Three Kingdoms, at the beginning of the game, recognize the thief as the father, hit the spectacle,

At that time, let alone making further progress, it may be as difficult as a fool's dream to keep the current results.

……

Now that the armies of the three armies have reached a stalemate, the heavy responsibility of breaking through naturally falls on Yuan Shao and Zhang Yan, the hard-pressed team.

As Yuan Shao who marched from Hanoi...

In fact, at the beginning, he still achieved a lot of results.

It may be because the heavy troops under his command are used to defend Sun Jian and other fierce generals, or it may be because Dong Zhuo has not many troops under his command.

In the first few days before the war, Yuan Shao did not encounter any decent resistance on the front line of Hanoi County.

Even the number of soldiers and horses did not suffer much loss. Yuan Shao went all the way to the hinterland of Hanoi County. Seeing that he was about to cross Xingyang, he arrived in front of Sishui Pass one step ahead of Sun Jian.

You know, this Sishui Pass is the number one pass in Luoyang, and behind it is the city of Luoyang.

As long as Yuan Shao leads the army to take this place, it will not only threaten Luoyang City, but also form a confrontation with Yuan Shu in the direction of Nanyang in the south, and it will also break the current stalemate between Cao Cao and Sun Jian.

As long as the coalition forces win Sishui Pass, whether they turn back and attack Xu Rong, Li Que and others, or go further and attack Luoyang, they can bring considerable results.

But for some reason, Dong Zhuo's army...as if they didn't care, none of them came back to help.

Where is the mystery in it that Yuan Shao can easily penetrate?

……

In this way, within three days, Yuan Shao went down to three cities, and tens of thousands of soldiers arrived at Sishui Pass within a few days.

But then, beyond everyone's expectations, a large army descended from the sky in Sishui Pass. Not only did Yuan Shao not have a chance to attack the pass, he even opened the gate of the pass and led the army to attack on his own initiative.

Yuan Shao, who didn't know the strength of the opponent, immediately fell for the enemy's way. After several battles, he not only exhausted his opponents, but also lost countless generals.

A general of the enemy army, whose origin is unknown, held a long knife and beheaded several generals of the allied forces of the Kwantung princes. Not only Wang Kuang's famous general Fang Yue died in battle, but even Wang Kuang himself was killed by the enemy. Shock and awe, nothing can arouse the will to resist.

As for Kong Ni, he was directly dispersed by the enemy soldiers and disappeared.

……

This army, which seemed to have descended from the sky, severely awakened Yuan Shao's illusions, and even set out many times in the dark to attack the camps of Yuan Shao and others.

Yuan Shao's side didn't have any generals who could resist the opponent's leader head-on, and every time the two sides fought, the cavalry led by that person would always break up the front line.

Unable to defeat the enemy, Yuan Shao had no choice but to retreat one after another, retreating for more than [-] li, and finally managed to stabilize his army line in a mountain depression.

Knowing that he was unable to fight against the opponent, Yuan Shao hurriedly dispatched someone to hurry up and report the situation in Sishui Pass to everyone.

……

If Yuan Shao's guess is correct, the enemy general is at least a first-class general in the world.

And among the first-class generals, he is especially good at personally leading the army to charge and beheading the enemy generals.

……

"Damn!"

"If one of my generals, Yan Liang and Wen Chou, is here, how can this thief be so presumptuous!"

Speaking of such generals, Yuan Shao's command is actually not without.

After fully controlling Bohai County, Yuan Shao's two generals, Yan Liang and Wen Chou, are both fierce generals in the world, and they are extremely brave, never inferior to the intruders this time.

If Yan Liang or Wen Chou went to battle, Yuan Shao didn't want to be able to kill the enemy generals, he just needed to be able to slow down the opponent's rhythm. Then after the heavy troops were pressed, the coalition forces he was in would not have no chance to fight back.

……

It's just a pity that there are never ifs in wars.

The fact is that Yan and Wen are not at Yuan Shao's side at this time, and there is no general in Yuan Shao's army who can withstand the opponent's attack.

This time, the pressure suddenly came to Zhang Yan.

……

Chapter 33 Only by pooling wisdom and efforts can the man's clothes be upright

Then sort out the current situation of the coalition forces.

Among the five armies, Yuan Shao was defeated, Yuan Shu was slightly victorious, and Cao Cao and Sun Jian were also narrowly defeated.

The current coalition of the Kwantung princes can be said to have put all the treasures on Zhang Yan alone.

If he can make a breakthrough in the war in Hedong, whether it is to further intimidate Luoyang, or turn to support Cao Cao, Sun Jian and others to help them break the current deadlock, the whole situation will be revitalized and the coalition forces will defeat Dong Zhuo's army in one fell swoop. With the momentum, the front of the soldiers went straight to the city of Luoyang.

And if he ends up in a disastrous defeat here...

Then this alliance of princes can probably be disbanded in advance.

With an army of more than [-], and countless famous generals from the Kanto, Dong Zhuo could not be defeated with such strength, so it can only be said that Dong Zhuo was truly remarkable.

Not to mention that such a person is a disaster for the court, even if he is directly crowned emperor, Zhang Yan and the others are not qualified to point fingers at others.

