Chapter Eighty-Three: Taking Chestnuts from the Fire, Jizhou Changed Hands
Yuan Shao received the news that Gongsun Zhan had sent troops, and immediately sent someone to report to Han Fu. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info Han Fu hurriedly summoned Xun Chen and Xin Ping to discuss.
Xun Chen said: "Gongsun Zan led Yan and replaced the people, and he came for a long time, and his edge was not to be controlled. With Liu Bei, Guan, and Zhang Zhizhu, it is difficult to resist the enemy. Yuan Benchu was wise and brave, and his famous generals were very wide, and the general could ask him to govern the state affairs together, and he would treat the general well, so he would not worry about Gongsun Zhan. β
Han Fu had no ambitions, felt that he could not resist Gongsun Zan, accepted Xun Chen's opinion, in order to show sincerity, sent his son to invite Yuan Shao, Changshi Geng Wu persuaded: "Jizhou soldiers have more food, Yuan Shao is a lonely guest and a poor army, looking up to me to breathe, such as a baby on the palm, cut off his milk, and will starve to death immediately." How can you give a state commission to someone else? This is to lure the tiger into the flock! β
Han Fu said: "I was originally a former official of the Yuan family, and my talent is not as good as the beginning. Since ancient times, there have been stories about choosing the virtuous and letting go, why should you be jealous? β
Geng Wu sighed: "Jizhou is resting! "All of a sudden, more than 30 people left their posts. Only Geng Wu and Guan Chun were ambushed outside the city, waiting for Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao was overjoyed when he saw that Han Fu sent his son to invite him personally. A few days later, Yuan Shao, under the leadership of Han Fu's son, led his troops to Yecheng. Geng Wu and Guan Chun drew their swords and killed Yuan Shao. Unexpectedly, Yuan Shao had already prepared, and the generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou had already followed. These two were the opponents of Yan Liang and Wen Chou, and they were immediately hacked to death with knives.
After Yuan Shao entered Jizhou, he appointed Han Fu as the general of Fenwei, and took charge of state affairs with Tian Feng, Fu Zhu, Xu You, and Feng Ji, and seized the power of Han Fu. Han Fu regretted it, left his family behind, went to Chenliu alone, and went to Zhang Miao.
Gongsun Zhan, who was halfway through the march, learned that Yuan Shao had taken Jizhou, and sent his younger brother Gongsun Fan to meet Yuan Shao, asking him to abide by the agreement and divide the land of Jizhou equally, and asked Gongsun Fan to tell Yuan Shao, "I have brought 100,000 Youyan Iron Cavalry Chen Bing Youji, waiting for his summons." β
Yuan Shao was shocked when he heard that Gongsun Zhan had brought 100,000 troops over, and hurriedly convened all the strategists to discuss. The opinions of the strategists are different: some advocate fighting, and some advocate peace. Frustrated and said: "Gongsun Zhan, tiger and wolf, now that Yuan Gong has just won Jizhou, and the situation is not stable, it is better to recommend Gongsun Zhan's younger brother Gongsun Fan to be Bohai Taishou, press him, and then slowly think of a way." Yuan Shao nodded in agreement.
In the third year of the first peace (192), the Qingzhou Yellow Turban was re-established, besieging Bohai, Gongsun Chan personally led the army to conquer the Yellow Turban, and killed 30,000 Yellow Turbans in a war, and countless prisoners were captured, and Gongsun Chan selected nearly 70,000 strong soldiers from it as an army. For a while, Gongsun Zhan's voice was greatly inspired.
The ambitious Gongsun Zan appointed Tian Kai as the Qingzhou Thorn History, Liu Bei as the Plains Minister, Yan Gang as the Jizhou Thorn History, and Shan Jing as the Bingzhou Thorn History. Ordered Yan Gang to lead the men and horses as the vanguard of the front and attack Yuan Shao. When the news reached Jizhou, Yuan Shao hurriedly discussed with the strategists, Ren Juyi was the vanguard, Han Meng was the deputy, and Yuan Shao personally led tens of thousands of infantry troops as the rear army.
Yan Gangbu met Ju Yi 20 miles east of Jieqiao. This Ju Yi was originally a fierce general of Xiliang, because the Ping Yellow Turban stayed in Jizhou, was extremely familiar with the tactics of light cavalry, and trained a strong team to deal with light cavalry. These men held a large shield in one hand and a shoar in the other, and their names were "Ascend to the Dead." β
These people saw Yan Gang rushing over with light horses, and they all fell to the ground. When Yan Gang's cavalry saw it, he didn't know what to do, he only despised it in his heart, drove his horse galloping, and trampled past.
Who knows, just as the horse's hooves were about to step on it, a sudden change occurred, the shield was turned up, and the hands were fired in unison. Yan Gang's cavalry fell off their horses one after another, and suddenly there was a big chaos, and they fled in rout. Ju Yi and Han Meng took advantage of the situation to catch up, and Yan Gang was killed by Ju Yi in the chaos.
Gongsun Chan liked white horses, fought with Wuhuan for a long time, and trained a cavalry, because the horses he rode were white, he was called "White Horse Yicong". At this time, Gongsun Zan had just led the 'White Horse Righteous Cong' across the boundary bridge, and the defeated army rushed to the sky, and the army was scattered by the defeated soldiers. In the confusion, Gongsun Chan was shot by a crossbow arrow and fell to the ground.
At the critical moment, a young man, riding a white horse, with dozens of people, as if entering a no-man's land, raised his gun and fell, Yuan Bing was knocked down, and Yuan's offensive was stopped for a while. Gongsun Zhan's army, which was in the process of collapse, saw that strong soldiers came to help, and their courage suddenly rose and they counterattacked fiercely.
