Just when the general surnamed Li thought that he was about to kill Cheng Jian in front of him, Cheng Jian opened his eyes violently, and the right hand covering his left shoulder had touched the long sword placed in front of him before, and he also stabbed straight at the general surnamed Li who could not borrow his strength for the time being.

"Poof!" "Poof! The sound of two metal entering the flesh sounded at the same time, and the general surnamed Li looked down at the long sword in his chest in amazement, and then looked up at the long sword in his hand that pierced Cheng Lian's chest.

"Why?"

Cheng Jian coughed lightly, blood appeared at the corner of his mouth, and said lightly: "No, on the road alone, how can you... Not... Isn't it too much... Too lonely? ”

"Hehe... The general surnamed Li, who got the answer, smiled, and the corners of his mouth also kept bubbling with blood, and then he paused and said: "Death... Dead also. That's good! Lest. lest Ben will be at home. Women and children at home are often in danger! ”

After that, the general surnamed Li actually chuckled with relief on his face, and slowly lowered his head. When Cheng Jian was dying, he saw the relieved expression of General Li, and his heart was suddenly in his heart. Then he spat out a mouthful of blood, smiled bitterly, and hung his head.

What happened in the blink of an eye in the military tent finally alarmed the rest of the generals in the barracks. The generals who had previously conspired with General Li immediately began to seize power, preparing to control the soldiers and horses and continue to serve Yuan Shao. Of course, the generals who agreed with Cheng Lian's surrender before did not allow it, and the two tallest generals in the barracks died tragically in the barracks, and the entire barracks became chaotic in an instant.

The chaos in the military camp in Quanzhou City naturally did not escape the eyes of Tian Yu outside the city. Although Tian Yu didn't know why the army in the city suddenly fought among themselves, Tian Yu didn't want to miss such a good opportunity, and besides, it was at night, which was even more suitable for a surprise attack on the city. Under Tian Yu's military order, the Bingzhou army, which had already rested, launched a surprise attack on Quanzhou.

The sudden battle lasted less than three hours, and before dawn, the curtain slowly ended. Tian Yu captured Quanzhou as he wished, and the soldiers and horses of Jizhou who voluntarily surrendered occupied almost seventy percent of the entire army, and the remaining three percent of the soldiers and horses of Jizhou who insisted on resisting were almost killed by Tian Yu. After dawn, when Tian Yu was still rectifying the military and political affairs of Quanzhou City, he soon ushered in the hurried Dian Wei army and its more than 10,000 soldiers.

Tian Yu still followed Xiang Ao's decree in the past, and after asking the opinions of the soldiers, those who were willing to continue to serve in the army stayed and dispersed and incorporated into their own ranks. Those who did not want to join the army but were willing to become naturalized and merged with the state followed Dian Wei and went to Juyong Pass. Those who did not want to join the army or become naturalized and merged with the state, Tian Yu did not hinder them too much and let them leave.

Dealing with it so cheaply, Tian Yu has his own considerations. First, he was able to expand the reputation of his main Gong Xiang Ao; Second, let the soldiers return to Jizhou and transmit the details of the battle back to Yuan Shao's army, which confused the morale of Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses. It's a win-win-win-win

The incorporation of the soldiers and horses in Quanzhou instantly exceeded 20,000, and even without the elite cavalry of the Feather Killing Battalion led by Dian Wei, Yuan Shao's army did not dare to enter the country rashly again.

Juyong closes.

"My lord, Yuan Shao's tens of thousands of troops are miserable and have suffered heavy losses, it's time to counterattack Yuan Shao."

After receiving the military information from Tian Yu, Xiang Ao and others hurriedly discussed countermeasures. Jia Xu, who seemed indifferent on weekdays, was a little excited, and said to Xiang Ao.

"Lord, the last general is going to fight!" As expected, Jiang Yan, who was eager for revenge, did not delay, and hurriedly stepped forward to clench his fists and ask Xiang Ao for battle.

Without waiting for Xiang Ao to answer, Zhang He in the hall also couldn't help it, and hurriedly followed suit, and stepped forward to clench his fists and ask for his life. In this battle against Yuan Shao and the eastern expedition to Liaodong, most of the generals under Xiang Ao's command established meritorious service. Tian Yu designed to destroy Yuan Shao's army, Gao Shun and Han Hao also forced Chun Yuqiong not to dare to move at Changshan Pass, and Xu Shu led the former Youzhou general and Zhao Yun The two brothers also made frequent meritorious contributions in Liaodong. Jiang Yannai is a veteran under Xiang Ao, even if he doesn't have too many merits, it doesn't have much impact on Jiang Yan's position.

Only Zhang He, who followed the lord on many expeditions, and there were very few opportunities to make meritorious contributions alone, and Zhang He remembered it in his heart.

"You don't have to be in a hurry!" Xiang Ao chuckled and said indifferently: "This time against Yuan Shao, there are a lot of battles, and it is difficult to win Yuan Shao without three or five years." ”

"Summons Gao Shun, go out of Changshan, and send troops to Zhongshan Kingdom!" Xiang Ao didn't wait for the two to answer, and suddenly ordered to continue: "Order Tian Yu, gather Yongnu soldiers and horses, ignore the enemy army in Guangyang, and send troops to Bohai!" ”

"As for you two..."

"The last general commands!" Before General Xiang Ao could finish speaking, Jiang Yan and Zhang He replied impatiently, looking excited.

