Chapter 563 Attacking Shangdang
Guo Tu's words are heartbreaking and every sentence is heartbreaking.
Yuan Shao's face changed again and again.
"I just remembered that Lu Bu was not only in trouble to surrender to me. When Dong Zhuo was in trouble, Lu Bu also killed Ding Yuan!"
Yuan Shao held the sword in his hand and murmured.
"Lu Bu is brave, and he is a sharp blade. You can use Lu Bu for the time being to deal with Zhang Yan. However, you cannot give Lu Bu many troops. Beware of your guards at all times. After this knife removes Zhang Yan for Ming Gong, Ming Gong will break the knife."
The inspector suggested to Yuan Shao.
"Lu Bu is treacherous and fierce, and has a wolfish ambition. He can only control one army, but not one army."
Yuan Shao nodded.
...
On the other hand, Liu Fan led his army back to the battlefield and crossed the Qi River. For a long time, this place was to prevent Yuan Shao's important barriers.
After Liu Fan pacified Shanxi, the offensive lines would become more common.
Although the eight passes of Taihang are shared by our enemies and us, as long as the strong soldiers are sufficient and can enter Jizhou by running through one pass.
Jundu Xing, Puyin Xing, Feihu Xing, Jing Xing, Fukou Xing, Bai Xing, Taihang Xing, and Zhuguan Xing, these are the eight Taihang Xings.
It is the eight throat passages that cross the Taihang Mountains, Jizhou, Sili, Bingzhou, Youzhou, and intersect with each other. It is the location of an important military pass on the borders of the four states.
The Taihang Mountains are extended for thousands of miles, with hundreds of ridges connected, with thousands of peaks standing, and thousands of ravines and gullies deep. Many rivers in Shanxi cut through the Taihang Mountains. From south to north, there are Qinshui, Danshui, Zhangshui and other rivers, thus forming several canyons passing through the Taihang Mountains.
At this time, most of the eight passes of Taihang were the hiding places of the "million" Heishan Army.
If the Black Mountain Army wants to survive, it is impossible for it to stay in Taihang Mountains. Others must come out to rob counties and counties to provide daily needs.
Shangdang, Hanoi, and Taiyuan are all their targets of plunder.
Liu Fan dismounted here on the banks of the Qishui River.
"Pan Feng is unforgettable for the Prime Minister to recreate his grace. Just Pan Feng is a reckless man, how can he match two cities?"
Pan Feng dismounted and bowed to Liu Fan.
"Yuan Shao is ignorant. If the summer cicada doesn't know the snow in winter, you are worth 100 cities. Yuan Shao actually exchanged two cities for me. What's wrong with you?"
Liu Fan helped Pan Feng up and spoke.
"At the beginning of the year, the Prime Minister saved me at the Arc destiny and thanked me for my gratitude. I really don't know what to repay me. I will dedicate my heart to the Prime Minister today. I will be the first to be in a position of eight feet.
When Pan Feng heard Liu Fan's words, his body was trembling, his face was filled with tears, and he was grateful.
"I have another great general under my command! The destiny of heaven is in Han."
Liu Fan nodded with relief, and then said to Pan Fengfeng: "You are brave and powerful as a tiger. I will give you the title of General Tiger Power. Your troops will be commanded by your command. In the future, you will train according to our army system. After you get Shangdang and take down Huguan, you will lead your troops to guard Huguan. Be responsible for the extermination of the Heishan Army and prevent the Heishan Army from entering Shanxi and Yuan Shao's army. In the future, I will attack the rebels in Jizhou. I will have the opportunity to make achievements!"
"The last thing will be done to fulfill the mission!"
Pan Feng bowed to Liu Fan again.
"Shangdang Zhang Yang is still lucky and resists stubbornly. His troops are in the north of Chaoge City. Ru led his strong troops to support Huang Zhong and Gai Xun. They forced Zhang Yang and Zhang Yi to surrender."
Liu Fan ordered Pan Feng.
"promise!"
Pan Feng bowed and took the order.
Liu Fan could not stay in Hanoi for long. He wanted to go back and arrange everything, personally lead his troops to advance westward, and defeat the Western Regions in one fell swoop.
Before leaving, Liu Fan summoned the former Jizhou Assassin Han Fu.
