Chapter 252: A Thousand Miles to Yanzhou
"If the order goes down, we will return to Guangyang County immediately, exterminate Zhang Liao, and hurry up."
Everyone knows that now is not the time to think too much, they need to hurry back to the army, immediately reorganize the army, and regardless of the movements of Lin Sen in the valley, after the army is reorganized, they quickly rush to the city of Zhuoxian, together with the soldiers and horses besieging Zhuoxian, and march to Jixian County together.
The two sides began to urgently communicate the news, the royal family Long Shao and they mainly asked the defenders of Guangyang County to delay time as much as possible, and after Lin Sen exchanged news here, Lin Sen let the army completely open up the valley, he hurriedly went offline, and in reality made a call to the players in the center of Zhang Liao's army, ordering Zhang Liao to withdraw his troops quickly and return to Juyong Pass to hold on, Gongsun Chan has withdrawn his army, if Zhang Liao does not withdraw, it is likely to be wrapped in dumplings.
At this point, for Lin Sen, a crisis has finally passed safely, and the loss is not large, although this move is dangerous, but it has also brought a huge return, Zhuo County, Shanggu, and Dai County were occupied by him, and they all held the key pass, and it was impossible for Gongsun Zhan to regain it.
It's just that Lin Sen wants to capture Jixian County in a short time, and it is impossible to defeat Gongsun Zhan, first of all, not to mention that Gongsun Chan still has more than a million troops waiting for him, that is, the fortifications built by relying on mountains and rivers in Guangyang County are enough for Lin Sen to have a headache, and if he wants to attack him, he doesn't know how many lives will be taken, and the gains outweigh the losses.
Now he occupies one-third of Hebei, the two states and Youzhou, and Gongsun Chan only occupies one-third of Youzhou, he is completely consumed, and when Jizhou recruits new troops and Youzhou hoards to a certain amount, Lin Sen will fight Gongsun Chan again, and now as long as Gongsun Chan does not expand his power.
A few months have passed in the blink of an eye, and it is autumn harvest time again, and Lin Sen has never launched an attack in the past few months. Gongsun Chan was very cautious at first, but saw that Lin Sen had not made any movement for several months. The mood gradually calmed down, and he was tired of years of fighting. Now he is friendly with the powerful family of Youzhou, a wealthy businessman, nominally the lord of Youzhou, under the encouragement of several of his sworn brothers, he also feels that he should enjoy it, and then he lives an arrogant and lascivious life.
There is a saying in Jixian County when the world: Yan Nan hangs, Zhao Beiji, the central is not as big as a stone, and only this can escape the world. Gongsun Chan listened to the analysis of his sworn brothers. He set up his base camp in the place of Yijing, and before the winter came, Linyishui dug dozens of trenches, and built mounds as high as five or six zhang in the trenches, and there were camps on the mounds. The mound in the center of the trench is the highest, as high as more than ten zhang, and Gongsun Chan lives in it, with iron as the door. He ordered his soldiers to plunder everywhere and obtain a large amount of gold and silver treasures. Grain, grass and ordnance were all hoarded in the camp, and he lived the life of the emperor in it.
Lin Sen was very happy when he learned the news. I thought: This Gongsun Chan is still Gongsun Chan after all, once he settles down, he has really taken this step as in history. said to Guo Jia and others: "Gongsun Chan did this. We will be victorious in the spring of the coming year. ”
Winter has begun, and for the northern states it is a truce. No one wants to fight against the cold and snow, and there are too many variables. The outcome is unknown, and Lin Sen is also happy to rest the troops and let the soldiers rest for a few months.
But at this time, Zang Hong came to him!
"Ziyuan, what's going on? I've also thanked you for coming here from Bingzhou! ”
Zang Hong looked very anxious and said, "Please also ask the lord to save Lord Zhang Menggao!" ”
"Oh?" Lin Sen reacted immediately, and with countless players, he really advanced the historical process again, he didn't expect Zhang Miao, Zhang Chao and Chen Gong to turn against Cao Cao so quickly!
Zang Hong looked at Lin Sen and didn't know the reason, and told him about Zhang Miao's rebellion against Cao Cao, and then the defeat and siege, and finally almost swallowed and spoke!
