Huang Zhong fought a battle with Zhao Yun and Yan Liang and won a big victory, but his own losses were not small, and he did not dare to fight again, so he retreated to the border and wandered.

Yan Liang, Wen Chou and Gao Ran arranged at the border to prevent Huang Zhong and them from entering again.

"Hansheng, after receiving the news from the lord, they have begun to act, and our mission has been completed." Zhao Yun found Huang Zhong who was patrolling and said.

"What else does the lord command?" Huang Zhong has followed Zhang Yu for so long, knowing that Zhang Yu will definitely have other backhands.

Zhao Yun nodded and said: "The lord has two proposals, one is that we take a detour to attack the Yuan army who is fighting against Gongsun Zhan, provoke a big battle between the two sides, and then go to pick up the lord." ”

Huang Zhong nodded after listening, and then motioned to Zhao Yun to say another plan.

Zhao Yun continued: "The lord said in the letter that he doesn't know our current situation, and there is another plan that if the conditions allow, the lord will let us go to other counties to sneak attack when the conditions permit, disrupt the enemy's arrangement, and plunge Jizhou into chaos. ”

Zhao Yun continued: "The lord finally said in his heart that let's preserve our strength. ”

Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun were discussing, and after a while, Huang Zhong said: "It is most beneficial for us to detonate the battle between Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao, so that we can contain a large number of Yuan Shao's troops." ”

Zhao Yun thought for a while and said, "Okay, let's attack the Yuan army who is confronting Gongsun Zan and detonate a big battle between the two sides." ”

Huang Zhong and Zhao Yunyi combined, and the two sent a small team of hundreds of people to still roam the border, and let them appear from time to time to attract Yan Liang's attention.

And Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong quietly moved with the army, directly entered Youzhou, and then prepared to make a detour to the place where Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan were fighting.

Not to mention Zhang Yu's side, Yuan Shao, who was in Yecheng, received the news, and several "good news" kept coming.

Today it is reported that Zhang Yu and they were chased for many miles, and tomorrow it is reported that Zhang Yu and they were killed by hundreds, or one or two thousand.

The front line will always falsely report their military exploits, but Yan Liang and Wen Chou have a B number, hundreds of reports of more than 1,000, and more than 1,000 reports of more than 2,000.

It's not that they are greedy for credit, they are already the number one general under Yuan Shao, and there is no need to fight for credit.

It's just that this time they are too faceless, and they have to report some military achievements to save face.

Therefore, there is a certain amount of moisture in the good news received by Yuan Shao.

This is nothing in normal times, but at this time, it adds up to a lot, which affects Yuan Shao's judgment.

This deviation has had a great impact on Yuan Shao Group, first of all, Zhang Yu was not found.

Zhang Yu only left 5,000 people, and Yan Liang and the others didn't know Zhang Yu very well about the number of soldiers and horses, but they just had an approximation.

When Yuan Shao received the battle report, and then conducted statistical analysis, they did not find that some soldiers and horses were missing.

Yuan Shao was very happy after receiving the good news in a row, and once again got the news that Zhang Yu had killed more than 2,000 people, and Zhang Yu led people to retreat for a hundred miles, Yuan Shao was very happy, if it wasn't too late, he might have immediately called the ministers for a banquet.

Despite this, he still ordered to go down, and the next night in the state governor's mansion to feast the ministers and the great families in Jizhou.

The banquet for his subordinates is naturally to save face, and the banquet for those big families, in addition to asking them for money and food, is to make them feel at ease.

Tell them that you are the master of Jizhou and let them feel at ease.

The next day, Yuan Shao asked people to start preparations early in the morning for a banquet in the state governor's mansion.

In the evening, many of the families and his subordinates came to the governor's mansion with heavy gifts to congratulate them.

On such a festive day, at least what Yuan Shao thought, he also deliberately put on a new dress.

At the beginning of the banquet, Yuan Shao took his seat, and the main hall was lined with tables and chairs, and Yuan Shao sat alone on it.

"Haha." Yuan Shao saw this grand occasion and said very happily: "I invite you to come today to thank you for your efforts in the cause of Jizhou, and at the same time, I want to announce a good news to you." ”

Of course, everyone already knows this "good news", but they all give Yuan Shao face and let Yuan Shao perform.

Yuan Shao saluted everyone before saying: "Our army has successively reported successes on the front line, and Zhang Yu has been defeated and retreated one after another, and he will soon be driven out of Jizhou." ”

Yuan Shao had this confidence, because he used hundreds of thousands of troops to pursue Zhang Yu and them.

Everyone congratulated one after another, Yuan Shao was very happy, and drank a few glasses in a row.

"Yuan Gong." Zhen Yi got up and said: "Zhongshan Kingdom and Changshan County were invaded by Zhang Yu before, and we suffered huge losses, but now that Zhang Yu has retreated, Yuan Gong should give us some convenience." ”

"Of course, of course, your losses are also my fault, and I will naturally compensate you."

Yuan Shao promised to give these families a lot of convenience, so that they could use various methods to collect money.

They supported Yuan Shao for the sake of interests, and Yuan Shao's promise gave a lot of convenience in other aspects in addition to the promotion of their family's children.

In this way, everyone is happy, and they continue to support Yuan Shao and form a community of interests.

Everyone was also very happy and toasted to Yuan Shao again and again.

After a while, a soldier suddenly ran in and said happily: "Lord, General Yan Liang's good news." ”

"Haha, quick, quick, bring it up." Yuan Shao was slightly drunk, stood up and said happily.

The crowd looked at the soldier, expecting good news from him.

The soldier took the letter to the people around Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao took the letter and slowly opened it, and everyone looked at him.

Unfolding the letter, Yuan Shao and the two sides shone brightly, and it was difficult to hide the joy on their faces.

Everyone knew in their hearts that it must be a great joy, maybe Zhang Yu was eliminated.

Yuan Shao waved the letter in his hand and said: "Haha, great joy, great joy, our army has won a big victory on the front line, a big victory." ”

"Congratulations to my lord, our army will be invincible." Guo Tu immediately stood up and said.

The trial also hurriedly came out: "Lord, it's better to read it out, so that everyone is happy." ”

Yuan Shao was in a good mood, stood on it and said happily: "I just got the information from General Yan Liang, our army killed more than 8,000 soldiers and horses of Zhang Yu in front, and the rest of the soldiers and horses fled. ”

"Great joy."

"yes, finally got rid of this scourge."

"Our family's business in Zhongshan can be restored."

"Fortunately, most of my family is farmland, otherwise it would have been a big loss."

These families are also vying to celebrate.

No one asked how much he had lost, and in terms of intelligence, Yan Liang had also lost more than 15,000 soldiers, but it was not important to Yuan Shao at all.

Jizhou has a population, and Yuan Shao, a dead person, doesn't care.

"Come, so happy, we ought to have a drink." Yuan Shao said.

Everyone toasted and was very happy.

The atmosphere was very good, but a panicked soldier rushed in, spoiling the festive and peaceful atmosphere.

"Lord, it's not good, it's not good, Zhang Yu has killed it."
