Chapter 3593 Yàn Yuan roams Li Chen(1/2)
Chapter 3592 Yan Yuan roams Li Chen
March of the tenth year of Taixing in the Han Dynasty.
In the northern part of Jizhou, there have been always rushing north to explore the situation in Youzhou.
However, for Jizhou, there are not many light cavalry remaining at this stage, and some must be reserved for future preparations, so the scouts and contingents who can be scattered are naturally pitiful.
But they have to explore, and for Jizhou, these sentry probes are also very important and cannot be easily consumed. Otherwise, once they really encounter the Cavalry Army, they will not only lose their vision of the battlefield immediately, but may also be directly interspersed and divided by the Hussar cavalry. Therefore, these sentry probes must not only detect the news, but also protect themselves, and also shoulder the needs of sudden combat. Therefore, they have to take out the high-ranking officials who have been covered with for a long time and throw them onto the chessboard.
When Wen Chou was defeated, he fled with the Yuan family's son, while the high-ranking officials stayed to cut off the rear. However, it was obvious that the high-ranking officials were not the opponent of the generals of the Xiahou family of Cao, so the high-ranking officials finally surrendered.
Although the high-ranking official was Yuan Shao's nephew, the high-ranking official was also a native of Chenliu, so after surrendering, he was idle for a long time. Under the current situation, the high-ranking official suddenly became "trust" again, and he regained a certain amount of military power, of course, just one thing. For example, these scouts and contingents nowadays.
However, for the high-ranking officials, he felt that it would be better to not have these military powers...
Now, the latest military information has been heard before the Jizhou North Line was reached.
Cao Chun suffered a great defeat in Fangcheng, and the entire army was gone. The soldiers fled, the supplies and equipment were all gone, and even Cao Chun himself was trapped and died!
When the news came, friends, including the senior officials, were shocked.
In the eyes of Gao Gan and others, although Cao Chun was defeated before, he still had some strength to fight. Even if he was a little weaker, he was at least still a cavalry!
If you really can't beat it, can you run? Moreover, Wei Yan is not mainly cavalry, so why was he defeated like this?
The outpost headquarters such as the senior officials immediately broke out in fierce debate about how to act later.
Some military academies said that they should go back to Yecheng, Jizhou. After all, it is safe to have heavy troops there to defend. Others think that even if they go back, they may not be safe. Some people say that even if Cao Chun is defeated, there will inevitably be some remnants and cannot retreat like this.
And the most important thing is that they don’t know anything, but they know that Cao Chun was defeated. As for how many people came, how many infantry occupied, and how many cavalrymen were, they don’t know at all!
After thinking about it, the senior official decided to take people forward and investigate.
Whether you can fight or not, attitude is the most important thing.
After all, this is the survival rule of Shandong. It’s not a big deal to do well or not. If you don’t have a good attitude, it’s a problem.
...
...
The sky was gloomy, and the blue and black clouds in the sky condensed into a ball, and they were so entangled like the heart of a high-ranking official.
From Jizhou to the north, the Yanshan Mountains are like a natural wall, separating the Central Plains and the desert.
After leaving the courtyard wall, it is the desert. When entering this wall, it is the warm Central Plains.
Some people think that this mountain and this wall can withstand the damage of foreign enemies for a lifetime, while others know that this is actually a delusion. The one who can block the invasion of foreign enemies will never be a city wall, but a soldier holding swords and guns.
The more you go north, the more depressed you become.
The previous strategy of strengthening the walls and clearing the country was implemented to some extent.
Next to the road, you can also see some broken walls and abandoned fields that have been uninhabited.
Since the Zhongping period, fierce battles in recent years have caused this once prosperous Youyan Land to be either flattened by war or plundered, including the Hu people and Han people. The people in this area either died or escaped, and the territory occupied by humans was soon swallowed up by nature.
Wild grass, moss.
Wild dog, crow.
More than a hundred light cavalry gathered into a team that was quite large for the siege detectives, and was slowly advancing northward.
