Chapter 232: Zhang Ning enters Jizhou
Zhang Ning tried to persuade Guan Haitong to go to Jizhou, but Guan Hai had his own considerations. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"The Holy Lord doesn't know, now most of our 100,000 troops are Qingzhou people, and they don't want to stay away from their homeland, if our army all enters Jizhou, the official army will definitely make a comeback, and then the relatives, friends, and families of all the disciples will be harmed by the government, and now the Qingzhou official army is weak, we can protect it here."
"Then I don't know what Guan Shuai thinks?"
"The army is divided into several parts, divided into Dong'anping, Banyang, Linqu, Anqiu, Dongwu, Shouguang, after taking the city, send troops to garrison, and then recruit disciples and soldiers in the local area to enrich the defense, and the main force of the Yellow Turban left 50,000 troops to deal with the unexpected!"
"Defending the west, how should Kong Rong of the North Sea Country deal with it? If we are attacked on our backs, it is a danger of life and death! ”
Zhang Ning and Guan Hai were arguing endlessly, and there was no result for a long time.
Zhang Ning said: "Since Guan Shuai has no intention of going north, then please stay in Qingzhou to control the situation, I will go north to Jizhou with Su Gu and Bian Xi, and then we can echo the north and south, maybe Jizhou and Qingzhou can be connected." ”
"Liu Bei of the Plains Country and Jiang Sheng of Le'an County are both deeply popular with the people, and I am afraid it will be difficult to get them. Whether the Holy Lord can go north is still unknown. ”
"Jiang Sheng fought with Dong Zhuo last year, and his vitality was greatly damaged, and now he is at odds with Yuan Shao, he can only protect himself, and he can't take care of us. I intend to march along the coast, avoid Jiang Sheng's defenders, enter Bohai County first, and then move west into the hinterland of Jizhou. ”
"Since this is the case, then follow the Holy Lord's order and select soldiers who have no family in Qingzhou to go north with the Holy Lord. The rest of the soldiers stayed in Qingzhou to raid the county. ”
The Yellow Turban plan was decided, and three days later it was divided into two parts, one led by Zhang Ning, Zhenggu, and Bian Xi to Jizhou, with 22,000 infantry troops, more than 8,000 cavalry troops, and about 3,000 crossbowmen; The Yellow Turban Army left behind in Qingzhou was led by Guan Hai, with 57,000 infantry troops, 15,000 cavalry troops, and 10,000 crossbowmen.
For Zhang Ning, it was commendable to have so many soldiers to follow, so he rearranged the sequence, appointed lieutenant Sima and other officers, and then pulled out the camp through Shouguang and Tatecheng in the eastern coastal area of Le'an County to enter Bohai County, Jizhou.
It is said that Yuan Shao, who was too guarded by Bohai, originally entered Yecheng and forced Han Fu to hand over Jizhou, but Gongsun Zan had a bad relationship with Yuan Shao because of Gongsun Yue's death, and the two armies were fighting hotly, and Yuan Shao was unable to try Jizhou again.
After Gongsun Fan and other troops went north, they launched a fierce battle with Yan Liang's troops, Yan Liang was first defeated by Jiang Sheng's Xu Huang and Zhang He, and then was killed by Gongsun Fan and other troops for a while, so he could only retreat to Nanpi. Gongsun Fan, Yan Gang, and Tian Kai respectively captured the vast area in the eastern part of Wei County and the southern part of Bohai County.
Yuan Shao ordered Gao Gan to invade the Hejian country and control several counties, Gongsun Zan waved his army to conquer, and several cities in the two counties of Bohai and Hejian changed hands several times, and the people were miserable and had to move south.
Gongsun Zhan's poor army did not do much good, and he was successively defeated by Wen Chou and Chun Yuqiong, and suffered heavy losses, so he sent Guan Jing to recruit troops from Beiping.
After Liu Yu found out the news, he sent several waves of envoys to negotiate with Gongsun Zhan and ordered Gongsun Zhan to stop the attack with Yuan Shao, but Gongsun Chan turned a deaf ear, and Liu Yu's hatred for him increased day by day.
