"Oh, right, Fengxian, other than Guangling County, which surrendered to Yuan Shu, the rest of the six counties in Xu Prefecture surrendered. The lord should issue an edict to the people to calm them down.”
Chen Gong recalled the important matter and said immediately.
"Eh, such a small matter can be handled publicly.”Lu Bu was getting impatient when he heard that. He waved his hand and turned to drink and chat with the beauty in his arms.
That night, Xinye City.
The man held the coin in his mouth, and the horse wrapped its hooves. Countless soldiers lined up neatly and slowly left the city.
Zhang Xiu was the leader of the army. He held a golden spear with a tiger head in his hand and chased the wind and the sun under his crotch. He was full of heroic spirit. Behind him were Huang Zhong, Wen Pin and other deputy generals, and Jia Xu was beside him.
As for Hu Che 'er, Zhang Xiu had arranged for him to escort the supplies in the rear. Looking at the square and slender boxes, Hu Che 'er was dumbfounded. He really could not understand why his lord wanted him to take care of these cardboard boxes.
Could it be that these boxes were edible? Or could it be used in war? I don't understand. Annoying!
This time, Zhang Xiu led a total of 2,000 elite cavalry and 8,000 infantry, a total of 10,000 troops heading north.
The first year of Jian 'an, early July.
When the emperor returned to Luoyang, all kinds of things were waiting to be done.
However, the situation in the world was turbulent. First, there was a general named Yuan Shu, who appointed Ji Ling as the general and sent 20,000 troops, known as 100,000 troops, directly to Runan. Later, Lu Bu, the herdsman of Xuzhou, appointed Zhang Liao as his general and sent 8,000 troops, claiming to be 50,000 troops, to attack Chenliu and Liang.
Zhang Xiu personally led more than 10,000 infantry and cavalry, Huang Zhong, Wen Pin and others as partial generals, claiming to be an army of 50,000, from Yecheng, straight to Cao Cao's camp, Xuchang.
For a moment, the situation changed.
Zhang Xiu, Yuan Shu, and Lu Bu had a total of 200,000 troops. Under Zhang Xiu's single-handedly pushing, they attacked Cao together. Their momentum was unparalleled.
All the heroes in the world looked askance at him.
Yingchuan, Xuchang City.
Xun Yu was marking the documents submitted by various places when an urgent voice sounded.
"Milord, trouble, trouble.”
Xun Yu's expression was calm. He raised his eyebrows and said softly,""Don't panic. Tell me slowly."
The sentry licked his dry lips and said anxiously,""Your Majesty, the scouts at the front line have reported that Zhang Xiu has joined forces with Yuan Shu and Lu Bu to send 200,000 troops to attack from three directions.”
Xun Yu's gaze tightened, and his indifference was reduced.
"Now, now…"
"Now what…" Xun Yu asked anxiously.
"Right now, Zhang Xiu has already led the Western Liang cavalry straight to Xiang City. Xiang City is in an emergency.”
Xun Yu was taken aback. He could not help but say angrily," Humph! What nonsense! Si City, Kunyang, and Wuyang are all the first places for Xiang City. How can Zhang Xiu cross these three places and approach Xiang City?"”
It should be known that there were less than 1,000 defenders in Xiangcheng. Once they fell, Zhang Xiu's army would approach Yingyin. Xuchang was less than 100 miles northeast of Yingyin. If Yingyin was lost, Xuchang would be exposed to Zhang Xiu's cavalry.
"Your Majesty, I dare not speak nonsense. The generals of Si City, Kunyang, and Wuyang have already fallen into Zhang Xiu's hands.”The sentry cried out in pain.
"What is it? Surrender without a fight?" Xun Yu staggered. This plot was somewhat familiar. Wasn't it the same as when Lu Bu entered Yanzhou two years ago?
"Phew!" Xun Yu took a deep breath and said in a trembling voice,""Take my letter and pass it on to the generals for a meeting.”
"Yes!"
......
After a long while, inside the manor.
Xun Yu sat upright and upright at the head of the table. Beside him was a soldier holding a sword named Yitian, which Cao Cao had left behind before he left.
