Kebineng's matter was settled, Zhang Chao asked Guo Jia to bring the 10,000 cavalry left by Zhang Liao and the people of the Kebineng tribe to Jinyang City, Yuan Shao was attacking Hanoi, and he was about to succeed, Jinyang City could not be without a seat, although Lu Su was there, after all, his temperament was weaker, let Guo Jia go back, he would be much more relieved.

As soon as Guo Jia, Zhang Liao and others left, Zhang Chao reorganized the army, with 50,000 cavalry, 20,000 infantry, 2,000 heavy cavalry and 3,000 light cavalry, a total of 75,000 people rushed to Liaoxi County.

Liaoxi County.

A river separates western and eastern Liaoning, known as the Liao River in history.

At this moment, in Hexi, it is the army led by Jia Xu and the Ministry of Xian Yin; To the east of the river was Gongsun Zhanbu and the reinforcements he invited from the Xianbei tribe of Suramika Danyu.

Suriyaka's forces were originally in Yuyang and Youbeiping, but later because of the arrival of Jia Xu's army, they retreated in order to avoid its edge, and at the invitation of Gongsun Zhan, they went to Liaodong. The two sides agreed that once Zhang Chao's army was defeated, this would divide the entire Youzhou equally.

Originally, Gongsun Zhan's power was not small, but now with the addition of Xianbei's Suramiga Department, it is even stronger. is with Jia Xu's ability, after attacking several times in a row, he didn't take too much advantage. Even several times the troops entered Liaodong, but they could not retreat.

Originally, Jia Xu only brought 50,000 troops when he came, but later captured 30,000 infantry under Yan Liang of Yuan Shaojun's army. It was immediately reorganized, and the number of soldiers increased to 80,000. But after several big battles, the troops were also consumed 20,000, and with only 60,000 soldiers in hand, he had to deal with Gongsun Zhan's 80,000 soldiers plus the 40,000 Xianbei army under Sulimika, which was naturally very laborious.

The troops couldn't enter, Jia Xu thought of holding Liaoxi first, and at this time, Zhang Chao arrived with 75,000 people, and immediately in terms of the number of troops, he was no longer at a disadvantage.

As soon as Zhang Chao arrived in Liaoxi, he rushed to the Liao River and joined up with Jia Xu's department, which was camping here, and the news quickly spread to Gongsun Zhan's department. After they heard that Zhang Chao had killed Kebineng and severely damaged the Xianbei one, all of them had shocked expressions on their faces.

Especially Surrimika, who is also a Xianbei person, he is very clear about Kebineng's ability, in his eyes, this is definitely a difficult opponent, but he was also destroyed by Zhang Chao, can it be said that Zhang Chao is even more powerful?

Even Suramika showed fear in his heart, not to mention the other generals, the entire military tent fell into silence for a while because of Zhang Chao's arrival.

Gongsun Zhan, who was sitting on the first seat, was awe-inspiring after seeing everything in his eyes, but with his position, he would never surrender, otherwise, the inheritance that the family had worked so hard to pass down would be destroyed by him. He would rather die than see something like this happen.

Seeing that the generals were afraid of Zhang Chao's arrival, Gongsun Zhan stretched out his right hand and slapped it on the desk, and said loudly: "What are you afraid of?" ”

This slam shot immediately attracted everyone's attention. After seeing that the person who spoke was Gongsun Zhan, everyone's eyes gathered here, and they all wanted to hear what he could say at this time.

What Gongsun Chan needed was this effect, seeing that everyone's eyes were looking at him, he said: "Zhang Chao is here, and he has brought a lot of reinforcements, but what's so terrible about this?" We occupy the five counties of Liaodong, Xuansu, Lelang, Zhenfan, and Lintun, and occupy the geographical advantages, how can we be afraid of him? There are also Wuhuan and Fuyu on the side and the Sanhan Department behind them, in line with the truth that their lips are dead and their teeth are cold, presumably they will help even if they are for themselves. In this way, where there are soldiers everywhere, Zhang Chao, who came from afar, cannot take advantage of it. As long as everyone works together and the soldiers use their lives, it is very likely that they will be blown out, and it is up to us to control the impossibility of Youzhou. ”

Gongsun Chan was cheering everyone on while looking at everyone's faces. After seeing that the faces of the generals still did not show enough confidence, he said again: "In this way, Guo Xin Changshi went to Wuhuan on my behalf, Guan Jing Changshi went to Fuyu on my behalf, and Liu Yuan Changshi went to Sanhan on my behalf, in short, we must unite all those who can be united, and we will definitely defeat Zhang Chao's department, and our army will win." ”

Gongsun Zhan gave several orders in a row, which shows that he attaches great importance to Zhang Chao's arrival.

Originally, he didn't do this when facing Jia Xu, because he felt that he could solve the problem by himself, but when Zhang Chao arrived, he also felt great pressure and began to unite with other forces to fight together.

At the same time that Gongsun Zhan issued the order, in the large army camp tent by the Liao River, Zhang Chao also listened carefully to Jia Xu's report on the battle situation during this period of time.

