Chapter 44 War
In the days that followed, Yuan Wenshao led the cavalry to gallop back and forth with the current Zhou army, eating up all the small cavalry that had invaded the Great Zhou, and then led the cavalry into the territory of the Liao Kingdom, patrolling back and forth in the three cities of Zhuozhou, Gu'an, and Yizhou. He doesn't attack the city either, and he will attack whichever city sends troops to show up.

After a long time, Yeluxiu, the king of Liang, also led his army to fight Yuan Wenshao several times, but was defeated by Yuan Wenshao. Take the lead, while asking for help, while sticking to the city.

After several victories, the Zhou army gained momentum and asked Yuan Wenshao to advance to Youzhou. Youzhou is the heart of North China and Nanjing of the Liao Kingdom. The capture of Youzhou is of great significance to the recovery of several states in North China.

Yuan Wenshao did not send troops blindly. Now he only has cavalry under his command, which is not conducive to attacking the city. Moreover, Zhuozhou, Gu'an, and Yizhou have not been conquered, let alone attacking the hinterland of Youzhou. , Annihilate its reinforcements, and then slowly eat away at these three places, and it will not be too late to attack Youzhou by then.

At this time, Han Zhang in the capital city also fell into the scheme of Empress Dowager Cao, but fortunately, he also got the edict to confer King Shu, which was a loss for both sides. The good news is that they just defeated the enemy and did not attack the city, and the officials only rewarded and encouraged Yuan Wenshao to make persistent efforts. In fact, he did not report much hope. There has never been a victory or defeat, and there has never been a siege of the city, and the occasional occupation is quickly regained.

Then Yuan Wenshao ordered that General Wang Shuang, the defender of Mozhou, dispatched [-] infantry from Mozhou and Yingzhou, and [-] from Xiongzhou and Bazhou. Although the field battle is not as good as the cavalry of Daliao, but the siege equipment is excellent, and soon launched a fierce offensive against Zhuozhou. Seeing that Zhuozhou was in danger, Liang Wang Yeluxiu had no choice but to send a large army to attack Yuan Wenshao, who was defeated by Yuan Wenshao and fled to Youzhou in a hurry. Soon Yuan Wenshao led his army to capture Zhuozhou, Yizhou, and Gu'an.

At this time, the Liao Lord also reacted, pressed the pause button for attacking the Jurchen, and mobilized 30 troops to personally assist Youzhou. In addition to the original Youzhou defenders and the remnants of King Liang's troops, there were no less than 50 troops. Zhuozhou came.

Seeing that the Liao army was powerful, Yuan Wenshao selectively gave up Yizhou and Gu'an, and chose Zhuozhou, which had a stronger city, and concentrated all the infantry under the command of General Wang Shuang, a famous general who was good at defending the Great Zhou. , I believe that Zhuozhou can be defended with his ability.

But this is the worst plan. The so-called long-term defense will lose, Yuan Wenshao will give the Liao army a blow before he plans to defend the city.

Yuan Wenshao personally led the cavalry to meet the Liao army, fought and retreated, pretending to be defeated, and paralyzed the enemy.

At the same time, he ordered General Wang Shuang to lead an army of [-] to ambush in the dangerous place by the Zhuoshui River. The Liao Lord easily took back Yizhou and Gu'an, and easily defeated Yuan Wenshao's cavalry. He even reprimanded King Liang for being a waste, and led the army to march forward lightly.

When they approached Zhuozhou, they let the army cross the river without taking a break. Yuan Wenshao saw the right time and led the cavalry to charge. General Wang Shuang followed behind with the infantry and killed the Liao army. How many people are there in the Zhou army? The Zhou army was killed by a crowd of people. Some Liao troops retreated in panic while still in the water. There is a saying that the army was defeated. They also ran to the meeting, and all the Liao troops were retreating hastily, and there were not many counterattacks.

Yuan Wenshao did not expect that the Lord of Liao could be so careless. His original idea was just to attack part of the main force halfway. He did not expect that the whole army of Liao was overwhelming, and there was no division of troops at all. In fact, the Lord of Liao was a very happy person. The progress of the Jurchen battlefield is not going well, and they are reaping victories in Dazhou, so they advance rashly.

Yuan Wenshao didn't have time to think about it, so he took the lead and led the army to kill.

This battle lasted until the sky was dark, and Yuan Wenshao stopped advancing after he quickly chased to Youzhou, and ordered the army to count the results of the battle and gather the rout troops and supplies.

According to preliminary statistics, the Liao army had at least 30 casualties, and countless cattle and sheep were seized.

After this battle, the Lord of Liao was shocked, but left tens of thousands of remnant soldiers for Liang Wang Yeluxiu to stick to Youzhou, while he withdrew from the land of Youyan in a panic and returned to Shangjing.

At this time, it can be said that in the land of Youyan, the Great Zhou has already firmly grasped the advantage. Yuan Wenshao ordered all the guards in the Guannan area to stay behind and lead the army to the Youyan area to capture the city. It is necessary to give the left-behind soldiers a chance to make meritorious service, and on the other hand, report the victory to the imperial court, hoping that the imperial court can send some officials over in time to appease and govern the local people.

Seeing that the situation was over, the remaining cities in Youyan Land surrendered one after another before the army arrived, and some were recovered by the local Han people. In November, there was heavy snowfall, and Youzhou City, the next city in the whole territory, was still alone. It is in the hands of King Liang.

The King of Liang was also disheartened. Seeing that the imperial court had not sent troops for a long time, he knew that the imperial court had given up this land, committed suicide, and the remaining soldiers went to surrender directly to the city.

So far, the seven prefectures in North China have returned to the embrace of Dazhou after more than 200 years, and the passage to attack the other nine states in the west from the east has also been opened up. I believe that as long as a short rest, the west route army in the direction of Yanmenguan in Daizhou in the coming year will attack from east to west and recover the entire Yanyun The sixteen prefectures are not a problem, but this has nothing to do with Yuan Wenshao for the time being.

Because of his meritorious service in regaining the land of Youyan, he was conferred the title of General Hussars (the first rank), and the Duke of Yan, who was hereditary, was asked to return to Beijing to report on his duties. , Generals Wang Kai and General Zhang Li were also conferred uncles. The generals were very grateful to Yuan Wenshao. Without Yuan Wenshao, they would not have made such great achievements. They were very dissatisfied with the court's will and thought that this should not be the case at this time. To recall Yuan Wenshao, Yunzhou and other places should be recovered in one go.

Yuan Wenshao didn't care. In fact, Yuan Wenshao also understood that he was unlikely to lead the army again in the future. The Taizu of this dynasty hated himself for not recovering the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun. If you don't have the surname of Zhao, you can also be a king!"

A king with a different surname is not so easy to be. He just regained the land of Yanzhou. It is enough to confer the title of Duke. The officials recalled him to protect him to a certain extent. Yuan Wenshao is very free and easy, and leave the rest to others!
