Chapter 556: Hebei Chaos
The Montenegrin army attacked the county, and the Jizhou government sent troops to counteract. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
After several skirmishes, a major battle finally broke out between the Jizhou Army and the Montenegrin Army in Julu. The Montenegrin army has the advantage of troops, but the general of Jizhou Prefecture, Ju Yi, can fight well, and his early experience in Liangzhou made him proficient in the Qiang people's tactics, and his private soldiers are all elite, and there is no ambiguity in the battle. After a fierce battle, the Montenegrin army retreated with more than 1,000 corpses, and the Jizhou army won its first victory.
This Ju Yi is the Jizhou general who took the lead in the battle of Jieqiao and severely damaged the White Horse Yicong.
Now Ju Yi is Han Fu's subordinate general, and he has not rebelled, and it is a matter of time to join Yuan Shao's account.
The victory boosted the morale of the Jizhou army, and also aroused the anger of the Montenegrin army. Because of the destruction of the Ku Ministry, the Montenegrin tribes were generally in anger, and they would not reflect on the turmoil they brought to Jizhou Mansion by plundering everywhere, and Han Fu, who had always been relatively moderate (weak), actually sent troops to fight with the Montenegrin army, and won a victory, which made the Montenegrin army furious, thinking that Han Fu's dispatch of troops was a stone, and the frustrated dissatisfaction quickly detonated.
More Montenegrin troops took action.
Not only did most of the Montenegrin Army in Jizhou shoot, but the Montenegrin Army in Jizhou was also ready to move, and many of them rushed to Jizhou.
Han Fu's head is as big as a fight.
There are many soldiers in Montenegro, claiming to have hundreds of thousands of people with armor, even if there are not so many, pulling out a lineup of one or two hundred thousand, where can Jizhou Mansion afford it. You must know that there are not too many generals who can fight in Jizhou Mansion, except for the general Ju Yi, the military Sima Zhang He is more reliable, and the Montenegrin army is attacking in a big way, and it is not difficult to imagine the anxiety in Han Fu's heart.
Under the heavy pressure brought by the Montenegrin army, Han Fu had to show favor to Yuan Shao, the Taishou of Bohai.
Han Fu didn't want Yuan Shao to continue to stay in Jizhou, and he had been tightening the ropes in terms of material supplies, forcing Yuan Shao to dismiss part of the army, but Yuan Shao always gritted his teeth and did not reduce his troops, and the Bohai army was much stronger than the standing army of ordinary counties; Moreover, the collective movement of the Montenegrin Army originated from the Bohai Sea, Yuan Shao was confronting the Montenegrin Army, and everyone had a common enemy, at this time, Han Fu would naturally unite the front with Yuan Shao.
Han Fu pulled Yuan Shao to fight against the Montenegrin Army, but Yuan Shao couldn't ask for it.
The material resources of Jizhou Prefecture have been continuously sent to Bohai, and the shortage of materials that have plagued Bohai for a long time has come to an end.
The Jizhou princes and the Montenegrin army were not ready for an all-out war, and they also lacked the motivation for an all-out war. However, a large-scale confrontation can easily cause the two sides to drift into flames, and the longer it lasts, the greater the risk of a full-scale conflict.
The situation is still escalating.
The Montenegrin Army marched towards Jizhou, and Han Fu and Yuan Shao also had friends to accompany them.
Hanoi Taishou Wang Kuang, Jibei Xiang Bao Xin, Chongzhou Assassin Liu Dai, have sent troops to Jizhou, although these families sent not many troops, basically three or five thousand people, but clearly expressed the attitude of supporting the princes of Jizhou, these foreign princes have participated in the crusade against Dong Zhuo, the signal of the Kwantung princes behind the move is what Zhang Yan is most worried about, the Montenegrin army is rare to converge, it is precisely for this reason.
To put it bluntly, the original goal of the various units of the Black Mountain Army was the Flying Fish Territory, and they did not want to start a war with the local princes, but they misjudged Yuan Shao's determination, and Yuan Shao's will to maintain his dignity was stronger than they thought.
