Chapter 637 The situation between Qingzhou and Yanzhou, a great victory
The Fan Yangzu family was a large gentry family in the Middle Ages.
Representative figures: Zu Ti, Zu Taizhi, Zu Chongzhi, Zu Ying, Zu Jue, Zu Hongxun, Zu Junyan, Zu Xiaosun, etc.
During this period, the ancestral family was still an ordinary medium-sized family. It was not until the Wei and Jin Dynasties that the Fan Yang ancestral family developed into a noble family.
"Book of Jin. The Biography of Zu Ti" records that Zu Ti's family background was "an official of two thousand stones, an old surname in Beizhou". In other words, Zu Ti's ancestors had officials at or above the county level for many generations.
It is precisely because of this that the ancestral family successfully became a prominent family in Youzhou during the Western Jin Dynasty.
Even though the Zu family at this time was far inferior to the Lu family, its own strength was not weak. With the joint attack of the two families, they quickly gathered nearly 10,000 troops and recaptured Fanyang County from the hands of the Yellow Turban Army.
There are only seven counties in the entire Zhuo County, so this also led to the fact that even Ge Rong placed most of his troops in Liangxiang, and there were also many troops in other places.
Therefore, except for Fanyang County, even if the aristocratic families in other places were able to eliminate the Yellow Turban Army in the county, they could not stop the Yellow Turban Army's crazy counterattack, and they would eventually end up dead!
However, in general, Zhuojun finally has two counties and is still in the hands of the Han army. This is already a huge progress.
As long as the time is ripe, the clarion call for counterattack will sound sooner or later.
After this incident, Ge Rong also received news from Zhang Liang, that is, all the captured resources were taken away, and then the troops deployed in Zhuo County were also evacuated to Shanggu County to join the Yellow Turbans from Yuyang County and Guangyang County.
!
Zhang Liang also saw that the Han army in Zhuojun was not easy to attack. If the troops were too scattered, it would give them an opportunity!
Therefore, Ge Rong was asked to lead the Yellow Turban Army from Zhuo County to Shanggu County, while Zhang Liang took the grain, grass and money he had plundered to join Zhang Jiao in Jizhou.
However, what Zhang Liang didn't know was that as soon as his large group of troops left, Wang Chong, who had already known the news, immediately sent Liaoxi Prefect Zhao Bao to lead a large army to counterattack.
Not only that, Liu Yu, who was appointed by Liu Hong as the governor of Youzhou a month ago, quickly seized this rare opportunity to command tens of thousands of troops in Youbeiping, and joined forces with Sun Zan, the commander of the Liaodong army, and Zhao Bao, the prefect of the western Liaoning army.
.
Launched an attack on Zhang Ju's brothers stationed in Yuyang.
However, Zhang Ju brothers united with the Jurchens in the north and led the foreigners south to fight against the Han coalition.
At this point, the entire northern territory of Youzhou has turned into a pot of porridge.
If here in Youzhou, the war situation fell into a stalemate due to the departure of Zhang Liang's army, then here in Qingzhou, after a fierce battle, it ended with the temporary victory of the Han army.
…………
On the Qingzhou battlefield.
At the beginning, since both sides did not know each other's strength very well, it was basically a trial battle, and the number of troops sent each time was only ten or twenty thousand.
However, as both sides have a general understanding of each other, the generals on both sides do not want to continue to waste time.
In particular, at this time, Qin Qiong had an additional counselor, Uncle Jian, who in this life was Bai Jian, who was born in the Bai family.
Uncle Jian, a famous politician and military strategist in the pre-Qin period, took Baili Xi in when he traveled to Qi State in his early years. This deeply laid the foundation for his future.
Later, in order to complete his hegemony and recruit talents, Duke Mu of Qin sent Baili Xi, an official who had redeemed five sheepskins, to visit talents all over the country. Bailixi recommended the hermit Uncle Jian, who was later awarded the position of official and moved to the right.
Chief concubine.
During the period when the Qin State was handling state affairs, Uncle Jian enacted laws and taught the people internally, promoted benefits and eliminated harm, and made Rong and Di surrender externally. Under his governance, the Qin State became increasingly powerful.
Not only that, Uncle Jian also had a strong military vision. Before the battle between Qin and Jin, Uncle Jian cried bitterly three times against Duke Mu of Qin's sneak attack on Zheng. Duke Mu of Qin was stubborn and refused to listen to Uncle Jian's dissuasion and used his troops to attack Zheng, which ultimately led to a disastrous defeat.
Around 610 BC, Uncle Jian finally passed away and died in Qin.
As a minister of a vassal state, Uncle Jian's simple and simple conduct not only set an example for officials, but also moved the people.
In diplomacy, Uncle Jian showed kindness to the princes, established the prestige of Qin, and laid the foundation for Duke Mu of Qin to dominate.
Duke Mu of Qin followed Uncle Zhai's advice and developed east and west, greatly expanding the territory of Qin and becoming a decisive force among the major vassal states.
