News from all sides kept coming, and Han Xuan was worried, although he had just annexed Guiyang, he was very slow to digest it.

In September, Cao Cao adopted Xun You's strategy to clear the wilderness, but the Yellow Turban Army could not collect grain and grass, and there were too many people, so the grain and grass were soon exhausted, and the people's hearts were discouraged. Cao Cao led his army in pursuit and defeated all the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army in the area of Jibei. The Yellow Turban surrendered, and Cao Cao captured more than 300,000 soldiers and more than 100,000 men and women.

Cao Cao selected the elite of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban to form an army, called the "Qingzhou Soldiers". Since then, Cao Cao's strength has been greatly enhanced. At the same time, the imperial court heard that Liu Dai was killed in battle, and changed Jingzhao Yin Jinshang to the assassin of Yanzhou. Cao Cao confronted Jin Shang on the way, and Jin Shang fled to Yuan Shu. So Cao Cao occupied Yanzhou.

The reason why Han Xuan's development in Guiyang is slow is because Guiyang not only has a small population, but also has few talents. There are many vacancies in many county offices, and Han Xuan's current reputation is limited, and most of the recruits in the Zhaoxian Hall are ordinary talents. Although there is war in the north now, most of the soldiers have moved south, but they have all been displaced to Jingzhou, Yangzhou and other places.

And the part of the talents who fell into Jingzhou were all under Liu Biao's rule, and Han Xuan could only follow to pick up the leaks. Han Xuan is angry, Liu Biao has so many talents, and he doesn't keep it for himself.

Li Dao and Guo Yan killed the ministers of the imperial court, and wanted to poison the Son of Heaven, but fortunately, Fan Chou persuaded them, and the two of them hijacked the Son of Heaven instead, and became strange people. The two asked for the official title in person, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty named Li Wei as the general of the chariot cavalry and the marquis of Chiyang, and Guo Yan as the general and the marquis of Meiyang. So Li Dao, Guo Yan, Fan Chou and others jointly ruled the government, and Zhang Ji went out of Tun Hongnong to respond to each other. Up and down the government and the opposition, people's hearts are panicking.

Han Xuan was so angry that he slapped his palm on the table, startling the messenger. Han Xuan must speed up his development, otherwise how to avenge Dong Wan, Li Dao is far away in Chang'an, Han Xuan has to lead thousands of troops and horses to kill Li Dao.

It took Xu Rong four months to finally train a new army for Han Xuan, which totaled more than 5,000 people and was divided into five battalions.

A battalion broke the barracks, which was the death squad and vanguard in the army, charging into battle for the purpose of sabotage, but its own danger was also great, and it was inevitable that the soldiers would be defeated. Wei Yan served as the battalion commander.

The second battalion and seven killing battalions attacked the city and conquered the city, mainly attacking the city. Escort large siege equipment for the army to attack, where it passed, the city was broken and people died. Han Xuan let Huang Ergou serve as the battalion commander, and he had the ability of Lu Ban, and created siege weapons such as catapults, ladder troop carriers, and bed crossbows for Han Xuan.

Three battalions of greedy wolf battalions, tactical command, strange use of troops, ambush and sneak attack. Xu Rong served as the battalion commander.

Four battalions of giant gate battalions, eight formations of trapped enemy generals, there are in and out of the camp, and there is no return. Han Xuan acted as the battalion commander and commanded the generals in the center.

The five battalions of the Wuqu battalion, the generals capture the flag, and the soldiers are all served by those who have a foundation in martial arts in the army, holding a long-handled chopping sword, which is the elite of the elite. Huang Zhong personally trained them in archery and knife skills, and Huang Zhong served as the battalion commander.

According to the division of labor, the number of these five battalions is more or less, Chen Wu is responsible for escorting grain and grass, coordinating all parties, and the fire head army under his command can also be used as a guerrilla army to rescue all parties.

Han Xuan was going to fight to Chang'an, with Liu Biao and Yuan Shu in between, and Han Xuan was ready to fight with Liu Biao. Du Xun couldn't persuade Han Xuan.

Wang Cang supported Han Xuan and said to everyone: "If the lord wants to attack Liu Biao, it is not impossible. Now the lord and Jiaozhou Shixie have become allies, and the rear is worry-free. Liu Biao united with Yuan Shao and Cao Cao against Yuan Shu, and the lord could also unite with Yuan Shu against Liu Biao. Lingling Liu Du is leading his troops to attack Wuling County, Liu Biao's doppelganger lacks skills, and the lord can also unite with Liu Du to attack Liu Biao. ”

Han Xuan thought about it again and again, and felt that what Wang Cang said was reasonable, so he immediately sent the members of the Shadow Tiger Army to quietly send the letter to Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu agreed to join forces with Han Xuan, and Han Xuan sent someone to send 5,000 pieces of grain and grass to Liu Du, and asked him to attack Liu Biao together.

