Jicheng.

Xu Shu sent the latest information to Zhao Hui.

The bandits who hid in the mountains have been wiped out.

Several leaders were captured alive, and in two days, they would be escorted to Jicheng.

But after asking for a confession, these leaders are also confused, and what they say is similar to the little thieves who were caught before.

I can't say why.

Anyway, they received a secret report from the younger brother below and knew that a caravan was going to pass through here, and then they came with men and horses.

As for the authenticity of the information, they did not verify it at all.

Because the younger brother under his command patted his chest and promised that if it was fake, he was willing to cut off his head.

These bandit leaders are just a little more powerful, and they don't think about anything else at all.

When he saw that there was a benefit, he rushed over with a swarm of people.

There is no plan and no layout.

And when they were caught and asked where their little brother was when they told them the news, they shook their heads in unison, and none of them knew.

The people planted by Zheng Pei and Sima Yi had already fled as soon as possible.

Sima Yi had already prepared.

If Zhao Hui chooses the bandit as a breakthrough, it will definitely be in vain. Nothing can be found.

But if Zhao Hui wants to find a breakthrough from a place other than the bandits, it will only be more difficult.

That's why Chen Hong chose to temporarily press the army and pretend that he didn't know anything.

As long as Zhao Hui can't find out, he is safe.

Chen Hong didn't think that the 5,000 elite soldiers in his hands could be defeated by Zhao Hui.

And it's hard to say whether these 5,000 elite soldiers will be under his control or not at that time.

Chen Hong only wants now, Zhao Hui can't find out the results of this matter.

The 5,000 soldiers led by Zou Dan will also be exterminated after all.

In Youzhou, Chen Hong really couldn't find anyone who could fight against Zhao Hui.

Even if Gongsun Chan returns, there is no hope.

Even Sima Yi, who has only been here for two years, doesn't think anyone can shake Zhao Hui's status in Youzhou.

After Zhao Hui's governance in the past few years, Youzhou has already been built as solid as an iron pass.

Even Gongsun Zhan has no confidence, he just wants to disturb Youzhou and make Zhao Hui not so happy.

His biggest goal now is just like Lu Bu did at the beginning.

As long as the strength of Youzhou can be reduced by fifty percent, Gongsun Chan will be very satisfied.

No matter who it is now, it is very difficult to deal with Zhao Hui and Youzhou.

In Youzhou, Zhao Hui has completely occupied the geographical advantage.

The people's aspirations, the military's aspirations.

His foundation is very strong.

In addition to the fact that the family is somewhat unstable, whether it is the army or the people, they already have a heart of worship for Zhao Hui.

In particular, the soldiers in the army were almost fanatical about Zhao Hui.

Originally, they were just big soldiers who were not taken seriously.

No one cares about their families, and no one cares about their future.

Their lives are also worthless, and no one cares when they die.

Many people have been soldiers before, and they have chosen it out of desperation.

Even though they know that it is dangerous to be a soldier, they can only become a soldier in order to survive.

And Zhao Hui changed all that.

Their lives are no longer insignificant.

Their families will also be taken care of.

Their future, someone is thinking about them.

They just need to do their job now, and they don't need to think about anything else.

There are such changes, all because of Zhao Hui.

And in the army, Zhao Hui's exploits have always been promoted.

The 100,000 elite soldiers in Youzhou, although not in wartime, are mostly scattered in various counties.

But the guards of their counties could not fully command them.

When Zhao Hui first took over Youzhou, there were almost 5,000 to 10,000 soldiers in the hands of the county guards.

Although there are still 5,000 now, these 5,000 are no longer something they can easily command.

The military power has been gradually separated by Zhao Hui.

If it weren't for Dian Wei's request for support this time, Fanyang County would not have been able to send a large army so easily.

Not to mention asking Zhao Hui, if his order is not normal, Du Wei can refuse to carry out Taishou's order.

Although the commander is still a subordinate of the Taishou, the Taishou can only ask the commander to cooperate, not an order.

In the past, where did the lieutenant dare to refuse the order of the Taishou.

Even those particularly strong captains, even if they have a strong family behind them.

They are also to obey the commands of the Taishou.

And in today's Youzhou, although the official position of the governor is still smaller than that of the Taishou, under normal circumstances, the Taishou can still give orders to the captain.

The only thing Zhao Hui added to the lieutenant was that they could judge whether Taishou's order was reasonable according to the actual situation, and if it was unreasonable, they could directly refuse without obeying the order.

These Taishou now want to rebel against Zhao Hui, and it is more difficult than before.

The power in their hands has been stripped away.

Zhao Hui will not give them a chance.

The executive power and the military power must be separated.

When Zhao Hui exterminated the three hundred bandits who hid in the mountains.

Dian Wei also waited for the 5,000 reinforcements sent by the Taishou of Fanyang County.

Then Dian Wei launched an attack on Gongsun Chan as soon as possible.

But when Gongsun Chan saw the arrival of 5,000 reinforcements, he was also ready immediately.

These days, he has been mobilizing the fighting spirit of his soldiers.

The road ahead is blocked by Dian Wei, and if they want to go home, they must defeat Dian Wei.

There is not much left in addition to grain and grass.

In terms of mobilizing the emotions of the soldiers, Gongsun Zhan is not as good as Cao Cao and Liu Bei, but he also has a good level.

After all, he was also a prince at the beginning, and he had an army of 100,000 in his hands.

The more than 10,000 Yuan troops, under the mobilization of Gongsun Zhan, did burst out with strong combat power.

Although it did not reach the decisive point of breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat, its combat power has also increased by as much as 30% compared with usual.

In this battle, Gongsun Chan and Dian Wei were already prepared.

Gongsun Chan knew that Dian Wei was waiting for reinforcements.

Dian Wei also knew that Gongsun Zhan was preparing to break the kettle.

At the beginning of the battle, it was very fierce.

Dian Wei led two thousand cavalry and rushed directly into Gongsun Zhan's army.

The other 5,000 soldiers, also armed with spears and spears, fought bravely to kill the enemy.

They are all veterans who have retired from the battlefield in Jizhou.

Everyone knows what they should do.

On Yuan Jun's side, his emotions were mobilized by Gongsun Zhan.

They want to go home.

They must rush over and tear apart the enemies that stand in their way.

However, it is not known when.

Gongsun Zhan's figure disappeared from the battlefield.

"Gongsun Chan is gone."

The news spread among Yuan's army.

They looked towards the position of the handsome flag.

The handsome flag is still fluttering, but Gongsun Zhan's figure is no longer visible.

"Those who surrender do not kill."

The soldiers and horses led by Dian Wei shouted loudly.

The fighting spirit of the Yuan army mobilized by Gongsun Chan quickly retreated like a tide after Gongsun Chan disappeared and the sound of those who surrendered did not kill sounded on the battlefield.

The rest of the Yuan army all laid down their weapons.

This battle started very fiercely and ended quickly.

Dian Wei asked people to clean up the battlefield, but they didn't find Gongsun Zhan.
