The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Thinking about it this way, I also feel a lot.

"What Mr. Yuan Xi said is true, then let's change our strategy and attack Zhongshan."

"Okay, since you have no objection, General Tadun, then let's attack Zhongshan."

"Well, although it is to attack Zhongshan, the territory of Hejian County cannot be abandoned, so as not to be killed by the enemy troops stationed in Qinghe. How about this, you and I will send a total of [-] troops to attack Qinghe, and the rest How about staying in Hejian and defending against Yuan Shang's attack?"

Yuan Xi originally wanted to let Tadun's troops stay in Hejian County, but Tadun would definitely not do it. The purpose of his coming to Jizhou was to rob food and grass, so why would he be willing to wait here.

So Tadun could only be sent to sweep Zhongshan, while Yuan Xi stayed behind in Hejian.

Ta Dun heard Yuan Xi's arrangement, but he didn't reject it at all.

"Okay, Mr. Yuan Xi, just wait here for my good news. When I loot all those people in Zhongshan, you will share all the robbed food and grass!"

Hearing that he was asked to go to Zhongshan to lead a robbery team, Ta Dun was very excited, how could he refuse.

"Then it's settled. In order to plunder the food and grass in Zhongshan as soon as possible, don't let those wealthy families run away. General Tadun, you should set off as soon as possible."

Yuan Xi urged Ta Dun, wanting Ta Dun to pass quickly.

In fact, in his heart, he also wanted to let Tadun pass by as soon as possible, and not let everyone in the Zhen family run away.

Chapter 36 Frontline

Tadun naturally won't stay in Hejian for too long, and plans to go to Zhongshan soon.

Before leaving, Yuan Xi deliberately said something too much.

"Hey, by the way, pay attention to the people of the Zhen family. The Zhen family is a big family in Hebei, a wealthy family. Don't kill the people of the Zhen family. Keep them alive. It will be of great use to us."

Yuan Xi told Ta Dun a word, but Ta Dun didn't know whether he heard it or not, after waving his hands, he quickly withdrew from the camp.

With a little movement on Yuan Xi's side, the Jin Yiwei who had been ambushing here before were able to quickly pass on the news.

Tadun's action is still very fast.

After all, he was going to Zhongshan to rob, so he could give it to anyone quickly.

What Ta Dun lacked most at this time was food and grass.

He ordered 1 soldiers and horses, of which 2 were Yuan Xi's infantry, and the other [-] were cavalry from various tribes of Karasuma.

Holding the scimitar, he rushed towards the border of Zhongshan Kingdom.

When Ta Dun's soldiers and horses arrived here.

Jin Yiwei's soldiers had arrived in Zhongshan County ahead of schedule and told Zhen Yao the news.

Zhen Yao also ran away on horseback a day ago, directly from Zhongshan to Changshan County, then walked Changshan back to Yecheng, passed through Yecheng, and went south to Yangzhou.

At this time in Zhongshan, although there are still some common people, most of them know what happened in Hejian.

Some people also got the news in advance and took the whole family south.

Only some of Liu Zheng's spies who were secretly ambushing here did not withdraw in time, and there were also some garrisons stationed in various counties, and they were ordered to station here to defend against the enemy.

Once he fled, it would be a death penalty for running away. As a general, he would not leave so easily.

Although Zhongshan is very close to Hejian, because someone leaked the news in advance, there are not many Karasuma people left here to plunder.

Their speed was very fast, they were cavalry after all, and it only took a day and a half at most to rush from Hejian County to Zhongshan Country.

And after Zhen Yao evacuated earlier, there were only a few county towns left. Although there were a lot of troops, it would definitely take time to attack each city.

Not much to say, if you fight a small county, you will definitely need a day or two of effort.

Although there are not many small counties in this Zhongshan country, if you want to completely occupy Zhongshan country, it will definitely not work for ten days and a half months.

After Ta Dun dispatched troops, Xu Huang and Tai Shici of Bohai County also got the news at this time.

In Bohai County, Xu Huang has already brought his [-] soldiers and horses, ready to fight at any time.

Just waiting for the news to come from Hejian, when Jin Yiwei spread the news that Tadun had left Hejian to Bohai.

Tai Shici and Xu Huang were overjoyed immediately.

The scheme of planning finally caught Yuan Xi in the trap.

"That's great. Yuan Xi really did attack the Zhongshan country. Thanks to the people from the Zhen family, they didn't evacuate. Yuan Xi will definitely not be able to bear it."

