Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 637
Chapter 635: Great Battle in the Central Plains
Although Yuanmeng and Manqing have been successfully established, there are too many potential obstacles, so their internal stability is not stable.

But wanting to completely consolidate the internal, this is by no means an overnight achievement.

Temujin and Nurhaci obviously knew this, and all the queens who were proclaimed emperors tacitly chose to recuperate.

Whether it is Yuanmeng or Manqing, their strength is expanding too fast, and it is impossible to completely indigest without several years of repair.

Therefore, both sides are preparing to carry out a major overhaul that will last for several years. First, twist themselves into a single rope, work hard to tap the internal potential, and then continue to fight in the Quartet. This is the safest way.

Yuan Meng chose to rest his troops to cultivate, which gave the Jin army valuable breathing time, and took advantage of this gap to build Zhenbeiguan in one fell swoop.

Zhenbeiguan and Yanmenguan have since become the two pillars of the northern border. If Yuan Meng wants to go south to the Central Plains, he must capture one of them, and neither of them is so easy to capture.

The Manchu Qing's cultivation and rejuvenation also allowed the Youzhou army to go south with confidence until the Huang Chao was completely wiped out.

In the fourth year of Zhongping (187), July [-].

Just over a month after the establishment of Yuanmeng and ten days after the establishment of the Manchu Dynasty, Xiang Yu and Zhu Yuanzhang finally defeated Fang La's rebels completely.

Fang La failed to break through the siege and was captured alive by Xiang Yu. Except for a small number of deaths, most of his army expressed their willingness to surrender, and was immediately assigned to the front line to resist the big Han.

As for Fang La himself, on the way to Chenliu, the capital of Ming Dynasty, he bit his tongue and committed suicide after leaving a thousand-word confession.

One of the princes who once dominated Jianghuai finally ended up regretting suicide, which is really embarrassing.

At this time, Liu Yao's Yangzhou coalition had already invaded Jianghuai, and Sun Jian had even taken the lead in capturing the important town of Hefei.

In order to block the enemy in the south, Zhu Yuanzhang and Xiang Yu divided their troops into two groups. Zhu Yuanzhang went to resist Liu Yao's Yangzhou coalition, while Xiang Yu led the main force to support Ming Emperor Zhang Sheng.

The momentum of the Sizhou Allied Forces is too strong. In addition to Li Yuanba, the 'best general in the world', there are also Yuwen Chengdu and Wu Yunzhao, the top ten generals in the general list, and Xiliang Iron Cavalry, the world's elite.

Although Zhang Sheng was not weaker than the Sizhou Allied Forces, the generals and soldiers of both sides were very different in combat power, so Zhang Sheng could only passively defend, and it was extremely difficult to defend.

Therefore, Xiang Yu must also go to support, because if he does not go, the East Route Army led by Zhang Sheng will really be unable to hold on.

In the fourth year of Zhongping, on July 28, Xiang Yu and Zhang Sheng joined forces.

When the Ming army saw Xiang Yu's return, their morale was boosted, and they were no longer afraid to avoid battle.

Early the next morning, Xiang Yu went to battle, and he faced off against Wu Tianci in the first battle, and he was killed in three rounds and fled.

Lu Zhi originally wanted Yuwencheng-du to cooperate with the Wu brothers, and the three teamed up to defeat Xiang Yu, but Yuwencheng-du directly refused.

After the defeat of the Wu Brothers, Yu Wencheng went out to single-handedly challenge Xiang Yu and fought with him for more than 200 rounds with all his strength, but unfortunately he was still defeated in the end.

After Yuwencheng-du was defeated, the Han army could only send Li Yuanba.

On the [-]st of August, under the attention of all the people, Xiang Yu and Li Yuanba fought again, and the battle was dark and dark.

The two sides fought for a day and a night, and finally ended in a draw.

After a lapse of more than a year, after being shot down by Li Yuanba, Xiang Yu regained the top with his own strength, and almost by himself, he reversed the battle situation of the Ming Army East Road.

On the seventh day of the eighth lunar month, at night, Xiang Yu once again led the Hundred Cavalry robbery camp.

Although this action was seen through by Li Shimin, Xiang Yu still used his excellent cavalry command ability to disrupt the Han camp and kill Han general Yu Wenzhiji. In the end, Xiang Yu was the only one who broke through.

After a series of setbacks, Lu Zhi, the leader of the Han army, eventually fell ill due to overwork.

At this time, Dong Zhuo, who was far away in Liangzhou, seized the opportunity and directly bypassed the court to appoint Li Shimin as the head coach.

At such a critical juncture, the imperial court did not dare to tear its face with the Liangzhou army, and could only acquiesce to Li Shimin as the main general, ready to speak after the elimination of the Yellow Turbans.

However, the court never expected that Li Shimin actually completely controlled the Sizhou coalition forces, and then Sizhou was also completely controlled by the Liang army.

After Li Shimin took over as coach, he not only changed Lu Zhi's previous tactics, but adopted a conservative strategy of switching to offense and defense.

Li Shimin, who was desperate for stability, wanted to hold off the main force of the Ming army and wait for the appearance of fighters.

Now the Ming army seems to have the upper hand, but in fact it seems to be walking on a tightrope. As long as one front line goes wrong, the whole line will collapse.

August [-]th.

Dou Jiande, who was defending the two counties and two countries in the southern part of Jizhou, was lured out by Han Xin's design, so he was forced to fight a small decisive battle with the Jizhou coalition.

In this battle, Han Xin personally led the army, and [-] Han troops faced off against [-] Ming troops, but the result was a great victory for the Han army.

Liu Heida, under Dou Jiande's command, fought several Han generals successively in this battle. In the end, he was stabbed by Zhang He under his horse when he was exhausted.

Even Dou Jiande himself was seriously injured and almost died in battle.

Of course, it was not easy for the Han army to win. Chen Yougui, Chen Youliang's younger brother, was killed by Liu Heida. So far, only one Chen Youren was left among Chen Youliang's three younger brothers.

Dou Jiande, who escaped with his life, finally gave up Anping County and could not defend himself.

However, due to the previous defeat, it had a great impact on the morale of the Ming army in Jizhou. Even if Dou Jiande insisted on defending, it would be difficult to prevent a large area of ​​the country from falling.

Seeing that the situation was getting tougher day by day, Dou Jiande was so anxious that his body, which had been seriously injured, eventually deteriorated, and he fell ill and fell unconscious.

Dou Jiande's life was hanging by a thread, and the Ming army in Jizhou lost its commander-in-chief, so he could only ask the Daming court for help.

After discussing with the advisors, Zhang Sheng decided to order Xiang Yu to stay in Yanzhou, and sent Fan Zeng to assist him in defending against Li Shimin, considering that Jizhou was related to the safety of the northern front, while he personally led the army to stabilize the battle situation in Jizhou.

With the arrival of Zhang Sheng and Zhang Liang, the Jizhou Ming army finally had the backbone, and with the addition of Yanzhou reinforcements and fierce generals, the situation in Jizhou was once again deadlocked.

In order to break the deadlock, Han Xin once again designed a plan to calculate the Ming army, but Zhang Liang saw through it all.

August 28.

Huang Chao personally led the army, set up an ambush on the way of Kong Rong's march, and defeated the army of [-] in Beihai.

The only fly in the ointment in this battle was that the Beihai generals Taishi Ci and Wu Anguo arrived in time and rescued Kong Rong at the critical moment, otherwise Kong Rong, the Beihai prefect would die.
