"Puff~"

Yuan Shang sat down on the futon, looked at Feng Ji in a daze, and no longer had the strength to get angry again: "Where is Xianyi?" Why did you let that Tai Shi Ci take Changshan lightly? Could it be the same as Yuan Tan, down? ”

"The second prince did not surrender, but the two generals Zhang Nan and Jiao Touch heard that Yecheng had been broken, and took the initiative to surrender Tai Shici, and it was because of this that the two defected, so that Tai Shici occupied Daijun in one fell swoop, but did not take Youzhou, but waved his army south, and went straight to Changshan, it seems that he wanted to join Chen Mo's main force." Feng Ji smiled bitterly.

Jizhou has become like this, not only the morale of the army is low, but the generals from all over the country have also begun to separate from the Yuan family, the gateway to Youzhou is lost, Tai Shici has captured Changshan again, and he is looking at Zhongshan, and the next step is probably to join forces with Wei County.

"My lord, at this time, we should retreat to Handan as soon as possible to prevent Tai Shici from waving his troops and going straight into Wei County." He said in a deep voice.

Kind? If Tai Shi Ci waved his troops into Zhongshan now, but Zhongshan was only defended by some county soldiers, and the number was only two or three thousand, how could he stop Tai Shi Ci's army?

The surrender of Zhang Nan and Jiao Touch is like two stones digging a dike, Changshan and Zhongshan have no strength to stop each other, and the current Jizhou is like a broken ship full of holes, full of loopholes.

"Ordered Xianyi to lead the army to garrison Yuyang, guard against the Gongsun clan, and dispatch the summons to the south to go to Julu to resist Tai Shici!" Yuan Shang gritted his teeth and ordered.

Liaodong Gongsun is not a threat compared to Tai Shi Ci now, and now among the generals under Yuan Shang, only those who still maintain their combat strength are left, and Yuan Shang can only hope that Zhao can repel Tai Shi Ci now: "Our army retreats to Handan, and after Zhao Zhao leads the army to come, we will make plans!" ”

"Whoa!" Everyone agreed, and there seemed to be no better way at the moment.

On the other side, Changshan, is really determined.

After Tai Shi Ci invaded Changshan and Zhongshan, he did not occupy Changshan as quickly as he got the news over there, Chen Mo's reputation in Jizhou was not good, some of the meaning of being demonized, it was okay when attacking Dai County, after Zhang Nan and Jiao Touch surrendered, Dai Jun could be said to have changed his surname directly, but after entering Changshan, he was directly taken by the Yuan family, and it was also Changshan County, Changshan was too afraid of Tai Shi Ci's troops, and directly fled with his family, which is also the reason why Ding Changshan was lost.

But after taking the Yuan clan lightly, the resistance of the counties and the bandits that rose up gave Tai Shi Ci a headache, so he could only stop the pace of going south and send troops to attack the counties, but fortunately, Wuji Zhen has now secretly voted for Chen Mo, and after Tai Shi Ci attacked in, he welcomed Tai Shi Ci into the city, so that Tai Shi Ci had a place to stay.

Zhending is less than sixty miles west of Wuji, but there is a river to block, Zhending ordered to gather villagers to resist the Guanzhong army, when Tai Shi Ci attacked the southbound Tang and other counties, he had already begun to mobilize the people to strengthen the city defense, destroy the bridge, and so on Tai Shi Ci waved his troops to hit Zhending, Zhending city defense has been quite large-scale.

However, no matter how strong it is, it is only a county seat, and for Tai Shici, such a city is not strong.

Zhending Ling naturally knew this, so when Tai Shi Ci's soldiers came, he had already sent a letter asking for help from all over the country, hoping to stop Tai Shi Ci here.

"Tai Shi Ci is a general under the command of Chen Thief, in the early years, he led the army to break through Guanzhong, and later guarded Yanmen, and defeated the Xianbei tribes several times, and his subordinates are all elite soldiers, we have no soldiers and no generals, how can we be its opponents?" In Zhending County, Zhending Ling sighed, although he decided to resist the Guanzhong Army, but at present, in Zhending City, in addition to the two hundred county guards, there are more than 1,000 private soldiers supported by the local wealthy families and temporarily recruited people.

Even if he didn't know about the army, but in the face of the surging Guanzhong army, Zhen Dingling also knew that it was impossible to block it with his own men, which was still he ordered people to chisel the frozen ice surface of the river outside the city in advance, and destroyed the bridge, so that Tai Shici did not dare to cross the river easily, after all, no one knows whether the refrozen river can pass the army, but in such a cold weather, the ice on the river surface may not take a few days to freeze thick again.

"Ling Jun, I'm really sure there are actually generals." A county official laughed.

"Oh?" Zhen Dingling was surprised when he heard this: "How come I don't know? ”

"This person is a disciple of Zhao Zhuang in my county, once joined Gongsun Zhan, in the boundary bridge battle against General Wenchou regardless of the victory, and later Gongsun Chan was defeated, and his people also returned to their hometown, if you can invite this person, not to mention the big break of the enemy, but it is enough to defend the city."

"Can you fight against General Wen Chou?" Zhending Ling was overjoyed when he heard this, Wen Chou was one of the best generals under Yuan Shao in the past, and he could compete with Wen Chou, not to mention anything else, at least his martial arts were not bad, and he asked at the moment: "Who is this?" ”

"This person is the son of Zhao Pan, Zhao Yun, the word Zilong, in the early years of worship Tong Yuan as a teacher, in the mountains to practice martial arts, quite a blood, voted for Gongsun Chan, but also the name of Mu Gongsun Chan, quite brave, and he is the son of Zhao, if you can invite him to come, then Zhao will definitely help!" The county magistrate smiled.

