Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty

Chapter 571: Cavalry south

Hearing Yuan Xi's complaint, Tian Feng had no expression on his face, but bowed his head and said: "Feng knows that he is wrong, thank you for your correction.

When Yuan Xi saw Tian Feng's expression, he knew that Tian Feng must have not listened to it. Tian Feng has always been like this, doing his own way, Yuan Xi could not help but sigh.

Yuan Xi smiled bitterly: "Fine, my father is not here today, but if my father is here in the future, Mr. Yuan Hao has to be cautious." Yuan Xi suddenly understood in his heart: No wonder his father would send Mr. Yuan Hao by his side to assist in governance. I'm afraid it's not only to help myself, but the most important thing is to clean one ear.

Tian Feng nodded and continued: "However, my Youzhou Army is already weak, and I definitely cannot go south."

Hearing what Tian Feng said, Yuan Xi suddenly said, "But I am afraid that my father is struggling to support Yecheng, otherwise, how could he ask Youzhou for assistance? Now my father's letter is here. As a son of man, how can I see Can't save you?"

In the Han Dynasty, the country was governed by filial piety. Yuan Shao was both Yuan Xi’s father and Yuan Xi’s monarch. Whether he was loyal or filial, he should send troops to help each other if he was loyal or filial.

Tian Feng groaned, and said, "It's okay to send troops to rescue you, but you can never send out infantry, just send out cavalry."

"What?" Yuan Xi frowned: "But among my Youzhou Army's horses, the infantry accounted for the majority. I am only sending out cavalry, I am afraid that it is less than three thousand. It is like a drop in the bucket. How can I get the answer to Yecheng? anxious?"

Although Youzhou was one of the three major horse-producing areas in the Han Dynasty, there were many horse farms, but Yuan Xi just took control of Youzhou. The main body of the army was Jizhou people, so the infantry was the majority, while the cavalry was a minority, and they were not able to get Youzhou. People are naturally unable to recruit too many Youzhou people with proficient riding skills in a short time.

Tian Feng explained: "If our army rushes southward, it will not only be unable to solve the emergency of Yecheng, but it may also wipe out the entire army of our Youzhou army. As a result, the door of Youzhou will be opened. In case Liu Yuqing divides his troops to attack my Youzhou, may I ask? How can the second son resist?"

Yuan Xi's face was embarrassed: "But it would be a problem to only send cavalry..."

"Let's do it." Tian Feng said sternly: "Send three thousand fine riders, two thousand foot soldiers, a total of five thousand step riders, and then levy five thousand civilian men, then lie to the 30,000 army, and slowly go south in order to add stoves. How about marching?"

After all, the military strength of Youzhou is not enough, so Tian Feng suggested temporarily enlisting civilian husbands to make up the number. As long as the fanfare is on the momentum, it can make the Liangzhou army temporarily hesitate, but it can also alleviate the emergency.

Yuan Xi frowned and said: "Well, but to attract Liangzhou soldiers with light soldiers, you must be a general. Looking at the many generals in Youzhou, I am afraid that only General Gao Lan has this important task."

"Second Young Master, Gao Lan is willing to lead troops out!"

There was a firm voice outside the chamber, Yuan Xi raised his eyes and was overjoyed. He stood up and walked out.

"My son has an important task entrusted to General Gao. I didn't expect General Gao to come so quickly, haha." Yuan Xi shook Gao Lan's hand and said with joy.

Gao Lan's face was as firm as a rock, and he said firmly: "Please rest assured that the second son, Lan will definitely live up to his trust, and do his best to rescue Yecheng."

Yuan Xi nodded with satisfaction and clapped his hands. An attendant walked out behind the curtain, holding a brocade box in his hand. Yuan Xi gently opened the brocade box, took out a tiger charm, held it with both hands and pulled it hard, and the bronze tiger charm was divided into two halves.

Yuan Xi solemnly handed over half of the bronze tiger talisman to Gao Lan: "Five thousand steps will be entrusted to the general's hand."

Gao Lan also solemnly accepted the tiger symbol: "No."

On the seventh day of May, Gao Lan led five thousand foot riders and levied another five thousand civilians. Outside, he was called an army of 30,000 men. The menacingly led the soldiers to the south. The intention was self-evident, precisely to rescue Yecheng.

Outside Yecheng city, in the Liangzhou army camp.

Jia Xu's face was faintly excited, holding a letter in his hand, walking hurriedly.

"Mr. Wenhe?" Guan Hai greeted Jia Xu quickly when he saw Jia Xu: "Why is Mr. Wenhe so happy?"

Jia Xu smiled and said: "There is an emergency military situation, go and report to the general."

Guan Hai did not dare to delay, and hurriedly reported in the report, and then walked out: "Mr. Wenhe, the general would like to please."

Jia Xu nodded, adjusted his clothes, and walked in.

"Wenhe, is there any movement from Youzhou towards Yuan Shaojun?" Liu Ye asked with a smile.

"That's the case." Jia Xu said sternly: "Youzhou Army departed from You Beiping, has passed through Yuyang County, and is now coming to Zhuo County."

"Oh?" Liu Ye curiously asked, "Who is the leader of the Youzhou Army and how many people did it use?"

"The leader of the Youzhou Army is Gao Lan, and the Youzhou Army claims to have 30,000." Jia Xu laughed.

"Gao Lan? He can be regarded as a famous general and can be used to fighting." Liu Ye sneered, "But Gao Lan is really daring to talk nonsense."

Jia Xu also smiled: "Yes, let alone Gao Lan's subordinates. Yuan Xi just got Youzhou from Gongsun Zan. Yuan Shaojun's main force is still in Jizhou. It's hard to say whether there are 30,000 troops in Youzhou. It must be a fraud, but I don’t know how much water there is."

"It's easy to say." Liu Ye ordered: "Send a detective to find out how many people there are in the enemy army, but even if the Youzhou Army swarms out, there are at most 10,000 people."

Jia Xu asked, "So how does the general prepare to deal with Gao Lan?"

"Um..." Liu Ye pondered for a while and said, "Although Gao Lan is called Hebei Sitingzhu along with Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Han Meng and others, he is completely different from the other three. Yan Liang is brave and brave. However, the courage of each husband, and Gao Lan is both courageous and strategic, and it is somewhat difficult to induce him to be tricked."

Jia Xu bluntly said: "Then, how about setting up an ambush on the road that Gaolan must pass? When the Youzhou Army is killed, the whole army will fight out. With the strength of our Liangzhou Army, the defeat of the Youzhou Army should not be there. Come on."

Liu Ye nodded: "Well, in that case, order Meng Qi to lead five thousand iron knights, and Gongming to lead seven thousand foot soldiers to set up ambushes in the area of ​​Zhuojun Valley Hill, and catch him by surprise!"

Guqiu is the southernmost part of Zhuo County. Once you pass Guqiu, Gaolan's subordinate will enter the territory of Jizhou. At that time, the Youzhou Army will definitely relax temporarily. At this time, the Liangzhou Army will suddenly come out, and you will be scared. Frightened.

Jia Xu was a little surprised: "To deal with a Gao Lan, he has to send two great generals of our army. Xu is really curious. Who is this Gao Lan and deserves the general's attention?"

Liu Ye smiled: "The lion fights the rabbit with all its strength, and how about such a famous general? At this moment, our army is still besieging Yecheng and not attacking. Both Meng Qi and Gongming are probably itchy hands at this moment, wishing to go out. It."
