Chapter 529 More than ten arsenals were bombed (two chapters in one)
After Yuan Shao took over Xuzhou, he headed south and obtained several more cities. It can be said that he was unstoppable and unstoppable.
Since the victory, Qingcang has been repairing the city walls and organizing internal affairs, and is committed to developing internal combustion engines and oil extraction, and has also provided army protection for railways along the route.
On this day, Yuan Shao sent a letter to him. Guo Jia took the letter and watched it.
After reading it, Guo Jia said, "The letter mentioned in Yuan Shao that Zhang Yan, the Heishan Army, and Yang Feng and other generals, wanted to attack Xuzhou, and they might pass within a hundred miles of Huaxia City. He begged us to intercept them, and he wanted to go south again to take away the city occupied by Cao's army. I think Yuan Shao's ambition is quite small!"
This is a retelling and a small opinion raised by Guo Jia from Yuan Shao’s letter.
When Qing Cang heard this, he thought that Cao Cao did not send troops, but sent Zhang Yan, who was recruiting, to attack Yuan Shao, would definitely be fine. Every expedition is extremely harmful to money. Once the economy cannot keep up, the exhibition may be greatly restricted. Or there are other reasons that Cao Cao had to ask Zhang Yan to help him. All this is unknown.
Xun Yu said: "Even the Heishan Army has come out to join the battle, which means that Yuan Shao is powerful now. Should we take the opportunity to suppress him? Don't let him be too powerful, so when the Heishan Army passes by my Huaxia City, I suggest that we should just live in disobedience and not let him go too far. It is not a good thing for us. Should we let Yuan Shao slow down?"
Xun Yu meant to let Yuan Shao stop, and Yuan Shao also took over several cities. He was the biggest beneficiary. There was no reason to let the Chinese army resist the Black Mountain Army for him, and he was expanding his territory and showing himself! Qing Cang also nodded to agree with his opinion because he made a lot of sense. But how to do it in fact? He has not considered it well, and perhaps he still has to listen to the opinions of the two.
Guo Jia had a different view. "With the strength of Huaxia City, it is very difficult for the Black Mountain Army to bypass Huaxia City. If we turn a blind eye like this, will Yuan Shao believe it?"
He was right. If Huaxia City didn't help him, Yuan Shao would definitely have some ideas about Huaxia City. He probably also wanted to use this trip to test the attitude of Huaxia City. Otherwise, Yuan Shao would definitely defeat him by a Black Mountain Army.
Xun Yu responded: "At this time, interests are the best. He doesn't believe in us, do he believe in Cao Cao?"
"It's hard to say that Yuan Shao is a man who does big things and cherishes his life, and forgets his life when he sees small profits."
There is no eternal enemy, only eternal interests. In the face of interests, all enemies may fight side by side with you, which is so cruel.
Guo Jia revealed Yuan Shao's personality traits. Although he was victorious now, what happened? If Cao Cao gave him some sweetness, he would have been likely to obey, just like Cao Cao appointed him as a general and gave him the right to manage four states. He also accepted it at that time? If Qing Cang hadn't provoked it, Yuan Shao would have probably been attacking Gongsun Zan at this time. This is recorded in historical facts.
Guo Jia and Xun Yu are rarely unifying their opinions, and they all have their reasons for what they say. It depends on how Qing Cang decides to make a decision.
Qing Cang thought for a while and said, "The two staff members have made sense, but I want to say it here. Zhang Yan, the Black Mountain Army, disturbed me from Huaxia City many times. This was a matter many years ago. I think this matter should be taught a lesson to the Black Mountain Army."
No matter what Yuan Shao thought, Qing Cang would teach the Heishan Army a lesson. This is the grudge between them and the Heishan Army. Now that the Southern Xiongnu have been pacified, there are still Heishan Army and Cao Cao to join forces. If the Heishan Army can be killed, it will be possible to abandon an enemy for the future development of the Chinese army.
Guo Jia then asked, "Commander, what do you mean is to send troops to intercept the Black Mountain Army and defeat it?"
Qing Cang replied, "No!"
This made the two major advisers a little puzzled. Qing Cang said he wanted to take revenge, but he did not intercept the Black Mountain Army. They didn't understand what Qing Cang wanted to do. What did they not guess what Qing Cang mean?
Qing Cang smiled, but he did not explain why he didn't intercept the Black Mountain Army.
