Chapter 144 (1/2)
Bian Zhang and Han Sui stepped into the room, and Beigong Boyu was very happy.
”Do you understand, gentlemen?”
Han then coughed, and the border chapter arched his hand and said, ”the general will respect me. I'm willing to work hard for both of us.”
Beigong Boyu laughed: ”two gentlemen, please take your seat. I have an important matter to ask you.”
When they were seated, Beigong Boyu couldn't wait to point to a map on the table, and said, ”some ten thousand hooligans came from Zhangye County, but Zuo Chang, the governor of Liangzhou, sent gaixun to garrison in Ayang county. Although some of the Huqi under his command was brave, they were not good at tackling difficulties. Can you have a good plan?”
Bian Zhang takes a look at Han Sui and nods slightly when he sees Han Sui. He looks north at Gong Boyu.
”Gaixun is a senior general in the army. He can't go down in a hurry. Why not attack Jincheng?”
”Jincheng?” was chanted in the mouth of Beigong Boyu
The border chapter stood up and said with a smile, ”Chen Yi, the governor of Jincheng County, has the talent to pacify the people, but has no strategy for governing the army. The army will be able to break it if it keeps forging ahead.”
”If you get Jincheng County, Wuwei County can be controlled in the East, and Xiping County can be entered in the West. With the power of horseback riding, you can arrive in two days.”
Beigong Boyu sighed: ”ah, Yuncheng is worthy of being a famous scholar in Liangzhou. I can't think of such a reason.”
”Order! The army will drive directly to Jincheng
At the command of Beigong Boyu, more than ten thousand Huqi left the county immediately. All the way to the south, all of them could ride 800 Li in one day, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
”Captain, are you out of town to investigate?”
Gai Xun slightly waved his hand: ”our army has few soldiers. If we divide our troops to attack, it will inevitably be called by Beigong Boyu. Guarding Ayang county is our army's biggest task.”
In fact, although there are tens of thousands of Huqi, each city in Liangzhou can be guarded by only a few hundred troops and horses. Since ancient times, no one has ever heard of using cavalry to attack a city. Even if it is an unparalleled Mongolian iron horse, it is impossible to attack the city on horseback.
Although Zuo Chang, the governor of Liangzhou, had no talent to help the world, he was also knowledgeable enough to be a prefect governor. He did not take the initiative to send troops to fight against the rebellion. Instead, he ordered the prefects to guard the city and wait for the imperial court's reinforcements.
Jincheng County Office, Yunwu city.
”Here comes the horseback. Let's get into the city.”
”Don't close the city gate. We are all han'er, not Hu people.”
Outside Yunwu City, groups of Han people came to the city, supporting the old and the young, bringing their families with them. For a moment, there were a large number of people. But a dozen miles away, we could see the smoke and dust everywhere. It was the smoke and dust splashed by the hoofs of horses.
A military officer with a sword in his armor looked anxious: ”prefect! Order to close the city gate quickly, or once Hu Qi arrives, Yunwu city will be lost! ”
”No, there are still tens of thousands of people outside the city who have not yet entered the city. How can a man who has been ordered by the son of heaven to herd and guard Jincheng be killed by Hu Qi?”
He was wearing a long robe and big sleeves, his thin face was wrinkled, and he shook his head slowly. It was Chen Yi, the prefect of Jincheng county.
The military officer sighed, and then said, ”prefect, keep the land and secure the people. If the city of Yunwu is lost, how can the governor pacify the people?”
Chen Yi looked firm and turned to look at the military officer: ”there are so many people that I can't bear to give up.”
The military officer sighed: ”go down and urge the troops to prepare for the enemy!”
Because Chen Yi couldn't bear to give up the people outside the city, more than ten thousand horsemen ran closer and closer. The outline of Yunwu city had appeared in front of her, and she was excited.
