Mixed in the Three Kingdoms as a magic stick

Chapter 163 Speed ​​Competition

It is night, the moon and stars are thin, and the sky is full of thin frost.

Three miles outside Gushi City, suddenly there was a row of dozens of horsemen, walking out of the dark forest where you can't see your fingers. The horseshoes wrapped in cloth stepped on the wet leaves without making a sound.

Yan Qing rode Xue Yucong, walked side by side with Lu Bu, looked at the lights of the city, said calmly: "They just sent a third group of troops to help this morning, the number of defenders in the city is no more than three thousand."

"Three thousand?" Lu Bu said disapprovingly, "Does this include all adult men in the city?"

He has drawn troops three times, where did Yuan Shao get so many people?

Guo Jia came out wrapped three layers in and out, trembling among the piles of white fur in the fox fur, and said, "Not that many."

"It's my habit to go far." Yan Qing helped Guo Jia tighten the loose neckline, and joked: "At least the old and the weak, women and children are not counted."

Lu Bu sneered: "Yuan Shao, my son, is really determined to take over Yuzhou, my lord."

Otherwise, when the situation in the south is unknown, how can he be so willing to spend the capital?

Just as Guo Jia was about to express his opinion, he sneezed loudly.

Yan Qing smiled, and took off the fox fur that she used as a scarf, before dissipating the residual body temperature, wrapped it around Guo Jia's protests, and teased: "I'm a northerner anyway, why are you afraid of the cold?" so?"

He thought he was already afraid of the cold, but seeing Guo Jia like this, he seemed to be several times stronger.

Guo Jia argued, "The forest is too wet and cold, it's extraordinary."

Lu Bu, who was only wearing unlined clothing and a battle robe, couldn't help but cast a glance at Guo Jia with implicit complacency, snorted softly, and fell silent.

Yan Qing didn't want the two of them to fight again, coughed lightly, and said: "There are many people who want it, but based on Yuan Shao's words, I'm afraid they don't have the ability."

After Yuan Shao received the information from Gongsun Zan, he knew that the opportunity must not be lost, and the truth that if it is lost, it will never come again. Together with his staff, under Xin Ping's strong proposition and Xu You's hesitation, he resolutely decided to send troops.

He personally led 3 people—this is all the troops stationed on the outskirts of Shouchun City, plus Liu Chong's forces, to try to attack the top city first, not wanting to defend the emptiness more than he imagined, seems to know There was no hope, and the county magistrate's resistance was very perfunctory. After a day or two of watching from the top of the city, all the people surrendered.

The grain and grass in the official warehouse were all taken by Yuan Shao, who was about to run out of money, and used them for his own use.

Yuan Shao never expected that Yan Qing would be so arrogant and arrogant. In order to solve the situation of Jizhou being attacked by enemies, even Yuzhou, the most important base camp, dared to deploy troops here!

He laughed loudly and said to Xin Ping: "Little Yanqing, you actually look down on me, Yuan Benchu, so much, you must make him suffer a lot!"

He had just led the troops into the territory of Yuzhou, and he was cautious at first, but unexpectedly, not only did he not fall into a bitter battle, he also sang victorious songs all the way, so smoothly that he could not even imagine.

Big things are to be expected!

Seeing that the five counties and one county fell into his hands in less than half a month, Yuan Shao was no longer suspicious, and wrote letters to the prefects of each county, asking them to send troops to reinforce them, so that they could conquer Runan, Yingchuan, Xu County and other places.

Yuan Shaozai had great confidence in himself, and he couldn't help but be a little cautious when facing the several secret places guarded by Yan Qing's highly regarded and loyal confidant generals, such as Xun You, Sun Jian, and Lu Bu.

If the always conceited Villager Yan knew that he personally led troops to the rescue as always, but he would take away the empty rear battalion, and he would lose his temper when he was at a loss!

Thinking of Yan Qing's distorted face, Yuan Shao felt relieved.

Although Xu You and Xun Chen suspected that there was fraud, but Yan Qing really had a conspiracy waiting, so it is unlikely that he would really laugh at so many Yuzhou people?The food and grass that rushed into Yuan Shao's army was real.

From this point of view, the combination of Gongsun Zan and Zhang Yan really put the Yan Qing Army into a tough fight...

