Just when everyone thought that Yuan Shao's Northern Expedition was nine out of ten and Gongsun Zan was about to become history, a shocking news spread all over the world.

Gongsun Zhan attacked with water, directly submerged the area near Beiping City, and then went down the river by boat, directly defeating Yuan Shao's more than 100,000 troops. In the end, Zhang He and others fled with more than 10,000 remnants of the defeated generals, and the other Zhao soldiers were either buried in the flood or were destroyed and captured by Gongsun Zhan's army. However, on the other hand, the thousands of Yan troops who resisted in Beiping City were basically all buried here.

In this battle, Gongsun Chan won. But on the other hand, in the face of such a cold-blooded Gongsun Zhan, the soldiers of Dayan gradually began to deviate from morality. No one can be loyal to such a monarch who regards the lives of his subordinates as a mustard, especially Gongsun Zhan, who has always flaunted his righteousness, and his heroic image was directly destroyed, which collapsed the faith that countless people originally worshipped.

Everyone in the world was shocked by Gongsun Zhan's transformation, and Yuan Shu and other princes were full of disdain for Gongsun Chan after learning about this.

"Dig your own grave!" After learning the news, Yuan Shu snorted angrily and said: "Gongsun Zhan really can't afford to lose, and I originally planned to support him so that he can hold on for a while longer." Now it seems that it is really stupid to destroy the Great Wall! ”

"Your Majesty, Gongsun Chan has acted like this, it can be seen that he is now panicking. Without the pride and confidence he once had, even the righteousness that he had always adhered to was completely abandoned, and the whole person became so cold-blooded. It has no value to back it up. Jia Xu said lightly.

"It is indeed extremely stupid to abandon the righteousness that you rely on the most, and to make your subordinates deviate from morality, just for the victory of this moment, with only more than 100,000 Zhao troops." Tian Feng couldn't help but say.

"Yuan Hao, the weapons that were originally going to be traded with Gongsun Chan can be recovered, and there should be no more transactions with Gongsun Chan in the future. Now it is meaningless to support Gongsun Zhan, maybe it can be regarded as making a wedding dress for Yuan Shao. Yuan Shu sighed lightly. Afraid of something, originally he sent so much money, food and ordnance just to stabilize Gongsun Zhan, but Gongsun Chan still took the worst road.

"Your Majesty, why don't we directly tear up the alliance with Gongsun Zhan. Now directly attacking Youzhou, maybe you can recruit some fierce generals under Gongsun Zhan, so as not to be obtained by Yuan Shao in the future. Guo Jia suggested with a smile.

"Bonghyo, you're talking nonsense again. Gongsun Chan is unethical, but it is not the turn of allies like us to crusade. What's more, Bai Mayi has only just started training now, and these people are still loyal to Gongsun Zhan, if we attack Youzhou, the upcoming Army Soul Legion will be gone. Xun You interrupted unceremoniously.

"Just kidding. However, we should indeed arrange the generals under the command of Gongsun Zhan. Gongsun Zhan is now a dead man, and if he doesn't do it, these people may be taken away by Yuan Shao in the future. Guo Jiadao.

"What Feng Xiao said is reasonable, it should indeed be arranged, since this matter was raised by you, then it is up to you to arrange it." Yuan Shu nodded.

"No!"

......

Jizhou, after learning that the more than 100,000 troops of his Northern Expedition were almost wiped out, Yuan Shao recruited Xun Chen and Xu You with a complicated face.

"The Northern Expedition army was defeated in Beiping, you know about it!" Yuan Shao said inexplicably.

As soon as the words fell, Xu You stood up and said with a smile: "The ministers naturally already know, congratulations to Your Majesty in advance." ”

"What's the joy of?" Yuan Shao said knowingly.

"Our army was defeated on the surface of this battle, but in fact, it made Gongsun Chan lose the trust of his subordinates, so Youzhou can be broken with a snap of his fingers. Moreover, the soldiers lost in this battle are not His Majesty's, but the family's, which has long been expected by us. Shouldn't Your Majesty be happy to kill two birds with one stone in this way? Xu Yu said proudly.

This time, the Northern Expedition led by Zhang He was not Yuan Shao's elite, but a force that was mostly organized and trained by the family's miscellaneous soldiers, and belonged to the strength of the Jizhou family.

The sweetness of the state made these families more and more greedy, and after Yuan Shao defeated Gongsun Zan in the Battle of Jieqiao and established the victory, their eyes were set on the grasslands of northern Xinjiang.

The family is one, and the connection between them should not be too close, and they naturally know what the Great Chu family knows. The potential commercial value of the northern grasslands was immediately targeted by these families when they knew about it. took the initiative to let the generals in the family who served under Yuan Shao apply for the Northern Expedition, and launched a large number of private soldiers in the family to Yuan Shao as the main force of the Northern Expeditionary Army.

With such an extra Northern Expedition army out of thin air, Yuan Shao was overjoyed and greatly fearful of the family. In his heart, it was best for the more than 100,000 Northern Expeditionary troops to disappear after victory, so as not to be infiltrated by the family in the future army.

And the current situation is exactly what Yuan Shao wanted. More than 100,000 Northern Expeditionary troops were all wiped out, and Gongsun Chan also destroyed the city wall, and Youzhou was already within reach, which was not too perfect.

At this time, although Yuan Shaoming was extremely angry on his face, he was already happy in his heart. If Gongsun Chan was in front of him, he couldn't wait to go up and give Gongsun Chan a big hug.

It's so intimate and righteous!

It is worthy of being my lifelong opponent, he knows me so well, and he helped me before he died.

The "meaningless" annihilation of the "meaningless" army of more than 100,000 troops directly wiped out most of the combat power of the family, and the subsequent Northern Expedition had nothing to do with the family.

Xun Chen kept silent, he knew what Yuan Shao was thinking at this time, but his consistent cautious self-preservation practice made him never express his opinions without authorization.

Yuan Shao listened to Xu You's words, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl slightly. Xu You's words just hit his heart, and he was indeed very happy at this time, but his mouth was saying: "What nonsense, I am deeply angry about the loss of more than 100,000 Northern Expeditionary troops. Gongsun Bogui actually did such a thing that angered people and lost his conscience, and he was not a son of man. Ziyuan, you immediately ordered Chen Lin to write a letter to condemn him, and announce it to the world, especially Youzhou. ”

"Commandment." Xu Yu said respectfully.

"In addition, the Northern Expedition must not be delayed. Although this defeat was the cause of Gongsun Zhan's cold-bloodedness, there was also Zhang He's neglect of the country, which made him think about it behind closed doors for three months. Chun Yuqiong was appointed as the leader of the Northern Expedition, reorganized 100,000 soldiers and horses, and marched north after a month. Yuan Shao said without hesitation.

There is always someone to blame for this failure, and Yuan Shao must also show enough anger. After all, he is still very harmonious with the family now, and the current situation does not allow him to turn against the Jizhou family.
