Liu Yu, the governor of Youzhou, was a clan member of the Han Dynasty, and with his agility and high prestige, he held Youzhou firmly in his hands. Even the White Horse General Gongsun Zan's more than ten years of management could not shake Liu Yu's status.
No one expected that Dong Zhuo would send an edict of appointment through the hands of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, and Gongsun Du would take advantage of the opportunity and remove Liaodong County from the territory of Youzhou in almost ten days.
However, during this period of time, the Xianbei tribe was about to make a move in the Han territory. In order to prevent foreign invaders from attacking the border, Liu Yu patrolled the northern border day and night, but was unable to deal with Gongsun Du's rise to power. What's more, Gongsun Du's position as prefect was righteous, and he held the Han Xian Emperor to establish the Chuan Kingdom.
Yuxi's appointment edict is even more difficult to question.
Xin Ping's plan was very vicious. As long as Qu Yi led his troops north, Liu Yu, the governor of Youzhou, would owe Han Fu a huge favor.
No matter who wins or loses between Qu Yi and Gongsun Du, it has nothing to do with Han Fu. Maybe Han Fu can even take advantage of this opportunity to gain some benefits.
As for Gongsun Zan, another powerful person in Youzhou, the White Horse General, the governor of Peking, was focusing all his attention on overthrowing Liu Yu. He didn't even respond to Gongsun Du's move to seize Liaodong. Of course, he ignored Qu Yi's move to march north to conquer Liaodong.
Act of.
Qu Yi ordered people to send Lin Feng out of the house. He lay alone on a low couch in the courtyard, closing his eyes and meditating.
With his military career that lasted for many years since he was young, and the embarrassing position of being in a high position but not a low position, Qu Yi always lacked a mastermind who was willing to join him. Even the sour scholars from his hometown were unwilling to follow him to fight the enemy in the harsh mountains and rivers.
This also led to Qu Yi's actions being haphazard, and many times the cause and effect could only be figured out after the fact.
This time Lin Feng came to make friends secretly, and Qu Yi felt very proud.
The current situation in Jizhou is clear. Han Fu and Qu Yi have joined forces to suppress all the counties and cities, and no one dares to show their heads.
Of course, no one dares to mess with the plains controlled by Lin Feng for the time being.
Not to mention anything else, when Lin Feng set out from Luoyang and led his army to take over Pingyuan City, he had more than 700,000 to 80,000 troops under his command, and some people with a bright mind discovered in Lin Feng's military camp the soldiers who had originally attacked Wei.
Some of the generals when You was the prefect.
This discovery made everyone, including Han Fu, take a breath of cold air.
Lin Mad Dog lived up to his reputation. In order to get the position of governor of Pingyuan, he secretly attacked Pingyuan and killed the governor Wei You after the city was broken. This kind of coquettish operation was really scary.
It is precisely because of this that everything Lin Feng did in Pingyuan City was ignored by everyone, and no lunatic would jump out and criticize him at will, unless someone wanted to follow Wei You.
Qu Yi was also glad at this time that he did not get carried away and forcefully went to Pingyuan County to inspect the soldiers and horses under his command.
Qu Yi doesn't care if he insists on a collision with Lin Feng, but if friction really occurs, it should be impossible to buy food from Pingyuan City again.
It's okay now. We only allocated two dollars to Pingyuan.
The famous Sima Xiaojun in the army can purchase a large amount of food and grass from Pingyuan City in a short period of time, and no longer has to worry about the lack of food and grass causing a mutiny in the military camp.
As for why Lin Feng came to do this loss-making business, it was naturally because the governor of Quyi was so powerful in Jizhou. Lin Feng did not want to touch his edge, so he settled for the next best thing and spent money to buy peace.
Well, Qu Yi was completely swollen at this time, his mentality had turned into a desert, and there was no longer a green tree!
After stabilizing the army in his hands, Qu Yi was ready to show off his cards to Han Fu.
Yes, it was you, Han Fu, who fished me out of Wuwei, Lao Qu, and saved people from fire and water. But Lao Qu also devoted his whole life to your efforts to pacify Jizhou.
The powerful men in various counties did not dare to stroke Han Fu's tiger beard, which was enough to repay the favor of promotion.
If a younger brother is promoted but still has to obey the orders of his former superior, then what's the point of being promoted?
In Julu City, both Han Fu and Qu Yi were secretly planning to overwhelm each other. At this time, Yuan Shao, who was leading his remaining troops to flee north to Jizhou, was temporarily stationed in Yecheng, waiting for the Luoyang scribes group behind him to send him the right to enter Jizhou.
edict.
Above the court, no matter how powerful Dong Zhuo was, he could not stop the huge group of scribes from entrusting the secrets scattered throughout the Han Dynasty one by one.
The white-faced Cao Cao, Cao Mengde, led his army away from Luoyang and returned to his hometown of Chenliu. He dispersed his family's wealth and summoned righteous men from all over the world to prepare for the crusade against the traitor Dong Zhuo and restore the glory of the Han Dynasty. Along the way, the soldiers and horses were part of the scribes group and the eunuch group.
