Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty

Chapter 840

Since the defeat of Yecheng, Yuan Shao's temperament has changed drastically, and he frequently beats and scolds his subordinate generals. What's more, Gao Lan has lost the city now. Yuan Shao knows that he will not easily let Gao Lan go.

Thinking about going, Gao Lan was discouraged and didn't dare to go back to Jicheng to find Yuan Shao. He took hundreds of remnants all the way south and went straight to Yecheng.

Fei Rucheng quickly fell under the attack of the three Korean soldiers, and the remaining cities in Liaoxi County were just like a broken bamboo. Because the garrisons in these cities are far less than Fei Rucheng, and there are no such fierce generals as Gao Lan guarded by them. Under Gongsun Kang's attack, they naturally fell one after another.

Unlike Gongsunkang, Yuan Shao's army was greatly reduced after the defeat in Yecheng. Although Yuan Shao subsequently enlisted in Youzhou, he still received little. After all, Youzhou had experienced the successive battles between Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu, as well as between Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao, and Ding Zhuang suffered many deaths and injuries.

Moreover, if too many strong men are transferred, it will inevitably affect the spring ploughing in the coming year, so the number of soldiers added by Yuan Shaojun is really limited.

But Gongsundu is different. For him, the soldiers of Goguryeo and Sanhan are simply dispensable. It doesn't matter how many deaths they have. For Gongsundu, they are the stepping stones for his great cause.

Therefore, when Gongsun Kang led the striker to attack the city, he naturally did not care about the deaths and injuries of the three Korean soldiers. Each city was filled with human lives. Just attacking the remaining counties in western Liaoning, the three Korean soldiers had more than five casualties. Thousands of people!

Jicheng.

"Father, father!"

"Lord, what do you want? The Lord is just resting."

Yuan Tan pushed away the guard who blocked him, and said angrily: "I have something to ask my father, don't stop me!"

"Cough cough cough...Xiansi, what is so uneasy?"

Suddenly an old man with a gray beard walked out with a gloomy expression, it turned out to be Yuan Shao! It is hard to imagine that the leader of the princes who once led a group of heroes and was so energetic, who rallied to fight against Dong Zhuo, would actually age like this.

"Father, Gongsun Du sent troops to attack our army. Fei Rucheng has fallen!" Yuan Tan said anxiously.

"What? Cough cough cough..."

Yuan Shao's face turned pale when he heard the words, and he coughed loudly. The maids behind him hurriedly stepped forward and gently stroked Yuan Shao's back, which stopped Yuan Shao's coughing.

"Where is Gao Lan? Gao Lan failed to hold Fei Rucheng?" Yuan Shao said gloomily.

Yuan Tan shook his head: "Not only did Gao Lan fail to hold the city head, but he also took the remaining hundreds of remnants and didn't know where to flee. It's really damned."

"...Gao Lan probably left because he lost Fei Rucheng and feared that he could not be spared by loneliness." Yuan Shao sighed.

"Anyway, Gao Lan's defeat is already a sin, and if he doesn't return to Jicheng, he simply doesn't put my Yuan family in his eyes!"

Yuan Tan said coldly: "I will lead my troops to kill Gao Lan's family later, let him know the consequences of escaping!"

Yuan Shao frowned. He wanted to stop Yuan Tan, but after thinking about it, he gave up.

"Also, kill the chickens and curse the monkeys. In this way, it is estimated that the other civil and military generals in the city will not dare to surrender casually."

Yuan Shao continued: "Where has Gongsun Jun hit now?"

"Except for Feirucheng, several counties in the west of Liaoning have been captured. Now Gongsun Kang has led the forward troops and horses into Youbeiping, heading towards Tuyin City." Yuan Tan arched his hands.

"Hey... Let Yan Liang lead five thousand soldiers and horses to Tuyin City, and be sure to stop Gongsun Kang's offensive!"

Yuan Shao sighed. Now the total number of soldiers and horses in Youzhou is more than 20,000. Except for those scattered in various places, only 10,000 are concentrated in Jicheng, and 5,000 are sent to account for half.

"Father, how about Haier and General Yan?" Yuan Tan asked for orders.

Yuan Shao frowned: "Alright, let you go to experience it, but this time is not trivial. Do you have to listen to what Yan Liang said? Yan Liang is a veteran who has followed his father for many years, and he has deep experience."

Yuan Tan nodded: "Father can rest assured, the child will take care of it."

"Well, go out."

Yuan Shao waved his hand, he also felt a little tired, so he returned to the inner room with the help of the maid.

After Yuan Tan went out, the first thing he did was to kill Gao Lan's whole family and the whole family to clean up, causing the rumors in Jicheng.

At first, Gao Lan hadn't surrendered, and he was just planning to wait for Yuan Shao's anger to disappear. However, after hearing that his whole family had been killed by Yuan Tanzhu, he suddenly screamed.

"Damn it! Yuan family, I will kill it!"

After all, Gao Lan finally made up his mind and went to Yecheng.

At this time, Yan Liang led five thousand elite soldiers and rushed towards Tuyin City.

Tuyin City has a long history. As early as the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju's brothers rebelled in Youzhou. Zhang Ju claimed to be Mi'an Heavenly King and garrisoned Tuyin City. It is worth mentioning that Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun brothers and Wu Huan rebelled together, and it was precisely under Gongsun Zan's suppression that they failed.

"Fortunately, Grand Master, Gongsun Kang hasn't reached Tuyin City yet."

Yan Liang looked at the Yuan character war flag flying high above Tuyin City, and he was relieved.

"Well, the whole army is stationed in Tuyin City!"

With Yuan Tan’s order, five thousand Yuan Jun quickly entered the city of Tuyin. Yuan Tan pointed at five thousand Yuan Jun and caused the leader Yan Liang to be very unhappy, but Yan Liang had nothing to do. After all, Yuan Tan is Yuan Shao’s son. Commanding the army is also a matter of course.

"Hmph, as long as he holds this army in his hands, even if his father wants to pass the position to the boy Yuan Shang, he has to weigh it carefully."

I have to say that two of Yuan Shao's three sons are stupid. Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang only know that internal fighting consumes power, and Yuan Tan even turned to Cao Cao for help. The second son, Yuan Xi, didn't want to fight for a seat, but he was just a mediocre. Even if Yuan Shao could finally defeat Cao Cao in the battle of Guandu, he was afraid that the three sons would have civil strife in the future.

Although Gongsun Kang led the Liaodong iron cavalry, the three Korean soldiers greatly slowed down the speed of the Liaodong army, so it was not until the next day that they arrived at Tuyin City.

"Huh? Yuan Shao's reinforcements seem to have arrived?"

Gongsun Kang looked up, saw the Yuan and Yan banners on the top of the city, frowned.

"Yan Liang? Grand Prince, Yan Liang is a famous Hebei player, we have to be careful." Liu Yi reminded

"Hmph, what's Yan Liang's worth? Anyway, these three Korean soldiers don't need money, so they can fill it with their lives."

Gongsun Kang snorted coldly, looked up at the head of the city, and waved: "Prepare to attack the city!"

Yan Liang above the city also frowned when he saw the murdered Liaodong Army.