After the news came, Tai Shici immediately became excited, said something to Xu Huang, and wanted to lead troops with Xu Huang to attack Hejian.

Although Hejian County was occupied by Yuan Xi's troops, they had just captured Hejian County and it was not yet solid. If they counterattacked back at this time, there was a great possibility that Hejian County would be brought back.

Losing Hejian County meant that Yuan Xike's busy work would be for nothing this time when he went south to attack Jizhou.

After hearing Tai Shici's words, Xu Huang also nodded solemnly.

"Ziyi, you are right. Now we will lead the cavalry to go straight to Hejian to see if we can kill Yuan Xi directly in Hejian County."

"Wait a minute, General Gongming. Our army only has more than 3 troops here. If we want to attack Yuan Xi with this manpower, I'm afraid it won't be enough. Why don't we wait for the main attacking army to arrive before making any plans?"

It's not that Tai Shici doesn't trust Xu Huang enough, it's just that if they are cautious, their chances of advancing rashly with this little manpower are really slim. After all, although Yuan Xi dispatched some soldiers and horses to leave, there are still tens of thousands stationed in Hejian County. people.

Defense is the main focus again, and it is not easy for Xu Huang to attack by force.

It's better to wait for Liu Zheng's main force to arrive before making plans.

"My lord, the soldiers and horses are still in Qingzhou. It will take at least two or three days to get here. We can afford to wait, but Yuan Xi's people may not wait for us."

Xu Huang hesitated for a moment, and said his plan.

Time waits for no one, and fighters on the battlefield change rapidly.

If you want to wait here for Liu Zheng, even though the number of troops has increased, the chances of winning back Hejian County are indeed greater.

However, the opportunity to fight was delayed. When Liu Zheng's main force arrives here, the news will definitely be known by Yuan Xi. Maybe Yuan Xi will send someone to bring back these soldiers and horses, and then there will be a tug-of-war again. Battle situation.

Having said that, Tai Shici frowned.

"Then let it be like this, general, you lead the cavalry to Hejian and encircle Yuan Xi under Lecheng County. I am waiting for His Majesty's headquarters to arrive, and when the time comes, I will gather the army to support you. You see how?"

Tai Shici's soldiers and horses are no more than [-] people here at this time, and they are mainly infantry. Even if they want to go to Hejian County, they can't keep up with the speed of these cavalry under Xu Huang's command. They stay here and wait for Liu Zheng. The army of the headquarters is not bad.

When Xu Huang heard Tai Shici's opinion, he thought it was okay and nodded.

"Okay, then according to what you said, I will lead the cavalry to entangle Yuan Xi first, and you will come to support later!"

After all, Xu Huang and Tai Shici had a clear division of labor. One party led [-] cavalry to Hejian County first, while Tai Shici was stationed in Bohai County, waiting for Liu Zheng's main army to arrive.

At this time, Liu Zheng gradually rushed from Yangzhou to Jizhou after a long journey of more than ten days.

After walking for several days, the army has just passed Guangzong City and there is still some distance to reach Bohai Navy.

After all, his command is dominated by infantry.There are not many cavalry, and even if there is an army of cavalry, they are all infantry marching, and the speed cannot be so fast.

It's not for support.It's just that the battle against Yuan Xi will be a protracted battle, so the speed of the army is not the main thing, the main thing is whether the rear logistics team can arrive quickly.

Only when the grain transport officer in the rear transports the grain and grass to Jizhou first, can Liu Zheng's army gradually catch up. Otherwise, it would be a terrible thing if the army arrives in Jizhou and there is not enough grain and grass to deal with it.

Now he has assembled Wenpin's 2 troops in Guangzong, and Zang Ba Guanhai's 2 horses, plus more than 1 people left by Sun Ce and Zhou Yu.

Counting Liu Zheng's own troops, the army now exceeds 6.

With such a large number of corps, the food and grass consumed in a day are huge.

Chapter 37

If it weren't for the food and grass under Liu Zheng's command, there would be no shortage of food and grass, and the food and grass would have been transported to the front line early. The consumption of so many soldiers and horses is not something ordinary people can bear.

Yuan Xi and Ta Dun's subordinates also had [-] to [-] soldiers and horses, but they mainly nourished these soldiers and horses by fighting, raising and constantly looting and searching.

In fact, they don't have much food in store.

