Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 843

In the autumn of 200 A.D., Zhu Weiyu, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, personally conquered Youzhou. His army was said to be 50. After taking oath in Luoyang, he marched to the north.

Of course, the so-called 50 army is just an imaginary number. In fact, this time Zhu Wei went to Youzhou in the north. In addition to the [-] Tianyu Battalion of the Chinese Army directly under him, he brought Pang Yan, Huang Zhong, Tai Shici, and Wei Yan four. The army went out together.

On the Nanpi side of Yizhou, Zhu Wei will also bring more than 2 cavalry from the Feiying Battalion under Zhang Liao who is temporarily stationed here to guard against the three Yuan brothers.

In this way, Zhu Wei's Northern Expedition Army finally dispatched about 14 regular troops, plus about 16 manpower such as craftsmen and logistics auxiliary soldiers. In fact, the total size is about [-].

In addition, for Zhu Wei's Northern Expedition this time, Jia Xu and Tian Feng will be the chief and deputy military advisers. In addition, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Xu Shu, Sun Quan and other younger generations will serve as staff officers.

Among them, Pang Tong was deliberately transferred by Zhu Wei from Zulang in the southwest. For this reason, Zhu Wei also replaced Lu Su, who was originally in Huangzhong Huainan Camp, with Pang Tong, and went to Zulang's new Yugui Camp as the chief historian.

This also means that Zhu Wei's policy in the southwest will focus on appeasement, and will no longer provoke the barbarians to fight among themselves in order to increase the local population.

Of course, compared to Lu Su's ability, Pang Tong is more suitable for planning on the battlefield. In addition, Pang Tong also has a lot of experience in dealing with foreign races in the southwest. Now that Pang Tong is transferred to his side, he also uses his experience to deal with them People from Wuhuan and Xianbei.

As for the cabinet ministers like Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong in Luoyang to take care of them, there will be no problem for the time being.

But in Luoyang, Wang Yuyan is actually in charge of the overall situation in secret. Anyway, Zhu Wei already has his eldest son, Zhu Ding. Although he is only less than one year old now, Wang Yuyan can completely control the situation in Luoyang by relying on Zhu Ding.

Relatively speaking, Zhu Wei believed in Wang Yuyan more. Although this seemed to mean that the harem was interfering in politics, Wang Yuyan herself was capable, and Zhu Wei would surely go on many expeditions in the future, so only Wang Yuyan could make Zhu Wei more capable of fighting against the rear. Peace of mind.

Well, this is not much talk, just say that after the news of Zhu Weiyu's personal expedition to Youzhou spread, the three brothers Yuan Shang, Yuan Xi, and Yuan Tan in Youzhou finally couldn't sit still.

Now that Yuan Tan is stationed in Zhuo County, Fanyang County, he is at the forefront of Zhu Wei's Northern Expedition, while Yuan Shang is stationed in Yuyang County in Yuyang County, relatively speaking, at the rear.

But Yuan Tan only had seven or eight thousand troops under his command. How could he stop Zhu Wei's so-called 50 troops from attacking? Therefore, Yuan Tan immediately withdrew his troops to find King Xianbei outside the Great Wall under the pretext of going to Xianbei for support. court.

The combined strength of Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang here is less than 50. Seeing Yuan Tan fleeing at this time, although they were a little afraid of Zhu Wei's [-] troops, they still gave up on Youzhou without reconciliation. land.

So the two contacted the familiar Wuhuan tribe, borrowed [-] Wuhuan cavalry from the Wuhuan people, and then took the initiative to go to Zhuo County, Fanyang County to prepare to face Zhu Wei's army.

It’s just that although Zhu Wei also gathered a large army for the Northern Expedition, under the advice of Jia Xu and Tian Feng, Zhu Wei sent an order to Gongsun Du in Liaodong first, asking Gongsun Du to lead troops from the left rear of Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi’s army. At the same time, Zhu Wei also asked Ma Teng to contact the familiar Wuhuan tribe and launch an attack from the right rear wing of Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi's army.

As for Zhu Wei's army, they slowed down their speed to the north. Although they also entered the territory of Fanyang County in Youzhou, they only slowly approached Zhuo County, attracting the attention of Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi.

On the one hand, this is a heart-pumping tactic, and on the other hand, it is also a test for the Wuhuan tribe that Gongsun Du and Ma Teng have contacted.

Now that Zhu Wei's army has come to Youzhou, it is natural to completely bring Youzhou under the control of the Central Plains, so it is naturally impossible for the Liaodong Gongsun family to regard Liaodong as their back garden.

