Chapter 142 The Impact of Reform

Zhao Tai summoned the subordinate officials, and Han Yu and Gao Ai who received the order had already set up troops on the plain, and the catapults used for the siege had already been erected on the top of the city.

Gold juice?That thing has been eliminated, and even the Rolling Stones have to stand back even though they are prepared.

Use a catapult to drop explosives for a long-range attack, and throw explosives when you get closer.

With this style of play, many armies only provide food.

It doesn't even need the enemy to attack the city wall, throwing a dozen packs of explosives in the past will defeat the opponent.

"Fan Yu, do Zhaojun and Julu's troops have any intention of leaving the city and coming to Changshan?"

The distance between the ancient cities was quite far. If you want to fight the opponent, you have to lead the army to cross this distance. You can’t see the opponent’s city wall by standing on your own city wall, unless you have clairvoyance or a telescope. no.

When soldiers approach the city, they fight all the way to the opponent. During the marching distance, there are too many things to do, such as ambush, such as encircling Wei and saving Zhao, such as Chen Bing waiting for work in a certain place, which is too much to pay attention to.

Whoever is stupid will do nothing when the enemy is about to attack, so that the opponent can reach him smoothly.

The battle is not only offensive and defensive, but also field battles.

"General, according to what the scouts at the front line said, Commander Zhao only has the intention of stationing troops for defense, and has no intention of sending troops to attack. The same is true for Julu. This subordinate dares to say a lie. It is considered good if our Changshan army does not attack them now. The opponent stationed troops in the front, I am afraid that they have to pray to heaven and earth to make sure that Changshan has no intention of attacking."

The words are rough and the rationale is not rough, if you want to say it, it is really not different from what Fan Xi said.

"It's a pity that the lord once said that if the opponent has no intention of attacking, you can't send troops. Otherwise, this general really wants to meet them. Then Han Suihe went to Youzhou to make a big impact, but this general can do it."

"Then send someone there according to what my lord said, and ask them what their intentions are for suddenly mobilizing the army, so you don't need to save face."

Fan Xi smiled lightly and took the order to select candidates for the envoy. He didn't need to find any eloquent counselors, just send a team of soldiers.

They weren't trying to persuade them to surrender, or trying to seek some purpose with words, they were simply asking.

This situation is really not very polite. It's like several countries bordering each other, and suddenly other countries conduct some military exercises. It's their own business, and outsiders have no right to intervene.

As a result, there is a country that does not want to analyze other people's military intentions, and directly sends people to ask them what is the purpose of doing this, and if they want to touch me.

It belongs to interfering in other people's internal military operations. The key point is that the other party dare not not answer, and they have to be careful when speaking, lest they make mistakes and cause war.

Is it polite?That's not polite at all.

But Zhao Tai dared to say that, and his subordinates also dared to do this. It was not arrogance to describe it, but treating the other party as a weak person.

Although they are really the weak side.

Gao Ai is far away from the other party here, and seems to be much gentler, but he just sent someone to ask.

Han Yu on the other side of the Hutuo River in Xingtang County is not like this.

He hadn't led the army into Changshan territory yet, and was still on the territory of Zhongshan County, not far from Shangquyang.

After getting Zhao Tai's order, he didn't do the trick of sending people to inquire, but handed over all the trophies to the Xingtang County Army to take care of and transport them.

With a thousand cavalry and two thousand infantry, he ran to the opposite of Shangquyang with a combined force of three thousand.

The army that followed him in Youzhou was full of murderous intent. It is true that Zhao Tai's army is the most capable army at the moment. Winning consecutive battles in Yuyang County of Youzhou sounds like that is the case.

But we have to say that we have gone through a lot of battles outside of the siege. They are all troops coming out of the battlefield. No matter how clean they are, they can still smell the pungent smell of blood.

Before the cold weapons are completely eliminated, it will take a long time for this bloody smell to disappear.

The tall Hanji flag was erected, and they just stood there to make the other party dare not move in vain, and they dared not even shout loudly.

Only the army is stationed, there is not even any decent food and supplies, and it will take at least more than a day to transport the food and grass.

In this society where fighting for ten days and a half months is normal, not having enough food and supplies is very dangerous.

If you can't beat the enemy's city and get supplies, you will either be desperate to attack the city without remembering the loss, or you will have to withdraw your troops.

At this time, if there is no food to choose to withdraw, it is undoubtedly to hand over the initiative to the enemy, but any general who has spare strength and sufficient ability will not let go of this good opportunity.

Is this kind of taboo of military strategists but in name only here in Han Yu, without food and supplies?If the other party doesn't know what's good and what's wrong, wouldn't it be enough to fight into the city?

It wasn't that he was arrogant and arrogant, but that during the period when he led the troops to Youzhou, he really understood what it means to be vulnerable.

