In the early morning, in Changshan Country, the snowflakes are still flying, and to the east of Zhending County, the camp of the original Gaolan garrison is empty. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Zhang Liao stood silently in front of a banner in Yuanmen, which was embroidered with a high letter.

He hurried from Jingcheng Road overnight, and he didn't change his clothes, he was still covered with blood, and generals such as Zhao Yun, Gao Shun, Biqiu Yi, Hao Zhao, Zhang Jian, and Shi A silently accompanied him.

"I didn't expect him to defect." Zhang Liao's voice was very flat.

All the generals knew that Zhang Liao was talking about Gao Lan, and their eyes all showed anger, this time Zhang Liao was too dangerous, if it weren't for Guo Jia noticing the abnormality before they stepped into the ambush circle, Zhang Liao would have died a long time ago, even so, they were also nine deaths, heavy losses, Zhang Liao is still injured in many places.

Zhao Yun had a relationship with Gao Ran before, and said truthfully: "I heard that Gao Ran did not take refuge in Yuan Shao at the beginning, but Zhao Fu and Cheng Huan were first co-opted by Yuan Shao, and later Gao Lan's clan patriarch also came......

"Yes, the current clan, I can understand his choice, if I were me, maybe I would choose the same...... However, Zhang Liao's flat voice suddenly turned higher: "Why didn't he even have a warning!" ”

Zhang Liaokeng pulled out his long sword and cut off the high-character banner with a sword: "In vain, I trust him and let him guard the second county!" He came with a rescue letter, I didn't doubt it, and only came to help him with a thousand guards, until Yuan Shao ambushed me in the middle of the road, I still believed him in my heart, thinking that he was calculated, and came to Changshan overnight with injuries, not to chase down any Yuan Shao, but to see if he was calculated and killed...... Hehe, I'm still fucking naïve! ”

The generals were silent, Zhang Liao really trusted these generals very much, treated them like brothers, took good care of their families, often taught their children, and cultivated them carefully, they could feel it on weekdays, so they were desperate for Zhang Liao.

"I, Zhang Liao, claim to have never treated my brothers and friends badly!" Zhang Liao's voice became higher and higher: "He wants to vote for another master, a letter comes, I will vote for him, so that I can gather and disperse, that's it, but what did he do?" He didn't do anything, not even Guo Gongze! My five hundred brothers died in battle, and the head sacrifice of Koji Yi is not enough, he must give me an explanation! ”

The voice behind Zhang Liao was almost roaring, and in that half a day, he watched one by one his guards die in front of him in order to kill the enemy or protect him.

On the battlefield, he endured his grief and encouraged the soldiers, and the soldiers needed his composure, but at this time, he vented it all at once!

Looking at Zhang Liao, whose body was trembling slightly, the generals were silent, they understood Zhang Liao's mood.

In this ambush battle, Yuan Shao lost his troops and lost generals, but they also suffered great losses, although they were only five hundred personal soldiers, but those were the elite of the elite selected from various armies, many of them were their cronies, and they were about to serve in the army after they were trained in the personal guard battalion, but now they died so much at once.

Zhang Liao took a few breaths before calming down his emotions, and after wandering for two steps, he turned his head and ordered the generals: "Brother Biqiu, you will lead the troops back to Shangdang, listen to the order, and be ready to send troops to attack Wei County and Zhao State at any time!" ”

"Whoa!" Biqiu Yi bowed down and received the order.

Zhang Liao looked at Gao Shun again: "Brother Gao, Changshan Country will be handed over to you, all those who participated in the ambush and secretly conspired with Yuan Shao, all of them were arrested, and when they encountered Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses, they were killed or captured, and Ren Er was self-dictatory, as long as he had one request, he quickly controlled Changshan." ”

He looked at Zhao Yun again: "Zilong, you are from Changshan, it is inconvenient to act in Changshan, Zhongshan County will be handed over to you, all bullies, collaborators, and troublemakers will be arrested, and Zhen, Su, and Zhang can help you." Remember, don't implicate the innocent, don't disturb the people. ”

Gao Shun and Zhao Yun took the order and left.

"Bo Dao." Zhang Liao also instructed Hao Zhao: "You will lead the troops to camp and train, and listen to orders at any time." ”

"Whoa." Hao Zhao hurriedly received the order.

Hao Zhao is a native of Taiyuan, he is a weak crown, but he has to be reused by Zhang Liao, and he is the first batch of generals to enter Jingyuan Wutang, and he has great respect for Zhang Liao, the legendary general of the expedition to the north. Especially yesterday's battle in Jingcheng Daozhong made Zhang Liao's status in his heart more than a notch.

After Hao Zhao left, only Zhang Jian and Shi A were left by Zhang Liao's side.