It was with the assistance of Uncle Jian and others that Duke Mu of Qin promoted advantages and eliminated disadvantages, implemented reforms, and finally achieved hegemony and became one of the five hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period.
It can be said that Uncle Jian is the one with the strongest comprehensive ability under Qin Mugong.
And this is also true.
[Dingdong, Uncle Jian (Bai Jian)’s current five-dimensional attributes are commander: 96, force: 82, intelligence: 97, politics: 99, charm: 98, special attributes, diplomacy: 99; ]
It can be said that whether Uncle Jian is leading the army, making suggestions, or being in power, he is a talented person who is equal to his peers.
But this time, the system implanted it into him and went to Qingzhou with Qin Mugong. For Huang Chao, who didn't know the truth, it was definitely a hidden bomb.
It was this hidden bomb that caused Huang Chao to be defeated by Qin Qiong, because Uncle Jian set up a chain plan for Huang Chao that seemed very clever.
That is to lure the snake out of its hole.
In these days, Qin Qiong and Lu Zhi had been exchanging letters, and naturally they knew about the situation in Yanzhou. Therefore, Qin Qiong also intended to send a support force to help Lu Zhi.
His idea was very simple, that is, let Lu Zhi hold on for a while longer, and then wait for him to defeat Huang Chao, recover for a few days, and then quickly gather an army to help.
Uncle Jian took advantage of this and asked Bai Shu (Xiqi Shu) to command 5,000 cavalry, disguised as an army of 30,000, to support Lu Zhi. By then, Huang Chao would definitely fall into the trap.
Because this is a conspiracy.
Even if Huang Chao had figured out that this was a strategy of the Han army, without knowing the specific number of reinforcements, he had to intercept them, otherwise, the Yanzhou Yellow Turbans would be miserable.
Once these reinforcements are allowed to enter Yanzhou, with Gao Yingxiang's ability, they may not be able to hold on for long.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Even Lu Zhi does not need to defeat Gao Yingxiang once. He only needs to defeat him once and damage his attack, so that he can dedicate part of his troops to support Qingzhou.
By then, he will be even more dangerous.
Therefore, even if he knew it was a trick, for the sake of the great cause of the Yellow Turbans and for his own safety, Huang Chao had to take the bait.
Besides, Huang Chao is also a conceited person. Now that he has an opportunity for a decisive battle, it was given to him by the Han army, so he will not let it go.
Therefore, everything was as Uncle Jian expected. When Huang Chao learned the news, he immediately started preparing for the decisive battle.
In addition to the personnel needed to guard the city from various places, Huang Chao mobilized a total of 130,000 troops this time.
On the other hand, the Han army here, even if you add the more than 45,000 troops of Qin Xu, Qin Qiong and his grandson, as well as the 15,000 infantry sent by Qin Yi and Qin Mu, plus the new soldiers who have only been trained for a few months,
, there are only more than 60,000 troops at best.
Not only that, there were also five thousand cavalry serving as bait.
In other words, the total strength of the Han army was only 50,000, while the strength of the Yellow Turban Army was twice that of the Han army.
But even so, Qin Qiong won in the end.
After all, Qin Qiong was blessed by the combo skill "Three Generations Under One Roof" this time. Although Qin Qiong has not yet reached his peak, his command attribute has also reached 97.
His own skills are already increased in field battles and critical battles. Coupled with the Three Generations Combination Skill, as long as he is the leader, he can activate it to the maximum, instantly increasing the command value by three points.
In other words, Qin Qiong's commander attribute at that time was at least 102.
On the other hand, Huang Chao's current commander attribute is only 95, which can be regarded as skill blessing. Even the combination skills of the Five Tigers of Qi cannot push him to the level of over 100.
In other words, he is not as good as Qin Qiong in terms of commander-in-chief.
And in terms of force, he is even worse than Qin Qiong.
There are many fierce generals here in Qin Qiong, including Yuchi Gong, Qin Hu, Qin Xi, Qin Fang, Xiqi Shu, Bai Yibing and many others. Some of them have the strength to rival the God of War.
On the contrary, in Huang Chao, the only ones with real strength reaching the God of War level are Meng Juehai, Deng Tianwang, and him as the coach, and the others are also at the God General level.
So this also led to the fact that after a long battle, Xiqi Shu suddenly led five thousand cavalry to join the battlefield, which became the last straw that overwhelmed Huang Chao.
Since then, the Donglai County battlefield has ended!
From the beginning to the present of this battle, the Han army killed more than 65,000 Yellow Turban troops, captured more than 53,000 prisoners, and suffered more than 15,000 self-inflicted losses. It can be said to be a great victory.
Not only that, Huang Chao's generals Xu Tangju, Liu Hanhong, and Cao Shixiong, three system figures, also died in battle. In addition to the three of them, there were also more than a dozen local figures, all recruited by Huang Chao.
