    Xianbei invaded, Yanzhao was shaken, and the Youzhou army was ordered by Governor Cao Yuan to gather urgently at Jicheng.

    But the Hulu cavalry advanced so fast that there were no mountains to stop them. As soon as they entered the plains, they invaded like fire. The forward Qingqi troops arrived at Jicheng day and night.

    Jicheng has entered a state of war readiness.

    In Cao Yuan's mansion, the civil and military staff discussed the war and defense, each holding their own opinions.

    Xu Shu dissuaded him from going to war.  It is believed that the Xianbei people are brave and capable of great victory, and the general's southern expedition has originally mobilized elite troops from various tribes in Hebei. Now the troops in Hebei are mixed with many surrendered soldiers. The morale and morale of the troops are worrying. They cannot rush into battle. It is better to  Hold on to the city and wait for the opportunity.

    However, some generals advocated that the Youzhou armies gathered together, and the Xianbei people were arrogant and arrogant. It was time to give them a head-on blow and annihilate them. Otherwise, they would let the tigers return to the mountains and let the Hu cavalry repeatedly harass them and come and go like the wind. I don¡¯t know when and where they would be able to do it.  Defeat Kebineng.

    Cao Yuan patiently listened to the opinions of the war and defense factions, but as the commander-in-chief of Youzhou's military affairs, he was currently thinking more about his own political situation.

    He led troops to attack Hebei. He was eager for success, killed a lot, and already made many enemies. Most of the memorials from Hebei counties and counties impeaching him for committing military plunder were suppressed by the general in the name of military urgency, and were awarded to the governor of Youzhou.  military responsibilities.

    Nowadays, I heard that the general's southern expedition was unfavorable and he was facing a confrontation with the Sun and Liu allied forces. Pei Wan had already made a mistake on the northern border and his entire army was wiped out. If he could not make a quick victory and defeat Ke Bineng, the situation in the northern border would be left to chance.  Corruption, then when the general returns to the army, I am afraid that this guilt will become the last straw that crushes him.

    Therefore, after careful consideration, Cao Yuan decided to lead his army to fight in person.

    During the war, Cao Yuan gathered 30,000 Han and Hu troops in Youzhou and reinforcements from Jizhou. Kebi Neng came with the momentum of a great victory. He also had nearly 30,000 infantry and cavalry from Xianbei and Zahu under his command. The strength of both sides was evenly matched.  The situation is tense, and only one battle will determine the outcome.

    When Cao Yuan first fought, he was quite cautious and led his troops to fight in formation relying on the city wall.  Despite multiple rounds of charges by the Xianbei infantry and cavalry, their positions remained motionless. When the Xianbei people's offensive stopped, they launched a counterattack with two winged cavalry. In one fell swoop, they defeated the menacing Kebi Neng and retreated, giving up the attack on Jixian.

    However, in the second battle, the Youzhou generals who took the initiative to fight again defeated the Xianbei Hu cavalry, and pursued them with great momentum. As a result, they were ambushed by the Xianbei people during the pursuit.  Kebineng led his Xianbei warriors to break out of the formation and cut the pursuing Cao Yuan army into two sections. Wuhuan Yi, who had been defeated by Kebineng before, was instantly defeated and collapsed. Cao Yuan's elite troops fought to the death, but they were defeated.  After a hard fight, Cao Yuan was defeated by Ke Bineng. Cao Yuan fell off his horse and was injured. He fled back to Jicheng in embarrassment with the help of his generals who desperately rescued him.

    After this battle, Cao Yuan's tribe firmly defended Jixian County and did not dare to fight again.  Kebineng's Hu Qi had no fear in the north, and went all over Hebei and You, plundering and plundering. People all over Hebei were panicked, and there was an endless stream of people fleeing the disaster.

    At the same time, Yan Xing's army was still in the south.  Shi Yanshuo, the governor of the Liu Prefecture, had no choice but to issue a temporary order after public discussion, ordering Yan Xing, who was guarding the Central Plains, to lead his army north to rescue Cao Yuan. At the same time, he mobilized more than 10,000 troops from Guanzhong, led by veteran general Qu Yi, and rushed to Hebei via Hedong to join Yan.  Raise the army and retreat the enemy.

