Yan Gang also got angry when he mentioned Liu Bei.
Fortunately, Gongsun Zan treated him like a brother, but this guy jumped out and took Daijun.
You must know that when Liu Bei sent troops, Gongsun Zan and Huang Zhong hadn't fought yet, and the result hadn't come out yet. It's too much for you to come here so early to grab the territory.
"Oh! Liu Bei? This is really interesting." Xu Ding touched the bar and asked: "Who among you is familiar with Daijun, I will go to Daijun with Han Sheng later."
Wu Mian stood up and said, "Master Hou, I'm not willing to go."
Wu Mian's life back then was also saved by Xu Ding, and he had already respected Xu Ding's prestige in the Battle of Baishi.
Xu Ding said: "Okay, then you go, you take three thousand white horses to go there, listen to Hou Hansheng's command, Zhuge Jin, you are responsible for helping Han Sheng pick up the leftovers, in this battle, you will repel Liu Bei's army and kill them. The vital force is the main thing, and there is no need to gather too many cities.
By the way, be careful of Liu Bei's Qu Yi and his first dead soldiers, don't attack hard, don't be greedy for merit. "
Huang Zhong and Zhuge Jin stood up and replied with Wu Mian, "It's the lord (Hou Ye)."
The crowd dispersed, and soon a personal guard came to see Xu Ding with a mysterious visitor.
The person who came was the bearer of Tianluodiwang from Youzhou, and after seeing Xu Ding, he would immediately report the news collected by Tianluodiwang.
The news from the sky and the sky is more specific than the news that Gongsun Zan's troops will come from the south.
Generally, Gongsun Zan's son Gongsun Xu, Chang Shi Guan Jing and the defeated Gongsun Fan Shou were in Ji County.
Gongsun Zan's younger brother, Gongsun Yueshou, was in Changping as Gongsun Xu's rear line. The two armies were struggling to support in the north of Guangyang County, looking forward to Gongsun Zan's return.
In other respects, Shan Jing, Gongsun Zan's subordinate Shanggu prefect, was guarding Pan County, guarding against Liu Bei of Dai County.
Zou Dan, the prefect of Yuyang, guarded Yuyang City, and Tian Kai, the prefect of Liaoxi, guarded the area around Haiyang City.
"Have they sent a distress letter to Donglai?" Xu Ding asked.
At the moment, the situation in Youzhou was very unfavorable to Gongsun Zan's subordinates, and they were overwhelmingly inclined towards Yuan Shao.
"My lord, it's not. Neither Zou Dan nor Tian Kai sent us Liaodong for help. They probably still believe in Gongsun Zan and think he can win." The person in charge of Youzhou's Tianluodiwang went on to say:
"However, the Tian family in Yuyang sent someone to ask me for help from Liaodong."
The Tian family in Yuyang is the hometown of his second apprentice Tian Yu. It is no secret that the Tian family loves Xu Ding, and Tian Yu is originally in the Liaodong vassal state.
So of course Xu Shu sent people to support Yuyang County.
And now Xu Shu and others who were in the eastern part of Liaoxi County had received the messenger they had sent, and knew the result of Huang Zhong and Gongsun Zan's victory, so they should have sent all their troops to the west.
…………
Yuan Shao's army sent troops to Youzhou, and Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, Jushou and others in Qingzhou immediately sent troops northward.
First, Wu Dun, the captain of the Bohai Navy, attacked Zhangwu City in Bohai County, and then sent Lu Qian to attack Quanzhou.
Pingyuan County sent the Fourth Colonel Army to attack Xiuxian County, Bohai County, then Zhu Lingbei attacked Nanpi County, and Zhang Fei attacked Wuyi, Anping State.
Soon Bohai County was captured by the whole territory. Zhu Ling and Zhang Fei succeeded in attacking the capital city of Hehejian from east to west, occupied the southern part of Hejian State, and then pushed northward, aiming to attack Yuan Shao's grain road and traffic leading to Youzhou. Cut off its connection with Jizhou.
Of course, Yuan Shao had already expected that Zhang Jai and Guo Tu would be the main force to defend the west bank of Gushui along the lines of Raoyang, Wuheng and Gaoyang.
Bohai County was originally part of the plan abandoned by Yuan Shao, so the fourth school lieutenant army would attack so smoothly, because Yuan Shao didn't want to fight Donglai Army in this county at all, but deliberately pulled the battlefield to the front line.
In this way, not only can the troops be concentrated, but also the logistics depth of the Donglai Army can be extended.
Under the city of Ji County, Yuan Jun camped.
Yuan Shao Yijing received reports from Zhang Ja and Guo Tu.
