After a month's long journey, the Jizhou army finally arrived in Liaodong, and Yuan Xi finally understood at this time that neither Cao Cao nor Yuan Shao had sent troops to subdue Liaodong in history, and the roads were too muddy, and sometimes it rained, and it was impossible to walk at all. If it weren't for Gongsun Kang's request for help this time, it would have taken a lot of time to pacify Liaodong, as well as manpower and material resources. At that time, let alone increase your strength, you may have to retreat.

Yuan Xi has a very bad feeling about Gongsun Kang, and Yuan Xi in history died in the hands of this person, so he must be prevented. Yuan Xi ordered Gao Shun to garrison the army near Liaodong City, and he, Zhao Yun and Pang De led 20,000 cavalry into the city. When Gongsun Kang learned of the arrival of the great general Yuan Xi, he did not dare to slack off, and immediately went out of the city to greet him, knelt on the ground respectfully, and saluted: "Liaodong Taishou Gongsun Kang knocked to see the general, the general is wise and martial, and he can see it today, and he is fortunate to have three lives." The general personally crusaded against Sanhan, which was a blessing for the people of Liaodong. ”

Gongsun Kang's ability to lead the troops is not good, and the whiskers and horses are indeed first-class, Yuan Xi ordered him to lead the way in front and come to the Taishou Mansion. Gongsun Kang had already prepared, warmly entertained Yuan Xi, and also ordered the singers in the house to perform songs and dances, a group of drunken gold fans, without any sense of oppression that a big war was imminent. Zhao Yun, Pang De, and Xu Shu disdainfully this, the big war is imminent, and they only know pleasure, no wonder they are not the opponents of the three Koreas; And Yuan Xi and Pang Tong didn't have much resistance, and enjoyed the song and dance with a smile. Gongsun Kang also thought that he had performed very well today and won Yuan Xi's favor, and was preparing to make the next step of his plan to send Liaodong beauties to serve Yuan Xi and his party.

Yuan Xi didn't have any intention of appreciating singing and dancing, just pretending, paralyzing Gongsun Kang, and didn't want to fight among himself when pacifying Sanhan. Yuan Xi drank a little wine, seemed to be a little drunk, and praised Gongsun Kang and said: "Gongsun Taishou is very thoughtful, but now that the enemy is present, we still focus on major events, and wait to pacify the three Hans, and then talk about meritorious deeds." Gongsun Kang heard Yuan Xi's words, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to arrange for Yuan Xi and others to live and rest. On the second day, Yuan Xi left Pang Tong to raise food and grass for the army at Gongsun Kang, and led his army to the mountain city of Marudu to help.

Although Zhang Liao won a battle against the Sanhan coalition army, the cavalry was not conducive to attacking the city, and there was not much to do about the Sanhan army cowering in the city, so he could only closely monitor and wait for Yuan Xi. When Yuan Xi's army came, the defenders in the city began to worry, originally thinking that Zhang Liao's cavalry was the main force of the Han army, but he didn't expect nearly 100,000 horses to come. The general of Baekje's army proposed to the king of Goguryeo: "My lord, the Han army is going to wipe us out, and the mountain fortress of Marudu cannot be defended, so the only way to defeat the Han army is to retreat to Pyongyang City and join forces with the troops of the three Koreas." The king of Goguryeo nodded, decisively abandoned the mountain fortress of Marudu, and quickly retreated towards Pyongyang.

After Yuan Xi learned about the situation, he wanted to come to the Three Han Coalition Army because he wanted to take advantage of his lack of food and grass, and wanted to hold on to the city and let Zhang Liao withdraw his troops. However, as soon as his army arrives, he will not sit idly by, but will retreat to Pyongyang, the capital of Goguryeo. Sure enough, after the main force of the Sanhan coalition army withdrew, Yuan's army easily captured the mountain fortress of Marudu, and when the Sanhan coalition army retreated, it had already taken away most of the grain and grass, and it was burned if it could not be taken away, and there was a shortage of food in the city.

This move is really vicious enough, Yuan Xi had to save it, so he could only distribute the originally small amount of military food to the people of Marudu Mountain City, appease the people, and wait for himself to capture Pyongyang, and then transport grain for relief. The people of Marudu Mountain City decided to be the guides of the Han army because of the evil deeds of the three Korean coalition forces, and relying on the people of Marudu to guide the way, Yuan Xi's army of more than 100,000 people also took a lot of unjust roads and arrived in Pyongyang City.

The three-Korean coalition forces in Pyongyang City had long been in full position, and not far from Pyongyang City, a large battalion was established on each side, and the city of Pyongyang was a horn. Yuan Xi observed that the Baekje military camp was on the left, the Silla military camp was on the right, and Goguryeo was in the center. Yuan Xi asked: "The three can support each other, and it seems that the generals of the three Koreas are not all incompetent." ”

"General, the alliance between the three Koreas is not long, and it is not united. Our army can first let General Goshun's camp attack the Baekje military camp and guard against the support of Goguryeo and Silla. Seeing that our army has not invested many troops, and thinking that our army is cheating, the two sides will definitely observe it first. When our army is weak, Goguryeo will fish in troubled waters and go out of the city to attack our army, and our army will take the opportunity to collect troops. On the second day, they attacked Silla again, and still acted like this, Baekje hated that Silla did not support yesterday and would not support today, and Goguryeo would not take risks for Silla. Silla is the weakest, and this time it is better for us to capture the Silla military camp, so that the three Koreas will definitely complain to each other, and the alliance will not be broken. In response to the instability of the Three Koreas Alliance, Xu Shu offered Yuan Xi a divisive plan.

