13, Sound East and West Strategies (4)
The next day, Hejian Gecheng.
Tuo Yijun, who had been rushing to attack Kazu City overnight, easily opened the gate of Kazu City after arriving early in the morning, attacked Kazu City's garrison, and controlled the five thousand soldiers in the city.
Que Yi summoned a powerful man from the big family in the city and attacked the outside world that Yuan Shao was seriously ill and had an internal strife in Yecheng. He was ordered to send troops to welcome the eldest son Yuan Tan, quell the rebellion of Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang, and supported Liu He as the governor of Youzhou, and seized hostages with swords and weapons. He forced the big family powerful man from the big family to send food and serve as the chief of the city to quell the rebellion.
After those powerful parents left, Tuo Ying also ran into the lobby where Tuo Yi was, headed straight to Tuo Yi to explain his important matters and began to say
"Sir. The three groups of envoys sent to contact the Montenegro Army have already explained the matter personally and sent them on their way!"
"good!"
Tuo Yi nodded. As early as the way to attack Gecheng, he had already sent envoys to Yijing and presented Gongsun Zan with the deployment map of Yuan's army surrounding Yijing to Gongsun Zan, preparing to use this to win the trust of Gongsun Zan, invite Gongsun Zan to send troops to respond, and join forces to fight against Yuan Shao.
The messenger who contacted the Black Mountain Army was sent out after capturing Katsura.
Tuo Ying looked at her father, hesitated for a moment, and still spoke
"Sir, although Changshan sent three groups of envoys to Zhongshan and contact the Heishan army, Zhang Yan's power has been greatly reduced since he was defeated by Yuan Shao, and his commanders have even wandered around and occupied the mountains and forests. The envoys we sent may not be able to contact Zhang Yan, and I am afraid that even if we contact him, Zhang Yan may not believe the envoys and send troops to join us. We still need to make plans early!"
In Tuo Ying's opinion, his father's not very clever "contacting with the Black Mountain Army" may not work. Instead of expecting Zhang Yan to lead the army to come and respond, they might as well raise troops to move closer to Yi Jing where Gongsun Zan is located, and hope that Gongsun Zan will give up his past grudges and send his cavalry to help.
It was rare for Kuo Yi to see his eldest son and began to learn to shift his attention from the victory or defeat of the battle formation to the gains and losses of the situation. He couldn't help but smile in his eyes.
"It's okay, I have sent envoys to tell Gongsun Zan and Zhang Yan that they are also a temporary Xiaojie. They will naturally distinguish and test whether the Tu family has deceived them. As for sending troops to support, what can they do if they don't send troops to support them? Our Tu family never expects others to help them!"
this!
Tuo Ying was really confused. His father contacted Gongsun Zan and the Black Mountain Army. He did so many things, but now he doesn’t expect these two families to send troops to form an alliance with them?
What exactly is going on?
Before Tuo Ying could ask, Qu Guang rushed back from outside in a hurry. After he saluted, he immediately said
"Uncle, the horses in the city have been collected. According to the military order, we only picked a thousand elite soldiers in the city and organized them into the army. When will we start to deport you, we will wait for my uncle to give in."
"Okay, let the soldiers bring only dry food, clear water, weapons, armor, and supplies and other burdens. The seriously injured soldiers gave them gold and silk to stay in the city. After resting, the entire army would set off on the road lightly and go on both sides of the road."
Tuo Ying, who heard the conversation between Tuo Yi and Qu Guang, was stunned. When he saw his father contacting Gongsun Zan and Heishan Army, he also summoned the powerful surnames in the city to actively prepare for war, and put forward the banner to support Liu He as the governor of Youzhou. He originally thought that the Tuo family wanted to unite Gongsun Zan, Heishan Army, Youzhou tyrants and other forces to separatist Youyan and compete with Hebei North and South.
But I didn't expect that my father was secretly leading his army to move in at the same time.
Where are you going?
"Sir, I won't wait to guard Katsurachi?"
The confused Tuo Ying couldn't wait to ask when the conversation between Tuo Yi and Qu Guang was over.
"Yes, we will not guard Gecheng, enter Zhongshan Kingdom, and then head south into Julu County!"
Tuo Yi said firmly in line with Tuo Ying's confused gaze.
He knew very well that no matter whether it was Gongsun Zan, who was still fighting with trapped beasts, the Heishan Army with scattered branches and leaves, or the Liu He who was under house arrest in Yecheng, the Tuo family and the Tuo family were not enough to compete with the full-fledged Yuan Shao in Hebei.
At this time, you will only be surrounded by Yuan's army that come from all directions and fall into a dead end.
Only by putting it to death and resurrection, breaking out of the shackles in front of him, and breaking into the heartland of Hebei's weak defense, can their troops gain a glimmer of hope.
Therefore, seeing the confusion of his eldest son, Que Yi was not worried but happy.
Even Tuo Ying, who was in the army, could not see through the reality of his deployment in advance, let alone the generals of Hebei who were still far away in the Zheng County to clean up the chaos.
At present, probably all enemies and friends will think that what they have to do now is to desperately contact Gongsun Zan, Heishan Army, and Youzhou local forces in an attempt to seize Youyan and fight against Yuan Shao in Hebei together.
But I just didn't take this step.
Tuo Ying could clearly feel his father's determination, and his chest was also a little ups and downs. After taking a breath, he suppressed his shocked and confused thoughts and did not dare to question his father's decision to go south, but he still asked with a question.
"Why did the lord choose to go south, not only did he abandon his baggage, equipment, but he didn't even let the soldiers carry his armor?"
Soldiers are the most important thing for gods, which is a truth that anyone who knows a little bit of military intelligence understands.
