The Liaodong Iron Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 259 Worse News

Jiang Yiqu was seriously injured and retreated, and Dongying was almost completely occupied by the Yellow Turban Army.The senior cadre who got the news on the way was very anxious at the moment, and led the assembled soldiers to run all the way.

"Where is Jiang Yiqu?" Looking at the retreating Jiang Yiqu's personal guards ahead, Gao Gan shouted.

"General Jiang was seriously injured and comatose!" Hearing Gao Gan's voice, the defeated Yuan Jun finally had a backbone.

Gao Gan was quite talented, he was originally from the Gao family of Chenliu, and his mother was Yuan Feng's daughter and Yuan Shao's sister, so he was considered a high-ranking figure in the Yuan army.

Looking at Jiang Yiqu, who was unconscious on horseback, Gao Gan knew that he had encountered a difficult problem today.In terms of martial arts, Jiang Yiqu is no better than himself, but he is not something that ordinary yellow scarf bandits can defeat.

"My sons and daughters, Dongying is the place where our army gathers food! The Yellow Turban bandits are nothing to be afraid of! If you don't want to starve to death, you can take back Dongying!" Gao Gan raised his spear and looked at the rout soldiers who were gradually gathering. Said.

After finishing his speech, Gao Gan took the lead and rushed towards Dongying, and the guards behind him did not dare to be careless and immediately patted their horses to follow.The general is the courage of the soldiers, and with the high-ranking cadres as an example, Yuan Jun's soldiers and shouters killed them back.

"Quick, quick, carry as much as you can!" Guan Hai yelled loudly while riding on the horse.

Although the Yellow Turban Army had an advantage in numbers and captured the food storage area at this moment, Guan Hai knew in his heart that once Yuan Jun came to his senses, the hungry and well-fed rioters under him were no match for him.

"Kill!" Yuan Jun's shout of killing broke through the night, Guan Hai looked for his reputation, and countless torches were rushing towards him.

"Prepare to light the fire, block the road, and retreat the whole army!" Although he won a temporary victory, Guan Hai was not dazzled, and immediately issued a general order to retreat!
"Where are the thieves running away!" Gao Gan rushed to the front and shouted when he found that the Yellow Turban Army had begun to retreat.

Following the order of General Guan Hai, some Yellow Turban soldiers scattered the kerosene that had been prepared, and a small number of grain trucks that did not arrive and were transported away were retreated to the ground in a haphazard manner.

Seeing Yuan Jun getting closer, Guan Hai snatched the torch from the personal guard and gave Gao Gan a sneering look, before throwing it on the grain truck beside him.In an instant, the fire raged, and a long fire dragon blocked Yuan Jun's way.

"Hahahaha, withdraw!" Guan Hai laughed wildly, and then the Yellow Turban Army leading the rear gradually disappeared into the night.

"Firefighting, why are you still standing there? Quickly control the fire!" Blocked by the fire, Gao Gan immediately ordered.

Fortunately, the time of the Yellow Turban Army is limited, and only a part of the food and grass ignited by the fire can be rescued now.Two hours later, the sky was getting brighter, and the officers and men of the Yuan army under the leadership of Gao Gan were staggering to and fro. Although the fire was fierce, they managed to save some food and grass.

"General, drink some water!" Gao Gan's personal guard said holding a leather water bag.

After receiving the water bag, Gao Gan took a few gulps, then took off his helmet and poured all the remaining water on top of his head.A gust of wind blew in, and Gao Gan felt a burst of chills, which made him wake up a lot.

"Ah!" After a long sigh, Gao Gan decided to send the news to Yuan Shao immediately.

In Jizhou Fanyang, Yuan Shao's mood has improved a lot in recent days, and of course Chunyu Qiong has contributed the most to this.Now we only need to wait for the Bohai reinforcements and food and grass to arrive, and then we can send troops to attack Ye County immediately.Counting the time, reinforcements from Bohai should arrive soon.

"Report! General Gao Gan urgently reports!" Yiming's personal guard knelt down in front of Yuan Shao holding a piece of brocade silk in both hands.

"Hahaha, generals, the high-ranking officials will arrive soon with their troops, and the time has come to attack Yecheng!" Yuan Shao, who was in a trance, got up and said with a smile when he heard the word "high-ranking officials".

Yuan Shao opened the brocade and looked at it carefully.All the generals present are also staring at Yuan Shao closely, hoping to get an affirmative answer.
"Ah!!! Heavenly Yellow Turban bandits!" Yuan Shao roared suddenly, threw the brocade in his hand to the ground violently, and then stomped his feet fiercely.

"My lord?" Guo Tu asked at the side immediately. At this moment, Yuan Shao's face was full of ferocity, and his mouth was trembling, obviously extremely angry.

Xu You stepped forward quickly, picked up the brocade and looked at it carefully!In an instant, Xu You's face changed drastically, and only then did everyone present realize the seriousness of the situation.

"Ah!" Xu You sighed and handed the brocade to Guo Tu, then fell into deep thought.

"Mr. Xu, what happened?" Yan Liang asked at the side.

"General Gao Gan was attacked by the Yellow Turban Army at the junction of Qingzhou and Yanzhou, and most of the food and grass were lost!" Xu You shook his head, picked up the wine cup in front of him and drank it down.

"Hiss!" Yan Liang gasped.

Yan Liang is well aware of Gao Gan's martial arts and ability to command troops, ordinary thieves will never be his opponents, how could he be so careless!
"My lord, our army should march immediately and strive to capture Yecheng as soon as possible! The food and grass raised in recent days can last for a while." Guo Tu advised Yuan Shao after reading the brocade silk.

"It's easier said than done to capture it as soon as possible!" Yuan Shao sighed as he sat down and shook his hands.

Although Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Chun Yuqiong were in a hurry, they were not good at these troublesome things.For a moment, the entire big tent fell into silence.

"Master, why don't you forget General Gao Lan!" Xu You finally spoke after a moment of contemplation!

"What does Ziyuan mean?" Yuan Shao asked in surprise.

"General Gao Lan confronted our army, was defeated by the lord, and returned to Yecheng, after that," Xu You said slowly.

Hearing this, Yuan Shao's eyes lit up, and he became energetic immediately.Xu You's meaning couldn't be more clear, soldiers never tire of cheating!In recent days, Gao Lan has been dividing his troops into camps, forming a confrontation with himself. Although there is no large-scale attack, "small-scale conflicts" continue. Yuan Shao has reason to believe that Han Fu is still kept in the dark at this moment .

"Come on, hurry up and invite General Gao Lan to discuss matters!" Yuan Shao ordered immediately after thinking through everything.

Seeing that his opinion was adopted, Xu You glanced at Guo Tu provocatively.After a stick of incense, Gao Lan walked in quickly.

"See my lord!" Gao Lan bowed to Yuan Shao.

After half an hour, everyone brainstormed, and then Gao Lan returned to the camp ecstatically. The first effort to capture Yecheng this time will definitely not escape.

In Jixian County, Youzhou, the Youzhou army that had been preparing for several days had already assembled, and now they were waiting for Huo Yu's order to go south to Jizhou.

"Gongda, Zhicai, I'm leaving now, Youzhou, please!" Huo Yu bowed to Xun You.

"My lord, rest assured, Zhicai and I will guard Youzhou well!" Xun You replied politely.

"Don't worry, my lord, everything is in order!" Xi Zhicai replied with a bow.

In mid-April 191 AD, Mu Huoyu of Youzhou led 4 cavalry to the south at the request of Han Fu of Jizhou.As the saying goes, it is easier to invite God than to send God away, but Han Fu didn't realize it at all!
