Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 226 A Disaster in Bingzhou 1
After Gongsun Zan led the army to retreat, peace in Youzhou was once again restored. However, this battle did not wipe out many enemy troops, but captured nearly [-] prisoners. Use this kind of military exploits to show off to the world.

This big victory was mainly due to Gongsun Zan's insistence on sending out troops. Moreover, the reason why the Black Mountain Army was willing to retreat was because they were afraid of Gongsun Zan's reputation. Therefore, no matter how much those ministers who were good at flattering others boasted that it was the blessing of the ancient kings As a result, Liu Bian still wanted to reward Gongsun Zan generously.

Because the Black Mountain Army came suddenly and left quickly this time, and caused a lot of damage, this taught Gongsun Zan a lesson. As a Shepherd of Youzhou, he let the bandit army stab him right under his nose. Now, he has learned his lesson, and he will not let his guard down on the border areas again.

Gongsun Zan dispatched troops for less than a month, using only [-] cavalry from the regular army, and although there were still [-] local braves who came here admiringly, but this time, it is true that he did not use too much power from the court. Greatest win for the least cost.

1 captives, including about [-] young adults, more than [-] children, and the rest are elderly people or women. Most of these people cannot stay in Youzhou, let alone Youzhou Is there a place where they can be placed? Even if there is, most of the local people in Youzhou will not accept them.

After thinking about it, Gongsun Zan felt that it would be better for these people to be sent to Bingzhou, and they would migrate there together when the Hetao was knocked down. Anyway, there must be a shortage of people in the Hetao, and these refugees like the Black Mountain Army can only go there.

When Gongsun Zan returned to Youbeiping, he received a warm welcome. Liu Bian even went out of the city to greet him in person. There was no other way. Back then, so many people in the court were frightened by the Black Mountain Army. Only Lu Zhi and others insisted on sending troops. Gongsun Zan even stood up. The military order was the only way to achieve such a big victory. Of course, Liu Bian had to make some gestures.

However, Liu Bian still didn't understand military affairs after all. After the Black Mountain Army was expelled, he thought that Youzhou was already safe, and he only wanted the safety in front of him. Therefore, when Gongsun Zan and others suggested to continue sending troops to destroy the remaining During the Black Mountain Army, Liu Bian denied it amidst the noise of a group of ministers.

Fortunately, Liu Bian was not so confused that he wanted to dismiss the [-] brave men immediately. This was also the result of Gongsun Zan's repeated statements of pros and cons. Youzhou's military strength was slightly insufficient, and Gongsun Zan was leading an army to attack Hetao in the north. Neither Youzhou nor Bingzhou could tolerate it. Unfortunately, in order to prevent incidents like the Black Mountain Army from happening again, Gongsun Zan emphasized the need to strengthen border defenses.

The [-] volunteers who came spontaneously can be used, and the [-] Black Mountain Army captives are also a burden, and a large number of people have to be arranged to take care of them, which makes it even more impossible to dismiss the [-] heroes.

As for the [-] Black Mountain troops who sneaked into Jizhou, Gongsun Zan can only do nothing now. After all, he is only a shepherd of Youzhou, and cannot lead troops to cross the border without authorization. As for Han Fu of Jizhou, Gongsun Zan can only hope that this good old man will ask for more blessings .

Just as Youzhou's plan to deal with the Black Mountain Army was about to be released, Jizhou ushered in another intrusion from the Black Mountain Army.

Some time ago, Jizhou was already in a state of emergency on the frontier. A Black Mountain army appeared in Changshan. They plundered the food and grass of the local wealthy households and captured the city. .

As a result, this matter has not been resolved, and another Black Mountain army ushered in Zhongshan, Jizhou. This Black Mountain army is even more ruthless. They not only rob the local rich and powerful households of food, grass and money, but even ordinary people. .

Murder, arson, robbery and rape are constantly happening here in Zhongshan. What's even worse is that the later Black Mountain Army not only made the local people in Zhongshan homeless, but also used the food and weapons in their hands to attack these people who lost their homes. They coerced and lured them to force them to join the Montenegrin Army.

In this way, after half a month, this Black Mountain Army turned out to be like a snowball, and the number reached about 20. Jizhou Mu Hanfu was worried. The two Black Mountain Army successively disturbed Jizhou, Changshan and Zhongshan were almost was scrapped.

In order to prevent the situation from getting worse, Han Fu had to dispatch troops to suppress the two Montenegro armies. At the same time, in order to control the situation, Han Fu arranged for the main force to attack the second route.

Jizhou's counterattack gave the Black Mountain Army a sense of danger. On Changshan's side, Zhang Yan's camp was already full of food and grass. Although Zhang Yan was born in a yellow scarf, he never forgot that he was also a child of a poor family.

Moreover, Changshan is still his hometown, and he dare not act recklessly here. Therefore, before he led the troops to Changshan, he issued a military order that he was only allowed to rob the local tyrants of food and grass, and save the poor people. It must be Qiu Wuwu.

