I have to say that Yan Shao does have a little bit of darkness under the lights. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Obviously, there are a bunch of talents that can be used under his nose, but he has been suffering from the lack of talents in his hands. That's right, Zheng Xuan's old man is unlikely to invite him out, unless he uses a knife to force Zheng Xuan to help like Yuan Shao―――――― Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's army will fight in Guandu. In order to gain momentum and win the hearts and minds of the people, Yuan Shao asked Yuan Tan to force Zheng Xuan to follow the army, but Zheng Xuan had no choice but to go with his illness. When he walked to Yuancheng, his illness worsened and he could no longer walk, and he died in the county in June of the same year.

Yan Shao was different from Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao was the fourth and third duke, and he was the most powerful prince at that time, with countless soldiers and horses under his command, and he could ignore the condemnation of others. It doesn't matter if you force Zheng Xuan to come out to help, but Yan Shao is different, now he is just a small Beihai Taishou, if he uses a knife to force Zheng Xuan to come out to help, he is afraid that he will be drowned by the spittle of the world's scholars.

Not to mention Zheng Xuan's reputation, if he really does this, I am afraid that even the civil and military forces in the governance and the people will be separated from morality. In fact, it's not just Yan Shao, even if Yuan Shao does it now, it will be the same end. Yuan Shao was in Hebei at the time of Guandu, and he was the strongest prince in the world, and now he is just a Bohai Taishou, and he still needs to rely on Han Fu's snort, for fear that the other party will cut off his grain and grass, the two are incomparable.

However, Zheng Xuan can't invite him out of the mountain, which doesn't mean that the disciples he teaches can't be invited either.

As a contemporary Confucian, the number of disciples under Zheng Xuan has always remained at the level of about 1,000. If you count the ones that come and go, the overall number can be called terrifying. It is not for nothing that Zheng Xuan is called the most famous Confucian of the Han Dynasty, at least there are really many of his disciples.

It would be really strange to say that none of them could be used, and only a few of them needed to be invited to solve the problem of lack of talent under Yan Shao's subordinates.

To be honest, Yan Shao really doesn't look down on everyone in this kind of scripture, even if the scripture is powerful, can it still be compared to thousands of troops?

"Gongren's words really made me pause!" Yan Shao was overjoyed, and grabbed Dong Zhao's hand and shook it violently.

"How dare you..."Dong Zhao also smiled slightly.

To be honest, he was still very satisfied with Yan Shao. Not only is the strength very good, but there are also many fierce generals who can fight well, and this alone is much stronger than most of today's princes. However, the most important thing is Yan Shao's character, humble acceptance, broken corporal, coupled with humorous and generous character, which are in stark contrast to Yuan Shao.

Naturally, there are many shortcomings, at least Dong Zhao has discovered a lot recently, but in his opinion, these are all details, how can he not know that there are no perfect people in this world?

"However, the most important thing for the lord at present is to crusade against Cai Qi, as long as the problem of Cai Qi is solved, the lord will be equivalent to controlling the two counties of Beihai and Donglai, and it can also play a role in killing chickens and monkeys for other counties, and then maybe they can solve all the problems at hand without blood..."

It's just that their vision is on the high side, and they prefer to look for those who can achieve a career, the so-called good birds choose trees and perch, and virtuous ministers choose masters and masters, which is especially obvious in them.

At present, Yan Shao's reputation is already very big, but his status is still only a Beihai Taishou, and in the eyes of some celebrities, it is still poor. In addition, Zheng Xuan is a little dead-eyed, always reluctant to go out, who knows if his disciples are the same problem, if he can solve Donglai County, then Yan Shao will govern Beihai and Donglai Counties, and have more than 10,000 soldiers and horses under his command, no matter how picky those people are, they should know each other...

―――――――――― Dividing Line――――――――――

For Yan Shao, the top priority is to solve the problem of Donglai County, and he was provoked by Cai Qi before, if he doesn't react at all, he will inevitably be seen as weak and bullied, which is a very fatal thing.

Now the situation in Qingzhou is very complicated, the six counties of Qingzhou, except for one Donglai County, which blatantly opposes Yan Shao, and Qi State is caught in civil strife and has no time to take care of itself, the remaining counties have an ambiguous attitude, and at this time it is necessary to take Cai Qi first.

