In addition, let Zhao Yun and Hao Zhao lead 50,000 troops from Yecheng to Pengcheng, Xuzhou to meet Wei Yan's 20,000 horses. Don't let Zhang Yan lead an army of 10,000 to Taishan County to attack Taishan and Dongguan.

Jie led 20,000 troops directly from Luoyang to Pengchengguo (county). Coupled with Xu Huang of Guangling, there are 100,000 horses, and with the courage of our warriors, we will definitely be able to fight down to Xuzhou.

The crowd also thought it was okay.

Gongyan, you write down what I just thought, write them into military orders, and immediately send someone to Yecheng to hand them over to Fu Zhi. Zhang Jie said.

Promise!

Wen You, this time you don't go on the expedition, stay in Luoyang to manage the rear. I took the second dog away and asked him to take 5,000 men and horses to meet Zhang Yan. Boda is a strict person, but he is a bit honest, and you have to point fingers.

After I left, Luoyang would have thousands of soldiers and horses. You have to pay attention to the steps of them.,Although these Xianbei people are now sinicized well.,But you have to be just in case.。 If you find something wrong with them, you can take immediate action. If the troops are not enough, they can be immediately supported by the state of Gaoran.

We should also pay more attention to Li Dao in Guanzhong, Hangu Pass is now in our hands. I am not afraid of Li Dao's idea of coming to Luoyang. But it's better to be careful, no one can be sure that something will happen.

You also have to pay more attention to the court side, and don't make any more moths. As long as the Son of Heaven is not too excessive, you let him toss!

Promise!

The lord can rest assured, you understand.

Lord, take Zhongda with you on this expedition! Let him also gain some knowledge.

Zhang Jie glanced at Sima Yi and said, "Good." Chung Da is by my side!

Thank you.

As Zhang Jie's order was passed on, a few days later, Zhang Jie led Tian Feng, Sima Yi, Ju Yi, and other generals to lead 20,000 horses to Xuzhou. And this time, Zhang Jie also brought Mi Zhu and Mi Fang brothers. Zhang Jie planned to let Mi Zhu manage Xuzhou after taking Xuzhou.

In Yecheng, Zhao Yun and Hao Zhao also began to lead their troops south after receiving the order, and after taking 10,000 horses to the plain to meet Huang Zhi, they will attack Jinan County, Qingzhou. (Jinan, Shandong)

And Zhao Yun and Hao Zhao led 50,000 horses south through Yanzhou and other places to Pengcheng, Xuzhou.

Zhang Jie's army crossed the Tiger Prison Pass and headed east. After nearly half a month, we arrived at Pengcheng. Wei Yan, Jia Xu and other generals personally went to the outside of the city to greet Zhang Jie. Zhang Jie took a look, and saw that the old guy Chen Qi was also there.

Zhang Jiedao: How is Mr. Han Yu doing lately?

Thank you for your concern, and it's okay to be old.

Zhang Jie was very satisfied when he saw him calling the lord, he was an understanding person! If you don't take refuge in me now, who else can Zhang Jie take refuge in.

Thank you for coming out of the city to greet you, and please enter the city.

Return to Pengcheng Xiangguo Mansion. (Taishou same level)

Wenhe, how is Peng Cheng doing lately? How is Lu Bu doing in Xiapi?

The old man was fine, after the lord left, Yuan Shao and Lu Bu did not use troops against Pengcheng. At present, Lu Bu has forcibly recruited more than 10,000 soldiers in Xiapi. The surrounding counties are all catching strong men.

Yuan Shao was even more ruthless. I heard that Yuan Shao was catching strong men everywhere in Qingzhou, Donghai, Langya and other places. At present, there are nearly 200,000 troops.

Zhang Jie thought to himself, damn, Yuan Shao is going to work hard! I'm going to stud! Regardless of the lives of the people!

Zhang Jie said: It's okay, the more Yuan Shao catches Zhuangding, the more it means that he has no recruitment. Arresting 200,000 strong men in such a short period of time will lose the support of the people. How could a soldier who did not voluntarily come to serve as a soldier be willing to give up his life, and when he arrived on the battlefield, he might throw down his weapon and surrender without fighting.

Since ancient times, there has been a saying that soldiers are expensive and not too much. Yuan Shao: This is the old way of Yuan Shu. You see, these people will be our captives.

