"The hooves are wide and the hooves are curved, and the thighs and legs are between the breasts. I think I am in a good position." Zhuangzi Xu Wugui
Gongsun Zan had a slight advantage at first, but when he heard that there was trouble at the rear and saw that it was difficult to capture Yecheng, he relied on his bravery and his elite cavalry to finally break out of the siege with more than 20,000 people after a burst of attacks.
Qu Yi had few soldiers and because the soldiers were tired, he did not dare to leave the camp to pursue him, so he let Gongsun Zan leave.
Cui Juye came over covered in blood and threw the head he was holding at Qu Yi's feet. The skull rolled to Qu Yi's feet and stopped with his face facing up. It happened to be Wen Ze, the general of Gongsun Zan's tribe.
's head.
Qu Yi lowered his head and glanced briefly, kicked him aside as if he were playing football, and said nonchalantly: "Well, General Cui can now have a meal with Yuan Gonggong without having to watch the stars."
Suddenly there was a burst of ridicule from all around. Cui Juye was good at stargazing. Yuan Shao often asked him about celestial phenomena and other things. Sometimes, he would invite him to eat and drink with him. He was treated aloof and even placed him in the army to lead troops.
.The Jizhou army, especially Qu Yi's subordinates, looked down upon Cui Juye. What's more, after Qu Yi defeated Gongsun Zan's main force in the Battle of Jieqiao, Yuan Shao thought that Gongsun Zan was about to be defeated, so he changed his generals on the spot and asked Cui Juye to replace Qu Yi to besiege Gongsun Zan.
As a result, Cui Juye and his tens of thousands of troops failed to capture Gu'an. Instead, when they ran out of food and returned south, they were overtaken by Gongsun Zan's troops and were defeated at Jumanshui, with 7,000 people killed in the battle.
This was regarded by Cui Juye as the biggest shame, and he could not hold his head high in the army for a long time. Yuan Shao not only wanted to secretly guard against Qu Yi, but also wanted to give Cui Juye another chance, so he specifically asked him to participate in this attempt to contain Gongsun Zan.
Fortunately, he made no mistakes this time, and even beheaded an enemy general. He threw the head in front of Qu Yi just to show his ability. He thought it would make him feel proud, but he didn't expect it.
Qu Yihun didn't seem to care and deliberately made fun of him.
Cui Juye's face turned red, and it took him a long time to say: "Why are you laughing? If you don't reorganize the army at this time, what are you waiting for!"
Most of these people were private soldiers led by Qu Yi himself. They were not afraid of Cui Juye, the foreign general, who was still sneering in a low voice.
Yuan Tan and Gao Lan, who were staying behind in the city, also came over at this time. Seeing this scene, they couldn't help but frown.
Qu Yi narrowed his eyes slightly and waved his hand gently, as if closing a floodgate. Then the laughter around him disappeared: "Did you hear it?" Qu Yi looked around, and wherever he looked, everyone was solemn.
With an expression, he lowered his head and said nothing: "The whole army rested for two days to ensure that Gongsun Zan was indeed going to Youzhou, and then broke out of the camp. At this time, someone was sent to Dongjun in the south to send a message, asking Zang Shijun to gather his troops and prepare for nn. I will
He advances in two directions, and as long as he recovers the Bohai Sea and the plains, Gongsun Zan's hand will never be able to reach Qingzhou again."
Yuan Tan was a little displeased. He took charge of the army on behalf of Yuan Shao. Logically speaking, he was the leader of this army, but Qu Yi didn't take him seriously at all. He intended to get angry, but due to Qu Yi's current power,
There was nothing I could do at the moment.
After all, Qu Yi is currently the leading general in the Jizhou army. He was once a subordinate of Han Fu, the shepherd of Jizhou. He rebelled because he was dissatisfied that Han Fu was too weak. Finally, he formed an alliance with Yuan Shao, which not only won Jizhou for Yuan Shao, but also helped Yuan Shao gain a foothold in Jizhou.
Gongsun Zan suffered a severe defeat. He made great achievements in the Jizhou army and had an overbearing and arbitrary character. Sometimes even Yuan Shao could not command him.
Therefore, no matter how angry Yuan Tan, Cui Juye and others felt in their hearts, they had no choice but to endure it and wait for the future.
Gongsun Zan galloped all the way back to Yixian, preparing to take the Hejian Road back to Yixian, but Guan Jing dissuaded him in time on the way: "If Yuan Shao really attacks Yixian, isn't he worried that we will come from behind? This must include encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao.
