Chapter 241 The autumn wind sweeps the leaves (1)
Zhang Xiu’s fame and ability are not only recognized by Dong Zhuojun, but everyone in the world recognizes it.
As one goes up and the other goes down, Zhang Yang and Wang Kuang are of course weakened. Although these two men have more than 100,000 troops, they dare not run away and can only trap Anyi City.
On the morning of that day, some surrendered soldiers came to surrender, and Zhang Xiu ordered his personal soldiers to prepare wine and food and treat these surrendered soldiers in person.
In the hall, Zhang Xiu sat in the upper seat, twenty or thirty surrendered soldiers sat in the lower seat, each with a table table in front of him, filled with wine and food, and each with a golden cake.
But the surrendered soldiers looked at Zhang Xiu but did not dare to take action.
Zhang Xiu laughed and said, "I don't eat people. You guys don't have to be nervous. Eat well and drink well, and in the end, don't forget to get the golden cake."
"Thank you, Grand Sima."
The surrendered soldiers then dissipated their nervous mood and quickly thanked them. Then they began to eat and drink. Although Zhang Yang and Wang Kuang's food was not bad, they were all big-headed soldiers, and wine and meat were still rare.
Seeing this, Zhang Xiu didn't care, so he asked the soldiers to leave food and drink aside, served wine and food twice or three times. After the soldiers had enough food and drink, they took away the golden cakes on the table table. Zhang Xiu asked with a smile: "You all came from various cities, what's the situation in the city now?"
A scar-faced soldier was very good at answering questions and immediately stood up and said, "Report to Grand Sima. I came from Anyi City. Now the people in the city are in panic. Although Zhang Yang, Wang Kuang had 80,000 soldiers to guard the city, but it was also in turmoil. Everyone planned to join Grand Sima, but few of them were as brave as me. They dared to come out privately."
After saying that, the scar face put his hands on his hips, revealing my awesome expression.
Zhang Xiu couldn't help but laugh, picked up a golden cake from the side and threw it to the scarred face.
"Thank you for the reward of Grand Sima." The scarred face was extremely surprised and immediately thanked him. Then, the soldiers stood up one after another as if they were crazy.
Zhang Xiu only paid a little gold, and time had a very thorough understanding of Wang Kuang and Zhang Yang's situation.
Not long after, Zhang Xiu asked his personal soldiers to take these surrendered soldiers down. He himself took Dian Wei to the study room of the county yamen.
Zhang Xiu took out a landscape map from the table and placed it on the table to watch.
Now, four cities including Anyi and Wenxi have combined into one area and planned to protect themselves. The city of Anyi has the largest number of people, with a total of 80,000 or 90,000 people. The city is also the tallest and has the most grain reserves.
The other three cities were guarded by 20,000 soldiers.
Zhang Xiu fell into deep thought. The preparation was ready. It was not difficult to capture these outer cities, but the difficult thing was to seize the city of Anyi.
"Zhang Yang, Wang Kuang is very afraid of me and set up a formation to guard this area. They must also know that defending will inevitably lead to a dead end. They must want to seek help from outside."
Zhang Xiu thought for a while, smiled and said, "That is, Zhang Yan from Heishan, Han Fu from Jizhou, and Yuan Shao from Bohai."
"Not worth worrying."
Speaking of this, Zhang Xiu looked up and stood with a sword outside the door and said, "Brother, immediately convey the military order and ordered Xu Huang to lead 20,000 troops to defend the city. The rest of the troops followed me to attack Wenxi City. Prepare food and grass today, and the army set out tomorrow."
"No." Dian Wei Yingnuo said and went down immediately.
After a day of movement, early the next morning, Zhang Xiu led 45,000 infantry and cavalrymen to Wenxi City in the south.
This time, Zhang Xiu did not hide it, and happily posed for his own banner and even took out his advocacy, making it lively along the way.
.........
The scar-faced soldier did not deceive Zhang Xiu. The city of Anyi was really in a turmoil.
But Zhang Yang, Wang Kuang and these Baibo thief coaches still have certain abilities and barely maintain the situation.
After all, they also have more than 100,000 people. These people gather together to keep warm to each other and can resist the freezing.
But as Zhang Xiu expected, even Wang Kuang, Zhang Yang felt that if the situation continued like this, it would inevitably become the dead soul under Zhang Xiu's gun.
In the lobby of the county magistrate's mansion in Anyi City.
Zhang Yang sat in the main seat, Wang Kuang sat on the side, and the other Baibo thieves Han Xian, Li Le, Hu Cai and others were also listed on both sides.
Everyone's faces were gloomy, as if they could pinch out water.
"When we raised our army, we were so energetic. We had more than 100,000 troops and horses to guard the Yellow River. We almost ate Niu Fu. Unexpectedly, the situation had been repeated in a short period of time. Zhang Xiu, Zhang Xiu, are not the ones we can rival."
Zhang Yang sighed and finally realized the reality. Zhang Xiu is not something we can beat.
"Oh." Wang Kuang sighed, and the other Bai Bo army commanders were all shrugging their heads, and they couldn't speak a tough word.
When they were in Bingzhou, they had a good momentum and could compete with Zhang Yan. Unexpectedly, they went south to Hedong and the two counties of Hanoi were like mobs, and they were terrible.
But Wang Kuang had an idea after all. He sighed: "The situation is like this, and it will be useless to lament. Now we are in danger and need to find a way."
The Baibo army thief commanders and Zhang Yang both had their eyes lit up. Zhang Yang couldn't wait to ask: "Mr. Festival, are there any clever plans?"
Now that things have come to light, Wang Kuang has confirmed his identity as the internal IQ ceiling of the group, and his words are worth it.
The Baibo thief coaches also raised their ears.
Wang Kuang smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "There is no trick, but there is one worst." As he said, Wang Kuang raised his head, looked at everyone seriously, and said, "Once Zhang Xiu occupied Hedong County and Henei County, he can advance or attack, and retreat or defend."
"Retreat to Hedong and Hanoi counties, and exclude the war from Luoyang."
"You can attack Bingzhou along the Yellow River north and enter Jizhou east. And these two places have people. Zhang Yan, Han Fu, and Yuan Shao. We will immediately send envoys to ask these people for help. Even if they do not send troops and just bluff the suspicion, they can stabilize our people's hearts."
"There are rescuers, but no rescuers. It's two different things."
Zhang Yang and others couldn't help but look a little disappointed. They now have more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, but they can't hide. But they ask for help from outside, which is really indecent.
But they had no choice. As Wang Kuang said.
There are two different things to have rescuers but no rescuers. Having rescuers can stabilize the morale of the army.
"Okay. I'll contact Yuan Shao. Gongjie, please contact Han Fu. As for Zhang Yan's side, can you leave it to all the great mentors?" Zhang Yang took a deep breath, focused his head, and then looked at everyone.
At this time, even the worst-tempered Baibo thief handsome guy had no temper and nodded in agreement.
