Great Han Empire

Chapter 658
"The general is the army of Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Wang Kuang." Wang Dang's black face was slightly flushed, his eyes were wide open, as if he was about to spew fire, and he was extremely angry. Lived in the Yellow Turban Army."

"The news is accurate?" Li Hong jumped up and hurried to the map hanging on the side of the big tent, "Where did the news come from?"

"This is an urgent report from Jingzhi (Sun's relative) who rode eight hundred miles from Yecheng." Wang Dang said eagerly, pointing to a roll of documents in his hand, "General, as you said, you will help them." Live well. I beg you, save them."

Li Hong stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said solemnly: "Okay, I'll save them." He took the document in Wang Dang's hand, turned his head and said to Jifeng standing behind him, "Here's the order, the Black Panther will follow the order." Gather immediately. Tell Zhang Zhen to take the soldiers of the Huben camp on horses and set off from the camp with Tong Yi. Hurry up..."

Ji Feng rushed out of the big tent quickly.The sound of war drums resounded through the camp in an instant.

Wang Dang was very excited and plopped down on his knees, "General, I, Wang Heizi, have only listened to the general in this life. Whatever the general asks me to do, I will do whatever I want, even if my body is smashed to pieces."

"Heizi, get up quickly." Li Hong grabbed Wang Dang, "Hurry up and gather your personal guards and set off with me. It is more than 500 miles to Neihuang. We will travel day and night, and we may have to go It's time. Let's go..."

Grandson urgently reported.

At the end of March, the armies of Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Wang Kuang began to attack Bentun, the Yellow Turban Army of Montenegro.The leaders of the Yellow Turban Army, Ku Chief, Tao Sheng, Qing Niujiao and Liu Shi met the enemy separately.

Wang Kuang and Zhang Yang's Hanoi army took the lead in attacking Luchang Mountain. Tao Sheng was defeated and retreated to Qiyuan.

Yuan Shao attacked Dangyin and restrained Kuyi and Liu Shi, while Cao Cao took the opportunity to raid Qiyuan.Tao Sheng desperately broke through, Wang Kuang, Cao Cao, and Zhang Yang led their troops to pursue, and the army went straight to Bentun, Montenegro.

Qingniujiao led his troops to defend Bentun.Tao Sheng took the remnants of his troops to cover the women, children, old and young in Bentun and retreated towards Yecheng.Qingniujiao's [-] troops defended for three days, and finally all died in battle.Before he died, Qingniujiao told his subordinates to burn Bentun, so that the enemy could not even catch a blade of grass.Bentun, Montenegro was reduced to ashes in the flames, and the blazing fire was like an oath of unyielding soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army until death.

Wang Kuang, Cao Cao and Zhang Yang immediately sent troops to attack Dangyin.Kuji and Liu Shi suffered heavy casualties under the attack of the officers and soldiers.With their retreat blocked, they had no choice but to fight their way forward, preparing to go to Guantao to join the main force of Poison and Suigu.

At this time, Yu Du and Sui Gu are leading the army to retreat to Montenegro.The two armies met in Neihuang.When the Yellow Turban general heard that Bentun had been destroyed and his only place of shelter was burned to ashes, he was filled with rage and rushed towards the officers and soldiers who were chasing after him.However, they were very unfortunate. They were ambushed and surrounded near Huangze in Neihuang.

At this moment, the left side of the Yellow Turban Army is a large lake with a radius of tens of miles, and the right side is the Dangshui River. There are only two ways out. East killed.

Xiangdong has two options, one is to kill Yecheng.It is only 150 miles north to Yecheng, and they can quickly get assistance from the Northern Xinjiang Army, but the Yellow Turban Army therefore has to rely on the general.The second is to go to Dongjun in Yanzhou and cross the south of the river as soon as possible to join the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou. But at this time, the Yellow Turban Army is running out of food and grass, and they are unable to drive more than 400 miles in a row to Dunqiu and Dongwuyang in Dongjun.

After a fierce quarrel, the generals of the Yellow Turban Army gave up going north to Yecheng, and also gave up going south to join the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou.If you can't survive, then you can die.

Suigu, Kuyi, Dahong and other Yellow Turban generals insisted on a decisive battle with Yuan Shao in Neihuang.Yu Du agreed, but he didn't want to see 10,000+ soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army accompanied by his lunatics to die in the Yellow Lake. He wanted some of them to survive.Yu Du asked a bodyguard with strong martial arts skills to swim across the Dangshui River and rush to Yecheng to ask for help.

In his letter, Yu Du detailed the current dangerous situation of the Yellow Turban Army in Montenegro, and hoped that the general could help.In any case, the battle of the Yellow Turban Army will definitely hit Yuan Shao hard, and this should be the result the General would like to see.If the general can launch a sharp blow when Yuan Shao and the Yellow Turban Army are both defeated, Yuan Shao can be completely wiped out.As long as Yuan Shao can be killed and Yuan Shao's army is wiped out, even if all the Yellow Turban soldiers die in battle, they will die in peace.

Sun Qin said in the book that according to the general's order, we must do everything possible to help the Black Mountain Yellow Turban Army and help the hundreds of thousands of refugees stranded on the mountain to survive, but I am really helpless.

