The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

Xun Zhen wanted to personally send troops into Lu, but Xun Yu resolutely opposed it.

He said: "The Duke of Ming is approaching Xuzhou, and the people are not fully attached. There are many strong men in Xiapi and Donghai who have established themselves on the wall of the dock, and there are Pengcheng in the west and Mount Tai in the east. The total number of soldiers from the two places is more than 10,000, and the government of salt and salt will be in trouble. If there is a change, Pengcheng will be sent to the west, Mount Tai will be heard in the east, Xiapi and Donghai should be in the interior, and Yanhao will rise from the border. , the state will be in chaos! In this autumn, the state must not be ignorant of public authority. Although there are more than 100,000 Yellow Turbans in the state of Lu, there are only 10,000 elites who can be battled. Sending a different general will be enough to defeat it. Why should Duke Ming go there in person?"

Xun Zhen said, "Don't I know the situation in the state? Therefore, those who want to bring troops into Lu are not afraid of the Yellow Turbans in the state of Lu, but to take Yanjun."

"Tanxian is only three hundred miles away from Lu. Duke Ming can be remotely controlled in the state, and there is no need to visit in person."

"Shanyang, where Changyi is located, borders Rencheng and Dongping. Once our troops enter Rencheng and Dongping, it is difficult to predict how Liu Yanzhou will react. Liu Yanzhou is highly respected, and Yanshi is obedient. If so, As a result, it is not my wish to meet him with my sword and soldiers. Therefore, the matter of taking Yanjun needs to be handled immediately. Although Tanxian is close to Lu State, it takes three days to travel back and forth by fast horse. I'm afraid it's not enough."

Changyi is the prefecture of Yanzhou, where Shanyang County is located in the west of Rencheng and Dongping, bordering both of these two counties, and because the prefectures in Yanzhou are not large, so from Changyi to Rencheng, the capital of Rencheng County is located in Rencheng County. The distance is similar to the distance from Changju and Hexiang in the west of the East China Sea to Rencheng County, which is only more than a hundred miles.

At such a close distance, if Xun Zhen's troops enter Rencheng or Dongping, what will happen to Liu Dai's reaction is indeed predictable, and the mechanism needs to be changed.

Xun Yu insisted on his own opinion and said: "Even so, it is not necessary for Duke Ming to go in person. Zhicai, Gongda, all wise men, General Xu and General Zhao, all dare to judge talents, choose one or two, and let them lead the battle. , Liu Yanzhou's intentions are unpredictable, but they are also adaptable."

Xun Zhen pondered for a while, then asked Xun You and Xi Zhicai, "What do you think?"

Xi Zhicai replied: "Wen Ruo's words are very true. Duke Ming of a state should not be taken lightly. When it comes to planning for Yan, Zhong please take over the position." After a pause, he continued, "Duke Ming If you are still worried, when the Yellow Turbans of Lu State are taken away and they are about to enter Yan, Duke Ming can go to the front line no later than."

"Gongda, what do you think?"

Xun You replied: "If the play is gone, Duke Ming can be worry-free."

In the early stage, if only the Yellow Turbans from the state of Lu were driven away, Xun Zhen did not need to be there in person. When it was time to enter Yan, it would depend on the situation. If you need to go to the front line to command in person, it would not be too late to go, Xun Zhen thought about it. After thinking about it, he said, "Well then, this time we attack Lu Mouyan, I will ask Zhicai to lead the army and go to Lu first."

Xi Zhicai said, "I will live up to what Duke Ming gave."

Xun You asked, "Dare to ask who Duke Ming wants to choose as his general this time?"

"How is it, Junqing?"

Just now Xun Yu listed the names of the generals who could lead the army, but did not mention Xun Cheng and Xu Rong, because the latter two were located in Langya and Guangling, and were a little far from the state of Lu, so it was inconvenient to mobilize them, and Xun Cheng still had the ability to deter the soldiers of Mount Tai. He and Yanhao's important tasks were not to leave the country, so he only mentioned Xu Zhong and Zhao Yun, one of them was in Xiapi and the other was in the East China Sea, which was close to the capital of Lu.

Xun Zhen agreed with Xun Yu's judgment and choice. Among Xu and Zhao, he chose Xu Zhong.

Xun You said: "General Xu supervises the soldiers of Xiapi and Pengcheng, General Zhao only supervises the soldiers of one county in the East China Sea, Duke Ming sits on the East China Sea, but does not call General Zhao, but General Xu is appointed because he also wants to move the soldiers of Pengcheng and Zang. Are you tying into Lu?"

"Precisely, Zilong's seniority in the area is slightly less, and his rank is only a middle-ranking general. If he is appointed to lead the army, Zang Xuangao and Pengcheng's soldiers may not accept it."

