Three Kingdoms: Stealing the Tiger Talisman and forcing Yuan Shao to become a monk

Chapter 534
At this time, King Nanlou, with [-] elite riders, was rushing towards Ji Town.

He thought that his whereabouts were quite secretive, and he was dreaming of a sudden attack on Ji Zhen's defenders, with divine soldiers descending from the sky.

How could he have imagined that his movements had already been detected by the sentry sent out by Yuan Tan in advance.

Even though Yuan Tan had set off with five thousand Futu iron guards and Xu Shu was in Ji Town, the arrangement of these sentries was still tight.

"According to the report from the military, Nanlou has already reached Ji Town a hundred miles away, and it is expected to arrive at the base of Ji Town this afternoon."

Yuan Tan has already left, and the camp of Ji Town has been handed over to Xu Shu to lead.

Deng Ai, as Yuan Tan's deputy general, was taken along with him, and the next battle in Jizhen was to defend the city, and Xu Shu alone was in charge.

Instead, it was later when Yuan Tan led the cavalry to raid Su Puyan's tribe and intercept Qian Liang.

We need to use Deng Ai, a brave fighter.

Anyway, after Xu Shu has been strengthened, his martial arts has reached a first-class level, and it is more than enough to defend Ji Town.

Seeing Xu Shu sitting in the tent of the Chinese army, the generals below were a little surprised.

But Pan Gui and others all knew that Xu Shu was Yuan Tan's eldest disciple, and even Yuan Tan's senior official, and he was a first-class confidant and important minister.

Therefore, even though it seems that Xu Shu is just a frail scholar with a taller stature, the generals below still dare not neglect him.

At this moment, I heard Xu Shu say that the Wuhuan people have already arrived hundreds of miles away.

The generals below were a little surprised for a while, and looked at each other.

Pan Gui immediately stepped forward and asked for orders: "Master Changshi, do you want to send troops to fight Wuhuan cavalry?"

Xu Shu shook his head and said: "The soldiers are not yet well-educated, so they are not allowed to go out to fight in the field. The generals gathered today are just for defense, Pan Gui."

Pan Gui immediately raised his chest and said, "The last general is here!"

Xu Shu drew out a command arrow and said, "How is the training of the thousand longbowmen under your command and the other four captain's longbowmen?"

Pan Gui patted his chest and said: "Lord Chang Shi, don't worry. Brothers practice archery day and night. Within a hundred steps, you can be sure to hit the target. If you are a hundred or fifty steps away, you can be sure to land in the arrow circle!"

Xu Shu nodded in satisfaction. He knew the special features of the English longbow. It was quite rare for the five thousand longbowmen under the command of the five captains to be able to train to this level in just three to five days.

"Okay, today I will make you the false captain of Changshui, and temporarily the commander of the long archers battalion. You will lead five thousand long archers and stand by at the north city wall. Once a Wuhuan man approaches a hundred and fifty steps, he will immediately open his bow and shoot arrows. No one will give way. The enemy army approached the city more than a hundred steps away, do you understand?"

When Pan Gui heard that he was promoted to be a fake captain, he was shocked immediately.

Several captains next to him also showed envious eyes.

Although Pan Gui is just a fake school lieutenant now, if you think about it, you will know that when this battle is over, as long as Jizhen can hold on.

Pan Gui can definitely rely on his military exploits to change from a fake captain to a real captain!
This motherfucker has reached the sky in one step!

You know, the captain has at most a thousand soldiers and horses under his command, but a school lieutenant has at least five thousand soldiers under his command. If there is a war, he can even directly control more than ten thousand soldiers and horses!

Not to mention, between the captain and the school lieutenant, there are other officials like Sima.

This is equivalent to jumping several levels!
How to make them not envious?

But the envy is the envy, Pan Gui and his head archers have been the hardest training among the five thousand long archers during this period.

Xu Shu also saw it, and that's why he specially promoted Pan Gui as the temporary chief officer of the Longbow Battalion.

