Three days later, Yuan Shu, under the banner of getting rid of the treacherous Bingzhou Shepherd Dong Zhuo, proclaimed himself the Bingzhou Shepherd and swore the oath in Xindu. At the same time, he wrote a message to all directions, and even sent a letter to Chang'an.
After taking the oath, Yuan Shu led the Yingyang Army, the Weilu Army (prairie cavalry), and the Guards, a total of 60,000 people, and marched toward Changshan County in a mighty manner.
For this ultimate goal, Yuan Shu spared no expense and recruited enough carriages to transport soldiers and military supplies. Wen Chou and Ju Yi had gone to Changshan County with a militia group of 30,000 people as early as a month ago to prepare.
Yuan Shu's troops marched out of Changshan. As the protagonist of the incident, Shangdang Prefect Zhang Yang was at a loss until a civil servant came to the Prefect's Mansion with his message.
"Sir, it's not good."
"Why are you panicking?"
Zhang Yang looked at his panicked subordinates and frowned involuntarily.
"The troops are sent out, the troops are sent out."
The civil servant looked at the frowning Zhang Yang and swallowed involuntarily.
"Who sent troops? Cao Mengde and Liu Xuande fought? Or Lu Fengxian and Niu Fu? Or Yuan Benchu and Liu Jingsheng?"
The words of the civil servant made Zhang Yang's brows twist into the Chinese character "Sichuan". Although Bingzhou is a place where birds don't shit, as a local bully, he still cares about his own three-acre land, so he is very concerned about world affairs.
"No, it's Jizhou Mu Yuan Shu, he sent troops."
The civil servant shook his head.
"Yuan Jiujiu has sent troops? The Central Plains is very lively now. It is estimated that Cao Mengde and Liu Xuande will be driven out of Yanzhou."
When he heard that it was Yuan Shu who was sending troops, Zhang Yang's frown relaxed.
"It's not Yanzhou."
The civil servant shook his head again.
"Is that Qingzhou? It seems that Kong Beihai is going to be devastated."
In Zhang Yang's eyes, Yuan Shu sent troops to either Yanzhou or Qingzhou.
"No, forget it, I don't dare to say, sir, you'd better see for yourself."
The civil servant shook his head again, then took out a crumpled piece of writing paper from his arms and handed it to Zhang Yang's hand.
"Um?"
Zhang Yang doubtfully took the paper from the civil servant and slowly unfolded it.
"You say I am a remnant of Dong Zhuo, how dare Yuan Gongdao bully me like this."
The paper handed over by the civil servant was actually Yuan Shu's appeal to the West. After reading it in a hurry, Zhang Yang overturned the table in front of him and roared loudly.
"Sir, what should we do now?"
Seeing Zhang Yang's appearance, the civil servant's original fear became even more frightening.
"What should I do? How do I know what to do? Immediately summon civil and military officials to come to the prefect's mansion to discuss the matter."
Zhang Yang was like an angry lion, his fierce eyes scanning the civil servants in front of him.
"promise."
The civil servant was caught by Zhang Yang and trembled immediately. He quickly knelt down and ran out the door.
After a while, all the civil and military officials under Zhang Yang gathered at the prefecture. Among the civil officials were Cao Wei Zhongchen, who is now the Shangdang chief secretary Dong Zhao, and among the military officers there were two generals Yang Chou and Mu Shun, as well as the chief official Zhang Yu and others.
"Lord, why are you so alarmed and calling us here?"
As Zhang Yang's confidant general, Mu Shun was the first to speak to him about the news.
"Yuan Jiujiu, the pastor of Jizhou, established himself as the pastor of Bingzhou. Under the banner of eradicating the remnants of Dong Zhuo and returning the soul of the great Han Langlang, he swore an oath in Xindu and sent an army of 200,000 to attack Bingzhou from the west."
As soon as Zhang Yang said these words, everyone's expressions changed.
"Sir, is this true?"
Dong Zhao looked at Zhang Yang and couldn't help but frowned.
