Chapter 500 Liu Yu's Defeat
In the first month of the third year of Chuping, the Baibo bandits in Hedong rose up, sweeping across the entire west of Hedong in ten months, with a great momentum.

The governor of Hedong hurriedly sent Xu Huang to lead [-] elite soldiers to Jiangyi, and hurriedly sent people to ask for help from Jinyang.

As the news spread, the princes thought that Liu Bei would return to Hedong as Guan Yu, and at the same time he felt a little more relaxed. There was internal chaos, and Liu Bei might not make any big moves in the spring, after all, spring plowing was just around the corner.

Unexpectedly, however, Liu Bei ordered Zhang He to go out of Hedong, but Guan Yu was left in Jinyang.

Zhang Xi is quite famous in Jizhou. Compared with the people in the world, he is the commander of Liu Bei's three elite Yulin Army. He went to Hedong to gain his reputation.

Zhang He went upstream along the Fen River, but had not yet reached the east of the river.

Baibo thief Yang Feng and Han Siam headed north along Fenshui, Xiangling, Yang County and other places were captured by the two, and Yang Feng went north to Yong'an at the instigation of Han Siam.

Yong'an was the bridgehead for the Bingzhou Army to enter Hedong County, so the defenders of Yang County and Xiangling retreated into Yong'an early in the morning. .

Yang Feng and Han Xian thought that blocking the Fenshui River would prevent Bingzhou from entering the east of the river, but they didn't know that Zhang He ordered the Imperial Forest Army to disembark before reaching Yong'an.

The elite light infantry of the imperial forest army easily defeated the Baibo thief. Seeing this, Yang Feng fled back to Yang County without morality, leaving the Han Siam tribe behind.

Han Siam had escaped from the rebellious army and got a boat to go to Yang County along the Fenshui River.

So far, Yong'an was besieged, and Bingzhou's materials and soldiers were continuously transported into Hedong County. Zhang He left Liu Zhiran to guard Yong'an County, and led his own army to fight along Fenshui to Yang County.

Just when Zhang Yun gained a firm foothold in Hedong, Xian Ling Qiang learned that the Central Plains rebellion rebelled again and violated Shangjun Fushi. Xia Mou, the prefect of Shangjun, urgently asked Jinyang for help.

Xianling Qiang is one of the ancient Qiang tribes.In the Western Han Dynasty, the Western Qiang was the most powerful tribal alliance after the Yanzhong Qiang.Many rebellions of the Qiang people mostly took Xianling Qiang as the main force.

However, after hundreds of years of wars with the Han Dynasty, especially several decisive battles during the reign of Emperor Huan Ling, the power of Xianling Qiang has been reduced to seven or eight.

However, the Qiang people's combat effectiveness is strong. In the past few years, they even defeated Sanfu and shocked Chang'an, which shows their combat effectiveness.

When Liu Bei got the news, he immediately ordered Guan Yu to lead [-] elite troops to Shangjun as a general, and at the same time ordered Yu Ban to lead the imperial guards to Shangjun to join Guan Yu.

First the Baibo bandits in Hedong, and then the Qiang people rebelled. Now Liu Bei's attention was completely drawn to the west. It would be a lie to say that no one provoked him, anyway?As long as Liu Bei is drawn to the west, it will be beneficial to them.

So after Guan Yu's army left Jinyang and Yu Jin's army left Yunzhong, Youzhou Mu Liuyu formally denounced Gongsun Zan.

As for why Liu Yu denounced Gongsun Zan, it was because after Gongsun Zan defeated Cui Juye a few years ago, the gentry in Youzhou supported Gongsun Zan even more. be evicted.

Gongsun Zan took the opportunity to send troops to occupy the three counties, and appointed his confidant Zou Dan as the prefect of Yuyang, and recruited Xianyufu, a wealthy family from Youbeiping, to be the prefect of Youbeiping.

Although Youzhou has a large territory, the three counties of Liaodong were captured by Liaodong prefect Gongsundu. Zhuojun is Liu Bei's hometown and is now occupied by Taishici. Although he still obeys his orders, everyone knows that Liu Yu can't command Taishici.If the three counties in western Liaoning were captured by Gongsun Zan again, then Liu Yu would only be left with Shanggu, Daijun, and Guangyang.

