Plain Longcuo, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan's second large-scale battle ended, the fierce battle was nearly a month, Gongsun Army was defeated, and Yuan's army won again.

Since the Battle of the Boundary Bridge last year, the two sides have withdrawn their troops and entered a truce. The rear of Gongsun Chan was unstable, and there was chaos in the county between the Bohai Sea and the river, so he had no choice but to withdraw the bomb pressure in the north and stabilize the rear. Yuan Shao continued to accumulate strength internally, integrated the prefectures and counties, took the opportunity to advance north, and brought Anping Kingdom under his control.

In the spring, when Liu Yuan was plotting against Montenegro, in the face of Yuan Shao's increasingly consolidated forces, Gongsun Chan couldn't sit still and moved his troops south again. This time, he did not take Anping, but sent troops south from the Bohai Sea, crossed the Qingzhou Plain, and marched west along the big river.

Even if Gongsun Chan doesn't move, Yuan Shao also has the intention of mobilizing troops, and Gongsun Chan's move is right in Yuan Shao's arms. Decisively commanded more than 30,000 troops to the east and intercepted Gongsun Zan in Pingyuan County. The two sides fought for nearly a month around the Longcuo ferry.

The strength of the Gongsun army lies in crushing the cavalry of the Yuan army, which is also where his confidence lies. In view of the lessons of the Battle of the Boundary Bridge, he no longer dared to rush into battle rashly with cavalry, and did not easily use the white horse to serve the righteous followers. In the battle of Longcuo, Gongsun Chan seemed to be a lot more "foolish", and he had a strong army, but he spared casualties and did not dare to enter the battle.

Only relying on the infantry army under his command, wrestling with Yuan Shao, and the generals under Gongsun Zhan, there are two or three big cats and kittens, where is the person on Yuan Jun's side.

Slowly, Gongsun Jun felt the great pressure, and not long ago, Gongsun Zhan sent his son Gongsun Xu to lead Bai Ma Yi from the plain to the west, in a vain attempt to disturb the back road of Yuan's army and intercept its grain and grass. It's just too late, early, Yuan Shao sent the army to lead the army for more than 200 miles, around the rear of the Gongsun army.

After Gongsun Xu's army broke away, Yuan Shao found the opportunity to intensify his onslaught on Gongsun Zhan, and cooperated with Ju Yi, who had raided from behind, to defeat Gongsun Chan in one fell swoop. The battle of Longcuo ended with a fiasco of Gongsun Zhan.

If you talk about the battle of Jieqiao, Gongsun Chan will not win, and he can retreat "calmly". In Longcuo, Gongsun Chan made a series of faint moves, and the ending was a rout. In this battle, Gongsun Chan was broken.

At Longcuo Ferry, the smoke of gunpowder is not over, and traces of war abound. Yuan Shao, accompanied by Xu You, Tian Feng, and Guo Tu, stepped on the ferry, looking at the east-flowing river, and the vast soup. sighed with emotion: "Gongsun Chan was defeated, and it was in vain that the soldiers fought hard for so long!" ”

"Congratulations, my lord!" Several strategists congratulated together.

"Ordered Lu Yi, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Zhang He, to lead the army north to pursue the defeated army of Gongsun Zhan, this time, I want to completely drive Gongsun Zhan back to Youzhou and completely control the counties of Jizhou!" Putting away the sigh, Yuan Shao ordered directly.

"No!"

He did not change direction at all, and fled all the way from the plains to the north, resting in Xiu County in the southwest corner of Bohai County. At this time, Gongsun Zhan was already a little disgraced, and he was temporarily stationed outside the city before he could enter the city.

When he went south, there were more than 30,000 troops, and at this time there were only 10,000 people who followed him. Linjiangshui, sitting on the ground, Gongsun Zhan sighed and asked, "Yuan Jun, are you still pursuing?" ”

"My lord! The army was defeated and retreated, and Yuan Shao's subordinate Liyi and other generals pursued them relentlessly, and the army behind the palace was broken by it several times, and it has been biting us. It's still not safe here, and we need to continue to retreat north! Guan Jing replied, hesitated for a while, and said to Gongsun Zhan: "Lord, Longcuo has been defeated, and our army is afraid that it will be difficult to hold northern Hebei, so we have to make plans early!" ”

Gongsun Zhan's face sank when he heard this, and he gritted his teeth and ordered: "Feiqi summoned Gongsun Xu and asked him to retreat and retreat directly to the north." Let's go to Nanpi and go back to Youzhou after rectification! ”

"Lord, did you give up Jizhou like this?" Tian Kai said excitedly.

