The Beiping Army in Bohai and Pingyuan counties was forcibly cut off from the rear base camp and was in a difficult situation.

After defeating the large forces in Peiping, the main force of the Jizhou Army pursued them fiercely and chased them northward. The Youzhou Peiping Army rushed south for rescue, but was firmly blocked by Lu Bu's army in Zhangwu County, the northernmost part of the Bohai Sea. Peiping's reinforcements

They attacked Zhangwu fiercely, while Lu Bu defended tightly. A fierce battle broke out between the two armies in Zhangwu County. Zhangwu City was riddled with holes and blood flowed under the city. However, the demon-like flying generals blocked the Peking reinforcements and prevented the Peking troops from going south.

Peking's reinforcements could not get through, and the remnants of the Peiping army in the Bohai and plains were retreating steadily under the overwhelming attack of the Jizhou army. Gongsun Zan had no choice but to lead the remaining troops to fight and retreat, moving closer to the border of Youzhou.

In just over twenty days, the Bohai Sea and the Plain returned to the embrace of Yuan Shao.

The remnants of Gongsun Zan, who desperately fled north, had not reached Zhangwu to join forces with Peiping reinforcements. Jizhou reinforcements had already arrived at Zhangwu, and Lu Bu received timely reinforcements.

When Gongsun Zan heard the news, his first reaction was that he didn't believe it at all.

Gongsun Zan had been in northern Xinjiang for many years and made the northern barbarians frightened when they heard about General Baima. He was obviously a man who knew how to fight. The Peking Army and the Jizhou Army fought fiercely. It was no secret what cards the two sides had. He knew exactly how many troops the Jizhou Army had.

In the battle in the southern part of the Bohai Sea, the Jizhou Army basically went out in full force, completely in a decisive and desperate posture. Otherwise, Gongsun Zan would not have dispatched a large number of troops to the front line, leaving the rear relatively empty and Lu Bu's surprise attack.

The fall of Zhangwucheng was due to the omission of Lu Bu's presence.

Lu Bu's defection to Yuan Shao just happened, and the Peking Army didn't even hear any news before the war.

Although there are not many of Lu Bu's direct descendants left, Lu Bu's personal bravery has a huge impact on the army. Invincible generals on local battlefields can intimidate the opponent, and coupled with surprise attacks, it is not surprising that he can kill the generals cleanly and capture the city.

The Jizhou army that attacked Zhangwu had a small force, about 3,000 men, most of whom were from the Jizhou army. In order to block the onslaught of reinforcements from Peiping, Lu Bu had to let hundreds of his direct descendants who had followed him escape from Chang'an go into battle. This shows that Yuan Shao did not have any more troops.

Give him more troops.

In this case, how could the Jizhou Army still have reinforcements to reinforce Zhang Wu?

But the following intelligence confirmed that Zhangwucheng had indeed received reinforcements.

The county garrison has at least five thousand troops, and intelligence shows that reinforcements are constantly marching towards Zhangwu City. The Jizhou Army obviously intends to block the remnants of the Peiping Army from returning to Youzhou. By the time Gongsun Zan's remnants arrive in Zhangwu County, it is estimated that the Jizhou Army has already

A copper wall and an iron wall were built on the border of Jiyou.

——It was later learned that Yuan Shao had indeed dispatched his entire army to fight the Peking Army. Those reinforcements were sent by Tian Feng, who was stationed in Yecheng, to coerce and lure the private soldiers of Jizhou's powerful families. Although doing so offended the powerful forces, Jizhou Prefecture was still fighting against Peking.

The army is at a disadvantage in the struggle, and the situation is grim. Tian Feng does not have so many scruples. As long as "borrowing" private soldiers can improve the victory rate of the Jizhou Army, Tian Feng will not blink when he issues orders. Private soldiers of wealthy families are not in the ranks of the Jizhou Army.

Gongsun Zan naturally couldn't guess it.

A few months ago, Gongsun Zan won the Battle of Longcuo and the Battle of Jumashui. His troops were invincible and he took the Bohai Sea and the Plain into his hands, forming a siege on Yuan Shao. The hegemony of Hebei seemed to be within easy reach, and he was about to reach the pinnacle of his life.

.Unexpectedly, just when Gongsun Zan was most proud, a heavy blow came. The Peking Army suffered a disastrous defeat. The elite, loyal and brave Baima Yicon were wiped out. On the way to escape, they were intercepted in front and pursued behind. Such a huge contrast.

, even Gongsun Zan could not bear it. He was so worried and angry that he vomited blood and fainted.

The enemy blocked the front and pursued them, suffering heavy losses. All the elite troops were killed, and the general vomited blood and fell into a coma...

