Volume 2 Heroes in Troubled Times Chapter 2 Like Facing the Abyss Section 22
Chapter 2 is like facing the abyss Section 22 Late autumn, the trees are withered and yellow, the eyes are full of gloom, and the gentle breeze carries a hint of coolness.
Li Hong patted the slightly restless Feixue, stroked its snow-white mane a few times, and looked up at the sky.
The blue sky is wide and deep, and under the flowing white clouds, a line of geese is flapping their wings and flying south.
Li Hong's tired heart suddenly shuddered. The wild geese have come home, where is my home? For a long time, there has been no news from his family, and Li Hong has gradually given up this hopeless search.
If the family was still alive, they would have found Northern Xinjiang a long time ago, and today, who doesn't know Li Hong's prestige?
The family is probably gone, probably already buried in the war and disaster, although the truth is cruel, but Li Hong still slowly accepted this reality.
If you can stabilize the society and let the people of the world live and work in peace and contentment, maybe you can make this kind of tragic thing happen again, but can you do it?
Li Hong sighed. Now the situation in Luoyang is complicated, Jizhou has no clue, Dong Zhuo in order to suppress and weaken his own strength, and choose to attack in October, the season of autumn harvest and autumn planting.
What's even more disturbing is that Northern Xinjiang also had an accident at this time. Li Hong was under tremendous pressure, feeling exhausted, walking on thin ice, and exhausted to death.
The group walked quietly on the gallop road, and the atmosphere was heavy. In the distance, a few ragged peasants were busy in the fields, looking up indifferently at the army galloping down the road, and then going on with their business.
Li Hong looked at them intently. Zhu Jun next to him said: "Dong Zhuo's destruction of Kanto is too terrible. There are almost no people in Hongnong County, and even if there are people, they hide in the mountains and dare not come out. Although the situation in Henan Yin is slightly better, it is far worse than the more than one million people in the past. Now the 20 counties in Yin, Henan Province together have a population of more than 200,000, which is very good. Li Hong retracted his gaze, turned his head and asked, "There has been no war in Kanto for half a year, and no one has come back in the past half a year?" Zhu Jun shook his head and said bitterly: "Of the 1.23 million people in Kanto, hundreds of thousands of people have died because of the war in the past two years, some of them were conscripted as civilian husbands and died on the battlefield, some of them starved to death and froze to death, and some of them were eaten as military rations. Those who survived either fled north to Hedong or south to Yangzhou, Xuzhou, Yuzhou, and Jingzhou. What a misery. The general said that there was no war in Kwantung, but if you look at Jingzhou, Yuzhou, Jizhou, Yanzhou, where are you not fighting? The people have no way to live, they can only flee, and they will not return. Although their hometown is good, their hometown is full of smoke and ruins everywhere, what are they doing when they come back? Sent to death? Li Hong was speechless.
"General, go back as soon as possible and keep the northern frontier. Keeping the northern Xinjiang and the two or three million Li people in the northern Xinjiang will also keep the hope of the prosperity of the community and the backbone of the revitalization of the Han Dynasty. Zhu Jun said earnestly,
"Jinyang is also the foundation of my Han Dynasty, and the ancestors of the Han Dynasty will definitely bless my Han Dynasty to prosper again." Li Hong didn't have the slightest confidence, he barely squeezed out a wry smile, and arched his hand and said, "My lord, don't send it, go back." The affairs of Luoyang will be entrusted to the adults. ”
"I'll give you another ride." Zhu Jun waved his hand and said,
"Please ask the general to present the eldest princess on her behalf. Due to Dong Zhuo's dispatch of troops to Tongguan, the Kwantung region was in crisis, so the matter of relocation was temporarily abandoned. ”
"The matter of the eldest princess and the court's relocation, it will definitely not work this year, only wait for next year." Li Hong sighed,
"If the situation in northern Xinjiang improves next year, and the adults also rebuild the northern and southern armies, then the security of the Kanto region can basically be guaranteed." Zhu Jun nodded heartily and did not speak.
On the beginning of October, the Hongnong City in Kansai, the camp of General Long Xiang. (The Kansai Pass refers to the Hangu Pass, and the so-called Kansai refers to the area west of the Hangu Pass and the east of the Tongguan Pass, and the Han Dynasty was basically the scope of Hongnong County.)