"Pass my order, and the White Horse Yicong and the Qiang cavalry will gather immediately!"
Guo Jia and Fu Zhu hurriedly persuaded: "Lord, we now have a strong enemy of Gongsun Zhan, if we offend Cao Mengde because of this, it will be unwise!" ”
"Don't persuade the two gentlemen, I have to do this, I didn't want to be an enemy of Cao Mengde, but when I was crusading against Dong Zhuo, I was an ally with Zhang Mengzhuo and Zhang Menggao, and I had the friendship of allies, how could I not save them when I saw them in such a big disaster?"
"The lord is righteous and does not forget the old feelings, he is really a model for my generation, and I admire it to the fullest!"
This matter is very urgent, and Lin Sen doesn't want to waste time: "The war in Youzhou is also very tense, although it has entered the autumn and winter, but we still can't slack off, Fengxiao, you stay in Zhuoxian, take charge of the overall situation, and I will let you go south to Yanzhou with me!" ”
After such a long campaign, the Qiang cavalry has been reduced, and only 60,000 of the 100,000 people remained, and Bai Ma Yi was not injured from the beginning, and a total of 70,000 cavalry followed Lin Sen south!
There were also generals Zhao Yun, Dian Wei and Chu Yan with the army, plus Yulin Shenwei and Crazy Thunder Daoist, and a group of more than 70,000 horsemen rushed towards Yanzhou quickly!
On the way, Lin Sen said to Zang Hong: "Ziyuan, in fact, what Feng Xiao and Fu Zhu said is also right, you also know that Zhang Menggao is a rebel against Cao Mengde, and it is reasonable for Cao Mengde to occupy the righteousness to crusade against him, we already have Gongsun Zhan, a strong enemy, we really can't be an enemy with Cao Mengde at this time, we can only try our best to rescue Zhang Menggao and Zhang Mengzhuo on this trip, as for the status of the two of them, I can't guarantee it!" ”
"My subordinates understand that it is a great good thing to be able to rescue Meng Gao!"
As in history, Cao Cao's power expanded rapidly, and he himself was a little inflated, killing a few officials who were not very wrong, just saying bad things about him, so as to annoy Chen Gong, Zhang Miao had long been dissatisfied with Cao Cao's status higher than him, and after the two discussed, they rebelled when Cao Cao crusaded against Tao Qian in Xuzhou, and forced Cao Cao to quickly withdraw his troops from Xuzhou and come back to quell the rebellion!
However, contrary to history, there was no Lu Bu at this time, Cao Cao's power was still very strong, Zhang Miao and Chen Gong were very weak compared to them, and they were quickly defeated by Cao Cao and retreated to Yongqiu, Cao Cao took advantage of the situation to march and surround Yongqiu City, attacking day and night!
"Tell the lord, according to the report from Yanzhou, Cao Cao has broken through Yongqiu City five days ago, and Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao have been wiped out!"
"What!" After Zang Hong heard the news, his head was dizzy and fell directly from the horse, fainting!
At this time, Lin Sen had already arrived in Wei County and was about to enter Yanzhou East County, but at this time, this news came. Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao were defeated too quickly, and he was still late. Sure enough, Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao are still going to die!
After Zang Hong wakes up. Crying loudly, he is the most affectionate person, Zhang Chao has the grace of knowing him, although he is now the assassin of the state, but he has not forgotten Zhang Chao's kindness, but now he has not saved Zhang Chao's life, which makes him heartbroken!
Lin Sen comforted and said: "Ziyuan, don't be sad, since Zhang Menggao has been killed in battle, all we can do is ask Cao Mengde for the corpses of his entire family." Bring it back to Jizhou for burial, in order to make the friendship of the year! ”
After a long time, Zang Hong stopped crying, agreed with Lin Sen's idea, and the group entered Dongjun and marched towards Yongqiu City in Chenliu County!
It's just that Cao Cao already knew that Lin Sen was coming, and he brought nearly 70,000 soldiers and horses, and he didn't know what Lin Sen wanted, so he had to go north to Dongjun to form a defense!
