Chapter 627 Yuan Shu Dispatches Troops
From then on, ordinary people in Guangmu never left the fifteen miles surrounding the county. Basically, within a ten-mile radius, the cavalry was spread out for dozens of miles, and then the people went out of the city to plow the fields, and were escorted back to the city by the cavalry before dark. It's not that the knight doesn't want to get rid of these flies, but that he really can't.
Although there are 3,000 cavalry on hand, compared to Hu Cavalry, it is still too few. If they are defending the city, it will be fine. If these 3,000 cavalry are used to fight Hu Cavalry in the field, there will probably be no scum left in the end.
At this time, the knight realized how naive it was for him to think of conquering Shuofang within a few years. So, he kept calling Huangfu Chaobo on the alliance channel, only to find that it had been almost a month since Huangfu Chaobo entered the dungeon.
The current knights can't wait for Zhao Zilong to come to Bingzhou as soon as possible so that they can share some of the pressure. Moreover, if the two of them can gather five or six thousand cavalry, they will not be afraid of fighting nearly ten thousand Huqi knights. It's a pity that Zhao Zilong's thousand cavalry have not been trained yet, and it will probably take a month or two to send troops to Jiuyuan.
After listening to the knight's words, Huangfu Chaobo had no choice but to comfort the knight. It was good for him to do this. He should lay a solid foundation and run the county with peace of mind first. After Zhao Zilong enters Jiuyuan, the two families join forces and then consider expanding the territory.
After exiting the alliance channel, Shi Ajiang had sorted out all the intelligence coming from Luoyang recently and put it on the table for Huangfu Chaobo and Pang Tong to read.
Before he opened it, Huangfu Chaobo asked: "Shi A, is there anything important in Luoyang? Let me take a look first."
Seeing this, Shi A quickly took out a message and handed it to Huangfu Chaobo.
Huangfu Chaobo didn't care at first, but at a glance, he stood up suddenly in shock. Something big did happen in the Central Plains. Although it was not Luoyang, it had a lot to do with Huangfu Chaobo.
In early April, Liu Xun, the governor of Lujiang, and Yuan Yin, the governor of Jiujiang, gathered 40,000 troops and marched into Runan in the name of wiping out the remnants of the Yellow Turbans. Yuan Shu's army was originally stronger than the Yuzhou army. In addition, Liu Xun and other generals led the army, and the land of Runan was originally the old land of the Yuan family. There were always many powerful families close to the Yuan family, so the Yuzhou army was defeated one after another.
Within ten days, Yuan Shu's army captured Anyang, Xinxi, Geyang, Qisi, Yuanlu and Fubo counties in the south of Runan. The army was approaching Baoxin, Shenyang and Ancheng. Xu Jing, the prefect of Runan, was frightened three times a day and sent rescue messengers one after another to Yingchuan for help.
Kong Nian sent He Man to lead an army of 30,000 to Runan for support. At the same time, he ordered the Changshe County Magistrate Zongheng Tianxia to send He Yi to lead the troops to fight together. At the same time, he sent people to Luoyang to rescue Huangfu Chaobo. But at this time, Huangfu Chaobo had already entered the copy, and Luoyang could not contact him.
After urgent discussion, Xu Shutian, Feng and Lougui decided to send troops to support. After careful consideration, they decided to use Zhao Yun as the general and Xu Shu as the military advisor. They would lead the White Horse Yi from 5,000 ordinary cavalry to 5,000. The total cavalry totaled 10,000 to support Runan. The Long Xiang Camp was led by deputy general Zuo Xiao and continued training in Luoyang. Together with the Huben Camp, it was put under the management of Huang Zhong.
Runan does not lack soldiers and horses, but it does not lack strong generals. Without strong generals, you will develop weak troops, and this is especially true for cavalry. Therefore, facing Yuan Shu's army, you can only lose one after another.
In mid-April, Zhao Yun led the army to Yangdi, the seat of Yuzhou, and went with Xu Shu to pay homage to Kong Min. Kong Min had already seen Xu Shu, and had seen Xu Shu's strategy as early as the crisis in Luoyang. Although Zhao Yun had met him for the first time, he heard that he was Huangfu Chaobo's general who was no less important than Huang Zhong. After that, Kong Min felt relieved and sent him to Xu Jing's tent in Runan to obey orders.
On April 20th, Zhao Yun led his army to the Runan governor's office to pingyu. He joined the 30,000-strong army led by Xu Jing, the prefect of Runan, and the 30,000-strong army led by He Man, the governor of Yuzhou. Together with the armies from various places in Runan, the army was pinged. A total of nearly 100,000 troops gathered outside Yucheng. Subsequently, Xu Jing ordered the army to move south to prepare for a battle with Yuan Shu's army.
Judging from the time, the battle with Yuan Shujun should have begun by now.
Looking at the information sent from Luoyang, Huangfu Chaobo smiled at Pang Tong and said: "It seems that our little Yuan Sangong is still dishonest. It seems that when we return to Luoyang, we will have to beat him up again!"
Pang Tong also smiled and said: "Yes, Nanyang is good. Look how long it took Yuan Gongli to train another 30,000 heavy-armored infantry for him. If we add the 10,000 heavy armored infantry that Nanyang originally left behind. , and Runan's 20,000, Yuan Shu's army now has 60,000 heavy-armored infantry, which is 10,000 more than before the Battle of Luoyang." As he spoke, he showed off the information he had about Nanyang.
"Well, after we return to Luoyang, we will discuss it with Yuan Zhi and go to Nanyang to meet our rear general!" Huangfu Chaobo made up his mind;
Originally I was thinking that the army should not move lightly now, but now it seems that Yuan Shu has not suffered enough to make him remember, so he plans to persuade Kong Ni to send troops to Nanyang after returning to Luoyang this time. , dig out another piece of meat from Yuan Shu.
The suggestion made by the person who killed the wrong wolf last time to make Zongheng Tianxia a prince seems to be a good idea. If we capture several counties from Nanyang and add several cities in Yingchuan, we can make Zongheng Tianxia the defender of a county and defend Yingchuan. Xi Mian, Kong Nian should still agree.
Regarding Huangfu Chaobo's words, Pang Tong did not comment or disagree. He shrugged like Huangfu Chaobo and stopped talking.
Huangfu Chaobo turned to Shi Adao: "Is there anything else important?"
"There is also news from Longhua that the foreign cavalry on the grassland has been more active recently than before. I don't know if it is because a large number of foreigners have entered the grassland. However, it has not had much impact on Longhua. Tian Yu and others just reported this situation."
Huangfu Chaobo nodded and stopped talking. Pang Tong paused and said, "General Shi, are you sure that Longhua has only recently discovered that the foreign cavalry has become active?"
Shi A was stunned and said, "The intelligence sent back from Longhua said that this situation should have started in mid-to-late March. Is there any problem, Mr. Pang?"
"What did you find?" Huangfu Chaobo was also shocked, and sat up straight and asked Pang Tong;
Pang Tong sat there, tapping his fingers lightly on the table beside him, and said thoughtfully, "It is not certain for the time being, but if I am not wrong, it should be close to 90%. General, have you noticed that the time when the foreign cavalry in Bingzhou became active is almost the same as that in Youzhou?"