And Kanto is the area east of Hanya Pass. As for Guanzhong, this pass refers to the four passes of Tongguan, Wuguan, Xiaoguan and Dasanguan that defend Chang'an from four directions, and the area between the four passes is Guanzhong, including Chang'an, Jingzhaoyin, Fufeng County and Fengyi County.
After receiving an urgent report from General Yushi, Xu Rong led his troops to rush out of Hangu Pass to Hongnong City, and set up a triple defense in the Taolin and Candle Water areas to block the northern army.
Niu Fu's attack speed is not fast, steady and steady, step by step. After the jade retreated to the peach forest, it relied on the peach forest to launch a counterattack.
When the hussar general Li Hong arrived at Hongnong City, the battle ahead was fierce. Xu Rong said that Niu Fu relied on the advantage of being large in numbers to repel Congyi's (jade) counterattack, and now he is attacking Taolinsai.
Li Hong pointed to Hangu Pass on the map and said,
"I really couldn't stop it, so I transferred Zishan (Yan Liang) who was stationed in Hangu Pass and Zhengqing (Gao Lan) who was stationed in Luoyang City. Before the heavy snow comes, we must ensure the connection between Beijiang, Luoyang, Jing and Henan, so as to ensure that the grain we buy from all over the country can reach Hedong smoothly. ”
"There is no need to mobilize more troops to Kansai for the time being." Xu Rong pointed to the Candlewater River on the map,
"Jun Yi (Zhang He) took two battalions of Chang Gong and Chen Jian and 4,000 soldiers and horses to garrison on both sides of the Candle River. If we hold on here, the losses of the northern army crossing the river will inevitably be heavy. ”
"Judging from Dong Zhuo's intention to send troops to Guanxi, his purpose should be to cut off the connection between Northern Xinjiang and Guandong, so as to prevent the eldest princess and the imperial court from moving south to Luoyang." Xu Rong looked at Li Hong and said with a slight smile,
"The discussion in Luoyang has dragged on for too long, Dong Zhuo must have known the news that the eldest princess and the imperial court are about to move south. He may have thought that with the prestige of the eldest princess and the imperial court, he would be able to unite the soldiers and horses of various states and counties to fight King Dong Qin together, so that he would have a hard time next year, so he had this attack. Xu Rong twisted his short beard and said slowly: "In my opinion, the purpose of his attack this time has been achieved. Due to the pressure of the northern army, Kansai and Kanto were in crisis, and the time for the eldest princess and the imperial court to move south was bound to be delayed. By the end of November and the beginning of December, the Yellow River froze and the two places were cut off, and the time for the eldest princess and the imperial court to move south would be delayed until the end of February next year, that is, when the Yellow River turned into a Lingkai River. You see, should Dong Zhuo's next attack be in early March next year? ”
"Zilie, I understand what you mean." Li Hong spread out the map, his brows furrowed.
