Chapter 736: The Newspaper That Took the Lead
At this time in Jizhou, Gongsun Chan not only performed well militarily, but also had the upper hand politically, and a well-founded letter to Yuan was passed between the counties and counties of Jizhou......
"Yuan Shao IV and the Third Duke, in vain, are designed for evil and flattery, and cannot be straightened ......"
"When the king is in trouble, he turns a blind eye, hangs the festival and escapes without permission, and is disloyal to the society......"
"Since he is the leader of the alliance, he should attack Dong Zhuo, and if he does not tell his father and brother, Taifu will kill his family together, which is really unkind and unfilial......"
"The name is Xingbing, but in fact it is a colony, collecting money for examinations, not holding the national difficulties, and the people complain bitterly......"
"Stealing Jizhou, carving gold and jade, thinking that the seal, every time there is a down, the text is called the edict, which is really a false life......"
and so on, listed all kinds of Yuan Shao's crimes, and the most important thing about these charges is that they are very well-founded, which caused the Jizhou scholars who originally supported Yuan Shao to start muttering,
But although Gongsun Chan issued a letter to beg Yuan Yuan, and scolded him very coolly, he did not fail to control the scope and included some people and things in it, so whether Gongsun Chan did it intentionally was not known to outsiders.
For example, Yuan Shao has no brother and no father, and is unkind and unfilial, so it is equivalent to pulling Yuan Shu into the water......
For example, Yuan Shao carved gold and jade and forged the emperor's order, so doesn't it reflect that Liu Yu almost became the pseudo-emperor appointed by Yuan Shao before?
However, these things are not Gongsun Zhan's headache now, and it is Jizhou Mu Yuan Shao Yuan Benchu who has a headache to death at the moment......
To be honest, Yuan Shao never thought that the current situation would become such a situation, in fact, he always thought in his heart that it was like Liu Xiu had the support of Hebei Haoqiang back then, and now he holds the Jizhou Mu, which is naturally the destiny of heaven, and then the Quartet looks at the wind and descends, how can there be so many broken things!
But Yuan Shao also had to calm down and face the reality - he didn't have enough cavalry to fight against the white horse servants who crisscrossed Youzhou.
Many people think that the White Horse is a ranger, light armor, mounted archery, fast speed, and kills enemies in circles......
In fact, such a perception is wrong, the Youzhou cavalry once had a name - "Turquoise Cavalry"!
When the two Han Dynasty handed over, Liu Xiu recruited a large number of Wuhuan and Youzhou Han people at that time to form the Youzhou Assault Cavalry, and this brigade followed Liu Xiu, the founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, to sweep away the heroes and dominate the world.
Later, due to the continuous deployment of Youzhou Turquoise elite cavalry in the Eastern Han Dynasty to supplement the Central Army, the Han people were no longer the main force of this cavalry in the middle and late Eastern Han Dynasty, and the Wuhuan and Xianbei people recruited by the annex became an important supplement to this army.
By the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the heavy armored cavalry of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry who fought with Xiqiang, the group's frontal charge tactics were basically mature, and this tactical method was also transmitted to Youzhou, and the Youzhou Assault Cavalry was more adept at using bows and arrows than the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, so it also had the ability to strike at a long distance.
If it is said that according to the level of armor and equipment, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is a pure heavy cavalry, and the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry is a ranger in armor, and the Youzhou Assault Cavalry is between the Xiliang Iron Cavalry and the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, which can not only be frontal and anal, but also use bows and arrows to attack remotely, so Gongsun Chan relied on the Youzhou Cavalry to repeatedly defeat strong enemies and dominate the north for a while.
