"Feng Yuan Tu!" Guo Tu said angrily: "Your plan will be unfavorable, and my plan will be despised by the world. If you can't tell the truth today, I will fight you to the death!"
Guo Tu was completely angry. In his opinion, connecting with foreigners was the best way. But Feng Ji was not only alarmist, but also threatened in an attempt to stop his plan. Although Guo Tu and Feng Ji did not get along, it had not developed to the point where
They were incompatible with each other. But now, the two of them were completely on opposite sides.
"Afraid of you?" Feng Ji sneered and said: "You can indeed get strong support by connecting with foreign tribes, but have you ever thought about it. The people of Jizhou and Youzhou have suffered from foreign tribes for a long time! The champion marquis attacks foreign tribes to show off the power of my great Han Dynasty, but my lord
But you use foreign tribes to attack the champion. Do you want your lord to lose all hope in the world? If all the people in Youji betray your lord, the champion will win without a fight! How will your lord's fate be different from that of Yuan Gongli? You will die without a burial place.
!”
"A few untouchables are worth mentioning!" Guo Tu said toughly, but his momentum weakened. Although he was at odds with Fengji, it was undeniable that Fengji's words made sense!
"A little untouchable?" Feng Ji sneered and said nothing.
Yuan Shao rubbed his swollen head and said: "Yuan Tu, Gong Ze's opinion is not advisable, so what do you have to say?"
"This..." Feng Ji rolled his eyes and said: "There is a feud between foreigners and the Han Dynasty, so of course we can't collude. But Yanzhou Cao Cao, Yangzhou Sun Jian, Jingzhou Liu Biao, and even Hongnong Zhang Baiqi can all be used by me! If they all work together
To send troops, Liu Zhang must be at his wits' end!"
"Huh? This is a wonderful plan!" Yuan Shao asked, "What do you think?"
"My lord, Cao Cao and Sun Jian may be available, but Liu Biao and Zhang Baiqi should forget about it!"
?As for Liu Biao, he was a clan member of the Han Dynasty, so he was lucky not to help Liu Zhang. It was unreliable to expect him to send troops. Liu Biao wanted to use Liu Bei as gatekeeper, but Liu Zhang only sent a letter, so Liu Biao gave up.
Got the idea!"
"Speaking of Liu Bei, he can be used!" Shen Pei said with a smile: "My lord, this person should have been able to become a recognized clan member of the Han Dynasty, but he was blocked by Liu Zhang. He relied on Liu Biao, but was interfered by Liu Zhang. His relationship with Liu Zhang
The hatred is deep! I remember that Liu Bei has two generals who are very brave. If they can help us, Liu Zhang will definitely have a headache!"
Yuan Shao thought for a while and asked: "If Liu Biao doesn't want to help me, why would he send Liu Bei to fight? Without Liu Biao's support, what can Liu Bei do with only a few thousand soldiers?"
"My lord, you must not underestimate these thousands of troops!" Feng Ji said with a smile: "If they can be behind Liu Zhang and make Liu Zhang uneasy, the effect will be achieved. As for whether Liu Biao will send Liu Bei to fight, there is no need for my lord to consider it! I
I think Liu Jingsheng would like to drive Liu Bei, the troublemaker, out of Jingzhou!"
Yuan Shao asked with some confusion: "How do you say this?"
"My Lord, I don't know!" Xu You said with a smile: "Liu Bei is quite unstable. After he arrived in Jingzhou, he became enemies with the Cai family of Jingxiang. In addition, Liu Zhang was unyielding to him and often wanted to kill him. Liu Biao already
He was worried that Cai would be resentful and turn to Liu Zhang, but he could not openly drive Liu Bei away and lose his reputation. It was a dilemma. If the lord asked Liu Bei to send troops, Liu Jingsheng could justifiably send Liu Bei out of Jingzhou! By then, no matter Liu Bei was an enemy of the champion, or
The surrender champion has nothing to do with Liu Biao! My lord, if you were Liu Biao, would you send Liu Bei to send troops?"
