In the county government, Zhang He, who was captured and had been convinced, was ashamed after seeing Zhang Chao.

Thinking that at the beginning, Zhang Chao had long wanted to appease him, if he was willing, his family would have no worries about life. Now he has become a captured general, and all his family members in Yecheng have been executed by Yuan Shao, all of which are his mistakes.

As soon as he saw Zhang He, Zhang Chao said with a miserable expression: "Junyi, I hurt your family." ”

"Ah, the Great General must not say so." Hearing that Zhang Chao took the fault on his own, Zhang He hurriedly panicked.

"Alas, if I have some preparations, arrange in advance, maybe my family will not have to face difficulties." Zhang Chao really shook his head, with a sad expression.

Zhang Chao's actions moved Zhang He, and he immediately knelt down and said: "Don't say this, everything is the fault of He's choice, and the fault is not the lord." ”

Zhang He called the lord, which also showed the intention of complete obedience, which caused Zhang Chao to be overjoyed, and after helping him up, he said: "Don't say so, I am also responsible for this matter." Of course, the fault is still on Yuan Benchu, if there is such a good general, he will not know how to treat him well, and sooner or later everyone will betray his relatives and leave. ”

When it came to Yuan Shao, Zhang He said with blood in his eyes: "The revenge of destroying the family will be avenged." ”

"Good. In this case, I will make you the general of Hanoi, and I will command 50,000 troops to calm Hanoi together with Mr. Fu. If Yuan Benchu is in the heart of war, we will give him a move to destroy the family. Zhang Chao gave Zhang He real power through the hatred between the two sides.

In the past, Hanoi was governed by Zhang He and Fu Zhi, but at that time, Hanoi was under the jurisdiction of Yuan Shao. And now, it is still managed by the two of them, and it is true that he has changed a lord and become Zhang Chao.

Dare to do this, naturally Zhang Chao has full confidence. Yuan Shao doesn't know how to use people, so he will have this failure, but he is confident that the same people and the same things will have different results.

For Zhang Chao to put himself alone and trust him so much, Zhang He was naturally moved, and immediately said that he would defend Hanoi and repay the favor of the lord with broken bones.

After the appointment, Zhang He immediately took his soldiers to take a detour and go to Hanoi to take up his post first.

Zhang Chao himself withdrew from Jizhou with Lu Bu's 40,000 vanguard army, Huang Zhong's 41,000 legionnaires, and 5,000 Zhang's army, and went straight to Yanmen Pass from Changshan County.

As soon as the army drove out of Changshan County, there was an urgent report from the direction of Youzhou, the letter was sent by Jia Xu, the military advisor in charge of Youzhou, and the letter said that the land of Sanhan suddenly raised troops in Lelang County, and killed the county guard sent by Gongsun Du there.

Now the 200,000 troops of Sanhan are being killed by Lelang in the direction of Liaodong County, Jia Xuji and Gongsun Du and others lead troops to defend, and at the same time, General Zhao Yun, who is guarding Hejian County, has rushed to Liaodong with 50,000 dragon and tiger troops.

Looking at this military emergency, Zhang Chao's eyes showed anger and said: "What a foreign race of Sanhan, I didn't think of conquering you, so you came to the door by yourself, even if so, I cleaned you up first." ”

The military situation was tense, and Zhang Chao immediately took 85,000 people not to Yanmen, but to turn from Youzhou to Liaodong County. In order to solve the border problem of Youzhou once and for all, Zhang Chao also sent a letter to the Lusu military division who stayed in Jinyang City, asking him to send the 50,000 main forces of the First Army Corps with him.

At the end of September 196, after more than two months, Zhang Chao inflicted heavy losses on Yuan Shao, bringing temporary peace to his southern border. After that, he waved his army to the east and came straight to Liaodong.

Sanhan entered the country, and this matter quickly reached the ears of Jizhou Mu Yuan Shao. Immediately, it was suggested that this was the best time to capture Tuzhou, or at least recapture Hanoi. But Yuan Shao just shook his head in a cheerful mood after hearing this, "Forget it, let's wait first, our army has just experienced a big war, and now the morale is insufficient, and the number of soldiers is also insufficient, so let's wait for the results from Liaodong." ”

Yuan Shao has an excellent background and is also modest, but he has a fatal characteristic that he is resourceful and decisive. He often hesitates to do things, which makes him miss many opportunities in history, and was finally destroyed by Cao Cao.

Zhang Chao also grasped Yuan Shao's point, so he was relieved to lead his troops to Liaodong.

Yuan Shao did not move, which gave Zhang Chao the opportunity to solve the troubles around Youzhou, which was also the reason why he agreed to negotiate peace and did not need too many conditions, he just wanted to leave Yuan Shao behind and block Cao Cao's troops in the Central Plains.

On the contrary, if Yuan Shao was really destroyed, he was afraid that he would be replaced by Cao Cao, and he would not dare to concentrate his forces so decisively to start the battle of Liaodong.

Liaodong County.

Gongsun Du is the county guard, since he surrendered to Zhang Chao, his life has not changed much, and even better and more free than when he was under Gongsun Zhan.

Originally, he liked this way of life very much. Although it belongs to Zhang Chao's account, the so-called Tiangao Emperor Yuan, he still has a great right to speak in Liaodong. Unexpectedly, Zhang Chao and Yuan Shao fought together, and then Sanhan thought that the time was ripe, so he suddenly sent troops into Lelang and caught him off guard.

