The Three Kingdoms: Summoned generals at the beginning, shocking Cao Cao

Chapter 322

Shi Xie said in the memorial that several wealthy families who had entangled interests with the Zhao family were recruiting warriors aggressively and building forts near their residences.Hoarding a large amount of food and grass, making armor privately.

Some have been wiped out, but some are strong. The local garrison is no match. It will take time to mobilize a large army to suppress them.

He couldn't confirm whether there was any news about Liu Bingchu's incident.

Especially the Dong family, a prominent family in Hedong County, has a lot of firearms.When he learned that Liu Bian was going to Hedong County, he hurriedly sent someone to inform Liu Bian to change his route.

"To make a big deal out of a molehill, I'm going to see how many people a Dong family can have, and let them mobilize new troops to suppress." Liu Bian casually threw the memorial on the table.

Song Ran put away the memorial and said calmly: "Your Majesty, do you want the two halberd-wielding men to lead the imperial guards to protect us?"

"No, just keep the status quo unchanged."

Song Ran backed away and didn't speak anymore, and after a while they packed up, Liu Bian and Ermei got into the carriage.

The carriage galloped all the way to Hongnong Ferry.

There was already a ferry waiting for the guards at Hongnong Ferry. This ferry was deep enough for a carriage to cross, but a few horses were afraid of the rushing water, which delayed them for some time.

It was already noon when they crossed Hongnong Ferry, and everyone was resting by the river.Song Ran asked the imperial guards to bring some food when he set off, and put it on and under the carriage to warm it with a charcoal fire.

Liu Bian ate the stewed rotten tendons, and his mouth was full of fragrance: "With Song Ran following, the quality of life has improved significantly."

Zhao Feiyan raised her greasy little hand and nodded, Bao Si gave her a handkerchief, and said to Liu Bian, "The front is Anyi, what will His Majesty plan to arrange?"

Liu Bian said: "I have already made arrangements, you just go into the city with me."

Du Yu had already led his people into Anyi and sent people to deliver the message. Dong had transferred all the people back to his hometown.

There are only a dozen people in the city buying grain and grass, Dong has already bought most of the grain and grass in the city, and the new army will not be able to arrive in Anyi until tomorrow.

Tonight, I'm afraid it will not be peaceful.

Now there are only 500 garrison troops and more than 200 government soldiers in the city. Prefect Wang Yongshou and guard Pu Jie have organized manpower to board the city to guard against Dong's sneak attack.

When Liu Bian entered Anyi City, he was thoroughly interrogated by the guards. After entering the city, he was led by soldiers to the designated post station and was told not to move around at will.

Wang Yongshou and Pu Jie arranged the city defense properly, which made Liu Bian have a good impression of them.

In the room of the post station, Du Yu and Liu Bian reported the situation they had detected.

"Your Majesty, there are not many defenders in the city, and there are not many firearms. It is difficult to take care of the four gates at the same time, and there are many clans in the city who are on the side of the Dong family. They are likely to respond to them. I'm afraid the defense force in the town will be in danger." Du Yu told Liu Bian the information he had learned and his thoughts.

Liu Bian rolled up the note in his hand and squeezed the note in his hand: "The three teams that were going to Anyi to deliver firearms were all attacked, and one team lost its firearms."

Du Yu was shocked when he heard Liu Bian's words, that is to say, the Dong family rebelled openly, and daring to attack the firearms transportation team was already tantamount to conspiracy.

Du Yu cupped his hands and said, "They should know that the new army is coming, and they want to struggle to the death."

Liu Bian praised: "Yes, the analysis makes sense."

Although Du Yu's ability is not as good as Jiang Wei and Deng Ai's, the difference is not very big. After a good experience, he will be a general in the future.

"If the Dong family steals the city tonight, you and Ding Feng will lead the guards to ambush outside the city, and once the time is right, make your own decision." Liu Bian raised his hand to stop Du Yu from speaking, and continued: "I will also go to the city to help in the battle. "

Du Yu kowtowed uncontrollably: "Your Majesty, how could you go to such a dangerous place with your golden body? Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

Liu Bian had the intention of inspecting Ding Feng and Du Yu, and he also thought of cultivating them by bringing them with him. People whom he cultivated by himself would always be more reliable.

The training of the new army will be completed in the coming year, and positions have been reserved for the two of them in the first batch of teams heading to the battlefield.

"I've made up my mind, so there's no need to say more." Liu Bian flicked his sleeves and then ignored Du Yu.

Song Ran made a silent gesture and pointed at the door to make Du Yu retreat.

Song Ran cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I will not follow you to the city. I will protect the two empresses."

Liu Bian knew that Song Ran was quite courageous and quick-witted, and he didn't have to worry about the safety of Bao Si and Zhao Feiyan with him, so he nodded and said nothing.

Bao Si got a long sword for Liu Bian, and she and Zhao Feiyan helped him put on his inner armor.This is the Linjia made by Pu Yuan for him. It is made of new steel. It has a very good defensive effect. As long as it is not shot at close range by a musket, it is difficult to be harmed.

Zhao Feiyan tidied Liu Bian's armor and asked, "Your Majesty, how are you sure that the Dong family will come to attack the city?"

Liu Bian put on the armguard for himself, clenching his fists to test the tightness: "Although there are a lot of Wubao horns in Dong's ancestral land, how can it compare with the high walls of Anyi City.

If the new army is allowed to enter the city, only a few people can easily defend Anyi City with the power of firearms.

If you advance, you can attack Dong's ancestral land; if you retreat, you can defend Anyi and wait for reinforcements.If you were Mrs. Dong, how should you deal with it? "

"Either capture it and occupy it yourself, or destroy the city." Zhao Feiyan replied.

Bao Si went on to say: "It will take time to destroy Anyi, and they will definitely not be able to complete it before the arrival of the new army. Therefore, occupying the city and making it safe for the new army to defend is the best choice."

Liu Bian nodded, put his coat back on, and walked out with the long sword in hand.

Liu Bian's voice drifting away came: "Song Ran and a group of imperial guards will protect you. I haven't fought a battle against the weak side yet."

Liu Bian and the sergeant at the post station identified themselves as supervisors, and led Zhou Bo and two guards to the street.

There were no pedestrians on the street, and the vendors did not come out. There was not a single pedestrian on the bustling street in the past. The main street was cleared out, and five horses could easily run side by side.

On the way, he was interrogated by two waves of patrolling sergeants. After verifying the identity of the inspector Liu Bian, he was also asked not to go to the city or approach the city gate.

Liu Bian looked at the garrison with strict military discipline and felt that it would be difficult for Dong to succeed.

Wander around the city at will, on the one hand to see the layout of Pu Jie and Wang Yongshou, and on the other hand to see where there are loopholes.

Liu Bian was still very confident about defending the city tonight. The combat effectiveness of the 200 imperial cavalry outside the city was not comparable to that of the ragtag group of soldiers gathered by Dong.

There is a huge gap between systematically trained sergeants and civilian teams. It is not just the difference in weapons and equipment, but also the combat capabilities of soldiers and the command capabilities of officers. These are the foundations that truly dominate the outcome.

After all, no matter how good a gun is, it needs to be aimed accurately in order to kill.

Now he hopes that the Dong family can come out with all their strength and wipe out the Dong family in a battle tonight.
