After Liu Yu defeated Yuan Shao's main force, Zhao Yun pursued Yuan Shao and returned to Julu with Zhang Yan to join Liu Yu.

Zhang Yan's subordinates were all thieves, and they had heard that their leader was the general of Liu Yu, the king of Zhao, but Zhang Yan never admitted it.

Liu Yu disclosed Zhang Yan's identity in front of everyone, and Zhang Yan's subordinates laughed happily. Can you be happy, they were just some thieves who couldn't get by and then fell into the grass, this life of licking blood from the knife edge is not what anyone wants to live, as Zhang Yan's identity is confirmed, then they are the regular army under Liu Yu, and they can fight for their children and grandchildren in the future. No matter how bad it is, he can become a commoner, and under Liu Yu's rule, he can enjoy a stable life with his wife and children.

At the same time, Zhang Liao sent Pang De to lead thousands of soldiers and horses to Julu, hoping that Liu Yu could fight him on both sides.

Coupled with the surrender of tens of thousands of Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses, Liu Yu's troops have reached a peak in Hebei this time, and they can freely put their troops into the entire Jizhou and even the Central Plains.

Yuan Shao's defeat meant that all the counties in the western part of Jizhou did not have any military strength to pose any threat to Liu Yu. After discussing with Tian Feng, Liu Yu and Tian Feng prepared to take advantage of this opportunity to march into Yecheng and destroy Yuan Shao in one fell swoop.

But after Guo Tu handed over his plan and Yecheng's intelligence to Liu Yu, Liu Yu dispelled this idea.

Guo Tu's intelligence is very important to Liu Yu, and he also attaches great importance to Guo Tu's usefulness to himself now, and he still feels that he will do it according to Guo Tu's plan.

"I didn't expect Guo Gongze to be so powerful, and I thought I couldn't plan such a big plan like him." Tian Feng sighed sincerely after reading Guo Tu's plan.

Liu Yu also thinks so, when he threatened Guo Tu to take refuge in himself, he purely wanted to put a nail in Yuan Shao's place, as for the result, whether Guo Tu lived or died in the end, he didn't care much. Now that Guo Tu has created such a big return for himself, is this considered a bright future?

"Guo Gong Ze is a rare talent, and this king will be reused after defeating Yuan Shao in the future!" Liu Yu also defined Guo Tu.

After Tian Feng pondered for a while, he asked Liu Yu: "Guo Tu said in the intelligence that Yuan Shao will die of illness in a few days, which is a bit difficult. Where did Guo Tu get his faith? ”

Liu Yu said with a smile: "This king thinks that Guo Gong has his own way, and now Yuan Shao is still fighting, and now he can win by marching in, but our army will also suffer great losses." Let's take down the other counties in the western part of Jizhou first. ”

Tian Feng understood that it was best to wait for Yuan Shao to die before making a decision, and eat other places first.

The 30,000 troops led by Lu Bu finally joined Liu Yu and brought the news of the fall of Jicheng.

Liu Yu affirmed that Lu Bu and them had captured Jicheng and gave them a great credit.

Jicheng was captured, then the control of Youzhou was firmly in the hands of Liu Yu, Yuan Shao was left with most of Qingzhou and Jizhou, and Liu Yu already occupied an absolute offensive advantage.

Lu Bu was praised by Liu Yu, and his face was full of joy, which made Dian Wei very unaccustomed to it, and he pushed Guan Yu next to him on his shoulder and said: "It takes so long to fight a Jicheng, and he still has the face to say that he is the first general!" I've never seen anyone so cheeky. ”

"Norikuro, who are you talking about?!" Lu Bu was angry, he was a little embarrassed after fighting Jicheng for so long, but he didn't expect Dian Wei to open which pot to mention, specifically to expose his scars. And the first military general was sealed by someone else, and he didn't claim it.

"Yo, I was talking to Yun Chang just now, why did you interject. Yun Chang, do you know this person? Dian Wei pretended not to know Lu Bu.

Guan Yu had a black line, and it was difficult for him to be a man in the middle, so he had to close his eyes and say nothing.

"Okay, no kidding, don't talk nonsense now. Let's get down to business! Liu Yu turned his face away, and Dian Wei and Lu Bu immediately returned to their original positions.

Everyone was waiting for Liu Yu's order, and Liu Yu took out the advance plan that he had discussed with Tian Feng and read: "Zhao Yun listens to the order!" Order you to lead 10,000 cavalry to Changshan County, and you must succeed! ”

"The last general commands!" Zhao Yun received the military order. Changshan County is Zhao Yun's hometown, and it would be better for Zhao Yun to go.

"Zhang Yan, order your troops to march into Guangping County, stabilize the grain road, exterminate the bandits and grass bandits, and keep the grain road from losing." Liu Yu continued.

"Zhang Yan understands!" Zhang Yan is the most experienced in dealing with thieves.

And at this time, Feng Ji came to Liu Yu with Guo Tu's token.

"Zhang Ji and Zhang He, you led 20,000 infantry and cavalry to attack Anping County and open up the connection with Zhang Liao's department." Liu Yu ordered again.

Zhang He is the head snake of Jizhou, and if he goes out to attack Anping County, the effect will be much better. But Liu Yu was still not at ease with it, and placed a Zhang Ji next to him, which could play a role in surveillance. Liu Yuke doesn't have the mind to use people without suspicion, so it's better to be cautious in doing things.

