It is said that Guo Jia originally asked Zhang Qingzhi to open a martial arts hall to remind Cai Ji not to lure the wolf into the room. But after listening to Cai Ji's views on religion, he felt that this woman was an extraordinary person and could not be treated as an ordinary person. In comparison, the threat of crooked ways such as Taiping Dao is not so important. After all, it was not only Guo Jia who was wary of Lin Fei and his ilk in the entire Huang County, Tai Shici, Zhang Qing and others were also very wary of the three hundred strangers who suddenly appeared. As for whether Cai Ji finally tamed the remnants of the Yellow Turban like Cao Cao, or was put together by the demon monk like Liu Xuan, the assassin of Yangzhou, it depends on her ability. As the saying goes, "Fortune and misfortune depend on it, and misfortune and fortune lie in waiting", every prince in the late Han Dynasty was a dancer on the tip of a knife, and often had to face temptations from all sides. The difference is only that some people avoid disasters when they see them, some people will take risks when they know that they are in trouble, and some people still think it is a blessing when they are in trouble.

Liu Bei, who was in the second year of Xingping, thought he was very blessed. In this year, he ended his wandering life and became the pastor of a state, including Jian Yong, Mi Zhu, Chen Deng, Wu Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and even the fierce generals like Lu Bu also defected to his account. Let's ask him, Liu Xuande has such a lineup, who else needs to be afraid of. So when the news of the invasion of the Yuan Shu Department came from Huaiyin in the winter of this year, Liu Bei ordered his soldiers and horses without saying a word, and planned to fight with Yuan Highway, who was born in the fourth world and the third duke.

"Yide, I'll hand it over to you. You have to help me keep an eye on Cao Bao and the others. Liu Beidi, who was dressed in military uniforms under Xiapi City, said meaningfully to Zhang Fei. If there is anything that will make Liu Bei uneasy at the moment, it is Cao Bao, the captain in Xiapi City. However, seeing that his command has become a fierce general, and there are recruits provided by Chen Deng and other powerful Xuzhou heroes. Liu Bei, who was full of ambition, naturally had murderous intent in his heart. In his opinion, leaving Xiapi this time is a good time to start killing poisonous weeds.

How could Zhang Fei, who was the military Sima at the time, not hear Liu Bei's voice, but saw him clenching his fists and answering in a deep voice, "Big brother, don't worry." This matter is wrapped up in the little brother. ”

"Act, don't be quiet." Liu Bei saw Zhang Fei's eyebrows fluttering, and couldn't help whispering. Liu Bei couldn't be clearer about the temper of his third brother. Although Zhang Fei won the three armies, he was born in the market and always liked to play some cleverness. In the early years, Liu Bei lacked strategists by his side, and Zhang Fei's market wisdom really helped him a lot. But as Liu Bei's status gets higher and higher, Zhang Fei's so-called strategy always feels like he can't get on the table. However, although dog meat cannot be served at the main table, it is still a dish after all. Therefore, after some careful consideration, Liu Bei decided to let Zhang Fei get rid of Cao Bao. It's just that Zhang Fei's character of "valuing gentlemen over villains" still makes Liu Bei a little uneasy. So he added, "Also, don't provoke Xiao Pei's Lu Bu." ”

"Lu Bu is a snake and a rat at both ends, the eldest brother shouldn't have let him enter Xuzhou in the first place. If I want to say that this guy is a hundred times more dangerous than Cao Bao. Zhang Fei said dissatisfied.

"Lu Fengxian is a crude martial artist, and he can't make a big deal." Liu Bei waved his hand disapprovingly, and then couldn't help but think of the scene when he first met Lu Bu. In other words, Lu Bu, who first arrived in Xuzhou, was still very polite and enthusiastic towards Liu Bei. He not only invited Liu Bei to the tent, but also asked his wife and concubine to salute Liu Bei. also set up a banquet to entertain Liu Bei, saying that he and Liu Bei were both people from Lianjiang. When he killed Dong Zhuo and came to Kanto, none of the Kwantung princes were willing to accept it. Only Liu Bei is righteous and willing to accept it. And commensurate with Liu Bei. And Liu Bei saw that Lu Bu was full of words in the market, and he did not go to the elegant hall. Therefore, although he socialized with him on the surface, he despised Lu Bu in his heart. At this moment, seeing that Zhang Fei still had an expression that refused to give up, Liu Bei couldn't help but put his face on his face and said, "Lu Bu, you don't have to worry about it first." Concentrate on handling the affairs of Xiapi"

"You really don't care about Lu Bu?" Zhang Fei asked meaningfully.

