No attack!
This is Lin Han's order.
Gongsun Zan led the main force to leave Guangchang and head south to attack Yuan Shao, but Lin Han chose not to attack.
He had been confronting Gongsun Zan for a long time because he wanted Gongsun Zan to go south to deal with Yuan Shao. Now that he was going south, Lin Han would not choose to use his own strength to weaken Gongsun Zan.
Instead, he allowed Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao to attack each other, and it was his turn to reap the benefits.
Within ten days, spies reported back that Gongsun Zan's troops had defeated 30,000 men under Yuan Shao's command, Han Meng, in Xinshi, and that Han Meng had escaped.
Gongsun Zan personally led his troops into battle and reversed the disadvantages of Changshan and Zhongshan.
Yuan Shao was shocked and sent troops to support.
Even when the battle between the two sides was in full swing, Yuan Shao and his advisers did not understand why the King of Great Xia did not choose to attack Yuyang and Zhuo County in Youzhou at this time.
Military information from the front was constantly transmitted back to Lin Han.
Lin Han was quite surprised to see Yuan Shao's defeat.
Logically speaking, Yuan Shao's troops should have been stronger than Gongsun Zan's, but they were defeated in the battle. It can only be said that Yuan Shao was cautious and held back.
The territories that had been conquered over several months were all returned to Gongsun Zan in less than a month, and even some towns in Hejian State fell into Gongsun Zan's hands.
Gongsun Zan's personal expedition brought about a significant increase in morale and combat effectiveness.
Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan fought fiercely in Jizhou, both for the fields for the autumn harvest.
Liaodong, Xi'an Ping.
Gongsun Du stood on the top of the city wall, looking at Liu Yu's army approaching the city, and his anger was about to burst.
Liu Yu invited a wolf into the house without realizing it, and was defeated in the battle of Youzhou. It seemed that Liu Yu was in control, but in fact, the battlefield situation was controlled by the troops of Daxia.
During the long battle, the Daxia troops never confronted his main force head-on. They either chose to attack the side cities or confront them on the spot.
Liu Yu fought against him foolishly from beginning to end, thinking that every defeat was his own credit.
Little did he know that every time he retreated, it was only because he was worried that his retreat would be blocked by the hundreds of thousands of troops of Daxia.
Stupid Liu Yu is still dreaming.
A 200,000-man army, a force capable of destroying a nation, could have captured Youzhou even if the Great Xia commander had invaded. Yet Liu Yu foolishly brought them in openly.
He was scolding Liu Yu until he was at a loss for words.
Suddenly, the war drums sounded, Liu Yu was about to attack the city, and Gongsun Du's expression changed drastically.
After Gongsun Zan's troops in the Yuyang area were tied down by the King of Daxia, Liu Yu mobilized all his elite soldiers and generals to fight him.
After suffering successive defeats, the morale of his men plummeted to the bottom. As one side gained strength while the other gained, Liu Yu also had the advantage of Daxia's siege machinery.
His retreat route had been cut off by the Great Xia army, and Xi'an had become an isolated city. He had no way to retreat.
"Liu Yu, history will record your sins, and you will be punished."
Gongsun Du was on the top of the city wall, roaring in anger.
He was defeated, not by the pedantic Confucian scholar Liu Yu, but by the King of Daxia. He had never met the King of Daxia before, but he was manipulated by him.
…
Xi'anping was captured by Liu Yu.
Gongsun Du led his troops to break out of the encirclement at Pingzhong, Xi'an, and on the way to Fanhan City, they were intercepted by light cavalry sent by Xu Huang. Gongsun Du committed suicide, and the rest of his troops surrendered to Xu Huang.
When the news of the Liaodong war spread, it did not cause any ripples in Han territory.
As if everyone expected it.
Lin Han didn't feel sorry for the King of Liaodong.
According to the normal course of history, he should have died of illness, but now the history in "Dynasty" has changed beyond recognition, and no one can guarantee what anyone's fate will be.
Gongsun Du is dead, Lin Han sends a message to Zhang He.
Except for the thousands of troops left behind, an army of 100,000 marched out of Juyongguan, attacked Ji County in Guangyang, and then entered Yuyang City and Zhuo County.
The conquest of the three counties was smoother than ever before.
Except for the two important towns of Gu'an and Fanyang in the south of Zhuo County, which were heavily guarded by Gongsun Zan to prevent the Youzhou troops from moving south, not many troops were left in other towns.
Gongsun Zan knew that Youzhou was hopeless, and there were very few soldiers and horses left, and almost no food and grass. Lin Han did not take action before in order to let Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao concentrate on the attack.
Now the battle between the two sides has reached a fever pitch. Gongsun Zan is mentally prepared to lose Youzhou. It is natural for Gongsun Du to be defeated and for Lin Han to take over Yuyang, Guangyang and Zhuojun.
The momentum of Daxia's invasion of Youzhou is already established.
When Lin Han was thinking about how to deal with Liu Yu, a secret letter came from Yangzhou.
"My lord, Lord Jia from Yangzhou has sent a secret letter, asking you to open it in person." The Jinyiwei handed over the wrinkled secret letter, panting.
An extremely urgent secret letter, addressed to the lord personally, from Jia Xu.
When taking the secret letter, Lin Han did not dare to be negligent.
In Yangzhou City, only Jia Xu and Cao Zhengchun knew his whereabouts. The fact that they were able to send an urgent secret letter when he was away must be a matter of great importance, something that none of them could decide.
In the letter, Jia Xu wrote eight characters by himself: Come back quickly, it’s a matter of great importance.
A huge matter.
He instructed Yu Du to have Zhang He and Xu Huang coordinate the affairs of Youzhou. If they couldn't decide, they should wait until he returned to make a decision. After that, Lin Han used the teleportation jade pendant to leave Youzhou and return to Yangzhou.
The fact that Jia Xu personally wrote a letter asking him to return quickly was no small matter.
When entering Yangzhou, Lin Han rushed to the conference hall without stopping and summoned Jia Xu and others.
In the meeting hall, Xun Yu, Jia Xu, Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia, Bai Qi, Li Jing, Yue Fei, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Gan Ning and others all took their seats.
All those in Yangzhou were recalled by Jia Xu through letters, including Tian Feng who was far away in Jiaozhou.
They were all in Hanjiang City, waiting for Lin Han to return.
After taking their seats, everyone looked serious, because summoning all of their core senior executives this time must be a very serious matter.
