Chapter 20 The general trend is initially determined
Liu Bei set out from Pingyuan County,
Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, and finally appear at the moment when Gongsun Zan is about to die!
"Xuande help me!"
Gongsun Zan was like a drowning man grabbing the last straw.
"Ah!" Gongsun Zan roared like a wild beast, and a force of power burst out from his body again, and he was finally able to withstand Wen Chou's fatal knife!
Wen Chou had heard of the reputation of Guan and Zhang. After all, the story of the three heroes fighting Lu Bu in Hulao Pass had spread throughout the world.
If he had the confidence to fight the last one, but these two people came to save Gongsun Zan from both sides, showing no respect for martial ethics!
Wen Chou believed that he did not have the strength of Lu Bu. He had no intention of confronting Guan and Zhang.
"Come on!" Zhang Fei raised his snake spear eight feet high and swept it towards Wen Chou's body!
Wen Chou retracted his sword, leaned down and clung to the horse's back, thus avoiding the sweep of the snake spear.
But before he could get up,
Guan Yu's sword, which is ready to go and can rival the innate realm, is here!
Wen Chou could feel the edge of the knife even from a distance.
Shocked in his heart, he immediately turned his horse and drove away.
As Yuan Shao's second-ranking general, Wen Chou's horse is naturally a top-notch war horse, and its reaction and speed are much better than Guan Yu's yellow gelding.
Guan Yu's sword was really short in the end just because his horse was not strong enough...
Wen Chou saw that Guan Yu's sword failed,
He didn't dare to stay any longer, so he turned his horse and fled.
Seeing Wen Chou greeting his soldiers to leave,
Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan didn't intend to pursue them anymore. The key was to retreat quickly at this time.
Wait until Gongsun Xu comes back,
Gongsun Zan counted the damage in this battle,
The entire army originally had 7,000 Youzhou cavalry and 3,000 white horse followers, but now the total number was less than 5,000, and more than half of the infantry was lost directly.
This is great,
But let Yuan Shao show Gongsun Zan what real killing is...
After this battle,
Gongsun Zan suffered heavy losses, both in terms of military strength and reputation.
Although Gongsun Zan was so depressed that he almost vomited blood, under Liu Bei's efforts to persuade him, Gongsun Zan finally chose to retreat.
History’s evaluation of Yuan Shao’s battle at Jieqiao is: “It was a time when the troops were vigorous and the horses were electric; the master and the disciples joined forces, the machinery was not rigorous, the strengths and weaknesses were different, the numbers were different, and the help of heaven was false.
A small battle leads to a big defeat, and then the soldiers sneak up to the mausoleum and build up the valley.”
This battle was a key battle for Yuan Shao to dominate Hebei, and it also provided others with ideas for infantry to fight against cavalry.
Yuan Shao successfully stopped Gongsun Zan's unstoppable development momentum and completely reversed the environment in which the enemy was strong and we were weak.
Finally, we were able to completely secure Jizhou,
It laid a solid foundation for his future efforts.
...
east county,
Yu Du was defeated all the way,
Cao Cao did not relax his pursuit at all, but he also did not take advantage of the Yellow Turbans' fatigue to pounce on them and eliminate them all.
Yu Du, who was panicking to save his life, had no time or energy to think about why Cao Jun clearly had four-legged cavalry but couldn't catch up with their two-legged infantry...
All the way back to Dongwuyang,
When the city gate of Dongwuyang slowly opened and the rumble of horse hooves was heard,
Yu Du suddenly woke up,
But, it's too late!
Zhao Yun led the fastest white horse Yi Cong, and with lightning speed, he broke into the city gate that had just been opened halfway!
Zhao Yun and fifty white horse Yi Cong guarded the city gate.
This gave Le Jin an excellent opportunity to lead the cavalry that charged forward!
Before Yu Dudu entered the city, he watched helplessly as Cao Jun's cavalry rushed into Dongwuyang City.
