Chapter 234: The Arrival of Yuan Qi

When Unomiya Terulie marched to Jiujiang, Zhang Xun, the current number one general under Yuan Bai, had already led an army of 50,000 to be stationed here. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Zhang Xun according to Yuan Bai's order, Ugong Zhaolie mainly defended, and after observing Zhang Xun's military camp, Ugong Zhaolie did not rush to send troops to fight, he also had to carefully calculate, how to use Zhang Xun's power to kill people with a knife, and completely wipe out the 50,000 Yuan Ding army brought by Yan Liang and Wen Chou. Therefore, both sides tacitly agreed that they did not send troops to challenge, and fell into an eerie calm.

Zhang Xun's side is safe for the time being, but Qiao Mao, who is responsible for resisting Yan Liang and Wen Chou, is not so lucky. Before Yan Liangwen Chou set out on the expedition, Yuan Ding told them that he was not allowed to lose in this battle, and he should hit Yuan Bai as much as possible, so as to restore Yuan Ding's already somewhat bad reputation. Maybe Yan Liang and Wen Chou can't understand Yuan Ding's mind very well, but they understand it very well when they are matched by military divisions. In order to eliminate the negative impact of the ambush against Yuan Qi, Yuan Ding must work extra hard when crusading against Yuan Bai, and strive to eliminate Yuan Bai in one fell swoop, so that everyone in the world can see how unswerving Yuan Ding is and how righteous he is to destroy his relatives on the issue of Yuan's orthodoxy.

Under the planning of the trial, Yan Liang and Wen Chou each led 20,000 troops, using the strategy of separate attacks and joint attacks, constantly attacking and harassing Qiao Mao's camp. Later, Qiao Mao simply retreated in the camp, no matter how Yuan Ding's soldiers scolded, he just endured his breath and refused to rise again.

At the same time, Sun Ce of Jiangdong also led his troops to fight with Chen Ji sent by Yuan Bai, Sun Ce was the prince closest to Yuan Bai in his territory, so this battle was for Sun Ce. Occupying the advantage of half of the home field, the deployment of personnel is the best configuration, and the supply of grain and grass is also the shortest route, compared with the other princes, Sun Ce can be said to have taken the advantage. In order to win this battle, or rather, Sun Ce is to occupy the greatest interests in the process of crusading against Yuan Bai, and the elite under his command will do their best. With Cheng Pu and Zhou Tai as the vanguard, Jiang Qin and Chen Wu as the left wing. Gan Jing Lu Su under the command of Yuan Qi was the right wing, the veteran Huang Gai was the rear team, and he personally led more than a dozen generals such as Zhou Yu and Han Dang, as well as seven or eight strategists such as Buqi and Kan Ze for the Chinese army, a total of 45,000 troops killed Ben Shouchun. In addition to Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, Zhuge Jin and others who stayed behind, Sun Ce brought out all the people who could be mobilized.

Therefore, Sun Ce's offensive was also the most fierce way. Chen Ji, who was beaten, was defeated and retreated, and he was about to be unable to withstand it. The sixth Han Xian sent by Yuan Bai served as an inspector. led his troops into the battlefield in time, which saved some of the decline and temporarily preserved Chen Ji's troops from defeat.

Anyway. These three groups of people can be regarded as barely completing the goals set by Yuan Bai before the war, and they can be regarded as dragging Yuan Ding, Yugong Zhaolie and Sun Ce. But the rest of the people failed to complete the task assigned by Yuan Bai. According to Yuan Bai's original plan, he wanted to drag the three military horses. Solve the other crowds as soon as possible. However, Yuan Bai is not stupid, and neither are the others.

Huang Zu sent by Yuan Biao did not come voluntarily, Huang Zu was very selfish, and there was a faint tendency to break away from Yuan Biao and become self-reliant, therefore, all the actions of Huang Zu's army were focused on preserving their own strength, and they did not confront Chen Lan's troops sent by Yuan Bai at all, but adopted attack tactics, constantly sending small groups of people to harass Chen Lan, and after getting a little cheap, he immediately stopped, so that Chen Lan was restrained everywhere, and there was a sense of grievance that could not be exerted by his strength.

