"Gongsun Zan was defeated faster than expected," Bai Tu said helplessly to himself after receiving the news.
Originally, according to his shrinking energy in Yijing, it shouldn't be a problem to survive until next year. Unexpectedly, Gongsun Zan suddenly regained his former bravery and his defeat was advanced a lot!
Although the last battle was fought magnificently, if Gongsun Zan had been allowed to choose, he would have preferred the way he died. Yuan Shao almost lost his life to him, but this battle caused Yuan Shao to suffer more losses than when Gongsun Zan was defeated in history.
It's bigger, but it also makes Yuan Shao's situation much better.
During the decisive battle in Yijing, the Black Mountain Army in Hebei, or the Black Mountain bandit Zhang Yan, and Gongsun Du in Liaodong were all persuaded by Gongsun Zan to join forces to fight against Yuan Shao.
After Gongsun Zan died in battle, all parties were not spared from being severely damaged in the chaos.
It is not surprising that Gongsun Zan took action in person. Firstly, he was already established in martial arts and was very "brave". When he saw Lu Bu at Hulao Pass, he dared to come up and make gestures. Secondly, Gongsun Zan was already in the army before he came.
Li Xin, only if he personally leads the army again can morale be boosted, otherwise even the white-horse Yi Cong will not fight for him with all their lives.
It's just that Yuan Shao is now rich in the four states, and has Qingjiyou in hand. He needs people, food, and horses. He can be said to be a fat group. At this time, Gongsun Zan is no longer a big enemy, and some soldiers and horses are damaged.
You will recover soon.
After all, the Black Mountain Army is just a civilian uprising army. It is said that it has some relationship with the Yellow Turbans. It appeared in the Taihang Mountains of Hebei after the Yellow Turbans Uprising was suppressed.
It is said to gather millions of people, which is considered good among "thieves and bandits" in various places, but it is not small, and in terms of war potential, it is definitely not comparable to Yuan Shao, who has four states.
Liaodong is still a bitter cold place today. Even though it is a "holy place to avoid disasters", many people and talents from the Central Plains moved to Liaodong during the troubled times, but it can only be regarded as the beginning.
Their family's vitality has been severely damaged, and I'm afraid they can only shrink back and lick their wounds for a long time.
In this way, just like in history, Cao Cao was very happy when his war horse ran out of time and found that the Qiang people kept coming for reinforcements. These people were broken into pieces and occupied the terrain to "make trouble". It was still a matter of diversion, but if all of them were
If you run out, just destroy it!
Yuan Shao's move was not considered a loss. While losing troops and generals, he gained a more stable Hebei.
Just when Bai Tu lamented Gongsun Zan's defeat, the official seal suddenly shook. After taking it out, he found that it was Hefei Ji who had important matters.
Not caring about anything else, Bai Tu hurriedly went to Chengji Mansion.
Although Yuan Shao, who is far away in Hebei, has now become the most powerful prince, it has no impact on Bai Tu for the time being. After all, there are still Guanzhong, Central Plains, and Hefei Ji's affairs in between. This is the highest level of "warning"!
When I arrived at Cheng Ji's Mansion, I first discovered that Hefei Ji was not at the martial arts arena today.
As soon as he entered the middle hall behind the martial arts arena, Bai Tu was surprised to find that in addition to Hefei Ji, there was also an unknown Cheng Ji.
Normally, this is not the first time Bai Tu has seen Cheng Ji visit, but this person is not a translucent figure, but a real entity!
"Who are you?" At first, Bai Tu thought he had discovered Yi Ji, but looking at the look on this girl's face and He Fei Ji's, he didn't think it was the same.
Hefei Ji's face was full of anger at this time, while Cheng Ji, whom Bai Tu didn't recognize, looked a little embarrassed. It could be seen that she usually dressed very gracefully, which was different from Hefei Ji, Xiao Peiji, and Qu Aji.
It is somewhat similar to the Jinling Princess who has initially recovered, but she is not as dull-eyed as Jinling Princess.