Although recently, General Qu Yi recruited more than 2 captives to supplement the army, but he has already led the army to attack Anping, and there are only [-] of my troops in Yecheng.These eight thousand parts must guard the city, guard the Handan camp, ensure the spring plowing in the southern counties and townships of Wei County, and ensure the safety of Chidao, so as to ensure that the food and supplies are delivered to the frontline army on time. Therefore, I am stretched and unable to recruit troops. Go south to the rescue.

In addition, Tao Sheng, the leader of the Yellow Turban Army in Heishan, has rushed to Yecheng with more than 2000 remnants of his troops, along with the refugees on the mountain.I have urgently informed Zhao Jian, the captain of Diannong, and Duan Xuan, the captain of Handan Xingyuan, and asked them to quickly find a way to solve the problem of food for the refugees.At present, these refugees are still gathering in Yecheng in an endless stream. It is estimated that by the end of this month, there will be about 40 to 50 refugees in Yecheng. Please arrange them as soon as possible, so as not to cause riots and disasters in Jizhou.

Zhu Mu, Zheng Yan, Ding Li, Xu Hun, Zhu Wei and others hurried into the big tent.

"General, what happened?" Zhu Mu asked nervously.

"Yellow Turban Army is surrounded by Yuan Shao in Neihuang, I want to rush to support." Li Hong said while putting on his armor, "Ding, tomorrow you will take the army and supplies to Nanpi, Bohai County."

Zhu Mu roughly glanced at Sun Qin's emergency report, and a gleam of joy appeared on his face, "The general is going to reap the benefits of the fisherman?"

"Now it's not about the fisherman's profit, but about the refugees from Montenegro." Li Hong looked at Zheng Yan and said, "Yinchuan, you go to Handan immediately to take charge of the camp, and ask Mingzhi (Duan Xuan) to be in charge of escorting the grain and grass. Don't worry about other things. Yes. In addition, let’s see if Ma Rizun, Cui Lie and other lords have arrived in Handan. If they arrive, please ask Mr. Ma Rizun to preside over the political affairs of Jizhou and immediately form the Jizhou government.”

Li Hong pointed at Xu Hun again, "Gongji, temporarily act as the prime minister of Ganling, appease the people in all counties, and complete the spring plowing as much as possible. The garrison of Ganling is in charge of Wang Dang. Your army is at your command."

"Jingming..." Li Hong picked up a stack of paperwork and handed it to Ding Li, "I have rushed to the court to build another Diannong Duwei's Mansion in the south of Jizhou to resettle the refugees in the counties and counties in the south of Jizhou. Zhao Jian is too busy. But come here, I don’t think you need to bother him, I’ll leave this matter to you. You are temporarily in charge of Wei County’s prefect, and concurrently in charge of Dian Nong’s captaincy, and you will immediately take up the post in Yecheng.”

Holding the document in his hand, Ding Li looked at Li Hong in disbelief, feeling extremely excited.At this moment, he has only one thought, he wants to repay the trust of the general with a hundred times and a thousand times of effort.Thinking of his previous misunderstanding of the general, Ding Li felt very guilty.

"Zhongfu, you go to Yecheng with Jingming." Li Hong pointed to Zhu Yan and said, "When the official appointment documents from the imperial court come down, you will be mainly responsible for the farming. The main subordinates of each government, you should do your best." It is possible to use the original officials. I have too few people here, and everyone has to work harder."

The crowd bowed.

The curtain was lifted, and Wang Dang leaned into most of his body, shouting loudly: "General, the cavalry is assembled."

"Go, go quickly..." Li Hong waved his hands vigorously at him, "Let's go immediately."

"Great General..." Zheng Yan shouted, hesitant to speak.Li Hong asked him to preside over the affairs of Handan, which was tantamount to handing over all the military affairs of Jizhou to him. Li Hong's trust and great trust made him very frightened.

"Yinchuan..." Li Hong turned around and patted him on the shoulder heavily, "If we want to stabilize Jizhou, we still have to fight a lot of battles, and the food and pay for the army depends on you."

Li Hong looked at the crowd and said with a slight smile, "We are still young and have plenty of strength. As long as we work together, we can accomplish anything."

Jizhou, Weijun, Neihuang.

Yuan Shao walked up and down the tent with his hands behind his back, with a serious expression on his face.

He held a letter in his hand, which was sent by Zhang Miao.Zhang Miao told him in the book that Zhou Gan, the governor of Yangzhou, died of illness.

Zhou Qian's death was sudden, and the Yangzhou government was in chaos, and the food, grass and supplies that Yangzhou supplied to Yuan Tan and the army of senior officials were cut off.Yuan Tan and Gao Gan immediately asked Zhang Miao to supply them with all the food and grass for the army, but Zhang Miao immediately refused.

