The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

Xun Chang and more than ten riders left Changyi, went all the way south, and entered Jiyin.

Because Xunzhen is currently stationing troops in Changyi, Jiyin counties are quite heavily guarded, not to mention that the county town is strictly guarded, and the township and pavilion are also patrolled by soldiers from time to time. Wu Zi handed down an omen, whoever catches Xuzhou soldiers and scouts will be rewarded 20,000 yuan for each person who is captured by the soldiers of Jiyin County; if it is a villager, a cow will be given. The brave, but also willing to act as the eyes and ears of Wu Zi.

In order to avoid encountering the patrolling Jiyin soldiers, and also to save the villagers from being seen, Xun Chang led the ride away from the main road and took the remote path. Walking on the small road, it was indeed avoided by the soldiers of Jiyin County, and there was no fear of being discovered by the villagers. After passing through Chengwu County in Jiyin County, he encountered a group of bandits.

Xun Chang himself was good at cavalry and archery, and the dozen or so subordinate cavalry that followed him were the elite of Xuzhou soldiers.

Chengwu County, adjacent to Changyi. After Chengwu and further onwards, it is Ji's County. In Jiyin County, there are three counties to the east and south of Jishui, and there is a Shanfu County. Shanfu is southeast of Chengwu and northeast of Ji's.

Chen Guomeng Xu Kun had already led his troops into Chen Guomeng County, which was adjacent to Ji's clan.

The territory of Ji's County was turbulent, and there was tense air everywhere, and the defense was very tight.

Xun Chang and the others followed the way of crossing Chengwu County, taking the small road without any danger, and passed through Ji's.

After passing through two counties, the journey has reached this point, and it has only been about a hundred miles up and down.

Yanzhou and Yuzhou are densely populated, usually within a hundred miles, there are two or three counties and towns, which is not surprising.

The departure from Changyi the day before yesterday afternoon, entered the border of Liang Kingdom, and when Mengxian was in sight, the sun had not yet reached the middle of the sky.

This is still a small road along the way. It took a long way to go around, and killed a group of thieves. Meng County.

Xu Kun heard the news and sent officials out of the city to meet Xun Chang.

Xu Kun was the prime minister of two thousand stones, and his official position was far more honorable than that of Xun Chang. Even though Xun Chang was the younger brother of Xun Zhen, he could not work for Xu Kun to welcome him personally.

Xun Chang asked the official who came out to greet him, "Where is Sun Yuzhou now?"

The official replied, "It's in Pingyu." He added, "My family's ruler has prepared a banquet in the house to wash the dust for him. I would like to invite you to enter the city and take a break for the time being."

It doesn't matter if you eat or not, the key is that military affairs should not be delayed.

Xun Chang politely refused and said, "I am following the order of General Zhendong to visit Sun Yuzhou. Military affairs are important, so I will not stay in Mengxian County. Please go back to the city and express my thanks to Xu Xiang on my behalf."

The official promised.

Liang State is the boundary of Yuzhou.

In the first year of Zhongping, since the start of the army with Xun Zhen, Xun Chang followed the army to the north and south, and only once returned to Yingchuan, or Yuzhou, when Xun Zhen served as the prefect of Guangling. This is the second time he has set foot on the land of Yuzhou.

Although the accent of the people of Liang Guo was different from that of the people of Yingchuan, they still felt very cordial when they heard it in Xun Pu's ears.

Feeling homesick after a long absence, Xun Pu repeatedly raised his head to look west on the way south to Runan County.

Especially when he left Liang State, entered Chen State, and entered Runan from Chen State, his emotions were even stronger.

Both Chen State and Runan bordered Yingchuan, and to the west of these two counties, within two hundred miles of Xunchang, was his hometown, Yingyin.

