Chapter 348

Huayin County, 20 miles behind the county.

This is where Yan Liang's troops are stationed.

Yan Liang brought only 10000 elite troops from Jizhou. However, Yan Liang was not a step-by-step man. After he conquered the whole Hongnong County, he recruited 10000 soldiers.

Now, under Yan Liang's command, there are 20000 troops.

Yan Liang's military supplies, on the one hand, depended on Yuan Shao's supplies, on the other hand, on the local collection of food.

Today, there is no shortage of military provisions.

The soldiers are still drilling and everything is in order.

Yan Liang is a Veteran General in the army. He is very strict in discipline in the army. He eats and lives with the soldiers, and he doesn't do anything special. In addition, he is highly skilled in martial arts and is well received by the soldiers.

On the school field.

Yan Liangguang's upper body was covered with bronze muscles and sweating. He was leading the soldiers to practice.

"Newspaper!"

A soldier, running fast. The soldier came to Yan Liang's side and reported: "general, we have the latest information from Chang'an."

When Yan Liang heard that it was Chang'an, he immediately ordered the deputy general to continue to train his soldiers, and he quickly returned to the Chinese army. After sitting down, Yan Liang allowed the soldiers to wipe, put on his coat and robe, and received the information sent back by the soldiers.

Intelligence is the news that Zhang Xiu sent troops.

"OK, OK, Zhang Xiu is finally out. I'm getting impatient waiting for him. "

In Yan Liang's eyes, there was a touch of light.

Yan Liang had already known the news of Xu you's arrest before. He was quite helpless about the news. He scolded Xu you for not being successful enough to be defeated.

At the beginning, Xu you insisted on going to Chang'an, creating chaos for Zhang Xiu, and even seeking Chang'an. Yan Liang strongly disagreed, because he didn't think Xu you could succeed.

But Xu you was a military adviser, and even Xu you had more power than Yan Liang.

All Xu you went to Chang'an.

Finally, Xu you failed and fell into Zhang Xiu's hands.

Yan Liang get detailed information, know Xu you is defeated in the assassination of Zhang Xiu, but also scold Xu you no brain. Xu you is a schemer and can hide behind the scenes. He is so conceited that he is captured by Zhang Xiu.

Yan Liang knew that Xu you was a man of strategy and ability. The failure of such a person is not due to lack of ability, but because he is too arrogant to see Zhang Xiu in his eyes.

This is the reason why Xu you failed.

Yan Liang pondered quickly. After thinking for a while, he sent an order to let the general of the army mobilize the army and prepare to go to the county of Huayin county to fight Zhang Xiu.

Just when Yan Liang gave the order, Sui Gu's messenger came.

Yan Liang had a good impression of Sui Gu. Because Sui Gu in front of Yan Liang, there is no show, and put the posture is very upright, without a little bit of pride, is a look of respect.

Yan Liang received the messenger.

After receiving the letter, Yan Liang quickly read it and fell into meditation.

Sui Gu's suggestion is that this time Zhang Xiu came to Hongnong county with a large number of troops, and it was not cost-effective to fight head-on. He suggested that Yan Liang not stop Zhang Xiu, and let Zhang Xiu go to the county seat of Huayin county. Sui Gu led the army and used the county seat of Huayin county to resist.

On the other side, Yan Liang led his troops to the back of Zhang Xiu. After Zhang Xiu's army failed to attack Huayin county and lost a lot of troops, Yan Liang led the army to attack Zhang Xiu's rear.

At that time, the two armies attacked Zhang Xiu.

After Yan Liang thought about Sui Gu's suggestion, he found it workable.

Although Yan Liang has 20000 elite soldiers, if he confronts Zhang Xiu head-on, we should know that Zhang Xiu has more than 30000 elite soldiers. Even if Yan Liang is elite, he is not an opponent.

Unless Sui Gu leads his troops to join him.

Obviously, it's not worth it.

Under this premise, the best way is to use the city of Huayin county and consume Zhang Xiu's troops first.

