Chapter 160: The River Country
Gongsun Zhan's White Horse Yicong is a light cavalry that has been honed for a long time and has formed its own fighting style and pattern, which can make the nomadic aliens who are good at riding and archery tremble, which is enough to show that this light cavalry is brave and good at fighting.
And being able to form such a strong combat effectiveness is definitely not only due to physical strength and force, otherwise those alien cavalry will not be inferior in this regard. In Ji Ping's view, the reason why Baima Yicong can be invincible is because it has a military soul, and this core is Gongsun Zhan.
So in history, after Gongsun Chan was defeated by Yuan Shao, Baima Yicong disappeared, not without warriors, but without souls.
In the Gongsun Chan army, who can replace Gongsun Chan to become the soul of the White Horse Yicong, in Ji Ping's opinion, the current White Horse Yicong is not good at Yan Gang, only Zhao Yun is possible, because the kind of courage in Zhao Yun's bones is stronger than Gongsun Zhan.
Gongsun Chan is rigid and easy to break, easy to fold and easy to frustrate, and is brave in one go, while Zhao Yun's courage is more resilient and indomitable.
Ji Ping would not be stupid enough to stop the battle between Gongsun Zhan and Yuan Shao, but he wanted to keep this white horse rebellion for future interracial battles, and this key figure was naturally Zhao Yun.
Ji Ping naturally would not use or calculate Zhao Yun, but let Zhao Yun do what he wanted to do, pursue what he wanted to pursue, and in the absence of Liu Bei, he believed that Zhao Yun would sooner or later return to his camp after being confused for the first time.
This is a silent influence, without any strategy, and with the trend.
This is not a conspiracy, nor is it a conspiracy, but Yuan Shao's conspiracy against Gongsun Chan was launched.
In Gongsun Zhan, Chen Bing, Handan. After confronting Yuan Shao for half a month, Yuan Shao sent an envoy. It means that in the name of the general of the chariot and cavalry, it is on the imperial court. Gongsun Zhan's younger brother Sun Fan was appointed as the Bohai Taishou, and sent the seal of the Bohai Taishou, and at the same time, in order to show his sincerity, Yuan Shao declared that all the soldiers and horses of Bohai would be withdrawn.
As soon as Yuan Shao's move came out, Gongsun Zhan immediately fell into a passive situation.
Although Handan and Yecheng are not far away, there are two rivers in between, and although Gongsun Zhan is proud of his strong soldiers, he is not arrogant enough to destroy Yuan Shao in one fell swoop. After Yuan Shao withdrew from Bohai County, Bohai County was completely empty. Exposed in front of the 300,000 Qingxu Yellow Turbans, once Bohai County is occupied by the Yellow Turbans, the north is Jixian County and Youbeiping in Youzhou, that is, Gongsun Zhan's lair, he can't sit idly by.
Therefore, Gongsun Zhan hesitated for a while, whether to continue to go south to Yecheng, or to move troops to Bohai?
If he continued to attack Yecheng, it was difficult to guarantee that Yuan Shao would not secretly indulge Qingxu and Yellow Turbans into Bohai County. Threaten his Youzhou rear.
If he moves to Bohai County, he is not so arrogant, and he will inevitably fall into a bitter battle with the 300,000 Qingxu Yellow Turbans, and Yuan Shao will take the opportunity to gain a firm foothold in Yecheng. Even if he can control Julu and Anping counties, even if he defeats the Yellow Turban, it will be difficult to fight Yuan Shao again.
To move or not to move? This is Yuan Shao's yang scheme. Even if Gongsun Chan knew, he was helpless.
Just when Gongsun Chan was making a move. Youzhou Mu Liu Yu came to envoy and ordered Gongsun Zan to move troops to Bohai County. Defend against the green and yellow scarves. This order became a straw in the tilt of the scales, although Gongsun Chan was dissatisfied with many of Liu Yu's policies, but after all, he was Liu Yu's subordinate, and it was difficult to refute Liu Yu's order at present.
So, Gongsun Zhan took more than 20,000 steps to ride out the camp and went straight east to Bohai County, but he didn't let Yuan Shao so easy, although he left Julu County, but let Zhang Yan of Montenegro attack from Taihang Mountain and attack Yuan Shao.
