Chapter 1579: The Battle of Xuzhou (176)
The battle situation in Xuzhou always affected Yuan Shao's nerves, when he heard that Cao Cao had lost three battles in Pei County in a row and lost more than 10,000 people, his heart was extremely complicated, he didn't know whether to be happy or sad for Cao Cao, and it should be sad to deal with Liu Lan, but as far as Cao Cao was concerned, he should be happy, and he wished that Liu Lan would get rid of this white-eyed wolf directly.
But he can only think about it like this, but he doesn't want a similar situation to really happen, once Cao Cao is really solved by Liu Lan, with their current situation of the main force being dragged in Qingzhou, they can only watch Liu Lan's troops Yanhe, and nothing can be done.
So now he can only give Wen Chou Gaolan an an order to solve the trouble in Qingzhou as soon as possible, and on the other hand, continue to pay attention to the battle situation in Pei County, if such a situation really occurs, then Qingzhou's troops must be transferred into Taishan County, just in case.
But what really gave Yuan Shao a headache was in Youzhou, the news came from Youbeiping, the former general Tian Yu of the former Gongsun Zhan tent led the cavalry under the tent to run all the way, raided the county governance of the Tuan, and the counties of the right Beiping although the county orders were replaced, but the first time outside the original Gongsun Chan account, these people heard that Tian Yu led the troops back to Youbeiping, for a time they responded one after another, changed the flag, the momentum was beyond imagination, in less than a month, Liaoxi, Liaodong vassal countries have defected, and even several counties in Yuyang County have been self-reliant, the reason why it is said to be self-reliance rather than defection, mainly because these county orders have an ambiguous attitude, although they are self-reliant, they do not want to have anything to do with Tian Yu, which can be regarded as a self-contained system.
Although Gongsun Zhan did a lot of foolish things in Youbeiping and even in the later period of Youzhou, but he did not lose the hearts of the people, on the contrary, he has been in Youzhou for so many years, after all, the favored people belong to the majority, and these people often belong to the suppressed side under Yuan Xi's rule, I heard that Tian Yu came back, and he also came with large soldiers, and they raised troops one after another, plus the university closed the road, Yuan Shao had no choice but to them, so they were quite unscrupulous, but although they had soldiers, they could only be in the county, and they did not have winter clothes like Tian Yu, and they could travel long distances as they wanted.
In this way, although many people are willing to take soldiers and horses to the earth to join Tian Yu and serve Liu Lan, but such a situation will have to wait for the beginning of spring next year at the earliest, but from the news sent by the counties, their private armed forces can at least more than 10,000 people, if this scale is placed in the Central Plains, it is really not much, but in the right Beiping, Liaoxi, Liaodong vassal countries, but it is extraordinary, after all, these three places are vast and sparsely populated, and the permanent population is small, not to mention the young adults who become soldiers, it is even rarer.
Of course, they didn't come directly to the mound to meet him, in fact, it is good news, because he only came with some rations on this trip, and did not carry any baggage, if this line can't take the mound, then there will be trouble, of course, it is easy to raise food after all, just loot from the hands of the people, but this is only a strategy after all, fortunately, the mound was taken, and there was directly enough food supply for them to overwinter, but this can only ensure his food for 10,000 people, if another 10,000 people come, then they will all be hungry, Coupled with these miscellaneous troops coming to the earth round, first of all, they are composed of good and bad, and secondly, they are all private armed forces, it is difficult for Tian Yu to restrain them with military discipline, and when the time comes, they will not only not help him in any way, but may also become a drag.
Although such troubles will happen later, but now there is no need to worry too much, and their current army is obviously a big help to him, strengthening his momentum, even if they fail in the end, but these people have no way to retreat, and when the time comes, they can also bring them into Liaodong, at that time, he will appease them, and then Xu Huang will disband their arms, and at the same time select the best of them to join the army, as for the others, they will naturally be appeased.
Of course, this is all his consideration of the back road, after all, it is now a good form, after taking the moat, Tian Yu has carried out nearly half a month of rectification of the troops, the most important thing is to clean up some forces in the moat, and from the old acquaintances who have newly established the old to come out and take power, this can be regarded as completely controlling the moat, and also uprooting Yuan Xi's henchmen and manpower in the moat.
Although it took half a month for the family, Tian Yu was able to ensure that Tuyuan could become his truly safe rear, which provided a good opportunity for him to enter Yuyang and directly attack Jixian County, where Yuan Xi was located.
And in this half a month of the family, a bad news from the right Beiping to Jixian and then to Yecheng finally arrived in the plain, into Yuan Shao's ears, 100,000 urgent military situation made Yuan Shao can no longer stay in the plain, overnight with frustration and other henchmen back to Yecheng, a few days later in Yecheng is about to close the city gate at the moment, the party finally entered Yecheng, after entering the general's mansion, the wind and dust servants walked to the council hall.
The group didn't have time to rest, because at this moment, including Yuan Shang, Guo Tu, Xianbei, Xun Zhan and others, they had already been waiting in the conference hall for a long time, and Yuan Shao needed to discuss the military situation in Youzhou.
