Zhao Yun led 10,000 troops and left the city at night. Not long after leaving Zhuoxian, he suddenly turned around, bypassed Zhuoxian, and headed south quickly.
Along the way, they stayed up day and night, marching rapidly without stopping.
A few days later, on the road again at night, Zhao Yun rode his horse and looked back at Huangfu Jianchang, who was still staring at the map, and said, "Second Young Master, is this strategy feasible?"
Huangfu Jian stared at the map, chuckled, and said, "Haven't you heard of my glorious deeds? They are now gathering an army to besiege various cities in Jizhou. It is a good time for us to dig out their lair!"
In the darkness, Zhao Yun looked solemn.
Since he joined the army, he has mainly fought with Gongsun Zan.
Although Gongsun Zan also paid attention to tactics, most of them were frontal battles, and he would not leave the frontal battlefield alone and sneak attack on other people's homes.
Zhao Yun is naturally not pedantic, nor does he think there is anything wrong with doing so, but is worried about the war in Jizhou.
He glanced at the dark front, then turned around and said, "Second Young Master, those thieves are besieging Julu, do we really not care?"
In Bailuo, Suigu claims to have an army of 150,000 men and is besieging Julu. Zhang Liao only has 15,000 men and may fall at any time.
When Huangfu Jianchang heard this, he raised his head and came to him on horseback. He looked frivolous and said, "Don't worry. It's only two to thirty thousand at most. Julu City has a high wall and is thick, so it won't be that easy to break. As long as we If it succeeds, those people will definitely be flustered and withdrawal of troops will be inevitable."
Zhao Yun thought about it carefully, nodded and said: "Let's speed up the march!"
Although Huangfu Jianchang was used to riding horses, he still felt bleeding and burning pain in his buttocks for so many days.
But there was no leakage on his face, and he said: "Okay."
Seeing that he agreed, Zhao Yun ordered the troops to march quickly, not daring to delay for a moment.
Perhaps the Black Mountain Army concentrated on attacking the city, but Zhao Yun had no encounters along the way. After leaving the boundaries of Zhao State, he no longer had any scruples and hurried on in broad daylight.
Along the way, Zhao Yun sent out troops wantonly and encountered banditry on the mountaintops, which he easily wiped out.
At the end of September, Zhao Yun's 10,000 troops appeared in Cangyan Valley in Luchang Mountain.
Zhao Yun stood next to a hidden big tree, looking at the steep mountain forest, the densely packed villages, and the looming patrolling gangsters. He whispered to Huangfu Jianchang beside him: "Second Young Master, this place is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It’s better to set it on fire at night!”
Huangfu Jianchang was startled, shook his head repeatedly, looked at him and said seriously: "Didn't you already hear that His Majesty has a prince? As close ministers, we shouldn't give gifts? This is Yu Du's lair, and the business is like this There must have been tons of good stuff over the years!”
Zhao Yun looked unhappy and said: "Why would your majesty like the gangsters' things? What we want to do is to destroy this place, force Yu Du to withdraw his troops, and disrupt the morale of the rebel army!"
When Huangfu Jian saw Zhao Yun's stubborn temper, he rolled his eyes and said, "Even if I don't give you any gifts, as a minister, shouldn't I share your majesty's worries? You are also a close minister of his majesty. You must know that your majesty is worried about money and food." Right? I don’t know how much food there is in this valley. How can you explain it to His Majesty when you just set it on fire?"
Zhao Yun didn't listen to what Huangfu Jianchang was saying at all, and said directly: "What are you going to do?"
Huangfu Jianchang said quickly: "Everyone who is simple and able to move has been taken away by Yu Du. At most, there are only a few old and weak women and children left in this village, and there will be no more than 3,000 people. You use your shield in front, and the archers Cover, fight quickly!"
Zhao Yun didn't care about these tactics. He suddenly looked suspicious, stared at Huangfu Jian and said, "Three thousand people? How do you know?"
