Chapter 160 Friction in Youzhou The role of the Yellow Turban has been lost in the eyes of powerful nobles.
The Yellow Turban Army, which has been successful for two months, will face a double blow from the Central Army and local powerful private soldiers.
The central government sent troops in two directions, and the ministers recommended three people as the main generals to fight against the chaos.
One of them is Lu Zhi and Lu Ziqian, a native of Zhuo County, Zhuo was eight feet two inches tall and had a voice like a bell. He was not only a great scholar in the world, but he also suppressed rebellions in Jiujiang and , Situ, Sikong and General all elected him as imperial court appointed him as Beizhonglang General, leading the 3th battalion of the Northern Army with [-] soldiers. He also recruited soldiers from all counties in the country to march to Jizhou to annihilate Zhangjiao.
The second is Zhu Jun and Zhu Gongwei from Shangyu in grew up in a humble family, worked his way up the ranks, and put down a rebellion in Jiaozhi. He was considered to be quite ministers and officials all recommended him as a imperial court appointed him as General You Zhonglang, and he led [-] troops to march eastward from Sheyuan Pass to resist the Yellow Turban Army in Yingchuan.
The third was Huangfu Song, the man from the An Ding was born into a military family. His father, Huangfu Jie, served as the governor of Yanmen, and his uncle, Huangfu Gui, was the general of Liao was about to be promoted to the governor of the North to defend against Xianbei, but the Yellow Turban Rebellion suddenly broke out, and the court was in the midst of hiring people, so he was appointed Zuo Zhonglang General, with Chijie leading the Five Schools, the Three Rivers Knights and more than [-] elite soldiers. people, and cooperated with Zhu Jun to march eastward.
Jizhou was the leader of the Yellow Turbans, while Yingchuan and Runan were too close to Luoyang. This was the first wave of Yellow Turbans to be hit.
At the same time, powerful nobles from all over the country took action upon hearing the news.
Zhang Jiao and others can rebel and kill officials, but this kind of loss is in addition to these, they also broke the stronghold of the nobles, killed the nobles, robbed property, and violated the bottom line of the powerful nobles.
Therefore, after the political goal was achieved, the powerful nobles did not hesitate to treat the Yellow Turban thieves as abandoned sons.
# At this time, Liu Han was not in Bingzhou, but in Youzhou.
Zhuo County.
"Han Sheng, you said I reminded Guo Xun, why is he still such a waste?"
Liu Han was very angry. Guo Xun couldn't even handle the Yellow Turban in Youzhou, and he almost died. If he hadn't been merciful, he would have already eaten by now.
"My Lord, the Yellow Turbans are so powerful, why don't we lead the Bingzhou Army south to put down the rebellion, instead of just hanging out here?"
"Why are you so anxious? There are still three thousand nails in the broken ship. Although Zhang Jue is not that good, he has so many people under his command, so it won't be easy to take him down."
"Then lord, why are we..."
"We are in Wuhuan now, understand?"
Monk Huang Zhongzhang was confused, but he still obeyed, "Yes."
# This is also the reason why the nobles sent Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song, and Zhu Jun to fight, because the King of Hejian was in Wuhuan at this time.
The Han army occupied Danhan Mountain and built a city here. After a year of construction, the city began to take shape.
During this period, Wuhuan sent nearly [-] Han people who had plundered the past, and Liu Han ordered them to settle here. They can be said to be the first batch of aborigines.
"Qiu Liju, Zilouban, Congzi Tadun, Nanlou, Su Puyan."
These people are currently the main leaders of Wuhuan.
Qiu Liju, Lord Wuwan of Liaoxi;
In Nanlou, Lord Wuhuan of Shanggu, commanded more than 9000 people and called himself has the largest number of people among all the took the post of Master Wuhuan in western Liaoning and took charge of the post of Wuhuan in the three counties. Nanlou also followed his orders.