As one of the signatories of the original peace agreement, the Montenegrin Bitter Ministry has repeatedly violated the Flying Fish Collar by Yang Fengyin and Yin, which has made Yuan Shao very embarrassed, this time the Montenegrin Army has entered the Bohai Sea in a big way, if Yuan Shao does not stand up to stop it, let the Montenegrin Army cross the border and use force, and then simply go out with a mask.
Misjudging Yuan Shao's attitude was the first mistake made by the Montenegrin army.
The second mistake was that after they were blocked from entering the Bohai Sea, they recklessly vented their attacks on the counties, and finally forced Han Fu to send troops to intervene, forming a full-scale confrontation between the Black Mountain Army and the Jizhou princes.
The Montenegrin army is large, and it usually attacks counties at will, and they don't see how the local government is, but this time the strong reaction of the princes of Jizhou greatly surprised them. On the surface, it seems that Yuan Shao and Han Fu suddenly became tough, which led to the situation becoming more and more serious, but in fact, there are deeper reasons inside, but the Montenegrin Army was born in a peasant uprising, and the vision of the heads of various departments was low and could not be seen.
The attitude of the princes has become tough, and four words are enough to sum it up: the times are changing.
In the past, the Montenegrin army attacked the counties and counties, and most of the local governments retreated, first, the local government military strength was relatively weak, and second, it lacked the motivation to fight the Montenegrin army to the death. After the crusade against Dong Zhuo, there was no owner in Kanto, and the territory was equivalent to the private property of the princes, and some people ran to the house to grab money and goods, and it was strange that the princes did not work hard. The princes divided themselves and fought hard one after another, which objectively enhanced their ability and confidence to resist the Montenegrin army.
The Montenegrin ministries still acted in the same way as before, which of course provoked a strong backlash from the Kwantung princes.
It's not that there is no one who understands in the Montenegrin army, that is the big leader Zhang Yan.
Zhang Yan was willing to accept Yuan Shao's mediation precisely because he foresaw a change in the situation and was unwilling to clash easily, so as not to force the Kwantung princes to join forces to contain Montenegro. After the fall of the Ku Ministry, the various ministries were angry and wanted to take revenge, Zhang Yan neither stopped nor supported, forcibly blocking would disappoint the people, and clearly supporting revenge was contrary to his original agreement with Yuan Shao, and it was likely to be criticized for "no trust", so he simply kept silent and acquiesced.
When the situation escalated, Zhang Yan couldn't speak out.
If you really fight, you will inevitably lose both.
At this point, both sides are a little difficult to ride.
None of them wants a major conflict to erupt, and they all have the will to resolve the crisis diplomatically.
When the army was tense, the envoys of Jizhou and Montenegro came and went frequently.
Zhang Yan was worried that it would eventually turn into a full-scale conflict between the Montenegrin Army and the Kwantung princes, and she had the intention to turn hostility into a jade silk and have the sincerity of reconciliation; Han Fu finally got up once, took advantage of some advantages on the battlefield, played momentum, and felt good, but Han Fu is not a person with great ambitions, his goal is to hold his own territory, and he mustered up the courage to stop the Montenegrin army from sabotaging a little bloody, the atmosphere eased slightly, Han Fu became a gain and loss again, and he lost the most in the war in Jizhou, so Han Fu also had the sincerity of reconciliation.
Both sides want to resolve the issue peacefully, and it stands to reason that the situation should settle down quickly.
This is not the case.
Everyone chatted happily at the negotiation table, thinking that they would soon be able to collect their own troops, when the confrontational Bohai Navy and the Montenegrin Army suddenly broke out into battle, and at least more than 100 people on both sides were killed and wounded, and the Montenegrin Army suffered a loss. The number of casualties was small, but the atmosphere that had just eased suddenly became tense, which directly affected the process of bilateral negotiations between Israel and Israel.
After the clashes, both the Bohai Navy and the Montenegrin Department claimed that the other side had provoked the fighting.
In such a case, no one will admit that it was the side that provoked the incident, and it is not surprising that they passed the buck to each other afterwards. Zhang Yan and Han Fu didn't pay too much attention to this, when there was such an emergency, it was enough to open their mouths to condemn each other and make the necessary gestures, and everyone continued to talk about how to collect troops.
