Chapter 1214 The Death of Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng

Chapter 1212: The Death of Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng

The person who most wanted Bai Qi to leave and merge with the four southern counties was naturally Wang Mang who hid in the deep mountains and old forests.

It can be said that Wang Mang lost all his family fortune this time, but he did not escape from Bingzhou like a bereaved dog, because before he left, he had to count Qin Hao one last time.

Wang Mang now has only a few hundred soldiers in his hands, and it is basically impossible to pose a threat to the rule of the Qin army, and his only chance is to wait for Bai Qi to leave with the main force, and provoke the [-] prisoners in the prisoner-of-war camp to rebel. The county will be in chaos again, and he will be able to take advantage of the situation.

But as long as Bai Qi's 10,000+ Qin army is stationed in Bingnan, Wang Mang is doomed to have no chance, but he also guessed that Bai Qi will definitely lead the army away soon.

Now that the war in Hetao is tight, it is impossible for Qin Hao to put 10,000+ elites idle in Bingnan, and once Qin Hao transfers Bai Qi's main force away, Wang Mang's opportunity will come.

Therefore, Wang Mang and his men waited quietly for Bai Qi to leave and go south while avoiding the capture of the Qin army.

Huang Tian pays off.

Just half a month after hiding in the deep mountains, when Wang Mang and others were about to become savages, Bai Qi finally led the army to leave Bingzhou, and Wang Mang started his final plan. Of course, he himself would not take the risk of participating.

"How about it?"

Wang Mang looked at the returning general and asked expectantly, "Did you succeed?"

"My lord, Su Dingfang seemed to have expected that we would go back, so he set up an ambush in advance. Not only did he easily suppress the riot in the prisoner-of-war camp, but even our remaining manpower was depleted."

"what?"

Wang Mang's pupils shrunk and he clenched his fists unconsciously. He had tried his best to overestimate Su Lie, but he didn't want to underestimate Su Lie in the end. In the early days when Su Lie beat him with an army of [-] in Chaoge City, his ass was pissed, and now it is even more ruined. His final plan, Wang Mang never had any chance.

Looking at the few wounded soldiers behind the general, Wang Mang sent out more than 300 soldiers, but in the end, only less than 10 people came back.

"Ugh……"

After Wang Mang sighed, he said in a deep voice, "Forget it, since there is nothing we can do, let's leave Bingzhou. Let's go to Jizhou and join Chen Youliang."

Seeing this, Chen Qingzhi couldn't help laughing and said: "Mr. Wang Mang is a great talent, my lord will definitely use you again."

Chen Qingzhi, Chen Baxian, and Ju Wuba did not participate in this operation. After all, Wang Mang also knew the danger of this trip, so naturally he would not let the few remaining people under his command take the risk.

Chen Youliang's 1 troops that aided Wang Mang were completely thrown away by Chen Qingzhi. This was a huge mistake, but if Chen Qingzhi could take Wang Mang, a wise man, and Jumbo, who is a strong general, back to his home If you add the camp, you can barely make up for it.

"A bereaved dog dare not ask extravagantly, but it is enough to ask Mr. Chen to give me a place to live."

Wang Mang said with a wry smile, but he was extremely disdainful in his heart. Naturally, he couldn't sincerely surrender to Chen Youliang.

A month later, Wang Mang and others went through mountains and rivers, and after going through all kinds of hardships, they finally entered the border of Jizhou. But when they were about to join Chen Youliang, they received a very shocking news... Chen Youliang died.

"What? It's absolutely impossible."

Chen Baxian grabbed the collar of the soldier who came back from inquiring about the news, and shouted in disbelief: "My lord occupies Qinghe and other two counties, and has more than [-] soldiers. How could it be possible to be defeated so quickly?"

Seeing this, Wang Mang hurried forward and pulled Chen Baxian away, and said: "Brother Baxian, calm down, listen to him first before talking."

Chen Baxian couldn't help but regain his composure after hearing the words, but after listening to the soldier's explanation, everyone couldn't help showing a look of shock.

Ever since Yuan Shao and Han Fu launched their respective armies to attack Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng, they have won many battles and are invincible, especially Han Xin's side, who obviously has not as many troops as Zhang Shicheng, but they crushed Zhang Shicheng almost all the way.

Although Yuan Shao's results were much inferior to Han Xin's, Chen Youliang did not dare to fight outside the city. The battle was about to be stalemate, but at this time the Ming army suddenly sent troops to attack Zhang Shicheng and Chen Youliang's rear.

This time, Emperor Ming personally led the army, Prime Minister Zhang Liang served as the military adviser, Yue Xi, Li Jin, Yu Ziqi, Zhong Limei and others were the generals, and even [-] troops were transferred back from Longyang in Huguan, and a total of [-] troops were dispatched. The troops were divided into two groups, and went straight to the vital points of Zhang Shicheng and Chen Youliang.

Under the command of Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng, there were also many old generals from the Yellow Turban period, and many of them were devoted to the Ming Dynasty. Seeing the Ming army making a comeback, they surrendered without resisting.

Under Emperor Ming's personal action, the main forces of Zhang Shicheng and Chen Youliang were on the front line to resist Yuan Shao and Han Xin, so that the troops in the rear were so weak that they couldn't stop Ming's invasion at all.

Soon, the Ming army seized nearly half of the territory of both sides, and Zhang Shicheng accidentally fell into Zhang Liang's ambush plan on the way back to the aid. under the heart.

After Wang Shichong, another Yellow Turban traitor, Zhang Shicheng, was killed by Ming Dynasty.

After Zhang Shicheng's death, Chen Youliang also fell into a situation of fighting alone. There was Yuan Shao in the front and Daming in the back, and most of the territory had already fallen. His defeat was obviously just around the corner.

However, Chen Youliang did not die at the hands of the Ming army, nor did he die at the hands of Yuan Shao. Chen Youliang died at the betrayal of his own people, and the person who betrayed him was none other than Xiao Yan.

Under the pincer attack of Yuan Shao and Emperor Ming, Chen Youliang was destined to be unable to hold on for too long, but Chen Youliang was determined to stick to it, preferring to die rather than surrender again, but Xiao Yan and other important officials were unwilling to be buried with Chen Youliang.

In the middle of the night, Xiao Yan launched a mutiny and killed Chen Youliang after taking away the military power, and then surrendered to Yuan Shao with an army of tens of thousands and Chen Youliang's head.

After all, Xiao Yan belonged to Chen Youliang's clan, and Chen Youliang's status as a Yellow Turban traitor made Xiao Yan doomed not to join Daming, so the only choice Xiao Yan had was Yuan Shao.

After Xiao Yan surrendered, Yuan Shao not only added officials to Xiao Yan, but also made him continue to command the soldiers under his command. It can be said that he treated Xiao Yan extremely kindly.

With the deaths of Zhang Shicheng and Chen Youliang, the forces of Qinghe Army and Changshan Army also disappeared, and half of their territory was captured by Han Fu and Yuan Shao, and the other half was captured by Daming in Taihang.

So far, the situation in Jizhou has also entered a three-legged confrontation from a melee between the top four.

Among them, Yuan Shao occupies the largest territory, owning nearly half of Jizhou.

Han Fu was next, occupying one-third of Jizhou.

Daming is the weakest, occupying only one-sixth of Jizhou's territory, but Daming's strength is no weaker than any other.
