In the second year of the first peace, this year was called the year of the opening of the prologue of the Three Kingdoms by later historians.

In the spring of the second year of the first peace, Gongsun Zhan invaded Bohai County, Jizhou, and retreated in vain; after that, the soldiers of Wei County mutinied, most of the officials of Wei County were killed, and Dong Zhao, the Taishou of Wei County, was nowhere to be found; after the soldiers of Wei County defected, Yuan Tan, who temporarily managed Yecheng, was attacked in his mansion late at night, his limbs were broken, and he became a wasted person; it was precisely because of Yuan Tan's accident that Yecheng was leaderless, and finally the former leader of the Montenegrin Army united with the rebels of Wei County and easily took Yecheng. Yuan Shao went south to sweep the Yellow Turban, led a group of civil and military officials, and their families stayed in Yecheng, and when they learned that Yecheng had fallen, the civil and military officials panicked, but Yuan Shao was still calm and seemed to have known about it.

In the same year, Xuzhou Tao Qian and Yuzhou Yuan Shu sent two soldiers out of Yanzhou; at the same time, Yuan Shu sent Sun Ce to attack Yangzhou, and promised to take Yangzhou, and after promising to take Yangzhou, Sun Ce was the assassin of Yangzhou.

Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao is also the eldest son Liu Qi as the commander, Jiangxia Taishou Huang Zu is the deputy, and the soldiers are out of Jiangdong.

Ma Teng, the general of the expedition to the west appointed by Li Dao and Guo Yan, was at odds with Han Sui, the assassin of Liangzhou, and the two attacked each other, suffering countless casualties. Ma Teng's wife was killed by Han Sui's soldiers, and the two had a deeper grudge, a stronger killing, and a weakened force.

The princes of various places completely tore their faces and attacked the neighboring territories, and the Three Kingdoms officially kicked off.

……

Nanpi City, the government office

After Yu Ban's narration, Yuan Chang knew why Yu Ban came to take refuge in him. It turned out that Bao Xin was assassinated by Cao Cao, pretending to be the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, and Bao Xin discovered the conspiracy because he had always sent cronies to spy on Cao Cao.

If calculated in this way, Bao Xin should have been killed by Cao Cao in the original history, why did Yu Ban finally take refuge in Cao Cao?

Yuan Chang thought for a moment and soon understood the reason.

Originally, Cao Cao and Bao Xin were close friends in history, and Bao Xin would not send anyone to spy on Cao Cao at all. And now the reason why Bao Xin is going to spy on Cao Cao may be because of his words that sow discord at the beginning, which made the two have some cracks, and Bao Xin will send someone to monitor Cao Cao, so as to discover Cao Cao's actions. Thinking about it, Bao Xin also understood the intention of his original words, but he asked Yu Ban to take refuge in himself, and it seemed that Bao Xin resented Cao Cao even more.

Thinking of this, Yuan Chang was secretly happy in his heart, with the addition of Yu Ban's five thousand cavalry, it could really be said that his strength had increased greatly.

So, Yuan Chang said to Yu Ban with a straight face: "Wen Ze, these five thousand cavalry were originally commanded by you, and they will still be commanded by you in the future." And in order to commemorate General Bao, I specially give this cavalry the [Bao Family Army] today, what do you think?"

"Everything under the orders of the adults is at your disposal!"

Regarding Yuan Chang's order, Yu Ban did not have the slightest opinion. And, in Yu Ban's heart, he felt that Bao Xin really had a vision and could see Yuan Chang's extraordinary. At that time, Yu Ban saw Yuan Chang and thought that he was just an ordinary child of a big family, and he was also a waste among the children of a big family. However, who could have known that Yuan Chang was hiding so deeply. However, Bao Xin still saw that Yuan Chang was extraordinary, and asked Yu Ban to come to Yuan Chang, and said that Yuan Chang was the only one in the world who had the ability to avenge Bao Xin.

