Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 222 Expulsion of Bandit Soldiers 1
Just as the war was going on in Youzhou, a fierce cavalry duel was going on in the grassland area north of Bingzhou. The Xuanfeng Army and the White Robe Army once again shined brilliantly. At the same time, Gongsun Xu was also hurrying to capture the captives.

However, due to the long distance, the news of the intrusion from Youzhou had not yet reached Gongsun Xu. One day after Gongsun Zan dispatched troops, Bingzhou received an urgent letter from Youzhou, and then the urgent letter was forwarded to Wuyuan Guo Jia over there was handed over by Guo Jia to Gongsun Xu.

At the same time, Yuan Shao, the planner of the whole incident, was dreaming of taking control of Jizhou. He received news that Zhang Yan's Black Mountain army had invaded Jizhou, and most of Jizhou's troops were transferred north to deal with Zhang Yan's Black Mountain army. , now, the area south of Jizhou is very empty, Yuan Shao is only short of an excuse.

Regarding the situation in Youzhou, Yuan Shao is also very relieved. Another Black Mountain Army is also harassing Youzhou as planned. Gongsun Zan, a powerful figure in Youzhou, has been dragged into the water. Montenegrin Army.

However, there is one thing Yuan Shao doesn't know, that is, after the Black Mountain Army invaded Youzhou, it wreak havoc, looting many towns and villages, and many people in Youzhou suffered. Of course, even if Yuan Shao knew about this, he probably He doesn't care, on the contrary, he thinks it's normal.

It's a pity that he didn't seem to be aware of Gongsun Zan's anger, and he didn't send anyone to inquire about the anger of the people in Youzhou. Although he also knew that many men from Youzhou spontaneously went to the border areas to expel the Black Mountain Army, but he thought it was Gongsun Zan's anger. It's just pretentious.

Besides, even if these Youzhou men are really spontaneous, they must be far from the standards of soldiers. Yuan Shao doesn't care at all. He knows a little bit about military affairs anyway. How can the temporary militiamen compare with the well-trained elites? Woolen cloth.

Although there were nearly 2 men from Youzhou who came spontaneously, Yuan Shao always felt that it would be difficult for these people to be of great use.It has to be said that there is nothing wrong with Yuan Shao's analysis this time, but it is a pity that he did not have a deep understanding of the Youzhou man, and he underestimated the determination and ability of the Youzhou man.

Now, Youzhou and Jizhou have been disturbed by Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao hastened to train troops. He is waiting for Han Fu to let go. As long as Han Fu asks Yuan Shao to increase his troops, Yuan Shao can easily take down most of Jizhou's cities. Yuan Shao is simply happy that he can become the master of Jizhou.

Gao Lan has been busy training the army recently, and Yuan Shao gave him a deadly order to quickly increase the combat effectiveness of the cavalry, and the cavalry will come in handy soon.Although Gao Lan knew something about Yuan Shao's plan, he always felt uneasy because Yuan Shao had schemed against Gongsun Zan, and he felt that the situation in Youzhou might not be very optimistic.

If Yuan Shao can realize this at this time, it may be a good thing for him. Unfortunately, Yuan Shao is currently excited, and he can't think of so many problems. He felt that as long as he gave enough benefits, Gongsun Zan probably wouldn't embarrass him.

Gongsun Zan, who was plotted by Yuan Shao, is now leading troops to station at the junction of Shanggu and Dai County. This time, the Black Mountain Army invaded the towns and villages in these two places. Now, the main force of the Black Mountain Army is stationed in a small city in Shanggu. Trying to confront Gongsun Zan.

This time, the place where the Black Mountain Army invaded is quite special. If you go further south, you can enter Jizhou, if you go west, you will enter Bingzhou, and if you go north, you can enter the grassland or escape back to Montenegro. Gongsun Xu is now thinking about how to deal with this group of people. Montenegrin Army.

The 10,000+ enemy troops have been huddled in the camp, but there are still 4 to [-] people who continue to loot outside. It's not that they are brave enough to mess around under Gongsun Zan's nose. The key is that Gongsun continued to come too fast. The Black Mountain Army There was no reaction at all.

Along the way, Gongsun Zan and the Youzhou soldiers saw the villages and cities destroyed by the Black Mountain Army. Many villages were almost wiped out, and there was no living person in sight. Those villagers either ran away or hid in the mountains. Those who did not go away were basically killed.

In fact, the Black Mountain Army is not so cruel. After all, they are also big men, and they just want to have food and clothing when they become the Black Mountain Army. Moreover, in the past, if they, um, every time they looted a village, they would Incorporate local residents into your army.

Those local residents who were robbed lost their homes and had no fields, food and grass. Under normal circumstances, they could only rebel with the Black Mountain Army, because the leaders of the Black Mountain Army were willing to accept such homeless people in order to expand their strength.

This kind of snowball tactic can be described as the housekeeping skills of the Yellow Turban Army and the Montenegro Army, which is why the small Montenegro Army or Yellow Turban Army always intensified at the beginning, and finally the reason for the chaos from a few thousand people to tens of thousands.

