As soon as Yuan Shao died, the war in Jizhou was completely calm, and he lost this heroic overlord as the backbone, although Jizhou was full of families, but there was no possibility of blocking the Taiping Army, with Xiao Lan's order, all those who resisted were all subjected to the most severe punishment!

Fighting local tyrants and dividing the land has always been the main policy implemented by the Taiping Army, and in this regard, the wealthy families of the noble clan are naturally on the verge of the end, but for the poor people at the bottom, it seems to have ushered in a new life.

Xiao Lan unreservedly spread the news of the complete defeat of Yuan Shao and the capture of Jizhou all over the world, for him, such a military situation does not matter how to keep it secret, and it is impossible to keep it secret, rather than hiding it, it is better to take the initiative to publicize it, which has an unspeakable effect on the Taiping Army's rule of the world.

The news spread all over the world, and the people who had already joined the Taiping Army were naturally elated, but for those who still cherished the Han Dynasty, this was really a devastating blow!

Yuan Shao and others, after the fourth and third dukes, the leader of the alliance of the princes of the eighteenth road, once led the army to defeat Dong Zhuo, forcing him to go away to Chang'an, after the unification of Jizhou, he had hundreds of thousands of soldiers, which can be said to be the largest force in the Han Dynasty, but even so, it was also strongly defeated by the Taiping Army, the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, and now there are only the states and the small half of Youzhou, and the territory of the Taiping Army is everywhere.

The general trend has gone, the general trend has gone!

The elders of the Han Dynasty who could understand the current situation couldn't help but sigh for it, Yuan Shao was defeated, Gongsun Zhan was not in good shape, and the only hope was Cao Cao who merged with the state. If he can withstand the invasion of the Taiping army, maybe there is still a little hope for the Han Dynasty.

The news of the Taiping army's capture of Jizhou was flying all over the sky, and naturally it inevitably spread to Bingzhou.

And Zhou, Taiyuan, Han Xian Emperor Liu Xie moved from Chang'an. At this time, Cao Cao was still a little loyal to the Son of Heaven, so he respectfully invited the Son of Heaven into the palace, and the surrounding area was the mansion of the hundred officials. Now that he can settle down with Cao Cao's help, he is already very satisfied.

However, there are many people in this world who don't know what to do, not long after the Son of Heaven stayed in the Taiyuan Palace, Dong Cheng, the general of the Che Cavalry, wrote that Cao Cao was disrespectful to the Son of Heaven, it turned out that Dong Cheng had a daughter who followed the Son of Heaven and was named a noble person by the Son of Heaven. I was dissatisfied, so I went to the book to participate.

But such as Taiwei Yang Biao, Huangfu Song and others, they are all looking at the nose and the nose, they are clear in their hearts, and Bingzhou is now Cao Cao's territory, and they have 300,000 heavy soldiers on hand, even if they are not traitors like Dong Zhuo. I'm afraid I won't serve the Son of Heaven wholeheartedly.

Looking at the battle report in his hand, Cao Cao was a little distracted. Shaking his head, he handed the battle report to Cheng Yu beside him, and said with a wry smile: "Although I had long expected that he was not Xiao Lan's opponent of the Taiping Army, I didn't expect that he would be defeated so soon, and he would be defeated." Youzhou Gongsun Zan is afraid that he won't last long. ”

"Alas" couldn't help but sigh in his mouth, Cheng Yu looked at the battle report in his hand, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's a pity that there is not enough time!" ”

"Why?" Cao Cao looked at Cheng Yu puzzled, his face full of doubt.

"We're running out of time." Cheng Yu said in a deep voice: "The Taiping Army started from Qingzhou in a short period of time. Even Kexuzhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Yizhou, Sizhou, Guanzhong, Liangzhou, and now below Jizhou, Youzhou is about to be annexed, and at that time, if the Taiping army has occupied nine-tenths of the world, with such a strong foundation, they can easily expand the army of one million, and we are limited to the terrain of the state, even if it is difficult to supply the current 300,000 troops, so the only time we have left is before the Taiping army firmly rules the territory. And this time is not destined to be too long, so I will say that there is not much time left for us. ”

