Chapter 85 The Beginning of Total War

After Yuan Shao arrived, he immediately held a military meeting to analyze the reasons for Gao Lan's defeat.

Outside, fortifications were still being built in full swing. Inside the camp's first tent, Yuan Shao was at the top, looking down, while Gao Lan, Xin Ping and others were kneeling on one knee in the hall, holding a thorn and begging for mercy.

In front of them, there was a pool of burning flames.

"Ming Gong, this is the so-called high-strength wine brewed by Gongsun Zan. This wine can be ignited by fire and cannot be easily extinguished by water. It is indeed difficult to guard against."

Xun Chen looked at the pool of fire and said: "Although General Gao was defeated, I believe this was Gongsun Zan's last resort. General Gao did not expect this move, and he cannot be blamed for this."

Gao Lan immediately said: "Yes, Ming Gong, we had already won a great victory that day. Unexpectedly, Gongsun Zan used the cavalry as bait and tried to rush into the formation and set fire to the camp. Our troops had to arrange for troops to intercept. As a result, a large group of troops emerged from the woods to the south.

, threw the flaming glass bottle, the fire soon started, the camp was burned, the morale of the soldiers was greatly reduced, and then they were defeated."

When Yuan Shao was crusading against Dong Zhuo, he himself drank this wine, and later even bought this distilled wine from Gongsun Zan. In the past, he only drank it slowly like a treasure, but he didn't expect that it could be burned like fish paste. He pondered for a long time.

, asked Gao Lan: "Did you see clearly the people who came to burn the camp that day?"

Gao Lan shook his head: "There was no one defending the camp at that time. They came from the south with the banner of "Gongsun". Their number could not be clearly seen, but there were tens of thousands. When they got close to the camp, they immediately threw the bottle of fire.

We were scattered by Gongsun Zan's cavalry in front of us again, we really didn't know."

"Ming Gong is suspecting that there are reinforcements from Qingzhou?"

Liu Hui asked.

Yuan Shao said: "The enemy is coming from the south. There is also an official road between Fuyang and Gaocheng. No one can tell whether they are coming from Qingzhou."

Gao Lan immediately said: "Ming Gong, this is absolutely impossible. The only official road from Gaocheng has long been strictly controlled by us. Not to mention the official road, even most of the trails in the wild south of the city, rural pavilions and even uninhabited wilderness, we

There are sentries and patrols arranged, and if there is any movement, it will never escape my eyes and ears."

Yuan Shao pondered: "I have lived in the Bohai Sea for a long time, and I know the topography of this place well. Although most people in the Bohai Sea live in places such as Nanpi Dongguangchonghe, there are few people living on the seaside. However, there are also many fishing villages and many pavilions and trails, which can be reached from the seaside.

Take a detour."

"If so, then the carriage and horse baggage..."

Liu Hui asked back.

Yuan Shao nodded: "This is indeed a problem. If Qingzhou comes to help without baggage, the soldiers and horses will only carry some dry food with them, which will definitely not last long. Unless Gongsun Zan abandons the baggage and goes north, but in that case, he will have to pass Zhang Wu, and then

How many days can it last? I guess I’m overthinking it.”

No one cared too much about whether the enemy was Qingzhou reinforcements. Firstly, the enemy was flying the banner of "Gongsun". Secondly, there was also the banner of "Gongsun" on the city top, and they found a lot of fresh horse manure in the east of the city.

All can prove that Gongsun Zan is not far away.

Moreover, if the Qingzhou Army really detours to the seaside, what will happen to the baggage?

An army cannot travel by just two feet. There is also a large amount of baggage, carriages and horses. If we do not take the main road but take the seaside path, it is impossible for the baggage, carriages and horses to pass.

Because the population of Bohai County is mainly concentrated in the southwest corner, close to Anping Kingdom, Qinghe Kingdom, and Pingyuan Kingdom. There are seven or eight cities nearby, and the agricultural population basically lives in this area.

There is only Zhangwu County in the north, and there is not even a city near the sea in the east. In the vast wilderness, except for the paths of the sea people, there are almost no roads for carriages and horses.

