Yan Liang, Wen Chou and both of them were defeated by Jin Tai even when they joined forces. Just when they were about to be defeated and killed, Han Meng joined the battle in time and triggered a new combo skill: 'Four Courts and One Pillar.'
The most famous Hebei Four Courtyard Pillars under Yuan Shao do not refer to four people, but five. The real pronunciation of "Four Courtyard Pillars" is actually "Four Courtyards and One Pillar".
The five of them are Siting: Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang He, Gao Lan, and Yizhu: Han Meng.
Han is often ignored by people because he has a relatively low reputation and died in the battle of Wuchao, but he did make great contributions to Yuan Shao's unification of Hebei.
Among the Four Pillars of Hebei, the only truly powerful ones were Yan Liang and Wen Chou, Zhang He was just a first-time divine general, and Han Meng and Gao Lan were only at the first-class level.
However, when five people join forces, they will be blessed by two combo skills, 'Four Courts and One Pillar' and 'Tiger and Wolf Parallel', which will make the combat power of the five people join forces even surpass the weaker super. The Divine General is definitely a combo skill second only to the 'Five Tigers Breaking the Ultimate'.
If all four courts and one pillar are used in battle, with the superposition of the two combined skills, they can even compete with the super general.
Although Jintai is stronger than the ordinary God of War, there is still a gap compared to the Super God General, so naturally he cannot be the opponent of Four Courts and One Pillar.
But in this battle, there were only three people from Four Courts and One Pillar, and the three of them could only have a slight advantage together. Therefore, Jintai naturally could not escape without a fight, but fought with all his strength to a draw.
In the northern part of Qingzhou, wars at the level of God of War broke out one after another, while in Xuzhou, wars at the level of super generals continued to break out. The wars in these two states naturally attracted the attention of the world.
At the same time, Liu Xiu, who was thousands of miles away, finally completely annexed Zhang Xian and Han Xuan, and expelled Huang Zu's forces in Jingnan, unifying the four counties of Jingnan with great difficulty. .
In fact, Liu Xiu had gained an absolute advantage as early as half a year ago. The reason for delaying unification until now was because he did not want Jingnan to consume too much energy, so he adopted the safest method to gradually encroach. After all, Jingnan The foundation of the four counties is not as good as that of Jingbei. If the consumption is too great, he will not be able to expand externally.
In addition, the biggest obstacle to Liu Xiu's unification of Jingnan was naturally Yue Fei.
Whenever Liu Xiu gained a strategic advantage in Jingnan, Yue Fei would lead his troops to invade Nanjun, forcing Liu Xiu to stop the Jin army and divide his troops to rescue Jiangling, which naturally delayed the unification of Jingnan.
But now that Jingnan has been unified, Liu Xiu will not be so passive if Yue Fei attacks again.
Although Liu Xiu unified the four counties in Jingnan, he did not completely convince Zhang Xian and Han Xuan during the process of unification, but directly killed them, thus leaving many hidden dangers.
Han Xuan's son Han Shizhong, in order to avenge his father, led the remnant army to wander through the major mountain ranges and river systems in southern Jingnan, and continued to engage in guerrilla warfare with Liu Xiu, which caused a lot of trouble for Liu Xiu's rule.
After Zhang Xian's death, his subordinates had been resisting Liu Xiu, but these men were far behind Han Shizhong. Liu Xiu used a small plan to expose them and quickly killed them all.
The reason why Han Shizhong was able to wander around Jingnan but was never wiped out by Liu Xiu was naturally not due to him alone, but because Qin Hao and Huang Zu stood behind him to support him in his fight against Liu Xiu.
General Qin Hao regarded Liu Xiu as his lifelong enemy and did not want Liu Xiu's power to become stronger, so he naturally used various methods to curb Liu Xiu's development. Supporting Liu Xiu's enemies and using his enemies to deal with Liu Xiu was also a way to contain Liu Xiu. One of Liu Xiu’s methods.
Huang Zu was retaliating against Liu Xiu for driving him completely out of Jingnan. In addition, Liu Xiu also took away his only general Gan Ning.
Now Huang Zu only has one Jiangxia County left under his command, and the princes from all directions are stronger than the last. He has no room for external expansion. The person who caused this is Liu Xiu, so he naturally wants to take revenge.
Qin Hao provided Han Shizhong with intelligence, weapons, equipment, and ships, while Huang Zu provided Han Shizhong with food, grass, and troops. It was precisely because of the support of Qin Hao and Huang Zu that Han Shizhong was able to cause so much trouble to Liu Xiu, and he has done so to this day. He was not completely wiped out by Liu Xiu.
"My lord, this Han Shizhong is so arrogant. Although he only has less than 3,000 men in his hands, they have ships and horses. They are as slippery as loaches and can't hold back.
We have been evaded by him in several encirclement and suppression campaigns, and he has also caused considerable losses to our army. If things go on like this and he is allowed to continue to destroy Jingnan, we will not need to vigorously build Jingnan. Kuai Liang said angrily.
Liu Xiu couldn't help but feel a headache when he heard the news about Han Shizhong. He really wanted to conquer Han Shizhong, but he had already killed Han Xuan and took over the murder of his father with Han Shizhong, so naturally it was impossible to conquer him again, and Han Shizhong's revenge for his father also caused him a series of troubles.
"Han Shizhong must be eliminated."
After pondering for a moment, Liu Xiu ordered: "Where are Cen Peng and Gan Ning?"
When Zi'a unified Jingnan, Huang Zu sent Gan Ning to lead the army and formed a coalition with Han Xuan to fight against Liu Xiu. Gan Ning was captured alive and was finally convinced by him and surrendered to Liu Xiu.
"The general is here." The two generals stood up together and responded.
"Gan Ning, you lead 10,000 naval troops and are responsible for encircling and suppressing Han Shizhong from the waterway. Cen Peng, you lead 20,000 infantry and are responsible for encircling and suppressing Han Shizhong from the land route. You have two months to annihilate Han Shizhong and his men."
"promise."
Han Shizhong and his subordinates only had 3,000 disabled soldiers, but Liu Xiu dispatched 30,000 waterway troops to encircle and suppress him. This shows that Liu Xiu attached great importance to Han Shizhong.
Of course, no matter how much Liu Xiu paid attention to, Han Shizhong was only a minor trouble in his heart after all, while the princes from all over the world were the most serious trouble.
"Everyone, Jingnan has four counties below, but the foundation of the four counties is too weak. The total population of the four counties is only more than 130. With such strength, we cannot continue to expand externally. We must try our best to Strengthen Jingnan's foundation so that we won't be trapped in this corner of the world." Liu Xiu said solemnly.
Kuai Yue stood up and said: "My lord, the four counties of Jingnan are vast and sparsely populated, and the population is seriously insufficient. We can conquer the Wuling barbarians to increase the total population of Jingnan."
Liu Xiu's eyes suddenly lit up and he asked eagerly: "How many people are there in each of the Wuling Man tribes?"
"Reporting to my lord, there are about twenty or thirty branches of the Wuling tribe. The largest Wuxi tribe has a population of about 100,000, and the smallest Xiangshui tribe has a population of only a few thousand. The total population of these tribes is about five to six million. "