Zhang He understands Liu Yu's hard work, he has no opinion, a new general like him, Liu Yu has entrusted a heavy task is already very good.

"The others led their own troops to focus on the giant deer and expand the scope of control. Surrender the counties, if there is a rebel, there will be no forgiveness! Liu Yu made the final arrangements.

"The last general commands!" Other generals have received military orders.

Not long after, Zhao Yun, Zhang Yan, Zhang He and Zhang Ji set off from Julu with soldiers and horses and slaughtered their destination.

Other generals also led their troops to attack the cities around Julu, constantly expanding the scope of Liu Yu's control.

As soon as Liu Yu's army arrived, the city it encountered surrendered with almost no resistance. The news of Yuan Shao's defeat had already spread around Julu. The county commanders and garrison generals of each county all understood that Yuan Shao had gone away, and the trend of Zhao King Liu Yu occupying Jizhou was irreversible. But when the forest is big, there are always a few unsociable birds.

Yuan Shao's confidant Su You and Wang Men led the defenders of Yangcheng County and Pu County to resist Liu Yu and did not accept Liu Yu's surrender.

These two people have also fallen for eight lifetimes, and they each met Lu Bu and Dian Wei, the most ferocious in Liu Yujun. Lu Bu was sneered at by Dian Wei, and he had already suppressed a wave of anger in his heart, but many cities surrendered without a fight, and Lu Bu was not easy to vent his anger. And Dian Wei just likes to be hard, that is, he likes others to resist, according to the current statement, that is a bit sadistic in nature.

Now the two of them are so good that they can't die, but they met these two murderous guys.

Lu Bu launched an attack very ferociously, and a wave of attacks captured Yangcheng. Su You realized at this time how stupid he was, too self-conscious. In order to survive, Su You tied himself up and walked to Lu Bu. Su You expressed his intention to surrender to Lu Bu, and Lu Bu raised his knife and slashed Su You into two pieces. It's not too late to surrender.

Dian Wei is not a human at all, when attacking Puxian, he took the lead in the city alone, wielding a double halberd and constantly harvesting life. The royal gate who came to block couldn't even take Dian Wei's move, so he was slapped into meat by Dian Wei. Where had the defenders seen such a terrible scene, they were all frightened, and they all laid down their arms and surrendered.

The news that the two resisting cities had been easily captured spread quickly, and no one dared to resist anymore, and honestly accepted the surrender.

All the cities around Julu surrendered to Liu Yu, who took control of the central area of Jizhou.

Zhang Yan killed Guangping County and pacified all the bandits and grass bandits in his territory.

In fact, it can't be said to be pacified, it should be said that the thieves and grass cobs all took the initiative to come to Zhang Yan. Zhang Yan was a good man in the green forest of Hebei, Qing and Youzhou before, and the thieves of Guangping County admired Zhang Yan's name for a long time and came to take refuge one after another. Zhang Yan asked Liu Yu about the situation, and of course Liu Yu agreed, and ordered these merit-based admissions to be admitted, and then arranged to serve as defenders in various cities. Liu Yu also told those thieves who had a lot of blood debts or did a lot of evil not to stay, and those who should be killed still had to see blood.

Zhang Yan understood this very well, and the thieves were willing to accept the arrangement. In addition to those thieves who did a lot of evil, Zhang Yan scolded Zhang Yan for ignoring the morality of the green forest. For these discordant voices, Zhang Yan directly took a crushing offensive, leaving no living mouth. After Zhang Yan's dose of fierce medicine in Guangping County, there are no more bandits and grass coves left. The people of Quang Binh County found that the soldiers defending the city were different from the previous ones, and they felt that they did not look like the official army. Therefore the eyes of the people are bright.

Zhang He and Zhang Ji's side was not so smooth, Yuan Shao sent a large number of troops to prevent Zhang Liao and Liu Yu from converging, and Zhang He and Zhang Ji were unable to break through for a while. It was not until Zhang Liao inquired about the news that he and Zhang He and Zhang Ji were caught between them and achieved their strategic goals.

Zhao Yun's march in Changshan County was very smooth, and no one dared to resist. Zhao Yun was suppressing bandits in Changshan when he didn't take refuge in Gongsun Zhan, but the people all knew Zhao Zilong's name. Changshan County Taishou knew that even if he wanted to resist, the people would definitely not support it, and Changshan Taishou felt that his subordinates might take their own heads to receive the reward.

Rather than being attacked and killed by others and becoming someone else's name for Liu Yu, it is better to surrender yourself.

In this way, Zhao Yun took Changshan County bloodlessly.

However, Zhao Yun will not come back so soon for a while, he is now surrounded by his Zhao family, and it is too difficult to get out.

Although the Zhao family is a big surname in Changshan and has a large number of people, it is not a big family, and now the Zhao family has a talent like Zhao Yun who can lead the prosperity of the Zhao family, and the Zhao family is very happy, and directly pulls Zhao Yun to worship the ancestors.

Zhao Yun has a soft personality on the outside and strong on the inside, he is still very good to his people, and he hasn't been home for many years, he also wants to see how his hometown has become.

So he reported his situation to Liu Yu, and Liu Yu also reasoned to let Zhao Yun rest for a few days.
