The Han captives did not refuse Zhou Tai's questions, and immediately responded to Zhou Tai.

"These people are the people of Yamatai, the island country in the east, and after being captured by King De, they became my soldiers."

"Yamadai?"

Zhou Tai frowned when he heard the captive's words.

For this place called Yamatai, Zhou Tai has never heard of it.

Since he hadn't heard of it, he didn't know whether what the captive said was true or false.

But in short, he knew the origin of these people.

did not rashly lead his own men and horses to this so-called Yamatai island country.

Instead, he grabbed these captives and returned to Yangzhou, preparing to report the matter to Liu Zheng, and then listen to Liu Zheng's arrangement to see if he was directly chasing and killing to Yamatai.

Or how? This is all in charge of Liu Zheng, after all, Liu Zheng is His Majesty and the king of a country.

Although Zhou Tai has the right to command these naval armies, he still has to obey His Majesty the Emperor after all.

In this way, Zhou Tai returned to Jianye City with these captives.

It's just that Liu Zheng was not in Jianye at this time. He had just returned to the boundary of Xuzhou with Zhen Dao at this moment.

Things in Jizhou will soon come to fruition.

Liu Zheng took Guo Jia, Dian Wei and hundreds of Jinyi guards to stay in Jizhou, and it had no effect at all. Just their manpower can't control the situation in Jizhou.

Moreover, their purpose of going to Jizhou this time has been achieved, that is, to persuade the Zhen family to wander among the Yuan brothers and match the battle between the Yuan brothers.

Xuzhou City.

Liu Zheng returned to Tai Shici and Xu Huang's camp.

Quietly waiting for the news from Jizhou to come over.

He didn't even need to wait long, because the people of the Zhen family had already begun to act according to the plan, and according to Guo Jia's words, they pretended to be a group of people and escorted the grain and grass to Yuan Tan's place.

Yuan Xi was already short of grain and grass, if he couldn't get some grain and grass at this time, then his soldiers and horses would not be able to withstand the consumption for two months.

Only at this time can he stabilize the morale of the army by snatching some grain and grass from Yuan Tan's hands, otherwise, without the soldiers and horses under the grain and grass to rebel, he will not be able to bear this result.

On the contrary, although Yuan Tan's men had many soldiers and horses, he was not short of food and grass for a while.

Because he borders Liu Bei's territory, if there is no grain and grass, he can go directly to Liu Bei to buy it, Liu Bei at this moment is not short of grain and grass, although Liu Bei and Yuan Tan have just fought before, but the enemies and friends of the moment are related to interests.

At this moment, Liu Bei also wants to watch the Yuan brothers fight, if Hebei is chaotic, Liu Bei will have the opportunity to take advantage of the victory to pursue and occupy the north in one fell swoop.

If Yuan Tan was defeated by Yuan Xi, it would not be a good thing for Liu Bei.

Therefore, Liu Bei did not want to see Yuan Tan defeated by Yuan Xi, and it was understandable that he privately funded Yuan Tan with some grain and grass.

Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi's soldiers and horses, the two sides had a battle in the Julu realm.

In this battle, 30,000 troops under Yuan Tan participated, and Zhang He, the first general under Yuan Tan, personally commanded.

And Yuan Xi's side was also not to be outdone, and the vanguard army of 20,000 led by Zhang Nan went to the battle.

Speaking of which, Zhang He and Zhang Nan belong to the same clan, but now they are fighting on the battlefield. Even if they are brothers, they have to distinguish the winners and losers.

After all, each is its own master, and Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi are brothers who kill each other.

Zhang He and Zhang Nan were both generals under Yuan Shao. Of course, Zhang He is more famous.

Both of these men were historically at the Battle of Guandu, when Yuan's army surrendered to Cao Cao after a major defeat.

It's just that Zhang He is more capable and mixes well under Cao Cao. gradually became the pillar of Cao Wei's later period.

And this Zhang Nanke is not so lucky, although he also took refuge in Cao Cao, but his ability is very average, and he has not been reused by Cao Cao.

After going on several expeditions with Cao Cao. didn't get the opportunity to show his skills, and the only one who had an appearance record was when he was on the longboard slope, and he once fought against Zhao Yun.

In the end, when attacking Soochow, he was beheaded by Zhou Tai, the general of Soochow.

Of course, the current Zhang He and Zhang Nan are both generals under the Yuan brothers.

The two of them lined up on the battlefield, and after a battle, they had their own victories and defeats.

Although Zhang He has a stronger ability to command troops, he has more things to take care of, and he can't devote himself to the battle, and Zhang Nan is only a vanguard army, even if Zhang He wants to gain some more advantages and then take advantage of the victory to pursue, he does not dare to be too brave.

After all, once the pursuit is too fierce, it is very likely to be surrounded by Yuan Xi's main army.

When the time comes, he will be surrounded by the enemy, and even Zhang He will not be able to return to the sky.

Half a month later, Zhang He fought steadily and steadily, but he still defeated Zhang Nan's vanguard army.

Zhang Nan, who was defeated, looked disappointed and went to Yuan Xi to ask for guilt.

However, Yuan Xi did not blame Zhang Nan for this.

Although Zhang Nan suffered a defeat, he also found out Yuan Tan's current strength for Yuan Xi and others.

At this moment, Yuan Tan only has forty or fifty thousand soldiers and horses.

Yuan Xi has enough ability to mobilize troops and horses to inflict heavy losses on Yuan Tan, and when the time comes, he will be able to scavenge a batch of grain and grass by occupying Yuan Tan's territory. Alleviate Yuan Xi's dilemma of food and grass shortage at the moment.

After knowing that Zhang Nan was defeated, Yuan Xi once again ordered his general Badun to attack Yuan Tan.

Badun was a general under Yuan Xi.

At the same time, it is also the new Shan Yu of those Karasuma people under Yuan Xi now.

When Yuan Xi ruled Youzhou, he had a very good relationship with the Karasuma people.

The most powerful of the Karasuma tribes is called Chuliju.

At one point, this man had more than 100,000 cavalry.

It's a pity that last year, Qiu Liju fell ill and died.

Qiu Liju's youngest son was too young to succeed to the throne.

And this Badun is Qiu Liju's slave, who is powerful and a well-known warrior of all tribes. It's not just about fighting well. It is also worshiped by many Karasuma people.

Therefore, he succeeded Shan Yu and became the new leader of the Karasuma people.

Even the men and horses of the other tribes have no doubt that Badun will succeed to the throne and become the new good.

And this time, attacking Yuan Tan was the first battle that he fought under Yuan Xi's men.

Badun also wanted to perform well in front of Yuan Xi.

In this way, Badun led 30,000 iron horsemen in his tribe to rush directly from Youzhou to Jizhou.

And in the Julu realm, he once again faced the main army of Zhang He, who had been killed.

On one side were 30,000 iron horsemen, and on the other side were the old, weak, sick and disabled led by infantry.

The outcome of this battle was naturally not surprising.
