At this time, although Sun Jian could barely be considered a famous general and had fought many battles, he had never been on his own. He had always acted as a vanguard and other powerful generals. He had no experience in commanding an army of tens of thousands!

In the original historical time and space, the same was true when Sun Jian was fighting against Dong. After many defeats, he gradually became tempered.

Therefore, Zheng Xiaoming quickly sent Chen Deng, Yin Wei and others over to assist Sun Jian in training the Jingzhou troops, clarifying the entire command system, etc.

However, Zheng Xiaoming led his troops and rushed all the way to Yingchuan.

Of course, at this time, as his army arrived and was stationed in Yingchuan, the entire power of Yuzhou was already in Zheng Xiaoming's hands.

Although the governor of Yuzhou was not replaced, he was deposed and took control of the counties in Yuzhou.

This is also the reason why Zheng Xiaoming’s troops arrived so slowly!

Zheng Xiaoming originally controlled the two states of Qingxu. This time the army marched in, and by the way, he also controlled Yuzhou.

There is no way. Yuzhou is originally the base camp of the Yuan family in Runan, and his disciples and old officials are all over the place. If these places are not controlled, I am afraid there will be countless people in the rear who will cause trouble for him.

Even now, despite the large army suppressing him, there are many counties and counties in the newly occupied Qing and Henan states that are acting against Zheng Xiaoming and are secretly holding him back.

But as long as these people dare not openly raise their troops to fight, it will be a victory!

Just wait until Zheng Xiaoming succeeds in going to Luo, turn around, and then deal with these guys.

Of course, it is also conceivable that if Zheng Xiaoming's military operations are unfavorable, various rebellions may emerge one after another.

The most important thing now is to quickly break through the barriers and occupy Luoyang.

However, in the face of such a situation, it was not even what others expected, so they went all out to break through Guangcheng Pass and attack Luoyang.

Instead, he sent his general Zheng Ting with 30,000 troops to attack Dagu Pass. Then he sent general Yang Sheng with 20,000 troops to attack Sheyuan Pass.

Zheng Ting is a member of the Zheng clan who followed Zheng Xiaoming from E County. When the Zheng family was in E County, he was the leader of the family's private army.

And Yang Sheng was a knight-errant of the early generation in the county. He was the first to open the gate of the county and offer the county seat to Zheng Xiaoming.

Over the years, they have followed Zheng Xiaoming in many battles and their abilities have been tempered. But this time, they finally have the ability to lead troops on their own!

Zheng Xiaoming now has more than 100,000 troops under his command. With so many people crowded under Guangcheng Pass, they are of no use at all. Instead, they are a burden.

Therefore, Zheng Xiaoming divided his forces to attack, explaining to the two that they did not necessarily need to conquer the checkpoints, but only needed to contain the enemies at Sheyuan Pass and Dagu Pass so that they could not reinforce them.

Coupled with the Guangcheng Pass that Zheng Xiaoming led his own troops to deal with, and the Yique Pass that was restrained by Sun Jian in Nanyang, the strength of the defending Xiliang Corps was immediately thinned.

You must know that there are not so many Xiliang troops defending. Once four levels are defended, each level can only be assigned less than 10,000 people.

No matter how dangerous the pass is, once it does not have enough manpower to defend it, the result will be unbearable!

Now the defense is facing such pressure,

Zheng Xiaoming was still busy making siege equipment and training soldiers at the same time.

He knew very clearly that most of his soldiers were new recruits, and their combat effectiveness was worrying. Even the elite soldiers trained in Xuzhou may not be comparable to the veterans of the Liangzhou Army.

Therefore, Zheng Xiaoming was not in a hurry to attack the city, and did not advance at all rashly. He planned to crush the enemy with a majestic formation, an upright division, and absolute strength.

Zheng Xiaoming's formation did not give the defending army the slightest chance to sneak attack or counterattack.

This will greatly increase the pressure on the defensive side and continue to weaken morale!

Just when Zheng Xiaoming had made enough siege equipment and was preparing to attack the city, he did not expect that Yang Sheng would actually attack directly into the Shenyuan Pass, break through the barrier in one fell swoop, and take the lead.

But there was a captain named Hou Chao in the Shenyuan Pass. He was not from Xiliang, but from the Luoyang Northern Army. He was a colleague of Zheng Xiaoming for a period of time, and he had a relationship with Yang Sheng, who was under Zheng Xiaoming.

good.

Now seeing Zheng Xiaoming's army pressing down on the border, there were only 7,000 defenders in Sheyuan Pass. Hou Chao gritted his teeth and directly contacted Yang Sheng, secretly opened the city and dedicated the pass to the city.

Therefore, the fierce general Sun Jian did not make any achievements, nor did the army led by Zheng Xiaoming himself. On the contrary, the 20,000 troops led by Yang Sheng broke through first!

This was beyond Zheng Xiaoming's pre-arrangement. Fortunately, Yang Sheng reacted quickly enough. While sending people to quickly report to Zheng Xiaoming, he led the army to go around Guangcheng Pass and attack Guangcheng Pass.

Li Que, the guard general of Guangcheng Pass, was a strong general from Liangzhou under Dong Zhuo. However, his troops were limited, only 13,000, of which about half were from the Luoyang Northern Army.

At this moment, he suddenly saw a large army appearing behind him. He didn't know that the nearby checkpoint had been breached. He was so frightened that he hurriedly ordered his men to withdraw.

The fighting ability of his soldiers is really fierce, among which the three thousand Xiliang cavalry are the most powerful.

Unfortunately, there are another six to seven thousand people who were recruited from the Luoyang Northern Army. Although these people are not weak in combat effectiveness, they definitely do not have the courage and inclination to fight Zheng Xiaoming to the death.

After all, Zheng Xiaoming had been in the Northern Army for several years, so he was considered a member of the Northern Army's family! He was also the brother-in-law of Young Emperor Liu Bian. He was a relative, so he was a natural candidate to take over as the general.

Even the remnants of former General He Jin had little resistance to Zheng Xiaoming.

Because on the surface, Zheng Xiaoming and the He family have always had a good relationship, and they have never turned against each other.

Of course, what's more important is that Zheng Xiaoming's men are powerful, with more than 200,000 troops pressing down on the border, so these Luoyang Northern Army have no intention of fighting Zheng Xiaoming.

In the eyes of most people, especially the Luoyang Northern Army, this war is an internal conflict!

It was a war that Zheng Xiaoming launched against Yuan Wei and Dong Zhuo in order to restore the former emperor Liu Bian.

To put it bluntly, it's just the top management's struggle for power and profit, which has little to do with soldiers like them.

Not to mention, even those who were loyal to the Northern Army tended to side with Zheng Xiaoming.

Because the young emperor Liu Bian is the emperor with the highest legitimacy!

Due to various reasons, during the battle, the Luoyang Northern Army under Li Que simply slacked off and did not make any movement.

Li Que was so angry that he could only lead his Liangzhou soldiers and horses to defeat the blocking Yang Sheng army and fled back to Luoyang. If you like Futian in my heart, please collect it: (https://www.myxls.net) There is a blessing in my heart.