"That's it?" Xiang Ao looked stunned and said, "I plan to let you and the two stay in Juyong Pass!" ”

"Ahh Jiang Yan hurriedly stepped forward and said urgently in a pleading tone: "Think twice, lord." Now that the lord is fighting on the third front, he has to guard against the Qiang people and the princes in the west, Ma Teng, the lord must not go to the front line in person, but also need to be in the middle of the dispatch! ”

After hearing this, Zhang He's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "What General Jiang said is extremely true. The lord is the body of ten thousand gold, and there must be no loss, and please think twice. ”

Seeing the two of them clasping their fists and bowing their heads to admonish, Xiang Ao tried his best to suppress his laughter, and his face turned red. Jia Xu looked at Xiang Ao, who was suddenly childlike, helpless and funny, but even more relieved. can have such a lord, Jia Xu will not worry about unloading the mill and killing the donkey after the lord succeeds. Jia Xu coughed awkwardly, and also stepped forward and said: "Lord, what the two generals said is very true, and I also ask the lord to make fun of his net worth." ”

Xiang Ao naturally heard the sincerity and embarrassment in Jia Xu's tone, rubbed his nose helplessly, coughed lightly and continued: "What the two generals said is extremely true. When you go out of the customs to attack Zhuojun, you will hand it over to the two generals, and as for the scheduling, Wen He can handle it. ”

"The last general (Xu) takes the order!" When Zhang He and Jiang Yan, who didn't know it, heard this, they were slightly relieved and hugged their fists to lead their lives. After Jia Xu received the order, he turned his head to look at Zhang He and Jiang Yan, and sighed helplessly.

Soon, Xiang Ao's military order reached the three armies. Gao Shun and Tian Yu did not hesitate at all after receiving the order, and launched attacks on Zhongshan Kingdom and Bohai County respectively. After Juyong Pass, Xiang Ao prepared 10,000 elite regular troops and 40,000 soldiers and horses from Tuntian, and crossed Juyong Pass to start a counterattack against Yuan Shao. Gao Lan's defeat and the reaction of the Bingzhou army made Yuan Shao and his generals anxious.

"What did Honshu Pastor say at the beginning? Yes?! Yuan Shao pushed Yutu to the ground with his crossed hands, and roared angrily: "Send troops to Youzhou!" Troops to Youzhou! Take Luronse! Take Luronse! That's good??? ”

The hall is not only the favored Guo Tu, Xu You and others, but even Xun Chen, Cui Yan and others who don't want to fight more are also chilling, all of them hanging their heads. Yuan Shao paced back and forth, watching the reactions of everyone in the hall, and he was even more angry. After the outburst, Yuan Shao slowly quieted down, and seemed to understand that the anger didn't have much effect.

Yuan Shao slowly walked to his futon, slowly knelt down and sat down, and continued with a gloomy face: "What do you think now? ”

Seeing Yuan Shao's expression, Guo Tu and Xu You, who understood Yuan Shao's temperament, glanced at each other and nodded secretly. Guo Tu stepped forward and said to Yuan Shaozuo: "Lord, at this time, I have to retreat to Jizhou immediately, otherwise I'm afraid..."

"I'm afraid of what?" Yuan Shao's expression was grim, and he turned his head to look at Guo Tu.

Guo Tu, who lowered his head, seemed to be able to feel the endless murderous aura emanating from Yuan Shao's body and the endless coolness on his back. Since he came out on his own, Guo Tu didn't dare to stop it, so he had to take a half-step forward and continue: "Zhongshan is defended by General Chun Yuqiong, and there won't be much crisis. But the guards in Bohai County are probably not the opponents of Tian Yu and others. ”

Xiang Ao personally led the troops and led the army out of Juyongguan, intending to drag down the power of the princess and make the lord powerless to support Zhongshan Kingdom and Bohai County. If the Bohai Sea is lost, what is the use of the lord occupying the two counties of Youzhou? Please also ask the lord to think twice and return to Jizhou as soon as possible, so as not to be dragged down by the army of Jizhou. ”

Although Yuan Shao was annoyed, he also knew his current situation in his heart, and after listening to Guo Tu's words, Yuan Shao's brows furrowed. After thinking about it for a long time without results, Yuan Shao turned his head to look at Cui Yan and said lightly: "Ji Jue has a plan?" ”

Cui Yan, who was alone in a trance, heard this, his body trembled slightly, and he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "My lord, what Guo Saijiu said is very true. In today's situation, the lord should focus on Jizhou, and if he can hold Jizhou, he can compete with Xiang Ao. ”

Now, I'm afraid there is no other way, and Yuan Shao himself wants to come too. It's just that he finally won the second place in Youzhou, and Yuan Shao was reluctant to let go so easily. Not enough Yuan Shao is not a person without courage, after thinking for a while, Yuan Shao raised his head and ordered to everyone: "Order the three armies, prepare to retreat." ”

"The lord is wise!"

Everyone was relieved when they saw that Yuan Shao was relieved and planned to retreat. If Yuan Shao insists on fighting Xiang Ao at Juyong Pass, I am afraid that Jizhou is not far from defeat. If Xiang Ao is allowed to enter Jizhou, with Xiang Ao's decree to the family, how will the family in Jizhou survive in the future.

It's just that what Yuan Shao didn't expect was that this time Xiang Ao went out of Guan Juyong and sent troops to Jizhou, not just planning to recapture Guangyang County and Zhuo County from Yuan Shao, but the land of Jizhou after Guangyang County and Zhuo County.

For more than ten years, although Bingzhou has been built by Xiang Ao to be extremely rich, but with the agricultural utensils that Xiang Ao can now develop by the Ministry of Industry, it may be difficult to improve the yield of crops for Bingzhou. Since Yuan Shao and Xiang Ao have an enmity, and Jizhou is one of the richest states in the world, why doesn't Xiang Ao plan to bring Jizhou under his rule.

As long as Jizhou can be taken, not only can you kill Yuan Shao to take revenge, but also get rid of one of the big enemies fighting for the world, why not