"What's the use of you urging me? Take Jizhou before March next year, the time is too tight, and I don't have so many troops. And once we attack, we will have to deal with Yuan Shao and Gong Hanzan at the same time. ”
"According to our estimates, Gongsun Chan has 30,000 troops. After Yuan Shao took Jizhou, there were at least 30,000 troops, and if the armies of Liu Dai, Wang Kuang, Cao Cao and Zhang Yang and other prefectures and counties went north one after another, then we would have to face off with an army of 90,000 to 100,000. And what about us? At present, we can only call on the three armies of Yuntian (Liyi), Feiyan (Zhang Yan) and Qizhi (Yang Feng) in the direction of Jizhou, that is, 24,000 people. We can only call half of Zilong's (Zhao Yun)'s iron cavalry at most, and the border county cannot be garrisoned without iron cavalry, so there are only 29,000 people. There is a gap of four to five times the strength of the two sides, and there is really no way to fight hard, so we can only look for the right time. Xu Rong also frowned, and persuaded in a slow voice: "Last year was the most difficult for Dong Zhuo, but he survived. From October last year, Dong Zhuo began to go south to burn, kill, and plunder, until this spring, he gained weight, and Guanzhong also got a respite. Although Guanzhong was hit by an earthquake in June, it was the people who were unlucky, Dong Zhuo would not take a grain of grain out to help the victims, he would only drive the victims out of Guanzhong and throw the burden to others. When Dong Zhuo has money and food, he will send the northern army to attack Luoyang non-stop. ”
"Luoyang is like a piece of meat in Dong Zhuo's hands, we and Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and officials from various prefectures and counties are salivating over this piece of meat, and we all have to come to grab it. As a result, we killed each other and lost strength, but Dong Zhuo became stronger and stronger. In the end, we were involved in this fast meat and became Dong Zhuo's mouthful food. Dong Zhuo's dispatch of troops to Tongguan this time fully exposed his intentions, he sent troops to fight once today, and again in the spring of next year, as soon as there was any wind in Luoyang, he would send troops, so that Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and others would immediately see Dong Zhuo's intentions. If Yuan Shao doesn't grab this piece of meat, we won't have a chance to fight Jizhou, and Jizhou will become more and more difficult to fight. We can't fight Jizhou, so we have to work with Dong Zhuo, and the northern Xinjiang is barren, and we will be dragged down by Dong Zhuo in the future. ”
"So, we're going to change our strategy immediately. We don't have time to wait any longer, do you know when Yuan Shao will turn his face with Gongsun Zhan? Will it turn its face in the end? Do you know if the Yellow Turban Army in Montenegro and Qingzhou will suffer heavy losses because of Gongsun Zhan's southward movement? If the Yellow Turban Army suffers a heavy blow, the situation in Jizhou, Yanzhou, and Qingzhou will immediately undergo new changes, and will this new change be even more unfavorable to us? Li Hong nodded again and again,
"Zilie, I have also thought about this question, if Dong Zhuo attacks Luoyang again in March next year, the eldest princess and the imperial court will definitely not be able to move south, so Dong Zhuo's intentions will be undoubtedly exposed. Yuan Shao, considering his own strength and various other factors, may change his strategy and temporarily abandon the capture of Luoyang, and instead join forces with Gongsun Zhan to settle in Jizhou, so as to force us to confront Dong Zhuo in the land of Kanto and Guanxi, and take the opportunity to sever our ties with various prefectures and counties, and greatly weaken our strength. Li Hong smiled bitterly: "I also want to send troops immediately to take Jizhou next spring, but how to solve the problem if the troops are not enough?" How to solve the shortage of grain and grass? Li Hong pointed to Jizhou on the map and said: "Because we are restricted by food and grass, we will not be able to attack until November at the earliest. At this time, winter has arrived, the Yellow Turban Army will retreat, and Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan can concentrate their forces to fight us. Secondly, when Jizhou fights, we must guard against Dong Zhuo to fight Hedong and Luoyang. You only have 20,000 troops here, is that enough? Do you want reinforcements? If we were to fight on two battlefields at the same time, we would be able to imagine how difficult and dangerous it would be. Third, when fighting in winter, we need to call in more people and consume more grain and grass. If we transfer the 50,000 troops from Pingcheng Tuntian District to the Jizhou battlefield, and all the 10,000 iron cavalry of Zilong (Zhao Yun) to the Jizhou battlefield, Jizhou will have 84,000 troops, that is, we need to recruit at least 500,000 people. Coupled with your more than 20,000 troops and hundreds of thousands of people here, do you calculate, can we afford this battle? ”
"We can't compare with Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zhan, Liu Dai, etc., they all have the support of Jizhou, Yanzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, Yuzhou and other states and counties behind them, and they can get a steady stream of grain and grass. Although the prefectures and counties in various prefectures and counties have been attacked by the Yellow Turban Army in the past two years, the counties in the east and north of Jizhou, the counties in the west of Yanzhou, and the counties in Xuzhou and the south of Yuzhou have not been looted by the Yellow Turban Army. Yangzhou, in particular, is intact. If they are determined to defeat us and work together, are we absolutely sure that we will take Jizhou? Xu Rong was silent for a while, then sighed,
"Yes, we can't afford this battle, so we have to wait for the opportunity."
