Yuan Shu directly helped Taishi Ci up, with a little excitement in his eyes. He was a little lucky to be able to get Taishi Ci so easily.
"Thank you, Lord."
"Okay, Ziyi will stay with me for now, until the army enters the city."
"promise."
Under the leadership of Tian Feng, Yuan Shu's army entered Chenliu City directly.
"Yuan Hao, how is the situation in Sizhou now?"
Entering the city, Yuan Shu sat in the prefect's mansion. Dian Wei and Tai Shi Ci stood behind Yuan Shu like two door gods.
"My lord, the situation in Sizhou is still the same. Each one is doing his own thing. And after you took the oath, Wang Kuang, the governor of Hanoi, sent people to surrender to my lord."
Tian Feng directly read the news of Wang Kuang's surrender to Yuan Shu.
"Wang Kuang is still aware of current affairs. Since he surrendered, don't embarrass him. It happens that the Han Emperor also needs someone to accompany him. When the time comes, let him go to Jizhou to accompany the emperor."
Yuan Shu nodded. Wang Kuang's surrender was actually expected by him. After all, it is impossible for him to resist with his own strength now that he has strong troops and horses. This is not only the case for Wang Kuang, but also for other counties in Sizhou. After all, they are not unified.
Instead, they were working on their own, and they were so weak that they had no other choice but to surrender.
"promise."
After the army rested, Yuan Shu mobilized Tian Feng's 40,000 troops, and a total of 100,000 troops left Chenliu County and headed for Hanoi.
All the counties where Yuan Shu's army passed had their cities opened, and he led his army to Huai County, the seat of Hanoi, without any effort.
"Wang Kuang brought Hanoi civil and military officials to pay homage to your lord."
Wang Kuang led people ten miles out of the city to greet him. When he saw Yuan Shu arriving, he immediately bent down and saluted to express his allegiance.
"Brother Gongjie, long time no see, you still have the same style."
Yuan Shu got out of the car and talked to Wang Kuang.
"I can't do it anymore. I'm old and my body often has problems now."
After hearing Yuan Shu's words, Wang Kuang shook his head.
"Then don't worry about these miscellaneous things. His Majesty just arrived in Jizhou. How about you go and accompany your Majesty?"
Looking at Wang Kuang, Yuan Shu directly expressed his thoughts.
"That's very good. I just want to see the prosperity of Jizhou and accompany our Emperor."
Wang Kuang said this to Yuan Shu not out of condescension, but because he was really tired. Seeing others getting into trouble, he still stayed in this three-acre land in Hanoi.
It is better to retreat bravely and earn a fortune for the descendants of your family.
"Well, that's it. Let's go into the city."
"I'll lead the way."
The army marched directly into Huai County. The next day, after Wang Kuang directly announced that he would give up the position of governor, he took his wife, children, and children north to Jizhou. In this way, Yuan Shu not only opened the door to Sili, but also gained 20,000 troops under Wang Kuang's command.
After taking Hanoi County, Yuan Shu directly sent envoys to the various counties in Sili and ordered the prefects of each county to come to Hanoi County to discuss matters.
It is said that they are coming to Hanoi County to discuss matters. In fact, it is just to see the attitudes of the various governors. As long as they come here at this time, it indicates that they are willing to surrender to you. If they do not come at this time, they are enemies, and they will fight next.
Soon the prefects of Henan Yin, Hedong County, and Hongnong County all saw Yuan Shu's envoy. When they heard that Yuan Shu summoned them to go to Hanoi County to discuss matters, they each hesitated, but in the end they sighed and rushed towards Hanoi County with their carriages and horses.
.
When Yuan Shu took over Sili Xiaowei, Fan Chou and Zhang Ji also led the army through Huayin and formally entered Tongguan.
The prefects of the three counties gathered in Hanoi County, and after seeing Yuan Shu, they all expressed their willingness to surrender. Yuan Shu also repeated his old trick, asking all the prefects to go to Jizhou to play with the Han emperor, and then sent people to the three counties to accept their soldiers and lands, and then
The army did not stop and went directly to Hongnong County.
"General, the four counties of Sizhou have all surrendered to Yuan Shu. Now he has led his army to leave Hanoi County and come to the east of Hedong."
Soon, scouts brought the news about Captain Sili to Zhang Ji and Fan Chou.
"These rubbish."
Hearing the news from the scouts, Fan Chou couldn't help but cursed inwardly. How could Sili Xiaowei have four counties and more than 100,000 troops, yet he surrendered without a fight in the face of Yuan Shu? He was really angry.
"Now is not the time to dwell on that. We may be in trouble next. Yuan Shu's Jizhou Army is not only unparalleled in field battles, but is also excellent in siege. Although Tongguan is dangerous, we must resist with all our strength."
