Chapter 56: Two counties in a row
Liu Bao saw that it was Liaodong Liu He's reinforcements that had arrived, and now that he was facing death, he decisively withdrew.
After all, before, the Xiongnu, Xianbei, and Wuhuan attacked Liaodong together, but they all failed, and the Xiongnu had begun to fear Liu He's greedy wolf army.
Xue Rengui saw Liu Bao withdrawing his troops, and he also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, in fact, the 20,000 cavalry was not so fast, but Xue Rengui was worried about Gaoliu County, and then rushed over directly with the pro-army.
And Liu Bao was scared in the face of Xue Rengui's arrows, and when he heard the sound of reinforcements, he felt that the reinforcements were really coming, so he hurriedly withdrew.
Zhao Yun thought that the army was really coming so soon, so he hurriedly went to see Xue Rengui, and only after seeing Xue Rengui and the hundreds of people behind him did he know the truth.
"Brother Xue, if it's really powerful, the three arrows will directly scare the Huns away." Zhao Yun looked at Xue Rengui and sighed.
Zhao Yun and Xue Rengui took the dragon to ride to the gate of Gaoliu County, waiting for Tian Yu to open the city gate.
After a while, Tian Yu directly opened the city gate with the remaining hundreds of people, and said to Zhao Yun: "Zilong, it's good to have you today, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to hold Gao Liu."
Zhao Yun saw that it was Tian Yu who was guarding the city gate, no wonder he was able to hold on for so long, and he also admired Tian Yu very much, and said: "Brother Guo let (Tian Yu's character), I haven't seen you for a long time, fortunately there are you in Gaoliu County, otherwise I'm afraid the Huns would have come in a long time ago, and I will replace the people of the county to thank Brother Guo for guarding the city gate."
When Tian Yu heard Zhao Yun say this, he hurriedly said: "General Gongsun abandoned the city and left, but I am a native of Yuyang, Youzhou, how can I let the Huns enter my Youzhou and kill the people at will."
Zhao Yun also nodded, he also took the initiative to follow Xue Rengui because of this, even if it was for Liu He, he was willing.
After that, Tian Yu looked at Xue Rengui and said, "This is the soldier who shot out the three-star bead just now, and now he is under the command of Yan Hou?"
Zhao Yun saw Tian Yu asking about Xue Rengui, and hurriedly introduced to Tian Yu: "Brother Guorang, this is Xue Rengui, the general under the command of Yan Hou, Brother Xue, this time Yan Hou sent him and 20,000 cavalry to protect Dai County."
"Brother Xue is proficient in military affairs, if he hadn't come over first and let the army follow, the Huns would not have retreated so quickly, and Xue Rengui's three-star Lianzhu is afraid that few people in the world can do it."
Tian Yu looked at Xue Rengui and heard Zhao Yun say this, plus he should have shot three arrows just now, and he felt admiration in his heart for a while.
Xue Rengui didn't say anything, just waited for Tian Yu to let them in, after all, Tian Yu was still Gongsun Zhan's people, Dai County, Shanggu County They wanted to be under their command, but if they didn't have Tian Yu's support, they couldn't take it for a while.
After a long time, Tian Yu hurriedly asked the soldiers to let go, and Xue Rengui saw Tian Yu give way, smiled, and nodded.
"Canglong ride, enter the city!"
With Xue Rengui's order, the three thousand dragon riders walked neatly, and even the horses' hooves were the same, which made Tian Yu and the defenders even more convinced.
Zhao Yun saw Canglong riding into the city, pulled Tian Yu, looked at him and said: "Now, General Gongsun has retreated to Yuyang, Daijun, and Shanggu, the two counties may have to be ceded to Yanhou, what do you think?"
Tian Yu looked up at the figures of Canglongqi and Xue Rengui, sighed, and thought of what Gongsun Zhan said to him when he left: "Now that Liu He is powerful, Daijun, Shanggu can't be left in the hands of the Xiongnu, it's enough."
The other Gongsun Chan didn't say anything, they just let them choose by themselves, after all, Gongsun Chan can't take care of so much now.
