Great Military Division

Chapter 381 Xu Huang!Take refuge in the mystery of the White Wave and Yellow Turbans!
Youzhou.

Yuan Shao's camp.

Central Army, big tent.

A majestic man was sitting upright at the moment, staring at the marching map next to him.

This person is none other than Yuan Shao, General Chariot and Jizhou Shepherd.

After attacking Youzhou for more than half a year, it has not been able to take it down so far.

Today, Chang'an has undergone tremendous changes, leading to a sudden change in the national structure. Yuan Shao naturally has to keep up with the situation and do his best to kill Liu Yu. After striving to secure Youzhou, he will unite with Chang'an to resist Nanyang.

but
Ideal is beautiful, reality is skinny.

Yuan Shao couldn't believe it. Facing a player like Liu Yu, he had been playing for half a year in a daze, but he still hadn't won it. This shit was too slow.

After all, if it wasn't for the existence of Liu Yu, Yuan Shao could have directly sent a large army into Bingzhou and participated in the battle of Hedong early. In this way, they would have more control over the Nanyang Hanting.

"Don't say anything else."

An angry Yuan Shao waved his hand and immediately interrupted Tian Feng: "Whether it is Wuhuan or the common people, I, Yuan Shao, don't care about it. You just need to tell me how to take it down within this month?"

"This"

Tian Feng was indifferent and didn't dare to answer.

If he had the ability to kill Liu Yu long ago, why wait until now?
Since I can't kill it until now, if I continue to attack, I will actually suffer more losses from myself.

But Tian Feng also understands that the current situation in the whole country cannot allow Yuan Shao to waste time in Youzhou, but if Liu Yu is not killed, it will always be a hidden danger in the future.

quiet!
Quiet!

Deathly quiet!

The entire tent was silent, and the needles could be heard.

Liu Yu is now huddled in the city, relying on the people and the surrounding Wuhuan cavalry to help defend, it is so hard that people can't speak, if he insists on gnawing this bone, it is very likely that his mouth full of steel teeth will be wiped out. collapse.

The most terrible thing is that even if the steel teeth are broken, Yuan Shao may not be able to win Jixian County. In this case, the loss outweighs the gain, and even hurts himself.

a long time.

Finally a person came out from below, bowed his body and cupped his hands and said, "My lord, the only way we can do now is to unite with Gongsun Zan, let him lead the White Horse Yi Cong, attack the Wuhuan Tuqi on the periphery, and relieve the pressure we face. "

Yuan Shao turned his head and glanced at the man, seeing him as Ju Shou: "Gongsun Zan?"

"That's right!"

Ju Shou nodded affirmatively: "When Gongsun Zan was ordered to conquer Wuhuan, he was punished by Liu Yu, but he only focused on the strength of his army and allowed his troops to harass the people, while Liu Yu paid attention to benevolent government and strictly prohibited Gongsun from doing so. contradiction."

"Of course!"

Speaking of this, Jushou emphasized: "The biggest conflict between Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu is about the attitude towards Wuhuan. Liu Yu advocates the integration of inland migration, supplemented by education."

"However, Gongsun Zan is different. He hates Wuhuan to the bone, and advocates beheading him and driving him out of Youzhou. Because Wuhuan Tuqi can serve Liu Yu with his life, but he is afraid of Gongsun Zan."

"As far as my subordinates know, Liu Yusheng is afraid that Gongsun Zan will become more powerful, so he is always trying to suppress Gongsun. This is a more direct conflict between them."

"As for the grievances between the Lord and Gongsun Zan."

Ju Shou pondered for a moment, and finally shook his head: "This subordinate thinks that compared to the conflict between Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan, it can be completely ignored."

"If my lord can lower his posture and contact Gongsun Zan, as long as the two sides can form an alliance and kill Liu Yu together, then maybe Ji County may be taken before the end of the month."

Up to now, Yuan Shao has no better way: "Gong Yu makes sense, let go of your posture and let go of your posture. I will personally send a letter of divorce to Gongsun Zan. If he agrees, Youzhou can be divided equally in the future."

"and!"

Yuan Shao raised his pen, paused for a long time, and said solemnly: "This general can recommend him to the imperial court as the shepherd of Youzhou, or even enter the imperial court as an official, and it is not impossible to be a Jiuqing."

