In Yang's County, Tai Shi Ci and Tian Feng relied on the Beili River to camp and use the river to block Gongsun Zhan's offensive.

So far, Gongsun Chan has not been killed.

After Wang Lei led his army to withdraw from Zhongshan, he went straight south and returned to the army camp at Beili River. After Wang Lei withdrew his troops, Tian Feng and Tai Shici were relieved, Wang Lei took the soldiers of the Flying Tiger Battalion to attack thousands of miles, and he was in danger alone, which was too dangerous, and if he was not careful, it would cause great turmoil. Wang Lei came back safely, and Tian Feng and Tai Shici could go all out to prepare to deal with Gongsun Zhan.

The big tent of the Chinese army, in the barracks.

Wang Lei sat above, and below sat Dian Wei, Tai Shici, Tian Feng, Zhao Fengyue and others.

Everyone gathered, Wang Lei said: "Wuhuan withdrew from Jizhou, now, it's time to clean up Gongsun Zhan." ”

Regarding Gongsun Zhan's attack on Jizhou, Wang Lei felt very uncomfortable.

The relationship between the two is good, but Gongsun Chan is ......

However, Wang Lei also understands that as a person in power, it is impossible to mix feelings into it.

Tai Shi Ci continued: "Lord, Gongsun Zhan has stabilized the power of Zhongshan Kingdom, and has entered Julu County, and now he has occupied Xiaquyang County and went straight to Yang County. The place of the battle, I suggest choosing the Beili River. ”

Zhao Fengyue, Minister of State of Zhongshan, continued: "Gongsun Chan is aggressive, and we must launch a counterattack. If we don't fight back, the people's will will be unstable, which is very unfavorable to us. ”

Wang Lei nodded, agreeing with Tai Shici and Zhao Fengyue's proposal. It's just that Wang Lei suddenly found that Tian Feng had a calm face and a solemn expression, and immediately knew that the situation was not good.

I'm afraid it's something that's going on!

Wang Lei hurriedly asked, "Mr. Yuan Hao, have you encountered something?" ”

Tian Feng replied: "Lord, it's not that I have encountered something, it is the army that has encountered a problem. At the moment, the situation in our army is very bad. Our troops are strong, but the logistics can't keep up, and we don't have enough food and grass. ”

Wang Lei had an expression of disbelief and said, "It's impossible, I didn't get the news of the shortage of grain and grass!" ”

Tian Feng said: "From last year to this year, there has been continuous fighting. Counting carefully, since last year, when the lord went to Wuji County and Yuan Shao served as the Taishou of Bohai County, the war has not stopped. ”

"At the beginning, Yuan Shao was ambitious and led his troops to rebel, attacking the Hejian Kingdom and the Zhongshan Kingdom, and was finally defeated by the lord."

"It didn't take long for Cao Cao to send a letter to crusade against Dong Zhuo, and there was a war between the princes against Dong Zhuo."

"Next, Yuan Shao rebelled again, and the lord led the army to quell the rebellion and solved the crisis faced by Jizhou."

"Han Fu was assassinated, and the lord served as the pastor of Jizhou, but Yuan Shao rebelled with Wuhuan and Gongsun Zhan, and the war has entered a stage of fatigue until now, and the granary is empty, and it is difficult to support it anymore."

"The long-term war has exhausted the food hoarded in Jizhou in the past two years."

"A few days ago, news came from the rear that there was not enough grain and grass, and it would last for another half a month at most. In addition to us, Wei Jun's Zhang Jaw, Fu Zhi and Tian Yu were in charge of the defense, and they were also facing a lack of food and grass. ”

Tian Feng looked serious and continued: "Jizhou is prosperous and rich, with thousands of miles of fertile soil, as long as there are three or five years to recuperate, you will be able to hoard grain and grass for several years or even decades. But Jizhou did not have enough time to cultivate, Han Fu served as the pastor of Jizhou for just over a year, and before Han Fu, there had been black mountain thieves and yellow turban thieves raging, so that Jizhou was in chaos. Han Fu has served as the state pastor for more than a year, and Jizhou has recovered to a certain extent, but it is far from enough. The continuous wars have depleted Jizhou's savings. ”

After Wang Lei heard this, his heart suddenly sank.