After defeating Huang Chao, Qin Qiong's army prepared to recover Donglai County, the city that had fallen into the hands of the Yellow Turban Army, and then began to recover for a period of time.
If Qin Qiong led the army to a great victory here in Qingzhou, then the same is true here in Lu Zhi.
After Qin Qiong rested for five days, he immediately divided his troops into two groups.
One group was led by his father Qin Yi and was responsible for guarding against Huang Chao's troops. The other group was led by him personally and went to Yanzhou to help Lu Zhi and help him defeat the Yellow Turban Army.
However, the distance between Donglai and Chenliu is not as simple as crossing several counties. Qin Qiong knew the difficulties and dangers involved without even thinking about it, but he still had to do it.
Because only in this way can he break the current deadlock.
…………
However, before Qin Qiong led his ten thousand cavalry and left the border of Qingzhou, he received the news from the spies.
Lu Zhi was already in Chenliu County, united with Liangshan Guo Wei's troops, and defeated Gao Yingxiang's army outside Chenliu City. He killed 60,000 enemies, captured 20,000 prisoners, and suffered 25,000 self-inflicted losses.
Not only that, Lu Zhi, with the support of the Liangshan army commanded by Chai Rong, rescued Liu Guang's Dongping Kingdom, defeated Li Zicheng, killed 15,000 enemies and captured 6,000 prisoners, and relieved the crisis of Dongping Kingdom.
This time, Lu Zhi was able to achieve such a brilliant victory, and Guo Wei definitely took a lot of credit.
Since Wang Yu sent Guo Wei to Liangshan a few years ago, Guo Wei has begun to vigorously develop Liangshan's power, and Wang Yu has also sent some special talents to join him many times.
With the support of Wang Yu, Guo Wei's Liangshan army grew stronger and stronger. Before the Yellow Turban Uprising, it already had an army of 30,000 and defeated the army of Liu Guang many times.
If Guo Wei hadn't wanted to develop in silence and not want to stand out so much that he would attract the attention of the imperial army, Guo Wei would have led the army to conquer the Dongping Kingdom long ago based on Liu Guang's several provocative actions.
There is no room for it, they are now fighting against the Yellow Turban Army.
Ultimately, it was the wrong time to become famous.
After the Yellow Turban Uprising, the official troops of the Dongping Kingdom who were close to Liangshan no longer had the intention to continue attacking Liangshan. After all, the Yellow Turban Army was already pressing down on the territory.
If they still lead the army to attack Liangshan at this time and force their fierce men to the Yellow Turban Army, then Liu Guangke will never be able to atone for his sins.
Therefore, from the Yellow Turban Rebellion until now, Liangshan has acted as a neutral party, neither helping the Yellow Turban Army nor choosing to help the Han Army, which was once the enemy, as if it was waiting for a price.
However, Liangshan also had the qualifications to do this. Before the Yellow Turban Uprising, there were more than 30,000 people in Liangshan Village. After the Yellow Turban Uprising, Guo Wei took the opportunity to recruit refugees from Yanzhou and other places.
However, in more than half a year, Liangshan now has 40,000 people, and it is also 800 miles away from the danger of water. Even if the Yellow Turban Army encircles and suppresses it, it will be difficult to capture it.
After all, Li Zicheng tried it himself.
Before attacking the Dongping Kingdom, Li Zicheng took the lead in attacking Liangshan. However, because Liangshan was 800 miles away from a water hazard, Li Zicheng could not even pass the water barrier, so he was beaten by the navy leader Li Jun and fled in embarrassment!
This battle lasted for a month and ended with Li Zicheng's defeat.
In this battle, only 20,000 of the 50,000 Yellow Turban army commanded by Li Zicheng managed to escape, while 10,000 of the remaining 30,000 were captured and 20,000 were killed.
On the Liangshan side, the loss was less than 5,000 men and horses.
After this battle, Guo Wei completely established his reputation.
Although he repeatedly repulsed Liu Guang's army many years ago, Liu Guang's ability was not as good as Li Zicheng's. This can be seen from the results Li Zicheng gave up attacking Liangshan and instead attacked Dongping Kingdom.
Although Li Zicheng had not yet attacked Dongping at that time, Gao Yingxiang already knew Guo Wei's ability, so he sent someone to meet him with gifts to express his apology!
Not only that, Gao Yingxiang was also sincere and expressed his appreciation for Guo Wei's leadership ability, saying that as long as he was willing to lead Liangshan to defect to the Yellow Turbans, he would be one of the thirty-six Fangqu commanders of the Yellow Turban Army.
Not only that, Gao Yingxiang can personally speak for him, allowing him to continue to control Liangshan, which can be his trump card. Even he, the leader of the Yanzhou Yellow Turban Army, is not allowed to interfere with the areas under his jurisdiction.
Of course, Gao Yingxiang had his own purpose in doing this.
As he said, he took a fancy to Guo Wei's leadership ability.
Of course, this is only one reason. The biggest reason is the army controlled by Guo Wei.
