I was on a mission last time, and I will make him pay the price this time."

The reason why Guo Tu was so obsessed with letting Yuan Shao's men attack Qingzhou was, of course, because Liu Zheng's contempt for Guo Tu last time made Guo Tu feel insulted when he was in Wujun, so Guo Tu wanted Liu Zheng to attack Qingzhou. Fight for destruction.

In addition, Liu Zheng did go too far with the plague this time, and he has offended many people, not only selling food to Yuan Shao and others at a high price.

This made Yuan Shao more and more afraid of Liu Zheng. When the plague was rampant, Yuan Shao had to rely on Liu Zheng, so it was not easy to turn his face directly.

Now that the plague has passed, and with the end of spring plowing, Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses have also recovered, which makes Yuan Shao have to do something.

Just at this time, Lu Zhi, Liu Zheng and others also became more and more afraid of Liu Zheng because of Liu Zheng's affairs, so Yuan Shao found an opportunity to rest with Lu Zhi.

"Mr. Guo Tu, I'm afraid Linzi City will not be so easy to fight. In the previous Le'an County, we caught the opponent by surprise. The cavalry captured Le'an County in a short period of time before they had time to react. Now that the other party has reacted, there are already a lot of soldiers in Linzi city, and it will be difficult to take down Linzi city quickly."

Although he already had some advantages before, Ju Yi didn't feel that people like himself could easily take down Linzi City.

The height of the city of Linzi is not comparable to those that were attacked before.

The city tower of Linzi City alone is as tall as two feet long, a full six or seven meters high. Looking down from the tower, it takes a long ladder to go up the tower.

Even if it is Ju Yi's first climber, it is not easy to climb up. If they attack by force, they will definitely suffer serious casualties.

Although the Xiandeng soldiers under him did not suffer much casualties in the previous battles, it would not be acceptable to Ju Yi if they lost all casualties in the battle against Linzi City.

"General Ju Yi, how can you attack Linzi City?"

"The high walls of Linzi city are not a good choice for a strong attack. Besides, you and I have mostly cavalry, and cavalry are not good at attacking the city. In my opinion, we might as well change our course and deliberately not attack this city of Linzi."

"Oh?"

Ju Yi's words caught Gao Lan's attention.

"The people under me just went to test it out. There are at least 2 people stationed in this city. In addition to the people who were captured when we came here, after asking, we know that the people stationed in Beihai , has come from Beihai."

"Now we know that there are at least tens of thousands of troops in the city of Linzi. If it's just a vanguard army, we should wipe out these little people first and make way for the Lord's army. This big fish will have to wait for the Lord's army to attack in person. Better."

Ju Yi does not recommend directly attacking Linzi City, no matter considering various factors, it will not be beneficial for them to attack Linzi City, they will only lose soldiers and horses.

It would be better to just give up Linzi city and attack other places.

That way, before Yuan Shao's main army arrived, they had recovered the entire Qingzhou, leaving only the city of Linzi.

Even if the people in Linzi City realize something is wrong and want to go out of the city to fight Ju Yi and the others, they will still be in the wild.

It's okay to arrive, Gao Lan's cavalry has become a big killer. Facing these Qingzhou troops, it is a massacre.

Ju Yi's opinion was immediately agreed by Gao Lan.

"Wonderful, with this method, we can indeed avoid these people and occupy Qingzhou in a short time. At that time, when Liu Zheng reacts, we have already pacified Qingzhou. Even if he is furious, he can only If you can be dumb and eat Coptis chinensis, you can swallow it yourself."

Gao Lan immediately understood Ju Yi's intention, and immediately agreed with Ju Yi's statement.

But Guo Tu, the pig teammate on the side, immediately became unhappy.

"no!"

As soon as Guo Tu said this sentence, Ju Yi and Gao Lan were taken aback immediately, and they immediately looked at Guo Tu, wanting to hear Guo Tu say something.

"Two generals, if we don't attack Linzi City, won't the role of our vanguard be gone?"

"Well, what?"

"Do the two generals want to take down Linzi City and wait for the lord to reward you, or do you want to wait here for the lord to come, and then give the credit to the people behind, then we will take down Linzi City, and then before the lord's men arrive, we will go Occupying the entire Qingzhou directly, you said such a big credit, don't you want it?"

Chapter 6: Pig Teammate Guo Tu

The reason why Guo Tu said that was purely a pig teammate, thinking of a crooked move.

According to what Ju Yi and Gao Lan said, their final result, even if they can't take down Linzi City, they can definitely take Qingzhou down steadily.Although in the end the biggest credit was not obtained, but assisting Yuan Shao to conquer Qingzhou was also a big credit.Don't ask for meritorious service, but ask for no faults.

However, Guo Tu's remark was purely for merit, let Gao Lan and Ju Yi attack Linzi City, and wanted Gao Lan and Ju Yi to take the main credit for the attack on Qingzhou, so that the two of them would become famous under Yuan Shao's account .

The likely result of this is that Gao Lan and Ju Yi were unable to attack for a long time. Not only did they fail to help Yuan Shao take Qingzhou City, but they also lost the 2 troops of the Vanguard Army in Linzi City.

Although Gao Lan and Ju Yi heard Guo Tu's words, they didn't seem to support Guo Tu's statement.

But Guo Tu was sent by Yuan Shao to the barracks to supervise the army after all.