"There should be opportunities." Li Hong said,
"As long as you block the northern army north of Hongnong City, there will be no danger in Northern Xinjiang and Luoyang for the time being. And the states and counties in various places will clearly feel Dong Zhuo's huge threat to them. For the sake of their own safety, they will continue to sell food to us and support our army to continue fighting with Dong Zhuo. At the same time, in order to weaken our strength, Yuan Shao will also try his best to pull us to the Jizhou battlefield as soon as possible, so that the northern Xinjiang will fall into the danger of fighting on both sides. In this way, we have both food and the opportunity to enter Jizhou. Because we are uniting with Yuan Shao to fight Gongsun Zhan, we don't need more troops, and we don't need to worry about the lack of food and grass for the army. As for when to drive away Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan and completely take Jizhou, it depends on the development of the situation, step by step. We have said a long time ago that Jizhou does not say that it can be taken if it can be taken, it needs a process so as not to be choked to death. ”
However, once Dong Zhuo occupied Hangu Pass and Luoyang, Northern Xinjiang lost its connection with various prefectures and counties, lost its continuous food supply, and fell into a desperate situation surrounded by Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao. At that time, the Jizhou battlefield will inevitably undergo earth-shaking changes, the Northern Xinjiang Army may face the danger of annihilation, and the situation in Northern Xinjiang will also take a sharp turn for the worse and deteriorate rapidly. Li Hong stretched out his hand to pat Xu Rong and said solemnly: "Zilie, the victory or defeat of the Kansai battlefield directly determines the future fate of Northern Xinjiang and the development of the situation in the Han Dynasty in the past two years. This place, at the moment, no one can hold up except you. I've given it to you, win or lose, you do your best. Xu Rong's expression was solemn and he bowed down to answer the order.
"I'll say it again." Li Hong took his hand and said,
"Win or lose, just do your best. It is up to people to plan things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen. If the sky is going to kill my great man, those of us who are ministers will have no good way except to go to the soup and break our bones. The two parted.
Xu Rong stood on the river embankment, looking at Li Hong, who was standing at the bow of the boat and waving to him, and his heart was sour.
The general's back was no longer as straight as it used to be, and countless crises followed, and the pressure as heavy as a mountain made the young general unbearable, and his straight spine had gradually bent.
On October, Hedong, Linfen Xingyuan. There was an accident in Hedong Juntun, and Zhang Baiqi, the general of Diannong Zhonglang, was to be held responsible, but Li Hong didn't want Zhang Baiqi to be deposed by the imperial court at this time.
So he wrote back to Zhang Baiqi and asked him to try his best to calm down the turmoil, so that after he returned to the court, he could defend him vigorously in front of the eldest princess, and he could turn big things into small things and small things.
As for the matter of transferring troops back to Hedong, of course, it is impossible. At the same time, he urgently wrote to Wang Han in Hedong and asked him to help Zhang Baiqi.
The matter of Juntun is a big trouble, and it will not do any good to Hedong. In order to give Zhang Baiqi enough time to deal with it, after crossing the river, he did not go directly to Linfen, but went to Pubanjin to take a look.
The Northern Army had heavy troops on the other side of Pubanjin, but the number of Northern Xinjiang troops stationed at the ferry was small, only 2,000 people.
Li Hong was very worried that Dong Zhuo would take the opportunity to send troops to attack Hedong, so he repeatedly instructed the garrison soldiers to be careful about precautions.
Then Li Hong, accompanied by Xie Ming, the commander of the salt and iron capital, went to the salt pond in Anyi City, and inspected the three officials of Shushui (the three official offices of Zhong Guan, Skill, and Debate Copper, which are the places where coins were minted) next to the Shushui River.
On this day, Zhang Bai rode to Li Hong in a hurry, and the incident of the Tuntian soldiers gathering to make trouble was successfully quelled, and the Tuntian soldiers had already returned to their base camps to participate in the autumn harvest and autumn planting under the persuasion of officials at all levels in the military tun.
Li Hong was overjoyed when he heard the news and hurried to Linfen. After Xu Rong left Hedong, Zhang Baiqi took charge of the Linfen line.
