Chapter 419: Wang Li Should Be Killed
Night, Anyang City.
After entering Anyang, Ouyang Shuo and his party lived in the City Lord's Mansion as a matter of course.
The officials in Anyang City had fled long ago.
At this time, the City Lord's Mansion was empty, with all kinds of objects and furniture crumbling here and there.
Seeing this, Wang Feng arranged a squadron to be responsible for cleaning up the City Lord's Mansion. Fortunately, Ouyang Shuo is not a very particular person, so after tidying up a bit, he started to deal with government affairs.
As for the living room, Bai Hua's second daughter is in charge of tidying up.
They have a whole set of bedding in their storage bags, so don't worry.
In this regard, Gaia is quite humane. It's not that if you don't use the storage bag during the war, you really can't use anything. In that case, the players will probably make a fuss.
Facing such an elite army, the aristocratic families, merchants and common people in Anyang City dared not do anything, and could do nothing, just like a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
However, Ouyang Shuo even came forward to meet the heads of various families and representatives of businessmen. Considering Bai Qi's strategy, Ouyang Shuo naturally wants to control Anyang City as soon as possible, and there is no room for loss.
The first one is to appease the people in the city.
The world has been against Qin for a long time, and Anyang is within the territory of Zhao State. There are not a few people who are dissatisfied with Qin Dynasty.
Zhang Han looted the food in Anyang city, but the real people in the city left less than 10%.
Those left behind are all aristocratic families or chambers of commerce.
For these people, Zhang Han is lenient. Zhang Han also knew that if he wanted to support the entire war, he couldn't kill all the local aristocratic families and chambers of commerce. Otherwise, go too far.
Ouyang Shuo's attitude was tough, and he directly reiterated his position as the representative of Qin Dynasty's aliens: whoever dares to collude with the rebel army and pass on information will immediately end in ransacking the family.
Being so frightened by Ouyang Shuo, all the families and businessmen were terrified.
Because it was a battle map, Ouyang Shuo didn't do anything to buy people's hearts. He directly announced that starting tonight, Anyang City will be under military control and a curfew will be enforced.
The guards of each family must be assembled and handed over to Habayashi Wei to lead.
Ouyang Shuo would not tolerate an armed force no longer under his control staying in Anyang City.
The major chambers of commerce have to prepare supplies and gather them together for the army to eat. Although the cities around Julu were raided first by Zhang Han and then by the rebel army, there was not much food for a long time.
The military ration pills that Ouyang Shuo brought were running low, so they naturally needed food supplies.
Not only Ouyang Shuo was short of food, but the anti-Qin army was even more short of food.
In order to ensure the food supply, Xiang Yu had arranged for his father, Fan Zeng, to go to Pengcheng to collect food in person.
The grain transportation team is different from Habayashi Guard, they can transport grain from Pengcheng to Julu in four or five days. According to a conservative estimate, it will take at least four days before the first batch of food can be delivered to Julu.
After being busy until late at night, Ouyang Shuo went back to his room to rest.
Bai Hua and the two daughters of Feng Prison and Huang were not good at fighting, but they were good at managing civil affairs and logistics, and they helped Ouyang Shuo a lot. Otherwise, things would not have gone so smoothly.
In the early morning of the next day, Anyang City became lively again.
The people in the city were mobilized by Habayashi Guard to repair the city walls and stockpile supplies for the defense of the city. All the gates of the city are guarded by Habayashi guards, who are allowed to enter and not allowed to exit.
The matter is so important that Ouyang Shuo cannot be careless.
He only hoped that nothing would happen before Wang Lijun arrived in Anyang. The originally inconspicuous Anyang City has actually become the focus of determining the success or failure of the battle.
Last night, Ouyang Shuo had dispatched a small team to meet Wang Lijun overnight.
Accompanied by hummingbirds.
Ouyang Shuo's arrangement this time is also convenient for the two armies to maintain contact, just in case.
Unexpectedly, it really came in handy.
***********
At the same time, the camp of the anti-Qin army.
The 30,000 army has quietly assembled, and under the leadership of Lian Po, they walked out of the camp.
The camp of the Alien Legion was separated from the anti-Qin army, and Dichen was in charge of managing it nominally. With this convenience, Di Chen was able to bring the army out of the camp.
Even so, when Xiang Yu got the news, he could not escape punishment.
Dichen was full of confidence in attacking Anyang City this time.
Originally, it was an empty city.
The difficulty lies in defending Anyang City against the army of the Qin Dynasty.
Although Han Xin saw through Bai Qi's arrangement, how many troops Bai Qi had arranged, when did the Qin army arrive in Anyang City, etc., Han Xin couldn't answer these series of questions.
Therefore, Dichen strongly invited Han Xin to go out with the army.
Never thought about it, but Han Xin shook his head and refused.
Only with an army of 30,000 and Lian Po commanding him, Han Xin had no interest in getting involved.
Furthermore, his current identity is the grain army under Xiang Yujun's account, how could he leave his post without authorization. Once discovered, according to the military law, there is no good fruit for Han Xin.
Seeing this, Di Chen shook his head regretfully.
Dichen invited Han Xin to go out with the army, and his intention was not simple.
First, the chances of winning the army led by Han Xin are indeed a little better. After all, Han Xin knows this Qin army better than Lianpo.
The second is Dichen's scheming. He just wanted Han Xin to break the military regulations, so that Han Xin could not be tolerated by Xiang Yujun, and he could only be cast under Di Chen's account in the end.
