The frail counselor you said, you fight against three heroes alone?

Chapter 232 Xi Yu led the army to fight, and Lu Lingqi was the personal guard

According to the order from Xuzhou, Xi Yu mobilized 500 troops from Zhang Liao's command, all of which were recruited by Zhang Liao just now, and then Xi Yu only left [-] troops for Zhang Liao to guard Hefei.

At the same time, Xi Yu gave Zhang Liao a strategy: only ambush soldiers and horses at the land pass, but no defenses were set up. Soldiers, horses and anti-war ships were stationed on the river bank. The horses were dispatched, rushed to the enemy's camp and burned their food and grass, and then they could chase Sun Ce's brother and beat him fiercely.

This battle strategy was formulated by Xi Yu's design institute, and Zhang Liao didn't know what to do.

Sun Ce is known as the little overlord, and Zhang Liao is indeed not fully sure of defeating this person.

But who is Sun Quan? Zhang Liao has never seen him, and he has never known him.

Zhang Liao stood on the bank of the river and looked at Xiaoyaojin from a distance, but he couldn't see the defenses, only a little smoke from the kitchen.

The waterway is quite wide, and he estimated that it would take at least half an hour to board it.

Now there are fifteen giant Yuan Rong crossbows here, and there are [-] arrows in preparation. The city of Hefei is rushing to manufacture them. Zhang Liao is very aware of the heavy responsibility on his shoulders.

At this moment, in the Hefei government office.

"Wenyuan!"

After returning from the barracks, Zhang Liao quickly got the latest news.

The person who reported the letter was Wei Xu, one of Lu Bu's eight great generals in the past. After Lu Bu died in battle, this man returned to Xi Yu's command, and Xi Yu sent him to Hefei with a command of [-] troops to serve as Zhang Liao's right-hand man.

"Sun Ce has stationed [-] soldiers and horses here, and is still adding more soldiers and horses to this place. It is speculated that Sun Ce must want to take Hefei at all costs."

Hearing this, Zhang Liao sneered.

"It's okay."

After guarding Hefei for nearly a year, Zhang Liao now has the demeanor of a general.

In the old days when Lu Bu was still there, Zhang Liao was the most respected person.

Many times, Lu Bu's soldiers were more convinced by Zhang Liao, just because Liang people admired force, so on the surface, Lu Bu's soldiers really believed in Lu Bu.

Zhang Liao said in a deep voice, "If my predictions are correct, hehe, then Sun Ce already had the intention to attack my Hefei land last year, but at that time Sun Ce was worried that Shouchun would have reinforcements."

"After all, there are nearly 4000 soldiers and horses in Shouchun City, but now, all the soldiers and horses of Shouchun are going to the northern battlefield, leaving only more than [-] people to defend the city, so Sun Ce couldn't help but want to make plans. .”

Hearing this, Wei Xu was very disturbed, and asked, "Wen Yuan, tell me the truth, if Sun Ce really wants to plot Hefei, are you confident in defending Hefei?"

Zhang Liao glanced at Wei Xu, and asked with a smile, "Hearing what you said, does it sound like you're scared?"

In fact, Zhang Liao knew that Wei Xu was definitely not a person who was greedy for life and afraid of death, but Zhang Liao was worried that he would always fight this kind of war in which he won more with less all his life.

This kind of warfare is very difficult.

Wei Xu sighed, "No, I'm not afraid."

"I heard that Sun Ce has the power of a little overlord, and is very close to the strength of a parachutist."

"Hehe, this man's combat power is stronger than that of a parachutist, and Sun Ce has powerful advisers. In this battle, we must follow Master Xi's plan, set up ambushes at the pass, and hoard armaments on the river bank."

"If you lose to Sun Ce's army, you should immediately abandon the camp and go back to Shouchun to defend. In short, you only need to try your best to block Sun Ce's army. After the war in the north is over, you can take back the land of Hefei."

Zhang Liao knew very well that now he had to be on his own, he must block the southern barrier, and not let Xi Yu and Cao Cao be distracted by the war in the south, so that he could focus on the war in the north.

Xi Yu and Cao Cao.

One has kindness to Zhang Liao, and the other is his lord who bows his head and professes his allegiance, both are people who cannot be let down.

Zhang Liao was very firm in his heart: he would never let Xi Yu and Cao Cao down.

"Since this is the case, I will risk my life to accompany you to fulfill Master Xi's entrustment."

Wei Xu suddenly nodded helplessly, but his heart quickly became excited.

