Yan Liang's head was presented to Cai Ji in a lacquer plate. Although Cai Ji had seen many heads, the residual fear and unwillingness on Yan Liang's face still made her a little mixed. As soon as Yan Liang died, a series of defenses set up by Yuan Shao in Qingzhou also collapsed. At the same time that Yan Liang's head was beheaded, Cai Jibu had recaptured Weishui Shuizhai and crossed Weishui in the early morning of the next day to attack the Northwest Sea County controlled by Yuan Shao.

In fact, it is more accurate for Cai Ji's troops to surrender in the Northwest Sea County than to besiege the city. The news of Yan Liang's death is more effective than any surrender letter, and often as soon as Cai Jibu appears ten miles outside the city, the officials and people in the city are already busy erecting the flag of surrender at the head of the city. Just as Cai Ji is standing at the moment, Duchang City was taken by Gao Shun's soldiers without blood. As for Gao Shun himself, he had already led his troops to advance to Pingyuan County, the capital of Qingzhou.

The victory came so quickly and so easily, that Cai Ji, who had been narrowly winning in the past, was a little excited. In this battle of Qingzhou, Cai Jibu only had more than 100 casualties, and most of them were caused by Yan Liang. Compared with the thousands of casualties in the previous war, this loss is comparable to zero casualties. Considering the heavy blow that Yan Liang's death dealt to Yuan Shaobu, Cai Ji decided to further expand this advantage. saw her wave her hand to her subordinates, "Put Yan Liang's head in a brocade box and send it to Yuan Shao." ”

"Whoa." As his subordinates took Yan Liang's head away and pickled, Cai Ji smiled with praise to Zhao Yun and Jia Xu, the heroes of the battle. Yes, this time he was able to kill Yan Liang in one battle, and Zhao Yun deserved to be the first meritorious minister. But if it weren't for Jia Xu's careful arrangement, no matter how brave Zhao Yun was, he would not have won such a beautiful one.

At the beginning, after learning that Yuan Shao sent Yan Liang to take charge, Cai Ji was nervous. Although Yan Liang was stabbed by Guan Yu in the chaos of the army in the original history, it seems that he did not have any appearance in the battle of Guandu. But after all, he is the number one fierce general under Yuan Shao, and no matter how strong he is, he is stronger than Yuan Tan's straw bag. However, Jia Xu pointed out sharply that Yan Liang was just a martial artist, and there was nothing to be afraid of.

Jia Xu's words are not simply lip service. Aimed at Yan Liang's temperament. He built yì Cai Ji to let Yan Liang cross the Weishui first, and then sent a group of soldiers and horses to pretend to cross the river. In order to ensure supplies, Yan Liang will lead his troops north to intercept them. At that time, Cai Ji only needs to send a team of elites to ambush in the middle of the road. The truth is just as Jia Xu calculated, just between this seemingly simple release and introduction, Yan Liang was led into the trap set by Jia Xu by an invisible hand. In the end, he was beheaded by Zhao Yun. For these two heroes, Cai Ji naturally has something to say.

"This time, Yan Liang collected Beihai, and the whole battle was General Zilong, Wu Yong, and Wen He Gong was clever. I hope that the two of you will continue to work hard. Help Gu defeat Yuan Shao as soon as possible. After that, Cai Ji ordered someone to send Zhao Yun and Jia Xu a reward prepared in advance.

Zhao Yun got ten gold bars and a bloody horse from the Western Regions. This horse was originally an engagement gift from the Xiongnu horse dealer Wang Han to Cai Ji. But Cai Ji felt that it was really a natural thing for such a treasure horse to wander behind him, and Cao Pi was too young to stop the horse. Only a peerless general like Zhao Yun is worthy of such a BMW. What Jia Xu got was a small bag of pearls the size of a dragon's eye and a hardcover set of "Lü's Spring and Autumn".

Jia Xu, the old master, accepted the reward without changing his face and expressed his gratitude to Cai Ji. On the contrary, Zhao Yun was a little overwhelmed in the face of such a rich reward. He even excused himself. "The gift of the Lord is too great. Yun didn't dare to accept this generous gift. ”

Zhao Yun's reaction made Cai Ji feel interesting and quite moved. This quality of loyalty is hard to find in later generations. However, Cai Ji gave Zhao Yun a generous reward, but he was not just rewarding his merits. After organizing some rhetoric in his heart, Cai Ji solemnly persuaded Zhao Yun and said, "Lone has forbidden his soldiers and horses to plunder, if you can't do it for meritorious deeds, the soldiers will definitely reject military discipline, and then the army will be in turmoil." For the sake of military discipline and military morale, General Zilong was also asked to accept the reward. ”

Since Cai Ji has raised the matter of rewards to the level of military discipline and military morale. Zhao Yun naturally couldn't excuse himself. And Jia Xu and Cao Pi on the side both set their eyes on Cai Ji. Jia Xu's eyes were full of appreciation, while Cao Pi's eyes were more thoughtful. Cai Ji didn't care what others thought of her generosity. In Cai Ji's opinion, a generous lord is better than a stingy lord who is more likable.

