Chapter 465: Qin Sun Cao Jieyi

Zhang Shixin left Luoyang full of confidence, but before he could reach Dagu Pass, he got the news that the first wave of reinforcements had been defeated by Bai Qi.

In desperation, Zhang Shicheng had to wait patiently for the follow-up troops to ensure that nothing was possible, but what he didn't know was that every day that dragged back the time, the lower the probability of him capturing Dagu Pass.

Fang Guozhen on the other side was also sad, he had not yet arrived at Mengjin Pass, and he got the news that Mengjin had been captured by the Han army.

This time, in order to capture Mengjin and the more than 100,000 allied troops of the three parties in Liangshan, they paid the price of more than half of the damage, and they reluctantly captured this fortress.

Although more than half of the Han army in Mengjin Pass was damaged, it was not something that could be solved by Fang Guozhen's hands, so he had to retreat to Xiaopingjin and wait for reinforcements to arrive before attacking.

Song Jiang, who accepted Zhao'an, in order to show his loyalty to the Han Dynasty, was also completely open-minded, and took the initiative to take over the main attack.

For this reason, Liang Shan paid the price of blood, and the whole army was directly reduced by three-quarters, and the three leaders of Ruan Xiaoer, Ruan Xiaowu, and Ruan Xiaoqi were killed in battle.

Song Jiang's efforts were also rewarded, and Huangfu Song directly appointed him as a partial general, and truthfully reported his achievements to the imperial court, and it is estimated that Song Jiang will at least be given a position of Taishou after the war.

The battle of Mengjin made the Yellow River water red again, last time it was Xiang Yu's and He Jin's Yellow River decisive battle, and the losing Han army, but this time it was the Yellow Turban.

The fall of Mengjin Pass marked the formation of the 'Trapped Dragon Bureau', and 800,000 yellow turbans were completely trapped and died in Sizhou, and they could not advance or retreat from then on.

Now, Luoyang has faced three enemies, Huangfu Song in the north, Bai Qi in the east, Qin Hao in the south, and Qin Wen in the west.

If it's summer, with the huge strength of the Yellow Turbans, it may not be impossible to break the cage.

But the key is that it is a cold winter now, and the strength advantage of the Yellow Turbans has been weakened to the lowest by this ice and snow, and in such a cold climate, the army cannot exert its full strength at all.

Of course, the biggest crisis for the Yellow Turbans is not the climate, but the fact that the people's grain reserves have been exhausted.

Three million people in Sizhou are about to run out of food, and will the yellow scarves release grain to the people?

Hangu Pass, Han Army Marshal's Tent.

Qin Liangyu's delicate face was full of joy, and after walking quickly into the handsome tent, he reported: "Father Qi, Mengjin Pass has been captured by General Huangfu, and now the four gates of Sizhou have returned to our army. ”

Qin Liangyu and Mu Guiying did not go south with Qin Hao, and during the time they left Qin Hao, the two daughters and the daughter-in-law of the Yang family almost really drummed up a women's army, and defeated the Yellow Turban several times.

This lady is led by Qin Mu and the daughter-in-law of the Yang family, and the daughter-in-law and daughter of the Yang family are the backbone, although they are only five hundred sword pointing bow infantry, they can greatly expand their forces at any time, and there is no shortage of soldiers.

During the war years, women and widows were the most numerous, and the Girl Army recruited only women between fourteen and thirty-five.

At present, the composition of the women's army is very mixed, there are folk girls and ladies, and the proportion of young ladies is not low, all thanks to the yellow scarf.

The Yellow Turbans slaughtered the Kanto family, but showed mercy to the women and children, and these women lost the protection of the family, and their lives in the future must be quite difficult.

The birth of the Women's Army is equivalent to giving those poor women who can't survive a place to live, where they can live well without selling their bodies.

Guanzhong was not devastated by the Yellow Turban, so the attraction of the Women's Army has not yet been reflected, if the Women's Army is drawn to Kanto, it is not impossible for the troops to quickly break 10,000.

"Okay, that's great."

After hearing Qin Liangyu's report, Qin Wen got up from his seat excitedly, and after fighting for so long since he went south, Qin Wen had never been so excited.

But this time is different, retaking the four gates means that the end of the Yellow Turban is not far away, and the end of the Han family is also coming, so Qin Wen can not be excited.

Most of the generals present were future princes, and they were very comparable in both knowledge and strategy, and after hearing the news, they could naturally see that this battle was won by the Great Han.

Dong Zhuo was the first to stand up and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the virtuous brother, who is about to make immortal achievements." ”

Burying 800,000 yellow scarves in one fell swoop, can this not be an immortal achievement?

As soon as he thought of this, Dong Zhuo's eyes couldn't help but flash a trace of jealousy.

Whether it is a minister or a general, the highest pursuit is to be famous through the ages, and Qin Wen will soon reach it.

Regardless of whether Qin Wen has merits in the future or not, it will be written in the history books that Qin Wen is the commander who buried 800,000 yellow turbans in one fell swoop, and this alone is enough to make Qin Wen's fame spread through the ages.

Qin Boren, wait, sooner or later I will achieve greater feats than you, and I, Dong Zhongying, will never be weaker than others. Dong Zhuo secretly made up his mind in his heart.

The concept of hierarchy in the army is very important, even if Dong Zhuo is the deputy governor, it is very rude to call the lord 'brother' on a formal occasion, but Qin Wen didn't care at all.

Dong Zhuo is on the same level as Qin Wen in terms of official position and title, and the soldiers and horses in his hands are still above Qin Wen, so Qin Wen naturally doesn't care about such trivial matters.

"Where, where is this, Ben Shuai is just doing his best, and today's situation is all thanks to your efforts." Qin Wen said modestly.

When the generals heard this, they all laughed and said, "The governor is too humble." ”

Qin Wen didn't refute either, and said with an indifferent smile: "The three eastern gates of Sizhou are weak, but they have to face the counterattack of the Yellow Turban's nearly 700,000 army, if they really let the Yellow Turban break the gate, it will be too late to regret it."

Now Hanya must divide his forces to support in order to strengthen the defenses of the East Three Gates, so as to completely trap the Yellow Turbans. I intend to divide the troops into two routes, one south and one north to support the three passes, who of the generals is willing to lead the army? ”

The Han army has more than 100,000 troops in Sanguan, even if there is time to help, it is not easy to block the Yellow Turban counterattack, which is cleared by everyone, so it is imperative to divide troops to support.

Cao Cao was the first to stand up: "The last general is willing to lead troops to support the three passes."

Seeing this, all the generals couldn't help but scold Cao Cao for being cunning, and then they all began to ask for battle, after all, it was useless to stay in Hangu Pass, so it was better to lead the troops out.

"Governor, Yuan Shao is willing to lead the army to support."

"Sun Jian......"

"Gongsun Chan ......"

……

"Since the third brother is the first to ask for his life, then let the third brother lead the Southern Route Army, and the second brother is the deputy general." Qin Wen looked at Cao Cao and smiled.

Cao Cao was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Governor Xie, no, Brother Xie." ”

Why did Cao Cao and Sun Jian become brothers with Qin Wen?

This has to start from two months ago, when Yiyang City was lost, and Qin Wen encountered Zhu Yuanzhang's ambush on the way to Yewang City.

If it weren't for Cao Cao and Sun Jian to save each other with all their might, Qin Wen might have been killed by Zhu Yuanzhang, so he was naturally full of affection for the two.

In the series of wars that followed, the like-minded three soon formed a deep friendship, so they simply became brothers with different surnames.
