Chapter 343 Zhang Liao kills two generals and drives out Goguryeo

Quan Jiannan and Jin Chunqiu were shocked when they heard that the Han army had entered Lelang and thought that the Han army had already captured Xiangping and destroyed the Gongsun family. They did not dare to lead their troops to attack the Pyongyang City, the capital of Lelang County, but they were reluctant to withdraw the four occupied Lelang County and county towns immediately and retreated to Dianfang County.

Quan Jiannan said to Jin Chunqiu: "Our Goguryeo army is a great army to help the Han Dynasty attack the Gongsun family, and has made contributions to the Han Dynasty. Even if the Han Dynasty does not want us to occupy the county town of Lelang County, it will return it to the Han Dynasty when the Han Dynasty asks. However, most of the life in the county of the county of the county of the Fang County is my Goguryeo, and the Han Dynasty should not have any objections."

Jin Chunqiu strongly agreed with Quan Jiannan's statement.

The two led the Goguryeo army to temporarily camp in Tunyou County, 70 miles away from Pyongyang City, waiting for the Han Dynasty to take action first.

In Pyongyang City, Zhang Liao heard about the location of Goguryeo's army, and he was furious and led 20,000 troops to kill him directly.

The Han army suddenly arrived, Quan Jiannan and Jin Chunqiu were shocked and wanted to set up a formation to confront each other, but was preparing to talk to Zhang Liao.

However, in Zhang Liao's eyes, the Goguryeo people were just humble and barbaric, not worth mentioning. Zhang Liao did not have the idea of ​​putting the Goguryeo people in the same position, and first talked with the Goguryeo people, and then politely.

After Zhang Liao arrived, he led his army directly to the Goguryeo army.

Quan Jiannan, Jin Chunqiu conquered the city and occupied the land, and had to keep the troops. At this time, there were only 10,000 soldiers, and Zhang Liao and 20,000 Han troops rushed directly. Not only were they inferior in strength, they were also caught off guard and could not withstand it. They were defeated in an instant, and more than 3,000 soldiers were lost, retreating to Lufang County.

After Zhang Liao recovered Tunyouxian, he led his army to chase and kill him to Lufang County.

Quan Jiannan and Jin Chunqiu were both shocked and angry, but they still did not dare to turn against the Han Dynasty directly, so they suppressed their anger and found an opportunity to talk to Zhang Liao. After some discussion, they sent an envoy to the Han army garrison to ask for a meeting with Zhang Liao.

When Zhang Liao heard that the Goguryeo people sent an envoy to come, he also wanted to know what the Goguryeo people said at this time, so he immediately ordered the envoy to be brought.

When the envoy saw Zhang Liao, he said after a visit, "General, our Goguryeo is also a minister of the Han Dynasty. He has always surrendered to the Han Dynasty and dared not be enemies with the Han Dynasty. This time he sent troops to help the Han Dynasty attack Gongsun Kang. Our Goguryeo army retreated from the remaining three counties in Lelang soon and retreated to the terrace. Please forgive me, let alone not misunderstand it."

This means that only the remaining three counties of Lelang County that were occupied were returned, but still possessed the Daofang County.

Zhang Liao immediately said angrily: "Dafang County is also a territory of the Han family. If you do not become enemies with the Han Dynasty, you will withdraw from Dafang and go back to you and others."

The envoy hurriedly said, "General, the area around Daofang County was originally owned by me, Goguryeo, and most of the living there were people from me, Goguryeo. They were seized by Gongsun Kang, and now they are taking advantage of the Han Dynasty to attack Gongsun Kang. I Goguryeo sent troops to help me, and at the same time recovered the original land. The Han Dynasty should not force me, Goguryeo."

Hearing this shameless remark, Zhang Liao cursed directly: "It is ridiculous that the area of ​​Daofang County was originally owned by the Wei Dynasty. In the past, Emperor Wu of Han destroyed the Wei Dynasty and established four counties. Now the area of ​​Daofang County is part of it. You, Goguryeo, was just a barbarian in Xuantu County. When did you have any connection with Daofang County? The land of the Han family cannot be affected by the outside world. I will restrict you from the three counties of Lelang today and withdraw from Daofang within three days!"

The envoy was shocked and angry, blurted out and said, "Is the general going to fight against each other?"

This was almost a threatening statement, but Zhang Liao ignored it and snorted: "No need to talk nonsense. Get back immediately with my words just now. If you say more, be careful that your head level is not guaranteed!"

The envoy was shocked, fearing that his head would not be protected and did not dare to say much, so he took Zhang Liao's words back to inform Quan Jiannan and Jin Chunqiu.

Quan Jiannan and Jin Chunqiu were also shocked and angry.

Jin Chunqiu said: "The great man is so domineering that he wants to occupy my Goguryeo Territory. If he evacuated this time, when will he be able to retake it in the future? The Goguryeo people I led were trampled by the Han people again, how could they be like this?"

Quan Jiannan also said: "The great man is unreasonable, we should fight to the death and save the leader."

In short, it is okay to let them withdraw from the remaining three counties of Lelang, but it is impossible to let them withdraw from the Daofang County. They also want to have the opportunity in the future, so they will go from Goguryeo and Daofang County to the north and south to the north. If they lose Daofang, Lelang will not have the opportunity to plan. How can Goguryeo expand and become stronger?