He told Li Hong what had happened, and then said angrily: "The imperial court is too disrespectful, treating the soldiers of the military tun as cattle and horses, and exploiting them at will, if this continues, the northern Xinjiang will be chaotic sooner or later." Li Hong saw his angry eyes, very excited, hurriedly smiled and comforted him, and then asked, "Hasn't Juntun been very good in the past few years?" The imperial court revised the policy of military tun? ”
"The soldiers used to be very miserable, you know." Zhang Baiqi said,
"They plough the fields when they are busy with farming, and cultivate the land and build canals when they are not farming. In addition, you have to train, you have to defend, you have to repair the galloping roads of the city, and sometimes you have to go to war. When is there a time of year? Part of the grain harvested in the military cantonment area was handed over, part was kept for personal use, and a small part was distributed to individual soldiers. The soldiers are busy all year round, and there is no surplus at all except for a full stomach. ”
"It's been planted for four years. The loss of soil power is serious, and the harvest is not as good as the year. In the past, the general reduced the amount of grain we handed in every year, asking us to first ensure that the soldiers were fed and clothed, but what about this year? This year, the general left us alone and threw us to the court that is not bullshit. These bastards don't understand anything, and instead of reducing the amount of grain they turn in, they have increased, not even a little more. If we turn in the amount they demanded, we won't be able to eat or drink this year. Li Hong's face suddenly turned ugly,
"The imperial court is now ruled by Lord Zhao Qi, and he has been in charge of Mintun for so many years, doesn't he know?"
"Mintun? Mintun has turned the world upside down, doesn't the general know? Zhang Baiqi stood up excitedly, waved his hands and said,
"Zhao Qi is too old to be of any use. He was completely hollowed out by the ** ministers from Chang'an, and he spoke like a fart. Now it is the Eldest Princess's Mansion that is in charge, and it is the ** pigtails who have the final say. They teamed up to deceive the little princess, and the child didn't understand anything, and when he was forced to cry by the ministers, it was useless. Li Hong wanted to laugh when he remembered the eldest princess's eyes opening timidly and tears pouring down her face.
Alas, poor child.
"Bang ......" Zhang Baiqi smashed his fist on the desk, and his eyes were about to crack.
"General, you can still laugh, this time, you can still laugh......"
"Okay, good, good ......" Li Hong laughed and told him again and again,
"I was wrong, I was wrong, you said, you said ......" Suddenly he remembered something, pointed to Zhang Baiqi and asked,
"Did you go to Longshan and have a big fight?" Zhang Baiqi blushed, pointed to his nose and said, "If it weren't for the 100,000 brothers here, I would have cut them with a knife." Then he cursed hatefully and continued,
"Of course, if I didn't have these 100,000 brothers, they would have cut me down. At that time, the boss was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at me, and he wanted to cut me off. Later, Zhong Yuan (Li Wei) came and pulled me out of Longshan. ”
"So, the Tuntian soldiers gathered to make trouble, and you instigated it behind your back?" Li Hong said with a smile,
"As long as Li Zhongyuan appears, there must be no good thing."
"General......" Zhang Baiqi roared loudly,
"What the hell do you mean? Is it a dead man, things are out of control, and you are powerful? Li Hong stood up and stroked Zhang Baiqi's back again and again,
"Brother Ziyin, dissipate the gas, dissipate the gas. Do you know who else invited me back this time besides you? ”
"I heard that the imperial court has issued an order, and the eldest princess personally invites you to return to Longshan to preside over the overall situation." Zhang Baiqi saw that Li Hong had been looking leisurely, and suddenly realized,
"So, neither Lord Xian Yu nor Zhong Yuan wrote to you? The eldest princess and the court have been forced by them to be unable to support it, so they have to ask you to come back? Li Hong smiled,
"We've been together for four or five years, and it's the first time I've seen you get so angry."
"To be honest, if there is only that holy decree, I will not come back for the time being, because neither Yu Xing (Xian Yufu) nor Zhong Yuan has given me a word. Obviously, the affairs of the northern Xinjiang are still under their control. Li Hong pulled Zhang Baiqi to sit down and continued,
"The matter of Luoyang is much more important than the matter of the northern frontier, Zhong Yuan obviously knows that I may not come back, so he borrowed your hand to plan a turmoil in the military tun, which can not only expand the situation and threaten the imperial court, but also urge me to return quickly." Zhang Baiqi was slightly apologetic,
"Zhong Yuan is also for the Northern Frontier, for the general. You haven't been in Jinyang for a year since you presided over the overall situation, do you know what happened in Northern Xinjiang? If you don't come back, Northern Xinjiang will be over, and I will go back to Taihang Mountain. Li Hong laughed,
"If you run away, I'll go up to Taihang Mountain and drag you back, haha......" October, Jizhou, Yecheng.
