Great Military Division

Chapter 419 Control the bird to transmit information?
Shanyang, Changyi.

Prefect's House.

At this moment, Yuan Yi was standing in front of the cowhide map, frowning and pondering how to deal with Liu Dai's menacing army. After all, the opponent gathered was the strength of the whole Yanzhou.

"Damn!"

Yuan Yi cursed secretly, frowning so much that he could crush a cow to death: "Although we have been secretly accumulating strength in recent years, if Liu Dai seeks refuge in Nanyang and wants to come to Cao Cao in Yuzhou, there will definitely be some movement."

"Liu Dai is fine with himself. If Cao Cao is added, I'm afraid that a small Shanyang County will not be able to hold on for too long. Yuan Shao in Jizhou can't be relied on. We may have to fight alone."

Beside him, the chief secretary Yuan Linchang said with a sigh: "If it's just like this, it's fine. Now our officials from Shanyang County have already left halfway. As for whether the rest will leave, it's another matter."

"If there are no competent ministers and fierce generals, it will not be so easy for us to stick to Shanyang County, especially since Cao Cao is still eyeing Yuzhou."

Although the news was cruel, Yuan Yi was relatively calm, holding a strand of goatee under his chin, and said softly: "Let's go as you please. Going now is better than turning back."

"Alin."

Yuan Yi turned his head to glance at the master book, and said indifferently: "The more you are at this moment, the more you have to think about it, don't let such emotions control your consciousness, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."

"kindness."

Yuan Lin nodded and nodded: "Of course I understand the truth, but I just feel a little bit annoyed, not to mention the authenticity of this article, just one point, Yuan Di came out to testify, it is obviously false."

"Are these guys all over their heads? Such an obvious framing, can't you see it? His Majesty the Emperor of Nanyang is obviously targeting our Yuan family!"

"It's obviously a righteous act to ask Dong Ming, but..."

Speaking of this, Yuan Lin felt aggrieved again in his heart.

Unfortunately, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Yuan Yi waving his hand: "Okay, justice is at your fingertips, now is a time of crisis, the more you explain, the more you will misunderstand the public."

"If you believe that my Yuan family is innocent, you will naturally choose to believe it. If you don't believe that my Yuan family is innocent, no matter how you explain it, it will have no effect."

"There are so many people saying that I can stop it, so don't waste too much energy on it. The most important thing for us now is to find a way to deal with the invading enemy before Cao Cao reacts."

"Yes."

Only then did Yuan Lin let out a sigh of relief, trying to keep himself calm: "It should be so, I think, we should now"

Yuan Yi shook his head, and said softly: "No, it's too dangerous to do so, it should be done"

Just when the two began to discuss countermeasures.

suddenly.

A long announcement sounded outside the hall:
"Report—!"

The two turned their heads to look.

However, the scouts rushed into the hall in a hurry, bowed their bodies and cupped their hands and said: "My lord, the information is sent back from the direction of Hulu. Cao Cao sent his generals Xia Houdun and Xia Houyuan to lead [-] elite soldiers respectively to settle in Gongqiu and Fengxian."

"kindness."

Yuan Yi remained calm and waved his hand: "Understood, you step back."

The scout bowed his body and cupped his hands: "Here."

The chief secretary Yuan Lin said softly: "My lord, Cao Cao sent people to Gongqiu and Fengxian counties, obviously targeting us. I'm afraid he will kill us from behind and join forces with Liu Dai."

"Yes."

Yuan Yi nodded affirmatively: "There is indeed such a possibility, but this is Liu Dai's first battle under Nanyang Hanting, and he will definitely not easily ask for support."

"I think."

Speaking of this, Yuan Yi pinched the goatee under his jaw: "Once Liu Dai arrives, he will definitely attack with all his strength. As for Cao Cao, he will never enter Yanzhou easily."

"After all, Liu Dai is still the governor of Yanzhou at present, and this place is still Liu Dai's territory. Even if Cao Cao wants to make a surprise attack, Liu Dai will have to ask for help before he can lead troops in."

"Makes sense!"

Yuan Lin suddenly realized, and nodded slowly: "Then let's"

Yuan Yi twisted his beard and said softly: "Concentrate the superior forces and try to defeat Liu Dai in the first battle. At least half of his forces must be wiped out, otherwise we will not be able to deal with the next situation."

