Chapter 171 Don't wait for the autumn to settle accounts

When Yuan Shao sent troops from Yecheng, he dispatched a total of 50,000 soldiers and horses, which was the same as the strength of Gongsun Zan when he besieged Jicheng.

When Gongsun Chan set out from Nanpi, he took 30,000 elites with him, and when he withdrew from Guangyang to Nanpi, he brought back 33,000 people. Although 18,000 of them are recruits who have contributed alone, at least it makes Gongsun Zhan's face look much better.

Yuan Shao didn't have as much face as Gongsun Zhan, and when he returned to Yecheng, he had 20,000 troops left, which could be described as a great loss of vitality and a great loss of face.

Although they were both defeated and retreated, Gongsun Zhan's retreat was good or not, and the great Confucian Lu Zhi of the time came forward to mediate, which could be used to cover people's eyes, but Yuan Shao's futile return made the warlords everywhere greatly surprised when they heard about it.

There are so many strategists and generals under Yuan Shao, and they use 50,000 people to deal with Han Fu, who has only 20,000 troops left, but the result is that the soldiers are so lost, which makes everyone eager to know how Han Fu, the "immortal little strong", calculated Yuan Shao and "pitted" Yuan Shao so badly.

Soon, people with a heart counted the results of the four-way melee that happened in Jizhou and Youzhou, and then people discovered a terrible fact.

The attacking side Gongsun Chan had 50,000 troops before the war, and 33,000 were left after the war, of which Zou Dan was killed in battle, Gongsun Yue was captured alive, the pioneers Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were injured in front of the battle, and Gongsun Chan lost 15,000 elite troops and 10,000 horses. Among them, the most elite Bai Ma Yi was never defeated by Li Yan's "Turtle Array Chariot", with more than 1,000 casualties.

The defender Liu Yu had 18,000 troops available before the war, and after the battle with Gongsun Zhan, 5,500 were killed and wounded, of which 2,500 were killed in battle, and 2,000 of the more than 3,000 wounded soldiers were finally healed and returned to the battlefield. If you count the 3,000 people that Xu Miao converted from Gongsun Zhan's army, then Liu Yu's troops not only did not decrease after the battle reached the peak, but also more than 500 people.

On Liu Yu's side, who participated in the defensive battle, all the generals who appeared were young people no more than thirty years old, with an average age of only twenty-three years old, none of them were captured or killed, and only Sun Li was slightly injured while defending the city.

The attacker Yuan Shao had 50,000 troops before the war, and only 21,000 after the war, among which the general Wen Chou was captured, the general Jiang Qi was killed in battle, Guo Yuan was injured, and Yuan Shao lost 15,000 elite troops and 1,000 horses. Among them, there was a fierce battle between the first dead soldiers under the command of Koji Yi and the halberd soldiers under the command of Zhang He, and more than half of the casualties were killed.

The defender Han Fu had 20,000 troops before the war, and only 8,000 remained after the death battle with Yuan Shao, of which more than 7,000 were killed and wounded, and more than 4,000 were captured. Han Fu's subordinate Geng Wu was killed in Qianqiu Pavilion, and Li Li was shot and killed by a stray arrow while assisting Zhang He to return to Gaoyi. It is worth mentioning that Han Fu's general Zhang He commanded 10,000 troops, and there were 6,000 after the war, which can be regarded as preserving an elite army for Han Fu that became more and more brave in the war.

Assisting the war Fang Xianyu assisted in commanding 6,000 troops to the south, first had a fierce battle with the Wenchou Department at 30 miles south of Yuanshi City, losing nearly 2,000 soldiers and horses, killing more than 3,000 enemies, and capturing more than 5,000 prisoners alive, and then raiding 5,000 Jiang Qi's troops at Jishui, capturing Jiang Qi's 5,000 infantry alive at a small cost.

After the war, Xu Miao, the "captain of the propaganda team", immediately sent the backbone propaganda backbone to go deep into Yuan Shao's 10,000 soldiers to carry out the work of converting prisoners, and initially circled 5,000 activists. Xian Yufu then handed over the remaining 5,000 or so captives with unknown attitudes to Han Fu, and asked him to exchange these captives for his own captured soldiers who were captured by Yuan Shao and returned to Yecheng.

