Heavy snow comes and goes fast. It only rained for one day, leaving three inches of snow on the ground, and the wind and snow came to an abrupt end. Then, the sun rose from the hazy sky, which was not very warm.

Although the snow on the ground was not thick, the cold wind and the mud formed by the soles of human feet and the iron hooves of horses still made the march in this weather a kind of suffering.

According to the messenger sent back by Tai Shi Ci, Zhang Yan learned that Tai Shi Ci's entire army had not suffered any major losses in the wind and snow, and had now re-embarked on the road of pursuing Yuan's army. Moreover, Tai Shici's messenger also reported that Yuan's army was troubled by the snow, and the speed of the march had dropped by at least fifty percent.

This result obviously made Tai Shici's pursuit more and more powerful. Yuan Jun wants to successfully withdraw to the camp of Qiuqiu this time, I am afraid it will not be so easy.

Immediately afterwards, after confirming the safety of Julu City, the number of messengers from all over the country began to increase.

Since the day Yuan Shao fell ill, there have been local heroes in Jizhou who saw that the situation was not good and quietly broke away from the Yuan army camp. Yuan Jun was too busy to take care of himself, and of course he didn't bother to care about those guys who came to make fun. In this way, a series of news that was extremely unfavorable to Yuan Shaojun spread unstoppably with the scattered heroes.

As a result, the rumor that Yuan Jun hit his head and broke his head under Julu City and bled quickly spread throughout most of Jizhou like a howling wind. And the victory of the Bingzhou army in this battle immediately made a lot of people who took the opportunity to make waves, and they were dizzy. Under the panic of the people, the local tyrants of Jizhou, who had originally gathered and swarmed up, were scattered in an instant.

In just a few days, the county strongholds of the state army, which had been in a very bad situation, returned to the appearance of peace. It's just that anyone with a little insight knows it. In the face of the collective riot of Jizhou Haoqiang, the state army will inevitably retaliate. Based on the past actions of the Bingzhou army in Bingzhou, I am afraid that in the next few months, there will be a tragic scene of "blood flowing and drifting" in Jizhou.

At such a critical moment of turmoil, those who did not directly participate in the riots chose to be humble and generous. I went to visit the county magistrates of the state army to seek peace of mind. And all the heroes who participated in the military activities in support of Yuan Shao also had their own plans. The actions of many of these families are actually the same as Guo Jia's prediction. Even the difficult road after the snow still can't stop the powerful people from escaping south.

Of course, Guo Jia's prediction is also inaccurate. The powerful clans who fled south were greatly affected by the sudden arrival of snow. In this way, in order to escape from Jizhou in time. The powerful clans could only leave behind most of the distant clansmen and use the family lineage elite as the backbone of the escape. As a result, Guo Jia's prediction of the fugitives in tens of thousands immediately became calculated in thousands.

As for the remnants of the Haoqiang Yuan tribesmen, their ability to resist the Bingzhou army has been greatly reduced, the threat basically no longer exists, and the responsibility is not heavy, so there is no need for the Bingzhou army to deal with them too harshly.

When more and more counties have regained their connection with Julu City. The arrogant mood is also getting more and more relaxed. Under the pretext of recuperating from his injuries, he handed over the civil affairs to Du Feng, who had shown a firm stance in the siege war. It was a chance to give him a chance to show his talents, and he stayed at home to control the situation remotely.

After all, Du Feng is a pro-people manager who has been in charge of a county alone, and he has a lot of experience in government affairs, and his talent is enough, just a few days, he has taken care of the things at hand. I believe that after a period of running-in. Du Feng can have the ability to take care of one side of the other.

Of course, insolence is in the city, and it is impossible to really ignore everything. At least, the messenger that Tai Shici sent back every day, he must have received. Although I don't expect Tai Shi Ci to go. What huge loss will it bring to Yuan Shao, so I have to bite off a piece of Yuan Shao's meat!

On the fifth day after Tai Shi Ci's attack. The Messenger brought good news from the front, a good surprise to the insolence.

Yuan Shaojun suffered a great defeat and fled in embarrassment. In this battle, the state army beheaded more than 3,000 people, and captured no more than 10,000 people, so that the Yuan army was in a heavy armor battle!

Hearing this news, Zhang Qiang was just stunned for a moment, and immediately ecstatic!

If the above news is true, then Yuan Shao sent troops this time, but he was afraid that the loss of troops would exceed half of Yuan Shao's total troops. With half of the elite soldiers in his hands, Yuan Shao had no strength to counterattack and merge the state army from then on. can barely maintain the current situation, Yuan Shao is capable!

Of course, such a big result is not something that more than a thousand cavalry from Taishi Ci can do. In this battle, the cavalry led by Tai Shici was just beating the side drum. The army that really brought such a big result was actually the reinforcements that were specially transferred from Bingzhou before the Battle of Julu as a precautionary force.

It is said that as mentioned earlier, since Zang Ba, Yu Ban, Le Jin and others, all the generals who have some reputation in the Bingzhou Army have their own tasks. So, whose battalion leader is this Bingzhou reinforcement that got such a huge result from Yuan Shao as soon as it appeared?

The answer is:

The Flying Bear Army commanded by Li Dao and Guo Yan.