Seeing that Lelang was occupied and Liaodong was in crisis, Gongsun Du was in a hurry to inform Jia Xu, and at the same time led troops to Anping, Liaodong, and fought a battle with Sanhan.

Because there was not enough preparation to start the war, under the first battle, Gongsun Du was defeated, and the auxiliary Mr. Tian Chou and the general Xian Yufu appointed by Zhang Chao were killed in battle.

Under the First World War, Fei Dan lost 30,000 soldiers and lost Xi'an Ping, which opened the door of Liaodong, and Gongsun Du had to retreat to Wenxian in a panic, waiting for Jia Xu's reinforcements.

The three Koreas are Mahan, Jinhan, and Benhan, and there were three small tribes in the southern part of the Korean Peninsula in ancient times.

Mahan was the most powerful of the three Koreas, and was proclaimed the "King of Chen" by the three Koreas, and ruled the land of the three Koreas.

Mahan is made up of 54 city-states, and Jinhan is mainly located east of the Nakdong River and consists of 12 city-states. Benhan also consisted of 12 city-states.

The Han Dynasty fell, but Sanhan was unusually peaceful at this time, and continued to grow and develop.

When Zhang Chao raised troops to enter Liaodong, General Baima sent people to ask Sanhan for help, just because the Bingzhou army was too brave, waiting for them to prepare the army, Gongsun Zhan had already been defeated and killed, but from that time on, Sanhan was interested in entering Youzhou, they were just waiting for a suitable time.

When Zhang Chao and Yuan Shao fought in the north, this made Sanhan seem to see an opportunity, and when he concentrated 200,000 troops to raid Lelang, he began his invasion journey.

After attacking Lelang all the way and winning a battle in Xi'anping, Sanhan saw the hope of expansion, and immediately after the rectification of Xi'an, he sent troops to Wen County.

The 200,000-strong army of Samhan was led by three generals, General Libuche of Mahan, General Dejun of Jinhan, and Gunni of Benhan. Among them, except for the 100,000 troops who marched Ma Han, the others were 50,000 horses. Along the way, they burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of evil, killing more than 50,000 men and the elderly, and robbing more than 50,000 women and children.

The smooth progress of the road made their morale great, and when they came to Wenxian County, they were even more strong-spirited, and from a distance, they were just crowded, and there were countless people.

Gongsun Du, who was on the tower above the city of Wenxian County, saw that there were so many soldiers of the three Hans, and he was immediately frightened, and he chose to abandon the city and retreat to Anshi City, leaving nearly 10,000 people in a city to ignore it, making the soldiers of the three Han soldiers enter the city again.

When Jia Xu arrived at Anshi City with 50,000 soldiers, what he saw was Gongsun Du, who had been defeated all the way, and his 5,000 soldiers.

Gongsun Du was defeated, the main reason was that there were too few available soldiers, only 5,000 people, and in the face of the 200,000 army like a wolf and a tiger, it was impossible to defend it.

"Sir, save me." As soon as he saw Jia Xu enter the city with a large army, Gongsun Du was crying forward, he knew that this time he had lost the city and damaged the people and horses, and he had already violated the military law formulated by Zhang Chao.

"Whether you can save the general, I can't tell, the lord has already raised a large army to Liaodong, and you can listen to his arrangement. Left and right, take this person down. Jia Xu looked at Gongsun Du, who was kneeling on the ground, and shook his head. If he only lost the city, he was not worried, but this person abandoned the people and fled by himself, which must be intolerable to Zhang Chao.

What Zhang Chao's attitude towards the people is, Jia Xu is very clear. This time, Gongsun Du is afraid that it will be difficult to escape again.

After placing Gongsun Du under house arrest, Jia Xu immediately ordered the general Liu Pu (Gongsun Zhan's former subordinate, demoted to a general, who had made a battle exploit in the battle to eliminate Gongsun Zhan) to arrange for the evacuation of the people of Anshi City, and at the same time he called another general Xian Yuyin to arrange people to defend the city.

Jia Xu only had 50,000 soldiers this time, facing the city of Anshi, which was not high in the city wall, he knew that he could not hold it for a long time, but the people in the city had not yet evacuated, and he could not abandon the city, so he had to fight.

As soon as the defense of the city was arranged, Samhan's army came to the castle. There was no rest, and the siege began.

The morale of Sanhan's army was extremely strong all the way, and there was no opponent all the way, and the siege was also unusually fierce, with 20,000 soldiers in Yin, but after defending it for a day and a night, it was a loss of 15,000 soldiers, and it was almost impossible to support it.

In desperation, Jia Xu had to send another 20,000 people, and then he barely defended the city for three days, until the people withdrew from the city and walked out of the hundred miles and ten places, Jia Xu led the army to retreat, so that Anping City was taken.

When they entered the city, they couldn't see the people or find food, and Samhan's army was very angry, so they chased after them all the way.

Seeing that the enemy was chasing after him, Jia Xu knew that he couldn't escape quickly with the people, so he just left 2,000 soldiers to escort the people, and he took the two generals Xian Yuyin and Liupu plus the remaining 23,000 soldiers to start a decisive battle with Sanhan on the flat ground.