"Very well, very well, then send someone to invite him." The county order is overjoyed, the Zhao family is not a big clan in Jizhou or even in Changshan, but in Zhending, it is an authentic hero, and there are three or five hundred private soldiers in the clan.

"Zhao Pan had some friendship with Zaixia in the past, so he went to persuade Zaixia!" The county magistrate got up with a smile and said.

"It's hard work!" The county magistrate nodded, and motioned for the county officials to leave immediately, Tai Shici has now reached the other side of the river, that Wuji Zhen is really hateful!

After the county official said goodbye to the county order, he took people to Zhaozhuang with generous gifts.

Zhao Zhuang, Zhao Yun, who had just completed his brother's filial piety, heard that the county official asked to see him, and frowned, what did this county official come to say, he could probably think that Jizhou was now attacked by Cao Cao and Chen Mo.

"Childe, now that the Guanzhong army has occupied Yecheng, the Yuan clan has lost the door, and its decline has appeared, at this time, you must not rashly provoke the Guanzhong army!" Butler Zhao Zhuang came to Zhao Yun and bowed down to persuade.

"But together with the war and disaster, it is the people who suffer in the end." Zhao Yun shook his head, got up and said, "How can I bear to really suffer a military disaster?" ”

"Childe, although the Guanzhong army often treats the gentry harshly, I have never heard of the Guanzhong army slaughtering the people, even if it is broken, it will not kill the people."

Zhao Yun didn't speak, Chen Mo's reputation in Jizhou is really not good, when he went to the county seat in the past, he heard a lot of words, and everywhere he criticized Chen Mo for how he misled the country in Guanzhong's new policy, he had never been to Bingzhou or Guanzhong, but he heard a lot of this kind of language, and over time, he also had some rejection of the Guanzhong Army.

"No matter what, as a true person, I have to contribute to the true determination after all." Zhao Yun shook his head, got up and said, "The other party is an old friend of my father, and now he has come according to the courtesy, so it's not good to keep him out after all, go and invite him in." ”

"Alas!" The butler sighed, agreed, and turned to ask for someone.

After a while, the county official came in and smiled at Zhao Yun and said, "Virtuous nephew, you and I haven't seen each other for many years. ”

"Thank you uncle for taking care of my brother in the first place." Zhao Yun returned the salute, and the guests and hosts of the two sides sat down and said: "Over the years, the clouds have been wandering all over the world, and I have to thank my uncle for his help." ”

"Where is it, I am also close friends with Brother Yongling, and the Zhao family has the grace of knowing me, and I am a little busy, not enough to worry about." The county official shook his head, this county official doesn't even count as an official, but even if ordinary people have talent, if no one recommends them, they can't be able to be if they want to, in this kind of place, the Zhao family is the head snake who holds the real power, and he was recommended by Zhao Yun's father Zhao Pan back then, so he has today's status, and he is also one of Zhao's connections in Zhending County.

After the two sides exchanged polite words, the county official explained his intentions: "Zilong, now Tai Shici is really sure to wave his troops, do you know?" ”

"Of course I know." Zhao Yun nodded, they were all on the other side of the river, how could they not know? After thinking about it, he said: "Tai Shi Ci is a general in Guanzhong, but as far as I know, this person is not a wicked person, when he was in Yanmen Pass, he repelled the Hu people several times to keep one side safe, and he did not kill innocents indiscriminately in Dai County, and now the Yuan clan has been broken, in Changshan, as far as Yun knows, there is no army stationed, why should the county order be stubborn?" ”

"Zilong doesn't know." The county official sighed and said: "Although the Guanzhong army rarely slaughtered the people, Zilong probably doesn't know that the Yecheng gentry were slaughtered by Chen Mo more than half, such a tyrannical person, if he is truly determined, I am afraid that the first person to suffer is a big family like the Zhao family." ”

Zhao Yun frowned when he heard this: "There is such a thing? ”

"Yes, otherwise you see that the gentry have sent troops and efforts, why?" The county magistrate nodded and said, "The people may be fine, but gentry like Zilong may be ......."

Zhao Yun frowned, he has the heart to protect the territory and the people, but he also has to protect his family, if the Guanzhong army really slaughters the gentry without asking about the merits, then this battle is not for the people, but for himself.

After thinking for a while, Zhao Yun looked at the county officials and said: "Uncle, I look at the county order, it seems that I want to defend the county seat, but it is really not a small city, the city is less than three zhang high, although there are gentry in the city to help, but there are only more than a thousand soldiers and horses to gather, how can I defend the city?" In the opinion of the clouds, it is better to garrison troops on the riverside, set up camps, arrow towers, if the thieves come to attack, one can be half-crossed and attacked, the two can also occupy the geographical advantage, if the other party marches on the ice, it is the Guanzhong army brave, I am afraid it is difficult to exert combat power in this terrain, so, although the advantage of the city is lost, but it occupies the geographical advantage, which can stop the Tai Shi Ci. ”

"So, Zilong is willing to send troops?" The county magistrate was overjoyed when he heard this, and got up and asked.

"If it's really as my uncle said, there is no reason for Yun Zi not to fight." Zhao Yun nodded, although he didn't think much of the Yuan family, but it was about the survival of the family and the catastrophe of his hometown, no matter what, he couldn't stay out of it.

"Then follow me to the county order and discuss the plan!"

"Good!"
