The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 580 Dangerous
The land of the Central Plains was turbulent, and the complexity of the situation far exceeded Xu An's expectations.

The general trend of the world has evolved from an alliance against Dong Zhuo to a separatist regime in just a few years.

It turned out that Sun Jian's troops marched into Luo with a mighty force, and his power shook the world, and he advanced all the way. It was already expected to restore the glory of the Han Dynasty, re-establish the Central Plains, and revive the Han Dynasty.

But after Yuan Shaoyu occupied Jizhou, declared his respect for Liu Bian, and declared that the Chang'an court could be orthodox in the Han Dynasty, everything became confusing again.

After the two battles between Jieqiao and Longcou, Gongsun Zan's army suffered heavy losses and was forced to retreat to Youzhou.

The court of Chang'an is now in full swing, although Yuan Shao and Dong Zhuo are only using each other to form a temporary alliance.

But the military alliance formed by the two will remain unbreakable as long as the court of Chen Du survives and as long as there are no major accidents.

Xu An stared at the map on Hu's desk, feeling a little confused.

In the Battle of Gaopingchuan, the reason why he sent Lu Bu and Zhang Liao to attack Ma Teng's army at the same time, instead of chasing Han Sui.

One is because Ma Teng's position is indeed closer to the front line, and the other is because Han Sui is too far away.

During the day, Han Sui occasionally led the guards to charge. After boosting the morale of the soldiers, he spent most of the time in the position of the central army close to the rear army.

The ninth opportunity for the victory in the Battle of Gaopingchuan was to rely on the dim sky to ignite a sea of ​​flames formed by thousands of Kongming lanterns to create a deterrent, supplemented by the rumors that have been spreading all the time, causing chaos in the Liangzhou army itself.

It's not an ambush, nor a surprise attack, it's essentially a frontal confrontation, a charge.

Under such circumstances, it is undoubtedly a dream to capture and kill the opponent's main general.

It was because Ma Teng was distracted that he stayed close to the front line, allowing Xu An to seize the opportunity, and there was such a thrilling scene.

But in the end Ma Teng managed to escape.

The night battle allowed the Yellow Turban Army to take advantage of Tianwei, but it also made it difficult for the Yellow Turban Army to pursue and find the enemy's exact position. This is why Xu An still ordered the main cavalry to attack Ma Teng's army even though Han Sui's threat was greater. one.

A hundred-footed worm, dead but not stiff.

Han Sui had tens of thousands of people, and Gao Pingchuan left more than [-] people behind. Although his muscles and bones were injured, he was not fatal. This escape, according to Han Sui's nature, will definitely cause trouble again, and he may not follow the example of Chen Cang in the past. Annexation of the kingdom's forces after the defeat.

The Battle of Gaopingchuan achieved several times more fruitful results than the previously deduced Warring States, but even so, according to estimates, if Han Sui persisted to the end, it would probably take nearly a year or so to completely defeat Han Sui and occupy the whole of Liangzhou. state land.

Liangzhou's terrain is complex, not like Jizhou, Youzhou, and Bingzhou.

When the Three Kingdoms were at the same time, Zhuge Liang made several northern expeditions, and the Wei army occupied favorable terrain in Liangzhou, which made Zhuge Liang feel a big headache.

In the original time and space, Cao Cao, who had already dominated at that time, after the victory in the Battle of Weinan, in order to completely wipe out the Liangzhou army and the rebellious Qiang,

In the 214th year of Jian'an (AD [-]), Xia Houyuan, Zhang He, Zhang Ji and other generals who were the generals of the army at the time were sent to lead [-] to [-] elite Cao troops from Chencang to enter Liangzhou.

Three battles before and after, countless battles, countless sieges and villages, and more than [-] enemies were defeated. Only then did the threat of the rebel forces in Guanzhong and Longyou be resolved, and Liangzhou was occupied.

But even with such mobilization, Han Sui did not occupy the entire Liangzhou in the end. Han Sui retreated to the Qiang with thousands of followers, and recruited people from the Qiangdi tribe again, waiting for the opportunity to make a comeback. Because Han Sui had been kind to the Qiang people, So it was also protected by the Qiang people.

In the 215th year of Jian'an (AD [-]), Xia Houyuan returned to Hanzhong with his troops, leaving Yan Xing who surrendered to guard Liangzhou. Then Han Sui once again gathered tens of thousands of Qianghu soldiers to attack Yan Xing.

But then Han Sui also died due to his advanced age. This year Han Sui was already seventy years old.

After Han Sui's death, Cao Cao was able to completely control Liangzhou, and the turmoil in Liangzhou for more than [-] years was calmed down.

With his hands behind his back, Xu An stared at the county map of Liangzhou on Hu's table.

Han Sui is a hero, ruthless, decisive, capricious, ambitious and capable.

After repeated defeats, the army can be re-raised and raised again.

The old Han Sui had no intention of giving in to Cao Cao, who had already dominated the Central Plains. What's more, Han Sui was now in his prime. He was only forty-six years old this year. He was strong and ambitious, so how could he make peace with him? Bow down.

One year is the shortest time expected. There are no major accidents. It will take such a long time to completely control Liangzhou.

According to the Eagle Guard's information and the fate of Gongsun Zan in Xu An's memory, Yuan Shao will unify the two prefectures of Youji within two years.

Today's Yuan Shao's strength is enriched by the Xiyuan Forbidden Army left by Lu Zhi, which is stronger than the original time and space.

In the original time and space of the Jieqiao and Longcou battles, although Gongsun Zan suffered heavy losses, he was not as defeated as he is now.

In the original time and space, Tian Kai and Liu Bei, appointed by Gongsun Zan, had fought fiercely with Yuan Shao in Pingyuan County for nearly two years, greatly delaying Yuan Shao's attack on Youzhou.

But now that Tian Kai was beheaded, Liu Bei returned to the south of the Yellow River after receiving the imperial edict of Chen Du.

And Jiao He, the governor of Qingzhou who should have died in the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Sizhou, did not die either.

Yuan Shao then sent his son Yuan Tan and other generals to Qingzhou.

And from Dong Zhuo, he asked for official positions such as Bijia and Engagement in Qingzhou, as well as the appointment of the Prime Minister and Sheriff of the county.

Now the entire Qingzhou has actually been controlled by Yuan Shao, and Jiao He has completely become a puppet prefect.

Qingzhou has many soldiers and sharp weapons, sufficient food, large land and dense population, and many soldiers and generals.

Originally, when Jiao He was in office, one general was incompetent and exhausted the three armies, even the remaining Yellow Turban Army could not fight. However, after Yuan Tan took office, the Qingzhou Army regained its combat effectiveness under his training and command.

This is why the Chendu court issued an edict to let Liu Bei withdraw to the south of the Yellow River and rely on Yanzhou.

Xu An's eyes were serious, now Yuan Shao and Dong Zhuo's alliance has occupied the three prefectures of Jizhou, Sili, and Qingzhou.

And soon Youzhou will fall into Yuan Shao's hands. At that time, the Chang'an imperial court will occupy the land of the four states, and Yuan Shao will also be able to obtain a large number of horses to form a cavalry army.

And that's where the danger lies.