Gongsun Zhan was unwilling, but he also knew that Yuan Shao was powerful, and Jizhou could no longer be defended. frowned for a moment, and then said: "Tian Kai, now that Jiao He is sick and dead, Qingzhou has no owner and chaos, I will show you as the assassin of Qingzhou, and you will go to Qingzhou with three thousand troops to develop, and marry Xuzhou Tao Qian." Ben will return to Youzhou to reorganize the army, and he will attack you and me from the north and south on the other day, and then attack Yuan Shao! ”

"No!" When Tian Kai heard this, he couldn't help but look happy, and immediately responded, Gongsun Zhan is letting him lead the party.

"General Bo Jue, General Tian has few soldiers, and he is familiar with Qingzhou, and he is willing to lead his subordinates to help run Qingzhou!" At this time, Liu Bei, who had been silent, suddenly asked for his life.

When Gongsun Zhan heard this, he looked at Liu Bei, and the look of suspicion flashed in his eyes. This person defected before, and he took care of the "friendship of classmates" to accept him, and said that he was a captain, but he has never been loyal to himself. Among them, the second general Guan Zhang under his command, and the warrior general Cai, looked greedy and had the heart to join his command, but he had been talking about him slipperily for Liu Bei and avoided it.

Now that Liu Bei suddenly proposed this proposal, Gongsun Zhan was suspicious. Before he could think of how to refuse, he saw a scout rushing over: "Lord, the Yuan army is chasing the soldiers, and it has reached twenty miles away!" ”

"How did it come so quickly!" At this time, Gongsun Zhan didn't want to think too much, and said directly to Liu Bei: "Xuande, then it is up to you and Tian Kai to enter Qingzhou!" ”

After saying that, he summoned the army and continued to retreat north. And Liu Bei took his subordinates and turned eastward with Tian Kai.

"Lord, is this going to break away from General Gongsun?" On the march, Jian Yong asked Liu Bei.

"Xianhe knows me! Last year, he voted for Sun Boqi, and he thought that the soldiers were strong and criss-crossed, but who expected it to have a false appearance. This time the army was defeated, it was no longer Yuan Shao's opponent, and Jizhou would be all owned by Yuan Shao. And Gongsun Boqi, who had a bad relationship with Liu Yuanjun in the rear, and was stubborn and self-serving, followed him again, there was no good result. Now Qingzhou is in chaos, hundreds of thousands of yellow scarves are in Yanzhou, which is the place where heroes come in, I want to find a foundation in order to develop! ”

"The lord is wise!"

……

Yuan Jun chased the death all the way to the north, and forced Gongsun Zan to rush to Youzhou, Yuan Shao went north to temporarily stay in Xindu, and the good news continued to come from the front line, which made him happy.

"Lord, it won't be long before the entire Jizhou will be under the rule of the lord, and the great cause can be expected!" Xu Yu sighed beside him.

"Haha!" Yuan Shao smiled heartily: "With the assistance of all the gentlemen, we have today's momentum!" ”

"Lord, Yecheng is here to report!" At this time, Xun Chen entered with a serious expression and said to Yuan Shao.

After receiving the list of handwritten letters, Yuan Shao's heart faded with joy, this was a letter for help from Gao Gan. Looking at everyone, Yuan Shao asked: "Gao Gan, please help, how should I deal with Xia Jun?" ”

Shaking his head, Xu You sighed: "The whip is beyond the reach of the whip, and we almost gave up on the party when we led the main force to seize Jizhou in the east." The Xia soldiers were strong and strong, attacking from the north, and there was almost no danger to defend. Lord, on the party side, let General Yuancai preserve his strength and withdraw, now stabilizing Jizhou is the first priority! ”

"As soon as the party is lost, our army withdraws from the state, loses it and the Xia army, and then wants to go west, the mountains are blocked, I'm afraid it will be difficult!" Yuan Shao obviously didn't want to give up on the party just like that, and he had the intention of using it as a base to attack the west.

Xun Chen also echoed Xu Yu and said: "Lord, I have been fighting with Gongsun Zan for a long time, Jizhou has been seriously damaged, and it needs to be restored urgently. At this time, Xia Jun is in Taiyuan, and he can go south to join the party at any time, and it is really difficult for us to take care of it. And if you rashly start a war with the Xia army, it is not a wise move! ”

Seeing that the strategists under his command all suggested abandoning the party, Yuan Shao's face was ugly, and he finally gave an order: "Summons the senior cadre, let him withdraw!" ”

"Lord!" Tian Feng suddenly got up and said: "Before our army withdraws, please ask General Gao Gan to break the city and burn the fields and clear the fields, and try to move the people in the county to the east to Jizhou for resettlement, so that the Xia army can get a ruin to the party!" ”

Tian Feng offered a ruthless plan.

Yuan Shao almost didn't think much about it: "Just from Yuan Hao's words!" ”
