Rebirth Wei Yan

But it was said that last year when Gongsun Zan attacked Yuan Shao, his offensive was fierce and shocked Hebei. For a time, the counties and counties in Jizhou surrendered. Yuan Shao was shocked. In order to please Gongsun Zan and ease the situation, he promoted Gongsun Zan's younger brother Gongsun Fan to be the prefect of Bohai.

, but as soon as Gongsun Fan arrived in Bohai, he immediately switched sides.

Moreover, Gongsun Zan also defeated the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou in November last year. Gongsun Zan captured more than 70,000 Yellow Turbans and countless chariots and property. In recognition of his merit, the imperial court worshiped Gongsun Zan as General Fenwu and granted him the title of Marquis of Ji.

Now Gongsun Zan and his younger brother Gongsun Fan are preparing to attack Yuan Shao in Jizhou just after the New Year!

In the spring of the third year of Chuping (192), Yuan Shao personally led troops to fight against Gongsun Zan. The two armies clashed twenty miles south of the border bridge. Gongsun Zan arranged 30,000 infantry in a square formation, with more than 5,000 cavalry on each wing.

Yuan Shao ordered Qu Yi to lead eight hundred elite troops as the vanguard, with thousands of strong crossbows as cover, and he commanded tens of thousands of infantry behind.

At this time, Gongsun Zan saw that Yuan Shao's troops were few, so he ordered the cavalry to charge and trample the enemy's formation. However, Qu Yi's soldiers calmly fell down under their shields. When the enemy's cavalry rushed to a place only a few dozen steps away, they jumped up together and chopped down.

At the same time, thousands of strong crossbows fired at Bai Ma Yicong. Gongsun Zan's army suffered an unexpected blow, and the whole army fell into chaos. The cavalry and infantry were all scrambling to escape. Qu Yi's army became more and more courageous as they fought.

, he beheaded Yan Gang, the governor of Jizhou appointed by Gongsun Zan, before the battle, killed more than a thousand enemies, and took advantage of the victory to pursue him to the boundary bridge. Gongsun Zan tried to hold the boundary bridge, but was defeated again. Qu Yi pursued Gongsun Zan all the way to his camp.

When Yuan Shao ordered his troops to pursue the enemy, he advanced slowly, carrying only dozens of crossbows and more than a hundred halberd-wielding guards. When he was more than ten miles away from the boundary bridge, he heard that the front had won, so he dismounted and unsaddled

, took a short rest. At this time, more than 2,000 fleeing cavalry from Gongsun Zan's tribe suddenly appeared and surrounded Yuan Shao heavily, with arrows raining down.

Tian Feng pulled Yuan Shao and asked him to retreat into a low wall. Yuan Shao slammed his helmet on the ground and said, "A man would rather rush forward and die in battle. How can he survive by hiding behind a wall?"

He commanded the powerful crossbowmen to fight and killed many of Gongsun Zan's cavalry. However, Gongsun Zan's troops did not recognize Yuan Shao and gradually retreated. After a while, Qu Yi led troops to meet Yuan Shao, and Gongsun Zan's cavalry withdrew.

Not long after this, the leader of the Black Mountain Army, Zhang Yan, sent his general Du Chang and others to help Gongsun Zan, but he was also defeated by Yuan Shao. From then on, the Black Mountain Army and the Yuan family began to have a grudge.

The Battle of Jieqiao is a classic example of infantry and crossbowmen defeating cavalry. It is also a model of defeating more with less and defeating the strong with the weak. Yuan Shaofang's evaluation of this battle was "At that time, the troops were vigorous and the horses were electric."

"The master and the apprentice work together, the machinery is not strict, the strong and the weak are different, the numbers are different, the help of the gods is false, a small battle is a big defeat, then the mausoleum runs on its back, and the pavilion and the valley are built."

