Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 557 Why Came So Fast

Liu Xun is still very confident in holding Wan County. His [-]-strong army is not a vegetarian. As long as he can hold on for a period of time, Liu Xun in Shu County or Yuan Shu in Shouchun will naturally be able to defend Wan County. He sent reinforcements.

It is not certain what the outcome of the war will be.

Maybe it was his army who fought back and killed Zhu Wei's invading soldiers.

However, as Zhu Wei's army approached, Liu Xun saw the military demeanor shown by Zhu Wei's army, and his expression became a little dignified. Just looking at the marching momentum of Zhu Wei's army, Liu Xun could imagine Zhu Wei's army I'm afraid the fighting power is not weak.

Although Liu Xun is very confident in his military strength, after all, war is not only a question of the number of soldiers, but also a question of the combat effectiveness of soldiers.

Now seeing Zhu Wei's army coming from afar, moving forward steadily without a trace of scattered army, Liu Xun had to admit that Zhu Wei's army was indeed an elite who had gone through successive battles and defeated Jiangdong and Jingzhou.

And from the banner played by Zhu Wei's army, Liu Xun also knew that it was Zhu Wei's main force, the First Army Xiongba Camp and Zhu Wei's Central Army Camp, who came to attack Wan County this time.

The reputation of the Xiongba camp, like Pang Yan's name of the black god general, has spread to the ears of many heroes and warlords in the world. Everyone knows that the Xiongba camp is almost the vanguard of Zhu Wei's conquest of various places.

Therefore, watching Zhu Wei's army put up an offensive posture before Wan County, Liu Xun inevitably narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling a little pressure.

This Liu Xun could be trusted and valued by Yuan Shu, and he was appointed as the prefect of Lujiang. Naturally, he was not from an ordinary background. Although he was not a member of the Han family, he was originally a child of the Langya family. He was once the county magistrate of Jianping County in Peiguo .

So Liu Xun is also a general who has read a lot of military books with the help of his family background and knows how to use soldiers to fight.

After Yuan Shu raised his troops back then, Liu Xun also raised his troops to respond. Since then, he has been one of Yuan Shu's generals. He can be regarded as a veteran of many battles. Although his ability attribute may not be very high, he is still in command of tens of thousands of troops. A veteran who has been on the battlefield, his vision is also trained through war.

Liu Xun naturally knows how well trained his army is and what combat effectiveness it possesses.

Although he served as the prefect of Lujiang for these years, he still paid attention to military affairs, but only he knew the combat effectiveness of his army best. He felt that the combat effectiveness of his army was still not as good as that of Zhu Wei's army.

Therefore, he couldn't help thinking about this battle, but he lost a little bit of the idea of ​​fighting recklessly with Zhu Wei's army.

At the same time, there were several civil and military officials standing beside Liu Xun. The one closest to Liu Xun was a young scholar who seemed to be only in his weak years. At this time, he looked at the posture of Zhu Wei's army from a distance, and his heart But he nodded secretly, this is the style of an elite army of hundreds of battles.

This person is of course Liu Ye. Although he is young, he is also a military adviser and general-level talent with certain military command capabilities.

Therefore, now Liu Ye can also see many details that reflect military training and military combat power from the marching formation of Zhu Wei's army. He is really secretly happy that Zhu Wei's army has such high quality.

Liu Ye is not very old now, but his reputation in Lujiang County is indeed not low, but he originally joined Liu Xun to dawdle and protect his family, so he usually did not have any outstanding behavior with Liu Xun.

Therefore, at first Liu Xun might have heard that Liu Ye had the talent of Wang Zuozhi, and he paid more attention to it when Liu Ye came to vote, but with Liu Ye's inattentive performance, Liu Xun also felt that this young man had no real skills. Gradually, I seldom ask for advice.

However, due to Liu Ye's reputation, Liu Xun still let Liu Ye continue to be a staff advisor by his side, but he didn't attach much importance to Liu Ye in his heart.

It's just that in the past few months, Liu Ye's performance seems to have improved. He offered advice to Liu Xun several times, and then he was willing to take on some affairs, and these things were done well. Ye changed his mind slightly, which made Liu Ye stand nearer to him again, and he could ask Liu Ye for advice at any time.

In addition, Liu Ye brought nearly [-] bandit soldiers from Chaohu Lake to vote. Liu Xun didn't like these bandit soldiers at first, so after they were taken in, they were first eliminated and reorganized, and a third of them were eliminated, and then they were raised as second-line troops. .

However, Liu Xun's actions also made the Chaohu thieves who came to surrender a lot of dissatisfaction. Many thieves often caused trouble in the local area, which made Liu Xun feel a little angry, and occasionally wanted to wipe them out. .

But Liu Ye seemed to know Liu Xun's dissatisfaction with these bandits, so under Liu Ye's persuasion, many Chaohu bandit leaders who seemed to be dissatisfied with Liu Xun's arrangement, complained less and became much more obedient.

At the same time, these bandit leaders also began to restrain the bandit soldiers to settle down in the local area. All this made Liu Xun feel a little satisfied. After all, these bandit soldiers can be regarded as a fighting force, even if they are used as cannon fodder. .

Perhaps seeing Liu Ye's influence on these Chaohu thieves, Liu Xun simply let Liu Ye take charge of these Chaohu thieves.

However, under Liu Ye's arrangement, most of these Chaohu bandits were sent by Liu Xun to find places to garrison outside Wan County, so the actual number of troops Liu Ye could control in Wan County was only more than 2000.

Liu Xun never thought about Liu Ye's possible betrayal. After all, Liu Ye was a native of Lujiang, and his family members were all in Lujiang County. If Liu Ye did something, once Liu Xun noticed it, it would attract The disaster of the whole family.

It's just that Liu Xun didn't expect that if Liu Ye could help Zhu Wei capture Lujiang, then naturally he wouldn't worry about any danger to his family in Lujiang County.

Of course, Liu Ye deliberately asked Liu Xun to assign those Chaohu thieves to garrison outside Wan County. When attacking Lujiang, reduce military resistance in some places.

Just like Xu Gan and Zhang Duo, when Zhu Wei's army came, these Chaohu thieves stationed in various counties or checkpoints could just offer the city and pass.

Well, let’s not talk about these trivial matters, just say that Liu Xun watched Zhu Wei’s army forming a formation outside Wanxian City, and suddenly seemed to think of something, and turned to Liu Ye and asked, “Zi Yang, this Zhu Wei’s army came too fast Come on, why is there no news from Huling County, then Xu Gan and Zhang Duo are guarding Huling County, how do they do things!"

"What Mr. Liu said is wrong. In addition to Xu Qian and Zhang Duo, there are also generals sent by Mr. Liu to supervise Huling County! Well, from Yiye's point of view, Zhu Wei's army must have not followed Chai Sang came here, maybe he used a trick to bypass Huling County, so that no warning signal came from Huling County!"

Of course Liu Ye knew what might have happened in Huling County, but Xu Qian and Zhang Duo were also recommended by him to be stationed in Huling County, so he had to help cover it up, and at the same time give an excuse to dispel Liu Xun's suspicion ...
