Chapter 486

Yang Zaixing, Yang Yansi, and Fang Xuanling, who was accompanying the army, led ten thousand people to Wuyin County to join Chang Yuchun's army.Chang Yuchun's army was not stationed in the city, but set up camp outside the city. After the handover of the [-] troops, they were all handed over to Chang Yuchun's command.

After Chang Yuchun finished handling the garrison of the army, he invited Yang Zaixing, Yang Yan's heir Fang Xuanling and others to the big tent. Although the three of them had the same official positions, as the chief general, Chang Yuchun naturally took the right seat, and the others were divided into official positions. Sitting down high and low, Chang Yuchun asked: "General Yang and the other troops are here, what instructions does Your Majesty have?"

Yang Zaixing looked at Fang Xuanling and said: "This Fang Xuanling, named Qiao, is a military adviser sent by His Majesty, let him convey His Majesty's will!"

"It turned out to be a military advisor, so I'm being rude, I don't know what your Majesty's intentions are?" Chang Yuchun bowed his hands to Fang Xuanling and asked immediately.

Fang Xuanling bowed his hand to return the salute, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, Zhao Kuangyin, Sun Jian and others have been tacitly aware that General Chang's soldiers and horses are here to hold back the main force of Yuan's army, and they are two princes attacking Yuan Shu from top to bottom! So General Chang's task is to This is the place to hold Yuan Jun's main force!"

Chang Yuchun said incredulously: "Zhao Kuangyin and Sun Jian are both heroes. Your Majesty uses the two of them to conspire to attack Yuan Shu. Isn't that just seeking skin from a tiger? How could they attack Yuan Shu sincerely!"

Fang Xuanling smiled and said: "General, don't worry, if they want to expand their strength, they must attack Yuan Shu with all their strength!"

After hearing this, Chang Yuchun nodded and said: "Since Your Majesty has considered everything carefully, then the general will act according to orders! It is just to hold back the main force of Yuan Jun. Now Runan Yuan Jun only has 20, and Yuan Shu's army has at least [-]. It's not the main force. It seems that the general will have to fight again to put pressure on Yuan Shu and let him send more troops to garrison Runan!"

After listening to Chang Yuchun's words, Fang Xuanling secretly praised him. He only said roughly, and Chang Yuchun knew what the main task was now.No wonder Liu Bian let him command an army of [-] troops.

Before Chang Yuchun brought all the generals to the map of Runan, let's see, Yuan Jun is now stationed in Shangcai. Their army has set up defenses along the Ru River and built a high fort on the other side of the river, intending to intercept our army.

The generals frowned as they watched, Fang Xuanling praised: "The man who fortified this is quite knowledgeable in the art of war! This Ru River is the only way for our army to go east, almost across Runan, our army wants to To advance eastward, we must cross the Ru River. However, Yuan Jun’s defense is based on this, and our army is relatively passive. Once we cross the river, Yuan Jun may attack halfway! Even if we cross the Ru River, Yuan Jun’s fortresses built along the way are enough to hold us back The army is not allowed to go east! This man has a good command of the army!"

Chang Yuchun nodded and said: "That's right, during these few days, Yuan Jun has hoarded a large amount of food, grass and supplies in Shangcai City and in the fortresses along the way. He just wanted to use the Ru River to block our army's eastward advance! Military division Is there a way to defeat the enemy?"

Fang Xuanling said with a smile: "This is thanks to Yuan Shu. Although the person who arranged this formation knows the art of war, Yuan Shu is not good at employing people. He asked Hou Junji to garrison Runan, but he was worried, so he sent Zhang Xun here. Is it true?"

"That's right, Zhang Xun is a veteran of Yuan Shu. After Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, Zhang Xun was made a great general, but Zhang Xun is mediocre. Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, and this is the man who jumped up! I was defeated, tens of thousands of troops were wiped out, Yuan Shu didn't trust Hou Junji very much, originally Hou Junji was stationed in Runan, but he was worried and sent Zhang Xun here!" Chang Yuchun explained.

"If only Hou Junji was stationed in Runan alone, I'm afraid he would really hold back our army, but Yuan Shu didn't trust him, so he sent Zhang Xun here. This is our chance to defeat the enemy!" Fang Xuanling looked at Map laughed.