Gao Lan and Ju Yi didn't dare to directly deny Guo Tu's words. After all, they also knew Guo Tu's character very well.

Once Guo Tu is offended, Guo Tu will definitely give them small shoes to wear.

After all, Guo Tu is quite trusted by Yuan Shao's side, even more favored by Yuan Shao than Tian Feng and Ju Shou, the two heavyweight advisers under Yuan Shao.

Because Tian Feng and Ju Shou are upright and straightforward, but they beat around the bush, and they will speak out directly if they have something to say, knowing that they will offend Yuan Shao, they will also say it.

But Guo Tu can't, Guo Tu can only flatter horses, coaxing Yuan Shao very happy, people like Guo Tu, although they don't have much skills, but with a powerful mouth, they can still get along with Yuan Shao raw water.

Throughout the ages, courtiers like Guo Tu have not been in the minority.

"Military division, but there are [-] enemy troops in Linzi City, if we attack by force, I'm afraid it will not be easy."

Ju Yi naturally understood that what Guo Tu said was not easy to implement, so he wanted to persuade him tactfully.

Unexpectedly, Guo Tu immediately refuted.

"What are you afraid of? There are two generals here. A mere [-] Yellow Turban remnants and bandits are mobs. How can these people be the opponents of the two generals? If the two generals can't even beat some remnants of the Yellow Turbans and bandits , I really need to talk to the lord about the talents of the two generals."

Guo Tu can't do tricks, but his ability to slander people is not bad at all.

As soon as he said such a sentence, he immediately let Ju Yi say it, and almost didn't bring it up.

This aggressive method was short of Ju Yi, who issued a military order with Guo Tu on the spot, and immediately led people to attack the city.

The tens of thousands of garrisons here in Qingzhou, Yuan Shao has already found out clearly that they are all bandits from Mount Tai and remnants of some good Yellow Turban soldiers in Qingzhou.

If the elite led by Gao Lan and Ju Yi can't even defeat these people, it will indeed appear a little incompetent.

Gao Lan and Ju Yi, who were still considering whether to make more achievements, were told by Guo Tu at this time that they could only give up their previous plan and dare not continue to say more.

Going on, I'm afraid I won't get the credit for it, and Guo Tu will have to read a book, saying that they are incompetent, and they can't even beat some remnants of the Yellow Turbans and bandits.

In the end, Ju Yi and Gao Lan had no choice but to stand still and continue Chen Bing's confrontation with the Yellow Turban Army in Linzi City.

When you find the opportunity, start the siege battle.

Linzi City, towers.

Guan Hai and Chu Yan had already arrived here, and the Yellow Turban Army under them had also taken over the defensive measures in the city, and the bandit soldiers belonging to Zang Ba had already gone down to rest.

Looking at the [-] troops under the city, Guan Hai and Chu Yan were secretly glad.

Fortunately, they were defending the city, and there were [-] cavalry in a black mass. The situation where the horses were deployed in batches had already caused a great impact on the screen.

Guan Hai and Chu Yan probably had never seen so many cavalry in their entire life, let alone fighting each other.

If they were fighting the opponent on the plain, the [-] to [-] soldiers and horses under their command were not enough for the opponent's two back and forth attacks.

Fortunately, it is now a defensive battle. In terms of defense, the city walls are strong, and the cavalry are not good at attacking the city. They still have the ability to fight the opponent.

Woo woo

The bullhorn sounded, and the cavalry rushed and started to move, and soon came to the city, but they did not directly launch an impact on the tower.

Ju Yi and Gao Lan didn't stay outside the city for long. Under Guo Tu's instigation, they soon led an army of [-] to attack the city.

Of course, even though it was a siege, they couldn't do anything foolish, so they decided to say hello to the people on the tower first.

See if you can persuade to surrender directly.

If the soldiers and horses in this city can be persuaded to surrender, it will also reduce some unnecessary troubles for them.

Gao Lan, as the general, stepped out of the cavalry.

Shouting loudly towards the tower.

"Listen up, people inside, I am Gao Lan, General Yuan Shao's tent!"

"Now I am ordered to attack Qingzhou. I think you are all fools who were bewitched by Liu Zheng. I don't want to kill people. If you surrender now, we will absolve you of the crime. Otherwise, when we break through the city, it will be you The day of death!"

The so-called persuasion to surrender is nothing more than taking advantage of the advantages already occupied by one's own side and starting to intimidate the soldiers in the city. Although it may not be able to directly persuade the enemy troops in the city to surrender, it can also spread the panic information to Linzi City, so as to prepare for Gao Lan's next attack. Bring some advantages.

On the tower, Guan Hai and Chu Yan smiled at each other when they heard Gao Lan's words.

"His grandma, these bastards really want us to surrender. They really don't know how to live or die. They attack the city directly if they have the ability. If they want to rely on these cavalry to take down our Linzi city, are they looking down on us?"

Guan Hai didn't have any etiquette, and they were swearing when they spoke, but they were also savages, so they were used to it.

Chu Yan beside him was relatively calm.

"Guan Hai, you bring 1 people to guard this place, and you must block the attack of these people. I guess they should only attack once at most. If they can't fight into the city, they will definitely retreat."

Chu Yan did not defend here with Guan Hai, because he wanted to distribute his forces at the four city gates. The cavalry outside the city were too mobile. All the troops are placed at a city gate.
