Jin Liang led 100,000 horses and horses, and after more than ten miles out of Guangcheng Pass, he went out of the boundary of Sizhou and came to the boundary of Nanyang County, Jingzhou.

The original Nanyang Taishou Yuan Shu was attacked by his brother Jingzhou Thorn Shi Yuan Shao and Dong Zhuo, unable to stand, fled to Shouchunhuo and Yangzhou Thorn Shi Chen Wen, Nanyang was divided between Yuan Shao and Dong Zhuo, and later Dong Zhuo was killed by Yan Xing and Wang Yun, Jin Liang skillfully took Luoyang, Yuan Shao took advantage of Jin Liang's unstable foothold, waved an army of 100,000 to attack Luoyang, and all counties and towns in Nanyang County surrendered to Yuan Shao.

Now the Jin Liang army is coming, unstoppable, Nanyang County is frequently in Luoyang, Luyang, Pheasant County, Duyang counties of the large and small cities in the grass to maintain local order in the wall grass giants see Yuan Shao defeated and Jin Liang's army arrived, a little resistance to the defeat, one after another surrendered the city.

Jin Liang didn't have much trust in those wall grasses, he temporarily encircled but could not continue to let these people be responsible for local defense, Jin Liang asked Huang Zhong, a native of Nanyang, to lead his men and horses to disperse to various counties in Nanyang County, and organized ordinary people to establish a system of township soldiers, county soldiers, and county soldiers to replace the original local powerful private forces.

Jin Liang's army was like a bamboo, and within a few days, he came to Wancheng, the administrative office of Nanyang County, a fortified city that was difficult to capture quickly.

Liu Xiu, the founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, was a native of Caiyang County, Nanyang County, and took Nanyang County as the land of Longxing, so when he set the capital of Luoyang, he chose Wancheng, the seat of Nanyang County, as the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty, because it is also called the southern capital in the south of Luoyang, which is quite a prosperous and rich place, so the city is built very solid, the city is high and deep, the moat leads the water in, the water is turbulent and deep, although the defense degree of the city is not as good as Luoyang, it is also compared with Xiangyang and other cities.

A few years ago, the Yellow Turban Rebellion together, the Yellow Turban Qu Shuai Sun Zhong, Han Zhong, Zhao Hong's generation gathered in Wancheng, Zhu Jun led Sun Jian to spend a lot of time, before the Yellow Turban thieves were wiped out, but because the two armies suffered a lot of casualties, there was a plague epidemic after the war, and the people of Nanyang County died of the plague many people, Wancheng has not recovered its prosperity, but Nanyang County is the largest county in the Eastern Han Dynasty after all, with a population of one million at its peak, and now there are five or six hundred thousand people, which can be called a large county.

If history is not changed by Jin Liang, after Dong Zhuo's death, after Li Dao and Guo Yan killed each other, Zhang Ji led troops to attack Nanyang County and was shot by Liu Biaojun, but Liu Biao in order to resist the threat of Cao Cao in the north, signed an alliance with Zhang Ji's nephew Zhang Xiu, and gave up Nanyang County to Zhang Xiutun to resist Cao Cao's expansion, Cao Cao twice crusaded against Zhang Xiu was unfavorable, and later Jia Xu persuaded Zhang Xiu to take refuge in Cao Cao, and Cao Cao got Wancheng. Now that history has been changed by Jin Liang, Jia Xu took refuge in Jin Liang, Zhang Xiu and Zhang Ji died in the hands of Jin Liang one after another, and the uncle and nephew never had the opportunity to gather in Wancheng again.

The defender of Wancheng is Jiang Qi, a confidant under Yuan Shao, and he must hold on to this place by the order of General Yuan Shao, because Wancheng is the northern gateway of Xiangyang, and if Wancheng falls into the hands of Jin Liang, the central army will be able to pose a threat to Xiangyang at any time.

Jin Liang was originally not very familiar with Jiang Qi, but after knowing his words, it suddenly dawned on him that he was the famous Jiang Yiqu.

