When the captain guarding the city gate saw them from a distance, he led more than ten soldiers to wait respectfully by the roadside, with mostly admiration in their expressions. Among the group of people, the one in the middle was wearing white light clothes, with sword-shaped eyebrows and bright eyes. In addition to being elegant and suave, he looked very majestic.
The man in white nodded slightly to the captain at the city gate, slowed down his horse, and slowly passed through the city gate. Today's Moling City is prosperous and prosperous, and there are many pedestrians coming and going. The imperial court has already issued strict orders. Unless there is an emergency military situation, all cars and horses are not allowed to travel at high speed to avoid hurting the people.
When the group of people gradually walked away, the captain of the city gate breathed a sigh of relief and whispered to the left and right: "Since the emperor promoted the Marquis of Wu to the king of Wu two years ago, the country's power has become stronger and stronger, but the king of Wu's love for the people has never changed. Having a light car and a simple life, and living a life that is not luxurious, this is really a blessing for the people in the world"
The soldiers guarding the city were all from the six counties of Jiangdong. After the war, their families had settled in Moling. The increasingly stable and prosperous life over the years had made them very happy. After hearing this, they all nodded and replied: "That's not true Regardless of the people in the world, even the millions of elders in Jiangdong, which family does not set up an incense altar to pray for the King of Wu? In this world, it would be nothing without the Emperor, but without the King of Wu, we people will not I don¡¯t know how much more suffering I will suffer!¡±
The captain had been nodding his head before hearing this, but after hearing the last word, he finally couldn't help but his face sank, and he scolded: "Such offensive language. Are you talking nonsense too? Watch your heads! Guard the door for me. !¡±
Wait for all the soldiers to go away. The captain's sullen face just relaxed, and he lowered his head and said roughly: "I have been fighting with King Wu for five or six years. Don't you want him to replace the frail and sick emperor? I don't know who King Wu is. What do you think"
Then, the captain held the handle of the knife and slowly walked towards the city gate. Just a few steps away, a sudden sound of horse hooves suddenly appeared in his ears. The captain turned around quickly and put up an awning with his hand, just in the distance. On the official road. The dust and smoke filled the air, and three fast horses suddenly emerged from it, heading straight for Moling City!
On top of the three fast horses, there are three strong men who are leaning over and galloping. Wearing light clothes, there is a circular mark printed on the chest with a big word "post" written on it. The school captain has been guarding the city gate for many years. He knew that there was an emergency military situation from afar and came back through the post stations set up in various places. He was busy and high He ordered in a loud voice: "There is an urgent report! There is an urgent report! Stop the pedestrians quickly!"
Not long after, an urgent report sealed with fire paint arrived in Zhou Yu's hands. When Zhou Yu returned from an outing, he opened the urgent report and took a quick look at it, and couldn't help but be overjoyed. He hurriedly ordered people to invite Jia Xu, Zhuge Jin and others to come to discuss the matter.
"Congratulations, my lord! Congratulations, my lord!" After reading the urgent report, Jia Xu smiled and held his hands in congratulations.
Zhou Yu was in a happy mood and replied with a smile: "It is really fast to convey military information through a post station! General Gao Shun's urgent report was sent from Hebei, and it was already sent back just over two days ago! This is very good! Gu Ye We can get this good news in the shortest possible time!¡±
Zhuge Jin said with a smile: "According to my lord's plan and with the command of General Gao Shun, we will get this good news sooner or later! Now that Yecheng has fallen, Yuan Tan has captured Ganling, Bohai, Hejian, and Anping. Yuan Shang's foundation He lost everything and only led a few remnant soldiers to flee to Gu'an. He had no choice but to surrender to Yuan Xi! Jizhou is the capital of Hebei, so it must be returned to the lord, and then he can take You and merge with him. It's as easy as flipping the palm of a hand!"
