Gongsun Zhan, who only had 5,000 people, did not give up his determination to fight, he decided to kill it with the most elite force, and then look for an opportunity to rise.

Gongsun Zhan resisted fiercely, and after throwing down two thousand cavalry, he really made a hole and rushed out of Lu Bu's vanguard cavalry.

rushed down from the mountain, and just came to the foot of Lushan, and met Zhang Chao who came on a white horse with the cavalry of the Zhang family.

When the enemy meets, it can be said that he is very red-eyed. Gongsun Zhan rode on his horse and immediately shouted: "Zhang Chao, you and I were originally from the well water and did not interfere with the river water, why do you have to work hard to force each other, you must kill me?" ”

"Doesn't well water interfere with river water? What is the explanation for your attack on my Jia Xu Ministry? Zhang Chao saw the three thousand who were also riding a white horse, and followed the white horse, and said loudly. You used to be a subordinate of the pastor Liu Yu, but you did kill the master, your behavior is really the anger of people and gods, and I, as the emperor's personal general, naturally have the right to crusade against you. If it is an image, then dismount and surrender, and I will intercede for you in front of the emperor at that time, and if you still want to resist, then today is your burial place. ”

Zhang Chao spoke in the name of the general, and first took the lead in the truth.

Gongsun Chan listened to what Zhang Chao said, and said with a disdainful expression: "The emperor of the Han Dynasty? Who doesn't know that it has already existed in name only, now is the world in troubled times, naturally there are talented people who win the world, Zhang Chao, you don't have to use any identity to oppress people. ”

"Humph! Gongsun Zhan, if you know that there are talented people who win the world, then you ask yourself if you are talented. The world is in charge of you, can you make the people happy? If you can't do it, why not surrender early, or you can spend the rest of your life comfortably, wouldn't it be beautiful? ”

"Okay, Zhang Chao, you don't have to pretend to persuade me, I tell you, surrender is impossible. Although I am now a defeated soldier, I still have 3,000 white horse followers, if I must fight, I will die and hit you hard, have you thought about it? Gongsun Zhan knew that he was not an opponent if he reasoned, even if he did, it was good to use force, and he still had the strength to fight with three thousand elites.

After seeing that Gongsun Zhan would rather die than surrender, Zhang Chao also gave up his determination to persuade the other party. It's just that it is absolutely impossible to let him leave, Gongsun Chan is a tumor, if it is not removed now, once it grows stronger in the future, it will still be a headache. Even so, it is better to fight for the loss of strength, and these people will also be killed.

"Where are Ziman and Zhongkang? Now you are facing a strong opponent, and it is up to you. Zhang Chao decided to use force, so he rode back and summoned the two chief guards.

Dian Wei and Xu Chu had long wanted to meet this legendary invincible white horse for a while, and now that they have such an opportunity, they will naturally not let it go. Immediately, the two horsemen rushed out, followed by two thousand heavy horsemen of the Zhang family.

With Zhang's army riding heavily against the white horse, Zhang Chao also wanted to see how his strongest elite was fighting.

"What a Zhang Chao, if you fight to the death, then I will have to accompany you. Come, brethren, come with me and show them how powerful we are. After Gongsun Chan shouted, he also waved the long knife in his hand and rushed forward.

Immediately, 3,000 white horses and 2,000 heavy cavalry of the Zhang family army were in a scuffle.

In terms of numbers, Gongsun Chan has some advantages. However, in terms of equipment, the heavy cavalry of the Zhang family is indeed much more advanced, and their whole body is protected by heavy armor, so that when facing the spear of the white horse Yicong, they can also resist several moves.

The two most elite northern armies fought together, and from a distance, they heard the sound of weapons colliding and the roar of war horses.

Under the dust raised from the sky, one cavalry after another was planted on top, most of them were white horse righteous servants, but there were also heavy cavalry figures of the Zhang family.

There was only a battle of 5,000 people, and the momentum was indeed comparable to the scene of tens of thousands of people fighting together. This battle lasted for two hours, and it was still not over after Lu Bu finished gathering Gongsun Zan on the mountain.

There are still nearly 1,000 white horse followers who are still holding on.

Gongsun Zhan didn't know when, he was hit in the head by Dian Wei's halberd, and he had already died in battle. However, his loyal subordinates did not surrender because of the death of their master, on the contrary, they seemed to be more warlike.

"Retreat!" Seeing that there were 2,000 heavy cavalry of the Zhang family, and now there were only a little more than 1,000 of them in the field, Zhang Chao felt a burst of distress, so he hurriedly issued an order to retreat.

The heavy cavalry of the Zhang family retreated, and only more than 1,000 white horses who remained in the field were still resisting to the end.

Looking at these loyal and powerful white horse righteous servants, Zhang Chaoyan said loudly: "Now that you surrender, you can receive the best treatment, and at the same time, I can also be buried in your master, how about it?" ”

Zhang Chao sincerely admires these white horse righteous followers, they still stick to it so tenaciously when the lord is dying, and this is admirable.

If it were the other armies, after the death of the Lord, I am afraid that they would have surrendered long ago under heavy siege.

