In May of the second year of Chuping, Sun Zhan, the Taishou Gonggong of Youbeiping, defeated Pan Feng, a general under the command of Jizhou Mu Han Fu, in Anping, Jizhou, and Pan Feng led an army of 30,000 into Anping, and finally retreated to Julu with only 3,000 soldiers and horses. At the same time that Gongsun Chan defeated Pan Feng, his subordinate Tian Kai also led his troops to capture Zhongshan, and for a time, among the counties of Jizhou, Hejian, Anping, and Zhongshan had fallen into the hands of Gongsun Zhan, and at this time Gongsun Chan was ready to attack, ready to attack the giant deer that Pan Feng retreated at any time.

Under the intimidation of Gongsun Zhan's soldiers, Jizhou Mu Han Fu was panicked, at this time, the Bohai Taishou Yuan Shao's subordinate advisor Xun Chen, nephew Gao Gan, together with the current Han Fu under Yuan Shao's command, Xin Ping, Xin Bi brothers into the Jizhou Prefecture Pastoral Mansion under Yuan Shao's command, finally Xun Chen persuaded Han Fu with excellent eloquence, so that Han Fu decided to ask Bohai Taishou Yuan Shao to enter Jizhou to reject Gongsun Zhan.

Of course, this is because Han Fu didn't know that the reason why Gongsun Chan invaded Jizhou was because of Yuan Shao's credit, and if there was no agreement between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Chan, Gongsun Chan would not necessarily choose Jizhou as his target at this time.

However, although Han Fu did not know that Gongsun Zhan's invasion of Jizhou was related to Yuan Shao, his subordinates Geng Wu, Don't Drive Guan Chun, Li Li Li in Zhizhong and Cai Du Wei Fu Zhu all felt that it was not a wise move to invite Yuan Shao to Jizhou, but Han Fu was already frightened by Gongsun Zhan, and did not notice Yuan Shao's wolf ambition at all, and insisted on inviting Yuan Shao to enter Jizhou despite the persuasion of Geng Wu, Guan Chun, Li Li, Fu Zhu and others.

Under Han Fu's insistence, Fu Zhi and Li Li had no choice but to give up hope, but Geng Wu and Guan Chun still had resentments in their hearts, thinking that this was Yuan Shao's conspiracy, although Han Fu had already decided, but they would not let Yuan Shao get Jizhou so easily, and it was best to drive Yuan Shao out.

And when Xun Chen successfully persuaded Han Fu to welcome Yuan Shao into Jizhou, Liu Bei, the Taishou of the Plains, also received the news of Gongsun Zan and was ready to send troops from the Plains, pointing directly to the Bohai Sea, and containing Yuan Shao for Gongsun Zan .

Because the relationship between Gongsun Chan and Liu Bei is very good, and Gongsun Chan also left Liu Bei a lot of materials and war horses in the transaction with Yuan Shu, so that Liu Bei is even more grateful to his classmate, and he also agreed to Gongsun Zhan's request, and this time it is not all beneficial to send troops to contain Yuan Shao Liu Bei, Gongsun Chan has promised Liu Bei that as long as he sends troops to contain Yuan Shao this time, no matter whether Gongsun Chan takes Jizhou or not, Gongsun Chan will give Liu Bei a batch of war horses.

After discussing with the civil and military forces under his command, Liu Bei decided to personally lead the troops, bring Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, two generals, and lead 5,000 troops to the Bohai Sea to contain Yuan Shao. As for the principle of peace, there are Tai Shici, Jian Yong, and Sun Qian.

Yuan Yao, who followed Ji Ling to the plains, originally wanted to stay in the plains, and then wait for an opportunity to enter Jizhou and get involved in the competition between Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao in Jizhou. But it's a pity that knowing that Ji Ling and Shan Jing completed the transaction, Yuan Yao didn't find a suitable excuse to stay.

In the end, when Yuan Yao and Ji Ling had a showdown, there was no doubt that Ji Ling rejected him.

Not to mention that Jizhou is now Gongsun Zhan's battlefield, although Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shu are now allied, but the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and it is difficult to guarantee that Gongsun Chan will not have any other ideas, so Ji Ling will never let Yuan Yao go to Jizhou.

More importantly, in Yuan Yao's words, Ji Ling can foresee that the next Jizhou will definitely be the battlefield of Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan, and according to Ji Ling's observation of Liu Bei, it is estimated that in this battle, Liu Bei will also have to get involved, and at that time, Jizhou will be Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Shao, Liu Bei, and Han Fu, which is not a good place.

Today's Yuan Yao is already more and more watched by Yuan Shu as he gradually reveals his ingenuity, this time; If it weren't for Ji Ling personally leading the team when he came to the plain, Yuan Shu would not have let Yuan Yao come. If Ji Ling left Yuan Yao in the plain this time, then when Ji Ling returned to Runan, he would face Yuan Shu's wrath and punishment.

Even if he doesn't care about Yuan Shu, let's just say that Ji Ling himself doesn't want Yuan Yao to stay in the plain, after all, the plain is Liu Bei's territory, not Yuan Shu's territory, Yuan Yao is the only heir of Yuan Shu's forces, although Yuan Yao's age is not very old now, but all the civil and military forces under Yuan Shu's command are very satisfied with Yuan Yao, if Yuan Yao is left alone in the plain, even if he has Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao by his side, the danger factor is too great.

Therefore, in the end, Ji Ling still brought Yuan Yao back and did not let him stay in the plain. And because last time Yuan Yao, Wei Yan, and Yu Shi sneaked away from Nanyang to Runan, in order to prevent such a thing from happening again, after Yuan Yao said his thoughts, Ji Ling looked at Yuan Yao almost every step of the way, not allowing Yuan Yao to have any chance to sneak away.

Under Ji Ling's strict supervision, even if Yuan Yao had the intention to sneak away, there was no way, and in the end, Yuan Yao could only obediently follow Ji Ling back to Yuzhou. However, in the end, in order to prevent Yuan Shao from taking Jizhou smoothly, Yuan Yao also said some words beside Liu Bei, in order to hope that Liu Bei could help Gongsun Zan and prevent Yuan Shao from entering Jizhou.

Of course, Yuan Yao also didn't want Gongsun Chan to take Jizhou, once Gongsun Chan captured Jizhou, with his prestige in Youzhou, he could take Youzhou, and then Gongsun Chan would become a strong enemy of Yuan Shu in the north.

Only the north, which is chaotic and no one can become the overlord, is in the best interest of Yuan Shu.

Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Shao, Liu Bei, no matter who it is, it is possible to become the overlord of the north, at that time it is very unfavorable for the development of Yuan Shu, Yuan Yao hopes that the three major forces of Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Shao, and Liu Bei are fighting endlessly in the north, and no one can help anyone, so that Yuan Shu will have enough time to accumulate strength, and when the time comes, he will send troops to the north to wipe out these three forces.

However, this is just Yuan Yao's expectation, no one knows whether things will really go according to Yuan Yao's expectations, and Yuan Yao can only find a way to push things on the path he envisioned, but no one knows whether things will really develop as Yuan Yao expected, including Yuan Yao himself.

But there are some things that you don't do if you don't know, and it is precisely because you don't know how things will develop that Yuan Yao does his best to do it. But whether this will work out in the end is unknown.

Yuan Yao has already done what he can, and the rest is up to heaven's will.

As the saying goes, do your best and obey the destiny of heaven.