I'm afraid it's a lie that Yuan Shao took advantage of the situation to attack Yixian and lured me back to the army, but it's true that he ambushed me on the road. We must not take the right path on this trip. We might as well take the Bohai Sea and go northward."
"If it's not what you think, what if Yuan Shao really besieges Yixian?" Gongsun Zan asked.
"Yixian County has been in operation for many years, comparable to Guangzong, and it is guarded by Wangmen and other generals. It is impossible to lose it in just a few days." Guan Jing said firmly: "If Yuan Shao really besieges the city, our army can fight with Wangmen
Internal and external attacks!"
"Okay!" Gongsun Zan had no other option at this time and immediately adopted Guan Jing's advice, took a detour from Bohai County to the north and crossed Yishui, successfully arriving at Yixian County. Yuan Shao indeed followed Jushu's advice and under his arrangement
An ambush was laid on the main road from Hejian to Yixian County. At this time, I heard that Gongsun Zan had taken a detour, and he was disappointed, so he had to withdraw his troops to Muxian County and confront Gongsun Zan from the north to the south, officially blocking Gongsun Zan's way to go south again.
"There are many talented people in Youzhou. Gongsun Zan was wise and decisive in times of crisis and chose to take a detour to return north. This is something we did not expect. No wonder Jujun." Looking at Jushou's slightly apologetic look, Yuan Shao said:
Yan comforted and said: "Jun Ju, don't worry about this anymore. Go down and gather the people. I will return with the troops after a while. I will leave Mon County to Zhang Junyi. He happens to be from Mon County in Hejian and is familiar with the geography and people.
It would be best to have him guard it."
"I promise." Jushou then bowed and bowed, then slowly left.
Yuan Shao looked at Ju Shou's leaving figure, and suddenly turned his attention to Tian Feng, who was sitting beside him, with a half-smile on his face. Tian Feng had a clear mind, and when he realized what he was doing, he immediately made an excuse, said goodbye and left.
"Hey" Yuan Shao was the only one left in the room. He sighed softly, lowered his head and said with emotion: "They are all smart people."
In the shadow of a corner where no one noticed, a skinny man suddenly appeared and saluted Yuan Shao very respectfully: "Ming Gong."
"Chen Jun, how do you think I am doing today?" Yuan Shao asked.
This man is thin and tall, sitting on the table like a folded pole. His name is Chen Yi. He is the son of Chen Fan, the tutor of Emperor Xiaoling, and a fellow of Yuan Shao's Runan. Chen Fan and the general
Dou Wu jointly planned to kill the eunuchs, but was later defeated and killed, and Chen Yi was implicated. Fortunately, a friend of Chen Fan hid Chen Yi in Ganling, Jizhou, so he survived. It was not until the Yellow Turban Moth Thieves n,
In order to reunite the scholars, Emperor Xiaoling had to lift the ban on party members, and Chen Yi was awarded an official position as a result.
It's just that Chen Yi's father worked hard for the Han Dynasty, but was eventually killed by the imperial court. This made him always resentful of Emperor Xiaoling, who favored the eunuchs. Therefore, in the fourth year of Zhongping, he and the warlock Xiang Kai visited the governor of Jizhou.
Wang Fen conspired with a group of celebrities to depose the emperor.
In the end, the matter was leaked, and Chen Yi, Xu You and others fled to Yuan Shao's family for refuge. If Chen Yi was loyal to the imperial court, it was nothing after his family was destroyed. He had always been thinking about how to overthrow the imperial court, at least.
The blood descendants of Emperor Xiaoling cannot be allowed to continue to be the emperor of the Han Dynasty. Therefore, he has always been the staunchest supporter around Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao would discuss many things with Chen Yi that even Tian Feng could not talk about.
"With this series of great victories, Jizhou no longer has any immediate worries, and Ming Gong can finally breathe a sigh of relief." Chen Yi replied.
"It all depends on the soldiers' sacrifice, but we don't know whether they sacrificed their lives for Jizhou or for me." Yuan Shao's tone was a little heavy, trying not to think about these things, he turned to say: "Chen Jun, I will lead you
For my sake, there is something I have to do for me right now."
Chen Yifu is very spiritual. Although he is not as good as his father Chen Fan in terms of talent, he is far better than his father when it comes to strategy: "But for that matter?"
The two of them had discussed this matter a few years ago and finalized many details. However, they experienced many twists and turns in the process and the time was not yet ripe, so they kept putting it on hold. Now that Yuan Shao seems to be interested in mentioning it, Chen
Yi suddenly became excited, and his back straightened like a strong bamboo.
"Yes." Yuan Shao responded briefly: "This place is not far from Boling. When you get there, invite them over, and remember to sneak along the road without making any noise."
