When Gai Jun led his army into Hengshan, everything was moving. First of all, Huang Zhong, the general of the Hanoi Dian Army, suddenly went south to surround Mengjin and Jizhou soldiers. Yuan Shao and Yanzhou governor Liu Dai sent hundreds of warships up from the water. The Jizhou people were unprepared.
When Zhao Fu and Cheng Huan were engaged, they were captured and executed. Three thousand soldiers died in battle, hundreds of large ships were burned, and nearly 10,000 surrendered.
On that day, the fire was soaring into the sky, and the soldiers on the other side were dumbfounded when they saw the fire. They immediately reported it to Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo suspected that there must be internal strife in Guandong, and ordered the soldiers not to act rashly and wait and see what happens.
Yuan Shao had no worries. He led tens of thousands of troops and nearly a thousand ships to the east and stationed at Yanzhou East County, the mouth of the Yellow River. Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, and Wang Hu, the prefect of East County, assisted him with thousands of troops. They were eyeing the Wei County of Jizhou on the north bank of the Yellow River.
.
Han Fu, who was in Yecheng, Wei County, was greatly frightened. It would be a lie to say that he had not received any news recently, but the fact that they met in battle was beyond his expectation. He did not dare to hesitate for a moment and hurriedly used force to fight.
Colonel Qu Yi sent 10,000 troops south to Liyang to prevent Yuan Shao from going north. However, when Qu Yi reached Neihuang, he suddenly rebelled and his troops turned north.
Han Fu was angry and impatient. He cursed Qu Yi as a traitor and sent Zhu Ling from Qinghe to attack him with 20,000 troops.
Inner Huangxi Huangze Lake.
The vast lake is sparkling, and the moist air is filled with lingering fragrance. A middle-aged man in his early forties, wearing fine armor, walks silently beside the reeds by the lake. He is seven feet eight inches tall, with a strong torso and shoulders.
He is more than half a foot wider than ordinary people. He has a rough appearance and a full beard. He has an unusually majestic appearance. At first glance, he looks like a battle-hardened veteran.
He is Jincheng Quyi Qu Zishan. As mentioned earlier, the Qu family originally came from the Qingzhou Plain with the surname Ju, and their ancestor Ju Tan was a minister during the reign of Emperor Ai of the Western Han Dynasty. He was demoted from his post to the people because he was implicated in the "Hushan Lishi" case by Dongping King Liu Yun.
, when Wang Mang was in Liangzhou, Ju Tanyou "refugeed in Huangzhong and changed his name to Qu".
In the fourth year of the Zhongping Period, the Yellow Turbans broke out, and Han Sui and Bian Zhang also came to Western Xinjiang to respond. The entire Qu clan in Jincheng attached themselves to Han Sui and were following Qu Yi, the general of the left chariot and cavalry, Huangfu Song, who suppressed the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Their attitude suddenly changed.
He became embarrassed, his family did not recognize him, and the court did not believe him. He was disheartened and stayed in Jizhou. Although his ancestral home plain belongs to Qingzhou, seven of the ten counties within its territory are north of the Yellow River, geographically closer to Jizhou, so he
This move can be regarded as a return of fallen leaves to their roots.
seven years
Unknowingly, Qu Yi has been living in Jizhou for seven years. Compared with Liangzhou, it has been a slightly stable seven years. However, this is not the life he wants. As a person who grew up in Western Xinjiang, he must have a heart in his heart.
Qu Yi is no exception to the desire to make contributions. How many days and nights has he woke up from his dream, and he will always ask himself, was his choice really the right one?
The war in Western Xinjiang made Dong Zhuo the Prime Minister and the leader of the country, Gai Jun, the general of the Hussars, who was penniless when he conquered the Yellow Turbans, but is now famous all over the world.
Teng...
Fu Xie, who went to Guandong with him back then, died as the governor of Hanyang, so what? If he had a choice, he would rather die a grand death like Fu Xie and leave his name in history, rather than die on the couch.
Last year, the Kwantung Allied Forces' campaign against Dong had once raised his hopes, but the lack of ambition of Jizhou Mu Han Fu immediately disappointed him. It was at that time that Hussar General Gai Jun personally wrote a letter inviting him to Bingzhou.
To jointly build meritorious deeds, Gai Jun's men were mostly from Liangzhou, so it was a good choice. However, Qu Yi thought about it and politely declined. Firstly, he couldn't stand the gap in status, and secondly, Yuan Shaofang had already begun to
Contact him.