Yuan Xi and Ta Dun could be unscrupulous and start a war without much preparation, but Liu Zheng can't do it now.

He needs to prepare for food, even for the terrain of the attack and any other factors that may determine the outcome of the battlefield.

A huge battle that affects the whole body.

Sometimes it is much more difficult for the commander to take care of it than for one or two teams alone.

A person with some ability can become a general to command an army, but not every general is qualified to command thousands of troops.

There is a huge difference between general talent and handsome talent.

For example, although the generals of these legions under Liu Zheng are all generals in command of 2 people, there are not many among them who can be called handsome.

At present, Liu Zheng believes that the only people who are qualified to be called handsome talents are Huang Zhong and Sun Jian who are barely qualified.

Xu Huang, Tai Shici, Gan Ning, Zhou Tai and others, although their status is very high, they have good martial arts, and have great prestige in the army, but after all, they sometimes get angry.

Calling him a handsome talent is still a little bit reluctant. On the contrary, Lu Su and Zhou Yu are not particularly outstanding in martial arts, but resourceful people have the potential to become handsome talents.

It's just that they are still too young, relatively young, and don't have much experience, so they can't entrust them with important tasks for the time being.

On the way to Balhae County.

Tai Shici has already ordered people to pass the information of Hejian County here.

"Hey, the days on the road are really boring, Qi Ling, get in the carriage quickly, let's fight the landlord for a while."

The entertainment method of fighting landlords has already become popular in the Han Empire after Liu Zheng spread it ten years ago.

In the early years, the favorite entertainment of Liu Zheng and others was Doudizhu, because generals like Liu Zheng loved it, and those soldiers naturally followed suit, and soon popularized Doudizhu.

Not to mention, because Liu Zheng made things like playing cards ahead of time.

As a result, they also evolved other ways to play, and Liu Zheng also talked about some Texas Hold'em and tractor games in later generations.

But the most popular is the game of Doudizhu.

Playing Landlords is naturally a kind of game. Liu Zheng plays with Lu Qiling and Guo Jia. In order not to be boring, they will also add some prizes. The bet is naturally wine.

After all, Guo Jia is not interested in betting on other things.

After more than a dozen fights, it was obvious that Guo Jia and Liu Zheng had their own victories.

But Lu Qiling lost miserably.

"If you don't come, don't come. My husband knows how to bully others. They have no family background. Now that it's all over, you have deceived them all."

Lu Qiling suffered a blood loss after more than a dozen Doudizhu games, and Liu Zheng won them all.

Guo Jia also has small victories. After all, the smart brain is here. For someone with an IQ like Guo Jia, this kind of gadget is simply a piece of cake.

"Hey, how can this be called cheating? This is obviously won by my strength, okay? If you can't beat me, just play tricks."

Liu Zheng immediately argued with Lu Qiling.

"But I lost everything, how about, Your Majesty, help me pay it?"

Lu Qiling smiled, showing a smirk, and looked at Liu Zheng, as if she had succeeded in a trick.

Seeing Lu Qiling's wicked appearance, Liu Zheng also became very fond of her.

Immediately burst into pride.

"Well, well, it's all up to you, isn't it just a few jars of wine, the widow will give it to you."

"Come on, let's continue. There is still some distance from here to Bohai Sea. It's enough for us to play for a long time."

As soon as Liu Zheng finished speaking, a few war horses came and galloped over, and the sound of horseshoes had already been heard here.

"Your Majesty, there is information from the front line."

Jin Yiwei passed the news to Dian Wei, and Dian Wei immediately came to report the situation to Liu Zheng.

Hearing the news, Lu Qiling immediately joined her.

I want to hear the news from the front line.

Liu Zheng was not angry when Dian Wei interrupted his pleasure. After all, these things were more important. He immediately straightened himself up and replied to Dian Wei.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Dian Wei didn't delay any longer, and immediately waved his hand, ordering Jin Yiwei to come over.

The Jin Yiwei didn't dare to neglect, and hurried forward, but he didn't dare to get too close. After all, Liu Zheng's identity is here. If you get too close, you will easily encounter assassins. Unless they are Liu Zheng's guards, ordinary people, They are all seven or eight feet away from Liu Zheng.

"Your Majesty, General Tai Shici ordered me to send news. Hejian has been occupied by Yuan Xi's troops. One day ago, Yuan Xi had ordered Tadun to lead [-] troops to attack Zhongshan from Hejian."

"Going to attack Zhongshan? It's exactly as I expected."
