Chapter 1539: The Battle of Xuzhou (136)

The situation of Hou Qian is indeed a bit unexpected, or even Liu Lan himself did not expect that he would come out again at this time, although the last time Tai Shi Ci recruited him, but who knew that this person did not change his thief nature, and in addition to having a group of followers in the local area, it didn't take long for him to rebel again, but at this time Yan Rou had already gained a firm foothold in Huang County, so his rebellion this time actually did not set off much turmoil, but was quickly exterminated, but this kid escaped quickly, which failed to correct him on the spot.

But who would have thought that as soon as Yan Rou left on the front foot, Houqian began to move, especially after hearing that several forces in Huang County had rebelled after hearing the news, he directly led his troops to kill, and the guard battalion, which was originally just a small fight, was dumbfounded when he appeared.

Let's say happy, he has indeed increased his momentum a lot, but if it is not happy, it is that there is no bottom line for doing things after this, the people and the government are looting, the sky is angry and people are resentful, there is no way, it is just like Xu Shu reporting and waiting for orders.

And Xu Shu's attitude in this matter is to avoid it, anyway, it is the place where the money haunts, they have to stay away, which is why they came to Luxiang and Dangli, it is really to avoid the money in Huang County, but this money is so powerful in Huang County, especially after getting the gold mine controlled by Liu Lan, it is even more recruiting, in just half a month, it has expanded westward to Qucheng, east to Muping County, and the entire Donglai has almost let him occupy more than half, seeing that he has begun to encroach on Dangli County, The internal guards of Qingzhou were worried about what to do, and even considered taking a sea boat directly to Liaodong, when the Jizhou army came again, although they were caught off guard, but there were wolves and tigers in front of them, so that they were a little struggling.

It dragged on for a few days, but I didn't expect the Jizhou army to stay still, this news is very good, but who would have thought that Houqian was pressing step by step, seeing that they were getting closer and closer to Dangli, they had no choice but to follow the military order, all the staff took a boat to Liaodong temporarily, waited for a good opportunity, and then returned to Qingzhou.

Now the situation in Qingzhou is completely out of Liu Lan's control, or the situation in Donglai is far beyond his expectations, but this is fine, anyway, it is a disaster in his eyes, and it is not bad for them to kill each other first, and then he will be able to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

What's more, he really didn't take him seriously for Hou Qian, this person is a typical Donglaiyi, not much different from the Nanban and Shanyueyi people, although it may seem short-sighted in many cases, easy to see profit and forgetfulness, and even become desperate under some temptations, but these weaknesses are just the reason why he was able to defeat him several times and three times, but one thing should not be forgotten, their combat effectiveness is extraordinary, otherwise Liu Lan would not have sent Tai Shici to the first time, but not only because Tai Shici appeared in Huangxian.

These Huyi, whether it is Donghu or Xiqiang, whether it is Nanban or Shanyue, they have not yet completely integrated with the Han people, even if it is Donglaiyi, it is only a large part, and a small part still maintains the original habits, the reason why Qian and others have repeatedly rebelled after these events, they are not convinced by the rule of the Han people, plus those yellow gold is dug out and seen hot, these should be theirs, in this case, as long as Hou Qian raises his arms and shouts, it is bound to be like a cloud, Now it's okay, Donglai's big trouble has become a big trouble for Yuan Shao, Liu Lan is naturally happy, watching the excitement, at most it is just to lose some gold, but compared to the consumption of the Jizhou army or the money after the elimination of Donglaiyi, even if you use this gold, I am afraid that you will not recover such an effect.

The Neiwei ferry left in Huang County, Gao Kui learned that the news had just entered Donglai County, and he ran into Houqian head-on, and this news has not yet been transmitted back to the plain, at this moment Yuan Shao, who is in Pingyuan County, is still listening to the report of the Donglai County guard, and he also has an intuitive understanding of this group of powerful rebel forces.

At first, he thought that all this was Liu Lan rebelling behind his back, but after the report of the Donglai County Guard in Tingli, he knew that it was Donglaiyi rebellion, and this Donglaiyi Yuan Shao also saw it by chance when he was flipping through ancient books, and he didn't take it seriously at the time, thinking that this was all hundreds of years ago, and how could there be Yi people in Qingzhou now, but now it seems that he is lonely and unheard, Donglaiyi has always been there, but he doesn't understand, and the leader of the rebellion, Houqian, is the bandit leader that Liu Lan has been purging, And this person doesn't know where he got a lot of money and goods, and he recruits people on a large scale, and his current strength must not be underestimated.

It's easy to recruit people, but in fact, it doesn't need much money, just like the Yellow Turban Rebellion, is it needed, no, but what surprised him a little was that Liu Lan had been in Qingzhou for so many years, and he didn't solve such a small leader, could this person really have any heavenly ability?

No one knows, including the county guard, after all, he doesn't know a lot about the situation, and it's more just hearsay, but one thing can be known, when there were thousands of people in the past, Liu Lan was helpless against him, and now his power has grown to tens of thousands of people, almost sweeping the entire Donglai, this situation cannot be ignored.

And the situation in Donglai is different from other counties, other counties have the destruction of the Yellow Turban, there are also the military disasters that they fought with the Xuzhou army, and even the locust plague that swept Yanzhou, Yuzhou, but Donglai has never been greatly harmed, so whether it is the population or the wealth of the people, it is enough to ensure that the money is worry-free, plus he is not different from the original Yellow Turban, but knows how to stand on the people, especially with the support of Donglaiyi, this force is not trivial, if he really makes him sit big, Then they can drink a pot in Qingzhou.