However, this time, several leaders of the Black Mountain Army miscalculated. They thought they could do the same in Youzhou, but when they entered Youzhou, they encountered fierce resistance from local officers and soldiers.The local people were also unwilling to lag behind, the old and the weak moved to the big cities, while the young and strong stayed to assist the officers and soldiers in resisting the Black Mountain Army.

Even if it is to attack a small city, the Black Mountain Army will have to face a lot of resistance. The people in Youzhou area are aggressive, and the young and strong men are brave and brave. They have indeed brought a lot of trouble to these Black Mountain Army .

However, the Black Mountain Army had a large number of people after all, and the officers, soldiers and people in these small cities could not resist and had to retreat.In this way, often after a battle, the Black Mountain Army will lose a lot of people, but they will not get much replenishment.

Even if the Black Mountain Army captured many Youzhou people, these Youzhou people were not willing to join the Black Mountain Army at all. They would rather risk their lives and escape than let themselves become part of the Black Mountain Army.

Faced with such fierce resistance from the people of Youzhou, the leaders of this Black Mountain Army were mad. They had never met such people. Even if they lost their homes and food, they would rather run away hungry. , I don't even look down on the relief food of the Montenegrin Army.

In fact, how did they know that Gongsun and his son have already won the hearts of the people in Youzhou area, and Gongsun Xu and his subordinates have formulated a series of measures to rescue refugees and disaster victims. The local people in Youzhou know that if their hometown suffers In the event of a military disaster, they only need to ask the nearby government for help.

Furthermore, the people of Youzhou are aggressive, and most of the people in Youzhou have clear grievances and grievances. The Black Mountain Army destroyed their homes, made them lose their homes, separated their wives, and ruined their families. They all wished to tear these enemies to pieces. Wan Duan, so if you want them to join forces with these enemies to harm other local people in Youzhou, even if you kill them, they can't do it.

The strong resistance of the people in Youzhou directly angered the leaders of the Black Mountain Army. After encountering obstacles many times, the leaders of the Black Mountain Army lost their patience.
After discussing with Lei Gong and Huanglong, the three chiefs decided to exterminate the local people in Youzhou to avoid future troubles.

As everyone knows, their order not only directly branded them with death, but also almost sent the 10,000+ Black Mountain Army to hell.

It was because of this order that all the people in Youzhou who were left alone and those who were caught by bad luck would suffer. Whether they were old, weak, women or children, they all died tragically at the hands of the Black Mountain Army. Gongsun Zan ran all the way to see They are all mutilated corpses of the people of Youzhou.

In fact, Gongsun Zan was quite repulsed by civil war. If he had a choice, he would like to command thousands of troops to guard the frontiers and fight against the alien races in the grassland.

However, this time, Gongsun Zan was strangely angry. He could forgive those poor people who lost their homes for stealing, looting, or even rebelling in order to survive, but he couldn't stand these people forcing their own suffering on others. After robbing others of everything, they brutally killed others.

What's more, those who were killed were all the children of Gongsun Zan's hometown and the people of Youzhou. This time, the behavior of the Black Mountain Army really angered Gongsun Zan.

After sending [-] cavalry to wipe out the isolated Heishan army nearby, Gongsun Zan set up his camp thirty miles away from the Heishan army's camp. Losing a lot of cavalry, Gongsun Zan did not want such a tragic victory.

He was waiting, waiting for the follow-up troops to gather. According to Gongsun Zan's preliminary estimate, together with the follow-up cavalry and the spontaneous militia, the total number of soldiers under him would not be less than [-]. When the [-] army gathered together, It was when Gongsun Zan completely defeated the Black Mountain Army.

Gongsun Zan's order now is that the elite cavalry should encircle and expel those Black Mountain Army soldiers who have not yet entered the Black Mountain Army camp. Those who can be captured will be captured, and those who cannot be captured will be dealt with on the spot. Those who are really difficult to deal with will be rushed to the Black Mountain Army camp .

To say that Gongsun Zan's order is very strange, he is now in a weak force, and the follow-up troops have not arrived. If the entire Black Mountain Army is dispatched at this time, then Gongsun Zan will probably be in danger of being defeated.

However, Gongsun Zan seemed to be afraid that there were not enough enemies. He didn't even bother to capture the prisoners. He drove the old and weak prisoners to the Black Mountain Army camp, and the young and strong captured were left by him to repair the camp. , Gongsun Zan is really weird now.

This is exactly where the leaders of the Black Mountain Army were puzzled. They didn't understand where Gongsun Zan had the confidence to dare to do this. However, if the Black Mountain Army were to go out to attack the Youzhou cavalry now, they would Don't dare, after all, the reputation of Youzhou's elite lies there, and these cavalry still have the world-famous Baima Yicong.

Therefore, for the Black Mountain Army, the best choice now is to hide in the camp and wait for Gongsun Zan to send troops to attack. As long as Gongsun Zan arrives, they will be happy to accompany Gongsun Zan to die. Something is wrong.

The leaders of the Black Mountain Army have actually regretted it now. They want to leave, they want to leave, but now that Gongsun Zan is beside them, can they leave smoothly?