"Don't care" Liu Bei threw down this sentence without thinking, and then flicked his horse whip away.

And Zhang Fei looked at Liu Bei's distant figure, and couldn't help muttering to himself, "It seems that the eldest brother is getting carried away."

In the winter of the second year of Xingping, Liu Bei sent Sima Zhang Fei to guard Xiapi, and led the army to Xuyi and Huaiyin to fight against Yuan Shu. The Central Plains, which had just been silent for a long time, suddenly rose again. And the scroll was also in the battle between Liu Bei and Yuan Shu, from the second year of Xingping to the first year of Jian'an.

To say that the first year of Jian'an really doesn't match the meaning of the word "Jian'an". This year, there is no sign of stability at all. Not to mention that Liu Bei and Yuan Shu fought in Xu Yang and the two states, killing and wounding countless people. On the other side, Yuan Tan, who served as the assassin at the age of a weak crown, was also gearing up to do a big job in Qingzhou. To be honest, for Yuan Tan, the airborne Qingzhou assassin history, except for Donglai County, the rest of the counties in Qingzhou all have an attitude of listening to Xuan and not listening to the tune. As for Pingyuan County, he even rebuked Yuan Tan as a puppet official, and Tian Kai was a dignified assassin appointed by the imperial court. In fact, it is no wonder that the Taishou in Qingzhou have such a reaction. At this moment, Yuan Tan's real control area in Qingzhou is only six counties west of the Yellow River, and none of them can make up the scale of a county. However, the young and vigorous Yuan Tan doesn't care about the amount of territory, in his opinion, all counties in Qingzhou are a bunch of fish belly, and he Yuan Tan made a special trip to eat fish belly.

So, in late January of the first year of Jian'an, Yuan Tan ordered his soldiers and horses to go all the way south to Qingzhou, and set up a camp in Licheng, Jinan County. At the same time, Cai Ji, who was far away in Donglai, also received a military order from Yuan Tan in the name of assassinating Shi to order her to gather troops and horses to go to Licheng to standby. For Yuan Tan's dispatch to Qingzhou, Cai Ji was naturally prepared. It's just that she didn't expect that brother to fight in the busy season of farming, and he really didn't know the price of firewood and rice. However, since Cai Ji had promised Yuan Shao before that he would fully support Yuan Tan to pacify Qingzhou, then even if she was stabbed in the sky, Cai Anzhen would have to fight at this time.

Fortunately, after two years of operation, the reclamation of Donglai County has become a scale. Even without the help of the army, the people were able to complete the spring ploughing. Therefore, Cai Ji's recruitment and deployment of troops and horses was also very smooth, and he ordered 17,000 soldiers and horses in a short time, plus 3,000 people with Zhang Jaw, just 20,000 horses. Taking advantage of the spring, Cai Ji personally took command with 20,000 soldiers and horses, with Tai Shici as the main general, Wen Rui as the vanguard, Guo Jia as the military advisor, Liu Yixun as the main book, and Zhang Jaw as the guest general, and rushed to Licheng to meet Yuan Tan.

If the lineup of the Donglai Army this time is in the eyes of those who have watched the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in later generations, it will be gorgeous. However, it is still the first year of Jian'an, in addition to Zhang Jaw is a famous general in Hebei, Tai Shici, Guo Jia, and Liu Yixun can only be said to be a little famous, and as for Wen Rui and other young generals, they are even more typical unknowns. In contrast, it is Cai Ji, the young coach, who is more eye-catching. After all, in this era, it is the first time that a woman has been on the battlefield as a coach.