"This"

When Yuan Lin heard this, he couldn't believe it: "My lord, can this be done?"

Yuan Yi frowned, and breathed out: "If you can do it, you have to do it, if you don't, you have to do it, otherwise we will die! Just follow my previous method, if you don't succeed, you will be benevolent!"

Yuan Lin could clearly feel the ferocious fighting spirit emanating from Yuan Yi's body. He was also passionate and inspired, and he nodded his head heavily and responded sonorously:
"My lord, don't worry, I will arrange it here."

"it is good."

Yuan Yi responded, and continued to stare at the map.

After a long time, an announcement sounded again outside the hall:
"Report—!"

Yuan Yi turned his head to look.

However, his own scout hurried into the palace, bowed his body and cupped his hands and said: "My lord, report back from the scouts ahead. Liu Dai's soldiers and horses have entered the border of Shanyang County. They are carrying siege equipment. They are marching cautiously and walking slowly."

Come with the siege engine.

It is clear!
The opponent came with the siege equipment because he was preparing to storm Changyi County, instead of the soldiers and horses first, and the equipment behind.

After all, if this is the case, the team of siege equipment is very likely to be ambushed.

In this way, the gain outweighs the loss.

"How long will it take them to arrive?"

"About two more days."

"Two days?!"

"kindness."

"All right."

Yuan Yi waved his hand to signal him to leave: "Continue to inquire, and if you have any news, report it immediately."

The scout bowed his body and cupped his hands: "Here."

*****
Party!

This is a magical place.

Surrounded by mountains, the overall terrain is relatively high. People in the pre-Qin period even regarded it as "the backbone of the world" and referred to it as "a party with the sky", so it was named "Shangdang".

To the west of Shangdang is the Taiyue Mountain Range. This mountain range and its north-south extensions separate the Shangdang area from the Linfen and Taiyuan Basins. To the east is the main vein of the Taihang Mountains, and to the south is the Wangwu Mountain.

According to general rules, this area surrounded by mountains such as Taihang, Taiyue, and Wangwu should be a large basin with great potential, just like Taiyuan, Linfen, Xinding, and even Datong Basin.

unfortunately
It is called the Shangdang Heights here, not the Shangdang Basin.

Because of the power of the surface and the scouring of the river, the above-mentioned mountains extending to the Shangdang Highland have not been repaired and leveled. In other words, no matter which direction you climb the mountain, after entering the Shangdang area, you will still face a large area of ​​mountains.

This place is really easy to defend and difficult to attack. When the high-ranking officials stationed their soldiers and horses here, they had already considered the security issues later, and now they are indeed enemies on all sides.

"Damn!"

In the State Shepherd's Mansion, Gao Gan punched Shuai's case with a high frown.

He couldn't believe it.

Zhang Kan, who had [-] soldiers, was swallowed up by Zhang Liao so easily.

You know, before that, Zhang Kan had confidently assured himself that he would be able to win Zhang Liao, keep Lin County, keep Bingzhou, and completely stabilize the situation in Bingzhou.

but now
God damn it, I don't even know where the bones are.

If you can leave some inheritance, you can pay it back.

What's more terrible is that Zhang Kan's entire army was wiped out, which is equivalent to handing over the entire Taiyuan Basin to Zhang Liao. With Wang Yun's help, they will surely stabilize the situation in Taiyuan County in the shortest possible time.

"General, don't get angry."

Beside him, Feng Ji gave a bow, and hurriedly said in relief: "Although things are beyond our expectations, Zhang Liao may not be so easy to take down Shangdang."

"kindness."

Gao Gan nodded.

He is still somewhat confident about Shangdang Heights: "I'm just a little angry. Even if Zhang Kan is defeated and has thousands of people in his hands, he can help relieve the pressure on the periphery."

"It's good now, the whole army is wiped out!"

"Humph!"

With a soft snort, Gao Gan said angrily, "Put all the pressure on me alone. Even if the Shangdang Highland is easy to defend and difficult to attack, we can't afford to consume like this."