Yuan Shao, who is widely known in the world, has always had great ambitions. If he can be supported by others, his career will be successful.
"Captain..." A Liangzhou confidant strode over, interrupting Qu Yi's contemplation, "Han Fu's 20,000-strong army has advanced to fifty miles."
"Twenty thousand?" Qu Yi twitched his lips, disapprovingly, and asked, "Who is the general?"
"Zhu Ling from Qinghe."
Qu Yi nodded, Zhu Ling had always had a reputation and prestige, and was very popular with the soldiers. He was considered a famous general in Jizhou, but that was all.
Not only Qu Yi was disappointed with the inaction of Jizhou Mu Han Fu, Zhu Ling also had opinions. Even if Jizhou suffered from the Yellow Turbans and Zhang Chun's Rebellion, it still had a population of four to five million, one million hectares, or hundreds of millions of acres of fertile land, and more than 100,000 soldiers.
, Gu Zhi ten years. This is a country that uses force. Emperor Guangwu, the founder of the world, used this to conquer the world and establish the Jiuzhou. Now, Dong Zhuo rebelled and killed the emperor. Han Fu did not want to make progress and was willing to be a field guard. The generals in Jizhou followed
Don't want to be a guard dog.
However, Zhu Ling is different from Qu Yi. Although he is dissatisfied with Han Fu, he will not do the following sinful things. As one of the few famous generals in Jizhou, Yuan Shao cannot not want to win over him for his own use, and has extended an olive branch many times.
Zhu Ling did not reply. Of course, he also did not inform Han Fu. It seemed that the two sides were not helping each other, but in fact, it should be said that he was leaning towards Yuan Shao. Only when an outstanding person like Yuan Shao takes control of Jizhou can warriors like them get a chance to show off their skills.
Chance..
For this battle, Zhu Ling had no intention of winning, even if he had 20,000 people and his opponent Qu Yi only had 10,000. Zhu Ling had known Qu Yi for several years and knew very well what he was capable of, and his skill in using troops was by no means weaker than Gongsun Zan.
, Xu Rong, Gai Yin, Ma Teng and other famous generals in the prime of life, but unfortunately they are in Jizhou and have no place to use them. They are tigers by nature, and they are all treated like dogs. It is sad and lamentable.
Now the tiger breaks free from the rope and returns to the forest. Who can control it?
The general Zhu Ling is like this, so why not talk about the soldiers of Jizhou? Qu Yi has been in the state for seven years, his reputation is at its peak, and everyone is wary of him.
The scouts reported that Qu Yi led his troops north to fight. Zhu Ling smiled bitterly and thought, "Don't you even give me time to set up camp? This is how Qu Yi used his troops. No matter he was at an advantage or a disadvantage, he would move forward without hesitation and order the formation to fight."
When Qu Yi saw the Jizhou army, he launched an attack without saying a word.
Why did Emperor Guangwu gain the world? Without him, Youzhou Tuqi and Jizhou Nuer. These two were the best soldiers in the world and the core of the country. The Eastern Han Dynasty was not peaceful. They often used Erzhou cavalry and crossbows to control them, and they failed every time.
Qu Yi had stayed in Jizhou for seven years, so he naturally knew the power of Jizhou's crossbowmen. The soldiers rushed at them with big spears, and the crossbowmen fired from behind. The arrows from both sides were overwhelming and tilted toward the opponent. Every moment, someone fell down wailing.
When Qu's army reached dozens of steps, Zhu Ling signaled the crossbowmen to retreat and replace them with halberds. Although the Jizhou halberdmen were not as famous as the crossbowmen, they were still worthy of praise. Qu Yi replaced the crossbowmen with more than a thousand old Liangzhou troops.
.
In the past, the Muhuang Fusong of Jizhou was transferred to Chang'an due to the rebellion in Western Xinjiang. At that time, bandits were everywhere in Jizhou, so not all the Han and Hu soldiers from Liangzhou were taken away. There were about 3,000 people who stayed in Jizhou and were handed over to the commander of Qu Yi. These seven
Over the years, hundreds of people have died in battles and diseases, and now there are only more than 2,700 people left, including 1,000 cavalry. It would be ridiculous for people from Western Xinjiang to say they can't ride a horse, but Jizhou thinks horses are too expensive
Money and food are only for Qianqi's use.
