During the Han Dynasty, Qingzhou had a large population and developed economics, agriculture, and handicrafts. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

However, at the end of the Han Dynasty, corrupt officials were rampant, the grange swelled uncontrollably, the powerful arbitrarily annexed land, and natural disasters continued, so that people lived in hardship.

After the Yellow Turban Uprising, people rushed to participate, and the ranks quickly swelled, making it one of the most harmful states in the Yellow Turbans.

Fang Liang and Xu Huang went south to Qingzhou very quickly, and the cavalry of Yan Liang and Wen Chou opened the way, defeated many Yellow Turban thieves in Hejian State along the way, and went directly to Nanpi of Bohai County, where the Yellow Turban Army abandoned the city and restored the government's rule over Bohai County.

In only three days, Fang Liang led the army to the boundary of Qingzhou.

Zhang Huan, the general of the Yellow Turbans in the Plains, received the news brought by the fleeing Yellow Turban soldiers in advance, and the Youzhou army was invincible; In order to temporarily avoid the enemy's front, he ceded the two cities of Leling and Yanci, and let Fang Liang's army pass; Fang Liang smoothly entered Le'an County and crossed the Yellow River.

Under the leadership of the general Sima Ju, the Yellow Turban Army of Le'an County organized several ambushes near Le'an County by taking advantage of the advantageous terrain and large number of personnel, but they were all scattered by the cavalry and suffered heavy losses.

In order to be in a hurry, Fang Liang did not continue to follow after the Yellow Turban thieves scattered.

As a last resort, Qingzhou Qu Shuai Bu Ji ordered all the troops of Le'an County to enter Bochang City, open the road, and let the Youzhou reinforcements enter Linzi City smoothly.

Qingzhou has always been short of horses, the Yellow Turban Army did not dare to fight with the cavalry outside the city, otherwise even if it was victorious, it would suffer heavy losses, if it was defeated, it would be a big blow to the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, affecting the prestige of the Yellow Turban Army among the people, which was not conducive to future development.

Qu Shuai Buji believes that the Yellow Turban Army of Le'an County is stationed in Bochang City, and if the Youzhou reinforcements attack the city, they will just take advantage of the characteristics of the defense that the Yellow Turban is good at, and use the tactics of the sea of people to strike at the enemy in the defense of the city; If they don't attack the city, wait until they enter Linzi before cleaning them up.

The measures taken by Qu Shuai Buji in Linzi were to besiege the city with a large army, and as long as there was no food in Linzi City, they would win without a fight; And this has another advantage, the main force of the government is surrounded in Linzi, then several of his generals can go to various places to plunder and develop their strength, and when Qingzhou is occupied, Linzi will definitely be difficult to defend alone.

Fang Liang and others successfully entered Linzi City on April 15; Regarding the arrival of Youzhou reinforcements, Gong Jing, the minister of Qi, and Huang Wan, the assassin of Qingzhou, were very happy and immediately set up a banquet to entertain them.

Liu Cheng, the king of Qi, was invited to the banquet and promised to go to the barracks tomorrow to reward the army. Now that several kings have been captured and several kings have fled, he has been frightened, and the reinforcements sent by Youzhou have made him see hope and his heart is a lot more stable.

Fang Liang is a reinforcement, from the Wuhuan Captain's Mansion, Gong Jing can't be lazy, after all, the siege of the city by the army is related to his life.

Huang Wan is the history of Qingzhou Thorn, and Fang Liang is a 600-stone official, and he is even more polite to Fang Liang.

Gong Jing was the most anxious, and asked: "Fang Sima, there are as many as 100,000 yellow turban thieves outside the city, and the yellow turban thieves in other counties are also rampant, so what can I do?" ”

Fang Liang said with a smile: "No matter how many there are, they are not cavalry opponents, otherwise Liang would not have arrived in Linzi City so smoothly; After the officers and soldiers have recuperated for a few days and consolidated the city defense, they will lead the cavalry out of the city to fight, which will surely kill the Yellow Turban Army upside down. ”

Fang Liang had a plan, that is, to leave the infantry in the city, only take the cavalry and senior infantry out of the city, without the drag of the infantry, he can adopt the travel tactics that Gao Shun once taught them, use the mobility of the cavalry, and continuously attack the Yellow Turban Army, accumulate a small victory for Dashun, until the Yellow Turban Army is eliminated, or let them transfer to Yanzhou or Xuzhou, and then he will take advantage of the situation to go to the two states to assist and get more military achievements.