Seeing that the lord is high-spirited and triumphant, the two of them are uneasy, but at the moment when there are huge benefits in front of them, they can't persuade each other at all. They can only actively make suggestions to take Yuzhou down as soon as possible. Get rid of this inexplicable worry.

In the Yuan camp, no one guessed that Yan Qing, who in their eyes had become "strong outside but capable inside", was hiding in Yangzhou early with Lu Bu, the number one fierce general under his command.

Yuzhou is the base camp with the deepest influence of Yanqing. The difference from Yanzhou and Jizhou is that even if it is a mere county magistrate, it is carefully selected by Jia Xu, and the placement is precise and reliable.

Yanqing sent a secret letter to the county magistrates in charge of the neighboring Yangzhou early in the morning, telling them to "do what they can, and enough is enough," and transferred most of the food. Although the rest seemed to be a lot, it was Some parts have been tampered with.

He had calculated that Yuan Shao would not be able to let go of the golden food in front of him, and as he expected, it was indeed impossible to let go of the governor of Yangzhou who was getting shy in his pocket.

With a little light on the fire, Yan Qing finished reading the military newspaper that Meteor Kuaima had just delivered, and smiled softly: "Send the order."

Lu Bu's eyes were ruthless, and he was already eager to try. Hearing the words, he was full of energy: "Here!"

Yan Qing said calmly: "The time has come, let's raise troops."

The simple seven words seemed to turn into a sharp knife, tearing apart the peaceful night sky over Yangzhou in an instant.

The unlucky Gushi county magistrate never dreamed that Yan Qing, who everyone knew was supposed to be leading the army to Jizhou to conscript Gongsun Zan and others, had been hiding under their noses, ready to go... …

The army arrived in the middle of the night, with dense drumbeats and tens of thousands of horses galloping together. The momentum was so great that the sky shook like the earth.

Facing all these heavenly soldiers, the Gushi soldiers who were suddenly attacked lost their positions; the county magistrate was afraid and anxious, but did not prevent an effective counterattack; He was so arrogant that he didn't even bother to use the siege equipment. Facing the low city wall, he waved his hand and ordered people to put on shields, approached and shot a wave of long ropes with hooks towards the top of the city, and then the archers continued to shoot. Covering the vigorous pioneer, he climbed up to the top of the wall along the rope and completely tore open the gap.

Lv Bu took the lead and rushed to the wall first. After a burst of "ping-ping-pong-clang" weapons collided with the Renwang shield on his body, he slowly rushed around him, showing a terrified and bewildered enemy. After the army soldier showed a ferocious smile full of murderous intent, he swung away Fang Tian's painted halberd weighing tens of kilograms without blinking.

One halberd and three, chop the soldiers down.

The most elite soldiers trained by Lu Bu also quickly came up, surrounded the general, and raised their long swords one after another, and the corpses of the enemy soldiers at the top of the city rolled down like rain. , falling into the eyes of other Gushi soldiers who were already feeling guilty, was like a nightmare.

After Lv Bu killed most of the enemy soldiers who had the guts to resist, he got used to following Chen Wen's soft persimmon. After following Yuan Shao, apart from providing backup, he had no serious experience in fighting the enemy at all. The magistrate of Gushi finally woke up from the panic of the "short soldier major general", and thought that he should cut the rope and pour hot oil.

But it's been a few steps too late...

An hour later, the four troops of the Yan Qing army climbed up the walls from all sides, killed them all the way, rushed forward, opened the gates on all sides, and completely occupied the defenseless city.

After Lu Bu chopped off the head of Gushi County Magistrate who got into the carriage and tried to escape, he didn't stop for a moment, he couldn't even wipe the blood from his face, and excitedly went to Yan Qing to return to his life.

The flames were shining brightly, illuminating Lu Bu's handsome face with sharp edges and corners but dirty, there was a glimmer of light on his battle robe, and there was still a bit of intense murderous intent in his eyes that would not fade away in the future.

"Well done." Yan Qing stretched out his hand involuntarily, and with a smile on his lips, he helped him wipe away the blood that was sticky and hardening on his face: "Hurry up, next place. "

Lu Bu grinned contentedly, and said in a full of air, "Here!"

The Yan Qing army has never committed any crimes—as long as the local civilians do not participate in the war, and Yuan Shao's army has obviously not won the hearts of the people to the point where the people spontaneously defend him against foreign enemies.