Zhang Yan is actually wise to do this, at least he is conscientious. Moreover, in order to develop his own power, Zhang Yan also adopted the old-fashioned method. He used the food he robbed to lure those poor people who had lost their homes. Joining the army, just like that, there are actually 10,000+ people on Zhang Yan's side.

However, after Zhang Damu and the others were driven out of Youzhou by Gongsun Zan, Zhang Yan felt that something was wrong. First of all, Zhang Damu had only over 10,000 of his [-]+ men left, and nearly one-third of his troops had been lost. This was the result of Gongsun Zan not continuing to pursue.

Zhang Yan didn't find it surprising that Li Damu and the others suffered such a defeat. He knew who Gongsun Zan was. Zhang Yan knew in his heart that even if he fought Gongsun Zan to death on his own side, he would probably suffer a big loss. .

After Li Damu and his group came to Jizhou by detour, they seemed to have gone crazy and turned into heinous robbers. Countless innocent people were killed here in Zhongshan. When they heard the news, as a member of the Black Mountain Army Zhang Yan couldn't help but sneer at Li Damu and others.

Originally, the Black Mountain Army had only come to Jizhou to make trouble at the invitation of Yuan Shao, and it was normal to grab some food and kill some people. Remember to open warehouses and release grain to help the people.

However, this matter couldn't be better for Yuan Shao. He had been waiting for Han Fu to invite him to send troops, but Zhang Yan didn't make much noise on Changshan's side. Han Fu didn't pay enough attention, and Han Fu didn't have the idea of ​​asking for reinforcements at all.

Without Han Fu's invitation, Yuan Shao was really anxious. He had been waiting all this time. In order to speed up the development of the situation, Yuan Shao secretly wrote two letters to Zhang Yan, hoping that he could make the noise bigger. It can make Han Fu feel overwhelmed.

To Yuan Shao's disappointment, Zhang Yan just didn't listen. Changshan was his hometown, so how could he be willing to attack the poor people in his hometown?On the contrary, after coming to Changshan, Zhang Yan's Montenegro army really had the taste of a rebel army, at least sometimes supported by some poor people.

Yuan Shao waited with a sad face, and finally waited for the appearance of Li Damu, the defeated army. After they entered Zhongshan, they really committed all kinds of crimes. This is exactly what Yuan Shao wanted. He had to ask Yuan Shao for help.

In fact, Han Fu originally wanted to invite Gongsun Zan to send troops, but the bad thing is that most of the courtiers around Han Fu were bought by Yuan Shao. Alliance leader.

Han Fu, who was originally dizzy, also lost his judgment. In addition, he still has a good impression of Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao has always relied on his relief to get to where he is today. Therefore, Han Fu believes that Yuan Shao should be grateful Picture report, so, he finally made up his mind to ask Yuan Shao for help. ,

There are many soldiers in Montenegro. Although Jizhou is rich, its military capacity is not at its peak. In order to repel the Montenegro army as soon as possible, Han Fu can only ask Yuan Shao to use all his troops. Wu and Wu were assigned to Yuan Shao's garrison.

Yuan Shao immediately arranged for his men to take over all the sites in these two places. While dealing with these matters, Yuan Shao did not forget to let Gao Lan lead an army of [-] to attack the Black Mountain Army in Zhongshan, Jizhou, and suddenly became terrified .

The Black Mountain Army, which had been raging in Zhongshan for a period of time, became more and more rampant. Facing Gao Lan's army, they did not retreat but advanced, and even confronted Gao Lan's side. Played a few games, both sides win each other.

However, after seven or eight days like this, the Black Mountain Army in Zhongshan was actually divided into two, one led by Huang Long continued to confront Gao Lan in Zhongshan, while the other bypassed Changshan and seemed to be entering the vicinity of Yanmen. Looking at the situation, they seemed to have the idea of ​​merging the state.

To the west of Yanmen is Jiuyuan. This place is also the rear base of Gongsun Xu's Northern Expedition. Most of the grain, grass and military equipment transported to the grassland are stored here. Li Damu doesn't know whether he has the courage of ambition or has gone mad, but he really came to Bingzhou.

In fact, how did Li Damu know that Jiuyuan was such a place? He just wanted to take a group of refugees and then grab some food for the refugees. He didn't have the guts to grab it either.

But the fact is that Li Damu really came to Bingzhou. If Li Damu knew the consequences of his decision for himself and the Black Mountain Army afterwards, he would not dare to come here even with a knife resting on his neck. .

After Gongsun Xu emphasized the need to strengthen the military of Wuyuan County, this place has become a military center, even Yanmen is the same. Now, the prefect of Yanmen is Guan Ping, and the person in charge of Wuyuan is Xiahoulan. This pair of suffering brothers also has a very deep friendship.

When Guan Ping learned that a large number of Black Mountain troops had invaded, he immediately passed the news to Xiahoulan in Wuyuan. The way to fortify the wall and clear the field.

Now, the Black Mountain Army has brought the disaster to Bingzhou again, and the whole northern Xinjiang is considered lively.
