Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 2494: Yuan Xi enters Black Mountain and searches for a wise general

"Since ancient times, the land of Yan and Zhao has been home to many generous and tragic people!"

"Yuan Zuozong is a good man!"

Zhao Yun, who used to ride a white horse and wear a silver robe, has now become someone riding a black horse and wearing a black robe, but he still sighed like this.

In order to rush out of those fire belts, he and his horse were all burned into their current state. Even his clothes were burned to tatters, and the hair on the back of the handsome white horse under his crotch was also burned.

Of the three thousand cavalrymen, there are only four or five hundred left who can rush out of the fire with him.

Of the hundreds of clan members and fellow villagers who followed him, only a hundred or so are left.

If Yuan Zuozong was still alive, Zhao Yun would definitely eat him alive without hesitation. However, this did not affect his admiration for this man.

"This battle is all my fault!"

"I will personally write a letter to Your Majesty and explain everything!" Zhao Yun sighed helplessly.

He had completely lost this battle.

Although none of the 5,000 enemy soldiers escaped, important figures such as Yuan Zuozong and Xun Chen also died in the fire.

Moreover, the supplies were also not removed and were all burned in the fire.

However, all of this was nothing compared to the loss of his cavalry.

Furthermore, Li Xiang asked Lian Po to take action, even issuing several imperial edicts to reprimand him, not to let him destroy these supplies, but to return these supplies that were looted from the people of Jizhou to the people of Jizhou.

Only in this way can order in Jizhou be maintained.

And this is Li Xiang's fundamental purpose. If it weren't for this, why would he issue several imperial edicts in succession to urge Lian Po?
As for the death of Yuan Zuozong in battle, although Zhao Yun lost more than 2,000 cavalrymen, it was still an unbearable burden for the Jizhou Group, casting a shadow over them.

After Yuan Chonghuan, Yuan Zuozong became one of the few generals in his family who was capable of commanding troops in battle.

The death of Yuan Zuozong in battle meant more than just the loss of a general for Jizhou.

Especially since what happened to Gao Huan, the newly appointed lord of Jizhou, Yuan Tan, trusts his own family more than outsiders.

After all, several of his brothers were either dead or eliminated by him, and there was no one in his clan who could directly threaten his position.

On the contrary, people like Yuan Xi and Yuan Zuozong, who are from the same family, may have different interests, but at least most of them are similar. They are naturally loyal to each other and have an inseparable relationship.

These people are the ones he relies on the most at this time.

Not to mention, nowadays, Jizhou has only a few generals who can lead troops in battle. Every loss is like cutting flesh and spitting blood for Jizhou.

These people are the foundation for the future development of Jizhou. If these generals who are good at fighting died, even if they can survive this disaster, they can't continue in this chaotic world. Sooner or later, it will be a demise, it's just a matter of more or less. Yuan Zuozong, this is the signature general that Jizhou is preparing to stand out next, but he has not really been pushed to the stage, but this is the ending.

For Jizhou today, how could this not be an unbearable pain?

What was even more difficult for them to accept was that with the pressure from the Hebei Legion, the troops from several counties had to be on high alert. In this way, even if they snatched all the supplies from the hands of the common people, they lacked sufficient defense during the transportation process.

As a result, the Yellow River Navy, which emerged from the Yellow River, attacked from all directions.

Almost half of the supplies were taken back by the Yellow River Navy.

For Jizhou today, these supplies are no different from life. This will be directly related to their sustained combat capability after the full-scale war begins, and directly related to the final outcome of this war.

Duan Shao, the defender of Weijun, originally wanted to take advantage of the fact that Lian Po took the initiative to attack before Li Mu's large army arrived in the rear, and launch a surprise attack to defeat Lian Po's relatively weak Hebei Army.

Even if the Hebei Legion could be defeated, it would not have much practical significance.

After all, the Hebei Legion, which had just been formed, not only had a small number of soldiers and horses, but also had only so-so combat effectiveness. In the subsequent wars, even if the Jin army did not have this Hebei Legion, its actual combat effectiveness would not be lost too much.

Whether or not the Hebei Corps exists has no real impact on the Jin Army's northern war. In other words, given the current situation of the Hebei Corps, its role in the northern war is limited and cannot be compared with the other main corps.

However, the significance of representation is enormous.

After all, even if the Hebei Army's combat effectiveness was relatively weak, it was still a regular army of the Jin Army and was also trained as one of the main field armies in the future. However, now that it was established too recently, it was still far from the standards of a main field army in all aspects.

Being able to defeat such a main army first will have a far-reaching impact on the morale of both sides.

Looking at all the battles that the Jin army had fought along the way, there had never been an experience in which any main army was defeated at the beginning of the war.

If he could achieve this, even if Duan Shao died in the Northern War, he would leave an indelible mark in the history books in the future.

However, Lian Po was also very shrewd.

He was well aware of the weaknesses of his own army, so although he appeared to be making a big fuss along the way, in reality, he was moving step by step with caution, not giving Duan Shao any chance to take advantage.

In addition, although Li Mu's main army had not arrived, the Yellow River Navy was not far from here. Duan Shao did not dare to act rashly when he could not find an opportunity to kill the enemy with one blow.

After all, if the battle cannot be resolved quickly and is instead stuck in a stalemate, unable to withdraw in time, once Li Mu's main army arrives, his small number of troops will definitely end up dead without a burial.

At this moment, Yuan Xi, the number one strategist in Jizhou, quietly entered Black Mountain.

What Jizhou lacks most nowadays is great generals, generals who can truly serve as the white jade pillars that support the sky.

The purpose of his trip was to find such a general for their Jizhou.
