In the morning, the Hebei border, outside Handan City. The avenue is very close to the city, but parallel.

"Da da da da da!!!!"

A large-scale cavalry team went from south to north. The horse's hooves were as sharp as iron, and the flags were everywhere, rolling up dust in the sky.

The gate of Handan City was closed, and many scholars were watching the situation on the city and pointing fingers.

"Is that the Xiliang Iron Cavalry?"

"What a mighty cavalry. Is the Grand Marshal, General Zhang Xiu, the Cavalry, in the army?"

"Road Hebei, he is rampant."

Since Zhang Xiu defeated Qu Yi and Ju Su's 30,000 troops, he no longer marched day and night, but only marched during the day.

In this way, the news spread. Almost all scholars in Hebei, as long as they were not closed-door otakus, knew that Zhang Xiu had defeated Qu Yi and advanced to Changshan.

Although Zhang Xiu had become famous when he was rampant in Liangzhou.

Zhang Xiu helped Dong Zhuo enter Luoyang, control the government, and abolish the emperor. After defeating Yuan Shao, Sun Jian, Cao Cao and others, he was already in awe of the world.

But after all, it is an illusory reputation. Now that Zhang Xiu's troops have indeed arrived in Hebei and Jizhou, how can the people of Jizhou not be shocked?

Zhang Xiu was domineering all the way and arrived unstoppably in Jizhou's confidant place outside Gaoyi City.

Under the banner of the "Zhang" character, Zhang Xiu looked up at the closed city gate in front of him, and then looked at the sun again. It was almost noon and the sun was shining brightly.

Zhang Xiu said to Dian Wei beside him: "Send someone to call. Let Han Fu release General Qu's family, otherwise I will attack the city."

"promise."

Dian Wei Yingnuo said, and went down to deal with it immediately. Qu Yi bowed to Zhang Xiu and said, "Thank you, Mr. Ming."

"Brother, you're polite." Zhang Xiuze said with a smile.

Not long after, more than ten loud voices came out of the military formation, and in Luoyang Mandarin, he shouted at Gaoyi City: "Listen to the Grand Marshal, General of Cavalry, and Marquis Zhang here. He came here not for other things, but for General Qu Yi's family. If the Grand Marshal was willing to let go, the Grand Marshal would lead his troops back. If the Grand Marshal did not let go, the troops would break the city."

There is a silence on the city.

Even the flags with the word "Han" were thrust down, and they were weak. The soldiers on the city changed their expressions, showing nervousness and fear.

Han Fu held his hands tightly, his face turned blue and purple. Beside him were Geng Wu, Min Chun, Li Li, Ju Su, Tian Feng and others.

"Lord, please kill Qu Yi's family to revive people's hearts." Min Chun looked decisive and stepped forward and bowed.

That day Geng Wu persuaded Han Fu to kill Qu Yi's family, but Han Fu did not dare to take action.

Han Fu showed a struggle on his face when he heard this. After a long time, he sighed: "Zhang Xiu is so powerful that the Liangzhou soldiers are fierce. If he leads his troops to attack the city, we may not be able to stop it. Moreover, if he kills Qu Yi's family, Qu Yi will definitely hate us very much. Even if we defend the city, Qu Yi will definitely lead his troops to attack Jizhou in the future, and the war will last for years."

Han Fu's fear was beyond words.

All the ministers showed disappointment. Ju Su was about to speak, but after thinking for a while, An Nai came down. He was captured by Zhang Xiu and had something to say.

"Lord. Although the soldiers in Liangzhou are fierce, they are all cavalry. We defend the city, and there are still 20,000 soldiers who can fight in the city. Zhang Xiu will never be able to attack the city, even if he attacks the city, he will not be able to capture it. Qu Yi betrayed and does not kill Qu Yi's whole family at this moment, I am afraid that the general of Jizhou will be greedy for life and fear death. Then there will be endless troubles."

Li Li said in a deep voice in Zhizhong.

Geng Wu and Tian Feng also made suggestions. They were all loyal ministers with a sense of meaning. Even the officers and soldiers around them showed expectations.

I hope the governor can say a brave and decisive word to boost the morale of the army.

A brave king, of course, listened to the words of loyal ministers. But Han Fu was a weak scholar. After hesitating for a long time, he thought of a reason and said with a high sound: "Everyone is right. But if Zhang Xiu really sends troops to attack the city, even if we keep it, we will suffer heavy losses. The 30,000 vanguard horse and infantry army has been broken. Our strength has been greatly reduced. How can we resist Yuan Shao at that time? The fisherman will benefit from the snipe and clam fight. It is better to make peace with Zhang Xiu and concentrate on dealing with Yuan Shao."

Han Fu's courage was not very good, but he was first-class in making excuses. He blocked the mouths of Tian Feng, Ju Su and others.

Although this reason is excellent, it loses morale. The officers and soldiers around were all disappointed.

The generals were even more volatile.

Qu Yi surrendered on the front line, and not only did his family not be killed, but also was released by Han Fu. Isn’t this meant that it is okay for them to surrender?

The king is the main person who abandons the country, how can a loyal minister stop him?

Han Fu finally ordered the city gate to be opened and Qu Yi's family went out.

The army and horses in the city lost their color, and Han Fu's majesty was wiped out.

During Zhang Xiu's army, Qu Yi was overjoyed when he saw his family coming out. He was grateful to Zhang Xiu again. Zhang Xiu smiled at Qu Yi and then looked up at Gaoyi City.