Finally returning to the negotiating table, serious clashes broke out again between the Montenegrin Army and the Bohai Navy.
This time, it was the Montenegrin army that suffered, with more than 300 dead and wounded.
Zhang Yan was furious and sent a special envoy to the vicinity of Bohai County, strictly ordering the Black Mountain leaders involved not to stir up trouble. Those leaders burst into tears, insisting that the Bohai Navy caused trouble both times, and judging from many details, the actions of the Bohai Navy had been planned for a long time and were intentional, and the Montenegrin Army was forced to fight.
Zhang Yan didn't believe it at first, thinking that the radicals were prevaricating.
It wasn't until the third conflict broke out that he figured out something about it.
The Bohai Navy was indeed deliberately provoking trouble, wanting to prevent the negotiations from coming to an end soon, because of the pressure from the Montenegrin Army, Han Fu resumed his funding for Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao did not want the meal ticket to expire soon, so he frequently provoked incidents; The scale of each conflict is not very large, which is not enough to provoke a full-scale war, but also creates a dangerous situation of tense confrontation at the front and prevents everyone from reaching an agreement, which is where Yuan Shao is clever.
In the final analysis, it is in Yuan Shao's best interest to continue the confrontation.
Zhang Yan remained silent and sent someone to remind Han Fu.
Han Fu actually had doubts in his heart, but he was suffering from no evidence. Zhang Yan's reminder verified his suspicions and revealed the truth.
In order to avoid falling into Yuan Shao's calculations and being stuck in the quagmire and unable to extricate themselves, Han Fu and Zhang Yan reached an agreement privately: the Montenegrin army immediately withdrew from the confrontation area, and in return, the Jizhou government provided Montenegro with a batch of return grain and grass to give the Montenegrin army a step to retreat relatively decently.
The Montenegrin army withdrew from the Bohai border without saying a word, and Yuan Shao sighed, but he was helpless.
After the Montenegrin army retreated, the alarm in Jizhou Mansion was lifted, and Han Fu was bound to continue to trouble Bohai Taishou Mansion.
Of course, Yuan Shao was unwilling to fall back into passivity and took the initiative.
The Bohai Navy secretly left the country and ambushed the retreating Montenegrin Army, this time it was no smaller than the previous few fights, and the Bohai Navy almost poured out, and it is said that there was a certain territorial force to help. Although the nearby Montenegrin army immediately rushed to the rescue after hearing the news and forced the Bohai Navy to retreat, more than half of the casualties of the Montenegrin army in the ambush were extremely heavy.
After the news came out, the various units of the Montenegrin army were furious, and the retreating troops gathered near Bohai County.
Zhang Yan knew that Yuan Shao wanted to stir up the situation and make profits in the chaos, and he should not be led by Yuan Shao's nose, but if such a thing happened, if Zhang Yan forced the troops to retreat, it was likely to provoke a mutiny. Although Zhang Yan was worried, he did not dare to act rashly, but only sent people to secretly contact those leaders who were closer to him and acted cautiously.
The Montenegrin army went and returned, and the most angry person was Han Fu.
He knew that Yuan Shao was deliberately mischievous and wanted to use the Black Mountain Army to touch porcelain, but Han Fu couldn't say it.
He pulled Yuan Shao to resist the Montenegrin Army together, and later reached a withdrawal agreement with Zhang Yan in private, although it was because he found that Yuan Shao deliberately did something and had to do it, but this agreement was reached privately after all, and he did not tell Yuan Shao, nor did he notify the Kwantung princes who sent troops into Jizhou to help the war. Han Fu knew that righteousness was at a loss, and he hoped to concoct the illusion that the Montenegrin Army would take the initiative to withdraw its troops, but Yuan Shao suddenly came ruthlessly, completely angering the Montenegrin Army, Han Fu hated it so much that he didn't dare to complain too much in his mouth.
Not only could he not complain, but he also had to continue to supply Yuan Shao and the other princes with food and grass.