After the reward for meritorious deeds. Cai Ji turned his attention to the current situation again. Choi Yan Liang showed Cai Ji what a smooth tactic is, and at the same time piqued her interest in war. There's no denying it. War is also an art. Death and destruction aside, the classic examples of inspiration and talent are pleasing to the eye. And at this moment, Cai Ji is most interested in what kind of amazing tactics Jia Xu will use next. Seeing that she asked Jia Xu with great interest: "Wen Hegong's clever strategy made the lone soldier take Beihai without blood. I don't know what the public's plan is to take Qingzhou? ”

"It was the soldiers of the Cai army who ordered the lord to take Beihai. The old man just took advantage of the situation to get an idea for the Lord. Jia Xu humbly arched his hand.

"Wen and Gong are too modest." Cai Ji waved his hand and said, "The lonely battle has never been as smooth as it is today for many years, isn't it because of the clever plan of the public office?" ”

How do you know that Jia Xu responded with a twisted beard, "The old man has been planning for many years, and he has never been so easy under the command of Qi Hou. ”

Cai Ji didn't know whether Jia Xu's words were sincere or just flattering, so he had to respond, "Wenhe Gong has a prize." Please also give me a lesson or two. ”

In fact, Cai Ji didn't know that Jia Xu did not perfunctory her this time. Just as good software must be backed by hardware. Although Jia Xu is the best in the world, Li Xun and Zhang Xiu, who he assisted before, are short-sighted, and most of their soldiers and horses lack discipline although they are fierce. Jia Xu, who served under these people, couldn't give full play to his talents, and could only rely on his wits again and again to save his life. On the other hand, Cai Ji has great ambitions, but also can manage the territory in a down-to-earth manner. Tai Shici under his command is also an expert in military training. After six years of painstaking preparation, the Cai family army with strict discipline was finally created. With such a strong army in his hands and deep trust from the Lord, it is difficult for Jia Xu to use it if he wants to use it well.

At this moment, in the face of Cai Ji's repeated questions, Jia Xu couldn't help but smile and said, "The lord doesn't need to worry, Fengxiao has already made arrangements, and Qingzhou is already in the lord's pocket." ”

As the saying goes, good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles. The news of Yan Liang's death spread far faster than the speed of Cai Jibu's march. It's not. Before Gao Shun's soldiers and horses arrived in Pingyuan County. Qingzhou, who was in Pingyuan City, had already received the news of Yan Liang's death and the fall of Beihai. It is true that as early as when Yan Liang insisted on sending troops, Xin Ping had already expected that Yan Liang would suffer a big loss. But the news that Yan Liang was beheaded still shocked Xin Ping. No matter how you say it, Yan Liang is the head of the four court pillars in Hebei, and the person who can behead him should be such a fierce general.

"Brother? Brother? ”

Simbi's call brought the sluggish Xin Ping back to reality. Seeing him put away the battle report in his hand, he smiled helplessly and wryly, "George." Brother is still miserable! ”

"Why did my brother say that?" Simbi stepped forward and asked.

"Yan Liang is dead, Cai's soldiers and horses are like bamboos all the way to conquer the city, Beihai, Le'an, Qi State, Jinan counties have fallen successively. I think that in the next two days, Cai's army will come to the city of the plain. Xin Ping handed the battle report to his younger brother. sighed for a long time, "Back then, my brother didn't listen to George's advice, but insisted on going his own way and forcibly pulled you into Yuan Shao's account. Who would have thought that Yuan Shao would be wrong again and again. Risking the world. The more he is the emperor. Now that the Yuan family's disaster has fallen, the Yuan family's stubborn defense of Qingzhou will not be immune to the disaster...... Cough, George, go pack your bags, and go out of the city tonight and return to Yingchuan's hometown to avoid trouble. ”

Xin Ping's words did not make Xin Bi feel frightened, on the contrary, he lightly pressed the corner of the table and asked with concern: "How does my brother deal with it?" ”

"How can I deal with it. Only by dying can he repay the kindness of the Yuan family. Xin Ping arched his hand towards the sky, his face full of tragedy of repaying his kindness with death.

"Why is my brother so pedantic." Simbi pursed his lips. said with a slight teasing, "You also said just now that Yuan Shaoyue was arrogant to be the emperor. In this way, Yuan Shao is disloyal first, why should my brother be loyal to the Han thief as a Han Chen. As for the grace of support. It is just a private relationship, and how can it be compared with righteousness. What's more, the elder brother has governed Qingzhou for the Yuan family for many years. No matter how great the kindness is, it has already been paid off, so why should my brother bother with this. ”

Xin Bi's words made Xin Ping's face itch. It must be known that when Yuan Shao was proclaimed emperor, although Xin Ping also felt that something was wrong, in the end, he couldn't resist the temptation of high-ranking officials Houlu, and swore allegiance to Yuan Shao to become the Qingzhou driver of the "Chen" country. At this time, if he was asked to oppose Yuan Shao as Hanchen, Xin Ping really couldn't pull this face. So for Xin Bi's, Xin Ping just sighed, shook his hand again and again, and said, "George doesn't need to say much. The brother's mind has been decided. Thou shalt leave the plain as soon as possible, and I am afraid that I will not be able to walk if I want to. ”

