Chapter 414 Shu County Action
Outside Shu County, Dai Feng's millions of soldiers and horses fought with Yang Xu and others for several days, and each had a victory or defeat. Among the two sides, Dai Feng had many soldiers and horses, while Yang Xu had more talents, and it was difficult to decide the victory or defeat in a short period of time.
Neither of the two sides can be sure to defeat the other side. Such a stalemate here is so consumed by food and supplies.
Outside Shu County, in the central army camp of Yang Xu and others, because Dai Feng's troops besieged the city, Yang Xu and others still don't know what the situation is in the city. However, Dai Feng's troops have been fighting with Yang Xu's troops these days, and there are not many thieves attacking Shucheng, and Shucheng is still in the hands of the Han army.
As the governor of Lujiang County, Yang Xu knew better than anyone else about Shucheng. Now that Shucheng has been trapped for a long time, there are no people in the city who can set their own deeds. If this continues, Yang Xu is worried that something will happen in the city, giving Dai Feng an opportunity to take advantage of it.
Yang Xu was worried all day long, but now they could not defeat Dai Feng's troops outside the city and enter the city to stabilize the people's hearts. Perhaps Xi Zhicai in the camp had an idea. However, when he attacked Huang Rang before, Yang Xu did not listen to Xi Zhicai's words, causing a large number of casualties. After destroying Huang Rang, most of the players' troops also dispersed. In addition, before Yang Xu arrived, the troops of the other two counties fought against Dai Feng and Dai Feng repeatedly, resulting in a large number of players and horses around him waiting and watching. He did not easily interfere with Dai Feng's troops, which made Yang Xu and the three counties far less than the number of soldiers and horses in the three counties to deal with Dai Feng's troops, otherwise Yang Xu and others would not be so worried.
But now she wanted Yang Xu to ask for the opera Zhicai, Yang Xu couldn't bear to ask for a young man who was thirty or forty years younger than him. Just when Yang Xu was at a loss, a soldier walked into the tent and hurried in and saluted Yang Xu and said, "Report! Today, a large army of millions of people evacuated from Shu County and headed towards a forest on the east side!"
"Huh?" Yang Xu was stunned for a while when he heard the soldiers' words, and then hurriedly asked: "Dae Feng is in the team."
"There is a flag in the bandit army, but I don't know if the other party is in it." After hearing the soldiers' reply, Yang Xu said to the soldiers: "Go down and explore again!"
"promise!"
After the soldiers left, Yang Xu thought about it repeatedly in the big tent and shouted outside the tent: "Come here, go and notify the generals of the three counties and come to the big tent to discuss matters."
As Yang Xu's general order was announced, soldiers outside the tent went to the soldiers and horses of various battalions to pass on orders.
But half an hour later, the generals of various units came with the sound of "swalking" of friction with armor. Many generals didn't know what had happened. Yang Xu rushed to call them to discuss the matter, and they all rushed towards the central army's tent with big strides.
When he walked to the big tent, he met the magistrate of Jiujiang County, Fu Qian and Zhang Xun, the magistrate of Danyang County. A military general under Fu Qian asked Fu Qian: "Master Fu, now this Yang Xu is eager to call us to come, but what kind of war is there?"
"If the prefect of the prefect wants us to fight again, please persuade the prefect to persuade the prefect of the prefect. Our soldiers and horses are not as good as the thief army. If we have to wait to continue fighting, it will be useless even if we fight all the soldiers and horses in our hands."
"Brother Ci Ran is right. For the prefect, most of us are the prefect and the prefect Zhang soldiers. You can't wait to die and refuse to save us!"
...
The generals and Fu Qian, Zhang Xun walked towards the tent while saying good things to the two county magistrates of Fu Qian.
Regarding the generals, Fu Qian and the others also understood the difficulties of these generals. However, they were not good at fighting, so they could only say perfunctorily: "We can fight for all the generals, but the ability of Yang Taishou to command the troops is not something we can do. Since we both hand over the commander of Yang Taishou, we naturally believe in Yang Taishou's decision. Therefore, we still hope that the generals can fully cooperate with Yang Taishou's actions to wipe out Dai Feng as soon as possible."
After Fu Qian finished speaking, he and Zhang Xun walked towards the tent. Seeing that Fu Qian and the others were unwilling to stand up, the remaining generals sighed in annoyance and then entered the tent.
At this time, hundreds of commanding military generals and many scholars from the three counties gathered in the big tent.
Yang Xu glanced at the expressions of the people present, and understood what these people were thinking. Although Yang Xu, who was afraid of war, was not happy with these Han generals, he also understood that most of the Han troops are like this now, and he still had to rely on these generals to command the troops to fight against the thieves, so it is naturally difficult to force them.
