Chapter 89

You Province (Youzhou).

Gongsun Zan's army.

"Hahaha!

Gongsun Zan laughed when he got the news.

"Yuan Benchu and Han Ziyu are fighting, and I should sit quietly on the mountain and watch the fight between the tigers."

For Gongsun Zan, it would be unwise to go against Han Yu again at this time.

Because, once Yuan Shao completely eliminates Han Yu and Han Fu, he will become the true ruler of Jizhou.

At that time, Yuan Shao will definitely send troops to Youzhou, and at that time, with a great victorious force and a strong Jizhou army, this will be the end of Gongsun Zan and the Gongsun family in Youzhou.

Immediately, Gongsun Zan arranged for the troop withdrawal and handed the stage over to Han Yu and Yuan Shao.

Even though the other Provinces and Commanderies did not share Gongsun Zan's behavior of taking advantage of opponents, they were still extremely shocked.

The last war that took place was when the eighteen routes Warlord fought against Dong Zhuo.

Only a few months had passed, and the local Warlords had started another war.

This war completely shook the authority of the ruler of the Han Dynasty Imperial Court.

The insightful people have formed a consensus and concluded that the Han Dynasty era was not far from being completely destroyed.

Dong Zhuo, who had moved the capital, Cao Cao who was in Dong, Kong Rong in Beihai, and Liu Bei who was rising, all witnessed this war.

They also want to see how prodigy Han Yu (Ziyu), who stood out in the war against Dong Zhuo, who stood out in the battle against Heishan, and how far he can go in this war.

There were people who sighed in pity, feeling that a young general who was capable of both literature and martial arts would soon wither away like a flash.

For example, Cao Cao, although in the battle against Dong Zhuo got an accident, while Han Yu, on the other hand, got good achievements, nevertheless this did not affect Cao Cao's appreciation of Han Yu in both civil and military.

There are people clapping.

War! War!

The world is constantly in chaos, and only in times of trouble like these will great heroes emerge.

Another example is when Liu Bei fought in the war against Dong Zhuo, Han Yu robbed these three brothers of prestige, and they lost their chance to rise at that time.

There are also those who despise these warlords, who do not care about the imperial court, who ignore the majesty of the imperial court and start a war recklessly. Wherever the imperial court and the emperor are, they should respect his majesty. That is why it is best to let these entire Warlords die!

Like the courtiers of the ancient Han, they deeply regretted the loss of the authority of the Han Dynasty, but they had no choice but to roar in their incompetence.

In short, no one was optimistic that Han Yu could win the war.

…

Zhongshan Commandery.

Anguo County.

After Han Yu left, Zhao Yun and Yu Jin organized troops, summoned the available Zhongshan troops, and went to the junction of Hejian and Anping to set up a defense.

However, the troops available in Zhongshan Commandery are only less than 2,000, and Zhao Yun is very worried about this.

Wen Chou has an army of more than 5,000 people, and all of them are elites from the Bohai Sea.

Later, at Boye, Zhao Yun encountered Wen Chou's Army.

When Zhao Yun fought Wen Chou for the first time, he felt his soldiers shaken. He knew that he couldn't fight with Wen Chou for a long time, otherwise, his army might collapse completely.

By then, without Han Yu's support, Zhongshan Commandery would be taken over.

As a last-ditch effort, Zhao Yun retreated to Anguo County.

Anguo County is also the last barrier of Zhongshan Commandery.

After Zhao Yun withdrew to Anguo County, after inspecting the city's defenses, his brows furrowed.

The city defense of Anguo County is far inferior to Zhending County. Many of the low city walls had fallen, and it was impossible to stop Wen Chou's army.

After Zhao Yun returned to the county office, he found the local magistrate and inspected the city's defenses with Yu Jin to find ways to fight the enemy.

Walking to the Hengshui riverside, Zhao Yun pondered as he looked at the meandering Hengshui river.

The Hengshui River flows all the way to Beiping, all the way to Quyang County, and almost all of Hebei.

It's also currently flood season.

Immediately Zhao Yun had an idea, and Yu Jin who was looking at his face realized it as well.

Let us talk about the pros and cons of this plan.

...

An elite troop of more than 5,000 people quickly marched toward Anguo.

