Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turbans finally revolt

Chapter 434 Breaking through Yangzhai, the death of Xun Jian

When Chunyu Qiong heard this, he immediately thought that this was a tactic to attack the west, but he was not sure, because the east gate was also under fierce attack, and Liu Qing's soldiers and horses had already reached the top of the wall, it did not look like a feint attack at all.

"Li Sima, send me an order to quickly mobilize the soldiers and horses in the city to support the west of the city. If the west of the city is lost, then you are asking!" Chunyu Qiong said urgently.

Li Sima went down to the top of the wall again, looking for reinforcements, Chunyu Qiong looked down the wall again, the new siege soldiers had already begun to climb the wall, the pressure on the top of the wall suddenly increased, two soldiers with swords jumped up to the top of the wall together, Towards Chunyu Qiong, he was slashing with knives.

Chunyu Qiong immediately took two steps back, moved to one side, and slashed one of them to the ground with a sword, while the other was cut down by Yuan Jun who rushed up, but the next moment, two more people jumped out and charged at Yuan Jun, caught off guard. Cut several Yuan Jun to the ground.

Chunyu Qiong was shocked when he saw this, even the top of the city in front of him was breached, and looking at the top of the city, there was a steady stream of Liu Qingjun climbing up.

"Hold me, kill me!" Chunyu Qiong yelled, and personally entered the battle circle.

While the fierce battle for the top of the city was going on at the east gate, a fierce battle broke out at the top of the west gate. However, although the battle was fierce, Yuan Jun's losses were a bit heavier. It seemed that Li Sima was constantly mobilizing troops to defend the west gate. , Simon is still facing tremendous pressure.

Compared with Chen Liujun who was attacking the east of the city, the camp led by Gao Shun was not a little stronger in combat power. They had shields in their hands as protection, and they were not afraid of all bows and crossbows when they climbed the city. Small stones can also withstand it. Therefore, the garrison in the west of the city is quite useless. After meeting each other, Gao Shun led his men to kill the city.

Li Sima's reinforcements continued to rush to fight for the top of the city. The scene was very strange, as if Yuan Jun was the one attacking the top of the city.

Gao Shun killed several Yuan Jun with his own hands. Looking into the city, several soldiers and horses were moving towards this place. If he rushed to the city at this time, he would be surrounded by Yuan Jun easily. You, being in a tight siege is also troublesome.

"Defend according to the city, don't go down the city!" Gao Shun ordered.

Since Yuan Jun wanted to regain the top of the city, he would occupy a favorable position and fight another wave to consume Yuan Jun's vital strength.

Soon, the news that the head of the west city had been lost reached Chunyu Qiong's ears.

Chun Yuqiong wasn't too surprised. He had seen the fighting power of King Bohai's soldiers and horses before. If he continued to personally lead troops to aid the west of the city, the east gate would also fall.

The problem in front of him is that even if he is here, the top of the city here may not be able to hold.

The first day of fighting was so bad, Chunyu Qiong knew in his heart that Yangdi was no longer something he could hold.

If they can evacuate and retreat to Juntai, there is still hope for Yingchuan. If all the soldiers and horses are lost in Yangdi, then Yingchuan will really be lost.

Chunyuqiong gritted his teeth, grabbed the former army Sima, and said, "You are in charge of defending the east gate, and if the west gate is about to be lost, I'll go and have a look!"

Sima nodded repeatedly.

Chunyu Qiong immediately dragged the two Sima on the left and right, and went down to the city.

Zuo Sima hurriedly asked: "General, how is the battle at Ximen?"

"It's almost impossible to hold on." Chunyu Qiong said.

"Then let's hurry there!" You Sima said hastily.

"No!" Chunyu Qiong retorted immediately, and made a decision that shocked the two of them.

"This city can no longer be defended for a long time. I want to evacuate the city and preserve my vitality."

The left and right Sima looked at each other, but didn't react for a while.

"The two of you take the soldiers and horses of the headquarters, evacuate from the north and south gates respectively, and gather at Juntai."

"General, what about you?" Zuo Sima asked.

Chunyu Qiong sighed, and said, "I have to evacuate the soldiers from the west gate and east gate, no matter how many."

When the two Sima heard this, they said anxiously: "No, general. If you don't evacuate in time, you may be in danger!"

"Just obey orders!" Chunyu Qiong said resolutely, watching the two leave, he couldn't help but sigh.

Soon, Xu Huang at the east gate discovered that Yuan Jun at the head of the city had retreated. At the same time, he received a report that Yuan Jun was fleeing from the south gate.

"It seems that Yuan Jun is planning to give up Yangdi, and it's a dream to evacuate so easily!" Xu Huang immediately ordered: "The cavalry obey the order and attack with me!"

The East Gate offensive was progressing smoothly, there was no feint attack, and the victory was a foregone conclusion. Xu Huang planned to personally lead the cavalry to pursue Yuan Jun. Otherwise, if he escaped, the victory of Yingchuan would still be hindered.

