After some additional planning by the counselors, Yuan Shang finally made up his mind to set out for Qingzhou!
The most excited person about this is Tian Feng.
Heaven and earth, this is the first time Fengga has made a plan without any opposition.
You know, when Yuan Shao was reincarnated before, due to partisanship, almost all of Tian Feng's strategies had people standing up to oppose him.
But it doesn't matter if you object. If there are any omissions in the plan, Tian Feng will not be able to accept it.
But the problem is that these people simply oppose for the sake of opposition and don't care about right or wrong.
Tian Feng could only endure it silently.
Now that Yuan Shao is gone and Yuan Shang has ascended the throne, the partisanship is gone.
This made Tian Feng even have the illusion that Yuan Shao should die earlier.
"Transmit the order! Order Zhang He to lead 200,000 troops, march out of Qinghe and the plains, and then attack Qingzhou directly.
Kill all enemy troops along the way, whether they are Chu troops or Qingzhou troops!"
Yuan Tan, if you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust.
After confirming Yuan Shang's decision to send troops, Xin Ping was immediately overjoyed.
Hahaha, brother, wait, brother will avenge you soon.
How many soldiers and horses does Xiang Ji of the Chu State have? This Yuan Shang is indeed the person who has completely inherited Yuan Shao's legacy. He can send out an army of 200,000 troops!
Hum hum, just this once, I am afraid that not only can I avenge my brother, but I, Xin Ping, will also find a good master.
With expectations in his heart, Xin Ping, who was full of energy, hurriedly returned to Qingzhou.
"My lord! My lord is so happy!
Yuan Shang has agreed to send troops! I am very happy, my lord!"
After running wildly for several days, the disgraced Xin Ping finally rushed back to Le'an City in Qingzhou where Yuan Tan lived.
Yes, because of the loss of Beihai County, where the governor was, Yuan Tan reunited with Gao Lan's army and retreated all the way, and now retreated into Le'an City adjacent to Jizhou. What he wanted in his mind was that if he lost, he would immediately retreat to Jizhou.
What should I say? Yuan Shang is also his biological brother, isn’t he? You can’t just watch your eldest brother’s defeat, right?
But obviously, Yuan Tan has forgotten that he previously wished that Yuan Shang would die.
Yuan Tan was excited when he saw Xin Ping, who described himself as embarrassed and beaming with joy.
Did that boy Yuan Shang really agree to send troops? Hahaha, God will not destroy me!
As long as that kid is willing to send troops, then I will be safe.
You know, Yuan Tan had already despaired of Yuan Shang's side. After all, the envoy who rushed to the Chu army earlier was directly used by him to sacrifice the flag, and he even detected Guo Tu's plan and took advantage of the situation to seize Beihai County.
Unexpectedly, Yuan Shangkong has so many counselors, but he is not as smart as Xiang Ji of Chu State, and he is not able to detect the plan of that damn Guo Tu!
"Good! Very good! Xin Ping, you have made great achievements, and I will definitely reward you generously."
Looking at it now, Xin Ping and Gao Lan are the only truly reliable and loyal ministers under his command.
He didn't care about the reward Xin Ping promised from Yuan Tan. After all, he had already sold it all.
In Xin Ping's opinion, Yuan Tan might not be able to survive for a few days. His reward? Humph, you dare to give it, but I don't even dare to ask for it.
"My lord! Xin Ping does not ask for any reward. He is only willing to die for the lord and for Qingzhou."
Hearing what Xin Ping said, Yuan Tan was moved.
This is the true minister of humiliation!
When I am in danger, you can still be so loyal and never leave me, and be loyal to me without asking for anything in return. This is an example of a courtier in this world!
"Xin Ping, I really did not misjudge you.
That Yuan Shang, does he have any request? When will his reinforcements arrive?"
Moved, Yuan Tan returned to the topic.
Nowadays, Xiang's soldiers and horses from the Chu State are going around to attack the prefectures and counties in Qingzhou, and they are afraid that the whole of Qingzhou will fall soon.
By then, Le'an, which is on the edge of Qingzhou, will no longer be safe.
You know, Yuan Tan had prepared for the worst before.
When Xiang Ji's army really comes, if I can't resist it and can't defeat me, I will give up my business and go live under Yuan Shang.
Come to think of it, facing his own eldest brother, Yuan Shang would never refuse, right?
"My lord, although Yuan Shang agreed to send troops, it takes time to mobilize the army.
Therefore, Yuan Shang asked his lord to resist Chu's thoughts in all matters.
Qingzhou cannot be completely occupied no matter what."
Finally, we come to the main topic. This is the plan that Xin Ping and Yuan Shang made, to induce Yuan Tan to fight for the title of Chu State. When the time comes, Yuan Shang's army from Hebei will arrive and destroy them all.
"Okay! General Gao Lan, hurry up and reorganize the army. We will send troops!"
Yuan Tan had no doubts about what Xin Ping said.
Now, Yuan Tan no longer expects to find profit opportunities as before. As long as he can keep Qingzhou and his own foundation, everything will be fine.
Qingzhou, Jiaodong.
"Overlord! Yuan Tan has sent troops!"
Xiang Ji, who was leading his troops to capture the territory of Qingzhou, received the information that Yuan Tan was sending troops.
This guy, who had fled all the way after joining the Anqiu garrison at Gaolan, why did he suddenly send troops? Who gave him the courage?
Suddenly hearing that Yuan Tan was sending troops, Xiang Ji was stunned.
You know, no matter how Xiang Ji pursued him and invited him to fight, he always ran away without looking back, even if he left behind countless Canglong cavalry soldiers who were used by the rear army to delay Xiang Ji's pursuit.
"Overlord, Yuan Tan suddenly sent troops, I'm afraid he has already contacted Yuan Shang of Jizhou!"
As a military advisor accompanying the army, Pang Tong naturally had to show his role as a military advisor at this time.
When he heard that Yuan Tan was sending troops, his first reaction was that this coward must have obtained reinforcements from Jizhou.
Otherwise... I'm afraid this guy will never send troops to confront Xiang Ji's army until he dies.
Yuan Shang sent troops?
Hearing what Pang Tong said, Xiang Ji understood.
Indeed, the only reason this guy dares to send troops is because Yuan Shang of Jizhou has already sent troops.
If this is the case, it seems that the conquest of Qingzhou must be accelerated.
You must know that at this time, Xiang Ji had only fifty thousand soldiers. Even if he transferred another army from Pengcheng, he would only be able to make up eighty or ninety thousand at most.
Although Yuan Tan is a coward, the 50,000 Qingzhou Army commanded by his subordinate Gao Lan cannot do anything fake.
This Qingzhou Army is definitely not comparable to Liu Bei's Caotai team.
You know, these Qingzhou troops were all the elites of the Hebei army back then, veterans of the battlefield who had been in a stalemate with Tai Shici in Qingzhou for two full years.
What's more, apart from Yuan Tan's 50,000 Qingzhou army, since Yuan Shang from Jizhou has already sent troops, the number is still unknown.
If Yuan Tan's forces cannot be wiped out quickly, the Chu army will be in real trouble if they face both of his armies at the same time.
"Send the order to the entire army to assemble quickly. We will go directly to Le'an and kill Yuan Tan first!"
Since you want to play two-on-one with me, I will kill you first.