He remembered that along the way, Huangfu Jian was mysterious and often disappeared, and the way he took him away was very smooth, as if he was predicting the future.
Huangfu Jian long touched his chin and said: "Hurry up, I'm worried that someone has the same idea as me, and I can't let anyone get there first."
Seeing that he refused to say anything, Zhao Yun didn't ask any more questions, turned around and walked back, starting to mobilize his soldiers.
There are only 3,000 old, weak, women and children in the village. No matter how easy it is to defend and difficult to attack, it cannot withstand the attack of 10,000 troops!
Thirty shields were in front and archers were behind. They hid first, and when they could no longer hide, they strode towards the stronghold.
"There's a thief!"
The people in the village soon discovered it, and they didn't think it was an official soldier, they just regarded it as a 'fellow colleague', and they started to drink loudly.
There were not many people in the village, and they kept gathering in front of the village. The archers fired sparsely, and the arrows landed on the shields, but no one was hurt.
The shield soldiers resisted with all their strength and kept advancing. When they reached a suitable position, the hidden archers suddenly appeared and shot at the stockade.
"Officers!"
"It's the army!"
The Black Mountain troops in the village screamed in fear and fired arrows more violently.
Since the Yudu uprising, we have occupied this place for five or six years, and this is the first time that the government troops have attacked!
The people who stayed in the stockade never thought that the government troops would arrive. They were frightened for a while, running around and shouting.
Under the cover of the shield soldiers, the archers kept shooting. Arrows fell into the village like rain, and various screams continued.
"kill!"
Seeing the chaos in Laohuzhai, Zhao Yun did not hesitate and gave the order again.
Under the suppression of shields and archers, Zhao Yun's soldiers and horses began to charge towards the mountain stronghold.
The more than 3,000 old, weak, sick and disabled people left behind were unable to resist. In less than half an hour, Zhao Yun led his men to kill them.
The stockade was very large, but the guards were quite lax. Under Zhao Yun's attack, it was all in pieces, leaving no resistance.
Huangfu Jianchang led another group of people, like arrows, straight to the granary of Tiger Village.
There are slightly more guards here, but they are only a hundred young men, not enough for Huangfu Jian to charge and kill them.
"Don't let them light the fire!"
When Huangfu Jian saw someone holding a torch to burn down the warehouse, he immediately shouted.
The officers and soldiers naturally knew the purpose of their visit. The archers fired in unison, killing those who tried to burn the warehouse to death in front of the door.
Huangfu Jianchang was overjoyed when he saw the warehouse door right in front of him. He commanded the people to control the situation and rushed over, one person at the lead.
Although it was an iron door, there were no more settings. Huangfu Jianchang opened the door and walked in.
What comes into view are large boxes, and then there are large cylindrical warehouses that tower into the clouds.
"Captain, I'm afraid it's more than 100,000 stones, right?" A military lord from the Imperial City Mansion looked on and said in surprise.
It is simply unimaginable that a small Tiger Village has so many reserves!
Huangfu Jian long touched these round warehouses, his eyes were excited, and then he quickly lifted up the big boxes, and a dazzling light flashed.
These big boxes are full of precious things such as gold, silver, and jewelry. There are also hundreds of boxes of cash. A rough estimate would be tens of millions at least!
"Move away, move them all away!"
Huangfu Jianchang's face was full of excitement, like a cat seeing fishy fish, and he kept giving orders.
This is not the first time that the captain of the Imperial City Mansion has done this, and he operates it very skillfully.
On the other side, Zhao Yun is still clearing out the Tiger Village, which is very large and can accommodate tens of thousands of people.
It wasn't until night that Zhao Yun took complete control and counted the results.
Huangfu Jianzhang had already transported everything he could carry down the mountain, came to Zhao Yun's side, pulled him over, and whispered: "Burn him with fire, hurry up and leave."
Zhao Yun frowned and said, "Isn't it the same as poison returning to the master and ambushing him halfway?"
