Three Kingdoms: Everything Can Be Gamified

Chapter 223
The situation in 191 AD was a bit weird. In history, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan had a bad relationship, so Gongsun Zan and Zhang Yan formed an alliance to support each other.

Originally, in this year, Zhang Yan sent several people to support Gongsun Zan.

Coincidentally, Zhao Yun also defected to Gongsun Zan with a force of righteous courage in this year.

As a result, Zhang Yan is now relying on Dong Zhuo. In order to deal with Dong Zhuo and Zhang Yan's attack, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan had to join forces.

"Father-in-law, there is good news and bad news." In the Taiyuan Palace, Li Ru came to Dong Zhuo.

Originally, when Dong Zhuo came over, he temporarily occupied the governor's mansion as the residence of the Han court.

For an imperial court, this place is too small.

But even Li Ru couldn't conjure up a palace when supplies were scarce.

"Let's talk! Anyway, since I came here, there is no real good news." Dong Zhuo said lazily.

He didn't live in the palace for the time being, mainly because he disliked the narrowness of the place.

A house was occupied outside as a government office and residence.

"It's really good news this time." Li Ru replied, "We have successfully captured Changshan. General Li and General Zhang Zhonglang are attacking Zhongshan County and Zhao State respectively."

What is exciting is that a batch of financial supplies and even people have been sent over, and these can slightly relieve the pressure on Bingzhou.

But Li Ru knew very well that this batch of supplies was only about half of the total, and it was best not to ask about the whereabouts of the other half.

It is impossible to let the horse run without feeding the horse.

But in my heart, I still couldn't help complaining: It's just that the eating looks are too ugly!
"The good news is so good, the bad news must be worse?" Dong Zhuo said casually.

"As far as Xihe County is concerned, we can still rely on Dahe to defend it." Li Ru shook his head, "Hedong may not be able to keep it..."

Not to mention that both Zhu Jun and Huangfusong are veteran generals, Zhang Fei and Xu Huang are both first-class general seedlings.

Jiguan has been lost, and the Baibo bandits have been transferred to Shexian County. It is very difficult to defend the east of the river.

"It's empty anyway, let them do it!" Dong Zhuo looked very openly.

There must be trade-offs in war. Since the main target is Jizhou, Hedong can only give up temporarily.

Having said that, he didn't expect that Hedong would be lost so quickly.

I was even lucky enough to think that if I could keep it until winter...

"Is there any news?" Dong Zhuo asked casually, taking advantage of his mood is not bad, feel free to come.

"It's gone for the time being, but my son-in-law thinks that since he wants to give up Hedong, it's better to transfer all the soldiers back and keep Shangdang in check." Li Ru tried to ask for instructions.

At the beginning of the war, he proposed to shrink the line of defense and abandon Hedong. Anyway, it was basically evacuated, but Dong Zhuo did not agree.

"That can't be done. We can only retreat in defeat, and we can't give up." Dong Zhuo shook his head. "We have too many people from Hedong under our command. If we give up on the initiative, it will make them feel bad."

Passive and active, there is a word difference, but the concept is completely different.

Dong Zhuo can be defeated and forced to give up Hedong, but he must not take the initiative to give up Hedong, otherwise it will chill the hearts of the sons.

"Wei!" Seeing Dong Zhuo's insistence, Li Ru could only obey.

I hope that Huangfusong and others will react more slowly and not realize the problem of Shangdang.

As far as the strength of the army over there is concerned, it only takes a few days of strong attack to penetrate it.

Dong Zhuo should also know about this, but he ignored it.

It is possible that he is ready to give up going to the party.

After all, Shangdang County is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and there are relatively few plains. Normally, it is a hindrance.

However, Huguan is in Shangdang. If you want to go out and attack Jizhou, then you must control it here.

Li Ru could only think of another way, and arrange for Xu Rong to return to defense immediately when necessary.

With the terrain and environment of the Dang County above, Xu Rong's tactics can exert greater effects.

Yes, there is no need to worry, what needs to be worried is Jizhou.

Even though the black mountain bandits are all mobs, they still have tens of thousands of soldiers!
Tens of thousands are still a bit conservative, and there are quite a few people who have fled to the Taihang Mountains as hermits in the past ten years.

Not only in Jizhou, but also in Youzhou and Bingzhou, especially when the Southern Huns rebelled.

Too many people in Bingzhou took the risk to hide in the Taihang Mountains in order to take refuge, so they naturally fell under Zhang Yan's jurisdiction.

There is no specific data, but there may be more than 50 hermits in the Taihang Mountains, and it is easy to gather [-] soldiers.