"Of course..." Yuan Shao blurted out and couldn't help but laugh: "Yuan Tu, you and Zheng Nan are responsible for contacting Cao Cao, Liu Biao and others. Gongze, you and Zhong Zhi are responsible for contacting Karasuma and the Xiongnu. With a two-pronged approach, I don't believe that Liu Zhang is
Made of iron!"
"Lord, contacting foreigners is not good for your reputation!" Seeing that Yuan Shao still wanted to contact foreigners, he quickly stepped forward to persuade him.
Yuan Shao laughed and said: "Yuan Tu is overthinking! History books are written by the victors. As long as I can defeat Liu Zhang and win the world, future generations will only praise me for my talents and strategies, and will never say that I colluded with foreign nations!"
"My lord is wise!" Guo Tu was overjoyed when he heard this. Although he admitted that what Feng Ji said was reasonable, he never hoped that Yuan Shao would not use his strategy.
"Gong Ze, you've been rewarded! Pass the order and order Zhang Yan to lead the Black Mountain Army to march to Yuci, Gao Lan to march to Yangyi, and Jiang Yiqu to attack Quyang. When news from all sides comes, I will personally lead the army to attack Jinyang!" Yuan Shao
He was so proud, as if Bingzhou had been captured by him.
"Yes!" Everyone bowed and retreated, each going to complete the order given by Yuan Shao.
At the foot of Jinyang City, Liu Zhang personally led the army and finally arrived! Looking at Ju Shou and Tian Feng who came to greet them, Liu Zhang immediately stepped forward, held their hands and said: "Two gentlemen, you have worked hard these years!"
"It is our honor to serve under your lord!" Tian Feng and Ju Shou were originally minor officials. Even if Ju Shou was the governor of Jizhou, there was nothing much they could do. However, under Liu Zhang, the two of them were in charge of the military and political affairs of the state.
It can be said that you are so satisfied with your ambition, how can you feel hard work?
"See my lord!" Zhao Lei is the guard general of Jinyang. He is responsible for guarding Jinyang and training the soldiers. When Zhao Yun comes, he doesn't need to see him. When Liu Zhang comes, he will naturally come to see him!
"Brother Zhao, please get up quickly!" Liu Zhang helped Zhao Lei up and said with a smile: "Zilong and I are as close as brothers, and Brother Zhao is naturally my elder brother, so why are you so polite!"
"Etiquette cannot be discarded!" Zhao Lei is also a serious and upright person. Speaking of which, Zhao Yun is still a little afraid of him!
"By the way! Where is Zilong?" Liu Zhang was a little surprised when he scanned the crowd and didn't see Zhao Yun.
"This..." Tian Feng hesitated and said, "General Zhao... went to Yangquan City!"
"Isn't Yuan Shao stationed in Yangquan?" Liu Zhang asked, "Why did Zilong go to Yangquan?"
"General Zhao and the three generals Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, and Liu Xian led their troops to harass Yuan Shao in order to delay his advance!"
Zhang He fiercely knelt on the ground and said: "It's all because of the bad general. He had a dispute with General Ma Chao, so General Zhao..."
"Okay!" Liu Zhang helped Zhang He up and said with a smile: "Jun Yi doesn't have to blame himself! Zilong is a rare general in the world. Since he dares to send troops, even if he is not 100% sure, he will definitely succeed. It doesn't matter.
It’s your business!”
"This..." Seeing Liu Zhang trusting Zhao Yun so much, Zhang He felt a little envious.
Seeing everyone coming up to pay tribute, Liu Zhang joked with a smile on his face: "You guys, don't you want to reminisce with me at the city gate?"
"My lord, please!" As the shepherd of Bingzhou, Tian Feng stretched out his hand and invited Liu Zhang to enter the city!
Tian Feng and Jushou, the governor of Bingzhou, had already prepared a residence and a banquet for Liu Zhang. Officials of all sizes in Bingzhou had also arrived. Unfortunately, Liu Zhang did not find any useful talents among them.
"Tell me about the current situation!" After the banquet, in the meeting hall of the Governor's Mansion, Liu Zhang was holding a cup of tea and taking the first place.