Zhang Ji glanced at Fan Chou and directly expressed his worries.
"It's okay. When the soldiers come, they will block it, and when the water comes, the earth will cover it up. It's okay if Yuan Shu doesn't come. If he comes, I will avenge the battle that year."
Facing Zhang Ji, Fan Chou was not worried at all. When the eighteen princes attacked Dong Zhi, he was defeated by Yuan Shu and lost his armor. He had long wanted to avenge this battle.
"Haha, the general is mighty."
Looking at Fan Chou, Zhang Ji could only smile and had nothing to say.
"Um."
Although Fan Chou looked down on Yuan Shu, Tongguan was reinforcing the city defense day and night, waiting for Yuan Shu's arrival.
Jia Xu traveled in a simple carriage and finally arrived at Jincheng County after several days of traveling. However, as soon as he entered Jincheng, he was discovered by a scout wandering outside.
"who?"
The scouts surrounded Jia Xu's chariot and drew their swords from their scabbards.
"I am Jia Xu, the envoy of General Li Jue. I have a request to see General Zilong."
Jia Xu walked out of the carriage directly and saluted the scouts surrounding him with clasped fists.
"Li Jue's envoy?"
Hearing Jia Xu's words, the scouts around him were stunned. What do you, Li Jue's envoy, want to do here at this time?
"That's right, you want to take me to see General Zilong."
Jia Xu once again cupped his fists at the scout beside him.
"Gu Zi, you take twenty people and send this gentleman to Jincheng."
Looking at Jia Xu, who was unable to restrain the chicken, the team leader directly pointed out a cavalry and asked him to take people to escort Jia Xu to Jincheng to meet Zhao Yun.
"It's time to work."
After saluting, Jia Xu got directly into the carriage, and then ran towards Jincheng under the escort of cavalry.
A few days later, Jia Xu finally arrived in Jincheng, and the scouts went to report Zhao Yun first.
"What did you say?
Li Jue's envoy Jia Xu asked for an audience?
Are you sure it's Jia Xu?"
Zhao Yun was stunned when he heard what the scout said. He was not surprised that Li Jue sent someone, but what was surprising was that Jia Xu,
You must know that Yuan Shu has said many times that Jia Xu is a very good person and a man of great wisdom, but it is a pity that he cannot get the chance to meet him.
It's better now. I can't find anything even if I try hard to find it. It doesn't take any effort to get it. It's delivered to my door by myself.
"Yes, he calls himself Jia Xu."
Zhao Yun did not ask Li Jue, but instead paid attention to the messenger, which indeed made the scouts a little confused.
"Bring him here immediately to meet with me."
"promise."
Soon Jia Xu was led by the scouts and came to Zhao Yun. Looking at this man with an ordinary face and a slightly thin body, Zhao Yun was also a little confused.
"Has General Zilong ever met Jia Xu?"
Seeing Zhao Yun looking at him carefully, Jia Xu couldn't help but feel confused. He didn't remember that he had met him before?
"I'm sorry, Mr. Jia Xu, but my lord often mentions him, saying that he is a man of great knowledge, has a world-wide mind, and is a man of great wisdom. That's why Zhao Yun took a closer look."
After hearing Jia Xu's words, Zhao Yun quickly clasped his fists and saluted.
"You said Yuan Zhoumu often mentioned me?"
Jia Xu was also confused. He was just a nobody. He didn't expect that the dignified Yuan Shu would mention him often. To be honest, he didn't believe it.
"true."
Zhao Yun nodded firmly and looked at the confused Jia Xu. You may think that you are just a nobody, but you are a famous presence in the Jizhou Army.
"Then thank you Yuan Zhoumu for your love."
Jia Xu was speechless and could only clasp his fists at Zhao Yun and thank Yuan Shu for his attention.
"Mr. Jia Xu, there is something I don't know whether to ask or not?"
Looking at Jia Xu, Zhao Yun smiled slightly and suddenly spoke.
After hearing Zhao Yun's words, Jia Xu was also stunned. You said it's inappropriate to ask, so it's best not to ask, otherwise how should you answer if something bad is asked.
"Since the gentleman is silent, I will ask. They can't see clearly the situation of Li Jue and others now, but the gentleman must be able to see clearly.
My lord is suppressing Sili, and Sili and his like will not dare to resist. When my lord integrates the troops of Sizhou and marches westward to Yongzhou, it will be difficult for Li Jue and others alone to resist.
Under such a situation, I wonder if your husband would be willing to abandon the dark side and join the bright side, break away from Li Jue and others, and join my lord.
I can guarantee that with your master's talent, my lord will definitely entrust you with important responsibilities, and it is no problem to serve as governor of the state."
