Three Kingdoms Star System

Chapter 79
When Li Tong led his army to the outside of Shang County, he saw that the flags on the top of the city had changed. Cui Jun ordered someone to open the city gate, and he cupped his hands to Li Tong and said, "As entrusted by the general, Jun has captured Shang County. More than [-] soldiers were recruited, more than [-] stones of grain were obtained, and some equipment, chariots, gold and iron were all sealed up in the treasury. This is the account, please look at it, general."

Li Tong nodded, flipped through it briefly, and then said: "These supplies don't dare to be self-sufficient. When the lord arrives, everything will be left to the lord. What we have to do now is to try to calm the hearts of the people, but it's a pity that our responsibility We cannot immediately take advantage of the victory to attack Shangluo, otherwise, we may not be able to seize the opportunity to seize Shangluo by force."

But Cui Jun smiled and said: "Actually, this may not be a bad thing. General, think about it, if we arrive at Baling now, what will happen? Our army can only bear more than [-] Xiliang alone." The cavalry's attack, even if we can win, will definitely hurt our vitality, and this will benefit Ma Teng and Cao Cao. Therefore, we need to advance slowly, steadily and steadily, step by step, and gradually eliminate the enemy's strength. After Cao Cao has captured Hongnong and Ma Teng's army is dispatched, we will join the allied forces and attack Chang'an together."

Li Tong thought for a while, and then said with a smile on his face: "It's still wise, sir. If this is the case, then we will deploy the defense of Shang County with peace of mind. I believe that Li Jue will send people to counterattack Shang County in the near future. At that time, we will be here again." Repelling their attack is also considered a great achievement."

"Yes, I believe that my lord's main army will arrive by then. We will attack from both inside and outside and break Li Jue's offensive. We will definitely make my lord famous all over the world."

Cui Jun also nodded and smiled.

And a few days later, Liu He, who got the news, was also smiling, and praised: "Li Tong really did not live up to my expectations, he captured Shang County so easily, and gathered thousands of troops. Make a note of it, pass down the order to reward Li Tong's officers and men with ten thousand pieces of cloth, and also reward Li Tong with a thousand pieces of gold, after this battle, I will report to the Son of Heaven to promote Li Tong's military rank."

At this time, Xu Shu said: "My lord, don't be too busy to be happy. You must ask General Li not to take advantage of the victory to attack Shangluo. Even if you break through Shangluo, you must immediately withdraw to Shang County. After all, our vanguard battalion is not large. The closer you are to the bandits, the more dangerous it is. It is best to build defenses in Shang County and wait for the bandits to attack, so that he can rely on the geographical advantage to resist, and we can also take the opportunity to cooperate with General Li to defeat the bandits."

Liu Ye also nodded when he heard the words, and said, "Yuan Zhi's words are true, please pass on the order immediately, my lord."

Hearing this, Liu He said with a smile: "I will pass on this matter immediately, but you don't have to worry, I believe Cui Zhouping will remind you in time, and Li Wenda is not stupid, he will definitely choose to stick to Shangluo instead of rushing to attack Shangluo. "

To Liu He's words, Xun You and the others all nodded their heads, admiringly at the same time.Although Liu He's intelligence is not high, but this kind of mind and tolerance of trust in people is indeed beyond the comparison of ordinary people. Being able to know people well and trust them, this is more than pure intelligence. clever.

Immediately afterwards, Liu He was not in a hurry and led the army to advance slowly. He had to slow down as much as possible and must rush to Shang County after Li Jue's counterattack army arrived. It is best when the Liangzhou army arrived in Shang County. , they are still not close, so they can have a greater chance of winning.

And what the counselors under Liu He had predicted was indeed correct. When they heard that Liu He's vanguard army had captured Shang County as easily as the wind swept through the clouds, Li Jue, Guo Si and others were shocked when they heard the news, and immediately ordered He sent reinforcements to Shangluo, and at the same time ordered his general, Anxi General Yang Ding to lead [-] cavalry under his command, and sent his general Yang Feng as his deputy to lead [-] Baibo troops to follow Yang Ding to attack Shang County.

"This time you have a total of 3 people under your command, and the thief general Li Tong is only an unknown general, and there are only a few thousand soldiers under your command. If you can't take back Shang County like this, it will really embarrass my Liangzhou army. " Li Jue looked at Yang Ding and Yang Feng, although they were all smiles, everyone could hear the provocative meaning in the words.

Yang Ding said calmly: "Zhiran, don't worry. This time I, Yang Ding, have been dispatched. If I still can't capture a small Shang County, then how can I have the dignity to survive in our Liangzhou Army?"

Yang Ding is also considered a big boss in the Liangzhou Army. Although his influence is not as great as that of Li Jue, Guo Si and Zhang Ji, his status should not be underestimated. It is precisely because of this that Li Jue was appointed as General Anxi .

After that, Yang Ding led an army of [-] people and immediately rushed to Shang County. In just one day and one night, he arrived fifteen miles outside Shang County.

Yang Ding ordered the army to set up camp, and after a short rest, he led his [-] cavalry directly to Shang County, and ordered Yang Feng to lead his [-] Baibo army to guard the camp.

In Yang Ding's view, although Yang Feng was also a general of Li Jue, he was born in the Baibo bandit after all, and he had no combat power at all. The county has made great contributions, and there is no need to distribute the credit to the other party.

Although Yang Feng was angry in his heart, he could only swallow his anger and accept the order obediently.

Yang Ding led the army forward vigorously, but he didn't expect that the journey would be full of hardships, because it was only fifteen miles from the barracks to the city of Shang County, but the enemy actually sprinkled thorns, barbed thorns, etc. along the road. He set up hundreds of horse traps, but because Yang Ding was eager to make contributions, he did not send spies to investigate the road conditions. As a result, hundreds of soldiers were lost along the way.

Whenever he saw the sergeants falling into the horse pit, being stabbed by the antlers, carbine guns and other objects inside, the blood flowed horizontally, the blood was bloody and screamed, his heart would twitch.

Although the fifteen-mile journey was short, it took Yang Ding's army a lot of time, and it took half an hour before they arrived at the foot of Shang County.

Yang Ding held back his anger and shouted loudly to the top of the city: "I am General Yang Ding of Anxi. Let your general in the city come to the top of the city to answer."

After a while, I saw a general with his helmet on the top of the city, shouting loudly: "Who are you? What's the point of invading my city for no reason? Or are you here to surrender to my lord?"

Then a sound of ridicule was heard from the top of the city.

Yang Ding became even angrier when he heard the words, and shouted loudly: "Wu Na man, don't use your tongue, it's not good for you, you can see it now, I'm going to attack the city with an army of [-]. Resist, so, now that I am in a good mood, quickly dismount and surrender, this way you can save a life, otherwise, once you anger me, after the capture of the city, not only will you all be killed , even the people in the city will inevitably suffer from the massacre of the city!"