Zhang Yan was also not ambiguous, and sent Moshan, Yu Poison, Bai Huan, Zheng Gu, Du Chang, Tao Sheng and other generals of the Montenegrin Army to lead more than 100,000 people to attack Yuan Shao from all directions.
Gongsun Chan thought he had a plan, and led his troops straight to the Bohai Sea with peace of mind.
Ji Ping knew that this was also in Yuan Shao's calculations, Yuan Shao was stationed in Yecheng, and it was inevitable to pacify Montenegro, if the Montenegrin army was still entrenched in Taihang Mountain, it would be difficult for Yuan Shao to attack, but now under the impetus of Gongsun Zhan, the Montenegrin army killed Taihang Mountain and attacked the town, but it was in Yuan Shao's arms.
Although he knew, his current identity could not be said to Gongsun Zhan, and it was even useless to say it, Yuan Shao used Bohai County to mobilize Gongsun Zhan's army, which was a certain outcome, that is, Ji Ping was in Gongsun Zhan's position, and he also moved troops to Bohai.
That's the power of the conspiracy, you know, but you still have to get in.
……
When Ji Ping and Zhao Yun followed Gongsun Zan eastward, Dian Wei and Fu Zhu went through several twists and turns and rushed all the way to Shangdang.
After Dian Wei killed out of Yecheng that day, he protected Fu Zhu, and with the cooperation of the Shadow Division, he secretly made a detour to Julu and Guangping to pick up Fu Zhu and Tian Feng's families, and went straight to the party.
Fukou in the west of Handan is one of the main routes for the Montenegrin army to send troops, so naturally they can't go, so Dian Wei and Fu Zhu and their entourage went south, passed through Wei County, and went to Hanoi.
Although he avoided the main force of Yuan Shao and the Montenegrin army along the way, he still encountered many small groups of Montenegrin troops, but under Dian Wei's bravery and frustration strategy, they were broken one by one.
However, when the group was about to leave Wei County, they encountered a team of 1,000 people, and the leader was Yuan Shao's right-hand man, Wen Chou.
As soon as he saw Wen Chou, Dian Wei's heart sank, he had fought side by side with Wen Chou in Luoyang, and naturally knew that Wen Chou was powerful, although he was worse than himself, but now there were only three hundred Tiger Battalion soldiers around him, and the most important thing was that there were also families of Fu Zhu, Tian Feng and others.
Dian Wei was shocked, but he didn't know that Wen Chou was more shocked than him.
Wen Chou naturally knew Dian Wei, and he knew that Dian Wei was a subordinate of King Shenwu, looking at Dian Wei and the frustration not far behind him, Wen Chou's eyes showed a look of shock.
He understood in an instant that there was a black hand behind the fight for Jizhou, King Shenwu.
Yuan Shao always thought that King Shenwu was trapped in Hedong and it was difficult to develop, and he never thought that Shangdang Xunyou would be King Shenwu's subordinate, and his grain in Jizhou was actually borrowed by King Shenwu.
Wen Chou looked at Dian Wei with a complicated expression, and he couldn't help but think of the young Shenwu King who was broken by Luoyang, and thought of his younger brother Wen Qing who was released back.
"Kill!" Dian Wei was now in Jizhou, and he was afraid that Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses would come around, so he immediately made a decision, leaving one hundred Tiger Battalion guards and his relatives, he raised his halberd, and rushed towards Wen Chou with two hundred Tiger Battalion soldiers.
Dian Wei has never been afraid of death, and he has never been afraid of war.
Tiger Battalion, too.
Wen Chou looked at Dian Wei who rushed over, and slowly raised the spear in his hand.
……
Ji Ping followed Gongsun Zhan's army all the way east, and there were a few more people around him, Shi A and the three shadows who were in charge of the Shadow Division, which was why he heard that Ji Ping was actually involved in the battle of Jizhou again, worried about his safety, and urgently ordered Shi A to rush over to protect him.