Although Gong Jing and Huang Wan did not believe that Fang Liang had this ability, the thousands of infantry they brought were rare elite soldiers, and with these infantry joining the defense of the city, Linzi City would definitely be more stable.

Huang Wan is very smart, he has been known as a prodigy since he was a child, and he was afraid that Fang Liang would be careless and underestimate the enemy, so he hurriedly asked, "Fang Sima, do you have any specific plans?" ”

Fang Liang felt that the other party was not at ease and did not trust him, so he pretended not to know, so he explained: "Liang caught a few Yellow Turban thieves on the way here, and after interrogation, he basically understood the distribution of the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou; They took Linzi as the center, bloomed on all sides, and all the counties were plundered, and the people suffered greatly; The weak point of the Yellow Turban Thieves is the Beihai Kingdom, where the land is vast and sparsely populated, which is not conducive to the development of the Yellow Turban Army, and it is close to Linzi City, if the siege of Beihai is rescued first, and then the Yellow Turban Thieves in Donglai County are cleared, then the eastern part of Linzi will be safe, only to deal with the enemy in the west, and the situation of being surrounded on several sides will be easily solved. ”

When Gong Jing heard this, he was overjoyed.

Fang Liang, as the current highest military general in Qingzhou, Huang Wan and Gong Jing relieved themselves to hand over the military command to Fang Liang.

In the next few days, Fang Liang rectified the officers and soldiers in the city, selected those who were good at cavalry and archery, and reorganized the original Zi cavalry, and selected a total of more than 400 people to form a group of cavalry, with a junior military attache serving as a military candidate.

Fang Liang couldn't help but be glad that when he came, in order to speed up the march, he brought more war horses, which now came in handy.

The infantry eliminated the old and weak, and there were more than 3,000 people left, which were organized into 8 divisions, and 8 junior military attaches were arranged to serve as military candidates; The eliminated infantry was incorporated into the baggage brigade, which was responsible for transportation, vigilance, logistics and food.

As a result of the rectification, the mental outlook of these original officers and men has taken on a completely new look, and they are no longer the same as when they were in their old families, and they have a trace of the atmosphere of soldiers.

At each city gate, 2 troops were arranged to take turns on duty, and the 9 infantry brought from Youzhou were in the center to support.

Huang Wan and Gong Jing were greatly satisfied with the adjusted city defense.

The major families received the report from the family members, and felt that Fang Liang did have the talent to govern the army, and in a short period of time, he trained a group of rabble composed of family members and ordinary young people to look like elite soldiers, and their hearts suddenly settled down a lot; Several major families joined forces to reward the army.

For these large families, the Yellow Turban Thief is their natural enemy.

The commander of the Yellow Turban Qu was very shrewd, and after the reinforcements from Youzhou entered Linzi City, he immediately ordered the generals to speed up the plunder, especially the generals of Donglai County and Beihai State, and lead the troops to the west as soon as possible after the plunder, otherwise they would be blocked by the officers and soldiers in the narrow area of the peninsula, and there would be no escape, and if they were transferred to the west of Linzi, they could move in all directions.

and ordered the Yellow Turban Army of Le'an County to come to Linzi to besiege the city together; The Yellow Turbans of Pingyuan County and Jinan took advantage of the situation to occupy territory and develop their power, and the Linzi Yellow Turbans were horns of each other, and served as the rear base of the Linzi Yellow Turban Army, which could facilitate their retreat if Linzi could not do anything.

From Jinan, it is easy to enter Yanzhou or Xuzhou, and the Taishan Mountains can provide them with cover and facilitate the Yellow Turban Army to wander around; Pingyuan County was a springboard for him to go north to join the main force of the Yellow Turban Army in Jizhou, and at the same time, he could easily get the support of the Yellow Turban base camp.

Qu Shuai Buji's order was just the appetite of several generals, and the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army quickly took action.

With the arrival of Sima Ju's troops in Le'an County, the strength of the Yellow Turban Army outside Linzi City became stronger, and Qu Shuai's confidence in the siege greatly increased.

Zhang Huan of Pingyuan County, Xu He of Jinan State, and Huang Long of Donglai County also accelerated the speed of plundering.

A series of adjustments by Qu Shuai Buji made the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army more violent and stronger than in history; And after the arrival of the Youzhou Army, due to external pressure, the internal contradictions of the Yellow Turban Army were weakened, and the various departments were more united, which was an unexpected gain of Qu Shuai Buji, which made him very excited.
