Chapter 0491 - Attack one after another
At this time, news suddenly came from Yuzhou that Zhou Ang had been killed, Sun Jian had been defeated, and Zhang Fei and Xun You of the Northern Xinjiang Army had occupied Yuzhou.
Yuan Shao was furious, and despite the opposition of Liu Dai and others, he instead ordered all kinds of support armies to go to Yuzhou to crusade against the Northern Xinjiang Army. At the same time, he secretly believed to Liu Biao and seized this opportunity to attack Nanyang, even if he couldn't drive Yuan Shu and Sun Jian away, he would hit them hard.
Liu Dai, Bao Xin and others tried their best to advise. Everyone has just worked together to conquer the land of Gyeonggi, how can they turn against each other and form a grudge for a Yuzhou? Let's put down the Yellow Turban rebellion first.
Yuan Shao didn't listen and was stubborn. At this time, Liang Guo came to report the emergency, saying that He Yi of the Yellow Turban Army led the army into Yuzhou. This was exactly what Yuan Shao wanted, and he immediately used this as an excuse to send troops to Yuzhou and shut up Liu Dai and others.
Yuan Shao said very resolutely to Liu Dai and the others: "The scourge of ant thieves is not to worry about. A little sooner or later, sooner or later we will be pacified, but what about Dong Zhuo's disaster? Dong Zhuo's disaster, when will we be able to calm down? From Dong Zhuo's disaster, we can imagine that if the hussar general occupies Luoyang, occupies Yuzhou, and controls the eldest princess and the imperial court, will it cause a second Dong Zhuo's disaster? If there are two catastrophes of Dong Zhuo and Li Hong, when will we be able to stabilize the society? ”
"We must stop Li Yi and the Northern Xinjiang Army from occupying Luoyang and Yuzhou at all costs. This is the only way to stabilize the community as soon as possible. ”
In late June, Guo Tu sent the shocking news from Jizhou that the Northern Xinjiang Army had entered Jizhou again. Yuan Shao and the state and county officials were very surprised. Li Yi had just captured Luoyang, and he couldn't wait to dispatch troops to rob Yuzhou and Jizhou, what did he want to do? Do you want to dominate one side or do you want to usurp the community?
Guo Tu said in the letter: "After Gao Gan and I arrived in Nanpi, we have already negotiated with Gongsun Zhan. Gongsun Chan promised to help us drive out Han Fu and defeat the Yellow Turban Army, and then the lord gave Bohai to Gongsun Chan. Now Guan Jing, the elder of Gongsun Zhan, and I have arrived in Yecheng in Wei County. The situation in Wei County was very bad, the Yellow Turban Army was commanding a large army to besiege Yecheng and nearby cities, and Li Jing could lead his army from Handan at any time to take Yecheng and capture Wei County. Please hurry north, I am afraid that I will not be able to do so. ”
Yuan Shao was shocked and immediately organized troops to attack the Yellow Turban Army.
………………
In mid-June, the Black Mountain Yellow Turban Army and the Yuyan Yellow Turban Army successfully joined forces in Dong County.
The leaders of the Yellow Turban Army in Montenegro, Bai Huan and Yu Poison, and the leaders of the Yellow Turban Army of Yuyan, Gong Du, Pei Yuanshao, and Zhou Cang, met in Qinting, and the two sides immediately began to discuss the next move of the Yellow Turban Army and the future of the Yellow Turban Army.
Gong Du believed that Yuzhou and Yanzhou were located in the thoroughfare of the Central Plains, which was the place of the four wars, and was not suitable to be the foundation of the Yellow Turban Army, and the foundation of the Yellow Turban Army was in Jizhou, and it was better to go north to Jizhou.
Bai Huan objected. He carefully analyzed the situation and believed that under the condition that Gongsun Zhan had already gone south to Jizhou and the northern Xinjiang was eyeing Jizhou, Jizhou had become a dead land, and after the Yellow Turban Army entered, it would definitely suffer heavy losses. Although the Yellow Turban Army has a large number of people, it is really vulnerable compared to the northern Xinjiang and Gongsun Zhan's iron cavalry. Bai Huan suggested taking Yanzhou as the base, and then attacking instead of defending, frequently attacking Jizhou, Qingzhou, Yuzhou, and Xuzhou, so as to buy enough time for the Yellow Turban Army to gain a foothold in Yanzhou and loot enough supplies.
