The smoke that filled the city gradually cleared, and pedestrians began to take to the streets, but every trace of the city was a reminder of the terrible battles that had taken place here before. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Even days after the fighting, the smell of blood in the city would still linger, and every day a corpse would be dragged out of the corner of the street, some still looking fresh, some beginning to decompose.

The blood stains on the city wall, no matter how many times they have been washed, will still leave a few traces, but they are still much stronger than in the original period. And the inhabitants of the city seem to have begun to adapt to the soldiers wearing different armor, and even gradually began to like it, at least compared to the soldiers stationed in the city before, they can be regarded as innocent of the inhabitants of the city.

In addition, Zheng Qi has just become the lord of Qi State, and he has no prestige, so no one will miss Zheng Qi much.

It's just that...

In the process of besieging the city, it is inevitable that there will be many casualties.

Yan Shao's Qingzhou army is nothing, is there a war, it is inevitable that there will be casualties, not to mention that it is the defenders who are fighting against them, not the people in the city, so there will be no targeted things.

But it is difficult to say to the people in the city, when defending the city, Zheng Qi mobilized many young people from the city to help defend the city in order to be able to defend the city―――――― it is said to be mobilization, in fact, it is not much different from pulling Zhuangding.

In the process of besieging the city, not least how many people died in it, but this made many people hostile to the Qingzhou army, and this hostility may only take time to wash away...

In any case, as five of the six counties of Qingzhou fell into the hands of Yan Shao, the soldiers and horses under his command also had the qualifications to call themselves the Qingzhou Army. At this time, the plain country, which has not yet been included in the palm of his hand, is a little bit of an eyesore.

"My lord, Liu Bei of the Plains is very benevolent and righteous, and the two sworn brothers under his account also have the courage of ten thousand people. Why didn't the lord send someone to the plains to say that he would surrender, so that he would not only be spared a fight, but also allow the lord to get two more tiger generals..."In Linzi City, in the mansion that originally belonged to Jiao He, Zhao Yun said to Yan Shao.

Dressed in white robes and silver armor, he made the hall shine brightly.

When the sour jujube alliance, Yan Shao was really fast, and when he saw it here, he ran to Yuan Shao's hand to ask for manpower, which was also a time when his action was more explosive. Such good intentions are not without reward, since then Zhao Yun has been loyal to Yan Shao, not to mention the duel with Lu Bu before the Tiger Prison Pass, there are also many merits since he defected to Yan Shao's account.

However, compared with Yan Shao, Liu Bei's speed is not very inferior. Zhao Yun had just arrived under Yan Shao's tent for a few days, and Liu Bei had already searched for it. Naturally, it was impossible for Zhao Yun at that time to switch to Liu Bei's account anyway, not to mention Yan Shao's kindness to him, his personality would never be like this―――――― Gongsun Chan was not a British lord in history, and Zhao Yun was also Liu Bei who waited for Gongsun Chan to die before going to Liu Bei, not to mention that Yan Shao's personality was much stronger than Gongsun Zhan?

However, in the short contact, Liu Bei's personality still left a deep impression on Zhao Yun and had a high favor. Seeing that Yan Shao was about to send troops to the plain, Zhao Yun couldn't help but stand up.

Seeing Zhao Yun defending Liu Bei, a general next to him said angrily: "Why should General Zhao say good things for Liu Bei, this person is just a mat seller, how can he be compared with the lord." When the lord attacked Wang Xuan before, he wrote a letter to the lord, and there was a lot of sarcasm between the words, and these people swore to kill him! ”

Zhao Yun looked over, and it turned out to be Gan Ning.

The so-called lord humiliated the minister's death, and Yan Shao's previous bending of Corporal Gan Ning made Gan Ning deeply feel the grace of the encounter. Maybe his character is a little unruly, but he is loyal to Yan Shao, when Liu Bei wrote a letter to ridicule Yan Shao the previous time, Gan Ning once asked Yan Shao for a soldier and horse to kill the plain directly, and take off Liu Bei's head, but he was rejected by Yan Shao, and now he is finally looking forward to the opportunity, how can he give up?

