?  The Liangzhou side was trapped in a quagmire of fighting on both sides due to Han Sui's unexpected rebellion and the undeclared battle of the Sima family in Yizhou, and it was difficult to decide the outcome for a while.

Since Zhao Xing handed over the full responsibility of the political affairs and military affairs of Liang State to Guan Yu and Jia Xu, he devoted more energy to the direction of Jizhou. He did not change the established combat plan because the Yizhou army invaded Wudu and the imperial court mobilized troops in the Hedong County area.

The 10,000 troops that supplemented Xiong Ju and Xiong Wu Army respectively had arrived in Youzhou. Lu Bu's Flying Tiger Army took over the mission of Xiong Ju Army and was stationed in Youbeiping County to defend against rebellion between Gongsun Du in Liaodong and ethnic minorities in the north. The Xiong Ju Army was transferred to the Fangcheng area of ​​Zhuo County, and advanced in unison with the Xiong Wu Army in Fanyang to the west. The next battle target was naturally Jizhou in the south.

The 40,000 troops of the Dingyuan Army were divided into four divisions, among which Huang Xuan's army is currently in Liang Kingdom, Yan Sheng's army is stationed in Wuyuan, and Yao Xing's army is stationed in Yuyang, leaving only 10,000 Han military advisors. The division commander Yan Rou led to Zhongyang County, responsible for restraining the imperial army in Hedong.

The 30,000 dragon cavalry commanded by Zhang Liao had already completed the assembly, and now he is hiding not far west of Huguan. After the attack order was issued, the army rushed towards Huguan occupied by Yuan Shao's army.

The three armies of Jin State looked at Jizhou. If Yuan Shao had no feelings at all, it would be deceiving himself. However, this time Yuan Shao was brave and was ready to resist the Jin State army.

Yuan Shao has been pieced together in the past two years and has formed 80,000 troops under his command. Although his combat effectiveness is average, the number is good enough to be intimidating, so he has some confidence. This time he dared to completely turn against Jin State. Not only did he send people to Yuyang City to make trouble, but he also drove all the merchants of Jin State mercilessly.

Yuan Shao's courage also came from the court. He felt that as long as he withstood the first wave of fierce attacks from Jin State, not only would his ally Cao Cao send troops to rescue him, but even the court would not sit idly by.

Time flies, and it is already mid-December, and the Spring Festival will be in ten days. According to the traditional customs of Jin State, all regions should prepare for the New Year at this time, but this year there is no such atmosphere. All the people of Jin State are indeed busy, but they are busy rushing to build various weapons and supplies for the Jin army. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and had to avenge the great revenge that the Jin State merchants were killed and the goods were seized.

The various newspapers published by Jin State wrote very clearly: The merchants of Jin State represent the interests of the people of Jin State. They left their families and worked hard to travel across the states in the world. Their death was related to every citizen of Jin State. The article signed by Taifu Zhao Xing appeared in the Jin State even more rarely, with the title "Blood debt still needs blood to be paid!" In the article, Zhao Taifu called on the people of all walks of life in Jin State to unite and completely eliminate all forces that dare to despise the laws of Jin State!

No one of the people of Jin accused the Taifu of his words and had a grammatical symptom. They put the law of Jin above the laws of the Han Dynasty. Everyone only knew that Jin was bullied. This mistake could not be forgiven. A group of people had to be buried for their dead comrades. Including the teachers and students of Taihang Academy, although they were accustomed to saying the sentence "Heaven, Earth, Lord, Parents and Teachers", they also shouted the radical slogan "Build my spear and spear, and share the same hatred with my son" without hesitation.

On December 20, the day when the general attack on Jizhou was scheduled, the Xiongwu Army, Xiong Ju Army and the Long Cavalry Army rushed to the combat targets from three different directions, and no one said anything nonsense. Without saying hello, Jizhou killed the merchants of Jin and seized the goods of Jin. This time, the Jin army was about to not say hello to Yuan Shao from the beginning, and would not stop until all the Jizhou soldiers were driven into the Yellow River.

The Xiongwu army went out of Fanyang, and the first one to attack was Zhongshan Kingdom. The fully prepared Xiongwu army carried a large number of siege equipment to destroy all the cities that dared to block the army's road. The overwhelming crossbows, hundreds of kilograms of rolling stones and deafening thunder poured down as if they were not spent money. In just three days, they captured the entire Zhongshan territory.