Gong Du smiled bitterly, he patted Bai Huan's shoulder and said, "Brother, it's not that I don't want to stay in Yanzhou, the Central Plains, but I can't stay in Yuyan anymore." Look at the millions of displaced people who follow us, they want to eat, they want to live. From last autumn to now, we have been fighting for a year, and although we have survived, we have also beaten Yan, Qing, and Xu to the ground. At present, the only prefectures and counties that have grain and are close to us are Jizhou and Yuzhou. Not long ago, He Yi and Liu Pi went west with hundreds of thousands of people, and they wanted to build a place in Yuzhou. And we will go to Jizhou, whether we are dead or alive, we have to break through. ”
Bai Huan and Yu Poison repeatedly dissuaded, but Gong Du, Pei Yuanshao and others insisted on complying. Later, Bai Tong put forward a compromise opinion, asking Pei Yuanshao to take 300,000 people north first, and he and Yu Poison retreated across the Yellow River, and then cooperated with Pei Yuanshao to go north with each other. Gong Du stayed in Yanzhou to develop, and Zhou Cang led his army to fight in Qingzhou and Xuzhou to contain the forces of various states and counties. If the northward attack was blocked, Gong Du led his army north to respond, and then everyone retreated to Yanzhou together. In this way, regardless of success or failure, the Yellow Turban Army can retain a foothold and will not suffer the fate of the entire army again.
Gong agreed. The leaders of each department made a bloody alliance and returned to their own army, ready to fight for survival.
………………
In June, Yecheng, Jizhou.
In the face of the ensuing crises, Jizhou Mu Hanfu is under increasing pressure.
First, the eldest princess and the court wrote to accuse him, as the first assistant in charge of state affairs in the court, he ignored the law and privately asked Gongsun Zhan to recruit the army to the south. The requisition of the army is a matter for the eldest princess and the imperial court, even if the situation in Jizhou is extremely critical, you have to write at the same time to say it, right? If it weren't for the Taifu to inform him, the eldest princess and the court would still be in the dark. Since you don't have the eldest princess and the court in your eyes, what qualifications do you have to be in charge of state affairs? Since Jizhou is more important than the imperial court and the Han Sheji, then you can be your Jizhou pastor with peace of mind.
Han Fu originally wanted to defend himself in a book, but thinking about it, he forgot it again. Now the eldest princess and the imperial court are wholeheartedly helping the hussar general to speak, especially after Luoyang is conquered and the hope of pleasing King Dong Qin is getting bigger and bigger, they will not stand on their side. Compared with the great cause of seeking Dong Qinwang and stabilizing the society, what is the safety of a Jizhou? Since you ignore the safety of Jizhou, then you should go to King Dong Qin. I want to see, without Jizhou's money and food, how can you ask King Dong Qin.
At this time, the number of displaced people in Jizhou surged, Gongsun Zhan's 30,000 army rushed south, the Jizhou army and the Yellow Turban army were at war again, the money and grain expenditure of Jizhou was very amazing, and Yuan Shao controlled the other half of Jizhou's taxes, Han Fu had no choice but to cut off the food and salary of the Northern Xinjiang Army. The Northern Xinjiang Army had no food and salary, and the great cause of courting King Dong Qin had to be put aside for the time being.
The eldest princess and the court were furious. If Jizhou is in chaos and fails to ask for Dong Qinwang, it is all your Han Fu's responsibility. The hussar general also wrote to accuse, but Li Yi said it very tactfully, and he implored Han Fu to take the society as his mind, restore the supply of food and salary as soon as possible, and support the Northern Xinjiang Army in attacking Guanzhong.
