Chapter 23 White Horse follows and fights to the death
It’s over!
This was the thought in Gongsun Zan's mind at this time.
The opponent actually used the car formation to cover up and counterattack the cavalry!
The result of the cavalry being closely guarded by the heavy infantry is almost to be slaughtered by others!
His whole body was cold. He had seen this scene in the Battle of the Boundary Bridge three years ago. It was so similar!
At that time, his superior, Yan Gang, led the white-horse Yi Cong into the formation, but was shot down at close range by the opponent's 800 crossbowmen who were lying under their shields.
Taking this opportunity, the opposing general Qu Yi rushed into his own formation and killed Yan Gang.
He saw a cavalry rushing out of the opponent's formation, charging towards his own cavalry with his horse upright. His posture was exactly the same as that of Qu Yi back then!
The general yelled: "Don't look back! Only by rushing forward can you survive!"
He picked up his horse and rushed towards Qu Yi on foot, "The white horse will obey you and you will fight to the death!"
Qu Yi's war horse passed by him.
Yuan Xi looked at the soldier, holding his chest and slowly falling down, and sighed to Zhao Yun beside him: "Gongsun Zan has many capable men and generals, but he can't know how to use them well."
"Back then, Yan Gang and Gongsun Zan met and formed the White Horse Yi Cong. However, Gongsun Zan was jealous of him, took away his military power, and asked him to serve as a vanguard in the Battle of Jieqiao, whereupon he died."
"The same is true for Brother Zhao. Because Liu Shijun is jealous of him, leading infantry to attack Beixin City, is it any different from committing suicide?"
"Gongsun Zan is so suspicious of everyone around him, how can he achieve such great things?"
Zhao Yun listened and stared at the back of Qu Yi who was walking across the battlefield: "I heard that your father Yuan Benchu also killed his general Qu Yi out of suspicion."
Yuan Xi understood that Zhao Yun, who had participated in the Battle of Jieqiao, should have recognized Qu Yi. After all, Qu Yi at that time could be said to have become famous in one battle, and was so powerful that everyone knew it.
In fact, the fact that Yuan Shao sent people to kill Qu Yi was far from being as simple as Qu Yi's great achievements. The inside story was extremely secret and involved an unsolved case in the fourth year of Chuping, the Yecheng Rebellion.
Yuan Shao defeated Gongsun Zan and led the victorious army back south. They passed through Boluojin to renovate their troops. Suddenly, someone urgently reported that the soldiers in Wei County had rebelled. Yuan Shao joined forces with the Black Mountain bandit leader Yu Du to occupy Yecheng and killed the prefect Li Cheng.
Tens of thousands of troops from more than a dozen armies have gathered in Yecheng.
Yecheng is the seat of Wei County and the core city of the entire Jizhou. Most of the family members of the civil and military officials who hosted the banquet for Yuan Junzhong live in Yecheng, including Yuan Shao's family.
What is even more inexplicable is that Yecheng was occupied without any warning.
So when they heard the news, everyone at the table turned pale with horror, and some even started crying immediately. Yuan Shao was calm at this time, with almost no change in his expression, and only then did he stabilize his military morale.
"Heroes" records: All the guests sitting on the table, who had homes in Ye, were all worried and frightened, or even started to cry, but their appearance did not change and they looked at ease.
Yuan Shao's performance at that time, during the Battle of Jieqiao, when he led more than a hundred men to encounter 2,000 Gongsun Zan's cavalry, and personally braved the arrows to command and repel the enemy, all showed the style of a general.
Yuan Xi had to admit that although his cheap father Yuan Shao was always better than a ghost when the wind was favorable, he was often extraordinary when the wind was against him.
There is no perfect person in the world, and those who can do great things have some merits.
Yuan Xi sometimes wondered what happened to Yuan Shao later that made him slowly change and become what Cao Cao said was a fierce and timid person who was always scheming, who cherished his own life when doing big things, and forgot his life when he saw small gains.
?
The Yecheng Rebellion ended with Yuan Shao leading his army to kill Yu Du, the leader of the Black Mountain Army, and Mu Hushou of Jizhou who was the instigator behind the scenes.
