Three Kingdoms Strong Army System

Liu Zhang looked in the tent, the generals asked for a fight, very helpless, the army's morale is available, how can it dampen their enthusiasm.

After all, they are working for themselves.

After thinking about it, Liu Zhang said with a smile to everyone: "Although the Central Plains is rich, it is a land of hundreds of battles. Yuan Shao in Hebei is still undecided, so we should not take the Central Plains lightly!"

Gan Ning said loudly: "I am a powerful Bajun, and my lord will not give up. I will be used as a general. I am willing to be the vanguard and destroy Yuan Shao for my lord!"

Too bad, the limelight was stolen by Gan Ning.

Zhang Jie, Wu Yi, Wu Ban and others immediately came out and shouted in unison: "We are also willing to wipe out Yuan Shao for the Lord."

In the big tent, only Zhang He, Gao Lan and Zhu Ling were silent.Because the three of them were originally Yuan Shao's generals, and they surrendered because of Liu Yuan's first war with the state.

Although they surrendered, Yuan Shao was their old master, how could they ask for a fight.

Liu Zhang thought about it, and felt that everyone was so excited, why not go across the river and beat Yuan Shao.

He Mingfazheng immediately sent someone to contact Ma Teng to inquire about the battle situation in Hanoi County.

Only four days later, the envoy sent by Liu Zhang returned. He told Ma Teng about the situation there. Ma Teng had already defeated Yuan Shang's [-] army in Xiuwu, and was about to go east to regain lost ground.

Liu Zhang thought for a while, then called all the generals to discuss, and finally decided to send Zhang He, Gao Lan, and Zhu Ling with [-] troops to guard Chenliu County. He and other generals crossed the Yellow River north to Hanoi for reinforcements.

The Yellow River is so fast that it can only be transported by large ships. There are not many large ships in Chenliu, but Liu Chang, the prefect of Hanoi County, built some large ships, which can just cross Liu Zhang's 2 people.

Liu Zhang led 2 people to Hanoi County, and then went straight to Huai County, just in time to meet Liu Chang, the prefect of Hanoi who was returning from Chaoge with his troops.

Liu Zhang is still very satisfied with this old subordinate of his own. He is unknown in history, but in fact he is quite good in training himself.

He ordered Liu Chang to arrange food and grass for himself immediately, and then ordered [-] soldiers to rest in Huai County for one night, and then took them east the next day.

Ma Teng, who was in Chaoge, also received news from the rear that the lord Liu Zhang had brought 2 people for reinforcements, which meant that they had repelled Cao Cao.

The three counties of Huojia, Jixian, and Gongxian between Xiuwu and Chaoge were also recovered by Ma Chao, Zhang Qin, and Zhang Kui.

Ma Teng immediately sent someone to send an order, ordering them to leave the wounded to guard the county, and then bring a large force to Chaoge to join him.

He ordered his soldiers to investigate Zhanshui, and found that Zhanshui was too fast and wide to build a pontoon bridge. A detour to Zhanshui upstream would delay the marching time.

Two days later, Ma Chao, Zhang Qin, and Zhang Kui joined him with 5000 people.

Five days later, Liu Zhang arrived at Chaoge with 2 people.

The small city of Chaoge couldn't accommodate so many soldiers. Ma Teng had already asked the soldiers to prepare camps outside the city, and then went out to meet Liu Zhang.

Ma Teng reported to Liu Zhang the casualties and results of the battle in detail in the past few days. Liu Zhang was very satisfied and encouraged Ma Teng, and then said: "Yuan Shao was defeated the year before last and lost [-] troops, although he has recovered some troops in the past two years." , but there is nothing to be afraid of. He now has [-] elites in Bingzhou, Qingzhou also has [-] in Yuan Tan's hands, and tens of thousands are guarding Youzhou. There are not many troops left in Jizhou. We have to go all out. Fight to Yecheng."

Ma Teng showed a surprised expression. He originally thought that he would be fine just after recovering Hanoi County, but he didn't expect Liu Zhang to take such a big step.

