Xiliang Iron Cavalry

A light flashed in Cao Cao's eyes. What Xun Yu said most attracted him was the defeat of the Xiliang army. He sighed: "Guo Da surrendered to our army. How could he do such a thing? There are many yellow scarf soldiers under our army. See it , wouldn't you feel chilled?"

Xi Zhicai poured himself a glass of fine wine, took a sip, "My lord, Guo Da Nai is a smart man, he will not do anything stupid, as expected, he will definitely write a letter to hand over the military power in his hand to the lord, and then he can only let the lord Fall."

"Besides, Guo Da is also a talented person. He is a veteran on the battlefield. It is not a bad thing to guard Yuzhou as the lord to guard against Liu Biao. Anyway, our army has not suffered any losses." Even with their talents, Guo Dahui never expected Guo Dahui to contact them.

Afterwards, a group of counselors under Cao Cao took a series of measures against Guo Da in Yuzhou.

Guo Da's surrender means that all the land of Yuzhou has fallen into the hands of Cao Cao. At this time, Cao Cao can be said to be full of ambitions. He remembered that since he raised his troops, he had only a few thousand soldiers under his command, but now he has 20 soldiers in his hands. Civil servants and military generals are like crucian carp crossing the river. They are innumerable. They newly acquired Yuzhou and possessed the three states of Qingzhou, Yanzhou and Yuzhou, while Jia Rong only occupied the poor land of Liangzhou and Bingzhou. With my own methods, I will definitely be able to defeat the Xiliang army in a few days, and then restore the Han Dynasty to a bright future, leaving my name in history and achieving a great reputation.

What really moved Cao Cao was that he was stronger than the Xiliang Army in military affairs. From burning the Yellow Turbans to defeating Xianbei, the Xiliang Army was performing insurmountable deeds one after another.

As Xun Yu expected, Guo Da really wrote a letter and was willing to hand over the military power in his hands to Cao Cao. Cao Cao thought of his meritorious service in governing Yuzhou, and declared him as a general of the right middle man, leading soldiers and horses to guard Runan. Chuan, guarding against Liu Biao, Yuzhou is still in the hands of Guo Da on the surface, but in fact most of the troops have already belonged to Cao Cao.

Guo Da left [-] soldiers and horses, and handed over the rest to Cao Ren. Guo Da was also a ruthless man. He obeyed Yu Shan's order and handed over [-] yellow scarves and [-] yellow scarves to Cao Ren to gain Cao Cao's trust. .

Seeing that Guo Da really surrendered his heart, Cao Cao felt even more joyful. Since then, he no longer needed to use many backup methods to defend against Guo Da.

The next day, in the court, an official came to the court to express Cao Cao's feats in recent years, and he made great achievements. When rewarding meritorious deeds, Cao Cao felt light when he was victorious, and the flattery of all officials sounded so pleasing to the ear.

The Emperor of Han named Cao Cao General of Chariots and Horsemen, and Marquis of the Township.

Cao Cao also raised the official positions of all the officials under his command. For a while, Cao Jun rejoiced.

At this time, Yuan Shao was in the final battle with Gongsun Zan's main force in Youzhou. It had been two months since the siege, but the defenders in the city still resisted tenaciously.

Gongsun Zan locked himself in the house, drinking and having fun all day long, not thinking about military affairs, and officials and generals never came out of the house to see him. The affairs of the city defense were completely handed over to Guan Jing. The morale of the army was low, but there were no mistakes. No matter how sharp the attacking army was, they dealt with it very calmly. That's why Yan Rou and Yan Liang looked like a city without roots, but it still stood firm.

In times of adversity, Fang showed his talent as a general. Guan Jing's own talent was good, but it was always covered up by Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan, and it was revealed at the last moment.

The people in Youzhou army were in panic. There were [-] troops outside the city. Even if they just besieged but did not attack, it caused a lot of psychological pressure on the defenders in the city. They had no way to retreat. This was the last city. After that, what should they do next, and Gongsun Zan's absence made the officials and generals a little uneasy. The main general has no fighting spirit, let alone the people under his command.

Under Guan Jing's desperate request, Gongsun Zan finally appeared.

At this time, Gongsun Zan did not have the heroic posture of the past. He had two big black eye circles, his face was pale, and even his walking steps were a little frivolous, as if a gust of wind could blow him down.

General Baima was gone forever, and the soldiers were very disappointed.

Looking around at the generals in the tent, Gongsun Zan felt a chill in his heart, remembering that when he was in charge of tens of thousands of troops, he swept across Youzhou, and the cavalry passed by, and everyone surrendered. The remnant soldiers were defeated, and there was only the last city left. Even the trusted generals and officials would open the city gate when the enemy army came. All kinds of actions made Gongsun Zan feel ashamed. In his view, life and death are lost. He didn't care about any meaning anymore, he just hated not killing those officials and generals who betrayed him one by one in his lifetime.

"Everyone, now is the most critical moment for the Youzhou Army. I know that you have small thoughts in your hearts. People are not for themselves, and heaven and earth are destroyed. I will not force it, but do you think that after taking refuge in Yuan Shaoyi or Yan Rou, you will be reused? As the so-called loyal ministers do not serve the second master, they will no longer trust you as much as I do. If you take refuge in them, at most you will be given a vacant position, and you will spend the rest of your life in fear, which is no different from death." Gongsun Zan said in his tone. Full of vicissitudes.

