Chapter 234 The First Battle of Ju Yi
();
When Master Zhao saw that it was dark and hungry.
"Brother at the bottom of the building, it's time for dinner. Will I treat you to dinner?"
"That's good, what to eat."
Master Zhao is just polite. Who knows that he doesn’t know how to be polite and has no tricks, so please.
There was a separate yard in the government office, equipped with a chef. Zhao Zhubo was a big family in Xuzhou, and could be both literary and military, otherwise Lu Bu would not have chosen him as the boss.
Arrange to cook two dishes in the kitchen, one with a mutton with scallions and one with a spicy chicken.
Xuzhou people are famous for eating chicken. Since Lu Bu grew chili last year, he has invented a new way to eat it, called spicy chicken.
Generally, roosters that are over one and a half years old are used, and stew them over high heat and stir-fry them with chili.
It took time to make this dish. Zhao Zhubo and the bottom of the building were pickled vegetables. After drinking half a jar of leek flowers, Wen Hou was drunk before the two dishes came up.
After eating a bite of spicy chicken, the bottom of the building was stunned: "It's delicious, delicious. This is really good, it's too spicy."
The hip-hop guy with a spicy mouth is still there to eat it.
Zhu Boxin said, "The wilderness on the grassland has never eaten the delicious food from the Central Plains, and this is the way it is done in the army. If you go to a high-end restaurant in Xuzhou, it will be another way."
Even the mutton that is often eaten at the bottom of the building has a very different taste, and the onions have a very delicious taste.
Loudi was drunk: "We Wuhuan people pay attention to hard work, climbing ice and lying on snow. This delicious method must not be introduced. What tools do you use to make these leek flowers? Can you sell them to us? There are leek flowers everywhere on the grassland, and all over the mountains and fields."
"This is OK, I agree and go back and arrange it."
The two chatted a lot and tried each other, but they were both old foxes and no one was easily deceived.
I was drunk at the bottom of the building and rode back on a horse.
Zhao Zhubo came to Lu Bu to report: "The bottom of the building is very wary. I tried several times to ask him how many soldiers Tadun had, and he kept talking nonsense. Moreover, they didn't like luxury things and wanted to process the stone mortars of leek flowers."
"The Tadun tribe is in its early stages of development, and it will take several years to get up. Shimu arranged for stonemasons to build some small household stonemasons for them, and ordered them to go back and expand the winery for Zhu Bin, and increase the yield of sweet potatoes at a height. You must have strong wine, just one at a glance."
"yes."
Lu Bu got a thousand fat cattle on the grassland, and there was a lot of food in the warehouse, so he no longer had to worry about food and grass issues.
The next step is to train troops and farm farms. Lu Bu planned to train the newly conquered soldiers in one to two months and plant tens of thousands of acres of potatoes, so there would be no problem with eating and drinking.
Cao Xing, Zhou Cang, Pu Feng and Chen Lan led a cavalry team to patrol the surroundings continuously and wiped out several Wuhuan squads. The Wuhuan people did not have a unified country. Theoretically, they were collective names for some nomadic peoples under Youzhou, but because Youzhou was weak, they could not effectively control the northern grasslands for the time being.
Let’s talk about Jizhou, after Zhang Liao took over Jizhou, he began to strictly deploy defense.
The camp was moved to a high place in the east of the city, and the fence was reinforced with sandbags, and a solid camp was formed.
Zhang Liao was still very capable of training troops. He disrupted the order and reorganized the soldiers who captured Chunyu Qiong. The infantry left by Zhao Yun was appointed as officers.
There are a total of three thousand infantry and three thousand cavalry. There are 1,000 cavalry and 2,000 infantry in the city, 2,000 cavalry and 1,000 infantry outside the city.
The weather was calm a few days ago, and on the fifth day, Ju Yi's army arrived.
The probing horse ran back: "Report that the enemy is still thirty miles away."
"How many people?"
"The front army had about two thousand cavalry, and its main weapon was spear."
The cavalry led by Ju Yi was not equipped with bilateral stirrups and high bridge saddles, and rarely used cavalry and shooting tactics.
"Sign up two thousand troops and intercept ten miles ahead."
At the command of Zhang Liao, he lit up two thousand cavalrymen and left the camp, waiting for Ju Yi's front army on the road.
After waiting for only two quarters of an hour, the enemy troops arrived.
Zhang Liao took off to fight, and a general with a big axe came out of the cavalry opposite. He fought with Zhang Liao for only seven or eight times and was stabbed by Zhang Liao with one shot.
Then a Pegasus came out with a big sword. Zhang Liao fought for five or six rounds, turned around and ran, shouting as he ran: "Retreat, the enemy is too powerful."
When Ju Yi's vanguard army saw that Xuzhou army was just like this, and had long forgotten Chunyu Qiong's arrangement and led the team to chase him regardless of horsepower.
Zhang Liaojun deliberately lowered his horse's speed and the return arrow began.
With the support of the Takahashi saddle, the rider's return arrow is very easy to use, and the feather arrows are launched backwards like raindrops.
The hit rate is so high that at least 20% hit the enemy. The enemy soldiers are constantly falling off the horse, just like dumplings.
The two thousand cavalry chased two thousand cavalry, which seemed to be the same in number, but the Zhang Liao army gained the upper hand as soon as they got started.
A team is suffering from casualties, and once it reaches this critical point, its morale will collapse.
The chasing was fierce, but it only took two miles to chase it, but the deaths continued to rise, and soon more than four hundred people were over.
No one wants to chase after him. This is a living target. It’s useless to turn around and run away. No matter how the general scolds him, it’s useless.
Zhang Liao led the team to turn around. The short Hun horse had excellent endurance and ran several miles to just warm up.
This time I was so excited about the shooting. More enemy soldiers were caught, and some even fell down with people and horses.
The enemy came and walked quickly. Zhang Liao did not chase him too far. When the enemy walked away, he immediately ordered the battlefield to be cleaned up.
Most of the cavalry who were dismissed were not dead. Two hundred enemy soldiers were gathered and more than 300 horses were seized.
Zhang Liao pointed to the prisoner: "If you are willing to leave, you will bandage and treat the wounded, you will be from the Xuzhou army in the future. If you are unwilling to leave, you will get out of here."
Many people were moved and cried at that time. Are there still people who treat prisoners’ wounds these days?
It is actually very difficult to go back. Although you are letting go, the horses and weapons will be left behind. The most terrifying thing is that you may be chopped back when you go back.
Only dozens of people went back, and more than a hundred people were willing to surrender.
After a brief process of the battlefield, retreated immediately and returned to the military camp.
Why did the Xuzhou army do this? The generals and military advisors of Xuzhou have studied it very thoroughly. Ninety percent of the soldiers are poor people. Why join the army is not a national righteousness or a prosperous country. It is nothing more than a bite and a piece of clothing. The most attractive thing about the Xuzhou army is that after three years of service, they give a house, divide the land, and arrange to marry a wife. This is a huge benefit for ordinary people. If this benefit is too far away, three meals a day will be full, and a monthly subsidy of 100 million yuan is the immediate benefit.
The next day, Ju Yi's army arrived.
The carriages were like flowing water and horses were like dragons, and the army was vast, with 20,000 or 30,000 people. Zhang Liao, who had always been brave, couldn't help but worry. There were a total of 6,000 people, of which more than 2,000 were those that Yuan Shao's army had just surrendered.