And on behalf of Tao Qian's coming to Taishan, not to mention, Taishan's mind is to occupy a piece of territory, take the opportunity to rise as the center, how can he be willing to fight to the death with Yuan Bai's subordinates, who are responsible for blocking their own Lei Bo? What's more, Taishan has gone through more than ten years, and only with the help of Mi Zhu has formed this decent army under his command, it is absolutely impossible for him to let this army be consumed on the battlefield, which is the basis for him to realize his long-cherished wish. If the 6,000 men and horses that he had finally assembled were wiped out, how would Taishan realize the second step of the plan? How could he realize his dream of standing at the pinnacle of power?

Therefore, Taishan is more careful and cautious than Huang Zu. Carrying out a night raid today and robbing grain tomorrow is a completely trick of guerrilla warfare, and the four characters of avoiding the important and taking the light to the extreme have been brought into full play. On the premise of ensuring that his own strength is not damaged, Taishan began the process of his primitive accumulation, in the attack after attack, Taishan bit by bit cannibalized the men and horses of Lei Bo's department, and absorbed the prisoners; little by little consumed the grain and grass of Lei Bo's department, and plundered the materials that could be taken away. In the repeated sneak attacks, instead of suffering losses, Taishan became stronger and stronger.

Under such a background, the whole battle fell into a strange stalemate, and the princes of all walks of life could not completely solve the seven-way army sent by Yuan Bai in a short time, and Yuan Bai's seven-way army could not repel the men and horses of the princes of all walks of life in one fell swoop. This stalemate lasted for more than a month, and it was not until the arrival of a person that this stalemate was broken.

This person is Yuan Qi, and after successfully resolving the affairs of Northern Xinjiang, Yuan Qi appointed Cui Shou as the first Gwangju pastor. After the Yuan Association issued an edict and officially named the area under the jurisdiction of the former Xianbei people as Gwangju, Gwangju was also assigned to the rule of Yuan Qi, and the military and political power of Gwangju was handed over to Yuan Qi. In doing so, Yuan Xie was opposed by dozens of ministers in the DPRK and China, who believed that Yuan Qi had already set a precedent by taking the lead of Youqi and merging and serving as the governor of Youhe and the two states, and one person concurrently held the post of two states, and it was really inappropriate to hand over Gwangju to Yuan Qi's jurisdiction, in that case, it would create a situation in which Yuan Qi's power was too heavy and no one could contend with it.

In this regard, Yuan Xie, who has long been different from what it used to be, immediately refuted, he pointed out that the puppet emperor Yuan Bai, Jizhou Mu, the general Yuan Ding, and Sikong Yugong Zhaolie, each of them held at least one and a half states, but Yuan Bai openly called the emperor, and Yuan Ding and Yugong Zhaolie did not do that, it can be seen that the size of the power in their hands is not the key to promoting ambition, the key is what kind of heart the person who holds the power has. Based on Yuan Xie's understanding of Yuan Qi, he felt that Yuan Qi's heart was fair, and no matter how much power he was given, he would not rebel and would not empty his power.

Moreover, Yuan Xie also clearly knew that although only Yuan Bai was now the only one who was arrogantly claiming the title of emperor. But it doesn't mean that other people don't have such ambitions, among all the princes in the world, there are not a few who hold heavy troops, don't look at Yuan Xie as the Son of Heaven, but when it comes to the military power in his hands, his Yuan Xie's strength can only accompany the last seat, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no second and third Yuan Bai to stand up as the Son of Heaven in the future. Not to mention, Yuan Ding, who was also from the Yuan family like Yuan Bai. is not a good thing, people in the same lineage, there are always striking similarities, Yuan Bai can be called the emperor. Why can't Yuan Ding?

In order to restrain Yuan Ding and other ambitious people, Yuan Xie had no choice but to choose one person among the princes to be his spokesperson. Counterbalance the other princes. And this candidate, there is no doubt that Yuan Qi is the most suitable. First of all. Yuan Qi has the same blood in his body as Yuan Xie, the two are of the same clan and the same clan, even if Yuan Qi finally seized the throne, it is also the descendant of the Yuan family, and the country still has not fallen into the hands of outsiders, of course, Yuan Xie firmly believes that such a situation will never occur, Yuan Xie can feel this in Yuan Qi's body, for many years, Yuan Qi's annual tribute has been transported to the capital through various channels, so that Yuan Xie can support the army and spend money, which is not something that other princes can do.

