Chapter 475 Bingzhou
The next morning, the sky had just lit up. Several soldiers who were in charge of the city gate stretched out and walked to the gate that they guarded. Yesterday's battle had already drained their energy. Even so, in order to settle Chang'an City as soon as possible, these soldiers stayed up very late last night, which was at hand. Love is done.
However, when these soldiers easily pushed open the gate of Chang'an City, the scene in front of them completely stunned the soldiers. Outside Chang'an City, they were all shawl and sharp soldiers. These soldiers stood there without saying a word. Even the knight's horse was quiet. He stood quietly, without making a sound. Tens of thousands of people shouted and killed. These soldiers had experienced it yesterday, but the soldiers standing quietly in front of them gave these soldiers an invisible pressure, and they only felt a stream of cold sweat penetrating from their backs.
"Enemy, enemy attack." A soldier trembled and shouted, and then tried his best to close the gate.
"Wait, it doesn't seem like an enemy." The generals of these people quickly stopped the movements of the soldiers, because although the soldiers in front of them were strict and solemn, they did not look like they were going to attack, otherwise they would not have stood so quietly and waited for them to open the gate.
"Tianshui Taishou Gao Shun was ordered to lead troops to help Chang'an. Please inform my general." At this time, a school official came and said to the soldiers. It turned out that the soldiers outside the city were Gao Shun from Tianshui, bringing the soldiers and horses who came to help Chang'an all the way. In order to help Chang'an in time, Gao Shun could only bring the soldiers and horses to come non-stop, but even so, he was still a step late. Fortunately, when Gao Shun's soldiers and horses rushed to Chang'an City, the flag on the head of Chang'an City was not changed. Gao Shun was relieved. However, Gao Shun could not easily draw a conclusion about the situation in the city. He could only put the soldiers and horses outside the city. When the situation was clear, he was making plans.
But Lv Bu was very happy to hear that Gao Shun led the troops to arrive. Originally, Lv Bu planned to transfer Gao Shun to Taihang Mountain. Now that Ma Teng died, he could send Gao Shun to Bingzhou. If he could successfully take over Bingzhou, it would be another great good thing for Lv Bu. At this time, he heard that Gao Shun had brought troops. Outside the city, you will naturally be happy.
"Gao Shun, see General Lv Bu." Seeing Lv Bu go out of the city to greet him in person, Gao Shun hurried forward to greet him. Originally, Gao Shun came to Chang'an to see Lv Bu in person, which was polite. However, Gao Shun came to help Chang'an at night. At this time, he was not sure about the situation in Chang'an City, and naturally he would not rush into the city, so he asked the city to send Xun Yu or Cheng. Lian came to see that he was willing to go to the city, but he didn't think that Lv Bu would have come out because of such a delay.
"Hahaha, we haven't seen each other for a few years. You are much stronger than before." Lv Bu came forward and grabbed Gao Shun's hand, patted Gao Shun's shoulder and looked at the soldier behind Gao Shun and praised, "This is the recruit you trained. That's good."
"In the past few years, I have nothing else to do, so I have used my main experience on training. These two thousand horses are quite well trained. This time, I will bring it to the master for use." With that, Gao Shun stretched out his finger and pointed to the soldiers and horses standing neatly behind him.
"How many people do you have?" Lv Bu looked at the soldiers still standing outside the city and asked Gao Shun.
"Well." Hearing Lv Bu's question, Gao Shun scratched his head with some embarrassment and then said, "In the past few years, although I have managed a lot of soldiers and horses, most of them need to use them to store grain. I can only choose the elites and train them. Only these 20,000 horses are still elite."
"Hahaha, 20,000 soldiers and horses? There are already a lot. It happens that when I return to Chang'an this time, I have the intention to build an elite soldier. If you have 20,000 soldiers and horses, leave 10,000 for me." For Gao Shun's embarrasment, Lv Bu just laughed. Over the years, Lv Bu has been fighting with the outside world, and he has implemented a strategy of rest and recuperation internally, so that the grain storage task of local troops in various places is very heavy, and most of the military grain must rely on these grain stockpiling soldiers to supply. Therefore, it is not easy for Gao Shun to train such 20,000 elite soldiers without delaying grain storage.
"These two thousand soldiers and horses should stay with the master and contribute. The defense of Tianshui is enough to rely on the grain and soldiers to deal with it." Gao Shun said indifferently. No matter how elite the soldiers are, it is better to let them go to the place where there is a war. Only the battlefield should be the destination of the elite soldiers.
"Don't worry. You must be tired of thinking about it in the past few years. I'm going to let you go to Bingzhou, which is the front line. It's easy for you to use with the soldiers you trained yourself. Lv Bu waved his hand and then said. If it hadn't been for the fact that Chang'an had just received 100,000 surrenders from Ma Teng's army, Lv Bu would not have wanted to dig the corner of Gao Shun at this time. Lv Bu also knew that if Gao Shun could take his 20,000 soldiers to Bingzhou, it would have played a great role in the situation in Bingzhou, but Chang'an must be the capital city. Lv Bu could only First of all, consider the stability of Chang'an, which barely leaves Gao Shun's 10,000 soldiers.
