Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 415 Burning jujube and going south to tiger prison!
Suanzao County.

early morning.

A round of morning sun rose slowly from the eastern sea level, and the golden light poured down. After yesterday's heavy rain washed away, today's sun looked even brighter, and even the air was fresh.

"My lord, we have found the granary of Suanzao, but there is not as much grain and grass in it as we imagined. We counted it, and it is estimated that there are only less than [-] shi of grain left, and there are not many weapons and horses in storage!"

The county government office was temporarily requisitioned and became the command post of Jingping's army. Mujing lived in the backyard. After the battle yesterday, he was exhausted. After a good rest last night, he regained some mental and physical strength. He just woke up. Just came to report.

"so little?"

Hearing this, Mu Jing frowned slightly.

Fifty thousand shi of food just looks like a lot, but if it is to deal with the logistics of hundreds of thousands of coalition forces, it is very little.

This crusade swept the princes of the world.

Not to mention far away.

The accumulation of grain and grass in Yuzhou and Yanzhou alone is a terrifying number. Jizhou, Qingzhou, and Xuzhou also transported a lot of grain and grass, and the accumulated grain and grass were enough for the coalition forces to attack Mushan.

"I've already asked some left-behind soldiers in Suanzao County!" Xi Zhicai said, "It should be Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu transported most of them to the south, and then held them tightly in his hands to ensure his position in the coalition army. !"

Yuan Shao was the lord of the alliance, nominally commanding the princes from all walks of life.

If Yuan Shu wants to sit side by side with Yuan Shao, then he must have a trump card that can check and balance the princes of all parties, and logistics management is the best position.

"Yuan Gonglu, this bastard really has a lot of thoughtfulness, but his little thought just ruined our plan!" Mu Jing sighed, "Even if we take the jujube, it won't do much harm to the coalition forces! "

"What do we do now?"

Xi Zhicai also sighed, it is better to change the plan.

"The significance of Suanzao is too great. Compared with the Kwantung coalition forces, this is the place where dragons rise. It is related to their morale. They will never let us occupy it. We can't stay for long. As long as the news of the fall of Suanzao reaches the coalition forces Where, maybe they will send troops to the north to attack us!" Mu Jing said: "Immediately order the Hun cavalry to come in to carry food, as much as they can move, let them go!"

"Your Majesty, do you really want to give them food? After all, the Xiongnu cavalry are aliens, and they are not of one mind with us. If someone is not allowed to give them food, they will stab us in the stomach!" Xi Zhicai reminded.

"Why don't I know!"

Mu Jing smiled wryly, and said in a deep voice: "If there was a second choice, would I hire them? The Xiongnu are a foreign race, and they have fought against us for hundreds of years. They gambled on their reputation. After the first battle, my reputation of colluding with foreign enemies is inevitable after the news spread, but so what, war is only about life and death, if we can't win this battle, I will die, my father will die, You also have to be buried with me, between life and death, I don't have so many feelings, I can only seek to win!"

He borrowed the Huns' cavalry to defeat Gongsun Zan's Youzhou Army. Sooner or later, the news spread all over the world, but if it spread, it might not be a good thing, it should be more spurned.

How to fight this place in the Central Plains is the business of the Central Plains itself. The Han people's country should be fought by the Han people. It is a heinous crime to attract foreign cavalry into the Central Plains.

But even if Mu Jing was given another chance to choose, he would still bring the Xiongnu's [-] elite cavalry into the battlefield without hesitation.

This is a war, a war without any options.

In war, it is only life and death. The process is not important, the means are not important, the important thing is whether you can survive.

"Since I use them, I will naturally feed them, and next, I will need them to fight for me. Twenty thousand cavalry is comparable to an army of one hundred thousand. With them participating in the battle, we will have a much better chance of winning. No matter the Kanto The Allied Forces must be defeated, this is the first step for us to unify the Great Han, if the Kwantung Allied Forces win, the Great Han will surely perish!"

Mu Jing said: "So the food should be given to them. At this time, we can't be stingy!"

"It's nothing to give them. They are fighting, and I can't take too much away. I'm afraid that if I feed them too much, it will cause disaster in the future. The Huns cavalry are brave and good at fighting. If there are any shortcomings, it is their fault." There is a shortage of food, once they have enough food, they will invade south without hesitation!"

Xi Zhicai was still a little worried.

"What you said is not unreasonable!"

Mu Jing shrugged his shoulders, but he didn't care about this at all. If it was Xianbei, he would think about it, but the Xiongnu, the sun is setting, and there is nothing wrong with the Xiongnu. They are all made by Xianbei. He said that the Huns were just being used, and he asked himself that he could handle the Huns: "But now I can't think so far. What's more, since I dare to use them, I will naturally be able to suppress them. If they want to To gain a foothold in the Central Plains is not enough to rely on the cavalry under your command to fight, no matter how strong the Xiongnu cavalry is, they are just mercenaries, and if they choose this path for me, it is a path that will destroy their own foundation!"

Mercenary, rootless duckweed.

When they find that war can make money for them, they will not choose to stand on the ground. As long as they don't want to gain a foothold in one place for a day, they will never be able to stand firm in the Central Plains.

"Since the son is so confident, the certain family will not say much!"

Xi Zhicai said in a low voice.

He still believed in Mujing in his heart. Since Mujing had thought through the matter thoroughly, and he did it in the end, it meant that Mujing had confidence.

"Zhicai, Jing Ping's army must rectify as soon as possible, and I will leave the matter of Jing Ping's rectification to you. I will give you five days!"

After the two discussed again, Mu Jing began to say: "Five days later, we will leave Suanzao and go south to join the main force of father and defeat the Kwantung coalition forces!"

