Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 834 Ye City Attacked
At this time, Zhu Wei's main force of the Northern Expedition had also joined Pang Yan's Xiongba camp. With the help of Yuan Shang's original camp, Zhu Wei's army formed a large camp facing Liyang City to encircle the coalition forces.

After all, Zhu Wei's current military strength has reached nearly 20 after adding the Xiongba camp, so the spread out camp will naturally occupy a large area.

Of course, Zhu Wei was very careful in choosing the place to build the camp. Naturally, he would not give Yuan Shang the opportunity to burn the company camp. Well, in fact, when Yuan Shang chose the camp, he also prevented the possibility of being burned by Zhu Weijun. Now Zhu Weijun basically occupies these Yuan Jun camps for his own use, so naturally there will be no such problem.

But as time passed, a piece of news from Yecheng could not help but surprise Yuan Shang. It turned out that when Zhu Weijun and Yuan Shangjun gathered forces in Liyang for a head-to-head confrontation, Yecheng encountered Zhu Weijun's sneak attack.

At the same time, according to the urgent letter from Yecheng, Yecheng could no longer resist, because Zhu Weijun tricked a gate of Yecheng from the beginning, and now Yuan Shaojun in Yecheng could only rely on the inner city to defend. But Zhu Weijun's offensive is extremely strong, and the inner city probably won't last long.

The army that attacked Yecheng was the nearly [-] army composed of Wei Yan's Jingnan Camp and Zhang Yan's Heishan Army after Taiyuan County of Bingzhou successfully captured Jinyang City.

Previously, Wei Yan and Zhang Yan jointly besieged Jinyang City. Even though Gao Gan intended to defend to the death, he was gradually unable to resist the strong attack of Zhang Yan who wanted to show off.

As for Wei Yan, he still wanted to preserve his strength at the beginning, and waited to participate in the battle on Luoyang, but he didn't expect that the situation on Luoyang's side changed too quickly. Cao Cao turned from Hulao Pass to attack Dagu Pass, but was ambushed by Zhu Weijun Defeated, and thus withdrew Xudu.

On the other hand, Yuan Shao on the north bank of the Yellow River, after discovering that Cao Cao had withdrawn his troops, also took the initiative to withdraw his troops and returned to Yecheng. In this way, the battle situation in Luoyang was basically over.

Naturally, Wei Yan had no way to win any battles in Luoyang, so Wei Yan also put his focus back on the battles in Jinyang City, this time Wei Yan didn't play soy sauce.

As a result, the high-ranking officials who had been forced into the inner city of Jinyang by Wei Yan and Zhang Yan, faced with Wei Yan, who was once again focusing on the battle of Jinyang, and Zhang Yan, who had always been very attentive, couldn't resist in the end, and committed suicide in Jinyang City.

Almost when Zhu Wei sent troops to attack Cao Cao in Puyang City, Wei Yan and Zhang Yan successfully captured Jinyang City.

It's just that they didn't get the next military order from Zhu Weijun, so they had to continue to stay in Jinyang City, and then moved the population of Heishan to settle in Jinyang.

However, with the end of the joint attack on Jinyang City by Wei Yan and Zhang Yan, the relationship between the two parties has improved a lot.

Well, there is also a process of not being acquainted with each other. Anyway, it was Wei Yan who overwhelmed Zhang Yan and many Black Mountain generals under Zhang Yan in terms of force, but this also made Zhang Yan and other Black Mountain thieves admire Wei Yan's strength. Zhu Wei has more respect.

Of course, there are not many black bandit generals under Zhang Yan who can be famous in history at this time, and now there are only one black bandit general recorded in history books, Guo Daxian and Li Damu.

And Zhang Yan originally relied on his ability, although he was attached to Zhu Wei's name, he still underestimated Zhu Wei, the young protagonist who rose up in the south. After all, Zhang Yan was also the leader of the Black Mountain Army who dominated the north, and he was actually a little small in his heart. Look at the general of the south.

But now compared with Wei Yan, Zhang Yan found that there seemed to be a small gap between him and Wei Yan.

Originally, Zhang Yan thought that Wei Yan should be regarded as one of the best figures in the Zhu Wei army, but he felt a little wronged for Wei Yan. How could a character with such strength be sent by Zhu Wei to be an outsider?