When Gongsun Zhan's army passed through Anping County, it joined up with Yan Gang's Baima Yicong, and then Gongsun Zhan took Baima Yicong and 12,000 cavalry to speed up the march and went straight to Bohai County, leaving 10,000 foot soldiers to follow.
By the time Ji Ping arrived in Hejian Kingdom, the Gongsun Zhan cavalry in front had already entered Bohai County, stabilized the counties, and arranged a defensive line.
Immediately, Gongsun Zan ordered his son Gongsun Yue to be the governor of the capital, supervising Ji Ping and Zhao Yun and the county soldiers attached to several counties along the way, and continued to recruit troops in each county.
So in the area of Lecheng County, Hejian, Ji Ping and Zhao Yun went separately to recruit troops in various parts of Hejian, because in the eyes of Gongsun Yue, they were all natives of Jizhou, and it was easier to recruit soldiers.
Ji Ping, Shi A, and Zhang He traveled all the way, and the counties and townships they passed through, they could see barren fields and empty houses, ruined wells, and countless people died tragically due to famine and military rebellion, which made Ji Ping can't help but be gloomy.
His achievements in Hedong County also seemed insignificant at this moment.
The world is too big, and he still has too long to go to change this qiē.
Passing by a township, more than 800 of them were resting and cooking in the field, and Ji Ping and Shi A were sitting under a tree.
Zhang He, who was twenty-three years old, settled the soldiers, and then came to Ji Ping's side and saluted: "Son." ”
Ji Ping smiled, pulled Zhang He to sit down, and said, "Junyi, when the army is out, there is no need to be so polite, we are still fellow villagers." ”
"Countryman?" Zhang He was stunned, although he knew the identity of Ji Ping Shenwu King, but he didn't know the identity of Ji Ping's Son of Heaven.
Ji Ping looked at the broken wall of loess not far away, and said abruptly: "Yes, my father is also from Hejian." ”
Zhang He was taken aback, and hurriedly whispered: "It turns out that the lord is the king of Hejian." Ji Ping is a prince, and at this time he said that he was born in Hejian, and the first thing that came to Zhang He's mind was naturally the current Hejian King Liu Ye.
Ji Ping shook his head and said, "I was born in Luoyang, but my father was once the Pavilion Marquis of Hejian. ”
He didn't meet his father in his previous life, but his father in this life, Emperor Ling Hong, although he was the Son of Heaven, was the great-grandson of Liu Kai, the filial piety king of Hejian. More than 20 years ago, the former Emperor Huan had no words, and Dou Wu, the general who controlled the government, transferred the eleven-year-old Liu Hong, the marquis of the Jiedu Pavilion, from the river to Luoyang, and ascended the throne as the Son of Heaven.
It's a pity that after Ji Ping came to this era, the first thing he saw was the death of his cheap father Emperor Ling.
Zhang He, who was on the side, was a little confused when he heard what Ji Ping said, but he didn't dare to ask more.
After resting for half an hour, Ji Ping and Zhang He continued to set off with the soldiers, they were recruiting soldiers for three days this time, and they would return to Lecheng County to join Gongsun Yue after three days.
However, when the people along the way saw them, they all hid, obviously very afraid of them, after all, Gongsun Zhan's iron cavalry had just crossed the border, and judging from the situation along the way, Gongsun Zhan's army discipline did not seem to be good, and there were many cases of disturbing the people.
Not only did Ji Ping find out about this, but Zhao Yun also found out, and Ji Ping also noticed that Zhao Yun seemed to be a little disappointed in Gongsun Zhan.
The former Gongsun Chan was brave and loyal, righteous and chivalrous, and when he was a teenager, he was able to leave his hometown to escort the benefactor who was sent to Jiaozhou, but after experiencing a series of killings, although it caused a great shock to the aliens, but the perennial fighting made his character become cruel, and the army sometimes robbed the people, and Gongsun Chan also turned a blind eye.
Ji Ping suddenly understood why Zhao Yun in history only stayed under Gongsun Chan for less than two years, I am afraid that he was disappointed in Gongsun Zhan, Zhao Yun wanted to follow the lord who had political opinions, and Gongsun Chan did not have this. (To be continued......)