"As everyone predicted, Xu Ding still eats Bohai Sea first, and he intends to concentrate his strength to end the Youzhou Change at the lowest cost while attacking the river." Yuan Shao spit out with emotion:
"It's a pity that we have planned a long time ago. Xu Ding wants to swallow two counties with a single captain, and he looks down on me too much. He really thinks his army is invincible." There is no problem, what is worrying now is that both of its naval forces will go ashore to land in Youzhou, and the navy in Liaodong has not yet gone south. We must take advantage of this time to step up and capture Jixian and gain a foothold in Youzhou, otherwise Donglai in Liaodong will After the army goes west, there will be some troubles." Xun Kan said.
Yuan Shao nodded, and then asked Xu You: "Ziyuan, what information have you received?"
Xu You changed from his previous self-satisfaction, but frowned sadly and said: "My lord, the news from the direction of Juyongguan has been blocked. There is no specific news about who will win and who will win between Gongsun Zan and Xu Ding. Liu Bei from the Daijun side will They sent troops to take it down, but they didn’t advance eastward. Gongsun Zan’s prefect of Shanggu, Shan Jing, was guarding Pan County. There were a lot of soldiers and horses. Maybe Liu Bei was also watching, ready to reap the benefits of the fisherman.”
"Hmph, Liu Bei is extremely cunning, and he is always cunning when he is in danger." Xun Kan complained in disgust.
The same is true, people in Jizhou don't like Liu Bei very much, especially the Yingchuan family.
Liu Bei's background was too humble, and his behavior was hypocritical, so Xun Kan, Xu You and others also hated him.
Especially the last time Liu Bei's subordinate Li Su secretly attacked Shangdang. Although the senior officials and others were released in the end, Liang Zi was completely settled.
However, Yuan Shao also reconciled with Liu Bei for the sake of his own face and interests, and to show his bearing as a descendant of the fourth generation and the third prince.
Yuan Shao had complicated views on Liu Bei, so he asked Xu You, "Ziyuan tell me about other aspects."
Xu You said: "My lord, the generals of Yuyang County, Youbeiping, and Liaoxi County's Gongsun Zan did not ask for help from the Donglai Army. I think we can release a fake news, saying that Gongsun Zan won the duel with Huang Zhong, but Xu Ding's subordinates, Xian Yufu, Xian Yuyin refused to accept it and shot Gongsun Zan secretly with a dark arrow. Now the outside of the pass is controlled by Xu Ding, and Xu Ding is going to attack Juyongguan.
If Zou Dan and Tian Kai can be tricked into joining in this way, Youzhou will be completely settled. "
Xian Yufu and Xian Yuyin were former Liu Yu's subordinates, and it was very reasonable to kill Gongsun Zan for Liu Yu.
"Okay! Let's do it like this!" Yuan Shao was overjoyed when he heard the words, but he sat down again and asked: "If Zou Dan, Tian Kai and others find out later that we lied to them, it will be troublesome."
Xu You replied with a sneer at the corner of his mouth: "It's very simple, my lord. Get rid of the two of you before they find out. What we want is not Youzhou, but a chaotic Youzhou. We don't need to care about the authenticity of the matter, but It's fishing in troubled waters, true and false, this is the purpose of our coming to Youzhou."
"What Ziyuan said is reasonable, so let's do it this way." Yuan Shao was also ruthless, and almost forgot that he didn't enter Youzhou to occupy the territory, but to destroy Youzhou and drag Xu Ding here to fight a war of attrition.
Whether Youzhou is good or bad has nothing to do with him.
To blame can only be blamed on Gongsun Zan for blocking the news, allowing us to take advantage of it.
Soon the news spread in Guangyang County immediately, and Yuan Jun intentionally sent it into Ji County.
Gongsun Zan's son, Gongsun Xu, was pale and anxious when he heard the words, so he hurriedly found Guan Jing and Gongsun Fan.
"Guan Changshi, Uncle, there are rumors inside and outside the city that my father was shot and killed outside the pass by Xian Yufu and Xian Yuyin. What do you think we should do now? Surrender Yuan Shao and retreat north to Shanggu County?" Gongsun Xu asked in a panic. road.
Guan Jing frowned, the Eldest Young Master asked very stupidly.
You don't care about truth and falsehood, and you ask whether to escape or surrender first, which is not at all a father's style.
Gongsun Fan said: "Hmph, even if you retreat to the grassland, it is impossible to surrender to Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao's face is reassuring and jealous. The young master is the eldest brother's eldest son. With you in Yuan Shao, you will never be able to secure Youzhou. If you don't kill the young master now, Sooner or later, the son will be eliminated."
Gongsun Xu's face turned even paler.
Guan Jing said: "My lord, we should first find out whether something really happened to the lord, or someone with a heart is disturbing our sight, disturbing our army's morale, and destroying our Youzhou's confidence in resisting Yuan Shao."
Gongsun Xu hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, or what Guan Changshi said is right, what do you think?"
