Chapter 632 Letters are all trapped
Tian Feng frowned slightly and thought for a moment. Then he agreed. There were 20,000 defenders in the city, and a thousand people out of the city were nothing, and the thieves raged around Xindu. If after Yuan Shao came back, Xu You said something in front of him, it was still a little troublesome. Tian Feng was very decent for Xu You's mouth. Will.
"Well, send a thousand people out of the city to suppress the thieves."
"Lord Tian is so profound and righteous that the merchants in Jizhou will definitely be grateful." When it was done, Xu You didn't mind to praise Tian Feng.
"Hence." Xu You was about to go out. When he heard the cry behind him, he thought that Tian Feng had noticed something.
"Is a thousand people enough?"
Tian Feng's next words made Xu You's heart suddenly fall. After greeting Tian Feng, he sent the generals out of the city. The general who led the troops was Xu You's cronies. Before leaving, Xu You told the generals to follow Gan Ning's instructions.
The general is Xu Guang, a confidant of Xu You. He is also a member of the clan, so Xu You is also very relieved. Otherwise, he will offend the Xiliang Army. After Jia Rong occupies Jizhou and settles accounts with him after autumn, the gains will not be worth the loss. Since he has decided to return to the Xiliang Army, Xu You does not plan to give up halfway. Love, and the demeanor shown by Yuan Shao at the time of the war, made Xu You more determined to turn to Jia Rong. The city guarded by 80,000 people was actually afraid of more than 30,000 Xiliang troops, which was a big joke.
After Xu Guang left the city, he followed Gan Ning's instructions all the way. When it was dark, he still did not reach the so-called bandits, which was inevitably a little unhappy.
"Your Excellency, when will we arrive?" Xu Guang came forward and asked.
Gan Ning smiled and said, "Don't worry, the bandits are still some distance away from us. Let the brothers relax. Don't be nervous. There are only more than a hundred people. Lord Xu asked me to bring you here. In fact, it is to let you have some achievements. In the future, when the Lord returns to Xindu, you will be rewarded for your achievements. Ours."
Xu Guang was overjoyed when he heard the words and thanked him repeatedly, but Gan Ning's words made him look down on Gan Ning with no cultural connotation.
It was completely dark. Gan Ning saw the tiredness on the soldier's face and ordered, "Take a rest here tonight and wait until tomorrow."
Gan Ning's words made the soldiers in the team secretly relieved. If they marched all the way to the place of the thieves, I don't know if they still have the strength to fight with the enemy. They are soldiers in the army. In the face of thieves like wolves and tigers, there is still some fear in their hearts.
In the middle of the night, the camp was so quiet that more than a thousand people came outside the camp, and there was still no soldiers to notice it.
Gan Ning drugged the soldiers' meals, and the soldiers fell asleep, and there was no sense of it.
Xu Guang did not eat the medicine meal. Seeing that so many strange faces suddenly appeared in the army, he immediately pulled out the sword around his waist and shouted, "Who are you? Come on, take these out."
Gan Ning flashed from behind and smiled, "General Xu, you don't have to shout. This is all my men and horses. With honest cooperation, your glory and wealth are indispensable."
"You?" Xu Guang looked at Gan Ning in disbelief. Before leaving, Xu You repeatedly told him to obey Gan Ning's command.
"That's right. Lord Xu must have said something in front of the general." After Gan Ning finished his words, he turned his eyes to Xu Huang and said, "General Xu, order the soldiers to act quickly. Everything is tonight. Don't be lost."
The next day, when it was about to be dark, Xu Guang led nearly 800 soldiers to victory. The dry blood stains on the soldiers' clothes showed that they had indeed experienced a big war before, and even the flags were a little dirty.
As the master of the city, Tian Feng naturally has to conduct a strict inspection of the teams entering the city, even if these soldiers have gone out of the city before.
After seeing the situation of the soldiers, Tian Feng couldn't bear to let the team stay outside the city overnight. He ordered to open the gate and let the team enter the city. This is Xindu, the center of the Jizhou army. Even if the Xiliang army has great skills, it is impossible to touch it here. Moreover, from the intelligence, Tian Feng learned that the Jizhou army occupied the war. It's the upper hand, and now we are planning a counterattack.
After Gan Ning and Xu Huang entered the army, they did not take immediate action. With Xu You's cooperation, they only need to firmly control Tian Feng and then issue orders. It is not feasible to blindly rely on brute force to do things.
"Your Excellency, Lord Xu, please see me." When the bodyguard heard that Xu You came, he hurried to Tian Feng's residence to report.
"Let him in." Although Xindu City is stable, there are many trivial things. Yuan Shao is fighting with the Xiliang Army in front of him. The equipment of grain and fodder materials and other issues have to pass through Tian Feng's hands. For more than ten days in a row, Tian Feng has not slept.
"Lord Xu came so late, and I don't know what's going on?" Tian Feng asked without raising his head.
"I'm here for the affairs of Jizhou." Xu You said lightly, and there was no respect in his tone.