Seeing Cao Jun start killing like a wolf entering a sheep's den,
In desperation, Yu Du simply led the remaining soldiers and fled into the distance.
Dongjun Yellow Turban, finished,
At this point, Dongjun belongs to Boss Cao!
There are nearly 200,000 Montenegrin Yellow Turbans with their families in Dongwuyangzhong.
Even if most of them were killed,
But after several battles, Cao Cao still captured nearly 100,000 Montenegrin people!
...
"Quickly! Let's help each other and lift the car!"
"That one over there, don't block the way of the people behind you!"
"Kid, you look very cute. Uncle has some candy here. Do you want to eat it?"
Cao Cao captured nearly 100,000 Black Mountain Yellow Turbans and their families.
Dongjun can't support so many people because of the war, what should we do?
Or we can only move back to Chenliu!
Lu Yan patted his forehead and said to Xi Zhicai and Mao Jie beside him, "There are only about 100,000 people...don't panic!"
Of course Lu Yan didn't panic, because Xi Zhicai and Mao Jie had been busy with the specific matters of relocating the population and recruiting refugees...
After hearing Lu Yan's words, Xi Zhicai didn't say anything, but Mao Jie, who knew Lu Yan's character well, spoke,
"Of course you don't panic, Changsheng. After all, Zhicai and I are doing all these physical work..."
"Emmm..." He was criticized, but Mao Jie was attacking Lu Yan, and he seemed to have no way to refute.
Maybe it’s because I’ve been under a lot of pressure at work recently.
Even Mao Jie, who has always been known for his integrity and fairness, has a tendency to become venomous.
After thinking about it, Lu Yan finally found an excuse and replied,
"Spring is about to begin, and I'm busy preparing for spring plowing.
Those who are capable work hard, and with you and Zhicai here, Duke Cao's rear will be worry-free!"
Mao Jie wanted to say something more, but Xi Zhicai spoke to save Lu Yan:
"It's not wrong for Changsheng to look at the overall situation and overview the situation, and we will handle various matters."
"You, you..." Mao Jie pointed at Xi Zhicai, who had 'betrayed' him, and said helplessly: "Lu Changsheng is ten times more talented than me, but he only thinks about cheating and cheating all day long."
Speaking of which,
Mao Jie immediately glared at Lu Yan with a look that was filled with resentment, and finally said angrily:
"Some people are toads. You have to poke them before they jump!"
"Hey! I don't like hearing what you say!"
Lu Yan was immediately dissatisfied. He stared into Mao Jie's eyes and faced Mao Jie tit for tat, saying:
"With my skin, I'm at least a frog. How could I be a toad?"
Xi Zhicai: "?"
Mao Jie: "..." Did you pay attention to the wrong point?
"A toad can't eat swan meat, but a frog may be a prince..." This was the last stubbornness in Lu Yan's heart.
That’s all,
Mao Jie really had nothing to do with Lu Yan, a lazy guy.
"Hmph! I have a headache today, so I'm going to a wine shop to have a few drinks to refresh myself.
Since you don’t like doing things yourself,
Then let's find a few more people like Zhicai to help me. I'm sorry for not being with you!" After Mao Jie finished speaking, he shook his sleeves and left.
Lu Yan and Xi Zhicai looked at each other in confusion. After Mao Jie disappeared, Lu Yan asked cautiously: "Has Xiaoxian finished his work today?"
"Almost everything has been dealt with. We agreed in advance that I will finish the remaining small things later."
When Lu Yan heard this, he suddenly felt angry and funny.
"Mao Jie is a man with a sharp mouth and a soft heart.
He obviously finished his work and went off to get off work normally.
But you just pretend to be dissatisfied with me and leave...naughty!"
However, Mao Jie's words reminded Lu Yan, who stroked his light beard stubble and murmured: "Of course, the more talents, the better, but you can't be satisfied just because you have a drama."
