Chapter 674 Accident
After hearing the news from Orange Bear, Pang Tong immediately realized that this return might not be peaceful. He stood up and said: "General, it is best for Ma to send people to Ye County and ask Hanzhou Mu to send General Zhang Jaw with 20,000 soldiers to come to meet him. It is said that the general sent 20,000 war horses to Jizhou, but it has attracted the attention of the Yuan family and the Black Mountain Army. The general has already received the news. "
You know, there is a distance of several hundred miles from Zhaojiacun to Han Fujun's territory, and the people in Zhaojiacun are moving with their families, so they will not be able to move very fast. As a result, the danger on the road will be much higher.
As soon as Pang Tong's words came out, everyone present realized the seriousness of the matter. If he still had tens of thousands of cavalry, he would not be afraid of the Montenegrin Army, even if the Montenegrin Army attacked him with a force of 100,000 men.
However, it is different now. There are ten thousand people traveling with them. Except for a few thousand strong people, the rest are old and weak.
Thinking of this, Huangfu Chaobo immediately said to Shi A: "Shi A, immediately send someone to Xindu to meet with Hanzhou Mu, and follow what Shi Yuan said, ask Han Zhoumu to send General Zhang with an army of two to thirty thousand to come to meet him. "
After hearing the order, Shi A immediately turned around and left the arrangement. After he left, Huangfu Chaobo said to Zhao Feng and Zhao Yun: "Brother Feng, Zilong, you go and make arrangements. We need to leave as soon as possible. At the same time, let everyone give up as much as possible. Those bulky things, tell everyone that I will have them all ready when they arrive in Luoyang."
"No!" After hearing this, the two of them knew that the matter was urgent and quickly turned around and went out to make arrangements.
After everyone left, Huangfu Chaobo said to Orange Bear, "Big Bear, when can your branch take over the town?"
Orange Bear looked at the sky outside the house. It was already three or four o'clock in the afternoon, so he said: "The boss has just informed on the alliance channel that all Jizhou branches will rush here as soon as possible, but by tonight Two thousand people can arrive, and tomorrow morning, the number will probably reach more than five thousand. "
He paused and then said: "The main force of our Jizhou branch is only 5,000 people. Including the other peripheral members, there are probably more than 20,000 people. It will probably take two or three days before they all arrive."
After pondering for a moment, Pang Tong said: "Among the more than 2,000 people who stayed, there are still many young men who can be recruited as soldiers. In addition, there are still many people among Zilonghui Yiren. In this way , there should be no problem. Besides, the Black Mountain Army’s goal is our army. If our army escorts the people southward and is discovered, they will definitely want to stop it instead of attacking Zhaojiacun. "
Upon hearing this, Orange Bear said with a puzzled look on his face: "Most of you have already left. The Black Mountain Army shouldn't be watching this town anymore, right?"
Pang Tong shook his head and said: "Although the Black Mountain bandits know that many people in the village have moved south, they don't know whether all of them have moved away, so they will send people to test them anyway."
As he spoke, he paused for a moment, and then said: "For the current strategy, there are two options to choose from. One is that the general leaves some soldiers and horses in the town to repel the invading Black Mountain bandits; the other is that you can let The Black Mountain bandits believe that there are no more original people in Zhaojia Village, and it is now your alien territory."
Orange Bear's eyes widened and he struggled for a long time. There were two ways. However, although some players of the Zilonghui have joined the Black Mountain Army, they are not in an important position, and their impact on the Black Mountain Army can be said to be basically small.
But if there is a battle with the Black Mountain Army, the counties of Jingxing and Shangai are all under the control of the Black Mountain Army, less than a hundred miles away from Zhaojia Village. If both sides get angry in this battle, then Zhaojia Village will There will be no peaceful days to live.
After struggling for a long time, he finally said: "Boss Chaobo, can you leave a few thousand or eight hundred soldiers in Zhaojiacun first? Of course, if possible, we still want to pass the message through our brothers in the Black Mountain Army. It would definitely be best if we could coexist peacefully.
"
"But," Pang Tongtong patted the table behind him and said, "Even if you need to negotiate a peace with the Montenegrin army, you still need to let the other party see your strength. If they lose their energy during their first round of attack, If the fight continues and we negotiate for peace, there should be no problem. "
Orange Bear felt more confident when he saw that Pang Tong supported his decision, so he looked at Huangfu Chaobo eagerly, waiting for his decision.
Huangfu Chaobo thought for a moment, and then looked at Pang Tong. Pang Tong knew what he meant. There are 14,000 troops in his group. If we add the 3,000 infantry and 500 cavalry in Zhaojiacun, there will be more than 18,000. But who will stay behind needs to be carefully considered.
At this time, the Zhao Yun brothers had returned to the house after arranging the villagers and soldiers. Huangfu Chaobo quickly explained the issues he was considering to the two of them, asking everyone to think about it together.
After someone put up the map of Jizhou, several people gathered around the map and thought about it carefully. While Pang Tong looked at it, he pointed on the map with his hands and measured the distance from time to time.
Not long after, Pang Tongcai said: "It is about two hundred miles from Zhaojia Village to Nei Zhao Kingdom within the control of Hanzhou Mu. If it is just our cavalry army, it will only take one day, but if we carry nearly tens of thousands of people, it is estimated that every day It only takes about fifty miles to travel in a day, so it will take four days."
"Why does it take so long?" Huangfu Chaobo was anxious when he heard it, and hurriedly said: "Hasn't it been ordered not to carry those bulky things?"
"My lord, you don't know that although our army has many horses, there are many people who can't ride horses among the people. Moreover, there are thousands of old and weak people who can't stand the bumps of war horses, so the team can only use carriages and horses to travel, so the speed will definitely not be very fast." Zhao Yun also understood the reason and stepped forward;
Huangfu Chaobo heard it and immediately realized that he had neglected it. This horse riding sounds good, fast, but it is very bumpy. Only those who really know how to ride a horse can reach the speed of riding a horse for a hundred miles a day, or even two hundred miles. If you don't know how to ride a horse, you can only walk fifty or sixty miles a day. In addition, there are indeed one or two thousand old and weak people among these people, who can't stand this kind of bumps.
If you calculate it based on a distance of fifty miles a day, it will take three or four days to reach Zhao State no matter how fast you go. Of course, it doesn't have to enter the territory of Zhao State. For example, the county magistrate of Fangzi in Changshan State favors Han Fu. But it still takes three days to get from Zhaojia Village to the house.