"Everyone! I've come to you, and there is a good news to everyone. I just got the news, Dai Feng led a million troops to the east. Judging from the situation obtained by the surveillance, Dai Feng's troops were heading to Songzhuang. This is an excellent opportunity. The terrain of Songzhuang is very familiar. We can concentrate our troops to attack one million bandit troops in Songzhuang. If we can defeat the general Dai Feng, we can not only break the siege of Shucheng, but also take advantage of the chaos of the bandit troops after Dai Feng's death to wipe out millions of bandit troops outside Shu County in one fell swoop. And even if we can't kill Dai Feng this time, as long as we keep these million soldiers, Dai Feng's army will suffer a heavy blow, and it will be much more convenient to deal with the bandit troops." Yang Xu looked at the people who were thinking around and said, "This is a great achievement. If millions of bandit soldiers can be wiped out, the court will naturally have a lot of rewards."
After Yang Xu finished speaking, less than one-third of the generals stood up and asked for their orders, preparing to lead troops to follow Yang Xu to destroy the millions of troops. The others still watched the wall, and sat in the position without saying a word.
Although Yang Xu was mentally prepared, he felt extremely uncomfortable. Fortunately, the people who stood up had their soldiers and horses combined together, and the plan was smooth, they were almost enough to wipe out Dai Feng's millions of soldiers. Otherwise, if they couldn't even get together, Yang Xu's face would not only look bad, but also make a fuss and everyone's faces were lost.
After everyone discussed it, they quickly dispersed. Everyone understood the principle that soldiers were very fast. Yang Xu and others immediately gathered together the nearly one million soldiers and horses they had gathered and headed east.
Just as Yang Xu led the army to leave, Xu Shao was playing chess with Xi Zhicai in a military tent in the camp.
Because the two of them were a little unhappy with Yang Xu before, and neither of them had any official positions, they were the most leisurely people in the military camp and would occasionally lower the flag.
"Mr. Zi Jiang, we are already the unpopular person Yang Xu is no longer welcome. Why hasn't Mr. Zi Jiang left here yet?" Looking at the old man in front of him, Xi Zhicai asked.
"Hahaha... I am not as good as Zhicai. I am already old and have some knowledge and good at commenting on people, but I do not have much ability. If the chaos is revealed today, the Central Plains will be a place for all heroes to compete for. I would rather leave the Central Plains early. This is a place of failure to hide in Yangzhou and enjoy my old age. Unlike Zhicai, you have ambitions and want to assist Yimingzhu to achieve great achievements. The Central Plains is actually very suitable for Zhicai." Xu Shao smiled self-deprecatingly.
Xi Zhicai looked at Xu Shao's eyes and asked casually: "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I heard that Yang Xu took a large group of troops to chase Dai Feng today?"
"Oh, Zhicai, you are very informative. You actually learned the news so quickly." Xu Shaozheng put a white piece on the chessboard. Hearing Xi Zhicai's questions, he smiled silly.
"I'm afraid this sheep prefect will be in danger of going there this time!" Xi Zhicai suddenly said with emotion.
"Well, what does Zhicai mean?" Xu Shao asked as he raised his eyes and looked at Xi Zhicai.
"From the past few days, Dai Feng has deployed troops, Dai Feng is a capable man or Dai Feng has a capable man. In this way, how could Dai Feng leave with a soldier and horse for no reason when the two armies were in stalemate, revealing such a big brother's flaw for the Han army? There is only one explanation, Dai Feng set up a trap for us, the prefect of sheep." Xi Zhicai said calmly.
"Why is Xingzu so confused?" After hearing Xi Zhicai's words, Xu Shao couldn't sit still and hurriedly got up and was about to leave.
Just as Xu Shao was about to leave the military tent, Xi Zhicai's voice came from behind: "The generals in the army have a lot of complaints about Prefect Yang. If you don't ask the Han army to rescue Prefect Yang, it's better to ask Yiren to help you."
When Xu Shao heard Xi Zhicai's words, he understood in his heart that this was what Xi Zhicai said for Xu Shao's sake. Otherwise, with Xi Zhicai's temper, he would not say it out loud and let Yang Xu live or die.
Looking at Xu Shao leaving, Xi Zhicai sighed and muttered to himself: "Mr. Zijiang seems to want to spend his old age under the command of the Lujiang County Governor Yang Xu. Unfortunately, this world may not be as good as Mr. Zijiang wishes."
After saying that, Xi Zhicai continued to play the game that he had not finished.