Su Puyan, Lord Karasuma of the Liaodong vassal led more than a thousand people and called himself King Qiao. He submitted to Qiu Liju and are eight thousand troops stationed in Guanghe City, but how can they allow others to sleep soundly beside the couch? The closest to Liu Han was the Shanggu tribe of Wuhuan. Therefore, starting from the sixth year of Guanghe (183), Liu Han took advantage of the hatred of Wuhuan among these Han people to constantly provoke trouble and cause friction with Wuhuan.
I have to admit that the Wuhuan people are really more tolerant than the Xianbei people. They just don't conflict with the Han people. It once made Liu Han suspect that he was a barbarian and they were civilized people.
But the clay figurine still has a bad temper, let alone a Wuhuan person.
Nanlou could not bear Liu Han's annoyance and asked Qiu Liju for help. Qiu Liju had no choice but to lead his army to the north of Shanggu.
Therefore, the light and the seventh month are January.
A battle broke out between the Han army and the Wuhuan tribe near Baishan Mountain to the east of Danhan Mountain. (Northwest of Yanshan Mountains, northeast of Zhangbei County) This time, the Han army had 5000 cavalry, including Huang Zhong's [-] Huolin troops, and the remaining [-] were light cavalry. The participating generals included three newcomers, Zhao Yun, Taishi Ci, and Dian Wei, and the young general Zhang Liao.
One year later, Liu Han's strength increased a lot. His army reached 12, plus [-] field troops, and his cavalry increased to [-], a real [-] cavalry.
The huge number of cavalry and the speed of spending money really scares people to death, so Liu Han chose to support war with war and used Wuhuan's blood to support his cavalry.
At the rear of the army were Liu Han's three thousand Yu Lin Guards, flanked by Chen Dao and Jia Xu.
Wuhuan's side had [-] cavalry, but the eliteness of the army was not comparable to that of the Han army.
In this battle, the Bingzhou Army was preparing to use the Wuhuan people to test their new tactics. First, the light cavalry would lure the enemy deep. Then the outpost troops responsible for luring the enemy would attract the enemy to the hinterland. The heavy cavalry would launch a countercharge, and then the cavalry on both wings would come from behind. The two sides circle around, hugging the opponent like arms. Once the time is right, the luring enemy troops will turn around and complete the counterattack with friendly forces.
This was also the strategy used by Huang Zhong in the decisive battle with the Xianbei people in Daqing Mountain, but it was just a matter of adaptability. Liu Han only learned about it from the battle report submitted by Huang Zhong after the war.
"Isn't this the Mongolian method of warfare?"
Afterwards, Liu Han gathered everyone to analyze and improve Huang Zhong's new tactics. If the effect was good, he would promote it to the entire army.
This time, it was the first appearance.
First, Zhang Liao led the Qingqi to pretend to be defeated and retreat while fighting, leading the Wuhuan people into the Han army's encirclement.
The Wuhuan people were not aware of the Han army's conspiracy. Seeing that there were not many Zhang Liao soldiers, they thought of attacking with the whole army first and eating this Han army.
However, when the Wuhuan people noticed that there were Han people on both wings, it was already too late.
Zhao Yun on the left and Huang Zhong on the right each led 6000 men to surround them in a pincer formation, while Dian Wei's [-] Fire Lin Army was on the front! The Wuhuan people were directly overwhelmed by this torrent of steel. Before their formation could stabilize, they were stabbed twice by the Han army in the rear. In just a quarter of an hour, the 3000-strong army was cut into four pieces. That [-] people were directly eaten by the Han army.
That was the most elite warrior of Wuhuan in Shanggu. Nanlou's heart was bleeding, but to no avail.
What made them most uncomfortable was that after the first round of attacks by the two sides finally ended, before they could stabilize their position, the first three thousand Han cavalry stabbed them in the back again.
The Han troops from the front and the two flanks once again surrounded and attacked, and they collapsed at the first touch.
The fighting power of the Wuhuan people was far inferior to that of the Xianbei people, and half of the army in Liu Han's hands had experience in fighting with the Xianbei people, so there was no suspense in the battle.
In the end, of the 3 Wuhuan troops, 100 were annihilated and [-] escaped, while less than [-] Han soldiers were killed.