Therefore, if Gongsun Du is sensible this time, it is best to obey Zhu Wei's call, and then accept Zhu Wei's control over Liaodong, otherwise Zhu Wei doesn't mind taking the army to Liaodong by the way. It's hard to say.

As for the Wuhuan tribe, since the Wuhuan tribe helped the Yuan brothers, then Zhu Wei must ask other Wuhuan tribes to express their views, otherwise there is no need for the Wuhuan people to exist in Youzhou, and Zhu Wei does not need one Help the rebellious dependent clan.

As a result, under Zhu Wei's strength, Gongsundu of Liaodong took the initiative to send [-] troops to attack Yuyang County. As for Ma Teng, he also contacted several Wuhuan tribes, and nearly [-] Wuhuan cavalry also came. Ma Teng's army directly attacked Ji County.

Therefore, the Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi brothers received the news of the attack in the rear before they officially fought with Zhu Weijun in Zhuo County, so they had to withdraw their troops from Ji County first, trying to resist the threat of Ma Teng's army to Ji County.

But when the two brothers Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi were preparing to retreat with the Wuhuan cavalry, Zhu Wei took Zhang Liao's light cavalry as the forerunner and launched a strong attack on the Yuan brothers' army. The four armies of Li, Taishici, and Wei Yan pursued and attacked at the same time.

So Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi hurriedly fought against the attacking Zhu Weijun on the way from Zhuo County to Ji County.

Whether it was the [-] Wuhuan cavalry borrowed by the Yuan brothers from Wuhuan, or the soldiers of Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi's own family, when they encountered Zhang Liao's light cavalry in the wild, they were all attacked by the cavalry's kite-like riding and shooting tactics. unstable.

Then they encountered repeated attacks by the four armies of Pang Yan, Huang Zhong, Tai Shici, and Wei Yan. Before they could withdraw to Ji County, the whole army collapsed.

In the end, during the chaotic battle pursued by Zhang Liao's light cavalry, Yuan Xi encountered half-armored cavalry led by Zhao Yun charging and chasing him, and was picked up by Zhao Yun and fell off his horse. Encountering an ambush by Ma Teng's army, Yuan Shang was also stabbed to death by Ma Dai, a young general of the Ma family, in the rebellious army.

In this way, all the Yuan brothers died on the battlefield, and their remnant army naturally had no intention of resisting again. Zhu Wei captured Fanyang County, Yanguo County, and Yuyang County without any effort.

As for the Wuhuan tribe who sent troops to support the Yuan brothers, Zhu Wei just used the captured Wuhuan cavalry as slaves, and then severely reprimanded the Wuhuan tribe to which the captured Wuhuan cavalry belonged, and asked their leaders to come to Ji County to kowtow. Zhu Wei, accepted the angry questioning of Emperor Ming.

However, Zhu Wei didn't really exterminate them, but after some threats, he let them go lightly, because Zhu Wei needed to keep them and continue to restrain the rest of the Wuhuan tribe.

Of course, in the future, Zhu Wei will also implement the policy of integrating ethnic groups in Youzhou, and gradually these Wuhuan people will be integrated into the Han ethnic group, and the existence of Wuhuan people will be virtually eliminated by then.

Then Zhu Wei met Gongsun Du, the prefect of Liaodong in Ji County, and said a few words of comfort to him, and then recruited him to join the army of the Northern Expedition, and continued to prepare to go out to attack the Xianbei who had accepted Yuan Tan.

At the same time, Zhu Wei sent Wei Yan to take Bi Fangying to station in Liaodong, and at the same time Zhu Wei also sent Zhuge Liang to deal with local affairs.

Zhu Wei took advantage of the opportunity when Gongsundu brought the main force of Liaodong outside, let Wei Yan completely take over the military of Liaodong, and then Zhuge Liang used means to transfer the officials of the original counties of Liaodong to Youzhou, and then selected new ones in Liaodong. A group of officials took office, which completely disintegrated the Gongsun family's control over Liaodong.

Of course, Zhu Wei said all this clearly when he met Gongsundu, but Gongsundu was in Zhu Weijun's tent, how dare he have any objections, so he could only agree with his nose.

In fact, Zhu Wei saw through the Three Kingdoms game system that Gongsundu's loyalty was only in the [-]s, and he knew that he didn't really surrender to himself in his heart, so Zhu Wei would forcibly rectify Liaodong.

What Zhu Wei did was another test for Gongsun Du. If there was any change in Gongsun Du, then Zhu Wei would simply solve him completely, but Gongsun Du obviously endured everything...
