Chapter 97

Zhang Yan's subordinates knew that Zhang Yan said this to appease them so that they would not have to worry about being cleansed by the Youzhou army when they came to Youzhou! They knew that following the King of Jin would definitely have a bright future! After hearing this, these people hurriedly said, "We are willing to follow the leader and assist His Highness King of Jin! Saving the people and the people are in dire straits!" Zhang Yan smiled with satisfaction, knowing that his subordinates all understood what they meant, so he immediately sent an order to burn mountains and destroy the village, packed up all the supplies, removed the banner of the Black Mountain Army, and set off the banner of Youzhou. At the same time, Zhang Yan also sent secret letters to his subordinates and the forces he sponsored to tell them that the world was in chaos. They wanted to occupy their own land to be kings. They thought they would advance in the future.

Although the Heishan Army claimed to have an army of 300,000, it was actually only more than 200,000! Zhang Yan knew that this was his first battle to truly join Youzhou, which was related to his future. Don’t be careless, and dare not hold on to many soldiers and horses, but be arrogant and domineering! You must be cautious and correct your attitude! So he followed Guo Jia’s instructions and contacted Huang Zhong and Gao Shun in Bingzhou! He entrusted his 80,000 cavalry to Huang Zhong and let him cut off the retreat of the Xianbei army! Then he led 150,000 infantry to Youzhou and prepare to rescue You.

Zhou! Zhang Yan is also a shrewd person. He knew that although he had been secretly joining Youzhou for a long time, he had never appeared in Youzhou. He had no connections in the Youzhou system. If he wanted to have a good development in the future, he had to establish a good relationship with the generals of the Youzhou army! Now Youzhou mainly conducts defense and initial counterattacks. After the cavalry goes, it does not have much effect. Leave it to Huang Zhong, not only can he establish a relationship with Huang Zhong, but also can express his attitude and show that he has no ambitions, and at the same time can establish greater contributions! Multiple results will be achieved in one fell swoop!

Huang Zhong also received a letter from Guo Jia, so he was not surprised by Zhang Yan's actions. Instead, he naturally accepted Zhang Yan's 80,000 cavalry. He was worried about his few soldiers now! Now that Zhang Yan divided his troops, how could he refuse? Huang Zhong was not worried that these people would not obey the command. All the troops in Youzhou could only have one leader, that is, their lord Liu Bin! Since these people were secretly troops of the lord, they should also understand this truth! With these troops, Huang Zhong's determination to complete the task was even greater! After taking over the 80,000 cavalry, he made a simple adjustment and set off from Bingzhou and headed straight to Pegasus City! He had to relieve the danger of Pegasus City first, and then let the killing go!

Zhang Yan led the remaining infantry into Youzhou, defeating the small rebels' troops along the way, and began to compress the rebels' living space bit by bit! Now the rebels are still focusing on Jizhou City, with nearly 200,000 troops besieging Jizhou City. Jizhou City is the center of Youzhou's politics, economy and military. As long as you can break through Jizhou City, capture all the officials of Youzhou, and Liu Bin's relatives, it is equivalent to occupying the entire Youzhou and obtaining a large amount of spoils. The rebels will naturally not let them go! Although Zhang Yan wanted to go over to support quickly, he could not ignore other places, so he had to take step-by-step approaches and approach Jizhou City bit by bit!

On the other side, Liu Bin led Zhao Yun and Dian Wei, leading 20,000 guards all the way to Youzhou. When he passed by Jizhou, Liu Yu, the governor of Jizhou, warmly invited Liu Bin. When Liu Yu heard Liu Bin telling the story of attacking Dong Zhuo and why Liu Bin returned to Youzhou, Liu Yu sighed and said to Liu Bin: "Brother. This time the princes gathered together to attack Dong Zhuo. Although Yu's brother was not good at soldiers and horses on weekdays, he could not be used for military and horses. However, Han Fu, the prefect of Wei County under his jurisdiction, and Yuan Shao, the prefect of Bohai, both represented the representatives of the prefect of the Emperor's princes.

Brother Yu went to war. Brother Yu even provided them with a lot of food and grass. Unfortunately, at a critical moment, Gongsun Du and Gongsun Zan, under the rule of his brother, did not care about the emperor's kindness. He even did this great debauchery and even eradicated the great affairs of Dong Zhuo, and failed. It was really a misfortune of the court. However, Brother Yu was relieved. Although Brother Yu lacked troops to support you, Brother Yu's Jizhou has introduced his brother Youzhou in the past few years, but he has also made a lot of money and food. Brother Yu must do his best to support his brother's money and food, help him to eliminate the rebels and revive our Han Dynasty."

After hearing this, Liu Bin thought to himself: This relationship is good! He was still asking Liu Yu for food and grass, so this guy spoke directly! That saved himself a lot of talk! Liu Yu is really a good old man! What a pity! It's a chaotic world now, and good old man won't have any good endings! In view of Liu Yu being good to him, I will try to help him as much as possible in the future! Although I thought so in my heart, Liu Bin still wanted to thank Liu Yu on the surface and said, "Brother, my ones."