Chunyu Qiong, the generals of Yuan Shao who were stationed in Zhongshan Kingdom, and the 10,000 troops were unable to resist the crazy attack of the Xiongwu Army. Chunyu Qiong and Li Jinwu fought against the generals on the battlefield, but were stabbed to death by Li Jinwu with a spear. The 10,000 Yuan army was also killed by the Xiongwu Army as if they were catching ducks, killing them and arresting them, and even 10,000 Yuan troops were not escaped.

After the Xiongwu Army took over Zhongshan Kingdom in one breath, the reserve troops followed up from Youzhou immediately took over the counties and counties in Zhongshan Kingdom. All officials who had no time to escape were expelled. Officials from Jin who had received the appointment documents immediately took office and were responsible for restoring all orders in Zhongshan.

It is not difficult to see from the tacit cooperation between the Jin* team and local officials that this attack on Jizhou was not a punitive revenge, but a real piece of land was to occupy a piece of land and would never be given up in the future. If Yuan Shao knew that Zhao Xing had been secretly operating for a whole year in order to plot against him, he would be furious.

The Xiong Ju army, who sent troops from Fangcheng, first attacked the Hejian Kingdom east of Zhongshan Kingdom. Their way of siege was exactly the same as that of the Xiongwu Army, and even more terrifying. Xu Shu first ordered the special war brigade to sneak into the territory of Hejian Kingdom and to destroy it, and even assassinated the Yuan army generals Han Heng and Cen Bi who were stationed in Hejian Kingdom. After causing huge chaos in Hejian, the Xiong Ju army's firearms troops immediately launched a saturation attack on the Yuan army. After only one round of intensive bombing of sky thunder, Yuan Shao's army completely collapsed and went out of the city to surrender, not daring to resist at all.

After the Xiongwu Army and Xiongju Army occupied the two major counties of Zhongshan and Hejian Kingdom at a speed of destruction, the Xiongwu Army turned west and attacked Changshan Kingdom to the west of Zhongshan Kingdom; the Xiongju Army turned east and attacked Bohai County to the east of Hejian Kingdom. What Li Jinwu and Xu Shu did not expect was that the garrisons of these two counties and states received the order from Yuan Shao to retreat to Julu County, and put the troops together, preparing to defend Taocheng to the death. Therefore, the Xiongwu Army and Xiongju Army actually took over Changshan and Bohai without much effort, and occupied half of the territory of Jizhou.

Zhang Liao, who was responsible for opening the passage from the West Road to Lin County, encountered strong resistance from Yuan Shao's nephew, the senior official at Huguan, which made Zhang Liao, who was eager to go to Jizhou to find Yuan Shao's bad luck. While Zhang Liao complained that his fourth brother had thrown Huguan to the East Road coalition, he summoned tens of thousands of people to do civil engineering, preparing to use the method of the East Road coalition to capture Huguan, and in turn drove Yuan's army back at Huguan.

At this time, an urgent report came from Wohu City. After reading it, Zhang Liao laughed to the sky, and then said to himself: "I just said that when I repaired the Huguan like an iron bucket, wouldn't it be a waste of money that guy Yuan Shao? It turned out that there was a secret passage under the gate. I wonder why Li Zhi didn't find it when he led people to dig the tunnel?"

It turned out that after the war to defend Bingzhou was over, Huguan fell into Yuan Shao's hands. After several negotiations, Yuan Shao refused to hand over it. In a fit of anger, Zhao Xing mobilized the people to rebuild a more majestic Huguan, which was only two miles away from the original Huguan, and corresponded to each other. This time, Zhang Liao led his army eastward to take down the old Huguan guarded by the senior officials, and completely open up the road from the middle section of Taihang Mountain in the middle of Jin State to Jizhou, and prepare for future jurisdiction over Jizhou.

Although the old Huguan is smaller than the new Huguan, it is also very steep and steep. Even if it is thunder, it will be difficult to work, so Zhang Liao was worried. When he received a secret letter from Zhao Xing, he learned that the old Huguan was built, he deliberately left a secret passage. Naturally, he was overjoyed and only hoped that the night would come soon. Then he led a large army to pass through the tunnel and captured the senior officials on the old Huguan alive. ~ See the first release without any advertisements, please come to "