When Cai Ji and the others arrived in Licheng, the outside of Licheng was already covered with large and small mushroom-like tents. Fluttering battle flags and curling smoke rose one after another, indicating that tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were gathering here. In fact, from Cai Ji receiving Yuan Tan's order to the arrival of the Donglai army in Licheng, it took a total of ten days, which is not unfast. But Rao is like this, Cai Ji and the others are still the last army to reach Licheng. Because the entire Qingzhou responded to Yuan Tan's call only one county, Donglai. That is to say, in addition to the Donglai army, the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses gathered outside Licheng City at this moment are all Jizhou soldiers brought by Yuan Tan from Jizhou.

"Who's that general? The tiger's back is bear's waist, so good"

I don't even know him? That is the captain of the Ping Thief Colonel, General Zhang Junyi. ”

"Of course I know it's General Zhang. I asked the beautiful bearded general who walked side by side with General Zhang. ”

"I heard that the lieutenant of Donglai County is a beautiful bearded man. Isn't it General Taishi Ziyi of Donglai? ”

"It should be General Taishi. Don't you see that the two of them are escorting a little lady? That little lady should be the female eunuch of Donglai County. ”

"What, the female taishou of Donglai County is also here? What is she here to do? Fight? ”

Ignoring the curious guidance of the surrounding Jizhou soldiers, Cai Ji rode his horse into Licheng under the escort of Tai Shici and Zhang Jaw. Because Yuan Tan thinks highly of himself and likes to make friends with military generals, he only ordered Tai Shici and Zhang Jaw to meet with Cai Ji this time, and Guo Jia and other scribes were left in the camp and not allowed to enter the city. Cai Ji originally didn't want Guo Jia to meet with Yuan Shao's people, so he was naturally happy to have Yuan Tan arrange it like this. But when Cai Ji arrived in Yuan Tan's big tent, she Yuan Shao was really stingy with Yuan Tan. Except for Guo Tu, who was known to Cai Ji, the rest of the people looked very angry. And it is obvious that there are more people in the costumes of scribes than military generals. As for the two generals Wen Chou and Yan Liang, who have been following Yuan Shao's side, there is not even a shadow.

Could it be that Yuan Shao deliberately wanted to embarrass him? No, after all, hitting Qingzhou is a big deal. Yuan Tan's loss will not be a good thing for Yuan Shao. However, Yuan Tan asked Zhang Jaw and Tai Shi Ci to come at this time, shouldn't he want to dig people directly. With apprehension in his mind, Cai Ji stepped forward and saluted Yuan Tan respectfully, "Donglai Cai Anzhen has seen Yuan Yuanjun. The 20,000 soldiers and horses of Donglai County have arrived outside the city to wait for the envoy's dispatch. ”

"Look." The young envoy sitting in the hall didn't even say polite words, but directly pointed to a seat for Cai Ji to sit down. But then Yuan Tan greeted Zhang Jaw with a smile, "General Jun Yi has worked hard all the way. Last time, the 3,000-foot cavalry sent by Yecheng to Donglai could accompany him? ”

"Back to the envoy, the three thousand Qu troops have all camped outside the city, and they are ready to be dispatched at any time." He responded with a fist clenched.

"Fortunately, with the 3,000 soldiers and horses of General Junyi, what is there to worry about Tian Kai." As soon as Yuan Tan heard that Zhangjaw's soldiers and horses had arrived, he immediately walked down the hall with a smile and helped Zhangjaw up. Then he asked Tai Shi Ci on the side, "Is this General Tai Shi Ziyi, the commander of Donglai?" ”

"Taishi Ziyi has seen Yuan Yuanjun." Tai Shi Ci gave a salute with an attitude that was neither humble nor arrogant.