"I heard that the Heishan Army was stationed in Yecheng. Since the Heishan Army surrendered to Cao Cao, Cao Cao did not reorganize the Heishan Army. Most of them were still mainly bandits. Cao Cao asked Zhang Yan to station in Yecheng, and now he has become the force of Cao Cao and Arm Support."
Linzhang was called "Ye" in ancient times. It has a long history and splendid culture. It enjoys the reputation of "the ancient land of the Three Kingdoms and the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties". Yecheng has successively become the capital of Cao Wei, Later Zhao, Ran Wei, Former Yan, Eastern Wei, and Northern Qi Six Dynasties. It has lived in the political, economic, military and cultural center of the Yellow River Basin for four centuries.
Guo Jia nodded and said:
"It is true that the base of the Heishan Army is within Yecheng. Yecheng is about 600 miles away from Xudu, and it is called the North Gate by Cao Cao, which can be called Cao Cao's granary."
Yecheng is under the jurisdiction of Cao Cao. There are a large number of plains, which are very suitable for agricultural exhibitions. Cao Cao claims to have a million troops, and the grain consumed by the army every day can be said to be a huge amount of food. He is willing to take this place under the Black Mountain Army Zhang Yan, which proves that he trusts Zhang Yan very much.
"What is the military most lacking?"
The two responded: "Food."
Guo Jia also said: "The so-called "before the troops move, food and grass will come first, and the food status is very important."
"Staff Officer Guo is right, because the location here is very important, so I will cut off his granary. What would happen if we attack Yecheng now?"
Xun Yu responded: "We will inevitably be homeless and wandering?" "That's right. The worst thing about the army is food. In fact, Zhang Yan fought 20,000 people, and the food supply would be huge. If we can take down Yecheng, we will collect all the food in the city, and defend Yecheng. Give Zhang Yan a surprise, I think he will definitely go. Cao Cao will have no help!"
Now the two finally understood what Qing Cang thought. His idea was even more thorough. If he directly defeated Zhang Yan of the Black Mountain Army, then when he returned to Yecheng, his power was still there. What if he destroyed his base? Then things would become different. You must know that the Yecheng he had worked hard to manage must have a lot of energy. If he occupied another city again, his vitality would be greatly damaged.
The two major staff members expressed their understanding. Xun Yu said: "Commander! It's true that we are good at making plans, we haven't thought of it yet."
Qing Cang smiled and said, "If you have no objection, go there."
"Everything is done as the commander said, I and Staff Guo agree."
"Yeah! Come!"
"exist!"
"Let Li Dian, Zhou Cang and Xu Chu come in to see me!"
"yes!"
Qing Cang was thinking about Zhou Cang and Xu Chu. These two men were depressed after the last failure. Therefore, Qing Cang wanted to give them another chance to occupy a Yecheng without a great general.
As for why Li Dian came, because Li Dian was both civil and military, with his carrying, Zhou Cang and Xu Chu would definitely be able to complete the task.
The three of them quickly arrived in the main city. After saluting a military salute, Qin Chang said, "Li Dian, you, Zhou Cang and Xu Chu, bring 10,000 troops and horses. 2ooo cannons to Yecheng, capture them, and defend Yecheng. I want you to defend them for more than one night. If you encounter a strong enemy, you will abandon the city and go out and do not fight in love."
Li Dian said: "Yes, Commander,"
Zhou Cang and Xu Chu were naturally overjoyed, especially Xu Chu quickly responded: "Commander, is this true?"
Since entering the military camp, Xu Chu has never had a real victory. He can win in the battle with Cheng Yu, but he failed again because of Cheng Yu's escape. This time, they must seize the opportunity. That's why they asked this question.
"It's true. Make good contributions. Huaxia City needs your contribution."
"Yes! Commander, we will definitely complete the mission."
Xu Chu’s experience is not very good. No one has experience from the beginning. He needs to be tempered to succeed.
Zhou Cang also said: "Commander, we will definitely do a good job."
"Okay, go and wish you a victory!"
"Thank you, Commander, we'll leave first!"
Finally, Qing Cang said, "You take Li Dian as yours and follow his arrangements. If you don't know how to ask!"
After saying that, Li Dian took the two of them out and led the troops away.
The three of them met Zhao Zilong as soon as they left the door, and they saluted and left.
Zhao Zilong usually didn't call him. He rarely came to the meeting hall because there were so many things on hand, but now he came, which means that there must be something to look for Qing Cang. So Qing Cang asked, "Captain Zhao, what's the matter with me?"
Zhao Zilong said, "There are certainly two good news."
When Qing Cang heard this, he was excited and had two good news. So he asked, "Where is the good news?"