After this battle, Yuan Shao gained a foothold, which also consolidated his rule in Jizhou. It also changed the military situation north of the Yellow River where Gongsun was strong and Yuan Shao was weak. It broke Yuan Shao's passive situation of being besieged on all sides. The two sides began to form a balance of power, and Yuan Shao became the king.

In the key battle of Hebei, he curbed Gongsun Zan's ambition to go south and put him on the defensive in front of Yuan Shao, forcing him to develop power within Youzhou.[

Especially not long after, the frustrated Gongsun Zan defeated and killed his boss Liu Yu in a fit of anger, and took control of Youzhou alone. This behavior aroused public outrage, and Gongsun Zan lost more and more people's hearts. However, Yuan Shao consolidated his power in Jizhou because of this battle, and soon

He relied on Liu He to appease Liu Yu's old officials who were dissatisfied with Gongsun Zan, and created chaos within Gongsun Zan. Afterwards, Yuan Shao firmly occupied the land of Jizhou, expanded to all directions, and finally defeated Gongsun Zan and other Hebei princes. Baima Yicong's entire army was annihilated, and his strength was greatly weakened.

After being thwarted, Gongsun Zan's ambition was greatly reduced. Soon after, he built the Yijing Tower in order to defend the Youzhou Tomb. Of course, this is something I won't mention for the time being!

When the Guanzhong area and the Central Plains area were raging with war, the entire Jingzhou was calm! Although Yuan Shu fought in the Central Plains area, there were victories and defeats, but the losses of the war were too great. However, Yuan Shu had to win in order to win.

Further increasing the efforts to collect grain, the Nanyang County area controlled by Yuan Shu was in mourning for this! Of course, many people saw that it was difficult to continue their lives, so they fled to the other two warlords in Jingzhou - Jingzhou Governor

In the territory of Liu Biao and Zuo General Wei Yan! However, Wei Yan did not refuse the refugees. However, Wei Yan did not provide them with food for free, but implemented a work-for-relief method! Xun You came to organize it.

These people plow unused fields, build water conservancy facilities, etc.!

"Lord, we don't have much food now!" When Wei Yan was training with the soldiers at the military camp outside Fuyang City, Xun Yu, who was in charge of Wei Yan's logistics and food supplies, came to the military camp and said to Wei Yan!

"Wen Ruo, how long can our food supply last?!" Wei Yan was stunned after hearing this, and then asked!

"We can still hold on for half a month. If we reduce the relief to the refugees, we can only hold on for less than a month!" Although Wei Yan captured the city last year and gained a lot of money and food! But he couldn't hold back the people.

So much! Although Fuyang County and other three counties originally occupied by Wei Yan had a bumper harvest of grain last year, self-sufficiency is no longer a problem, and Wei Yan still harvested part of it! Even the food in the homes of the people in the ten newly occupied counties can be maintained.

To the summer food harvest!

But the problem lies with those people who fled to Wei Yan's territory! Although some people have already cultivated grain last autumn, there are still more than two months until the summer grain harvest!

"Lord, this problem is easy to solve! At worst, I will disguise myself as a remnant of the Yellow Turban Army and go to other places to rob again!" Huang Zhong next to him said quickly after hearing Wei Yan's words!

"Just don't bother Uncle Huang and Brother Dian this time! After all, you two are already famous generals. If you do such a thing again and let others know about it, it will be difficult to talk about it! Xingba, Shuzhi, Wenyuan, listen

Order!" After Wei Yan heard Huang Zhong's words, he looked at Dian Wei who was about to move next to him, and said to the two of them!

"The general is here!" Gan Ning, Chen Dao, and Zhang Liao said quickly after hearing Wei Yan's order!

"Xingba, you have the easiest task this time. You are leading five hundred troops to borrow some food from our old friend Huang Zu, the governor of Jiangxia! Uncle Zhi, you are leading two thousand soldiers to Liu Biao's Nanjun to pretend to be

Yuan Shu's troops went to rob! However, this time they were only allowed to rob mid-level nobles and those with bad behavior. Those big families and famous families should not be touched for the time being! And Wen Yuan was disguised as a remnant of the Yellow Turban Army and led two thousand troops to the west.

