The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

When Xun Zhen asked, "Is there a secret report sent to Shanyang?", she knew that there must be no secret report sent to Shanyang in the near future, because "driving the Yellow Turbans from Lu to the west and taking the opportunity to enter Yan" is the top priority at present. He has already explained that Fan Shanyang has sent a secret report, and he must inform him immediately. Sure enough, Xuankang said: "Shanyang has no wwwん.la recently."

Xu Zhuo smiled and said, "No secret report is good news."

This is a good statement. If there is any change in Shanyang, then the spies in Shanyang will surely send urgent reports, and now there have been no secret reports for a few days, which means that the battle between the Xun army and the Yellow Turbans of Lu Kingdom will at least come to an end. So far, it has not aroused the vigilance of Yanzhou.

Xun You said: "Yuan Benchu ​​was fighting with Gongsun Bogui, and Liu Yanzhou was in the middle of it, and he was in a dilemma. Now I don't have time to take care of others."

Liu Dai has a good relationship with Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan. He is not only close to Yuan Shao, but also the family of his sons and daughters like Gongsun Zan. Yuan Shao even put all his family members to live with Liu Dai, in order to help Liu Dai defend against the Yellow Turbans, and also for the sake of To help Liu Dai take control of Yanzhou, Gongsun Zan sent a cavalry unit to be stationed in Shanyang to enrich Liu Dai's armed forces.

Now, Gongsun Zan is angry that Yuan Shao used a trick to coax him into sending troops, but because the animal husbandry of Jizhou was taken away by Yuan Shao, Chen's soldiers in the north and east of Hebei have a shame and vowed to fight with Yuan Shao's soldiers for Hebei. If a fight is about to break out, then Liu Dai, who is close to both of them, will be sandwiched between them, and it will become the object of competition between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan. According to the previous secret report from Shanyang, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan sent them to Shanyang to meet Liu Dai's messengers were in an endless stream, and in this situation, Liu Dai was inevitably in a dilemma.

On one side is Yuan Shao, the fourth and third princes, the Yuan family's disciples and former officials are all over the country, and the political background is extremely rich. Who to choose? A problem indeed.

Although Yanzhou is fertile and has a large population, firstly, the area is not large, and secondly, there is no natural danger on the four sides. In the land of Yanzhou, Liu Dai is hard to resist.

The so-called "strategic opportunity", the battle between Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao in Hebei has not yet begun, but for Xun Zhen, it has formed a rare strategic opportunity period.

First of all, because of Gongsun Zan’s Chen Bingji, Yuan Shao could no longer compete with Sun Jian for Yuzhou. This allowed Sun Jian to seize the time to use political or military means to strengthen his control over Yuzhou, and Xunzhen no longer had to worry about Yuzhou. Free your hands to grow outward.

Secondly, after freeing up his hands to develop outwards, it was still due to the rivalry between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan, and Liu Dai's attention was mostly attracted, leaving him no time to pay attention to Xun Zhen's small actions in Lu.

These are just two big benefits for Xun Zhen at the moment. As the war between Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao unfolds, it is foreseeable that Xun Zhen will definitely be able to get more benefits from it.

Xun Zhen looked at the map and pondered for a while, then said: "Since there was no movement in Shanyang, he sent Junqing: After defeating the Yellow Turbans of Lu State, all the three armies will pursue them, and they can stop at Rencheng first."

Xun Kang and others agreed.

Xun Zhen said again: "I ordered Yulang to dispatch five hundred cavalry and Zilong to dispatch a thousand soldiers to prepare for battle."

Xun You asked, "Does Junhou want to enter Yan in person?"

The battle of Lu Kingdom was already in sight. It was enough to have Xun Cheng's troops on Langya's side. There was no need to send reinforcements to these two places, but Xun Zhen ordered Xin Ai and Zhao Yun to mobilize some troops to prepare for the battle. Then his purpose is very obvious, without it, he must be intentionally bringing troops into Yan.

