Fan Chou, like Zhang Ji, died in his own house, to be precise, his temporary residence in Bailing County, although there was no strict protection, but there was a lesson from Zhang Ji's death in his residence before, even if he was known to be bold and fearless and not afraid of death, he didn't dare to be so careless about his safety, so there were patrolling Xiliang soldiers everywhere in Bailing County, and the entire county had entered an unprecedented state of martial law, but in this case, someone was able to quietly go to the couch of his bedroom and give him a fatal knife in his sleep.

No one knows who the murderer is, only that his skills must be extraordinary, or he has planned and arranged it a long time ago, otherwise there will be no clues at the scene of the murder.

Of course, at this time, no one cared about who the murderer was, but more about who would take his place after Fan Chou's death, and who would accept these horses under his command.

Unlike Zhang Ji, Fan Chou's control of his subordinates was obviously not as strong, and after his death, the generals under him were dissatisfied with each other because there was no one to subordinate them, and as a result, they were very stiff with each other, and even fought with each other.

And Li Yu and Guo Yan also have a heart for the army under Fan Chou, but because of their fear of each other, no one took it lightly, and because Zhang Ji and Fan Chou died one after another, Li Yu and Guo Yan, a pair of friends who have worked together for many years, have become suspicious of each other.

In fact, the contradiction between the two has been a long time, since they followed Dong Zhuo very early, the two were relied on as important right-hand men, and then they were able to lead an army alone, and then Li Ru used some means. The gap between their originally harmonious relationship is also to prevent the two from leading the army all the year round, and it is easy to have different hearts, and when the time comes, it is better to deal with two people who are not in tune than the two of them to cooperate, this is a good idea, and it has indeed been done, but I am afraid that he would not have imagined that it would evolve into the way it is now.

Although it is rumored that these are likely to be done by people sent by this new alliance to discuss Dong, after all, there is no evidence, and Li Yu thinks that Guo Yan does not care about the old feelings and the overall situation at this time. Taking advantage of the approach of Yuan and Sun Dajun, he just took the opportunity to attack Zhang Ji and Fan Chou. In order to satisfy their ambitions of wanting their army, but completely blamed it on the Yuan and Sun coalition forces, there is a very important reason for this, which is that Chen Guoxinping, the place where Zhang Ji and Fan Chou died, and the Bailing of Ruyang County are very close to the place where Guo Yantun's army is. And the singing and dancing temple in Xinping was almost burned down by the angry Zhang Ji's men. At the critical moment, Guo Yan's subordinates came forward to stop it.

Although there is no direct evidence to prove that the deaths of the two must be related to Guo Yan. But at least it proves that he is very suspicious.

As for Guo Yan, he didn't feel anything at first, but he knew Li Yu's thoughts through some channels. Suddenly there was a pimple in the bottom of my heart, so that both sides looked at each other unpleasantly.

At this time, Sun Ce and Yuan Shu first took advantage of Zhang Ji's death to attack Chen Guo and capture a large piece of Zhang Ji's Xiliang army under Zhang Ji's command, and then sat on the fishing profits of his subordinates after Fan Chou's death.

Yuan Sun's army was violent, Sun Ce was even more powerful in this battle, one person led hundreds of horsemen to break into Guo Yan's army formation alone, staged a realistic ten thousand troops to take the head of the enemy general, since then the third person of the four heavenly kings of Xiliang Guo Yan died, Guo Yan everyone was disheartened, and had no choice but to surrender.

After that, Li Yu was even more embarrassed, not only did he fall into a disadvantage in terms of numbers, but also because Guo Yan and the other three died one after another, Li Yu himself was in a bad mood and even neglected to manage his subordinates, which caused a lot of chaos in the army, and the morale of the guide was very low.

At this time, Lu Bu sent a letter of surrender to Li Yu in the name of the deputy leader of the alliance, although Li Yu tore up the letter in front of him, and vowed to kill Lu Bu, a traitor under Dong Zhuo, but he still couldn't stop the panic in the army that spread like a plague.

The Yuan-Sun coalition army was menacing, while Li Yu's army was demoralized, and the result can be imagined.

On the 30th day of the first month of the third year of the first peace, since Li Yu did not surrender to the death, after the combined forces of Yuan and Sun entered Yuzhou, it can be said that a major war in the real sense broke out in Dingling County, Yingchuan County.

Li Yu's army is nearly 40,000, most of them are the elite of Xiliang Iron Cavalry, who dares to stop the charge, and the Yuan and Sun coalition army has nearly 80,000 people, after two battles with Zhang Ji's subordinates and Guo Yan's army, there are also a lot of injuries, and a part of the defenders in Yuzhou must be divided, but only this part can be withdrawn, which is more than twice as much as Li Yu's army.

As for those from the Xiliang army under Zhang Ji, Fan Chou and Guo Yan, they don't dare to use it now, so they can only use their own main force.

And in this battle, in order to further shake the heart of Li Yu's army and make him fall into a trough even more, Lu Bu's Jianyì was also adopted.

So when the three armies obviously dressed differently and with different numbers surrounded Li Yu's Xiliang Army in Yingchuan County, Li Yujun's soldiers who were dazed and even had no focus on their eyes heard the Xiliang Song from all sides, which was the most familiar melody for them, but they didn't know how long it had been since they heard it, which represented their enthusiasm and unrestrainedness, and now they finally felt it.

But they didn't have the slightest intention of rising up to resist, and some even put down their weapons to surrender, although they were immediately ordered to be shot by Li Yu, but once this kind of psychological hole is torn open, it is difficult to be sewn up again, let alone with such strong means.

There are some things between people that are contagious, and there is definitely more than one person who wants to surrender, and as the surrounding Xiliang songs gradually become high-pitched and the songs gradually become high-pitched, their hearts are also like a boat floating in the waves, and they can no longer be still.

To say that the main component of Dong Zhuo's army is actually the Xiliang Army, and many of them are old people who follow Dong Zhuo, such as Li Yu, Guo Yan, Fan Chou and Na Xu Rong and others, all of whom are the generals of Dong Zhuo's army, and they are also Dong Zhuo's most trusted army so far, and the vast majority of these people are actually from Liangzhou.

Hearing the familiar hometown sound, hearing the familiar tune of the hometown, their thoughts hidden in the deepest part and covered up by life for more than two years were finally completely swept away.

Li Yu was able to stop one person, but he couldn't stop everyone, when the first batch of charging Xiliang cavalry was unexpectedly directly crushed by Sun Ce's army, the morale was further damaged, and the influence of the eight-sided Xiliang Qu was also more prominent.

"Surrender, I surrender, as long as I can go back to my hometown in Liangzhou to see it again."

"I also surrender, no more fighting, no more fighting!"

"Spare your life, take the little old man back to his hometown, the little old man misses the old family in Liangzhou, but he doesn't want to die in a foreign land like this!"

……

"Haha, in the past, Gaozu besieged the overlord of Western Chu on all sides, and all the soldiers of the Han army sang the ballad of Chu, which caused the army under the command of the overlord of Western Chu to be disheartened and unstable, which became the biggest reason for the overlord's defeat; Now there is Wenhou Xiliangqu on all sides, surrounding the Xiliang 100,000 iron cavalry, which makes his army chaotic and no longer has the strength to resist.
