Three Kingdoms: A marriage certificate, the father-in-law is actually Lu Bu

Chapter 202 The Situation Takes a Rapid Turn in the Hebei War!

The next step was exactly as Chuck said.

Cao Jun withdrew!

Upon seeing this, Chuck also ordered the troops under his command to withdraw from the border of Liu County one after another.

Now that the covenant has been made, it is naturally impossible for him to garrison large troops on the border between the two forces, as that would only trigger Cao Cao's already sensitive nerves.

Not stationing an army does not mean that Chuck will let go of his defense against Cao Cao.

When returning to Luoyang City, Chuck left Ma Xiu, Ma Tie, Liang Xing, and Zhang Heng among the generals of the army to Wei Yan and Chen Gong.

Of the [-] Guanxi cavalry brought this time, Henan Yin also left [-].

Supplemented by Henan Yin's original soldiers and horses, there are already [-] in this county alone.

For the remaining [-] Guanxi iron cavalry, Chuck took Yan Xing as a general, and led Yan Xing to lead the troops north into Hanoi County, and listened to Xu Shu's dispatch.

This is the end.

On the eastern front of Chuck's territory of influence, Henan Yin and Hanoi counties add up to nearly [-] soldiers and horses.

In the future, whether Yuan Shao goes south to Hanoi, or Cao Cao breaks the covenant and invades west...

Relying on the soldiers and horses in these two places is enough to resist, there is no need for Chuck to mobilize soldiers and horses from Liangzhou or Sili counties for support.

Yan Xing and Ma Teng had no objections to Chuck's arrangement.

If Chuck has been letting their generals follow him, it's their turn to worry.

"Master Wen, public platform!"

"The land of Henan Yin is entrusted to you! Within three years, Henan Yin will put stability first and develop strength first!"

"Here, Ce can assure you: If the Central Plains fights in the future, the army you are commanding now will be the vanguard of the army, and will take the lead in pointing at the land of Kanto!"

In front of the city gate, Chuck patted Wei Yan on the shoulder who came to see him off, and encouraged him.

"Please rest assured, my lord!"

"Wei Yanding will live up to everyone's expectations, but if there is an invading enemy, Yan will definitely swallow it for the king!"

Wei Yan's swearing promise will always make people feel at ease.

During this period of time, the troops were away, which gave Wei Yan a faint demeanor of the great general of Hanzhong under the command of Emperor Zhaolie Liu Bei in history.

Chuck naturally believed Wei Yan's words.

He nodded slightly, then looked at Chen Gong who was standing beside Wei Yan.

"Gongtai, do you really plan to go back to Chang'an with me?"

"Henan Yin should have no war in a short period of time, it would be a waste of your talent to stay here!"

Chuck hoped that Chen Gong would return to Chang'an with him.

In the absence of war, Bu Zhi's ability is enough to assist Wei Yan in handling government affairs.

"Thank you, my lord, for your love!"

"Gong Shi doesn't want to go back, Chang'an has Kong Ming and Yuan Chang enough!"

Chen Gong's remarks made Chuck a little helpless.

Simply, Chuck did not force it.

He nodded slightly towards Bu Zhi, Chang Cheng, Liang Xing, Zhang Heng and other generals who also came to see him off, then turned over and rode on the horse.

"Everyone!"

"Teacher returns to Chang'an!"

Chuck's words fell, and Ma Chao, Hu Che'er, Ma Teng, etc. who needed to accompany him on the return journey would immediately agree.

Because the war came to an end, Chuck's return to Chang'an was not as hurried as when he came.

even.

During the period, he also deliberately took time to go to Tongguan to observe this historically famous city pass.

however.

Accidents will happen.

Just when Chuck entered Hongnong County and was about to arrive in Chang'an.

A letter was passed to Chuck through Jin Yiwei's channel.

"Half a month ago, Yuan Shao feigned defeat on the Anping battlefield, leading the Youzhou army to go deep!"

"When the Youzhou Army was chasing to Xindu, Gongsun Zan was ambushed by Yuan Jun, and none of the tens of thousands of troops survived. Yuan Jun counterattacked and chased him to Yijing!"