The great warriors of the Quyi Army were the first to hit the great warriors of the Zhu Ling Army. In an instant, the huge impact force knocked the opponent's formation crookedly. Seeing the right moment, more than a thousand Liangzhou infantry jumped out with shouts, swords and swords down, and suddenly
enter.
It has been more than a hundred years since Shizu Guangwu reshaped the Han Dynasty. No state has ever been as turbulent as Liangzhou. In just a few years of fierce fighting, there were as many as three major Qiang rebellions in more than ten years, and there were countless small-scale wars.
Even women are known as "carrying halberds and spears, stringing bows and carrying arrows". To put it bluntly, if you pick a man from Liangzhou at random, he will be synonymous with elite soldiers in the Central Plains.
The more than a thousand Liangzhou infantry under Qu Yi's command can be regarded as the elite among the elite, and there are Qiang and Hu mixed among them. They are not afraid of death when fighting. First of all, they have an overwhelming advantage in momentum, so they are all invincible during the battle.
One is worth ten.
Although Zhu Lingjun's thousands of forwards kept retreating, they were still struggling to resist the sharp edges of the Liangzhou people's swords. However, as a Sima was cut off by the Liangzhou people and his head was hung on his waist, the thousands of soldiers in the front army immediately collapsed.
Turn around and flee towards the Chinese army.
Facing an opponent that was ten times their own, the Liangzhou people did not know what to fear. They followed the footsteps of the defeated army and ran into the Chinese army, fighting madly. The Jizhou soldiers of the Quyi Army became more confident and followed behind the Liangzhou people, shouting at the top of their lungs.
Rushing in.
Seeing the disadvantage, Zhu Ling sent his four thousand rear troops to the flanks in an attempt to attack from a flank. Qu Yi immediately led a thousand cavalry to attack, cutting the four thousand infantry halfway up the road into two sections, and then repeatedly charged and killed Jizhou soldiers.
It was tragic and they dispersed in a hurry.
The front army and the rear army were defeated one after another, and the officers and men in the middle army were heartbroken and rushed to run. Zhu Ling could not control it.
Qu Yi chased his troops for several miles, then turned around and left with two thousand surrendered soldiers.
Zhu Ling ran for more than ten miles, stopped to gather the defeated soldiers, and gathered more than 12,000 people. Seeing that Qu Yi did not pursue him, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that Qu Yi was considering the fact that the two had worked together for many years.
Kill them all, otherwise thousands of Liangzhou elite cavalry will not let go. How many people can return to Yecheng safely after traveling hundreds of miles?
"Colonel Captain..."
Zhu Ling looked at his men with bloody faces, shook his head and said, "Let's go back to Ye."
Qu Yi led his army southward to Liyang, defeated it in a battle, and sent a message to Yuan Shao across the Yellow River in Yanjin to cross the river to meet him.
Yuan Shao wrote back that tens of thousands of troops were begging for food in Yanzhou and there was no way to cross the river. Qu Yi replied and wrote that if the army marched straight into Yecheng with ten days of food and grass, Han Fu would surrender. Yuan Shao refused again.
If Yuan Shao crosses the river, it means that he will completely break with Han Fu, and a war may break out between the two sides. It is not that he is afraid of the other party. Han Fu, an incompetent person, will be easy to capture. Although he wants to occupy Jizhou, he does not want to give it to him.
The world has the impression of robbing other people's inheritance. He wants Han Fu to willingly offer the Jizhou Mu Great Seal, just like the story of Yao, Shun, and Yu's abdication. In fact, to put it bluntly, he wants to be a prince and build an archway at the same time.
--------------------------
Youzhou, Yuyang County.
In front of the Baoqiu River, 20,000 troops leading 15,000 war horses were arranged in order, with villages as units, and they crossed the river in an orderly manner. The Yongnu people on the other side looked curiously at this Han army, which was poorly equipped but had a hunting spirit.
.
"Look, it's General White Horse..." Someone stretched out his finger and pointed into the distance and said quietly. No wonder he could recognize it at a glance. Three thousand white horses gathered together. It was so spectacular and gave people endless visual impact.
Even if you are not from Youzhou, you can guess the commander of this Han army immediately.
"Where are you going? Are you going to crusade against the national traitor Dong Zhuo?"