After Liu Zhang finished speaking, Wu Ban, Wu Yi, Gan Ning and others immediately became excited, and they clamored to send troops to the north immediately.

Ma Teng was also taken aback. He told Liu Zhang that the boat was ready and ready to cross the water at any time.

Liu Zhang immediately ordered Ma Teng to be the vanguard to cross Zhanshui and capture Dangyin County.

Ma Teng quickly crossed the water with 1 people, and then attacked Dangyin. Liu Zhang led the main force of [-], transported grain, grass and equipment, and slowly crossed the water by boat.

By the time their 5 people, food, grass and equipment had all passed through the water, Ma Teng had conquered Dangyin County.

They were only seventy miles away from Yecheng, where Yuan Shao ruled, and the army could march there in two days.

Yuan Shang and Wen Chou were taken back by Liu Chang and defeated by Ma Teng from the front. They fled to Dangyin, and then fled back to Yecheng.

However, they also left spies in Dangyin. After Ma Teng's vanguard army captured Dangyin, the spies arranged by Yuan Shang also sent the news back to Yecheng.

Suddenly, Yuan Shang panicked.

Because, Yuan Shao is in Bingzhou, the elder brother Yuan Tan is in Qingzhou, the second brother Yuan Xi is in Youzhou, and only he and his mother and sister are in Yecheng in the family.

What's more terrible is that Yuan Shao and Yuan Shang's 15 troops were all drawn from Jizhou. Now Ye County and the soldiers he brought back only have 3 troops.

How to do?
Yuan Shang immediately summoned the two brothers Xin Pi and Xin Ping who stayed behind in Yecheng to ask for their opinions.

They gave several suggestions.

[-]. Immediately close the gates of the city and prohibit the people from leaving the city at will.

[-]. Notify the surrounding cities and prepare to defend to the death.

[-]. Send someone to notify Grand Sima Yuan Shao, and ask him to return to Yecheng immediately.

[-]. Prepare the equipment for defending the city.

Since Yuan Shao occupied Jizhou, Ye County has never been attacked by the enemy, so he did not prepare any defensive equipment in Ye City, and now he has to start preparing.

Yecheng was the seat of Wei Jun. Later, Yuan Shao won Jizhou from Han Fu and transferred the Jizhou government to Yecheng.

The city of Ye was on the south bank of the Zhangshui River, on a plain. Liu Zhang attacked from the south, so there was no danger to defend.

Before the main force of Liu Zhang arrived in Dangyang County, he ordered Ma Teng to lead the vanguard army into Jizhou, and then camped twenty miles south of Yecheng.

If the camps are too close, it is easy to be spotted by the defenders of Yecheng. If the other party comes to harass them, it will be difficult to set up a camp.

Liu Zhang arrived in Dangyin County, ordered to camp near the county seat to rest, and then called Liu Ye.

"Zi Yang, where are the siege equipment?"

"My lord, the siege equipment has arrived at Chaoge." Liu Ye replied.

"We must send Huwei Qingqi to protect these siege equipment. When they arrive in Ye County, we will attack immediately." Liu Zhang looked at Liu Ye cautiously!

After dawn, Liu Zhang's [-] main force started to break out of camp after breakfast, and continued to march northward. On the afternoon of the third day, they finally arrived at Ma Tengli's camp.

An army of [-] was stationed in twelve camps twenty miles south of Ye County, and Liu Zhang's camp was in the middle.

Yuan Shang adopted the suggestion of the two brothers Xin Pi and Xin Ping. Ye County only allowed the opening of the North Gate at one hour in the morning every day, and then mobilized [-] soldiers to make various defensive utensils. The counties around Ye City also sent people to notify The news that the enemy is coming.

Yuan Shang even sent fifty cavalry to inform Yuan Shao that Liu Zhang had attacked Yecheng. As for Yuan Xi in Youzhou and Yuan Tan in Qingzhou, he also sent people there.

However, he was sure that Yuan Xi would probably send reinforcements, but it was difficult for Yuan Tan, so he had to defend Yecheng by himself until his father came back to help.

If they can't keep it, their Yuan family will be finished.
