Jizhou - Yecheng, north of Taihang, south of Zhangshui, west of Luliang, east of the Bohai Sea, strategic location is very important, and water conservancy facilities, around the fertile land of thousands of hectares, the city of residents numerous, business travel from all over the world gathered, in terms of prosperity and wealth, still in the Han Dynasty with the capital - Xuchang City!

It's a pity that yesterday's yellow flowers, unbearable to look back, in just a few years, the situation in Yecheng plummeted, prosperity and wealth disappeared, replaced by hunger, poverty, turmoil......

On Yecheng Street, shops and restaurants have closed their doors, and occasionally a few are open, but the business is also cold and lingering, the adults are in shabby clothes, sighing, the children have vegetables, and their vitality is completely lost, and even the soldiers on patrol are listless and walking dead!

There are many homeless people and beggars, they either stick straw sticks on their heads, sell their children and daughters, or beg along the streets, pick up garbage, life is extremely difficult, coupled with the cold weather, lack of warm clothing, hundreds of people die of cold and starvation every day, there is an endless stream of vehicles pulling dead bodies, and under the pressure of hunger and cold, there are still people who cut the flesh of the corpses for food, just like hell on earth!

Can destroy a city, nothing is natural disasters, man-made disasters, the former is rare, the latter Ganges sand, a Guandu war, Hebei killed hundreds of thousands of people, the loss of money and food is countless, the villages and villages hang filial piety, every household wails, Yecheng is still like this, other places can be imagined!

……………………………………………………………………………………

In the General's Mansion - Council Hall, Yuan Shao wore a tiger skin, reclining on the couch, his face was sallow, his eyes were dim, and his expression was extremely haggard, like a sick tiger, no longer the majesty of the past!

After the defeat of the Guandu Battle and the escape of Yuan Shao back to Yecheng, he was furious, vomited blood, fell ill all of a sudden, and recuperated for several months, only then did he recover a little vitality, reluctantly summoned the civil and military, and began to deal with government affairs!

After the end of the war, the people of Hebei were panicked, and the political situation was turbulent...... Cough! Cough! ”

Yuan Shao made a speech, wanting to cheer up people's hearts, but looking at the empty hall, the officials with three or two kittens were suddenly deflated......

Thinking back to the beginning, Hebei was full of talents, Wen Youtian Feng, Fu Zhu, Xu You, Guo Tu, Trial, Feng Ji, Wu Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang He, Gao Lan, Chun Yuqiong, and hundreds of thousands of horses, piled up mountains of money and grain, the strength of the princes, swallowing mountains and rivers, invincible in the world!

In just a few years, defeat after defeat, countless soldiers and horses were killed and wounded, talents withered away, Yan Liang and Wen Chou died in Xiliang, and their heads became 'skeletons', Chun Yuqiong lost the black nest of grain and grass, and the heads also landed, Zhang He and Gao Ran were cornered, and they were repeatedly angry, so they simply surrendered to Cao Ying!

The same is true of the Wenchens, Tian Feng died in Liyang City, frustrated himself on the bank of the Yellow River, Xu Yu betrayed the lord to seek glory, and also defected to Cao Cao, as for Feng Ji, disappeared on the battlefield of Xiliang, there is gossip that he took refuge in Da Sima-Xiao Yi and is plotting to take revenge on the Yuan family!

The second-rate partial generals also suffered heavy losses, Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang died unexpectedly, Ma Yan, Zhang Yi, Jiao Touch, and Zhang Nan also surrendered to Cao Ying, and a large number of generals and veterans who could recruit good, all of them were lost, and the Hebei group plummeted!

Now there are only two ministers in the hall who are judging and Guo Tu, and two sons, Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang, as for the second son Yuan Xu, who is guilty of stealing grain and grass and losing Liyang, he should have been beheaded, but Yuan Shao couldn't bear to kill his son and confined him in a private house.

The general who can still take out his hand, only Jiang Qi is left, during the Guandu War, this person fought bravely and performed well, after the rout of the whole army, Jiang Qi gathered the defeated soldiers, fought to the death and did not surrender, and actually fled back to Yecheng, which can't help but be impressive!

Especially after the defeat, everyone was depressed, but Jiang Qi gathered the defeated soldiers, rectified the men, and made every effort to strengthen the defense of Yecheng. ’

This title has two meanings, one is that Jiang Qi is diligent, has excellent ability, and can be regarded as a good general; The second is that the Hebei generals will die or surrender, there are no more capable people, Jiang Qi is not the first, who will be the first?

"Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, the battle of Guandu, our army suffered heavy setbacks, Cao's army also suffered heavy casualties, there is no five or six years, absolutely can not recover vitality, we just need to recuperate, the next day to fight again, the victory or defeat is not yet known!"

Strategist Guo Tu stood up, not only to comfort Yuan Shao, but also to boost morale, no matter what, they still have the land of four states, millions of people, and the chance to make a comeback, the key is time!

"Cao Mengde is extremely vicious, the best at falling into the ground, Hugh said that in five or six years, it would be good to have two or three years, we must recruit troops and restore military strength as soon as possible, otherwise, the four states of Hebei will be in danger!"

Yuan Shao is not a person without scheming, and he can see the situation clearly, the question is, if you want to restore military strength, how easy is it to talk about it, lack of soldiers, lack of ordnance, and lack of money and food!

