In November of the second year of the first peace, the land of Jizhou, Yanzhou, and Qingzhou was raging with war and smoke.

And Jizhou, which was the center of the battlefield, was as quiet as backwater for a while.

On the one hand, after the defeat of the 100,000 Black Mountain Army of Yu Poison and other troops who originally vigorously attacked Yuan Shao in Yecheng, they moved to Yanzhou Dongjun and fought fiercely with Cao Cao, Bao Xin and Liu Bei.

On the other hand, after Yu Poison entered Dongjun, Yuan Shao of Jizhou successively defeated several other Montenegrin armies such as Liu Shi, Qingniujiao, and Huanglong. Because at this time, Xun You had already recruited Zhang Yan of Montenegro.

Yuan Shao naturally didn't know about this, the sudden cessation of the Taihang Black Mountain Army made him a little suspicious, the well path of Changshan Country was far away in Changshan Country in the north of Jizhou, and he couldn't take care of it for the time being, so he ordered Yan Liang to lead his troops and horses to guard Handan and defend the Black Mountain Army from Fukou again.

At this point, Yuan Shao has really relieved himself since he became the ruler of Jizhou, on the one hand, he has firmly occupied several Jizhou counties and counties, and on the other hand, he has put his energy on the land of Yanzhou.

Yuan Shao, in the name of the general of the chariot cavalry, recommended Cao Cao, who was fighting hard in Dongjun with the Black Mountain Yu Poison, Bai Huan, Zhenggu and other departments as the Taishou of the East County of Yanzhou, which was regarded as a complete pull of the little Cao Cao into his chariot, and also helped Cao Cao, but the Black Mountain Qu Shuai was strict in discipline and brave in battle, and dealt with Cao Cao's more than 10,000 horses with an army of 100,000 troops.

And Yuan Shu, who was far away in Nanyang, was not willing to be lonely, and when he saw his brother Yuan Shao based in Jizhou, his eyes were red with jealousy. It was beyond the reach of the whip to attack Yuan Shao across Luoyang, so he put the battlefield of the two brothers in Yanzhou. Targeted Yuan Shao's ally and Xiao Cao Cao.

Yuan Shu hated that most of the scholars under the Yuan clan in Huainan were attached to his brother Yuan Shao, not himself. On the one hand, he wrote a letter to Gongsun Zhan, rumoring that Yuan Shao was not the son of the Yuan family, in other words, a wild seed, to attack Yuan Shao in name and prestige, and on the other hand, he united with Jinshang, the assassin of Yanzhou, appointed by the Guanzhong court, and prepared to attack Yanzhou with an army to deal with Cao Cao and Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou who went to Yuan Shao in person.

Yanzhou has become the center of the most chaos, and the shape of Qingzhou has also undergone earth-shaking changes. 300,000 Qingxu yellow turbans are like locusts transiting, coupled with natural disasters, destroying the land of Qingzhou over and over again, officials died, people did not dare to farm, or joined the yellow scarves, or fled everywhere, leading the land to be barren and green and yellow. Now that it is almost winter, the hungry and frozen Qingzhou Yellow Turbans have gone to attack Taishan County in order to plunder grain. The other part was preparing to attack Bohai County in the north.

But then the part of the Yellow Turban Army that attacked Taishan County lost the battlefield and was defeated by Taishan Taishou Yingshao City, and also turned north, so far the 300,000 Yellow Turban Army was in lockstep. All of them turned their targets to Bohai County in the north.

Although Gongsun Zhan was famous, he couldn't intimidate the 300,000 Yellow Turban Army who were hungry and cold.

November is already bitterly cold, although there has been no snow. But the surging Yellow River froze at the beginning of the month, and now it is three feet freezing. It just provided convenience for the 300,000 Yellow Turban Army to cross north.

Qingzhou Yellow Turban went north, and Gongsun Zhan received the news. Not willing to be passive, he personally led the White Horse Yicong and 25,000 Youzhou elite foot cavalry, from Nanpi County, the county of Bohai County, to the south, into Dongguang County, ready to fight with 300,000 Qingzhou Yellow Turbans here.

At this time, on the road to the south of Gaocheng County, Bohai County, a group of about 2,000 soldiers and horses marched all the way to the south, and several banners with the word "Chang" flew in the army, which was Ji Ping, Zhang He, and Li Ru under the pseudonym "Chang Sheng".