Cao Cao frowned and said: "It will take some time to incorporate the Xiliang army, Huang Zhong's army is eyeing the front line of Chang'an, even if we want to send troops to help Gongsun Zhan, we are afraid that it will be too late, for the sake of now, we can only send people to Youzhou to persuade Gongsun Zhan to lead the troops to retreat into the state." ”

"The lord has a wonderful plan!" Cheng Yu smiled and said: "Although Gongsun Chan has suffered many defeats, he still has tens of thousands of elite horsemen under his command, and his strength cannot be underestimated. ”

Next to him, Chen Lin sighed: "However, don't forget, our time is limited, if there is no Gongsun Zan in Youzhou to delay the footsteps of the Taiping thieves, I am afraid that we will face the Taiping army earlier!" ”

Hearing this, Cao Cao couldn't help but hesitate for a while, after all, he couldn't help but sigh, and said in a deep voice: "Well, our top priority is to organize and train the 300,000 army under our command as soon as possible to enhance the combat power in order to meet the army of Taiping thieves." ”

The implication is to give up rescuing Gongsun Zhan, after all, although Gongsun Zhan's tens of thousands of troops are a large force, they are an external force after all, and after the defeat against the Taiping Army, morale has already fallen.

Just when Cao Cao was reorganizing the army, with the passage of time, the war in Youzhou gradually entered the final stage, when Gongsun Zan led the troops back to the army, he encountered Chen Zhi, Xu Chu and others leading the troops to ambush the Taiping army, and the losses were very serious.

Chen Zhi, Xu Chu, Tai Shici and Zhou Tai both had the upper hand, naturally they were chasing and fighting, Gongsun Chan took a wrong step, every step was wrong, and was defeated by Chen Zhi and others, and soon lost most of Youzhou, and when Xiao Lan completely broke through Jizhou, Gongsun Chan had already retreated to Yijing, and only twenty or thirty thousand remnants of the army were defeated.

Chen Zhi and others surrounded Yijing, but after repeated battles, the troops in their hands were also lost, only 30,000 horses remained, Yijing City was a tall wall, with 30,000 troops, but it was difficult to break, fortunately, at this time, Xiao Lan had already broken through Jizhou, with Zhang Liao and Xu Sheng leading 100,000 troops to support.

Gongsun Chan was defeated one after another, the morale of the defenders in the city declined, and some people naturally couldn't help but have different hearts, Wrinkle Dan was one of them, and after once again proposing to surrender and being scolded by Gongsun Chan, he returned to his residence, when even secretly gathered some generals close to him.

"Gongsun Chan doesn't listen to good words, and his demise is imminent, are you willing to follow him to perish together?" In the mansion, Fu Dan looked at the generals with a cold face, and said in a deep voice: "I miss me Fu Dan, I have been following his Gongsun Zan to fight in the Quartet, but now it's just a proposal, he doesn't accept it, and he even insults me, which is really unbearable." ”

"What does General Wrinkle mean?" One of the generals looked at Wrinkle Dan and lowered his voice as he spoke.

"Now the strength and weakness are very obvious, hundreds of thousands of troops of Yuan Shao in Jizhou have been defeated, and we are now only left in Yijing, with only thirty or forty thousand soldiers, how can we deal with the attack of the Taiping army?!" Fu Dan said in a deep voice: "Instead of sending Gongsun Chan to death together, why don't we take action together, capture Gongsun Chan, open the city and surrender, and win the capital to gain the capital to enter the body?" ”

"Wrinkle Dan, the Lord treats you well on a fair day, and now the Lord is limited to danger, you don't want to serve the Lord and just want to kill the Lord and kill the Lord today, and today I beheaded you as a villain at both ends of the snake and rat!" Among the generals, a young general shouted loudly, and drew his sword angrily.

"So, General Liu is going to be my enemy?" Fu Dan looked at the young general with a cold face, and between his words, there was a touch of cold light.

"So what? What kind of person is Liu, how can he ...... with an unfaithful and unrighteous person like you?"

Before General Liu finished speaking, a cold sword light suddenly swept up next to him, and he directly cut off General Liu's head, and the sword-wielding general looked at everyone indifferently: "General Wrinkle is right, Gongsun Chan is just self-serving, and his demise is imminent, but he doesn't want to be buried for him, I don't know what the generals think?"
