Chapter 83: The army moves forward, Zhang Liao is afraid of fighting

 The night passed quickly.

When it gets slightly brighter.

The 10,000 vanguard troops led by Zhang Liao outside the city took the lead in breaking out of camp and setting off.

Yuan Shu and Lu Bu's 30,000-strong Chinese army followed closely behind.

The ministers under his command wanted to dissuade Yuan Shu from such urgent behavior.

It's a pity that all of them were driven out by His Majesty's personal guards with sticks.

Yuan Shu has always been a headstrong person.

Once a decision is made, no one under the command is allowed to disobey it.

Even he himself thinks it may be wrong.

We have to wait until the real discovery is made before we can talk about how to save it.

Especially after being brainwashed by the talisman presented by Lu Bu, Yuan Shu's arbitrary behavior became even more serious.

Except for his cheap adopted son Lu Bu, he couldn't listen to anyone's opinion at all.

If Lu Bu hadn't been a normal man with a wife.

Those ministers who suddenly fell out of favor secretly suspected that Lu Bu had used some silver magic to charm the emperor.

It is no easy task to mobilize an entire army of 50,000.

Just for food and grass logistics, tens of thousands of migrant workers have to be mobilized.

There were far from enough young men in Huainan City, so the remaining gaps were sent to nearby counties for conquest.

Then there were young men and women, but the military rations were not enough.

Then he continued to go to the homes of ordinary people in Huainan for "secondment".

Although Yuan Shu's original intention was to ask for money and food from those wealthy families.

But how could the cunning family take out money from the small treasury they had finally accumulated?

They are also eager to take this opportunity to make more war fortune.

So the people below disobeyed orders and passed on all the needs of the army to ordinary people.

Not only did he double Yuan Shu’s original request, but he also enriched his private pockets.

Taking greed to the extreme.

Let the dignitaries of the aristocratic families do this, and the people of Huainan will contribute their talents and efforts.

Anyone who dares to disobey will be arrested for hard labor or killed on the spot as a warning to monkeys.

For a time, families and children were scattered all over the area around Huainan.

And the person who takes the blame is of course the one and only emperor Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu's unpopular behavior aggravated the people's dislike of him.

Some ambitious people in the court saw this, but they did not dare to advise Yuan Shu.

All because Yuan Shu, who was about to move his army at this time, couldn't bear to hear a bad word.

No one dares to risk his life and offend the emperor.

As a pioneer general, Zhang Liao sighed while riding on his horse when he saw the turmoil and decline in people's livelihood along the way.

Yuan Shu's tyranny has already led to death.

Not only the people throughout Huainan City are complaining.

Even people in neighboring counties and counties began to evacuate with their families.

Although the great battle has not yet been fought, the surrounding people have already experienced the pain of losing their city and their family.

It is really hard for the people to prosper, and it will also be hard for the people to die.

The march of 50,000 people was so majestic that it was naturally difficult to hide their traces.

Jiang Yan, who was far away in Shouchun City, soon received the news from the spies ahead.

These spies have quite special identities.

They were all Yuan Jun soldiers who returned to Shouchun after defeating Zhang Xun's troops that day.

After being fooled by Cang Ci, he immediately transformed into Jiang Xin and Yuan Pi's "second devil".

These traitors who fled back with the defeated army worked really hard to sell out their original owners.

Sold all Yuan Jun's troops, food and fodder reserves, etc.

Jiang Yan also discovered it at that time.

It turns out that Cang Ci, who likes to do good deeds every day, actually has the ability to engage in intelligence.

Cang Ci can manage all the logistics and miscellaneous affairs of a county in an orderly manner, so he must be very clever and thoughtful.

It's just that his stubborn personality makes him not tactful enough in dealing with others.

But he is careful enough in his work, which is actually an advantage in intelligence work.

Jiang Yan assigned the intelligence work to Cang Ci.

In fact, the main reason is that Jiang Yan is short of men at this time, and can only reluctantly pull out a tall person among a group of short winter melons.

Xiahou Dun, the only famous person in Shouchun's army, was still a prisoner who refused to surrender.

Except for Ma Cai, Jiang Yan is indeed a bit short on talents.

Cang Ci and Shu Shao are both strange.

When the Lord learned that Yuan Shu had raised 50,000 troops to attack.

His expression was calm and calm, with no signs of anxiety.

It was in sharp contrast to the anxiety and worry on their faces.