The generals looked at Fang Xuanling in amazement, but Chang Yuchun understood Fang Xuanling's brilliance when he saw this. He used tricks to judge people's character. Now Fang Xuanling pointed out Yuan Jun's flaws sharply, and let Chang Yuchun know Fang Xuanling is really talented and practical.Chang Yuchun cupped his hands and said, "I would like to hear the details!"

"I don't know how the Yuan army will be allocated. Who will guard the Shangcai and who will guard the fortress along the river, Hou Junji or Zhang Xun?" Fang Xuanling asked.

"Yuan Jun had [-] troops, Zhang Xun led [-] troops to garrison Shangcai, and Hou Junji led [-] troops to garrison in the forts along the river. Each fort was separated by tens of miles, and there were beacon towers in the middle to deliver news!" Chang said. Yuchun replied.

"Zhang Xun is a mediocre man, and Hou Junji is a general. When we use troops, we naturally have to avoid the most important and take the lightest. Where Zhang Xun is guarding, our army will attack there. Since Zhang Xun is stationed in Shangcai, our army will attack Zhang Xun!" Fang Xuanling laughed.

After hearing this, Chang Yuchun laughed and said: "I also want to attack Shangcai. Zhang Xun is a mediocre man. He only needs to use a little trick to provoke him to go out of the city to fight with our army. Now the military advisers are here to convey His Majesty's message." The decree and the idea of ​​the military division coincide with mine, so tomorrow I will raise troops to attack Shangcai!"

"General Chang, our army should go north along the tributaries of the Ru River, first go down to Wufang County, then go down to Xunyang County, and then attack Shangcai!" Fang Xuanling suggested, cupping his hands.

After hearing this, Chang Yuchun took it for granted and said: "The military adviser is right, I have already prepared the boats to cross the river, and I can send troops tomorrow!"

"The general is far-sighted, it seems that I, as a military adviser, may have nothing to do!" Fang Xuanling laughed loudly after hearing this.

On the second day, [-] troops went upstream along the Huang River to Wufang County.

Yuan Shu's influence is Huainan, what is Huainan?That is, the area south of the Huaihe River, Lujiang River, Jiujiang River, and even Runan belong to the Huaihe River Basin.The Huaihe River is the third largest river belonging to the Han Dynasty. Apart from the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, the Huaihe River is the largest.The Ruhe River is a branch of the Huaihe River, and the Huangshui River is a branch of the Ruhe River. Going north along the Huangshui River, you will find Wufang and Qiyang counties, and Shangcai to the north.

And this Ru River is almost separated from the south of the two Ru Rivers. If the Han army wants to advance eastward, it must cross the Ru River. It is worth mentioning that the Ru River is a branch of the Huai River. If you go down the river, you will reach Shouchun directly.

It is not unreasonable for Hou Junji to advocate using the Ruhe River to defend against Hou Junji.

On the second day, the Han army arrived at the county seat of Wufang, but there was no garrison in the county seat. Chang Yuchun entered Wufang and sent troops down to Xunyang.Chang Yuchun garrisoned food, grass and supplies in Qiyang, sent five thousand soldiers and horses to garrison them, and brought a large army to Shangcai.

When Hou Junji got the news that the Han army sent troops, he immediately sent a letter to Zhang Xun of Shangcai, asking him not to go out of the city to fight.And he also sent soldiers and horses to inquire about Shangcai's situation, and the beacon tower was on standby at any time. If there was any change, he would light the beacon fire and gather soldiers and horses to attack.

After Chang Yuchun came to Xiacai, he set up camp five miles down the city, and Chang Yuchun himself went to the city to call for battle.

When Zhang Xun came to the city, he saw Chang Yuchun yelling at the base of the city, and Chang Yuchun yelled: "Zhang Xun dare to go out of the city and fight with me?"

Zhang Xun knew that Chang Yuchun was brave, and he had some thoughts about being appointed as a general by Yuan Shu. Zhang Xun secretly said: "First send someone out to try Chang Yuchun's methods. If he is really as brave as the rumors, I won't go. Sent to die."

