Chapter 436: Gongsun is defeated
A fine light flashed in Cao Cao's eyes, and the most attractive thing in Xun Yu's words was to defeat the Xiliang army, and sighed: "Guo Da surrendered to our army, how could he do such an act, there are many yellow turban soldiers under the command of our army, don't you feel chilled when you see it?" ”
Xi Zhicai poured himself a glass of wine and took a sip, "Lord, Guo Danai is a smart person, he won't do anything stupid, as expected, he will definitely write a book to hand over the military power in his hand to the lord, and then he can only let the lord fall." ”
"And Guo Da is also a talent, a general on the battlefield, guarding Yuzhou for the lord to prevent Liu Biao, it is not a bad thing, anyway, before and after, our army has no losses." At this time, Jia Rongyuan was in Chang'an, and with the talent of Cao Cao's strategists, he categorically did not expect Guo to contact them.
Subsequently, a group of strategists under Cao Cao took a series of measures against Guo Da in Yuzhou.
Guo Da's surrender to Cheng, means that all the land of Yuzhou fell into the hands of Cao Cao, at this time Cao Cao can be said to be complacent, remembering that since he raised his troops, he only had thousands of soldiers and horses, and now he has 200,000 soldiers in his hands, and the generals under his command are like carp across the river, countless, new Yuzhou, with Qingzhou Yanzhou and Yuzhou in his hands, and Jia Rong just occupies the poor land of Liangzhou and Zhou, how can he compare with the richness of the Central Plains, with his own means, holiday time, will be able to defeat the Xiliang army, Then the Han dynasty was restored, and his name was left in history and he made a lot of achievements.
What really moved Cao Cao was that he was militarily stronger than the Xiliang Army, from the burning of the Yellow Turban to the defeat of Xianbei, the Xiliang Army was deducing one unsurpassed deed after another.
As Xun Yu expected, Guo Da really wrote that the military power in his hands was willing to completely hand over the military power in his hands to Cao Cao, Cao Cao remembered his meritorious service in governing Yuzhou, and expressed him as the right middle general, leading the soldiers and horses to guard Runan, Yingchuan, and guard against Liu Biao, on the surface, Yuzhou is still in the hands of Guo Da, in fact, most of the troops have been owned by Cao Cao.
Guo Da left 40,000 soldiers and horses, and handed over the rest of the soldiers and horses to Cao Ren, Guo Da was also ruthless, obeyed Yu Dan's orders, and handed over 20,000 yellow turban elites and 40,000 yellow scarves to Cao Ren to gain Cao Cao's trust.
Cao Cao saw that Guo Da was really sincere, and his heart was even more happy, so that many of the backup anti-Guo Da methods did not need to be used.
The next day, above the court, there were officials on the table Cao Cao's expedition to the east and west in recent years, and established a great meritorious service.
The Han Emperor named Cao Cao as a general and a townsman.
Cao Cao also promoted all the officials under his command, and for a while, Cao Jun rejoiced.
At this time, Yuan Shao was fighting a decisive battle with Gongsun Zhan's Zuihou main force in Youzhou, and it had been two months since the siege of the city, but the resistance of the defenders in the city was still very tenacious.
Gongsun Zhan locked himself in the house, drank and had fun all day long, did not think about the military, the officials and generals asked to see each other behind closed doors, the city defense affairs were completely handed over to Guan Jing's hands, Guan Jing is to deal with military affairs, and he is a good hand, although the morale of the army is low, there is no mistake, no matter how sharp the siege army is, it is very calm to deal with, so Yan Rou Yanliang's eyes are like a rootless duckweed city, but it stands tall.
In times of tribulation, Fang showed the talent of a general, and Guan Jing's own talent was good, but it had been covered up by Liu Yu and Gongsun Zhan, and at the moment of Zuihou, it was revealed.
The people in the Youzhou army are panicked, there are 50,000 troops outside the city, even if they only besiege and do not attack, it also causes a lot of psychological pressure on the defenders in the city, they have no way to retreat, this is a city of zuihou, after the city is broken, where should they go, and Gongsun Zhan's facelessness makes the officials and generals a little uneasy, and the main general still has no fighting spirit, not to mention the people under his command.
At Guan Jing's desperate request, Gongsun Chan finally appeared.
At this time, Gongsun Chan still had the heroic posture of the past, with two big black eyes, his face was pale, and even his walking steps were a little frivolous, as if a gust of wind could blow it down.
The White Horse General was gone, and the soldiers were disappointed.
Looking around at the generals in the tent, Gongsun Chan felt a chill in his heart, thinking that he was in charge of tens of thousands of soldiers in his hands, swept through Youzhou, rode through the iron horses, and surrendered, who dared to speak disobediently, and now, tens of thousands of troops are only left with remnants of the defeated generals, and there is only one zuihou left in the city, even the generals and officials who are trusted on weekdays will open the city gate when the enemy arrives, all kinds of actions, so that Gongsun Zhan's heart is like ashes, life and death in his opinion, has lost any meaning, he doesn't care anymore, I only hate that I didn't kill those officials and generals who betrayed me one by one in my lifetime.
"Ladies and gentlemen, now that the Youzhou Army is at its most critical moment, I know that you have careful thoughts in your hearts, people are not for themselves, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed, and I don't force it, but do you think that after taking refuge in Yuan Shaoyi or Yan Rou, you will be reused, as the so-called loyal ministers do not serve the two masters, they will no longer trust you as much as I do, and if they take refuge in them, at most they will be given a false position, and they will live the rest of their lives in fear, which is no different from dying." Gongsun Zhan's tone was full of vicissitudes.
