Chapter 39 Hidden for a long time, unsheathed to kill! (Thanks to [Mu Qilin] again
Facing Mao Jie’s gentleman’s wrath,
Lu Yan asked cautiously: "May I ask Xiaoxian, have you paid less attention to military affairs recently?"
Mao Jie replied with some dissatisfaction: "I am now entangled in your Lu Changsheng's Lijia and household registration system. How can I have time to pay attention to military affairs?
Besides, don’t you have a son who is filial to them in terms of military affairs?”
"Okay..." Lu Yan, the culprit, couldn't help but feel guilty, so he explained for Mao Jie:
"Xiao Xian, in fact, our Chenliu County already has 50,000 regular troops.
Moreover, there are nearly 100,000 reserve soldiers in the military camp."
When Mao Jie heard this, his eyes suddenly widened and he said in disbelief: "Why are there so many suddenly?"
Then he thought of a question and asked quickly: "Master, does he know?"
"Isn't Mr. Cao busy with fighting in the past few days... But I sent someone to send a letter yesterday. I think Mr. Cao will understand us."
Mao Jie was noncommittal about Lu Yan's actions, but he still reminded him:
"Changsheng, although Mr. Cao has a lot of trust in you, this matter can be big or small. I'd better try not to do this in the future."
When Lu Yan heard this, he stood up and cupped his hands in thanks: "Thank you Xiaoxian for reminding me!
Only an eternal gentleman like you can remind me of the mistakes I made in front of so many people."
"Well...it seems that we can still be saved." Seeing that Lu Yan accepted his opinion humbly, Mao Jie felt very relieved.
Cao Ren, Cao Hong and others now understand,
When I think that I and others finally have a battle to fight and merits to be gained, I am now so excited that my hands are trembling.
"Changsheng, when will Yuan Shu come back?
The bunch of bastards under my command are howling every day, and they can barely reach the cracks in the rocks with all their strength!"
"Hmph, vulgar language!" Mao Jie glared at Cao Hong dissatisfied, only Cao Ren, Dian Wei and others laughed in cooperation.
Lu Yan nodded slightly and said to himself: "The military spirit is available!"
...
Nanyang,
As early as the news of Liu Dai's death reached Chang'an,
The imperial court controlled by Li Jue and others had actually sent a man named Jin Shang to take office as the new governor of Yanzhou.
But when Jin Shang was on the way, he heard that Yanzhou was full of yellow scarf thieves.
Moreover, Cao Cao has been led by Bao Xin and others to take over Yanzhou.
So Jin Shang knew that he couldn't do anything,
So he ran to Yuan Shu to avoid trouble.
Why did Jin Shang go to Yuan Shu?
Mainly because after Li Jue and others took control of the court, they began to actively establish relations with various princes.
They even took the initiative to form an alliance with Yuan Shu, and in the name of the emperor, they worshiped Yuan Shu as General Zuo, and granted him the title of Marquis of Yang Zhai.
It can be said that it gave Yuan Shu enough face.
Yuan Shu was originally at a disadvantage in the fight with Liu Biao.
Later he got Jin Shang,
He immediately remembered the incident where Gongsun Zan had asked him to sneak attack Cao Cao's butt.
Although Gongsun Zan and Tao Qian have been beaten to the ground now,
But Yuan Shu didn't want to give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Relying on his reputation as the fourth generation and the third prince and Nanyang's family fortune of "Although the ship is broken, there are still three pounds of nails",
Yuan Shu finally decided to integrate all the forces he had and took Jin Shang with him, trying to attack Chen Liu in the name of the "genuine" Yanzhou governor appointed by the imperial court, and then seize Yanzhou from Cao Cao!
What made Yuan Shu feel a little confused was that,
Why did no news come back from any of the spies who went to Chenliu County to investigate the situation?
Yuan Shu, who lacks sufficient understanding of Boss Cao and Chen Liujun,
He has no idea how many soldiers, horses and generals Chenliu County has now.
I don’t know how many more talents Cao Cao gained after taking control of Yanzhou, let alone the 300,000 Qingzhou soldiers that Cao Cao had just recruited.
At this time, Yuan Shu had led his army out of Nanyang and entered Yuzhou.
The governor of Yuzhou was originally Sun Jian.
Although Sun Jian and Yuan Shu had some unpleasantness when the alliance was fighting against Dong, in the end Sun Jian was Yuan Shu's strongest card, and Yuan Shu had no choice but to win over Sun Jian.
Therefore, Yuzhou's governor was obtained by Yuan Shu from Sun Jian.
