The Han Dynasty used the autumn wind to sweep away the fallen leaves, defeated Xianbei, conquered the Yan Kingdom, destroyed the Three Han Dynasties, subdued Donghu, and took advantage of the situation to destroy Wuhuan.%&*
For the Han Dynasty, this battle in the north was like a long dragon, almost perfect.
Now what?
Now they have traveled thousands of miles from Hetao to Liaodong with grain and grass, and they have accumulated enough strength. It can be said that they are ready to attack Zhao.
Under such circumstances, what is the situation of Zhao State? [
All I can say is that I can still barely maintain people's hearts.
On the one hand, Yuan Shao did have some skills, but on the other hand, Liu Feng was a great enemy of the gentry. The filial piety and integrity system he created was equivalent to giving half of the way for gentry to become officials to poor families.
The nobles did not want Liu Feng to take power, so they could only seek refuge with Yuan Shao.
Relying on these two reasons, Yuan Shao stabilized the situation.
As for the chance of winning, even Yuan Shao himself thought it was not good. As a result, Yuan Shao's hair turned gray a lot, and it also made Feng Ji feel sad.
However, despite this, Yuan Shao reluctantly got up and made his last effort.
The most basic reason why a hero is called a hero is that he is stronger than ordinary people. Yuan Shao does not lack strength.
On this day, the sun was shining brightly.
You can see the majesty and majesty of Ye City from a distance. And in the city, the most majestic building is the Palace of the King of Zhao.
It occupies a vast area, with palaces, pavilions, and numerous gardens.
Yuan Shao was currently in a side hall, discussing with his adviser Feng Ji how to deal with Liu Feng.
"Your Majesty, there is news from Cao Cao. He has made it clear that he will no longer send troops to save Zhao." Below, Feng Ji glanced at Yuan Shao and said bitterly.
Yuan Shao was dressed more casually today, and he was in pretty good spirits.i^
"It's as expected." Yuan Shao was very calm after hearing this.
Some time ago, he sent a request for help to Cao Cao.
However, Yuan Shao just obeyed fate and did his best. But he knew in his heart that there was little hope because Hebei was easy to attack and difficult to defend.
Except for the tall city, there is no dangerous place.
Now the elite troops are not very powerful, and it is difficult to resist Liu Feng's offensive. And now Cao Cao's troops are not many, so he can no longer waste his troops in Hebei.
Another thing, Yuan Shao also knew about Liu Bei's existence.[
Liu Bei is a man of great tenacity. His subordinates Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are both capable of defeating tens of thousands of enemies, and Chen Dao is also a good general. If Liu Bei is given soldiers, he will surely create a strong army.
With such a powerful foreign aid, Yuan Shao has no effect.
Anyway, with one sentence, the stumbling block was quickly kicked out. This is very common. There is no one who can be trusted among the princes, only interests at stake.
Yuan Shao was calm and able to accept this.
But now, what Zhao Guo wants to do is to save himself.
Thinking about this, Yuan Shao gave up the hope of reinforcements and began to think about how to resist. Now, Zhao State has half a state of land.
One Jizhou, half Youzhou.
There are 180,000 troops. Currently, 130,000 are in Jizhou and 50,000 are in Youzhou.
After this period of reinforcement, three large cities were formed, Fanyang City in Youzhou, Xindu in Jizhou, and Ye City. These three large cities have been fortified to an unimaginable level.
In addition, there is another place called Jie Bridge. This bridge is located at Pan River. This bridge belongs to the bridge between Youzhou and Jizhou.
Geographical location is relatively important.
At that time, the two major forces, Yuan and Gongsun, fought at Jieqiao, thus determining Yuan Shao's position in Hebei.
Anyway, what Zhao Guo can rely on now is these four points.
Fan Yang led the way, followed by Jieqiao, then Xindu, and finally Yecheng. He had 180,000 troops and sufficient food and grass.
As the frontline, Fanyang City is very important. This city is the seat of Youzhou. Without Fanyang, Youzhou will all fall into the hands of Liu Feng.
The rest will only face threats after Fan Yang is defeated.
And who is guarding Fan Yang now? Yuan Xi.
Yuan Shao was not very sure about the ability of his second son. Thinking about it, Yuan Shao had some concerns in his mind. So he said to Feng Ji: "Add 30,000 troops to Fan Yang, and order Xi'er to defend Fan Yang with 80,000 elite troops.
If the situation is not right, I will personally lead 100,000 elite troops to support him, so he must feel at ease."
"promise."
Fengji didn't have any objections to the increase of troops to Fan Yang, so he readily agreed.
"Now, we can only do our best to obey fate. Both Gongsun Du relied on 40,000 elite soldiers, and both had the courage to defend Xiangping and eventually self-immolate. How can I fall behind Gongsun Du?"
Immediately afterwards, Yuan Shao said again.[
After saying these words, Yuan Shao's whole aura suddenly changed. Like a dead tree blooming with spring, he exuded the vigor of his youth.
It appears to be radiant and dazzling.
"Your Majesty." Looking at Yuan Shao's appearance at this moment, Feng Ji's eyes were slightly moist and he almost choked as he said.
At the beginning, the lord he followed was such an outstanding person. He, Guo Tu, Shen Pei and others fell in love with the lord at a glance.
Finally, he occupied the four states of Hebei and became the overlord of the north.
They were originally proud of the spring breeze, but Cao Cao, Liu Feng, especially that damn Liu Feng, ruined so many good things for them.
Immediately, Feng Ji cheered up again.
Yes, Gongsun Du had the courage to die together, but how could they, Zhao State, not have it now?
"Your Majesty, that minister has gone to deliver the order." Feng Ji took a deep breath and saluted.
"Okay." Yuan Shao nodded and said.
"Da da da." After receiving Yuan Shao's approval, Feng Ji walked out of the side hall and went down to deliver the order.
After Feng Ji left, Yuan Shao was silent for a while, then he raised his head and looked around. This side hall was actually the place where he handled official documents on a daily basis.
It is similar to the study room, mostly made of bamboo slips. However, Yuan Shao is the hero.
After taking a quick glance, Yuan Shao placed his gaze on a sword stand next to him. There was a sword on it, which was a six-foot-long sword.
Back then, Yuan Shao carried it with him when he launched an army to attack Dong Zhuo.
Thinking about it, Yuan Shao stood up, came to the sword stand, and took off the long sword on it.
"Clang." With a sound, the long sword came out of the body, and an unparalleled coldness suddenly appeared. Then, the long sword showed its clues.
The sword body is completely black, with sharp edges on both sides. There is a groove in the middle. With this groove, once the sword body pierces the body, blood will flow.
The hilt is round and covered with black cloth to prevent sweat.
This is not a sword, but a murder weapon.
"Liu Feng, don't underestimate me."
Yuan Shao raised his long sword and said to the blade.
The blade of the sword reflected Yuan Shao's face, his eyebrows were raised, and his anger was astonishing.
At the same time, there were 30,000 troops, wearing armor and holding spears, heading towards Fan Yang under the leadership of the general.
It can be said that Yuan Shao was also ready to go to war with the Han Dynasty.