I don't know how good the clansmen who stayed in their hometown are? I don't know if the old friends from when I was young still exist. Don't know if your house is cleaned and taken care of? Xun Chang's parents have passed away, thinking of his parents' voices and smiles when they were born, thinking of the grave where his parents are now buried, Jao Yi Xun Chang has long been accustomed to seeing parting, and he can't help but feel a strong nostalgic feeling. In the middle, I almost burst into tears.

Forced by the feeling of homesickness, Xun Chang galloped on his horse.

Three days later, after traveling for 400 li, they arrived at the prefecture of Runan County, Pingyu.

The officials under Sun Jian's tent brought him into the city.

On the same day, Sun Jian summoned him.

Xun Chang bowed down to the hall, saluted, got up, and gave Xun Zhen's reply.

Sun Jian Zhanxin watched, and there was no other language in the letter, only greetings.

Sun Jian invited Xun Chang to sit down and asked him, "How is Zhenzhi doing now? Yanzhou has been fighting fiercely for days and nights, and Zhenzhi must have been working on military affairs day and night.

Xun Chang replied, "My brother is healthy and healthy."

Sun Jian sighed: "It's been a long time since I saw Zhenzhi! I miss it very much. I dreamed of Zhenzhi a few days ago. I dreamed that he and I, the two of us, would have a good time with wine, throw a pot and shoot arrows, Very happy. When I woke up from the dream, the moonlight was shining in front of the bed, and the night was lonely and there was no sound of people.

Xun Chang said: "My brother often talks about General Ming, Dao and General Ming are brothers; whenever he gets drunk, he must say the story when he worked together with General Ming to attack Dong's thieves. The royal family of hearts are loyal and fierce, and they admire them very much. They say to the left and right: Heroes in the world are only generals."

Sun Jian was very happy and said with a smile: "There are so many heroes in the world, how can I dare to call myself the only one? Chastity is a must."

When Sun Hao went to Changyi, he brought Xun Zhen some special products of Yuzhou as a gift. The so-called ritual exchanges, Xun Chang came here to Ping Yu, and he also brought some gifts to Sun Jian, as well as to Sun Ce and Sun Quan.

Now, give the gift.

The etiquette is done, let's get to the point.

Sun Jian asked, "What did Zhenzhi say?"

Xun Chang replied, "My brother is very happy to hear that General Ming is willing to help our army to capture Jiyin. He asked me to express my thanks when I see General Ming."

Sun Jian stroked his beard and said with a smile: "I attacked Yin and Hanoi in Henan before, and Lu Bu took the opportunity to attack my Runan. Thanks to Zhenzhi's help, he was able to defeat them. Just as you said just now, Zhenzhi and I are inseparable. Although the friendship is not of the same birth, it is better than the brothers, but today it is just a matter of peach and li, which is a matter of course. What's the matter? Saying thank you is too outlandish."

Xun Chang said, "Yes."

Sun Jian asked, "What is Zhenzhi's correction on my military deployment?"

Xun Chang said: "General Ming's military deployment is very wise. My brother agrees."

Sun Jian nodded and said, "So, when does Zhenzhi plan to attack Jiyin?"

"If General Ming agrees, my brother plans to attack Jiyin in ten days."

Sun Jian was overjoyed, and said, "Okay!" After calculating the time, he said, "If we launch an offensive in ten days, I will lead the troops north tomorrow and enter Fule! From Pingyu to Fule, it is more than 300 li, even if we travel six days a day. Ten miles, you can get there in five or six days.”

Xun Chang said, "My brother has two words that I should present to General Ming."

"What?"

"My brother said that although Zhang Mengzhuo doesn't know soldiers, Chenliu has a lot of soldiers in the end, please don't despise Chen Liu, General Ming, this is a sentence; after General Ming enters Fule, Lu Bu on the south side of Rushui may act rashly, please General Ming, be more careful, this is the second sentence."

Sun Jian smiled and said, "Zhenzhi is still so attentive! I understand. Of course I will not be careless about Chen Liu, and I have already made arrangements for that little boy Lu Bu. I have deployed heavy troops to guard both sides of Rubei and Tanshui, please forgive him. Can't make a big wave!"

