Three Kingdoms King of the North

"Since Tian Chou has escaped, let him escape." Han Zhan waited for Zhao Yun to finish speaking, and said disapprovingly: "Even if he escapes back to Youzhou, I think Gongsun Zan will not bypass him. We should hurry to Linzi Join Gongda and Hansheng's troops."

In fact, Han Zhan urged Zhao Yun to rush to Linzi as soon as possible. What he was worried about was the [-] Yellow Turban Army commanded by Guan Hai. Although their combat effectiveness was not very good, but after all, there were so many people. Let Huang Zhong and the others be in a hurry.As long as the army led by him reaches Linzi, all possible insecurity factors will disappear.

The army walked on the road for another day before arriving outside the city of Linzi.

According to Han Zhan's thinking, since the Jizhou army has captured the city, all the soldiers and horses outside the city should enter the city.Unexpectedly, he saw a huge camp in the west of the city. He hurriedly called a messenger, pointed to it and asked, "Come and tell me, which army is stationed there now?"

"Reply to my lord," the messenger quickly replied respectfully: "After our army captured Linzi, the Xun army division originally planned to transfer all the soldiers and horses into the city, but Guan Xiaowei said that if the [-] yellow scarves enter the city rashly, they may be killed." It will harm the people, so I insist on staying in the camp outside the city."

What the messenger said surprised Han Zhan. In his mind, Guan Hai had always been a brave and foolhardy person. He didn't expect to be so thoughtful about this matter. He was mistaken.He turned to Zhao Yun and said, "I really didn't expect Guan Hai to be such a generalist."

Zhao Yun was also surprised by Guan Hai's actions, and he even thought in his heart: If he was newly attached and commanded an army of [-], would he obey the orders of Huang Zhong and Xun You, who had only [-] under them?

Han Zhan reined in his horse and said to Zhao Yun, "Brother, bring your troops and horses into Linzi, and I'll go to Guan Hai's camp to have a look."

"Second brother can't." Hearing that Han Zhan was planning to go to Guan Hai's camp, Zhao Yun hurriedly stopped him: "As a Jizhou shepherd, how can you easily get involved in danger? In my brother's opinion, if you want to see Guan Hai, you can take it He was summoned to the city."

"Although Guan Hai has not been attached to Guan Hai for a long time, my younger brother has already seen that he is not a capricious villain." Han Zhan knew that Zhao Yun stopped him from going to Guan Hai's camp because he was worried about his own safety, so he comforted him and said: " Brother, don’t worry, my younger brother will bring Shuzhi, Rob and the previous Tiger and Leopard Riders, even if something unexpected happens, these Tiger and Leopard Riders will be enough to protect the younger brother and break out of the encirclement.”

Zhao Yun knew Han Zhan's character very well, and knew that once he decided to do something, no one would be able to persuade him, so he could only nod helplessly and said, "Second brother, the brother will send out scouts outside the camp. If Guan Hai is right If you are unfavorable, you will immediately order people to break out of the siege, and my brother will lead troops to rescue."

After Han Zhan waited for Zhao Yun to leave, he took Chen Dao, Luo Bu and a thousand tiger and leopard riders and headed towards Guan Hai's camp.On the way, Rob asked worriedly: "My lord, there are 8 people in Captain Guan's battalion, and we only have 1000 people. If he wants to attack us, we don't have enough people for them to bite their teeth."

"Don't worry," Han Zhan said confidently about Rob's worries, "Don't worry about Guan Hai's army having 8 people, but he will definitely not do anything bad to me."

Not only was Rob uneasy, but even Chen Dao was equally uneasy: "My lord, although Guan Hai has already surrendered to us, there are hardly any of the [-] yellow scarf thieves under him who have ulterior motives. If they secretly treat the lord It is impossible to guard against it. Why don't we follow General Zhao into Linzi City."

Zhao Yun went up to the group of messengers, asked them a few words, and then rode back to report to Han Zhan, "Second brother, you really guessed it. It really is the messenger from Linzi. They are the military advisor Xun You." Send out, come to want you to win."

"Reporting victory?" Han Zhan couldn't help raising his eyebrows when he heard this word, and then asked tentatively, "Could it be that Linzi has already been captured by our army?"

"That's right, that's true." Zhao Yun nodded and said, "The troops led by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei rushed to Linzi yesterday, and after a brief meeting with Huang Hansheng and Xun Gongda, they led their troops to attack the city! The two of them personally took aim at Shishi, and led their troops to attack the city from the south and north of the city. After two hours of fierce fighting, they broke into the city one after another."

Han Zhan knew very well in his heart that although Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were attacking the city with their own hands, the danger they encountered during the siege was definitely much less than that of ordinary soldiers.In the area where they are located, the number of crossbowmen must be several times higher than other areas, so as to suppress the defenders at the top of the city and ensure that they will not be hit by rolling logs or stones or injured by flowing arrows during the process of ascending the city.

