In fact, Zhang Jie was a smoker in his later life, but there was no tobacco in the Han Dynasty. Tobacco was introduced to China from Central and South Asia in the mid-16th century. The Spanish colonizers invaded the Philippines, and tobacco was also cultivated in the Philippines. At this time, China's trade with the Philippines was actually a trade with the Spaniards. Soon, tobacco was introduced to Taiwan, Fujian and other places near it.

Zhang Jie never found tobacco leaves, and later found that there was a kind of leaf that was a little similar to tobacco leaves, Zhang Jie tried to roll it up and smoke a few puffs, and it felt good, but it was too old and a little choking. But for smokers, it's better to smoke leaves than not to smoke at all.

Brother, persuade him more! The body is stronger than anything else. Cai Yan said.

Promise! I'll persuade, then I'll go first.

The next day, Dian Wei set off with a hundred or so soldiers, and just walked more than ten miles, only to see one person chasing. Wait for me! Dian Wei looked back and saw that it was Wei Yan.

Wen Chang, I'm going to Xuzhou, what are you doing here? Dian Wei Dao.

Hehe, Brother Dian, I just came back from Hangu Pass and haven't rested, I heard that you went to Xuzhou. I followed. Wei Yan said.

I said Wen Chang, there is no order, you ran away without permission, and you don't care if your soldiers throw it down?

Hehe, Brother Dian, there's nothing wrong with Luoyang now. The Lord is attacking Qingzhou, and we don't have to worry about it, the brothers in Luoyang are in charge of Hao Zhao, and nothing can happen. Let me go with you! Wei Yan said.

Dian Weidao: Okay! Anyway, Luoyang is fine, and you can go to Qingzhou. But this has nothing to do with me, if the lord blames me, don't blame me?

Wei Yandao: I'm so anxious to catch up with Brother Dian, don't I just want Brother Dian to intercede for me in front of the lord! Your lord will definitely listen.

Good boy, it turned out to be my idea. Okay, I don't care about anything else, you can't die, okay?

Haha, I'm relieved to have Brother Dian's guarantee, you don't know! There is no fart in Hangu Pass. I've lost all my skills. It's still comfortable to go to Qingzhou to kill a few Yuan soldiers! This Wei Yan is now a real militant.

Tancheng and Tibetan tyrants also went to Nanyang, and most of the captives went home, and a small part stayed. There are still 40,000 people left. Fortunately, Xu Huang came from Guangling. But he only brought some personal soldiers, and left the rest to Chen Deng. The main thing is to guard against Jiangdong Sun Quan.

Zhang Jie led an army of 40,000 to Qingzhou, first passing through Langya, Xuzhou. Due to Yuan Shao's death, Yuan Tan transferred Langya's defenders to Qingzhou after fleeing. When Zhang Jie arrived in Langya, there were no soldiers in Kaiyang City in Langya County.

After a day of rest in Langya, Zhang Jie continued to set off to Qingzhou. The road passes through Dongguan, Zhuxian, Dongwu, and then to the northwest, through Qingzhou Beihaiguo, Chang'an, Yingling, Pingshou, and then to Beihai County Yeju County (now Shandong Changle Yaogou Town)

The Eastern Han Dynasty set up the Qingzhou administrative office in the Qi State (county) and Linzi (now Zibo, Shandong), but in fact, in the late Han Dynasty, the focus was on Beihai. Because the Yellow Turban Uprising in Qi was very troublesome. In addition, several subordinate counties in Beihai are along the coast and produce sea salt. In ancient times, salt was more expensive than gold. Therefore, Beihai is actually the richest county (country) in Qingzhou.

There are eighteen counties under Beihai, of which the county is in the drama county, and the most famous county is "Jimo". In the twenty-second year of King Zhou Xian (347 years ago), King Qi Wei crowned Jimo Doctor with ten thousand families. At that time, Jimo City was in the area of Dazhumao Village, Guxian Town, Pingdu City. During the Warring States Period, Jimo City was a rich and prosperous place comparable to Linzi, the capital of Qi State.

