After all, what Tian Kai and Yan Gang were worried about did not happen. They thanked Dong Zhuo for his generous help, took out the food and wine and meat in the city to thank Dong Zhuo, and invited them to eat and drink.
Dong Zhuo led his troops to rest for a day under Fanyang City, cleaned the battlefield, and counted the results and losses. Afterwards, Dong Zhuo and Tian Kaiyangang joined forces and marched toward Zhuoxian City together.
They didn't have time to discuss anything, and Dong Zhuo was eager to make a contribution, so without saying anything, he led his troops closer to Zhuoxian, hoping to join forces with Gongsun Zan to defeat Yuan Shao.
Qu Yi fled to the foot of Zhuoxian County at a very fast speed. He was surprised to find that the reinforcements sent by Yuan Shao had not set off yet.
Behead Qu Yi.
The counselors and generals around Yuan Shao quickly persuaded Yuan Shao not to be angry. It was not a good thing to kill a general before the battle. So Yuan Shao gave Qu Yi a chance and asked Qu Yi to set off with the reinforcements sent by the general to defeat Dong Zhuo and retake Fanyang City.
In this regard, Qu Yi felt helpless and suggested that Yuan Shao not divide his troops to attack Fan Yang. Now Dong Zhuo led the sudden cavalry to support him. If they fought in the field, Yuan Shao's army would be at a disadvantage.
It is better to rely on the advantage of having many soldiers, generals and relatively good defensive facilities here to attract Dong Zhuo's troops and horses, rely on the camp to conduct defensive operations, eliminate Dong Zhuo's advantage in sudden cavalry, and then look for opportunities to eliminate Dong Zhuo.
Qu Yi's suggestion made Yuan Shao feel angry that Qu Yi was greedy for life and afraid of death, and would put his army into a dilemma of attack from two sides.
However, Qu Yi's suggestion was supported by Tian Feng. Tian Feng also believed that dividing the troops was not a good idea at the moment, and Yuan Shao's army was indeed insufficient in the face of Bingzhou's sudden cavalry.
Yuan Shao believed Tian Feng very much. He couldn't refute what Tian Feng said. After much deliberation, he decided to let Qu Yi take the blame and perform meritorious service, and guard the camp alone against the attack of Dong Zhuo and others. He was responsible for the defense and could not make any mistakes.
Any mistakes will be punished without mercy.
Qu Yi then saved his life. Feeling sad, he led 10,000 troops to build a camp, set up various professional equipment to deal with the cavalry, and then waited for Dong Zhuo's army to arrive.
At the same time, in the face of Yuan Shao's all-out attack, Gongsun Zan also fought back with all his strength. Yuan Shao's attack on Zhuoxian City could not proceed smoothly, and the situation was about to get worse.
However, at this moment, the Xianbei and Wuhuan people achieved victory.
They achieved great victories in Liaoxi County, Youbeiping County and Guangyang County. At the gate where Dong Zhuo's reinforcements arrived, the resistance of Yuyang County's officers and soldiers also failed.
Rao Bin, the governor of Yuyang County, died of serious injuries, and his generals defended the county seat. Except for the county seat, other places could no longer be taken care of.
The situation in Youzhou further deteriorated. At that time, the Xianbei people were mainly raging in Youbeiping County, Yuyang County and Guangyang County, while the Wuhuan people were mainly raging in Liaoxi County, Liaodong County, Liaodong vassal states and other places.
At present, in the Liaodong Corridor, only Gongsun Du, the governor of Liaodong County, is still leading his army to fight against the Wuhuan people. They have not been defeated and even achieved some victories. However, to the west of Liaodong County and to the east of Zhuo County, there are already Xianbei and Wuhuan people.
The "promised land" where the Huan people were wreaking havoc.
So according to the previous agreement, after Xianbei adults Suli and Mika obtained great benefits, plundered a large amount of property, and enjoyed the population, they were very satisfied with Yuan Shao's "efforts", so they personally led people towards Zhuojun.
Advance and begin to support Yuan Shao, looting along the way.
On the eighth day of December, Dong Zhuo led his troops to the south of Zhuoxian County, where they faced the southern camp led by Qu Yi. In order to humiliate and intimidate Qu Yi, Dong Zhuo gave Yan Liang's head to Qu Yi.
I was surprised and felt very sorry in the end, but I didn't have any wavering in my will.
He couldn't win in field battles, but he was confident in defensive battles.
For this defensive battle, Qu Yi made a lot of preparations, dug a lot of pits, and prepared a lot of horseback and crossbowmen. He believed that if Dong Zhuo wanted to pass these obstacles, he would need to bleed dry and risk his life.
Facing his absolute defense, Bingzhou's sudden cavalry could not play a big role.
The facts are similar. Facing the absolute defense like a hedgehog, Dong Zhuo's troops, who were good at field warfare, were in a bit of a dilemma. However, Tian Kai and Yan Gang's troops under Gongsun Zan launched an attack using some siege equipment, posing some threats to Qu Yi.