Fortunately, before Yan Shao returned, Tai Shici had already thought that Yan Shao would send troops to retaliate, and prepared the soldiers, horses, grain and grass needed to send troops early, Yan Shao just rested a little, and didn't even have time to do more warmth with the concubines at home, so he immediately rode on horseback and led the army to the east...

Looking at Yan Shao's back on the city wall, Diao Chan and Zhang Ning inevitably felt a little resentful, even Lu Yan'er was the same―――――― her purpose of committing to Yan Shao was not particularly pure, at least not because she fell in love with Yan Shao.

But after committing to Yan Shao, her identity is Yan Shao's woman, no matter how much she seeks benefits for her own lineage, she is still a woman after all, isn't she?

But...

"After this time, I believe that the six counties of Qingzhou will no longer be able to leave the palm of his hand..."Thinking of this, the corners of Lu Yan'er's mouth turned up slightly, and her heart became happy, so that Diao Chan and Zhang Ning next to her were a little surprised.

It's not surprising that for people like them who are only willing to be simple women, how can they understand the thoughts of Lu Yan'er who are so different?

The army is mighty, and the total number of troops raised by Yan Shao this time is more than 6,000, which is almost equivalent to the strength of Yan Shao when he went to the Sour Date Alliance. Among them, there were 4,000 infantry troops, and there were 1,000 archers and 1,000 cavalry, which were definitely strong soldiers and horses.

Last time, Cai Qi led the troops to attack, but many people suffered heavy losses. Even if Cai Qi was busy on the road at that time and did not carry out the plunder, what about after the defeat?

For these remnants of the defeated generals, it is not easy to continue to maintain good military discipline. What's more, Cai Qi himself is not a person who knows how to lead troops to fight, so it is nothing to let his soldiers and horses fight a smooth battle, after the defeat, he instantly lost control of the soldiers and horses under his command, which also made the remnants of Donglai County The defeated generals did a lot of damage along the way, I don't know how many fertile fields were destroyed, and how many villages and towns were looted.

Fortunately, they were still worried about the pursuers behind them, and they didn't dare to go too far, otherwise the losses would be too much.

―――――――――― Dividing Line――――――――――

"You say, what should I do now!" In the hall, hearing the information that Tanma had just sent, Cai Qi pushed down all the things on the table in annoyance, and the things on it fell to the ground, making a burst of noise.

Listening to Cai Qi's roar, the people outside the hall were terrified one by one, and they didn't dare to go in at all.

Unlike Jiao He, that useless waste, Cai Qi's ability is somewhat stronger, although the yellow scarves were rampant in Donglai County before, they were not like Jiao He, and he didn't even have the courage to lead the army to recruit and suppress. There is also some majesty in itself, and when you are angry, you will not even be able to deter your subordinates.

However, this monstrous anger did not shake the scribes below.

Picking up the broken pieces on the ground, the scribe shook his head. "These are all mistakes, I didn't expect that Tai Shi Ci actually took advantage of our minds in turn, made a trap outside Beihai City, and asked the lord to punish him..."But he didn't even have the idea of justification, he knew very well how big the impact of this mistake was, before Beihai was still a little jealous of Donglai County, but now that the soldiers and horses are all gone, there is no scruple on the other side.

No, Yan Shao had just returned from Jingzhou, and he led his troops to attack Cai Qi, considering that there were only a few troops left in Donglai County, Cai Qi's hope was quite slim. In this case, as a strategist, he naturally has to take responsibility. What's more, he was the one who sent troops to Beihai before, and then he persuaded Cai Qi to rush to Beihai day and night, who would he carry if he didn't carry this pot?

But in the end, this can't be blamed on him, there are too many people in this world who think they are smart, not to mention that he is also too eager, and he is not particularly familiar with military strategy, and he doesn't know that under a hasty march of soldiers and horses, there is not much defense ability at all. Otherwise, no matter how eager you are, you will always rest before you reach Beihai City, instead of being as defenseless as before.

"Punishment, punishment, what's the use of punishing you now, that Yan Shao's soldiers and horses are about to arrive outside the city, don't you have any ideas!" Hearing the scribe tell him to punish him, Cai Qi scolded angrily.

He really hated it, hated why he was so obsessed with his mind that he had to listen to this person's plan and raise troops to offend Yan Shao. This is good, his relationship with Yan Shao was originally bad, but now he took the initiative to send an excuse to send troops to others.

