Chapter 384 (1/2)
Hulao pass.
”General, according to intelligence, Xu he has captured Puyang and mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops to gather in the West. Moreover, he has sent Sima Ji, the number one general under his command, as the vanguard, and has captured jujube a few days ago.” Jia Xu said.
Liu Ye asked, ”Sima is afraid? How many soldiers and horses did he take with him when he took advantage of sour jujube
”About forty or fifty thousand.”
Liu Ye smiles: ”a vanguard has used 50000 troops. Xu he is really rich.”
Jia Xu said: ”although the number of hundreds of thousands of troops is large, the speed of mobilization is extremely slow. Since Sima fear has already taken advantage of sour jujube, our army might as well gather troops and horses, eliminate Sima fear first, and give Xu and yellow turban bandits a power.”
Liu Ye nodded and his eyes were sharp: ”yes, there are many yellow turban thieves. Now there are 50000 people. When the enemy forces gather together, it will be more difficult to defeat them.”
”General can order General Ma Chao...” Jia Xu's voice dropped.
Liu Ye's eyes brightened: ”OK, that's it!”
Sour jujube is a small city, but its geographical location is very important. It is located at the junction of Shili Xiaowei department and Yanzhou. When the princes gathered to attack Dong Zhuo, soldiers and horses set up camp in suanzao.
Sima was afraid of the 10th day of July, when he had just captured the jujube, he immediately ordered the army to burn, kill and plunder. Ding Zhuang's men wrapped up the thieves and seized the gold and silver in their hands.
”Sima Shuai, the Han Army in the direction of Hulao pass will go out and develop to our army.”
Hearing the report of the Scouts under the tent, Sima Wei immediately stood up.
”Good! I don't want to go to Liu Ye's trouble, but Liu Ye has sent him to the door by himself Sima was ambitious: ”in this case, order the whole army to attack and defeat Liu Ye at one go, so that Xu Shuai can save his strength!”
”Sima Shuai, no!”
The aides under the tent hastily dissuaded him: ”Xu Shuai once told Sima Shuai not to attack rashly. When Xu Shuai arrived, he would send troops together. In case of any accident, how could Sima Shuai explain to Xu Shuai?”
”Well? I'm going to have an accident? ” Sima is afraid of two eyes one pedal, dissatisfied way.
With a bitter face on his face, his staff quickly waved his hand: ”no, it's not that Sima Shuai will make mistakes, but that Xu Shuai has an account. Sima Shuai, you can listen to my advice and stick to the jujube.”
Sima was afraid to hum a voice: ”just, listen to you today, some in sour jujube waiting for you.”
The Han Army marched very fast and arrived outside the city of sour jujube at noon the next day.
Sima was standing on the top of the city. He could see that the number of Han troops outside the city was about 20000, and a flag with the character of Liu was flying in the wind.
”Sima is afraid! Don't you dare to come down and fight our army to death? ”
”Ha ha, how dare he? He's a tortoise, he's a coward. ”
”That is to say, Sima Wei was frightened to hear the name of Liu Che, and his whole body trembled with tears.”
Liu Ye specially selected dozens of loud voice soldiers, shouting and scolding under the sour jujube city. Sima was very angry when he heard it.
Sima's fists clenched tightly, and the blue veins on his forehead burst out one by one, and his neck was flushed.
”This hateful Liu Ye should have underestimated me so much. How can I bear it?”
One side of the staff rushed forward and grabbed Sima fear: ”Sima Shuai, no way! Xu Shuai explained something before he left...