Gao Shun at the west gate stood guard, but suddenly there were no new Yuan Jun, and even the old ones started to run away. Gao Shun immediately judged that Yuan Jun had withdrawn. Gao Shun could not help but lead his army into the city.

Sure enough, there was no resistance along the way, and Yuan Jun's conjecture of retreating was confirmed.

Gao Shun didn't even go to the mansion, but went directly to Xun's house.

A group of soldiers and horses appeared in front of Xun's house, and the door was closed tightly. Gao Shun was surprised to find that the white lapel was hanging on the door.

Gao Shun immediately had a bad premonition, and hurriedly knocked on the door.

The person who opened the door was an old man, with a tired and haggard look on his forehead, looking at Gao Shun vigilantly. Apparently, he had seen a lot of people in armor visiting the door in the past few days. The purpose, most likely, was for food, to survive. The Patriarch was so angry that he vomited blood, so the old man didn't have a good face.

Gao Shun cupped his hands and said politely: "Old man, the last general Gao Shun, come to see Mr. Xun."

The old man's eyes froze suddenly, and he stared blankly at Gao Shun.

"You said you were General Gao Shun?"

Gao Shun nodded naturally, but the old man threw himself to the ground immediately, crying, "General, you are late, the Patriarch has...already gone."

"What? You said old man...why?" Gao Shun asked, but he couldn't help but think of Yuan Jun.

The old man sighed, "The general will follow me."

As he walked, the old man said, "There are not many people living in the house, and most of the clan members have moved to their former residences, leaving us a few old bones. Looking at this property, last night Chunyu Qiong came to find the main food in his hometown, and something happened. Dispute, Chunyu Qiong wanted to seize food and grass, the old Patriarch was so angry that he vomited blood, and left last night, I will take you to see Xiaochun, the old Patriarch has left you a message."

Soon, Gao Shun was brought to the mourning hall. At this time, there were only a dozen people sitting in the hall, most of them were old people. The old man went up to say a few words, and a very young person came over.

"But General Gao Shun?" Xiaochun asked.

"Exactly."

"Before the head of the family left, he left a batch of food for the general, and I will take the general to collect it."

Just as Xiaochun was about to leave, Gao Shun stopped him and said, "Wait a minute, I'll pay respects to Mr. Xun."

The Xun family is a big house, with one layer upon another, and once one enters, there are a thousand people in the Xun family including vassals. However, what Gao Shun feels at this moment is only desolation and desolation.

After the salute, Gao Shun silently followed Xiao Chun. On the way, Xiao Chun suddenly asked, "General Gao, where is Chun Yuqiong's thief?"

"I escaped from the city, and General Xu Huang went after him."

"But he must be brought back, he will be hacked into pieces!" Xiaochun said angrily.

Gao Shun was also from a noble family. Although he was not a noble family, he also knew something about the situation in Yingchuan. The head of the Xun family should be respected by all the families.

It can be seen how rude and rebellious it was for Chunyu Qiong to threaten her with troops yesterday. The old man was not in good health, and he was so angry...

"Brother, don't worry, the sky is big and the earth is big, there is absolutely no place for this person!"

"With the general's words, the head of the family, Quanxia, ​​knows and appreciates it." Xiaochun said.

After going through a series of gates, finally, Xiaochun brought Gao Shun into a gate.

Although it was very dark inside, he could see a gleam of light penetrating from the top. With the help of the faint light, what Gao Shun saw was a mountain of grain.

Even he, who has seen the big world, was a little shocked by the huge amount of food.

"General, these grains and grasses are dedicated to King Bohai by the Patriarch."

"The last general thanked the old man on behalf of the lord." Gao Shun bowed his hands and respected the sky, pointing to Xun Jian's spirit in the sky, "I will report the old man's death to the lord immediately. Yingchuan will be protected by the King!"

The battle of Yangdi came to an end, Chunyu Qiong fled to the south, Xu Huang led his cavalry to pursue, Gao Shun rested in the city for three days, caught some fish that slipped through the net of Yuan Jun, and then set off here.

……

Liu Qing looked at Gao Shun's urgent report, and glanced at Xun Yu calmly.

Sighing, he still said, "Wen Ruo, Mr. Boci... has passed away."

Xun Yu was much calmer than Liu Qing imagined. It is not difficult to deduce that Xun Jian's death during the war must have something to do with the battle of Yangzhai, but Xun Yu said: "Uncle is old and sick. If you get rid of the entanglement, you will be free from the pain and suffering."

Liu Qing is also happy to see this thought, but the ancients expressed filial piety very directly. Although Xun Jian is not the father of Xun Yu, but as the head of the previous generation, he is in charge of the Xun family. It can be said that he is the old father of the entire Xun family. Xun Yu was afraid that he was hiding it deeply, and he didn't want to let himself see his sad emotions.