"Oh." Tian Feng put down the things in his hand, looked up at Xu You, looked at the person behind Xu You, and asked puzzledly, "Who are these two?"
"Gan Ning, the general of Xiliang."
"Xu Huang, the general of the Xiliang Legion."
The two reported to their homes, so that Tian Feng did not react for a while. After a while, they pointed to Xu Huang and Gan Ning and said, "Are you from the Xiliang Army? How did you get in?" Poor Tian Feng, he still doesn't know that Xu You has secretly connected with the Xiliang Army and sold Jizhou.
"It was I who brought them. I have something important to discuss with Lord Tian." Xu Youdao.
"You, Xu You, your seller's pursuit of glory is bound to be despised by the world." Tian Feng gritted his teeth and pointed to Xu You and said that he was not afraid that the enemy was strong, but that there would be moles in his own camp and collusion with the enemy. All of the time, he really relied on the strength of the army to capture the city. Through the scene in front of him, if Tian Feng did not understand what happened, it would be in vain.
"It's not up to Lord Tian to worry about my affairs." Xu You said coldly that he had been looking down at Tian Feng for some time, and he was already a little angry.
"Lord Tian, at this point, it's better to hand over the power in your hand, so that everyone will not look good at that time." Xu Huang came forward and said, "It's better for a talent like Lord Tian to be produced by King Liang himself at that time."
Tian Feng was unwilling. He looked outside the door and his eyes turned slightly.
"Lord Tian, you don't have to think about anything else. Even if you break your throat, I'm afraid no soldier will come to the rescue." Gan Ning laughed.
After a few steps back weakly, Tian Feng's face turned pale. Has Jizhou's efforts for many years have been in vain because of Xu You's rebellion? He knows very well what kind of consequences will happen if the power comes to Xu You and others? What Jizhou will face is a disaster.
The order from Jizhou was sent to various places quickly. After receiving the order from the boss, the county magistrates in various places did not doubt that he was there, sticking to the city and constantly transporting food and fodder to Xindu. At this time, in a critical period of the war, the news of the victory of the Jizhou army on the front line was widely spread in Jizhou.
After the food and grass gathered in Xindu, there was no order to issue. In less than seven days, Yuan Shao on the front line became anxious. Food and grass were the foundation of the army. There was no food and grass. No matter how strong an army was, there was only one way to defeat.
"What's wrong with Tian Feng? There has been no food and fodder for so many days. The Jizhou Army has been smooth these days. In the first few days, it didn't feel anything, but today's grain and fodder in the army are only enough for three days. Once there is a problem with the grain and fodder, the war does not have to continue.
"Master, maybe there is a delay on the road. Lord Tian has always been cautious in doing things. It is expected that there will be no mistake." Ju Shu went forward. He knows Tian Feng's character very well. He is an upright person and a trustworthy person.
"Well, I hope so. Order the soldiers to go to the letter to urge food." Yuan Shaodao.
After a glance at the letter in his hand, Jia Rong outside the city handed it to Guo Jia with a smile on his face.
"Congratulations, Lord, Jizhou is just around the corner." Guo Jia said goodbye.
"Well, after occupying Jizhou, you are all meritorious officials." Jia Rong said with a smile.
The generals in the field are unknown. Only a few high-level figures can know the special means of the Xiliang Army to deal with Jizhou.
"Gentlemen, we will attack the giant deer with all our strength tomorrow, and the reinforcements will arrive in three days." Jia Rongdao.
People are in high spirits when they are happy, but now Jizhou is already under control. They only need to drag Yuan Shao back, and the Xiliang army will no longer have to hide their clumsiness.
The Xiliang army, which had been huddled in the barracks for days, was dispatched, which made Yuan Shao slightly surprised. At the same time, there was no doubt that he ordered the army to come forward to fight.
It was just the result of this battle, which made Yuan Shao a little difficult to accept. The Xiliang army dispatched 500 cavalry and killed 1,000 of its own infantry. There were only more than 200 soldiers returning to the city. The cavalry was fast. Many soldiers were cut off by the cavalry before they could return to the city. They had to choose outside the city. Surrender.
Two days later, Yuan Shao couldn't sit still. The food and fodder in the army were completely cut off after today, and there was still no news from Xindu. No matter how he persuaded him, Yuan Shao could not let go.
"Lord, don't send General Yan to Xindu to investigate." Ju Shudao.
"Well, it's not too late. Let's go today." Yuan Shao said in a hurry.
"Order the giant deer counties to escort grain and fodder to come without neglecting."
The defenders in the city did not know that the army was about to cut off food. They were still discussing the recent war. During this period, the Jizhou army had the upper hand, but in yesterday's battle, it was defeated by the Xiliang army, and more than 700 soldiers were left outside the city.
A large amount of food and fodder are hoarded in Xindu. In a few days, with the help of Xu You, Xu Huang and Gan Ning temporarily controlled the army in the city. Almost all the generals in the army were replaced by people of the Xiliang Army, which is estimated to be the fastest promotion of official positions in the history of the Xiliang Army.