The Wuhuan people in Youzhou Tuqi were not under the control of the Eastern Han government in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, rebelled many times, and repeatedly attacked and plundered the Han land, and Gongsun Zhan's boss, Youzhou Mu Liu Yu advocated a policy of Huairou and maintained a kind and broad mind, but Gongsun Zhan thought that the Wuhuan people were arrogant and difficult to control, insisted on encirclement and suppression by force, and always believed that all Hu people who dared to go to the Han border to loot should all die, and only the dead Hu people were good Hu people, and also brought together a lot of Han people who were poisoned by the Hu people in the border counties, including 3,000 elites, known as " White Horse Righteous Cong", brave and good at fighting, famous far and near.
Even the Wuhuan people know that the battle "should avoid the white horse", and they dare not easily touch the edge.
Now when such a sharp and powerful murder weapon was pushed in front of Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao naturally felt great pressure.
Retreat is absolutely not refundable.
Yuan Shao knew in his heart that once he took half a step back, it would be a catastrophe, and the Jizhou scholars, who had already had a wave of favor, would not necessarily turn around immediately and hug Gongsun Zhan's thighs, but they would also knock Yuan Shao directly into the dust and step on it a few more times......
Not to mention nowadays
However, if you want to fight, how will you fight?
Relying on a large number of people is definitely not good, there are more than 30,000 people in the Yellow Turbans of Qingzhou who went north, and they were directly disabled by Gongsun Zan in one fell swoop, killing and injuring nearly 10,000 people.
Therefore, at the moment, Gongsun Zhan's cavalry was roaming around, exerting pressure and blows on some counties in the north of Jizhou, but Yuan Shao could only squat on the boundary bridge in a group, not daring to move, lest Gongsun Chan catch the flaws between the marches, which would be a catastrophe......
But shrinking is not a way, not to mention watching the morale of the soldiers drop day by day, and the replenishment of this soldier's rations alone is becoming more and more difficult day by day, if it continues like this, maybe without Gongsun Zhan's attack, Yuan Shao's own position will be chaotic.
"Ming Gong! Great joy, great joy! Tian Feng came from outside with a smile, and when he saw Yuan Shao, he was a long man, and then he looked happy.
"Yuan Hao, how happy is it?" Yuan Shao was in need of some exciting news, so he asked anxiously.
"Ming Gong, please take a look......" Tian Feng took out a newspaper from his sleeve and sent it to Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao took a look, skimmed it, and couldn't help but raise his head, frowned and said, "Niu Fu has given the head?!" "What's the good news here, Tian Feng, are you confused......
As soon as Niu Fu died, it means that the Xiliang Army is basically a group of dragons without a leader, so wouldn't Wang Yun be able to sit firmly in Chang'an City? How could such a situation be what Yuan Shao was willing to see?
Tian Feng said "um", of course, he also understood what Yuan Shao meant, so he said: "Ming Gong, this newspaper can solve the urgent needs of the eyebrows, and ......"
Yuan Shao looked at the letter suspiciously, and saw that the newspaper read: "...... The rebels invaded Hedong in the north and plundered the countryside...... The hidden commander of the troops came to the south to help, and the auxiliary Chen soldiers were under the city of Anyi. Auxiliary order Hu cavalry conflict, sneak into the car formation, with a big shield bravely refused, auxiliary can not be broken. There are few light submariners in the rear, and the iron cavalry is sent to charge the battle, and the strong crossbow is lurking in the formation, and the auxiliary iron cavalry has countless casualties, and the sub-cavalry attacks it sideways, and the auxiliary cannot resist, and the defeat retreats for a hundred miles......"
"This ......" Yuan Shao was more and more surprised the more he looked at it, and pointed to the newspaper and said, "...... What a joy! With this method, you will definitely be able to break the white horse of Gongsun! ”
After a pause, Yuan Shao said with some hesitation: "...... However, Di Bao is bright and famous all over the world, and I am afraid that Gongsun will also know it......"
Tian Feng arched his hand, and said with some meaning: "Ming Gong and relax, this is a fast horse, and the report of the imperial court has not yet arrived in Hano......i."
Yuan Shao rolled his eyes, then gritted his teeth and said, "That's it...... Come on, drumming! Gathering! ”