Every time I go, I check it carefully until I make sure there is no danger or find any abnormal situations, and then I will continue to move forward.
In this way, the speed of traveling is naturally not much faster.
The high-ranking officials and others set out from dawn, and at noon, when the sun began to deviate, they didn't walk much, but everyone felt that the speed was just right, after all, safety was the first priority...
But moving slowly like this will make people feel a little depressed.
Just as everyone was gradually becoming a little irritated, suddenly there was a mixed smoke and dust rising up in front of them. All the soldiers immediately became nervous from the high-ranking officials to the soldiers. Someone ran to the high place on the side and shouted as he looked at them, "Yes... are the defeated soldiers! The defeated soldiers from the north!"
...
...
The Cao army in the brigade was defeated, abandoned his armor, and his clothes were broken, and he retreated.
These Cao army soldiers had no system at all, and they just subconsciously gathered together to keep warm. Not many people still had armor and guns in their hands. The armor on their bodies might be disgusted with the burden and discarded them on the way to escape.
Some people still carry wounds, blood and mud mixed together, and their hair is just about knowing how to bury their heads and run away.
In the distance of these defeated soldiers, only about a dozen cavalrymen were yelling to drive them to chase them.
These light cavalry that were chasing Cao's defeated soldiers were also stained with blood and dust, and they screamed. They were like driving pigs and sheep behind them, catching up with Cao's defeated soldiers who ran the slowest, and immediately bent over and swung a knife.
The screams of the defeated Cao's defeated soldiers who were hit will stimulate the other Cao's defeated soldiers to tremble and speed up again.
The Cao army, who could not run, collapsed with his feet, and the light cavalry who were chasing him from behind would trample on horseback. Even if he did not die on the spot due to the sound of bone cracks, he would not live long in such a wilderness area.
Almost everyone of these Cao army defeated soldiers just knows how to rush to run wildly. No matter who falls down, as long as it is not themselves, it will be fine, as long as it can outperform the people around you.
The number of Cao's army defeated soldiers was at least seven or eight hundred, and the vast crowds of roads were blocked, while the light cavalry behind them were only ten or twenty...
"Yes, it's the Hussar Cavalry!"
Someone around the high-ranking officials shouted in panic.
It seems that the word "Cabin" brings endless fear, which makes the soldiers behind the high lord panic, and even the war horses are restless.
The high-ranking official looked up, looked carefully for a moment, and suddenly cursed, "That maid! I saw it carefully! Those are Wuhuan cavalry! They are Wuhuan cavalry! They are not Hussar cavalry!"
"Ah?!" The scouts of Cao's army following the high-ranking officials were stunned, "Wuhuan? Wuhuan cavalry?"
The high-ranking officials didn't know what it felt like, and all kinds of emotions were rolling in their hearts. If they were really Hussar cavalry armed to their teeth, that would be fine. Now it is obvious that they were just some Wuhuan light cavalry, which could chase the Cao army soldiers like cattle and sheep!
I remember that even when it was not Cao's army or Yuan's army, I had never had any direct eyes on these Wuhuan cavalry!
Going forward, even when Gongsun ruled Youzhou, the dead Hu people were good Hu people. When was it the turn of these Wuhuan people to come here to show off their power?!
The high-ranking gandered his chest so much that his breath was blocked. He took off the spear next to the saddle and roared angrily, "Kill these Wuhuan bastards! Take the brothers back!"
The senior officials urged the war horses to face the defeated Cao troops.
The other Jizhou scouts who were beside the high-ranking officials looked around, especially when they saw that the high-ranking officials had already rushed up, they became more courageous and shouted, following the high-ranking officials to rush north!
These fleeing Cao army soldiers finally saw this light cavalry team under the banner of Cao army. Someone reacted, slowed down his running speed, made way out, and watched Gao Gan and others pass by.
Suddenly, some defeated Cao army soldiers started crying, "It's over, it's over! Cao army is over... We are over..."