"It's eighty percent that no one in the Central Plains dares to fight Dong Zhuo. Only General White Horse in the world can compete with Dong Zhuo." Obviously, this man is a fanatical admirer of Gongsun Zan. There are many people like him in Youzhou.
There is no way, Gongsun Zan is tall and handsome, and he has repeatedly resisted the Hu tribe and defended the people of Youzhou. It is difficult not to be loved.
Someone raised doubts: "How did I hear that Gai Ying beat Dong Zhuo until he repeatedly begged for mercy?"
"The rumors are not trustworthy. If Gai Ying is really capable, how come Dong Zhuo is still alive and well?"
Another person interjected: "Gai Ying has conquered the world without a single defeat. How can he be a person who has gained a reputation in vain? You didn't see Gai Ying going south. Dong Zhuo hurriedly conquered the state and animal husbandry. General Hussar reassured him. Later, he cut the east of the river and Fu Nei.
Of."
"Are you from Youzhou or Liangzhou?"
"..."
Naturally, Gongsun Zan didn't know what the people were talking about, and his eyes were fixed on the south with a burning gaze.
Liu Yu, the shepherd of Youzhou, was an honest and kind-hearted elder, advocating gentleness, and was quite willing to put the sword in the treasury and let the horse go to Nanshan. The tens of thousands of troops under his command were once sharply reduced to 10,000, and he worked hard to restore it to 20,000.
.
However, there has been no war in Youzhou for two years, so what will happen no matter how large the army is? He misses the days of conquering Zhang Chun, Zhang Ju, and Wuwan people in You, Ji, Qing, and Xu.
At the end of last year, Yuan Shao wrote him a letter, saying that coming south to Jizhou would benefit both you and me.
Shared benefits? Gongsun Zan laughed. He was not a fool. How could he not see the flavor of exploitation? But he didn’t care. He really couldn’t stand the dull life in You Beiping and needed to come out for some air. Besides, was he so easy to use?
?Whoever wants to take advantage of himself will have to pay the price.
Although he is a Fenwu general and a Marquis of Ji, he still has to obey the orders of Liu Yu, the Grand Sima and the Shepherd of Youzhou. Liu Yu did not stop him from sending troops this time. It seems that Yuan Shao was colluding with him.
Central Plains, my Gongsun Zan is here
When all 20,000 troops crossed the Baoqiu River, Gongsun Zan gave the order to march southwest, pass through Guangyang, Zhuojun and enter the Hejian Kingdom of Jizhou. Xiangliang of the Hejian Kingdom was horrified. He only had thousands of county soldiers in his hands. How could he
After resisting tens of thousands of soldiers on the border, they sent people to quickly inform Han Fu, the Mu of Jizhou, and on the other hand, they succeeded in holding on to the governorship.
Gongsun Zan only wanted to help Yuan Shao force Han Fu, so he didn't have to be in trouble with Heliang. However, his purpose was to seize territory, so he had to capture the Hejian Kingdom, which is adjacent to Youzhou, to use it as his rear area.
Gongsun Zan sent people to persuade him to surrender but failed, so he immediately laid siege to the city, conquered the city in ten days, and captured Prime Minister Liangjiu of the Hejian Kingdom alive. He asked: "I went south to beg Dong, and my heart can be learned from heaven and earth. Why did the Prime Minister turn me away?"
Liangjiu was speechless, and Gongsun Zan's intention to kill shocked Jizhou, but Guanjing, the long history official, persuaded him to stop. Guanjing, named Shiqi, was born in Taiyuan, Bingzhou. He was about thirty-four or five years old. He had a broad forehead, a straight nose, and a determined gaze.
This shows the strength of his character. He was originally the magistrate of Wuzhong County in Youbeiping, Youzhou. He used severe methods to attack wealthy businessmen and eliminate powerful people. No one in the county was afraid of him. He was dismissed on false accusations. Later, he joined Gongsun Zan and served as General Fenwu.
.
Gongsun Zan successfully gained control of the Hejian Kingdom and took advantage of the situation to break into the Anping Kingdom.
Kong Biao, the prime minister of Anping, said that he had high arrogance after Confucius. He gathered more than 10,000 soldiers from the county to Xiabo and confronted Gongsun Zan on the banks of the Zhangshui River. Gongsun Zan attracted Kong Biao's attention with a frontal approach. Thousands of light cavalry on both sides sneaked across, and then attacked from both sides, and they were defeated.