"Third son, Ah Heng." Zhang Liao instructed Zhang Jian and Shi A: "This time it was ambushed, or the shadow of Jizhou is too weak, the shadow of Jizhou needs to be rebuilt, divided into two divisions, the outer division transmits the military information, and the internal division is highly confidential, and if the situation is not transmitted at an important time, it must not be exposed." ”

"Whoa." Zhang Jian and Shi A received the order.

Especially Zhang Jian, he has always felt guilty in his heart, this time Yuan Shao set up an ambush, and his shadow did not send news in advance, which is considered a dereliction of duty.

Zhang Liao didn't blame Zhang Jian, in fact, the development of the Shadow Division was still very good, but the previous focus had been on Bingzhou and Liangzhou, and Jizhou had no time to take care of it, so something went wrong.

After everyone left, Zhang Liao went to rest, just lying on the couch, but he couldn't calm down in his heart.

is not only the loss of more than half of the guards, but also the situation in Jizhou.

In fact, the last time Zhang Liao came to Jizhou, he found that Jizhou was different from the places of Bingzhou, Hedong, and Guanzhong, and Guanzhong, which had been plagued by wars for more than 100 years, and the local forces had been seriously damaged.

Jizhou is different, looking at the entire Han Dynasty, Jizhou and Nanyang are the most special, they are the land of Longxing of Emperor Guangwu of the Later Han Dynasty, and the power of the Hao clan in these two places is also the most powerful.

Such a powerful wealthy force, not to mention that his decree is difficult to implement, it is extremely difficult to really control it, whether it is Yuan Shao or Han Fu, controlling Jizhou is to win over and rely on local forces, otherwise how can they sit firmly.

But in such a way of controlling Jizhou, the consequences are also great, Han Fu needless to say, the local forces in Jizhou directly tacitly sold him, and Yuan Shao became the pastor of Jizhou, the highest position and power under him are not his original lineage, but the Hebei forces that support him, such as the trial, frustration, Tian Feng and others, such as Guo Tu, Xun Chen, Feng Ji, Xu You, are just strategists, the best thing to say is confidants, but the real power is not big.

In the later period, the two major forces under Yuan Shao had serious infighting, Guo Tu slandered Tian Feng and Frustration, not for power, Yuan Shao could not know, but he could not control it, just because the local forces in Jizhou were too strong, he wanted to balance, but the more chaotic it became.

For Zhang Liao, Gao Ran's betrayal this time is a warning, Gao Ran may not want to rebel, but he has a clan in Jizhou, and under the trade-off, he naturally chooses a clan.

Therefore, what Zhang Liao is thinking about most now is how to properly deal with the local wealthy forces in Hebei, otherwise there will be more such rebellions in the future.

This time, Changshan and Zhongshan gave him a chance, he had not pushed the administrative order in these two counties before, that is, the resistance was too great, and the time was not right, and now many wealthy families in these two counties secretly colluded with Yuan Shao, so they gave him a legitimate reason to deal with them.

He wants to be in the field, he wants to make up households, who dares to object, first think about whether he has colluded with Yuan Shao.

He deduced that the more powerful the wealthy clan, the more likely it was to collude with Yuan Shao, and this crime alone was enough to make them lose money, and he used the excuse of pushing the executive order, under the two choices of giving up interests and losing their lives, he believed that most of the wealthy families would still make rational choices, and those who were irrational could only make an example of the chickens and monkeys.

As for the wealthy clans of other counties, now that he is hostile to Yuan Shaoming, it means that those wealthy clans are also on the opposite side of him, and if he seizes a land, he can push the executive order in the name of disposing of the enemy, and whoever dares to oppose it, he will not show mercy.

In the confrontation with Yuan Shao, he wanted to deplete and pacify the power of these wealthy clans.

In this process, of course, there will be great resistance, but there will also be people who support him, firstly, the ordinary people who will benefit from him, this force should not be underestimated, and secondly, some poetry and book heirlooms or wise families will become his help, such as Zhongshan Zhen, Su Shuang, Zhang Shiping, their choice this time is very good. The third is that he will use the means of academies and imperial examinations to cultivate some of his own emerging forces, and these forces can be controlled by himself, and they can counterbalance the original local stubborn forces.

In the next few days, Zhang Liao's nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses quickly took control of Changshan Kingdom and Zhongshan County with a thunderous momentum.

Under the leadership of his soldiers and horses, coupled with the examples of the Zhen family, the Zhang family, and the Su family, the powerful forces of the two counties succumbed one after another, and the government decrees passed smoothly. During this period, the Liu family resisted, and Zhang Liao did not hesitate to give a heavy punishment to Liu Qing on the charge of rebellion, which made the county solemn.

So Zhang Liao's power crossed the Taihang Mountains from Bingzhou and extended to Jizhou.

At the same time, Zhang Liao did not relax his military retaliation against Yuan Shao.