Gongsun Zan is in Guangyang, Shanggu and Daijun counties are very powerful, and they are mixed with Xianbei. Liu Yu has no actual control power. Once Gongsun Zan completely occupies the three counties in western Liaoning, Liu Yu, the Shepherd of Youzhou, will only have a few counties place.

The majestic clan, the Youzhou Shepherd appointed by the Emperor Ling himself, made it impossible for him to stand still and survive in several counties in Guangyang. Then look at Liu Bei, from having nothing to mastering the entire Bingzhou, and beating the disabled Xianbei in the west. How can he have the face to sit back and watch? ignore?
Therefore, under the instigation of Qi Zhou and Xu You, Liu Yu immediately issued a call for conscription when Gongsun Zan sent troops to capture the three counties in western Liaoning, planning to solve the scourge of Gongsun Zan in one fell swoop.

It has to be said that Liu Yu, a good old man, has a strong appeal. Brother Xianyu immediately expelled Gongsun Zan's emissary after receiving the call. Follow Liu Yu to defeat Gongsun Zan.

Within a few days, Liu Yu had tens of thousands more troops under his command. Liu Yu claimed to have hundreds of thousands of troops. They gathered in Guangyang and prepared to go to Ji County to kill Gongsun Zan as soon as the troops arrived.

Yuan Shao, Liu Yu's ally, saw the situation and immediately used the excuse of preventing the Qingzhou Yellow Turban from advancing westward to Jizhou, and could not help Liu Yu encircle and suppress Gongsun Zan.

In fact, Yuan Shao was intimidated by Liu Yu's appeal. At first he thought that Liu Yu would definitely not be able to defeat Gongsun Zan, but Liu Yu made a surprise attack on Gongsun Zan and drove Gongsun Zan back to western Liaoning.

According to Gongsun Zan's character of vengeance, he must be inseparable from Liu Yu. It is best for Gongsun Zan to kill Liu Yu, so that he can take advantage of the opportunity and take over Youzhou without much effort.

However, Liu Yu's appeal frightened Yuan Shao. If Liu Yu really killed Gongsun Zan at once, let alone Liu Yu going south, it would be much more difficult just to seek Youzhou. After all, Liu Yu won the hearts of the gentry and the Hu people. I am afraid that this battle cannot be resolved in a few years. Once the battle has been fought for several years and Liu Bei becomes bigger, can he still rule the world?

Of course not.

So Yuan Shao decided to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.

Gongsun Zan was not stupid, and Jixian County was very close to Guangyang, so the feeling of hanging a sword above his head was uncomfortable, so he secretly recruited hundreds of rangers.

While Gongsun Zan submitted an indictment to Liu Yu and asked Liu Yu's subordinates who were close to him to plead for mercy, he equipped these hundreds of rangers with equipment, and at the same time secretly marched towards Guangyang City.

At the beginning of March, Liu Yu was preparing for spring plowing, and foreign soldiers entered Guangyang one after another, so Liu Yu felt more relieved, but he didn't know that a group of wild wolves had come outside Guangyang City.

On March [-]th, Gongsun Zan reached an agreement with the Guangyang clan. In the early hours of the morning, Gongsun Zan led hundreds of rangers into Guangyang City. Liu Yu was captured in his sleep. , so that Guangyang County soldiers raided the Yuyang cavalry brought by Brother Xianyu, and Brother Xianyu was killed and defeated.

At this point, the private soldiers of Shanggu and Daijun's noble families returned to their original places after hearing the news.

Overnight, Liu Yu's [-] army was defeated by hundreds of rangers recruited by Gongsun Zan.

Yuan Shao was dumbfounded for a while when he heard the news, a hundred thousand troops?Even if it was [-] pigs, if you stood there and let Gongsun Zan kill them, they wouldn't be able to kill them all in one night!It seems that Ju Yi has to rely on Ju Yi to destroy Gongsun Zan.

Only Liu Bei's envoy responded in the most timely manner. He congratulated Gongsun Zan for owning Youzhou immediately, and told Gongsun Zan Liu Bei's wish that Gongsun Zan would send Liu Yu to Jinyang.

Gongsun Zan hesitated for a while, and only assured the messenger that he would not kill Liu Yu for the time being.
