Chapter 233: The Xiliang Army is defeated

The Xiliang people will be frightened, those who intend to surrender, those who intend to resist, and finally Li Wei shouted: "Han Yi's son-in-law wants to die for me, and when he wanted to be in the first three years of peace, Wang Yun's old thief was also like this." We waited for more than 100,000 people to enter Chang'an, beheaded Wang Yun, and finally gained the power of the world's division. Han Yixiao'er revived Wang Yun's poisonous heart of the old thief, and we can join forces together and rebuild the grand achievements of the past. ”

Guo Yan also shouted: "Chang'an and Hongnong are broken, which is not enough to raise the army, so we can wave our troops to the east." I heard that the land of Yuzhou under the rule of Han Yi has a lot of population and wealth, which is no less than the former Henan Luoyang. As long as we defeat Han Yi's army, the Central Plains will be at our mercy. ”

The generals of Xiliang responded in unison, put aside their grievances for the time being, plundered the young and strong soldiers of Hongnong County, gathered 150,000 soldiers, came from Wanghan Valley, and rushed to Luoyang.

Han Yitun Binggu City, after hearing the news, couldn't help frowning. At the beginning of this year, when I heard that Chang'an was in turmoil, in June, I secretly came to Luoyang to sit in town and wait and see the news of Chang'an and Hongnong.

Han Yi has always been unsure of the direction of the Han Emperor's affairs. I don't know whether it's better to stand up or let it be. But no matter what, if the Han Emperor wants to return eastward, sooner or later he will enter Luoyang, Henan. After the Han Emperor comes, let's see the situation again.

Therefore, when Li and Guo fought at the beginning of the year, Han Yi kept watching from the sidelines and ignored them. Until August, there was news from Hedong Wenchou, saying that the Han Emperor intended to return to Luoyang. Han Yi was afraid that he would fight with the reluctant Xiliang army, so he ordered the troops of Runan to gradually move towards Luoyang City. However, as soon as the army arrived, I heard the news that the Xiliang army had gathered 150,000 troops and was coming from Wangyang.

Henan Luoyang has been in his own hands since the third year of the first peace. After more than three years of tuntian and gathering people, there were 30,000 people near Luoyang, Henan Province, and 170,000 people in Dingkou. There was finally some vitality in Luoyang, and Han Yike didn't want to start another battle near Luoyang City, so he had to move his troops to the west to prepare for a decisive battle with the Xiliang army.

In December, the generals of the Xiliang Army finally came to the front line of Xin'an and Hangu. It's just that he wants to fight with Han Yi's army stationed in Gucheng, and none of the generals wants to be the vanguard.

After a pause for half a month, when the generals heard that the Wen Chou Department in Hedong had crossed the river to Shaanxi County when the Yellow River was frozen, the generals were cut off from returning. Wang Yang also sent light cavalry to Shang County, intending to attack Wuguan. When Han Yi gathered 20,000 troops from Yingchuan and Chenliu in Gucheng, he was busy leaving the customs at this time, with Zhang Jijun as the vanguard, and attacked Han Yi's army.

The west of Gucheng is narrow, and the wide place is occupied by Han Yi's army, and only 30,000 troops can be lined up. And Zhang Jijun happened to be 30,000, and he failed to catch lots, so he was appointed as a pioneer. Zhang Ji ordered his nephew Zhang Xiu to lead 5,000 troops to challenge, and Han Yi ordered Gao Ran to lead the troops to battle. The two armies fought a big battle, regardless of victory or defeat, and each collected his troops and returned to his camp.

Zhang Jixun Zhang Xiu asked, "How are the soldiers of the Ruguan Han clan?" ”

Zhang Xiu bowed and said: "Gao Lan is a famous general of the Han family, and the soldiers under his command are naturally not bad. and our troops are only between them. ”

Zhang Ji shook his head and said: "When Gao Ran was in the early days of Han Zhengdong, he was still a famous general. In the past few years, I have heard the names of Che La, Cheng Qi, Che Jing, Yu Hua, Tai Shici, Zhou Ge and other generals, that is, the names of Tian Palm and Wang Dang, and the name of the old soldier Huang Zhong's martial arts, which is not slightly worse than Gao Lan. What is it to be able to compete with Gao Lan. ”

