Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 736 The Mansion Newsletter One Step Ahead

  In Jizhou at this time, Gongsun Zan not only performed well in the military, but also gained the upper hand in politics.

   "Yuan Shao, the fourth generation and the third prince, have a false name, and they only want to be charming, and they can't be straight..."

   "When the king is in trouble, he turns a blind eye, flees without permission, and is disloyal to the country..."

   "Since he is the leader of the alliance, he should attack Dong Zhuo without telling his father and brother. The Tai Tuo's whole family will be killed together. It is really unkind and unfilial..."

   "The name is Xingbing, but in fact it is a colony, and the examination fee is collected, and the people do not complain about the country's calamity..."

   "Forcibly stealing Jizhou, pretending to engrave gold and jade, thinking that the seal, every time there is a seal, the text is called an imperial edict, which is actually a fake order..."

   And so on, all kinds of Yuan Shao's crimes were listed, and the most important thing about these crimes was that they were well-founded. As a result, the Jizhou gentry who originally supported Yuan Shao one-sidedly began to murmur.

  But although Gongsun Zan sent out a letter to challenge Yuan, he scolded very well, but he did not fail to control the scope and included some people and things in it, so that outsiders would not know whether Gongsun Zan did it on purpose.

  For example, if Yuan Shao has no brothers and no father, and is unkind and unfilial, then it is equivalent to dragging Yuan Shu into the water...

  For another example, Yuan Shao pretended to carve gold and jade and forged the emperor's order, so wouldn't it reflect that Liu Yu almost became the false emperor Yuan Shao enshrined before?

  But these things are not Gongsun Zan's headaches now, it is Jizhou Mu Yuan Shao Yuan Benchu ​​who is suffering from headaches...

To be honest, Yuan Shao never thought that the current situation would become the current situation. In fact, he always thought in his heart that it was just like Liu Xiu had the support of Hebei Haoqiang back then. Returning, and then looking around, how could there be so many shabby things!

  But Yuan Shao also had to calm down and face the reality—he didn't have enough cavalry to fight against the white horse Yicong who was criss-crossing Youzhou.

  Many people think that Baima Yicong is a ranger, with light armor, riding and shooting, fast speed, killing enemies in circles...

  In fact, this kind of cognition is wrong. Youzhou cavalry once had a name - "Sudden Cavalry"!

  When the Han Dynasty was handed over, Liu Xiu recruited a large number of Wuhuan people and Youzhou Han people at that time to form Youzhou Tuqi. This brigade followed the founding emperor Liu Xiu of the Eastern Han Dynasty to sweep up the heroes and rule the world.

   Later, because the Eastern Han Dynasty continued to mobilize Youzhou Tuqi elite to supplement the Central Army, the Han people were no longer the main force of this cavalry in the middle and late Eastern Han Dynasty. The Wuhuan and Xianbei people who were recruited became an important supplement to this army.

By the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the heavy armored cavalry of the Xiliang cavalry who fought against the Xiliang cavalry had basically matured their frontal assault tactics. With bows and arrows, it also has long-range strike capabilities.

If it is divided according to the level of armor and equipment, Xiliang iron cavalry is pure heavy cavalry, while Bingzhou wolf cavalry is armored ranger, and Youzhou Tuqi is between Xiliang iron cavalry and Bingzhou wolf cavalry. A wave can also be attacked from a distance with bows and arrows, so Gongsun Zan relied on Youzhou Tuqi to defeat powerful enemies repeatedly and temporarily dominated the north.

The Wuhuan people in Tuqili, Youzhou were not under the control of the Eastern Han government in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. They rebelled many times and attacked and plundered the Han land many times. However, Gongsun Zan’s boss, Liu Yu, the shepherd of Youzhou, advocated the policy of Huairou, and maintained a kind and broad heart. However, Gongsun Zan believed that the Wuhuan people were arrogant and difficult to control, and insisted on encircling and suppressing them by force. He always believed that all Hu people who dared to plunder the Han territory should all die. Only dead Hu people are good Hu people. There are many Han people who have been poisoned by the barbarians in the border counties. Among them, there are 3,000 elites, known as "White Horse Yi Cong", who are brave and good at fighting, and are well-known far and wide.