At the critical moment, how can you drop the chain!

Now is the time to fight back against Gongsun Zhan, why is the food only enough to support half a month?

For a while, Wang Lei's heart was a mess.

Wang Lei took a deep breath, calmed himself down, quickly made a decision, gritted his teeth and said: "This battle cannot be lost, once you take the initiative to admit defeat, all the arrangements will be wasted." Even, Yuan Shao will attack in a big way, which is very unfavorable to us. I decided to hurry up and defeat Gongsun Chan within half a month and drive him out of Zhongshan Kingdom. ”

Tian Feng frowned and said, "My lord, if you do this, the result will be unimaginable. ”

Wang Lei said: "Does Mr. Yuan Hao have any better suggestions? ”

Tian Feng shook his head helplessly, and in the current situation, Tian Feng also felt extremely difficult.

The soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first, and without the support of grain and grass, Wang Lei's soldiers will not be able to withstand the toss even if they are beaten with iron. Besides, it is impossible for Wang Lei to learn from Wuhuan soldiers to loot the people, as if his neck is stuck.

"Report!!"

A soldier ran in quickly, his eyes grim.

Wang Lei asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The soldier took out a silk letter from his bosom and said, "There is news from Ye County, please take a look." After Wang Lei took it, he took it apart and browsed it. After reading it, Wang Lei clenched his fists, and his knuckles creaked.

"Smack!!"

A punch slammed on the desk, and Wang Lei's anger surged.

There was an abrupt change, and everyone in the tent was solemn.

I'm afraid, something has happened again.

Wang Lei waved his hand to let the soldier who reported the news retreat, took a deep breath, and calmed down his messy mind. It was a great joy to defeat the Wuhuan soldiers and withdraw to the camp, and the continuous events made Wang Lei's mentality a little unbalanced.

Wang Lei adjusted his mentality and said, "Everyone, I just received news from Ye County. We are facing not only Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao, but also the Yellow Turban thief Guan Hai who came from Qingzhou. According to the news sent back by the spies, Guan Hai was also instigated by Yuan Shao. The army under Guan Hai's command is no less than 350,000, although it is a rabble, it should not be underestimated. ”

Tai Shi Ci frowned and said, "I just drove away Wu Huan, and we ushered in the Yellow Turban Thief again." This time, it's really eventful! If you want to defeat Gongsun Zhan, I'm afraid it will be difficult. ”

Tian Feng's brows also wrinkled into a Sichuan character, his expression was solemn, and he said helplessly: "The time for the rise of the lord is too short, and it has only been more than a year so far. Compared with Yuan Shao, the accumulated contacts and prestige are not enough. Yuan Shao was able to find countless people to besiege Jizhou, but the lord had no way to resolve it. In the future, it is necessary not only to recuperate, but also to expand the connections and prestige of the lord, so that Jizhou is invincible. ”

Wang Lei looked at Tian Feng and said, "Mr. Yuan Hao, the situation is unfavorable, what are your suggestions?" ”

Tian Feng said: "It was too sudden, and there was no strategy to deal with it for the time being. ”

Wang Lei became more and more irritable in his heart, but he didn't show it, and pressed it deep in his heart. Wang Lei didn't expect that Yuan Shao would continue to incite surrounding forces to attack Jizhou. This time, it really had a huge impact on him.

Tai Shi Ci said: "My lord, there will be a suggestion at the end. ”

Wang Lei was overjoyed, leaned forward slightly, pressed his hands on the desk, and said, "Ziyi has thought of a clever plan, let's talk about it, let's discuss it." At this moment, Wang Lei saw a glimmer of hope again, looking forward to Tai Shici to give a surprise.