Based on the above reasons that can be said and cannot be spoken, Yuan Xie resolutely assigned Gwangju to the name of Yuan Qi. Although dozens of ministers opposed this, some far-sighted people still agreed with Yuan Xie's decision. Zhong Xuan, Du Yi, Huang Fuchu and Zhu Huan are among the representatives. They believe that Yuan Qi is not without ambition, but his ambition is rational and within a controllable range, the greater Yuan Qi's power, the brighter the future of the Yuan clan, if one day, the capital suffers from disaster again, the imperial court can also move the capital to Yanjing, based on the three states of You, and Guang, in order to recreate the glory of the past.

As a result, the matter was settled, and Yuan Xie immediately issued an edict granting Yuan Qi the power to adjudicate the military and political power of Gwangju, and Yuan Qi had the final say in the appointment and dismissal of all official positions. However, Yuan Qi's official position, Yuan Xie did not promote it again, after all, the hussar general is already a very popular minister, and if he goes up, he will be canonized as a grand duke or prince, and Yuan Qi's current merits have not yet reached such a prominent level. In addition, Yuan Xie still has a little selfishness, he wants to see Yuan Qi's reaction, to see if Yuan Qi will be dissatisfied because of this, no matter what, it is a great achievement to expand the territory. After being an emperor for a long time, the emperor's mind will work instinctively.

However, Won Ki replied with an action, and he appointed Choi Shou as the pastor of Gwangju and Gongsun Iruyun as the general of the Protector Army, respectively, to manage the political affairs and military affairs of Gwangju. At the same time, he did not have any dissatisfaction, but after settling the affairs of Gwangju, he immediately took Zhao Hu to pick up the 5,000-day return army and sailed south, merging with Sun Ce to jointly crusade against Yuan Bai. Yuan Qi's approach made Yuan Xie feel at ease, but at the same time, he felt a little ashamed, and he regretted that he shouldn't have been suspicious of Yuan Qi. That night, Yuan Xie came to the Taimiao alone, in front of the spiritual seat of the ancestors and ancestors, recalled from the beginning that he and Yuan Qi from the initial acquaintance, to the gradual acquaintance, and then to the final tribulation and sharing all the pictures, Yuan Qi had repeatedly in the Yuan Association when it was in danger, stood up, turned the tide and fell, and saved the Yuan Association in dire straits. This sincere affection made Yuan Xie have a deeper feeling in the process of recalling. Yuan Xie shed tears and swore in front of the spiritual throne of the ancestors and ancestors that in this life and this life, he would never have the slightest doubt about Yuan Qi, and he would work with Yuan Qi to shoulder the heavy responsibility of revitalizing the Yuan Empire.

With the arrival of Yuanqi, the stalemate of the war changed in an instant. The name of Yuanqi's champion Hou is not said with his mouth, but he has accumulated it with countless victories. After learning that Yuan Qi had entered the battlefield, Chen Ji, the general of Yuan Bai's department who was in charge of Sun Ce's way, was immediately distraught, and after discussing with Han Xian, he decided to deal with Yuan Qi with the strategy of retreating ten miles and holding out.

However, just when Chen Ji and Han Xian retreated for ten miles and were just about to set up camp, Yuan Qi led the 5,000-day return army like a divine soldier descending from the sky, taking advantage of the fact that the two generals were not firmly established, with the number of 5,000, they came to a chisel against the Yuan army ten times their own time, and in the process of chiseling, they also burned the grain and grass of Chen Ji and Han Xianam, so that Yuan Bai's army fell into chaos.

This is not the end, when Yuan Qi led the army to complete a chisel and roar by, Sun Ce appeared again. He personally led 10,000 troops as the left flank, and Gan Jing led 10,000 troops as the right flank, and with Yuan Qi's chiseling, he once again dealt a heavy blow to Yuan Bai's army commanded by Chen Ji. Chen Ji couldn't resist it, so he and Han Qu gathered their men and continued to retreat. On the way to retreat, the second general was ambushed by Zhou Yu, Cheng Pu and other eight famous Jiangdong generals, and the 60,000 troops who killed Yuan Bai lost their armor and abandoned their armor, and in the end, only less than 20,000 people were left under the leadership of Chen Ji and Han Xianam, and they were defeated and returned to Shouchun.
