After more than ten days of rapid march, Li Xiang and Lu Zhi's army finally arrived at Chenliu.
However, this time Li Xiang and Lu Zhi only led 70,000 troops, including 40,000 cavalry and 30,000 infantry. As for the remaining 20,000 to 30,000 troops, this time although the Han army was eager to pursue Zhang Jiao and Support Huangfu Song, but Jizhou cannot ignore it.
Jizhou was defeated by Zhang Jiao before and only one Wei county was left. Now after Zhang Jiao's defeat, although there are still yellow scarves circulating in the counties and counties in Jizhou, they are just small remnants and nothing to be afraid of. Naturally, the Han army will A small force was left to recapture the remaining counties in Jizhou.
"Ziqian." Lu Zhi and Li Xiang's army had just arrived, and Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, who were waiting at the city gate, immediately stepped forward excitedly.
Although Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun and Lu Zhi had a close relationship with each other, under normal circumstances, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun would not show such excitement in public.
But during these days, under the pressure of the Yellow Turbans, the Han army retreated step by step. However, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun could not think of a way to deal with this situation. Over time, both of them had more gray hair on their temples. A big wisp.
At first, when they heard that Lu Zhi had defeated Zhang Jiao in Jizhou and that the Han army in Jizhou would come to support them soon, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Moreover, affected by the Jizhou War and Zhang Jiao's defeat in Yanzhou, the Yellow Turbans also slowed down their offensive, and began to stop in Yanzhou East County, Jiyin and other counties. It is not known whether it was to reorganize the army and rest for the next round of offensive, or to prepare for the next round of offensive. Waiting for the arrival of Zhang Jiao who was defeated in Yanzhou.
Then, the Han army in Yanzhou was given a chance to breathe, and Huangfu Song also took the opportunity to retreat to Chenliu and start setting up the next line of defense.
It is precisely for this reason that when Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun 1 saw Lu Zhi's arrival, they were so excited that they couldn't control themselves.
Of course, Lu Zhi's previous situation was not much better than that of Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, and was even worse. If Li Xiang and several other troops had not successively supported him, and after several battles, Li Xiang had weakened the Jizhou Yellow Turbans' troops to the limit, otherwise , Lu Zhi couldn’t win that battle either.
Therefore, Lu Zhi felt the same way about Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun. He forgot about etiquette for a while, grabbed the hands of Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun and said excitedly, "Yi Zhen, Gong Wei."
Li Xiang did not bother him about the obnoxious behavior of the three people next to him, Lu Zhi. Of course, it was not easy to bother him. In terms of seniority, these three people could be regarded as his elders.
After a long time, Lu Zhi finally regained some consciousness. He gradually got rid of the excitement of meeting several people and remembered Li Xiang's existence.
"Yizhen, Gongwei, I'm here to introduce you two. This is the newly appointed Huben Zhonglang General Li Xiang and General Li." Lu Zhi's face straightened, and then he introduced to Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun.
After Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun heard what Lu Zhi said, they also put away the excitement on their faces, stepped forward, cupped their fists and saluted, "General Li."
To say that the one who has spread the most widely these days is Li Xiang. After all, Li Xiang defeated many with less in Jizhou several times, directly or indirectly annihilating the Yellow Turban army of two to three hundred thousand troops. It can be said that the entire battle in Jizhou, and even The entire war situation in the world has changed because of Li Xiang.
And not only Li Xiang himself, but also the generals under Li Xiang began to make a name for themselves, including Xue Rengui, whose ability to command troops even Lu Zhi was ashamed of, and Xue Rengui, who was known as the strongest general in the world together with Chi You. Xingtian.
Therefore, although Li Xiang is still young, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun do not dare to neglect him at all.
Seeing that Lu Zhi and the others finally thought of him, Li Xiang breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that these people would get bored here.
"General Huangfu, General Zhu." Li Xiang also immediately saluted Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun.
"System, check the attributes of Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun."
Li Xiang was naturally also very curious about the abilities of Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, who were ranked as the three most famous generals of the late Han Dynasty with Lu Zhi.
"Ding, Huangfu Song, the peak commander is 93, the force is 86, the intelligence is 80, and the politics is 76. Currently Huangfu Song has reached the peak of his four dimensions."
"Ding, Zhu Jun, the peak commander is 90, the force is 89, the intelligence is 76, and the politics is 72. Currently, Zhu Jun has reached the peak in four dimensions."
The abilities of Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun did not exceed Li Xiang's expectations. However, Zhu Jun's ability was obviously inferior to that of Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song, and the commander had only just reached 90.
After arriving in Yanzhou now, Li Xiang still felt a little excited. Among the three heroes of the late Han Dynasty, Li Xiang had already met Liu Bei in Jizhou before. Now, the remaining Sun Jian and Cao Cao are finally going to show up.
However, for some reason, Li Xiang did not see Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun behind them.
"Perhaps it's because of the tension of the war that the two of them are still in charge of defense." Li Xiang, who had not yet seen Sun Jian and Cao Cao, secretly guessed.
With the arrival of the armies of Li Xiang and Lu Zhi, the total strength of the Han army on the front line has reached as many as 190,000, and this does not include the 80,000 family soldiers recruited by the famous families in Yan and Hezhou.
Of course, Zhang Liang and Zhang Dingbian's Yellow Turban troops were already as high as 600,000. Coupled with the arrival of Zhang Jiao's 100,000 defeated Jizhou troops, it can be said that the number of Yanzhou Yellow Turbans has reached more than 70.
Even if Li Xiang and Lu Zhi came to help, with 270,000 men against 700,000 men, there was still a huge gap in strength between the Han side and the Yellow Turbans.
But even though there is such a big gap in the strength of the two sides, Li Xiang is still full of confidence in the Dahan side. The Dahan side has the support of all the aristocratic families, but the Yellow Turban side is far from getting the support of the entire civilian class.
In addition, Li Xiang's confidence lies in the fact that the Han Dynasty still maintains a cavalry force of up to 40,000. The only cavalry of the Yellow Turbans has been severely damaged after the last battle in Jizhou, and more than half of them were lost. Already.
Yanzhou is a land in the Central Plains, with flat ground and unobstructed views. It can be said that it is the most suitable place for cavalry to fight. It can be said that if the cavalry is allowed to charge, even the Yellow Turban soldiers who are four or five times our own strength will be defeated.
Moreover, the remaining cavalry of the Han army are all from the three states of Liang, Bing, and You. The folk customs of these three states are fierce and fierce, and the soldiers have been fighting against the foreign tribes in the north all year round. Therefore, if the Han army is talking about the most powerful soldiers, it must be There is no doubt that there are frontier troops from Liang, Bing and Youzhou.
Although the current situation of the Yellow Turbans is much better than that of a ragtag group in history, except for those elites, the combat power of the rest of the Yellow Turbans is still far less than that of ordinary Han soldiers.