There were dozens of civil officials and generals in the hall, which could be said to be a powerful lineup.
"It happened so suddenly that I had no choice but to summon you all. I hope you all will not blame me.”Xun Yu said solemnly.
"My lord, you are now heading north to Luoyang. However, Zhang Xiu of Nanyang, Lu Bu of Xuzhou, and Yuan Shu of Jiujiang have all come to invade. They claim to have an army of 200,000. They are divided into three groups, and their momentum is like a rainbow.”
"And before the lord left, he entrusted his family business to us. We should swear to protect Yan and Yu. Otherwise, we will not be able to face the lord when he returns.”
Xu Chu was burly and had a waist that was about ten girths wide. At this moment, he strode out and said fiercely,"Hmph, Lu Bu and Yuan Shu are just defeated generals. Your Majesty only needs to give me 3,000 elite soldiers and I will definitely take the head of that child Ji Ling.”
" Zhongkang, don't be impatient." Xun Yu pressed his hands together." Zhongkang, you are a capable general under the lord. Ji Ling is not worth mentioning. However, the enemy is powerful now. Protecting the people is more important."”
After he finished speaking, Xun Yu looked around and said in a deep voice,""Yu Jin, Yue Jin, listen to my orders. I order you two to lead three thousand armored soldiers and set off immediately. You are to station your troops in Meng County and Liang.”
"I accept your orders!" The two of them cupped their fists in response.
"Ren Jun, Cai Yang, listen up. I order the two of you to lead 5,000 armored soldiers and set off immediately.”Xun Yu said solemnly.
"I accept your orders!" The two of them were not afraid at all. Instead, they were eager to give it a try.
"Xiahou Yuan, Li Dian, listen up. You two are ordered to lead the troops to guard Xuchang. Unless the Lord or Yu personally opens the city gates, you are not allowed to open them.”Xun Yu's eyes lit up. Xuchang was Cao Cao's foundation and must be defended.
Xiahou Yuan wanted to argue, but after a quick glance, he saw that Cao Ren had followed the army north and Xuchang had to be defended by himself. He immediately cupped his fists and accepted the order.
"Zhang Xiu's troops have already arrived at Xiang City, and they are heading straight for Xuchang.
My intention is to resist Zhang Xiu and Yingyin outside, as long as we defeat them, Lu Yuan's coalition army is not worth worrying about. In this battle, I will go with the army. The rest of the generals will follow me to resist Zhang Xiu. We will not return until we defeat him.”Xun Yu pulled out Heavenly Sword and shouted.
There were only about 20,000 soldiers in Yuzhou. Apart from those stationed in various places, there were only 8,000 soldiers left. It could be said that if any accidents happened on the three roads, Yuzhou might not be able to protect itself.
All the generals were also attracted by Xun Yu's scholarly style. Their faces were red and they rubbed their fists.
"Xun You, you will be in charge of government affairs during this period. If there are traitors, kill them without mercy. Cheng Yu, I'll leave the logistics to you.”Xun Yu said with a deep gaze.
The two of them looked at each other and nodded solemnly.
The meeting was very short, but it showed Xun Yu's ability to make decisions. One must know that when Lu Bu took Yanzhou, it was Xun Yu who protected the last of Cao Cao's foundation, which allowed him to turn the tables.
When everyone left, Xun Yu quickly stepped forward and said to Xiahou Yuan and Cao Chun,""Generals, please wait."
"Just be straightforward, Military Advisor." Xiahou Yuan was extremely respectful to Xun Yu and hurriedly cupped his fists.
"Miaocai, this battle is no small matter. I have already sent people to report to the lord. However, Xuchang cannot be lost. During this period, any movement in Xuchang must be destroyed with lightning. Remember this.”Xun Yu warned.
" Don't worry, Military Advisor," Xiahou Yuan replied solemnly.
"Zihe, your cavalry has been training for many days. I want you to lead the cavalry to guard Linying, and Yingyin each other's horns, in case of accidents.
Linying is only fifty miles away from Yingyin. If our army wins, you can take advantage of the situation to attack. If you lose, you can lead the army to cover the rear." Xun Yu said earnestly.