It is implied in the book that there is no Jiang Qi in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and there is no Jiang Yiqu in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Jiang Yiqu's name was first seen in the "Book of the Later Han Dynasty", and later Sima Guang introduced "Zizhi Tongjian", or Jiang Qi is one person, and the biggest possibility is Jiang Qi's character Yiqu.

In history, during the Battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao sent Chun Yuqiong and other generals more than 10,000 people to the north to meet the baggage chariot, and frustrated Yuan Shao and admonished: "You can send the general Jiang Qi to cut off Cao Cao's grain road." Yuan Shao didn't listen. And when Yuan Shao was defeated by Cao Cao in the Battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao retreated to the north bank of Liyang, hid in the camp of Jiang Qi and Jiang Yiqu, and said with his hand: "Alone with the leader!" After Jiang Qi heard the battle of Guandu from Yuan Shao's mouth, he retrieved the remnants of the defeated generals scattered everywhere, so that Yuan Shao's army returned to the momentum before the battle of Guandu, Jiang Qi and Jiang Yiqu can be regarded as a good general.

Because he had a little knowledge of Jiang Yiqu's performance in history, and knew that he was not an ordinary brave and unscrupulous general, Yuan Shao could rest assured that Wancheng would be handed over to him to guard, presumably he must have two brushes, so Jin Liang put away his previous carelessness and was cautious.

Jiang Yiqu is quite a general, and there are more than 10,000 horses under his command, relying on the high and deep moats of Wancheng, against Jin Liang's 100,000 army, without any fear.

Jin Liang urged the army to attack the city, and attacked for ten days in a row, but he could not take Wancheng, but he lost five or six thousand men and horses.

Jin Liang remembered the difficulties of Cao Cao's attack on Wancheng occupied by Zhang Xiu in history, and realized that this conventional siege war was really very consuming troops, Jin Liang saw that his soldiers and horses were really tired, so he ordered a truce, just surrounded Wancheng, while letting the central soldiers who had been exhausted from the battle for a long time rest, while seizing the time to build a siege weapon thunderbolt car, while reorganizing the more than 70,000 prisoners captured before.

Yuan Shao led an army of 100,000 to attack Luoyang, and in the end, only he and his cronies Wenchen and more than 20 generals fled back to Xiangyang in a hurry, which can be regarded as the annihilation of the whole army, and more than 20,000 of the 100,000 people were killed on the spot, and more than 20,000 were seriously injured after the war, and the remaining 70,000 people were all captured by the central army.

Because most of these soldiers were natives of Jingzhou, Jin Liang disliked the combat power of the Jingzhou soldiers in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and was not ready to select people from them to supplement the loss of the Central Army.

Jin Liang instructed Huang Zhong, a native of Nanyang, to be the general of the Jingzhou Guerrilla Corps, and Huang Quan to be the general of the Jingzhou Construction Corps, so that they could start to manage Nanyang County from now on.

When Jin Liang's army besieged Wancheng, Yuan Shao, who fled back to Xiangyang, was afraid that Wancheng would be lost, so he sent Jin Weihuang and Han Jinzi to lead 20,000 horses to support Jiang Yiqu, but Jin Liang had already obtained accurate information from the dark agents planted in Xiangyang, so he besieged the city and sent reinforcements, so that Zhang Jaw, Xu Huang, and Zhao Yun three divisions ambushed Jin Weihuang and Han Jinzi, Han Jinzi was killed by Xu Huang, Jin Weihuang was captured by Zhao Yun, 20,000 horses were killed by more than 3,000 people, and more than 1,000 people fled back to Xiangyang, and the rest all surrendered.

Jin Liang asked Lü Kuang and Lü Xiang to go out and persuade Jin Weihuang to join him, and Jin Weihuang finally agreed to join Jin Liang.

Jin Liang stepped up the siege of the city, so that Jiang Yiqu was tired of coping, and on the other hand, Zhao Yunbu pretended to be Jin Weihuang and Han Jinzi's reinforcements, wearing the armor and banner of the Jingzhou soldiers, and there were also many Jingzhou soldiers who surrendered to Chengcheng mixed in.