Guan Jing took the opportunity to step forward and said: "My lord's words are reasonable. The food and grass in the city is enough for the army for a year. After the food and grass outside the city are exhausted, they will naturally retreat. You should guard the city with your life."

Gongsun Zan gave Guan Jing a grateful look. In times of crisis, this subordinate never gave up on the army and made the last effort to save the defeat.

"Willing to serve the general!" The general in the tent bowed feebly.

Gongsun Zan shook his head slightly, handed over important matters to Guan Jing, turned to leave, what he said just now was also from his heart, he understood a lot from the moment of prosperity to the current downfall.

Half a month later, on a dark night, the gate of the city was slowly opened, and the city was full of flames and shouts of killing.

Yan Rou took the opportunity to lead the army to swarm in. Yan Liang directly led the soldiers to attack Gongsun Zan's residence in the city. To capture the thief, the king was captured first.

As far as he could see, there was a sea of ​​flames. Gongsun Zan walked out of the house slowly, listened to the movement in the city, understood in his heart, picked up the wine cup and drank it down, and chanted loudly: "How many people have fought in ancient times!"

Guan Jing hurried over and saw Gongsun Zan standing outside the door very lonely. "My lord, leave quickly. I will lead the army to block it for a while. After leaving the city, I will meet with my lord!"

"It's ridiculous that the world is so big that there is no place for me, Gongsun Zan!" Gongsun Zan laughed bitterly.

"My lord, you won't have to worry about firewood if you keep the green hills. The general has always been on good terms with your lord. Why don't you go and vote for him, so that you can live in the future!" Guan Jing persuaded.

"My heart is dead, you go!" Gongsun Zan's tone was neither sad nor happy.

Guan Jing let out a long sigh, took one last look at the figure who had turned and walked into the room, got on his horse and left, Gongsun Zan's desire to fight for hegemony was dead, but Guan Jing still had a great time, a man exists in the world, he should hold a three-foot sword, Make a name for yourself.

After Gongsun Zan returned to the house, he killed all his wives and children, and then burned himself on fire. Even if he died, he did not want his body to fall into the hands of the enemy. From whereabouts unknown.

After the fall of Youzhou, Yuan Shaojun began to discuss the specific affairs of Youzhou with Yan Rou. Cao Cao's army occupied Qingzhou, and Yuan Shao had long since returned home. Jizhou Qingzhou was Yuan Shaojun's biggest reliance.

Yan Rou has about [-] combatable soldiers, while Yuan Shao has [-] elite soldiers.

Yan Rou argued hard, and wrote to Emperor Han that Liu Yu's son, Liu He, was the shepherd of Youzhou. Yuan Shao was anxious about the current situation and withdrew his troops hastily, but left Yan Liang's army in Zhuojun, holding a wait-and-see attitude towards Youzhou.

Of course, Yuan Shao made a lot of profits in the battle of Youzhou. His old opponent Gongsun Zan died in the battle. Youzhou's combatable soldiers could no longer pose a threat to Jizhou. With [-] horses, Yuan Shao will be able to form a cavalry belonging to the Jizhou Army. In the future, he will have some capital when he fights with the princes of the Central Plains. Although the euphorbia soldiers are elite, they are always infantry. Chasing, inflicting heavy damage on the enemy, cutting off food, sneak attack, etc., are particularly important arms on the battlefield.

The speed of Gongsun Zan's defeat in Youzhou made Jia Rong a little unexpected. He didn't want to get involved in the affairs of Youzhou, and let Yuan Shao and the Youzhou army consume each other. As long as the grassland is completely stabilized within two years, these people in the Central Plains In his opinion, the princes are nothing more than chickens and dogs. Unexpectedly, Gongsun Zan was so unlucky. First, Baima Yicong, who relied on him, was defeated, and then the soldiers opened the city gate to welcome the enemy. The great Youzhou fell into Yan Gentle Yuan Shao's hands.

This year was destined to be unstable. Cao Cao occupied Yanzhou, Qingzhou, and Yuzhou, and his strength soared. Naturally, he wanted to bring his father to Yanzhou to enjoy the blessings.

When the Cao family arrived in Xuzhou, Xuzhou Mu Taoqian hurriedly sent someone to escort them. Unexpectedly, the escort generals coveted the wealth of the Cao family, and they robbed all their assets with malicious intent, and all the Cao family members were killed.

When Cao Cao in Yanzhou heard the news, he fainted out of anger. He has been in the army for many years, but he didn’t want to let his family have a stable life. And know.

When Youyou woke up, she gritted her teeth and said, "Tao Qian, you killed my family, and all the people in Xuzhou will be buried with you."

When Xun You heard this, he secretly thought it was not good, and hurriedly persuaded him: "My lord, you can't. Soldiers are a major national event. How can you act arbitrarily? Besides, Tao Qian did it alone. What does it have to do with the people of Xuzhou? Our army has been fighting one after another. There is not much food and grass, so it would be unwise for Xuzhou's army to resist desperately and lose each other, now that our army has just occupied Qingzhou, and Yuan Shao led the army here, we must not delay the country's major affairs because of personal affairs." Xun You was impatient, and he didn't care about this Many, even state affairs are included.

This weekend, Ye Xiaofeng, I hope everyone will support us a lot!