    This is a helpless move.  Yan Xing had no experience in commanding a large army to fight alone, but he was a trusted relative of the general. In this chaotic situation, people's hearts were divided, and the general led a group of elite soldiers to march south, he could only send him, who was politically reliable.  He went to an important position, and he led the troops and horses north to quell the chaos and rush to help.

    ??And the veteran general Qu Yi was a general who surrendered from Hebei, and was not a direct descendant of the general. After the pacification of Hebei, the general's government deliberately kept it secret. Therefore, Qu Yi was not allowed to lead the army in the pacification of the Central Plains and the southern expedition.

    However, there were no unscrupulous generals available in this emergency, so he could only appoint Qu Yi to fight in the critical moment. Yan Shou wanted to use his own people to lead the troops, but his subordinates Yan Qian, Li Yi and others were not generals. Rushing to appoint him to a big job would not only lead to  The tragic disaster of the defeated army and killing generals may also affect the leader himself, so he took the next best option and used Qu Yi, a veteran general who did not belong to each faction.

    The left-behind staff of the Ba Mansion suggested dispatching supervisory troops to the army, but Yan Shou considered that most of the sons of the Quyi tribe came from the generals to march south, and the majority of the troops he led this time were descendants of Guanzhong, so he followed the principle of "do not use suspects"  He resolutely rejected any objections and gave the veteran general Qu Yi full authority to use troops.

    "The two lines of rescue troops came north from the Central Plains, and set off from Guanzhong. One was the main force and the other was a partial division. After the troops were sent out, the results achieved were completely opposite to everyone's expectations.

    After Yan Xing led his army across the river and headed north, he heard that Tian Yin, an old official of the Yuan family in Hejian, had raised a flag in Hebei and supported Yuan Shao's youngest son Yuan Mai. He joined forces with Xianbei who invaded Hebei and sought cooperation with local scholars and people, and then went on to attack Bohai, Zhongshan, Julu, etc.  Rebellions appear one after another in the capitalIn response, he was shocked and worried that he would be defeated by Xianbei and the rebels if he rashly went north, so he temporarily stopped in the north of Wei County and did not go north for rescue. He wanted to wait for Qu Yi and other troops to gather before discussing going north.

    And Qu Yi led his army across the river from Guanzhong into Hedong County. When he saw the envoy sent by Yan Xing and heard Yan Xing's military deployment, he immediately sighed indignantly and privately said to the generals from Guanzhong:

    "You've misled the country's affairs!"

    In his opinion, although Yan Xing was given an important task despite being a relative of the general, his talents are really mediocre. He looks forward and backward before the battle. If he is allowed to command the rescue, he is afraid that when Jicheng falls, the rescue troops may not be able to enter the underworld.  within the state.

    So Qu Yi decided to lead his troops to act alone. Instead of going to Wei County to join Yan Xing's troops, he went out of Jingxing via Taiyuan and detoured between the rebels and Xianbei people, catching them off guard.

    This veteran has a tough style and extraordinary execution ability. He has managed the soldiers in Guanzhong under his command obediently during the march these days. This time he acted alone. He claimed that he received the military order to rush to aid Youzhou. Since Yan Xing and his army were hesitant to advance.  , then there is no need for him to rush to join Yan Xing, but to drive directly to You Yan.

    Qu Yi did not use troops according to common sense. Instead of going to Wei County, he went north to Taiyuan and entered Hebei from Jingxing. Along the way, he used the military order of the General's Office to collect military supplies and overstepped his authority in the name of "the general is away, and the emperor's orders will not be obeyed."  Raise the soldiers and spread the idea among the army that this battle can turn things around and make meritorious deeds, which stimulates the soldiers under his command in Guanzhong to cry out for war, while the impeachment of local counties and counties is unanimously forgotten.

    As a result, as soon as the army forward came out of Jingxingkou, the scouts in front detected a large group of Xianbei cavalry and rebels coming.