In order to seize the initiative, it is not uncommon for the army to abandon supplies, food and grass, and long-distance raids are not uncommon, but Tuo Ying is really puzzled by the behavior of going south to Hebei's hinterland and siege cities but not even carrying armor.
A soldier had a pair of armor on his body, which was equivalent to having several more lives on the battlefield. The Tuo family's troops abandoned the armor and completely became a light soldier, which accelerated the marching.
But once they go south to encounter the enemy, even ordinary county and state soldiers will immediately fall into hard battles. Without armor, they are afraid that after several rounds of enemy arrows, their light soldiers will suffer heavy casualties and collapse on the spot.
Tuo Ying remembers that when his father explained the art of war to the Tuo family, he said this to them.
The army fights for profit, and the army fights for danger. If the army raises the army and fights for profit, it will be too late; if the army is entrusted and the army is entrusted, the baggage will be donated. If the army has no baggage, it will be destroyed; if there is no food, it will be destroyed; if there is no accumulation, it will be destroyed.
At present, Qu Yi, with the Tuo family, is moving step by step towards the quagmire of alone army, without food, grass and supplies.
Of course, Qu Yi knew the risks of doing this. The Qu family is now like rushing into the tiger's den with bare hands. If he is careless, he will be wiped out in a situation of annihilation. But he has no choice and will no longer think about whether there are any other choices.
Tuo Ying forgot that he had told him such a military tactic.
In any place of war or place where corpses are established, one will die if one dies, and one will die if one is lucky. Those who are good at generals are like sitting in a boat and lying under a burning house, making the wise less capable of planning, the braver less angry, and they will be attacked.
Therefore, I must be fast and without any hesitation. Before the big Yuan Jun surrounded them, I must rush into the hinterland of Hebei, completely disrupt him, and seek a glimmer of hope in chaos.
However, before this, Que Yi could use the strategy of fooling the people to treat the soldiers at the bottom, but he had to give his son enough motivation and fighting spirit.
He stared at Tuo Ying, clenched his fists tightly, as if he had strangled the throat of fate, and the majestic momentum of the generals who fought for hundreds of battles surged up.
"Who said we have no baggage, armor, baggage, armor, armor is in Zhongshan Kingdom, and Julu County. There, as much as you want, you have!"
···
Daying, Jung County.
"Young Master, emergency military information came from Gecheng. Tuo Yi fled to Gecheng, killed the garrison in the city, spread rumors that the general was seriously ill and the civil strife in Yecheng. He also lied that he was ordered to send troops to quell the rebellion and posed a banner of supporting Liu He as the governor of Youzhou."
Since Wen Chou, who was pursuing Wen'an, defeated the "Qu Yi army" halfway and captured many prisoners, confirming that this was just a suspicious plan. After Qu Yi had no intention of running east to Bohai and rafting, Wen Chou, who knew that he had been trapped, ordered the army to return, and hurriedly sent a quick horse to rush back to the camp in Zheng County, Huo reported the military information to Yuan Shang.
After learning about this situation, Yuan Shang was shocked and was in a daze and almost fell to the ground.
As Ju Su expected, the "Tu Yi army" in Wen'an was just a suspicious soldier. It was really that Tuo Yi had already led his troops to escape from the territory of Zheng County overnight. So where did he go?
Almost overnight, Kuo Yi completely disrupted Yuan Shang's previous deployments and plans.
Yuan Shang could only send an envoy in a hurry to warn the surrounding cities and prepare to beware of Yuan Jun who suddenly appeared without his own warrants.
Unfortunately, it's still too late.
The next day, Jun County received an urgent report on the fall of Gecheng. After Ju Su sorted out several emergency military information, he submitted the overall information of Gecheng to Yuan Shang.
"General Ju, Qu Yi is cunning, what do you think we should do in the current situation?"
This time, after suffering a great loss, the young Yuan Shang finally realized that he was far from a match for Tuo Yi in using troops. He could only lower his posture and humbly ask Ju Su, who was known as resourceful.
"Young Master, all the signs of the military newspaper at present indicate that the one-hit Kuo Yi wanted to unite with Gongsun Zan of Yi Jing, the black bandits in Zhongshan Kingdom, and incite the turmoil of Youzhou to split the land of Youyan from Hebei, so as to unite the forces of various families to deal with us!"
Ju Su sighed and said with concern.
Yuan Shang was shocked and anxious when he heard Ju Su's words, but he was unwilling to give up. He still had hope and said to Ju Su with a bit of begging tone.
"The previous episode was the fault of a boy underestimating the enemy and fighting for strength. General Ju must have a good plan to suppress the rebellion and defeat the enemy!"
Yuan Shang could only pin his hopes on Ju Su's remedy. If he really lets Qu Yi go and gives Qu Yi the opportunity to unite with powerful enemies and seize Youyan, then he would be seriously guilty.
Even if you can survive with your status as a young master, there will probably be no hope of turning back in your life.
Ju Su saw from Yuan Shang's eyes that he was afraid and helpless about the subsequent out of control situation, and he couldn't help but feel a sudden sensation in his heart.
Perhaps after this incident, there will be unexpected benefits, which will allow the general to see that his doting son Yuan Shang is not a suitable heir, so he can dig out the root of the deposed elders and the young people in Hebei and bring about the disaster of internal strife.
This thought flashed through Ju Su's heart, and even Ju Su was shocked by himself. He quickly rejected his crazy idea in the inner struggle.
If this is true, the price Hebei needs to pay is too high. What is the difference between itself and those treacherous ministers who use any means to achieve their goals?
He looked at Yuan Shang who was begging, sighed in his heart, comforted him and said in comfort.
"Victory and defeat are common in military affairs, and the young master does not need to blame himself. He should take on the important task of assisting the young master, and do his best to do his best!"