With a smile on his face, Jiang Yan carefully read the urgent secret message brought back by the spy in his hand.

Then throw it casually on the table.

There was even a hint of anticipation on his face.

It’s like I’ve been waiting for this moment to arrive.

Shu and Shao were left scratching their heads.

"No need to panic, I already have a plan."

"If they want to come, it's up to them. If they want to come back then, it won't be up to them."

Jiang Yan glanced at his two nervous subordinates and took the initiative to comfort them.

These words sound so familiar.

Shu Shao felt as if he had heard similar words from his master just a few days ago.

The strong sense of confidence exuding from the Lord at this moment has been faintly infected by him.

Yes.

When Zhang Xun came with 20,000 elite troops, the Lord said the same thing.

Shu Shao finally remembered.

And everyone has witnessed the final result.

With only 400 horses, the Lord defeated Zhang Xun's 20,000 elite soldiers.

That battle was a miracle.

Even when he thinks about it now, he finds it incredible.

Thought of here.

Shu Shao looked at the seemingly omnipotent Lord with reverence and admiration.

After these few days of contact,

The halo around the Lord has not dimmed because of the gradual understanding.

Instead, he became taller and more mysterious.

He really wanted to know how many earth-shattering things the Lord could do.

And I will be an eyewitness who always follows the Lord.

Just thinking about it like this makes me feel a sense of pride.

At this time, Jiang Yanruo uses the "Eye of Bole" to check.

You will find that Shu Shao's favorability towards him has been significantly improved.

As for Cangci, it’s still the same.

The subordinates who have not been thoroughly brainwashed just think simply.

Cang Ci, who loves practical benefits, is more like an ambitious gambler.

Otherwise, I would not have been able to do the bold move of breaking out of jail and overcoming the wall several times.

If it were a prefect who was decisive and decisive in killing, the head on his neck would have been moved.

In Cangci’s understanding,

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

In fact, in many things, the higher the risk, the greater the reward.

Only by paying enough can you have the opportunity to get equal rewards.

Since the Lord is acting so confident now.

Then you dare to take a big gamble with your master.

If you lose, you will lose your head together at most.

If you win,

Cang Ci will be the biggest official in Yangzhou in the future, except for the two people in front of him.

The minister who supports the dragon is beyond words.

Jiang Yan has actually been observing quietly and secretly.

He saw in the eyes of these two people their confidence and determination in him.

He was quite satisfied with this.

This shows that the pie he drew before was very successful, and he has at least two partners who are willing to risk their lives to follow him.

Even if they have only five thousand infantry in Shouchun at this time,

It is still considered weak among the powerful princes, but it has already become a leader.

Time is like a couple who has been together for a long time, passing faster and faster.

No matter how slow the 50,000-strong army marches,

Zhang Liao's 10,000 vanguard troops arrived 40 miles away from Shouchun County two days later.

But he had already heard that Jiang Yan had taken Zhang Xun's four thousand defeated troops for his own use.

At this time, the entire Shouchun army, including the original strength, had reached five thousand.

The key is the Roma Camp, which was able to defeat Zhang Xun's 20,000 elite soldiers with hundreds of troops.

Therefore, Zhang Liao did not attack easily just because he had twice the opponent's strength.

Even if he thinks that just talking about military tactics, no one in Shouchun can compare with him.

But the invincible Roma camp posed a great threat to him.

The detailed information reported by previous spies made him feel frightened just by hearing about it.

He couldn't think of a way to counterattack and win after being attacked by the opponent during the march.

Unless he lets his infantry move forward at a rapid pace in a formation of iron barrels.

If you do that, you will be overwhelmed by the highly mobile horse.

In this case, he might as well stay here.

This place is forty miles away from Shouchun County, and there are many low hills that can be used for garrisoning.

I understand that the rogue camp would not dare to attack easily.

In other words, he now has twice as many troops as Zhang Xun did at the beginning.

How dare he start the war alone?

Zhang Liao was really afraid that his ten thousand men would not be able to defeat the enemy on the plains lined with cavalry.

Moreover, what Lu Bu said to him before still rings in his ears.

Naturally, I would rather have no success than make mistakes easily.

So Zhang Liao planned to set up camp here and set up his battle array.

Let’s wait until Yuan Shu’s Chinese army arrives later.

He also specially asked people to arrange a considerable number of anti-horses in front of the camp.

To prevent a sneak attack from the Roma Camp.

Zhang Liao, who has just arrived, does not intend to attack the city immediately.
