Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 505
After finishing their work in Yanzhou, Zhao Yun and others did not leave in a hurry. Instead, they arranged for 1000 people to escort all the non-military supplies back. don't want to leave.

Cao Ren quickly sent someone to report the abnormal behavior of the Northern Frontier Army to Cao Cao.The fighting power of these five thousand cavalry is not weak, almost equal to the cavalry in the hands of Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Dun and Cao Cao on Cao Jun's side.

With such a dangerous cavalry cruising around, it would be a lie for Cao Ren to say that he is not afraid. Although he talked and laughed with them just now to discuss marriage, it does not mean that the Northern Border Army will always be happy with you.

After waiting for more than ten days, Zhao Yun quickly went northward for more than 100 miles to join a team of [-] cavalry who escorted food and grass.

Cao Ren was also frightened and quickly assembled his troops to enter the defensive state. This behavior of the Northern Xinjiang Army was a dangerous signal, and he could not be allowed to be sloppy.

Just when all the generals of Cao Jun were puzzled, an imperial decree came from the Northern Xinjiang court.Yuan Shao deceived the emperor and disrespected His Majesty's order. He even expelled Han Fu, the former Jizhou shepherd, and then occupied Jizhou and refused to pay tribute.

And this time they went south to Qingzhou to plunder the people, resulting in constant refugees in Qingzhou.In view of Yuan Shao's good performance in the past, Yuan Shao is specially allowed to give the court a reasonable explanation within half a month, otherwise the sword will meet.

As soon as this imperial decree came out, Cao Jun finally understood the reason why Zhao Yun stayed here, and after a long time, they wanted to attack Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao's current strength is not weak, but his strength is not much worse than that of Northern Xinjiang on the surface. He acts in Jizhou and Qingzhou, and the army under his command is approaching 20.

Since Yuan Shao captured Qingzhou, he immediately started to take over the Qingzhou garrison. Coupled with his original strength, the current Yuan Shao's strength has almost doubled.

For Yuan Shao's growth rate, whether it is Gongsun Xu in Northern Xinjiang, Liu Bei in Xuzhou, Lu Bu in Puyang, or Cao Cao who cleared the Yellow Turban in Shandong, they all have a certain degree of fear.

And the contents of that imperial decree are not nonsense, Yuan Shao has indeed done these things.It's just that no one cared about it at the time, and no one accused Yuan Shao, so these things were not brought up.

In fact, the main reason why Gongsun Xu made such a bad move was that Yuan Shao had already started to win over the rebel army in Chang'an. Gongsun Xu had already seen what Yuan Shao meant. He wanted to win over the Xiliang army and then support Liu Xie to fight against the North Xinjiang.

After finding out about Yuan Shao's actions, Gongsun Xu didn't delay anymore, he had to do something, otherwise if Yuan Shao were to snatch Liu Xie, he would probably rely on his family's prestige to support Liu Xie, which would be a big deal to the Northern Xinjiang court. blow.

Facing the powerful Northern Xinjiang army, Yuan Shao did not compromise this time. He even accused the Northern Xinjiang court of being a fake court, and that His Majesty is Liu Xie who is far away in Chang'an. Yuan Shao even issued a statement that he only obeyed Liu Xie's orders, Northern Xinjiang court, he will fight to the end.

In this way, Yuan Shao was completely on the opposite side of the Northern Border Army.Not long after Yuan Shao issued the statement, news came from Chang'an.

Under the instruction of Li Jue and Guo Si, Liu Xie also issued an imperial decree to support Yuan Shao. At the same time, the 10,000+ Xiliang Army assembled in Chang'an was also preparing for war, and it seemed that they wanted to go north to fight the Northern Xinjiang Army.

Now there is a tendency of chaos in the world, the strength of the Northern Border Army is obvious to all, but no one thought that Yuan Shao and Chang'an would unite at this time, and even brazenly want to confront the Northern Border Army.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, others will understand the key.Yuan Shao's territory was adjacent to the northern border army. No matter what the situation was, the interests of Yuan Shao and Gongsun Xu were in conflict. If Gongsun Xu wanted to go south, he had to attack Yuan Shao.

However, Yuan Shao was blocked by Gongsun Xu from going north, and the interests between the two could not be reconciled. The Xiliang army in Chang'an had always supported Liu Xie. With Liu Xie around, their fame and fortune could be preserved. If Liu Xie's status and legitimacy are questioned, then they are also rebels and will be accused by the princes of the world.

That's why Chang'an's Xiliang Army is on the same front as Yuan Shao. This is the first time that the princes of the world are going to challenge the mighty Northern Army. Go down and defeat the northern army.

Yuan Shao can't wait until Gongsun Xu recovers, otherwise he really has no room to resist, and the same is true for Chang'an, they have been waiting for this opportunity.

While the heroes of the world were watching, Gongsun Xu, as a general, ordered the heroes of the world to jointly attack Yuan Shao and the Chang'an rebel army.

Lu Bu was the first to support Gongsun Xu. There was a conflict between him and Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao also attacked him. He beat Yuan Shao so badly last time. good.

At the same time that Lv Bu issued the statement, he sent his general Zhang Liao to lead [-] cavalry to join the battle. Zhang Liao led [-] cavalry to obey Zhao Yun's dispatch and station troops in the west of Jizhou to watch.

Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Yuan Shu, Liu Biao, etc. also supported Gongsun Xu, but they all refused to send troops with various excuses.Cao Cao said that he was busy clearing up the remnants of the Yellow Turbans in Shandong, Liu Bei said that he wanted to appease the people in Xuzhou, Yuan Shao and Liu Biao said that their side was too far away, and their soldiers were not suitable for sending troops due to the climate in the north.