"Your Majesty!" Jushou said with cupped hands: "Now Yuan Shao is stationed in Yangquan City, which is far away from Jinyang. Three days ago, Yuan Shao ordered Zhang Yan to attack Yuci, Gao Lan to attack Yangyi, and Jiang Yiqu to attack Yangqu. He clearly wanted Zhang Yan to attack
Yan stands in front."
"Has Zhang Yan of Heishan taken refuge with Yuan Shao?" Liu Zhang had been on the road recently, but he didn't pay attention to the intelligence from all directions, so he didn't even know about Zhang Yan's temporary stay under Yuan Shao's command.
"It is said that Yuan Shao used two million stones of grain and grass every year to bring the Black Mountain Yellow Turban thieves under his command!" Guo Jia was in charge of the intelligence. Since Liu Zhang asked questions, he did his best to answer the question.
"Yuan Benchu is still very wealthy. He recruits a bandit leader with two million stones of food and grass every year!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "If it were me, I would rather kill them all than leave such a big hidden danger!"
"Yuan Benchu didn't want to give him food and grass, but Zhang Yan was too powerful. Yuan Shao's generals Gao Lan and Han Meng led more than 100,000 troops, and they didn't even touch the foot of Black Mountain!" Guo Jia smiled and shook his head, as if he was very disdainful of Yuan Shao.
"It doesn't matter so much! Since Yuan Shao doesn't move, we won't move either!" Liu Zhang said: "Fengxiao, you send someone to contact Zilong and ask him to return to Jinyang!"
"Yes!" Guo Jia knew that Liu Zhang was reluctant to let Zhao Yun take risks. Although Liu Zhang had many generals under his command, when it came to taking charge of his own affairs, Zhao Yun was the first to bear the brunt.
When Guo Jia's people contacted Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun was also preparing to return to Jinyang! After being tricked by Yuan Shao once, Zhao Yun understood that it would not be so easy to rob Yuan Jun's food and grass again. In addition, Liu Xian's arms were weak and he was helpless for a few days.
After recovering, he couldn't leave Liu Xian alone. Besides, Yuan Shao had been harassed by Zhang Fei and Ma Chao for so long, and he was almost used to it!
Time passed very quickly. It had been half a month since Liu Zhang arrived in Jinyang. Except for the constant fighting in Yangqu, Yangyi, and Yuci, there was no movement from Yuan Shao's army! Liu Zhang didn't know what Yuan Shao wanted to do, so he could only passively wait for him to attack. After all,
, Yuan Shao has 700,000 troops under his command, which is not that easy to destroy. Even if he wants to burn Yuan Shao's food and grass, he has to know where he stores the food and grass. However, Liu Zhang never expected that Yuan Shao had prepared a big gift for him!
Sili, Hongnong, Xiaoshan. There is a yellow scarf stronghold on this mountain. The leader of the bandit is named Zhang Baiqi. As for his real name, no one knows it. They only know that his surname is Zhang and he likes to ride white horses, so he is called Zhang Bai.
Qi. In fact, Zhang Baiqi’s original surname was not Zhang, but he changed his surname later.
Since the uprising of Zhang Jiao, the great virtuous teacher, wars have spread everywhere. The Yellow Turban thieves are divided into twelve large canal commanders and thirty-six small canal commanders. Zhang Baiqi is one of the twelve large canal commanders and the only remaining large canal commander! At first, Zhang Baiqi
Bai Qi and Zhang Niujiao attacked Jizhou together and took root in Heishan. Unfortunately, Zhang Niujiao died in the middle of nowhere, and everyone elected his adopted son Zhang Yan to take charge of his Yellow Turbans. Zhang Baiqi was Zhang Yan's uncle. In order not to influence Zhang Yan, he
Then he left Montenegro and took root between the two cuisines.
Zhang Baiqi has no ambitions. His greatest hope is to watch the Han Dynasty perish and fulfill Zhang Jue's wish. Now that the Han Dynasty is in a precarious situation and may collapse at any time, he just wants to find a place to stay and protect the people. However, Zhang Baiqi
Qi has no ambition, but ambitious people find him!
