Yuan Qi rode his horse to the front of Lu Xin and shouted at Lu Xin.
"Better death than surrender, kill."
Although he was in a desperate situation, Lu Xin did not give up at all. He waved his steel sword and rushed towards Yuan Qi. Behind him were more than a hundred yellow scarves who were not afraid of death.
"If you are stubborn, let go of the arrow."
Yuan Qi shook his head, then waved his hand gently, and the archers who were already ready shot countless wolf-fang arrows directly.
Lu Xin and the Yellow Turbans under his command were all killed by arrows.
"They are warriors, and they should be buried richly."
So far, Sima Ju's 60,000 troops and horses were completely wiped out, except for the 20,000 partial troops who went north to Leling, and the 40,000 troops.
"Lord, all the Yellow Turbans who went north have been killed. The bandit leader Sima Ju was captured. Forty thousand Yellow Turbans were defeated by Ji Ling. The other 20,000 Yellow Turbans were wiped out by Ying Yang's army."
Taking the battle report from Ji Ling, Ju Shou came directly to report to Yuan Shu.
"Okay, reward Ji Ling and Zhao Yun as much as they deserve. At the same time, pay close attention to the trends of the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou."
Although Yuan Shu didn't know when Liu Dai died, he clearly remembered that Liu Dai was killed by the Yellow Turbans of Qingzhou. After Liu Dai's death, Boss Cao became the shepherd of Yanzhou with the support of Bao Xin and other Yanzhou powerful men.
Since then, it has soared into the sky and is out of control.
"My lord, Liu Yu has envoys asking to see you."
The sudden arrival of a messenger interrupted Yuan Shu's words.
"Liu Yu? Could it be that there is a change in Youzhou? Move quickly."
Upon hearing Liu Yu's messenger, Yuan Shu's expression changed. To be honest, Cao Cao was still a rookie. Yuan Shao was fighting against Yangzhou and Jingzhou. Heishan had just been wiped out again. The only one who could make him scratch his head was Gongsun Zan in the north.
Although Gongsun Zan lost 20,000 elite troops when he attacked Jizhou, he still had at least 30,000 to 40,000 elite troops, including nearly 20,000 cavalry, who was definitely a formidable enemy.
"Tianchou, Youzhou, pays homage to Yuan Shu and Yuan Zhoumu."
Hearing the man's introduction, Yuan Shu couldn't help but be startled. He knew Tian Chou somewhat. He was not only knowledgeable, but also very resourceful. Cao Cao came up with a clever plan to defeat Wuhuan, and finally helped him defeat Wuhuan in one fell swoop.
"Tian Chou, what do you mean when you come to Jizhou?"
There was no need for Yuan Shu to speak, but Ju Shou asked.
"Yuan Zhoumu and Gongsun Zan led an army of fifty thousand and stormed Yuyang County. Liu Zhoumu sent me to ask you to send troops."
Tian Chou got straight to the point.
"Gongsun Zan stormed Yuyang County?"
Yuan Shu was stunned. According to the historical trajectory, it would take two or three years for the two to fight. Moreover, it was Liu Yu who attacked Gongsun Zan and was then killed. Why did Gongsun Zan take the initiative instead?
It seems that my butterfly has begun to change the trajectory of history. It is very likely that Liu Dai will die soon and Cao Cao will take advantage of the situation to rise in Yanzhou. I should be more careful.
If Liu Dai died, Liu Bei would be able to use this steel sword. Thinking about Boss Cao and Liu Da'er competing for supremacy in Yanzhou, he was excited.
"That's right, they have captured all five counties of Yuyang, Pinggu, Luxian, Yongnu, Quanzhou and Huqiu. They are now storming the Yuyang government office. Please send your troops to advance north to Youbeiping to contain them.
Gongsun Zan."
Tian Chou followed Yuan Shu to Kanyu and pointed out the current situation in Yuyang to him.
"Tian Zhizhang and Liu Zhoumu casually asked us to send troops to attack Gongsun Zan. Have you ever thought about the consequences of doing so?"
Looking at the panicked Tian Chou, Ju Shou smiled slightly and shook his head.
"Don't be afraid, sir, Gongsun Zan is a lone wolf in the north. Although we, Liu Zhoumu, have the desire to control wolves, we do not have the power to capture them.
