After capturing Anguo, Zhao Yun and Gao Shun did not stop at all, and after a little rectification, they sent troops again.

Together with the rebellious Jizhou soldiers and horses, Zhao Yun Gaoshun's soldiers and horses did not decrease but increased, gathered 30,000 troops, and broke through the Raoyang (now Raoyang County, Hengshui City, Hebei Province), Wusui (now the area north of Wuqiang, Hebei), Wuyi (now Wuyi County, Hengshui City, Hebei) to Guanjin (dozens of miles east of Wuyi County, Hengshui City, Hebei Province) in one fell swoop, and did not stop until he encountered stubborn resistance in Xindu (now Ji County, Hebei Province).

The ferocity of Xiang Ao's army finally made Yuan Shao frightened and uneasy. At the suggestion of Yuan Shaoyi's advisors, he wrote to Xiang Ao and asked for peace with Xiang Ao. However, Xiang Ao has dragged it out for various reasons, and he did not say that he agreed, nor did he say that he disagreed. Even so, the armies of Zhao Yun and Gao Shun in Wuyi, the overlapping army of Xu Shu, and the army personally led by Xiang Ao of Zhending City made Yuan Shao and the Jizhou family panic.

At the same time, Yuan Shao wrote to Cao Cao in Qingzhou many times, asking Cao Cao to go west to Qingzhou and rush to Jizhou. Cao Cao, who was determined to capture Qingzhou, didn't care what Yuan Shao did, so he refused to send troops on the grounds that he was entangled in Qingzhou by Xu Shu's army. Yuan Shao knew that Cao Cao had ill intentions, but he didn't expect Cao Cao to leak his ugly face so quickly.

Although he saw the end of Yuan Shao's defeat, Cao Cao never imagined that more than one million Yellow Turban remnants in Wei County would actually raise 200,000 troops and send troops to Jizhou Zhao State, Julu, and Qinghe State at the same time.

"Brother Ayan, I didn't expect us to return to the same front!"

Zhang Yan chuckled and said, "Yes! After two years of acting, I still gained a lot! ”

Guan Hai nodded thoughtfully, for more than two years, Zhang Yan and Guan Hai, under Tian Feng's suggestion, raised a large army to 'requisition' each other many times, which seemed to be violent, but in fact the casualties were not too great. In addition, there are many medical craftsmen sent by the state, whether it is the Yellow Turban of Montenegro or the Yellow Turban of Qingzhou that migrated from the state, the casualties are almost negligible.

The casualties were not large, and the two sides did not have much grudge, which was also the result that Tian Feng or Xiang Ao wanted.

"I have to thank Guo Tian for his teaching!" Guan Hai, who was originally vulgar, now knows the etiquette in front of a scribe like Tian Feng. Although it looks very unnatural, Guan Hai himself is extremely addicted.

"Where, where!" Tian Fengzuo said politely: "It's just an arrangement by the lord." Besides, the two generals are smart, and Feng is just a little mentioned, and he should not be thanked. ”

The daily politeness of the scribes, whether it is hypocritical and polite, or the expression of true feelings, Zhang Yan and Guan Hai have been accustomed to it in two years, and they don't care. After the three of them met the courtesy, Zhang Yan asked Tian Feng with a straight face: "Mr. Tian came this time, presumably Zhen Guogong already has a plan. I don't know what arrangements the town has to offer? ”

Although Guan Hai and Zhang Yan agreed to surrender, they had not seen Xiang Ao after all, and the two did not plan to worship the Lord so easily, and now they still use Xiang Ao's title of honorific title.

Tian Feng nodded indifferently and said, "The two generals don't have to worry. According to the previous discussion, the soldiers and civilians under the command of the two generals can voluntarily choose whether to join the army, or whether to stay and accept the jurisdiction of our lord. ”

"It is Hu Zhao, the chief official under my lord, who is in charge of this matter, and after Yuan Shao is defeated, someone will soon come to contact the two generals. As for the positions of the two generals, the lord has made a promise to let the two generals serve as one of the Siping generals under the command of the General's Mansion, as for the final situation, it depends on the performance of the two generals on this expedition. ”

"But there is one thing that my lord asked me to tell the two generals in advance. No matter how many people in the Yellow Turban Army are willing to join the army, our lord will definitely break up and reorganize, and I ask the two generals to forgive me. ”

When Zhang Yan and Guan Hai heard this, although they looked a little worried, they also nodded approvingly. With such a large army, let alone Xiang Ao, even if someone else joined him, Zhang Yan and Guan Hai would not dare to use it wholeheartedly.

"As for the people, after naturalization and annexation of the state, Youzhou doubts about Jizhou in the future, they enjoy the same rights as the people of the former merger state that the two generals knew, and they can share the heaven and earth, and the taxes are the same."

When Zhang Yan and Guan Hai heard this, they breathed a long sigh of relief. Compared with their own future, the two are most worried about the people who were willing to follow them in the past just to make a living. Tian Feng looked at the performance of the two and nodded with satisfaction. It seems that what the lord said is true, these two are not wolf ambitions.

"Now that Yuan Shao has been defeated, what the two generals have to do is to occupy Zhao State, Qingheguo and the southern part of Julu County with the momentum of thunder."

When Zhang Yan and Guan Hai heard this, their brows furrowed slightly. With the current situation, it is easy for Zhenguo Gong to take down Yuan Shao, why should he go to such great lengths to besiege Yuan Shao in the mainland of Julu County and wait until next year to solve it.

