The main force of Jizhou retreated.
This was an indisputable fact.
Qingyuan had been breached, and the Tianxing Army and the Xiaosheng Army were approaching Ye City. They had to go back and rescue them.
Gongsun Jing had achieved his goal.
Guan Cheng, Zhao Yun and Gao Lan surrounded the halberd soldiers in Zhongshan.
Near Lunu, on the bank of the Tang River.
The four armies engaged in an unprecedented battle.
Halberd Warrior.
He was the number one soldier in the infantry army.
They bared their fangs in this war and displayed their most ferocious scene.
Unfortunately, they were still outnumbered.
Seven thousand cavalry and ten thousand crossbow-wielding Divine Arms Battalion soldiers were not existences that halberd warriors could defeat.
After the battle, the halberd warriors were utterly defeated, and even their general Zhang He was captured alive by Gao Lan.
Early April.
In a camp in Hanchang, Zhongshan Prefecture.
Guan Cheng stepped into the commander's tent with a smile on his face.
"What good news?"
Gao Lan asked in surprise.
Guan Cheng handed over the battle report and laughed,"Yuan Shao's main force has begun to retreat to the vicinity of the reprimand. The young general wants us to lead the army to Julu as soon as possible!”
"Good!"
Zhao Yun's tender face was filled with joy.
"Yi!"
Gao Lan looked to the side.
" No!" Zhang He shook his head and said in a deep voice," If you want to kill me or cut me up, do as you please!"”
"Yuan Shao has already lost!"
"Young General is about to take over Jizhou. You should know how Yan Liang, Qu Yi, and the others died!”
"If you surrender, I will bring you to denounce you. If you don't surrender, then don't blame me for not remembering our friendship as comrades. The Young General had already written it clearly in his declaration of war. When the declaration of war arrives, those who serve the Yuan Family will be killed!”
Gao Lan placed the battle report in front of Zhang He and spoke earnestly.
"We lost just like that?"
Zhang He looked at the battle report, still finding it hard to believe that Yuan Shao, who had dominated Jizhou, had been defeated just like that.
Gao Lan sighed and said," Yuan Shao is destined to lose. He used his son as the commander during the war, which has already sowed the seeds of his defeat. If Yan Liang and Wen Chou were stationed in Xin Capital alone, the young general would not have won so easily!”
"Cough cough!"
"General Gao, we'll send a reprimand tomorrow!" Zhao Yun coughed dryly and said.”
"Good!"
Gao Lan nodded thoughtfully.
Zhang He had Zhang He's pride. Even if he wanted to surrender, it was difficult for him to do so.
The next day.
More than 20,000 troops marched from Zhongshan.
Mid-April.
On the way back to Ye City, Yuan Shao's army was stopped by Yan Gang and Zhang Yan.
Helplessly, the army could only retreat into the city and regroup, hoping to rest for a while before breaking through the blockade.
Half a month later.
At the beginning of May, a shocking piece of news came from Guanzhong.
Outside the city.
In the camp of the Qingzhou Army.
All the civil and military officials of Qingzhou were gathered together.
Even Xun You, Cheng Yu, Tian Kai, and Lu Yu had rushed over from Qingzhou.
What's the situation in Chang 'an?"
Gongsun Jing asked as he hurriedly stepped into the commander's tent in a brocade robe.
Xun You stood up and said," Young General, there is a document from Chang 'an stating that Dong Zhuo was killed by Wang Yun and Lu Bu at the palace gates. Niu Fu, Guo Si, and Li Jue are leading 300,000 troops to surround the city. The Emperor is inviting all the vassals to come to his aid!”
"It shouldn't be!"
Guo Jia rubbed his chin and asked in confusion,"Dong Zhuo is dead, and so is Li Ru. Shouldn't Guo Si, Li Jue, and the others submit to the Imperial Court? If they still besieged the city, wouldn't they be courting death?”
"Ha!"
"Haha!"
Gongsun Jing suddenly burst into laughter.
Cheng Yu stroked his beard and smiled faintly."" Young General, you can see that Wang Yun is a powerful official. Although the Emperor is now out of Dong Zhuo's control, the power of Chang 'an is in Wang Yun's hands. He doesn't want to call Dong Zhuo's old subordinates to surrender at all. That's why today has come!"”
"Hiss!"
Xun You gasped.
Guo Jia couldn't help but say," If the imperial court can recruit 300,000 soldiers from the Western Liang Army, the vassals of the world will stop fighting. The Han Dynasty will be stable for at least a hundred years. Wang Yun isn't trying to help the Han Dynasty. He's trying to push the Han Dynasty into the abyss!"”
"Are we going?"
Yan Gang frowned.
"Courting death?"
"300,000 Western Liang soldiers. Even if Niu Fu and Guo Si are fools, they can easily defeat us!”
" Ma Teng of Western Liang, Cao Cao of Yanzhou, and Yuan Shu of Yuzhou. None of them went to relieve the siege of Chang 'an. What can we do if we go? Don't just look at the benefits in front of you!”
Gongsun Jing frowned and warned coldly.
Yan Gang scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.”
"Young General is right!"
"Yuan Shu has already been forced back. Cao Cao will definitely turn around and recover the cities that Tao Qian took!”
"Sun Ce has already conquered more than half of Yangzhou, but he didn't listen to Yuan Shu's orders.”
"We have to take complete control of Jizhou before June. Only then will we have a chance to deal with the upcoming war. Therefore, I suggest that we send an army to surround Zhuzhang and Ye City, and then start the entire regime of Jizhou!”
Xun You calculated for a while and bowed.
"Surround without fighting?"
Gongsun Jing frowned.
Xun You nodded and said," The spring planting has already begun. The million Black Mountain Army is a disaster in Changshan. We must quickly divide them into the major prefectures and counties of Jizhou to control them. As long as we appease the prefectures and cities, we will be able to besiege Ye City for several months without attacking it!”
"This plan works!"
Cheng Yu nodded.
Guo Jia's eyes turned." Young General, we have five armies under us now. We have 60,000 main troops. We can indeed do that!"”
"From today onwards, the core of the military and government will move here!”
"Yan Gang, Gao Lan led his army to surround Ye City and forced the defenders of Ye City to surrender!”
"Zilong, Guan Hai, and Zhang Yan will lead 30,000 troops to surround the reprimanding Zhang. Then, they will send people to assist Gongda and the others in dispersing the Black Mountain Army, establishing the Jizhou regime, tabulating the household registration of the people, planning the fertile farmland and residential areas, and so on!”Gongsun Jing ordered without hesitation.
"Here!"
Everyone bowed.
