Fei Guan and Meng Da led 3,000 soldiers and horses out of the city after dark. Most of these 3,000 soldiers and horses were veterans of Feitian Camp. Guerrilla warfare did not pose any difficulties to them. It can be said that they are the special forces of this era.
The training method of the Han army, no matter who is their commander, will not affect the combat effectiveness. Because both centurions and thousands captains have the ability to independently lead the army in combat.
"Yongnian, is there anything else?" After Fazheng and others left, Liu Cong found that Zhang Song had not left yet, so he asked.
"My lord, among the generals in Yizhou, Zhang Ren and Huang Quan are considered to be the most handsome. My lord has not blamed Huang Quan's family members. Huang Quan must have known about it, and his subordinates thought that now is the best time to persuade them to surrender!" Zhang Song said.
¡°Why is now the best time?¡±
"Zhang Ren, Huang Quan, Yang Huai and others did not follow An Le Gong's order to surrender. That was because Liu Xun was still in Luoxian County at that time. The situation was originally unknown, but Liu Bei confused right and wrong, so that they joined forces with Liu Bei to fight against Lord. But now, firstly, Liu Bei has reduced their military power, which will definitely make them dissatisfied. Secondly, what Meng Huo did will definitely make them hate it, and they will regret cooperating with Liu Bei. As long as the Lord does not hold them accountable for their past crimes. , I am sure they will surrender."
"The two armies are at war, each with his own master. It is not a crime for them to be my enemy. As long as they are willing to surrender, I will naturally welcome them. But if they have been in Liu Bei's camp, I will destroy them!"
"My lord is kind, so I will write a letter to Huang Quan to inform my lord of his sincerity and urge him to surrender."
"good!"
"My lord, I heard that General Zhang Xiu and Zhang Ren are senior brothers, why not ask General Zhang Xiu to write a letter to General Zhang Ren" Zhang Song added.
"Oh" Liu Cong thought about it, it wasn't just the two of them, Zhao Yun was also Zhang Ren's junior brother! "Okay, Yongnian, ask Xiaozhi to pass the order and ask Zhang Xiu to come to Chengdu quickly!"
"No!"
Deng Xian and Lingbao have surrendered. It is enough for Wudu and Yinping to be guarded by Yang Fu, Deng Xian and Lingbao, and Liu Bei has many powerful generals. Therefore, Liu Cong transferred Zhang Xiu to Chengdu by the way.
"Yongnian, have you ever known Qin Mi?"
"Qin Mi" Zhang Song nodded, "My subordinates have heard of this person. He is from Mianzhu, Guanghan, and has a rare talent. Liu Xun, the prefect of Guanghan at that time, wanted to recruit him as a long history officer, but he was rejected."
"Now, the Chengdu Order has been vacant. I want to recruit Qin Mi as the Chengdu Order. What does Yongnian think?"
"My lord is wise, Qin Mi will definitely be able to do the job!"
"There was also a man named Deng Zhi, who was also a general, so we recruited him as the captain together and was responsible for the security of the city."
"No!"
"Report to the prince, Ma Zhong wants to see you!" At this time, a soldier came over to report.
"Let him in!"
"No!"
Soon, Ma Zhong ran in with small steps.
"My lord, news from Yanzhou!" Ma Zhong handed over some information.
"Yanzhou?" Liu Cong has actually been paying attention to Yanzhou during this period, but Yanzhou has always been calm. But Liu Cong knew that after this calm, there would definitely be big moves.
"Okay, okay!" Liu Cong quickly browsed through the information, and his excitement was palpable.
"My Lord, what's the good news?" Zhang Song asked.
"The Central Plains Corps captured Yanzhou with almost no bloodshed!" Liu Cong handed the information to Zhang Song.
After reading it, Zhang Song was more excited than Liu Cong.
"Lord, now we have occupied Yuzhou and Yanzhou. This is the Central Plains, the center of the Han Dynasty!" Zhang Song's face was full of longing, "From now on, we will compete in the world, and the offensive and defensive momentum will be easy!"
Although we were also fighting for hegemony in the past, we were passively defensive. However, after occupying Yanzhou and Yuzhou, we have the sword in our own hands and can take the initiative to attack.
"Come here, please send word to Deng Ai, Fazheng, and Jiang Wei immediately to discuss matters in the study!"
"No!"
Cao Cao will never lose Yanzhou willingly. He is in Chengdu and cannot get away. Pang Tong and Wei Yan will be under great pressure. Liu Cong must think of countermeasures.
After a while, Deng Ai, Fazheng and Jiang Wei all came to Liu Cong's study. Liu Cong let several people read the information sent by Ma Zhong.
After getting excited, everyone calmed down.
"My lord, the next step is for Cao Cao to gather his army for a decisive battle at Guandu. Judging from the formation of the Central Plains Corps, Zhao YunXia Houlan's 15,000 troops guarded Baima, Yan Xing's 10,000 troops guarded Yanjin, Zhenbei general Wei Yan and military advisor Pang Tong led 30,000 troops to guard Guandu, which was equivalent to strangling Cao Jun's throat, but the troops were too few after all. . "Fazheng said.
"How many troops can Cao Cao gather now?" Liu Cong asked.
"Reporting to my lord, Cao Cao withdrew 50,000 troops and horses from Sishui Pass, and transferred 20,000 troops and horses from Qingzhou and Youzhou. Jizhou gathered 10,000 troops and horses, a total of 100,000, and set off for Guandu. At the same time, Zhao Zhao He Maojie led 20,000 soldiers and horses to force Yanjin and Baima." Ma Zhong reported.
"There are a total of 130,000 troops. It seems that Cao Cao will not give up until he takes Yanzhou back!" Liu Cong's face was full of worry.
"My Lord, our army actually occupies a geographical advantage. As long as we can't hold on, no matter how many Cao's troops there are, it will not be easy to capture Guandu." Fa Zheng was not very worried.
"Yes, in the Battle of Guandu between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, Cao Cao's 70,000 troops were stationed in Guandu. Yuan Shao's 700,000 troops faced off against them for several months but could not be captured. In the end, Cao Cao seized the opportunity and burned Wuchao won." Zhang Song remembered the Battle of Guandu in Dudu.
"Yuan Shao is strategist and never makes a decision, but Cao Cao is different, so we can't take it lightly!" Liu Cong thought for a while, "Can Xu Huang from Bingzhou make any moves?"
"Xu Huang gathered 50,000 troops in Shangdang, but he never stood still!" Ma Zhong said.
"Xu Huang's goal is very clear, which is to contain Huang Zhong's Luoyang Corps and prevent him from participating in the Battle of Guandu." Fa Zheng said.
"It seems that Wei Yan and Pang Tong can only rely on Wei Yan and Pang Tong for Guandu!" Liu Cong was a little helpless. Although he had a lot of troops, the place was big and there were wars everywhere, so he couldn't spare any extra troops.
"Does the Lord give an order to General Wei Yan and Military Advisor Pang Tong to prevent them from leaving?" Zhang Song asked.
"No, things are changing rapidly on the battlefield, and generals should adapt to the situation! We are thousands of miles away, how can we command the battle? Let them solve all problems by themselves." Liu Cong shook his head, "Ma Zhong, send a message to Wang Can, Luoyang Weapons produced by the Ministry of Industry will be given priority to the Central Plains Corps!"
"No!"
"My lord is wise!" Fazheng nodded, and Liu Cong really stated the plan for the war.
"Wei Yan and Pang Tong will definitely defend Guandu. We will go all out to defend Chengdu. After completely defeating Liu Bei, the army will immediately go north to fight Cao Cao again in Guandu!"
