Zhang Xi led "tens of thousands of troops" to come and surrounded Shangcai city. The small Shangcai city fell into a panic. We should know that the total number of guards in the city was only one thousand. In case Zhang jaw attacked the city, would it not be a drum?
"Brother Wang, you said that we can hold on to the Lord this time. I mean your majesty..." the recruits in the county knew that they had made a mistake and asked carefully, "will your majesty send troops here?"
"Well, your majesty will certainly send troops here." An old soldier with a scratched Leather Armor grinned and said, "it's just that Shangcai city is a county town in the end. It's hard to say whether our 800 or 900 old and disabled soldiers can support your Majesty's help."
The recruit subconsciously clenched the spear in his hand and said in a trembling voice, "well, what can I do?"
"Do you know who is the leader?" the old soldier said with a grim smile
"I don't know." The new soldier shook his head honestly. He only saw that the general flag of the enemy outside the city was a word, but he did not know who it was.
"That's Liu Yuqing's general Zhang jaw!" The old soldier showed off his knowledge to the new recruits with pride: "General Liu went on a campaign in all directions. Under his command, there were two generals, Yu Jin and Zhang jaw, just like the Marquis of Huaiyin and the king of Liang (Pengyue)"
"Zhang Yi and Liu Yi are not alone." "This time, Liu Ye sent Zhang jaw. I'm afraid the whole Runan County is in danger, let alone Shangcai city."
Just when the recruits were deeply worried, a sharp drink suddenly sounded behind the veteran.
"What's the nonsense about?"
Seeing Li County Wei's gloomy face, the old soldier hastily made up a smile: "it turns out that it's Li County captain. I'll talk to little brother Zhang about it. Don't take it seriously."
Li Xian Wei coldly hummed: "the enemy is in front of you. If you dare to talk nonsense again, you will be stabbed to death first."
"Yes, yes, yes, Li Xianwei. You are welcome to leave." With a smile on his face, the old soldier sent him away, patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Brother Wang, Captain Li is so fierce. I think he really wanted to kill you just now." Seeing the county captain left, Xiao Zhang's heart was still beating very fast.
"You don't know, this Li Xian Wei is a capable man." Old soldier Wang said: "Li County captain has made a lot of contributions, but they were all robbed by the above generals. So far, he is still a county captain. Otherwise, his Majesty would have to make him a general."
Naturally, Li Xianwei couldn't hear their arguments. Zhang's army attacked the city, and he couldn't sleep at night. So he went out to inspect the city and thought while walking.
Why didn't Zhang jaw drive the army to attack the city?
Zhang jaw and Yu Jian had always used the opposite style of military use. Yu Jian was steady and steady, without showing any flaws. He attacked the enemy with an open and upright manner like Mount Tai, belonging to the "Zheng" faction. In Liu Ye's early war with fewer enemies and more enemies, thanks to Yu Jin's iron wall defense to block the enemy, this changed from weak to strong.
However, Zhang jaw is skillful in using military forces, and he is not rigidly attached to his form. Now Shangcai city is in front of Zhang jaw. Shangcai city is not a strong city defended by Shouchun and Pingyu. What can we do with it?
Li Xianwei is also a master of the art of war. If he led the army, he would attack the city day and night, take Shangcai County one day, and then summon a call to all quarters. If only half of Runan County were to be summoned, then he would send troops to the north to rescue Liu Bei and cut off the grain and forage sent from Shouchun to Zhang Xun's department?
Is it...
"is Zhang jaw a bluff? He doesn't have many troops under his command?"
Li County Wei eyes suddenly flash, speed up the pace to rush back to the government.
There was a candle burning in the county yamen. The magistrate was worried about Zhang jaw. He was stunned when he heard the rapid footsteps.
"Zheng Fang, why are you here?"
Li County Wei also ignored him, directly rushed to a map of Runan County, and looked at it carefully.
"Zhang jaw first attacked Kunyang and then broke Wuyang. Was it a long journey from Pingdingshan road?"
I see!
Li Yan only felt that his heart was suddenly open. No wonder Zhang jaw was surrounded here without attacking. He was just bluffing!
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Li Yan laughed, and the magistrate looked frightened.
"Zheng Fang, are you scared out of your mind?"
The county magistrate looked at Li Yan with a soft look. It was not easy for him to lead hundreds of soldiers to wipe out several bandit villages. However, his credit was taken away by several other generals in the army. Now, he is scared crazy. Alas...
"Yuanying, we are going to make great achievements!" Li Yan grabs the arm of county magistrate Liu Fu with both hands and excitedly says.
"Zhengfang, our lives are all in the hands of others. What else can we do?" Liu Fu said with a bitter smile.
"Zhang jaw has no tens of thousands of troops!" Li Yan excitedly said: "he came from Nanyang County Light soldiers, crossing Pingdingshan Road, how could he lead tens of thousands of troops?"
Liu Fu frowned: "but today, during the day, he's under his command. We've all seen it."
"Hum!" Li Yan sneered: "Zhang jaw went down to Kunyang and Wuyang city for several days. If people in the city were mobilized, it would be tens of thousands of troops."Liu Fu Ruo nodded and frowned: "but this is just your guess. What if Zhang jaw really launched tens of thousands of troops?"
Li Yan solemnly said, "so I will go to his camp tonight to explore the real situation."
"Are you going to risk yourself again?" Liu Fu quickly waved his hand: "no, no! If Zhang jaw is really bluffing as you said, even if you don't try, Cai Cheng will be solid. If Zhang jaw is really in a tight position, are you hundreds of people in the past
"Yuan Ying!" Li Yan said in a loud voice: "the husband was born in the world. When he learned to believe in Buddhism and cloth and lived in a small county, he would be like Pengzu. How can he live eight hundred years old?"
Liu Fu's face turned red, but she shook her head: "no, I don't allow you to go."
"Yuanying, don't forget." Li Yan stepped forward, staring at Liu Fu's eyes, word by word: "I am the county captain, have the right to dispatch troops."
After that, Li Yan strode out directly. Liu Fu couldn't stop him.
"Square, square!"
Although Li Yan is wearing armor, but walking like wind between the March, soon disappeared in the shadow, Liu Fu stamped his feet helplessly and sighed.
After Li Yan went out of the county government office, he immediately called in 500 soldiers. Shangcai city is just a small town, with more than 800 people in total. These 500 people are already the majority of the strength in the city.
Five hundred people were called together and whispered.
"Why did Wei Li call us here at night?"
"Yes, the enemy did not attack the city at night."
"Well, Li Xianwei has something to say. After that, he has to go back to bed."
None of them thought that Li Xian Wei would be so brave.