"General Ziyi is a true warrior." Yuan Tan looked Tai Shici up and down and couldn't help but praise sincerely, "I'll allocate 3,000 elite soldiers to the general, is the general willing to act as a vanguard?" ”

How do you know that Tai Shici faced the bait thrown by Yuan Tan, but bluntly declined, "Ziyi still has 17,000 Donglai disciples to lead." I dare not be ashamed to be a pioneer. ”

Yuan Tan was already arrogant, and at this moment, he heard that Tai Shici would rather guard the shrimp soldiers and crab generals in Donglai than the elite soldiers under his command as the vanguard, so his face immediately turned cold and he no longer talked to him. Instead, he turned back and ordered directly to Zhang Jaw, "General Junyi, you and the three thousand cavalry under your tent will be transferred to the assassin's tent to serve as a vanguard battalion from now on."

Zhang Jaw was originally Yuan Shao's general, and he wanted to make contributions. At this moment, in the face of the vanguard position entrusted by Yuan Tan, he naturally leaned over without saying a word."

Yuan Tan was obviously very satisfied with the appearance of Zhang Jaw. But after seeing him pretending to be old and patting Zhang Jaw's shoulder, he motioned for him and Tai Shici to sit down. After selecting the pioneer, Yuan Tan set his eyes on Cai Ji who was sitting on the side. But seeing him cough lightly, he said in an official tone, "Donglai is too protective of Cai Anzhen." ”

Cai Ji was secretly glad that Tai Shi Ci was righteous enough at first, and was not won over by Yuan Tan's small favor. At this moment, when he heard Yuan Tan call his name, he quickly got up and arched his hand, "Yes." ”

Yuan Tan glanced at Cai Ji and continued to pose, "Order Captain Cao to be in charge of the military rations from now on." ”

Cai Ji listened to Yuan Tan's appointment, and knew that the so-called "palm supply of military rations" was to ask Donglai County to supply him with grain and grass for free. But after working hard to bring 17,000 soldiers and horses here, Yuan Tan just played like this to transport grain and grass, which is too unkind. However, Cai Ji also knows that it is pointless to argue about this kind of thing. So she bowed respectfully and said, "Ah." ”

Since the last time he was humiliated by his father in public, Yuan Tan originally planned to give Cai Ji a dismissal today, but at this moment, seeing his low eyebrows and pleasing appearance, he thought that a good man would not fight with a woman. So Yuan Tan stopped making things difficult for Cai Jiduo, and turned back to Guo Tu and said, "Strategist, you come and tell all the gentlemen present how to fight this time." ”

After Guo Tu heard this, he got up and bowed his hand slightly to the civil and military forces present, and then pointed to the map hanging in the middle of the big tent and explained. In fact, Guo Tu's battle plan was not complicated. To put it bluntly, there are two sentences, one is "capture the thief and capture the king first", and the other is "kill the chicken and set an example for the monkey". And in the final analysis, it is to bulldoze the Tian Kai section entrenched in the plain. In Cai Ji's opinion, according to this battle plan, there is really no need for too many fierce generals to participate. An open jaw alone is enough to level the plain. As for the subsequent pacification of the entire territory of Qingzhou, it was entirely the work of the scribes. No wonder Yuan Shao did not send military generals, but let Guo Tu and other scribes lead the Qingzhou strategy this time. It's just that looking at Yuan Tan's late mother's face, it is estimated that this kid has not figured out his father's thoughts until now. That's it, as long as the fire at the city gate does not affect the fish in the pond.

With this in mind, Cai Ji and his low-key attitude mixed up the entire combat meeting. It wasn't until Yuan Tan finished his summary statement in an impassioned tone that Cai Ji immediately left Licheng at a speed faster than a rabbit, lest Shi Ci, who had stayed for a long time, be forcibly abducted by Yuan Tan. However, Cai Ji didn't know that her idea was completely superfluous.

No, at the moment when Cai Ji left Licheng, Guo Tu had already hurriedly approached Yuan Tan and asked, "Great, why didn't you take the 17,000 soldiers and horses in Donglai for your own use just now?" Even if Taishi Ziyi doesn't agree to be a striker, you can let him come to the account and obey orders. ”

Who knew that Yuan Tan clenched his fists and snorted coldly, "Then Taishi Ziyi doesn't know how to lift, so why do I need to bother with him." Besides, I just want to prove to the world that even if Cai Anzhen doesn't help, I, Yuan Xiansi, can still take the entire territory of Qingzhou."