With Gan Ning at the beginning, other generals in the camp also responded, especially Guan Hai and several other generals. They were not particularly polite to Zhao Yunzhi, but they really didn't have a good impression of Liu Bei at all. Especially after experiencing Wang Xuan's incident, he was extremely annoyed with this guy who started a mat weaver but dared to point fingers at them.

The crowd in the camp was turbulent, and the atmosphere became extremely lively, looking at the angry appearance of the generals in the camp, Zhao Yun opened his mouth, and finally sat back in his seat silently.

How could he not understand that it was useless to say anything in such an atmosphere.

Seeing that the generals below were so angry, Yan Shao smiled bitterly, but he also felt a little relieved. No matter who you are, you will want your subordinates to turn to you when necessary, which does not mean anything, but it brings a great sense of comfort.

"Okay, generals don't have to be like this, Liu Bei doesn't know the current affairs, and he will be destroyed..." However, this person is not simple, especially the two sworn brothers under the account, just like Zilong said, they both have the courage of ten thousand people, but they should not be careless..."

"What do you mean?" In the first place, Tai Shi Ci asked with his fists.

"The three armies rested in the city for three days, and after three days, the troops sent to the plain..." Liu Bei, I will never let go..."

No matter how much you admire Liu Bei's persistence in troubled times, there are some things that must be done. As the overlord of Shu Han during the Three Kingdoms period, Liu Bei is one of the targets that Yan Shao must get rid of, rather than letting this person create a lot of trouble for himself in the future, it is better to get rid of this person first.

The only thing that made him hesitate a little was whether getting rid of Liu Bei would completely interfere with Yan Shao's understanding of history. But after thinking that I had crossed over, history had already changed drastically, and there were not many doubts about this.

When the other generals heard this, they naturally became excited, but Zhao Yun sighed lightly, but did not say anything.

No matter how much he has a good impression of Liu Bei, he can't deny the fact that he is subordinate to Yan Shao's account. What's more, when Liu Bei was in Le'an before, he also wrote a letter and ridiculed Yan Shao, such behavior is intolerable for any prince, especially in such an era, if Yan Shao endures it like this, he may be looked down upon.

Just when Yan Shao was about to announce the breakup, Dong Zhao and Cheng Yu glanced at each other, and Dong Zhao took the lead in standing up.

"There are no less than tens of thousands of elite soldiers under the command of the lord, and there are no less than dozens of generals, but the lord's position is a county guard, in other words, there is nothing in the past, and now the lord of the six counties in Qingzhou has five of them, and then using the position of the county guard is inevitably a little unjustifiable..."

"When there is chaos today, the Son of Heaven is also coerced by traitors, and his subordinates implore the lord to set himself up as the Qingzhou pastor, raise troops to fight thieves, and support the Han family to calm the world!"

Hearing the news of Yan Shao's capture of Linzi, Dong Zhao did not stay in Jinan for too long, but rushed back to Linzi day and night to help Yan Shao deal with the mess left behind. What he said just now was the conclusion that he had discussed with Cheng Yu for a long time.

After owning the five counties of Qingzhou, Yan Shao has become the de facto master of Qingzhou. At this time, it is a little inappropriate to hang the title of a Beihai county guard―――――― what right does a county guard have to rule the entire Qingzhou?

It may not be much at first, but after a long time, I am afraid that the other counties that have just subdued will rise to dissent.

In addition to this, it can also boost morale.

There are many ways to get your subordinates to be loyal to you, and one of the most important is to reward. And the way to reward is not only money, but also the promotion of positions, at least Yan Shao himself does not believe that these subordinates follow him, all of them are the kind that do not seek fame and fortune...

The problem is that a mere Beihai Taishou can't give his subordinates too high a status, and Qingzhou Mu is different...

