However, Yan Liang and Wen Chou were beheaded by Guan Yu, and Yuan Shao's 30,000 troops dispersed. When Yuan Shao in the rear heard about this, he was furious and urged the army to move quickly and set up formations around Linzi.
Gao Jin's army also arrived soon after, and immediately rewarded Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, while setting up defense lines and building high camps.
There were signs of a stalemate in the war. Yan Liang and Wen Chou were beheaded, which made Yuan Shao's army have low morale. Although they claimed to have 300,000 men, they did not have the courage to make a big move. However, Gao Jin's morale was high. Gao Jin personally went to Yuan Shao several times.
Yuan Shaojun just stayed behind closed doors during the battle.
Yuan Shao knew that something would happen if things continued like this, and he was very anxious. He summoned the interrogator and asked, "Zhengnan, now that the three armies are weak, what should we do?"
Shen Pei said: "Only by sending a brave general to frustrate the traitorous general can we restore morale."
Yuan Shao was hesitant. Yan Liang and Wen Chou were the bravest generals under his command. Gao Jin was as powerful as Zhang Fei and Guan Yu. There had been rumors about this for a long time. Who else in his command could rival him? He had lost a good general.
It was very heartbreaking. If he sent out another general and failed, not only would his morale be irreparable, but it would also be difficult for him to cheer up.
He was silent for a moment: "Can Gao Lan do it?".
The four generals under Yuan Shao's tent are Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Gao Lan, and Zhang Jaw. Zhang Jaw has not gone out with the army, so among his troops, Gao Lan is probably the only one who can take advantage of it.
Shen Pei said: "Although General Gao Lan is very brave, he is not sure. I have found a person who has extraordinary force and defeated General Wen. This person is a man from Changshan Zhending. He is eight feet long and has a majestic appearance."
, his marksmanship is like a god, and he can defeat Gao Jin."
Yuan Shao suddenly remembered the Battle of Panhe with Gongsun Zan a few years ago. At that time, the two armies met on the Panhe River: Shao's army was on the east of Panhe Bridge, and Zan's army was on the west of the bridge. Wen Chou rode his horse and drew his gun, and killed Gongsun on the bridge.
Zan fought with Wen Chou on the bridge. After less than ten rounds of fighting, Zan could not resist and ran away in defeat. Wen Chou took advantage of the momentum to catch up. Zan walked into the formation, and Wen Chou flew into the middle of the army on horseback. They clashed with each other. Four of Zan's generals
, fought together; Wen Chou shot him, one of the generals dismounted, and all three generals fled. Wen Chou drove Gongsun Zan out of the battle, but Gongsun Zan fled towards the valley.
At that time, all Gongsun Zan's bows and arrows fell, and his helmet fell to the ground. He rode his horse with his hair disheveled, galloping around the hillside. His horse lost its front, and Zan turned over and fell down the slope. Wen Chou twisted his spear to stab him. Suddenly, a young general turned out from the left side of the grassy slope, riding a Pegasus.
He raised his gun and attacked Wen Chou. The young man was eight feet tall, had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a broad face. He was majestic and majestic. He fought with Wen Chou for fifty or sixty years, but the outcome was not decided. Gongsun Zan's men arrived to rescue the army, and Wen Chou turned his horse back.
He left. The young man didn’t chase him either.
Later, Wen Chou returned to the camp and told Yuan Shao about the matter. They all said that this young general was very powerful. If the young man was not weak, he might not be his opponent. Yuan Shao was careful at that time. Now, many years later, this young general might be even more powerful.
Now that the judge mentioned it, Yuan Shao remembered this person.
Yuan Shao was also a man who loved talents and valued scholars, so he immediately asked with joy: "Where is this person?"
Shen Pei said: "After Gongsun Zan was defeated, the rest of the people surrendered, but Zhao Yun went alone. However, this person was once a white horse loyal servant under Gongsun Zan's account, and had contacts with many soldiers. If the lord sent someone to summon him, or
You can ask him to come and serve."
Yuan Shao nodded, and the white horse originally referred to those people who were good at shooting who followed Zan. Later, during the battle with the Xiongnu, Gongsun Zan deeply felt the importance of a team of elite cavalry. Therefore, those people who were good at shooting were taken as the prototype.