    The lieutenant generals suddenly became uneasy. They were chasing the stars and the moon all the way, just believing the words of the veteran general Qu Yi. However, they did not expect that as soon as they came out of Jingxing, they were exhausted and had no time to rest, and before the follow-up troops arrived, there was a large wave of enemy troops.  Rushing towards him with great momentum.

    Veteran general Qu Yi is still unhurried at this time. He has experienced hundreds of battles and passed by the edge of life and death countless times. Although the current enemy situation was not what he expected, it actually aroused his fighting spirit even more.

    He threw his helmet to the ground, revealing his gray head. He stood in front of the formation, letting the soldiers in the front see the white hair that was particularly conspicuous in the cold wind. He loudly encouraged the soldiers to face the enemy and take the lead bravely.

    "I joined the army and fought for decades. The Wuhuan, Xiongnu, Heishan, and Baima led their troops to defeat the countless enemies of the Hu and Han who used to cross the northern border. They must be defeated and captured. Where can I rely on?"  There is no other strategy for those who fight, but courage. In this battle, we should defeat the small enemy first, and then fight Kebineng to save Jicheng. All the kings are strong men in the pass, rushing to rescue all the way, and there will be no shortage of military supplies along the way.  I have no food, clothing, or armor left, so I ask, can I fight today?"

    "Fight! Fight! Fight¡ª¡ª"

    It has to be said that the veteran general Qu Yi's ability in leading troops in battle is indeed extraordinary. He stimulated the soldiers in Guanzhong to scream and scream with high morale. Taking advantage of this rising vigor, he directly faced the enemy in front of him.

    It turned out that the exiled scholar Wang Ling under Ke Bineng was also a wise man and was familiar with the mountains and terrain of the northern border. Although he learned that the Xiliang army was blocked by the rebels in Wei County and could not advance, he still considered the enemy in Shanxi.  So they asked the Xianbei cavalry from Ke Bineng and rushed to Jingxingkou with the temporarily gathered Hebei rebels. They happened to run into the veteran general Qu Yi who was leading the troops.

    The two armies met on a narrow road and engaged in a battle. Wang Ling was shocked by the outcome. He thought that there were not many enemies coming from far away and his troops were tired. However, he never expected that he could easily defeat the mob with his majestic momentum and halberds.  Seeing that the situation was not good, the Hebei rebels and Xianbei cavalry were unwilling to fight to the death. They quickly grabbed Wang Ling and made an emergency retreat, retreating to the direction of Jicheng to join Kebineng's army.

    After this battle, Qu Yi took advantage of the situation and advanced, winning three battles and three victories. He relied on the Taihang Mountains in the west to move northward. The reinforcements were huge, and the rebels scattered and fled along the way.

    It happened that Kebi was unable to attack Jicheng, which Cao Yuan and Xu Shu were defending, and he had to report that the siege army in the rear was defeated by Tian Yu of Macheng, so he had to withdraw his troops hastily and gave up the idea of ????supporting Yuan Mai to rule Hebei in the first battle.

    By this time, Yan Xing's counter-rebellion army was belatedly arriving, and successfully defeated Tian Yin and other rebels in Hebei with a heavy blow, and rescued Youzhou from the siege of Jicheng.

    However, after the storm in the north, the prospects for the southern expedition also became bleak.

    ¡€¡€¡€

    Huarong said, the cold wind is like a knife.

    Although the retreating Northern Army still maintained order, there was a vague atmosphere of decline everywhere.

    General Yan Xing finally issued the order to withdraw his troops after learning many bad news such as Soochow was flooded and Xianbei invaded.

    Jia Xu was old. With the help of his servants, he stretched his body before boarding the general's carriage.

    "Back then, Emperor Guangwu of Longyou and Bashu were still undecided, and only one Cen Peng was able to pacify the south of the Yangtze River. Now that the world has been settled, and the whole country is marching south, and the troops are stationed at Chibi, why do Wen He think the two are so far away?"

    Without much greeting, General Yan Xing threw a big problem to Jia Xu.

    Without much greeting, General Yan Xing threw a big problem to Jia Xu.