Zhang Liao is a loyal person. During the year he was stationed in Hefei, Zhang Liao gathered a large number of refugees and hoarded food and grass with the strategy of farming.

Zhang Liao is not like other small princes who disregarded the life and death of the people in order to keep their soldiers and horses alive. Some small princes even indulged their soldiers and horses to devour the people and exploit the people, but Zhang Liao loved the people in the city very much.

Although the people starved for half a year, they finally had food and money, and they were truly benevolent and benevolent. More and more people poured into Hefei City, and these people spontaneously built the city.

In a year's time, Hefei has now become a big city.

In just one year, Zhang Liao won the support of countless people.

Zhang Liao really couldn't bear to give up this city that had been built with painstaking efforts.

But there is one thing that Zhang Liao has never figured out: when he came to Hefei, when he was leaving with Mr. Xi Yu, Mr. Xi once told him that in this world, apart from Zhang Liao, there is no other person who is more suitable to guard Hefei. Zhang Liao really didn't understand what the words meant.

Is this Xi Yu's encouragement to him, or is it because Zhang Liao really has outstanding abilities that Mr. De Xi really values ​​and trusts?

Now, more than half a year has passed, Zhang Liao still hasn't figured it out.

But no matter whether he wants to understand it or not, he is in Hefei, so he can only do his best to manage Hefei well, so as to be worthy of the affirmation and praise of Master Xi.

……

At the beginning of 200, Xi Yu set off. He personally led [-] soldiers and horses from Xuzhou, and Huang Zhong led [-] white cavalry to follow closely behind.

It took Xi Yu three years to train the original 500 people in the supply camp. Among them, Zhao Yun was the most outstanding. He knew all kinds of military tactics and deceitful strategies, and he used soldiers like a god.

At the same time, Zhao Yun's army is strict and strict, and he will not be chaotic in every battle. No matter how many troops there are, Zhao Yun can make the best use of them.

In this regard, Dian Wei can't compare with it at all.

After so many years, compared to Zhao Yun, Dian Wei has doubled his food intake, doubled his strength, and his equestrian skills have also improved a lot. He is capable of being a vanguard, but it is a pity that Dian Wei cannot be used as a leading general after all.

The army was dispatched first, and the required grain and grass were also transported among the various grain stations. Soon, it spread like a beehive, spreading all over the main roads of Xuzhou and Qingzhou.

After martial law, caravans can only travel within their respective territories to ensure that the prices of various commodities will not fluctuate significantly. At the same time, surplus food and grass are ready at any time, and can be replenished as soon as necessary.

How long this battle will last is very unpredictable, so before leaving Qingzhou, Xi Yu spent half a month with his wives to his heart's content, and at the same time went to Tiangong Academy to bid farewell to Mrs. Zou twice.

Xi Yu did not forget to promise Diao Chan that she will take good care of Lu Lingqi during this battle.

However, when approaching Qingzhou, Xi Yu's legs were still weak.

……

Zhao Yun had led troops outside Qingzhou city to welcome Xi Yu's arrival, and Zang Ba, who was already a general in Beihai, Qingzhou, was leading to him.

Zang Ba is very generous, he is tall and big like a giant beast, he also has WeChat, and has great prestige under Zhao Yun's subordinates.

Cheng Yu led Beihai Kong Rong and other celebrities to wait outside Pingshou City, and then welcomed Xi Yu into the city.

The [-] troops led by Xi Yu himself set up camp outside the city.

The white cavalry led by Huang Zhong rushed to the Yellow River and the Jishui area to observe the terrain and the enemy's situation, as well as the building of the ships.

According to Xi Yu's plan, Huang Zhong's white cavalry will go west from Qingzhou, cross the Yellow River, and enter Jizhou.

At night, Zhao Yun cleaned up a courtyard that used to belong to Lu Bu so that Xi Yu and Lu Lingqi could live there.

Afterwards, Zhao Yun reported to Xi Yu what he had gained in Qingzhou these days.

The soldiers and horses increased by 20, and grain and grass were hoarded by 30 shi. Qingzhou originally had more than [-] grain and grass, which was very rich, but last winter disaster provided some food and grass for disaster relief. .

After all, there are gains and losses.

Although a lot of food and grass were wasted, soldiers and people's hearts were gained.

Today, Qingzhou is well-armed, and has built many warships to cross the river. These warships can quickly enter the land of Jizhou, and tens of thousands of troops can be assembled within an hour.

As for Yuan Shao on the other side, there is only one almost abandoned city, and he built his defense on the eastern line of Jizhou.

