Zhen Yan not only brought a lot of money and food, but also had 5,000 people, including 2,000 Wuhuan cavalry, full of sincerity.

Yuan Shao set up a banquet to receive the wind for Zhen Yan and summoned Chinese martial arts to accompany him. Tian Feng and Fu Zhi are naturally listed. They lived in the camp of the Chinese army, only a hundred steps away from Yuan Shao's big tent, Zhen Yan and others passed by the door of their tent when they entered the camp, but they didn't realize this incident, let alone the impact of this incident.

At the first glance of Zhen Yan, Tian Feng had an illusion, why is this young man so similar to Yuan Shao? Not only does it look like it, but it smells more like it. If you don't take a closer look, there are still some obvious differences in the appearance of the two, and Tian Feng almost thinks that this is Yuan Shao's illegitimate son.

Guo Tu was very enthusiastic and took the initiative to introduce Zhen Yan to Tian Feng and Fu Zhu. Tian Feng is a Julu person, and he is no stranger to the Zhen family of Zhongshan Wuji, and when he heard it, he realized that something was wrong, and immediately gave him a look. Fu Zhu was not very familiar with the Zhen family, but he was surprised by Guo Tu's performance. As a representative of the Ruying people, Guo Tu has always regarded himself very highly, and it is really abnormal to give Zhen Yan face like this. Seeing Tian Feng glaring at him, he raised his vigilance, but he still didn't know what to do.

Zhen Yan was very polite, as soon as Guo Tu's voice fell, he saluted Tian Feng and bowed to the end. "I have heard the name of Mr. Yuanhao for a long time, and I can see it today, and I am fortunate to have three lives. The lord can have a gentleman to complement him, so why worry about big things. He saluted and praised him a few times, which made him a little embarrassed and even embarrassed.

After they finished the ceremony, Yuan Shao immediately announced that Zhen Yan would be promoted as filial piety, and he would be the general of the chariot and cavalry, and announced that he would marry Zhen Mi, Zhen Yan's sister, for Yuan Xi.

Tian Feng and Fu Zhu were caught off guard and taken aback.

Guo Tu saw it clearly, and his heart was extremely refreshed, as if he had drunk a cup of ice drink on a dog day. Tian Feng and Fu Zhu saw it in their eyes, anxious in their hearts, but they had nothing to do, and they were helpless.

Jizhou is vast, more than 600 miles from north to south, roughly to the mainland Ze and Zhangshui as the watershed, divided into two parts of southern Hebei and northern Hebei, southern Hebei is close to the Central Plains, is the hometown of Zhao State, developed culture, more famous families, northern Hebei is mostly in the late Warring States period was conquered by the Warring States period of the barbarian country, and because of the proximity to the Yan Dynasty, the habit of dyeing the wind, the folk customs are fierce, the strong and strong, there is economic strength, but the family is less, the cultural literacy is insufficient, most of the eunuchs are county-level, less than 2,000 stones, and the right to speak is far inferior to the south of Hebei.

The judge is from Wei County, Tian Feng and Fu Zhu are Julu people, they are all families and celebrities in the south of Jizhou, and most of the people who support Yuan Shao are concentrated in southern Hebei, and Changshan, Zhongshan, Hejian and even including Bohai in northern Hebei are inclined to Gongsun Zhan before. After the Battle of Jieqiao, Gongsun Chan was defeated and the battle line shrank. Seeing the wind and the rudder, these families and heroes gradually broke away from Gongsun Zhan, but they were still on the sidelines, and there were not many people who took the initiative to rely on Yuan Shao. Even if there is, it is not unreserved support, but just let a certain branch of the family bring some people to vote for Yuan Shao. Because of the limited strength, it can't compete with the judges and others.

Now the situation has changed abruptly, under Guo Tu's threading needle, the small and medium-sized families of the northern Hebei counties have gathered, and they have also formed an alliance with the Ruying system, and the situation has suddenly become complicated.

Facing Guo Tu's pride, Tian Feng and Fu Zhu exchanged a look and smiled bitterly. After waiting for so long, and finally waiting for the Ruying system to fall apart, I thought that the people of Jizhou could take the initiative from now on, but I didn't expect Guo Tu to make such a move, find allies within the people of Jizhou, and crush the hope of the trial.