Zhang Jie's army entered the Qingzhou Beihai Sea without encountering any obstacles. When entering the county seat of Chang'an. Zhang Jie ordered the army to rest for a few days.

The edict gathered the people under the tent to discuss. Zhang Jie said: We have now entered the hinterland of Qingjin. It can be said that it is alone in the depths. But the Yuan brothers in Qingzhou still have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. At the moment, we have not been hindered all the way. I guess Yuan Tan should have mobilized heavy troops in Xixian or Linzi to defend it.

At present, I don't know what happened to them, they have been fighting for so long, why haven't they been beaten in Jinan (county). (Dongpingling, now northwest, Zaoyuan, Zhangqiu, Shandong)

Tian Fengdao: There are no generals around him, although there are 50,000 people, most of these people have not gone through any major battles, and their combat effectiveness is a little worse. Moreover, in the plains, Gaotang and other places, Yuan Shao has heavy troops, which may have delayed time.

It is also possible to divide the troops to Luoyang, some time ago the lord sent him to transfer 20,000 people to Luoyang. It is possible that after the division of troops, it will not be enough to take Jinan.

Zhang Jiedao: Yes! At that time, Jie saw that Ma Teng suddenly went to Luoyang, and he was a little anxious. In fact, this appointment is wrong. It would take a few days for the professor to receive the order. If you send troops to Luoyang again, it will take at least seven or eight days to take a boat all the way. Sailing against the current! It can't be too fast.

For such a long time, if Ma Teng could break Luoyang, he would have broken it long ago. can't be broken, whether he sends people to Luoyang or not. In fact, as long as Hao Zhao can get to Luoyang in time. With the strength of Luoyang City, they are not afraid of Ma Teng at all.

Forget it, Jie was a little anxious about this at the time. Forget it, let's leave this matter alone for the time being.

No matter where they go, let's take the North Sea. It would be better if Yuan Tan was in Drama County, but if he wasn't, it would be another trouble.

Tian Fengdao: It is better to send a small army as the vanguard and advance the army, so that the situation ahead can also be clarified. And when you encounter a river, you can also find a boat first.

Good! According to Yuan Hao's words.

Lead, you take 5,000 brothers to march first, and strive to take the county seat of "Pingshou". Waiting for us at "Heiju". You pass through Weishui (now Weihe), and Wenshui (Wenhe) collects boats first. And leave a soldier to guard, and wait for the large army to cross the river.

Promise!

This went to Pingshou, and asked to pass by the "camp tomb". Leave some of your brothers at the camp. In addition, it is necessary to raise grain and grass. Let's see if there is any grain in these county official warehouses. After a while, you go down and ask Gongyan to give you more money, and go to the city along the way to buy food. but they are not allowed to rob the people. Warn his subordinates that if they bully the people, they will act recklessly. There will be no mercy in military justice.

Promise!

The next day, we set off first. There has been no war in Beihai, and it is still relatively wealthy. It is the more essential part of Qingzhou.

After half a month and a half, Zhang Jie and his entourage finally arrived in Pingshou. That is, the southwest of Weifang, Shandong Province in later generations. It's very close to the drama county. The army rested for a few days in Pingshou.

In Drama County, Yuan Tan listened to Yuan Shao's words and transferred soldiers and horses from all over Qingzhou to Drama County, and now there are nearly 50,000 horses in Drama County, but most of them are new recruits and few generals.

When Yuan Tan learned that Zhang Jie's army had arrived in Pingshou, he was also anxious. Pingshou to the drama, it will be there in a day or two. Slow will not exceed three days.

Strategist, what now? Are we defending the city? Or go out of the city to fight. Zhang Jie only has more than 40,000 horses, we should still have a chance!

Guo Tudao: Now Zhang Jie is about to go to Drama County, and he has to fight if he doesn't fight. But most of our soldiers are new recruits, and if they fight in the field outside the city, the results will not be better than those in Tancheng. So let's defend the city!