"After this battle, I will order Xu Huang to sit in Yingchuan. Wen Ruo, your heroic nephew who lives abroad, should he go back?"

Liu Qing's intention was obvious. He wanted Xun Yu's nephew, Xun You, to return to Yingchuan, assist Xu Huang in Yingchuan, and at the same time take care of the Xun family. On the other hand, he was also telling Xun Yu that he couldn't do without him.

Xun Yu was very calm, and cupped his hands and said: "I know, so I will write a book and tell you about it. My lord, is there anything else you want to discuss?"

Listening to Liu Qing's words, it seemed that Xun Yu's subtext was: If it's okay, I'll go back and cry first.

"It's nothing, you can go back and have a rest first." Liu Qing said, and if there was anything, he would discuss it with Guo Jia Tianfeng.

"I retire!"

After Xun Yu left, Guo Jia spoke leisurely.

"My lord, in fact, if the text shows that the calmer it is, the pain in my heart will be like a knife."

"Hey, this king doesn't know, so I can only give him a vacation. In the past few days, you two have worked hard."

It was rare for Guo Jia to be serious, and together with Tian Feng, he said, "Don't worry, my lord."

With the progress of the wars in various places, the battles became anxious, especially after the battle in Wu County started, the progress was not smooth. Liu Qing naturally knew the reason: there were no strong soldiers, and they acted as sharp knives to defeat the enemy.

Although Tai Shici, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei are all top-notch fighters, on the real battlefield, it is impossible for them to kill an army by one person, let alone capture a city by one person. Qingzhou Army and Liu Bei Army are still far behind.

The tricky thing is that the most elite ace cavalry in Liu Qing's hands is beyond the reach of the battle on the other side of the river.

Unexpectedly, he encountered a problem that Boss Cao encountered more than ten years later.

"What do you think of the war in Wu County?" Liu Qing asked.

"Supplying across the shore is a big problem, my lord, I remember that Gu Yong is from Wu County, why don't you contact the Gu family to see if you are willing to support the lord?" Tian Feng said.

"The Gu family? Give it a try. If you can help Liu Yao gain a foothold in Wu County, the Gu family will definitely be able to overwhelm the other three families in the future. With such an advantage, the Gu family will not refuse."

Tian Feng agreed, and said: "Yangzhou is different from the Central Plains, and the strength of the gentry is no small matter."

What Tian Feng said, Dao also reminded Liu Qing, no wonder the Soochow regime is so twisted, probably because of this, but at the moment, Sun Jian has not yet reached Changsha, and he fought back and forth with Huang Zu in Jiangxia, and the lone army went deep into the battle , it's not that easy, after all, Sun Polu is not Liu Qing.

However, Sun Jian's strength should not be underestimated. Judging from the information sent back, Sun Jian's progress in Jiangxia has greatly exceeded Liu Qing's progress in Wu County with the power of the two states. Encountered a problem. After all, Liu Bei may be easy to deal with, but the main combatants Guan Yu and Zhang Fei may not be easy to control. If an order is conveyed, Liu Bei must communicate everything, and the efficiency is too low.

"Yuan Hao's words are true. Since the local forces are strong, let Uncle Ju get in touch."

After all, there are still many talented people in the Jiangdong area.

"My lord, the two armies of Lu Bu and Cao Cao are progressing the most smoothly, but the problem now has changed. Lu Bu's troops are not enough to occupy so many cities. Can the action be cancelled?" Guo Jia asked.

Liu Qing nodded, "The purpose of this battle is to teach Yuan Shao a lesson, not to occupy Chen State, now Yingchuan and Pei State are the real targets to capture, order to follow first, stop advancing troops, and garrison these cities!"

Tian Feng suggested: "Your Majesty, you can order new policies to be issued in these cities of Chen State, granting land to the people, to shake the foundation of Yuan Shao's governance. Just imagine, if the people under Yuan Shao's rule know about this, will they move here?"

Tian Feng, you are such a clever little ghost, I am afraid that you will take away all the bamboo shoots of Chen Guo.At that time, Yuan Shao found out that the city and the land were guarded, and the people were gone!

"Hahaha! Yuan Hao's plan is to kill people and punish his heart! Just do it according to your wishes. You write to Chen Gongtai personally and tell him in detail."

"Here!" Tian Feng took the order.

After a circle of discussion, he went back to Luoyang after going round and round.

At this time, Yuan Shu was infiltrating into the three towns of Chang'an in full swing and establishing his rule.Zhang Ning also took advantage of this gap and led the Baibo army across Fenshui to besiege Anyi.

As for Han Sui, since the news that he betrayed Yuan Shao and voted for Yuan Shu came out, there has been no news about him, and it is very likely that he really returned to Liangzhou to be his Liangzhou shepherd.

Liu Qing thought about it again, and Yu Han thought of Ma Teng, and then thought of Fu Xie.

So I rummaged on the table for a while, but there was no urgent report from Liangzhou.

"Why is there no news about Fu Xie?"