If other armies had suffered such heavy losses to the heavy cavalry of the Zhang family, Zhang Chao would have absolutely no possibility of leaving them.

But this is the most elite Baima Yicong in the Youzhou region, they have killed Xianbei, Xiongnu and Wuhuan people are terrified, for them, Zhang Chao really wants to give them a way to live.

However, Zhang Chao has this heart, and these white horses really have no idea of living alone. After listening to his words, Fei Dan did not have the slightest intention of laying down his weapons, on the contrary, he was still reorganizing the formation, looking like that, he clearly wanted to continue to attack Zhang Chao.

"Ugh." Seeing that the other party was going to fight hard, Zhang Chao had to shake his head with some pity, and then rode lightly to the three thousand Zhang Jiajun behind him: "Prepare to release the arrows." ”

"Rush!" After Bai Ma Yi shouted from him, thousands of cavalry rushed towards Zhang Chao's position, and each of them had a look of death on their faces.

At a distance of three miles, thousands of white horses rushed over without hesitation, seeing that they were getting closer and closer, Zhang Chao just spit out a word in his mouth, and then the arrows in the sky rushed up and shot straight ahead.

It is a pity that these valiant white horse volunteers, in the face of the rain of arrows, can only do to resist with their bodies, and then one after another cavalry fell from their horses, that is, when they died, they all fell on the way to charge.

Until the last White Horse Yi fell from the horse, at least Gongsun Zhan's power was completely eliminated. Seeing this result, Zhang Chao said with a hint of compassion in his voice: "All of them are buried thickly, they are real heroes." ”

With the killing of Gongsun Zhan, the entire Youzhou completely became Zhang Chao's territory, and after he obtained the annexation of the state, he obtained the land of a state - Youzhou.

After killing Gongsun Zhan, Zhang Chao only had two days to integrate and surrender his troops, and then he led the army straight to Dongyang County, and he set his sights on Zhongshan County in Jizhou.

As soon as the news that Zhang Chao killed Kebineng and Gongsun Zan one after another and unified the entire Youzhou reached Yecheng, Yuan Shao, who also set his eyes on Hedong and Huguan, became a little panicked. He didn't know how Zhang Chao did it, he only knew that the current Zhang Chao was coming from the north to Zhongshan County, if he didn't have any preparations, it was likely that this person would enter Jizhou, if his hometown was not guaranteed.

In a hurry, Yuan Shao called Guo Tu and Xu You and others to discuss. In the end, a decision was made, that is, to send Yan Liang with 100,000 troops to Zhongshan County to block the iron hooves of Zhang Chao's army, and then transfer back the Wenchou Department that attacked Hedong and the Zhang He Department who attacked Huguan in case of wartime.

The war in Youzhou suddenly changed, and even Gongsun Zhan, who had always given Yuan Shao a headache and made the border ethnic groups afraid, was destroyed by Zhang Chao, and this incident soon caused a sensation in the entire Central Plains, and also made Yuan Shao unable to change attack and defend, and stationed troops in Zhongshan County.

At this time, after Zhang Chao integrated the rest of Gongsun Zhan, he had 30,000 soldiers, and in addition to the convergence with Jia Xu, now he led an army of 80,000 cavalry and 100,000 infantry, and the momentum was coming towards Zhongshan County.

Yan Liang was ordered by Yuan Shaozhi to bring 100,000 troops to fight in Zhongshan County, and it seemed that a big war was about to break out.

However, just when the princes of all parties set their eyes on Zhongshan County, Zhang Chao did send Jia Xu as an envoy and came straight to Yecheng.

Under the momentum of victory, Zhang Chao was not ready to fight, but was ready to negotiate peace, which made Yuan Shaochang breathe a sigh of relief, and at the same time he also sent an envoy Xu You to talk to Jia Xu.

Under Zhang Chao's instruction, Jia Xu and Xu You had a three-day long talk, and the final result was that Yuan Shao admitted that Zhang Chao occupied Youzhou; Zhang Chao admitted that Yuan Shao had become the new master of Hanoi. The two families became allies and a truce was held to the outside world.

Since ancient times, it has been said that the enemy is attacking from afar, but Zhang Chao did the opposite, and formed an alliance with Yuan Shao, who was the closest to him, which also indicates that he did not intend to raise troops in the short term.

The battle of Youzhou began in December 194, when Zhang Chao led 45,000 troops and Jia Xu's 45,000 people, a total of 90,000 people, entered Youzhou successively.

The First World War lasted until July 195, and while occupying Youzhou, 180,000 troops were gained, not including the people of Yizhou, as well as the 10,000 cavalry brought back by Guo Jiaxian and the 10,000 troops surrendered by Gongsun Du. It is recorded in history as the Youzhou War.

Under the war, the consumption is also huge, the inventory of the armory in Jinyang City is almost extinct, although the food is slightly sufficient, but if it is supported in the southern expedition to Jizhou, I am afraid that there will also be a phenomenon of food shortage. After thinking about everything, Zhang Chao decided to negotiate peace, and first developed what he was talking about.