"The Korean Festival is connected with all the scholars and reads the Nine Classics. Even if you are not a minister of a state, you are still a great scholar. I will not care about the past. I can arrange for you whatever you want to do in the future!"
After seeing Han Fu, Liu Fan said to him.
"Mediocre people dare not make extravagant requests. I wish to enter the school palace and pass on all my knowledge to future generations to enjoy my old age."
Han Fu looked ashamed and bowed and said.
"Shan, Korean Festival, or Korean Festival. Zheng Kang becomes a priest in the academy. Your knowledge is more than enough to be a doctor."
Liu Fan was very satisfied with Han Fu's answer.
"I only see the prime minister's aura in my life. The prime minister can follow the affairs of sages, which is not something I can achieve. When I went to the name of Han Jizhou, I realized that I was just a little talent. In order to repay the prime minister, I am willing to spend the rest of my life and do my best to cultivate ten thousand stones for the prime minister. I feel that there is only so much I have done!"
Han Fu felt ashamed of himself and said to Liu Fan.
"Why should you belittle yourself? All the stones can come from the poor. Maybe there are some of your students like me."
Liu Fan talked and laughed, and said to Han Fu.
"Don't dare to ask for it!"
Han Fu bowed to Liu Fan and said goodbye to Liu Fan.
Liu Fan smiled and sent Han Fu away.
The prime minister can hold a boat in his stomach, and this sentence also flows out from this moment.
On that day, Liu Fan's military orders were conveyed to Shangdang, Huang Zhong and Gai Xun began to attack Shangdang.
After Huang Zhong and Gai Xun received the order, they led nearly 30,000 cavalrymen, survived the Taihang Mountains, conquered the Tianbing Pass, and entered Shangdang County and Gaodu County.
The magistrate of Gaodu County and the magistrate of Yanga County were surrendered.
Two days later, Pan Feng led 10,000 strong soldiers to join Huang Zhong in Gaocheng.
The army increased to 38,000, and its momentum remained unabated, and it stood towards the Xuan family.
Shangdang is a big county in the Taihang Mountains.
The party is the place where it is on the mountain, so it is called Shangdang.
Shangdang has many mountains, fertile land in the Changzhi Basin and Jincheng Basin. It allows Shangdang to be self-sufficient and does not require other counties to provide it.
Shangdang leans on Taihang in the east, and Taiyue in the west borders the Fen Shuiyuan. The land is high and dangerous, and it has been a place that must be fought for by military strategists since ancient times.
During the Warring States Period, Qin and Zhao broke out in order to compete for Shangdang.
After the subsequent Battle of Handan, Zhao State recaptured Shangdang as soon as possible.
It can be seen that the importance of Shangdang. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that "you can go to Shangdang and look at the Central Plains."
If Liu Fan got Shangdang, it would be a fatal blow to Zhang Yi and Xing Ji's psychological defense line.
Under Gai Xun's suggestion, Huang Zhong sent Yu Jin to lead 5,000 cavalrymen, from the Xuan family, and interspersed from the Taiyue Valley, and directly attacked the rear of the eldest son of Shangdang County, and intercepted all the supplies and troops of the eldest son to support the eldest son, leaving the Changzi City isolated and helpless.
After receiving the news that Yu Jin led his troops to appear in the north of his eldest son, Zhang Yang was very anxious.
They didn't dare to confront Huang Zhong and Gai Xun on the plains.
Nearly half of Huang Zhong and Gai Xun's command were cavalrymen.
Zhang Yang mobilized all the troops in the county and only got 30,000. The decisive battle was like hitting a stone with an egg.
Zhang Yang also sent people to Taiyuan and Taihang Mountains to ask for support from Zhang Yi and Zhang Yan.
However, Tian Feng led 15,000 cavalry on the border between Yanmen and Taiyuan, and Zhang Yi did not dare to act rashly.
Zhang Yan had not yet fully controlled the tribes of Heishan at this time. He was very afraid of Liu Fanjun, who was so powerful that he did not dare to intervene.
A day later, the Xuan family surrendered in Changkai City, and Gai Xun continued to lead the soldiers and march towards the eldest son.
Zhang Yang was alone in guarding Shangdang, and his weakness was too obvious. Although Shangdang was a place where military strategists won, Zhang Yang's territory was only Shangdang, and he was not strong in his troops.
