NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 152
Chapter 152 The Soldiers Are Very Fast! (46)
In Julu City.
Although they were besieged by Yuan Shao for more than half a month, the people in the city did not panic at all, as if they were never worried about Yuan Shao’s army breaking into the city.
Of course, people’s hearts are so stable. Since Liu Bian’s side has been fighting and victorious, it has been introduced into the city, attracting the admiration of the people. The second is Xun Yu’s appeasement. Xun Yu let many daring people watch the battle on the sidelines. , And Yuan Shao’s thieves were just like this, so naturally they couldn’t panic.
After Liu Bian’s letter came from Maocheng today, Xun Yu’s generals Zhang He and Gao Lan called both.
Xun Yu still relied very heavily on these two people. He was capable of both writing and martial arts. It could be said that with the two of them in Julu City, Xun Yu could save more than half of his energy.
“Xun Yu Changshi, what do you mean by coming to us today?”
After Gao Lan and Zhang He entered the room, they asked.
Seeing the hot sweat on the two of them, Xun Yu smiled and said: “It’s hard work for the two generals, I’m afraid this is just coming down from the city wall? I told you a long time ago that Yuan Shao’s army 23 has already left, it is unlikely Come back to our Julu City.”
Zhang He said: “This is our duty, Your Majesty has given a death order, Xindu and Julu must not do anything, otherwise even if the two of us die hundreds or thousands of times, we will still be unable to make up for what we committed. fault below!
Gao Lan also nodded solemnly: “Exactly, His Majesty’s kindness is higher than the sky, and now he is still fighting bloody battles on the front line, how can we think of rest?”
The two were loyal to each other, and even Xun Yu nodded secretly.
“The two generals said this well. With you here, I can rest easy. It is precisely because of Your Majesty’s letter that I let you here today! 99
“Your Majesty annihilated Gongsun Zan’s 50,000 men in Maocheng, captured Gongsun Zan alive, and is now heading north.”
After saying this, Xun Yu’s face was full of joy. Gongsun Zan was annihilated, which meant that instead of being afraid of Yuan Shao’s attack, he wanted to trouble him.
Zhang He and Gao Lan were also very happy when they heard the news: “Your Majesty is really good, we have only left for a few days? We defeated Gongsun Zan’s army. Now I see how arrogant Yuan Shao is.”
“What order does Your Majesty have for us?”
Xun Yu continued: “Your Majesty estimates that Yuan Shao will meet with Xu Rong outside Fanyang City, so he ordered us to stop Yuan Shao’s northward at all costs, and stop it on the front line of Renqiu, if Xu Rong’s fifty thousand cavalry came Support, let us take the opportunity to enter Fanyang City and reinforce General Xue Rengui, who will lead his troops to cut off Yuan Shao’s back path.
“it is good!!
Zhang He said: “Your Majesty’s plan is really incomparable, let these people also understand that we are not so easy to come to Jizhou, since we have come in, we won’t lose a few bones, so don’t even think about going out!”
“The two of us will go now! 35
Zhang He said anxiously.
It was not without reason that he was so anxious. Changshan where Yuan Shao was located and Julu where they were now were about the same distance from Renqiu.
If you don’t hurry up and wait for Yuan Shao to arrive first, then everything will be too late.
Xun Yu naturally knew this, so he didn’t say too much nonsense: “The two generals hurry up to prepare, and if you can feel the front line of Renqiu and Gao Yang as soon as possible, it’s up to you. 99
“Don’t worry, we will live up to His Majesty’s entrustment.”
After speaking, the two left in a hurry without delaying for a moment.
Outside Julu City, the 30,000-strong army the two men had already assembled had already been assembled. Originally, Xun Yu wanted to send 10,000 horses to them from Xindu, but the two refused.
It’s not that they don’t need manpower, it’s really the Empress Dowager, and all of Her Majesty’s women are there. Although the possibility of Yuan Shao attacking Xindu is very small, they can’t take risks.
Standing in front of 30,000 people, Zhang He and Gao Lan also added a bit of confidence. These are basically soldiers who have followed them for many years, and they have a tacit understanding with each other.
Zhang He stepped forward and shouted loudly: “Soldiers, our goal is to dare to reach the front line of Renqiu before Yuan Shao’s army, arrive in advance, and prevent Yuan Shao from passing through, so this time you don’t need to bring any baggage, everyone except for I threw away everything except weapons and rations.
“is that clear?
“clear!
“clear!!
Zhang He was very satisfied and shouted: “Let’s go!
The 30,000 soldiers started to mobilize and quickly ran towards Renqiu City.
Julu and Renqiu were five or six hundred miles away, but at Zhang He’s urging, the army spent the rest of the day on the road except for four hours of rest and meals. A hundred miles away.
Such speed also made Zhang He and Gao Lan extremely satisfied.
On the other side, Yuan Shao, who had left Changshan early, did not know that there was already an army secretly competing with him. At this time, he watched the army arrive in Zhongshan in two days and marched a hundred miles every day. Can’t stop praising the generals.
If he knew the speed of Zhang He and Gao Lan, he would be so shocked that his eyes would fall.
Three days later, Zhang He finally saw the city of Renqiu. After looking at the banner of Liu character fluttering in the wind above the tower, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“Brother Gao, we have finally lived up to His Majesty’s entrustment, this Renqiu City is still here!”9
Gao Lan also nodded slowly: “The soldiers have been on the road day and night for the past three days, they are really exhausted, they should have a good rest today!”
Zhang He nodded: “Nevertheless, we can’t let our guard down, we need to find out where Yuan Shao’s army is, so we can prepare for the next step. 35
“I don’t worry about this matter, I hope my brother can go through it personally.
Gao Lan knew what Zhang He meant, but he was afraid that the rest of the scouts were too tired to continue the investigation, and this investigation could not tolerate any problems, otherwise everything would be in vain.
“Don’t worry, let me go, no problem! 35
“You rest here, I’ll come when I go.
After he finished speaking, Gao Lan ordered a few scouts and ran straight to the west on horseback.
An hour passed, and all the soldiers fell asleep beautifully. Whether they were very satisfied, some even started to sit with each other and brag and chat.
Seeing the soldiers resting, Zhang He was relieved, and now he is waiting for the news brought back by Gao Lan. Only by knowing where Yuan Shao is now can they find the right medicine and formulate a plan.