Cao Cao shouted to Lin Sen before the formation: "Brother Lin." What are your intentions in bringing troops to my Yanzhou? ”
Lin Sen retreated left and right, stepped forward with Zang Hongce, and shouted: "Brother Meng De, relax, I didn't come here to fight this time. Just to take Ziyuan to ask Brother Meng De for the corpse of Zhang Menggao's whole family, I hope that Brother Meng De will be fulfilled! ”
Cao Cao was originally unhappy because Lin Sen led troops into Yanzhou for no reason, and at this time, Lin Sen mentioned the matter of rebelling against Zhang Chao. He completely held a grudge against Lin Sen, and the friendship he used to fight side by side was gone. It is said that Cao Cao is suspicious, but in fact, he can't be blamed. Even Zhang Miao, who is regarded as his own brother, can turn his back on him, let alone others!
Lin Sen came here only to ask for Zhang Chao's corpse, this is Zhang Chao has been destroyed, if the battle situation is scorching at this time, Lin Sen's tens of thousands of cavalry will not play a key role, and it is possible to defeat him.
However, he was angry, he had just occupied Yanzhou for only two or three years, and the accumulated soldiers, horses, money and food were far inferior to Lin Sen, and he didn't think that Lin Sen was a mediocre master, and now he was not an opponent with Lin Sen, he still needed to forbear, and it was a good law to work hard to develop his own strength!
"Oh! However, it can't be done, the bodies of the rebel generals Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao have been buried outside Yongqiu City, and they can't be handed over to Ziyuan! ”
Lin Sen looked at Zang Hong, lowered his head and said a few words, and then shouted: "In that case, should Ziyuan and I be allowed to go and worship for a while?" Brother Meng De rest assured, in Xia and Ziyuan only bring his own soldiers to go, the army is stationed here, after worshipping, we will return to Jizhou immediately! ”
Cao Cao felt that this Lin Sen was a little bit inch-by-inch, but after thinking about it, Lin Sen only brought his own soldiers, and he didn't seem to have any intention of plotting against Yanzhou, so he agreed to Lin Sen's request, and worshipped!
Lin Sen and Zang Hong only brought their own soldiers, and Zhao Yun and Dian Wei went together, and the other soldiers and horses stayed in place and were led by Chu Yan to set up a large camp to rest!
Everyone rode quickly to Zhang Chao's cemetery, and Cao Cao prepared a lot of worship materials for Lin Sen and Zang Hong!
Zhang Chao and Zhang Miao's graves are very small, just like ordinary people, Zang Hong looked very sad, crying bitterly in front of the grave, Lin Sen couldn't bear to look at it, turned to Cao Cao and said: "I know that Brother Mengde is a hero of loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, although Brother Zhang Menggao betrayed his brother, but he also had an alliance with us in the past, and I also heard that Brother Mengde and Zhang Mengzhuo were close friends, and I also asked Brother Mengde to remember the friendship of the past, bury Brother Zhang Menggao, and thank Brother Mengde here!" ”
Cao Cao thought about it, he had a bad relationship with Zhang Miao at the beginning, Yuan Shao asked him to kill Zhang Miao several times, he didn't agree, he has always maintained Zhang Miao, and even entrusted his own posthumous affairs to Zhang Miao, and now although Zhang Miao has rebelled, he has died, the dead are respected, and there is an old friendship, he should bury Zhang Miao, in fact, he also regrets a little, he should not have destroyed Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao's whole family, this is really detrimental to his name of benevolence and righteousness, since Lin Sen proposed it, and praised him very highly, he agreed to this, Then re-bury Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao according to the rites of the county guard!
Now that the matter is done, Lin Sen has no reason to stay in Yanzhou, returns to the camp, leads the army to withdraw from Yanzhou, and returns to Ye County!
In fact, in the past few days, there have been Yanzhou player forces trying to persuade Cao Cao to take the opportunity to kill Lin Sen, but what kind of person is Cao Cao, a generation of heroes, how can he do such a stupid thing, now the pattern in the north is that Gongsun Chan is dying, Yuan Shao only occupies two counties, and he has a grudge against Huainan Yuan Shu and Xuzhou Tao Qian, if Lin Sen is robbed and killed again at this time, whether he succeeds or not, he will become the number one enemy of Jizhou, and now he will fight a decisive battle with Jizhou? He wouldn't be so stupid! ……