When the other generals in the tent heard this, they looked at Cheng Yu and Dong Zhao who were kneeling on the ground, and they also hurriedly followed.

"We implore the lord to set up his own state pastor, raise troops to fight thieves, and support the Han family to calm the world!"

―――――――――― Dividing Line――――――――――

In Pingyuan City, Liu Bei was walking back and forth in the front yard, his face was very heavy.

His two sworn brothers followed him, and their expressions were not very good-looking. Not long ago, news came from the east that Linzi City had fallen and Zheng Qi had been captured by Yan Shao. Of course, this did not surprise them, but Linzi fell so quickly, which caught them off guard.

But what really made them anxious was the news from Jinan.

The location of Jinan is very important, and the reason why Yan Shao did not bypass Qi and Jinan to attack the plains directly was because the two regions of Qi and Jinan happened to block Yan Shao's march route. Even after conquering the Qi State, if you want to attack the plains, the best route is to pass through the land of Jinan. Because of the geographical location of Jinan, most of the plain was covered just right, which is why when Linzi was about to fall, Dong Zhao did not stay with Yan Shao but chose to set off for Jinan―――――― not to say that you can't attack the plain without capturing Jinan, but then you need to make a detour, a big bend...

And Jinan is also equivalent to the largest barrier in the plain...

With Jinan in the way, Liu Bei can have enough time to prepare, whether it is a strong wall or other measures, he can have enough time as a buffer. However, what he didn't expect was that Jinan Xiang Zhou Feng actually directly demoted Yan Shao, and now five of the six counties in Qingzhou belong to Yan Shao. The rest is a plain country, Liu Bei and the others can fully imagine what Yan Shao's next dynamic will be...

The situation in the plain is already precarious, to this point, let alone Liu Bei and Guan Yu, even the rough-witted Zhang Fei understands what this means, and there are many fewer voices muttering on weekdays.

Seeing Liu Bei sighing, Jian Yong took two steps forward to persuade. "The lord doesn't have to worry, Yan Shao has just captured the Qi State, and he must not be able to raise troops to come to the plains in a short time..."

Liu Bei is also extremely miserable in his heart, to say that he is also full of ambition, but when he was in the Yellow Turban, he repeatedly made military exploits, just because he did not bribe the ten permanent servants, and finally only got the position of a county lieutenant. But for a character like Liu Bei, what is a mere county lieutenant?

Unexpectedly, later the imperial court began to reduce the number of people who had obtained official positions for military merits, and Liu Bei did not bribe the officials who came down to inspect, and in the end he failed to keep even a county lieutenant.

Fortunately, he also has some background after all, he is a student of Lu Zhi, and there are classmates like Gongsun Chan to help him, and in the end, with his performance in the Sour Jujube Alliance, coupled with the help of Gongsun Zhan, he finally won the position of Prime Minister of the Plains, and he can barely be regarded as a prince.

There is no doubt that such a position cannot satisfy Liu Bei, but it is also a good starting point for him, who would have thought that before he could start to display his ambitions, he would have to face the urgent situation of the pressure of the army.

An incompetent person like Yuan Highway can get the attachment of heroes and become a prince just because he has a good family background, and he is obviously ambitious, but because of his background, he has a bumpy road...

At this time, an official under Liu Bei's account came over, glanced at Zhang Fei cautiously, and admonished. "Since five of the six counties in Qingzhou have been attributed to Yan Shao, it can be seen that the number of days is there, why don't the lords also learn from Zhou Feng. That Yan Shao treats Zhou Feng so well, his open-mindedness is extraordinary, if the lord votes for Yan Shao, it will not be regarded as wronging himself..."

As soon as these words came out, not to mention that Liu Bei was stunned, his two sworn brothers became even more furious.

Especially Zhang Fei, who grabbed it with Pu Fan's big hand, and wanted to teach this person a lesson.