Unless the Qingzhou reinforcements make no long-term plans at all, travel lightly and share the baggage with Gongsun Zan, in that case, Gongsun Zan's consumption of food and grass will increase exponentially.

What's more, there are still a large number of Qingzhou troops on the Qinghe Kingdom side, which makes it unclear what the situation is.

As the saying goes, the authorities are confused and the spectators are clear. Yuan Shao and others were deeply involved in the situation. Naturally, they did not know that Zang Ba and the others had really abandoned their baggage and had the infantry carry twenty days of dry food, plus some pickles left by Gongsun Zan in the city to survive.

This battle is just for the Qingzhou Army, but they don't really intend to continue to fight Yuan Shao in Fuyang. Sometimes you have to sell your teammates, and don't worry about running out of firewood to keep Qingshan.

After confirming that Gongsun Zan's use of the Flaming Bottle to defeat Gao Lan was his final trump card, Yuan Shao only punished Gao Lan symbolically and then prepared to attack the city.

In late December, the construction of the camp was completed.

On the second day after the camp was set up, Yuan Shao sat on a high platform outside the city, surrounded by flags and drums.

Near the stage and under the city in the distance, there were many battle formations.

The densely packed army was like a black cloud, blocking the gates of Fuyang City, as if it was going to crush the entire city.

In addition to the west gate, the north gate and the south gate were also under siege. The scouts who had been watching outside the east gate also came to report. In the woods outside the east gate, flocks of flying birds were startled.

It looks like they are surrounding three buildings, but in fact Yuan Shao has already set up an ambush outside the east gate, and his thoughts of destroying Gongsun Zan here are already palpable.

Yuan Shao's high platform was almost level with the city. About three miles away, looking ahead, he saw something reflecting on the city tower in the distance.

It looked like a mirror, but it didn't look like it, and I didn't know what it was. It kept pointing in his direction, which made people endlessly puzzled.

But it didn't matter, since he was three miles away anyway, he didn't believe that there could be arrows that could shoot three miles away and threaten his life.

Yuan Shao looked at the "Gongsun" flag on the top of the city from a distance, looked around, and chuckled: "Gongsun Zan has no way to escape. In today's battle, I will capture him and kneel in my tent!"

"Ming Gong is wise!"

"If Ming Gong personally holds the battle, Gongsun Xiaoer will be captured without any help."

"The day when we get Youzhou is just around the corner."

Many counselors and soldiers around him advocated Fa Luo and praised Yuan Shao for his brilliance and martial prowess.

Yuan Shao laughed loudly and waved his hand, preparing to order an attack on the city.

At this moment, Zang Ba was also observing outside the city.

He held a telescope in his hand.

As I said before, it is actually very difficult to make this thing with ancient Chinese glass technology.

Because our glass is lead-barium glass, it contains many impurities and is brightly colored. It can be used as bottles and jars. For example, it can be made into burning bottles, but it is opaque and cannot be made into telescopes.

Foreign glass is soda-lime glass, which has high transparency and strong practicality. For example, if you apply mercury on the back, it becomes a mirror, and after polishing and stacking, you can make a telescope microscope.

Therefore, for military purposes, our lead-barium glass has limited practicality. At least for many people who travel back in time, it would be unrealistic to immediately make telescopes.

So where did the telescope in Zang Ba's hand come from in Fuyang City?

The material used is crystal.

Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, crystal products have been very popular, and the grinding and polishing technology is also very mature and perfect.

Chen Mu knew the principle of the telescope. Coincidentally, the East China Sea at this time was a place that produced highly transparent crystals. In later generations, East China Sea crystals became famous overseas, including the transparent crystal coffins used by great men after their deaths, which were East China Sea crystals.

The East China Sea Kingdom is currently in the hands of Qingzhou, and the origin of the crystal is in its hands. Naturally, it is necessary to select the highest quality crystals to make crystal sheets, use iron as the casing, and create a batch of telescopes.

The number of these telescopes is small and the distribution is limited. Except for a few sent to Luoyang, only Liu Bei, Chen Mu, Zang Ba and others have them. They are very rare.

Although it doesn't have much use, it can at least predict the enemy and detect the necessary information before the enemy.

In Zang Ba's eyes, the enemy's actions were all in his eyes from the moment they left the camp.

