The day after Zheng's family reunion,

In Zheng Yuan's study, Zheng Yuan said to the third brother Zheng Rang on the side: "Third brother, I look at Cao Cao, Han Cheng is not a thing in the pool, but although Cao Cao was defeated in Bianshui, he has become famous all over the world, and there must be many strategists and fierce generals who defect to him;

There is no foolproof thing about fighting for world domination, I want you to arrange some businessmen in the family to give Han Chengke some necessary help.

If Cao Cao can succeed, these merchants are not from my Zheng family, but their own private behavior; If Han Cheng can succeed, then these businessmen are the connection between my Zheng family and Han Cheng.

In this way, no matter what, my Zheng family must be the last beneficiary.

As for Yuan Shaogong, Sun Zan and Kong Rong and others, everyone in my Zheng family can serve under them and serve them. But when necessary, for the sake of the family, some can be sacrificed. ”

.....

Xu Rong led the soldiers and horses to chase Cao Cao for twenty miles, and when he was about to reach the sour date, he saw that he really couldn't catch up with Cao Cao.

Then he arranged for people to return to Xingyang City to report the news: let Li Meng, the defender of Xingyang City, rush to Chang'an with food and baggage.

As a result, the news of Xingyang City being occupied by Han Cheng of the Jizhou Army was received.

Seeing that the alliance army of the princes was coming straight to Xingyang City, the time was urgent, so he could only abandon Xingyang City, lead the army straight to Chang'an, and chase Dong Zhuo.

......

Hearing that Han Cheng, the Jizhou army, had occupied Xingyang City, the leader of the alliance, Yuan Shao, had no expression, and casually arranged for a prince to garrison Xingyang City, so he ordered the army to go straight to Luoyang.

When he returned to the big tent, he yelled at Guo Tu: "What about your plan? ”

Guo Tu knew Yuan Shao's temper, so he could only say with a correct attitude: "It's the subordinates who have not thought it through, please punish the lord." ”

"Forget it, it's not your business, it's Han Cheng, this kid is too slippery. This punishment should be remembered first, and the next one will not be an example. ”

Guo Tu's plan was to send someone to pass the news of Cao Cao and Han Cheng's pursuit of Dong Zhuo to the Western Liang army in Xingyang, so that the Western Liang army in Xingyang could send troops and kill Cao Cao and Han Cheng with their hands.

If Han Cheng and Cao Cao escaped, they would spread rumors in Yecheng that Han Cheng defected to Cao Cao, Han Fu was resourceful and indecisive by nature, and he would not let Han Cheng lead the army again.

As a result, Han Cheng did not unite with Cao Cao's soldiers. Cao Cao was defeated in an ambush in Bianshui, but instead cheapened Han Cheng, deceived the defenders of Xingyang City with a strategy, occupied Xingyang City at a very low price, and showed his face once in the alliance.

Within a day, the army of the princes drove to the city of Luoyang, and according to the regulations, the princes led their troops into Luoyang, and the things they obtained depended on their luck.

That night, Jiangdong Army Sun Jian's subordinates found the corpse of a palace maid in a broken well in the palace, and accidentally found the heirloom jade seal on the body of the palace maid.

On the second day, Sun Jian said goodbye to Yuan Shao early and went back to Jiangdong.

As a result, somehow, the news that Sun Jian had to pass on the jade seal of the country spread rapidly among the alliance army, and Yuan Shao summoned Sun Jian back to explain the matter, but Sun Jian did not listen and led the army straight to Jiangdong.

Yuan Shao was angry: This kind of thing should not be deserved by the alliance leader, he is the alliance leader, but Sun Jian did not offer it, and he didn't put himself as the alliance leader in his eyes at all. He even dared to take possession of it privately, I asked him if he wanted it, and he dared to refuse to run away, because he didn't know how powerful my Yuan family was? Hmph, I can't get it, and you Sun Jian can't think of it.

