Gongsun Chan once captured the former Youzhou Mu Liu Yu in the fourth year of Chuping, and under the persuasion of Han Yi and Gongsun Yue, Liu Yu was placed under house arrest for two years, so Youzhou gradually fell under the rule of Gongsun Zhan. However, when Yuan Shao appointed him as a hussar general and a pastor of Youzhou, Gongsun Zan felt that Liu Yu was useless, so he killed him.

However, Liu Yu's death angered most of the people in Youzhou who had subdued Gongsun Zhan. From time to time, Liu Yu's old troops gathered troops to avenge Liu Yu. Yan Rou, a native of Yan State, was also elected as Wuhuan Sima, and Yan Rou summoned tens of thousands of Hu people and Han people to fight with Gongsun Zhan in Ji.

Gongsun Zhan was unable to rescue Zhang Yan at all, but Han Yi led his troops north at this time, and Lu Yi's offensive was finally suspended because of this, giving Zhang Yan a chance to breathe. It's just that Zhang Yan's heart is quite upset, and she doesn't want to be saved by the enemy who killed her father-in-law.

After Che La's death, Liyang's army retreated to Henan, and Cao Cao led his troops to attack Gaolan with Zhang Jaw. Gao Ran was defeated, and only one city of Dongyang Wu was left in the eight cities of Dongjun in Hebei. Fortunately, Cao Cao was transferred away by Yuan Shao, and the general held Dongyang Wu.

The port of Liyang was destroyed, and the north bank was heavily guarded, making it inconvenient to cross the river. Fortunately, the Suiyang Canal had been repaired, and Han Yi was the leader turned to Cangting to cross the river. With the protection of Dongyang Wu's Gao Lan Division, Henan's 80,000 troops crossed the Yellow River safely. Han Yi led his troops straight forward, wanting to find the battle of Yuan Shaojun on the other side of Baigou, and recapture the lost seven cities of Dongjun.

When Han Yi had an army of 100,000 and Yuan Shao had an army of 90,000, the two sides were evenly matched. Han Yi ordered Zhou Ge and Deng Dang to make a detour to Dunqiu to attack Fanyang, Neihuang, and Liyang, and Han Rong, the general of the Yuan army, went to intercept them. Han Yi also ordered Gao Ran to lead 30,000 troops to make a detour to attack Qinghe, and Zhang Jaw led troops to intercept it. And Yuan Shao led troops on the west bank without fighting, and Han Yi couldn't cross Baigou if he wanted to, so he confronted each other for a while.

However, it was Yuan Shao who adopted the strategy of frustration and Tian Feng, saying that Han Yi was strong and Yuan Shao was weak. However, the Korean army came from afar, but the Yuan army fought on the mainland. Yuan Jun is only more than 100 miles away from Yecheng, and it is convenient to supply grain and grass. Although the Han army had the Suiyang Canal to transport grain, the distance was 500 miles. Even though Han Yi has abundant jurisdiction, he will not be able to persist after a long time.

Then asked Yuan Shu and Liu Biao to attack Han Yizhinan, and ordered the Yanyu clan to stir up chaos. And Xuzhou Lu Bu was filthy because of Zhang Yang's matter, and the Central Plains will be chaotic after a long time. Such a few times, Han Yi's army was tired, food and grass were scarce, and the court of Yecheng became more and more stable. and then ordered the world to fight against Han Yi, and he will be defeated. Yuan Shao thought so, and defended according to the danger, but he didn't fight.

The two armies of Yuan and Han confronted each other in Baigou, each lined up for dozens of miles, and the confrontation lasted for a long time, Han Yi was impatient, so that Liu Pi led the troops to cross the river upstream at night, and was broken by the ambushed Yuan general Zhang Xu. Under the rescue of Zhong Shen and He Yi, most of the dead and injured returned. Han Yi also ordered Wang Zhong to lead 5,000 elite soldiers to cross Baigou, and Yuan Shao ordered Murong Ping to lead thousands of strong crossbowmen to shoot indiscriminately across the river, killing and wounding thousands, and he could not cross the river.

Han Yi was bored and gathered the generals to discuss, and the staff officer Liu Ye bowed and said: "The lord used a large army to suppress Yuan Shao, but Yuan Shao built a fortress and held on to it. Since the main army cannot win, it can be won by surprise. ”

Han Yi asked: "When you are weak, you should make good use of strange soldiers, and when you are strong, you should make good use of regular soldiers." Now that Yuan Shao and I are in a strong position, I can just use strange soldiers. It's just that Yuan Shao's original foundation is in Ye, where else is Yuan Shao's salvation? ”

"There is nothing to be saved, but there is something to be saved." Liu Ye bowed and said: "Yuan Shao's power is not small, and he is not a person who can do it in a war. At this time, Yuan's army was in Yuancheng, and there must be emptiness elsewhere. It is better to send light cavalry to attack Pingyuan, Qinghe, Anping, Hejian, Julu, Zhongshan and other counties. Cut off its branches first, and cut off its wings. The beacon fire in Jizhou was everywhere, the people were panicked, the army's morale was discharged, and Yuan Shao was destroyed in another battle. ”

Han Yi followed his words and ordered Tai Shici to lead Han Hao, Wen Ji and other 10,000 Hu cavalry to attack Yuan Tan in the plains. The army was left behind, and Yang Li and others led the troops to defend the village, and secretly led Xu Huang's 5,000 troops to Ganling to reinforce Gaoran.