The reason why they didn't bring it out completely was that Dong Zhuo would take advantage of the emptiness behind him and take his lair away.

On the face of it, Zhang Yanming is a general in the middle of the Han Dynasty, but in fact he is in an alliance with Dong Zhuo.

With his level of shrewdness, he definitely wouldn't really trust Dong Zhuo.

On the other side, while Huangfusong and Zhu Jun joined forces with Zhang Yang to attack in the direction of Anyi, Zhang Fei and Xu Huang crossed the north from Hongnong County and went straight to Anyi.

It was the pincer attack from these two sides that caused Dong Zhuo's army to retreat steadily.

"That's not right!" Zhang Fei complained directly during the rest, "No, the other party doesn't intend to fight at all!"

This is about to collapse, it is not so much that the opponent is afraid, it is better to say that the opponent does not intend to fight seriously at all.

"That's right. If the other party defends with all their strength, then we may not be able to cross the river." Xu Huang nodded.

These days, the diversion of the Yellow River is not so serious, and the water flow of the Wei River is still very large.

If you want to cross the river during the wet season, if the other side defends with all your strength, it is really not that easy.

But in fact, the opponent did not defend with all their strength, so they crossed the river smoothly and headed north.

Seeing that Anyi was ahead, if it wasn't for the late afternoon, he might have already beaten him.

"It won't work like this, it's useless!" Zhang Fei complained.

"General, military exploits are not simply based on beheading..." Xu Huang opened his mouth.

Pulling out strongholds, ascending first, and breaking cities are all calculations of military exploits, and there are quite a few of them.

On the contrary, if it is just beheading, the battle damage must be counted, and a bad battle is not enough.

Why is it difficult for Li Guang to be promoted? The deduction of his official position is already very large, and the military exploits required to be promoted are too high.

What's more, his ability is indeed almost meaningless. Every time he counts his military exploits in battle, he is a little short of his promotion.

"I know, but... I don't seem to have attacked a city..." Zhang Fei was a little embarrassed.

Hey, it's like I've attacked the city...

Xu Huang didn't know whether to complain or not. Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that he had no record of siege since he joined the army.

Why is this so?
Probably because Zhang He was in the army, he either lured the enemy out to fight, or used a large number of catapults to completely destroy the checkpoint or the city wall, and then he only needed to fight in.

The siege has turned into street fighting and field battles. Thinking about it carefully, there is really no record of direct siege.

Not to mention Zhang Fei or Xu Huang, everyone seems to be like this, which means they rely too much on Zhang He.

"That's not okay!" Zhang Fei also realized this, "I'm still an older brother, how can I rely on my younger brother instead?"

The problematic general has too many methods, and they are too convenient, so people can't rely on them.Xu Huang replied in his heart.

It's just that he also knows that if he keeps doing this, then he will probably be useless.

I have to say that it is very important to call out this time alone, at least everyone can gain experience in siege...

"It's almost there, it's still early while the sky is getting dark." Zhang Fei thought for a while, "Let's call!"

"It's... early?" Xu Huang looked up, the sun was almost setting.

"Prepare more torches, and use them when it's really dark. If the opponent has defenders, they probably wouldn't have thought that we would attack the city at this time!" Zhang Fei shouted immediately, "Don't rest, get up and get ready!"

"Here!" Xu Huang thought for a while, and finally accepted the order immediately.

　"Three Kingdoms Volume [-] Wei Shu [-] Second Gongsun Tao Four Zhang Biography Eighth": Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan fought for Jizhou, Yan sent Du Chang and others to assist Zan to fight Shao, Shao was defeated, and the crowd dispersed... …

　　Yuan Shao fought with Gongsun Zan, and Montenegro sent troops to support.Later, Montenegro was severely beaten by Yuan Shao, and Gongsun Zan also sent people to support him, but there was no indication that Zhao Yun was there, but considering that Gongsun Zan was defeated and Zhao Yun was not around, there is a high probability that he was sent to support Zhang Yan.

　　The Biography of Yun records that during this period, Zhao Yun went home to observe his filial piety, mainly because his elder brother died, and he didn't say what his name was.

　　It was under such a background that Zhao Feng was compiled by the early web writers.

　　But I personally think that Zhao Yun should have supported Zhang Yan. When he returned to the army later, Gongsun Zan had been surrounded in Yijing and had no choice but to commit suicide.

　　But if you want to talk about the relationship between Zhang Yan and Zhao Yun, at least the relationship between the same hometown is certain, and both of them are from Changshan.But whether there is a deeper relationship, there is no evidence, so I won't talk about it.