Zhou Yu nodded and said: "Support Yuan Tan and let him attack the Yuan Shang brothers. This is a strategy agreed upon with you, so that our army can capture Yecheng with a small number of casualties! You all have credit! General Gao Shun leads the army to fight. It doesn't matter. , Kong Ming sat in Liyang, pacified the people, and transported food and grass. He was actually very orderly and without any chaos. He was really a great talent, and he should be reused in the future!"
Zhuge Liang is the younger brother of Zhuge Jin and is currently the governor of Liyang. He was praised by Zhou Yu. Zhuge Jin felt very grateful and thanked him on Zhuge Liang's behalf. At this time, Jia Xu suddenly said: "My lord, apart from the layout of Bashu and the war in Hebei, all the troops in the army have been fully rested, and they can be said to be well-prepared. This time we can send troops northward, sweep through Youbin, and eliminate the Yuan brothers in one fell swoop! "
Zhuge Jin also agreed: "I think so too! Yuan Tanxing just happened to be killed, and he looked like a wolf, so he must not have sincerely surrendered, so he should be eliminated together!"
Zhou Yu said "hmm" and said, "I've called a few of you here to discuss this matter. According to Jingwu Guard's secret report, Yuan Tan has been preparing secretly and will raise the flag of rebellion at any time. Our army has occupied Yecheng and will speed up even more." His rebellion! Fortunately, General Gao Shun has noticed it, and all his battalions have made some preparations. We are not worried that Yuan Tan's sudden attack will cause heavy losses, but our army must also prepare early!"
"Except for Yuan Tan, now that we have no worries, our army can march northward to attack Youzhou. In order to defend against the high-ranking cadres in Bingzhou, we can first send troops to guard the key passes. South boats and north horses. The land of Hebei is suitable for cavalry attacks. Guyi is sending his troops General Long led the Hurricane Battalion to immediately dispatch troops. Guangling Camp, Jiangdu Camp, TaiThe four units of Shanying and Lujiangying then gathered to go north. What do you think? "
Jia Xu laughed and said: "General Zilong's Hurricane Battalion is very powerful now! The best horse breeds from Xiliang have been introduced to Jiangdong. The number of heavy armored cavalry alone has reached 2,000! The elites selected from each battalion have There are nearly 20,000 light cavalry. Once they arrive in Hebei, it will be difficult for them to fight even if brothers Yuan Tan, Yuan Shang, and Yuan Xi join hands!"
Zhuge Jin added: "Exactly! Even the 60,000 people in Guangling Camp, Jiangdu Camp, Taishan Camp, and Lujiang Camp are mostly veterans who have been in battle for a long time. Most of the military lieutenants and generals are trained in Qianlong Academy. There have been improvements in command, dispatch, cooperation, troop division, etc.! How can such a strong general and soldiers not be able to defeat You Bing?"
Zhou Yu lowered his voice slightly and said: "No matter whatin battles, people will always die. I hope that there will be as few wars as possible in the future! Now, whether it is Jingzhou, Yangzhou, Jiaozhou, or Yanzhou, Yuzhou, and Qingzhou in the hinterland of the Central Plains, , have been recuperating for more than three years, raising troops for a thousand days and using them for a while, and when Hebei is leveled, the world will be peaceful not far away!"
In March of the seventh year of Tianyou, Gao Shun led his troops to besiege Yecheng. After more than a month, Yuan Shang broke out with only a thousand remaining soldiers and defected to Yuan Xi. Shenpei gathered all his strength and defended for three more days. His nephew Shenrong opened the east gate and surrendered. Shenpei was captured. He was not afraid of death and unwilling to surrender, so he committed suicide in prison.
After Yuan Tan captured Ganling, Bohai, Hejian, and Anping, he annexed Yuan Shang's remnants, devoured his troops, and raised a rebel flag with the intention of monopolizing Jizhou. Gao Shunchu led his troops to rest and regroup, and used Huang Zhong's Zhongyi Battalion to guard Zhao Yun's Hurricane Battalion, and then joined forces to attack Yuan Tan. (To be continued)
