The most powerful general in the Three Kingdoms

The biggest difference between Yuan Shao and Zhou Cheng is their decision-making on major issues.

Yuan Shao was always indecisive and did great things without sacrificing his own life.

This resulted in being in a passive state on the frontal battlefield.

However, even if Tian Feng, Ju Shou and others knew about Yuan Shao's shortcomings, they could not change Yuan Shao.

As counselors, all they can do is give suggestions to Yuan Shao and advise them to the death, that's all.

……

Mid-November 196 AD.

The sky in Bingzhou is filled with snowflakes.

Snow has covered the road. Looking around, it is white and slightly desolate.

Zhou Cheng continued to march towards Taiyuan.

When Dong Zhaoxin surrendered, he did not follow Zhang Yang to the northern part of Bingzhou, but stayed in the death battle camp.

The current situation on the battlefield is already under Zhou Cheng's control.

Yuan Shao's defeat was only a matter of time.

Of course, from beginning to end, Zhou Cheng never took Yuan Shao seriously.

Because Yuan Shao didn't have the courage to make a surprise attack, let alone the courage to make a desperate move.

At this time, another scout came running back on horseback

A scout needs to travel hundreds of miles a day.

Fortunately, one person has two horses, and fortunately there are three people in a group, so that the horsepower can be guaranteed.

The scout got off his horse and came to Xu Fang. After reporting to Xu Fang, he hurried away again.

Xu Fang then rode to Zhou Cheng's side and said:"My lord, Yuan Shao refused to allow Lu Bu to enter Jinyang, so Lu Bu led his army to Pingtao."

Taiyuan County governs Jinyang.

The county includes Jinyang, Yuci, Yangyi, Qixian, Zhongdu, Wuxian, Jiexiu, Pingtao, Daling, Zishi, Langmeng, Yuxian, Yangqu, Luhui and Jingling. A total of fifteen counties.

Compared with other counties in Bingzhou, the population of Taiyuan County is relatively dense.

However, because of Zhou Cheng's imminent arrival, the people in Taiyuan County fled to Yongzhou one after another.

Zhou Cheng smiled and said:"Lu Bu is now a stray wild dog."

"Hahaha……"

Jia Xu, Li Ru, Dian Wei and others laughed.

Zhou Cheng said:"Order the whole army to advance slowly, and send cavalry to plunder along the way to supplement the food and grass needed by our army."

Zhou Cheng is now deep into Bingzhou. In order to solve the long problem, plundering is indispensable.

Of course, looting is bad for your reputation.

However, for Zhou Cheng, fame is not necessary. Anyway, no matter what he does, everyone in the world will scold him.

Therefore, it is better to be open and aboveboard, rob when necessary, and rob when necessary

……

When they heard that the Zhou army was approaching and the counties and counties in Bingzhou had not yet been occupied, the people immediately ran away on the road.

Some followed behind the wealthy families, and under the protection of the tribesmen and local braves, the team could not see the end at a glance.

Most of them escaped from Shangdang County.

The Xu family in Lu County is one of the larger ones.

The Xu family's clan population in Lu County exceeds 20,000.

Before Huguan was breached, Mrs. Xu realized that the situation was not good and took her family to Yongzhou.

Along the way, more and more people joined the fleeing team. Of course, they also attracted many bandits and robbers.

Fortunately, the Xu family had tribesmen and village warriors to protect them, and all the men in the clan were brave and good at fighting, so they were able to protect the whole clan.

Xu Tan, the head of the Xu family, said to the brothers beside him:"Let me know, if you hurry up, we will arrive at Yongzhou soon."

Will it be safe when we reach Yongzhou?

Xu Tan himself didn't feel confident either.

However, if we don’t go to Yongzhou now, why don’t we stay in Bingzhou and wait for death?

I heard that when Changzi City was besieged, cannibalism had already begun in the city.

Moreover, Yuan Shao has not shown any record so far that he can fight against Zhou Cheng.

"drive!"

"drive!"

At this time, a fast horse ran to Xu Tan's carriage.

The knight on the horse dismounted neatly and said to Xu Tan:"Father, the Zhou army's cavalry is less than fifty miles away from us and is plundering nearby. Hearing this, Xu

Tan broke into a cold sweat. When he came to his senses, he hurriedly said:"Quick, quick, quick, drop the bulky utensils and speed up!""

……

A large number of Bingzhou refugees were speeding forward on the roads covered with heavy snow.

Some cars are broken down on the roadside and no one is there to repair them.

Some people fell on the road, but no one paid attention to them.

Children's cries could be heard everywhere.

At this time, Zhang Yan's cavalry and Zhou Cheng's cavalry were 'hunting', and the targets of their hunting were these refugees.

The food carried by the refugees was the military rations for the war.

Without enough military rations, even if the army reaches Taiyuan, when the heavy snowfall in December makes the road paved with a thick layer, it will be more difficult to transport the food, grass and baggage from the rear.

Based on his past experience in sieges, Zhou Cheng had already made preparations to surround Jinyang for several months.

In Yongzhou, it is now also in a mess.

Due to the war between Liangzhou and Bingzhou, Yongzhou, which was caught in the middle, suffered a disaster.

At this time, refugees could be seen everywhere in Yongzhou.

Wen Sheng sat in the car and witnessed all this. Although he sympathized with these people, he knew that this was the reality of fighting for the world.

At this time, there was an ox cart not far away, broken down on the roadside.

The woman on the bullock cart was scolding a young man in his twenties.

The young man still responded to the woman with a smile, and did not look angry at all.
