Chapter 318 Liangzhou, Yanzhou and Nanyang (5)
So now Ma Chao and the others did not know that the Yanzhou army had sent reinforcements, and Cao Cao took a photo of the board himself. And with Xu Huang and his marching speed, he should have just entered Nanyang at this time, so the first person to know was definitely not Ma Chao, but Li Tong, so he naturally had to know the specific news earlier than Ma Chao. However, at this time, Li Tong did not know the specific news. After all, after Xu Huang and Xun You and the others led their troops into Nanyang, the horse exploration in Nanyang could come and report to him.
It is true that Xu Huang and Xun You and the others did not send a horse to report the news. This is not wrong, it is really not. So at this time, the Yanzhou army was still on the road, but it hasn't arrived at Jiyang City. So even if it was this news, it was Li Tong, and it was definitely not Ma Chao. Of course, Jiyang is now closed.
So when they knew the news, even though the Liangzhou army did not know the specific things, they still knew that the news was sent to Jiyang. Although Jiyang is fighting now, they really wouldn't think about entering the city if they talked about the 30,000 troops Xu Huang brought. Of course, they didn't have that idea. Not to mention that the city could not hold it at all, even if they could hold it.
But how long does it take for those 30,000 troops to enter the city? So at that time, the Liangzhou army would have attacked long ago? So could it be possible to enter the city? But there is no problem with one or two, or even more people. So no matter how you say, it is impossible for Xu Huang to enter Jiyang City. At that time, the horses who came from the east of Nanyang had no problem at all when entering the city, and there was still information that had to be transmitted. But if you enter the city for those 30,000 people, you should be waiting for the Liangzhou army to come.
But there are only a few people, or even dozens, so it doesn't matter. Even if the war is tense at this time, it's not a big problem. At least for Li Tong, it's really nothing. And seeing the Yanzhou army provoking horses, it's not difficult to know one or two. Li Tong and Li Wenda have definitely been paying attention to intelligence and information all the time, especially Xu Du's coming.
Information, of course, he had to know about this big thing about reinforcements, and it was inevitable. However, although Xu Huang and the others did not send anyone here, the horse exploration in Nanyang was considered to be a speed. In fact, Xu Huang and the others knew that they didn’t need to send people or anything. There was a horse exploration in Nanyang to Jiyang. This is true. If there was no such thing, then
Xu Huang and Xun You have to send a stalker to Jiyang and talk to Li Tong. Because Xun You is a strategist, just a civil servant, and his official position can be slightly higher, but he is a civil servant and has no military power at all. To put it bluntly, he cannot transfer troops. However, Xu Huang's words are pure military positions, but they are definitely not higher than Li Tong, and they are even a little lower than Li Tong. After all, Xu Huang was just the chief general who guarded Hangu Pass before, and the Hangu Pass under his jurisdiction was Hangu Pass, even if he was
There is an official position, but now it is really not as big as Li Tong. They were actually similar before. But didn’t he make a mistake last year, so Cao Cao was demoted half the size. At this time, he really did not have the official position of Li Tong. After all, the latter is such a general who is in charge of the entire Yanzhou army in Nanyang, and he commands more than 100,000 troops. This is not a false sense. So from Xu
It is such an important matter of reinforcements. If there were no Nanyang to visit Jiyang, Xu Huang and Xun You would have to send people there. This is necessary and inevitable. However, because Nanyang to visit horses, they would not have to move, that's it. And it has to be said that even if Li Tong's official position is not as big as theirs, they would have to send people to notify him. This is normal, let alone Li Tong's official position is indeed a little older than Xu Huang now, Xun You
If that is, it is incomparable. Jiyang, when Ma Dai was defeated by Yanzhou soldiers on the city, Ma Chao asked the soldiers to withdraw the troops. Naturally, he still let the other party go to the city three times, and was defeated, and his side retreated. Li Tong naturally understood that for him, he could still deal with it at the beginning and deal with it. No one knew what would happen in the future. Although he did not think it would be beneficial to his side, he could not say that he would give up. Therefore, the Liangzhou army was going to fight.
When they attack, their side will fight against them to defend. Ma Dai followed Ma Chao back to his camp. In the tent, Ma Chao simply praised Ma Dai. Anyway, as long as you make progress, he will not say anything when he is the lord. This is certain. However, at this time, it is obvious that he doesn't care about this. What he cares most now is naturally what time is it.
For him, this is the most important thing, a great achievement. But it is really good to be able to win the praise of his lord and his elder brother. Anyway, this is better than nothing. For him, having is better than not. However, it can be seen that Li Tong's level is not low, but Ma Dai already has confidence in himself and himself.
Afterwards, Ma Chao said a few words and sent everyone away. He also knew that this was only his second attack, and his days were still long in the future, so it was really important to admit that it was not easy to start. Anyway, "everything is difficult at the beginning", and this statement still makes sense. Don't look at your poor performance during the first tentative attack on the first day, even if the goal was to achieve it, Ma Chao knew that he was not satisfied. In fact, it was himself, Ma Dai, and his side.
Everyone, who is satisfied? So compared with yesterday, today's performance is naturally good. Xu Du sent troops and Cao Cao sent reinforcements to Nanyang. In the evening, Li Tong finally knew about this. This was told by the newly arrived horse explorer. After hearing this, Li Tong nodded slightly. Yes, only 100,000 troops from the Liangzhou army, he would never ask for reinforcements. But since his lord is
If everyone has sent someone, then if that is the case, Li Tong will never push it out. That is a fool. And if his lord wants to do this, can you still disobey the fate? Obviously, that is impossible. So at this time, Li Tong was also waiting to see Xu Huang and the others bring 30,000 troops here. Even if they don’t go into the city, it will be beneficial to their side after all. This is a bit good.