Gao Ran greeted Han Yi and said: "Zhang Jaw is brave, he is clever with his soldiers, and he is good at arranging the camp, which is not something I can defeat alone." The lord came just in time, and he was willing to ask the lord to command the army to break the enemy. ”

Han Yi and Gao Lan, Xu Huang and others climbed the heights and looked, only to see that more than 20,000 troops with Zhang Jaw went to the south of Ganling City, divided into more than 20 battalions, and spread out ten miles wide from east to west, choking the road of the Korean army to the north. Each battalion has ten deep trenches and antlers on the periphery, the obstacle facilities are extremely tight, the camps are connected, and the walled villages can be helped, and it is extremely difficult to attack from outside the camp.

Han Yi pondered for a long time, and then asked, "Is the west of Ganling a boundary bridge?" ”

Gao Ran responded: "Thirty miles west of Ganling is the boundary bridge where the two armies of Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao fought together. ”

Han Yi nodded and said: "If the jaw is broken, you can order a general to lead 5,000 troops to the boundary bridge to hold on, and not ask the Yuan army to come to the aid from the boundary bridge." The other armies prepared to attack the enemy in three days. ”

Gao Lanxi said: "Doesn't the lord have a way to break the enemy?" ”

Han Yi said: "Attacking the camp and the city, how can there be a way to defeat the enemy, there is only two ways: siege and storming. Since I led my troops north, I was not more than Yuan Shao in terms of troops, but I always had to fight with Yuan's army and compete. However, Yuan Shao guarded according to the river, and I couldn't fight, so I had to turn to the Qinghe battle and open my jaw. ”

"Looking at the camp listed by Zhang Jaw today, it is a law that is bent on observing. Ten miles of land, it is very cheap to rush inside. However, if our army focuses on attacking its east and west nodes, it will inevitably be in a dilemma. If I attack the Chinese army again with heavy troops, its army will be in chaos. In this way, the enemy may be defeated. ”

On the third day, the magistrates of Leping, Liaocheng and Boping counties each brought 5,000 people to come, Han Yi ordered Gao Lan and Li Feng to lead 10,000 troops to attack the enemy's Dongzhai, and Xu Huang and Xue Lan led 10,000 troops to attack the enemy's Xizhai, and led 15,000 troops to take the main village of Zhangjaw. Zhang Jaw looked at the handsome flag of the Korean character suddenly raised by the Han army, and couldn't help but be taken aback, and personally led 3,000 soldiers and horses out of the village to visit.

Han Yi ordered Gong Du to lead his troops into battle, and although the Zhangjaw army had few soldiers, it still killed Gong Du's army and retreated. Han Yi secretly admired it when he saw it, and ordered the captain Zhang Sheng to lead troops to attack Zhang Jaw. Zhang Jaw was already convinced that it was Han Yi who came in person, and saw Zhang Sheng coming from the left flank, so he led the troops to fight and go, and retreated into Dazhai to hold on.

At this time, he heard that there was an invasion of the Korean army in the east and west nodes, so he ordered the deputy general to go to preside over the defense and defend Zhongzhai to guard against Han Yi. Gao Ran and Xu Huang attacked very urgently, and they had already broken through two or three camps in the east and west of Zhangjaw, and Zhangjaw hurriedly ordered the soldiers and horses of the other villages to reinforce on the east and west.

Han Yi estimated that there were only seven or eight thousand people at most in the number of the Chinese army, and immediately called out the people to carry the soil to fill the trenches, and the soldiers raised their shields to destroy the antlers in the rain of arrows. However, the jaw is defensive, and the command distribution is calm. Although there are fewer enemies, they still block Han Yi to the death.

The battle lasted from morning to evening, and there was no progress except for the first success. As a result, the South Korean army suffered 5 or 6,000 casualties, and the Minzhuang also suffered thousands of casualties.

Han Yi was bored in his heart, he had always been the most taboo in his own battles, attacking fortified cities and fortified villages, not only did he suffer many casualties, it took a long time, and in the end, the gains outweighed the losses. Qinghe State was intercepted by an army with Zhang Jaw, and it could not be attacked, so the way to the north was cut off. I don't know how Tai Shici's trip to the plains was? If Yuan Tan can be defeated, he may be able to use the Bohai Sea to capture Hejian and Anping, and disturb Yuan Shao.
