Whether it is the governor of Jizhou or the governor of Yanzhou, these two states are in dilapidated state, and the sparsely populated Qingzhou is much more important.
Yuan Shao's love for Yuan Shang appeared in front of the ministers.
Seeing Yuan Shao's stance, Xu You glanced proudly at Feng Ji beside him.
The lord liked the second young master, or was it because he had a relationship with his mistress, Mrs. Liu, through the elite, that he didn't know it beforehand.
Mrs. Liu loved the second young master and often told stories about Yuan Tan's mistakes in front of her lord. Xu You knew this very well.
His relationship with Fang Guang, or in other words, Yanzhou, has never been broken. With good goods, he can naturally live with the high-ranking people in Yecheng.
In this world, Xu You's status is comparable to that of Yuan Shao's good friend who was just messing around in history. He is a truly powerful sect with huge wealth.
Seeing the second young master being lifted out, Jushou took a deep breath of satisfaction.
It was not that he was not on good terms with Yuan Tan, but that he couldn't stand Guo Tu's face. Whatever Lao Guo supported, Ju Shou would definitely oppose.
As Yuan Shao's subordinate, Ju Shou, who was an all-rounder in both civil and military affairs, was naturally not in vain. He had no arrangements. Seeing that Boss Benchu was in a much better mood.
Jushou struck while the iron was hot and quickly released two pieces of good news to invite favors.
"My lord, Cao Cao has too much to worry about now. There is chaos in Guanzhong and the fall of Chang'an. It is right before our eyes. As soon as Han Sui and Ma Chao's 100,000 troops leave Tongguan, Yanzhou will be attacked from both sides in an instant!"
"I heard that the three brothers Liu Huangshu also gained the trust of Liu Biao and were eyeing Yuzhou. The brothers Liu Guan and Zhang, and Cao Cao and Fang Guang, are bitter and bitter!"
"If the Jingzhou army goes north, Cao Cao will be surrounded by enemies on three sides!"
"That army is just delaying the gathering of the Hebei army, but they don't know that I have to arrange it. At that time, the longer we can escape, the smoother it may be for Cao Cao!"
"Oh? There are plans, please tell me quickly so that I can feel relieved!"
"My lord, in the north of Jizhou, Wuhuan and Xianbei have always had many cavalry. The leader of Wuhuan, Tadun, has personally led an army of thirty thousand to the south to help!"
"Wuhuan is a powerful cavalry, and the light and sharp ones return the armor to Cao's army. With Tadun to help him, what does Fang Guang mean?"
"Well, that makes sense. Yanzhou's sharpness lies in its horses. The Wuhuan grassland is thousands of miles away. If you are better than a horse, you may not be worse than a thief!"
"My lord, in addition to Tadun, Gongsun Du, the governor of Liaodong, was also moved by my letter and wanted to lead troops to help!"
"The place where thieves are rampant today is just north of Jizhou, on the seaside. The land is vast and sparsely populated, which is suitable for cavalry to gallop!"
"The soldiers under Gongsun Du are very powerful in Liaodong. They even wrote a letter saying that they are recruiting people from the Three Han Dynasties to help. They are thieves and bandits. They are not afraid of death when they are poor. They will die when they die. It is also a good thing to consume Cao's army!"
"Oh? Sanhan?"
Yuan Shao, however, did not understand the situation in the east of Liaodong, where the barbarians were located, and frowned slightly.
"My lord, the Chen Kingdom, a barbarian country to the south of Lelang County, is now taking advantage of the Central Plains to look eastward and establish a foothold on the peninsula!"
"Oh, I see. Aren't they more barbaric than the people of Baiyue? These people die without mercy. They are indeed natural consumables!"
Yuan Shao's words in the third century AD revealed the true nature of the peninsula. The civil and military officials in Yecheng started talking about it, and most of them praised their lord.
"Okay, the situation is very good now. Regardless of whether Fang Guang comes to Jizhou in person or not, we must make sure that he never comes back!"
"Jushou, please send a message to Zhang He. He is the only one left in the Four Courtyard Pillars. If you can clear out the Jizhou cavalry, I will definitely reward you heavily!"