I want to take a trip to Nanyang County, but I want to rob the noble families and the noble families with bad behavior, especially the noble families who own a lot of land! Of course, if those Yuan Shu's troops can be wiped out, they will be wiped out! But don't go too far!" Wei Yan looked at the front of him.

The three people just gave the order!

Needless to say, the reason why Wei Yan ordered such an order was that Huang Zu had already been frightened by Wei Yan. Chen Dao led his troops to Nanjun to pretend to be Yuan Shu's troops to rob the middle-class nobles and those with bad behavior. This would ruin Yuan Shu's reputation in Jingzhou.

, The reason why he did not attack famous families like the Cai family, Kuai family, etc. was because these big families had their own background. Wei Yan was afraid that he would not be able to steal the chicken and would instead get the rice on credit! And Zhang Liao was attacking Yuan Shu in Nanyang.

The foundation of the county is also to snatch food and grass, laying a solid foundation for Wei Yan's next preparation!

"Yes, lord!" After Wei Yan gave the order to the three of them, he told the three of them his intentions. Gan Ning, Chen Dao, and Zhang Liao said quickly!

"Wei Xiang, Huang Xu, Dianman! Listen to the order!" After Wei Yan finished speaking to the three of them, he looked at Wei Xiang and other young generals standing at the end of the team and said!

"The general is here!" The three of them said excitedly after hearing Wei Yan's words!

"Wei Xiang follows General Chen Dao to conquer Nan County, Huang Xu follows General Zhang Liao to conquer Nanyang County, and Dian Man follows General Gan Ning to attack Jiangxia County!" Wei Yan looked at his friends and ordered! [

Wei Yan sent three people to the expedition not only to train them, but also to monitor Gan Ning, Chen Dao, and Zhang Liao, especially Wei Xiang who followed Chen Dao to conquer Nanjun! After all, Chen Dao also came from a noble family.

, although he has been loyal since he surrendered to Wei Yan, but everything is done in advance or not in advance. This is the method that the superior has to use against his subordinates. However, on the other hand, such openness and aboveboardness makes the three of them wary.

He also told the three of them that as long as they sit upright and walk upright, Wei Yan will know!

"Brother, no, my lord, I also want to go out with General Gan and the others!" After Wei Xiang, Huang Xu, and Dianman received the orders, Wei Tong, who was standing at the end, said to Wei Yan!

"Wenda, you are still young! You can lead the army again in two years!" Wei Yan looked at his brother Wei Tong, who was two years younger than him, and said!

"Lord, I am already sixteen years old, and I have a little experience in swords, guns, sticks, and literary and military strategies. I think I am enough to serve your lord!" After Wei Tong heard Wei Yan's words, he was not convinced.

said!

"Really?! So your martial arts skills are already very high. How about the two of us go out and compete!" Wei Yan said after hearing Wei Tong's words!

"This, my lord, you are already a first-class military general, how can I be your opponent?!" Wei Tong said after hearing Wei Yan's words! It turns out that Wei Yan has not given up practicing martial arts in the past two years, and as he gets older,

With the growth, Wei Yan's martial arts also improved from Ming Jin to Dark Jin, and he became a first-class military general in one fell swoop. Although compared to top military generals such as Huang Zhong and Dian Wei, Wei Yan is not their opponent, but Wei Yan's martial arts has become as good as Zhang Liao and Gan

Ning is almost the same, and even higher than Chen Dao! For Wei Tong, Wei Yan's martial arts is indeed much higher than him!

"Then, among the three of you, Wei Xiang, Huang Xu, and Dianman, you can pick one of them at will. Whoever you defeat will be the one who can replace him in the battle!" Wei Yan said again after hearing Wei Tong's words!