"Simply Fukouxing is still under our control. Once we can't hold on, we can retreat to Jizhou from here. If we don't even have Fukouxing, we will become shackles."

Feng Ji pinched the goatee under his jaw: "Speaking of this, I have to admit how prescient Jushou was at the beginning, and he actually spent a lot of money to restore the Zhanghe Great Wall, otherwise the Nanyang cavalry would sweep the rear of our army .”

"Don't ask Jushou in front of me!"

Hearing this, Gao Gan was furious and aggressive.

"Uh alright."

How can we not know every season.

Jushou and Tian Feng left Yuan Shao because of the "Call to Thieves", but Yuan Shao quickly quelled the civil strife and stabilized the morale of the army, and immediately made everyone in Yuan Shao hate Jushou and Tian Feng.

The strength of the Jizhou faction under Yuan Shao's tent has been greatly reduced. At present, the Yingchuan faction headed by Guo Tu and Xun Chen is the most respected, while the Nanyang faction such as Fengji and Xu You are also deeply loved by Jushou and Tian Feng because of their resignation. reuse.

Therefore, the circle of counselors who were purely under Yuan Shao's tent was actually happier with Jushou and Tian Feng's resignation. After all, without competitors, everyone gained substantial benefits.

But
Feng Ji still admires Jushou's foresight from the bottom of his heart.

Gao Gan got up and came to the sand table map, holding a short beard under his jaw: "According to the method of dealing with the trapped camp, quickly and properly defend the existing passages in the northern mountain."

Feng Ji bowed his body and cupped his hands and said, "Here."

"and also."

Speaking of this, Gao Gan added: "Recently, the Black Mountain Army has been active in Jizhou, and it is thought that it will submit to the Nanyang Hanting. We have to guard against this."

"Duo Duo sent scouts to inquire about the news of the Black Mountain Army near Fukouxing and Jingxing, and strictly prevent them from harassing the Shangdang. If there is a chance, they will go into the mountains and destroy them."

I have to admit that Gao Gan still has two brushes.

At least, his analysis of the enemy has a certain basis.

"Destroy the Black Mountain Army?"

Feng Ji shook his head and said softly: "It's good to do this, but the difficulty is too high. I'm afraid we will also have a lot of losses. In this case, the gain outweighs the loss."

Gao Gan naturally knew the difficulty and consequences of going into the mountains to suppress the bandits: "Then according to the military division's intention?"

Feng Ji thought for a moment, with a look of embarrassment on his face: "I think that the current situation in Bingzhou is relatively chaotic, and it is not meaningful to continue to be on duty here. It is better to retreat to Jizhou and strengthen the rear of our army."

"Back to Jizhou?"

Gao Gan naturally knew the benefits of returning to Jizhou.

But I also understand how leaving Shangdang will affect Jizhou.

After all, Shangdang County has three roads that can enter the Hebei Plain. If it is controlled in Nanyang Hanting, it will inevitably cause immeasurable losses to the rear of Jizhou.

"Yes."

Feng Ji nodded affirmatively: "General, we are alone in Bingzhou. Even if it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it may not last long. Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, and Heishan Army will never give up."

"Stay here, there is only one dead end."

"But."

When the subject changed, Feng Jilang said, "If we abandon this place and enter Jizhou, we can cooperate with Han Meng to keep Handan safe and stabilize the Zhanghe Great Wall. We can even send some of our troops to help the Lord."

The high-ranking officials were silent for a long time, and finally breathed out: "We have been in Shangdang for two years, and we can give up at will, not to say that we give up. This matter must be decided by the master."

"Leaving Shangdang certainly has the advantage of leaving Shangdang, but it is more than sufficient for defense, but not enough for offense. If the lord can quickly take down Liu Yu, he will definitely not leave Shangdang."

"at this point."

Gao Gan turned his head and glanced at Feng Ji: "I don't dare to make decisions at will."

Feng Ji shook his head, with a slightly regretful expression on his face: "Now that the Black Mountain Army joins forces, and the Taiyuan hub is also occupied by Zhang Liao's army, I'm afraid it will not be so easy for Youzhou, my lord."

"Military division be careful."

Gao Gan's eyes flickered with awe: "It's okay to complain, but don't take it seriously."