Xi Zhicai said: "Wen Qian has both civil and military resources, and Duke Ming has granted him permission to support 1,500 soldiers in the county. With him guarding Xiapi, even if Junqing leads his troops to leave a little, Xiapi and Pengcheng will be safe within a short day. He asked Xun Zhen, "Ming Gong just said that this time only 5,000 elite soldiers will be used. I don't know how much you plan to transfer from Pengcheng and Zang Ba?"

"I intend to take Xuan Gao as the deputy of Junqing, and ask him to send a thousand troops, and Pengcheng will also send a thousand troops."

We couldn't order Zang Ba and Pengcheng Xue Li to send all the troops. First, they would be reluctant, and second, they couldn't rest assured, so they ordered each of them to send thousands of troops, and then appointed Zang Ba as deputy. Bing, and promoted his master, at least it should be able to prevent Zang Ba from being too dissatisfied. As for Xue Li, he is the prime minister of Pengcheng, and Pengcheng is his territory, so he is appointed as deputy, because he is afraid of Xunzhen. Because he might "tune the tiger away from the mountain" and take advantage of the situation to seize his Pengcheng, he would definitely not want to leave the county, so he simply didn't mention it.

Xi Zhicai nodded and said, "With my three thousand elites as the main force, with Pengcheng and Zang Ba as supplements, and Junqing to lead them, they are enough to fight against the strong enemy in the wild, and attack the Yellow Turban. Certainly out of the question.”

"The elites in the Yellow Turbans are mostly veterans since the first year of Zhongping. They have fought in several states and are familiar with the army. Although they have captured pirates, they should not be underestimated."

Xi Zhicai promises.

Xun You asked, "I don't know if Duke Ming intends to send some of the three thousand soldiers who entered Lu from the East China Sea, or all of them will be selected by Jun Qing from the headquarters?"

"It's enough to adjust Xiaoqi and the two captains of the former army to fight."

Cavalry captain Zhang Fei and former military academy captain Jiang Hu, each with 800 cavalry and 2,100 infantry, were stationed in Liangcheng and Xuxian in Xiapi. Now they are all under the command of Xu Zhong, and their two troops are nearly 3,000. There is indeed no need to transfer troops from the East China Sea.

In addition to Zhang Fei and Jianghu's department belonging to Xu Zhong's lineage, there are also the Que Xuan department in Tundongcheng, Sima Taosheng's department in Gaoshan County, He Yi's department in Huailing, and He Yi's department in Wuyuan, Pengcheng. Pengcheng Commander Gan Ning Department.

Que Xuan and the others have a total of more than 3,400 troupes, plus the 1,500 army soldiers from Le Jin—these 1,500 army soldiers will also be controlled by Xu Zhong during the war. The number of soldiers in Pengcheng has reached 5,000, and the total number of soldiers in Pengcheng is less than 4,000 on foot and cavalry, and 1,000 are dispatched to fight, and there are less than 3,000 left. .wuxiamtl.com~ Even the Que Propaganda Department's troupe is not very good, self-defense is acceptable, but field battle is not enough, and Xue Li is added with the powerful dock walls of various counties in Xiapi. Therefore, Xi Zhicai said that if Lejin is guarding Xiapi, there will be no problems in Pengcheng and Xiapi in a short time.

Xi Zhicai said: "Since Junchang has returned, the message of Yuzhou's request for the Duke of Ming to help attack the Yellow Turbans of Lu State should be delivered to the mansion within three or two days. Liangcheng borders the East China Sea, and the cavalry is also fast, so there is no need to mobilize in advance. To the East China Sea, if you travel 60 miles a day, it will take four days on the road alone, plus the time for the whole army to set up camp, it will take at least five to six days, I don’t know when Duke Ming plans to dispatch Jianghu to set off?”

"When the summer clothes are released, transfer him to the north." Xun Zhen said, "There is no need to hurry to transfer troops. You have to wait for the recruitment of the servants before the troops and horses can enter Lu. There is an important task that must be done now."

"But is it sent to Lu?"

, is a spy.

Although Xun Zhen has always been concerned about the situation of the Yellow Turbans in the State of Lu, and has a better understanding of it, he has a general understanding of the commanders and generals in it, but now he has to use the troops in detail. Understanding is not enough, we need to send some more detailed works to sneak in, and have a further understanding of the truth and truth of the Yellow Turbans in Lu. One is to collect military intelligence for the next step to seek Yanjun, and the other is to hope to know some of Liu Dai's words, deeds and movements in time, so that it can be used as a political reference when taking Yanjun.

Xun Zhen said, "That's right, not only do we have to send Jian to Lu, but also to Yan, Rencheng and Changyi have to send people." He said to Xi Zhicai, "Since Qing has volunteered to invite Ying and is willing to enter Lu first, then The matter of dispatching will be handed over to the minister."

Xi Zhicai promises.
