Qu Yi never dreamed that a battle would wipe out his elite division of 800 heavy infantrymen.

I was extremely angry.

The eight hundred heavy infantry were the bargaining chips used in negotiations with Qin Qi after the surrender, and instantly there was nothing left.

On the surface, Qu Yi had 40,000 troops under his banner, but the only thing that could impress the Xiakou army was 800 heavy infantry.

The other arms in the Xiakou Army were pure rubbish in Qin Qi's eyes.

When Qu Yi proposed a battle with Xiakou's army, Zhao Yun, Fazheng and others discussed that eight hundred heavy infantry must be eliminated.

It was impossible to allow Qu Yi to control 800 heavy infantry.

After all, Qin Qi is not as sinister as Yuan Shao, and he kills his subordinates casually.

After the war broke out, Zhou Cang aimed hundreds of Qin crossbows at the heavy infantry under Qu Yi's banner and ignored other soldiers and horses.

Only by annihilating 800 heavy infantry would Qu Yi obediently give up resistance. Otherwise, Qu Yi would still have illusions.

As Qu Yi asked people to raise the white flag, it meant the complete recovery of Yuyang City and surrounding areas.

The Xiakou Army really looked down upon the surrendered soldiers and paid them traveling expenses so that they could go home and live a good life.

Originally, many of the new recruits came here because Yuan Shao captured the young men, but now the Xiakou army paid them travel expenses and allowed them to return home.

The surrendered soldiers were extremely excited.

After capturing Yuyang City, Zhao Yun's troops immediately attacked in all directions, advancing towards other areas of Youzhou and recovering cities one by one.

In order to ensure the smooth capture of Youzhou and force Yuan Shao to give up resistance and surrender to the Xiakou Army, Gao Shun's regiment also moved.

With the cooperation of the navy, Gaoshun's regiment boarded transport ships from Yanjin and Baima docks, crossed the Yellow River, and advanced towards Liyang.

Seeing the actions of Gao Shun's regiment, Yuan Shao of Jizhou had to deploy troops and horses to defend Jizhou, pretending that the rescue of Youzhou did not happen.

Yecheng City Lord’s Mansion:

Yuan Shao's life was really difficult during this period. Ever since Jiang Qian came, Yuan Shao has been extremely troubled.

I argue and argue with my subordinates every day, and no outcome can be negotiated.

"My lord, Xiakou Qinqi asked the Liaodong Army, Lusu Corps, and Gaoshun Corps to send troops to Youzhou and Jizhou. The situation is very dangerous."

Xu Youdao.

"My lord, the Gaoshun Corps stationed in Guandu must be sending troops to Jizhou as a feint attack, mainly the Zhao Yun Corps of Liaodong.

The Lusu Corps in Pingyuan attacked Youzhou. Judging from the actions of the Xiakou Army, the Gaoshun Corps wanted to contain our Jizhou soldiers and horses.

Let us not send troops to reinforce Youzhou. Facing the attack of two corps, even though Youzhou has nearly 200,000 troops, it is estimated that the chance of victory is not good."

Xu You added.

In fact, now that the war has started, many civil and military officials under Yuan Shao's tent understand that they cannot stop the Xiakou army from unifying the world.

The best outcome is to surrender and still reap the benefits.

"Lord, we can consider Mr. Jiang Gan's suggestion. Qin Qi is relatively kind, unlike other princes who will kill him if caught."

Chen Lin said.

Brothers Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao looked at Chen Lin with murderous intent in their eyes, especially Yuan Shu, whose face suddenly darkened.

"Benchu, you don't want to be deceived by Kong Zhang's words. Think about it, our Yuan family and that kid Qin Qi,

But there have been grievances for many years. Once you surrender, do you think Qin Qi will let you go? Don't listen to outsiders' deception."

Yuan Shudao.

Yuan Shao was slightly startled after hearing this!

I understand in my heart that there is actually no conflict between the Yuan family and Qin Qi. The key is that Yuan Shu provokes Qin Qi for no reason.

The Yuan family was also arrogant at the time and did not take Qin Qi seriously.