  Even the people of Wuhuan know that they should "avoid the white horse" in battle, and they dare not touch the edge easily.

   Now that such a sharp and powerful weapon is in front of Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao naturally feels great pressure.

  Refund is absolutely impossible.

  Yuan Shao knew in his heart that once he took half a step back, he would be lost forever. The Jizhou gentry who had gained a wave of goodwill might not immediately turn around and hug Gongsun Zan's thigh, but they would also knock Yuan Shao into the dust and then step on it a few times...

   not to mention today

  But, if you want to fight, how should you fight?

Relying on a large number of people is definitely not enough. There are more than 30,000 people in the Yellow Turbans of Qingzhou who went north. .

Therefore, at present, Gongsun Zan's cavalry are cruising around, exerting pressure and attack on some counties in the northern part of Jizhou, but Yuan Shao can only crouch in a group at the boundary bridge, not daring to move, lest Gongsun Zan catch the gap between the marches, that is the end of the road. disaster…

But shrinking back is not the way to go, let alone seeing the morale of the soldiers drop day by day, and the replenishment of the soldiers' rations alone is becoming more and more difficult every day. If this continues, maybe without Gongsun Zan's attack, Yuan Shao's own position will be messed up up.

   "Duke Ming! Overjoyed, overjoyed!" Tian Feng came from the outside with a smile, and when he saw Yuan Shao, he bowed his head and smiled happily.

   "Yuan Hao, why do you like it?" Yuan Shao really needed some exciting news, so he asked hastily.

   "Ming Gong, please read..." Tian Feng took out a copy of the residence newspaper from his sleeve and handed it to Yuan Shao.

  Yuan Shao took it over and took a look, read it briefly, raised his head involuntarily, frowned and said, "Niu Fu has been conferred?!" What good news is this, Tian Feng, are you confused...

   Once Niu Fu dies, it means that the Xiliang Army is basically leaderless, so wouldn't Wang Yun be able to sit firmly in Chang'an City? How could such a situation be what Yuan Shao wanted to see?

  Tian Feng said "Yes", of course he also understood Yuan Shao's meaning, so he said: "Minggong, this newspaper can solve the urgent need..."

Yuan Shao took a closer look at it suspiciously, and saw that the mansion newspaper read: "...the rebel army invaded Hedong in the north, and plundered the countryside...the hidden army led the southern aid, and the auxiliary Chen army was under the city of Anyi. The auxiliary ordered Hu Qi to conflict, and secretly formed The formation of chariots should be resisted by brave soldiers with large shields, and the support cannot be broken. There are few light submarine soldiers in the rear, and iron cavalry are sent to charge the formation, lurking in the formation with strong crossbows. If you can't resist, you will be defeated for a hundred miles..."

   "This..." The more Yuan Shao looked at it, the more pleasantly surprised he was, and he pointed to the mansion and said, "...I'm really happy! With this method, you can definitely break Gongsun Baima!"

   After a pause, Yuan Shao said hesitantly: "...However, Di Baoming made the world public, fearing that the grandson will also know..."

  Tian Fenggong cupped his hands, and said meaningfully: "Duke Ming, relax, this was delivered on a fast horse, and the report from the imperial court has not yet arrived in Hanoi..."

  Yuan Shao rolled his eyes, then gritted his teeth and said, "So... come here, beat the drums! Gather generals!"

   Yuan Shao was indeed pinched and beaten by Gongsun Zan in the early days...

   Many people are also observing that Yuan Shu sent Sun Jian to attack Dong Zhuo and defeated Dong Zhuo's army...

   And although Yuan Shao holds the title of leader, he has never had any commendable achievements...

   Until Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan competed for the supremacy of the north...