When it comes to playing tricks, the children of these aristocratic families are really at their fingertips.
Unfortunately, Han Xin was not fooled at all.
In desperation, Di Chen could only lead his troops to leave and head for Anyang City. The camp of the anti-Qin army is only half a day away from Anyang City.
At noon, 30,000 troops arrived outside Anyang City.
Dichen rode on the war horse and looked at Anyang City from a distance. The success or failure of the Battle of Julu was determined here.
At this moment, the striker came to report.
"Report!"
"speak!"
"My lord, I found that there are troops stationed in Anyang City, and it is not an empty city."
"what?"
Dichen was startled. Could it be that he was already a step late?
On the other hand, Lian Po was calmer and asked, "How many troops are stationed in the city? Which troops are they?"
"Report to the general. There is no flag hanging on the top of the city. I don't know which army it is. The subordinates took a look from a distance and saw that there are still people repairing the city wall at the top of the city. There are not many soldiers patrolling the city wall."
When Lian Po heard this, his eyes lit up, and he turned to Di Chen and said, "My lord, the opponent must be the vanguard of the Qin Army, and it has just arrived in Anyang City. Going down to Anyang City, everything is still planned."
Originally, Lian Po was not convinced by Han Xin's judgment. The appearance of the vanguard of the Qin army undoubtedly confirmed Han Xin's judgment.
Lian Po began to pay attention to Han Xin.
"good!"
Di Chen nodded vigorously, and said, "There's no need to wait, the whole army is attacking, and we must take Anyang City."
When it was time to be decisive, Di Chen was unequivocal.
"promise!"
The 30,000 army suddenly accelerated and rushed towards Anyang City.
***********
Naturally, the mighty army could not escape Habayashi Wei's investigation.
When Ouyang Shuo heard the news, his heart trembled.
"How many people are there in the enemy army?"
"No less than 30,000 troops, mainly infantry, like an alien army."
not good!
The 3,000 Feather Forest Guards, together with the 1,000 elites of Bai Hua and Feng Prison Huang, after several encounters, only 3,500 people remained. Even if the hastily recruited guards are added together, there are less than 5,000 people.
With this 5,000 troops, how can we deal with 30,000 troops?
Ouyang Shuo never imagined how the other party would suddenly plan on Anyang City. After all, the previous week, Anyang City was completely undefended against the anti-Qin rebels, and they hadn't seen them stationed.
However, on the second day after he entered Anyang City, the alien army came to attack Anyang City.
Such a coincidence made Ouyang Shuo suspicious.
Could it be that there is an inner ghost?
Won't!
The players on this trip are just Ouyang Shuo, Bai Hua and Feng Prison Huang, there is absolutely no such possibility.
Or in Anyang City, someone tipped off overnight?
Thinking of this, Ouyang Shuo's eyes turned cold, it was so cold that it made people shiver.
Ouyang Shuo shook off his thoughts, now is not the time to think about it.
"Wang Lijun, have you already contacted me?"
"We got in touch. According to General Wang Li's report, the army was two days late because of the search for food in Hanoi. The vanguard will not arrive at Anyang City until at least tomorrow afternoon."
"Tomorrow afternoon?"
There was a flash of anger on Ouyang Shuo's face.
Wang Li was so bold that he dared not march on time.
Bai Qi's reply letter to him yesterday already stated that Wang Lijun would arrive in Anyang City by this afternoon at the latest. Unexpectedly, Wang Lijun was a full day late.
One day, on the battlefield, is enough to change the course of the war.
Bai Qi's arrangement is naturally exquisite, and he is also sure that if Xiang Yu's army cannot capture Jiyuan City, he may notice Anyang City in the rear.
Therefore, Bai Qi asked Wang Lijun to set off early.
Never thought that Wang Li would be so bold.
Think about it, if Ouyang Shuo hadn't rushed back from Su County and entered Anyang City in advance. Then once the anti-Qin army occupied Anyang City, Bai Qi's arrangement would all come to nothing.
The consequences are simply unimaginable.
Such a mistake should be cut off.
A murderous look flashed in Ouyang Shuo's eyes.
He tried his best to calm down the anger in his heart, and said: "Order Wang Lijun, his vanguard, must arrive at Anyang City tomorrow morning, otherwise come and see him."
"promise!"
The guard's heart trembled, and he stepped back quickly. He rarely saw Junhou so angry.
Although Ouyang Shuo was a representative of a different person, he was able to issue military orders to Wang Li. It seemed unreasonable, but it was perfectly normal.
On the day Wang Li rushed to Jiyuan City, Bai Qi summoned him. At that time, Ouyang Shuo was also present, and he was sitting at the top.
Obviously, in the Qin camp at this time, Ouyang Shuo is the second lord.
As for Qin II in Xianyang, who will take care of him?
Therefore, Ouyang Shuo was able to issue orders to Wang Li.
After handling it properly, Ouyang Shuo recruited Bai Hua and the two daughters of Feng Prison and Huang. He briefly introduced the situation of the general, and then said: "The logistics in the city, please leave to the two of you!"
"Don't worry, leave it to us!"
The two women are also heroines, so they don't panic when things happen.
Ouyang Shuo nodded and hurried out of the City Lord's Mansion.
At the door, the guards have brought Qingdian.
Ouyang Shuo stepped onto Qingdian and said, "Go to the west gate."
The west city gate is exactly where the enemy army came from.