Wen Chou did not mind carelessly entering Zhongshan this time. In his heart, Zhongshan was already in his pocket.

"Master Yuan sent me to fight in Zhongshan, which is really superfluous, and the second son is also very useless and was killed in the hands of a brat."

It was clear that Wen Chou was aware of the news of Yuan Xi's death.

After he swiftly defeated Zhao Yun at Boye, he had become even more reckless.

"People say that Zhao Yun is very strong. I cannot see how those three people can fight against Lu Bu. I seem to be enough to face Lu Bu alone."

Wen Chou's plan is to get Zhongshan tonight and use Zhao Yun's head to show his services to Yuan Shao tomorrow.

Immediately, the army was urged to speed up the march.

On the Hengshui riverside, a news report came to the army to report.

"Report to the General, the front has reached Hengshui River, but the bridge has been burned, and there is currently no bridge to cross the river."

Wen Chou brought people over to check the situation.

Sure enough, all the floating bridges in Hengshui that were visible had been burnt to the ground, and the flames that were not extinguished were still visible.

Seeing this, Wen Chou solidified his opinion of Zhao Yun.

Because Wen Chou saw that currently, the river was only knee-deep.

Burn the bridge... what a fart plan!

Then Wen Chou ordered:

"All soldiers, this general has checked, This River is only knee deep and the river is less than ten feet. It seems that Zhao Zilong has nothing to do, and he just wants to delay some time."

"Everyone goes to the river, cross the river swiftly, and take Zhongshan Commandery today, all soldiers can loot at will! Military discipline can be stretched..."

When the soldiers heard Wen Chou's words, they shouted loudly, no longer in formation, they swarmed over and crossed the river barefoot.

For a time, the river was filled with soldiers.

Wen Chou saw that nearly a third of the army had crossed the river. He laughed, rolled up his trouser, and prepared to cross the river.

..

Suddenly...

BOOM! BOOM!

What's that sound?

Wen Chou looked all around and saw nothing!

Then in the upper reaches of the river, a huge wave was seen crashing, and then the big river overflowed.

Wen Chou quickly returned to the side after a few brisk walks.

I'm done for!!

Looking at the river, the soldiers who were still on the river were washed away one by one in the violent flood, and there was a call for help.

"Help...!!"

Only the soldiers who were relatively close to the riverbank returned to the riverside and manage to save their lives.

Looking across the river, more than 1,000 people who crossed the river were surrounded by an army, and the leader was Zhao Yun on his white horse and silver spear.

The army that managed to cross the river was in chaos, and then it was clear to the naked eye that they were all slaughtered and killed by Zhao Yun's army, and suffered heavy losses.

In addition, those who are forced to return to the river cannot escape the fate of flooding.

The battle is set.

Zhao Yun immediately raised his spear and laughed at Wen Chou across.

"General Wen Chou, are you satisfied with my gift?!"

The soldiers behind him laughed as well.

Wen Chou's face was gloomy, his eyes were red, and he said nothing.

He had to retreat with less than a thousand troops remaining. Fighting Zhao Yun again at this time would only be humiliating himself.

It turned out that after Zhao Yun and Yu Jin checked on both sides of the Hengshui River, he found that the local residents had dug a 4.3-meter-high embankment upstream as a source of water, mainly for the convenience of the local farmers to water their fields.

Zhao Yun had an idea and asked the soldiers to block the embankment and release the water as Wen Chou's army crossed the river, overwhelming Wen Chou's army with floods.

In fact, there is a great deal of uncertainty in this strategy.

If Wen Chou let the soldiers build the bridge, his plan would fail. And as long as Wen Chou carefully inspected the river and found any signs of lowering the water, his plan would also fail.

However, Wen Chou looked down on the enemy and was quite reckless. Therefore, Zhao Yun gave Wen Chou's army a flood and won.

This means that humans can plan things to happen, and these things happen by the will of heaven.

After Wen Chou retreated, Zhao Yun's face turned from bright to cloudy.

Because he got two messages.

One is that Guo Jia has brought a large army to Zhongshan and is about to arrive, which is good news.

However, the second news made him gloomy.

Yuan Shao has gathered nearly a hundred thousand soldiers from the four Commanderies and is about to besiege Zhongshan Commandery.
