Chapter 420 Yuan Shang's Doomsday

Yan Liang asked: "General Hao, what's the situation? He smiled so happily."

Hao Meng sighed: "It's okay if you don't accept it. Zilong's luck is good. He won the flag and won the Yanmen Pass without any effort. He conquered Su You and Lu Xiang."

Yan Liang was also envious: "Zilong has good luck in his life."

Hao Meng immediately ordered Zhao Yun to temporarily guard Yanmen Pass and a large group of people went to Jinyang.

Tens of thousands of troops headed south and rushed to Jinyang. Jinyang was the largest city in Bingzhou, with a population of more than 200,000 during its heyday.

However, since the Yellow Turban Army, the population has been decreasing, and now the population is less than 100,000.

Yuan Shang has also made many adjustments in Bingzhou in recent years, treating the people well, reducing land annexation, and making considerable developments in agriculture.

But the army was in a bad mood, there were no famous generals, there were no ones who could fight, and the number of elite soldiers was small.

Especially last year, in order to make up the numbers, Yuan Shang recruited a lot of troops, and the entire Bingzhou also had 70,000 or 80,000 troops, which led to the newly recovered agriculture.

More than 25,000 cavalry arrived in the east of Jinyang City, and the rangers even cruised outside the four gates, and the entire Jinyang City was in an instant.

Yuan Shang's face was ashamed: "Where is Su You, even if the three thousand cavalry can't be defeated, come back and report to the head office. Raising three thousand dogs is easier than him."

Yuan Shang's face turned green with anger. Jinyang City had many soldiers and horses, with 8,000 cavalry and 30,000 infantry. It is said that there is no hurry to have such a huge military force, but the general is the courage of the soldiers. In such a huge city, the soldiers and horses are not led by a strong general.

When the Bingzhou Army heard that Lu Bu had fought back, he did not have a strong desire to fight. Moreover, many people even believed that Bingzhou was Lu Bu's hometown and that it would be the first to surrender to Lu Bu as soon as possible.

Chunyu Qiong took the horse and shouted: "Listen to the people in the city, who dares to come out to fight?"

Yuan Shang looked at the general Ma Yan beside him: "General Ma, see how to arrange it."

Ma Yan felt distressed. When it comes to fighting generals, there are too many powerful generals in the Xuzhou army. How can the Bingzhou army fight with people?

In terms of soldiers, Xuzhou Army has been a veteran for five or six years, and there are very few veterans in the Bingzhou Army, most of whom are new recruits with only a few months of military experience.

Ma Yan looked at the army outside the city: "Lord, the enemy is coming fiercely and cannot be defeated. The city has sufficient food and supplies, so there is no need for us to go out of the city to fight them head-on. We would rather fight with our will than fight."

Chunyu Qiong cursed for a long time, but did not see Yuan Shang sending troops. Instead, he ushered in a giant crossbow and was almost shot to death. He hurriedly retreated.

"General Hao, Yuan Shang dares not fight."

"If you don't dare to fight, let's wait. In another three or two days, the back team's baggage troops will have siege equipment when they arrive."

The infantry in the back team came very slowly, and they marched only eighty miles a day, which was already the ultimate speed. There were carriages and mule carriages, so it was impossible for them to go faster.

At this time, Zhao Yun from Yanmen Pass was training soldiers who surrendered.

Whether it is Su You's three thousand cavalry or Lu Xiang's five thousand infantry, they are all very bad.

Not to mention those who can fight or not, just say that the team cannot stand well, this is too much.

So Zhao Yun started training troops, and first had a meal, changing two meals a day to three meals.

Eat enough and train more vigorously.

However, Lu Xiang reminded: "General Zhao, although there is a lot of food in our warehouse, we will only have supplies after the autumn harvest."

"Don't worry, the deputy general of the School Lu just received the notice that the supplies troops transporting food and grass have arrived. He sent two thousand trucks of supplies and will arrive tomorrow."

"Oh, that's good."

The baggage team arrived very on time. It arrived the next morning. The baggage team was divided into two parts, and part of them followed the main force to Jinyang.

Only a small number of people came to Yanmen Pass, including 4,000 people, 2,000 mule carts and 4,000 mules, all of which were two large sets.

The convoy of light entered the city for a long time, and it was not until the evening that it was completely completed.

Su You and Lu Xiang led the soldiers to work as force workers to unload goods.

Lu Xiang was shocked. He had gone out to fight or on vacation.

Pickles, chili sauce, millet, and cornmeal are considered normal foods.

But the bacon, whole pork legs, dried beef, salted fish, and shrimp skin are too much, it's purely greedy.

Su You asked: "General Zhao, why is this food so good? I'm catching up with the landlord."

"The number of pig farming in several counties in Xuzhou is huge. Because it raises too much, the price of pork is extremely low. So the government purchased farmers' pigs at a low price to supply them to the soldiers. As for the beef, it was the cattle raised by the Wuhuan people on the grassland. Besides, it was not wars every day, so the supplies must be abundant."

Su You and Lu Xiang were both shocked. They were really rich and amazing.

The living conditions are so good, no wonder the soldiers work hard in wars.

In fact, this is not all for Zhao Yun's troops, because after Jinyang takes it, he will go north.

In Wuyuan, it is more convenient to place materials in Yanmen Pass.

There are also dozens of cars of autumn clothes and socks, which are textile by Xuzhou cotton mill.

Zhao Yun knew that Lu Xiang and Su You had a hard time.

"This is autumn clothes and socks. I took them down and distributed them to my brothers, one piece for each person."

"yes."

The conditions for these Bingzhou troops are still very difficult. They wear numb shoes and socks. Once they march for a long distance, their feet will be worn out.

The school manager and eight thousand soldiers received their autumn clothes and socks.

Stand neatly in line, holding weapons in one hand and clothes and socks in the other.

"The autumn clothes are worn inside the leather armor, and the socks are worn on the feet. Everyone should wear them. If you don't know how to wear them, you can ask your tutor."

"yes."

They are all a group of big men, and there is nothing to hide from.

I changed my clothes on the school grounds and I was very happy to wear them.

"Train well, stir-fry bacon tonight with potatoes."

"yes."

"I didn't hear it, just shout it out loud."

"yes."

Eight thousand people have a voice, and the sound is like thunder.

Zhao Yun looked from the side, and Su You and Lu Xiang arranged to start training.

Just this pair of socks and an autumn suit, the training morale of soldiers is very different.

queue, formation, spear.

After all, they have a few months of foundation, and once they become serious, they will still perform well.

If someone is not serious, someone will immediately say, "I have eaten meat every day, but you still don't practice well. Who are you worthy of?"

When the soldiers thought about it, the same reason was true. They said that they would eat food when they joined the army. If they all eat meat when they joined the army, they would not have to practice well.

In the evening, Lu Xiang came to the central army.

"General Zhao, I have a cousin Lu Kuang, who has a six thousand army guarding Dingxiang. Why not go there and communicate with him first. When our army arrives, we can directly abandon the darkness and turn to the light."

"This place is three or four hundred miles away from Dingxiang. Be careful along the way and lead dozens of elite soldiers forward. If he does not agree, don't force it. If he agrees, don't be in a hurry. You must wait until the army arrives to change the flag."

"Actually, General Zhao can lead the army now."

Zhao Yun was speechless. In fact, Lu Xiang was right, it would be better to take Dingxiang directly.
