In the autumn of 200 A.D., Emperor Zhu Wei of the Ming Dynasty personally conquered Youzhou, and the army was claimed to be 500,000.

Of course, the so-called 500,000 troops are just imaginary numbers, in fact, this time Zhu Wei's northern expedition to Youzhou, in addition to the 20,000 Tianyu Battalion of the Chinese Army directly under him, brought Pang Yan, Huang Zhong, Tai Shici, and Wei Yan to the expedition together.

And when he arrived at Nanpi in Yizhou, Zhu Wei would also bring more than 20,000 cavalry from the Feiqi battalion of Zhang Liao's subordinate who were temporarily stationed here to guard against the three Yuan brothers.

In this way, Zhu Wei's Northern Expeditionary Army finally dispatched about 140,000 regular troops, plus about 20,000 craftsmen and logistics auxiliaries, in fact, the total is about 160,000.

In addition, this time Zhu Wei drove the Northern Expedition, with Jia Xu and Tian Feng as the main and deputy military divisions, in addition to Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Xu Shu, Sun Quan and other younger generations to serve as staff officers and other positions.

Among them, Pang Tong was deliberately transferred by Zhu Wei from Zulang in the southwest, and for this reason, Zhu Wei also replaced Pang Tong with Lu Su, who was originally in the southern camp of Huang Zhonghuai, and served as the chief historian of Zulang's new Yu Qian battalion.

This also means that Zhu Wei's policy in the southwest will focus on pacification, rather than provoking barbarian infighting in order to increase the local population.

Of course, compared to Lu Su's ability, Pang Tong is more suitable for planning on the battlefield, plus Pang Tong also has a lot of experience in dealing with foreign races in the southwest, and now he is transferring Pang Tong to his side, and he is also using his experience to deal with Wuhuan and Xianbei people.

As for Luoyang, there are Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong, who are cabinet auxiliary ministers to take care of them, and there will be no problems for the time being.

However, on Luoyang's side, in fact, Wang Yuyan is secretly presiding over the overall situation, anyway, Zhu Wei already has his eldest son Zhu Ding, although he is less than a year old now, but Wang Yuyan can rely on Zhu Ding to remotely control the situation in Luoyang.

Relatively speaking, Zhu Wei believes in Wang Yuyan more, although this seems to have a bit of the meaning of harem politics, but Wang Yuyan herself is capable, Zhu Wei will inevitably go on many expeditions in the future, so only Wang Yuyan can make Zhu Wei feel at ease with the rear.

Well, these are not much nonsense, just say that after the news of Zhu Wei's personal expedition to Youzhou spread, the three brothers Yuan Shang, Yuan Xi, and Yuan Tan in Youzhou finally couldn't sit still.

Now Yuan Tan is stationed in Zhuo County, Fanyang County, which can be regarded as at the forefront of Zhu Wei's Northern Expedition, while Yuan Shang is stationed in Yuyang County, which is relatively at the rear.

But Yuan Tan's subordinates only had seven or eight thousand troops, where could they stop Zhu Wei's so-called 500,000 troops from attacking, so Yuan Tan immediately withdrew his troops under the pretext of going to Xianbei to support, and went to look for the Xianbei royal court.

The combined strength of Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang here is only less than 30,000, and seeing Yuan Tan fleeing at this time, although they are also a little afraid of Zhu Wei's 500,000 army, they are still unwilling to give up the land of Youzhou directly after all.

So the two contacted the Wuhuan tribe who were familiar with each other, borrowed 30,000 Wuhuan cavalry from the Wuhuan people, and then took the initiative to go to Zhuo County, Fanyang County, to prepare to meet Zhu Wei's army.

It's just that although Zhu Wei's side also gathered a large army for the Northern Expedition, at the suggestion of Jia Xu and Tian Feng, Zhu Wei still sent an order to Gongsun Du in Liaodong first, asking Gongsun Du to lead troops to attack from the left rear flank of Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi's army, and at the same time, Zhu Wei also asked Ma Teng to contact the Wuhuan tribe he was familiar with and launch an attack from the right rear flank of Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi's army.

As for Zhu Wei's army, it slowed down the speed of going north, although it also entered the territory of Fanyang County in Youzhou, but it only slowly approached Zhuo County, attracting the attention of Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi.

On the one hand, this is a heart-digging tactic, and on the other hand, it is also a test for the Wuhuan tribe contacted by Gongsun Du and Ma Teng.

Since Zhu Wei's army has come to Youzhou, it is natural to completely bring Youzhou under the control of the Central Plains, so it is naturally impossible for the Gongsun family of Liaodong to regard Liaodong as their own back garden.

