Chapter 316: Take the three counties lightly
Although Wang Kuang's killing of Hu Muban and Wang Gui was ordered by Yuan Shao, most of them were despised by the people, although Hu Muban they were sent by Dong Zhuo, but their reputation has always been very good, and they came to Hanoi as a helpless move, especially Hu Muban was also Wang Kuang's brother-in-law, Wang Kuang insisted on going his own way and killed them, causing the Hanoi military and civilians to secretly slander, so after Zhang Liao issued a notice, about thirty percent of the defenders fought back and killed Wang Kuang's army to a great defeat, and Yu Ban waved the army to surround Wang Kuang's mansion, and Wang Kuang begged to surrender.

When Hu Muban's family heard the news of Wang Kuang's surrender, they ran to the forbidden army to cry and strongly demand that Wang Kuang be executed, and those soldiers who surrendered also supported Hu Muban's family's request.
Yu Ban saw that Wang Kuangmin was very angry, so he ordered to be killed, Wang Kuang's personal guards resisted in less than a quarter of an hour under the siege of the superior forces of the forbidden army, and the whole army was annihilated.
Wang Kuang was cornered and drew his sword to kill himself, but was caught by the soldiers who attacked the palace and dragged out. When Hu Muban's family saw Wang Kuang, they scolded Wang Kuang for being ruthless and unjust, and Yu Ban tied Wang Kuang, knelt on the square in the city, and publicly executed him.
After the two armies of Zhang Liao and Yu Ban were replenished by Chaoge, they marched lightly and rushed to Yingchuan to kill, while the messenger sent by Wang Kuang to ask for help had just arrived at Li Dao's camp.
Li Wei was furious, and immediately sent Wang Fang to raise half of the soldiers and horses to the north to support.
After Cheng Yu on Cao Cao's side received the battle reports of Li Dian and Cao Ren's army, he felt that Yingchuan had been lost and there was no need to fight with Li Dao's army again, so he persuaded Cao Cao to recall his soldiers and horses, defend Chen Liu, and prevent Li Dao's army from advancing eastward.
When Zhang Liao heard that Cao Ren and Li Dian were fighting against Li Dao's army, he sent a messenger to Cao Ren and invited Cao Ren to attack Li Dao's army.
Cao Ren analyzed that Wang Fang led half of his troops and horses to meet Zhang Liao, and Li Dao's army must be empty, so he discussed with Li Dian about sending troops, and Li Dian also agreed, so Cao's army combined about 30,000 people and attacked Li Dao's army camp at night.
Li Wei won day after day, and said that Cao Ren and Li Dianjun were afraid of being beaten, and they didn't dare to act rashly, so they had the heart to underestimate the enemy, but they didn't expect Cao Ren to sneak attack at night.
Li Dao organized soldiers and horses to defend the camp and fought with Cao Ren's army all night, only to find that there were only more than 100 people who came to attack after dawn, and he was disdainful in his heart, and he didn't take it seriously.
It is said that Wang Fang led his army north to Juan County on the south bank of the Yellow River, and seeing that it was getting late, Wang Fang immediately ordered the whole army to camp and rest, and only managed to cross the river after dawn.
The autumn rain continued, and it didn't stop from nightfall, Wang Fang was already passive and slacking off, which caught up with the rainy day, and there was just a reason to rest, so he stayed in Juan County.
The spies sent to learn from the people that Chaoge had been captured, and hurriedly reported to the king, but the king did not care, and did not want to enter the army at all, so he used the heavy rain as an excuse to stagnate.
Zhang Liao and Yu Ban didn't care about these, Xun Yu gave them the task of reaching Yingchuan as quickly as possible, and then quickly decided, and then returned to Jizhou after defeating Li Dao, although it was rainy, but Zhang Liao and Yu Ban's two armies still marched every day.
It was also the opportunity to take precautions in the counties in the heavy rainy weather, Zhang Liao and Yu Ban two armies connected Keji County and Huojia County, and then the troops approached Xiuwu City.
Xiuwu defenders also thought that the information was wrong, and scolded the scouts for making a fuss, but they didn't expect Zhang Liaojun to attack the city in the rain in the early morning, most of the defenders were asleep, and they were unaware of the movement outside the city, and when they were awakened by the shouting of killing, they found that the city wall was full of Jizhou troops, and there was no point in fighting again, so they abandoned their weapons and surrendered.
Zhang Liao entered the city to receive troops and supplies, and Yu Ban led the army without stopping until he reached the north bank of the Yellow River, where he set up camp, mobilized ferries, and prepared to cross the river. But the king of Juan County didn't know it.
Wang Fang didn't want to cross the river at all, so the big and small boats that came and went to the Yellow River were still in the hands of the people, and during the period when Wang Fang's army was stationed in Juan County, he didn't go to force it, and most of the carp in the Yellow River entered the belly of Wang Fang's army.
Stationed for more than ten days, the supplies could not keep up, Wang Fang sent people to the people's homes to forcibly apportion, forcing the people to hand over food, the division of the school and the captain of the army fought for many years, agricultural production almost stopped, the people were already miserable, Wang Fangjun came, it was even worse.
When the people heard that a team had come from the north bank, specifically to deal with the king's team, they had the courage to go and meet the generals in the army.
Yu Banzheng was worried about not being able to make up the ferry, he didn't sleep all night, and before he got up in the morning, he heard the visit of the fisherman on the river, and hurriedly said: "Please!" ”
When the fisherman saw Yu Ban, he quickly knelt on the ground: "The grass people knock to see the general!" ”
Yu Bandao: "My husband doesn't need to be polite, please sit!" ”
The old man saw that although Yu Ban was vicious, he spoke very politely, so he put his mind at ease and asked, "May I ask the general, are you here to deal with the evil soldiers in Juan County?" ”
"I came to attack Li Dao on the order of the lord, I don't know where the evil soldiers in Juan County came from?"
"I don't know who Li Wei is, but the leader of the evil soldiers in Juan County is called Wang Fang, and I heard that he is from Xiliang."
"That's right, the one from Xiliang must be Li Wei's soldiers and horses, I don't know if my husband is visiting, what do you have to say?"
"The grass people don't dare! It's just that those evil soldiers oppressed the people too much, and the people couldn't stand it, and they were hoping that someone would come and drive them away, and when they heard that you were coming, they came to ask for your help! ”
"How many soldiers are there? Cavalry or infantry? ”
"There are people inside and outside the city, at least there are seventy or eighty thousand people, there are not too many horsemen, most of them are infantry."
"I wonder how long they've been in Juan County? What are you doing here? ”
"It's been more than half a month, and I haven't left. The grass people don't know what they're doing here, but I beg you to drive them away. ”
The old man burst into tears and knelt on the ground again, Yu Ban hurriedly helped him up and asked, "Don't worry, old man, we are here to defeat them, but there are too few ferries, and I am worried that there are too few people who pass by at one time, and they will kill them." ”
The old man said: "This general doesn't bother, the grass people can mobilize the surrounding fishermen and send the boat over for you to use." ”
"That's great! I wonder how many fishing boats my husband can mobilize to come? ”
"There are more than 100 or not, and there is no problem."
"More than 100? Enough is enough! As long as a thousand people go ashore, it will be enough to protect the army from crossing the river. Uncle, this matter must not be made quiet, if the king finds out, we will not be able to cross the river. ”
"Don't worry, I'll go back and rock the boat at night."
"It's dangerous to sail at night."
The old man said: "We live here, and we can sail safely with our eyes closed, so don't worry, general." ”
"Then please leave it to the old man!"