Including Yuan Shao, who swaggered out of the camp surrounded by people, came to the high platform and looked down at the opposite side. He was three miles away, about 1.2 kilometers away. Every hair on his body could be seen clearly. His complacent look was perfect.

Appeared in front of Zang Ba's eyes.

"Yuan Shao is ready to attack."

Zang Ba saw Yuan Shao giving orders to the surrounding messengers, and then the messengers at all levels went out separately to convey Yuan Shao's orders to the ministries in front.

Huang Zhong said excitedly: "Let them come. We have been waiting for this day for a long time."

Xun You huddled his hands in his sleeves and said softly: "Yuan Shao's troops are marching into Zhangwu. Counting the days, Gongsun Zan should be arriving at Zhangwu soon. When he crosses the Hutuo River, the news will reach Yuan Shao. It will only take a few days."

Just hold on for two more days, and Yuan Shao will withdraw his troops in two days."

"What if Yuan Shao becomes so angry that he chooses to destroy us?"

Zang Ba asked.

Xun You smiled: "Ming Gong will be back soon."

In addition, there is Zhang Yan.

He said in his heart.

Zang Ba nodded, waved his hand and said: "The enemy is coming, prepare to fight!"

The towers of the city were full of bells and drums, the drums of both sides were thundering, and the war was about to break out.

.......

.......

As it gets closer to dusk, the war has come to an end.

The Muzhi people surrendered.

The current Three Koreas region is not three unified regimes.

Nominally, all countries belong to the Three Koreas, but in fact the ruling power of the three Korean kings is limited, and it is difficult to mobilize everyone to send troops.

So when all the countries of Benhan and Chenhan suddenly allied together to attack Mahan.

The countries of Mahan and Han were caught off guard, and the Buyeo people headed by the Muji people suffered a major blow. The King of Mahan was always held by the King of Muji. At the same time, Muji was also the largest kingdom of the Fuyu people.

When the Bianhan and Chenhan alliance came together, with a total of more than 20,000 troops, coupled with the dispatch of the powerful Qingzhou Army, they almost overran the entire Three Han area.

Don't look at it that these Qingzhou Army are just reserve recruits. In the Central Plains region, they may only be second- to third-rate troops, and even many soldiers have not seen blood yet.

But when it came to Sanhan, it was a dimensionality reduction strike. When those Sanhan soldiers without armor or even decent weapons encountered them, they were no different from lambs waiting to be slaughtered, and were easily swept away.

In mid-December, Chen Mu ordered Sun Guan to be the prefect of Sanhan, and then appointed a large number of local talents who managed Taishan Academy to serve as ministers of various countries. In name, they were deputy kings of various countries. In fact, they coordinated the entire Sanhan region and included this place.

The rule of the Han Dynasty.

If we want to fundamentally solve the problem of belonging, we have to start with education. Students from Taishan Academy entered the Land of Three Koreas, established schools, started teaching, and instilled Chen Mu’s theory of Chinese civilization into the people of the Land of Three Koreas.

Because Bianhan and Chenhan themselves belonged to the Qin people and had a certain sense of belonging. Therefore, they were not too resistant to this set of theoretical indoctrination. On the contrary, the survivors of the Shang Dynasty were more dissatisfied.

But the general trend is that the Fuyu people, the Huji people, the Woju people and other ethnic groups are no match for the Qingzhou army and soon surrendered to the court. Not to mention the Japanese, they have always bullied me. Their average height is only 1.3 meters.

Fourth, a bunch of dwarfs hardly pose any threat.

Although there are still remaining resistance forces, for example, in the north of Lelang County, which is later Jilin Province, there is already the Goguryeo regime established by Ju Mong of Buyeo. The Goguryeo regime is also a multi-ethnic system. It has always coveted the Sanhan area in the south and often went south to invade.

.

After the Qingzhou Army used nationalism to unify the three Koreas, the Fuyu people, the Kuji people, the Woju people in the territory were dissatisfied with the rule of the Han people, colluded with Goguryeo, and often rebelled, burning, killing and looting everywhere in the Mahahan area, creating chaos and intimidation

Big man.