Not counting the two backgrounds, he was also a member of the Eighth Imperial Army of Xiyuan, so the white-faced Cao Cao was smoothly promoted from the rank of Dianjun Colonel to the rank of Xiaoqi Colonel.
Yuan Shu, another representative figure after the Fourth Sangong Yuanmen, fled back to Nanyang in a hurry. After a few seconds, he took on the title of Nanyang Prefect and recruited troops to prepare for his funeral.
Naturally, Yuan Shao, the legitimate son of the Yuan clan, would not be treated badly. He still imitated the old hen at home and sent Yang Biao, the elder who raised the ball between his legs, to the palace in person to meet the king and win him the post of Bohai Prefect.
Yuan Shao stopped in Yecheng to wait for this appointment edict.
Originally, Yuan Shao wanted to go to Pingyuan. While waiting for the edict, he could also discuss an alliance with Lin Feng, who was also the eighth captain of Xiyuan.
In Yuan Shao's heart, Jizhou is basically his treasure.
Not mentioning that he still has more than 20,000 elite soldiers under his command, just saying that Han Fu, the shepherd of Jizhou, is a disciple of the Yuan family, which cannot hinder Yuan Shao, but can only bring help.
As long as he smoothes out Mad Dog Lin's hair, takes advantage of Jizhou's large population and easy availability of money and food, develops silently for two or three years, and trains an invincible army. When the time comes, Yuan Shao will command hundreds of thousands of people and march to the capital to kill
He rebelled against Dong Zhuo and reorganized the Han Dynasty. Naturally, his name will go down in history forever.
His thoughts were blocked by Feng Ji, the mastermind around him.
Fengji pulled Yuan Shao and stamped his feet again and again.
I almost rushed up and slapped him.
"My lord, you must not act like this. I think Pingyuan Lin Zhirou was known as a mad dog in Luoyang because of his unruly nature and eccentric mind. He would bite almost everyone he saw and would never fail. Even Jian Gong, who had always been tolerant and protective of him, was captured alive by him in the palace gate.
It can be seen that he has the heart of a wolf and the lungs of a dog. Our army is weak at this time. If Ben Chu rushes to join forces, wouldn't he be afraid of being eaten alive by Lin Zhirou?"
Yuan Shao is very indecisive by nature. He often has an idea as soon as his mind changes. When he thinks about it later, he comes up with another idea. As time goes by, he himself doesn’t know what to do. He has to rely on his close associates to give him advice.
Make a decision.
Now it was easy for Qian Gang to act arbitrarily, but he was criticized by Feng Ji for being useless, so naturally he was a little unhappy.
But Yuan Shao also has another advantage, that is, even if he hears offensive words, he will not deny them easily.
Then he frowned and asked: "Yuan Tu, in your opinion, Lin Pingyuan will not form an alliance with someone?"
Feng Ji, Zi Yuan Tu, a famous scholar in Nanyang, was recommended to the capital and served as the official of Zhongshushe. Later, he was inspired by Yuan Shao's ambition and abandoned his official position. He was willing to become an aide in Yuan Shao's tent. He was the most important schemer in Yuan Shao's early days and won for Yuan Shao.
Jizhou made its first contribution.
"Lord, at this time our army must go to the Bohai Sea as soon as possible, sweep the holes and redefine the rules, and firmly control the whole Bohai Sea in the hands of the Lord. When we have a firm foothold in the Bohai Sea, then we can discuss alliances with other states and counties.
The timing of the matter. Now that our army is like a rootless weed, even food and grass can only be obtained from the guards of the cities along the way, how can we guarantee the lord's dominant position in the covenant?"
Feng Ji made it clear, now we have to rely on others for food, so how can we have the face to lead the alliance? But if we are not the leader after the alliance is formed, then how can we afford to make wedding clothes for others?
Yuan Shao was right when he thought about it. Now that the world is in chaos, the days of relying solely on face to make a living are gone forever. If he has no soldiers, horses, and territory, he will not be able to straighten his waist.
"Okay, according to what Yuan Tu said, our army will set off early tomorrow morning, bypassing the plains and going straight to Bohai County."
"My lord is wise."
After hearing what Yuan Shao said, Feng Ji secretly let out a sigh of relief. He was afraid that his lord would lose his temper, so he shyly went to Pingyuan Mansion to find Lin Feng to join forces.
Being rejected by Lin Feng is a trivial matter. At most, he loses some face and can get it back later.
He was afraid that Lin Feng would be ruthless and place Yuan Shao under house arrest, split up the more than 20,000 Xiyuan troops under Yuan Shao's command, and slowly swallow and digest them. At that time, the sky and the earth would be really ineffective.
As for betting that Lin Feng acted openly and truthfully, forget it and go back to wash your hands and sleep.
For Feng Ji, he would never leave Yuan Shao's future and life in the hands of others. Even Luoyang's letter of appointment as Bohai Governor was dispensable.
As long as you have soldiers in your hands, are you afraid that you won't be able to capture a small Bohai County?