"Hahaha, my lord, you are finally willing to let me out. I've been in the back these years and I'm about to suffocate." After listening to Lv Bu's words, Gao Shun suddenly laughed. He could see the flashing tears in his eyes. Over the years, Gao Shun has been staying in the rear. Every time he heard that there was a battle situation in front of him, Gao Shun was very excited. Imagine that a general who aspires to fight in the world can only stay in the rear to watch the house. How big should this general be? Lord, but Gao Shun has resisted over the years and has not complained in front of Lv Bu once, because Gao Shun understands that this is Lv Bu's trust in him. Lv Bu's hard-working territory is in the hands of others, so Gao Shun is worried.
"You have worked hard over the years. With you guarding the rear for me, I can fight outside at ease. Now that our army's territory has extended to Yanzhou, you should also go out and show it. In the face of Gao Shun, Lv Bu can also understand Gao Shun's mood. Thinking about a general who is used to galloping on the battlefield, even if he doesn't let himself charge forward, he feels a little uny, not to mention that he can't participate in the battle in a few years, but can only watch others go on an expedition.
"Lord, when will I leave?" Gao Shun asked impatiently.
"Tomorrow, tomorrow, I will ask Ma Dai to accompany you to Bingzhou, and I will equip you with 30,000 horses." Bingzhou has such a large territory. Ma Teng brought out 150,000 soldiers and horses. At this time, it was empty. He just let Gao Shun take 10,000 soldiers and horses, which was obviously a drop in the bucket. Therefore, Lv Bu decided to reorganize 30,000 soldiers and horses from Chang'an's grain soldiers and surrender troops to Gao Shun. In this way, he had already gone there. With the help of Guan Hai and Ma Dai in Taihang Mountain, there should not be much problem if you want to take Bingzhou.
Just as Lv Bu returned to Chang'an to plan how to annex the state, a heated debate was also going on in Yuan Shao's mansion in Ye City, Jizhou.
"Well, I didn't expect Cao Aman to be so bad, but in a short time, he not only lost his own Yanzhou, but also failed the plan to attack Sizhou. It's really incompetent." Yuan Shao sat on the main seat and patted the table and said. Although Cao Cao's failure did not cost Yuan Shao, it greatly changed the situation in the world. Now Lv Bu has the power of the four continents of Liangzhou, Yongzhou, Sizhou, Yanzhou, while Yuan Shao is only a part of Qingzhou, Jizhou and Youzhou. During this period, Yuan Shao has repeatedly won the war against Gongsun Zan, but It will take some time to completely solve Gongsun Zan, but at this time, Lv Bu's territory has surpassed Yuan Shao, which makes Yuan Shao really uneasy. Yuan Shao understands that as long as Lv Bu cannot be defeated in a short time, Lv Bu will become Yuan Shao's most powerful enemy in time.
"Yuan Gong don't have to be angry. He heard that Ma Teng from Bingzhou has set up troops to Chang'an. Although Lv Bu defeated Cao Cao, Ma Teng's raid was not so good." Seeing Yuan Shao's anger, Xu You stepped forward to persuade him.
"Well, if Ma Teng had the ability, he would not have been kicked out of Chang'an by Lv Bu. Lv Bu can make Ma Teng serve as Bingzhou Pastor, is he unprepared against Ma Teng?" Although Yuan Shao did not understand why Lv Bu let Ma Teng go in those years, he felt that since Lv Bu dared to let Ma Teng go, he was not afraid that Ma Teng would bite back. There must be some means.
"Lord, now Lv Bugang and Cao Cao fought, and then Ma Teng sent troops to Chang'an. Why don't our army take this opportunity to attack Yanzhou? In this way, we will definitely get a lot of gains." Guo Tu's eyes suddenly lit up and took a step forward and said to Yuan Shao.
"It's not a good idea to attack Yanzhou. Cao Cao once used Yanzhou as bait to lure our army to attack Lv Bu. At this time, Cao Cao has been defeated, and our army has also lost the best time to attack Yanzhou. What's more, Yanzhou has Chen Gong, Wu has Zhang Liao and Hua Xiong, but it is not so easy to attack. In the opinion of subordinates, it is not as good as attacking Bingzhou. Taking advantage of Ma Teng's absence and the emptyness of Bingzhou, it is best to protect Hebei first, and then attack Lv Bu in Hebei. Ju Shu was not optimistic about Guo Tu's opinion, so he said instead.
"I also think we should attack Bingzhou and stabilize the foundation of Hebei first. Not to mention that Chen Gong and others in Yanzhou are not easy to attack, how much can we attack Lv Bu if we have captured Yanzhou? Lv Bu's foundation is in the two states of Yongliang. Even if we take Yanzhou, the blow to Lv Bu is not big. However, if Lv Bu defeats Ma Teng and takes Bingzhou, then Lv Bu can attack our Jizhou anytime and anywhere. Jizhou is the foundation of our army, and there is no loss. On the contrary, if we take Bingzhou, we can Taking a detour to attack Chang'an is equivalent to holding Lv Bu's fate, so I also think that we should attack Bingzhou first. Seeing that Ju Shu and Guo Tu held their own opinions, Tian Feng stood up and said.