Yuan Shao made such a big move, it is indeed very rare in these years, even if there was a situation in the past, Yuan Shao was more accustomed to directly issuing orders after the plan was properly planned, but now the situation is like when he just got Jizhou, Nanyang, Yingchuan and Hebei scholars gathered together, it is really rare.
"The army is tired of waiting." At this moment, Yuan Shao, who had been in the dust all the way, walked into the conference hall, and behind him was depressed, and after he sat down, he smiled and said, "Everyone sit down." As he spoke, he looked at Yuan Shang again and said, "Tell me what the situation in Youzhou is now." ”
Yuan Shang has been dealing with the documents from the counties after Yuan Shao left, and before that, Yuan Shao has gradually let him get in touch with some official affairs that are not difficult to handle, a little bit of familiarization with him, so that he has the appearance of today, even if Yuan Shao leaves, he also has the ability to take charge of himself, everything is handled in an orderly manner, this day is undoubtedly the most gratifying thing after Yuan Shao left, but on the issue of Youzhou, Yuan Shang is still a little immature, Especially after the disagreements between several major advisers, it was difficult for him to make a clear decision.
But growth needs to accumulate over time, just like him, until now he is grateful to the general He Jin, why, it is because the years in the general's mansion let him get a real exercise, which played a decisive role in his future to be able to take charge of himself, otherwise he is still a more chivalrous young man, such a jealous and hateful character may be good, but it is impossible to have today's achievements.
And now Yuan Shang's situation is somewhat similar to what he was back then, although it is impossible for him to follow his own path again, but this is also the Great General's Mansion, so he is not too worried.
Yuan Shang bowed and said: "Father, the enemy army that invaded Youbeiping this time is Tian Yu, the former Gongsun Zhan's old department, this person has been missing with his son since Gongsun Zhan's self-immolation, for which his father rewarded a large reward, and even sought Donghu's help, but there has been no accurate news about them, but there have always been rumors that they entered Liaodong, but there are rumors that they actually entered Sanhan and Goguryeo, but what is the truth, but there have been different opinions, no one has seen their real bodies.
And this time the news about Tian Yu's return to Youbeiping, in fact, the information that the child has is also a rumor, no one has seen Tian Yu with his own eyes, and we want to send someone to investigate, but because Liaodong has been closed by heavy snow after the late autumn, there are only a handful of scouts who can enter, and we can't determine whether it is Tian Yu and his people, and the situation we can grasp is because the counties of Youbeiping have rebelled, and some officials who fled from these places have learned about this situation, but it has not been confirmed. So now Tian Yu is an imaginary enemy, and there is no way to determine whether the truth is a troublemaker in Xuzhou or the old ministry of the former Gongsun Zan came back to take revenge. ”
"Gongsun Zan and Liu Lan have always been in the same breath, if this matter is not for Liu Lan's small actions behind his back, it is impossible to do so, and it doesn't matter what the truth of this matter is, the important thing is that Tian Yu has controlled the right Beiping, Liaoxi and Liaodong vassal states, and we can only sit back and watch now, there is no way!"
This is the main reason why Yuan Shao is angry, and he has always been a little confused: "Why can Tian Yu enter Youbeiping, but we can't?" Is it really just a matter of heavy snow closing the mountains? Or is there something else going on? He didn't want to think about the intrigue between the brothers, he wanted to believe that even if his children fought openly and secretly for the position of the son, but in such a matter as life and death, they had to work together, and he also believed that neither Yuan Xi nor Yuan Shang would fall into the well at this time, and they would be able to distinguish the priority.
"Father, the heavy snow closes the road, and the troops can't enter Youbeiping at all, even if the snow breaks and opens the road, but the soldiers can't survive the cold of Youbeiping, it's okay during the day, but when it comes to night, it's ......" Yuan Shang couldn't go on, although he hadn't seen such a tragic situation with his own eyes, but when he was fighting with Gongsun Zhan, such a situation happened repeatedly, and it was still in Yuyang County, and now it is the colder Youbeiping.
He didn't even dare to think about how the people living in Liaodong survived this, but this answer was not valid for Yuan Shao: "You mean that we can't enter Youbeiping, then you tell me, why can Tian Yu enter!" ”
"Maybe they've already entered Youbeiping early in the morning?" Yuan Shang's voice became like his mosquito, so low that he couldn't hear what he was saying at all, but Yuan Shao, who looked at his mouth moving, saw clearly what he was talking about, and was immediately furious: "This is your answer, you arrived in Youbeiping early in the morning, and you can still lurk without being noticed, you say, is it possible?" ”
And now Yuan Shang's situation is somewhat similar to what he was back then, although it is impossible for him to follow his own path again, but this is also the Great General's Mansion, so he is not too worried.
Yuan Shang bowed and said: "Father, the enemy army that invaded Youbeiping this time is Tian Yu, the former Gongsun Zhan's old department, this person has been missing with his son since Gongsun Zhan's self-immolation, for which his father rewarded a large reward, and even sought Donghu's help, but there has been no accurate news about them, but there have always been rumors that they entered Liaodong, but there are rumors that they actually entered Sanhan and Goguryeo, but what is the truth, but there have been different opinions, no one has seen their real bodies.
