Tian Chou led his soldiers and horses to the camp of Feixiang Army. Looking at the unruly Feixiang Army, his eyes were full of anger.
"Sir, what does this mean? What does it mean?"
Feixiang Military Academy Lieutenant Zhang Bing saw Tian Chou, frowned and asked him.
"Zhang Bing, if my lord dies and you live, what do you mean by me?"
Tian Chou stared at Zhang Bing, his murderous intent clearly visible to the naked eye.
"Sir, do you think we want to live alone? If our lord hadn't killed himself in front of the battle, and if we hadn't still had our lord's death, would we have returned to Ji County?"
Hearing Tian Chou's words, Zhang Bing was also furious. What the hell is going on? What the hell is going on?
"Zhang Bing, you still dare to be arrogant, believe it or not, I will kill you right now."
Military Academy Che Ping looked at Zhang Bing and drew the knife directly.
"Come on, kill me. If I frown, I'm not a man."
Zhang Bing also frowned and roared at Che Ping.
"Zhang Bing, tell me the whole story of that day."
"good."
Zhang Bing also put down his anger and told everything about the ambush in Zhanping that day, Wei You's death, Xian Yuyin's death, Liu Yu's suicide, and his intention to give up Youzhou Zen to Yuan Shu.
"Did the Lord really say that?"
Tian Chou's eyes turned red, staring at Zhang Bing like a man-eating beast.
"It's absolutely true. All the officers and soldiers of the Feixiang Army can testify."
"Old thief Gongsun, I swear we will never live together."
Tian Chou made a puff and knelt on the ground again.
"Old thief Gongsun, I have nothing in common with you."
"Swear not to share the same fate."
"Kill the thief, kill the thief."
For a time, all the soldiers in Jixian knelt down on one knee, looking up to the sky and roaring.
"Zhang Bing, I wrongly blamed you."
After doing all this, Tian Chou came to Zhang Bing and personally helped him untie the rope.
"Sir, it doesn't have to be like this. Zhang Bing is indeed guilty and failed to protect the safety of our lord."
Zhang Bing also had tears in his eyes.
"Zhang Bing, I will give you a mission now. Lead the Feixiang Army to Jizhou immediately and ask for help from Yuan Shu."
"Swear to the death to complete the mission."
Zhang Bing knocked his head to the ground.
"Okay, the entire army is on alert, waiting for Yuan Shu to arrive."
"promise."
The city of Ji County was heavily fortified, but Gongsun Zan was helpless outside the city with thousands of white horse followers.
"My lord, Jixian was not captured, what should we do next?"
Yan Gang glanced at Ji County, his eyes full of loneliness.
"Hey, it's up to people to plan things, and it's up to God to make things happen. If Jixian is not captured, there is nothing we can do. I have no idea what to do next."
Gongsun Zan also shook his head, not knowing what to do.
"My lord, it is better to abandon Jixian now and return to Yuyang. After capturing Yuyang, we will divide our troops to Youbeiping. After digesting these two counties, we can slowly plan for them."
Yan Gang's words require stability. As long as they can capture Yuyang, even if Yuan Shu comes to attack, they can still resist it with the strength of their cavalry.
"No, if Yuan Shu is allowed to capture Youzhou, then we will have no hope of turning around."
Gongsun Zan shook his head. If it was true as Yan Gang said, although he could survive for a while now, there would be no hope in the future.
"What should we do now?"
Yan Gang is also helpless, and is now in a dilemma.
"I divided my troops and went to various counties. I told him that Liu Yu had been killed and Jixian County had been captured by me. I ordered him to surrender quickly."
The only way to download Gongsun Zan is to lie and coax. If he can capture these other counties in Youzhou, he will not be afraid even if Yuan Shu comes.
"That's all it can do."
Yan Gang nodded.
"Well, let's do it quickly."
"promise."