Previously, Yu Ban led 5,000 cavalry to join Yuan Chang, just when Yuan Chang and Gongsun Zhan were attacking the city. Yu Ban led his troops directly to the city of Nanpi, but Yuan Chang did not hesitate to order the city gate to be opened and let them in, which shows his decisive ability; just now, Yuan Chang bluntly said that the 5,000 cavalry still had no idea of seizing power because of the ban on command. Therefore, Yu Ban is also convinced that Yuan Chang is indeed extraordinary.

"Fengxiao, now that Gongsun Zhan has retreated to Nanpi and gone to Yecheng, he has ordered Liu Bei to be stationed twenty miles outside the city to prevent us from pursuing, what should we do now?"

After arranging the forbidden, Yuan Chang looked at Guo Jia beside him again and asked out loud.

At this moment, in the government office, there are Guo Jia, and there are Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Han Sui, Hua Manlou, Sikong Xingxing, and Yu Ban. In addition, Ximen Blowing Snow, Ye Gucheng, Lu Xiaofeng, as well as Duan Tianya, Guihai Yidao, and Cheng Zhengfei, the generals under their command are strong. Of course, the civilian officials are a little short, and it seems that they have to find a way to get some more manpower. Ximen Chuixue and Lu Xiaofeng were sent to help Dong Zhao, thinking that Dong Zhao would also become his own people in the future, but it was still not enough.

Although Gongsun Zhan retreated, he still let Liu Bei lead his men and horses to be stationed twenty miles outside Nanpi City. Moreover, Gongsun Zhan also gave Liu Bei 2,000 cavalry, and the 2,000 cavalry were naturally ordinary cavalry, not [White Horse Yicong]. [White Horse Yicong] is the elite of Gongsun Zhan, and the power is controlled by Gongsun Zhan, so it is naturally impossible to give it to Liu Bei. However, although Liu Bei only had 5,000 infantry and 2,000 cavalry, Yuan Chang didn't want to clash with Liu Bei, after all, Liu Bei was a very key figure, and it would not be good for him to kill him now.

Moreover, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are protected, unless there is a huge advantage in troops, otherwise, Liu Bei and the three can also escape.

Gongsun Chan also knew very well that there were two fierce generals in Nanpi City, Zhao Yun and Dian Wei, and no one under Gongsun Chan could resist it. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were able to fight against Zhao Yun and Dian Wei, so Liu Bei was allowed to stay. If it was Gongsun Chan and the soldiers in the black robe, it was estimated that when they saw Zhao Yun and Dian Wei, they would immediately be so frightened that they had no idea of fighting.

"The lord doesn't need to worry, Liu Bei is an extraordinary person, and he will never go to war with us!"

Guo Jia smiled confidently and explained carefully: "Liu Bei has emerged since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and he lives in the Han Dynasty himself, which shows that this person's ambition is not small. After that, Liu Bei fled after being whipped in anger because he had not bribed the eunuch sent by the eunuch. Later, because the eunuch was exterminated, Liu Bei's crime was no longer committed, and he was appointed as the Pingyuan Order, which had an excellent reputation. When it came time to crusade against Dong Zhuo, Liu Bei was a county commander, and he was able to stand at the bottom as a clan member of the Han family, Guan Yu killed Hua Xiong, and then fought with Lu Bu, and Liu Bei became even more famous. Although Liu Bei has a reputation, he is as low-key as the lord and moves forward step by step. If you wait for its full wings, it must be a fierce rival. However, today's Liu Bei will definitely not fight to the death with the lord. As long as we send troops, Liu Bei will definitely retreat. ”

Guo Jia was able to tell Liu Bei's affairs so clearly, which shows the depth of Guo Jia's hard work. It can be said that as long as there is a little prestige today, Guo Jia will go to self-study to analyze and understand.

As for Guo Jia's words, Yuan Chang is naturally convinced. As a traverser, Yuan Chang can be said to know more than Guo Jia. However, Guo Jia relied on his own ability to analyze it, while Yuan Chang was because of the advantage of crossing. Therefore, Guo Jia's ability can be seen.

As Guo Jia said, Liu Bei is indeed very low-key and never clashes head-on with others.