Jiang Yiqu saw that it was the reinforcements led by Jin Weihuang, and saw that there were many familiar faces among the soldiers, and there was no suspicion of fraud, so he opened the city gate and let Jin Weihuang come in, Jin Weihuang came in, Zhao Yun also came in, Zhao Yun took advantage of Jiang Yiqu's unpreparedness, stretched out his ape arm, and captured Jiang Yiqu alive, Zhao Yun and 20,000 horses quickly entered the city and controlled the four gates of Wancheng.

Jin Liang, Zhang Jaw, and Xu Huang also quickly entered the city and completely occupied Wancheng.

Jin Liang cherished Jiang Yiqu as a general, and personally persuaded him to surrender, but Jiang Yiqu was grateful to Yuan Shao for his kindness, and would rather die than surrender, Jin Liang sent a few Jingzhou troops to flee back to Xiangyang to spread the news of Jiang Yiqu's surrender of the city, Yuan Shao was furious, and his brain was hot, and he destroyed Jiang Yiqu's family in Xiangyang. Jiang Yiqu heard that the family was killed by Yuan Shao, cried and fainted, and when he woke up, he shouted angrily: "If you don't kill Yuan Shao, you swear not to be a person!" ”

Under his leadership, Jin Liang's army was like a bamboo, and he quickly took other large and small cities in Nanyang County, such as Sui County, Yuyang, Xinye, Huyang, and Chaoyang counties were occupied by Jin Liang's army, and Jin Liang's army occupied the front foot, and the Jingzhou guerrilla regiment with Huang Zhongbu as the cornerstone and Huang Quan's Jingzhou Construction Corps quickly followed up, and organized the local people to establish a county and township soldier system to consolidate Jin Liang's rule over Nanyang County.

At the same time, Yuan Shao was angry that Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng had not detected Jin Liang's ambush soldiers in Dagu for their ineffective reconnaissance, and prepared to execute Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng, but Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng learned of Yuan Shao's intentions in advance, so they led four or five thousand soldiers under their command to fall into the grass again, and ran to the mountains west of Xiangyang, and often attacked a small group of Jingzhou troops under the banner of responding to Jin Liang's central army, which made the people in Jingzhou panic.

When Yuan Shao learned that Wancheng had fallen, Jin Liang's army was directed at Xiangyang, he had no master, and was busy moving to Jiangling to avoid Jin Liang. Already sick.

Just as Yuan Shao was about to abandon Xiangyang and flee to Jiangling, Xun You, who had recently defected to Yuan Shao, offered a plan, which made Yuan Shao set his mind to stick to Xiangyang.

Although Xun You was not valued by Yuan Shao, he also had the intention of abandoning Yuan Shao. But under Yuan Shao's command, he ate Yuan Shao's Yulu for a day, and he could only be loyal: "Jin Liang is an expedition to the void country, and Jizhou is empty." At this time, if a good debater was sent to Beiping, Youzhou, and said that Beiping Taishou Gongsun Zan would send troops to Jizhou, Jin Liang would learn that Jizhou was lost, and he would definitely return to the army, and the siege of Xiangyang could be solved. ”

The judge said disapplausively: "Far water can't quench the thirst of the near, this place is more than 2,000 miles away from Beiping, send someone to persuade Gongsun Zhan, even if the horse is fast." There are also more than ten days, even if Gongsun Zhan agrees, it will take more than ten days for him to send troops to attack Jizhou, and it will take more than ten days for Jizhou to send a message to Jin Liang, which will take more than a month, and Jin Liang's 100,000 soldiers and horses have already fought Xiangyang. ”

Xun Yu smiled, and his expression was very calm: "When the lord returns to the army from Luoyang." My brother Xun Chen has already gone to Beiping in the starry night, and now he must have arrived in Beiping and Gongsun Zhan has already sent troops, and Xiangyang uses flying pigeons to transmit emergency military information, and Jin Liang will definitely receive an urgent report from Xiangyang within two days. I concluded that Jin Liang would withdraw within five days. ”

Yuan Shao looked at Xun You in amazement and said, "I haven't got the approval of my father." How did Xun Chen go to Youzhou to win the trust of Gongsun Zhan? Although the actions of the Xun Chen Xun Yu brothers will resolve the predicament brought to him by Jin Liang, Yuan Shao is not grateful to the Xun brothers at all, but he is very angry, because they have not asked themselves at all when they do these things, and they really have nowhere to put their faces, but Yuan Shao, who has always been generous, tried his best to suppress the dissatisfaction in his heart, and his face was squeezed out like a spring breeze.