Sun Ce, who was far away in Jiangdong, also responded to Gongsun Xu. He even disobeyed the orders of his immediate superior Yuan Shu, and then issued a statement that he would lead [-] cavalry under his command to join the battle.

However, Gongsun Ce sent him a military order, signaling him to stay in Jiangdong for the time being.Anyone with a discerning eye knows that if Sun Ce's 3000 people set off from Jiangdong, they don't know when they will arrive at the battlefield.

After all, Jiangdong and Beijiang are too far away, and three thousand cavalry have to pass through the territories of so many princes, will those princes be willing?Therefore, Gongsun Xu did not let Sun Ce send troops.

Ma Teng of Xiliang sent [-] troops to fight against the Chang'an rebel army, led by his eldest son Ma Chao, and recruited [-] Qiang tribes to join the war. Many tribes of the Hu and Qiang mixed in the grasslands also began to respond to Gongsun Xu.

But what people didn't expect was that Yuan Shao and the others had already extended their hands to the grassland side of Hu Qiang Zaju. Just when Ma Teng's side had just sent troops, some tribes on Hu Qiang Zaju's side were ready to move, and even fought with the Xiliang rebel army in Chang'an. A large number of horses were traded.

For this reason, Gongsun Xu immediately ordered some tribes in the Huqiang grassland to punish these subordinates who disobeyed the military order.What outsiders don't know is that Hua Xiong is already in the Huqiang Grassland at this moment, and he and Li Ru have already begun to lead a [-] cavalry team to conquer these restless tribes.

Outside the Great Wall, north of the Hetao, there are often cavalry cavalry drills in the habitat of the remnants of the Huns. It seems that the remnants of the Huns are also restless.

Han Sui, who had fought with Ma Teng in Xiliang for many years, also made a move at this time. He mobilized his army to station troops on the border, but he didn't do anything for the time being, and he didn't declare who he was helping. Needless to say, everyone knew that this guy was just trying to fish in troubled waters.

In the end, Ma Chao's army only had 2 people and set off to conquer the Chang'an rebellion. After all, Han Sui is now an unknown enemy, and Ma Teng must guard against him.

Zhongshan, in the camp of the Northern Army, Gongsun Xu and Guan Yu are discussing the military situation.

"Up to now, only Ma Teng and Lu Bu are really willing to send troops." Guan Yu said to Gongsun Xu: "Ma Teng can't contain many Xiliang rebels, at most, they are only [-] to [-].

Lu Bu only sent [-] troops, he is just a cousin, and he has an enmity with Cao Cao, so he must be wary of Cao Cao at this time.

Liu Bei probably had a grudge against our army's help group, Mi's family, who migrated to Jizhou, so this time it was only in solidarity. Cao Cao said on the surface that he was supporting our army, but who knows if he will secretly help Yuan Shao.

Not to mention Liu Biao and Yuan Shu, these guys are usually flattering, but when it comes time to use them, they will speak bureaucratically one by one, my lord, now only our Northern Xinjiang Army can be relied on. "

"Hmph, my Northern Frontier Army never needs to rely on outsiders." Gongsun Xu narrowed his eyes and said, "This time it's a test, these people just want to wait and see, can't I defeat Yuan Shao and the others without them?
The [-] draft troops have begun to assemble in Bingzhou, and [-] elite cavalry will be sent from Youzhou. Bujun has already led [-] cavalry to Yanmen.

The [-] soldiers from Zhengfang's camp are coming towards us, together with the [-] cavalry and [-] infantry of our army on the Zhongshan side, and the [-] cavalry from Zilong's side, the total army is [-]. Seven thousand troops are enough to defeat Yuan Shao. "

"Hmph, Cao Cao and the others want to wait and see, I'll let them wait and see." Gongsun Xu sneered and said, "Yun Chang, ordered Bingzhou to send three thousand armors, three thousand bows, five thousand spears, five thousand swords, [-] arrows, plus some excellent defense equipment were given to Lu Bu, which was said to be a reward for Lu Bu to send troops to support our army.

Didn't Cao Cao want to fight Lu Bu to the death, heh heh, I'll help Lu Bu smash his teeth, I see how he will attack Puyang in the future, and talk about recovering Yanzhou. "

"My lord, Lu Bu doesn't seem to be sincere enough." Guan Yu said after thinking for a while, "He has nearly [-] cavalry, but he only dispatched [-]. Although Zhang Liao is leading the army, it's too embarrassing to use."

"Yun Chang, the current situation is like this, so there's no way around it." Gongsun Xu replied, "Lu Bu needs to beware of Cao Cao. It's not bad that he can mobilize so many troops. Isn't there Zhang Liao? He is a talent. Feng Xiao will let him works.

We just want to give an attitude now, let the people of the world know that standing on the united front with our Northern Xinjiang Army is our ally, and I will make them regret for those who make false claims. "

"My lord is wise." Guan Yu cupped his hands and said, "Yuan Shao has an army of 20 troops, but there are good and bad ones, and less than half of them are Qingzhou troops who have just recovered.

Although there are 10,000+ Xiliang troops in Chang'an, there are only less than 5 cavalry. Excluding the troops defending the city and used to fight against Ma Chao, it is remarkable that they can mobilize [-] troops.

Such an undisciplined army is nothing to be afraid of, and Zhengfang can send troops from the Huqiang grassland to contain it. The only one our army has to face is Yuan Shao. "