The siege has always consumed the most troops. Although Zhang Xiu has more than 30000 troops, if she wants to attack Huayin County, it will take at least half or more of her troops to capture Huayin county.

This is a great consumption for Zhang Xiu.

Although Yan Liang is brave, he is not a man of courage and resourcefulness. He knows the basic March and array, and the basic military strategy. When he knows that there is a better way, he will not give up.

Yan Liang looked at the messenger who had always been preaching, and said, "go back and tell Sui Gu that his suggestion would have been adopted. Next, Ben will do it his way. "

"Here it is

The messenger answered and went back.

Yan Liang decided to make a detour to the rear of Zhang Xiu, and then ordered again to arrange for the soldiers to prepare. However, although Yan Liang gave the order, he didn't move in during the day. Instead, after dark, he left 2000 soldiers to guard the camp, pretending to be a large army, and then quietly left the camp in the dark.

When Yan Liang went here, he had nearly 18000 people under his command.

Among them, there are two thousand cavalry.

There are also 16000 foot soldiers in the whole army. They have enough dry food to survive in the next 10 days and a half months.If the road is crowded in the daytime, the army will stop. If it's a remote place, keep going. And at night, it's always on fire.

In less than two days, the army led by Yan Liang bypassed the county seat of Huayin county.

In fact, if you take the official road, it doesn't take so long. It takes less than half a day to get to the county. But it took more than a day because of a lot of detours.

After Yan Liang led the army to bypass the county seat, the number of people gradually decreased and the roads gradually widened.

At this time, Yan Liang was on his way at full speed.

Yan Liang's plan is to move on for more than ten miles and stop to stay. Fifteen miles in front of Yan Liang, a cavalry was also on its way to Huayin county.

This is Chen Dao's cavalry.

Chen Dao quietly rushed to the county seat of Huayin county. At first he took the official road, but gradually he took the path to hide his whereabouts.

As the army was on its way, a sentinel rushed back from the front.

The sentinel came to Chen Dao with an eager look and reported: "general, we found Yan Liang's army 13 miles in front of us. Its army consists of two thousand cavalry and fifteen thousand infantry. Like us, they are also taking the path, not the official road. "

Chen to smell speech, eyebrows up.

He took the path to Huayin County, but Yan Liang was also taking the path. Now Chen Dao is located in the west of Huayin County, and has not yet arrived at the county.

However, Yan Liang is still in the army.

This means that Yan Liang is likely to lead the soldiers, intending to hide behind Zhang Xiu's army.

This is to attack the rear of Zhang Xiu.

Of course, it may be that Yan Liang led his troops to Chang'an to contain the army. This possibility is relatively low.

Chen Dao is thinking quickly in his heart, because he is now facing two choices.

First, fight directly with Yan Liang.

Although Chen Dao had only 3000 elite soldiers in Langya camp. But with Chen Dao's elite soldiers in Langya camp, even if he met Yan Liang's army, Chen Dao dared to fight in the first World War. In particular, the soldiers under his command could completely disperse in this wide area, which was enough to hold Yan Liang's army here.

Second, avoid Yan Liang's army.

If Chen Dao chooses to avoid it, he must change his route to avoid Yan Liang finding his army's whereabouts. Along the way, Chen Dao arranged for sentries to inquire for information.

Sentinel did not find the other party's spies, proving that his whereabouts have not been exposed.

Chen Dao's brain is turning quickly, thinking about how to choose. He had never been indecisive. He soon had a plan in his heart and said, "pass the orders, turn around and avoid Yan Liang's army."

After the order was given, Chen Dao arranged for the soldiers to go back to the rear to convey the message to Zhang Xiu.

After all this, Chen Dao digs his way to Huayin county.

What Chen wants to do now is to capture Huayin county first. As long as the capture of Huayin County, even if Yan Liang hiding in the dark, it is also easy to do. What's more, Yan Liang thought he was hiding in the dark, but he was exposed to Zhang Xiu's sight.

On the contrary, it is easier to calculate Yan Liang.

Chen to now and Yan Liang fight, easy to scare, so Chen chose to go to Huayin county.

This is the best choice.