Needless to say, this was their mistake, and they didn't expect Guo Tu to make such a strange move. Ruying people have always been above the top, and they can't even look down on the families in southern Hebei, who would have thought that they would take the initiative to join forces with the heroes in northern Hebei.

Tian Feng was still feeling sorry for himself, but he reacted first, and immediately took the opportunity of the toast to congratulate Yuan Shao, and took the initiative to recommend Xun Yan to train these recruits. After getting Yuan Shao's approval, he said to Yuan Shao that Gongsun Zan was perverse, and the people's hearts were lost, Yuan Shaoxing's righteous teacher, avenged Liu Yu, and Youzhou Shishu will eat pot pulp and look at the wind. He suggested adopting the strategy of defending the south and attacking the north, and asked Huang Wan and Yuan Xi to hold their respective defense areas, not to act rashly, to concentrate manpower and material resources to attack Gongsun Zhan, and to avoid fighting on two fronts. In order to isolate Gongsun Zhan, he also suggested that Yuan Shao contact Liu Bei and strive for Liu Bei to flank Gongsun Zhan, at least to keep Liu Bei neutral. And sent an envoy to Beihai, courtesy the great Confucian Zheng Xuan, and asked him to come forward to persuade Tian Kai to surrender.

Yuan Shao gladly accepted.

Tian Feng breathed a sigh of relief. Although the situation has changed, Yuan Shao was not carried away and fought on both sides, and the result was not bad. The differences between southern Hebei and northern Hebei have been going on for a long time, and it is difficult to resolve them in a short period of time.

In order to avoid the trial from going crazy after hearing the news and making an irrational decision, Tian Feng hurriedly wrote a book to review and ask him to be calm, focus on the overall situation, and not be impulsive.

Starting with Zhen Yan, Zhao State, Changshan, Zhongshan, and Hejian countries have successively come to join the army, although the strength alone is not very strong, but it can't stand the crowd, in just half a month, Yuan Shao has more than 30,000 steps. Yuan Shao announced that he would integrate these additional soldiers and horses into more than 20 battalions, and appoint Xun Yan as the commander of the supervising military academy, responsible for the training and command of these recruits.

Gongsun Chan wiped the long knife over and over again, his eyes were cold for a while, and fanatical for a while.

Gongsun Xu stood across from him, bowing his head and not saying a word. Changshi Guan Jing sat aside, looking at Gongsun Zhan with blank eyes, waiting for his reply.

After killing Liu Yu, Gongsun Chan led the Youzhou herd, appointed officials, for a time the scenery was unlimited, but the good times did not last long, with the approach of Yuan Shao's army, the counties and counties of the powerful and powerful have risen, killing the officials appointed by Gongsun Zhan, just a few days, Gongsun Chan can control the territory is only Zhuo County, Shanggu, Yuyang is controlled by Liu Bei, has not expressed his attitude.

According to Gongsun Zhan's previous temper, he should deal with it brazenly at this moment and kill all opponents. This time, however, he didn't. Some people say that he knows that he is wrong, some people say that he is afraid of Yuan Shao, and there are different opinions, but Gongsun Chan himself has no reply, which seems to be a tacit acquiescence to these speculations.

The bad news came one after another, and Liu Yu's head sent to Chang'an was robbed, but Chang'an sent a new Youzhou Thorn History, and it was the famous Crouching Tiger Zhang Ze, who did not recognize Gongsun Zhan's meaning very clearly. Gongsun Chan must make a decision as soon as possible, whether to accept Zhang Ze and recognize the decision of the imperial court, or drive Zhang Ze away and completely turn his face with the imperial court. Waiting for Zhang to enter the country, and uniting with Xian Yufu and others, Gongsun Chan was passive.

Faced with this dilemma, Guan Jing suggested: send Gongsun Xu to Pingyu, just like Ma Teng and Han Sui, form an alliance with Sun Ce, and use Sun Ce's momentum to negotiate with the imperial court, in exchange for the imperial court's recognition of him. Ask Sun Ce to send troops to Yanzhou to contain Yuan Shao's forces. Unite with Liu Bei to resist Yuan Shao.

Gongsun Zhan neither said it was good nor bad, but just wiped the knife given to him by Sun Ce over and over again, and wiped the knife spotlessly, the light can be seen, and the four words of white horse invincible are even more delicate and dazzling.
