In the first year of Xingping, there were still several wars in the world, but fortunately, in the second half of the year, the princes of all parties began to restrain themselves, and the people of the world had a little time to rest.

When the second year of Xingping arrived, the situation in the south was relatively stable, and there was not much chaos, but the situation in the north began to become tense, as if a major war was about to occur. In today's north, Gongsun Zhan occupies Youzhou, Yuan Shu holds Jizhou, Lu Bu is in Bingzhou, Qingzhou is Liu Bei's territory, and Yanzhou has just been taken by Cao Cao. Among these major princes, the relationship between Yuan Shao of Jizhou and Gongsun Zan of Youzhou was the most tense.

Originally, Youzhou was jointly governed by Gongsun Chan and Liu Yu, Liu Yu was in charge of civil affairs, and Gongsun Chan was in charge of the armed forces. However, due to Yuan Shao's contact, Liu Yu dragged Gongsun Chan back, which made Gongsun Chan angry with Liu Yu, and finally killed Liu Yu under Liu Yu's step-by-step pressure, and took the power of Youzhou in his hands. Except for Liaodong, which opposed Gongsun Chan under the leadership of Gongsun Du, the rest of Youzhou obeyed Gongsun Chan's rule under the coercion of Gongsun Chan.

After killing Liu Yu, no one pulled his own retreat, Gongsun Zhan became more and more arrogant, although he suffered several defeats in the hands of Yuan Shao, but he still tried his best to attack Jizhou. And this time, in order to achieve his goal of attacking Jizhou, Gongsun Chan also contacted Liu Bei in Qingzhou, preparing for the two sides to work together to divide Jizhou equally.

Gongsun Zhan and Liu Bei once studied together under Lu Zhimen, and they had a relationship between brothers and sisters, and they had a good relationship with each other and were trustworthy.

In Youzhou Jicheng, Gongsun Zan stands on the city gate tower, and beside him are Yan Gang, Guan Jing, Shan Jing, Tian Kai, Zou Dan and other Youzhou civil and military forces.

Guan Jing stepped forward and said to Gongsun Zhan: "Lord, everything is ready, the army has been assembled and can be launched at any time." ”

Gongsun Zhan's eyes were slightly awe-inspiring, and he said: "Okay, this time I must let Yuan Shao know that I know how powerful my Gongsun Zhan is, although the first death soldier is strong, as long as Bai Ma Yicong does not run into it directly, it will be fine." ”

Guan Jing, Yan Gang and the others were all excited at this time. Before they invaded Jizhou, they were put on the side by Yuan Shao, not to mention that they gained nothing, but they also suffered heavy losses. After solving Liu Yu, Gongsun Zan and the civil and military forces under his command were already gearing up, ready to fight with Yuan Shao again.

Last time, Gongsun Chan was defeated by Koji Yi's first deceased soldiers, and Bai Ma Yi was almost completely wiped out. Now, Gongsun Chan has rebuilt the White Horse and wants to avenge the last time. Therefore, after the beginning of spring, Gongsun Zhan gathered 30,000 troops outside Jicheng in Youzhou, most of which were cavalry, to have a big battle with Yuan Shao.

In April of the second year of Xingping, Gongsun Zan of Youzhou led 30,000 troops south to enter the territory of Jizhou, seized the land between the rivers with an unstoppable momentum, and formed a horn with Guan Yu, who was guarding the Bohai Sea under Liu Bei, threatening Yuan Shao.

Gongsun Chan seized Hejian, such news naturally could not be concealed from Yuan Shao, and even when Gongsun Chan had not yet arrived at the boundary of Jizhou, Yuan Shao's advisers had a feeling. However, most of the troops under Gongsun Zhan's command were cavalry, and even if Xun Chen and others reacted, it was too late, causing Yuan Shao to not receive the news until Hejian was taken by Gongsun Zhan.

Yecheng, Jizhou.

In the Jizhou Prefecture Pastoral Mansion, Yuan Shao sat on the main seat with an angry face.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Gongsun Chan has taken Hejian, but we haven't received any news before, and now Guan Yu of Bohai has also moved, I want to hear what you think?"

As soon as Yuan Shao's voice fell, Xu You stood up and said with sincere fear: "Lord, it is the sin of his subordinates at this time, his subordinates did find some abnormalities in Youzhou before, but they failed to attract enough attention from their subordinates, so what happened now, and his subordinates are guilty, and they ask the lord to punish him." ”

Looking at Xu You, who was sincerely frightened in front of him, Yuan Shao sighed and said, "You get up first, your guilt will be discussed later, and now I want to hear your countermeasures." ”

Xun Chen looked at Xu Yu who had retreated into the crowd, and a hint of discoloration flashed on his face. This Yuan Shao was too indecisive, and at this time, he still cared about his personal relationship with Xu You. Originally, Xu Yu was in charge of intelligence work, and if there was such a big mistake, he should be severely punished to warn others, but Yuan Shao's handling made Xun Chen feel very sad.

Just when Xun Chen wanted to stand up and say something, he was grabbed by the person next to him and stopped Xun Chen.

Xun Chen looked over and found that it was the trial.

Just when Xun Chen was puzzled, on their side, another person stood up and said to Yuan Shao: "Lord, now that Gongsun Chan has taken Hejian, his subordinates think that they should order a general to quickly lead the troops north, not to mention defeating Gongsun Chan, but at least to limit Gongsun Chan's army to Hejian." Moreover, Qingzhou Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan have always been good friends, and Liu Bei's brother Guan Yu is now guarding the Bohai Sea, so he can't help but guard against it. ”

Yuan Shao's face was different when he heard this, and he said, "Then Yuan Hao, who do you think can take on this important responsibility?" ”

After listening to Yuan Shao's words, Tian Feng didn't feel that there was anything wrong, his eyes swept over the generals under Yuan Shao's command, and finally said: "General Liyi can take on this important task, Gongsun Zhan's battle is rampant in the world is the White Horse Yicong, and the first dead soldier under the command of General Liyi is just to restrain the White Horse Yicong, if General Liyi leads the troops to attack, he will definitely be able to fight with Gongsun Zhan." ”

Yuan Shao's gaze wandered on Tian Feng for a long time, and when he saw Tian Feng's expression of having a clear conscience and serving the public, he finally said: "Okay, Lu Yi, I will give you 10,000 troops, can you have the confidence to block Gongsun Zhan?" ”

As soon as Yuan Shao's voice fell, then Lu Yi stood up and said loudly: "Don't worry, the lord is just a grandson, and the last general is not in his eyes." ”

"Okay." I saw that Yuan Shao also said in a loud voice: "Zhongzhi, you go north with Koji Yi, and as a military advisor with the army, you must assist Koji Yi to defeat Gongsun Zhan." ”

After receiving Yuan Shao's order, Xin Ping did not object, walked out of the crowd, and calmly accepted the order.

After the two of them received the order, Yuan Shao's eyes once again wandered on the civil and military forces in front of him, and finally said: "Zhang He, Gao Lan, and Fu Zhi listen to the order, I will give you three 10,000 soldiers and horses, and the two of you will be the deputy, leading the troops eastward, and keeping an eye on Bohai for me, if Guan Yu has no action, forget it, if Guan Yu sends troops to help Gongsun Zhan, you will bring Bohai back for me." ”。

After Zhang He, Gao Lan, and Fu Zhi received the order, they stepped forward to receive the order.

With Yuan Shao's order, the battle between Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao also kicked off.