"My lord, wait a minute."

Hearing this, Xia Jushou hurriedly interrupted: "Remember not to mention the matter of being Jiuqing. Gongsun Zan is a sensible person. He will not care about Jiuqing's official position. It is better than Youzhou Mu. It is more affordable."

"Ah."

Yuan Shao nodded.

Naturally, he also knew that this was a means of raising up and down in the dark, and it was not suitable to bring it up now: "Don't worry, this kind of thing is not my turn, it should be done by the Tai Tuo."

Ju Shou cupped his hands: "My lord is wise."

"Report—!"

At this moment, a long announcement sounded from outside the tent.

Yuan Shao looked up.

But seeing, his own messenger hurriedly entered the account, his expression was extremely flustered, he bowed his body and cupped his hands and said: "My lord, the battle report from the east of the river."

Yuan Shao was astonished and asked anxiously, "How is the situation?"

The messenger's throat rolled and he swallowed forcefully: "Hedongguan's family defected and attacked the right-wing Hedongwei's family. Zhang Liao led his troops to break through and defeated Zhang Kan, the governor of Hedong County. "

"what?"

Yuan Shao exclaimed, his eyes staring like bells.

He couldn't believe his ears.

You know, he originally knew the layout in the direction of the east of the river. According to common sense, the winning rate should not be less than [-]% with such a tight formation. How could it be easy to lose.

Zhe Guan Xing was narrow at both ends and wide in the middle. As long as the exit was guarded, there would be thousands of troops, and it would be impossible to break out easily. How could Zhang Liao break through and attack head-on?

impossible!
This is absolutely impossible!

In an instant, Yuan Shao only felt his head buzzing: "False report! This must be a false report! Come on, send people into Hedong quickly, and send back the latest news."

"Lord!"

The messenger bowed and handed over the letter box: "Here is General Gao's personal letter. He has confirmed the news, and is actively cooperating with the troops who took over Wang Yun and Zhang Kan and provided them with food and grass."

Gao Gan's autograph letter?

The anxiety in Yuan Shao's heart was even worse. He took the letter box, hurriedly took out the letter paper, opened it, his eyes rolled up and down, yes, it was indeed a letter written by Gao Gan.

"This"

Yuan Shao sat on the futon with a thud, his expression became numb for an instant, and his face was stiff, as if his seven souls had lost his three souls, and his eyes filled with death.

Not only Yuan Shao himself, but also the civil and military personnel who are full of bills, are all in a state of bewilderment and bewilderment. They are so shocked that they dare not raise their voices, they can only whisper:

"How is this possible? Can the character array be breached? Could it be that the ambush in Zhiguan Xingli didn't play a corresponding role?"

"I really can't imagine that with such a formation pattern, they would still lose? What kind of team is under Zhang Liao's command, and their strength is so strong?"

"Could it be because of being trapped in the camp? But, isn't there only 800 people in the camp? Even if they are there, it is absolutely impossible to cross that road easily."

"Oh my god, the battle in Hedong has been completely defeated. Nanyang will definitely take the opportunity to occupy Fenglingdu and Longmendu. In this way, it is almost impossible for Chang'an to enter Bingzhou."

"If Hedong County is lost, Guanzhong will really be in a corner. If we can't quickly wipe out Youzhou and concentrate our forces to take down Hedong, the future will be worrying!"

"."

Everyone is a think tank, and naturally knows how important Hedong County has played in connecting Guanzhong, Bingzhou, and Jizhou.

Although Chang'an moved very quickly, within ten months, he successfully took down the Hedong Weijia and Baibo Yellow Turban, and in a short period of time, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were assembled.

But
In front of the famous Nanyang soldiers and horses, they were so vulnerable.

No one dared to believe that under such a perfect formation, Nanyang could turn defeat into victory, which subverted everyone's cognition.

That's right!

In the eyes of Yuan Shaozhang's civil and martial arts, when they learned of such an arrangement, they had already concluded that the Battle of Hedong would inevitably end with Chang'an's complete victory.

It was precisely because of this that they did not choose to support as soon as possible, but concentrated their strength to knock out the last bit of energy and spirit of Liu Yu in Youzhou, so as to completely wipe out Youzhou.

I never imagined that when the result came, it would be such a slap in the face. Not only did Hedong disappear, but even the Youzhou battlefield did not win.

