There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

The young man cupped his hands and said, "The Hussar General is wise."

Liu Biao continued: "As for what your uncle wants, Liu will gradually give it to the Pang family, but what the old man asks, you have to do it."

The young man made a bow and said, "Pangzi naturally has everything he can do."

……

The pottery merchant asked Guo Jia to lead his troops across the sea to attack Donglai County, but he immediately gathered the rest of the main force and sent troops out of Langya Kingdom to Qingzhou in the north.

The two Hebei generals currently guarding Beihai County and Jiaodong Kingdom in Qingzhou are the generals Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang under Yuan Shao's command.

This time, they arranged according to Yuan Shao's arrangement, not only arranged heavy troops in the two counties, but also arranged more than [-] large camps in Zhuangwu, Yi'an, Chang'an, Gaomi and other important places on the front line, and these The big camps were all built according to the dangers, and they were guarded by heavy soldiers, and the fortifications in it were well prepared, as strong as a bastard iron cover.

In particular, Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang were very obedient. According to Yuan Shao's military order, they just shrank back and did not fight. They also issued a strict order that those strong strongholds on the front line were not allowed to fight, but were only allowed to defend. Whoever dares to fight, regardless of meritorious service Whether or not, all beheaded according to military law.

And even if other strongholds are attacked, they are not allowed to support them... they are only allowed to stick to their own camps, and if they lose their camps, they will not be spared.

As for the family members of the Qingzhou generals guarding the front camp, Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang placed all of them in Jiaodong Kingdom where Lu Kuang was located as hostages.

As a result, these Qingzhou soldiers on the front line lost all opportunities to choose. They had only one way out, and that was to desperately block the potter's attack and fight to the end.

The soldiers and horses of the pottery merchants are extremely elite, and the generals under his command look at the world, and they are also rare and strong... But with such a configuration, facing this group of Qingzhou Tietong Wang Bajun who is sticking to the camp like crazy, does not fight and does not give up. , is also progressing very slowly.

Just Yi'an's first Dazhai blocked the grain road, and the potter's Jinling army fought with all their might for almost ten days.

On the tenth day, when the excited Ah Fei threw the head of Yuan Jiang, who was guarding Dazhai, in front of the potter, he was not excited at all.

The pottery merchant looked at the head on the ground sadly, and said, "How long has this battle been going on?"

Ah Fei cupped his hands towards the potter, and said, "No more, no less, exactly ten days!"

The potter turned to look at the generals and asked, "How many villages like this do Yuan Jun have?"

Huang Zhong stood up and said, "Let's say there are still seventeen or eight seats."

The pottery merchant sighed, and said, "It will take [-] to [-] days to fight one by one like this... Don't we have to fight until next year?"

Huang Zhong laughed and said: "Although it took a long time, the enemy army just set up this kind of camp to defend it, and did not send troops to support it. Our move will greatly consume the enemy's strength. If seventeen or eight of them are defeated, at least they will be worn out. Yuan Jun's combat strength of one hundred thousand, even if it takes longer, is still worth it."

The pottery merchant shook his head and said, "General Huang, you are wrong. Yuan Shao is not a fool, how could he let you kill 10 people for no reason?"

Huang Zhong heard the words: "Our food and grass are plentiful, and it's not that we can't afford him. What else can Yuan Shao do?"

The pottery merchant sighed and said: "General Huang, you are from Nanyang. You don't know how severe the winter in the north is. In two months, there will be heavy snow in the north. Our southern army is not tolerant of the cold, so we cannot camp in the wild in winter." , before that, we must grab a piece of base to use to station our troops, so that we will be able to spend with Yuan Shao until the beginning of next spring. If we can’t during this period, we will either retreat, or we will be counterattacked by Yuan Shao’s northern troops, and we will be defeated across the board... After all, Yuan Shao is also the leader of the feudal lords, resourceful and resourceful, he has already figured this out, so he would rather sacrifice his generals than delay our marching time, this is the reason."

Huang Zhong suddenly realized when he heard the words.

Zhao Yundao: "Hasn't the troops of Guo Jia and Brother Ziyi already gone to Donglai County? If they can conquer Donglai County and attack us back and forth, they will also open a passage for us to go to Donglai County .”