Most of the people of Takayanagi had already evacuated to other safe counties, and those who were left behind were some old people who were strong or unwilling to leave, and they also welcomed such a neat army.
After Xue Rengui entered the city, he took Canglong to the county mansion, and then went to meet Tian Yu in person, wanting to propose to bring the county and Shanggu under his command.
After all, now Tian Yu is the supreme commander of these two counties, and with Tian Yu's support, they don't need too much time.
Hearing Xue Rengui's invitation, Tian Yu just wanted to go, but at this time, Qiu Ning, the general beside him, said to Tian Yu: "General, I'm afraid this invitation is a Hongmen banquet, and the general can't go easily."
When Tian Yu heard this, he showed a displeased look, could it be that there are still people who don't want Yanhou's army to manage Daijun now?
However, from this point of view, Gongsun Chan may have lost the support of the people, but there are still many soldiers in the army who recognize it.
That's it now, Tian Yu looked at Qiu Ning, showing an unbearable expression, he already felt that he had followed Liu He, and naturally wanted to dedicate these two counties to Liu He.
But this general is still loyal to Gongsun Zhan, and something may happen in the future, at this time Tian Yu hesitated, if it was an ordinary person, he might directly kill Xue Rengui, but this is a hero who is willing to stay and fight against the Huns.
Tian Yu couldn't bear to kill him like this, so he gave a few glances to his cronies in the body, asking them to catch this general Qiu Ning and let Xue Rengui deal with it.
The two cronies walked up to Qiu Ning and caught him, and Qiu Ning immediately knew Tian Yu's choice, and didn't say anything, just stared at Tian Yu with his eyes, and he was unwilling in his heart.
He Qiu Ning used to be under the command of Bai Ma Yicong, and he was naturally loyal to Gongsun Zhan, but Tian Yu was not, in a sense, Tian Yu was still Gongsun Zhan's abandoned son.
Tian Yu came directly to Gaoliu County Mansion, and when he saw Xue Rengui coming out to greet him in person, he was also excited, just from seeing Xue Rengui, he knew that he was a handsome talent, and he was at most a general, so he hoped that Xue Rengui could pay attention to him.
Before Xue Rengui could speak, Tian Yu took more than a dozen people around him, knelt down on one knee directly, hugged his fists and said: "General Xue, please also act as Yanhou to protect the people of Daijun and Shanggu County, they are also the people of Youzhou and the people under Yanhou."
Xue Rengui showed a satisfied smile, he was able to get Tian Yu's support, and he believed that in a few days, these two counties would be able to be taken directly, and the two counties would add up to more than 200,000 people.
In fact, these two counties are at war with the Xiongnu and Xianbei all the year round, so the population is relatively small, but the people are fierce, and they are very suitable for conscription as a source of troops.
Soon, Yan Rou came to Gaoliu with 20,000 greedy wolf cavalry, and Xue Rengui immediately asked Yan Rou and Tian Yu to represent the county, and all places under the command of Shanggu County were planted with the banner of Yanhou Liu He.
Yan Rou didn't expect that as soon as she arrived, she could directly take the two counties, and she still didn't need a single soldier to get the two counties for nothing.
Led by Tian Yu, the defender of Dai County, the county commanders from all over the Dai County defected to Liu He, but they also encountered county orders loyal to Gongsun Zhan.
There are a total of 8 counties in Shanggu County, and there are three counties in order to repay Gongsun Zhan's kindness, and they would rather die than obey, and Tian Yu had no choice for a while.
The county soldiers of one of the counties took the initiative to kill the county order and surrendered out of the city, but two other counties kept them out of the city.
Yan Rou saw that the persuasion was fruitless, and with the consent of Tian Yu and Xue Rengui, he directly ordered the siege of the city, beheaded the county commanders of these two counties, and most of the county soldiers surrendered.
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, unless it was a county that resisted the attack, the county soldiers in the general county were only more than 200 people, so Yan Rou broke through the attack and successfully won the two counties.
