Chapter 41: The First Battle of Jiaozhou
() Liu Qi was stationed in Guiyang peacefully, but the people of Jiaozhou did not have such good leisure and leisure. The governor Lai Gong, the prefect of Cangwu, Wu Ju and others were all from Liu Biao in Jingzhou. Not only were they not afraid at all, they instead ate food.
Warm welcome with a pot of slurry.
Shi Xie, headed by the prefect of Jiaozhi, was afraid of being frightened, especially the gentry. Liu Qi's slogan to fight against the gentry and safeguard the interests of the people of Jiaozhou.
In July of the fourth year of Jian'an, Liu Qi's army stationed in Guiyang, and remained in control of the army, replenishing food, grass and weapons. Guiyang's prefect's office temporarily became Liu Qi's military and government affairs center.
The small Guiyang City became the focus of wartime, and countless people and horses were coming and going. Liu Qi, dressed in white clothes and white pants in the prefect's mansion, held a folding fan in his hand, shaking it gently, and sat on the main seat. He stood on his left side
Kuai Yue, Jia Xu, Han Song, Zhuge Jin, Pang Tong, Meng Gongwei and other civil and scholars are full of knowledge, elegant temperament, and well-versed in strategy; on the right hand are all tiger generals, Huang Zhong, Zhang Xiu, Huang Zu, Li Yan, Huang Xu, Liu Pan
The generals were waiting for the tiger's back and bear's waist, with extraordinary momentum and majesticity.
Liu Qi put away the folding fan with a "pop", stood up and walked for two steps, and said, "Now my 100,000 Jingzhou troops have arrived. The first batch of food and grass has also reached Guiyang through water and land transportation. It can be used for our army.
The first phase of the war can begin. Let Shi Yuan tell you about the combat plan."
When talking about serious matters, Pang Tong's usual cynical expression was closed, his dark face also showed a bit of seriousness, and his eyes were even more energetic, emitting a light of confidence. With one finger, he pointed at the map.
The land was in demand and said, "Cangwu and Yulin were occupied by our Jingzhou people. The lord also sent someone to contact him for promotion and title, and they all expressed their support for the lord's battle. Nanhai County was Shi Xie's younger brother
The military occupied the troops of the army, and the troops under him reached 10,000. If they were temporarily recruited, with the influence of the gentry, they could at least recruit ten thousand of them."
Pang Tong paused and continued, "The capital of Nanhai County is located in Panyu City, which is six zhang high and two zhang wide. Five thousand soldiers are stationed inside, and the prefect is the military. This person is as brave as his name, but his wisdom is not enough; Zhongsu,
The four metropolis, Boluo, Longchuan and Jieyang each have one thousand troops, and the guards in the city are all under the name. It is not enough to worry about it."
"Okay, I want to fight Dingjiaozhou in this battle, and to plunder the influence of the gentry's management for decades. So that Jiaozhou will become my stable rear. Therefore, I have to attack one city and one pool, and every time I occupy one city, I will implement it.
The laws of Jingzhou and the information on registered population land have made me Liu Qi a piece of land." Liu Qi clenched his fists, his bright eyes full of yu.
"I ordered the army to set out from two routes. On the land side,,," Liu Qi paused deliberately, with a smile on his lips, looking around for a while, looking at the generals who were nervous and calm, but their eyes showed their desire. Liu Qi was satisfied with the point of satisfaction.
Nodded, and finally his eyes fell on a person. Although this person was among the generals, he exuded a literary temperament. This is Li Yan and Li Fangzheng, who is both civil and military. The deeds of Li Yan are recorded in the history of the Three Kingdoms, but there is still no
He had few negative deeds, but he could not hide his talent.
According to historical records, during Liu Bei's conquest of Yizhou, Li Yan fought with the general Huang Zhong for 30 rounds without losing his advantage. In terms of talent, two things can be reflected: one is that Liu Bei entrusted his orphans to only two people on his deathbed, and the other is that Prime Minister Zhuge Liang.