Xun You said the story of 1510 before and after.

It turned out that after Yuan Shao returned from the defeat in Luoyang, Xun You expected that Jin Liang would definitely raise a division to crusade against Jingzhou, so he proposed to his brother Xun Chen to give advice to Yuan Shao, so that he could lead Gongsun Zan to invade Jizhou to solve the difficulty of Jingzhou, Xun Chen agreed with Xun You's strategy, and went to the assassination of Shifu to offer advice, who knew that Yuan Shao at this time was defeated by Jin Liang's 100,000 army and did not feel faceless, and no one was seen in the Assassin's Mansion, Xun Chen went seven or eight times in a row and was stopped by the doorman, and he couldn't see Yuan Shao's face at all, and he couldn't offer his strategy at all. And the time is getting closer and closer to Xun You's estimated time for Jin Liang to send troops.

Xun Chen had no choice but to go back to the house to discuss with Xun You again, Xun You suggested that Xun Chen first persuade Yuan Shao's eldest son Yuan Tan, Yuan Tan was persuaded by Xun Chen, went to meet Yuan Shao, and regarded Xun Chen's plan as his own plan, and dedicated it to Yuan Shao like a treasure, Yuan Tan didn't say a word, and was blasted out by Yuan Shao, because Yuan Shao, who had just been defeated, had a strong self-esteem, and Yuan Shao had always looked down on Gongsun Chan in the wilderness, and was not ashamed to form an alliance with Gongsun Chan at all.

Yuan Tan withdrew from the Assassin's Mansion, and kept thinking about the situation Xun Chen told him, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Jin Liang was more likely to fight, his father's 100,000 army was easily wiped out by Jin Liang, if Jin Liang poured his army to attack Xiangyang, I am afraid that the remaining ones who were not as good as the original 100,000 elite Jingzhou troops could not resist, when Jingzhou was occupied by Jin Liang, his father Yuan Shao was eliminated by Jin Liang, and he couldn't be the emperor, so he couldn't be the emperor, thinking of this, Yuan Tan was impatient, so he went to Xun Chen to discuss.

Xun Chen saw that Yuan Tan was blasted out by Yuan Shao, and he couldn't think of any good ideas, so he went to ask Xun You again, Xun You suggested that Yuan Tan steal the seal from the Assassin's Mansion and fabricate official documents, Yuan Tan in order to prevent Jingzhou from being occupied by Jin Liang, he had to take the risk of stealing the seal to make an official document, Xun Chen is known for his ability to speak well, and in history he fooled Han Fu into giving up Jizhou to Yuan Shao, and this time he also went to the north of Youzhou to see Gongsun Zhan.

Xun Chen and his entourage of more than a dozen people, with more than 30 horses, pretending to be merchants, starry night, non-stop rush to Beiping, Xun Chen arrived in Beiping to restore Yuan Shao's strategists and Xun family's children, after meeting Gongsun Zhan, did not mention the news that Yuan Jun was defeated by Jin Liang in Luoyang and the whole army was annihilated, and this news has not yet reached Beiping, Xun Chen first handed over a generous gift, and then handed over the fabricated official documents and letters.

Gongsun Chan was very happy when he saw the generous gift, and Yuan Shao, who had never taken him seriously, sent someone to give him a gift, and Gongsun Chan felt very honored, so he looked at the official documents and letters with great interest.