If it hadn't been for the past, at worst he would have surrendered. No matter how Yan Shao does this, he can only treat him well, and if he doesn't get it, he will continue to govern Donglai County, and the big deal is that it is empty.

But now, I'm afraid I won't give up until I kill him...

Hearing Cai Qi's words, the scribe also sighed, but he didn't know how to answer him.

It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and there are still too few people like Zhou Yu who can counterattack in a desperate situation after all. What's more, Zhou Yu had a lot of luck to win at the beginning, for example, just as Yuan Shao avoided many correct options in the battle of Guandu, so did Cao Cao, plus Zhou Yu's own talent and ability, etc., and finally created the miracle of Chibi.

But now...

Not to mention that Cai Qi is not as good as Sun Quan, he can't even compare to Zhou Yu's leg hair―――――― although he doesn't know who Zhou Yu is at all...

In any case, considering the few remaining soldiers and horses in Donglai County, there don't seem to be many options for them now.

At this moment, a sergeant broke in from outside and bowed to Cai Qi and the scribe. "My lord, the soldiers and horses of Beihai are already less than thirty miles away from Huang County, and I would like to ask the two adults to make plans in advance..."

With that, he looked up at the two of them, wondering what they could do.

This is not to blame them, Huang County is not very far from Beihai County, thirty miles is already the farthest distance they can explore, and if it is farther, they will go deep into the hinterland of Beihai County. This seems to be a little difficult for the current Cai Qi.

However, listening to this bad news, Cai Qi and the scribe were pale and looked at each other, not knowing what to do...

Now there are only more than 1,000 soldiers and horses in the entire Donglai County, and there are only a few hundred soldiers and horses left in Huang County.

"At this point, the only feasible way is to send someone to contact the rich people in the city and ask them to help them, so that they may be able to hold out for a while. As long as he can hold out for more than ten days, he is willing to take the risk of going to the military camp under the city to consult with Yan Shao, or persuade this person to withdraw from the army, or..." It wasn't until Cai Qi urged again and again that he continued to speak. "Or is it to use this to Yan Shaona, and strive for a decent treatment..."]

With only the existing forces, it was not easy to repel Yan Shao. However, just like other counties, Huang County also has a large number of families. The families of the Han Dynasty were different from those squires in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and each family had almost hundreds of available soldiers, plus the strong men in the city, if they mobilized suddenly, at least on the surface, they were still very strong, and they might be able to hold the city for a while.

As long as he held out for more than ten days, the casualties during the period would be enough to make Yan Shao suffer for a while, so he could negotiate some conditions with Yan Shao. For example, if you withdraw from the army or something, even if Cai Qi needs to pay some price, as long as you can exchange it for Yan Shao's withdrawal, it is okay.

No matter how bad it is, you can still fight for a chance of leniency in Yan Shao's hands, at least to ensure Cai Qi's safety. In this way, even if Cai Qi can no longer be his own county guard, he can also be a field housekeeper, right?

Considering Cai Qi's age, it's not a pity to retire at this age...

Cai Qi also knew that this was probably the best way now, so he sighed and lowered his head.

..

Both Cai Qi and the scribe knew very well how much they offended people by doing this, but there was no way, at a critical juncture, it was not okay not to offend people.

The other families in Huang County didn't care much about whether this county was still the master, but under Cai Qi's mobilization, they still sent some soldiers to the future, and there were more than 1,000 people all added together. Coupled with some mobilized strong men, the city wall was actually full of people for a while, and it seemed that it was very imposing, so that Cai Qi and the scribe were at ease.

However, after seeing the few remaining generals in Donglai County, they shook their heads and sighed.

To the layman, the scene in front of them seemed to be spectacular, but they knew very well that those strong men who had just been pulled up could not even hold knives steadily, and it was a joke to expect them to kill the enemy. There are also those soldiers and generals, they have some combat effectiveness, but they are the most unlikely to work for Cai Qi.

For them, the only person who deserves their lives is the head of their own house.

Cai Qi, what is this?

If the situation is unfavorable, I'm afraid that before Cai Qi gives the order, these people will run away...

But at the moment, there seems to be no other way to count on these people...

Because standing on the head of the city, in the distance, you can already see the banner belonging to the soldiers and horses of the Beihai Sea...