"Brother thinks that Bi will be able to return to Yingchuan with peace of mind!" Xin Bi's face sank, and he scolded Xin Ping, "If my brother serves Yuan Shao in the plains, then everyone in the world will be a thief." How could the Wu Xin clan not be implicated? ”

"This ......" Hearing that Xin Bina was threatening the survival of the family, Xin Ping couldn't help but panic a little. But he still said with a little hesitation, "And today, when the princes are in dispute, we are each our master, and we will not harm our families, right?" ”

"Yuan Shao has already been proclaimed emperor, how can the princes say? I heard that Cao Cao was a harsh person, and you thought he would let go of the remnants of the Han thieves? Xin Bi shattered Xin Ping's illusion and said, "Even if Cao Cao doesn't pursue this matter." How could Kong Rong and the other clear streams in the DPRK give up? At that time, as soon as the elder brother dies, the roots of the ears will be pure, and the Xin family will be affected by the thoughts of the elder brother for a while. ”

Xin Bi's words were like a stinger piercing the most vulnerable and sensitive place in Xin Ping's heart. Seeing that he was about to become a family sinner, Xin Ping couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat and said, "This ...... This, how can this be good? ”

Xin Bi said so much just now, in fact, it was his brother's words that were waiting. saw him leaning over and whispering to Xin Ping, "What else can I do, naturally I will abandon the darkness and turn to the light." ”

"Is George going to surrender to Cai Anzhen for his brother?" Xin Ping asked after a while. At this time, he had already expected what Simbi would say. After all, in the early years, Xin Bi didn't say a lot of bad things about Yuan Shao behind his back.

But Xin Bi corrected meaningfully, "It's surrender, not surrender." ”

Xin Ping is such a person, when he heard his younger brother say this, he immediately thought of the difference between the two. He then pressed on Sinbi and asked, "Do you mean it......?" George, you ......"

Without waiting for Xin Ping to ask deeply, Xin Bi had already taken out a thin letter from his arms. The white paper had actually revealed a lot of information to Xin Ping. But he still couldn't help but ask his younger brother, "George, what is this?" ”

"Letter from Guo Fengxiao." Simpi shook the piece of paper in his hand and smiled meaningfully at his brother. In fact, as early as when he was on the mission to Donglai, Xin Bi already had the idea of taking refuge in Cai Ji. But at that time, his brother Xin Ping was bent on following Yuan Shao's glorious lintel, and Xin Bi had no choice but to temporarily press this thought in his heart. After Yuan Shao ascended the throne and became emperor, Xin Bi completely looked down on the Yuan clan and began to communicate with Guo Jia in secret. Both of them were originally from Yingchuan Academy, and there are many similarities in their views on the world. After going back and forth, they naturally formed a deep friendship. After Cai Ji announced his alliance with Cao Cao, Guo Jia wrote another letter to Xin Bi, in which he bluntly persuaded Xin Bice to turn against Xin Ping and surrender to Cheng. Xin Bi already had this idea, but before he could speak, Yuan Shao had already sent Yan Liang to sit in Qingzhou. As a last resort, Simbi had no choice but to put aside his plan to rebel for the time being and wait for the situation to change. Fortunately, Yan Liang did not stay in Pingyuan City all the time, but personally led his troops to Beihai. The only thing that caught Xin Bi a little off guard was Yan Liang's death. He originally thought that Yan Liang would fight with Cai Jiduo for a while, but he never thought that he would die in a battle. Fortunately, as long as Cai Ji's soldiers and horses did not come to the city of Pingyuan, it was not too late to declare the surrender uprising.

Looking at the letter in Xin Bi's hand, Xin Ping was really curious and excited, so he quickly asked, "What does the letter say?" ”

In the letter, Feng Xiao wanted to persuade his brother to surrender to the Marquis of Qi. said that Qi Hou admired his brother's talent very much, and he couldn't bear to see his brother go astray. As long as the elder brother Kenli should be jointly presented to Pingyuan County, the elder brother will be a meritorious minister to maintain the Han family. Let's ask who in the world dares to underestimate my brother. Simbi said with a three-inch tongue.

Yan Liang is dead, as Xin Ping, there is no need to cooperate with the outside at the moment, as long as he says a word, the defenders in the city will immediately open the city gate and let Cai Ji's soldiers and horses enter the city. But there is a big difference between having such a letter and not having such a letter. There is a letter on behalf of Xin Ping, who has early contact with Cai Ji, which can be regarded as being in Yuan Ying's heart in Han. His dedication to the city was a surrender uprising. And without faith, it means that Xin Ping was forced to surrender by the situation, and his reputation is obviously much more ugly. Guo Jia's letter was like a clear spring to solve Xin Ping's urgent need, and at the same time laid a successful conclusion for Cai Ji's battle of Qingzhou.

But seeing Xin Ping holding the letter in his hand, he nodded excitedly and said, "I will order someone to open the city gate to welcome Wang Shi!" ”