At the same time, the Jizhou army was defeated in successive battles with the Yellow Turban Army. Because Pan Long betrayed Han Fu and ran away with Yuan Shao with 10,000 troops privately, the Jizhou army only had 10,000 troops left by Zhao Fu and Cheng Lian, so the troops were obviously insufficient and could not defeat the Yellow Turban Army. Han Fu then asked Gongsun Chan for support.
In mid-May, Gongsun Zhan led his army to the south of Bohai County, and Tian Kai also led his army to Qinghe Kingdom, but neither of them moved. Tian Kai even used the shortage of food and salary as an excuse to retreat step by step, and gave up the entire Qinghe Kingdom to Pei Yuanshao of the Yellow Turban Army. The prime minister of Qinghe and more than 3,000 county soldiers had to fight alone, and all of them were killed.
Han Fu wrote three times a day, urging again and again.
Gongsun Chan wrote back: "It's not that I don't go to support, it's not that I don't want to fight, it's that I'm so hungry that I can't lift a knife." My 30,000 troops haven't been paid for a year, I wonder if Han Envoy can make up for it? ”
Han Fu was angry, and his words were a bit excessive, which angered Gongsun Zhan. Gongsun Zhan, a person who is usually very disgusted with the gate valve celebrities, is even more angry when he sees Han Fu's accusation, and says: "If you want the horse to run, and you want the horse not to eat grass, what are you to us?" A slave of your house? If you don't give any more money, I'll leave immediately. ”
Han Fu had no choice but to raise money and grain everywhere and ask for help from the three counties of Bohai, Hejian and Anping. The government officials of the two counties of Bohai and Anping replied that Yuan Shao, the Taishou and Zhang Qi, the minister of state, were not there, and these subordinate officials could not be the masters. The minister of Hejian replied that since Han Envoy Jun couldn't handle the matter of Jizhou, it was better to leave as soon as possible, so as not to harm others and himself in the future and incur the disaster of the nine clans.
Although Han Fu was very angry, he was also very frustrated, he was disheartened and wanted to leave. Chang Shi Gengwu, Don't drive Min Chun and a group of Peng subordinates tried their best to dissuade them.
Han Fu then wrote a letter to Liu Yu and asked him to come forward to persuade Gongsun Zhan. Gongsun Chan was unceremonious, and replied to Liu Yu back. Gongsun Chan said: "Taifu asked us to go south thousands of miles hungry to attack and kill the Yellow Turban Army, but we can't do it. The imperial court has the Northern Xinjiang Army, and Jizhou has the county soldiers, why are they unwilling to send troops and strength? Why should we be sent to death? Could it be that we are born with a lowly life, and we are born with a tool for your Taifu to gain fame? ”
Liu Yu was angry and wrote back to Gongsun Zhan: "If you don't want to fight, forget it, immediately roll back to Hejian Country for me, and I will go to Jizhou to lead troops to fight." ”
When Tian Kai heard the news, he hurriedly dissuaded Gongsun Zhan, who was roaring like thunder, and then wrote a confession in the name of Gongsun Zhan. Liu Yu is the Taifu, and the Northern Xinjiang Army has a good relationship with Liu Yu, once Liu Yu really wants to order to deprive Gongsun Chan of his military power, things will be out of control.
Gongsun Zhan was angry and shouted to Tian Kai: "I won't go back to Hejian Country." Never go back. ”
Tian Kai persuaded: "Brother Lord, you have 30,000 soldiers under your command, don't be rash." Where can we go if we don't go back to the Transriver Country? ”
Gongsun Chan said murderously: "Kill Han Fu and take Jizhou." ”
In early June, the Yellow Turban soldiers came to the city. The Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army had already crossed the river, and some of them attacked Bohai County, and some of them, after occupying the Qinghe Kingdom, attacked Wei County, intending to join up with Zhenggu.
At this critical moment, Gongsun Chan still had no intention of sending troops to attack. Gongsun Zhan's meaning is very clear, if you don't give me money, I won't send troops.
Just when Han Fu was so anxious that he had nothing to do, a thunderbolt suddenly came that the Northern Xinjiang Army was stationed in Jizhou and occupied the four counties of Changshan, Zhongshan, Zhao and Julu. (To be continued.) )