The expressions of the two naturally did not escape Tian Feng's eyes, Tian Feng coughed lightly and continued: "The two generals don't have to be confused, my lord Zhenguo Gong is a man of temperament, and if there is kindness, he will repay it, and if he has revenge, he will repay it." ”

When Zhang Yan and the others heard this, they first suddenly realized, and then there was a chill down their backs. Xiang Ao's influence on the people of the world is that he is very benevolent to the people, and he is also a humble gentleman on weekdays. But Zhang Yan and Guan Hai didn't expect that they would just avenge their beloved, and they would ask Yuan Shao to survive this winter before relieving Yuan Shao.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a tooth for a tooth, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a retribution. Tian Feng also secretly smiled bitterly in his heart, from ancient times to the present, the eldest husband is not trapped by the love of his children, but his own father-in-law. Ay.. Wonderful, wonderful! Tian Feng couldn't find any other description, so he had to sigh like this.

"In addition to that, the two generals have a mission!"

"Oh?!" Guan Hai became excited when he heard this: "I don't know what the task of Zhen Guogong is?" ”

Seeing this, Tian Feng lightly pressed his hand, signaling Guan Hai not to be in a hurry and continued: "Yuan Shao is in a hurry, and leads Cao Cao's army into Qingzhou. And Cao Cao's recent behavior all shows Cao Cao's coveting of Qingzhou. ”

When Zhang Yan heard this, he took over and said: "Presumably, Zhenguo Gong doesn't want the efforts of the generals to let Cao Cao take advantage!" ”

"Haha..."Tian Feng laughed when he heard this: "General Zhang is really clear-minded. ”

Guan Hai scratched his head in confusion and asked curiously, "What are Mr. Tian and Brother Ayan talking about?" Don't let Cao Cao take advantage, is Zhen Guogong planning to attack Cao Cao again? Guan Hai was a little worried in his heart, in order to crusade against Yuan Shao, Xiang Ao's forces had been fighting for three years, if he didn't stop to rest and recuperate, I am afraid it would arouse public anger.

Tian Feng replied funny: "General Guan said that he was laughing. Our main forces have been fighting for three years, and whether it is a general, a soldier or a common man, he will definitely feel tired. Even if the people supported my lord, my lord would not be so reckless. ”

"Why is that?"

"Although Qingzhou is not as good as Xuzhou and Jizhou, it is much better than Youzhou and the previous mergers. Besides, Qingzhou and today's great Confucian Kong Rong are not, and the lord can't see the great Confucian suffering! Tian Feng repeated Xiang Ao's words to himself, and smiled slightly bitterly in his heart.

"Since Cao Cao wants to occupy Qingzhou, which originally belonged to Yuan Shao, it is tantamount to moving the spoils of my lord. Although my lord does not want to be an enemy of Cao Cao for the time being, he will not let Cao Cao take advantage of it in vain. Tian Feng said and said with a straight face: "My lord ordered the two generals to lead the main force out of Wei County, and before Cao Cao reacted, they occupied the part north of the Yellow River in Yanzhou East County." If it is feasible, it will not hurt to occupy the entire county of Yanzhou East County. ”

"Good!" Guan Hai shouted fiercely: "Mr. De's true biography, I haven't had time to fight yet, and this time it is not the best time to send troops to Dongjun." ”

"The last general commands!" Zhang Yan clenched her fists, and her eyes were also shining.

Zhang Yan and Guan Hai were originally expected to be generals, and in addition to humbly seeking advice from Tian Feng within three years, Tian Feng was confident that the two would be able to compete with the generals under Cao Cao. Although he is not his own disciple, after all, he has taught the two of them a lot of knowledge and the art of war, and Tian Feng is also looking forward to the performance of the two.

A few days later, the Yellow Turbans in Wei County were like crazy, no longer fighting among themselves, and frantically sent troops to invade the territories of the surrounding princes, although Yuan Shao of Jizhou was the big one. But Cao Cao's Dongjun and Xiang Ao's Hebei were not spared. Although the first to bear the brunt was Wang Kuang, who still believed that he was the Taishou of Hanoi, in the eyes of most princes, Hanoi had long been Xiang Ao's territory.

The madness of the Yellow Turban Army scared Wang Kuang and Cao Cao a lot. In particular, Wang Kuang had only 35,000 soldiers and horses under his command, occupying the area of Lin Xi and Yindang (now Linzhou City, Anyang, Henan) for a long time, and was so frightened by the nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses of the Montenegrin Army that he did not dare to show his head. As for Cao Cao, after getting the news in Qingzhou, he was even more vigilant.

not only sent Xiahou Chun, the general under his command, to the garrison of Dongjun, but also asked Chen Deng to accompany him to give advice to Xiahou Chun. Unbeknownst to Hanoi, Luan He was too guarded, and he was not idle, and allocated 5,000 of the 20,000 elites left by Xiang Ao to Chaoge to garrison, whether it was Wang Kuang or the Yellow Turban Army, Luan He did not plan to let them enter Hanoi, and the scourge of Hanoi County, which was booming.

The movement of the Yellow Turban in Weijun seems to have calculated the nerves of the Yellow Turban in Hedong. The expansion of Xiang Ao's power made the Hedong Yellow Turbans more and more uneasy, and Guo Tai, the leader of the Hedong Yellow Turbans, and his generals Yang Feng, Xu Huang and others began to quarrel. Guo Tai, Han Xian and others advocated serving Lu Bu, while Yang Feng and Xu Huang advocated serving Xiang Ao, the prince of Zhenguo.

The dispute between the two sides was deadlocked, especially Mrs. Guo, who had become more and more fond of the feeling of being the leader of the Yellow Turban for many years. Now that he learned that Yang Feng and Xu Huang had a lot of thoughts with him, he slowly began to isolate the two and empty their military power in the Baibo Army. Today's Yang Feng and Xu Huang have only hundreds of their own guards who can be dispatched at will.

As for the rest of the tens of thousands of troops, they no longer recognize the military orders of Yang Feng and Xu Huang.
