Chapter 11 The Loss of Donglai [Happy National Day!] 】
Despite what was expected, the war began sooner than anyone had imagined.
When Tian Yu's fleet set off from Wenxian in eastern Liaodong by storming the wind and waves, Lu Weihuang of the Bohai Sea Army led more than 40 warships, and formed a huge fleet to arrive in Donglai, almost devastating and raiding the coast of Huangxian County, seizing the port, and several Yan warships sailed away from the coast under the control of a small number of soldiers, but were besieged by more Bohai Sea troops and scuttled the warships.
More than 10 Yan's warships were captured by the Bohai Sea Army and put into the mission of blockading Huangxian, and then under the leadership of the Yan's warships, more than 20 Bohai warships braved the wind and waves to attack Nanchangshan Island, setting off a monstrous war on the sea!
The defenders of the Yan clan in Huangxian County did not even have time to organize resistance, and the warships docked in the port sank and looted. The two military marquis in Huangxian County were even caught off guard, and the former general they were loyal to only negotiated peace with Yuan Che of Bohai in the middle of the month, and they had no enemies in the whole sea except for Tao Qian in Xuzhou, and the warships in Xuzhou did not dare to sail to the Qingzhou range, and many people did not even know who the enemy was, so they were confused and made ghosts under the knife.
Several charges in succession, they need to face the enemy far more than the number they assembled, the Huangxian sailors who lost their warships and bruised their sharpness have no fighting spirit, and the remaining more than 600 people led by the military marquis retreated into the Huangxian Chengchi to hold on, relying on the advantage of the city to repel the enemy's several charges, and hurriedly sent a horse to report to Jizhou...... No one was more frightened than the messenger cavalry, just out of the north of Donglai to Le'an country, he saw the Yuan army marching in the Bohai Sea everywhere, he was used to being a sailor he had not seen such a scene for many years, and he didn't even dare to take a breath out of the atmosphere when he got into the forest.
When the cavalry stepped forward again, he looked back in the direction of Donglaijun...... The Yuan clan is attacking in a big way, and I'm afraid that those robes in Huangxian County will not be able to hold it.
Yanbei, who was far away in Yecheng, first received the news that Cao Cao's father died in Xuzhou, and then Cao Cao raised troops to attack Xuzhou, threatening to slaughter Xuzhou's father. Yanbei did make a move, but he didn't expect Yuan Shao to have the courage to take Donglai first.
Yecheng battalion, Yanbei urgently recruited all kinds of soldiers and horses to send messengers and horsemen, ordered people to copy several copies of the topographic map, that map is the map of southern Hebei and eastern Yanzhou, this time is the best time for him to recuperate, all the princes are dragged by the affairs at hand, no one wants to tease his tiger whiskers at this time, but he can take this opportunity to do a lot of things.
Recently, Yanbei has been staying in Yecheng to deal with his affairs, with the talent of Qiang Ji and the talents of various capable officials under his command, it is not difficult for him to govern the two states, every morning and evening letters and cases from all over the country are sent to the front, and the rest of the time is sometimes to practice martial arts and deduce the battle situation, more often...... He was busy drinking and having fun.
The envoy sent by Zhang Yan of Montenegro was his old acquaintance, Luo Shi. followed Luo Shi to Yecheng as a guest, as well as Yang Feng, the captain of Montenegro, and others; The Baibo Army, which was far away in Hedong, also sent an envoy Li Le, bringing respect to the orthodoxy of the Baibo Valley and the Southern Xiongnu.
Everyone in the world has something to ask for, Yanbei needs a soldier who can fight for it like the Wuhuan people in case of trouble, and the Black Mountain, Baibo, and Southern Xiongnu, who have many enemies, are in order to form a good fate, hoping that one day they can have no worries in the north.
Judging from the current situation, there is no doubt that Yanbei after defeating Gongsun Chan is the most powerful prince in the north, and the rest of them, whether they are Montenegro or Baibo, although they do not rely on their snorts, if they want to keep their own one-third of an acre of land and befriend the Yan family, it has become a necessary exchange.
Yanbei once thought that there were always thousands of choices in this world, if you can't be a prince, you will be a general, and if you can't be a general, you can retreat and claim to yourself, or be a rich man with peace of mind like before. But sometimes this is not the case, once you embark on the road, it is difficult to turn back, and there are some things that you can not do if you don't want to do it.
The dusty rider crossed the river through the plain, knocked on the gate of Yecheng, and entered the hall of Yanbei through all the difficulties and dangers.
"General, Donglai, Donglai is lost!"
For a while, Yanbei hadn't reacted yet, Donglai? After a short period of astonishment, he remembered that there was another county in Qingzhou that belonged to him, which was Tai Shici's hometown, Donglai County, Qingzhou. His expressionless face was mistaken by others for the unfathomable Gujing Wubo, but only he knew his gaffe, how could Donglai County miss, and who could compete with his huge fleet in the entire vast sea?
"What's going on, speak slowly, carefully, I'll listen."
The messenger rider was full of grievances, and after seeing Yanbei, his huge emotions turned into tears, which made this Youzhou Han'er, who grew up in Wenxian County, Liaodong, weep, and attacked the Bohai Navy from the coast in 1510, destroying and robbing all the warships they were stationed in the port of Huangxian, and then successively thwarted the hastily assembled Huangxian garrison on the coast, and finally forced them into the city to occupy all the countryside.
There are also what he saw and heard on the way to the message, tens of thousands of Bohai soldiers and horses crossed the Yellow River and rushed to the unguarded counties of Qingzhou, and even witnessed the opening of the city of Qingzhou to let the Bohai Navy enter the city, and then the hated Yuan banner was hung at the head of the city.
"They are all calculating, Qinghe Lu Bu is calculating Yanzhou Cao Cao, Yanzhou Cao Cao is calculating Xuzhou Tao Qian, Bohai Yuan Shao is calculating Qingzhou Liu Bei, they are all calculating." Yan Bei's delicate wine vessel for Zhenbing was suspended in the air, and he turned his head to Han Fu, Luo Shi, Huang Long, Li Le and others during the banquet and smiled bitterly, slowly put down the wine vessel and said, "I still count Yan." ”
The time of Yuan Shao's attack was too accurate, the time was already past August, although it was the hot season, but now all parts of Youzhou have begun to prepare for wintering, rushing to make winter clothes and quilts, strengthen the houses, and the next month will be busy farming. At this time, he can fight for a maximum of three months, and whether he wants to or not, he will be stopped by the cold winter.
What's more, if it weren't for the luck of the messenger rider, I was afraid that by the time he received the news, it was almost winter!
"I see, you should sit down and have some food, and then freshen up and sleep well in our camp for a day and a night. I will avenge the death of the robe; Their orphans, I will take care of them. Qingzhou's affairs are with me, so don't worry. Yan Bei closed his eyes, raised his head and took a slow breath, and said, "Pass my general order and ask General Gao, how long will it take to demolish Nanpi City?" ”
"Convene the generals to deliberate, order the whole army to be prepared, and order Zhao Yun and Wang Men to lead Chang Shan to go south to Liyang, and ask Sun Zong to take my seal letter to Xuzhou and tell Cao Cao that there is a debtor and a master, and he wants to avenge his father to kill Tao Qian, how can the people of Xuzhou be innocent?"
