Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty

Chapter 692: Yan Liang retires

"Well!"

The Qingzhou soldier spit out a mouthful of blood, and looked down in disbelief. The spear pierced his chest. The blood from the wound stained the spear shaft and armor, and his strength was constantly lost as the blood flowed.

"kill!"

The sword-and-shield hand shouted, put away the shield, and cut it with a jump. The sword fell heavily on the Qingzhou soldier’s neck. With a chuckle, Dou Da's head fell directly on the ground, his eyes wide open, and his eyes widened. .

"well!"

Hao Zhao praised: "You are doing a good job. The army must cooperate with each other in the battle against the enemy. Otherwise, even if you use the courage of Xiang Wang, Meng Ben, and Xia Yu, it will be nothing more than a match."

Although the Liangzhou army was small in number, they cooperated with each other, and even some brave soldiers in Qingzhou soldiers turned to fight, but they were killed by the cooperating Liangzhou soldiers. As the brave soldiers died in battle, naturally no one would dare. Turned back.

"kill!"

The Liangzhou soldiers chased and killed them all the way, so that Cao Jun was so scared that he was so frightened that he had thrown away countless food and grass. Many people left the queue and fled in all directions.

But Cao Hong never dared to turn his head. He just ran away. He didn't know how long he ran. He only felt the pain on the inner sides of the two thighs, and then stopped.

Cao Hong looked around blankly, only to see that the Cao Jun surrounding him was probably less than two thousand people.

Only this few people are left with the nearly ten thousand army that I have brought?

Cao Hong bowed his head down and stared at the ring knife around his waist, staring motionless for a long time.

Kailang!

Cao Hong pulled out the ring head knife and placed it across his neck.

"Nearly ten thousand troops have suffered heavy losses. How can the general have the face to meet the lord?"

Cao Hong cried out mournfully, and then drew his sword to kill himself, but was hugged by the deputy.

"If General Zilian dies, where should I wait?"

The lieutenant persuaded him bitterly: "Victory and defeat is a common matter for soldiers. The general can gather the routs along the way and return to Pingyuan County to stand. The general kills himself. If he loses Pingyuan County, wouldn't the prime minister blame it?"

When yelling, the ring's first knife fell to the ground.

"Yes." Cao Hong sighed: "Well, go back to Pingyuan County first, gather the soldiers along the way, and talk about other things."

"The whole army retreat to Pingyuan County!"

After Cao Hong was defeated, he led the remnants to retreat in desperation, gathering the scattered Cao army along the way, and at the same time withdrawing the garrisons from the counties of Qinghe County, and all brought them back to Pingyuan County for defense.

In this way, Cao Hong's offensive was self-defeating. Not only did he fail to lead his army into Yecheng, but even several counties in Qinghe County, which had been annexed during the Battle of Liu Ye and Yuan Shao Ye City, fell, and the defense line was withdrawn to Pingyuan County.

And Xu Huangjun was a big win.

Below Yecheng, Liu Ye led the city gentry out of the city, carrying pigs, sheep, grains, rice and other things out of the city to reward the triumphant Liangzhou army.

"How about this seizure, General Gongming?"

Liu Ye clasped his hands and smiled to Xu Huang.

Xu Huang sat on the horse with a smile on his face, and told Hao Zhao on the side: "Bo Dao, kill and capture our army."

"Yes."

Hao Zhao clasped his fists and then said to Liu Ye: "Mr. Ziyang, our army killed and captured more than 6,000 enemy troops this time, and captured Cao Jun's grain and grass more than 3,000 stones, and several golden drum flags."

Liu Ye's eyes lit up: "The total number of Cao's army is no more than 10,000. There are more than 6,000 casualties and prisoners alone. Adding the escaped enemy forces, I am afraid that Cao Hong can pack up to two or three thousand men and horses. Our army can take advantage of the situation to recover Qinghe County. !"

Xu Huang nodded, agreeing: "This general is exactly what he meant. Then Cao Hong broke his arm and has already withdrawn the defenders in the counties of Qinghe County to Pingyuan County, and the general sent troops to occupy Qinghe County."

"Well, now the key is Yan Liang."

Liu Ye smiled and said: "Our army should spread the news on a large scale, so that Yan Liang will retreat in a difficult situation."

"Hahaha!"

Xu Huang laughed and said: "He had better retreat in the face of difficulties, otherwise my Liangzhou Army will be like a rainbow, and I will be able to defeat Youzhou Army in one go."

Liu Ye personally presided over and sent many memoirs to spread the news of Cao Hong's defeat to Youzhou.

Zhongshan Country, Puyin County.

Above the endless wilderness, a camp of Yuan Shaojun was stationed in place. There were countless flags fluttering in the camp. Among them were two large flags, one with the word "Yuan" written on it, and the other with a flag on it. It is written with the word "yan".

"What, Cao Hong is defeated?"

One of the members of the Chinese army's tent is wearing a black armor, and the general with a wolf waist and ape arms sits in a precarious position. It is Yan Liang who is known as the number one general under Yuan Shao's command.

Yan Liang showed an expression of disbelief and murmured to himself: "How could Cao Hong lose so quickly under the command of 10,000 horses?"

"Not necessarily true."

"Ok?"

Yan Liang heard the sound and looked at Feng Ji on the side, and hurriedly said, "It may not be true? What does military master mean?"

Feng Ji planned to acquire Jizhou for Yuan Shao back then. Although Yuan Shao has more and more counsellors under his command since Yuan Shao occupied Jizhou, Feng Ji is still Yuan Shao’s most respected person. Very respectful, and Yan Liang is no exception.

Feng Ji gently stroked his beard, and said slowly: "Liu Ye returned to Luoyang, leaving Xu Huang with only 20,000 soldiers and horses. Now our army and Cao Hongjun are attacking Jizhou with a horn. It won't come out all the time. It's not that simple to defeat Cao Hong."

"Maybe, this is the fake news that Xu Huang released in order to confuse our army's sight." Feng Ji analyzed: "I heard that before Liu Ye left, he left Huainan Liu Ziyang to assist Xu Huang. Maybe he has one article and one weapon. In order to confuse our army, Liu Ziyang bought time for Xu Huang, so he released false news and told me to wait to retreat?"

Yan Liang's eyes lit up: "So Xu Huang wants to stabilize our army first, and then fight with our army after defeating Cao Hongjun?"

Feng Ji nodded slightly: "It is possible."

"Then our army will speed up the march!"

Yan Liang resolutely said: "Since Xu Huang has sent troops and intends to fight Cao Hong quickly, the main force must have left Yecheng. Now that Yecheng is empty, it is a good time for me to wait for a quick southward journey!"

Feng Ji pondered for a while: "It's okay, but we still need to inquire about the news."

Yan Liang immediately decided to lead the Ten Thousand Youzhou Army to the south quickly, intending to break Yecheng while Xu Huang's main force was absent.

However, with the information coming, after the news of Cao Hong's defeat really came, the spies reported that Xu Huang had personally led the army to station in Yecheng and planned to lead the army north, so Yan Liang had to lead his army back north.

"It's a pity, I didn't expect that the news of Cao Jun's defeat turned out to be true." Feng Ji sighed.

Yuan Shaojun was defeated by Liu Ye's army, and he didn't expect that even a small Xu Huang would be able to use his troops like this. Suddenly Fengji only felt that his future was dim.