The subordinates would then escort the people of Luoyang to take refuge in Youzhou. The people who moved to Youzhou were hoping that their elder brother would help them when they were passing Jizhou and give these homeless people some food to make a living." Although Liu Bin's army brought a lot of food and grass this time, when pursuing Dong Zhuo, they intercepted a lot of food and grass robbed by the Xiliang army. But that was not enough for millions of people to eat for a long time! There was a lot of food in Jizhou, so he was like asking Liu Yu to help!

Liu Yu agreed immediately, "Of course. Don't worry, brother. The second brother of brother is the second brother of brother. The brother is the compassion of heaven and earth. He takes in these homeless people. How can I not make any effort? Brother Yu dare not boast about anything else. Brother Yu dares not boast about the food in Jizhou. I am afraid that the food in Jizhou is still above Brother Yu's. The food problem is all covered by Brother Yu." This is not Liu Yu's boast, because Jizhou is originally a large grain-producing state, with much fertile land than Youzhou, and the amount of land is much higher than that in Youzhou, so the output is naturally higher! Liu Yu's subordinates do not have many troops, so the consumption is naturally lower! Youzhou has more than 100,000 troops and hundreds of thousands of war horses, so the consumption is naturally greater! In addition, Youzhou has a developed economy and the secondary processing of grain has also wasted a lot of food, so the food in Youzhou is really not as much as in Jizhou!

After Liu Bin took a short rest in Jizhou, he led his army to set off! After Liu Bin and his men entered the boundary of Youzhou, he found that the southern part of Youzhou had been liberated and the rebels were basically eliminated! Liu Bin asked the local officials and knew that Zhang Yan had arrived in Youzhou a few days ago. The rebels had been eliminated by the Heishan Army. Now the Heishan Army is heading towards Jizhou City! Liu Bin nodded and was very satisfied. Zhang Yan seemed to have some ability and did not disappoint his hope for him! Liu Bin already knew about Zhang Yan's voluntary division of troops. Liu Bin said nothing about this, but Zhang Yan did this, Liu Bin's evaluation of him in his heart also improved a lot. He knew the general and knew advance and retreat. He could still entrust him with important responsibilities in the future!

Liu Bin continued to rush to Jizhou City! Now that all departments have been in place, it is time to start counterattacking. These rebels have been in trouble in Youzhou for a long time! It is time for them to pay back the debt! Originally, Liu Bin expected that a decisive battle would start under Jizhou City and defeat the main force of the rebels in one fell swoop! But who knew that when Liu Bin rushed to Jizhou City without stopping, he found that the rebels had retreated! There was no rebel under Jizhou City! Liu Bin was a little confused and quickly entered Jizhou City, came to the prefecture of the prefecture, recruited ministers from Youzhou to ask about the specific situation!

Knowing that Liu Bin was back, the ministers of various departments quickly put down their affairs and rushed to the prefecture and the palace servant's office to meet! After some inquiries, Liu Bin understood what was going on! It turned out that when Gongsun Zan colluded with foreign enemies to enter Youzhou, the intelligence organization of Youzhou had already received the news. As a distinguished leader of Youzhou, Xun Yu was naturally in charge of all the affairs of Youzhou when Liu Bin, the governor of Youzhou, was away. With the help of ministers such as Guan Ning and Gu Yong, Youzhou armed more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians in just a few days to defend Youzhou! In addition to the original army of Youzhou, the armed personnel of Youzhou suddenly reached 200,000!

After issuing the government order to Jianqingmian, all the people gathered in the city and defended against the city wall! The main force of the rebels coveted the wealth of Jizhou City, so they attacked Jizhou City with all their might, and other places were divided into troops to attack! In this way, all the pressure was concentrated in Jizhou City! Although the rebels were large in number and the attack was very fierce, Jizhou City was tall and steep, and there were enough defensive personnel. In addition, the defense equipment was advanced, so they repelled the enemy's attacks again and again! Although the city wall was almost broken several times, Xun Yugen

According to Liu Bin's experience in building Pegasus City, water poured into ice on the city wall, strengthening the city wall, so it has not been broken! However, both sides suffered heavy losses! After the rebels failed to attack the city, they originally planned to wait until other places were broken and gathered more troops to attack the city, but later they found that other places not only did not break through the city, but were seriously injured! They attacked Jizhou City even more crazily! They were also worried that Liu Bin would quickly train after receiving the news! After all, someone had already broken through and informed Liu Bin!

But not long after, they had to divide their troops again! Because they didn't have much food and grass! They didn't bring much food and grass this time, but after more than ten days of war, some of it had consumed! They could have continued transportation from the rear, but at this time they received the news that the Navy in Youzhou began to take action. At the beginning, their food and grass were not transported at all!
