Han counter current

On the second day, everything in Liyang City returned to normal. After this great victory, Liyang immediately had tens of thousands more troops, so Liyang's city defense and public security became even more important.

After Lu Kuang and the three selected their own subordinates from the army, they all devoted themselves to training. In any case, the tens of thousands of people who have just increased will need a long period of training.

Chen Feng paid attention to the situation in Jizhou, but at the same time he did not forget to communicate with Gao Lan in Bingzhou. When he learned that Gao Lan had started to form more cavalry there, Chen Feng knew that Bingzhou would fall into the trap sooner or later. own hands.

In the big tent, Chen Feng was looking at the letter that Gao Lan had just sent over, when Zhang Jaw came in and said, "Master, are you looking for me?"

"Well, take a look at this." Chen Feng handed the letter to Zhang Jaw and said, "The news about Lu Bu and ghost soldiers hiding in our army has spread.

There are rumors in many places that we have ghost soldiers to help us. I think Cao Cao should have believed it, and within three days, he should send an envoy to join us.

In order to perform the trick well, these few days, I will continue to send those two hundred personal soldiers to act as ghost soldiers. This trick is most suitable for confusing the enemy.

Oh, by the way, the few alchemists who were recruited last time must find a way to stay and let them come up with a systematic way to refine nitrate.

Last time, the things and vegetable oil were not enough, and the trick of breathing fire and thunder was just a couple of times. If Cao Ren's subordinates were not frightened, we might not be able to restrain them at that time.

You pick another [-] elite cavalry and send them to Gao Lanna. Gao Lan is planning to form a cavalry on a large scale, but he lacks middle-level officers. We just send them there. If we grab territory in Bingzhou in the future, the cavalry will be ours. main force.You can figure out these things yourself. "

Zhang Jaw wrote down everything and replied: "My lord, our army is a little too strong now, I'm afraid Li Yang won't be able to settle down anymore.

Moreover, it is not a good thing for so many people to stay in Liyang all the time. Should we find a way to transport a group of people to Bingzhou? Anyway, we should attack Bingzhou. "

"Well, by the way, Junyi, do you think Lu Kuang and the others really surrender to me?"

"This, my lord, if I were them, I,,,,,,"

"Hehe, I see. It seems that you shouldn't be too naive. Forget it, it's not bad if they don't embarrass us for the time being."

Chen Feng frowned, and then continued: "I've already thought through what you just said, we can't act rashly.

If there is no legitimate excuse, we cannot dispatch troops on such a large scale, otherwise, if there is any mistake, it will bring us unnecessary trouble. "

"However, if we don't send troops to merge the state now, it will be difficult for us to respond in time."

Zhang Jaw asked anxiously: "Besides, Gao Lan can't manage so many things there alone. He is stationed in the grassland now, but he is not actually in Bingzhou."

"Don't worry." Chen Feng replied: "I have thought about this question many times. Sending troops is nothing more than an excuse.

This excuse, I think, we will have soon.Gao Lan's affairs can't stop. I should send someone to meet him.

You said, if there is any crisis in Bingzhou, can we send troops?Hehe, there is no shortage of excuses to start a war. Even if they are lacking, there is no need for excuses after the war. This is a troubled world, so there is so much hypocrisy. Do we have to get the consent of others to do what we want to do? "

"My lord, what do you mean?" Zhang Jaw questioned.

"The senior cadre now has an army of more than 2. If he gathers the defeated soldiers scattered in the countryside and forests, his strength will continue to increase.

If my expectations are correct, the high-ranking officials will even drive the nearby people to join the army. After all, he has just suffered a defeat, and he doesn't want to be abandoned by Jizhou.

As long as you have enough troops in your hands, Jizhou can't ignore them, even if many of the troops in the hands of high officials are civilians.

However, his food, grass and armaments are not enough at all, and the senior cadres are quite familiar with Bingzhou. As long as we give a little guidance, they will definitely shift their targets to Bingzhou.

But Bingzhou is Yuan Shang's territory. Do you think Yuan Shang will agree? "

"But what if the high-ranking officials don't go?" Zhang Jaw asked again.