When Liu Bei arrived in Xuzhou, he only recruited troops and developed carefully, and later became a pastor in Xuzhou not long ago, and was taken away by Lu Bu. He defected to Cao Cao and did nothing, and then left Cao Cao after killing Lü Bu and took refuge with Yuan Shao. Until he cooperated with Eastern Wu and defeated Cao Cao in the Battle of Chibi, Liu Bei only fought the autumn wind, mainly because the men and horses of Eastern Wu fought against Cao Cao.

Waiting until the victory of the Battle of Chibi, Liu Bei showed his fangs, captured Jingzhou, and was like a bamboo, and then took Yizhou and Hanzhong, and finally became emperor. However, after Liu Bei became emperor, he also began to decline, and finally Shu Han perished. It can be said that Liu Bei is more low-key and forbearant than Yuan Chang.

According to what Feng Xiao said, Liu Bei is not worried, so don't worry about him for now. ”

Since Guo Jiadu said that Liu Bei would not go to war with him, Yuan Chang naturally would not continue to deal with Liu Bei, so he would let Liu Bei harm the other princes according to the pace of history.

"Fengxiao, after the battle of Nanpi City, I'm afraid that Yuan Shao already knows my low-key intentions, do you think Yuan Shao will be unfavorable to me?"

Liu Bei's matter was put down, but Yuan Chang was a little worried about another matter.

In the battle of Nanpi City, Yuan Chang and Guo Jia can be said to be extremely bright, and now, Yuan Chang's reputation has spread all over Nanpi City. Yuan Chang originally wanted to develop in a low-key manner, and when the time was ripe, he would take Jizhou again, and use this as a foundation to finally realize his ideals. It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, and Gongsun Zhan attacked Bohai County, so that Yuan Chang had to stand up. What happened in Nanpi City, Yuan Shao would definitely know that it would not work for Yuan Chang to continue to keep a low profile. In this regard, Yuan Chang was a little depressed, but he was not afraid. Today's Yuan Chang occupies a county, has all the military under his command, has enough men and horses, and has 5,000 cavalry in Yu Ban, which is different from when he first crossed over to this era and was slaughtered by others, and if you want to deal with him, you have to weigh yourself.

Of course, Yuan Chang is not only disadvantageous, at least his reputation is out, and someone will always come to him in the future. However, the question now is how Yuan Shao will view him.

"The lord now occupies a county, and there are two options. ”

Guo Jia looked at Yuan Chang, his eyes flashing. When Yuan Chang showed his edge, Guo Jia had already thought about it, so after Yuan Chang asked him, he could immediately give an answer.

"Which two?"

Yuan Chang asked directly, and he didn't shy away from Yu Ban, who had just joined, obviously because he had already regarded Yu Ban as his own. In this regard, Yu Ban understood in his heart that he was naturally moved.

"The first, the lord is based on Bohai County, separated from Jizhou, and is not under the jurisdiction of Yuan Shao. This approach may give Yuan Shao an excuse to send troops, but now that Yuan Shao is at war with Gongsun Zhan, he has no strength left to deal with the lord, and the lord has enough time to develop. ”

Yuan Chang nodded and didn't speak, he naturally had to listen to the second choice.

"Second, the lord is still dominated by Yuan Shao and obeys his dispatch. However, since Yuan Shao knows the true face of the lord, he will also be more vigilant, and I am afraid that it will hinder the development of the lord in the future. Therefore, the pros and cons of the two choices are up to the lord to decide. ”

Yuan Chang thought for a moment, looked up and saw the smile on the corner of Guo Jia's mouth, he also smiled, and did not speak, Guo Jia bowed his head, and naturally understood what Yuan Chang meant.

Needless to say, Yuan Chang chose the second one.

If Yuan Chang separates Bohai County, not only will he become the target of attacks from all sides in the future, but Yuan Shao will also attack him, which will be very unfavorable to Yuan Chang. If Yuan Shao continues to dominate, Bohai County is still the power of Jizhou, and Yuan Chang is also a child of the Yuan family, Yuan Shao will at least not attack Yuan Chang openly. The other forces wanted to attack Bohai County, that is, to attack Jizhou, after all, they did not know the dirt between Yuan Chang and Yuan Shao.

"My lord, my subordinates have a plan to find out what Yuan Shao means. ”