Just three days ago, Jihou Gongsun Zan sent a new Gaocheng County Order, replacing Ji Ping's position, and at the same time appointing Ji Ping as the military Sima, continuing to be controlled by Tian Kai, the Qingzhou Thorn History, and Tian Kai's headquarters soldiers and horses, as well as the original Changshan County Xiahou Lan Division, organized into the East Route Army, divided into three routes to the south, swept away the Qingzhou Yellow Turban outside the Dongguang battlefield, and chose the right time to outflank the west, attack the Qingzhou Yellow Turban from the flank, and assist the main battlefield of Dongguang.

This is Gongsun Zhan's marching and battle plan, simple and direct, this is the style formed by Gongsun Chan's battle with foreign races in Youzhou, there are not many strategies, it is a direct hard-to-hard decisive battle.

Ji Ping didn't have any opinion on this, even if he had an opinion, Gongsun Chan wouldn't pay attention to him.

On the other hand, the same is true for the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans, who were born as farmers and use fewer strategies, although they are now all organized, but the combat style is still dominated by a swarm of bees.

Both sides did not avoid each other, nor were they afraid, it was the main force to fight, simple and direct.

Ji Ping, Zhang He, and Li Ru marched all the way, and during this time, Gongsun Zhan had basically cleared the rogue forces in Bohai County, and he was peaceful along the way.

Two days later, Ji Ping joined Tian Kai and Xiahou Lan's men and horses, with a total of about 8,000 people, including 1,000 cavalry in Tian Kai's hands and the remaining 7,000 foot soldiers, and camped in Tongxiang, nearly 100 miles east of Dongguang, relying on a river.

After Ji Ping met Tian Kai, he talked to Xiahou Lan again, and secretly reached an intention to watch each other, so he returned to the barracks, ready to fight at any time.

Now it is the time when the storm is coming, and news comes from the front line that 300,000 Qingzhou yellow turbans are approaching Dongguang, and a big war is about to break out.

Ji Ping has no interest in the frontal battlefield of Dongguang, if nothing else, this battle is Gongsun Zhan's benefit, not only Ji Ping's familiarity with history, but also the analysis of Li Ru, a strategist of the time.

The Qingzhou Yellow Turbans can win against other forces in numbers, but not against the cavalry of Shanggong Sun Zhan, especially the cooperation of heavy cavalry and light cavalry, Qingzhou Yellow Turbans have no experience in fighting cavalry at all, and it is difficult to win.

This is the mutual restraint of the troops, even if the Yellow Turban Army is fanatical and not afraid of death, as long as Gongsun Chan gallops back and forth with heavy cavalry to cut, and the light cavalry shoots arrows repeatedly like kites on the periphery, the Yellow Turban Army will collapse sooner or later.

Ji Ping didn't think about how to get involved in the Dongguang battlefield, hundreds of thousands of horses and horses fought, his two thousand people couldn't even afford to fight, and even the follow-up decisive battle between Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao, he didn't think about participating for the time being.

He stayed in Gongsun Zhan's army for so long, and his goal was always to lay out in Youzhou and Qingzhou, Youzhou failed because Liu Yu was close to the Son of Heaven in Guanzhong, and now Ji Ping's main target is Qingzhou.

Because Qingzhou's situation in the future is very special, it is not only a place where princes compete, but also a place that is relatively neglected.

Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Shu Alliance and Yuan Shao, Cao Cao Alliance, the future combat center is mainly Yanzhou and Jizhou, Qingzhou is considered a peripheral battlefield, although the two alliances participated in the game, respectively appointed Tian Kai and Zang Hong as Qingzhou Assassin History, but in fact, for a long time it was beyond the reach of the whip.

And even if Gongsun Chan defeats 300,000 Yellow Turbans this time, it is only a defeat, and it is impossible to completely annihilate the Yellow Turbans, the Yellow Turban Army will return to Qingzhou sooner or later, and in the future Qingzhou, the Yellow Turban Army will still be the mainstream, and it will be difficult for the other two alliances to control it deeply.

This is the opportunity, Ji Ping is to quietly develop a force in this chaotic and relatively stable environment.

Gongsun Zhan's Youzhou descendants will inevitably be placed in Jizhou to compete with Yuan Shao in the future, and most of them, the soldiers and horses who have taken refuge in Jizhou, will be put into Qingzhou and develop freely.

This is Ji Ping's judgment from common sense and Gongsun Zhan's character, even if the judgment is wrong, Ji Ping is not worried, he still has someone by Gongsun Zhan's side, that is, Lu Zhi's eldest son Lu Mao.

Ji Ping pondered, if he could bring Lu Mao to Qingzhou, with Gongsun Zhan's respect and attention to Lu Mao, if Lu Mao was sent to Qingzhou, at least he would be the guardian of a county or the appearance of a kingdom, and then Ji Ping would be able to better develop his hands and feet.