Originally, Dong Zhuo's subordinates Li Wei and Guo Yan were counterattacking Chang'an City and conquering most of the city's critical moment, when Han Sui and Ma Teng's combined forces from Liangzhou came to the back, resulting in the good situation being overturned in an instant.

In the face of the rolling Liangzhou cavalry, the unprepared Dong Zhuo's remaining troops were tired from a long battle, and secondly, they lacked common command, and were soon defeated by the Liangzhou vanguard army Ma Teng one by one.

The remnants of Dong Zhuo, who launched a counteroffensive against Chang'an, were led by four generals, Li Dao, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji, and Fan Chou, who were known as the "Dragon, Tiger, Leopard and Bear", plus Jia Xu, a strategist with some prestige in the army. After being defeated by the Liangzhou rebels, the five of them managed to gather their horses and got more than 20,000 people. It's just that they also know that since Han Sui and Ma Teng have been killed, it means that the place where Si Li can't stay for a long time, so they have to discuss leaving this place and going to other princes.

However, the five did not agree on who to defect to.

The four generals of the "Dragon, Tiger, Leopard and Bear" have the same status, and no one can make others obey. Among them, Guo Yan and Li Dao have always been good friends and have maintained a consistent attitude. And Jia Xu, due to the limited military power in his hands, could only persuade Zhang Ji, who trusted him the most, to act together.

Due to personal superstition, Li Dao has the most respect for the arrogance that can predict the future, and pulls Guo Yan to go north to join the state of insolence. Zhang Ji and Jia Xu wanted to go south to find Liu Biao of Jingzhou, who had a slight friendship, so as to get out of the battlefield of the princes in the Central Plains. Fan Chou was silent in the meeting, obviously having his own plans.

Dong Zhuo's remnants, who were originally united and fought back against Chang'an, immediately fell apart after experiencing a defeat, without the goal of working together.

After a not-so-fierce quarrel, the five saw that they could not reach an agreement, so they no longer forced others. Li Dao and Guo Yan first led their troops north, and Zhang Ji and Jia Xu also set off south. As for Fan Chou, he has some friendship with Han Sui. After staying in place for a few days, Fan Chou finally negotiated the conditions with the envoy sent by Han Sui, and raised troops to join Han Sui's account.

Li Dao and Guo Yan's northward vote certainly made Zhang Qi quite happy. This is the first time in the history of the development of the state army that a large-scale formed army has come to take refuge in itself.

However, at that time, the state was up and down, and preparations were being made to go east to Taihang and seize Jizhou. This made Zhang Qi not pay much attention to Li Dao and Guo Yan.

After meeting with the two of them in person and assuring them of the treatment and obligations of the Flying Bear Army, Zhang Arrogant settled Li Dao Guo Yan in the area of Baibo Valley to temporarily recuperate and regain his strength, and then wait for the order to be deployed.

At this time, Li Dao and Guo Yan were originally other people's subordinates, and they had never established themselves as leaders as they did in history. They have little resistance to obeying insolent orders. On the contrary, the two were in awe of the strength in the hands of the arrogant, and they also showed considerable cooperation when the state army purged the Flying Bear Army.

And the arrogance certainly wouldn't be too harsh on this newly acquired elite force to let them centrifuge. Although there was a slight friction between the two sides on some small things, the overall integration situation was quite good.

After placing Li Dao Guo Yan in Baibo Valley, next, Zhang was busy with the Jizhou strategy, and accidentally left behind the five thousand elite soldiers under the two of them. It wasn't until the news of the discovery of the plague in Jizhou came that he was arrogant and wanted to send troops to reinforce Jizhou, but he couldn't find the troops that could be used for a while, that he remembered the elite 5,000 people in the hands of Li Dao and Guo Yan under the reminder of his wife Zhao Yu.

When they received the order of Zhang Qiang, Li Dao and Guo Yan had been resting in the Baibo Valley area for more than half a year, and not only had their strength returned to their best condition, but they had also replenished many fine war horses from Bingzhou, thus improving the combat effectiveness of the whole army a lot.

Li Dao and Guo Yan, who were still thinking about it, were trying to show their strength to Zhang Qi and the generals of the Bingzhou Army, so that they could occupy their rightful position in the Bingzhou Army system. After arriving at Zhang Mad's order, the two did not hesitate, and decisively dispatched the whole army to Jizhou, and wanted to behave well in front of Zhang Madness.

Moreover, the relationship between Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao is a sworn enemy. Li Dao and Guo Yan, as Dong Zhuo's henchmen, have no hatred for Yuan Shao. Therefore, with this relationship, Zhang Arrogant asked them to fight Yuan Shao, and the two of them were extremely happy.

In this way, from the time they received the order to set off in Baibo Valley, Li Dao and Guo Yan took the five thousand elite soldiers of the Flying Bear Army to enter Jizhou in only half a month. This kind of marching speed shows the true character of a strong soldier.

At this time, it was the moment when Yuan Shao was besieging the giant deer and the giant deer was crumbling. (To be continued......)

PS: I didn't notice it yesterday, but someone voted three bad reviews for this book at once. This one...... It's a bit incomprehensible. With the degree of hitting the street in this book, there is still such treatment, which really makes the author feel ridiculous.

In other words, evaluation votes also cost money, right?
