Chapter 68: Coming to control Jizhou
"Therefore, the subordinates are sure that the Yellow Turban will never surrender to the imperial court. Guo Tu glanced at Xu You sarcastically and said.
"The subordinates of this matter feel that Guo Junshi is right. Feng Ji also stood up and agreed.
At the beginning of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Yuan Shao also led troops to suppress it, and naturally knew that the Yellow Turban's resentment towards the imperial court was like a life and death enemy.
But no matter how smart Yuan Shao and the others were, they couldn't imagine that what the Yellow Turban hated most was not the imperial court, but the scholars.
After all, it is the family that corrupts the fortunes of the Han Dynasty.
And Liu Xie's court will no longer be ruthless to the Yellow Turban Army, as long as they surrender, then they will belong to Liu Xie's people.
"Benzhou Mu also feels that this is the case, and the yellow turban will definitely not be attached to the imperial court anymore. Yuan Shao thought about it and said.
"Think twice, this matter is not that simple. Xu You persuaded again.
"Okay, there is no need to persuade again, the Yellow Turban is like a life and death enemy to the imperial court, and it is impossible to be attached to it anymore, now let's discuss how to deal with the offensive of the coalition army. Yuan Shao waved his hand, stopping Xu Yu from continuing to say more.
"Alas. Seeing this, Xu You could only shake his head helplessly, and his heart was full of uneasiness.
"Since the Yellow Turbans have already moved their troops, the state pastor cannot but express his words, and order all counties and the Yellow Turban Army to replenish their grain and grass along the way, and there must be no mistake. Yuan Shao ordered.
As everyone knows, it was this order that hastened Yuan Shao's own downfall.
Qinghe County is in the real throat center of Jizhou, but it is also the safest state and county in Jizhou today, because there is Yan Liang in the west to guard, Wen Chou in the south, and Yuan Shao's base camp Bohai County in the east, so for this throat area, although Yuan Shao values it, he did not send too many soldiers and horses to sit in the town, but only left 10,000 soldiers and generals Chun Yuqiong to sit in the town.
And at the moment.
Zhang Yan led the 100,000 troops under his command and was slowly approaching the county seat of Qinghe.
"Qu Shuai, can it be done?" beside Zhang Yan, a yellow turban general asked worriedly.
"General Tiangong has already dispatched me five hundred Yellow Turban Warriors, and with the strength of the Yellow Turban Warriors, it is enough to capture this Qinghe County Guard. Zhang Yan looked at the county town in front of him and said.
"I'll go in with Qu Shuai later, and I'll take care of it. The yellow turban said.
"With your courage to manage Hai, it is easy to take down a mere Chun Yuqiong. Zhang Yan smiled at the young generals beside her.
"Qu Shuai has won the award. Guan Hai replied respectfully.
After the Yellow Turban army approached Qinghe County.
The gate of Qinghe City suddenly opened, and a single cavalry quickly rushed out of the city and rushed towards Zhang Yan and them.
"Dare to ask, but General Zhang Yan. When he came to the front of the Yellow Turban army, the cavalryman asked.
"Not bad. Zhang Yan also replied with a fist.
"The lord has an order, the general's army can be replenished in the city to replenish grain and grass, please leave the brigade of foot soldiers outside the city, and lead some foot soldiers into the city to carry food. The cavalryman said respectfully.
"This Yuan Shao is interesting, in order to let me work for them in the yellow scarf, it is also out of the way. β
Hearing this, Zhang Yan smiled coldly in her heart.
"Ben will bring 500 foot soldiers into the city, and the rest will stand by in place. Zhang Yan said loudly.
"Yes. β
Many Yellow Turbans said in unison.
"Please come with me, General. This cavalry of the Yuan army immediately rode his horse and turned around, leading Zhang Yan into the city.
Not for a while.
In the city of Cheongha-gun.
Chun Yuqiong waited in the city with a small group of cavalry, perhaps because of Yuan Shao's order, so he did not guard against Zhang Yan.
"Presumably, Your Excellency is General Zhang Yan, one of the Yellow Turban Commanders, and I am fortunate to meet you. When Chun Yuqiong saw Zhang Yan, she immediately rode a horse to her.
didn't see the dark joy in Zhang Yan's eyes, and there was a fierce light.
When I entered the city before, I was thinking about how to get close to Chun Yuqiong and take him down, but now he sent it to the door by himself, God really helped me.
"Guan Hai. β
Such a good opportunity, how could Zhang Yan let it go, and immediately drank the order.
"No. β
Guan Hai's eyes suddenly lit up with a fierce light, and he held a long knife in his hand and slashed towards the unsuspecting Chun Yuqiong.
"You..." Chun Yuqiong was shocked, and before she could react, she was beheaded with a knife, and her body was in a different place, mainly because Guan Hai's knife was too fast.
"Bold, you actually assassinate the general, up. β
When Chun Yuqiong's guards saw this scene, although they were panicked, they all rushed towards Zhang Yan.
"Not a single one remains. Zhang Yan ordered coldly.
"Kill. β
Five hundred Yellow Turban wrestlers, the key to Zhang Jiao's foothold at the beginning should be the use of the secret method in the legendary Taiping Technique, five hundred people are enough to resist thousands of people.
Move together and kill Chun Yuqiong's personal guards who are only a few hundred.
Almost in an instant, the battle ended.
The gates of the city became a land of corpses, pools of blood.
"Ordered the army to enter the city and take control of the Qing River. β
"All the soldiers of Yuan, those who do not surrender, will be killed. Zhang Yan ordered in a cool voice.
The 100,000 troops that had originally stopped outside the city also quickly marched and rushed into the city.
It didn't take long for it to be announced that Qinghe City had changed hands and was controlled by Zhang Yan.
In this battle, it was almost bloodless, and the city was attacked with strategy.
"Mr. Xi's strategy is really powerful, he took the throat of Jizhou without losing a single soldier, and sure enough, none of the Son of Heaven's subordinates are ordinary people. "Understated to take a county town, even Zhang Yan didn't expect it, and then there was awe of Liu Xie.
"Next, it's time to send the news to the imperial army in Jizhou, the general attack can begin, Yuan Shao will also be destroyed, my Yellow Turban will be a gift to the Son of Heaven with Yuan Shao's family, thank him for forgiving my Yellow Turban crimes." Zhang Yan thought secretly.
The screen turns.
LΓΌ Bu now occupies the city of Hejian.
"Feng Xian, the time has come to mobilize troops. Jia Xu said excitedly.
"What good news did the military advisor get?" Lu Bu also asked with a smile.
"The Yellow Turban Army was persuaded by His Majesty's will to submit to obedience, and now it has taken the throat of Jizhou Qinghe for His Majesty, the throat is stuck, and the road of our army's raid on Guangping is fully open, and then Yuan Shao will inevitably let the generals stationed in the counties return to help, and the coalition forces of the princes from all walks of life can take advantage of the situation to encircle and suppress, encircle Guangping, and decide Jizhou in a war. Jia Xu said excitedly.
Liu Xie gave Lu Bu three months that day, and now that the war has only been half a month, the battle is about to end, but this is a surprise they are about to give Liu Xie.
"Yes, yes. β
"The military advisor is strategizing, and the next opportunity to beat the water dogs has come. Lu Bu smiled excitedly.
"Immediately attack Guangping County, and order all the princes to drag the army of Yuan Shao's generals to the death, and strive to annihilate it in one step. Jia Xu said coldly.
The Son of Heaven trusted him and gave him the right to fight Jizhou, and he would not disappoint Liu Xie.