But these details are not important, the important thing is to win Linzi, and the next battle will be easy to fight.If Tian Chou can be captured alive, maybe the land of Qingzhou can be passed down.Han Zhan quickly asked, "I wonder if Tian Chou was captured?"

"No!" Zhao Yun shook his head and said, "According to the officials of the State Shepherd's Mansion, Tian Chou disguised himself and left the mansion when the city was broken. somewhere else."

"Since Tian Chou has escaped, let him escape." Han Zhan waited for Zhao Yun to finish speaking, and said disapprovingly: "Even if he escapes back to Youzhou, I think Gongsun Zan will not bypass him. We should hurry to Linzi Join Gongda and Hansheng's troops."

Chapter 428 Danyang Soldiers

Han Zhan stayed in Guan Hai's barracks for more than an hour before leading his tiger and leopard riders out of the camp and heading towards Linzi City.

Zhao Yun was worried that Han Zhan was in danger, so he arranged a lot of scouting horses near the camp.When those scouts saw Han Zhan leading his army out of the camp, they immediately sent someone to report to Zhao Yun, lest he worry in the city.

When Han Zhan led the tiger and leopard riders to the outside of the city, he saw that Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Xun You and others had already led their troops and horses waiting there.When they saw Han Zhan appearing, they said in unison: "The last general will see the lord!"

"Excuse me!" Han Zhan got off his horse, walked up to Xun You, and asked with a smile, "Gongda, are you okay?"

"Thank you, my lord, for your concern." Although Xun You was Han Zhan's relative, in front of many subordinates, he still met Han Zhan with the courtesy of a subordinate: "Everything is well, subordinate!"

When everyone returned to the State Shepherd's Mansion, Xun You had already arranged a banquet to clean up Han Zhan.Xun You originally wanted to say a lot to Han Zhan, but because there were too many people at the banquet, especially the presence of two outsiders, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, he swallowed everything he wanted to say and only talked about innocuous things. matter.

Finally, when the banquet was over and everyone left one after another, when only Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Chen Dao and others were left in the conference hall, Han Zhan asked Xun You, "Gongda, I saw that you have been preoccupied all night. Is there something hidden in your heart? You might as well say it out, and see if Ben Hou can solve your problems for you."

"My lord!" Xun You, who had just sat down, heard Han Zhan asking himself, and quickly got up and replied, "According to my lord's plan, after our army has pacified Qingzhou, we will move west after a short rest to conquer Bingzhou. After merging the two states, we will choose an opportunity to seize Youzhou."

"That's right, that's what Ben Hou planned." After Han Zhan gave Xun You an affirmative answer, he asked back, "Gongda, is there something wrong?"

"If our army hadn't surrendered the 40 yellow turban bandits, maybe my lord's original plan was the best." Xun You said unhurriedly: "But now we suddenly have 40 more people, even if we can fight There are only 4% of the soldiers, which is [-] people. The subordinates believe that under the current situation, the strategy formulated at the beginning can be adjusted."

Xun You's words aroused Han Zhan's interest. He looked at Xun You and asked with great interest, "I don't know what Gongda thinks, so you might as well say it. It just so happens that Zilong and Han Sheng, the two main and deputy generals who led the Eastern Expedition, are here. They also listen together."

Xun You took out a map, unfolded it, and said to Han Zhan: "My lord, please look at the map. After our army captures Qingzhou, we can send troops from Dongwu City in Chengyang County to attack Dongguan County and Langya County in Xuzhou to the west." After taking these two counties, you can continue to attack Liu Dai's Yanzhou in the west. In this way, the original Jizhou and Qingzhou of the lord can be connected together."

Han Zhan stared at the map in front of him, thinking quickly about Xun You's suggestion.If after occupying Qingzhou, he seizes two counties from Xuzhou, and then goes west to capture Liu Dai's Yanzhou, in this way, his Jizhou and Qingzhou can be connected into a complete piece, and only need to be in some important cities By deploying heavy troops, you can prevent the princes from attacking you.

Seeing Han Zhan staring at the map in a daze, Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong also got up and walked over, staring at the map in front of Han Zhan.But neither of them spoke, but waited patiently for Han Zhan to make a decision.

Han Zhan knew that Xuzhou Mu Taoqian had an elite army composed of Danyang soldiers. If he rashly led his troops to attack Xuzhou, this army would definitely cause him a lot of trouble.So he frowned and said: "You should still remember that the famous general Li Ling fought against the Xiongnu's 400 fine cavalry with [-] Danyang soldiers. He fought to the death without backup, and only [-] people remained in the end. The Xiongnu, who are famous for being tough and good at fighting, if they didn't know that Li Ling had no backup, I am afraid that the [-] army would be defeated by the [-] Danyang soldiers.
