On this day, it happened that Lu Yi was walking around Yuan Shao's camp, and the Xiandeng battalion stationed on the east side simply did not have enough troops to patrol the long coastline in the distance.

After the Liaodong Army landed on the tidal flats where the water easily entered the sea, they met Gongsun Fan and others who came to meet them.

Gongsun Fan, Le Yaoshi, and the officials of the Four Seas Merchant Gang had already disguised themselves as herds here, but in fact brought a thousand high-quality war horses and thousands of fat sheep.

Zhao Yun and Gongsun Kang were overjoyed, they didn't expect that the returning White Horse Yicong and the Four Seas Merchant Gang would be able to get so many war horses in Yuan Shao's jurisdiction.

Gongsun Fan introduced that this is thanks to the help of Zhongshan businessmen Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang.

The two were famous in history for selling horses to finance Liu Guanzhang's army, and now they have been in contact with Gongsun Chan and others.

After a while, two businessmen who were over fifty years old and had some vicissitudes and a little wealth followed the pharmacist to everyone.

It turned out that they had maintained certain trade contacts with Gongsun Zhan, Zhang Yan, and Taiyuan for a long time.

Recently, due to the war between Yuan Shao, Liu He and Gongsun Zhan, the business in the north is not easy to do.

Fortunately, the rise of the Xinxi Liang Army on the side of Taihang Mountain brought the entire Bingzhou back to life, and half of Zhongshan Kingdom was located in the mountainous area and was not under Yuan Shao's control. So they gradually got into contact with the merchant gangs from all over the world.

Gongsun Kang also inquired about the situation of the other merchants.

Zhang Shiping, who is close to the age of six, introduced: "This Zhongshan country has long been at the junction of Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan. The two of them mainly sell horses and take the route of Youzhou in the north. ”

"In addition to being famous for selling horses, Zhongshan also has the Zhen family, which is mainly engaged in cloth and grain business, and is almost as rich as the country."

But the Zhen family, due to their origin, location, and trading partners, was more inclined to cooperate with the Yuan family. And they, like most Youzhou men, have almost no good impression of Yuan Shao. ”

Zhao Yun said: "That's true, Yuan Shao is the fourth and third dukes of the chaotic world after all. I, Tian Chou, Tian Yu, and many other friends didn't want to see Yuan Shao go north. ”

Gongsun Kang also said, "That's true, we all know that General Baima and my father finally suppressed Wu Huan. ”

"But this Yuan Shao greatly supported the Wuhuan kings, allowing them to regain their footing. In particular, the Na Gang Dun Department has the name of the reincarnation of Maodun and Tanshi Huai, and has now cut off the road between Liaodong and Jixian County. ”

A trace of anger flashed in Zhao Yun's eyes, they supported Gongsun Zhan in the first place, because he beat the Hu people and defended the northeastern frontier.

But now, Yuan Shao has co-opted various places in Youzhou to divide the strong and strong, and rebelled against Gongsun Zan together. This approach can certainly hasten the downfall of Gongsun Zhan, but it will make the middle and lower classes in Youzhou never have any hope of raising their heads.

What is even more indignant is that in order to deal with Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Shao falsely passed on the holy decree and granted the orders of Shan Yu to Bandun, Nanlou, Wuyan, Su Puyan and others.

And these people are encroaching on the land of Youzhou, and they have completely blocked the daily contact between Liaodong and Youbeiping, which is a matter of the past two years.

Especially this Badun, who is extremely capable, is known as the name of the new generation of Maodun, and as the son of Qiu Liju, he overwhelms the young Lou Ban and leads the Wuhuan Shan Yu Department.

This person became big and went south, making Gongsun Zhan's nearly ten years of hard work in vain, and Youyan Han'er was of course heartbroken.

In order to confront Gongsun Zhan, Zhang Yan and the Xinxi Liang army, Yuan Shao made greater concessions than history.

He planned to divide and rule Youzhou, with Yan Rou, Xian Yufu, Wang Song, Tian Yu and others governing the west of Youbeiping, which is the west of today's Tangshan and Zunhua, until Zhangjiakou, Weixian, Lingqiu and other places. And Liaoxi was handed over to the Wuhuan people to support them to hinder the development of Gongsun Du in Liaodong.

In this way, he can take most of Jizhou, as well as part of Youzhou and Qingzhou, to fight a decisive battle with the Xinxi Liang Army in Bingzhou. Eventually, it controlled the entire Jizhou, as well as a considerable part of the state.

Zhao Yun, Tian Chou, Tian Yu and many other Youzhou rangers and heroes sneered at Yuan Shao.

It's just because Liu Yu, Liu and his father and son are very benevolent and righteous, and they have a high prestige in Youyan. Now Liu He is actively running under Yuan Shao's account, and he is trying his best to encircle and suppress Gongsun Zan to take revenge, and it is inconvenient for many people to really go against him.

Pharmacist Le said: "How to break the siege, there is no special arrangement for the Four Seas Merchant Gang, but it will pass on the information as soon as possible to rescue General Baima from the predicament." ”

Zhao Yun said: "In this case, then we will attack with hoplites, and then 1,500 Liaodong iron cavalry, encircle the point to send reinforcements, and drive the rout to disrupt the encirclement." ”

After a little more discussion and some suggestions, the battle finally began.

At the same time, Yuan Shao's closed camp is here.

"My lord, I understand. If this war is only judged from my personal perspective, I am only a fierce general after all, and I will not be able to truly assist you in the cause of hegemony. ”

After this month of intensive training, Yan Liang has a deep understanding of his own problems, and at this time he is meticulously reflecting and loyal.

Yuan Shao said with a little seriousness: "Yan Liang, you are very brave and have achieved a lot of achievements. But you have to remember that there are too many famous players who are just blinded by past achievements. As a result, he suffered a painful defeat and had no chance to turn over. ”

Yan Liang replied sincerely: "Understood! Although I cannot understand all of the words of my lord, I will definitely remember this shame and will not be intoxicated by my previous achievements. ”

Yuan Shao raised his head slightly, and said earnestly:

"After exterminating Gongsun Zan this time and defeating Tong Yuan and Zhang Yan again, our side will have the power of Ji, Qing, You, and the four states. In addition, many scholars in Hedong have long wanted to welcome us, and with the cooperation of Cao Cao and Liu Biao, it is not far from the day when the world will be stable. ”

"When the time comes, the position of the general of the DPRK may be waiting for you to fight. I believe that if you can keep working hard, that position will be yours sooner or later. ”

Yan Liang replied with admiration on his face: "Lord, the last general will definitely do his best!" ”

"Whether the opponent is Zhang Yan, Gongsun Zhan, or Tong Yuan's thief, I can bite them fiercely and let the lord annihilate them."

Yuan Shao smiled with satisfaction and said, "Failure is not terrible, and it can even become the driving force for us to move forward." I'm looking forward to your performance, and from today you need to guard against the direction of Taihang Mountain. ”

Tears of gratitude flashed in Yan Liang's eyes, and he said excitedly: "Don't worry, lord!" I will definitely make the enemy pay a heavy price. ”

Zhang He on the side is not like Yan Liang in his heart, he did not give up his previous views, let alone accept continuous criticism, denial and reporting, and was very angry at Yuan Shao's intimidation.

To be honest, he was a little resistant to this month, and he felt relaxed about the imminent lifting of the lockdown.