"Lord, this time he is incompetent and did not capture Liaodong." When Jia Xu said these words, he lowered his head. Thinking about how much pressure Zhang Chao withstood but he really didn't make any progress under such rear protection, he really felt ashamed.

"Wen and Mo want to say this, this time you have done a good job. With the speed of thunder, he captured most of Youzhou, and with a small number of troops, he supported Gongsun Zhan's possible westward advance, which made great contributions. Zhang Chao patted Jia Xu on the shoulder and said with a pleasant face.

"The lord is really ashamed to say this." Jia Xu still lowered his head, and he was very ashamed.

"Hehe, alright. Let's not talk about the past, in Wenhe's opinion, even if I arrived with a large army, what should that Gongsun Chan do about it? Zhang Chao walked in front of the sand table and began to look at the map.

When Jia Xu heard this, he also came to the sand table, and after thinking about it for a while, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the sand table and said: "The lord is here with a victorious army, presumably Gongsun Zhan will definitely be afraid in his heart, and even the generals under them will be very afraid." It's just that they're definitely not going to be caught, and in my opinion, they're likely to give it their all. And with their strength, it is difficult to be the opponent of my army, if I were Gongsun Zhan, I would ask for reinforcements, among which Wu Huan, Fu Yu, and even Sanhan behind them may be their target for the alliance. ”

Jia Xu is Jia Xu, worthy of being a senior strategist, Gongsun Zhan's mind was actually pondered by him.

Zhang Chao looked at the sand table, his eyes moved with Jia Xu's words, and soon his eyes fell on the Wuhuan in the north and said: "Fuyu and Sanhan are too far away from us, we can not talk about it for the time being, but this Wuhuan is indeed in our north, if they suddenly attack on the flank when we attack Gongsun Zhan, it is not a good thing, in this way, I will personally go to Wuhuan, the leader there is Badun, I will go to meet him." ”

Zhang Chao was determined to unite with Wuhuan, if he didn't conquer this army, it would be like choking in his throat, and he wouldn't be comfortable.

Hearing that Zhang Chao wanted to unite with Wuhuan, Jia Xu first nodded in approval, but when he heard that Zhang Chao was going to go in person, he couldn't help but quickly shook his head and said: "No, it is rumored that the Wuhuan people have been expelled by the Han several times, and they have a deep prejudice against us. ”

"Is it dangerous? Hehe, but things always need to be done. My life is my life, and no one else is not? As I said, if I go, I can have a better deterrent after seeing Badun, and this advantage is something you don't have. As I said, after all these years of retreat, Wuhuan only has 30,000 troops, and when I go, I will take Zhang's army plus Fengxian and 10,000 vanguard troops, and it will be enough to deal with any problems. Zhang Chao said in an unquestionable tone, in fact, he was also making a decision.

Zhang Chao was determined to make a decision, and Jia Xu naturally couldn't persuade him, but he still felt that something was wrong.

It was Zhang Chao who said with a smile: "Wenhe, don't be bold, in fact, as long as you can guard the army well, you can put great pressure on Wu Huan, and in that case, they won't dare to kill me." ”

"Well, that is, the Lord will make a decision, and he will definitely guard the camp." Jia Xu said reassuringly.

"Okay, you go down and get ready, and we'll leave in two days." Zhang Chao nodded. Although he didn't know much about this person, he did know that Cao Cao had defeated them in history, and even if someone could do it, he would definitely be able to do it.

"Wuhuan", one of the ancient Chinese peoples. Also known as Karasuma, the Wuhuan tribe was originally a branch of the Donghu tribal alliance.

In history, Wuhuan was alone, and the service belonged to the Xiongnu. The Xiongnu levied livestock and leather from Wuhuan every year, and if they did not pay it on time, they confiscated their wives as slaves. It can be said that it is a nation that has suffered many disasters. Until now, when the war broke out in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, no one cared about the existence of Wuhuan, which gave it a chance for development.

But after all, the bottom is too thin, and although there is an opportunity for development, there is still no climate. There are only more than 10,000 cavalry and 20,000 archers.

Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao, and the expedition to Wuhuan was in 200 AD, and now it is 195 years, without the development of these five years, Wuhuan has not grown, which is also the reason why Zhang Chao dared to conquer in person.

This time it was different from the Xianbei part where I went to Budugen last time. Last time, he only brought 500 light horsemen of Zhang's army, in order to show favor and accept them. And this time, he led an army of 15,000 cavalry, and what he did was to surrender to the other side. If the acquaintance can naturally be taken for his own use, if it is resisted, then it will be directly destroyed.

Just when Gongsun Zhan sent Guo Xin to Liucheng, the capital of Wuhuan, Zhang Chao also took 15,000 iron horsemen and another 50,000 Xianbei iron horsemen to the north from the Liao River, aiming directly at "Baitan" and "Pinggang". It's just that what people don't know is that the 50,000 Xianbei iron horsemen who followed returned after not far from the Liao River. This is also a plan after Zhang Chao and Jia Xu discussed, they just want to create the illusion that there are not many soldiers by the Liao River, and attract Gongsun Zhan's attack.