But overall, progress has been slow and the battle has been difficult.
On the ninth day of December, 30,000 Xianbei cavalry, led by Suli and Mijia, arrived at Zhuojun and came to support Yuan Shao as agreed. Yuan Shao was overjoyed and met Suli and Mijia in person, and then told them about Dong Zhuo.
Gongsun Zan was hiding in the tortoise shell and could not come out, but Dong Zhuo was outside. If they could defeat Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao would be very happy.
Suli and Mika smiled and nodded in agreement, but they still had some small requests.
They want Shanggu County and Dai County.
The original agreement was not enough, they also wanted more fertile land and more slaves.
Yuan Shao was a little dissatisfied with this, and Tian Feng was also a little dissatisfied with this, saying that they were just trying to increase the price by raising prices, which would not be beneficial to future cooperation.
But the threat from Sully and Mika is more realistic.
"I heard that General Liu Bei of Luoyang is leading his army north. If we leave now, nothing will happen. At worst, we won't need anything, but you may face great danger, right?"
"Which one do you think is more valuable, two counties or the whole world?"
Suli and Mika had obviously done their homework. They were definitely not blind to the current situation in the Han Empire. They were evil and cunning, and they preyed on Yuan Shao's weaknesses.
Yuan Shao was very angry, but he had no choice. What these two people were talking about was indeed the dilemma he was currently facing.
With no other choice, Yuan Shao could only agree to this condition, give up Dai County and Shanggu County, and leave it to Su Li and Mika to divide it internally. They could divide it however they liked. It had nothing to do with him anyway.
Suli and Mika's conditions were met, so there was nothing to say. They still had the basic professional ethics of taking people's money and eliminating disasters, and then they sent troops south to find trouble with Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo was in a passionate battle with Qu Yi when he suddenly received a battle report saying that a huge Xianbei cavalry was moving south quickly. The number was far greater than the number of his troops.
Dong Zhuo was very surprised by this news. He calculated the number of his troops and horses, thought about how he would fight if the Xianbei people arrived, and whether he could continue to fight. After thinking about it, he decided to retreat.
A few days ago, he received news from Liu Bei, saying that Liu Bei was leading an army of 50,000 people to the north and it would take some time to arrive. He hoped that the troops fighting in Youzhou would continue to persist and not give up. He would definitely come.
Liu Bei was an absolute expert in dealing with the Xianbei people, and all the Han people knew this.
So Dong Zhuo no longer hesitated, and agreed with Tian Kai and Yan Gang to quickly retreat back to Fanyang County. Relying on the defense of Fanyang County, he insisted on defending and refused to fight with the Xianbei people in the field, so as to wait until Liu Bei arrived.
Tian Kai and Yan Gang had no objection, so they quickly withdrew their troops at night. Qu Yi, who was still on the defensive, did not notice it. When he discovered Dong Zhuo's withdrawal early the next morning, it was already too late.
In fact, it was just one night's time difference. The Xianbei cavalry arrived at Quyi's defensive camp and learned that Dong Zhuo had retreated. Suli and Mika laughed at Dong Zhuo, despised the strength of the Han army even more, and then continued to lead their troops south to pursue them.
Dong Zhuo.
To be honest, Suli and Mika felt very happy after fighting this way.
Through all kinds of burning, killing and looting, they obtained a large amount of property and slaves. Their assets expanded more than ten times, and the majority of their subordinates could also get a share of the pie. The wealth of the entire tribe expanded rapidly. After this battle, they could survive
A long time of good times.
But after entering the territory of Zhuojun, they felt a little unhappy, because Zhuojun had been plundered by Yuan Shao's army, and it was already a completely empty land.
In terms of plundering and harming the people, the professional skills of Yuan Shao's troops still exceed the professional skills of the Xianbei people. After all, the Xianbei people are outsiders. I don't understand some twists and turns. The skills of scraping the land are still among our own people.
A little stronger.
Therefore, the Xianbei people wanted to plunder while marching, but they had nothing to plunder. They could only scold Yuan Shao for not being a human being while heading south to pursue Dong Zhuo.
After finally catching up, Dong Zhuo had already led his men back into Fanyang City and began to defend the city. The Xianbei people could not take advantage of the cavalry and could only besiege the city and attack, while not forgetting to send people south into Jizhou to continue plundering.
You’ve come here, you can’t go back empty-handed, right?
As a result, the northern areas of Zhongshan Kingdom and Hejian Kingdom were plundered by Xianbei cavalry, and a group of Xianbei cavalry invaded the area.
Fortunately, the local people were well prepared. After hearing about the chaos in Youzhou, they formed a stronghold to defend themselves and were careful not to repeat the mistakes of the Youzhou people.
The Xianbei cavalry's looting plan did not achieve great results, and the battle in Fanyang County itself was not successful. Dong Zhuo launched a resolute defensive counterattack and lost some men.
But this situation ended around December 12th.
Because Liu Bei's army arrived quickly and slowly.