……

After reporting to Xi Yu, Zhao Yun planned to stand guard in the outer courtyard, which was his long-lost habit.

Although he is now the chariot guarding Qingzhou, in fact, he was originally Xi Yu's guard.

If it hadn't been for Xi Yu's promotion and teaching, if it hadn't been for Xi Yu's virtuous corporal who gave him all his money, Zhao Yun still doesn't know where he is, maybe he is a prisoner of his rank.

Therefore, no matter when and where, Zhao Yun is willing to be Xi Yu's guard.

But tonight, as soon as he stood at the door, he saw Lu Lingqi.

"Mistress...why are you here?"

Zhao Yun was ten years older than Lu Lingqi, but facing such a young girl, he had no choice but to call her mistress respectfully. Although it was a bit funny, Zhao Yun had to do so.

"I am Master Xi Yu's old guard..."

Lu Lingqi said coldly.

"This this……"

Zhao Yun was shocked, but suddenly heard Xi Yu's voice from the yard, "Ling'er, come back to bed with uncle and me, don't cause trouble for General Zilong!"

Hearing this, Lu Lingqi's face darkened immediately, she gritted her teeth, and thought to herself: Ling'er, Ling'er's...you really think of yourself as my uncle!
"Bastard!"

Lu Lingqi snorted coldly, then turned around and walked into the middle hall, and then came to the inner courtyard. After seeing Xi Yu, she followed him to the door of the backyard, where Lu Lingqi gritted her teeth and stood outside the door.

"I will guard here tonight, there is no problem!"

Lu Lingqi's face flushed a little, but her expression was very proud.

At this moment, she has no intention of entering the room with Xi Yu at all, she is very clear about her identity and position, although before coming here, Xiaoniang had encouraged a good relationship with Master Xi.

but……

For the proud Lu Lingqi, this is very impossible!

Even though she had some intimate contact with Xi Yu in the Yangsheng Villa before, and even recalled it in a dream, Lu Lingqi only felt a deep sense of guilt.

Moreover, the closer he was to Xi Yu, the stronger the feeling of guilt.

But on the other hand, Lu Lingqi has a competitive heart: she wants to compare all the wives of Xi Yu.

Xi Yu glanced at Lu Lingqi, smiled lightly and said, "Since you agreed to be my personal guard, you should come into the house with me!"

"Ah You……"

Lu Lingqi blushed immediately, not knowing what to do.

At this time, Xi Yu approached Lu Lingqi and said solemnly, "Ling'er, have you ever figured out what is a personal guard?"

"Closer! Of course it is necessary to be close to the body! The guard, of course the overnight guard! In short, you must guard my safety by my pillow!"

"What... Impossible!"

Hearing this, Lu Lingqi's complexion changed drastically, and she was even more frightened for a while. She instinctively wanted to retreat, but it was too late.

Xi Yu suddenly reached out and pulled her into the room.

Xi Yu was very strong, but Lu Lingqi didn't resist too much, and was easily pulled into the room by Xi Yu just now...

At this moment, outside the gate of this courtyard.

Zhao Yun was still the old guard, guarding the door very peacefully, without any changes.

In Qingzhou Pingshou City, it was another quiet and peaceful night.

……

Three days later, Xi Yu's army landed in Jizhou on a warship.

Before Cao Cao and Yuan Shao set up a frontal battlefield, Qingzhou soldiers and horses had entered the land of Jizhou, backed by the Yellow River and Jishui, quickly set up camp, and at the same time kept gathering nearby soldiers and horses.

For this reason, Xi Yu ordered to send several waves of cavalry to explore the camp, going as far as ten miles away to inquire about news.

That night, Xi Yu was having dinner at the Chinese army camp, holding the rice bowl in his hand, Xi Yu always wondered if he would hear some news of an ambush, and then directly smashed a bowl of Xi Yu rice on the table.

Xi Yu secretly thought in his heart: I have been with Cao Cao for a long time, maybe I am also ambushed...

"Report!!"

At this moment, there was a sound outside the door.

"boom!"

With a subconscious action, Xi Yu threw a bowl of rice on the copybook, and Lu Lingqi, who was standing beside Xi Yu, was instantly startled.

"what are you doing?!"

Although these days, Lu Lingqi has become more docile, but at the moment her voice is still quite straightforward.

Perhaps because of being a general, Lu Lingqi exudes a heroic aura, coupled with her beautiful face, Xi Yu likes it very much.

"Hehe, it's okay, an unintentional reaction..." Xi Yu smiled lightly.

Xi Yu looked up, and the person who came in to report was Huang Zhong, the vanguard general of the Qianfeng Battalion.

