The demise of Zhang Yan's forces was only a few days. Even if Yuan Shang wanted to save it, it was too late to send troops. The Yuan army that participated in the Battle of Hedong was less than 80,000 and suffered less than 6,000 casualties. But it wiped out 200,000 Montenegrin troops.

No one would have believed it unless they saw it with their own eyes.

Taiyuan County.

Jinyang.

Due to the difficult road, the delivery of the message is not easy. It was not until the end of the war in Hedong County that Yuan Shang knew that Yan Liang's army had started a war with Zhang Yan. Yuan Shang was worried that Zhang Yan would be destroyed, so he caused the 200,000 Black Mountain army to surrender to the enemy and strengthen Yuan Xi's strength.

He consulted with the trial and decided to mobilize tens of thousands of troops to assist Zhang Yan.

But he never expected that in just a few days, Zhang Yan's army would be wiped out. Hedong County also fell into the hands of Yuan Xi.

Inside the temple.

A lot of civil and military generals gathered.

Yuan Shang stood in front of a map and angrily reprimanded: "The guards of Huguan in Shangdang County are too slow to react. knew that Yan Liang was attacking Zhang Yan, but he didn't send troops to help quickly.... ”

"If they can use the army of Huguan and attack Yan Liang's Hanoi County when Yan Liang attacks Hedong County, they will definitely be able to relieve the siege of Zhang Yan."

It's a pity that Zhang Yan's 200,000 Black Mountain Army was surrendered by Yuan Xi like this. With Yuan Xi's means and financial resources, he will soon be able to collect all the Black Mountain Army soldiers, and by that time, his troops will be more than 100,000! ”

"This..."

The civil and military people in Bingzhou were originally very afraid of Yuan Xi. Now Zhang Yan's demise makes them even more frightened.

"The strength of the two states of Jiyou is already stronger than us, and now there are more Zhang Yan's 200,000 troops, we.... Can we still fight? After Yuan Xi reorganizes his military strength, it will definitely attack. Chun Yu Qiong said.

"General Chunyu is scared?" Yuan Shang asked with a calm face.

"Me? What am I afraid of?! Chun Yuqiong's old face turned red and he mustered up courage.

"It's good if you're not afraid..."

Yuan Shang snorted, sat down and said: "Although Yuan Xi is very strong now, don't forget, General Gaogan and the Xiongnu have united and defeated Xianbei and Wuhuan and approached the Great Wall. They will soon occupy Chengguan, which is dozens of miles east of Yanmen Pass. At that time, the Xiongnu army will drive straight into the territory of Youzhou. Do you think Yuan Xi still has the guts to fight me? ”

At this time, the corners of Yuan Shang's mouth hooked up a little.

The military advisor said: "What the lord said is extremely true. Now only the Xiongnu can balance Yuan Xi. And we need to hurry up and improve our strength. ”

"Hmm."

Yuan Shang waved his hand and said, "Tell me to go down and step up the construction of equipment." I need a lot of ballistas and catapults! Mr. Jeongnam, this matter is up to you personally. ”

"No."

The trial should be handed down.

He seemed to remember something, and said, "My lord, now all the princes are in a hurry to store the oil. It's really hard to collect the shops in our various places. It is better to send more people to check whether there are oil fields in the state. If the oil field can be discovered, then it will be more certain to fight against Yuan Xi. ”

"Well, you did remind me." Yuan Shang chuckled and said, "It's not just in the territory of the state. Other states and counties can also send people to check. If you can find an oil field, you will mine it secretly. Only a large amount of oil is the key to success! ”

"The lord is wise..." All humane.

The war in Hedong County not only aroused Yuan Shang's vigilance, but also made Cao Cao a little worried. The prefectures of the Central Plains occupied by Cao Cao, Xu, Yang, Yan, Yu, and the counties of Sili, have not yet recovered. In many places, the people were conscripted, which made agriculture slack, and thousands of miles of fields were barren, making it difficult to expand the grain depot. He was already short of food, and it was even more difficult for him to raise food.