Mu Hushou of Jizhou was a chess piece sent by Li Jue, Guo Si and other Liangzhou tycoons who kidnapped Emperor Xian. He planned to occupy Yecheng but was silent beforehand. It is very likely that there was a traitor inside.
The Liangzhou warriors under Yuan Shao were naturally suspected.
Qu Yi was born in Liangzhou, and Yuan Shao suspected that he was also involved in this matter, so he ambushed and hacked Qu Yi to death.
But Yuan Xi felt that things were far from that simple.
"Three Kingdoms: Chronicles of Emperor Wu" records: Black Mountain bandits Yu Du, Bai Rao, Sui Gu and more than 100,000 troops attacked Wei County and Dong County. Taizu led troops into Dong County, attacked Bai Rao in Puyang and defeated it. Yuan Shao expressed his gratitude to Tai Tai
The ancestor was the governor of Dongjun and governed Wuyang in the east.
This happened in the second year of Chuping (192). From then on, Cao Cao obtained the capital to become an independent party. In the third year of Chuping, Cao Cao began to defeat Yuan Shu in Yanzhou and gradually broke away from Yuan Shao's control.
Therefore, what happened in Yecheng in the fourth year of Chuping was quite strange. There are many mysteries in it, including the Lu Bu and Zhang Miao Rebellion that occurred in later generations, all of which are inextricably linked.
Zhang Miao and Cao Cao were life-and-death friends, but Yuan Shao later had a rift with Miao and repeatedly asked Cao Cao to kill Miao.
At that time, Dong Zhao's younger brother Dong Fang was in Zhang Miao's army, so Dong Zhao, who was originally highly regarded by Yuan Shao, was suspected and was forced to flee. Yuan Xi secretly intercepted him and kept him here.
Yuan Xi felt that everything was a mess. He vaguely found the thread, but lacked key evidence. He could only peel off the cocoons bit by bit to find clues. It did not happen overnight.
The internal affairs of these matters were too complicated to explain on the battlefield. Yuan Xi immediately said to Zhao Yun: "If you suspect someone, don't use it. If you employ someone, don't doubt it."
"If Brother Zhao can come to help me, I will entrust my life to Brother Zhao."
"If Brother Zhao thinks that I am not worthy of being the master in the future, he can leave at any time and I will not stop him."
"If you disobey this, you will be struck by lightning and your family will be cut off."
After Zhao Yun heard this, he thought that no matter whether this was true or not, it was the first time that he could see someone who could not change his expression and swear at his family again and again.
He immediately dismounted and said: "If General Cheng will not give up, Zilong is willing to do my little bit."
Yuan Xi was overjoyed and quickly got off his horse and held Zhao Yun's hand tightly.
Zhao Yun felt the strength coming from the other party's hand and thought to himself, are you a little too enthusiastic?
Yuan Xi was excited in his heart. Although Zhao Yun had temporarily surrendered to him, and his loyalty level was one hundred, Zhao Yun at this time was only sixty at most.
But this can be regarded as an extremely remarkable thing that he has done since he came to this world!
Zhao Yun felt the enthusiasm in Yuan Xi's hands, calmly withdrew his hands and said: "Please allow me to go into battle to help the general."
Yuan Xi was startled: "Baima Yicong was once a peer of Brother Yun, but can he do it?"
Zhao Yun said coldly: "They surrounded and killed me and my subordinates in front of Yijing City. There is no longer any friendship at all. Now each of us is his own master. Yun Jue will not fight against each other."
Yuan Xi felt happy and nodded in agreement. He saw Zhao Yunting mount his horse with a gun and rush into the formation of the White Horse Yi Cong.
When Yuan Xi saw it, he was also filled with pride. He picked up a horse pole, mounted his horse and rushed forward.
In less than half an hour, hundreds of Ma Yi fled and died, leaving only a few who refused to retreat and were surrounded by everyone.
Yuan Xi stopped everyone, rode his horse to a few people, and said, "I can let you go."
He pointed to the body of the unknown general who was killed by Qu Yi earlier, "You take it back and bury it properly."
"A message to Gongsun Zan. He is so incompetent that he has caused the death of his loyal subordinates. He will definitely be defeated."
The few people looked at each other, and finally saluted Yuan Xi and left with the body of the unknown general.
