Chapter 235 Taiyuan Yijing
After Yuan Shao's death, the war in Jizhou was completely calm. Without this heroic overlord as the backbone, although there were many aristocratic families in Jizhou, there was no chance of blocking the Taiping Army. With Xiao Lan's order, all those who resisted were met. The most severe punishment!
It has always been the main policy of the Taiping Army to fight the local tyrants and divide the land. For this, the gentry and wealthy families are naturally at the end of the day, but for the poorest people at the bottom, it seems to usher in a new life.

Xiao Lan unreservedly spread the news of the complete defeat of Yuan Shao and the capture of Jizhou to the world. For him, such military information does not matter to be kept secret, and it cannot be kept a secret. Instead of hiding it, it is better to actively publicize it. Ruling the world has an unspeakable effect.

The news spread all over the world, and the people who have joined the Taiping Army are naturally elated, but for those who still miss the Han Dynasty, this is really a near-destructive blow!

Yuan Shaohe and others, after the Fourth Generation and the Three Dukes, were the leaders of the eighteen noble alliances. They once led an army to defeat Dong Zhuo, forcing him to leave Chang'an. After unifying Jizhou, they even had hundreds of thousands of troops. They can be said to be great men. The largest force in the dynasty, but even so, it was strongly defeated by the Taiping Army. In the blink of an eye, out of the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, only Bingzhou and a small half of Youzhou were left, and the Taiping Army's territory was everywhere.

The general trend is gone, the general trend is gone!

The elders of the Han Dynasty who could understand the current situation couldn't help but sigh. Yuan Shao was defeated, Gongsun Zan was not strong, and the only hope was Cao Cao in Bingzhou.If he could withstand the invasion of the Taiping Army, perhaps there was still some hope for the Han Dynasty.

The news that the Taiping Army captured Jizhou was flying all over the sky, and it was inevitable that it would spread to Bingzhou.

Bingzhou, Taiyuan, Han Xian Emperor Liu Xie moved from Chang'an. At this time, Cao Cao was still somewhat loyal to the emperor, so he respectfully invited the emperor into the palace, surrounded by hundreds of official residences. After all, Liu Xie was just a ten-year-old man. The young boy, who was many years old, had gone through several wars and been bullied. Now he could live a stable life with the help of Cao Cao. He was very satisfied.

However, there are many people who do not know good and evil in this world. Not long after the emperor moved into the Taiyuan Palace, the cavalry general Dong Cheng wrote a letter saying that Cao Cao was disrespectful to the emperor. It turned out that Dong Cheng had a daughter who followed the emperor and was named a nobleman by the emperor. Now Dong Cheng As the head of the state, Chengke felt dissatisfied when he saw that Cao Cao was treating him like an official, so he wrote a letter to participate in the performance.

But Taiwei Yang Biao, Huang Fusong and others are all looking at the nose and the nose, and they are clear in their hearts. Bingzhou is now Cao Cao's territory. They have 30 heavy troops on hand, even if they are not treacherous officials like Dong Zhuo. , I am afraid that I will not serve the emperor wholeheartedly.

Looking at the battle report in his hand, Cao Cao was a little distracted. He shook his head and handed the battle report to Cheng Yu beside him. He smiled bitterly and said: "Although I had expected that Xiao Lan of the Taiping Army would not be his opponent at first, I didn't expect that he would be defeated so quickly. He is defeated. With his defeat, Youzhou Gongsun Zan may not be able to hold on for long."

"Ai" couldn't help but sighed, Cheng Yu looked at the battle report in his hand, shook his head and smiled wryly: "It's a pity that there is not enough time!"

"Why do you say that?" Cao Cao looked at Cheng Yu in confusion, his face full of doubts.

"There is not much time left for us." Cheng Yu said in a deep voice: "The Taiping Army started from Qingzhou, and within a short period of time, it even conquered Xuzhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Yizhou, Sizhou, and Guanzhong. , Liangzhou, now below Jizhou, Youzhou is about to be annexed. By that time, if the Taiping Army and others have already occupied nine-tenths of the world, with such a strong foundation, they can easily expand an army of one million, and we are subject to Due to the limited terrain of Bingzhou, even supplying the current 30 troops is very difficult, so the only time we have left is before the Taiping Army can firmly rule the territory. And this time is destined not to be too long, so I will say, leave it to us Time is running out."