After the war, many things had to be cleared up. The tens of miles of battlefield had to be cleaned up, the wounds of the soldiers had to be repaired, the losses of the battalions, and the teams with excessive losses needed to be reorganized. These were all one thing.

Five days is certainly not enough.

But they didn't have much more time to de-escalate.

"promise!"

Xi Zhicai nodded. He also knew that time was running out, so he didn't bargain.

……

……

Shut down the water.

The battle continued for days, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses were invested, and every day was a bloody battle, and dozens of miles around became a bloody battlefield.

The coalition forces attacked several times, but they were still unable to break through Sishui Pass.

This is actually the morale among the coalition forces is getting lower and lower.

At this time, news of the Suanzao Battle came from the north one after another, and soon reached the case of the leader Yuan Shao.

"what?"

Yuan Shao complained, "Mulongtu broke through Suanzao?"

He couldn't believe it.

On the north side, he deployed a total of [-] soldiers and horses, led by the elite Youzhou Army. You must know that the Youzhou Army is one of the most powerful among the coalition forces. He still felt a little distressed at the beginning, but the Jingping Army The swift resolution of the battle in Hanoi shocked him a lot. After discussing with Cao Cao, Han Fu and others for a long time, he decided to place the Youzhou Army in the north to stabilize the northern front.

But what he didn't expect was that Gongsun Zan couldn't stop Mu Jing.

"If the jujube is lost, how is our logistics going?"

"Mu Clan's son actually broke our Suanzao, it's too abominable!"

"If he goes south with the trend, wouldn't we be caught in a pinch!"

The hearts of the princes began to shake.

"Zhang Chao, what's going on?"

Cao Cao, who was sitting next to him, looked at Zhang Chao, the prefect of Guangling who was kneeling in front of him, and asked, "Although Mulongtu is capable, Jingping's army is also a strong army, but Suanzao has tens of thousands of Youzhou army. With the help of Guangling Army and Qingzhou Army, it is impossible to cross the south of the river with the help of Jingping Army alone?"

"It's the Huns cavalry!"

Zhang Chao said tremblingly: "Mu's son attracted the Huns cavalry, Gongsun Taishou rushed forward and was ambushed, the Youzhou army was defeated, the Qingzhou army was wiped out, and our Guangling army also suffered heavy casualties. , report to the south!"

"Hun cavalry?"

"Mulongtu, how dare he be so presumptuous!"

"Bringing foreign enemies into the Central Plains, he is a big man and my people!"

The righteous indignation of countless princes came.

"Hun cavalry?"

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao looked at each other, they were not angry, but felt troubled.

"Where's Gongsun Zan?" Cao Cao asked, "Did he get out of the encirclement?"

"Live or die!" Zhang Chao replied.

"Leader, Suanzao is the place where we form an alliance. It is an important place for the coalition forces, so it must not be lost!" Cao Cao stood up and begged for orders: "I am willing to lead the army northward and defeat Mujing!"

"Meng De, this battle at Sishui Pass is the key to the decisive battle, and we need you to command it!"

Yuan Shao shook his head. It wasn't that he didn't want Cao Cao to waste his strength. He naturally hoped that Cao Cao and Mu Jing would lose both. As a result, the entire army was wiped out, and he had to keep Cao Cao by his side, because only Cao Cao could lead the army to cooperate with him in attacking.

He glanced across the princes and asked, "Who is willing to go north to meet the enemy?"

"Go somewhere!"

Liu Dai, governor of Yanzhou, stood up and said with cupped hands.

"Liu Shijun, you..."

"Leader, please trust me, I, Yanzhou Erlang, will never let Mulongtu and the Xiongnu thief go south!" Liu Dai said firmly.

"Then I will be in charge of Mr. Liu!"

Yuan Shao said in a low voice.

On that day, Liu Dai led the Yanzhou army to go northward and went straight to Suanzao County.

……

Suanzao County.

A few days passed, the battlefield was almost cleaned up, and Jingping's army recovered a lot, it was time to go south.

"Your Majesty, there is news from Jingwu Division that Gongsun Zan is dead!"

Just as Mu Jing was about to leave for the south, he heard news from Jing Wusi.

"died?"

Mu Jing narrowed his eyes, feeling a little bit of emotion in his heart: "A generation of heroes from the North, it's a pity that we have different positions!"

He didn't have much resentment or personal dissatisfaction with Gongsun Zan, but respected him. Gongsun Zan in history was a heroic figure who defended the Northern Territory and fought bravely.

But the battlefield is the battlefield, since it is the enemy, either you die or I die, he will do his best to destroy Gongsun Zan.

"Then what about his generals?" Mu Jing asked suddenly.

"I heard that Tuogu gave it to Liu Bei!" the spies replied.

"Liu Xuande!"

Mu Jing trembled when he heard this. If he didn't regret it before, he suddenly felt that he had done something wrong now. It wasn't the mistake of taking the Suanzao, but killing Gongsun Zan: "Damn, I became your Liu Bei The God of God has assisted!"

In history, Liu Bei was depressed for half his life.

Now, he actually took over Gongsun Zan's inheritance, so... the matter is serious, this hero who is always changing when the situation changes, won't make contributions ahead of time, right?

He couldn't believe the effect of the butterfly's wings.

"Forget it, I can't take care of you Liu Bei now!"

Mujing can't take care of so much, and now he is in a hurry to leave Suanzao.

Before leaving Suanzao, he ordered the Jingping army to drive out all the people in the county, then poured tung oil on it, and directly set fire to Suanzao City, and the whole county was turned into ruins in the raging fire.

This is the place where the coalition forces will join forces. Burning the land and destroying their spirit can damage the morale of the coalition forces.

After burning Suanzao City, Jingping Army and Huns cavalry began to go south to Sishui Pass...