A crushing defeat!
However.
After a long silence, Yuan Shao finally cheered up.

His eyes were full of flames, he glanced at the tent full of civil and military personnel, and said coldly: "Even though Hedong is defeated, Chang'an will definitely not sit idly by, and we also cannot sit idly by."

"Bingzhou's terrain is complex, easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is impossible for Zhang Liao to break through in a short time. We must not give up. We must secure Youzhou in the shortest possible time."

"That's right!"

At that moment, Guo Tu came out from the tent and bowed to him: "My lord is right, Bingzhou has high-ranking cadres in charge, and now even Situ Wangyun has returned. In a short time, no one can take Bingzhou."

"We still have a chance!"

Guo Tu glanced at Zhang Wenwu, and said with absolute certainty: "There must be a chance."

Then, Xun Chen took another step horizontally, bowed his body and cupped his hands: "My lord, there are Lu Bu, Huang Zhong, and Xu Chu in the direction of Hanoi at present, and we must find a way to stop them in advance."

"Now, Yanzhou Mu Liu Dai has already defeated Yu Du, Bai Rao and others. We can unite with Liu Dai to restrain Lu Bu temporarily, and at the same time send someone to contact Yu Fuluo to delay the time."

At the same time, Xin Ping stepped out, bowed his body and cupped his hands and said, "In my humble opinion, even Yu Fuluo may not be able to stop Lu Bu, otherwise they would not have lived so peacefully when Lu Bu was in Bingzhou. "

"Therefore, I believe that while we contact Yu Fuluo, we must also send people to rebuild the Zhanghe Great Wall. We must stop the bandits' war horses."

The Great Wall of my country does not only refer to the Great Wall of Mountains, but also the Great Wall of River Embankments.

The Great Wall of River Embankments is very obvious in Jizhou.

This is because the game between Wei, Zhao, Han and other countries has been very obvious in the Bingzhou area since the three families were divided into Jin Dynasty.

The Zhanghe Great Wall and the Yishui Great Wall are all embankment Great Walls!
Although there is no trace of the Great Wall of the River Embankment in modern society, at the end of the Han Dynasty, at best it was destroyed. As long as someone is sent to repair it, it can still be put into use.

Yuan Shao nodded approvingly: "That's right! It should be so. Quickly send orders to county magistrates in Yecheng, Handan and other places, asking them to quickly recruit civilian workers to build the Great Wall."

Xin Ping bowed: "Here."

"As for Yuvro."

Yuan Shao pondered for a moment, then raised his eyes to look at Guo Tu: "It's hard work for you to go, no matter what conditions Yu Fuluo asks, you just agree."

"Anyway, according to Nanyang Hongnong Wang's principles of handling things, he will not easily win over Yu Fuluo. This is barely good news for us."

Guo Tu nodded and nodded: "My lord, don't worry, I will leave it to you."

Yuan Shao gradually calmed down, turned his head and glanced at Jushou: "Gongyu, as for Gongsun Zan, you have to work hard to clear up the past as much as possible, and join forces to deal with Liu Yu."

"His Gongsun Zan has a white horse, and we also have ten thousand crossbows. Together, we will be able to wipe out the Wuhuan Tuqi. Just let him feel at ease."

Ju Shou cupped his hands: "Here."

*****
Hedong County.

Outside the Baibo Valley.

Zhang Liao stared at the mountains and river outside, waiting for a moment.

Not long after, Chen Gong came over and handed over a sketch of a temporary drawing: "Wen Yuan, this is a sketch of the topography of Baibo Valley, and Cheng Yin, Hou Xuan and others have already seen it, so there shouldn't be any problem."

"Thanks for your hard work."

Zhang Liao took the map and opened it to browse.

as predicted.

The terrain here is very dangerous.

With its back against the mountain, it presents an inverted C shape with one and only one entrance.

As long as the mountains on both sides are guarded, it is really impossible for thousands of troops to come in.

Chen Gong explained: "Look, Wenyuan, the entrance of this valley is very narrow. On the mountains on both sides, there are many watchtowers, which can observe the enemy's situation and make it easier to shoot arrows. In addition, a lot of rolling logs and stones have been prepared."

"Judging from the combination of watchtowers and archery towers, as well as the layout of the mountain defense array and the valley gate, it must have come from someone who is proficient in the art of war, and it is by no means reckless."