Originally, Goguryeo had been scoundrels to gain the current territory by scoundrels. In history, Goguryeo became a habit of surrendering and four rebellion. In their opinion, although the Han Dynasty was strong, Goguryeo was not afraid of fighting with the Han Dynasty. At worst, he would confess his guilt and surrender if he lost. I think the Han emperor would not have the idea of ​​destroying Goguryeo.

Besides, Goguryeo relies on Changbai Mountain, even if the Han Dynasty wants to destroy Goguryeo, it is impossible. At worst, it cannot be defended by Maru Capital and avoided fishing and hunting in Changbai Mountain. After the Han army leaves, it will come out to rebuild Maru Capital.

It is precisely because of this most serious situation that the country will not be completely destroyed. Therefore, Goguryeo has repeatedly surrendered and rebelled against the Han Dynasty for two hundred years, and once she has the chance, she will erode the Han territory.

Sometimes, during the 20th or 30 years of the Han Dynasty, Goguryeo looked for opportunities to eat only one county in the Han Dynasty, and every emperor of the Han Dynasty did not make a large-scale expedition to Goguryeo for a county. This was Goguryeo's rogue expansion.

Since they decided to fight Zhang Liao to the end, Quan Jiannan, Jin Chunqiu and others did not withdraw from the remaining three counties in Lelang, so they resisted in Lufang County. They thought that if they could defeat Zhang Liao by chance, they would have more bargaining chips. In order to defeat Zhang Liao, the two of them also pulled out as much as possible from the remaining remaining troops. Currently, they had more than 8,000 troops in Lufang County.

A day passed, and Zhang Liao learned that the Goguryeo people had not withdrawn from Lelang County, so he probably did not want to withdraw from Daofang County, so he was furious and led his troops to fight.

Zhang Liao personally went to the Goguryeo military camp to fight.

"Goguryeo barbarian thieves dare to come out to fight with me, Zhang Liao!"

In the camp, Jin Chunqiu faced Quan Jiannan Road: "If this Han general can be killed, the Han army will have no leader, and there will be a great chaos."

Quan Jiannan was moved that the Han army was strong and the chance of defeating the Han army was not high, but if he could kill the Han army and cause chaos in the Han army, the chance of winning would be much greater.

"So he went out to fight with the Han general Zhang Liao and killed his head!" Quan Jiannan said.

So the two ordered their troops out of the camp.

Jin Chunqiu rushed out with a horse holding axe and was fierce and aggressive: "Han generals should not be crazy, I will kill you!"

Zhang Liao waved his halberd to fight, and the two fought together.

After only six rounds of battle, Zhang Liao had already shown a trend of crushing Jin Chunqiu. Obviously, Zhang Liao's martial arts were much more powerful than Jin Chunqiu.

After all, Zhang Liao was one of the most powerful generals in the Central Plains. Although Jin Chunqiu was also a general of Goguryeo, Goguryeo had a population of less than 200,000, and only a middle-class county in the Central Plains. Even if the whole people had soldiers, they would have only 40,000 soldiers. In a century, a powerful general who could compete with Zhang Liao might not be able to produce a hundred years.

Population is the real factor that determines the birth of powerful generals. In history, why are there many powerful generals in the first Three Kingdoms eras, but later in the third Kingdoms eras, the fierce generals withered, and only a few powerful generals who are barely comparable to Xu Huang and Zhang Liao, Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, etc., who are unable to get any of them.

The real reason is that the powerful generals in the First Three Kingdoms period were all before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and the Han population was still born at the peak of 50 to 60 million. Later, during the Three Kingdoms period, the entire Central Plains population was only over 10 million, so the number of powerful generals born naturally was extremely limited.

Quan Jiannan shocked Zhang Liao's martial arts strength. Seeing that Jin Chunqiu was about to be defeated and killed, he hurriedly rushed out to help Jin Chunqiu.

"Hmph, even if you and two others besiege you, killing you will be like taking things out of your bag!" Zhang Liao sneered.

In fact, before Quan Jiannan arrived, when he was still thirty meters away from the area where Zhang Liao and Jin Chunqiu fought, Zhang Liao slashed Jin Chunqiu in the chest with a halberd and knocked Jin Chunqiu down.

Quan Jiannan, who rushed over, was shocked and hurriedly stopped his war horses and wanted to escape back to the camp.

Zhang Liao ran away from Quan Jiannan. After killing Jin Chunqiu, he rushed towards Quan Jiannan with a horse.

When Quan Jiannan pulled up his horse, it was less than twenty meters away from Zhang Liao. The horse stopped and turned his head again. Taking advantage of this time, Zhang Liao rushed to Quan Jiannan.

"The barbarian thief was given the title!" Zhang Liao shouted, his voice as if it were thunder.

Quan Jiannan was so scared that his hair stood up all over his body. Before he could resist, he was hit by Zhang Liao's neck with a halberd and his head rolled to the ground.

Both generals died, one was the Grand Marshal and the other was the Deputy Marshal. The Goguryeo Army suddenly had no leader and its morale collapsed. Before the Han army launched an attack, the Goguryeo soldiers turned around in panic and fled, and did not even guard the camp, but only fled towards the mountains or the head county.

"Kill!" Zhang Liao led his army to chase and kill more than 6,000 Goguryeo Army. In three days, he recovered all the three counties of Lelang and Fang County, and at the same time drove Goguryeo back to the north of the Yalu River.