Of.
Kong Biao fled very quickly. He quickly returned to Xindu, where he ruled, and immediately took his family to Julu County. The famous Jizhou general Zhang Jaw was stationed here, but he could not feel at ease. He then rushed to Wei County and fled into Yecheng.
.However, before he could let go of his worries, he suddenly heard that the Hussars General Gai Jun personally led tens of thousands of troops across Hengshan Mountain and entered Wei County, which was less than three hundred miles away from Yecheng.
Unexpectedly, he came out of the wolf's den and entered the tiger's den again. Kong Biao secretly said bitterly.
The one who suffered more than him was Han Fu, the shepherd of Jizhou. After Quyi rebelled, he joined forces with Yuan Shao, Gongsun came from the north, and Gai Jun arrived from the east. He stayed in Jizhou and didn't provoke anyone. He beat me anyway?
Why did he beat him? Gai Jun quickly wrote a letter explaining the reason. Jizhou owed Bingzhou three years (including this year) and refused to give him money and food. This time I came to ask for money and food. Originally, I should have asked you for it last year.
But thinking about your participation in the alliance to challenge Dong, you must have contributed a lot. For the sake of the country, Bingzhou will be aggrieved if you feel a little wronged. But what? You, Han Wenjie, don’t really want to fight against Dong at all. You live a life of drunkenness and dreaming in Jizhou all day long. You would rather
Even if the copper coins are rotten and the grain is moldy, I won't give it to Bingzhou. Do you think I, Gai Ying, are easy to bully?
The total amount of money for three years is 450 million. As for food, since the amount has not been fixed in the past, it is enough to spend 300,000 dan in one year and 900,000 dan in three years. Since you don’t know how to commend the Han Dynasty, I will raise it in person this time.
One hundred thousand tiger soldiers came to question the crime. The Art of War said, "If you raise an army of one hundred thousand, and send troops thousands of miles, they will spend thousands of gold a day." So I rounded up the whole number and took out one billion coins and two million grains of grain. The two sides made good terms as before. Before Gu arrived at Yecheng
Be prepared, if you lack a copper coin or a grain of grain, you will be responsible for the consequences.
Han Fu was dumbfounded. One billion yuan and two million stone grains, even if he sold him, he wouldn't be able to raise so much.
The situation in Jizhou was so bad that Han Fu was so frightened that he urgently summoned his staff to discuss countermeasures. Xun Chen, Guo Tu, Xin Ping and others from Yingchuan were all there and said nothing. Now is not the time for them to speak. Wait until
When Han Fu is desperate, is the best time for them to speak.
Changshi Gengwu, Min Chun, and Zhizhong Li Li are the most powerful people in Jizhou. The reason for this is entirely due to Han Fu, and we share weal and woe with him. Changshi Gengwu was the first to speak: "General, it seems that there are many dangers, but in fact, he is not.
Yuan Benchu has not crossed the Yellow River so far, so he has some scruples, so this road is safe for the time being. Zhang Junyi, a famous general of Zhao, has 20,000 troops. He should be able to stop Gongsun Zan from going south, and this road can be eliminated. Only Gai Jun is close at hand.
, it is most urgent, but as long as this road is broken, Gongsun and Yuan will be discouraged, and the crisis will be solved."
Han Fu said worriedly: "Gai Ying is a famous general in the world..."
Min Chundao, who was not driving, said: "Although Gai Jun claims to have 100,000 soldiers and horses, in my opinion, the number is at most 30,000 or 40,000. There are 60,000 soldiers in Ye, which is twice as many as the opponent. Why worry about not winning?"
Han Fu glanced sideways at Min Chun. There were 60,000 soldiers and horses in Ye city. Even including those guarding the city gate, there were only less than 50,000 people. They could not send out all their troops to avoid being attacked by Gongsun and Yuan clan. The maximum number of troops sent was four.
Wan. However, Han Fu was unwilling to let Han Fu capture him without any help, so he stood up and said, "Gai Ying is unjust and invades Jizhou. I should break it alone to serve as a warning to the world."
Geng Wu, the chief minister, did not drive Min Chun, and Li Li stood up and clasped his fists in the middle of the war, saying: "I am willing to go to the battlefield with the general."
Xun Chen, Guo Tu, Xin Ping and others looked at each other with a disdainful smile on their lips...
