I was frightened all night.

At dawn.

Yuan Shang ordered the whole army to withdraw to Huguan.

Huguan is the gateway to the party and the gateway to the state. It can resist the Cao army from Hanoi County, and it is also an important pass connecting Jizhou and Sili.

The terrain is steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Yuan Shang was going to Huguan, and the journey was not far.

It only takes one day to arrive.

It's just that in his ranks, there are many weapons, armor, money and food, and even bulky equipment, and he moves slowly and is weak in labor. Coupled with the lack of cavalry, his 20,000 troops were in danger all the time.

Sixty miles to the west.

When passing through a dense forest, he was ambushed by Yu Ban.

Yu Ban led 5,000 foot soldiers to roll down the slope of the stones and broken trees that had been prepared long ago, blocking the official road, and then firing ten thousand arrows at once. Its momentum was like Mount Tai hitting the top, causing heavy losses to the state army.

Yuan Shang fought back, but was eventually defeated, leaving all his baggage behind and fleeing to Huguan.

After crossing the woods, he was raided by the anxious rebels.

After a fierce battle...

He could only lead more than a thousand remnants of the army to break through dangerously.

"Hahaha..." Yu Ban and Jiao Touch returned to the camp and reported to Yuan Xi: "This battle is beautiful." We defeated Yuan Shang twice and defeated Yuan Shang's 20,000 elite state army. If it weren't for the plan of the golden cicada to get out of the shell, we would definitely be able to catch Yuan Shang. ”

"Golden cicadas coming out of their shells?" Yuan Xi asked, "What golden cicada is coming out of its shell?" ”

Yu Ban replied: "Yu Gongzi, the trial made people pretend to be Yuan Shang to break through and attract us to chase after him." When we came back, we found out that Yuan Shanghe had already left. ”

"The last general is not doing well, please forgive the son..."

Jiao Touch also realized that he had been negligent, and restrained his smile.

"It doesn't matter. Although you didn't catch Yuan Shanghe and the trial, you robbed back the weapons, battle armor, money and food, and you made a great contribution. When the situation stabilizes, I will award them one by one. Yuan Xi said.

"Gongzi Xie..."

Yu Ban and Jiao touched the joy on their faces.

........................

The first month of the sixth year of Jian'an.

Yuan Tan's Qingzhou army was attacked by Yan Liang and suffered heavy losses. In order to escape back to Qingzhou, he had to give up those burdens and travel lightly. Yan Liang couldn't bear to kill Yuan Shao's son, so he didn't kill him, and let Yuan Tan leave.

Yuan Xi led the army back to Yecheng.

The families and officials of Yecheng came out to greet them.

Now Jizhou, there are no longer any hostile forces, and Yuan Xi is the legitimate heir; In other words, he is now the lord of Hebei, and even Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang should be subject to his control.

As Yuan Xi's subordinates, how dare the families who live by relying on Yuan's snort dare to be a little disrespectful?

"Childe, please..."

Fu Zhu led a group of civil and military officers and followed Yuan Xi to the outside of the Assassin's Mansion.

Revisit.

Yuan Xi had some emotion in his heart.

I remember that when I first traveled to the end of the Han Dynasty, I lived in the Thorn Mansion. The situation at that time was very different from now, and the officials only valued Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang, and completely ignored him.

Now that Yuan Shao is dead, Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang have been repulsed, and the attitude of the hundred officials has taken a 180-degree turn.

He can finally inherit the throne justifiably and live in Jizhou Mansion....

The mood is exceptionally cheerful.

"Mr. Fu, is the Liu family still in the mansion?" Yuan Xi suddenly remembered a potential enemy. If it weren't for a poem he wrote that moved Yuan Shao, maybe Zhen Mi would have been taken hostage by Liu.

"Nope. It should have been withdrawn with the eldest prince and the third prince. ”

"Hmm."

Yuan Xi didn't ask again.

Entering the living room of the Assassin's Mansion, he motioned for the accompanying officials to take their seats.

Yuan Xi said: "Xi lived up to expectations, repelled Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang, and finally pacified Jizhou." However, it is easy to fight the country, but it is difficult to defend the country. In the future, I will rely on all gentlemen and generals to help you more. Let's work together to protect the land and the people. ”

"I am willing to go to the soup for the lord, and I will not give up!" Zhong Wenwu replied.

"Okay...."

Yuan Xi was sitting precariously, his eyes rolling, scanning everyone in the living room. The text is headed by Fu Zhu, Guo Tu, and Tian Feng, and Wu is headed by Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang Jaw, and Gao Lan, and there are many talents.

Such a lineup is countless times stronger than Youzhou.

Yan Liang, Wen Chou and other generals overshadowed the generals of Youzhou such as Jiao Touch and He Mao.

"Scorch." Yuan Xi saw the anxiety of the last seat.

He seemed a little depressed.

Jiao Touch was quite surprised when he heard Yuan Xi call him, and quickly stood up and responded: "Gong.... Lord. At the end, he will meet the lord. ”

"You are my general, who has made many military exploits and has a great reputation. How did you get to the last seat? ”

"The last general..."

Jiao Touch's heart was very aggrieved.

He was a general when he was in Youzhou, but not necessarily when he arrived in Jizhou. Which one of you is not better than him?

Yuan Xi motioned for him not to speak yet, and said to the rest of the civil and martial arts: "Jiao Touch has been fighting with me for more than a year. From the elimination of Gongsun Du to the battle of Guandu, some time ago, he defeated 70,000 Xianbei iron horsemen and made countless achievements. Especially in the battle to defeat Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang, although he was seriously wounded, he was still willing to fight to the death, which made me very moved and admired. I've always had a clear reward and punishment, and I've decided... ”

"Promoted Jiao Touch to be the governor of Youzhou, and He Mao to be the deputy governor of Youzhou, jointly in charge of the military and political affairs of Youzhou."

"Uh..."

Hearing Yuan Xi's words, Jiao Fu's mouth opened wide in surprise.

The generals present also looked envious and jealous.

But more than that, I don't understand!

In terms of martial arts, qualifications, and the ability to lead soldiers, any of them are stronger than Jiao Touch. Why let Jiao Touch be in charge of the military and politics of Youzhou, instead of them? Does Focal Touch have that ability?

"What? You don't want to? Yuan Xi asked with a smile.

"Willing, willing... The last will be willing. The last general will work hard to live up to the expectations of the lord. Jiao Touch reacted and quickly knelt down and bowed.

"Get up."

"Thank you, Lord." Jiao Touch stood up.

Frustrated, he hurriedly said, "My lord." Regarding the position of governor of Youzhou, you have to think about it in the long run. ”

"What else is there to discuss? Can't I call the shots? Yuan Xi had a resolute look on his face: "In the next period of time, I will formulate a new reward system." No matter how big your ability is, how old your qualifications are, and how deep your background is, you must be promoted by military merit. The military merits accumulated by General Jiao Touch were enough for him to serve as the governor of Youzhou. I announced his position in advance, why not? ”

Yuan Xi waved his hand, which can be regarded as rejecting the admonition of frustration.

"No." Frustrated retreated.

Jiao was touched by the mess, and thought to himself: "You must work hard, and you can't let down the lord." ”

"Mr. Fu, don't you understand what the lord means?" Tian Feng tugged on his sleeve and muttered in a low voice.

"I don't understand why he wants to reward Jiao Touch, motivate the civil and military forces of Jizhou, and be more loyal to his duties. But Jiao Touch's ability is limited, and I am afraid that I will not be able to take charge of the military and politics of Youzhou, how can I not persuade him? Frustrated.
