Chapter 123: Yan Shuai's Hope

"Yan Shuai! There's new news! ”

Zhang Yan sat in the military tent with a sad face.

He's actually quite worried.

He didn't expect that Dingyuanjun had no intention of helping.

What about the cooperation that was promised before?

Now Yuan Shao has occupied several cities in Qingzhou, although it has little impact on Zhang Yan, because Yuan Shao has not yet declared war with Zhang Yan, and he has attacked other cities.

But Qingzhou's territory is only so big.

Yuan Shao will eventually do it to himself.

Although the troops at hand are much stronger than Yuan Shao's, the problem is that the strength is insufficient.

Although Yuan Shao's army may not be as good as that of the state, it will definitely not be weaker than the Montenegrin army, and it can even have fewer enemies.

Last time, Zhang Yan let his cronies lead a small team of his own soldiers to sneak attack a grain transportation team of Yuan Shao, but he didn't fight too much and didn't fight, and fled back in defeat.

Could it be that Yuan Shao's grain transportation team is so strong?

In fact, after Zhang Yan found out, she was a little frightened.

If even the logistics soldiers are so strong, how terrifying will the strength of Yuan Shao's main force be?

You must know that your own soldiers are already the strongest team in your army.

So your strongest team can't beat one of the weakest troops?

In fact, if Yuan Shao knew Zhang Yan's thoughts, he would definitely laugh.

Because his territory is not large now, and grain and grass are the most important materials in his army at present, when transporting grain and grass, the core troops are arranged to transport it.

Even among Yuan Shao's main forces, these teams transporting grain are elite.

It's strange that Zhang Yan's personal soldiers can do it with that kind of strength.

This is especially true when the gap in numbers is not particularly large.

But Zhang Yan didn't know at all.

And he is also a sentimental man, don't look at him not so gentle, but in fact, his mind is still very delicate.

Judging from the difference between the strength of his own army and the strength of Yuan Shao's army, the gap is obvious.

And Liu Bei's army is not said to be much more than Yuan Shao's, and it is said that Yuan Shao avoided it because of the strength of the army, which means that the worst of the Bingzhou army is stronger than Yuan Shao's team, so to speak.

Is there a world of difference between his own Black Mountain Army and Liu Bei's Merge State Army?

The Bingzhou army must be very strong, so only one Dingyuan army will be put over, and they will feel that they can solve Yuan Shao.

But now the Dingyuan army has been standing still, and only sent troops to fight a small city, which looks like it has cut off the connection between Yuan Shao and Bohai, and there has been no action after that, which makes Zhang Yan panic.

The content of their covenant did not make it clear that they must help themselves solve Yuan Shao.

But without the help of Dingyuanjun, Zhang Yan felt that if he wanted to win Yuan Shao, he might be able to open five or five.

Now he is recruiting Qingzhou Yellow Turbans everywhere to join the Montenegrin Army.

There are a lot of additions to the strength, at least now the number of capable soldiers has reached a stable level of more than 300,000, and this number is still increasing.

And the Montenegrin Army is actually developing quite smoothly now.

The reason why it is so stable is that many of the former brothers of the Montenegrin Army who have emerged in recent times have shown their low-level management skills, and many low-level officers have been set up for a while, so that the Montenegrin Army can develop steadily.

I have to say that Zhang Yan feels that she still has hope.

As long as he can wait for the help of the Dingyuan army, he will be able to defeat Yuan Shao, take Qingzhou, and then continue his ideals.

So he's very concerned about the new news.

"What's the news, show me."

Zhang Yan grabbed the envelope.

only to find that the person who wrote the envelope didn't know him at all, and he wasn't from the Dingyuan Army?

Xu Yuanzhi of Taihang Academy?

Zhang Yan did not rush to throw away the letter, but opened the letter and read it carefully.

Oh?

The new commander in the Dingyuan Army?

On the orders of Mr. Chen Chen, he was fully responsible for the overall planning of the Qingzhou War?

The next step is to let the Dingyuan army attack Qingzhou, help the Montenegrin army defeat Yuan Shao's army, completely wipe out Yuan Shao's army in Qingzhou, and then let Zhang Yan control Qingzhou.

Because Qingzhou was planned to be Zhang Yan's territory in the covenant, before attacking Qingzhou, it was necessary to send a letter from Zhang Yan to obtain permission for the Dingyuan Army to enter and leave Qingzhou freely.

That's what this letter came about.

What is it?

Zhang Yan was a little confused, did the previous covenant say that he couldn't come in to help?

Could it be that the Dingyuan army didn't come to help because they had to abide by the covenant and wait until they got their permission and request before they entered Qingzhou?

Zhang Yan didn't know for a while whether it was better to say that Liu Bei's people kept their promises, or whether it was good to say that they were honest.

Fortunately, it can be seen from the letter that this new so-called military general has a very positive attitude towards coming to Qingzhou to defeat Yuan Shao.

And since Mr. Xiao Chen will send someone to help, he should still be very concerned about Qingzhou.

It seems that it is okay to rest assured that his ally Liu Bei will come to help.

Zhang Yan also wrote a letter in hand, promising to give the Dingyuan army the right to enter and leave Qingzhou freely at will, inviting them to get rid of the Yuan thieves and pacify Qingzhou.

In fact, Zhang Yan is also a dumb eater of Coptis chinensis, and she can't tell if she suffers.

He suddenly felt that he was a little similar to Yuan Shao, a little sympathetic.

The original three major forces in Jizhou.

In fact, it is their Black Mountain Army, Han Fu's Jizhou Army, and Yuan Shao's Army.

But now what.

The Montenegrin army attacked Yecheng to no avail, and was abducted and tricked by Chen Chen to Qingzhou.

And Han Fu's Jizhou army was directly merged and confiscated by Liu Bei's merger and state army, and even Han Fu and his son Han Zhang became Liu Bei's people together and went to Taihang Academy to retire.

Yuan Shao was also forced to lose his son over there, and ran to Qingzhou to survive.

How can it be a little weird when you think about it?

Now the entire Jizhou and Youzhou are in Liu Bei's hands.

But now is not the time to think, now in Qingzhou, except for Kong Rong and the two clans surnamed Liu who were not beaten down by Yuan Shao, the other territories are in the hands of Zhang Yan and Yuan Shao.

Now everyone is coming to Qingzhou to beg for a living.

There is not enough land.

But people need territory to survive.

It doesn't matter why or why you're here.

If you fight for the hope of surviving and passing on the same land, then there will be war.

He and Yuan Shao were facing each other head-on, they couldn't cooperate, and neither of them could beat Liu Bei, so they could only compete to see who could win the final victory.

Why is it impossible to cooperate?

Yuan Shao is a proud person.

He coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes.

The Montenegrin Army, formerly known as the Yellow Turban Army, would definitely not be able to enter his eyes.

Zhang Yan's letter was sent to Mount Tai.

Zhang Yan didn't know.

His reply letter directly made Xu Shu's planning officially unveiled!