Cao Cao frowned and said: "It will take some time to incorporate the Xiliang Army. Huang Zhong's army is eyeing the front line of Chang'an. Even if we want to send troops to help Gongsun Zan, it may be too late. For the present plan, we can only send people to Youzhou to persuade him Gongsun Zan led his troops to retreat to Bingzhou."

"My lord, this plan is very clever!" Cheng Yu said with a smile, "Although Gongsun Zan has suffered repeated defeats, he still has tens of thousands of elite cavalry under his command, and his strength cannot be underestimated. If we can get him to come to Bingzhou to meet us The alliance can greatly increase our strength, which can be a big help when fighting against the Taiping thieves."

Beside, Chen Lin sighed, "But, don't forget that our time is limited. If Gongsun Zan hadn't delayed the Taiping bandits in Youzhou, I'm afraid we would have faced the Taiping army sooner!"

"This..." Hearing this, Cao Cao couldn't help hesitating for a while. In the end, he still couldn't help sighing, and said in a deep voice: "Forget it, our top priority is to organize and train the 30 troops under his command as soon as possible, and strengthen the army. Combat strength, in order to meet the army of peace bandits."

The implication is to give up on rescuing Gongsun Zan. After all, although Gongsun Zan's tens of thousands of troops are a large force, they are ultimately external forces. Moreover, after the defeat against the Taiping Army, morale has already dropped. It is better to concentrate on gathering one's own strength instead of gathering external forces.

Just when Cao Cao was preparing his army for war, with the passage of time, the war in Youzhou gradually came to an end. On the way back when Gongsun Zan led the troops back to the army, he encountered Chen Dao, Xu Chu and others leading troops to ambush the Taiping Army. Ambush, the loss of troops will be very serious.

Since Chen Dao, Xu Chu, Tai Shici, and Zhou Tai had the upper hand, they naturally pursued and fought fiercely. Gongsun Zan made a wrong step and every step was wrong. He was beaten back by Chen Dao and others, and was soon lost. Most of Youzhou, by the time Xiao Lan completely defeated Jizhou, Gongsun Zan had already retreated to Yi Jing, leaving only [-] to [-] defeated soldiers under his command.

Chen Dao and others besieged Yi Jing, but after repeated battles, their troops were also depleted, leaving only 3 horses. Lan had already conquered Jizhou, and Zhang Liao and Xu Sheng led [-] troops to support him.

Gongsun Zan was defeated one after another, and the morale of the defenders in the city was declining. Naturally, some people couldn't help but feel dissatisfied. Krinkled Dan was one of them. After he proposed to surrender again and was scolded by Gongsun Zan, he returned to his residence, Even if he secretly gathered some generals close to him.

"Gongsun Zan doesn't listen to good words, and he is about to perish. Are you willing to follow him to perish?" In the mansion, Wrinkled Dan looked at the generals with a cold face, and said in a deep voice: "I miss you, Wrinkled Dan, who has been following him all along." He, Gongsun Zan, is fighting in all directions, and now it’s just a proposal, if he doesn’t accept it, it’s fine, but he still insults me, it’s really unbearable for me.”

"What does the wrinkled general mean?" A general looked at wrinkled Dan, and when he spoke, he lowered his voice very low.

"Now the strength of the weak is very obvious. Yuan Shao's hundreds of thousands of troops in Jizhou have been defeated. Now we only have one city of Yijing left with only thirty or forty thousand soldiers. How can we deal with the Taiping Army's attack?!" Wrinkle Dan said in a deep voice. He said: "Rather than follow Gongsun Zan and die together, how about we take action together, capture Gongsun Zan, open the city and surrender, so as to gain the means to enter the country?"

"Wrinkle Dan, the lord treats you fairly every day. Now that the lord is in danger, it's fine if you don't want to repay the lord. You actually want to murder the lord. Today, someone beheaded you, a villain at both ends of the snake!" , A young general shouted sharply in his mouth, and drew his sword angrily.

"So, General Liu is going to be my enemy?" Wrinkle Dan looked at the young general with a gloomy face, and there was a glint of coldness between his words.

"So what? How can someone like Liu, with an unfaithful and unrighteous person like you..."

Before General Liu could finish speaking, a cold sword light suddenly flashed from the side and chopped off General Liu's head. The sword-wielding general looked at the crowd indifferently and said, "General Wrinkle is right. Gongsun Zan is stubborn and will be destroyed soon." But I don't want to be buried with him, what do you generals think?"