The potter shook his head and said: "That is an ideal state, but there will be many variables in it. What if Guo Jia and Brother Ziyi can't conquer Donglai County? Or what if it is delayed? We still have to You need to plan ahead and be prepared.”

Zhao Yun hesitated for a moment and said, "Then what do you want to do?"

The pottery merchant thought about it carefully, and finally sighed helplessly.

"There is no other way, the old trick - sending people to feign surrender, this trick has been tried and tested."

Zhao Yun frowned and said: "Surrender, but who has the qualifications and reasons? I'm afraid it's General Qu Yiqu, right?"

Qu Yi also went on a conquest with the army this time, since he was defeated by Huang Zhong last time, his arrogance has subsided a lot.

Hearing Zhao Yun's words, Qu Yi smiled wryly and said, "Yuan Shao and I are already in a heated quarrel, if I pretend to surrender, I'm afraid it would be better for the Prime Minister to convince them by pretending to surrender."

Tao Shang clapped his hands and said with a smile: "General Qu has made progress, everyone knows that he is joking... Don't worry, there are other candidates, and the general does not need to go out in person."

Zhao Yun was puzzled when he heard the words: "Then who will go?"

"In the ears and nose."

There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 659 The Ambition of Ear and Nose

Many people at the scene knew the name Yu Er Nai, but as for his identity, except for a few people in Xuzhou who knew the inside story, the rest did not know the true identity of Er Nai, even Guo Jia was among them. .

Xu Rong, the only high-level general who knew about this matter, was still guarding Pengcheng with Lu Su, but he was not here.

Most people thought that he was just a refugee who fled from the Huns to the Central Plains, and was responsible for raising horses full-time under the command of pottery merchants.

Since the potters hijacked more than [-] war horses from Li Jue and Guo Si, and delivered them to the Jinling Racecourse for breeding and training, after this period of time, the number and quality of the Jinling Army's horse troops are completely incomparable compared with those of the past. Same day.

Among them, the war horses of Li Jue and Guo Si are important, but their ears and noses are also indispensable.

Today's Northern Expedition, although the number of cavalry under the Tao merchant's command is still less than that of Yuan Shao, they have enough capital to compete with him.

It's just that although Yu Erbi has gained some fame under the command of the pottery merchant, his reputation for raising a good horse is not as good as his military achievements. In everyone's heart, he has always been a logistics support personnel.

Now the pottery merchant wants him to feign surrender... What kind of trick is this playing?

And this Northern Expedition, what kind of trouble is the pottery merchant leading a horse breeder with the army?

The function of the ears and nose is naturally not known to others, and the potter does not want to tell everyone.

This Northern Expedition is not just about dealing with Yuan Shao. Such a large-scale battle in Hebei is bound to attract the attention of Xianbei, Xiongnu, Wuhuan and other ministries, and they will certainly take action. It is a dark move against the alien layout.

Everyone left temporarily with doubts, but the pottery merchant ordered Pei Qianyu to bring them here.

The little prince of the Huns has been raised by pottery merchants for many years, but this time he can finally be put to use.

Raise soldiers for a thousand days, use them for a while...Little wolf dog, the time has come to let you go back to the grassland to eat shit.

The pottery merchant has not treated his ear and nose badly these years, and has always treated him with good food and drink.

And Yu Er Nose lived up to expectations. After seven years of raising horses in Xuzhou, he has become a veritable fat man.

The sturdy prairie-type standard figure of the past has disappeared. With thick double chins, abs that have turned from six packs to one, and two mustaches, he looks like a chubby wine shop owner.

Who dares to call such a person a steppe warrior, the king of the Southern Huns?

Judging by his size, this prairie warrior may not even be able to ride a horse now.

Quietly looking at Yu's ears and nose for a while, the potter suddenly sighed: "Your Highness, compared to the last time you reported to me the increase in the number of Jinling war horses, you seem to have lost weight again."

"Really?" Yu Er nose raised his hand and pinched his chubby face, and said, "Why doesn't my subordinate feel that? On the contrary, I feel that I have lost weight recently, and my body is very uncomfortable."

The pottery merchant rolled his eyes and said: "After so many years, I never thought you would turn into this bird... It's all my fault... That's all, I won't mention this matter for now, but I need your help with something. do it."

Yu Erbi hurriedly said: "Your prime minister can tell you what to do. Didn't you get some good horses from somewhere?"