Zhang Xiu sighed: "How can there be so many famous generals under the command of the Han family? I think it is difficult for the Xiliang army to win, so why don't you switch to the Han family? With his uncle's ability, Han Mingyuan shouldn't be too embarrassed by his uncle. ”

Zhang Ji was silent for a long time before he said: "My old man, I have been in the Xiliang Army for many years, and I have a very good relationship with the generals, so I can't bear to switch to Han Zhengdong and come back to attack them. ”

Zhang Xiu said again: "Why don't you lead the troops back to Hanguguan temporarily, take the mountain trail and go to Yiyang." Transferred to Lu's and Wuguan, took the land of Nanyang Liu Biao to consolidate itself, and then voted for Han Mingyuan or Liu Biao with his land? ”

Zhang Ji sighed: "That's it, that's it." When you are old, you will have to be charged with abandoning the army and running away, alas, ......"

Zhang Xiu persuaded: "Li and Guo are tyrannical and incompetent, and the good situation that Mr. Jia has worked so hard to maintain has been made like this by them, so it's no wonder that my uncle abandoned them and ran away." ”

Under Zhang Xiu's persuasion, Zhang Ji withdrew and returned to Hangu Guanzhong under the pretext of insufficient military food. When Li and Guo in Xin'an did not react, they abandoned the miscellaneous soldiers and led more than 10,000 elites to take the trail, heading south, towards Yiyang. Transferred to the Lu clan, took Wuguan, and attacked Danshui, Nanxiang and other places.

Li and Guo were shocked when they heard the news, but the Yiyang trail had been cut off by Zhang Jijun, and they couldn't catch up, so they had to order Yang Feng and Dong Cheng's army to fight again. Yang Feng and Dong Cheng combined 20,000 troops, and gathered the miscellaneous soldiers abandoned by Zhang Ji, and a total of 30,000 troops sent a letter to Guguan to line up.

Yang Feng ordered his general Xu Huang to fight, and Han Yi ordered Gao Ran to fight. The two armies fought a big battle, but they still did not distinguish between victory and defeat, and each collected his troops and returned to his camp. Han Yi heard that it was Xu Huang, and once again thought of the eight-foot-tall big man. So he ordered the envoy to go to Yang Feng's camp, and in the name of summoning Yang Feng, he secretly contacted Xu Huang.

When Yang Feng was a white wave thief, he once subdued Han Yi, and there was nothing to be embarrassed about when he subdued again at this time. It's just that Han Yi despised Yang Feng quite contemptuously back then, and he was only the position of Sima of the Ribbon Army, so he was quite hesitant and wanted to bargain with Han Yi.

However, after Xu Huang received Han Yi's letter, he said, "It is forgivable to lose yourself to a thief for the first time, but why is it that you have lost yourself to a thief repeatedly?" If you are good, this time should be the last opportunity, I hope you will grasp it. Xu Huang sighed silently after seeing the letter, and he hated it for thousands of years when he made a mistake. In the end, he led dozens of cronies and fled overnight, hoping that Han Yi's camp would come.

Yang Feng was shocked when he heard the news, and hurriedly led the army of his headquarters to chase Xu Huang, but was peeped at by the Gao Lan Department lying on the side of the camp, taking advantage of the situation and breaking Yang Feng's army. Fortunately, Dong Cheng led the army to catch him, and Yang Feng was rescued.

Yang Feng lost the support of the general Xu Huang, and was defeated for a while, and his heart was suddenly lost. After discussing with Dong Cheng again, the final decision was to surrender when he still had strength. So he sent someone to surrender to Han Yi, and sure enough, Han Yi dismissed the two of them from the position of general and once again demoted the two to lieutenants.

Zhang Ji fled, and the news that Yang Feng and Dong Cheng surrendered suddenly made there no way to escape, and the panicked Xiliang soldiers were suddenly discouraged. Li Dao and Guo Yan beheaded countless people in a row, which temporarily stopped the trend of collapse.

Li Dao and Guo Yan planned to have Han Yi's 70,000 troops in the east and Wang Yang and Wen Chou's 60,000 troops in the west. In the end, Li Dao and Guo Yan joined forces, and the two generals Duan Xuan and Yang Ding, who had always been incompatible, all gathered their troops in Hangu, preparing to take advantage of the heavy snow to completely break through the blocking of Han Yijun.

