Chapter three hundred and seventeen
His big rough hands scooped up a pool of water from the wooden basin and poured it on the bright steel knife.
A middle-aged man with a thick beard and long, yellow and unkempt hair tied behind his head with an earth-yellow scarf. He sat on a tree stump with a golden knife on his thick thigh, and concentrated on grinding his hands.
steel knife.
The desolate sound of horns resounded through the huge camp where he was, the heavy footsteps of infantry running back and forth, the dull sound of horse hooves on the ground, and the collision of armor and swords intertwined into a gentle and gentle song around him.
A grand military symphony.
However, the bearded man was only immersed in the sharp steel knife in his hand.
To be precise, I am only immersed in the sharp edge of the steel knife...
The footsteps, which were deliberately slow but still hurried, came from far and near. A messenger with an order flag on his back quickly walked in front of the bearded man. He knelt down on one knee and clasped his fists and said: "Commander, report from the direction of Poyang.
General Jiang captures Poyang!"
The bearded man's eyes were vacant. He held up the bright steel knife with his right hand. He gently moved the blade with the thumb of his left hand to test the edge. Then he placed the steel knife horizontally on the whetstone unsatisfied, grinding it carefully without any headache.
He raised his head and asked: "We only captured Poyang? Where is Liu Ji's son?"
"Coming back to the commander-in-chief, General Jiang sent back the battle report, but he did not mention the name of the enemy general Liu Ji!"
When the bearded man heard this, he put a little force on his sharpening hand and crushed the corner of the whetstone.
"If you fall short of the mark, you still have the dignity to ask for credit... a waste!"
He gave a low expressionless expression, but his fierce eyes flashed with unconcealable anger!
He didn't know how much thought he put into it, but he finally managed to pull off this situation, bringing Liu Jijun's main force into the Changshan line to fight him, and gaining the opportunity to raid Liu Jijun's base camp Poyang from the waterway!
I never thought that Jiang Zhen would be such a waste, that he would only capture the city with such a good opportunity and let the little official Liu Ji go...
If you can't capture Liu Ji, what's the use of simply capturing Poyang?
Although Liu Jijun is a rabble, no matter how rabble he is, he still has a total of 150,000 soldiers and horses!
At this time K eN*sH*ufaN**M Zhang Si was nearly three times as many as the 50,000 elite soldiers under his command!
With such a disparity in military strength, it would not be surprising if Liu Ji avoided fighting and fought for three to five years without deciding the outcome!
If he had enough time, he could also adopt the strategy of clearing out the enemy, gradually reducing Liu Jijun's space for movement, and forcing Liu Ji to take the initiative to start a decisive battle.
But how could he have so much time to waste time arguing with Liu Ji?
Next to him squatted a Han Ting who was watching eagerly!
Once the Han court comes to an end, no matter whether they attack Xuzhou or Yangzhou, even if the wise and wise masters have good plans and are prepared in advance, the Xuzhou Yellow Turban Army will definitely not be able to take advantage of them!
It’s better to rely on yourself than anyone else!
Ren Xiao remained silent, thinking about countermeasures...
Since the strategy of capturing the thief first and capturing the king has failed, it is impossible to defeat Liu Jijun quickly!
But I definitely can’t continue to compete with Liu Jijun step by step like this.
Although the enemy general Zhou Bo is not well-known, he is indeed an expert in commanding troops and has made rapid progress. If we face him again like this, the outcome will be unpredictable...
'In a time of great strife, dragons and snakes rise from the land!'
Ren Xiao sighed deeply in his heart, but his eyes became more and more fierce.
"Pass this commander's military order, Jiang Zhen's troops will pursue Liu Ji at all costs!"
"Pass this commander's military orders, make food at the wrong time, break out the stronghold at the Shen time, and launch an attack at the You time!"
Ren Xiao said every sentence with an expressionless face.
Counting time, Jiang Zhen's battle report was sent back to the camp, and Liu Ji's letter asking for help should also have been sent to Zhou Bo's camp.
As long as Jiang Zhen can hold Liu Ji to death, Zhou Bo will send troops to come back for reinforcements!
At that time, if he leads the army to attack again, Zhou Bo's tribe will undoubtedly be defeated!
Even if Zhou Bo could withstand Liu Ji's pressure and maintain his position against him, he could also have Jiang Zhen's troops attack from both sides and besiege Zhou Bo's troops!