Li Tong asked the explorer to go down and rest. He knew that Xu Huang and Xun You and the others were probably going to reach Jiyang. Although the explorer was a man, his speed was faster than the 30,000 army, this was certain. But how to say that, after all, Xu Huang and the others came as reinforcements, so he and Xun You must also march urgently, at least the speed would not be slow. So Li Tong knew that he would not arrive tomorrow, so the next day, it would be almost the same. He had asked his own explorer carefully before, Xu Huang
When did they arrive in Nanyang? So Li Tong calculated that when was Xu Huang and his team here? He was more at ease to know this. It was not that Xu Huang would be able to defend the city when he came. Li Tong didn’t have that idea. But one thing is certain, that is, as long as Xu Huang and his team led 30,000 troops to station in the rear of the Liangzhou army, then he
We will not be at peace unless we destroy the 30,000 people. This is Li Tong's idea. It can be said that the 30,000 people brought by Xu Huang and others, no matter what their effect is, at least it is good for their own side, but it is not good for the Liangzhou army. No matter what, at least Li Tong is very clear, and he naturally knows that with those 30,000 people, he can hold the Liangzhou army for a long time. As for how long, I don't know this. Anyway, if their Yanzhou army wanted to break Jiyang in a month before, then wait for Xu Huang's three
When ten thousand people come, it is obviously impossible to break the city in a month. That's it. For Li Tong, these 30,000 people are useful even if they are not defending the city. Of course, to put it bluntly, let alone the 30,000 people on their own appeared behind the Liangzhou Army. Even if there were 30,000 trees, the Liangzhou Army wanted to cut them down. Wouldn't it take some trouble? So, 30,000 people are naturally beneficial to their own side. At this time, Li Tong called the soldiers and ordered: "I inform the entire army, and the lord had asked General Xu Huang to send troops,
"No!" Li Tong was also a general in the military for more than ten years, so he naturally had rich experience. He knew that at this time, he should have notified him early and let his soldiers know that his lord had sent reinforcements. If he hadn't had this matter, with Li Tong's personality, he basically wouldn't send orders or tell this lies. But Xu
They arrived soon, so of course it would be better to say this earlier. He knew that saying this would have an impact on his morale and would be good for him. And what else should I say? Li Tong deliberately did not say how many people Xu Huang brought. Obviously he wanted his soldiers to think about it himself. Then Li Tong still knew most of their thoughts and would never think that
My lords will ask Mr. Xu Huang to bring people, so this will naturally be more beneficial to me, which is inevitable. As a result, it is indeed not much the same as what Li Tong thought. After the soldiers went down to report, the whole army knew that his lord sent reinforcements. Many soldiers were very at ease and had a little confidence. For them, it was not just something that could not be defended by the city, but that they followed their general and were not alive at that time, which was the biggest problem. And now, in this situation,
It depends on the 100,000 people who want to defend the city? Basically, don't think about it. His lord asked General Xu Huang to bring troops here. Isn't this just enough to hold back the Liangzhou army? And the people in this city will probably lose less in the end. The soldiers are naturally happy. The morale has improved so much. It's really not easy. They don't know how many people they came.
There are few people, but most of them are really like Li Tong thought. After thinking about it, I guess they can come a lot, so this is a great benefit to our side for the current war, but it is not good for the Liangzhou army. For the soldiers of Yanzhou army in the city, this is definitely good news. As for the true or falsehood, isn't that a joke? He will never say this after knowing his general for so many years.
The lie is that. So the soldiers of Yanzhou in Jiyang naturally know what their generals are. At least they have been defending here for many years? Indeed, it can be said that since Li Tong and these Yanzhou soldiers came to Nanyang, they have not been replaced by Cao Cao until now. They have only increased their troops, but they have not reduced their people. It is normal to say that this is, after all, only generals and soldiers who are really familiar with the city can play the greatest role in siege battles, especially defense.
Can Cao not know? So as long as Li Tong is not wrong, he will never change people. And Li Tong is pretty good. Even though he has only guarded such a place as Nanyang for many years, he has never complained, and he also thinks that his lord trusts him. In fact, it is true. Isn’t that the truth? If Cao Cao really doesn’t trust him, he can let him go.
Nanyang? That's impossible, so he really knew that Li Tong was capable and loyal, so it was of course very appropriate to let him be here. If it was a substitution, that was not impossible, but who made him come here at the beginning? So with Cao Cao's personality, Li Tong had no major problems, and he would never just change him because that was not his personality.
Li Tong's little movement, or small moves, didn't know the Liangzhou army outside the city at all. After all, they were stationed at the west gate of Jiyang at this time, and the horses came in from the east gate, so where did the Liangzhou army know about this? Of course, even if they knew it, they didn't necessarily think that Xu Du came to reinforcements. If you want to confirm such a thing, you can only look at the result, or you will catch the soldiers of Yanzhou army and ask about it. It's almost like that. But obviously,
Liangzhou Army has not had the chance to do this, and it seems that Li Tong would never say to tell the Liangzhou Army or something at this time. In his opinion, perhaps when Xu Huang appeared, the Liangzhou Army would be a little surprised, and he would not tell them earlier. He felt that it would be better not to tell the Liangzhou Army, so when the Liangzhou Army was probing the horses, he had not found out that Xu Huang came with reinforcements.
We really wouldn't know about this. Li Tong wouldn't say it, so they could only wait for their own exploration to discover the reinforcements of the Yanzhou Army, which is it.