"General Ming has already made arrangements, and that is the best."

Xun Chang stayed at the guest house of the county government in Pingyu County that night.

The next day, Sun Jian gathered his troops and horses, and set off north in the afternoon with the heavy grain and grain. Xun Kai followed it.

...

The battalion led by Sun Ce and Sun Jian.

Fule was due north of Pingyu, and Sun Jian went north.

Bo County was in the northeast of Pingyu, and Sun Ce took Huang Gai and Rui Zhi with him and led his troops to the northeast.

After crossing the river in Hanoi and fighting against Lü Bu in Runan, Sun Ce, despite his youth, had already established his prestige among the Yuzhou army. Huang Gai and Rui Zhi were very respectful to him; He is also obedient and willing to obey his orders.

Pingyu is farther from Bo County, about 300 li; it is closer to Fule, about 200 li.

When Sun Ce arrived in Bo County, Sun Jian had already arrived in Fule.

It is less than two hundred miles from Mengxian County to Fule. Qingqi rides day and night, changing horses in the middle, and it can be reached in one day.

Sun Ce sent an envoy to Sun Jian's camp to report that he had reached the fighting position.

Then Sun Ce sent scouts into Jiyin County to investigate the situation of Ji's and Dingtao, and at the same time sent envoys to Changyi to contact Xunzhen.

...

Sun Jian also sent messengers to Xun Zhen.

Changyi County.

The messengers of Sun Jian and Sun Ce arrived one after another.

There are still three days before the agreed date to launch the attack.

War is a thing, on the road of two-way attack, it is necessary to determine the time, so that one side has launched an offensive, but the other side has not started for some reason, which will lead to the disadvantage of the war.

As a result, Xun Zhen sent another messenger to the camps of Sun Jian and Sun Ce to determine the time of the offensive for the last time.

Not only Liu Bei's team, but also the Le Jin team have joined Xun Zhen.

Xu Xian, Le Jin, Liu Bei and other troops, plus Xin Ai and other troops brought by Xun Zhen from Hexiang, Xun Zhen currently has about 10,000 troops available.

In the west, there are more than 30,000 works by Cao Cao of the Cheng clan.

It seems that Xun Zhen's troops are only one-third of Cao Cao's troops, but if you simply compare the combat effectiveness, the combat power of Cao Cao's soldiers is actually not as good as that of Xun Zhen's soldiers.

There are three reasons~www.wuxiaspot.com~ One is the soldiers of Cao Cao's army. The source is complicated. They are from Cao Cao's headquarters, soldiers from Shanyang, Jiyin, Chenliu, and Jiang Qi who Yuan Shao had previously supported him. It was composed of five or six parts, including soldiers from Jizhou, and newly recruited strong men from Dongjun and other places. The sources are different, the generals of each other are not familiar with each other, and there is a lack of tacit understanding. When they are placed on the battlefield, there is a high possibility of major problems.

One is the armor and other equipment and daily training of the soldiers of Cao Cao's battalions, which are inferior to those of Xuzhou soldiers.

One is that Yanzhou soldiers were defeated after all. Half of Yanzhou was now occupied by Xuzhou soldiers. In terms of morale, Yanzhou soldiers were quite low.

Before, Xun Zhen hesitated whether to continue the war with Cao Cao. One reason was that the troops were already exhausted. Another reason was that he was worried that Wu Zi of Dingtao and Zhang Miao of Chen Liu would rush to help Cao Cao. This would further increase Cao Cao's forces. .

Now with the addition of the Yuzhou soldiers led by Sun Jian, the latter concern has been largely resolved.

As for the previous concern, after more than ten days of rest, the physical strength of Xuzhou soldiers has greatly recovered.

Xun Zhen summoned Xi Zhicai and others to discuss the actions of the battle.

At this battle meeting, everyone was in high spirits, and they were confident in the upcoming fierce battle for Jiyin.

The war started on time three days later.
