Not far to the north of Xiaquyang, is Zhongshan Kingdom. Although Zhongshan is a county belonging to Jizhou, it fell to Youzhou when Gongsun Zan invaded in the past, and is now taken over by Youzhou Mu Liu Yu.

Liu Yu, the governor of Youzhou, has recently greatly improved his attitude towards Yuan Shao's forces because Yuan Shao is planning to elect him as the Son of Heaven. Fu Zhu believed that as long as he entered the territory of Youzhou forces, he would be able to join forces with the officials of Youzhou County and fight back against the pursuing troops of the state army. In contrast, the retreat to the east, although there is a Koji headquarters that can be answered, is still far more risky than retreating to the north.

It's a pity that Yan Liang and Wen Chou, two reckless men, ruined the whole plan!

Originally, when he found that the army led by Yan Liang and Wen Chou had been cut off by the Bingzhou army, if he could decisively abandon the city and flee, Guo Wei's cavalry would not be able to catch him.

It's just that Fu Zhu thought that Yan Liang and Wen Chou hadn't broken through yet, so he had to wait patiently for a while. In any case, he never imagined that the two "10,000 enemies" who were the strongest in Hebei would be killed in the first battle.

After Fu Zhu found out that Yan Liang and Wen Chou's troops had been wiped out when they attacked the camp of the state army, it was a little too late for him to escape. Even if he allowed the main force in the city to flee eastward as a decoy to confuse the Bingzhou army, he fled to the north with a small number of elite cavalry, but in the end he still could not escape the pursuit of the Bingzhou cavalry.

Facing Guan Yu, Fu Zhi looked extremely tough. Because after being captured, Fu Zhi didn't think about surviving.

As a representative figure of the powerful clan in Jizhou, Fu Zhi's background and position determined that he could not rely on the insolence of the state with the poor and the poor as the main supporters. As one of the characters who was focused on by Yuan Shao, what Zhang Qiang did in Bingzhou, the heroes of Jizhou would never know.

Zhang was born in Taiping Dao, and he was originally a remnant of the Yellow Turban. Such an identity. It was decided that there were few disciplined scholars who would look up to him. Therefore, almost none of the famous families in the entire state are willing to take refuge in arrogance. Losing the support of famous scholars, Zhang Qiang naturally added a lot of trouble out of thin air when consolidating his territory.

And the state wants to use this uncooperative way. Let the arrogant forces unable to develop and grow, and they can't stand on the fertile soil of the state, and finally honestly go to the promising profession of bandits. And the reaction of the arrogance to this is:

-- Wooing the poor from the poor, recruiting the poor at the bottom, and cultivating grassroots talents on their own.

Bingzhou Haoqiang is unwilling to take refuge in Zhangqiang, and Zhangqiang has no intention of counting on Bingzhou Haoqiang for his own use. On the contrary, in order to gain the support and effectiveness of the poor and poor scholars, and to obtain enough resources and land from the people, Zhang Qiang carried out a strong suppression of the family in Bingzhou.

All showed dissatisfaction. If they do not escape from the territory of the Bingzhou army in time, they will be unceremoniously hunted down by their arrogant minions. For those families who dare to gather the strength of the whole clan and raise an army to resist, the arrogant methods are even tougher.

He would not kill those low-level tenants, disciples and guests who were attached to Haoqiang, but for the children of big clans with a little status, arrogance was wrongly killed, and it was not wrong to let it go. Once upon a time. Zhang Qiang captured more than 200 people from Haoqiang's direct line and his branch and publicly executed them by the river next to Jinyang. and threw the bodies of the beheaded Haoqiang family directly into the river and fed the fish directly.

After a series of purges and massacres, at least half of the clans in today's Bingzhou have disappeared from the land of Bingzhou. The remaining heroes are all relatively honest acquaintances who have obeyed the laws promulgated by the arrogant. For these acquaintances of the Haoqiangshi people. Zhang Qi did not continue the high-pressure policy, but successively recruited some talented and famous scholars.

As for the "rebellious" Shi A, who is specifically responsible for dealing with these bloody things, he has become a butcher-level figure who can stop children crying in the legend of the powerful clan in Bingzhou.

So, for the insolence, the remnant of the Yellow Turban who takes pleasure in slaughtering soldiers. There is only one sentence that can be said from the frustration, and that is:

- The Tao is different, do not conspire with each other!

The resentment of frustration was immediately clearly realized by Guan Yu. Guan Yu's temperament originally disliked those noble-born scholars. The frustrated and uncooperative attitude made Guan Yu feel ignored during the interrogation. If it weren't for the arrogant attention of the lord to this wing, with Guan Yu's temperament, he would have beheaded this wingman with a knife.

However, in the next few days, Zhang Qi had no possibility of receiving Fu Zhi. Not to mention anything else, after occupying Xiaquyang, the next development strategy of the Bingzhou Army is enough to be arrogant and headaches!

The insolent coma lasted only one day and one night. On the second day, after Zhang Qi woke up, his body was still weak and he couldn't use his true qi, but he slowly opened his mouth to speak and think, but there were not many problems.