"The terrain conditions here are much more dangerous than the last mile in Guanxing. It's not easy for us to wipe out Baibo Huangjin."

"No wonder."

Chen Gong pinched the goatee under his jaw, and said softly: "Hedong County sent a large number of soldiers and horses to suppress the bandits, but none of them succeeded. Ordinary people would be scared to death when encountering such an formation, so how dare they attack by force."

Zhang Liao was also aware of this point: "No matter how much it costs, we must win the Baibo Yellow Turban, otherwise if we leave, Hedong will inevitably repeat itself."

Baibo Huangjin Yang Feng has already taken refuge in Chang'an, even if he wants to take refuge in Nanyang, His Majesty the Emperor of Nanyang will not take over again, so this battle must be fought.

"such a pity!"

Chen Gong sighed, and said with a little regret: "The trapped camp has been transferred to Hanoi to prepare to attack the Shangdang Highlands. Otherwise, in this battle, we can follow the example of Zhiguan Xingshi and let the trapped camp take the lead and wipe them out."

However, Zhang Liao still stared at the simple map of Baibo Valley, and his attitude was very firm: "Being in the camp has important things to do, how can we be dragged down, even if we are not in the camp, we still have to fight this battle, and we must win."

"It's natural."

Chen Gong agreed with this point, and said softly: "I heard that there is a fierce general in the Baibo Yellow Turban, named Xu Huang. This person was originally a county official in Hedong County, but for some reason, he became Baibo Yellow Turban."

"Oh?"

Zhang Liao frowned.

He couldn't believe that someone would give up his status as a county official and eventually become a bandit.

There must be some unknown secret in it, otherwise such a worthless deal, I'm afraid no one is willing to do it: "Xu Huang?"

Chen Gong nodded: "That's right! When he was trapped in the camp to hunt down Baibo and Huangjin, it was this person who skillfully used aggressive tactics to make Gao Shun give up hunting freely, and Baibo Huangjin was able to retreat calmly."

"interesting."

Zhang Liao nodded slowly, and his interest in Xu Huang suddenly increased: "Have you sent someone to investigate this person?"

Chen Gong smiled lightly: "It's natural, such a fierce general, how can we miss it."

Zhang Liao said with a smile, "Let's go, we'll discuss it after returning to the camp."

Chen Gong nodded: "Here."

present.

The two returned to the camp outside the valley together, preparing to discuss the important matter of conquering Baibo Valley.

The previous officers and soldiers couldn't take it down, but it doesn't mean they couldn't take it down.

Even if it was a nail, Zhang Liao was bound to pull it out.

barracks.

Zhang Liao hung up the sketch map and summoned the generals of the battalions to enter the account: "Cheng Yin, Hou Xuan, Li Kan, you are all from Hedong County. I think you should know about Baibo Valley, so let me tell you what you think."

Cheng Yin took the lead, bowed his body and cupped his hands and said, "General, the terrain of Baibo Valley is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the layout we have seen so far is only its external layout."

"The general heard that there are still many defensive formations inside the Baibo Valley. Before that, officers and soldiers conquered the Yellow Turbans of the Baibo Valley. They finally rushed into the valley, but only a few people returned home defeated."

"Yes."

Another candidate flashed out: "In the fifth year of Zhongping, Baibo Yellow Turban attacked Hedong, Taiyuan and other counties. The last general participated in the battle against Baibo Yellow Turban. It took about half a year before he was driven back to Baibo Valley."

"But."

Speaking of this, Hou Xuan sighed and shook his head helplessly: "It took two months to finally hit Baibo Valley, but there was no progress at all. All the officers and soldiers who rushed into Baibo Valley died in battle, and no one survived."

"I heard from the captives at that time that there are still many elite soldiers stationed in Baibo Valley. Unless thousands of troops break in, it is impossible to take it down."

Zhang Liao tentatively asked: "Do you know who is setting up the formation?"

Li Kan replied: "It should be Yang Feng's general Xu Huang."

"Xu Huang?"

Zhang Liao frowned, and asked again: "Are you sure it's him?"

Li Kan shook his head: "Nine out of ten, it will be this person, but I can't be sure in the end."

