Chapter Forty-Six: Sending Reinforcements Quickly
Let's go!
The frozen snow on the road melted, and the sergeants of Yanbei wore thick winter coats before changing into Youzhou, and the soldiers and horses of the brigade closed the spiral gate and went straight to Luoyang. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Muddy roads will slow down the march of soldiers and horses, but muddy roads are also a little good for Yanbei...... It is said that most of the soldiers and horses commanded by LĂź Bu were cavalry, and the muddy ground would cause him more trouble.
Sun Qing and Su Fuyan recruited a number of soldiers in Yin in Henan Province last winter, and the more than 200 scouts who survived the battle with Huaxiong's subordinates taught these villagers how to do the important job of a scout auxiliary, and as the vanguard of the pass, they entered the pass to investigate the enemy after the snow stopped.
The vanguard is naturally two other units with only more than 1,000 foot soldiers led by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and behind them are Bao Xin and Cao Cao's two troops and horses spread out to the northwest and southwest.
Wait for the vanguard to open one day, and the real Chinese army will be released...... Yanbei took Tai Shici, Li Damu, Jiang Jin and others, and sent Gao Lan Yan Zhao Wushi and Zhao Yun Jiao to the Hou City as the main army, with the goal of holding the south of Yanshi City; The headquarters of the Yiling of Lu and Zhao Wei and Sun Du Liaoying went straight to Gongxian County and settled in the east of Yanshi City...... Most of the Duliao battalions were new soldiers, and their combat strength was still weak, and they were not responsible for the war, but only to coordinate the Kwantung people's husbands to escort heavy grain and grass.
After defeating Lu Bu, Luoyang was 200 miles of red land and scorched earth, and the logistics materials needed for their tens of thousands of soldiers and horses could be described as huge.
At the same time, according to the agreement, Sun Jian's troops marched north to march north to Xu Rong after resting throughout the winter; On the other hand, the dusty Gongsun Zhan commanded the warriors who accompanied him to fight in the Kanto region, and went straight to Wenxian, Heyang and other places; There are also Yang Feng and Luan Ti Yufu Luo of Wangwu Mountain, who also sent their soldiers and horses south, and released the stragglers from Baibo Valley to try to attack the road from Tongguan to Hangu Pass, creating pressure on Hangu Pass.
In distant Qingzhou, Liu Bei, who had just recruited 5,000 new soldiers, left behind his Qingzhou assassination history, raised the banner of begging Dong and hurried towards the revolving gate pass.
In an instant, Yanbei's coalition army of Dong joined forces close to 100,000, and there was a sensation.
Needless to say, the 100,000 soldiers and horses, the largest number of troops is naturally Yang Feng from the Baibo Valley, he holds more than 30,000 Yellow Turban Yu Dang who have experienced several bloody battles, and captured a lot of broken ordnance in the previous battle with Niu Fu, the combat power can not be underestimated, in addition to the elite soldiers of the Bai Bo Yu Party, he also has Luan Ti Yuvro of the Southern Huns by his side, nearly 10,000 Hun cavalry are also extraordinary in their skills, which can be described as elite soldiers.
However, although Yang Feng had a lot of soldiers and horses, they were thieves before, and they couldn't take advantage of this battle for political prestige, so they couldn't pose any threat to Yanbei's alliance leadership, not to mention ...... Yang Feng and the others held the seal of General Duliao, who was only a subordinate of Yanbei in name.
The army is slightly inferior to Yanbei, with nearly 10,000 troops in his headquarters and 7,000 in Luyi, plus Cao Cao and Bao Xin, who are now working together with him, the number of troops that can be directly controlled has exceeded 30,000. What's more, in terms of combat power, his army has been tested for a long time and is a well-deserved strong army in the Kwantung region.
As for Gongsun Zhan and Sun Jian, they both have more than 10,000 people, but one has the power of a great victory to break through the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, and the other has beheaded Hu Zhen, and their high combat power is obvious to all.
To put it bluntly, aside from Yanbei, Sun Jian, Cao Cao and others who were among the coalition forces before, this coalition army against Dong is now the alliance that can really compete with the Xiliang military group led by Dong Zhuo. Although the number of troops is less than before, the combat power has increased exponentially!
The heroes and warriors in the world, whether they have been famous for a long time or have no prestige, at this moment, they are all gathered in the important place of Guanzhong, no matter which camp they are in, they will ignite the most fierce war in this era.
Of course, this is their last effort for the sake of justice, fame, and prestige.
But behind the scenes, everyone doesn't seem to be so glamorous. Gongsun Zhan appointed Liu Bei as the assassin of Qingzhou, which can be regarded as his temptation of the princes from all walks of life, but now at this time, Yanbei, who has the ability to find trouble for him, can't compete with him for Qingzhou, and he can't make people who want to find trouble for him, and they don't threaten his strength; Yuan Shu occupied Nanyang County, the richest county in Jingzhou, and with the full support of Sun Jian, he served as the assassin of Yuzhou, and almost forced Liu Biao, the assassin of Jingzhou sent by Dong Zhuo, to have no way out.
What kind of ghost place did Jingzhou become after killing Wang Rui on Sun Jian's road! In the north, there are Yuan Shutun troops, occupying Luyang, Xinye and Zhouzhi Wancheng; The southern Su Dynasty led Changsha Taishou, and Bei Yu appointed himself as the chief of Huarong, each according to the militia, in addition to these puppet officials, there are countless sect thieves...... The so-called clan thieves are the powerful clans in various places, and at this time, they have disobeyed the orders of the superiors and have their own small territories.