The battle of Guandu was a fiasco, hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Yuan army, and millions of people in Hebei were all buried, leaving only the old, weak, sick and disabled, orphans and widows.

The same is true for ordnance, money and food, the savings of the Yuan group for many years, a battle was lost, in order to support the front-line war, but also three years of pre-levy taxes, the people pawned the fields, bankrupt countless people, really can't squeeze oil and water, and the hungry people rebelled more and more, the Yellow Turban of Montenegro also revived, attacking the city and plundering the land, disrupting the local ......

"Order the officials of Hebei prefectures, counties, and counties to give me full conscription, men over the age of fourteen and under the age of sixty, all those who can walk and move, and have no physical disabilities, will be conscripted into the army, and must recruit 400,000 troops within half a year, that official can't complete it, and the official will be dismissed on the spot and filled with the army, as for money and food, have the Zhen family and the Liang family responded?"

Yuan Shao also went out, came to a desperate fishing, anyway, fight for the light, not fight for the light, the land and people of Hebei, instead of leaving it to Cao Cao in vain, it is better to fight and reverse the situation?

However, soldiers can be forcibly requisitioned, there is really no money and food, the people have already eaten people, and they can only reach out to the gate lord clan, the three major chaebols in the world, the Zhen family and the Liang family are all in Hebei, they are rich and rival the country, there is countless money and food, as long as they are willing to fully support, the Yuan family can get through the difficulties!

Therefore, Yuan Shao sent envoys several times to lobby the two major chaebols, hoping to marry with the two families, so as to share honor and disgrace and share wealth and prosperity, but there was no response at all......

"General Qiyu, Liang Million wrote back that it is a great honor to be able to marry the Yuan family, but the Liang family has no daughter to be married, please give him a few years of grace and let him raise his daughter!

The Zhen family agreed to marry, and was ready to marry a young lady into the General's Mansion to marry a hundred years of marriage, but the object of their marriage was the second son Yuan Xu, which was a bit ......"

The matter of facilitating the marriage is the one who is responsible for the trial, and this strategist has a bitter face, obviously encountering a lot of trouble!

The Liang family has a big business and a large population, and there are twenty or thirty of Liang's biological daughters alone, how can there be no one to marry, but they just deliberately shirk it, which shows that the Liang family is not optimistic about the Yuan family and is ready to find another backer!

The Zhen family is also a snake and a mouse at both ends, they agreed to marry, but they chose Yuan Xu, who doesn't know that the second son has been seriously injured, and without the 'root' of a man, how can he marry a wife and have children, this is humiliating the Yuan family!

"Zhen and Liang's two chaebols, but there are just a few stinky money, An dares to humiliate the Yuan family, and when the old man turns over, he must be good-looking, I'm really angry......"

If he had been insulted like this a few years ago, Yuan Shao would have sent a large army to uproot the Zhen and Liang families and kill them cleanly, but unfortunately, at this time, at that time, he would not have the courage!

Zhen and Liang have rich pockets, many children, all over the military, politics, and business industries, and have strong comprehensive strength, once they touch them, I am afraid that they will pull the flag and rebel, and directly take refuge in Cao Cao, Yuan Jun has just been defeated, and the vitality is greatly damaged, and it really can't bear the turmoil!

Since you can't bear it, you can only endure it, the Liang family does not agree to the marriage, then the idea of lobbying, all kinds of pleading, if it really can't work, the Yuan family marries a daughter in the past, as long as they contribute money and efforts, continue to support the Yuan group, at least don't take refuge in Cao Ying!

If Zhen wants to marry the second son, then agree, just release Yuan Xi and let him make some contributions to the family, as for how the husband and wife live and who replaces them in the cave room after the church is married, it doesn't matter!

If you want Hebei to be safe and sound, in addition to recruiting soldiers and horses, expanding forces, and then winning over allies, the four major groups of Jiangdong, Jingzhou, Hanzhong, and Bashu, as long as they are willing to send troops north, can contain the Cao army and win buffer time for the Hebei group!

For this matter, Hebei sent more than a dozen groups of envoys, carrying a large number of gifts, to lobby the princes of the four towns, but unfortunately with little success, Huainan battle, Jiangdong lost troops and generals, the little overlord Sun Ce also fell, his younger brother Sun Quan has just ascended the throne, is busy consolidating the foundation, and has no strength to send troops north!

Liu Zhang stayed in Shuzhong, became a world of his own, and ignored the outside world; Zhang Lu devoted himself to cultivating the Tao, and also had close contacts with the imperial court, and refused to send troops to help; The only thing that can be counted on is Jingzhou-Liu Biao, with two or three hundred thousand soldiers and horses under his command, and his strength cannot be underestimated!

Thinking of this, Yuan Shao hated Liu Bei again, the big-eared thief used his two wives as hostages, deceived countless gold, silver and jewelry, and went to persuade Liu Biao to send troops, but he never looked back, and he didn't know if he died in the hands of Cao Jun, or ran away with the money?

"Report! -A general came from outside the mansion, signed up for Changshan-Zhao Yun, claiming to have been ordered by Liu Bei to welcome the two ladies to Jingzhou, and asked the general to decide! ”

While everyone was discussing, an attendant ran into the lobby and announced a shocking news, the white horse silver spear - Zhao Zilong is here!
