Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 720 Zhang Xutuo
When the news came that Feng Yi had successfully captured Xiaoguan, Su Lie accelerated his attack on Anding County, intending to rush to Xiaoguan to join Feng Yi.

Fortunately, like the previous Beidi County, Fu Jian did not arrange any good generals here to stay behind.How could the second-line troops, such as some county soldiers, stop Su Lie's advance.

Unlike Su Lie, on the contrary, Bai Qi was not too anxious to continue to press on Longxi and Wudu.

Today, Liangzhou Longxi, Hanyang, Wudu, Jincheng, Anding, Beidi, Wuwei, Zhangye, Jiuquan, Dunhuang, Zhangye vassal state, and Zhangye Juyan vassal state have 89 counties in the ten counties and two states. There are 18 counties in the two counties of Xialongxi and Wudu, but the Jin army really occupied only half of the remaining places, and the other half still needs to be dealt with as soon as possible.

The remaining forces of Ma Teng and Fu Jian in Hanyang needed to be cleaned up, and a large amount of land west of Liangzhou also needed to be captured by troops.At the same time, the prisoners harvested in the previous battle also need to be resolved.

Although Bai Qi's name for human slaughter came from killing prisoners, Bai Qi had his own intentions when killing prisoners, and he didn't kill them simply for the sake of killing.Take the Battle of Changping as an example, the Qin State at that time could not afford to support so many captives, and it was impossible for such a huge force to release them back to the Zhao State, so this is what happened next.

But now, after years of savings, the Jin army can still afford tens of thousands of prisoners of war.Moreover, the [-] Xiliang cavalry captives and the [-] infantry captives captured before and after the war are all elite Xiliang soldiers, and they can go to the battlefield after some rectification.

How could the Jin army, which is in urgent need of military support for multi-line combat, easily let go of this part of the manpower.

If it is true that this part of the prisoners can be gathered together, they can be used by the Jin army.Then, in the previous battle, not only can the Jin army's losses be fully made up for, but there will be a small increase in the number of troops.

In the previous battle, although Bai Qi won a big victory, he also lost more than 2 troops.With the addition of this captured army, even if the one hundred thousand horsemen of Su Lie and Feng Yi were not counted, Bai Qi still had one hundred thousand troops at his command.

And with the [-] troops here, Bai Qi was confident that Su Lie and Feng Yi would be able to attack Yang Jian in Yongzhou without worry, and he alone would be able to deal with Ma Teng and Fu Jian in Wudu and Longxi.

It's just that it's not that simple to use these soldiers with confidence.

Most of the captives and the surviving troops of Fu Jian and Ma Teng had fellow villagers or even brothers and relatives. It is not so easy to obey these people to fight Fu Jian and Ma Teng.

It was precisely in order to completely break up and reintegrate the [-] or so captives and surrendered soldiers that Bai Qi temporarily slowed down and did not advance to Wudu and Longxi Second Counties in the first place.

Secondly, although the soldiers under the command of Bai Qi and Su Lie fought more and more, this also caused the composition of Bai Qi's [-] troops to be complicated. Almost half of them came to Han Sui, Ma Teng, Fu Jian, and Yang Jian. The troops from all directions surrendered, and this was also the reason why Bai Qi suspended the rhythm of the attack.

……

"This Fu Jian is trash, and his subordinates are all trash, even the important place of Xiaoguan can be lost!" Inside Tongguan, Yang Jian's face darkened, and he threw the newspaper in his hand aside, with an extremely ugly expression. scolded.

The loss of Xiao Guan will definitely not be Fu Jian or Ma Teng, but Yang Jian who will be hit the hardest.No matter how successfully Yang Jian defended Tongguan, the Jin army could still enter Yongzhou continuously if Xiaoguan was breached.

In the hall, the generals were also shocked when they heard the news of Xiao Guan's fall.Without the protection of the four passes in this pass, their greatest advantage against the Jin army will be gone.Next, this battle will be much more difficult.

"My lord, Xiao Guan has fallen, and our army needs to come back quickly!" Gao Jiong said after hearing the news of Xiao Guan's fall, his eyelids twitched, and he suppressed the panic in his heart.

Previously, Yang Jian concentrated most of his troops on the front line of Tongguan because several princes from Liangzhou defended the west of Yongzhou.After all, as long as there is no problem in Liangzhou, the Jin army and the others will naturally not be able to threaten the west of Yongzhou.

Later, when Yang Jian sent generals such as Yu Juluo and Lu Bu to lead [-] troops to support the princes of Liangzhou, the troops on the western front of Yongzhou were even more empty.

But Yang Jian never thought that the Liangzhou princes like Fu Jian and Ma Teng were once so incompetent.In such a short period of time, the situation in Liangzhou's battle has become so corrupt.

"Where are Zhang Xutuo's soldiers and horses now?" Yang Jian couldn't help asking aloud, thinking carefully about every part of his troops in Yongzhou.

Zhang Xutuo, considered to be a pillar of the Sui Dynasty, is both wise and brave. He was the old boss of Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, Luo Shixin and other generals. , In order to save his subordinates, he entered the enemy's formation again, went back and forth four times and finally died of exhaustion.

The part of Zhang Xutuo's soldiers and horses was exactly the part of soldiers and horses that went to support Yang Fan.It's just that the world is unpredictable, Zhang Xutuo's soldiers and horses have not gone far from Chang'an, Yang Fan has already died in battle, and Xiao Guan has also declared his fall.

"My lord, we have already arrived in Qian County!" Qin Hui stepped forward slightly, and said respectfully while saluting.

In the past few years, Qin Hui's life can be said to be quite low-key, which is very different from when he was under Dong Zhuo's command.

Since Dong Zhuo's death, Qin Hui has joined Yang Jian's command with understanding.In the era of Dong Zhuo, Li Ru and Qin Hui were the only advisers under his command, but the two great talents Gao Jiong and Lu Polou could only continue to remain silent and unknown.

Compared with Dong Zhuo, Yang Jian is much more knowledgeable and capable.Among Yang Jian's subordinates, in terms of talents, Gao Jiong and Yang Su are the first to be recommended. Both of them are figures who can go from general to prime minister, lead the army from the horse, and govern the government from the horse.

These two people, no matter they are commander in chief, making suggestions, or governing the local area, they are all right.It's just that the talents of the two are different.And these two people naturally became Yang Jian's right-hand men.

In addition to these two, although Yang Rong, Yang Pu, and Yang Shiqi are better at governing, their strategies have also reached a super-class level.San Yang may not be as good as Gao Jiong and Yang Su, but his strategy is not inferior to Qin Hui's, or even surpassed.

Therefore, it is naturally impossible for Qin Hui to continue to achieve the status he had in Dong Zhuo's time under Yang Jian's command with Qin Hui's ability.

Moreover, what Qin Hui used on Dong Zhuo would not work on Yang Jian.After using it a few times, Qin Hui even aroused Yang Jian's slight disgust.Fortunately, Qin Hui's ability to observe words and demeanor has been perfected, so he stopped in time and dispelled Yang Jian's anger.

"Qian County!" Yang Jian nodded slightly, but he kept thinking about something in his mind.

"Tell Zhang Xutuo that there is no need to move forward, let him stick to the county and prepare to stop the Jin army at Xiaoguan!!"