How was Liu Du's opponent of Wuling Taishou Jin Xuan, and Liu Du personally led the army all the way to Wuling City. Jin Xuan summoned the generals, ordered the elite soldiers, and went out of the city to meet the enemy. Jin Xuan's subordinate Gong Zhi admonished: "Liu Junli is the imperial brother of the Han Dynasty. In addition, Pan Wushuang is very brave. It is better not to fight, than to surrender to the top. ”

Jin Xuan said angrily: "Do you want to communicate with the thief as an internal change? ”

Jin Xuan drank and ordered the samurai to push Gong Zhi out and behead him. All the officials pleaded for Gong Zhi: "Kill your own people first, it is not good for the army." ”

Jin Xuan had no choice but to retreat from Gong Zhi and led 5,000 elite soldiers out of the city. Twenty miles away from the city, Pan Feng is welcome. Pan Feng stood on the horse with the Xuanhua axe sideways, and drank the golden spin.

Jin Xuan asked the generals behind him: "Who dares to fight?" ”

Everyone was afraid of Pan Feng's big axe and didn't dare to move forward. Jin Xuan had no choice but to face Pan Feng with a knife on his own horse, and Pan Feng laughed and said: "Hahaha~ It's a good time!" My big axe is already hungry and thirsty! ”

Pan Feng's laughter was like a bell, Jin Xuan was shocked, he didn't dare to confront him, and turned his horse away. Pan Feng and Xing Daorong led the army to cover up and kill. Jin Xuan walked to the edge of the city, and arrows shot down from the city.

Jin Xuan looked at the people on the city tower in surprise, Gong Zhi stood on the city and said: "When you don't follow the sky, you will bring about your own defeat, and I and the people will surrender to Brother Liu Huang." ”

Before Gong Zhi finished speaking, an arrow hit the door of Jin Xuanmian, Jin Xuan fell under the horse, and the sergeant cut off Jin Xuan's head and dedicated it to Liu Du. Gong Zhi went out of the city to surrender, Gong Zhi knelt on one knee in front of Liu Du with the seal ribbon, Liu Du was overjoyed, and let Gong Zhi replace Jin Xuan after accepting the seal ribbon.

Liu Du occupied Wuling, Liu Biao was shocked, he didn't expect Han Xuan and Liu Du, two little-known people, to actually capture the four counties of Jingnan. Liu Biao is worried, there is Yuan Shu in the front, Han Xuan and Liu Du in the back, how long can he sit in Jingzhou? Liu Biao immediately summoned Kuai Yue, Yi Ji, Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, Huo Du and others to discuss,

Cai Mao said: "The lord still needs to assist Yuan Shao and Cao Cao to fight against Yuan Shu, and if Yuan Shu is defeated, Han Xuan and Liu Du are not worried. ”

Kuai Yue said: "De Jue's words are wrong, Han Xuan and Liu Du are both hidden dragons, if they are not eliminated today, it will be a big disaster in the future." The four counties of Jingnan have been fully controlled, which shows the ability of these two people. ”

Liu Biao agreed with what Kuai Yue said, and let Cai Mao and Zhang Yuntun soldiers in Nanjun to resist Liu Du. and let Jiang Xia guard Huang Zu too much to resist Han Xuan.

In the spring of 193, Han Xuan led a large army and five battalions of the new army, totaling more than 10,000 people, to march towards Jiangxia, and Liu Du led the army from Wuling to attack Han Xuan.

Jiangxia Taishou Huang Zu led his subordinates Su Fei to lead Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng to resist, Han Xuan came out and pointed at Huang Zu and scolded: "Huang Zu, I want to lead the army to crusade against Li Dao Guo Yan and get rid of thieves for the country." Why did you lead an army to stop me? ”

Su Fei, the governor of Huangzu Capital, said: "You brought a large army here, and you know that this is not your plan to kill the enemy on a false path?" ”

Han Xuan retorted: "I only punish Li Dao, just to take advantage of the road, and I have no intention of offending the boundary of Liu Jingzhou." ”

Suddenly, a cold arrow shot towards Han Xuan, and Huang Zhong beside Han Xuan hurriedly slashed the arrow, and Han Xuan hurriedly retreated into the formation. Huang Zhong scolded Huang Zu and the others: "Despicable villain, you dare to secretly release a cold arrow to hurt my lord." ”

Wei Yan was furious and asked to fight. Han Xuan agreed, Wei Yan led a thousand soldiers to break the barracks and rushed towards Huang Zu's army, and Huang Zu hurriedly ordered Su Fei to lead his troops to resist. Where is Su Fei's opponent of Wei Yan, he was defeated and fled after fighting with Wei Yan, and the soldiers who broke the barracks couldn't wait to stand up, they were like a sharp sword out of the sheath, and they slammed into the Huang Zu army.

Huang Zu is a mediocre talent, the soldiers are trained and led by the governor Su Fei, Su Fei is disheartened when he is defeated, and the soldiers who broke the barracks are not afraid of death, and Huang Zu has to retreat.

Han Xuan waved his army to cover the killing, Huang Zujun was killed on his back, and Huang Zu had to retreat to Shaxian Water Village to hold on.

Han Xuanjun pursued, preparing a small boat to attack Huang Zujun, Huang Zu's generals Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng led the navy to attack Han Xuan's army boat, Han Xuanjun fell into the water countless. Han Xuan had no choice but to let the soldiers withdraw first, he had not been able to find a suitable general to be the commander of the navy, and the navy had not been formed for a long time, so he suffered a loss in the battle with Huang Zu this time.
