~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

June, Liaoxi, White Wolf City.

Under the scorching sun, a group of cavalrymen with helmets and armor, swords and bows stood on the vast grassland. Even though they were sweating like pulp and their faces were as red as drunk, no one dared to raise their hands to wipe them, for their generals, who were also neatly clothed, rode on the white horses of the gods, and stood solemnly on the top of the hillside.

I don't know how long it took, but finally a faint cloud of smoke and dust appeared in the field of vision, and with the speed of movement of the smoke and dust, and the height of the dust, experienced soldiers could easily guess how many people there were.

The general on the hillside raised his hand, and the cavalry immediately dispersed, drew their bows and swords, and were on alert.

After another moment, a troop of men and horses appeared on the horizon, about a hundred horsemen, fluttering flags, but they were too far away to see the signs on them.

After a few moments, several cavalry galloped up and reported to the general on the hillside: "General, Captain Xiahou has arrived. ”

The general on the hillside nodded and said with a smile: "It's finally here." ”

As soon as he opened his mouth, he could hear that it was the White Wolf City Guard, Pingbei General Zhao Yun. He raised his hand and waved, and the cavalry gathered their bows and swords and regrouped.

Soon, the signs on the Shi flag were also clearly visible as "Captain Xiahou" and "Xiahou", clearly indicating the identity of the comer - Captain Xiahoulan.

"Zilong!"

"Zihui!"

The two comrades-in-arms and brothers, who had been separated for several years, urged the horses to gallop together, stretched out their arms after approaching, held them tightly, circled around, looked at each other and laughed, and the sound was in the sky.

After more than two years of campaigning, Xiahoulan finally completed the task of crusading against Sanhan. Returned to Liaodong to rest.

The Korean Peninsula has become a new county, Obifang County, which was incorporated into Liaodong, or the Great Han Dynasty. Of course, Samhan was not completely conquered, and there were still some rebellious tribes or exiles in the mountains and islands. This will be a long-term task, and the soldiers of the Belt Party will be responsible for clearing it, and there will be no need to use a large army to fight it.

Considering that Xia Houlan has been fighting for many years, it is inevitable that he will be tired. and the heart of the soldiers, Ma Han then transferred him to Liaodong. On the way back, Xiahoulan received a notification from the Liaodong County Government that he was about to launch an offensive against Youzhou, and ordered him to send three Han soldiers to serve.

As a result, Xiahou Lan will act as Zhao Yun's general and attack Youzhou together, and the Changshan brothers will reunite and fight side by side again.

Zhao Yun, Xia Houlan. They used to be Gongsun Zhan's white horse righteous servants, but now, they are opponents. Standing on the opposite side, it is emotional.

The two walked side by side, oblivious to the scorching sun overhead.

"How many men did you bring?"

"Three thousand. One thousand white wolf battalion soldiers, more than half of which were generals of the former Xiliang Army and Baibo Army who were lost from the Central Plains. As soon as the half-year training period expired, they caught up with this big battle. There are also 2,000, which are Samhan, Wofu, and the original Goguryeo people. The elite I picked from them. They are all old pawns who have seen blood. ”

Zhao Yun nodded: "Okay, three thousand is enough, I will levy two thousand Karasuma and Xianbei from Liucheng, Liaodong vassal states, Pinggang and other places, and make up five thousand." Anyway, most of the soldiers in Youzhou are Hu people, which is exactly what the lord said, 'kill Hu with Hu', and the more you kill, the better. ”

Xia Houlan looked at Zhao Yun's face and asked carefully, "This time, did you really move?" ”

Zhao Yun nodded silently: "The letter from the lord is clear, regardless of the pros and cons, there is a sentence that has won my heart: 'Hebei has been in turmoil for too long, and it is time to return its peace.'" ”

Xiahou Lan was stunned for a long time, and sighed: "Yes, Youzhou Ping, Hebei can be determined; Hebei Ding, Changshan can be safe. ”

Zhao Yun exhaled vigorously, with a resolute expression: "Let's do our part for the peace of the country." Those who stand in the way, even the former generals, will not show mercy. ”

At the end of June, General Pingbei, Zhao Yun, the Taishou of Liaoning, and Pei Yuanshao, the commander of Liaoxi's cavalry, in the name of recovering the counties of Liaoxi (Gongsun Zan had promised to return the four counties of Liaoxi, but there was no movement until two years later), he rode 4,000 horses, crossed the Xuanshui, and uprooted more than ten sentry posts along the coast in one day.