"Don't worry, I've already started preparations, he will go." Chen Feng smiled sinisterly: "If he doesn't go, I will drive him out, what do you think?"

Zhang Jai was at a loss when he heard this, and then asked again: "The lord is saying,,,,,,"

"Hehe, Junyi, if the high-ranking officials want to rebel and take advantage of the opportunity to occupy Yuan Shang's territory, I can just send troops..." Chen Feng laughed again.

Chapter 59

Forty miles away from Liyang City, outside a simple camp, groups of soldiers were carrying chickens and ducks, driving cattle and sheep, and carrying food into the camp.

This group of soldiers looked disheveled, obviously they hadn't had enough food for many days, and there were still blood dripping on their armor and weapons, which showed that they had just killed someone.

In a large tent in the camp, Gao Gan was looking at the map with a sad face. In the last battle, he not only lost most of his troops, but also lost all his food, grass and military equipment. Now he only has 3 people left. It is understood that some wounded soldiers are also included.

"General, the hunting team has returned." A deputy general outside the camp reported.

"Well, come in," Gao Gan responded, "How's the harvest today?"

The deputy general came in and saluted and said: "Today, 3000 people went out to hunt, and they hunted a total of [-] cattle and sheep, countless chickens and ducks, and a thousand stones of grain and grass. In addition to the income from the previous few days, it is enough for our army for half a month.

According to the current situation, there will be no shortage of food and grass for our army for the time being, and the team sent by the general to collect food and grass from the local aristocratic families will also send back news, and it is estimated that there will be no shortage.

In addition, our army has also sent messengers to Jizhou to urge the supply of food and grass, and there will be news soon. "

Gao Gan nodded, but there was a sneer on his face.This so-called hunting, to be precise, is also called hunting grass valleys, but it is actually letting soldiers go to rob.

Ordinary high-ranking cadres from aristocratic families dare not and cannot move. His target is the common people. In order to raise food and grass, the high-ranking cadres have already harmed many villages.

"How many women were caught?" Gao Gan continued to ask.

"Only 120 people were caught today. Those villagers resisted strongly. The sergeants had to kill some of them. Our army also injured more than a dozen people." The lieutenant general continued to reply.

Gao Gan looked indifferent, and then replied: "If you kill, kill as much as possible to avoid casualties of soldiers, take a rest these days, there are not many people left in our army.

Those women rewarded the brothers. There were a lot of battles coming in, and the morale of the army was not strong. We will protect the safety of the local area, and the local people will definitely not want to see our army go down like this.

These women came to our army voluntarily, how can we live up to their kindness.

In addition, our army lacks people who can deliver food and grass. You can send people to recruit the nearby people to join the army. I will not treat them badly. No matter what, I will not let the Cao thief harm them. "

The deputy general led the order, and Gao Gan continued to look at the map and muttered to himself: "You have snatched all my military rations, do you think I can't raise food and grass? Hahaha, you underestimate me, Gao Gan, don't you?" .

As long as there are people around here, as long as I can still find people, then I will not be short of food, let alone soldiers, hmph. "

,,,,,,

In Liyang City, Chen Feng came to his tent after inspecting the wounded soldiers, because Cao Cao had already sent someone to join them.

Chen Feng walked into the big tent and saw a frail scholar and a strong general standing there. Chen Feng took a closer look and found that this person was Guo Jia.

The person next to Guo Jia had a handsome face, a long beard, and the appearance of a Confucian general. Chen Feng remembered seeing this person on the battlefield.

"The people here are all important people. It seems that Cao Cao is very interested in this negotiation. Hehe, interesting, interesting,,,,,,,,"

"Rare guest, rare guest, Mr. Feng Xiao personally visited, and I, Chen Feng, am honored to come." Chen Feng said as he walked towards Guo Jia.

The general next to Guo Jia walked in front of Guo Jia, as if he wanted to block Guo Jia behind him.

When Chen Feng saw this, he couldn't move forward. Instead, he walked to his seat and asked, "What's the general's name?"

The man replied lukewarmly: "Li Dian and Li Mancheng."