Jizhou Mu Han Fu was already cowardly, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan both coveted Jizhou, coupled with the resurgence of the Montenegrin army, Han Fu in order to protect himself, so that the army held the fortified city, and the vast mountainous and rural areas were controlled by the Montenegrin army, after Zhang Ning led the army into Jizhou, he sent people to get in touch with Guo Daxian, the leader of the Montenegrin military alliance.
Guo Daxian is the chief scoop officer elected by the Montenegrin rebel army, equivalent to the speaker of the parliament, responsible for convening the Montenegrin army to discuss the matter, mediating conflicts and disputes between various ministries, and then representing the Montenegrin army to negotiate with the official army, the yellow turban and various cottages.
Guo Daxian had already heard that the Yellow Turban Army had been defeated repeatedly in Qingzhou, and not all the soldiers and horses came, only more than 30,000 people, and the strength was not as good as the larger Black Mountain Army in Jizhou, and the original intention of cooperation no longer existed.
Seeing that Bian Xi came here with Zhang Ning's token, Guo Daxian was polite and warmly entertained Bian Xi, but when Bian Xi proposed the previously agreed cooperation content, Guo Daxian kept silent and just persuaded Bian Xi to drink.
Bian Xi saw that Guo Daxian did not want to continue to cooperate with the Yellow Turban Army, so he excused himself and returned to the camp, Zhang Ning said angrily after hearing this: "When I think my Yellow Turban is powerful, Guo Daxian has asked for cooperation three times and five times, and now we have not collapsed into an army, so we will snub us and others, and order all departments to rest for three days, and then go to attack Guo Daxian!" ”
He said: "Holy Lord think twice, there are more than ten large and small Jizhou Black Mountain Army, if you take Guo Daxian to fight, I'm afraid it will be unfavorable to me!" ”
"It's to take Guo Daxian's prestige! As long as Guo Daxian is removed, not only will they not seek revenge, but they will also serve us as the chief scoop. But there is one thing, we must succeed once, if we don't succeed, we have no way out. ”
Zheng Gu said: "Guo Daxian will not cooperate with us, but at least he will not be our enemy, we can exist with them in Jizhou and develop ourselves, wouldn't it be better?" ”
"For so many years, we have all survived in the cracks, haven't you ever thought about the day when you raise your eyebrows? How brilliant was it when the light and the end of our things arose? Now, he was first surrounded and suppressed by the official army, lost everything, and was defeated by Jiang Sheng, so he had to withdraw from Jizhou; After fleeing to Qingzhou, Guan Hai eyed us and tried to stand on his own, and we came to Jizhou because of the situation, but the situation in Jizhou was very good for us. ”
"My subordinates don't know what the Holy Lord said, please give me some advice."
"Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan have been inseparable, Han Fu is incompetent, he only seeks to protect himself, and now Jizhou is the time to show his ability, if we don't grasp this opportunity, there will be no chance to rise in the future."
Bian Xi asked, "I don't know where the Holy Lord intends to stand?" ”
"It is active at the junction of Anping and Qinghe counties, waiting for opportunities to attack the county seat, and taking the city as a basis for long-term development."
"I'm afraid that the government won't let us develop."
"Anping and Qinghe are far away from the areas where Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan fought, and they also avoid the areas where the Montenegrin army activities such as Changshan and Zhongshan are avoided, and the only thing facing here is Jizhou Mu Han Fu, and Han Fu is cowardly and incompetent, if he dares to come here, he will be taught that there is no return."
Xiuxian is located at the junction of Jizhou Hejian, Bohai, Qinghe, Anping and Qingzhou Plain, which seems to be the land of four wars, but in fact it is anarchy.
Originally, Xiuxian was the territory controlled by Yuan Shao, but due to the conquest with Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Shao couldn't take care of it anymore, and Zhang Ning's choice still had a certain strategic vision.
Bian Xi said: "Although Han Fu is cowardly, Gao Ran is also a person, and he must not be underestimated!" ”
"Well, you can't have a heart to underestimate the enemy."