As soon as Yuan Shao returned to Yecheng, he received an urgent letter from Gongsun Zhan. Gongsun Chan urged Bohai County. In August of this year, Yu Poison and Zhenggu reorganized their forces and launched another attack on Wei County.
Yuan Shao, Han Qiong, and Pan Feng immediately led the army to meet the enemy. After receiving Yuan Shao's order, Hanoi Taishou Wang Kuang and Zhang Yang immediately led the newly recruited 5,000 troops to launch an attack on the area of Montenegro and Lugushan in order to contain the fierce offensive of the Montenegrin Yellow Turban Army in the direction of Jizhou.
At the same time, Yanzhou Mu Liu Dai, Dongjun Taishou Cao Cao, Jibei Xiang Bao Xin and other state and county officials also gathered troops and fought a series of bloody battles with Sima Ju, the commander of the Yellow Turban Army, in Dongjun and Jibei, intending to cut off the connection between Sima Ju and Xu He, so as to help Gongsun Zhan kill the Yellow Turban Army in the Bohai Sea and Ganling Kingdom.
At this time, in the area of Beihai Kingdom, Taishan County and Langya County, the leaders of the Yellow Turban Army, Guan Cheng and Guan Hai, led the army and several official troops to fight fiercely to contain the troops in the direction of Xuzhou to support the north.
After Gongsun Zhan helped Yuan Shao occupy Jizhou, he immediately asked him for Bohai County. Yuan Shao's answer was very simple, I had just taken charge of Bohai County, and I needed time to stabilize and pacify the counties of Jizhou.
Please wait a while. Gongsun Zhan didn't suspect anything, and led his army to fight a battle with Xu He in the south of Dongwu City in Ganling Kingdom, and lost.
In this battle, he also had to deal with Yuan Shao. Since Yuan Shao promised to give him Bohai County, of course he had to protect his home first.
Gongsun Chan then put his main force in the Nanpi area of Bohai County to resist the Yellow Turban Army. Xu and the Overseers rushed forward and prepared to attack Anpingguo, but Qinghe held them back.
The Qinghe River was very wide, and the Yellow Turban Army had no means to cross the river, and the county soldiers of Gongsun Zhan, Ganling and Anping desperately blocked it, and the river crossing failed repeatedly.
By September, Xu He changed the direction of his attack, and he commanded his army to follow the Qing River eastward and attack Bohai County.
Gongsun Zhan once again wrote to Yuan Shao. I have blocked the Yellow Turban Army south of the Qinghe River, and the Yellow Turban Army saw that there was no hope of going north, so they went to Bohai County.
Why don't you give me Bohai County right away? Gongsun Zhan means that Bohai County is still your Yuan Shao's, if you don't give it to me again, I won't guard it for you, let the Yellow Turban Army burn and kill and plunder, and see who will suffer the most in the end.
Yuan Shao immediately replied to Gongsun Zhan, I was being poisoned, and I was beaten to a great deal and retreated. Can you send troops to help me?
He didn't even mention the matter of Bohai County. Yuan Shao ate Gongsun Chan, he was not afraid that Gongsun Chan would not contribute. Bohai County was occupied by the Yellow Turban Army, and it was your Gongsun Zhan who suffered in the end.
Gongsun Chan was helpless and led the army to attack. As early as May, Wu Ba, the leader of the Yellow Turban Army, led more than 100,000 people from Pingyuan County in Qingzhou to cross the river to the north, but they did not have enough troops and did not dare to attack Jizhou.
The Taishou of Pingyuan County led the army to attack, and Shuang'an fought back and forth for several months, but the Taishou Lord died in battle, and the rest of the army was led by Liu Bei, the then Gao Tang Order, and continued to fight.
After the Yellow Turban Army returned to Mount Tai last winter, Liu Bei was moved to the county lieutenant of Gaotang County, Pingyuan County, by Yuan Shao because of his meritorious service in quelling the rebellion.
