Chapter 442 Pioneer Zhao Yun
Huang Zhong was stunned. He didn't expect that Guo Jia still had the experience of borrowing money from Jia Rong. He hugged and said, "This is the intention of a humble position. Money is something outside the body. It's not enough to worry about, not enough."
Looking at Huang Zhong's painful appearance, he had to pretend to be disapproving. Guo Jia smiled and said, "Don't call me a humble position in front of me. You are the marching commander, and I'm just a military division. In terms of position, I am a humble position."
"In this way, I will often follow General Huang in the future. General Huang is rich." Guo Jia ridiculed.
Huang Zhong's face turned red, and he also knew in his heart that Guo Jia was a very easy-going person, but he preferred to tease people.
The two of them held a bottle of wine and two plates of side dishes to discuss the march. Before long, a bottle of wine came to the bottom.
Huang Zhong looked at Guo Jia with an embarrassed face. This bottle of wine was almost drunk by Guo Jia. He tasted it lightly every time. He felt that the world-famous wine was actually not very good. It was not as good as ordinary wine, and there was no taste of wine at all.
Guo Jia smiled and said, "Let's go, General Huang, I'll take you to Fenglailou for a meal. It's my treat!"
"It's better to obey than to obey!" Thinking of Guo Jia's squeeze just now, Huang Zhong secretly decided to eat and drink wildly later to see how Guo Jia jumped.
Fenglailou is one of the famous restaurants in Chang'an. The food in it is expensive, but it is really delicious. Huang Zhong first came to Fenglailou when he first came to Chang'an, and Jia Rong picked him up.
Guo Jia is an acquaintance of Fenglai Building. As soon as he entered the door, Xiao Er came forward to entertain him. Guo Jia skillfully reported the name of a few dishes and asked for a VIP room.
Looking at the decoration in the VIP room, Huang Zhong opened his eyes. When he came to Chang'an, Chang'an was waiting for a lot of waste. The restaurant was not decorated much, but now it is already magnificent, more than many times better than his own nest.
"General Huang, sit down!" Guo Jia knelt down in the opposite position and said hello.
Huang Zhong untied the sword at his waist, took a breath, and touched his waist inexplicably. The money in the money bag was definitely not enough to eat here.
"General Huang, this time the lord intends to capture Dai County. After a series of wars in the county, Yan Rou has only 50,000 troops, and his control over Dai County is very weak, and there are tens of thousands of soldiers from Yuan Shao in Zhuo County." Guo Jiadao.
When talking about business, Huang Zhong put away his thoughts and looked serious.
"I don't know what you think of General Huang in Youzhou?" Guo Jia asked.
"The soldiers of the Xiliang Army are all elite, and the Youzhou army is not worried, but it is difficult to guarantee that the Yuan army in Zhuo County will have a strange movement. The general of Zhuo County is a famous general under Yuan Shao's command." Huang Zhongdao.
Guo Jia nodded slightly. There is also a certain reason why Huang Zhong can be selected by Jia Rong. It seems that Huang Zhong has already studied the situation in Youzhou.
After that, the two kept discussing the battle to be carried out. Guo Jia's strategy often made Huang Zhong refreshing. In his opinion, there were some difficult problems. In Guo Jia's mouth, it was simply nothing. It was solved in a few words. However, the strategy given by Guo Jia was often a dangerous move. If he took the wrong step, he lost the game. This time he followed. Half of Huang Zhong's soldiers in the battle were newly trained recruits who had not been on the battlefield for a long time. Naturally, they would not adopt Guo Jia's strategy. They marched steadily. Huang Zhong was confident that he would complete the task assigned by Jia Rong.
After eating a meal for more than an hour, I drank five bottles of wine. Huang Zhong's wine was already good. Under the intention of eating and drinking, he naturally spent money like running water.
"A total of 33,000 yuan." The second child of the store reported a number with a plain face.
Huang Zhong was not only stunned. This Fenglai Building was indeed a place to burn money. At the same time, he was secretly shocked and decided that he would never come to Fenglai Building in the future. It was too tricky. Huang Zhong estimated that he had not spent so much money for this meal since he was a child.
Guo Jia smiled and said, "I didn't bring enough money today. It's recorded in the general's account."
The shopkeeper seemed to be used to Guo Jia's style and nodded.
After Xiao Er left, Huang Zhong couldn't help saying, "Is it recorded in the general's account?"
Guo Jia laughed and said, "General Huang, after winning the battle, there will be some bonuses to pay off the account. The general once said that money is something outside his body, and I hope to support it."
Huang Zhong was ashamed and hurriedly left with his fist.
Looking at the back of Huang Zhong's hurried departure, Guo Jia's cynical look gradually converge and frowned. This elderly veteran is definitely extraordinary, the strategy is regular, which makes people impeccable, and he is quite insightful about the military.
Three days later, Zhao Yun took the lead in leading 3,000 soldiers to leave Chang'an, with 2,500 infantry and 500 cavalry.
Due to the financial difficulties of the Xiliang Army, it is impossible to consume too many cavalry at one time. Many war horses were even sent to the grassland and handed over to the herdsmen for temporary custody. There are 20,000 cavalry on hand. If you look at the whole world, 20,000 cavalry is definitely a big deal.
Looking at the five hundred cavalry behind him, Zhao Yun couldn't help laughing. These five hundred cavalry were still under his soft and hard bubble. Jia Rong, for the sake of being the commander of the blood guard for many years, Jia Rong gave the five hundred blood guards, the same big horse machete, and the armor on his body are all the latest plate armor made by the workshop. Looking at the whole world. There are few people who can be comparable.