"Commander, didn't we send a Chinese team some time ago?"
"There is indeed something. They are going to bomb Cao Cao's arsenal."
Qing Cang remembered that there was indeed someone who went there that day, so the news about Zhao Zilong must be related to this.
"Yes, I received the latest telegram, saying: Our Chinese team has arrived in Luoyang City safely and has appeared in the factory behind Cao Cao. The gunpowder they carried has exploded more than ten factories behind."
When Guo Jia heard this, he exclaimed:
"This is really great news!"
The same is true for Xun Yu. "Then, Cao Cao's strength will be weakened! That's great, this news is really exciting!"
When Qing Cang heard this, he was excited. This was good news. Once the supply of Cao's army arsenal was cut off, it would be an extremely bad thing for them. War requires a lot of weapons, and the arsenal is the base for supplying weapons. Now that there are not even a dozen arsenals, the output of weapons will inevitably plummet, which is extremely unfavorable for Cao Cao.
Or everyone may ask why Zhao Zilong came to report about the Chinese team, not Yang Xiaomei. Because, whether it is the Chinese team or the Flying Eagle team, the direct supreme boss of these teams is Zhao Zilong. The target they are reporting to is Zhao Zilong, not Yang Xiaomei. It can be said that each performs his or her own direct leadership.
Qing Cang said: "Okay! It's good news. How about the casualties of that Chinese team?"
The 1oo-man team went to blow up the Cao army's military factory in Luoyang. There will definitely be losses. After all, the 1oo-man team may face tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of Cao army garrisons.
When Qing Cang asked this, Zhao Zilong responded: "We have sold 50 people."
The number of 5o people will cost half of the melee team. The price of 5o people will be exchanged for the destruction of the arsenal. This price is worth paying. Anyone who does a mission will have sacrifices, only big or small.
"Haosheng arranged 50 families."
In fact, if Qing Cang doesn’t need to say it, Zhao Zilong will do it.
"Don't worry, Commander, I've dealt with this long ago!"
Qing Cang said again: "Very good! What is the second thing?"
Zhao Zilong said: "When I ordered the Chinese team to return, I saw Cheng Yu heading to Tongguan at this time. At this time, he was fifty miles away from Tongguan. Commander, please see if Cheng Yu was killed?"
With a total of 50 people, it was quite difficult to force nearly 100,000 troops. Zhao Zilong came to ask Qing Cang for his intention. Qing Cang murmured, "It's all at Tongguan." Cheng Yu really ran very fast."
"There are only 50 people left in the team, so let them return. I think Cheng Yu can't make any big waves."
"Abide by the commander, I'll make arrangements now."
"etc!"
"Commander, what's the matter?"
"When they return, don't forget to set up a welcome ceremony for them. Thank you for your hard work, it can be said that you have removed a huge hidden danger for Huaxia City. Well, there must be a reward. Don't let the hearts of the soldiers be cool!"
"I understand, I'll do it now."
From now on, some complex tasks can be completely handed over to these teams to handle. The facts prove that they did a good job. However, the enemies they faced are very powerful enemies. Every time they go out, they will lose nearly half of their team members, which is a huge loss. However, for the sake of the entire Huaxia City and the people of the entire Huaxia City, they must do this.
After Zhao Zilong went down, Guo Jia said at this time: "I think the Black Mountain Army. It is probably because Cao's army was influenced by our Chinese team and destroyed all his military factories, which made him short of weapons. Their people dared not come out and could only stay in Xuchang, for fear that we would go to the siege, so they had to guard against him. Before, he sent 30,000 troops including Cheng Yu, and I guess the weapons in the army were already extremely scarce. Let the Black Mountain Army come to attack Yuan Shao on their behalf."
Xun Yu said. "I think we will take over the old nest of the Black Mountain Army this time and be able to collect a large amount of supplies for us. The farmland policy pursued by Cao Cao may be hit by some blow."
Cao Cao had implemented some policies that were beneficial to farming before. If Yecheng was the one that was owned by China, it would not be a good thing for them.
Qing Cang did this, which may directly cause Cao Cao's food and grass to be short of food and grass, and it will stagnate for a while. Every time they stagnate for a period of time, it is good news for Huaxia City.
Guo Jia said: "It's best if they can't hold on. When our Chinese army heads to Xudu, that's when Cao Cao surrenders."
Qing Cang said: "It's almost done. When our internal combustion engine is 10% complete, it will be the time for the whole world to be unified."
And murmured that this day is probably not far away.
Chapter completed!