After the resurgence of the Yellow Turban Army in the spring of this year, the Gaotang County Commander fled, so Liu Bei took more than 1,000 people with the Taishou to defeat the Yellow Turban Army as the Gao Tang Commander.
After the death of Lord Taishou, there were few troops left, Liu Bei was defeated repeatedly, and just when he was about to cross the river and return to Gaotang County to hold on, things suddenly changed.
Wu Ba was overjoyed when he learned that Xu He was coming to Bohai County, and immediately commanded a large army to invade Bohai County.
Xu He and Wu Ba went hand in hand, one left and one right, killing Gongsun Zhan breathlessly. At the beginning of October, Gongsun Chan faced the Yellow Turban Army in Nanpi.
When the fierce battle was in full swing, the rear of the Yellow Turban Army was suddenly in chaos, Liu Bei led a team of men and horses to fight into the middle battle, and Guan Yu cut off the Yellow Turban Army's Daxu with a knife.
The Yellow Turban Army was in a state of confusion, and immediately retreated quickly under the command of Xu He and Wu Ba. After Gongsun Chan saw Liu Bei, he was surprised and delighted, and the two sides exchanged pleasantries, and Gongsun Chan left Liu Bei behind.
"Our brothers kill the enemy together and build a great cause." While ordering the army to pursue the Yellow Turban Army, Gongsun Zhan urgently wrote to Yuan Shao for the third time to ask for Bohai County.
Yuan Shao and Yu Poison had just finished fighting at this time, and when they returned to the city to reorganize the army, he said to the trial very helplessly: "Gongsun Zan is urging so urgently, how can it be good?" The judge smiled and said: "My lord replied to the book, saying that because General Gongsun did not save him when he saw death, my army was defeated and returned to Yecheng." In order to keep Yecheng, I am asking the general of the town army, Ko Yi, for help, and this matter will be discussed later. Yuan Shao hesitated: "Is it too early to take the initiative to ask the Northern Xinjiang Army for help now?" The judge shook his hand and said, "Not early, not early." If the adults don't ask for help, it is estimated that Gongsun Chan will be killed in Yecheng. After receiving the letter, Gongsun Chan sneered,
"Want to trick me? Look for death. He immediately summoned all the generals and ordered all his troops to slow down the pursuit and lure the Yellow Turbans to stop.
"We will fight to the death with the Yellow Turbans." In mid-October, the Yellow Turban Army stopped at Dongguang (present-day Cangzhou, Hebei) and fought again.
Gongsun Chan commanded the army to meet the confrontation, and the battle was about to break out. Gongsun Zhan wrote to Yuan Shao for the fourth time, I am about to defeat the Yellow Turban Army, can you give me Bohai County?
Chun Yu Qiong anxious to write Yuan Shao, at the beginning of this month, Dong Zhuo sent a large army out of Tongguan and stormed the west. Long Xiang general Xu Rong, Zhichong general Yushi, and Hulie general Yan Liang successively led the army to block, and now the two sides are fighting fiercely in the area of Candlewater, but the hussar general hurriedly returned to Jinyang at this critical moment.
It is said that there was an accident in both the military tun and the mintun in northern Xinjiang, and the eldest princess ordered the hussar general to return to Jinyang immediately and preside over the overall situation.
Yuan Shao was overjoyed, and immediately wrote to Gongsun Zhan, Bohai County belongs to the Han Kingdom, not my Yuan Shao's private, why should I give it to you?
The general is arrogant, arrogant, and arrogant, and bends the law, and will surely exterminate the clan in the future. I advise the general that after this battle is over, it is better to go back to Youzhou as soon as possible.
In addition, let me tell you one more thing, your younger brother Gongsun Yue was killed by Yan Liang and Tian Chou of the Northern Frontier Army outside Yangzhai City, and your two thousand iron horsemen were also killed by them.
If you want to trouble me, you'd better think about the hussar general Li Hong first, and then think about the town army general Lu Yi who garrisoned Handan City.
If you dare to attack me, I will unite with the Northern Frontier Army, skin you and cramp, crush your bones and scatter ashes, and let you die without a place to be buried.