How are they doing?

Chen Qi said: Lao Yuan's private soldiers have about 500, and 300 of them have been caught by Lu Bu in the army. General Lu and others are still lurking in the city. It has not yet been discovered. It's just that the general hides at home all day.

Zhang Jie said: At present, Zilong and Bodao have not yet arrived, and as soon as they arrive, we will immediately surround Xiapi, and we must not let Lu Bu run away this time. Otherwise, there will be endless troubles.

Wenhe, how is Pengcheng's political affairs? What about land rent and taxes?

Jia Xu said: Alas! It didn't go well. Many landlords are reluctant to do so. The old man is worried that once he is as tough as Hebei, he is afraid that these people will rebel. That's why I just turned a blind eye. Didn't bother with him. The old man felt that it was better to defeat Yuan Shao and implement the new policy after Lu Bu. At that point, we will be free to implement the New Deal.

As long as the New Deal is in place. Not in three years. Xuzhou is also a land rich in money and food!

What Wen He said is reasonable, Xuzhou is already rich, the land is fertile, and it will be a land of abundant money and food in a few years! Zhang Jie said.

All right! Then let's send someone to find out the information while waiting for Zilong and them. It is also possible to give the brothers a few days off. Zhang Jie waited in Pengcheng for four days, and Zhao Yun and Hao Zhao's 50,000 horses arrived.

Zhang Jie saw Zhao Yun and Hao Zhao arrived, and held the hands of the two of them, this is his own henchman! Absolutely.

Zhang Jie said: I finally waited for you to come, if you don't come again, Jie Du plans to take the troops away first. To be honest, I'm afraid that Lu Bu will run away! This tiger has run away, and I don't know where to catch it next time.

Zhao Yundao: Let the lord wait for a long time, the last general should die.

It's okay, it's out of the way, it's not in the way.

Zilong, Bo Dao, Jie plans to send troops to Pi tomorrow, what do you two think?

The clouds listen to the lord. Zhao Yundao.

Hao Zhaodao: Along the way, the final step will be to let the brothers take turns riding horses. So the lord doesn't have to worry about the brothers being too tired, even if he doesn't rest, he can fight!

Good! Then let's go to Xiapi tomorrow.

The next day, Zhang Jie left 10,000 people to guard Pengcheng to ensure the safety of the grain route, and personally led an army of 80,000 to Xiapi. The army stretched for more than ten miles. Naturally, he couldn't hide Yuan Shao, Lu Bu's scout.

In fact, not long after Zhang Jie's army left Luoyang, Yuan Shao's scouts transmitted the information to Xuzhou.

And when Lu Bu learned that Zhang Jie personally led nearly 80,000 troops to Xiapi, he was also a little anxious, and hurriedly consulted with Chen Gong, Zhang Liao and others.

Gongtai, Zhang Jie has nearly 80,000 horses this time, how can we resist the enemy? Lu Budao.

The lord immediately sent someone to find Yuan Shao and asked him to garrison his troops outside the city, while the lord guarded the inside of Picheng, so that it became that kind of riding horn. If Zhang Jie attacks the city, he can flank the enemy army under the city before and after.

Good, Gongtai, you can send your brother Chen Ding to Tancheng! Tell Yuan Shao to let him send troops quickly, otherwise General Bu will withdraw his troops and return to Shouchun, and let him play alone with Zhang Jie.

Wenyuan, are you going to strengthen the defenses everywhere? Prepare more equipment to defend the city.

Promise!

Yuan Shao had long known that Zhang was an outstanding soldier in Xuzhou, and the first target must be Xiapi. Yuan Shaodao: Now that Zhang Jie has come to attack Xiapi again, I estimate that Lu Bu is not Zhang Jie's opponent, should we send troops immediately?

Guo Tudao: The scouts came to report that Zhang Jie had come to attack Xiapi, and there were only 70,000 or 80,000 horses. Lü Bu had more than 40,000 people in Xiapi. His generals have also been with him for many years. Xiapi City is high and deep, if he stays in the city, Zhang Jie may not be able to attack it. The lord doesn't have to worry, you can wait a few days for the eldest prince's men and horses to arrive in Tancheng and then go to Xiapi!