Yuan Shaojun was caught off guard and immediately retreated. Gongsun Chan was overjoyed, and immediately waved his army to counterattack, Ju Yi, Han Meng couldn't stop the defeated army, so he had to retreat.
Yuan Shao originally led tens of thousands of infantry troops behind, but when he heard that Gongsun Zhan was defeated, he was overjoyed. Only 500 halberds rushed to the front army. Suddenly, seeing Juyi, Han Meng's army was defeated, and Gongsun Zhan's army chased after him. Taken aback, the situation was critical, don't drive from Shitian Feng to ask Yuan Shao to hide in the empty wall and avoid the sharp qi for the time being.
Yuan Shao was furious, got up, put the scarf on his head on the ground, and said loudly: "The eldest husband fought to the death in front of the battle, how can he escape and hide in this wall?" "The Euphorbia were deeply inspired, and they fired their crossbows in unison and resisted to the death.
Gongsun Zhan's troops could not attack, and the offensive was blocked. Yuan Jun saw that the commander was here, and gradually gathered together again, and the battle between the two sides was fierce. Yuan Shaohoujun heard that the commander was besieged and hurried over. Gongsun Zhan's army could not retreat and fell into a heavy siege again.
Just when Gongsun Chan was fighting with the young man in white. A burst of drums sounded on the side of the Yuan army, and a group of men and horses galloped over, led by three fierce generals, like a sharp sword, rushed straight into the Yuan army, killing and slashing in the west, no one could stop it, and instantly tore a bloody road. Yuan Jun was suddenly in chaos again, rushing in all directions. Yuan Shaozhi was now unable to fight anymore and ordered the army to retreat.
Gongsun Zhan raised his eyes and saw that it was Liu Bei's three brothers who had arrived. It turned out that after Liu Bei discarded the Pingyuan County Order, he followed Gongsun Zan to serve as Sima of other departments. Later, the Yellow Turban thieves attacked the Bohai Sea, Gongsun Chan led the army to conquer, Liu Bei fought with the army, and was named the Qingzhou Plain Minister by Gongsun Chan for his merits. was about to go to his post when he heard that Gongsun Chan had a frustration in a battle with Yuan Shao at the boundary bridge, and rushed to the rescue.
After the war, Gongsun Chan asked for the name of the young man on the white horse. The white horse boy leaned over and said: "My surname is Zhao, my name is Yun, my name is Zilong, and I am from Jizhou." Gongsun Zhan smiled and said to Zhao Yun: "I heard that the people in Jizhou want to attach themselves to Yuan Shao, how can you be the only one who can get lost?" β
Zhao Yun bowed his hand and replied: "Fang is in a big mess today, I don't know who is the lord of Ming, the people are in danger of hanging upside down, and after discussion and discussion, it is not because we are personally alienated from Yuan Shao and favor you, the general." β
Gongsun Zan originally thought that this Zhao went to join him because he was a master, but when he saw Zhao Yun answer like this, he suddenly felt bored. However, this Zhao Yun's life-saving grace could not be repaid, so Zhao Yun was promoted to the capital.
Liu Bei was beside him, and when he saw that Zhao Yun was neither humble nor arrogant, his martial arts were strong, and he liked it in his heart, he often interacted. For several months, Gongsun Zhan and Yuan Shaojun Chen Bingjie Bridge, won and lost each other. At this time, Gongsun Zhan's grain and grass supply was difficult, and it happened that the Yellow Turban Army attacked Yecheng in Jizhou in the Ministry of Drugs, and Yuan Shao sent people to make peace and agreed to the Qingzhou Assassin appointed by Gongsun Zhan. Seeing that part of the purpose had been achieved, Gongsun Chan agreed to withdraw from the army. Liu Bei went to the Qingzhou Plain as a prime minister.
After Yuan Shu dispersed from the allies, he returned to Nanyang and fed on Runan and Nanyang. This Yuan Shuben Yuan's sister-in-law, Yuan's fourth and fifth dukes, protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials are all over the world. The talented warriors of Jing and Henan defected one after another, which was used by Yuan Shu. Liu Biao had no choice but to recommend Yuan Shu as Nanyang Taishou.
After Yuan Shu arrived in Nanyang, he blindly recruited troops to expand the army. Runan and Nanyang are also large counties with large populations, but they have hundreds of thousands of troops a year.
Yuan Shu is good at martial arts, not good at governing counties, and likes luxury. Due to Yuan Shu's wanton expansion of troops in Yuzhou and Nanyang, the number of agricultural personnel was sharply reduced, and grain production was reduced. Yuan Shu not only did not guide farming, but instead expropriated and extorted. The people were miserable, the merchants were resentful, and the people of Yuzhou and Nanyang fled to other counties. Yuzhou and Nanyang had poor agricultural harvests and insufficient military rations. Yuan Shu did not repent, but sent someone to ask Liu Biao for food.
I heard that Yuan Shao obtained Jizhou, relying on the fact that he was his son-in-law, he sent someone to send a letter, asking Yuan Shao to provide 8,000 light horses and 30,000 stones of grain and grass.
Yuan Shao naturally did not allow it, and when he heard the complaints of his neighbors in Yuzhou, he instead sent Zhou Xin to serve as the history of Yuzhou. Yuan Shu thought that he was the son of the Yuan family, the future patriarch of the Yuan family, and was very angry at Yuan Shao's refusal of his request, and even more resentful of sending Zhou Xin to Yuzhou. In order to entrap Sun Jian, Yuan Shu sent someone to kill Zhou Xin and recommended Sun Jian as the assassin of Yuzhou. Send someone to contact Gongsun Zan and conspire to take Jizhou. Yuan Shao was furious and immediately sent someone to contact Liu Biao to discuss the rejection of Yuan Shu. So Yuan Shu and Sun Jian asked Liu Biao to conquer him.