Guan Jing took the opportunity to step forward and said: "The lord's words are reasonable, the grain and grass in the city are enough for the army for a year, and after the enemy army outside the city runs out of food and grass, it will naturally retreat, and you should use your lives to guard the city." ”
Gongsun Zhan glanced at Guan Jing gratefully, at the moment of crisis, this subordinate never gave up the army, did Zuihou's efforts, and tried to save the defeat.
"Willing to serve the general!" The generals in the tent had weak bows.
Gongsun Chan shook his head slightly, handed over the major affairs of the general to Guan Jing, turned around and left, what he said just now was also his heartfelt words, from the time of glory to the current defeat, he understood a lot.
Half a moon later, on a night when I couldn't see my fingers, the city gate was slowly opened, and the city was full of fires and shouts of killing.
Yan Rou took the opportunity to lead the army to rush in, Yan Liang directly led the soldiers to kill Gongsun Zan in the city, capture the thief and capture the king first, as long as Gongsun Zan is caught, the rest is not to worry.
As far as the eye could see, there was a sea of fire, Gongsun Chan slowly walked out of the house, listened to the movement in the city, understood in his heart, took the wine cup and drank it all, and chanted loudly: "A few people have come back to fight in ancient times!" ”
Guan Jing hurriedly came, and saw Gongsun Zhan's figure standing outside the door very lonely, "Lord, leave quickly, lead the army to block for a while, and after leaving the city, go round with the lord!" ”
"It's ridiculous that the world is so big, there is no place for my grandson Zan to stand!" Gongsun Chan said in a daxiao panic.
"Lord, stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood, the general is good with the main bus, why not go to it, in order to come to the future!" Guan Jing persuaded.
"My heart is dead, go ahead!" Gongsun Zhan's tone was neither sad nor joyful.
Guan Jing sighed, Zuihou glanced at the figure who turned around and walked into the room, got on the horse and left, Gongsun Zhan's heart to fight for hegemony was dead, but he Guan Jing still had a good life, and his husband existed in the world.
After Gongsun Chan returned to the house, he killed all his wives and children, and then burned himself to suicide, even if he died, he didn't want his body to fall into the hands of the enemy.
After the fall of Youzhou, Yuan Shaojun began to discuss the specific affairs of Youzhou with Yan Rou, Cao Cao's army occupied Qingzhou, Yuan Shao was already like an arrow, and Qingzhou was the biggest reliance of Yuan Shaojun.
Yan Rou had about 50,000 combatable soldiers in his hands, while Yuan Shao had 100,000 elite soldiers in his hands.
Yan Rou argued on the basis of reason, and wrote to the Han Emperor to list Liu He, the son of Liu Yu, as the pastor of Youzhou, Yuan Shao was anxious about the current situation, and hastily withdrew his troops, but left Yan Liang's army in Zhuo County, and took a wait-and-see attitude towards Youzhou.
Of course, the battle of Youzhou, Yuan Shao made a lot of profits, the old opponent Gongsun Zan died in battle, Youzhou's combatable soldiers can no longer pose a threat to Jizhou, the grain and grass materials obtained are countless, especially the precious war horses, but also obtained three thousand, with war horses, Yuan Shao can form a cavalry belonging to the Jizhou army, and in the future when the princes of the Central Plains are at war, they also have some capital, although the Euphorbia is elite, it is always infantry, and it cannot offset the strength of the cavalry, the cavalry can pursue for thousands of miles, give the enemy a heavy blow, cut off the grain road, sneak attack, etc., It is a particularly important class of troops on the battlefield.
The speed of the defeat of Gongsun Chan of Youzhou made Jia Rong a little unexpected, he didn't want to get involved in the affairs of Youzhou, let Yuan Shao and the Youzhou army consume each other, as long as the grassland was completely stabilized within two years, these princes of the Central Plains seemed to him to be nothing more than chickens and dogs, who expected Gongsun Chan to be so uncompromising, first the relying Bai Ma Yicong was defeated, and then the soldiers opened the city gate to welcome the enemy army in, Dahaode Youzhou, fell into the hands of Yan Rou and Yuan Shao.
This year is destined to be unstable, Cao Cao occupies Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Yuzhou, and his strength has risen sharply, so he naturally wants to take his father to Yanzhou to enjoy happiness.
When the Cao family went to Xuzhou, Xuzhou Mu Taoqian hurriedly sent someone to escort him, but who knew that the escort general coveted the wealth of the Cao family, and actually had bad intentions and robbed all his assets, and all the Cao family members were killed.
When Cao Cao of Yanzhou heard the news, he fainted angrily, he had been fighting horses for many years, not to let his family have a stable life, this is good, the battlefield officialdom was proud, but his family was killed halfway, and his mood can be imagined.
When he woke up, he gritted his teeth and said: "Tao Qian, you have harmed my family's life, and all the people of Xuzhou will be buried together." ”
When Xun You heard this, the secret way was not good, and he hurriedly persuaded: "Lord, no, soldiers are a major national matter, how can they do it without permission, and this matter is only Tao Qian's doing, what does it have to do with the people of Xuzhou?" Our army has been fighting one after another, there is not much food and grass, if the Xuzhou army desperately resists, mutual losses, it is unwise, and now our army has just occupied Qingzhou, Yuan Shao led the army to come, and must not delay the country's major affairs because of private affairs. Xun Yu was in a hurry, and he couldn't take care of so much, even including national events.