At the beginning of July, he crossed Lushui, and two days later, the troops came to Lulongsai. Lulongsai is one of the important border fortresses in the northeast of the Han Dynasty, and Lulongdao has always been the only way to go from Youzhou to Liaoxi and Liaodong. When the Western Han Dynasty attacked the Xiongnu in the north, it sent troops from this place many times. More than 100 years ago, this fortress was fully equipped and heavily garrisoned. However, today, this fortress has long since lost its scale, coupled with disrepair, wind and rain erosion, and the defense capability has been greatly reduced. What made the guards complain in particular was that since Zhongping, because of the prestige of Gongsun Zhan's "White Horse General", the Saiwaihu people had not dared to attack for many years, and as a result, the defense was slack, the soldiers were insufficient, and the weapons were rotten, and they could not stop the onslaught of the 4,000 army at all.

Just when the guards were in a hurry to catch fire, the heavenly rescue - Gongsun Xu, the Taishou of Youbeiping, finally arrived with 2,000 men and horses and blocked the Liaodong Army in time.

Zhao Yun, on the other hand, was not in a hurry, camped in front of the fortress, set up a fence and set up a village, and built siege equipment every day, making a strong attack.

When Gongsun Xu focused all his attention on Zhao Yun's army, he didn't know that this army was missing an important general, Xiahou Lan, and 1,000 Han soldiers.

Where are Xiahoulan and a thousand soldiers? The answer came after three days of confrontation between the two armies, like a thunderbolt from the sky -- the Liaodong Army's divine soldiers descended from the sky, suddenly appeared in the heart of the four counties in western Liaoning, to which Youzhou belonged, and raided Linyu (southwest of the current Qinhuangdao City), and fell in one fell swoop.

Then the Liaodong army killed the important town of Guzhu City in western Liaoning, once the Guzhu was lost, the Liaodong Army could attack Lingzhi to the north, Haiyang to the south, and the troops to the west could be under the Tuyin City of Beiping County. At this time, Tuyin City was taken away by Taishou Gongsun Xu, and the defenders of the city were less than 1,000 people, and they were all auxiliary pawns, which can be described as dangerous.

Due to the sudden appearance of Xiahou Lanqi's soldiers, they entered the hinterland of the four counties and broke a city in one fell swoop, causing panic. The generals who fled from Linyu also couldn't understand where the attacking enemy came from and how many soldiers and horses there were. Some say three thousand, some say five thousand, and some even say ten thousand......

Of course, Gongsun Xu would not believe that Liaodong could still send ten thousand troops to attack, but he never imagined that there were only a thousand people, and they were all foot soldiers, and he was in a state of confusion for a while. And the 2,000 soldiers he brought, and their families and assets were all in Tuyin City, and when they heard this amazing news, they were even more panicked. The morale of the army was in turmoil, and they couldn't take care of any defense. That night, deserters appeared, and the number of them increased from a dozen to dozens, and there was a tendency to intensify.

How did Xiahoulan end up here? Quite simply, from the sea.

When Zhao Yun led his army to set off from White Wolf City, Xiahou Lan was also leading 1,000 Han infantry soldiers to board a ship from Juehua Island, let the boat go south, bypassing the obstacles of the Great Wall and the Desperate Ridge Dangerous Road, and attacking from the sea.

Juehua Island is not far from Linyu. It's only about sixty or seventy nautical miles (equivalent to more than 200 miles), but it's only a two-day voyage. Before Zhao Yun crossed the Xuanshui, Xiahou Lan had already landed, and immediately led the army to Linyu City.

The Liaodong Army is very good at playing the trick of sea raids, Yuan Tan has suffered big losses, and Ma Han has frequently landed in Xuzhou from the sea, but for Gongsun Xu, there is no such concept in his mind at all. In addition, Zhao Yun led the main force to rush and attack, and put on a full posture. After absorbing enough eyeballs, Gongsun continued to kill and couldn't imagine that the real miracle soldier was from behind.