Zhang Liao's eyes fell on Chen Gong: "Gongtai, we must investigate this person clearly, especially the reason why he gave up his status as a county official and turned into a bandit."

Chen Gong bowed: "Don't worry, general, leave it to me."

Li Kan reminded: "General, I heard that this matter has something to do with Xu Huang's father. Although he has passed away, the military adviser can start from here to investigate the real reason."

"Xu Huang's father?"

Chen Gong frowned, couldn't help being curious.

"Yes."

Li Kan nodded and nodded: "I heard that Xu Huang's father deeply believed in the Taiping Dao, and he also had a certain status in the Taiping Sect back then, but he died tragically in the chaos."

"it is good."

With clues, Chen Gong was naturally delighted: "I will investigate as soon as possible."

Zhang Liao hummed: "Thanks for your hard work."

******
Shan County.

Fu Gan barracks.

Central Army, big tent.

Holding the military order sent from Chang'an in his hand, Fu Gan was completely dazed.

He couldn't believe that the [-] to [-] troops in Hedong County were so easily defeated.

Now, Guan Yu's soldiers and horses quickly occupied Longmendu and Fenglingdu. If Chang'an's soldiers and horses hadn't occupied the riverside ferry in time to form an effective defense, their retreat might have been cut off.

Too dangerous!

Fu Gan wiped off his sweat and forced himself to remain calm.

His eyes swept across the civil and military tents full of people who didn't know the truth, pondered for a moment, and then said: "Everyone, there is an order from Chang'an to abandon Shan County and retreat to Hangu Pass."

Ma Chao, who didn't know about it, was stunned: "Huh? Abandon Shan County and retreat to Hangu Pass? How can this be possible? We have not lost, but we are just Zhang Fei. Believe me, I will be able to defeat him in a short time."

"That's right!"

Yan Xingheng was born again, and bowed his body and cupped his hands: "These days, we have been studying Zhang Fei's spear technique, looking for flaws in it, and it won't be long before we can take it down."

"Retreating now, morale will definitely drop!"

Yan Xing couldn't believe it, and even scolded Chang'an in his heart for being stupid, how could he give such a disgusting order, wouldn't it mean that he would cut off his arm and increase the morale of the enemy army?
Not only Ma Chao and Yan Xing, but also the civil and military personnel with full bills, also looked puzzled:

"Yeah, it's not appropriate to retreat now. In terms of momentum, we won't lose an inch to our opponent."

"I really don't understand, what is the meaning of such an arrangement by the court?"

"Although Hangu Pass is good, if we abandon Shanxian County, our own troops will inevitably be criticized and the morale of the army will be unstable."

"Is this really a military order from Chang'an? Didn't anyone stop it?"

"Oh, I don't understand! You won't even understand if you kill yourself."

"."

Faced with the doubts of the soldiers, Fu Gan quickly explained: "Don't be upset, everyone, retreating to Hangu Pass is because the opponent's ballista is about to be built, and our city has not been reinforced. Once it is smashed, it will definitely be defeated. .”

"Instead of this, since we should retreat to Hangu Pass as soon as possible, the imperial court has already reinforced Hangu Pass. In this way, the enemy's crossbow cannons are useless, so we can defend better."

Fu Gan didn't understand Yuan Kui's secret letter and kept everyone from knowing the reason for the battle in Hedong, but as the chief general, he still had to obey the orders of Shang Gongtai Fu Yuan Kui.

Retreating to Hangu Pass on the grounds that the opponent's ballista is about to succeed is naturally the most reasonable reason, and it can deceive Ma Chao, Yan Xing, and the full account of civil and military personnel.

Ma Chao nodded and nodded: "So that's the case, the general is more considerate."

Yan Xing also breathed a sigh of relief: "It's still Chang'an who is thoughtful, and it should be."

Fu Qian said softly: "Don't worry, General Ma, if we retreat to Hangu Pass, Liu Bei will definitely lead his troops to follow up, and you will definitely have the opportunity to perform at that time."

Ma Chao was delighted, bowed his body and cupped his hands and said, "Thank you General, when are we going to leave?"

Fu Gan pondered for a moment: "It's not too late, let's go tonight, generals, let's go back and prepare."

All the generals and soldiers cupped their hands together: "Here."

　I checked a lot of information today, which caused the update to be delayed, but the number will not be small, don't worry.