The captains below were also quite convinced and did not cause any trouble.

After arranging Pan Gui, Xu Shu's eyes fell on the remaining captains, and he named them one after another.

The commanders of these captains are all infantry, and in the three-stage combat method left by Yuan Tan, they will be used as the last round to replace the previous longbowmen for salvo.

"Several generals, have you been proficient in bow and arrow shooting skills these days?"

Several captains nodded and said: "Master Qihou has an order, how dare we disobey him? The men have already been trained. We just wait for the Wuhuan man to come down to the city and discipline him whether he comes back or not!"

Seeing that the captains were all confident, Xu Shu nodded, relieved, handed the command arrows to the captains, and ordered: "Lead your troops and horses and gather at the north city wall. The method of three-stage attack arranged, step forward to change the longbow in time to throw, do you understand?"

Several captains nodded repeatedly.

The remaining captains, under Xu Shu's arrangement, were responsible for defending the other three city walls to prevent the Wuhuan people from attacking.

After making all the arrangements, Xu Shu prepared to let the generals disperse, and told their subordinates to prepare psychologically for the war.

It's just that I haven't had time to say the end of the meeting.Outside the tent of the Chinese army, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps.

"My lord! Mr. Jushou, please see me!" Hearing the hurried footsteps, Xu Shu was wondering who would come here at this time.

The guards guarding the tent door have come in to report.

Xu Shu nodded and said, "Please come in quickly, sir."

Jushou is a well-known sage in Hebei, and his reputation is big enough to be called famous all over the world.

Now that Jushou has joined Yuan Tan again, everyone is in the same trench, so Xu Shu will naturally not neglect.

After Jushou came in, he bowed his hands hurriedly to Xu Shu as a salute, but then his eyes fell on the rest of the captains in the camp.

When the captains saw Jushou's appearance, they naturally guessed that Mr. Jushou had something confidential to tell Master Changshi.

All of them retreated with their hands folded.

After all the captains had left, Ju Shou finally spoke, with an undisguised haste and panic in his tone: "Xu Changshi, did your lord lead the troops away from Ji Town?"

Xu Shu nodded and said, "I have already led the troops away this morning. Do you have something urgent to report to the teacher?"

Ju Shou stomped his feet and said, "Hey, why didn't Xu Changshi stop the lord? The lord only has [-] cavalry under his command. How can he deal with Su Puyan's army?"

Hearing Jushou's words, Xu Shu frowned: "Sir, do you know that Su Puyan is escorting Wuhuan's money and food?"

Ju Shou smiled wryly, and said: "Although my four families have already taken refuge in the lord, those aristocratic families in Hebei still have the intention to win over my four families, so they will naturally reveal part of their plan, and I guessed it."

Regarding Jushou's words, Xu Shu believed that, after all, Jushou had behaved himself since he came to Jizhen.

In addition to sending a volume to the family that Yuan Tan gave him, about the family's preliminary plan for developing the grassland.

All correspondence with the family will first pass through his hands, and only after checking that there is no possibility of leaking military information will it be sent or retracted.

Therefore, after hearing Ju Sue's words, Xu Shu did not have any doubts about Ju Sue, but instead admired Ju Sue more and more.

Sure enough, Xu Shu could guess it without thinking too much.

Even if those Hebei aristocratic families want to win over the four major families, it is absolutely impossible to reveal any particularly important information in the past.

It was probably just a few words, and Ju Shou was able to analyze from these words that the aristocratic family must have sent a large amount of money and food to the Wuhuan people, and Yuan Tan's sudden departure with his troops must have robbed the money and food.

He is indeed a man of great talent.

Therefore, Xu Shu's tone to Jushou was also very gentle, and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Gong and Mr. Teacher, the five thousand Futu iron guards under the teacher's command are all Xuzhou's fierce soldiers who use one to ten or even one to twenty to deal with Su Puyan's soldiers. More than enough horses!"