Therefore, if Gongsun Du is acquainted this time, it is best to listen to Zhu Wei's call, and then accept Zhu Wei's control of Liaodong, otherwise Zhu Wei will not mind taking the army to Liaodong by the way, and it will be difficult to say whether the Gongsun clan of Liaodong can exist at that time.

As for the Wuhuan tribe's side, since there are Wuhuan tribes who have helped the Yuan brothers, then Zhu Wei must have other Wuhuan tribes to take a stand, otherwise there is no need for the Wuhuan people to exist in Youzhou, and Zhu Wei does not need a dependent clan to help the rebellious.

As a result, under the strength of Zhu Wei, Liaodong Gongsun Du still took the initiative to send 20,000 troops to attack Yuyang County, and Ma Teng's side also contacted several Wuhuan tribes, and nearly 30,000 Wuhuan cavalry also came, and followed Ma Teng's army to attack Jixian directly.

So before the brothers Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi officially fought with Zhu Weijun in Zhuo County, they received the news that the rear was attacked, and they could only withdraw their troops to Jixian County first, wanting to resist the threat of Ma Teng's army to Jixian.

But just when the two brothers Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi were preparing to retreat with the Wuhuan cavalry, Zhu Wei's side took Zhang Liao's light cavalry as the front and launched a strong attack on the Yuan brothers' army, and the four armies of Pang Yan, Huang Zhong, Tai Shici, and Wei Yan followed at the same time.

So on the way that the two brothers Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi withdrew from Jixian County in Zhuo County, they hurriedly engaged the attacking Zhu Wei army.

Whether it was the 30,000 Wuhuan cavalry borrowed by the Yuan brothers from Wuhuan, or the soldiers of Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi's own troops, they encountered the attack of Zhang Liao's light cavalry in the field, and they were all beaten by the cavalry's kite-like cavalry shooting tactics.

Later, they encountered the repeated killings of the four armies of Pang Yan, Huang Zhong, Tai Shici, and Wei Yan, and the whole army collapsed before they could withdraw to Jixian.

In the end, Yuan Xi encountered the half-armored lancers led by Zhao Yun in the chaotic battle pursued by Zhang Liao's light cavalry, and was picked up by Zhao Yun and fell under the horse with a shot, while Yuan Shang was in the territory of Jixian County, and encountered an ambush by Ma Teng's army, and Yuan Shang was also stabbed to death by Ma's junior general Ma Dai in the chaos.

In this way, the Yuan brothers all died on the battlefield, and their remnants naturally had no intention of resisting again, and Zhu Wei captured Fanyang County, Yanguo County, and Yuyang County without spending any effort.

As for the Wuhuan tribe that sent troops to support the Yuan brothers, Zhu Wei only used the captured Wuhuan cavalry as slave soldiers, and then severely reprimanded the Wuhuan tribe to which the captured Wuhuan cavalry belonged, and let their leaders go to Jixian County to meet Zhu Wei and accept the anger of the Ming Emperor.

However, Zhu Wei didn't really exterminate them, but after some intimidation, he let them go, because Zhu Wei needed to leave them to continue to restrain the rest of the Wuhuan tribe.

Of course, in the future, Zhu Wei will also implement the policy of integrating the Wuhuan people in Youzhou, and slowly integrate these Wuhuan people into the Han ethnic group, and then they will be able to virtually eliminate the existence of the Wuhuan people.

Then Zhu Wei met with Gongsun Du, the Taishou of Liaodong, in Jixian County, and reassured him a few words, that is, he was recruited to join the Northern Expedition Army, and continued to prepare to attack the Xianbei people who accepted Yuan Tan.

At the same time, Zhu Wei sent Wei Yan to take Bi Fangying into the land of Liaodong, and at the same time, Zhu Wei also sent Zhuge Liang to deal with local affairs.

Zhu Wei took advantage of the opportunity of Gongsun Du to bring the main army of Liaodong outside, so that Wei Yan completely took over the military of Liaodong, and then Zhuge Liang used means to transfer the officials of the original counties in Liaodong to Youzhou for use, and then selected a new batch of officials in Liaodong to take office, thus completely disintegrating Gongsun's control over Liaodong.

Of course, Zhu Wei said all this clearly when he met Gongsun Du, but Gongsun Du was in Zhu Wei's tent, how could he dare to have any objections, so he could only pinch his nose and agree.

In fact, Zhu Wei saw that Gongsun Du's loyalty was only in his fifties through the Three Kingdoms game system, and he knew that he didn't really surrender to himself in his heart, so Zhu Wei forcibly rectified Liaodong.

Zhu Wei did this as a test for Gongsun Du again, if Gongsun Du had any changes, then Zhu Wei would simply solve him completely, but Gongsun Du obviously endured everything......