In fact, no matter how weak Zhang Mad's body is, as long as he can clearly give orders to his subordinates, the control of the entire army can still be firmly grasped by Zhang Madness. This can be seen from the fact that at the first meeting of more than 1,000 military commanders convened after he woke up, no one was absent.

The military power in his hands made Zhang Qi and all his loyal subordinates breathe a sigh of relief. Moreover, Zhang Mad's practice of saving Dian Wei's life regardless of the danger has undoubtedly greatly improved the loyalty of his subordinate generals again, and also made the prestige of Zhang Qiang's "Heavenly Master" more and more high.

Of course, Zhang Qi can't get up now, so he can only be reluctantly helped by Ah is to sit on the edge of the bed to meet his subordinates. However, after a detailed diagnosis of insolence, Master Tai has already expressed his attitude to the others. He assured that his condition would get better day by day, and in five or six days at most, he would be able to get out of bed and walk. In another half a month, in addition to not being able to use true qi, arrogance will be no different from ordinary people.

It's just that if you want to fully recover from the backlash of the Dao Fa, you must honestly recuperate for more than three months.

In fact, in addition to affecting the morale of the army, the insolent illness did not play a very big role in the overall situation of the entire Jizhou war. The three-way offensive of the state army was planned before the war. Once the war starts, the generals and colonels who march from all walks of life can only rely on their own abilities to carry out the tasks that have been assigned. Even if Zhang Qiang's body is intact, with the current means of transportation and communication, it is difficult to effectively mobilize those subordinates who have already entered the battlefield.

Fortunately, most of the Changshan Kingdom, Zhao Kingdom, Wei County, and Julu County in Jizhou have fallen into the hands of the Bingzhou Army, and most of the plans for this battle have been achieved. The news reached the arrogant couch, which made him feel quite calm.

In the pre-war plan, if all goes well, Zhang Qiang also planned to attack Anping Kingdom to the east. However, in the first battle of Xiaquyang, although the casualties of the main force of the Bingzhou Army were not too large, they also needed to rest for a few days before they could continue to operate.

With a buffer time of a few days, as long as the ability of Yuan Shaojun's generals is above the level line, he will inevitably do a good job of arming in time. And Zhang Qi is in other counties and counties in Jizhou, and there is no such internal response as Dong Zhao. After losing the suddenness, it is completely impossible for the state army to continue to advance as before.

Therefore, insolence half-lying on the bed can only set the tone for the next military operation. As for how the generals from all walks of life will act under this tone, it is not something that Zhang Qi can specifically command now.

The tone set by the insolence is:

- Consolidating the acquired territory.

You must know that Yuan Shaojun's strength is strong. Although Yan Liang and Wen Chou were lost, the main force of Yuan Shaojun was still intact. With most of the previous half a month, Yuan Shao must have come to his senses, and he should transfer troops and send generals, and be ready to deal with the state army, and will not leave any more opportunities for insolence.

Although Zhang Shao is not inferior to Yuan Shao in terms of total troops, after all, he is a foreign "invader" who is not welcomed by Jizhou. Even if he has the official position of "Jizhou Assassin History" awarded by the Son of Heaven in Chang'an, the big and small heroes of Jizhou will not change their hostility to insolence because of this.

After conquering several large counties in one fell swoop, the state army has lost its sharpness. For Zhang Mao, the state army is now in a situation where it is not aggressive enough and has more than enough defense. Rather than launching a new offensive against Yuan Shao at an extremely risky pace, it is better to take the opportunity to consolidate and strengthen the rule over the newly occupied territory, and by the way, collect more grain, grass and resources for the next expansion of the army.

Of course, when the Bingzhou army consolidated its territory, it did not mean that it had to break away from the battle with Yuan Shao's army. Throughout February and March, the two major forces, Zhang and Yuan Shao, faced off with large armies and skirmishes near the border, which were going on. One of the fiercest battles took place between the two generals, Yu Ban and Lu Yi.

Wuxian is located in the easternmost part of Julu, although the terrain is flat and there is no danger, it has a special strategic position in the current war situation. As long as the troops are here, Yu Ban can threaten the Koji of Raoyang City and make its grain uneasy; You can choose the opportunity to attack the capital of Anping Kingdom-Xindu City.

Therefore, Yuan Shao's side also wanted to control this important strategic place at the first time. If it weren't for the fact that when Yu Ban set out from the city of Xiaquyang, he deliberately let Zhao Yun's cavalry team take the first step, and most of the county seat of Wuxian County would have fallen into the hands of the vanguard sent by Luyi. You must know that even if Zhao Yun hurried and hurried, he was only half a day earlier than Lu Yi's vanguard army.

Yu Ban's army had just arrived at the city of Wuxian, and the main force of Lu Yi had just arrived. Both sides had an unstable foothold, but neither had the intention of giving in to each other, so they took advantage of their unlost spirit and decisively led their troops to fight.

In this way, a bitter battle that was not too large, but no less tragic than the Raoyang War, was between the two masters of dominance, Ban and Lu Yi.

Since there is no detailed description of the battle, the specific process of this battle is not known. However, in the face of the casualty figures listed in the military newspaper, even the insolence of a hundred battles was a little moved. (To be continued......)