After successively receiving letters from various princes conveying news, a slight sense of tension, or excitement, rose in Zhang Yan's heart.

It's as if I have become a crucial turning point in the long history. The future of Huaxia depends on my advance and retreat at this moment.

……

Thinking of this, Zhang Yan took a deep breath, and then looked at the county town not far away.

That's right, that is the county seat of Hedong County, Anyi.

After several days of trekking, the army led by him will be able to reach the city of Anyi after about half a day's journey.

But at this time, Zhang Yan did not order the whole army to move quickly, but found a flat area near the water source, and ordered the whole army to set up camp on the spot and rest on the spot for a day.

Now that he has just arrived here, he doesn't know the situation in Hedong.Zhang Yan didn't know how many defenses Dong Zhuo's side had deployed here, who was leading the army, and where they were stationed.

If you advance rashly, you will only repeat the mistakes of Yuan Shao, Sun Jian and others. They were defeated by the enemy's massed troops in an unfamiliar environment.

He wanted to go to Hedong County to find the Wei family to reminisce about the old days. Who knew that Dong Zhuo's men were just waiting beside the Wei family, waiting for people like himself to enter the city, so that they could be wiped out and directly destroy the last hope of the Kwantung coalition army?

……

In order to avoid this from happening, Zhang Yan ordered his scouts and spies to quickly move to the surrounding areas as soon as he was stationed in the army, trying to get more information back.

At the very least, I can never do anything stupid like before, when Liu Bei and others touched the door of the camp and found out.

At the same time, Zhang Yan did not forget that he dispatched a small number of soldiers dressed up as ordinary people, pretending to be businessmen from the Guandong Plain, trying to sneak into Anyi County in the distance, and get in touch with the aristocratic Wei family in the city.

As for who is most familiar with this Anyi in Hedong, if the Wei family is ranked second, no one else dares to be the first.

Even Yang Feng, Han Xian and even Xu Huang, who were also from Hedong, were only born locally, but lived in other counties, and they didn't know Anyi well.

……

Recalling all the things about the Wei family and those things back then, Zhang Yan couldn't help remembering that more than two years ago, he fought against the Baibo Huangjin led by Yang Feng and others in this Anyi county.

That time, it was with the help of the Wei family in the city that Zhang Yan was able to send his subordinates into the city ahead of time, rioted in the city, and took down the heavily guarded Anyi County.

If you have to say it hard, for Zhang Yan, this county in the east of the river is an old horse who knows the way and is familiar with the road.

Looking at the flowers, plants and trees he had seen more than two years ago, as well as the road he led his soldiers back then, Zhang Yan couldn't help but feel excited, his eyes became brighter and full of fighting spirit.

……

Two and a half years ago, I brought more than 5000 people, most of whom were young farmers with little combat experience, and won my first victory here in this world.

For Zhang Yan, Yang Feng and others at that time were undoubtedly more terrifying than Dong Zhuojun now, and they were also more difficult to defeat.

But he still won.

……

And now?

Turning around and looking back, behind Zhang Yan is a huge military camp composed of a full [-] troops.

The entire plain was densely packed with tents one by one, and there was a lot of noise and sounds of fighting and fighting.

Zhang Yan now is many times stronger than he was then.

Even if the enemy army is stronger than the original Yellow Turban Army, there is a limit to this strength after all.

As long as he inquired about the surrounding information in advance, and then determined the combat strategy, it would not be difficult for him to defeat the enemy and take down Hedong.

……

Anyi, Wenxi, Yishi, Dayang, Hebei, Puban, Fenyin, Pishi, Jiangyi, Linfen, Xiangling, Yangxian, Pingyang, Yongan, Beiqu, Puzi, Duanshi, Luize, Dongyuan and Jie County.

Unlike Lujiang River, which is located in a remote area with only four counties and six countries, Hedong has a full twenty counties.

None of these [-] counties are worse than big counties like Shu County and Qianshan in terms of prosperity.

If Zhang Yan can take these counties step by step, then for the Kwantung Allied Forces, on the Hedong front line, it is equivalent to having a strategic route to attack and defend.

There is a saying in the art of war, there is a basis for advancing and retreating, and there is a degree of relaxation, which is the kingly way.

Among these many counties, the most important and the most critical one is naturally the Anyi, the governor of Hedong.

……

"Pass on my order and call several generals to come to my account to discuss matters!"

"There are also Yuan Yi, Kong Rong and other eunuchs. I also asked them to arrange the garrison, and then they came to our army tent."

Waving his hands behind him, Zhang Yan suddenly spoke to the servants beside him.

"Before night falls today, we have to decide how to fight the next battle!"

……

In addition, he was not idle, so he took a few personal guards with him quickly, and first asked the guards outside the door to send them to his tent immediately if they received news of the scouts.

Afterwards, Zhang Yan also pulled together several staff officers in the army at the moment, and a group of people rushed into the main tent that had just been set up.

……

"Okay, everyone, please sit down."

"At this moment, I am in the barracks, and I am not above the court, so there is no need to be more polite."

……

Not long after, I saw the generals and counselors in charge of the army who Zhang Yan had sent to greet one by one entered the big tent where he was.