"If thousands of people can't deal with it, Yecheng won't raise useless people!"
"promise!"
"My troops in Hebei are well-prepared, and I will definitely capture your majesty and create the lord's hegemony!"
The ministers from Hebei stood up to speak together. Yuan Shao narrowed his eyes slightly. This man who single-handedly directed the introduction of Dong Zhuo by He Jin and the killing of his relatives and eunuchs, and the son of a high-ranking family, was by no means an idiot.
At this moment, Yuan Shao's heart was filled with passion, and he felt that the world was at his fingertips. However, he suddenly felt a pain in his chest, his eyes were black, his ears were ringing, his body tilted, and he fell on the throne of Ye City!
Hebei, the original body, was hollowed out a few years in advance.
To the west of the Tianxia chess game, in Guanzhong Chang'an, Xia Houyuan, dressed in military uniform, commanded his troops, drove back the Longxi armies, and launched another attack.
For more than ten consecutive days, Han Sui, Ma Chao, and the bandits in Guanzhong attacked the city several times every day. Xiliang soldiers and horses, which lacked siege equipment and were good at field battles, were unable to break the city at all.
Seeing the valiant generals and the incompetent thieves, the few tens of thousands of people left in Chang'an gradually calmed down.
Anyway, there is food in the city and not many people.
It is normal to defend the city like this for a year and a half!
Today, Xia Houyuan searched the city wall as usual, but found something different under the city.
In the past, soldiers and horses from Xiliang attacked the city, but the ladders and ropes were noisy and the threat was limited. The soldiers on the city killed hundreds of people, and the Xiliang army leaders all put out their fire.
Today is different. Overnight, about a thousand steps below the city, a huge wooden walled city has been built.
This walled city is very different from the Central Plains military camp. There are many towers and it is surrounded by a deep ditch about three feet wide. Under the ditch, there are sharpened wooden stakes, which should be used to guard against night attacks by Cao's army in the city.
In the walled city, the soldiers, armed with square shields and short swords, gathered in groups of three or five, busy with their work.
Xia Houyuan looked from a distance and saw that not only the camp of this army was different from that of other armies in the Central Plains, but the flags were also different. They were silk with a goshawk pattern embroidered on a short pole. Next to the goshawk, there were things like wheat ears.
"Where are these soldiers? The barbarians and the Di were also used by Ma Mengqi and Han Sui?"
Xia Houyuan saw that under the eagle flag, the soldier had fair complexion, high nose and deep eyes, and strange armor. He spat in disdain!
In Miaocai's view, these are all just superficial and unimportant displays created by the people of Xiliang.
"General, what kind of formation is this? My family has lived in Longxi for a long time, but I have never seen such a formation!"
Next to Xia Houyuan, Wei Kang, the son of the former imperial servant Wei Duan, looked at the Xiliang formation and couldn't help but ask softly.
Although Wei Kang was recommended by Xun Yu, he was a talented man and was killed by Ma Chao in history. In this world, this boy has not yet become the governor of Liangzhou, but he was Sima who was loved and respected by Xiahou Yuan.
"Boy, this is just an army to impress people. They are dressed in fancy clothes and can dig dirt quickly. There is no way to fight!"
"After a while, the other army will come closer. All it takes is the soldiers at the top of the city and their bows and crossbows. Let's see how they can break the city!"
While Xia Houyuan was giving instructions, suddenly the sound of horns sounded from below the city, followed by gongs, drums, cornets, and Roman-style military music. It was so wonderful that I wanted to laugh.
In his opinion, such a frivolous piece of music does not have the elegance and taste of Han military music.
"Aistuto, dog!"
Below the city, barbarian military orders sounded, and Longxi soldiers and horses filed out of the strange wooden walled city.
There were about three hundred people in a team, all wearing short armor, huge square shields and short swords.
Three hundred people formed a square formation. The soldiers in the front row held up shields to protect their comrades behind them, while the soldiers in the middle held large shields above their heads.
The side soldiers protect the flanks of the phalanx. The three hundred soldiers are a moving iron fortress!
