Chapter 399
"Our army can use the hand of the Son of Heaven to make Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao attack each other." Jia Xu said with confidence, "Whether it is Yuan Shao or Gongsun Zan, they have made a big mistake. One imprisoned the court officials without permission, and the other has no king." I must be worried about killing the emperor's relatives and relatives, and I will be happy if I get an imperial edict."
But Liu Ye snorted: "No, if this is the case, wouldn't it mean that the general and the court turned a blind eye to their imprisonment and killing of the prefect of the state, wouldn't it damage the prestige of the court even more?"
But Jia Xu shook his head: "No, our army doesn't issue an imperial edict, but a secret edict!"
"Secret order?" Liu Ye was thoughtful.
"That's right, it's the secret edict!" Jia Xu talked eloquently: "Our army can send dead soldiers to issue secret edicts to Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan respectively, ordering Yuan Shao to attack Gongsun Zan, and Gongsun Zan to attack Yuan Shao. The two get the secret edict, and the fight will be even more intense. Intense. The two occupy a state each. Even if one side loses temporarily, it will not be defeated quickly in a short period of time. In this way, Hebei will become a battle between the two heroes, and our army can take the opportunity to recuperate and wait for the opportunity. The Guanzhong is stable, and the Guandong melee can become the trend of a strong Qin annexing the world."
The so-called secret edicts are the secret edicts of the emperor issued without the jade seal and not in accordance with the general edicts, such as the clothes and belt edicts issued by Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to Ma Teng, Liu Bei and others. Although they contain the will of the emperor, they are not formal.
"Okay! Please Gongda send two dead men to Yecheng and Beiping respectively, and order Yuan Shao to attack Gongsun Zan in the name of killing the emperor's relatives, and let Gongsun Zan attack Yuan Shao in the name of imprisoning the officials of the frontier without authorization." Liu Ye laughed.
The fight between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan was also a good thing, and there was chaos everywhere. In the future, Liu Ye will lead the army to conquer Hebei, and it will naturally be more justifiable. If the state shepherd guards keep their own place, then Liu Ye will not be able to attack casually.
"I don't know what happened to Junyi and the others," Liu Ye suddenly sighed.
Yu Jin said calmly: "Don't worry, general, Junyi is bold and careful, and he can use military tactics skillfully and flexibly, there will be no problem."
"hope so."
Jiyang.
From Suanzao to the east for more than a hundred li, there is Jiyang. Zhang Jai led two thousand cavalry, wearing yellow scarf uniforms, and Zhou Shen, the captain of the yellow scarf bandit, gave more pointers, so the journey was safe and secure.
"General Zhang, less than 80 miles east of Jiyang, we will enter Jiyin County. Our army has entered the hinterland of Yanzhou, so we must be more careful." Zhou Shen said cautiously.
Zhang Jai nodded, glanced at the soldiers passing by in a hurry behind, and ordered: "Get off the horse and rest, the first song is alert."
After these few days of getting along, Zhou Shen admired Zhang Jai's use of soldiers, so he felt attached to him, and he was very cooperative with Zhang Jai's words.
Two thousand cavalry from Xiliang who were disguised as yellow scarves were relieved when they heard Zhang Jaw's order, and dismounted to rest one after another.
Zhang Jaw chatted casually with Zhou Shen, but his eyes and ears were not idle, and he paid close attention to the surrounding situation.
"Um?"
"General Zhang, what's the matter?" Zhou Shen was taken aback when he saw Zhang Jaw's expression changed.
"Don't move!" Zhang Jaw suddenly knelt on the ground, pressed his ears tightly to the ground, a creaking sound came to the eardrum, and his expression changed immediately.
"There are yellow turban thieves coming, everyone mounts their horses and prepares for battle!"
Zhang Jaw let out a low growl, and the well-trained two thousand cavalry immediately got on their horses, saber in hand, full of energy.
On the other hand, Zhang Jai rode his horse to a mound, looking down from a high position, he could only see about a thousand yellow turban troops in the distance, transporting food and luggage, moving forward slowly. The wheelbarrows pushed by both hands were sweating profusely. It was obvious that the sacks contained heavy grains.
"This batch of grain and grass came from the east and went west. Obviously, it was sent to the direction of Suanzao Xuhe. Maybe we can follow the clues from this batch of grain and grass to find out where the enemy's granary is." Zhang Jaw said coldly.
After finishing speaking, Zhang Jaw said to Zhou Shen: "Someone led two hundred cavalry down to inquire. Later, when you see me fighting the enemy, immediately lead the cavalry to fight out, you understand?"
"Promise!" Zhou Shen clasped his fists and agreed, he was very moved, Liu Cheqi was just asking himself to be a guide, but Zhang Jaw would be willing to appoint him, of course he had to repay this trust.
However, Zhou Shen didn't know that Zhang Jai had already made two-handed preparations. If Zhou Shen rebelled and made trouble, then the soldiers ambushing among the thousand or so cavalry would naturally kill Zhou Shen on the spot.
Zhang Jai led 200 cavalry, and rushed out condescendingly, the smoke and dust billowed, the yellow turban bandit troop was surprised when they saw it, and stopped.
"Don't panic, it's a friendly army!"
The yellow turban bandits escorted Xiaoshuai to see the two hundred riders wearing yellow turbans, and he calmed down a little. The supply troops calmed down after hearing the commander's order, and the sweaty yellow scarf soldiers took the opportunity to put down their wheelbarrows and wipe the sweat off their faces.
Zhang Jace stepped forward and shouted: "This is He Zhang. It is Xu Shuai's newly built cavalry unit to deal with the Xiliang cavalry of the Han army. Where is the grain transport officer?"
"The villain is here."
Cen Yu, the grain transport officer, hurried forward, bowed his knees and said: "The villain is the grain transport officer, may I ask why Xu Shuai sent He Shuai here?"
Zhang Jaw said coldly: "Xu Shuai led an army of more than 100,000 to besiege Suanzao for many days, and consumed countless food and grass. Now the army is short of food, Xu Shuai is furious, and specially ordered this commander to come and urge you."
Cen Yu's face was covered with cold sweat: "The villain is terrified, delaying food and grass, capital crime, capital crime!"
Zhang Jai snorted: "Okay, this batch of food and grass has been taken over by the general."
Cen Yu said respectfully: "Although it's offensive, but if you dare to ask He Shuai, do you have evidence of Xu Shuai's artifacts?"
Zhang Jaw frowned, and thought to himself: This guy seems to be submissive, but unexpectedly he is quite disciplined, then
"You are a little grain transport officer, why are you so troubled?" Zhang Jai pretended to be angry and said, "You are a general under Xu Shuai's command. What kind of thing are you?"
"The villain doesn't dare to offend He Shuai, but it's better to be cautious, and He Shuai is invited." Cen Yu lowered his head.
Zhang Jai snorted helplessly: "Forget it, come here and let me show you."
Cen Yu was overjoyed: "Thank you, Shuai He." After finishing speaking, Cen Yu leaned his head forward, and the corners of his open lips curled up.
"Look at it!" Zhang Jai grasped the handle of the knife with five fingers, and pulled it out suddenly. The sharp edge of the ring knife drew an arc, and swept across Cen Yu's neck.
Cen Yu's expression froze instantly, a line of blood flowed from his neck, and his body was separated. Seeing that Cen Yu was suddenly killed, the Yellow Turban Rebels' supply troops were at a loss and fell into chaos.
"General Annan of the Han Dynasty is here with his jaw open, why don't the Yellow Turban bandits come down sooner!"
A loud shout resounded throughout the surrounding area.