He held the sword around his waist with his left hand, and the gentian gun held high and said, "Forward!"
Three thousand soldiers marched, only the sound of horses' hoofs and footsteps.
"The guard in the city will go out of the city to answer!" Zhao Yunyun was full of strength and shouted loudly.
There are only 500 defenders in Lingqiu County. Originally, the county magistrate wanted to resist to the death, but he was tied up by the generals in the army, opened the gate and surrendered to the Xiliang Army. Over the years, through the word of mouth of the people, the Xiliang Army has become a division of benevolence and righteousness, rather than the previous tyrannical army, and the commander treats the people like a son.
He won Lingqiu without fighting. Zhao Yun appeased the people in the city, placed officials to govern, and led the soldiers to continue to advance to the county. The army was very fast. This time, the Xiliang army sent troops with a surprise heart. When Yan Rou did not react, he stabilized the overall situation and later occupied the county.
In ten days of hard work, Zhao Yun got the land of three counties in a row, and the soldiers pointed straight to Beipingyi. After passing Beipingyi, he could attack the county city, and the matter of Youzhou was settled.
The general of Beipingyi is Yan Rou's cronies. He guarded the city and resisted to the death.
The 3,000 soldiers under the command of Zhao Yun were only pioneers. In addition, they left soldiers to guard the counties along the way. At this time, there were only 2,000 people without siege equipment, so they had to lead troops to station outside the city.
Under the leadership of Zhao Yun, 500 cavalry rushed to Peipingyi, near the city. The cavalry skillfully took bows and arrows and shot at the city wall. Some excellent archery cavalry can shoot two arrows, or even three arrows, in the time of shooting one arrow by others.
The commanding soldiers alone shot a sparse arrow rain to resist and fell on the blood guard, which could only arouse a lot of sparks. In the face of such a group of cavalry that even horses were protecting, the defenders had no choice.
The arrows shot into the city were full of the persuasion letter of the Xiliang Army. Zhao Yun believed that within a day, the content of the letter would spread in the city.
He picked up the arrows handed over by the soldiers, glanced at the contents of the letter, and said angrily, "The Xiliang army dares to spread rumors here and collect all the arrows in the city, but those who violate the order will be killed without mercy!"
"Strictly monitor the people in the city!" I just want to add.
The soldier hugged his fist and went away.
Zhao Yun heard the letter of persuasion to the city in the military class. He secretly remembered it in his heart. He didn't expect it to be used in Beipingyi, but I don't know what the real effect is. If the people don't suffer any great suffering, they will generally not rise up and fight against the defenders. This is also the servility in the hearts of the people, even if A strong man is no exception.
The people in the city were panicked. A team of armored soldiers walked on the street. When the people learned of the arrival of the Xiliang Army, they were secretly happy, but at the same time, they were afraid of the arrogant soldiers. The life of the people under the Xiliang Army was spread of Xianlian Pavilion, which was not a secret for the Han Dynasty.
It's one thing to be moved, but it's another to really have the courage to do it. There are thousands of defenders in Peipingyi. If you are not careful, you will die.
Zhao Yun's 2,000 vanguard troops camped outside the city, arranging antler barriers, and the patrolling soldiers kept coming and going, staring at Beipingyi vigilantly.
The next day, Zhao Yun led the blood guard to the outside of the city to show off his power. The blood guard is worthy of being the elite of the Xiliang Army. Even the kung fu of scolding is unique, which shocked Zhao Yun. Usually, I didn't see these soldiers have this ability, especially one of the Qiang cavalrymen. The Chinese Qiang language combined with scolding, scolding Jinjin. It's interesting. Although I don't understand it well, I also know that it's not a good word. One Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven. He is a general and has his own glory. He has never suffered such cowardice, but thinking about the strength of the Xiliang Army, he has to quietly bury his dissatisfaction in his heart, tighten the city defense every day, and pay close attention to the movement in the city.
I have to say that the psychological endurance of the Youzhou army in the city is really good. I didn't dare to go out of the city to fight. If it were Yuan Jun, I'm afraid I would have been out of the city for a long time.
In the single letter for help, Xianyu silver sent 2,000 soldiers to rescue. There were 3,000 soldiers in the city, plus 2,000 people. It was very simple to defend Beipingyi in Xianyuyin. The Xiliang army was brave, but the Youzhou army also had the advantage of the city. You can never use cavalry to hit the city. With reinforcements, you are also confident. I was very excited to think that the world-famous Xiliang Army would break the halberd under the city of Peipingyi.
Although the people in the city were panicked, they did not reach the point where the people rose up and opened the gate to welcome the Xiliang Army. Moreover, I was quite capable. The general's power was tightly grasped in his hand and could not stand it. At the Xiliang army scolded outside the city, Zhao Yun had the intention to attack Beipingyi, but the army lacked equipment to attack the city, so he had to wait for Huang Zhong. The army is coming.
Half a month later, Huang Zhong led the people to come and began to camp in an orderly manner.
Looking at the busy figure outside the city, an idea suddenly flashed from my mind, "Lead the troops out of the city and hit the new Xiliang Army head-on." However, when he saw the leisurely 500 cavalry beside him, he quietly put away this idea, which was not inferior to the white horse Yicong, who used to cross the battlefield. Even if he went out of the city with 3,000 infantry, I'm afraid he could not be successful.