From the beginning of the war of the armies of foreign princes, Han Fu completely lost control of the situation.
Wang Kuang, Bao Xin and Liu Dai were invited by Han Fu and Yuan Shao, if Han Fu exposed his private reconciliation with the Montenegrin Army at this time, he would not be able to explain to Wang Kuang and others. Unless Han Fu does not hesitate to isolate himself from the camp of the Kwantung princes, he can only stand with everyone and fight against the Montenegrin Army.
The Montenegrin army wanted to retaliate against Bohai County, and the troops of Wang Kuang and others immediately entered the Bohai border to assist in defense.
Han Fu burst into tears.
The guest army has moved, how can Han Fu, as the supreme governor of Jizhou, sit back and watch Bohai County be attacked? Han Fu, who was heartbroken, endured the pain and sent troops to Bohai County.
The Montenegrin army and the allied forces of the princes fought several fierce battles, each with casualties.
After more than a month of fighting, the Montenegrin army could not penetrate deep into Bohai County, and the grain and grass gradually ran out, and they were worried that more troops of the Kwantung princes would participate in the war, so they retreated to the Taihang Mountains.
At this point, the large-scale military operation between the Kwantung princes and the Montenegrin army finally came to an end.
The conflict between a player's territory and a certain part of the Montenegrin Army continued to ferment, and finally escalated into a war between multiple princely forces (Zhang Yan was a general in the middle of the peace and managed the mountainous areas of Hebei, so the Montenegrin Army can also be regarded as a princely force), which was unexpected by many people. Throughout the process, several major participating forces had their own plans, and they were divided and combined with each other, which vividly reflected the subtlety and complexity of the current situation in the Kanto region.
Once the war is over, the effects will not dissipate anytime soon.
First, the situation of the Montenegrin army has deteriorated.
It is difficult to fight the autumn wind unscrupulously everywhere as before, and there is almost no need to worry about the resolute resistance of the local government. There is no owner in the Kwantung region, the princes are trying to strengthen their military strength, and no one will continue to tolerate the aggression of the Montenegrin army. In fact, since most of the Kwantung princes had the desire to expand their territory, the territory that had been controlled by the Montenegrin army for a long time was also at risk of being encroached upon by the surrounding princes.
Second, the relationship between Yuan Shao and Han Fu has seriously deteriorated.
Before the outbreak of this war, although Han Fu had been reducing his support for Yuan Shao, hoping to drive Yuan Shao out of Jizhou, the two at least maintained a superficial harmony. This time, in order to protect himself, Yuan Shao forcibly dragged Han Fu into the water by means of means, tearing off the last fig leaf, and at the same time, Han Fu deeply felt the threat of Yuan Shao, and it was impossible for Han Fu to continue to tolerate Yuan Shao's existence in the Bohai Sea, and the hostile relationship appeared.
Third, Yuan Shao completely broke with the Montenegrin army.
Even if Yuan Shao's original intention of attacking the Montenegrin Army was to protect himself, war is war, and the blood flowing will not return to the body, and it is impossible for the lifeless body to stand up again. In particular, he sent troops to ambush the retreating Montenegrin army and killed and wounded a large number of Montenegrin soldiers, indicating that Yuan Shao had completely given up maintaining friendship with Zhang Yan and had completely become an enemy with the Montenegrin army.
After the end of the war, Yuan Shao, as the head of the Guanguan Association, counted the bad deeds of the Montenegrin Army in Hebei over the years, and denounced Zhang Yan as a Zhonglang general, but he was actually a thief. Subsequently, Yuan Shao stood at the height of righteousness, called on the princes of Kwantung to attack it, and said that he would be inseparable from the Montenegrin army from now on.
It is not difficult to see that Yuan Shao has made a big fuss about using the Montenegrin army.
Fourth, it has a direct impact on the situation in Henan.
The war in Jizhou thwarted Gongsun Zhan's plan to go south to Qingzhou.
Yuan Shao did not give Gongsun Zhan a chance to go south, and he was unwilling to give up the Bohai Sea, so he appointed a Qingzhou assassin as the head of Guanasean.