Feng Ji hurriedly bowed: "I understand."

Gao Gan said softly: "Well, I will write a letter to the lord. Whether we want to leave Shangdang and return to Jizhou is up to the lord himself to decide, but before that, we still have to put away the Shangdang."

Feng Ji nodded: "It should be so."

*****
Sili, Chang'an.

Taifu's house.

Shi Sunrui said in disbelief, "What did you say? Gao Ji was captured alive, and the soldiers under his command took refuge in Nanyang Hanting? How is this possible?"

"it is true."

The scout leaned forward and cupped his hands: "Only a few scattered soldiers returned to Chang'an, and the rest were all captured by Pound and surrendered to Nanyang Hanting."

"Ma Teng and Han Sui led the elite soldiers and cooperated with Pound's elite cavalry to attack back and forth. They also ate up the ambushes of our army along the way. They are currently resting and will go straight to Chang'an soon."

"Damn!"

Shi Sun Rui was furious and waved his hands to repel the scouts.

immediately.

He turned his head and looked up at Yuan Kai: "Mr. Yuan, what should we do next? If we don't have enough troops, we might not be Nanyang's opponents!"

"and"

Speaking of this, Shi Sunrui sighed and said softly: "We have no suitable generals to use. How should we deal with this situation?"

Yuan Ji on the side looked calmer, turned his head to look at Shi Sun Rui, and said calmly: "Don't worry, general, I believe the grand master will have a solution."

Yuan Kai frowned and pondered for a long time.

Actually.

He had already expected this to happen. After all, Han Sui and Ma Teng were cavalrymen, how could they fail to catch up with these infantrymen.

However, what he didn't expect was that the fighting situation would be so tragic.

The opponent turned out to be intercepting and killing, but chasing and killing.

This point, even if Yuan Kui was killed, he did not expect it.

It is not surprising that there is such a defeat.

call-

Breathe out.

Yuan Kai tried his best to keep himself calm, not to be affected by the predicament in front of him, which affected his emotions: "That's right, the loss of our soldiers and horses is indeed serious, and even a lot of generals died."

"However, apart from this, don't you forget that there are generals under Dong Zhuo's tent who are still idle. I believe they are not willing to submit to Nanyang, and they will definitely work together with us."

hiss-!
Shi Sunrui was surprised, and took a breath: "What does the Tai Tuo mean?"

Yuan Kui nodded affirmatively, and interrupted directly: "That's right, use Duan Yan, Fan Chou and others. They are all generals under Dong Zhuo's command, and they are all experienced in fighting Nanyang."

"Especially Duan Yan, he is the brother of Duan Jiong in Sanming, Liangzhou, and he is also a strong general who is proficient in the art of war. Previously, Dong Zhuo was afraid of this man's power, so he didn't use him again. Now is our chance to reuse him."

Yuan Ji nodded slowly: "Duan Yan is indeed a brave general, but he has been idled by Dong Zhuo for so many years, and he didn't have any outstanding performance during the appeal for Dong Zhuo. Will he be Nanyang's opponent?"

"Whether it is Nanyang's opponent or not, I don't know for the time being."

"but."

Yuan Kai changed the subject, and said loudly: "Nanyang must not know Duan Yan's ability, but Duan Yan has already studied Hongnong King's tactics, and he knows Hongnong King like the back of his hand."

"No matter what, Duan Wei will be the most suitable candidate. If even he can't win, then we have only a dead end after all, isn't it?"

Shi Sunrui frowned, and took a long breath: "Duan Yan is indeed more suitable, and we have not moved the Xiliang Xiaoqi before, and now it is just right for them to fight Nanyang."

"According to intelligence"

Shi Sun Rui said softly: "The vast majority of King Hongnong's troops are infantry, and there are only two thousand elite cavalry. Such soldiers and horses are not even as many as Xiliang Xiaoqi."

"Of course, King Hongnong must want to go to Chang'an and fight Han Sui and Ma Teng. In this way, there will be more cavalry, but if we take the initiative to fight and make a strong breakthrough, we may have the strength to fight."

Yuan Kui was naturally aware of this point. His original strategic intention was to change his family with Nanyang: "The general is right, but there is still a problem that has not been resolved."

