"Young Master, Yicheng Shendan and Shenyi brothers have been in business for many years. We have to attack with a thousand soldiers and horses. I'm afraid I'm afraid it won't be easy!" Ma Liang wanted to say it was impossible, but he was afraid that it would offend Liu Cong too much.
"There is no need to worry about this!"
"Young Master, there are a thousand soldiers in Yicheng, all of whom are capable of fighting. They have ten thousand dan of food and plenty of armor! You can use them at your command!"
"Ten thousand stones of food!" Liu Cong exclaimed after hearing Ma Liang's words. During this war, soldiers are important, but food is even more important. If there is no food, no matter how many soldiers there are, they will collapse without fighting. The Battle of Guandu is an example. .
Ten thousand shi of grain can supply three thousand soldiers for more than three months, which is enough to ensure that he wins Shangyong. Just now he was thinking that even if Ma Liang was willing to lend him troops, food and grass would still be a problem, but he didn't expect that it would be solved all at once.
"Ji Chang, Zhong Miao, thank you very much! I just don't know"
"Young master, you are welcome. We used to be ministers of Jingzhou, so we can only help you. As for our whereabouts, it is up to the family to decide!"
Before Liu Cong could say anything, Ma Liang refused, which somewhat disappointed Liu Cong. However, the purpose of his trip was to borrow troops. Now that he had troops and food, he was very satisfied.
"In that case, when can the soldiers and horses be taken away?"
"We will rectify our troops immediately!"
"good!"
Huo Jun and Ma Liang immediately left the county magistrate's office.
"Ji Chang, what do you think of the second young master?"
"I really didn't see it before. He actually had such foresight. It's a pity that he missed the opportunity. Now the world has basically been decided. Even if Cao Cao is defeated, this Jingzhou belongs to Uncle Liu Huang's Sun Quan!"
"Then why did Ji Chang give the soldiers, horses, and food to the second young master?"
"We have been ministers of Jingzhou for many years, so let's repay the great kindness of Xianzhou Mu! Besides, I am not willing to leave these to Cao Cao!"
"Then what if the second young master really wins Shangyong?"
"Really win Shangyong?" Ma Liang looked at Huo Jun and smiled, "Will you? Then I will be his minister again!"
An hour later, a thousand soldiers and horses and ten thousand stones of food were assembled, and Huo Jun handed the military talisman to Liu Cong.
"Thank you Jichang, Zhongmiao!" Liu Cong bowed his hands to the two of them, led a thousand soldiers and horses, and escorted 10,000 shi of grain out of Yicheng.
A thousand soldiers and horses came to the foot of the mountain where Cai and Deng Ai were and stopped.
Liu Cong sent a team of soldiers up the mountain to pick up his mother Cai and Deng Ai and their son.
After a while, the three of them came to the foot of the mountain with the support of the soldiers.
In fact, Deng Ai had discovered the army a long time ago, but Cai's ankle was sprained and it was difficult to move. Otherwise, they would have come down long ago.
"Shi Zai, a thousand soldiers, ten thousand stones of food and grass, I have brought them all!" Liu Cong smiled.
Deng Ai did not hesitate, strode to Liu Cong, knelt down on his knees, "Deng Ai pays homage to the lord!"
"Shizai, please get up quickly!" Liu Cong helped Deng Ai up with both hands, "With Shizai's help, I will definitely defeat the Cao thieves and take back Jingzhou!"
With food, grass, and soldiers and horses, Liu Cong was not in a hurry. He planned to rest for a few days and reorganize his soldiers and horses first.
When fighting in ancient times, great emphasis was placed on the formation of troops. If the formation was messed up, no matter how many soldiers and horses there were, it would be a mob and the battle would not be won.
Liu Cong and Deng Ai discussed and decided to divide the thousand soldiers into three teams, namely 400 spearmen, 400 sword and shield soldiers and 200 crossbowmen.
The sword and shield soldiers were named Feihu Camp and were led by Li Hu, the commander of thousands.
The spearmen were named Feitian Camp, and Deng Ai was appointed commander.
The two hundred crossbowmen were named Feiyu Camp and Liu Cong personally commanded them.
The horses that Tiger and Leopard rode and the carriage that Liu Cong rode, Deng Ai, have been recovered. Liu Cong, Deng Ai, and Li Hu each picked a good horse, and the rest were assigned to the centurions in the army.
There was an acute shortage of war horses in the south. Among their thousands of soldiers, they only had some horses to transport grain and grass. When they were in Yicheng, only Captain Huo Jun and County Magistrate Ma Liang had mounts. Now these centurions also had it, so they were very happy.
Liu Cong then announced that the salary of each soldier would be doubled, which made the thousands of soldiers energetic and their combat effectiveness increased a lot.
In ancient times, being a soldier was called eating food, but in fact it was just to make ends meet. They fought hard, but the generals often deducted their food and pay. Now they heard that Liu Cong not only would not deduct, but also doubled it. How could they not be excited? At the same time, they were also determined to be loyal to Liu Cong.
Deng Ai admired him from the sideUnexpectedly, he did not expect that the pampered Liu Cong actually knew that under a heavy reward, there must be a brave man, and knew how to seize the morale of the army. This made him understand Liu Cong to a higher level and became more determined in his choice. .
After arranging his troops in the mountains and forests for three days, Liu Cong set off.
In order to reduce trouble, the route they set made a circle, traveling more than a hundred miles, but they could bypass Xiangyang and Nanjun. These two places are strategic points in Jingzhou. Cao Cao must have sent generals and heavy troops to guard them. If soldiers and horses appear nearby, they will definitely attract a large number of Cao's troops. At that time, even Shangyong may not be able to reach them and the entire army will be annihilated.
Liu Cong and Deng Ai led 200 crossbowmen and 400 spearmen as the front team, and Li Hu led 400 sword and shield soldiers as the rear team, escorting grain and grass, and escorting Cai and Mrs. Deng.
Because it was a detour, the road they took was rugged, so their marching speed was not fast.
"My lord, there may be an ambush here!" Suddenly, Deng Ai looked at the forest in front of him and said.
"Ambush?"
¡°Please look, my lord, there are no birds chirping in such a dense forest. This is extremely abnormal!¡±
Liu Cong looked up and nodded, "Command the army to stop advancing immediately!"
"No!" Deng Ai immediately gave the order.
The army immediately stopped, and a phalanx of sword and shield soldiers was deployed around it, with the grain and grass in the middle. The spearmen were at the corners. In the gaps between the shields, the crossbowmen had already placed their arrows on the strings.
"Lord, what will we do if they don't come out?" After waiting for a long time, no soldiers appeared in the forest, and Deng Ai became a little anxious. The current Deng Ai must be still a child at this time and does not have the composure of a general.
"Wait! They will definitely show up!" Liu Cong was very sure that the enemy ambush did not have many troops, and he was not sure that he could swallow up all his 1,000 soldiers and 10,000 stones of food and grass.
And if you rush in rashly without knowing the truth, you may suffer a big loss.
Since this is the case, then wait for the other party to show up and change from passive to active.
In autumn, the mountains and forests in the south are not only hot and humid, but also full of poisonous insects. It is impossible for the robbers to lie in wait for a long time.
Sure enough, about half an hour later, there was a lot of movement in the forest. Immediately afterwards, a group of soldiers and horses came out one after another. However, they did not rush to kill, but stopped about thirty feet away from Liu Cong's army. . (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
