The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 168 Support
"Yuan Shao has sent people to contact the Xianbei, Wuheng, and Goguryeo tribes to attack Youzhou together in the coming year. The two have been guarding the northern gate for many years. They know very well what kind of disaster the people of Youzhou will face if the three northern tribes enter Youzhou." Chen Ziming Seeing that the timing is almost the same, stop talking nonsense and start getting down to business.

"If this is the case, Yuan Shao is really a Han traitor. Once the three northern tribes enter Youzhou, the consequences will be unimaginable." Yan Gang, who had been silent all the time, said angrily after hearing this.

Yan Gang was really angry. Isn't they stationed in a place like Macheng in the bitter cold to resist the Xianbei clan who came to plunder the people of Youzhou?

Only soldiers like them know how hard life is in Macheng. Ever since Gongsun Zan was defeated, they have become like children without parents. Thanks to the people in Youzhou who donated food to them free of charge, otherwise they would have trouble eating.

Now that Yuan Shao took the initiative to attract the three northern clans to attack, how could he not be angry.

"Mr. Ziming, absolutely do not allow the three northern tribes to enter Youzhou. If you can block the three northern tribes, we will let the soldiers and horses of Macheng be dispatched by you." Yan Gang is more qualified than Tian Yu to say this, although Macheng Tian Yu is the main one, but Yan Gang is the leading general, and Tian Yu is just a civil servant.

"That's right, Mr. Ziming, do you have a good plan to defend against the enemy?" Tian Yu followed suit.

"It's not a clever plan, it's nothing more than going all out to keep foreign enemies out of the border.

My lord, Uncle Liu Huang, has given me an order that even if I surrender the land of Youzhou to Yuan Shao, I will block the three tribes in the north. If the situation is critical, my lord will give up the land of Xuzhou, send Xuzhou's army across the sea, and fight to the death with the three tribes in the north. , to protect the safety of the people in Youzhou. Seeing that his goal was achieved, Chen Ziming also expressed his determination to defend against the enemy.

"Uncle Liu Huang Gao Yi, we will fully cooperate with Mr. Ziming's army." Although Chen Ziming said very seriously, Tian Yu, as a wise man, would not believe all of Chen Ziming's words.

Because he knew that once the power of soldiers and horses in Macheng was handed over to Chen Ziming, no matter whether the three northern tribes came or not, the soldiers and horses of Macheng would be quickly broken down and absorbed by Chen Ziming, which was against their original intention of coming to Macheng.

And now there is still a thorn in Tian Yu's heart. He never told anyone else about Chen Ziming's scheme against Gongsun Zan, not even Yan Gang.

Because the general situation is over, Gongsun Zan has been defeated, and Gongsun Zan's family is now under the protection of Liu Bei, Tian Yu decided to let this matter go to his stomach for the safety of Gongsun Xu and others.

What's more, Chen Ziming couldn't be blamed for this matter. If Gongsun Zan hadn't been greedy, such a thing would not have happened.

Besides, Tian Yu's speculation about this matter is nothing more than his own, without any evidence at all.

Moreover, Gongsun Du was also killed by Liu Bei's army, which was regarded as revenge for Gongsun Zan, and this matter ended here.

But with this incident first, Tian Yu didn't trust Chen Ziming very much, he was afraid that Chen Ziming was plotting against him once.

"That's very good, I have recruited tens of thousands of soldiers and horses from all over Youzhou, and now I am stepping up training, and will transfer all of them to the north of Youzhou to prepare for the battle next year.

Macheng is a place of many battles. If my predictions are not bad, Xianbei will definitely attack this place. Our army still needs to defend Wuheng and Goguryeo. There are not enough troops, so I can only trouble you to defend this place. "

Chen Ziming knew that Tian Yu was there, so it was impossible for him to recruit soldiers and horses in Macheng this time, so he could only take the second place.

"Mr. Ziming, don't worry, with us here, we will definitely not let the Xianbei army enter Youzhou." Yan Gang immediately stood up and promised.

"General Gao Yi, Yu admires, but if Xianbei comes, the whole family must be mobilized. Macheng is not a fortress, and there is no foreign aid, I'm afraid..." Chen Ziming's meaning is very clear. Don't live in Macheng.

"Go and kill all of them in battle, and we will defend Macheng, don't worry, Mr. Ziming." Yan Gang believed that Chen Ziming looked down on them, and assured him again with a stern face.

"In this case, Macheng depends on the two. Give me three months. After I defeat Wuheng and Goguryeo, I will definitely lead an army to help." Chen Ziming hoped that Tian Yu and Yan Gang could hold back the Xianbei soldiers Ma San In a month's time, buy time for him to concentrate his troops and eliminate the other two enemy forces.

"Mr. Ziming, we will definitely defend Macheng, but Macheng has been fighting all the year round, the walls are mostly damaged, the city defenses are weak, and there is not enough food and grass.

Can Mr. Ziming look at the affection of my lord Liu Huangshu in the past, and give some reinforcements. "It was Tian Yu who spoke, his voice was not as loud as Chen Ziming's just now, and his face was slightly flushed, like a young daughter-in-law seeing her parents-in-law.

It really takes a lot of courage to say this. To put it bluntly, I want to ask for food and grass to save the emergency.

Yan Gang, who was originally dark-faced, also made up his head, pretending that he didn't hear anything, and his family knew about his family affairs. Now Macheng is indeed very difficult.

"Hahaha, you loyal and brave men shed blood for the people of the great Han people in this bitter cold place, why do you need Mr. Guorang to open your mouth for mere food and grass.

After I go back, I will definitely send someone to bring the things you two need. "

Chen Ziming quickly left Macheng and went all the way south to Huang Zhong's army in Su County.

Although Chen Ziming's trip to Macheng did not reach the intended goal, it was not without gains. At least Tian Yu and the others would hold back the enemy troops all the way for him.

Five days later, a huge transport team arrived in Macheng, and was taken into the city by soldiers and horses in Macheng, where they were treated grandly.

"General Yan, have you ever counted the items that Mr. Ziming sent?" Tian Yu asked Yan Gang who was in charge of receiving the supplies with a smile on his face.

"Sir, the statistics have been calculated, haha, I don't think that Mr. Ziming is so generous, and now the soldiers and horses in the horse city have no worries." Yan Gang with a dark face looked like wearing a flower, extremely brilliant.

"30 stones of grain and grass, 20 sharp arrows, [-] strong bows, [-] swords, [-] long halberds, [-] horses, [-] catapults, and [-] city defense crossbows. Send [-] civilians to repair the city walls of Macheng." Yan Gang came up with the list of receipts in a trembling voice.

"It's very good that there are so many. I was worried that we would not be able to hold Macheng for three months. Now that we have such supplies, we are mere aliens, so why should we be afraid of them?" Tian Yu was also very excited. With this batch of supplies, He is more confident to hold Macheng for three months.

"Chen Ziming is truly a man of righteousness, and what he gives is brand new." Yan Gang's eyes were full of gratitude and admiration.

You know, they have been in Macheng for more than a year, not to mention such brand-new items, there are still many soldiers whose armor is damaged and cannot be replaced.

Bows and arrows have been around for a long time, and many of them can't exert their due power, let alone city defense weapons such as giant crossbows and catapults, which are very expensive heavy weapons.

"It is rumored that Uncle Liu Huang is rich and his armor and weapons are the most tyrannical. Now it seems that this statement is true." Tian Yu had a trace of regret in his eyes, not knowing whether Chen Ziming's quatrains were right or wrong in recruiting Macheng soldiers and horses.
