Liu Qi, the hegemon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 428 The Battle of Jizhou ([-])
Captured Wei County.

The army led by Liu Qi also rested in the city for a day, and did not continue marching towards Guangxi until the next day when the heavy rain stopped.

And Yuan Shao, who led his army back from Youzhou, had already arrived at Guangzong and continued to march towards Guangzong.

Both Liu Qi and Yuan Shao knew very well that the battle in Guangping was also their decisive battle, and whoever won would control Jizhou.

Especially Yuan Shao, he can't afford to lose, once he loses, he has to withdraw from the stage of competing in the Central Plains.

Therefore, all the soldiers and horses that could be mobilized in Jizhou were transferred to Guangping.

Either drive Liu Qi out of Jizhou, or he will withdraw from the stage.

And the atmosphere in Quang Binh became tense.

The people in Guangping City can also feel this kind of atmosphere that the wind and rain are about to come, and in the city, from time to time, they can see rows of soldiers passing by, or entering the city, or leaving the city.

Moreover, when people enter and leave the city, they also have to go through various investigations.

at dusk.

Yuan Shao was also the first to lead the army to the outside of Guangping City.

Leaving the army outside the city to set up camp, he led a group of generals and counselors into Guangping City, and at this time the army led by Liu Qi had not yet arrived.

In the chamber.

"My lord, my subordinates have failed to defend Wei Commandery because of my lord's great trust. My lord, please forgive me!" Yan Liang stood up and cupped his hands at Yuan Shao who was sitting on the main seat.

He and Shen Pei withdrew from Wei Jun, and when they got together, they braved the heavy rain and rushed all night, arriving in Guangping one step ahead of Yuan Shao.

After Yan Liang stood up.

The judge also stood up, but he knew that a large part of the responsibility for this was on him, and he couldn't shirk his guilt at all.

However, his eyes also turned to the advisers, hoping that someone would stand up and intercede for him.

heard.

Yuan Shao also frowned, looking at Yan Liang and Shen Pei.

As for the matter of Wei County, before he led his army to Guangping City, he had already received the memorial sent by Yan Liang, and Yan Liang also truthfully reported Wei County's affairs.

It is also very clear why Wei County was lost.

Yan Liang, as the chief general, also has certain responsibilities, and the judge, as the person who conspired, also has guilt. If there is punishment, neither of them can escape.

There is nothing wrong with reviewing and making suggestions.

It's just that he didn't expect Liu Qi to be so ruthless. It was clear that he wanted to kill his [-] soldiers by sending [-] soldiers to death.

otherwise.

With [-] Yuan soldiers outside the city gate, plus the defenders in the city, it is not impossible to defend Wei County and wait for him to personally lead the army to support the past.

But because of a man-made fire, it was all destroyed.

Coupled with the current situation, it is a big taboo to kill one's own people before the battle, and it is difficult to decide for a while.

"My lord, although General Yan and Judgment Bo made a big mistake, it was the King of Han's surprise. I never thought that the King of Han would be so ruthless, and our army is now in the midst of employing people. Why not let General Yan and Judgment Bo take the blame and make meritorious service? Make up for the mistakes, and wait until after the big victory, and then punish!" Tian Feng stood up and said.

"Subordinates wait for second!"

With Tian Feng taking the lead, the other counselors and generals also stood up to intercede.

And they also felt that Yuan Shao didn't mean to punish Yan Liang and Shen Pei, it was just a step short.

What's more, what Tian Feng said was right, the current situation is different from their peaceful and comfortable life in Jizhou.

Not to mention the trial and match, mistakes occurred again and again.

But Yan Liang is different, among other things, Yan Liang is one of Yuan Shao's generals, and one of Yuan Shao's most trusted generals, and facing the menacing Han army, they also need a general to lead the army.

You must know that among the Han troops who came to attack Jizhou, there were three of the Quartet Generals named by Liu Qi himself, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Ma Chao, and Pang De, Gan Ning and other generals.

Although Tian Feng and the others had always used their braids before, at this moment, they did not dare to use their braids on Yan Liang, and Yan Liang was still needed to resist the generals in the Han army.

I saw a group of people standing up to intercede for Yan Liang and the judge.

Yuan Shao's eyes also flickered, and he said: "So, first write down the crimes of the two of you this time, and then make a decision after the war is over. If you commit the crime again, you will definitely be executed!"

He would not punish Yan Liang, not to mention the current situation, what he was angry about was the trial.

"Thank you, my lord!" Yan Liang and the trial partner knelt on one knee and cupped their hands.

Yuan Shao waved his hands and said, "Get up!"

Yan Liang and the judge also stood up and returned to their positions.

Yan Liang's face remained unchanged.

As for the judge, there was a feeling of gratitude, and he knew in his heart that these people came forward to intercede, it was because of Yan Liang, not for him, but he didn't dare to complain about being able to escape.

Otherwise, with the previous incident and this time, he would lose a layer of skin if he didn't die.

Handled the matter of Yan Liang and the audition.

"What's the situation with the troops assembled everywhere?" Yuan Shao asked.

heard.

Feng Ji stood up, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, we have all assembled. Now our army has a total of 43 troops, all stationed outside the city, and Guangping City will also be closed today, and no common people are allowed to enter or leave!"

Yuan Shao nodded.

When I was about to say something.

A soldier walked in quickly from outside the hall.

The soldier came in front of Yuan Shao, knelt down on one knee, cupped his hands and said, "Report, the Han army has arrived in Handan, set up camp in Handan, and did not continue marching!"

The voice fell.

coming!This is also the unanimous thought in everyone's mind.

Handan is not far from Guangping, and Liu Qi led the army to Handan, that is to say, Liu Qi has arrived and is ready to face them head-on.

And it's already evening.

It was normal for Liu Qi not to continue marching. With the 43 troops outside the city, Liu Qi led 15 Han troops over, so he would not attack directly.

Tian Feng and others also looked at Yuan Shao.

"Explore again!" Yuan Shao waved.

"promise!"

The soldier didn't hesitate either, he stood up and saluted, then turned and walked out.

Wait for the soldier to leave.

Yuan Shao's eyes narrowed, and he said: "Go down and make arrangements to prevent the Han army from attacking the camp, and recharge your batteries. We will march to Handan early tomorrow morning!"

"No!" Everyone clapped their hands.

This is also unavoidable, unless Liu Qi withdraws from the army.

And even if they don't march to Handan, Liu Qi will still lead the army, and a battle is inevitable, it just depends on which side wins in the end. ,
As the Han army arrived in Handan.

Guangping City is also busy.