Ordinarily, a general like Wei Yan should naturally be placed on the main battlefield in Luoyang.

And Wei Yan didn't dare to be too proud at this time, so he told the truth that there were actually many stronger figures in Zhu Weijun than him, such as Pang Yan, Huang Zhong, and Tai Shici, even he needed to look up.

In addition, there are Zhang Liao, Ma Chao, Gan Ning and others, so Wei Yan can only say that he is on par with him, so now Wei Yan can be valued by Zhu Wei, and leading the first army of Jingnanying is already Zhu Wei's value for him up.

This made Zhang Yan even more surprised. He originally felt that he was far inferior to Wei Yan, but he didn't expect that there were so many people above Wei Yan that Wei Yan was convinced of, and that there were so many people who could make Wei Yan admit that his strength was almost the same. character, Zhu Weijun is really too strong.

In this way, the small thoughts hidden in Zhang Yan's heart were directly resolved.

At the same time, after the news of Wei Yan and Zhang Yan's success to Zhu Wei was passed, although Zhu Wei did not arrange their next move, he also reported some of Zhu Weijun's current progress.

When Zhang Yan heard that Zhu Weijun had gone to conquer Cao Cao and fled Cao Cao to Puyang, he couldn't help being a little shocked by Zhu Weijun's strength.

It's just that after Wei Yan learned of Zhu Weijun's military situation, he was not willing to be idle in Jinyang, and he couldn't help thinking about what he could do at this stage and what opportunities he could get to make contributions.

Then after thinking about it, Wei Yan came up with an adventurous idea, that is to attack Yecheng by surprise.

It's just that Yuan Shao in Yecheng has an army of more than 5000 after all, and Wei Yan's Jingnan Camp now has only [-] to [-] people, so Wei Yan thought carefully and found Zhang Yan, hoping to join forces with Zhang Yan Send troops to attack Yecheng.

It just so happened that Zhang Yan was the local snake in Yizhou. With Zhang Yan's familiarity with Taihang Mountain, it was entirely possible for the two coalition forces to move from Taihang Mountain to the vicinity of Yecheng and look for an opportunity to attack Yecheng.

In fact, in 193 AD, Mu Hushou of Jizhou, appointed by the Chang'an court, took advantage of Yuan Shao's army to go north to fight against Gongsun Zan. He united with the Black Mountain Army Zhang Yanyu Du and more than ten troops to attack Yuan Shao's hometown Yecheng.

At that time, Hu Shou rebelled against the soldiers of Yecheng in Wei County, and with the assistance of Zhang Yan, Yu Du and other black mountain bandits, he really succeeded in capturing Yecheng and killed Yuan Shao's prefect Su Cheng who stayed in Yecheng.

If it weren't for a Black Mountain bandit general named Tao Sheng who betrayed the Black Mountain Allied Army at a critical moment and privately protected Yuan Shao's family members to escape from Yecheng, I am afraid that many people in Yuan Shao's family would have died at that time.

It was only later that Yuan Shao led the army to counterattack and fought fiercely with Yu Du's army in Cangyan Valley of Chaoge Luchang Mountain for five days. In the first battle, he defeated Yu Du's Heishan army, beheaded Yu Du, Hu Shou and others, and completely regained the army. Yecheng.

Then Yuan Shao took advantage of the situation to besiege the various tribes of Heishan bandits in Heishan, beheaded Zuo Miaozhangba and other Heishan bandits, and defeated Liu Shi, Qing Niujiao, Huang Long, Zuo Xiao, Guo Daxian, Li Damu, Yu Yangen and other Heishan bandits. The population in Zhong was also massacred by Yuan Shao.

At that time, Zhang Yan fought against Lu Bu, who was attached to Yuan Shao's army, in the territory of Changshan Kingdom.

It can be said that it was only after this that Zhang Yan was supported by the remnants of the Black Mountain Army as the leader, thus truly commanding the Black Mountain Army.

But it was also at this time that the Black Mountain Army gradually entered a period of weakness, because most of the main force of the Black Mountain Army had been encircled and suppressed by Yuan Shao before, and Zhang Yan himself lost a lot of troops in the battle of Changshan.

But now Wei Yan wants to talk to Zhang Yan, hoping that the two will join forces to attack Yecheng together...