Huang Zhong is the former leader of the army. At this moment, he is carrying a big bow and has an arrow basket on his waist. Although Huang Zhong is getting older, he is still tall and mighty.

Xi Yu looked at Huang Zhong and asked, "General Huang, what are you talking about here?"

Huang Zhong immediately replied, "My lord, my subordinates are in charge of the terrain investigation. It has all been completed. The east of Jizhou is mostly surrounded by mountains, and then there are plains. There is no camp in the distance, but there is a camp ten miles away. stationed."

"As early as when we were crossing the river, Yuan Shao's sentry cavalry abandoned the camp by the river, and the news must have reached Yuan Shao's camp by now."

"I can lead a few people to investigate."

"Okay." Xi Yu nodded.

Xi Yu really believes in Huang Zhong's ability, and Huang Zhong's horse archery is unmatched by anyone. The news Xi Yu wants most now is which general will guard the eastern battlefield, how many soldiers and horses, how are the weapons, and the stockpile of food and grass? where.

If it can be found out, it will be very beneficial to the battle, but if it can't be found out, it is also a normal thing.

Huang Zhong immediately took the order to leave and went to inquire about the news.

But not long after Huang Zhong left, Lu Lingqi's voice came from Xi Yu's ear, "Now, we come here alone, with Da Jiang behind us, is this too aggressive?"

"If you don't take risks, how can you attract the opponent to attack? What I'm worried about is that the general stays in the city and doesn't dare the lord to attack. In this way, we will be held back instead..." Xi Yu smiled lightly.

"Just wait and see, by the way, how is your health?" Xi Yu looked at Lu Lingqi and asked with concern with a smile.

Lu Lingqi's face turned red immediately, and she said softly, "I have rested for two days, and now I have recovered."

"it is good."

……

In this territory of Jizhou, there are mostly plains, and there is a road from Qingzhou that leads directly to Yecheng.

This is a straight road, easy to defend but difficult to attack.

There is a natural moat in Qingzhou. Now that the soldiers and horses in Qingzhou have come out of the natural moat, there is no longer any worry.

The general on the eastern battlefield is Ju Yi.

Ju Yi, a general under Yuan Shao's command, used a large shield to conquer Gongsun Zan's White Horse Yi Cong during the battle with Gongsun Zan's Youzhou.

But these so-called Yi Cong are not powerful characters.

The reason why Yuan Shao could not fight was due to lack of experience. Ju Yi himself was a nomad, and he knew how to deal with Baima Yicong, who was similar to a nomad.

They blocked their charge with large shield soldiers, and then used the method of beheading the horse's feet to make Baima Yicong's war horse very afraid. Once the formation is disordered, they will naturally be attacked and failure will become inevitable.

Furthermore, archers can be arranged behind the large shield to aim at the enemy and shoot a volley, which can also reap extraordinary achievements.

Therefore, Yuan Shao thought that Ju Yi had a lot of experience in dealing with cavalry, and he had just confronted Gongsun Zan's Baima Yicong, so he was able to make the best use of him, so he transferred him from Liyang in the south of Yecheng to Qinghe County.

Among Qinghe County, Yanjin is nearby, and it is very likely that Pingyuan will be the first to encounter Xiyu's soldiers.

At this moment, outside the plain, a large camp is sitting in Anza.

Ju Yi was eating in the camp, but he was quite depressed at the moment, his eyes were looking at the ground blankly, and he was full of doubts.

For example, he has made great achievements, but he has not achieved much, and he has made great contributions, but he is not appointed an official or general.

Another example, this time guarding the west side, they will face the famous general Zhao Zilong and the famous general Xi Yu.

These two people are both generals with great prestige in Qingxu and Xuzhou, especially Xi Yu. Some people say that he was born as a civil servant, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

But Ju Yi felt that because Xi Yu was a military general who was born as a civil servant, this was the most terrifying thing.

Xi Yu can be said to be both civil and military, and has a high prestige in the army and the hearts of the people, so it is even more difficult to deal with.

But in the face of such a difficult person, Yuan Shao did not send him any military advisers, but asked him to rely on a group of warriors to resist Xi Yu, both civil and military. What's more, Yuan Shao only gave him 30 soldiers and horses, and the remaining [-] All the soldiers and horses were transferred to Liyang, down to Dongjun, along the Guandu line, and confronted Cao Cao in an all-round way.

There is no need to think about how long these soldiers and horses can last.

But Ju Yi is very clear in his heart that the credit for this battle is almost lost to him...