If you count the 3,000 good soldiers recruited by Xu Miao in Zhending and the 5,000 Yuan Shao's troops who are about to be transformed, then Xian Yufu's current team is 12,000 people, which is twice as many as when he went south to Jizhou!

Zhang Yan of Montenegro, who helped in the war, lost nearly 20,000 troops, but seized Yuan Shao's grain and grass depot and armory, which seemed to be damaged in strength, but in fact streamlined the troops and strengthened the strength.

People were surprised to find that Liu Yu's father and son, who had been hiding in Jicheng since the start of the war, were the out-and-out winners. In the extremely unfavorable situation, they not only kept the original territory, but also held the territory for their ally Han Fu, and what was even more excessive was that there were 10,000 more troops after the war!

The victory of Liu Yu's father and son was extremely impactful, which made many scholars who were originally not optimistic about them begin to reconsider their attitude towards Liu Yu and his son, and also made people who wanted to attach themselves to and serve Liu Yu's father and son strengthen their attitude.

Just imagine, how can a person who can resolutely reach out to rescue his allies when he is under siege so easily abandon his subordinates and friends?

When Gongsun Chan retreated from Youzhou, it was the time when Yuan Shao and Han Fu were in the midst of a fierce battle, and when he led his army back to Nanpi, Yuan Shao also led his army back to Yecheng.

It's not hard to see why. Although Yuan Shao sent troops to attack Han Fu after Gongsun Zhan returned to Youzhou, Yecheng was 300 miles away from Gaoyi, while Nanpi was more than 500 miles away from Jicheng, so the time for the two sides to send troops was sequential, and the time for retreating was about the same, and the war ended in mid-June.

After Gongsun Zhan, who returned to Nanpi, learned the news that Yuan Shao had lost his troops and returned with a broken army, he suddenly laughed for no reason. People, that's it, when you see others better, you will be very angry, but when you see others who are more unlucky than you, you will gloat and be happy.

In fact, in the words of Liu Dagongzi, who is far away in Jicheng, these two wars are fucking bullshit! There is no positive value other than the death and wounding of thousands of soldiers, the waste of many food and grass materials, and the displacement of hundreds of thousands of people!

It's a good day, but the Han people are still fucking addicted to killing the Han people, and there is a kind of going to the north to wipe out all the foreign tribes that plague the Han people!

After two fierce battles, the situation in Youzhou and Jizhou returned to the original situation of the Quadripartite Alliance, and all parties were either secretly preparing for the next attack, or laying out for the next defense, in short, this matter is far from over.

In order to prevent Yuan Shao, who had returned to Yecheng, from making a comeback and dealing with the weakened Han Fu again, after obtaining Han Fu's consent, Liu He appointed Tai Shici as the captain of the southern cavalry, and commanded 4,000 Youzhou cavalry to garrison Gatao to help Han Fu survive the weak period after the war.

The 2,000 county soldiers recruited by Sun Jin, the prime minister of Changshan, were all accepted by Han Fu and incorporated into Zhang He's troops together with the more than 2,000 remaining soldiers guarding Gaoyi City. After this battle, Zhang He fully demonstrated his loyalty and ability to Han Fu, so he was appointed by Han Fu as the state Sima, commanding all the military power and guarding Gaoyi.

Xian Yufu and Xu Miao returned to Youzhou with 3,000 Zhending good soldiers, 5,000 converted surrendered soldiers, and 2,000 dead and wounded cavalry. Li Min, the Taishou of Zhuo County, personally led a thousand soldiers into Zhongshan Kingdom to greet him, which was particularly grand.

Liu Zheng stayed by Tai Shici's side temporarily, and it seemed that Liu He would have a new appointment for him in the next step.

After Yuan Shao returned to Yecheng, he sent an envoy Guo Tu to meet Han Fu and put forward a request for the exchange of prisoners and Wen Chou, but Han Fu only agreed to the previous proposal, but said that he could not make the decision about the release of Wen Chou.