No matter Yuan Shao, Yuan Feng or Yuan Wei, they all felt that Qin Qi was a poor scholar with no background.

As a result, Yuan Shu and Qin Qi had a conflict, but Yuan Feng and Yuan Wei didn't mind, including Yuan Shao.

In addition, at that time, the Yuan family was indeed extremely powerful and no one dared to offend them.

It was not until Qin Qi took office as the governor of Xiakou that a series of things she did came out, which attracted the attention of Yuan Feng and other Yuan family members.

By the time Yuan Feng and Yuan Wei discovered the problem, it was already too late. Qin Qi had a heated fight with the emperor.

The emperor needs a lot of evidence from Qin Qi to check and balance the Yuan family, so that the important ministers in the court can compromise so that the emperor's proposal can be passed.

In that case, the emperor would definitely protect Qin Qi.

Coupled with the effect of the small white wine in Qin Qi's hand.

You know, Emperor Liu Hong was a drunkard and a womanizer. He was fond of wine and beautiful women. He did many unbelievable things in the palace.

In addition, Qin Qi resettled a large number of victims and refugees in the Xiakou area, which completely surprised the emperor.

Resettlement of disaster victims and refugees has brought Qin Qi a good reputation, and the emperor will definitely be happy if she can send some white wine at the right time.

Of course, the world is about to be unified. Under such circumstances, Qin Qi really has no intention of dealing with the two brothers Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao.

To put it simply, Qin Qi's situation is different at this time. He only sees the world and the people of the Central Plains, and he doesn't care about Yuan Shu's life or death at all.

"My lord, what Mr. Kong Zhang said is also a way out. Xiakou Qinqi will not care so much. Many princes were destroyed, but they were not all well settled, and they were not punished or tried."

Xun Chen said.

Yuan Shao has a big head!

I can't make up my mind.

Boom, boom, boom!

"Report!"

The ordering soldier shouted loudly from outside the tent.

"Come in."

Yuan Shaodao.

"Reporting to my lord, You Beiping was attacked by the Liaodong Army. They used catapults, Qin crossbows and other heavy siege equipment.

General Yan asked me to ask my lord to send troops to reinforce Youbeiping, otherwise Youbeiping will fall in a short time."

Xiao Bing said.

"How many soldiers and horses did the Liaodong Army dispatch?"

Yuan Shaodao.

"Three cavalry divisions and one infantry division, a total of more than 80,000 people."

Xiao Bing said.

What!

Eighty thousand steps and riding!

How to resist this!

Especially in field battles, a cavalry division in Liaodong can sweep away 100,000 infantrymen, not to mention the common people who have just put down their hoes.

The military officials in Yuan Shao's tent were extremely shocked.

Yuan Shao accepted the letter handed over by Xiao Bing, his face became more and more gloomy, and his face was covered with black lines.

Angry!

Why does the Liaodong Army have so many soldiers and horses?

It’s unscientific!

"The Liaodong Army really dispatched 80,000 infantry and cavalry?"

Xu Youdao.

"I only saw that there were Liaodong cavalry and infantry under the city wall. It looked like they were more or less."

Xiao Bing said.

Yuan Shao handed Yan Lianglai's letter to his subordinates for inspection.

Each one of them stopped talking after seeing it.

"My lord, it seems that Youzhou cannot be defended. We cannot waste a large number of soldiers on Youzhou. It is better to defend Jizhou wholeheartedly."

Meet Jidao.

Yuan Shao was extremely angry.

If you give up Youzhou, why bother fighting Gongsun Zan to the death?

Yuan Shao seems to have forgotten that the quarrel with Gongsun Zan was that Yuan Shao did not respect his credibility, went back on his word, and used Gongsun Zan as a spearman.

It's a good promise, as long as Gongsun Zan sends troops to press against Jizhou, the two will divide Jizhou equally, and finally Yuan Shao will get the entire Jizhou, and Gongsun Zan's work will be in vain.

"At the beginning, we had an army of 500,000 people, and we could rely on the city to fight the Xiakou army decisively."

Yuan Shudao.

The counselors under Yuan Shao's tent all despised him.

What are you going to do with the Xiakou Army for a decisive battle?

What an idiot!