The other is the Secretary of State Li Yan; the second thing is that at that time, Lu Xun defeated Liu Bei's army and was in full swing, leaving Li Yan to station in Jiangzhou, saying that this person could be Lu Xun, which shows that he was.
At this time, Li Yanzheng was in his youth, and he was eager to make achievements and was appointed as a marquis and general. Liu Qi asked him to farm the country, but he worked diligently and did not dare to slack off at all. Now that the battle of the lord called him to come, it was time to make unparalleled military achievements!
"Li Yan!" Liu Qi's last gaze fell on Li Yan and shouted.
"The last one is here!" Li Yan stepped out excitedly and clasped his fists.
"My order: Li Yan led 10,000 troops to the army vanguard, and Huang Xu led 3,000 cavalry as deputy generals. From Lian County, he attacked Zhongsu, and four cities. In terms of waterways, he led 5,000 naval troops by general Huang Zu, and led 5,000 naval troops in the waterway.
Take the attack and support Li Yan. The army will set out immediately without any mistakes.”
"No." Li Yan, Huang Zu, and Huang Xuyingnuo said.
Liu Qi looked at the two of them and said, "I hope that when the army marched to Panyu, you have already conquered these two cities and stationed outside the city. If you come first, the task of attacking Panyu will be yours; if you are a little slower
ri, not only do you not need to attack, but you don’t even have any original contribution!!!” Order chief clerk Jiang Wan wrote the appointment document and delivered the Tiger Fu military order.
"The last general will definitely attack the city and live up to the lord's expectations." Li Yan shouted, his momentum shook the sky, like a tiger.
Liu Qi laughed loudly, and liked his subordinates' unyielding and brave fighting spirit.
Li Yan took the document, tiger talisman, and the military orders did not stop and directly met Huang Xu. Huang Zu went straight to the camp to lead the troops. The vanguard army set off immediately.
After half a mile, Liu Qi also led a large army to set off, first passing through Hanrun and Ganyang to Panyu. Although it was a little far away, it greatly saved manpower and animal power.
When the flowers bloomed, each showed their own branches. Li Yan was in a vanguard of the army this time, and his mood was quite exciting. Seeing other generals making achievements, Li Yan was also itchy when he was granted official position and was given a title. He talked to Deputy General Huang Xu all the way.
Guiyang is only a hundred miles away from Zhongsu, and it can be reached in two ri. Although Li Yan was excited, he was very steady in his work, otherwise Liu Qi would not treat him differently. He marched steadily and took advantage of the guard after arriving at Zhongsu City.
Before the general could react, he ordered the eight thousand army to be divided into four battalions, attacking together in the east, west, south and north. Li Yan personally beat the drums and marched, and Zhang Xiu led the cavalry to supervise the battle. Those who dared to retreat would be killed and the army was solemn.
There were only a thousand defenders in the city. Although the Jiaozhou garrison heard the news and knew that Liu Qi from Jingzhou led a large army to invade the territory. However, he believed that there was natural danger in rivers and mountains, so he did not pay much attention. As a result, Li Yan led his troops to attack and was in a hurry. He only obtained the siege for a long time.
Jing was five hundred and strong. He didn't do much effort, but was captured by Li Yan in just half a day. He also killed the defending soldiers.
Huang Xu, the cavalry commander, was bored by the sight. The enemy's strength was too poor and he didn't even get any credit. Li Yan simply handled the things and prisoners in the city, sent someone to report the victory to Guiyang, and asked someone to manage it.
Seeing that the city was unprepared, Li Yan discussed with Huang Xu and led three thousand cavalrymen to attack Sihui City before the news of Zhongsu City had spread. Huang Xu hit it off and led the cavalrymen to the Sihui City for half a mi.
The city gate opened, and the defenders did not know at all. It turned out that the defenders were careless and did not even send out scouts. Li Yan took the opportunity to attack the city and overturned the defenders who came to fight with one arrow, and the rest surrendered.
Li Yan's infantry lost only hundreds of soldiers in two cities in just three days, and the cavalry did not lose one man or one horse.