However, the land of Three Hans is too small, with a small population, and only half of them are Qin people, so they will not participate in the rebellion. The opinions among the Mahahan and Han ethnic groups are not unified, some want to surrender, and some want to rebel.

The northeastern part of the Han Dynasty was very complicated. In addition to Goguryeo, there were also Fuyu, Huiqi, Woju, Yilou, Xianbei in the east, and the three Han territories.

Various ethnic groups live together, and the language is dominated by the language of the Fuyu people. The upper and lower structures of all countries are basically dominated by tribes.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! For example, Goguryeo was ruled by five major tribes: Weinudu, Juenu, Shunnu, Guannu, and Guilou. Originally, there was also a Juannu tribe that served as

The King of Goguryeo later weakened in power and was replaced by the Guilou tribe.

The enemy is in internal chaos and cannot be unified. In addition, the number of people is small and the combat effectiveness is low. Compared with the Qingzhou Army, which has already begun to carry out national unification, has strong combat effectiveness and is more united, it is almost difficult to pose any threat. Every time there is a slight movement,

It soon suffered a devastating blow.

However, Chen Mu has left these matters to Sun Guan and the students of Taishan Academy to deal with. Starting from the second year of Zhongping, that is, 185, to the end of 196, Taishan Academy has adopted a five-year academic system.

Trained 12 students.

Seven classes of students have graduated, and five classes are currently studying. Among the students who have graduated from these seven classes are Cui Yan's younger brother Cui Lin, and Zhuge Liang's elder brother Zhuge Jin.

Cui Lin entered the top class of Taishan Academy at the age of 11 and studied under Chen Mu, Guan Ning, Wang Lie, Bing Yuan and others. He achieved excellent results. He graduated from Taishan Academy three years later in 1888 and entered Taishan Academy at the age of 14.

He graduated at the age of 18 and is the fourth graduate of the academy. He worked in the Qingzhou Administration Department last year and accumulated some administrative experience. This year he was transferred to the Sanhan area.

Zhuge Jin's qualifications are similar to his, but Zhuge Jin is two years older than Cui Lin. Taishan Academy only accepts students under the age of 12, so he entered Taishan Academy directly and became the second student of the academy. Read more

He studied for one year and graduated two years earlier than Cui Lin. He was previously a county-level official in the local area and was transferred to Sanhan by Chen Mu.

The two of them, with Sun Guan as the prefect as the main body, Zhuge Jin and Cui Lin as the deputy, served as the county magistrate and chief historian in the Sanhan area, and the sixth and seventh fresh graduates as the main body, served as the prime ministers of various small countries, firmly

Control the grassroots in the Sanhan area, promote ethnic education, support Han forces, and suppress rebel organizations.

Chen Mu asked them to plan to coordinate the entire Three Han region within the next year. Whether it is a combination of vertical and horizontal alliances or infiltration and division, what he needs is to radiate from the Three Han region to the entire Liaodong at least next year.

Participate in the sphere of influence of Gongsundu of Liaodong.

As for how to do it, it is Sun Guan, Zhuge Jin and Cui Lin's business, and the task will be handed over to them. If they do not do it well, problems will naturally arise in their career, and others will be sent to deal with it in the future. This can also be regarded as a test for them.

Chen Mu himself took a boat back to Qingzhou.

It has now reached the beginning of a full-scale war, the layout of the three Koreas has been completed, and Gongsun Zan's future destination has been found. Therefore, he must return to sit in the center to prevent unnecessary accidents in the plan.

At the end of December, Chen Mu returned to the port of Laizhou Bay in Le'an State, and then rushed to Pingyuan without stopping to meet Xun Yu at Pingyuan Congress.

At this time, the general trend of the world has become clear.

Cao Cao and Liu Biao in the south were planning to deal with Yuan Shu, Sun Ce was still licking his wounds in Runan, Lu Bu occupied Guangling, Zhang Fei and Dian Wei met in the north of Pei State. Gongsun Zan was heading north and was preparing to cross the Hutuo River, Xu Rong was in Qinghe State, and Zang was in Qinghe State.

Ba stood firm in Fuyang, while Liu Bei also led his army and rushed back to Qingzhou.