Because Chenliu County is close to Gyeonggi, at the westernmost end of Yanzhou, it has not been poisoned by the flames of war in the past two years, and its taxes and food can still protect itself.Ever since Dong Zhuo's soldiers came out of Tongguan to attack the Kanto, under the persecution of Yuan Shao and Zhu Jun, Zhang Miao began to provide part of the food and salaries to the Northern Frontier Army in the Kanto for the sake of his own safety.However, in the spring of this year, things suddenly changed.First of all, Yuan Shao was driven out of Jizhou, and Yuan Shao asked him for help, food and supplies.Secondly, the war in Kansai resumed, Zhu Jun and Xu Rong organized a large army to counterattack, and the demand for food, grass and supplies in Luoyang increased sharply.Although Zhang Miao only provided part of it, he couldn't take it anymore.Now that something happened in Yangzhou, and Yuan Tan also asked him for food and supplies, Zhang Miao was unable to support him.

"Don't hesitate to write to Meng Zhuo (Zhang Miao) to ask for food and grass." Yuan Shao stopped, looked at Jushou and said, "I have been friends with him for more than 20 years, will he not give me this little face?"

"My lord, in my opinion, Mr. Zhang is indeed in trouble." Jushou said, "The food and grass supplied to Luoyang cannot be cut off anyway. If the Northern Army has to withdraw to Hedong and let the Northern Army invade the Kanto and occupy Luoyang, then we It will be more difficult to capture Luoyang in the future. In my opinion, it is better to let Yuan Tan temporarily stop attacking, and ask Master Zhang to supply us with food and grass for the time being. As long as we eliminate this Yellow Turban Army, Hanoi County will be able to fight with Henan Yin and Yanzhou. Dong Jun and Chenliu Jun are connected together, and after Yuan Tan and Liu Biao drive out Yuan Hou, we surround Luoyang, and Luoyang is just around the corner."

"However, once the fighting in Yuzhou ceased, Yuan Shu could concentrate his forces to attack Liu Biao. Once Liu Biao was defeated, he would not be able to form a front-to-back attack. It will be very difficult to drive Yuan Shu out of Nanyang in the future, and some battles in Yuzhou will be fought." Guo Tu Objections were raised immediately.

"My lord, send someone south as soon as possible to serve as the governor of Yangzhou, and restore Yangzhou's supply of grain and grass to Yuan Tan's army." The judge pointed to the map and said, "At present, Master Zhang Qi of Anping Kingdom is still holding on to the city, and Hejian Kingdom Bohai County is still in the hands of Gongsun Zan, and Li Hong will not bring a large army to Neihuang at this time. Therefore, we can completely surround the Yellow Turban Army without fighting and trap the Yellow Turban Army to death in Huangze. Crash, we can win without a fight."

While everyone was discussing endlessly, Feng Ji suddenly ran in with a panicked expression.

"My lord, Yanzhou Inspector Liu Dai hastened to report that Guan Cheng, the leader of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, suddenly led his army to attack Jinan Kingdom. The school lieutenant Zou Jing was killed, and Jinan King Liu Yun (yūn) was killed."

When Liu Yun, king of Jinan, was besieged in Dongping Mausoleum, he asked Liu Dai and Tao Qian for help.

Liu Dai immediately joined forces with Bao Xin, Prime Minister of Jinan, Zheng Sui, Prime Minister of Rencheng, Wu Zi, Prefect of Jiyin, and Yuan Yi, Prefect of Shanyang, and assembled an army of [-] to attack Jinan.Tao Qian, governor of Xuzhou, failed to send troops to rescue because Sun Guan, the Yellow Turban Army of Qingzhou, attacked Donghai County.

Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others turned pale with fright, and hurriedly surrounded the map.

"No, Mr. Liu Dai has been tricked." Cao Cao's face suddenly changed, "Hurry up, write to Mr. Liu Dai urgently, don't send troops into Jinan, and immediately retreat to the front line of Dongping Kingdom."

While shouting, he rushed out of the big tent like flying.If the entire army of the counties in Yanzhou is wiped out, Yanzhou will become the Yellow Turban Army.Once Dongjun is lost, Cao Cao will not even have a place to stay.

Yuan Shao, Jushou, Tian Feng and others looked at each other with sad faces.

"It's too late, the tens of thousands of troops in Yanzhou are finished." Tian Feng sighed dejectedly, "The Yellow Turban Army is getting stronger and stronger."

"After several years of fighting, the Yellow Turban Army is no longer a mob." Yuan Shao shook his head and patted the table lightly, "We all thought that Sima Ju was going to cross the Yellow River, but who knew he would take this opportunity to plot against Yanzhou. If this person is not killed, the Central Plains will be restless."

Feng Ji looked at Yuan Shao and said angrily: "My lord, tomorrow we will fight poison and swallow the Black Mountain Yellow Turban Army."

"Insufficient food and grass..." Before Ju Shou finished speaking, Feng Ji slapped the table with his palm, "If there is not enough food and grass, you can't fight? Could it be that if you don't eat for a day, you will starve to death?"

Hurry up and report.

"Where's the urgent report?" Seeing Geng Bao trotting all the way, Yuan Shao asked hastily.

"Master Chunyuqiong urgently reports that there are changes in the Kanto."

Yuan Shao's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately opened the letter.

"Zhang Miao, you are deceiving people too much." Yuan Shao shouted angrily before he finished reading the letter, "Come here, kill Wang Kuang for me."