"It's absolutely true, there is a message here."
Zhang Yang nodded heavily.
"My lord, Yuan Gongluo has a strong army and strong horses, and his attack on Bingzhou will be a disaster. Why don't we surrender? At least we can maintain peace for the rest of our lives."
Chang Yu, the chief official, swallowed his saliva and trembled as he suggested surrender.
"Chang Yu, if you dare to talk nonsense about surrender again, I won't pick you.
My lord, Yuan Shu has gone too far in bullying others, and Mu Shun is willing to be the vanguard and kill him off his horse."
When he heard that Yuan Shu was actually coming to attack him, Mu Shun, who was the Iron Spear King of the Shangdang, was the first to give up. He immediately stood up and challenged Zhang Yang to fight.
"General Mushun, please be patient."
Dong Zhao also stood up and cupped his fists towards Mu Shun.
"Hmph, Dong Gongren, Yuan Shu has already ridden on our heads to shit, how can I bear it?"
Mu Shun, on the other hand, was nothing like Dong Zhao.
"Mu Shun, sit down."
Zhang Yang glared at Mu Shun, who sat down aggrievedly.
"Gongren, if you have anything to say, just say it."
After drinking Mu Shun, Zhang Yang turned his attention to Dong Zhao again.
"Sir, Yuan Shu came here under the banner of crusade against the remnants of Dong Zhuo. I think this may be an opportunity for us."
A ray of light flashed in Dong Zhao's eyes.
"how do I say this?"
Zhang Yang was completely dumbfounded after hearing Dong Zhao's words. The enemy was about to press forward with troops, but you still said it was an opportunity?
"Sir, it is bitterly cold in Bingzhou, but besides Shangdang County, there is another place that can be called a treasure. Didn't Yuan Shu come to the west under the banner of attacking the remnants of Dong's thieves? I think we can take this opportunity to capture Taiyuan County in one fell swoop.
, with the power of the two counties, even if we lose to Yuan Shu, we will at least be able to protect ourselves."
As the saying goes, mediocre people see fear in the face of crisis, but wise people see opportunities in crisis.
"Gongren, please tell me in detail."
Dong Zhao's words made Zhang Yang instantly interested.
"Sir, what do you think Wang Qiu, the prefect of Taiyuan, thinks now?"
Dong Zhao did not express his thoughts directly, but asked Wang Qiu, the prefect of Taiyuan.
"You are the king of football, as soon as Yuan Jiujiu's message comes out, he will definitely change his tune and join the past."
Hearing Dong Zhao's words, Zhang Yang couldn't help but sneer, he had always looked down upon Wang Qiu.
"So this is our opportunity."
Dong Zhao smiled and once again said something that puzzled Zhang Yang.
"Gongren, if you have anything to do, explain it in one go. Don't hide it."
"Haha, sir, my plan is actually very simple, that is, Li Daitao is dead and sends people under the banner of Yuan Shu to defraud Taiyuan County."
When Dong Zhao opened his mouth, there was a muffled thunder, which made everyone's skin charred and tender.
"Dong Gongren, Dong Gongren, you usually think of yourself as a smart person, but you didn't expect that you turned out to be an idiot."
Mu Shun suddenly burst into laughter. In his opinion, what Dong Zhao said was simply a joke.
"General Mu, why are you slandering me? Dong Zhao's sword has also seen blood."
Hearing Mu Shun's ridicule, Dong Zhao raised his eyebrows and was about to have a fit.
"Taiyuan County is only bigger than Shangdang County. You can deceive it under the banner of Yuan Shu? Do you really think that Wang Qiu and the civil and military men under him are just a living thing?
If you can tell such a bad plan, what else is it but a fool? If you ask me, it is very simple to take over Taiyuan County. It can be achieved with 20,000 strong soldiers."
Mu Shun didn't even look at Dong Zhao. Your sword had seen blood, how could it kill more souls than my spear?
"With the courage of an ordinary man, whether Taiyuan County can deceive the king does not depend on the king's ball, but on the people's hearts."