Just as Gongsun Zan and Yan Gang were discussing countermeasures, a flying horse rushed directly into Lecheng County, the county seat of Hejian County.
"My lord, a report came from the front line. Youzhou Mu committed suicide in front of the battle. All 80,000 soldiers and horses were wiped out. At the same time, Liu Yu sent an order to welcome the lord as Youzhou Mu and hand over Youzhou to the lord for governance."
"Lord, the time has come, and there is an unexpected surprise."
After listening to the scout's words, Xun Chen's eyes flashed with color. He really didn't expect that Liu Yu would leave such a will before his death.
Yuan Shu also nodded, but he didn't expect that everything was exactly as Xun Chen said, and Liu Yu died in the battle.
"My lord, first ask Gao Lan about the movements of his troops and ask him to stop going to Tuyin and lead his troops to Kuiping immediately.
The Xianden army abandoned Tuyin and marched directly towards Wuzhong County. The 30,000 militiamen marched from Hejian to Wuzhong and joined the Xianden army to block Gongsun Zan's retreat."
Order the Yingyang Army to be the vanguard to attack Quanzhou, and at the same time, the Polu Army, the Huwei Army, and the Wei Army will form the center and will arrive shortly afterwards."
"Order Xun You's Western Route Army to stop the attack and go directly to Ji County of Yan State under the banner of the lord. After taking over Youzhou, he led his troops eastward to attack Yuyang Gongsun Zan."
The so-called opportunity is fleeting. Since Liu Yu decided to cede Youzhou to Yuan Shu, the original plan to attack the western counties is no longer needed. The top priority now is to flank Gongsun Zan and leave him in Yuyang.
Xun Chen acted according to the opportunity, and Yuan Shu also nodded.
The top three heroes of the Xun family are not just for nothing. Xun Yu knew how powerful he was as early as the history books. Not to mention Xun You single-handedly planned the Jizhou Revolution. As Xun Chen's brother, he was Yuan Shao's chief adviser in his previous life, and now he is his
An opportunity to show off your talents.
"Give an order."
"promise."
Yuan Shu's general orders were sent out one by one, and the original plan was completely disrupted. All troops and horses also quickly changed their directions after receiving the news.
Gao Lan's prairie cavalry rushed southward from the north toward Kuengping.
Ju Yi gathered all the carriages in Zhangwu County, and 3,000 people rushed directly to Wu Ending. The remaining troops and horses also adjusted their directions and rushed towards Wu End.
Zhao Yun's Yingyang Army rushed towards Quanzhou as fast as lightning. At the same time, Yuan Shu's main army got on the chariot, with the Polu Army taking the lead, the Huwei Army following behind, and the Guards finally galloping towards Quanzhou.
The Eastern Route Army went berserk, as did Xun You's West Route Army. With the Xiliang Army as the forerunner, Xun You followed closely with a militia of 50,000 people, crossed the border between You and Hebei, approached Fanyang County, and headed towards Ji County of Yan State.
Yuan Shu was on the move, but Gongsun Zan didn't stop either. A group of 300 soldiers and horses went to the four counties of Fanyang, Daijun, Shanggu, and Zhuozhou respectively. He wanted to capture these counties as quickly as possible and form a copper wall to block Yuan Shu at the border.
above.
For seven days, except for the fierce fighting in Yuyang County, everything was mysteriously calm, but the calmer it was, the more it proved that the stormy seas that were to come were coming.
"Yan Gang, is there any news?"
Jixian did not steal the victory, and there was no need for Gongsun Zan to wait there. He left 3,000 troops to pretend to besieging the city, and then returned to Yuyang County with more than 20,000 troops to direct the siege there.
"No."
Yan Gang shook his head. There was no news at all about the troops they sent to persuade him to surrender.
"I don't know what Yuan Shu's situation is now. Is there anything going on in Quanzhou?"
Quanzhou was Yuan Shu's first stop on his way north. Although he didn't station many troops there, he sent a lot of scouts.