Guo Tu had no choice but to go to Gaunt Tao to meet Tai Shi Ci and ask Tai Shi Ci to release the injured and captured Wen Chou. Tai Shici told Guo Tu that it was okay to exchange for Wen Chou if he wanted to, as long as Yuan Shao lifted the blockade of talents and materials in Youzhou, he would release Wen Chou according to the situation.

Guo Tu returned to Yecheng and reported Tai Shici's conditions to Yuan Shao, but Yuan Shao had no choice but to agree. Some people will say that Yuan Shao can pretend to agree to Liu He's conditions, and wait until Wen Chou is released to block the banks of the Yellow River again, wouldn't this be a yin for Liu He? However, please don't forget, this kind of negotiation is to be announced to the world, and if Yuan Shao really dares to do this, then he is taking his face and reputation inappropriately. Can a person with such a heavy face as Yuan Shao humiliate himself?

When the situation in Jizhou was a little calmer, Liu Dagongzi, who was far away in Jicheng, didn't know what kind of illness Lu Dao had committed, and suddenly let the dragon and tiger Wei general Xian Yuyin lead 5,000 cavalry to appear in the area of Zhongshan Anguo, which was close to Anping Kingdom.

Last time, Xian Yufu led 6,000 cavalry south, turning Jizhou upside down, and this time there is another guy with the surname Xianyu, and he also brings 5,000 menacing soldiers, what is this going on?

That's because the eldest prince was very dissatisfied with Liu Da'er, and without waiting for the autumn, he let Xian Yuyin come to ask for the debt!

In the city of Gauntlet, there were still 4,000 elite cavalry of Tai Shici, and at this time, Xian Yuyin led 5,000 cavalry to approach Anping Kingdom, which made the three Taozi brothers a little restless.

Liu Bei hurriedly sent Jian Yong to Nanpi to ask Gongsun Chan for help, but Gongsun Chan scolded Jian Yong for not saying anything. Gongsun Zan asked Jian Yong, when he led the army north, Liu Bei took the soldiers and horses to the Tangyang area close to Boluo Pavilion, what was he doing?

It seems that Gongsun Chan finally saw Liu Bei and Yuan Shao's secret eyebrows, and gave birth to serious dissatisfaction and vigilance.

Gongsun Chan told Jian Yong that this time he would not stand up for Liu Bei again, if Liu Bei didn't want to be besieged by Xian Yuyin and Tai Shici, then quickly retreat to Qingzhou with the 3,000 men and horses he had accumulated, anyway, An Pingxiang could no longer be the prime minister.

Jian Yong couldn't do anything, so he had to return to the letter and tell Liu Bei what Gongsun Chan meant. Big Ears is a very decisive person, especially when running, and never drags mud and water. He has already realized that if he continues to stay in Jizhou, he can only survive in the cracks, and he has no chance to develop and grow under the noses of Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan and Han Fu.

Liu Bei immediately evacuated Anping with 5,000 men and his men, and went straight to Qingzhou, where the Yellow Turban Rebellion was fierce. When Liu Bei evacuated, he went to Beihai to help Kong Rong fight against the remnants of the Yellow Turbans, and then kidnapped the 2,000 cavalry that Gongsun Zhan had sent to him very darkly.

After Liu Bei left, Liu Zheng took office and became the new peace minister. Of course, this matter was agreed to by Gongsun Zhan, on the condition that Liu He could not cut off Gongsun Zhan's transportation lifeline from Liaoxi and Youbeiping through Yongnu to Quancheng, and allowed war horses and other materials from the north to be transported to Nanpi.

Originally, when the four parties were talking, it was said that Xindu was a free trade area for all parties, and there was no standing army in Anping, but it was made a mess by Liu Bei, and now Liu Zheng came to take care of it, and everyone was happy to see it.

Liu He originally wanted to put Xu Miao in Xindu, because he suddenly found that his "Captain Wenxuan" was too talented to be reused, but he felt that there were still so many Wuhuan people in the north waiting for Xu Miao to inspire and transform, so he handed over a more important task to Xu Miao.

Liu Bei withdrew from Anping and took 5,000 recruits to Jizhou for long-distance "training", and immediately led the army back to the north, which was actually a false shot.