Where else can Liu Biao go? He could only run to Xiangyang by himself, and bitterly found two relatively strong people among the local thieves to attract foreign aid. Riding into Jingzhou alone is certainly a good story, but in fact, where is it not a helpless expedient measure?
On the other side, Yuan Shao, although he was dissatisfied that he was only in Bohai County, had no way to deal with Jizhou Mu Hanfu, who had the support of Yanbei, so he turned his attention to Yuzhou and Yanzhou.
In these years, the scene before the chaos in the world is miserable in the eyes of some people, but in the eyes of others, it is also a magnificent scene that can show their talents.
When the Kwantung princes who had retired or had no legs were planning how to divide the Kwantung territory with their own intentions, Yan Bei's movements in his heart were actually not much slower than them, he had already chosen a territory for himself, and no one could take it away.
Counting the days, Lelang guards Zhang Qi should have been imprisoned in Xiangping County, right? Yanbei hoped that the jailers in the county would be too protective of the old Lelang who listened to Yuan Shao's words, at least let him eat half full, and then spread more thatch on the ground, and when the matter of Lelang County was certain, he could be released...... After all, starving to death is also contrary to the reputation of a Taishou to pass it out.
In the general environment, how much better can Yanbei be than others? He just doesn't want to mess around in this part of the Central Plains, so many princes in the Central Plains are staring at Yan, Ji, Qing, and Xu, and he is a general in a border area, even if he has that heart, it is not so easy to win just by relying on strong soldiers.
He didn't want to learn from Gongsun Zhan, Gongsun Zhan is now about to completely break away from Youzhou, and his soldiers and horses are all spread in places like the sea in the east of Jizhou and the Qingzhou Plain, as if he wants to get rid of Liu Yu's influence. But Gongsun Zhan's situation was the same as his, so he rashly used his military might to appoint Liu Bei, the assassin of Qingzhou, to test the reaction of others.
The step is too big...... Sooner or later, you will be beaten.
As for the land that Yanbei wants, it is the hometown of the four Han counties in the north of the entire empire - with Liaodong as the center, first cleaning up Gongsun Du of Xuansu County and Zhang Qi of Lelang County, and then trying to find ways to profit from the war between Buyeo and Goguryeo, and then in the old enemy of the northern empire Xianbei to support the eastern lord Suli, persistently befriend the Wuhuan people, and slowly try to expand to the territory of the north, south and east of Youzhou.
At that time, whether Gongsun Chan wants it or not, he will take Liaoxi, Youbeiping, and Yuyang into his pocket.
As for the subsequent strategic planning, it will depend on the future situation in the world, but the two directions of Jizhou by land and Qingzhou by land will not change no matter what.
Compared to this, like Gongsun Chan, he cut off his own power and stretched out his hand so long when he couldn't fully control the land under his feet...... Yanbei is not optimistic about this kind of domineering that knows the princes of the world as if they were nothing.
Speaking of which, in addition to using Gongsun Zhan's troops, Yu Yanbei also had the idea of dragging Gongsun Chan to come by inviting Gongsun Chan to come by forming the Dong Coalition Army. After all, today, Gongsun Chan is the only one who has the ability and motivation to have a military conflict with the main force in Yanbei in the north.
Although using Dong's fame to lure him into this war will not have much impact on the actions behind him, as long as he can hold him down, more than 10,000 elite soldiers will be enough for Yanbei. A place like Gongsun Chan is strong, and if there are no soldiers, nothing can be done in this world.
But Yanbei is different, his actions in Youzhou and Jizhou over the years have given him a preliminary foundation, and his rule in Liaodong can also provide great convenience for the actions of Fu Zhi and others. He sent a letter back, and Fu Zhi and the others were able to rely on the power of Liaodong County and the right time to clean up Zhang Qi of Lelang County, and with the help of Yanbei's prestige and a few troops in the county, eighty percent of them were able to set the overall situation of Yandong as Lelang's guard.
Gongsun Zhan's stupid brothers who only knew how to rob the Wuhuan people of grain and grass like grass in Liaoxi did they have such a ability?
Now Gongsun Chan is on the right flank as one of the armies that are directly attacking Luoyang, and in a quiet moment, Gongsun Bogui, who is busy showing the world bravery, has actually given up the advantage of Liaoxi County.
Even if his younger brother wanted to attack Liaodong County with Gongsun Du, it was useless, since Han Fu intercepted the letter and sent it to Yanbei, he also ordered someone to transcribe a fast horse and send it to Liaodong Taishou. With foreshadowing, frustration should be able to hold up, right?
The actual situation in Liaodong County is far more difficult than what Yanbei knows, how much information can Gongsun Yue reveal in a letter? At least he didn't know about Zhang Jaw, and the people who were placed next to Gongsun Du who might turn into assassins at any time and take his head were now under Zhang Jaw's orders, and he didn't know about these things.
Therefore, this raid, which was still in preparation, and the news had already leaked, was not taken seriously by Yanbei.
His attention was still to drag Gongsun Chan and fight Dong Zhuo.
The front-line scout Pegasus reported that east of Yanshi City, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who were the vanguard, encountered Zhang Liao and others who led the troops and horses sent by Lu Bu, and there was a battle. Guan Yu sent a horse to deliver a message from the return, and quickly sent reinforcements!