If Yuyang County is really torn away by Gongsun Zan, his strength will grow exponentially, and not only Youzhou will not be spared, I am afraid that Jizhou will also be exposed to Gongsun Zan."
After Tian Chou finished speaking, he paused for a moment, and then turned his gaze to Yuan Shu.
"Yuan Zhoumu, his lips are dead and his teeth are cold."
Everyone present knew and understood what Tian Chou said, but almost no one would do anything to help a fool.
"It's an exaggeration to say that the land is vast and rich, and the resources in Jizhou are far beyond what Youzhou can match. Even if Gongsun Zan captures Yuyang County, Yan Kingdom, and the entire Youzhou County, it will be nothing for us."
This time Jushou did not speak. Instead, Xun You's eyes lit up and he spoke to refute Tian Chou.
"Jizhou has a vast territory and rich resources, but Youzhou is connected to the outside of the Great Wall. If Gongsun Zan really gets Youzhou, the cavalry under his command will expand rapidly. Even if Yuanzhou has more troops and horses, it will be difficult to resist the countless cavalry."
However, Tian Chou's eyes flashed and he started to criticize Xun You.
"That's wrong. It will take at least three years for Youzhou to increase cavalry in an organized manner. In three years, you know what the situation will be like in Jizhou. If nothing else, the cavalry will be at least 50,000 and the elite soldiers will be at least a dozen.
Wan, I dare to ask how Youzhou can resist."
Tian Feng stood up and said to his boss Tian Chou.
Everyone knows that Yuan Shu has four great counselors. Jushu and Tian Feng are the dragons of Jizhou. Xun You and Xun Chen are the tigers of Yingchuan. It is only through the combined efforts of the four that Yuan Shu has achieved what he has achieved. Now three of the four are against him.
Things are difficult.
"Mr. Yuan, it is said that the enemy must be eliminated as early as possible and the enemy must be suppressed while he is young. Suppressing Gongsun Zan is the most important thing now. Sir, please think again."
Tian Chou thought for a while, it was difficult to fool a wise man, so it would be better to start with Yuan Shu.
"Tian Zheng, there is no free delicacy in the world. If you want Jizhou to send troops to fight against Gongsun Zan, Liuzhou Mu must give him something."
Seeing the awkward situation, Xun Chen exchanged glances with the three of them, then nodded and spoke.
As early as when Tian Chou said that Gongsun Zan stormed Yuyang, the four of them had already communicated with each other with their eyes.
It is necessary to send troops, but it is really stupid to send troops so hastily. Therefore, three of the four people are playing the bad side, so naturally Xun Chen can only play the red face.
"Liu Zhoumu is willing to give 30,000 dan of military rations and 5,000 sets of ordnance to Yuan Zhoumu as a thank you gift."
Tian Chou looked at Xun Chen and directly gave Liu Yu's quotation.
"Haha, 30,000 dan of military rations and 5,000 sets of ordnance. Does Jizhou seem to be short of these things?"
When Jushou heard Tian Chou's words, he couldn't help but sneer.
"Then I dare to ask Mr. Bijia, how much is enough."
Everyone knows the so-called asking for a high price and then paying back the money on the ground. Next, it depends on how much Yuan Shu and the others ask for.
"At least 500,000 dan of military rations, 50,000 sets of ordnance, and 50,000 war horses. We will immediately mobilize the troops and horses to go north, capture Youbeiping, and give it to Mr. Zhou Mu."
Jushou Shizi opened his mouth, not to mention Tianchou, even Yuan Shu was shocked. The military rations were 500,000 dan, the weapons were 50,000 sets, and the war horses were 50,000. This was no longer a bargain, but an extortion.
Guoguo's blackmail.
"It's unreasonable, it's simply unreasonable. If Mr. Zhou Mu doesn't want to rescue him, just say so. Why bother with Tian?"
Jushu's words made Tian Chou feel deeply insulted. If Liu Yu had 500,000 stones of military rations, 50,000 sets of armor, and 50,000 war horses, he would have slapped Gongsun Zan to death, and he still begs you in such a lowly manner.
Seeing Tian Chou about to leave, Ju Shou smiled slightly.
"Zitai, you have to walk faster, otherwise if Yuyang is lost, Yan will be next."
