Chapter 31 The annexation of two counties

Liu Yu looked at Guo Jia and asked, "Fengxiao, the first step is to annex Weixing and Xincheng counties. So when should Fengxiao send troops?"

Guo Jia said: "The faster the better, it is better to send troops within three days."

"Fourth brother, why is this?" Zhao Yun said in confusion. He only thought that he would be too hurrying within three days.

Guo Jia shook his head and said, "Although I'm rushing, the time for the troops will not be long. There is no need to dispatch too much food, grass and weapons. Just a large army will launch a surprise attack."

Guo Jia continued: "The three brothers chased Dong Zhuo and robbed more than 100,000 people in Luoyang, which was more than Shangyong County. It was more than Shangyong County. It was difficult to resettle the land of Shangyong County. Although there were seized food and grass and grass accumulated by Shangyong, the daily consumption was huge. Only by quickly obtaining two counties can we properly resettle the more than 100,000 people. If we delayed for one day, we would consume no more than 50,000 troops in one day."

Liu Yu, Guan Yu, and Zhao Yun all nodded, agreeing that ordinary people, both men, women, young and old, can't eat so much with strong soldiers who are trained every day, and they can't let them eat every meal, but the three people almost consume the food and grass needed by one soldier. 140,000 to 150,000 people, wouldn't they consume the food and grass for about 50,000 troops a day?

Liu Yu asked: "What is Fengxiao's strategy to quickly win the two counties?"

Guo Jia said: "Wei Xing, the prefects of the two counties of Xincheng are just people who are not talented or intelligent, and are greedy for pleasure. Each of them has less than 10,000 soldiers and horses. The prefects of the two counties must have expected that we would raid the two counties, so they must be unprepared. Several people who dared to die can be selected. Taking advantage of the daytime when the gates of the two counties are not closed, each of them blocked the gate with a carriage and did not close the gate. Then, three hundred cavalry quickly rushed towards the gate and controlled the gate. Then the main force of the infantry entered the city, and the general situation was set!"

"Good plan!" Zhao Yun said.

Liu Yu and Guan Yu also nodded in agreement.

Liu Yu asked again: "What excuse should we use?"

Although the princes have begun to compete for the world today, they usually have to find a reasonable excuse to raise troops. It is best to take the right reason and the other party is in the wrong. In this way, the morale of the soldiers on their own will definitely be stronger when they take the right to take the right to take the right to the right, and the other party will lose the right to hurt the morale of the other party. After the victory, the soldiers captured and the people in the occupied land will not resist randomly.

Therefore, the word "reason" is very important and is the commanding height of morality.

Guo Jia said: "It's also very simple. When Dong Zhuo deposed the emperor, he issued an edict to inform the counties, Wei Xing and Xincheng prefects never scolded Dong Zhuo for being treacherous and slandered. He also received Dong Zhuo's edict, which must be the ones who were with Dong Zhuo. Now that Dong Zhuo has been defeated and fled to Guanzhong, he should clean up these people who were with Dong Zhuo."

Guan Yu said in confusion: "How did the fourth brother know that Wei Xing and the prefects of Xincheng County did not scold Dong Zhuo for being treacherous and slandered, and even received the edict of Dong Zhuo to abolish the emperor?"

Guo Jia smiled mysteriously and said, "Jia doesn't know, nor has she seen it with her own eyes, but the prefects of the two counties have never sent troops to participate in the attack on Dong. It can be said that they are, and they have a hard time defying it. In our favor, the best reason is."

Liu Yu's face twitched slightly. Guo Jia once said that he was shameless. In fact, he was also so shameless. But he liked it. What is important is the word "ghost". If you don't have a little shamelessness, how is it called "ghost"?

Guan Yu and Zhao Yun looked at each other and didn't expect anything shameless. In their opinion, the prefects of Wei Xing and Xincheng may not have been pleased and surrendered to Dong Zhuo. Besides, the two counties were next to Shangyong. They had long known that the prefects of the two counties were originally corrupt officials and were not good things, so they were not considered slandering them.

"The reason for the fourth brother is very good." Zhao Yun accepted the most honest person.

Liu Yu stood up and decided, "In this way, then act according to the plan."

"Chief Yun, you lead 8,000 infantrymen and 500 cavalry to attack Weixing County. Zilong, you also lead 8,000 infantry to attack Xincheng County. Be sure to take down two counties on the same day, so that no county can get news in advance and be prepared for it." Liu Yu ordered.

"Yunchang, Zilong, obey the order!"

The next day, a total of 17,000 troops were dispatched, divided into two groups, with cavalry leading, and infantry following closely behind, rushing to Weixing at the fastest speed. As long as the county governor was taken down and the prefect was killed, the other county governors would naturally surrender.

According to Guo Jia's plan, before the army arrived, several death-deathed people were sent to pretend to be ordinary people and block the city gate with carriages.

Three hundred cavalry rushed out from the closest hidden place to the city gate and took the city gate straight.

"Kill!" After the Xincheng County Gate successfully blocked the city gate, Zhao Yun personally led 300 cavalrymen to rush towards the city gate.

The soldiers of Xincheng County had never participated in any major battles and had poor psychological quality. Three hundred cavalry suddenly rushed towards the city gate. None of the soldiers of Xincheng County could react. Not to mention the emergency closing of the city gate, even if there was no arrow on the city wall, it was timely shot down to stop it.

Without arrows, Zhao Yun and three hundred cavalrymen rushed to the city gate after only ten breaths, killing the soldiers of Xinchengjun at the city gate, firmly controlling the city gate.

"Kill!" The eight thousand infantrymen soon came out and rushed into the city from the already controlled city gate.

This scene was also staged in the Weixing County Governor.

After Guan Yu controlled the city gate and entered the city, he took the lead and rushed straight to the prefect's mansion. Along the way, all the soldiers of Weixing County who dared to intercept him were defeated by him and did not play much role in interception.

Guan Yu quickly arrived at the prefect's mansion.

"What? Shangyong Army raided our Weixing County. The leader was the one who killed Hua Xiong and famous all over the world. Guan Yunchang, and has already entered the city?"

"Yes, Lord Prefect."

"It's over, the general of Weixing County has changed his lord!" The prefect of Weixing County suddenly heard that Shangyong County had raided and entered the city. The one who led the troops was Guan Yu who killed Hua Xiong at Sishui Pass. He was so scared that he couldn't stand resisting. He swept some gold and silver, and took several families to urinate and directly abandoned the city and escaped from the Weixing County.

"Prefect Wei Xing, where are you running?" He was intercepted and captured by a team of Shangyong cavalry without escaping from the city.

On the Xicheng County side, the prefect of Xincheng County wanted to resist and drove Zhao Yun and other Shangyong Army out of Xincheng County. Unfortunately, the soldiers of Xincheng County were not much stronger than the rabble people. They had never experienced any major wars, so they could not compare with the Shangyong Army, which was well-trained after many battles. Besides, Zhao Yun, a powerful general who was second only to Lu Bu in the world.

The two or three thousand troops gathered in a hurry were defeated in an instant. The prefect of Xincheng County himself was also killed by Zhao Yun on the spot. The soldiers of Xincheng County were left without a leader and could not have the courage to continue to resist, so they all surrendered soon.

After conquering the two counties and counties, Guan Yu and Zhao Yun immediately divided their troops to control other counties under the two counties. In less than three days, the total number of troops was no more than 2,000. Wei Xing and Xincheng counties were all controlled by the Shangyong Army.

Liu Yu's territory also expanded from one county, one county, six cities to three counties in an instant, with a total of twenty cities, and his power expanded more than twice, which surprised the whole world.