Then he announced to the world that Sun Jian had passed on the jade seal of the country, which caused Sun Jian to start a war with Liu Biao, the pastor of Jingzhou, when he crossed the river in Jingzhou and returned to Jiangdong, and was shot to death by Huang Zu, Liu Biao's subordinate.

......

On the other hand, Han Fu didn't gain anything in Luoyang, so he said goodbye to Yuan Shao and led the Jizhou army back to Jizhou early.

Han Cheng was promoted to general of Fenwu because of his meritorious service, and Han Fu allowed him to command 15,000 troops, and he could recruit troops independently if he was not enough, and stationed in Changshan County.

Don't look at this Fenwu general, although he is a miscellaneous general, it is of great significance.

The title of Miscellaneous General is mainly set according to its purpose, either after the troops he leads (such as the Cavalry), or after the mission he pursues (such as the Raider), or even because of the nursery rhyme.

Fenwu means to fight by force, which shows Han Fu's expectations for force and his trust in Han Cheng.

Although General Fenwu is not as decent as General Zhengxi and General Zhengdong, who are canonized by the imperial court, General Miscellaneous is also a general. Generals, they can open a government, become an army on their own, set up their own long history, Sima, engage in it, etc.

This is a reward from Han Fu to Han Cheng, and it is also a kind of trust, or a kind of protection for the Han family.

When he returned to his barracks, everyone greeted him, and everyone first congratulated Han Cheng: Han Cheng's exploits in outwitting Xingyang City, although he did not announce it to the world, but after the mouth of the Liu family, it was also widely publicized in the army; In addition, Han Cheng was named General Fenwu, and he could become an army on his own, and everyone in the army could be promoted, so everyone in the army was happy.

Next, Han Cheng carried out a series of promotions, scattered the 1,500 captives brought back from Xingyang, incorporated them into the original army, and recruited more than 3,000 soldiers. And the original army and the captured, as well as the horses purchased by the Liu family, put together, remove the old horses, bad horses, and injured horses, and form a cavalry, a total of more than 2,500 people, called the Qinglong Battalion.

Huang Zhong was also promoted to lieutenant, and more than 3,000 people with superhuman arm strength and good archery in the army were selected to form a strong bow battalion. He was appointed as a chief of staff and led all the military personnel. Zhang He and Wei Yan were both promoted to military commanders, exercising the power of captains and commanding the remaining men. Those who perform well in the army will be promoted to the army, and Du Bo will not be counted.

On the other hand, because Yuan Shao was the leader of the crusade against Dong Zhuo, coupled with his illustrious background of "Four Worlds and Three Dukes", many families sent their children to rush to defect, and only one Bohai County could no longer afford Yuan Shao's ambitions, so according to his plan, he plotted Jizhou, which is the world's most capitalist.

His staff Feng Ji persuaded Yuan Shao to raise troops to attack Jizhou, but Yuan Shao hesitated and couldn't make up his mind.

Feng Ji said: "It's easy to take Jizhou, and the lord can take three steps.

In the first step, Han Fu's general Koji Yi is arrogant and arrogant, and he has long been dissatisfied with Han Fu, so we can arrange a person who can speak good ways to rebel against Han Fu, and we will form an alliance with him. After taking Jizhou, with the reputation of the lord, he will be able to steadily suppress and subdue this person.

In the second step, he secretly made an appointment with Sun Zhan, the Taishou Gonggong of Beiping, and asked him to raise troops to attack Jizhou in the south. After the deed was completed, the two of us divided Jizhou equally.

In the third step, when Gongsun Zhan's army moves, Han Fu will inevitably panic, and we will leave Bohai County, and then take the opportunity to send someone Han Fu trusted and eloquent to explain the stakes to Han Fu, not afraid that he will not let him come out of Jizhou. ”

When Yuan Shao heard this, he shouted happily: "This plan is feasible. ”

Then he ordered his subordinates who could speak well to go to Gongsun Chan and Ju Yi to lobby.
