The Liaodong Iron Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 168
In the big tent, Xun You took the lead in saying: "It is not surprising that Zhang Chun raised his troops to rebel. Now the Han court is unpopular. Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, rebellions have sprung up everywhere. As for Qiu Liju, he proclaimed himself Lord Wuheng, and his ambitions were revealed." Undoubtedly, taking advantage of the attack on Xianbei to wantonly exchange armor with us must be to claim to be the king, fortunately, the lord has the name of foresight!"

"Now Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju have assembled a crowd of [-], and Gongsun Bogui is surrounded by more than [-] Wuheng soldiers in Guanzi City. How do you think we should retreat from the enemy?" Huo Yu asked.

"My lord, Jia thinks that Gongsun Zan, the prefect of Youbeiping, is not a good person. With Liu Muzhou sitting in Yuyang, there is nothing to worry about for the time being. The thieves Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju can't do anything for a while. Right now, the [-] Wuhuan Tuqi led by Wuhuanqiu Liju are talented. That's the point." Guo Jia said.

"Feng Xiao's words are right. Although Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju have tens of thousands of people, Zai Yu seems to be a mob! Qiu Liju's Wuheng cavalry's combat power cannot be underestimated! However, Yu wants to use his sword to kill people!"

Who is Gongsun Zan?This person is a well-known and ruthless character in the border of Youzhou, and he has no mercy in killing barbarians.When Liu Yu didn't come to Youzhou, he was only famous and had no real power.However, after Liu Yu came, he valued his talents and reused them.For a while, Gongsun Zan almost became a man of influence in Youzhou, but his tyrannical personality repeatedly refused to listen to Liu Yu's advice, which made the relationship between the two of them rigid.

At this time, Gongsun Zan still had the prestigious nickname "General White Horse".Youzhou is located in northern Xinjiang, and nomads from the bitterly cold regions of the north often harass the border and enter Youzhou to plunder people and property.The nomads are good at cavalry, and they come and go like wind, which makes the Han army who lacks cavalry very distressed.

And Gongsun Zan was a brave man who would charge forward whenever he faced a battle, and his leading cavalry was also inspired by him to fight bravely.Relying on his high morale and indomitable courage, Gongsun Zan won many battles and formed an extremely impressive cavalry "White Horse Yi Cong".All the white horse justices are white horse silver helmets, and they are all veterans who fought bravely.

With this "White Horse Righteousness", coupled with Gongsun Zan leading the charge in every battle by setting an example.Therefore, whether it is the Wuhuan cavalry or the Xianbei cavalry, when they encounter the crazy Gongsun Zan, they will lose more than win.As a result, the title of "General White Horse" is well known to the world.

Now Gongsun Zan is besieged in Guanzi City because of Zhang Ju's deception.On that day, Zhang Ju said sternly that reliable sources said that the Wuhuan people planned to plunder western Liaoning, and hoped that Gongsun Zan would send troops to ambush them.Although Gongsun Zan was not stupid, he was fooled by Qiu Liju's feint.

At the beginning of Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju's rebellion, many defenders in the county fled without a fight, but a small number of defenders were captured or surrendered.Most of these people are the children of the local people, because they are reluctant to leave their homes, and it is the Han people who are willing to be captured. If the Hu people come to commit the crime, they will have to fight to the end.

At the beginning of the army, the two soldiers were invincible, and they attacked Zhuojun all the way west. It was not until several fierce battles with the army led by Liu Yu that they became the masters.And the army heading east, because Gongsun was besieging Guanzi City, drove straight all the way and attacked Tuyin County.

Besieged in Guanzi City for more than a month, facing the siege of the Wuhuan army all day long, both soldiers and food were consumed too much.Fortunately, the Wuhuan people are not bad at attacking the city, otherwise Gongsun Zan would not be able to defend it for such a long time.One month later, taking advantage of the loose siege of the Wuhuan people, Gongsun Zhan led Baima Yicong to rush out of the city suddenly, covered a group of messengers and went in different directions. No, the messengers to Liaodong died as soon as they arrived!
Ever since, Huo Yu summoned his generals to discuss countermeasures.Every time there is chaos in Youzhou, the counties in the east will inevitably lose contact with Liaodong, which also gives Huo Yu a reasonable excuse to send troops to suppress the rebellion when he thinks it is most appropriate.In this way, Huo Yu delayed sending troops for ten days.

To be honest, Huo Yu didn't want to rescue Gongsun Zan, because he would definitely become the biggest obstacle to unifying Youzhou in the future, but for now, he had to be rescued.Fortunately, Huo Yu had made up his mind that Gongsun Zan must die. If Qiu Liju couldn't succeed this time, then he had to find a suitable opportunity to attack him!
Ten days later, Huo Yu led [-] Flying Feather Cavalry and [-] Wolf Cavalry out of Xiangping and slowly headed towards the west of Liaoning.Along the way, the army was very powerful, and the purpose was to impress the Wuhuan people.Huo Yu is convinced that Qiu Liju will definitely arrange scouts to investigate the movement of Liaodong. After all, Huo Yu has become too famous in the past two years, so he has to guard against it.

"Feng Xiao, with such a marching speed, I'm afraid it will be too late even if I get to Guanzicheng!" On the way of marching, Zhao Yun approached Guo Jia and said.

Guo Jia looked at Zhao Yun at this moment, thought for a while and replied: "Zilong, if you are allowed to fight against Baima Yicong on the battlefield, would you be willing?"

"Same roommate, Yun refuses!" Zhao Yun blurted out.

"Gongsun Zan is not an idle person. He has long listened to the tune in Youzhou. Sooner or later, he will conflict with Liu Muzhou. What should we do then?" Guo Jia talked eloquently.

"But it's up to now..." Zhao Yun was interrupted before he could finish speaking. .

"My lord certainly doesn't want to make a move. Now that Gongsun Zan is surrounded by Wuhuan soldiers, if he dies in battle," Guo Jia didn't say anything, he believed Zhao Yun could understand.

After listening to Guo Jia's words, Zhao Yun on the side fell into deep thought. When he came back to his senses, Guo Jia looked at him with a smile and said: "Zilong is the master's younger brother. You don't need to talk about what kind of person the master is. .Nowadays the chaos in the world is evident, and the lives of the people are unspeakably miserable, but the lord’s deeds can be seen in his eyes. As the saying goes, heroes will come out of troubled times, and heroes will end the troubled times. With Jia’s view, the lord has the ability to do this!”

After listening to Guo Jia's words, Zhao Yun seemed to have realized that he had no choice but to act like this. I believe that the senior brother also went through a fierce struggle.

Outside Guanzi City, inside Wuhuan Camp, Qiu Liju is worrying at the moment.The siege of Gongsun Zan lasted for a month and a half, but they were still unable to enter the city. Needless to say, there were casualties. Up to now, the two sides have compared their perseverance.The messenger who rushed out of the city has been gone for a long time, and I believe Liaodong has already received the news.If the city cannot be breached in a short period of time, all previous preparations will be in vain.

"My lord, the messenger has been out for so long and I don't know if the prefect Huo will receive it!" Tian Kai said standing on the top of the city wall and looking at the much thinner Gongsun Zan.

"How much food and grass are left?" Gongsun Zan asked instead of answering.

"There is not much left, be more frugal, and you can only use it for ten days." Tian Kai said with a sad face.

"Ah! Waiting for three days. Three days later, the whole army will break out towards Liaodong, and it will count as much as it can get out!" Gongsun Zan said with a sigh while resting his hands on the battlements.