Fortunately, Yuan Tan and Gao Ran's reaction actions are not too slow, and they have already sent troops to clear up, although it is only 10,000 people, they may not be able to easily exterminate this group of strongmen, but how can they delay their pace, as long as their scope is controlled in Donglai, then everything will be solved, but once they break through Donglai, whether it is Huangxian or Le'an, it will become the direction of his attack.

The current situation can be said to be such a situation, the situation in Qingzhou has been completely solved, it is not controlled by Liu Lan, maybe this can be regarded as good news, at this time, news came from Qingzhou again, it was Yuan Tan who sent someone, Yuan Shao instantly looked at Frustration, and the latter squinted his eyes and muttered: "At this time, the eldest son sent someone to come, what can I report?" ”

Although he didn't seem to have the intention to say it, but the meaning was clear, it was pointed directly at the back money, after all, Gao Kui had been going to suppress the bandits for a while, if calculated according to time, the first battle was almost there, and soon, a soldier entered the council hall and handed over a battle report of victory in the first battle in front of Yuan Shao and the three of them.

The moment he received the battle report, Yuan Shao's eyes were about to smile, this Gao Kui is good, he won the first battle, it seems that the situation in Donglai is still within the controllable range, at this moment Yuan Shao's heart has blossomed, if this Gao Kui can live up to his high hopes and be able to recover Donglai all the way, and even get rid of the money, then this Qingzhou will be completely pacified, and it will be much easier to deal with Liu Lan next.

Not to mention the distraught Yuan Shao, he kept calm at all times, first of all, they didn't know about this group of rebels, and secondly, he didn't know about the battle situation, so he couldn't determine what the situation of this battle was, but soon he took the battle report from Yuan Shao's hand, and soon a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

: It seems that these bandits are no different from the yellow turbans of the year, such a wave of bandits, it can't become a climate. He was really afraid that this gang of bandits was showing weakness to the enemy, and even wanted to lure the enemy deeper, but depending on the situation, it was completely the victory along the way that made them get carried away, and they were killed regardless of the strict formation of the college entrance examination, and finally were directly killed by the college entrance examination, chasing hundreds of miles all the way, killing 3,000 enemies and capturing 2,000, just imagine that the total number of people and horses in Houqian is only 20,000, such a large number of casualties, if he wants to lure the enemy deep, it is simply a way to kill himself, so at the moment of seeing the battle report, He can be regarded as completely relieved, and Donglai's situation can be relieved of a hundred hearts.

This idea is almost exactly the same as Yuan Tan at this moment, but he soon found out that the situation is far from the case, the first battle of Houqian may really be underestimated by the enemy, but as the troops retreat all the way back and return to his real territory Huangxian, everything has become extremely difficult for Gao Kui, here is almost equivalent to Houqian's home field, the location is advantageous and the people are occupied, even if the time is given to you, Gao Kui will never defeat him again.

Imagine that even Tai Shi Ci, who is familiar with the terrain, has to be cautious in front of Hou Qian, and in the end he is just besieged by him, even in this case, Tai Shi Ci has no certainty of victory, or in the form of Zhao'an, Hou Qian solved the trouble of Donglai, try to ask Gao Kui is 108,000 miles behind Tai Shi Ci in all aspects, and he is not familiar with the terrain, after entering Huang County, it is simply a group of people who are brushed by Hou Qian, and every day he will lose and defeat thousands of people under the sneak attack of Hou Qian, This kind of loss seems insignificant at first, but if it lasts for three days in a row, then the loss has to be taken seriously, he brought only 10,000 people, and lost 2,500 or 600 people in three days, if it continues like this, let alone 10,000 people, even if it is more, it is not enough for this gang of bandits to kill.

Gao Kui was completely honest, he didn't dare and couldn't continue to chase this gang of bandits behind his buttocks, and while retreating to Huangxian, he divided his troops to report the situation here to Yuan Tan and Gao Ran, and listened to the instructions.

The news came quickly, first of all, it was naturally passed to the nearest Gao Ran, after he received the document, looking at the content on it, Gao Kui said the situation he is encountering now in great detail, but the description of some terrain is a little blurred, he quickly found the map of Qingzhou, and found the location of Huang County on it, but the map could not give him a solution, and even the introduction of Huang County was not clear at all.

On this point, we can see the gap between Jizhou and Xuzhou, although the map is difficult to help Gao Lan, but he still looks at the map very seriously, pondering the countermeasures, although Gao Kui is a front-line general, no one knows the situation on the front line better than him, but he also knows that this is the first time Gao Kui led the troops alone, although he is very good, but in this situation, it is inevitable that he will be confused, easy to make mistakes, especially the most important point is that he is afraid of taking responsibility.

This idea is almost exactly the same as Yuan Tan at this moment, but he soon found out that the situation is far from the case, the first battle of Houqian may really be underestimated by the enemy, but as the troops retreat all the way back and return to his real territory Huangxian, everything has become extremely difficult for Gao Kui, here is almost equivalent to Houqian's home field, the location is advantageous and the people are occupied, even if the time is given to you, Gao Kui will never defeat him again.