'A crowd of 150,000?'
'It's just a rabble!'
Ren Xiao thought with disdain.
If more people were more useful, his 250,000-strong army would not have been blocked by Meng Tian's 50,000 soldiers and horses at Dangshan Mountain, and would not be able to achieve even an inch of success for the rest of the year!
If more people were useful, how could the Han Dynasty be as powerful as it is today? Think back to the time when the red army under Chen Sheng only numbered 30,000 to 50,000 soldiers and horses, and no one thought of Chen Jun as a piece of cake.
Look at the Han Dynasty today. There are 300,000 armored men under his command. In the land of nine counties, tigers dominate one side. They are as powerful as the Taiping Road. The other Han Dynasty must be cautious again and again!
There are so many people, so useless!
It depends on who the person is and what kind of general he is!
"only!"
The ordering soldier responded loudly, bowed in high spirits and hurried away!
Xuzhou Yellow Turban Army regarded Ren Xiao as an invincible god.
…
Meng Tian, whose soldiers were in neat order and sitting high on the commander's tent, looked at Chen Feng below with a friendly look and asked softly: "Director Chen, how is the progress?"
Chen Feng, who was under the tent, clasped his fists respectfully and reported: "To the general, our special operations department has sent five hundred agents to Xiapi. We can seize the Xiapi city gate at any time as long as the general gives the order!"
Meng Tian hurriedly stood up and helped Chen Feng up. He chuckled and said: "Director Chen, why are you so outspoken? I have heard Director Chen's name for a long time, and I have been close to him for a long time. It's a pity that we are only one-sided. Now it is rare to work together with Director Chen. How can Director Chen be so polite?"
, but they treat me, Meng Tian, as an outsider!"
He is just straight, not stupid.
How could one not know what status Chen Feng, who was born in the Chen family, held in the Han court and in Chen Sheng's heart?
If Chen Feng sticks to his duty, that's because Chen Feng is sensible.
If he really pretends to be a general, then he is ignorant!
Chen Feng said quickly: "The general has defeated the last general..."
Meng Tianyang raised his eyes pretending to be displeased: "Huh?"
Chen Feng had no choice but to swallow back the words he had not yet spoken, and said with a gentle smile, "My brother has great respect for General Meng, and I have long wanted to listen to the general's teachings..."
Meng Tian said "hmm" again, shook his head in displeasure and said, "Director Chen still doesn't regard me, Meng Tian, as one of his own!"
Chen Feng took a sip, smiled and cupped his hands and said: "That's okay, then I'll forgive you for being rude!"
Meng Tian finally smiled and patted Chen Feng on the shoulder: "This is right!"
He personally took Chen Feng's arm and asked him to sit down, and asked: "I'm not worried about the city gate, but Ge Ying..."
Chen Feng smiled indifferently and said softly: "Brother Meng, there is no need to worry. As early as when my eldest brother ordered me to investigate the special battle situation in Xiapi and Ge Ying wanted to lead the army, my younger brother could teach him that he could not lead the army. Ge Ying did not want to die.
When the time comes, I can also teach him to die!"
Meng Tian suddenly opened his eyes wide, and his heart was filled with turmoil, but he still laughed happily and said: "Hahaha, with the help of my virtuous brother, I will win this battle!"
Although he never paid attention to the 150,000 Xuzhou Yellow Turban Army in Xiapi.
But at this moment, he still felt a little pity for the 150,000 soldiers and horses.
Strength in numbers?
If more people were useful, Ren Xiao's 250,000 troops and horses would not have been blocked by his 50,000 troops and could not advance beyond Dangshan Mountain!
If more people were useful, he would not have been defeated so miserably west of Liang County...
"Someone's coming!"
He stood up and shouted.
An orderly soldier carrying an order flag quickly stepped inside, cupped his fists and saluted, "Here you go!"
Zhi Da Zhi Xiao. Meng Tian shouted with a solemn look: "Send my military order to make food at dawn tomorrow morning, break camp at midnight, and attack the city at noon!"
"One drum, let's go down to Xiapi City!"
"Three drums to suppress the Xuzhou Yellow Turban Army!"
"Tell all divisions and regimental commanders that this battle is the first battle of our Second Army. Please work hard to show off the majesty of our Second Army!"
The ordering soldier immediately and without hesitation loudly promised: "I respectfully respect the general's order!"