"After Yuan Jun surrounded Yi Jing, he attacked day after day. Gongsun Zan's defeat was only on one knee?"

After reading the contents of the letter compiled by Li Ru, Chuck was shocked.

He didn't think so.

In just over a month, the situation on the Anping battlefield unexpectedly took such a dramatic turn for the worse.

Putting away the newspaper, Chuck looked at Li Ru standing in front of him, and asked him, "Is Gongsun Zan still alive?"

"Alive!"

"But the situation is not optimistic!" Facing Chuck's inquiry, Li Ru answered truthfully.

"Wen You, you said it's still too late for us to send troops to Youzhou. Can we rescue Gongsun Zan?"

Chuck didn't want Gongsun Zan to be defeated.

The existence of Youzhou Army will help Chuck contain Yuan Shao's great energy.

If possible, Chuck still hopes to help Gongsun Zan.

but.

Regarding Chuck's inquiry, Li Ru smiled wryly and shook his head.

"My lord, the Youzhou army was defeated so quickly, it can even be said to be beyond everyone's expectations!"

"Even if we send troops to help Youzhou now, there will be too little time!"

"As for the strategy of besieging Wei to save Zhao and attacking Jizhou, the possibility of success is also very small!"

Li Ru paused slightly, "First of all, if Lu Bu's army in Bingzhou wants to get out of Huguan, they must break through Zhang Yun's defense line of Gao Lan's army station!"

"Zhang He and Gao Lan are mediocre generals. Although the Bingzhou army is strong, it is impossible to defeat them in a few days!"

"It is not feasible to send troops to Huguan, and it is even more difficult to send troops to Hanoi!"

"Zhang Yan's Department of the Black Mountain Army, which lies between Hanoi and Jizhou, is the first problem we need to face!"

"We have never had any contact with the Black Mountain Army, and the Black Mountain Army will not let me wait to cross the border!"

Li Ru's answer basically killed Chuck's idea of ​​sending troops to Youzhou, which made Chuck sigh involuntarily.

I am not only lamented by the powerful revision of history, but also annoyed by Gongsun Zan's aggressiveness in underestimating the enemy.

Can't you come at a steady pace?
Why rush to defeat Yuan Shao in the first battle and swallow Jizhou!
pity.

Gongsun Zan was not in front of him, so he could only put his heart full of helplessness in his stomach.

"Gongsun Zan can't just die like this!"

"Wenyou, if possible..."

"Let Jin Yiwei, who is lurking in Youzhou, contact Gongsun Zan, and let him retreat to Liaodong temporarily, and don't fight Yuan Jun to the death in Yijing!"

"As long as he, Gongsun Zan, is still alive, there is still a possibility for Youzhou to make a comeback!"

How to make a comeback, Chuck did not elaborate.

It is not difficult for Li Ru to guess.

It is nothing more than Chuck's army launching an attack on Jizhou and cooperating with the remaining forces in Youzhou to launch military operations.

In this regard, Li Ru is not optimistic.

Because once the land of Guanliang falls into the war with Jizhou, then the three-year non-war alliance that Chuck and Cao Cao made before is in vain.

To know.

Those three years were prepared by Chuck to march into Sichuan and take down Liu Zhang.

If it was spent on the battle with Yuan Shao, it would be unavoidable that the gain would not be worth the loss.

After all, the weak Liu Zhang is much easier to deal with than Yuan Shao.

"promise!"

"Confucianism obeys orders, this will convey your meaning to Youzhou, my lord!"

Looking at Li Ru who was about to retreat, Chuck stopped him and said, "By the way, how is Zhao Yun under Gongsun Zan's command? Is he still alive?"

Hearing Chuck's inquiry, Li Ru was taken aback.

After thinking about it carefully, he smiled and said, "General Zhao Yun is fine!"

"Hehe, Gongsun Zan should be lucky to have such a good general under his command!"

"If this person hadn't led the three thousand white horses to defeat the defeated Youzhou army, Gongsun Zan might not have been able to return to Yijing alive!"