Later, after Sun Jian obtained the Jade Seal, he wanted to return to Jiangdong as soon as possible to dream of being emperor. Unexpectedly, when passing by Jingzhou, Sun Jian was attacked and killed by Liu Biao.
So Sun Jian's eldest son, Sun Ce, had no choice but to lead his remaining troops back to Yuan Shu to seek refuge, hoping to one day make a comeback.
After the death of Sun Jian, the position of governor of Yuzhou was vacant, and Yuzhou almost became the world of the Yellow Turban Army. Not only did Yingchuan cause a Yellow Turban, but even Runan and other places were also occupied by the Yellow Turban.
Yuan Shu set out from Nanyang,
When passing through various places in Yuzhou, I collected some yellow scarves to use as cannon fodder.
Then they went all the way north, aiming directly at Chenliu County!
...
Chenliucheng government office,
The atmosphere in the meeting hall seemed a bit solemn,
Mao Jie took the information that Lu Yan gave him from Chen Liu's spies and almost roared:
"Yuan Shu Shuzi really dares to attack me, Chen Liu! I will fight him to the death!"
The solemn atmosphere was almost dispersed by Mao Jie's roar.
Lu Yan smiled and gave Guo Jia a thumbs up and said, "Sure enough, Feng Xiao's words are right. It's you, the genius Guo Jia!"
Guo Jia stood up, accepted Lu Yan's praise, and replied shamelessly:
"Compared to the praise of a genius, Jia still prefers what Lu Zhonglang said last time."
Lu Yan smacked his lips and thought to himself: "I'm embarrassed to say it a second time, but you actually want to hear it again? You're too shameless..."
Seeing that Lu Yan refused to say it a second time, Guo Jia sat back in his seat angrily, with an unhappy expression on his face.
Although Lu Yan always tried his best to catch fish, but once it came to the place where he devoted his efforts (Chenliu County), he finally became serious for a rare moment.
Ignoring Guo Jia, who has a dopey face,
Lu Yan directly expressed his thoughts to everyone,
"We cannot let Yuan Shu enter Chenliu County, otherwise wherever the army goes, I, Chenliu, will destroy all lives and cause mourning everywhere."
After a pause, Lu Yan continued: "Therefore, I am determined to take the initiative to intercept Yuan Shu and eliminate his army outside Chenliu!"
When Guo Jia heard this, he seemed to suddenly forget that he was "angry".
He turned around and added: "That's how it should be!
Yuan Shu's spies did not detect our true situation. If we take the initiative, we can catch him off guard when he is not yet stable and is careless!
This move is in line with the art of war and is a great good!"
Yuan Shu's combat power is basically only that of Sun Jian's army.
But Sun Jian died because of the jade seal, and only the remnant army of a thousand men led by Sun Ce, Cheng Pu and others came back.
So facing Yuan Shu's army, which even Liu Biao's adopted son Liu Pan couldn't defeat, Lu Yan and Guo Jia didn't even think about relying on any conspiracy to win.
An upright and frontal fight can not only train the newly recruited troops, but also allow the world to get to know Chenliu County and Boss Cao again.
Lu Yan continued to make arrangements: "Order, Zi Lian will be the vanguard, Mancheng will be the deputy vanguard, and will lead five thousand soldiers. We only need to kill the scouts of Yuan Shu's army to find out the movements of Yuan Shu's army. They are not allowed to come into contact with their main force."
"Here!"
"Zi Xiao is the chief general, Wen Ze and Dian Wei are the deputy generals. He leads 30,000 troops and marches to Xu County first."
"I will lead 10,000 soldiers with Fengxiao to guard the central army as a response."
Speaking of this, Lu Yan smiled and said:
"Zixiao, Zilian, Wenze, Manchester City, what you have been waiting for for a long time is finally here. It's time for you to show off your talents!"
"Very good!"
"Everything is up to you, sir!" Lu Yan likes this kind of guy who is straightforward and upright...
Lu Yan looked at Mao Jie and Ren Jun again, then raised his hands and said: "Sir Xiao, Boda would like to trouble you two governors about food and logistics. Our rear area will be left to you."
Mao Jie and Ren Jun both raised their hands and said, "I will live up to Lu Zhonglang's trust!"
Lu Yan stood up,
Everyone also stood up,
Looking at the slightly hazy sky outside the conference hall, Lu Yan's eyes showed a sharpness that he had never seen before.
"Since the sword can no longer hide its edge,
Then everyone on this land must understand one truth:
We are no longer the weaklings who can come up with ideas for cats and dogs!"