, formed a light cavalry troop. Because Zan loved white horses, the troops were all white horses. To express their loyalty, the troops shouted: "Where justice comes, life and death will follow you! The sky can tell you, and the white horse is the proof!"
"Hence the name.
The White Horse Yi Cong was formed by Gongsun Zan to deal with the Huns' light cavalry. During the period of fighting against the Huns, the White Horse Yi Cong experienced the most glorious period. The White Horse Yi Cong is a typical light cavalry unit with strong mobility and range.
Advantages. Congzan can rely on this light cavalry force for a long time to be powerful outside the Great Wall, and let the brave and capable light cavalry "family" like the Xiongnu escape after hearing the news...
However, in the Battle of Jieqiao, Gongsun Zan's White Horse Yi Cong met its nemesis - Ju Yi's 800 dead soldiers. At that time, Gongsun Zan saw that Ju Yi's soldiers were few, so he ordered the White Horse Yi Cong to launch an attack.
Reunion. The dead soldiers who climbed up first were all hunkered down under their shields, but when the white horse Yi Cong approached, they all suddenly broke out together, raising dust and shouting. They clashed straight forward, strong crossbows rained down, and those who were hit were bound to fall. On the battlefield, they beheaded Gongsun Zan's Jizhou Assassination Shi Yan Gang.
There are more than a thousand ranks at the top of the armor. Zan's army was defeated. He ran away on foot and on horseback and never returned to camp."
Baima Yicong was annihilated, and the main culprit was Zan. In that battle, Zan made several serious mistakes! If he saw that the enemy had few soldiers, he would think that the opponent was weak and underestimate the opponent's combat effectiveness. He also did not know how to use tactics and was rigid.
After setting up a formation, charge forward. And the low-level ones use light cavalry to attack the crossbowmen head-on.
Afterwards, when Gongsun Zan was destroyed, the Baima Yicong also weakened, and most of them were absorbed by Yuan Shao's army. Yuan Shao pondered for a moment and said: "You can teach me that the former Baima Yicong in the army summoned Zhao Yun, and I will treat him favorably."
Shen Pei nodded in agreement repeatedly and said: "General, now that Cao Jun and Gao Jin are united, our army is going to attack Xuzhou, and there may be many obstacles. Why not send someone to Shouchun to see the second general and order him to attack Xuzhou? Gao Jin will do nothing.
, and how to withstand attacks from both sides."
Yuan Shao was silent for a moment. He and Yuan Shu were both sons of Yuan Feng. The elder Yuan Shao was the elder brother and the younger Yuan Shu was the younger brother. However, Yuan Shao was a commoner and Yuan Shu was a direct descendant. In other words, Yuan Shao was the eldest son, but Yuan Shu was the eldest son.
The legitimate son was born to his first wife. Therefore, Yuan Shu always looked down on Yuan Shao, thinking that he was raised by his concubine. Although he was a brother, he did not recognize him. The two had enemies a long time ago. Yuan Shu once scolded Yuan Shao for being the seed of our slave.
This shows that the relationship between the two is extremely tense.
At that time, Yuan Shao wanted to establish Liu Yu as emperor. In order to gain the approval of the majority of people, he wrote to Yuan Shu, hoping that Yuan Shu could join him in supporting Liu Yu.
After Yuan Shu received the letter, he sneered in his stomach and cursed loudly: "You are worthy of being raised by a little wife. You came up with such a bad idea to establish another emperor. Why not establish yourself! Why are you so useless?"
Then Yuan Shu responded to the letter with great righteousness and said: "I only know how to destroy Dong Zhuo, I don't know anything else." Yuan Shao was half-dead.
Later, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan competed for supremacy. At that time, Gongsun Zan specially sent an envoy to befriend Yuan Shu, hoping to get Yuan Shu's assistance. It can be seen that the relationship between Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu is probably worse than that of most princes, and they are called brothers.
, but they are all thorns in each other's eyes. Now Shen Pei proposes to form an alliance with Yuan Shu. Yuan Shao has to think carefully. If he is rejected again, where will he put his face?