"Which one of you dares to fight Chang Yuchun?" Zhang Xun looked around and asked.

The generals didn't dare, and after waiting for a while, there was one who didn't know what to do, and said, "The last general is willing to go!"

Zhang Xun didn't ask his name, and said happily, "You are really a warrior, so you can go!"

The general galloped out immediately, Chang Yuchun saw an unknown soldier coming, and thought to himself: "Zhang Xun sent this person here, I am afraid that he wants to test my martial arts skills, so I deliberately showed weakness and tricked Zhang Xun into fighting!"

General Yuan galloped out on horseback and charged Chang Yuchun directly. Chang Yuchun rode his horse and raised his gun to fight. The two fought for more than thirty rounds. He urged the horse to chase, but Chang Yuchun turned around and shot him off the horse.

Originally, Chang Yuchun could win something in one round, but Chang Yuchun took [-] rounds abruptly, and still used tricks to kill it.

At this time, Zhang Xun who was at the top of the city became thoughtful, and said to himself: "This Chang Yuchun's martial arts is not very good, I will go out of the city to fight him, so as not to be hit by his morale!"

Zhang Xun made a gesture to go out of the city to fight Chang Yuchun, all the generals around Zhang Xun persuaded: "General, as a general, you should not take risks yourself, let alone General Hou Junji told us to stick to Shangcai and not take the initiative to attack ah."

When Zhang Xun heard this, he immediately became unhappy, and said displeasedly: "This general is a great general, and Hou Junji is just a former general. Why should I listen to Hou Junji's order? He ordered that he can't stand firm, this general But there was no such order!"

"Bring my weapon, I will meet Chang Yuchun, Hou Junji is incapable and can't beat him, but this general doesn't believe in this evil!" Zhang Xun said resolutely.

But after a while, the gate of Shangcai City opened and Zhang Xun rushed out.Zhang Xun rode his horse and raised his saber, and went straight to Chang Yuchun, Chang Yuchun saw Zhang Xun but said: "I heard that you are some kind of general appointed by Yuan Shu, how do I think Hou Junji is the general?"

Zhang Xun was furious: "Today I will show you how powerful this general is!"

Chang Yuchun didn't talk to Zhang Xun, and he brandished his golden gun with the tiger's head, and charged at Zhang Xun. This time, Chang Yuchun still released the water.It would be easy to kill only Zhang Xun, but in this way, the defenders in the city would be afraid and unable to escape.Chang Yuchun wants to keep Zhang Xun, make him proud and arrogant, lead the army out of the city to fight, and then defeat Yuan Jun.

In the case of Chang Yuchun's intentional release of water, the two fought for more than a hundred rounds regardless of the outcome, and they stopped fighting until it was dark.

Zhang Xun returned to Shangcai, and said with a sneer, "Although Chang Yuchun is brave, he is no match for this general. I think you may be afraid of the Han army, and I will kill him tomorrow!"

And Chang Yuchun went back to the camp to raise the account to discuss matters, Chang Yuchun said to Fang Xuanling: "Military Master, I have followed your plan to draw a tie with Zhang Xun, and Zhang Xun will definitely have a pampered heart!"

After hearing this, Fang Xuanling was overjoyed and said: "Yuan Jun has such a mediocre talent, but God helped our army. The general can go out of the city to challenge for a few days in a row. Hou Junji will definitely dissuade Zhang Xun when he gets the news, and Zhang Xun's pampered life will make him die." Ignore Hou Junji's request. At that time, our army can design to lure Zhang Xun out of the city to fight, so that Hou Junji can send reinforcements to Shangcai!"

Chang Yuchun listened and continued: "Then our army can use cavalry to encircle the back road of Hou Junji. He set up a fort along the Ru River to place soldiers and horses. The soldiers and horses cannot gather together quickly. Our army will use weapons to raid the back road. It must be broken!"

"What the general said is not bad!" Fang Xuanling nodded after hearing this: "Our cavalry needs to be dispatched as soon as possible. It is already late at night. We can ask the cavalry to bring a few days of dry food and surround them in advance. , led the cavalry to kill!"