Although his help to Qu Yi had nothing to do with Yuan Shao, the one who benefited was Yuan Shao.

Han Fu has been ruined with majesty, and Yuan Shao is just around the corner to take over Jizhou.

"Ju Su, Ju Su. I hope you can bring Tian Feng and others to join me." Zhang Xiu finally took a deep look at the people on the top of the city, and then ordered: "Retreat."

Of course, it was impossible for him to lead the cavalry to attack Gaoyi City.

With Zhang Xiu's order, the army turned its head and ran towards Hanoi County.

This battle has been won completely, and now only the final work is left. Wang Kuang, Zhang Yang's dry bones in the tomb. The two counties of Hanoi and Hedong have been manipulated.

.............

Bohai County.

Yuan Shao’s mansion, in the study room. Yuan Shao was wearing white clothes and was reading. He was reading [Han Feizi], but his mind was not on the book, but in the distance.

Since Zhang Xiu conquered Qu Yi and Ju Su, Xu You was also a clever person. He chose a city to defend it with Wen Chou and Yan Liang and did not fight with Zhang Xiu.

News kept coming, Zhang Xiu went to Gaoyi City for Qu Yi and asked Qu Yi's family for Qu Yi.

"If Zhang Xiu attacks Gaoyi City, it will be a battle between snipe and clams. I can lead my troops to attack Gaoyi City and occupy the entire Jizhou County."

"If Han Fu is cowardly and let Qu Yi go, his prestige will be ruined. I will also benefit."

"Anyway, no matter what, you won't suffer any loss."

Thinking that he was about to obtain land in a state, Yuan Shao couldn't help but feel excited.

At this moment, the adviser Guo Tu hurried in from outside and said to Yuan Shao with a happy expression: "Lord. News came from the front. Han Fu released Qu Yi's family, and Zhang Xiu had already withdrawn his troops."

Yuan Shao was ecstatic, and said proudly, "The majesty was ruined." Then he raised his head and said to Guo Tu, "I called myself the governor of Jizhou, and moved my letters to various counties and counties, and ordered all the county magistrates and county magistrates to attack Han Fu."

Before this, Yuan Shao planned to contact Gongsun Zan, and now his plan has changed slightly. He wants to do it himself and take over Jizhou.

"promise."

Guo Tu immediately looked excited and agreed with a loud promise.

"Hehehe." After Guo Tu left, Yuan Shao smiled. He stood up and walked slowly to the door, looking up at the sky.

The sun is in the middle.

It's a good sign.

Yuan Shao's strength was not because of his military use, but because of his huge influence. Yuan Shao could sweep wherever he was.

Yuan Shao can dominate Hebei in Hebei. This is destined and no one can change it. Han Fu has already been so majestic that Yuan Shao does not need a soldier or a soldier, but only sends envoys to the counties and counties of Jizhou.

There are more than 100 cities in Jizhou, of which 70 or 80 immediately betray Han Fu, change the flags, and belong to Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao also ordered Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Xu You, and Shen Pei to lead 50,000 cavalry and infantry troops to send troops to Gaoyi City.

When the news reached Gaoyi City, Han Fu's face looked like a mortal, and he quickly summoned his advisers to discuss countermeasures.

In the hall, Han Fu sat in the main seat, and everyone sat on both sides.

"What should we do now?" Han Fu looked frightened and was at a loss.

His place has become a street, Zhang Xiu has come and left. Yuan Shao has come again, and he wants to stay away.

Han Fu already regretted it. If he had known that people's hearts had changed so quickly, it would be better to be a ferocious person with Zhang Xiu.

Not to mention Han Fu, even the loyal ministers showed disgrace. In the past, Han Fu had prestige and could compete with Yuan Shao. Now most counties in Jizhou have betrayed me. What else can I use to compete with Yuan Shao?

Tian Feng thought about it for a while and said, "Lord. Although the situation is dangerous, there are still 20,000 troops in the city, and you can defend one or two. You might as well send someone to contact Gongsun Zan of Youzhou as a foreign aid and compete with Yuan Shao for the balance."

The rest of the people nodded slightly. When they were weak, foreign players were life-saving medicine.

However, Gongsun Zan is a strong man. Once introduced to Jizhou, he will definitely not leave. Although he is helpful, it is a helpless move.

Han Fu also knew this truth, and he was also very afraid of Gongsun Zan. He was ashamed of his three neighbors, Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan and Dong Zhuo.

After thinking for a while, Han Fu shook his head and said, "There are wolves in front and tigers in the back. If you are cheaper, it is better to be cheaper than wolves. If there is really no way, I will give Jizhou to Yuan Shao. After all, I have some connection with Yuan. Yuan Shao probably won't harm me."

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other for a while, trying to speak, but they felt that there was nothing to say. They could only sigh.

Han Fu was really discouraged, so he waved his hand and let everyone go down. As soon as he walked out of the gate, Ju Su turned his head and looked at everyone.

The others were a little strange, but they had a good relationship with each other. Unlike Yuan Shao, the counselors fought for power and profit, and their power was like water and fire.

Everyone looked at each other, followed Ju Shu and left the gate, boarded a carriage, and headed to Ju Shu's mansion.

After arriving at the mansion, Ju Su invited everyone to the study room to sit down. He also ordered his confidant servant to take care of him outside and did not allow anyone to come in.

This situation seems to be a conspiracy.