In a desperate situation, the more than 4,000 remnants of the Peking Army trapped in Jizhou miraculously did not collapse. Gongsun Fan and Zou Dan led the remnants to protect the commander and continued to flee north. It is not possible to escape northward, but it is certain to stay in Jizhou.

He was swallowed up by the pursuers and died without a burial place.

Yuan Shao was not willing to miss the opportunity to kill Gongsun Zan, so he ordered his troops to pursue him.

Chasing to the foot of Zhangwu City,

The county seat was still in Lu Bu's hands, but Gongsun Zan was nowhere to be seen.

Lu Bu opened the city to meet the Jizhou army and told Yuan Shao that the remnants of the Peiping army had not passed through Zhangwu!

The counselors and generals of Jizhou Prefecture looked at each other in confusion: with Lu Bu blocking him in the north, a large army pursuing him in the south, the sea to the east, and the sphere of influence of Jizhou Prefecture to the west, how could Gongsun Zan disappear without anyone noticing?

The depression and Feng Ji who went out with the army were the first to come to their senses: the sea!

There are Jizhou Army troops on three sides, and the scouts dare not slack off day and night. It is impossible for the Peiping Army to disappear out of thin air, let alone an army of several thousand people. The only possibility is to escape from the encirclement by sea and return to Youzhou territory.

We quickly sent people to investigate along the coast, and it turned out to be true.

The remnants of the Peking Army set sail northward with the support of a fleet, just half a day before Yuan Shao's army arrived!

When he received the news, Yuan Shao's face was ashen.

He finally blocked Gongsun Zan in Jizhou. As long as he was killed, no one in Hebei could compete with him. Then he unified the forces in Hebei and sent his troops south to compete with the heroes in Henan. He swept the Central Plains and achieved great achievements. Unexpectedly, Gongsun Zan took the sea route.

Escape, the cooked duck flies away, is tolerable, but what is unbearable!

"Who rescued Gongsun Zan?"

"I don't know, that fleet didn't fly a flag..."

"Check! There is no water division in Peiping, we must investigate and get to the bottom of it!" Yuan Shao said angrily.

"promise."

Zhululing, City Lord’s Office.

As soon as Yu Buzhi went online, he received an unexpected "surprise".

"Zixi secretly collaborated with Zhanjiao Camp to pick up Grand Administrator Gongsun?" Yu Buzhi was shocked.

"Exactly." Xu Shu looked solemn, this incident also made him feel headache.

Feiyu collar is located in Zhangwu County.

Gongsun Zan treated Qu Chen very well. Qu Chen was a warm-blooded man who knew how to repay his kindness. If he had not formed a sworn relationship with Yu Bu Zhi first, he would have gone to the Peking Army to become a cavalry general. Gongsun Zan was in trouble and his life was hanging by a thread. He just happened to escape to

Near Feiyu Leader, if Qu Chen could just sit back and watch, he would no longer be Qu Chen. Once Qu Chen decided to save Gongsun Zan, it would be very easy for him to convince Gan Ning. The two had a good personal relationship, and Gan Ning was fearless.

Qu Chen, an unafraid young man, begged him to save people out of kindness. If Gan Ning didn't help, where would he put his face in the future?

After rescuing the people, the two returned to Feiyu Territory and tied themselves up to plead guilty to Xu Shu.

But the catastrophe caused by rescuing Gongsun Zan was obviously not something that the two of them could resolve by binding themselves.

Not to be directly involved in the struggle for hegemony in Hebei is a basic principle established by Zhulu Ling very early on.

Not helping Gongsun Zan, nor helping Yuan Shao, is the key to whether Feiyu Leader can continue to gain a foothold in Jizhou.

No matter how advantageous the Feiyu Territory's geographical location is, it will never gain any advantage if it breaks up with the local princes. Even if the other side is not willing to pay heavy casualties for an attack, it only needs to send troops to guard the periphery and block the Feiyu Territory's normal communication with the outside world. The Feiyu Territory will not be able to take advantage of it.

Let's go. Even if Yu Buzhi is no longer an ordinary player, but a player prince, the fact that Feiyu is in Jizhou will not change after all.

Regarding this point, not only Zhuo Luling was clear about it, but Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan were also clear about it.

Ordinary player forces are protected by the system, and NPC princes cannot force player forces to take sides.

Yu Wuzhi joins the ranks of the princes, and he can follow the standards of the princes, and fight whomever he helps, all in one thought. Of course, if the Zhulu leader continues to remain neutral, Beiping and Jizhou will have nothing to say.

The Feiyu leaders sent out the navy to rescue Gongsun Zan, violating their always-held neutral stance.

The Peking Army was defeated miserably, and when Bohai returned to Jizhou Prefecture, Feiyu Leader's actions were simply causing trouble.