It's just that now he also looks gloomy.
Could it be that Cheng Ji ran away?
Bai Tu couldn't help but feel a jump in his heart. If Cheng Ji really ran away, something big might happen!
The last time Cheng Ji ran away was after the Battle of Hulao Pass, when Dong Zhuo set fire to Luoyang and took the people westward to Chang'an, Luoyang Ji ran away from the city.
"Something happened in Shouchun!" Hefei Ji said seriously.
"What did Yuan Shu do?" Bai Tu asked in shock.
You must know that even when Cao Cao was causing chaos in Xuzhou, Pengcheng Ji did not run away!
Cao Cao also grasped the scale and controlled the situation within the safety line for Cheng Ji to escape.
"That Yuan Shu has gone crazy and forcibly extracted eight times the manpower, and then sent officers into the city to rob the people of their property, and even burned, killed and looted." Shouchunji said painfully.
Cheng Ji's emotions will be affected by the emotions of the local people.
Before Shouchun Ji could finish speaking, Bai Tu had already greeted Tai Shi Ci: "Immediately, inform all the battalions to prepare for war!"
At the same time, corresponding information was also conveyed to Guangling City and Anhui City through Hefei Ji.
Shouchunji also said at this time that there was no warning about what had just happened, or that it was deliberately hidden from Shouchunji. This morning, Yuan Shu's army suddenly showed its fangs to Shouchun under his rule.
Although the inner city is protected by Cheng Ji's mysterious power, it is difficult for Ji Zao's soldiers to enter, but Yuan Shu gathered thousands of grassroots officers to directly enter the city. The combat power of ordinary city defense troops, even Bai Tu can fight several of them alone.
Even if you have the best intentions, you can't stop the grassroots generals who are like wolves and tigers.
Shouchun City instantly fell into a planned looting. Shouchun Ji contacted Yuan Shu but received no reply. When she first wanted to leave, she was blocked by Zhong Ji.
It was not until Yuan Shu's main force began to evacuate Shouchun in the afternoon that Zhong Ji disappeared into Cheng Ji's Mansion, and Shouchun Ji immediately left and came to Ji's Mansion in Hefei.
Because Cheng Ji "ran away from the city" and came to Hefei immediately, Bai Tu learned the news relatively quickly. Yuan Shu had just left Shouchun, and two-quarters of an hour later, Bai Tu was already in front of the general stage.
Looking at the hurriedly assembled soldiers, Bai Tu said with a gloomy face: "Everyone here, some are from Jiangdong and some are from Huainan. In order to save the people of Huainan from floods and fires, we came to Hefei during this hot and drought time.
But just now, I met Shouchunji
The beastly behavior of Dong thief in Luoyang has reappeared in Shouchun today. I know that in this kind of weather, where the sun has already set in the west, but there is still no chill, it is very tiring to march in a hurry, but now countless people in Shouchun are fighting against Yuan thief.
Can you endure the tears and bloodshed amidst the raging bandits?"
When Bai Tu mentioned Shouchun Ji, many officers who were from Huainan and even had their families in Shouchun County looked unnatural.
"No, no, no!" After hearing the news brought by Bai Tu, both the generals from Jiangdong and the generals from Shouchun shouted.
Especially the latter, there was already urgency in his voice.
Bai Tu's previous assembly order did not avoid the surrender of troops remaining in Hefei.
Normally speaking, although the surrendered troops in Hefei were abandoned by Yuan Yin, even if they had been incorporated, Bai Tu would not mobilize this part of the troops if not necessary when he conquered Yuan Shu. After all, they were more numerous than other armies.
There is some danger of betrayal.
However, after hearing the news about Shouchun just now, Bai Tu felt that it was impossible for them to betray him and would only be more eager to go back. However, there were many grassroots generals from the Shouchun area.