The thousand three Korean soldiers selected by Xia Houlan are all capable of running in the mountains. The elite who can drift on the sea can raid a county town with no more than a thousand guards and no defense. After capturing Linyu, Xiahou Lan left 500 soldiers to defend the city, and led 500 soldiers to drive 800 prisoners to kill Guzhu City.

was kicked heavily by Xia Houlan in the "back cheek". Where can Gongsun Xu stay in Lulongse? After confronting Zhao Yun for five days, overnight, Gongsun Xu's army was withdrawn. The consequences are. The defenders of Lulongsai also completely lost the will to resist and waved a white flag at Zhao Yun.

Sea and land go hand in hand, the right and strange are combined, and it does not cost a soldier to take the pass. The art of war has clouds, with the right fit, with the odd victory -- Zhao Yun can be said to have brought this art of war into full play.

When Gongsun Xu hurriedly retreated to the mound, Xiahou Lan also led his army back to Linyu -- the thousand foot soldiers he had in hand, who lacked siege equipment, could carry out a surprise attack, but once the darkness turned to light and the suddenness was lost, it was almost impossible to forcibly seize a fortified city garrisoned by no less than a thousand people. The purpose of Zhao Yun and Xiahou Lan was to transfer Gongsun Xu back, so that Lu Longsai would not be able to attack himself. The real defeat of Lonely Bamboo City will have to wait until after Zhao Yun and Xiahou Lan join forces.

In mid-July, the two armies met under the city of Guzhu, and morale was high, while the defenders were panicked and demoralized.

Zhao Yun first took out the agreement signed by Gongsun Zhan that year, read it to the city, and then supplemented it with military might. Under the strong pressure of morality and strength, the defenders of Guzhu City resisted for several days before the city broke and surrendered.

After that, Zhao Yun took Guzhu City as the base camp, Xiahou Lan led a thousand troops to defend the city, and Pei Yuanshao led 2,000 soldiers and horses (including Lu Longsai's army) to set up camp at the intersection of Lushui and Lishui, and Guzhu City was a horn for each other. And Zhao Yun led 3,000 steps to ride, attacked Haiyang in the south, broke the order branch in the north, and in just a few days, he connected the two cities. As soon as the Lingzhi was broken, Feiru County in the northeast of it was cut off from retreating, and if it did not retreat in time, it would only be trapped and killed.

Originally, the fat Rushou general planned to defend the city and wait for reinforcements, but at this moment, there was the shocking news that Yuan Shao waved 50,000 troops and invaded on a large scale.

The general Yuan Shao personally led the army, mobilized 50,000 Jizhou elites, and sent troops to help from Daijun and Yuyang's Xian Yufu, Xian Yuyin, and Qi Zhou. Almost everyone has a bad premonition that the sky in this Youzhou is about to change.

Even the old nest Yi Kyoto is surrounded, and you still count on reinforcements? The fat general immediately abandoned the city and led the army to flee overnight, but the fat was self-defeating.

At the end of July, Zhao Yun completed the task of seizing the four counties of western Liaoning, and he did not divide his troops to guard everywhere, but concentrated all his forces and surrounded the mound.

Zhao Yun knew very well that if Gongsun Zhan was finished this time, the counties of western Liaoning would be subdued; If Gongsun Chan survives, then even if troops are sent to garrison, sooner or later they will be recaptured. Since this is the case, simply ignore it, and go all out to annihilate the living force of the Youzhou army - that is, the Gongsun Xu of the right Beiping County.

At this time, Gongsun continued to sit and lie restless, Yi Jing was in danger, as the eldest son, he had to do his best to lead reinforcements back to rescue, and what was the matter with the Liaodong army under this tuan city? But once he leads the army away, the fall of the city is a sure thing, and he can't afford to lose the land.

Is there a way to do both?

Just as Gongsun Xu was in a hurry, a figure suddenly jumped into his mind, and Gongsun Xu slapped his thigh: "That's right! How did I forget him? (To be continued......)