Yang Ding wanted to flee to Jingzhou, but he didn't want to be preempted by Zhang Ji, and blocked the mountain road. wants to descend to Han Yi, but there is no way to lead him. wanted to kill Li Dao and Guo Yan, but he was afraid that his troops would not be enough. When he was worried in the camp, Duan Xuan's personal soldiers suddenly came to invite Yang Ding to go to his village to talk.

Yang Ding's heart was evil, and he was at odds with Duan Xuan, and he almost had a life-and-death enmity. Two months ago, when he was in Huayin, he even conspired with others to attack Duan Xuan, and Duan Xuan was fortunate to have Guo Yan lead troops to rescue him, so he escaped with his life. This time I came to invite, there will be no good feast.

Yang Ding didn't go, he didn't want Duan Xuan to come by himself, and he came alone in the clothes of a pawn. Yang Ding's heart moved, and sure enough, Duan Xuan came to find Yang Ding to jointly kill Li Dao and Guo Yan. The two then took a break from the grudge and hit it off.

That night, Duan Xuan and Yang Ding rebelled, Li Wei was a ghostly and clever man, and the army had already prepared, and when he saw that the situation was unfavorable, he led the army to retreat westward. Guo Yan was unprepared, and was killed by Duan and Yang Erjun, and Guo Yan was defeated and fled. Duan and Yang Er then switched and surrendered to Han Yi.

Han Yi was overjoyed, and led troops into the customs to reward the second general, but the second general was still suspicious and did not dare to come to see Han Yi in person. Han Yi originally wanted to seize his army, but he was out of trouble. But when he heard the news that Emperor Han appeared in Yecheng, Han Yi realized at this time that all this was done by Cao Cao, who was ordered by Yuan Shao. The matter of Xiliang could no longer be ignored, so he appointed two generals, one as Feng Yi on the left, and one as Fufeng on the right, to lead the troops to pursue the two generals Li and Guo, and to protect the land of Jingzhao.

didn't want Guo Yan to be killed by his subordinate Wu Xi, so he led his troops to surrender to Hongnong's Wen Chou. Li Dao took the opportunity to lead the army to cross the frozen Yellow River waterway, and turned to Hedong County to run to Feng Yi. Duan and Yang Erjiang had to turn around and go to Feng Yi on the left. I didn't want Li Dao to turn to the right to support the wind again, and fled to Yicheng to hold on.

Right Fufeng was given to Yang Ding by Han Yiren, and Duan Xuan excused that the army could not cross the border, and only stopped at Zuo Feng Yi. Yang Ding hated it and led his troops to chase Li Dao to Yi County, but he was defeated by Li Dao and did not know what to do. Duan Xuan Dale, stationed troops in 10,000 years, and sent an envoy to visit Wang Yang of Chang'an, and attacked Li Dao in Yi County.

However, Li Dao still had 30,000 troops, and Wang Yang was afraid that a large-scale attack on Youfufeng would cause a sense of crisis among the generals in the Kansai region. The alliance of the generals of Kansai is quite large, although the people of Xiliang are few, but everyone can ride and fight, and can gather 100,000 soldiers and horses. Together with the close Qiang people, 200,000 people can also be summoned.

Wang Yang knew that Jingzhao and Hongnong had just started, and the people were scattered, and the land of Jingzhao, which had a household registration of millions of people, had only survived a year of rebellion in Li and Guo, and the people did not survive. Moreover, there is a shortage of grain and grass, and it needs to be transported from the east and west rivers of the river.

Han Yi, who was far away in Luoyang, ordered Jingzhao to maintain the status quo for the time being, and to make friends with the generals of Guanxi, rather than conquer. So Wang Yang rejected Duan Xuan's kindness, and just focused on gathering the displaced people, appeasing the people, and preparing for the next year's Tuntian.

Han Yi returned to Runan and closely followed the news of Yecheng. With Cao Cao's ability, although the territory was completely lost, there was no money and food for soldiers and horses. But with his talents, he can't take them lightly. Moreover, Yuan Shao has always been friendly with Cao Cao, and Cao Cao's advice, Yuan Shao will listen to it more.

Only since Cao Cao disappeared from Yecheng in recent years, and when he reappeared, he had already brought back the Han Emperor who was alone, and Han Yi knew that Cao Cao must have other plans. It's just that what is the use of the Han Emperor, who has long been down? Han Yi was still unclear for a while.