And Bai Tu also knew that there was no time to delay, so he immediately ordered: "Father! Take all the cavalry and rush to Shouchun at full speed immediately. If the rebels surrender, they will not be spared and will be killed immediately! In order to restore Shouchun as quickly as possible."
Spring Order!”
"Here!" After Lu Bu stepped forward to receive the order, he immediately left with the generals at all levels belonging to the cavalry.
"Jiang Qin, lead your troops to stay in Hefei on my behalf. The rest of the army will follow me and move quickly!" Bai Tu ordered.
This time, Bai Tu really "leads the troops". He didn't even sit in the carriage. He wore battle armor and marched with all the soldiers.
Bai Tu's training during this period has also yielded some results. Although he holds the title of "General of Chariots and Cavalry", he is still in wood and stone armor. He is not promoted as fast as Lu Lingqi. It is a bit embarrassing, but at least he can feel that he has broken through the gilding.
Not far away either.
At this time, Bai Tu's wood and stone battle armor had an motivating effect. Even Bai Tu, who was a "literati", followed him in the rapid march. What could the others complain about?
For a time, all the corps commanders and even commanders in the army struggled to keep up, and tried their best to lead the Ji Zao soldiers under their command.
In the age of cold weapons, forced marches were the easiest thing to do to lose morale, so long-distance attacks were so difficult. Anyone who could successfully conduct a forced march would become a "famous general" who would leave his name in history.
The same goes for the Cold Weapon Age in the Chengji World. Not only does the Ji-made soldier have a limit problem, but the wood-and-stone armor does not have unlimited power. Most of the commanders and even the longer armors do not have extra BMW engines loaded on them.
However, now that Bai Tu was "taking the lead", especially the local grassroots generals in Huainan, they were already eager to return home, so they headed north in a steady and steady manner!
Even after dark, holding a torch and walking forward, no complaints reached Bai Tu.
Bai Tu is not worried about being deceived. Cheng Ji does not need to say anything, but she will not assist in lying. This is the basic principle.
Yuan Shu's current main force should have left when Shouchunji came to Hefei City. Zhongji had been restricting Shouchunji's actions before. As the princess of the dynasty, Zhongji had more authority over Shouchunji's Mansion than Shouchunji.
high.
It wasn't until Zhong Ji and Yuan Shu left together that Shouchun Ji was able to escape and arrived at Hefei Ji in an instant.
However, Bai Tu understood that Shouchun's tragedy had just begun.
Before Yuan Shu left, at most he had hastily looted some "big targets" and took away the ones that were easy to carry away. Judging from Shouchun's current situation, it is almost certain that the only difference between Yuan Shu and Dong Zhuo when he burned Luoyang was that he would not hold them hostage.
The people went north together.
After all, his food is not that abundant to begin with!
In addition to the main force, there must be other armies that will leave one after another and have the opportunity to loot one after another.
Yuan Shu will definitely use this as a "welfare" to win the trust of those troops who are not directly related to him, not to mention that some troops will simply take advantage of the opportunity.
Now the people of Shouchun are having their bones and marrow sucked out, so Bai Tu directly asked Lu Bu to go first!
It is less than 200 miles from Hefei City to Shouchun City, and there are smaller counties or garrison fortresses along the way, but the main Chinese army is in Hefei.
Historically, when Cao Cao was chasing Liu Bei in Dangyang, the tiger and leopard cavalry traveled 300 miles a day. Bai Tu believed that the Bingzhou cavalry led by his adoptive father would not be much different. After traveling all night, they should be able to arrive at dawn.
As for the main force of numerous infantrymen, Bai Tu also has to strive to bring them to Shouchun within three days.
It is conceivable that when Yuan Shu fled in despair, many armies may have become rebels. At this time, not only Shouchun City, but also the countryside where Yuan Shu had no time to search carefully must be in chaos. Lu Bu had a small number of elite cavalry, so he could only rescue Shouchun first.
In Chuncheng, if we want to restore order and maintain order in several counties in Shouchun area, we still need Bai Tu's main force to arrive!