It's the kind that I have always attached great importance to you, and I have never been greedy for meritorious service, but you only care about running after the real contact, and some tough ones are also killed indiscriminately.

The siege of a city is like picking something out of a pocket, and he will be a little more scrupulous in field battles, so as not to stumble, but for the most difficult siege battle, it is the easiest for them, and the situation is completely reversed.

In this way, how can you make Han Yu worry, and how can you have scruples about not having enough food and grass, then there is no worry at all.

As Tian Yu joined the army, he also provided assistance in field operations during the march, but he didn't do much to attack the city.

It's completely reckless style of play, either you surrender or attack.

Before the siege, sending people to shoot arrows without arrows into the city, spreading the news to cause chaos in the city, sending envoys to persuade them to surrender, and Xiaozhi's routine methods of using emotion to reason.

The most common phenomenon is to surrender directly. The other is to refuse to surrender and choose to resist to the end, and then be violently bombarded and break through the city gate.

Every time Tian Yu saw this kind of situation, he lamented that he was wise, being in this kind of camp was so safe, so confident, and he liked this kind of battle that didn't require much thought.

No one can refuse the pleasure of pushing all the way, even if they don't maximize their talents.

"Tian joins the army and we are just going to stay here and do nothing?"

Han Yu is the leader of an army, and he basically decides what to do, but he still respects Tian Yu. He is indeed good at fighting, but Tian Yu's skills are much higher than him.

He may be able to bring [-] soldiers to his limit, but Tian Yu's abilities are much more than that. He can use them with ease even if he is given [-] soldiers.

Although he didn't have a hundred thousand soldiers and horses for him, Tian Yu was able to arrange Liu Yu's army in Yuyang County with the huge food, supplies and spoils in the fastest time, which was unmatched by Han Yu. .

There are tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of materials, Han Yu asked himself whether he could not do it well in a short period of time, and it would take a lot of time to do it well.

So faintly, Han Yu had already placed Tian Yu's status on an equal footing with his own, or even a bit higher.

"You don't need to do anything. The purpose of coming here is to deter the opponent. It is no different from after the end. The delivery of the spoils is much more important than taking down Shangquyang. What's more, the lord has no intention of going to war now."

"Then we just need to wait for the booty to cross the river before withdrawing our troops, and ask them what they intend to do with the gathering of troops."

"In fact, there is no need to ask. The troops stationed here are to guard against me Changshan. My lord said that I want to ask the other party's intentions. The fundamental purpose is to deter the other party. What the lord wants is not the so-called war or not."

He knew very well what Zhao Tai was going to do to the family, and the rumors about the reform were not false, but he didn't know why Zhao Tai didn't want to respond now.

But as long as he knows Zhao Tai's true intention, that's enough. He can't guess anything else right now. Wouldn't it be better to just go back and ask?

"You still know how to join the army. I really wanted to go up and ask before, but looking at it now, they were just scared by the rumors. It takes courage and strength for them to fight Chang Shan with me."

The garrison is here to prevent the enemy from affecting the transportation of spoils, and whether to fight or not is not the primary purpose.

The situation of Zhongshan, Zhao, and Julu was unknown to Liu Yu and Han Fu, and it was a local spontaneous behavior.

They didn't dare to offend Zhao Tai, but it was also possible that they knew but acquiesced to the occurrence of these things. After all, they were also afraid.

Moreover, Ju Shou personally told Han Fu, and Liu Yu also had Tian Feng to confirm that such a big event cannot be fully believed, but it is necessary to prepare in advance.

The key point is that they also gained great benefits, that is, they got the support of the aristocratic family that has become panic-stricken due to the political reform.

It's not just as simple as sending people to help, it's directly transporting money and food to increase their strength.

Having money and food is confidence. Needless to say, recruiting troops and buying horses, the most important thing is to make the rule quickly stable, and the mess is no longer bad.

Not only are the two states of Youji and Hebei recovering rapidly and growing in strength, but the aristocratic families in other places who have received the news do not dare to neglect and start to exert their efforts.

For example, the three brothers Liu Bei originally had few troops at the beginning, but they just formed a rebel army of several hundred people to fight against the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou, hoping to get an official position based on their military exploits.

That's what he went for. At first, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu helped him, and the results were good, but the results of small fights were limited.

As a result, aristocratic families from all over the world suddenly became courteous, sending money and food to people, wishing to arm them to the teeth.

Of course Liu Bei was happy, and he led tens of thousands of troops to kill in Qingzhou, and the speed of quelling the unrest was several levels faster, and the names of the three Liu Bei brothers became more and more famous.

Similar to him are Sun Jian, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, these people who have made great achievements in wearing yellow scarves earlier. I dare not even think about such a thing.

But they all know why this is, and why the aristocratic family is so kind, it is not simply supporting them, but trying to protect their own interests.

After all, Zhao Tai is terrible, and the reform is even more terrible.