So when it was daylight, the people of Gushi who were shivering under the blankets after hearing the noise from the sky, finally dared to slowly poke their heads out to check the situation, only Han Dang and his leader left by Yan Qing were left. Thousands of elite soldiers carefully cleaned up the corpses thrown all over the ground.

As for the rightful owner of the Great Killing Star, like a hurricane, he has already run a hundred li and rushed to the next city.

If you want to compete in speed, Yan Qing will definitely do it.

How many steps were stolen in advance, and how much water was given to Yuan Shao—of course, it was also to better deceive the overjoyed Yuan Shao into taking the bait, and the rest was a real contest based on ability.

However, Yuan Shao's winning streak was severely hit in Yingyang, which was guarded by Xun You. He stopped angrily and could only calm down. While waiting for the follow-up reinforcements, he besieged the city and attacked the wall. Yan Qing, who carried Lu Bu Guo Jia, was like a tiger with two wings on its back, and went straight to the two counties along the way in just five days. On the sixth day, it was targeted and killed in front of Yangzhou Zhouzhi and Shouchun City.

"Set up camp on the spot, light a fire and cook, and rest for a day." Yan Qing clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Guarantees, hurry up and recharge your spirits, and we will attack the city tomorrow morning."

The soldiers were quite flattered, and the roar should be.

Yan Qing looked at Lu Bu, whose eyes were bloodshot but still in good spirits, and waved: "Come, accompany me to walk around in front of them, and go to rest together."

Guo Jia yawned and said without thinking: "That Jia also—"

Yan Qing said: "Go back and rest, or you will collapse again."

Guo Jia instantly forgot about his strong support, and said dissatisfiedly: "Jia was not promised, why is she still so weak in the eyes of the lord?"

Yan Qing was taken aback by 'Xu Xiazhi Bu', and then looked at Lu Bu who was also dazed, and suddenly couldn't help laughing: "Well, then you have to make sure that you won't get sick after the war." No one knew better than him that Guo Jia worked so hard in his official affairs, even if he was sick from overwork, he could rely on that bit of spiritual will to support him until the end.

Guo Jia's eyes really wandered: "This..."

Yan Qing said in a calm manner: "If you can't do it, then you can use tiger whip wine—"

Before he finished speaking, Guo Jia saluted with the corners of his mouth twitching, and said decisively: "Jia is quite tired, so I won't go with my lord."

After he walked away resentfully, Lu Bu whispered, "My lord still has a way to take this kid."

Yan Qing said helplessly: "If he is five times as strong as you, I don't need to worry about it."

Lu Bu was delighted to hear this, and unconsciously puffed out his chest.

Yan Qing talked and laughed with him, and soon went to the shooting place in front of the city, raised his eyes, and met the people on the city wall.

A man wearing a general's robe on the city wall seemed to have just been found. Surrounded by the people below, he looked at them camped outside the city with disbelief.

Yan Qing was rarely malicious, deliberately smiled at him friendly, and waved at him.

The man climbed up, but he didn't jump out of anger like Yan Qing imagined, but he was supported down by others, as if he was sleepwalking.

Lu Bu suddenly understood, his face turned foul, Yan Qing: "Huh?"

The provocative method didn't work, so he didn't care too much. He galloped all the way for many days without rest, and everyone was at the end of his battle. Of course, he didn't intend to face the opponent so quickly.

However, the other party also couldn't figure out their depth and background, so naturally they would not rush to send troops, and missed this great opportunity.

Yuan Shao did not take his three sons with him when he set off this time. Instead, he ordered his eldest son, Yuan Tan, to serve as the prefect temporarily to guard Shouchun.

But in Shouchun City, Yuan Shao took away all the land that was needed, and there were only a thousand defenders left to support the facade. How could they hold the iron cavalry on the opposite side?

Yuan Tan blushed, pressed his chest that was jumping wildly for some reason, and quickly shook his head, shaking the face that was as beautiful as a fairy smiling at him just now in his mind, and went back to the room to find a pen and paper, and went to his father for help .

No matter how smooth the father's side is going... the sudden appearance of Mr. Yan here means something very ominous.

Just as it was written, the word "village man" behind the swallow was unknowingly turned into the word "Qing".

...Where in the world is there such a good-looking villager?

The rumors are indeed untrue and cannot be fully believed.