"Why ambush him? As long as he withdraws his troops, Zhang Wenyuan and Zhang Wenyuan will be able to relieve the siege. We have more things to do!" Huangfu Jianzhang pulled him and started to leave.
Zhao Yun stood still and said, "Where are you going?"
Huangfu Jian couldn't hold him back, so he had to say: "It's not too late, let's go to Puyang!"
Zhao Yun understood instantly and said in surprise: "Bai Rao's lair?"
Huangfu Jianchang nodded repeatedly, laughed, and said: "The power of Bai Rao is much greater than that of Yu Du, and there must be more things in his lair! If we rob his lair, wouldn't it be a great feat?"
Zhao Yun saw that Huangfu Jian's appearance was completely different from what he thought, but it was indeed more useful. He said in a deep voice without hesitation: "Retract the troops and go down the mountain!"
Huangfu Jianchang liked such a wise man who understood his words and invited the people from the Imperial City Mansion to come down the mountain with him.
Zhao Yun's 10,000 troops left Chaoge and headed straight for Puyang without stopping.
Chaoge is not far from Puyang. After passing through three counties, Zhao Yun arrived.
He made a big show of his efforts along the way and made no secret of it. He surrounded the Bailuo Tianshan Village with water, and the torch archers, guarded by the shield soldiers, continuously fired into the village.
Most of these villages are made of wooden structures, and in the hot summer, the weather is dry and the fires are almost uncontrollable.
"No……"
Huangfu Jianchang hit his head against the tree from behind, trying to stop him, but Zhao Yun didn't listen to him at all.
Huangfu Jian's heart was as sharp as a knife as he looked at the raging fire.
Zhao Yun ignored him, and the archers kept shooting. When the village was in chaos, he led his men to charge in.
There were nearly twice as many people in Tianshan Village as there were in Tiger Village. Zhao Yun rushed in and it took him two full hours to calm down.
Huangfu Jianchang entered the village almost crying and went straight to the granary.
I found that only a small half was left, and my breathing was not so smooth.
Zhao Yun was cleaning up the cottage, and in the evening he saw Huangfu Jianchang still in the warehouse, so he had to come over and said: "We don't have time, Bai Rao will come back at any time to kill us, hurry up and leave!"
Huangfu Jianchang squatted on the ground and sighed with a dejected face: "Don't tell me that 200,000 shi of food are gone."
Zhao Yun pulled him up and said: "There are so many people in the village today that we can't break through it in a short time without using this method."
Huangfu Jianchang was dragged by Zhao Yun, half pushed and half pushed out, saying: "Go to Julu."
Zhao Yun paused, looked at him and said, "Don't you want to continue?"
Huangfu Jianchang's mournful face slowly turned serious, and he said solemnly: "When the news spreads, it will not be so easy to succeed. These thieves have lost money and food, and the autumn harvest is approaching. They will go crazy. The giant deer cannot let anything go!"
Zhao Yun had no doubt about the judgment of Second Young Master Huangfu. He nodded heavily and said, "I have already sent a letter to Da Sima's Mansion. Now let's go to Julu."
Huangfu Jian grew out of the stronghold and ordered people to take the stolen money and food to the Forbidden Army camp by familiar means.
Zhao Yun and Huangfu Jian grew up in Puyang and once again hid day and night to avoid the Black Mountain Army and bandits who might attack them.
Five days later, when they arrived at Julu, they found that there was almost no trace of the Black Mountain Army in Julu.
After entering the city, Zhang Wenyuan listened to Zhao Yun talking about Huangfu Jian's behavior of stealing the house. He raised his hand and said in a deep voice: "Brother Huangfu is very witty and has extraordinary strategies. He is worthy of being the second son of the Great Sima. Zhang Liao admires him!"
Before, he had wondered why the rebels besieging the city suddenly withdrew. He never expected that it was Huangfu Jianchang and Zhao Yun who stole Bai Rao and Yu Du's lair!