In the official documents and letters fabricated by the Xun brothers, they flattered Gongsun Zhan's heroic and decisive confrontation against Xianbei, and deliberately belittled Gongsun Zhan's political opponent Liu Yu's appeasement policy towards Xianbei, and also made an empty promise to Gongsun Zhan: "If Gongsun Chan captures Xiangyang, Yuan Shao will unite with the protégés of the Yuan family all over the world to elect Gongsun Chan as a general." ”

Runan Yuan's protégés and former officials are all over the world, the power is very huge, supported by them, their own power is no longer limited to Beiping County, in the face of such a temptation, Gongsun Chan's heart moved, but Gongsun Chan's heart was hesitant, because he was afraid of the combat power of the Jinliang Central Army, he participated in the Dong Alliance, and saw the terrifying combat power of the Jinliang Central Army in the face of the Xiliang cavalry, so that later his general Tian Kai participated in the war of the Yuyang Tian family against Jin Liang, Tian Kai's whole army was annihilated Tian Kai himself was executed, Gongsun Chan didn't even dare to fart, because he was afraid that Jin Liang would hit Beiping in anger and destroy the Gongsun family.

Xun Chen saw Gongsun Zhan's face red for a while and white for a while, so he guessed that he must be afraid of the combat power of the Jinliang Central Army, so he pointed out the recent military deployment of the Jinliang Central Army and said: "Jinliang's main force is on the way from Luoyang to Jingzhou, there are only 10,000 infantry from Gao Shun here in Jizhou, and the soldiers of other counties and counties are vulnerable. ”

Xun Chen also swore solemnly: "My lord must do his best to drag Jin Liang's main force in Jingzhou, so that he cannot return in time to help, so that General Gongsun can successfully capture Xiangyang." ”

What Xun Chen really thought in the bottom of his heart was that once your Gongsun Zhan invaded Jizhou, we would send someone to tell Jin Liang and let them retreat.

Gongsun Zhan was aroused by Xun Chen's flickering, but he was worried that Liu Yu, the pastor of Youzhou, saw that he had sent troops to attack Jizhou and attack his old nest Beiping, Xun Chen said: "Liu Yu trusts the strategist Wei You the most, and obeys his words, I will persuade Wei You, and then let Wei You persuade Liu Yu to stay still, and then General Gongsun, you can rest assured that you can wave your army to attack Jizhou." ”

Xun Chen went to Yuyang non-stop, and persuaded Wei You with a lot of property in a few words, and Wei You persuaded Liu Yu to be a mantis to catch cicadas and yellow finches behind. As Jin Liang's ally, Liu Yu understands the combat strength of Jin Liang's Central Army, and expects that Gongsun Chan will definitely lose his troops no matter whether he can capture Xiangyang this time.

Seeing that Liu Yu was not moving, Gongsun Zhan gathered an army of 50,000 with confidence and waved his army south.

Because Jin Liang is a disciple of Lu Zhi, Gongsun Chan is also a disciple of Jin Liang, Gongsun Chan is Jin Liang's senior brother, although the relationship between the two is not good, they rarely have a bad relationship, so the central army does not have much vigilance against Gongsun Chan at all, when Gongsun Chan suddenly started a war, the local county soldiers of Hejian County and Bohai County were caught off guard, and Gongsun Chan captured several cities in a row.

In addition, most of Gongsun Zhan's 50,000 people are cavalry, fighting with Xianbei for many years, and the combat power is quite strong, and Jin Liang transferred the general Xu Rong from the north of Jizhou to Chang'an, only Lu Dai in the north of Jizhou defended, and the strength was weak, and most of the Hejian County and Bohai County in Jizhou fell into the hands of Gongsun Zhan, and Lu Dai retreated to Bohai County to govern Nanpi City.

Yuan Shao was anxious, and when he heard that Xun Chen's plan was sold, although he hated the Xun brothers' first cut and then play, he was also very happy, he didn't have to move the base camp to Jiangling.

Yuan Shao listened to Xun You's suggestion at this time, and was worried that Gao Shun, who was guarding Xiangyang, was too slow to send a message to Jin Liang, so he sent someone to inform Jin Liang.

Jin Liang was about to raise troops to attack Xiangyang City, but he received a secret letter from Yuan Shao, which was to the effect that "Gongsun Chan has gone to fight your Jizhou, and there is a fire in your backyard, go back quickly, hahahaha." ”