I don't want the official to be very clever, as if he had been prepared, Zhang Fei had already hid behind Liu Bei as soon as he moved―――――― who didn't know in the plains, Liu Bei had two sworn brothers, both of whom had the courage to be unreasonable, Guan Yu among them was okay, extremely proud, as long as he didn't provoke him, there was basically nothing, but that Zhang Fei was...

Since Liu Bei entered the plains, there have been many people who have been beaten because they angered Zhang Fei, and there are countless soldiers in the army who have been whipped. If it weren't for Liu Bei's charm, plus Zhang Fei was very bold, and he looked at himself quite well, even if the other party was just an ordinary scholar, I was afraid that the military spirit of the plain would have been dispersed long ago.

The reason why this official deliberately glanced at Zhang Fei just now was because he knew that his words would definitely anger this short-tempered third general. But he dared to say such things, and he was prepared. Zhang Fei is certainly short-tempered, but there are not no people in this city who can restrain him, and Liu Bei is one of them.

As long as Liu Bei is here, he doesn't have to worry about his life.

Sure enough, before Zhang Fei could catch him, Liu Bei was already on the side. "Yide, don't stop it yet!"

Zhang Fei tried to catch it a few times, but the official was really clever, so he kept hiding behind Liu Bei's back and didn't come out. In addition, Liu Bei's expression became more and more popular, and Zhang Fei had no choice but to stop obediently.

"How can Yide be so rude, what Xianzhang said just now is also for my sake..."

"Hmph, why does the eldest brother bother to maintain such a villain, what he says is good, but he just sees that Yan Shao is powerful, greedy for life and afraid of death!"

Zhang Fei's words made the official's face flush slightly.

In fact, Liu Bei didn't agree with Zhang Fei's words in his heart, but some things were okay to think about in his heart, but they could never be said, just like Zhang Fei...

Guan Yu next to him looked at it, and his face was also full of helplessness, but when he looked at the official who led the way, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes.

Just as the courtyard was in chaos, there was a sudden sound of rapid running outside.

To say that the courtyard was lively at this time, many people were looking at the farce in front of them and shook their heads, so Guan Yu seemed to hear something and looked in the direction of the door. After a while, he saw a small official running in from outside the door and shouted to the crowd who were looking at him.

"Report to the lord, Yan Shao has established himself as the Qingzhou pastor in Linzi, and he will lead the army to invade the plains in the near future..."

Hearing this news, the courtyard instantly became silent, and everyone looked at each other, but they didn't know what to do.

Liu Bei's expression didn't seem to change, showing a deep city.

―――――――――― Dividing Line――――――――――

After annexing the soldiers and horses of Donglai, Le'an, Qi and Jinan, Yan Shao led more than 50,000 soldiers and horses. Of course, a considerable part of this is derived from the original Qingzhou Yellow Turban, and the battle is somewhat reassuring, but such a huge number of troops is considered an outlier even among today's princes.

As for the small Plains County, it is even less likely to be Yan Shao's opponent. This is also the reason why the officials of the plains are inclined to surrender like Zhou Feng. If it's really the same as Le'an or Qi Guo, the loss of these people will be great.

And after hearing the news about Linzi, Liu Bei was also silent for a long time.

He had expected this news, but when he actually heard it, he still felt a little lost.

"Lord, don't hesitate, if you hesitate any longer, it's nothing more than the jade burning..." Please also ask the lord to think of the people of the plains..."

As soon as his words fell, many officials were already bowing to the ground together, some of them had been discussed together in advance, and some of them were just following the trend.

Zhang Fei saw it and wanted to kill them angrily, but was stopped by Guan Yu, and Jian Yong on the side looked helpless.

It was at this time that I heard the sound of rapid running coming from outside the door again.

Just when Liu Bei and the others thought that there was some bad news coming, they heard the person who came in outside say loudly. "My lord, the messenger of General Gongsun has arrived..."

Hearing this, Liu Bei's face finally had a layer of joy.