Xun Zhen nodded and said, "Liu Yanzhou has no time to take care of other things right now, but when our army enters Yanzhou, he will definitely react. This matter is of great importance. ."

This was something Xun Zhen had discussed with Xun You and others before, so Xun You had no objection, but said: "The prince ordered General Xun to reorganize the Mount Tai army on the spot after the Yanjia rebellion was settled. This is also an important matter. Hou Ruo is leaving Tan for Yan at this time, if there is a change in the troops of Mount Tai, what should be done?"

"Qing and Wenruo stay behind in Tanxian County, and if there is a change in Taishan's troops, the two of them have full power to handle it, so they can act cheaply."

Xun Yu was calm, but Xun You changed his mind. With the two of them staying in Tanxian County, and the assistance of local scholars in Xuzhou such as Zhang Zhao and Chen Deng, not to mention that if there was a change in the troops of Mount Tai, there would be a sudden attack by a powerful enemy. It is also enough to keep Xuzhou from chaos.

What's more, Rencheng is only three hundred miles away from Tanxian County. If there is something that Xun Yu and Xun You cannot solve, Xunzhen will return to Tanxian County very quickly from Rencheng.

Xun You and the others responded, "No."

...

Just when Xun Zhen ordered Xu Zhong to pass the order, Xu Zhong had just won a small victory on the battlefield in Zu County of the State of Lu.

Yesterday, when they were delivering the military report to Xun Zhen, Xu Zhong and Zang Ba had just completed their attack on the defeated Yellow Turbans in Bian, Wenyang, and Lu counties. He tried to break through, but was blocked by Xun Jun. Then, the Yellow Turbans in the city of Zuxian came out to save ~www.wuxiamtl.com~ The small victory that Xu Zhong had just won was in the battle against the Yellow Turbans in Zu County. A victory—to be precise, this victory was not won by Xu Zhong, but by Zang Ba.

Zang Ba lined up in the southeast of Zuxian County. His troops were facing the northwest to the northwest. The Yellow Turbans in Bian, Wenyang, and Lu counties were defeated, so they turned their backs to the county seat of Zu County. The Yellow Turbans in the city of Zu County saw this. Thinking that this is the disadvantage of Zang Ba's clan, they decided to leave the city. At the same time, in order to increase their confidence in winning, they almost came out of the city. The elite soldiers, the old and the weak, and the residents of the city were surrounded by tens of thousands of people, and they were very powerful. .

In addition to the troops used to stop the defeated Yellow Turbans in Bian, Wenyang and Lu counties from breaking through, Zang Ba has less than a thousand troops available to fight against the Yellow Turbans in Zu County. want to break.

Xu Zhong climbed high to watch the battle. Seeing this situation, he immediately sent Sun He to lead his troops to help. He also dispatched more than 100 cavalry from Zhang Fei's troops and also sent them to help. It has actually stabilized.

There is a saying that "kindness does not control the soldiers", Zang Ba's method of stabilizing his position is similar to Xu Zhong's method of stabilizing Pengcheng's soldiers before, but it is more cruel than Xu Zhong's method: he first countered the Yellow Turbans in Zu County with a hundred people, but he was unable to fight. , All those who retreated, he cut all of them, and then sent a hundred people, still ordered to counterattack the Yellow Turbans in Zu County, this time, these hundred people rushed to the enemy first, and there was no one who retreated, so they slightly broke the front line of the Yellow Turbans in Zu County, Zang County. Ba Ji's relatives led a hundred warriors, and then attacked again, breaking the front of the Yellow Turbans in Zuxian County and stabilizing the front of his army.

At this time, Sun He and Zhang Fei's troops arrived, and the three troops joined forces to launch an offensive against the Yellow Turbans in Zu County. This time, the attack formation of the Yellow Turbans in Zu County was completely defeated. Small wins.