...
...
『Cao Jun is really finished, it’s really finished...hahaha...』
The same news has always been that some people are happy and some are sad.
Compared with the worries of high-ranking officials and others, Ju Hu and Zhen Xiang heard this news and almost used their hands to add their foreheads and sang and dance.
Ju Hu showed Zhen Xiang the paper with four words "Dragon Battle in the Wild" written down, "Brother Zhen, how about my word?"
"The horizontal and vertical force are as powerful as a golden hook!" Zhen Xiang did not hesitate to praise him, "It is obvious that he has made great progress!"
"Hahaha, I feel it occasionally, and the writing will naturally appear..." Ju Hu put down the paper in his hand, turned to look out the window, "Brother Zhen, you said we... this beautiful spring scenery, why not hold a literary meeting?"
『Wenhui?』 Zhen Xiang frowned slightly, 『Now?』
Ju Hu smiled and said, "This is the time and the time."
For some time before, Juhu and Zhen Xiang were both cautious, hiding in the shadows, and not showing up easily.
But now, after the news of Cao Chun's defeat and death was passed to Jizhou, they began to shake again like "prophets", and even openly went in and out of some towns, and the officials and defenders in the towns turned a blind eye.
This kind of separation between the court and the countryside is not only found in Jizhou.
"This is the right time! When Guan Zhong fired a hook, Qi Huan was not guilty!" Ju Hu suddenly sang and sang, and the jade pendant on his waist tinkled as he moved. His fingers streaked through the four words "Dragon Battle in the Field" written just now, and the corner of his mouth was raised high, "If the cavalry wanted to follow King Wen, we should lead the boat for Xibo!"
Zhen Su took a breath. He thought Ju Hu was brave enough before, but he still underestimated Ju Hu's courage. But just like Ju Hu said, if the cavalry really accomplished a great thing, then the person who was willing to "lead the boat" for him would probably be like a crucian carp crossing the river. If he didn't grab a seat first, how could he ride on the cavalry boat and jump over the dragon gate in one fell swoop?
The reason why Ju Hu and Zhen Xiang are so close now is just because both of their families have similar experiences. They have been glorious, but now the glory is no longer in the trough. The previous glory has been firmly imprinted in their hearts and has become the goal they pursue.
"However, what should Xing and Shu clans do?" Zhen Xiang asked.
Some of the gentry in Jizhou were willing to join the Cavalry to create new glory, and of course some also felt that the Cavalry system was not reliable. For example, the Xing and Shu clans are representatives.
In comparison, the Xing and Shu tribes were both local tribes that have been preserved since the early Eastern Han Dynasty. They are famous and have status, and usually seem a little transcendent. Just like when Han Fu or Yuan Shao was in control of Jizhou, they all respected these long-standing tribes. Even if these tribes did not participate in government affairs and did not join Han Yuan's account, local officials still had their prosperity.
Ju Hu dragged over a new piece of paper and rewrited the four words "Dragon Fighting in the Wild" and then signaled to Zhen Xiang to show it. "Now the mysterious yellow is floating on the top... and invited them with these four words, thinking that it was the topic of the literary meeting, how about it?"
Zhen Xiang looked at the four characters and looked at the last stroke standing like a knife, and then laughed, "It's great. But where should I do it?"
Ju Hu smiled and said, "The Yuan family's former home."
...
...
Just after the Si hour, Geng Chen's ox cart crushed the weeds and flowers on the path in front of Yuan's old house and came slowly.
The Yuan family’s former home was almost abandoned after Yuan Shao’s death.
In fact, Cao Cao did not express his intention to do anything about Yuan's family, nor did he say he would kill Yuan's family. However, after all, there are too many smart people in the world who think about the best. So after Yuan Shao's death, the prince of Yuan died in an accident. Then the remaining members of the Yuan family either fled or changed their names and lived in seclusion, and naturally no one would clean up the Yuan family's former house.