"Oh?"

Shi Sun Rui couldn't help being curious: "What's the problem?"

Yuan Kui said softly: "Nanyang Hanting must have assassinated in Chang'an, and the other party seems to have adopted some special method to pass on the information quickly and without leaking traces."

"Once there is a big movement here, we will definitely not be able to escape Nanyang's eyes. With King Hongnong's intelligence, we can completely guess our strategic intentions based on our next actions."

"In this way, the opponent will definitely make preparations in advance, and if we fight like this, I'm afraid it will still be difficult to win. If this point is not resolved, we must not act rashly, otherwise we will kill ourselves."

The confidentiality of information and the advantages of speed have made Nanyang Hanting invincible. This is like playing rock-paper-scissors. Yuan Kai will always come out first. Make moves to target.

Motherfucker!
This damn is no different from cheating.

Yuan Kai was keenly aware of this, so he stood still and was thinking about countermeasures.

But even so, the dispatch of troops as a last resort must have aroused Nanyang's attention.

Now, the problem facing Yuan Kai is that if he makes a drastic move, he must make a move first to arouse Liu Bian's suspicion, and then speculate on the move.

But if there is no move and the soldiers stay still, Han Sui, Ma Teng, Liu Bei, and Guan Yu will inevitably concentrate their forces and rush to Chang'an, which is tantamount to waiting for death.

Yuan Ji was deeply touched by this: "Uncle's words are justified. What happened to Ma Chao and Yan Xing has already proved that the speed of the other party's intelligence far exceeds ours."

"But we searched all over Chang'an and its surrounding areas, but we couldn't find any horses that were faster than our post station. This is obviously not normal."

"Nanyang Hanting must have their own way of transmitting information, but we don't know it yet. If this is not resolved, it is indeed difficult to win."

Shi Sun Rui frowned: "Faster than a war horse? Could it be that they used birds?"

Yuan Ji smiled: "Birds? War horses can be trained on horseback, but how to train birds? It's impossible!"

Shi Sunrui said softly: "Perhaps the only thing faster than a war horse is a bird, isn't it?"

"This"

Yuan Ji nodded and nodded: "That's true, but no matter what, it's always a bit unbelievable. How can humans control birds? They fly aimlessly. How can they fly where they want to fly?"

From the beginning to the end, Yuan Ji didn't really believe in Shi Sun Rui's suspicion. Even Shi Sun Rui himself was a little unconfident, but he only had such a guess from the result backwards.

"That's true."

Master Sun Rui nodded.

In this case, even if he can't convince himself, how can he convince others?

However, Yuan Kai, who was at the top, became serious, frowned and said in thought: "In terms of speed alone, birds are indeed faster than war horses. After all, war horses are also restricted by the road, but birds can go straight to their destination."

"what?"

Yuan Ji was stunned, with an expression of disbelief: "Uncle, how could this... person control the birds?"

Yuan Kai was disdainful, and asked instead: "Before there were no war horses, people would not have believed that one day, people would be able to ride them to fight."

"Wild horses still need training to become war horses. Perhaps birds also need special training before they can become tools for transmitting information. It's just that we haven't mastered this method."

Shi Sun Ruien nodded: "It makes sense, but Nanyang can control it? Isn't this too unbelievable?"

Yuan Kui said coldly: "Which thing Hongnong did is not incredible? His escape from Luoyang has already shocked the world. Now he can establish such a career, it is simply shocking."

"Nanyang's god kite crossbow, the imperial court has not been able to break it up to now. There is also an aluminum alloy armor, which is not only light in texture, but also has amazing defensive power. There is also ecological breeding of rice field fish."

"these things."

Yuan Kai glanced at the two of them: "Isn't it worth our reflection? Not to mention the way to train birds, Nanyang is to train fish. I believe it is possible!"

"This"

The two were stunned.

Yuan Kai had already made up his mind: "Let's do this. Immediately send people to search from house to house in Chang'an City. But all the houses that raise poultry will be arrested, and there will be no one left."

Yuan Ji and Shi Sun Rui had no choice but to bow their hands and say, "Here."

Anyway, this is a way.

It would be best if there is something to gain, even if not, it can confuse the other party's sight.