Yuan Xi was overjoyed, followed Xu Shu's advice, and attacked the Baekje military camp first. The Baekje army was also prepared, but what they didn't expect was that the Han army's catapults were too powerful to stop at all, and the Baekje army was scared to trample on themselves. Catapults only serve as a deterrent, and the real destruction of the enemy army still depends on the soldiers to charge into battle.

Gao Shun led the trapped camp to attack the Baekje military camp, Zhang Liao was responsible for harvesting the defeated army, and Zhao Yun and Pang De led the army to cover and prevent the Silla army and the Goguryeo army from taking the opportunity to raid. Although the Baekje army was frightened by the catapults, the 50,000 Silla army did not suffer much loss, and it did not intend to retreat in the face of the trap camp, which was not as numerous as itself.

The Baekje army first stabilized its position with bows and arrows, and after a strafing shot, they found that their bows and arrows did little damage to the Han army, and began to dispatch their pikemen. Samhan's pikemen, armed with a light shield in one hand and a spear in the other, began to charge towards the soldiers who had fallen into the camp. Gao Shun saw that the Baekje army basically held light shields, so he did not attack with bows and crossbows, but directly asked the shield soldiers to cooperate with machetes to fight hand-to-hand with the Baekje army.

The trapped camp led by Goshun was well-equipped, much stronger than the Baekje army, the spears of the Baekje army were constantly cut off by the machetes of the trapped camp soldiers, although the Baekje army was numerous, but it was constantly defeated and retreated, and the two armies fought chaotically for a long time, but the king of Goguryeo in Pyongyang City had been watching, firstly, he wanted Baekje to consume the Han army's strength for himself, and secondly, the Han army only discharged a small number of troops, and the Baekje army was enough to deal with it. Seeing that Goguryeo did not send troops to help, the Silla army just happened to wait and see.

Yuan Xi saw that neither Goguryeo nor Silla would send troops, as Xu Shu expected, and then ordered Zhang Liao to order to participate in the battle, and the Baekje army, which was already a little unsupportable, began to rout, and just when the Baekje military camp was about to be occupied by the Han army, the Goguryeo army in Pyongyang City went out of the city to support and help the Baekje army recapture the military camp. Yuan Xi saw that Goguryeo sent troops, and he did not love war, so he withdrew as he went. The Baekje generals lost thousands of men and horses, and although they were unhappy that Goguryeo's reinforcements were too slow, they still thanked Goguryeo for sending troops to help; As for Silla, not a single soldier was sent in the moment of crisis, and it was blacklisted by Baekje.

The three-Korean coalition army also knew that the Han army's weapons and equipment were better than their own, and they did not want to fight hard, as long as they spent a month in Pyongyang, the Han army was short of food, and it was an opportunity for them to counterattack. The king of Goguryeo ordered people to repair the Baekje military camp, and also gave material subsidies, and bribed Baekje to block the Han army's edge for himself, saying that if the Han army attacked next time, he would quickly lead troops to support.

On the second day, the Baekje military camp was not attacked by the Han army, and this time it was the Silla military camp that was attacked. Yesterday Silla was still rejoicing, but today it was unlucky, and the Silla people immediately sent people to Goguryeo for help. Goguryeo still had yesterday's plan, first let Silla consume the strength of the Han army, and he was sending troops to support, give subsidies, and buy people's hearts.

It's a pity that Goguryeo miscalculated, Yuan Xi was also destined to be the vanguard of the camp at the beginning, but unfortunately the Silla people didn't want to work hard for Goguryeo, seeing that the Goguryeo people did not come for a long time, the soldiers who were trapped in the camp were defeated and retreated, and directly lost the barracks, and the 50,000 soldiers were not damaged, but they retreated directly towards Pyongyang City.

Taking advantage of the victory, the Han army pursued the victory, and the Silla army retreated to the gate of Pyongyang and asked Goguryeo to open the gate. The king of Goguryeo thought that the Silla people were cunning and did not contribute to the army, and deliberately saved their strength and lost the barracks, so they did not open the door, and the Silla people scolded the Goguryeo people for being ungrateful and walked around the city.

Yuan Xi did not chase again, but prepared to attack the Baekje military camp again. Yuan Xi ordered a loud voice to call the Baekje commander to talk, and the Goguryeo people were ungrateful, hoping that Baekje would withdraw its troops immediately, and the Han army would not be held accountable for offending Liaodong. The Baekje generals were conflicted, but Yuan Xi would not give Baekje much time to think about it, and began to order an all-out attack.

The Baekje army was also worried about the Goguryeo king's refusal to accept the Silla army, and once they were defeated by the Han army, the Goguryeo people refused to enter the city, and there was no place to bury them. The Baekje army also learned wisely, and after a little resistance, they ordered a retreat, and did not even return to Pyongyang City, but directly retreated to Baekje. Goguryeo originally did not want to lose Baekje as an ally, but Baekje was affected by Silla and withdrew directly, leaving Goguryeo to resist the Han army. Although Pyongyang City is a big city, there is plenty of food and grass in the city, and there are 100,000 troops, but in the face of the nearly 200,000 elite Han army, it is still a little overwhelmed.