"Fortunately, we have laid down Nanyang County. The number of people in Nanyang is equivalent to half of Yanzhou. The land is fertile and there are many families. With their support, the prime minister's strength will rise a lot. In the camp outside Wuguan, Xun You said.

"According to the detailed investigation, Liyang is forming a naval army. Did Yuan Xi want to occupy the Yellow River? ”

"It's not so much about occupying the Yellow River, it's better to say... Prepare for the Crusades. For him now, he may not have taken us seriously. Cheng Yu said.

"What are the prime minister's plans?" Guo Jia looked at Cao Cao.

Cao Cao's face was a little anxious and angry, put away a bamboo slip, and said: "The war in Chang'an must be ended as soon as possible!" The naval army of Nanyang County and the naval army of Luoyang should also be formed as soon as possible. Can't let Yuan Xi take the lead! ”

"What the prime minister said is extremely true." Guo Jia agreed: "Chang'an is a barrier against the warlords of Kansai, and it must be overcome." Li Dao and Guo Yan's Xiliang Iron Cavalry, which has extremely strong combat effectiveness, must also be subdued. After that, the army can be reorganized, or to resist Sun Yuan, or to enter Jingzhou. ”

"Hmm."

After Cao Cao thought for a moment, he said to Cao Hong on the side: "Immediately transfer troops and attack Wuguan..." ”

"No."

Cao Hong should go down.

"Wenyuan."

"The end will be." Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan were listed.

Cao Cao instructed: "After Wuguan, there will be countless dangerous mountains, all the way to Chang'an City. You choose 6,000 iron cavalry, after the city of Wuguan is broken, make a detour behind the enemy, wait for our army to arrive, attack from both sides, and annihilate Li Dao and Guo Yan. ”

"Order."

Zhang Liao responded.

.........

Cao Cao dispatched troops to attack the Wuguan City of Li Dao and Guo Yan. Although Wuguan is dangerous, and there are countless defensive equipment, but the defenders are incompetent and the troops are not much, after being attacked fiercely by Cao Cao, they only held out for half a day and were overcome.

After that, Cao's army was like a bamboo, and he went to Chang'an, the western capital.

..............

At this time, in Anyi City, Hedong County, Yuan Xi had already pacified the people in the city. Decisively surrendered the 180,000 Montenegrin army! These soldiers were Zhang Yan's subordinates, who were Yellow Turban Army, Liukou, and bandits in their early years, and gradually gathered in Taihang Mountain. For them, there is no absolute faith, everything is just for the sake of eating. Now that Zhang Yan has perished, taking refuge in Yuan Xi may not be a good way to live.

The generals and leaders of the Montenegrin Army, all those who surrendered voluntarily, held important positions.

Such as Wang Dang, Yu Poison, Left Bearded Zhangba, etc...

With their dedication, the 180,000 Montenegrin troops will be more loyal and reliable.

this day.

Yuan Xi summoned the generals and said: "The Black Mountain Army has been entrenched in Taihang Mountain for many years, and it was finally annihilated by us. The whole process took less than ten days, and the generals made a lot of contributions. When I return to Yecheng, the Military Administration Department will have its own heavy reward. ”

"Thank you, my lord..."

Yuan Xi pressed his hand slightly, and everyone took their seats.

Yan Liang hugged his fists and said: "After the lord occupied Hedong County and surrendered the 180,000 Black Mountain army, his strength has more than doubled, and Yuan Shang's annexation has been completely closed. Whenever you want, you can destroy him. ”

"The unification of Hebei by the lord is just around the corner!"

"Just around the corner, just around the corner.... The generals shouted excitedly.

Before the Battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao had already unified Hebei, and Qingzhou to the south of the Yellow River, a full four large states, was already the largest prince in the world. Even Cao Cao, who is entrenched in the Central Plains, cannot be compared. If the Guandu War wins, more than half of the world will fall into the Yuan family's pocket, but unfortunately the sky does not fulfill people's wishes, making the Yuan family in Hebei decline.
