Zhang He led the arrival of the army, causing a lot of turmoil in the Bohai Sea, the news that Yecheng fell into the hands of Lu Bu has already spread to the Bohai Sea, as Yuan Shao's birthplace, the county of Bohai Nanpi can be called the city high and the pool is deep, but the Bohai Sea is weaker than the river, Qinghe and other places.

After seeing the merge state army outside the city, Zhu Ling's mood could not be calm, the reason why he has today's achievements is because of Yuan Shao's promotion, if there is no Yuan Shao, there will be no Zhu Ling today, for Yuan Shao, Zhu Ling is grateful.

However, Zhu Ling is also very clear about the current situation in Bohai, there are only more than 3,000 soldiers in the city who can fight, and it is more than enough to defend the city in previous wars, but they are facing the state army.

Yecheng had nearly 50,000 Jizhou troops, but it was broken by Lu Bu, not to mention the Bohai Sea.

Zhang He led the army to Nanpi and immediately ordered the soldiers to set up camp outside the city.

"General Li, Zhu Ling in the city has some friendship with General Ben, if General Ben goes to the city, if he can persuade Zhu Ling to surrender, he doesn't need to spend a single soldier." Zhang He said.

Li Yan frowned slightly: "The general is the chief general of the army, and he goes to the city alone, if there is a mistake, it will have a great impact on the morale of the army, and he is not weak and secretly sends people to the city to persuade Zhu Ling." ”

Zhang He said with a smile: "General Li doesn't need to worry, Zhu Ling's character still knows a thing or two, even if Zhu Ling doesn't plan to surrender, he won't embarrass General Ben." ”

Li Yan saw Zhang He say this, he could only nod his head and agree, he understood Zhang He's mood of wanting to make achievements on the battlefield, as long as he was a general who sincerely took refuge, after learning about the system in the army, he would be anxious.

The state army chose to set up camp ten miles away from the Bohai Sea, and there was still a city gate in the Bohai Sea that was open, but the inventory was stricter than before.

That night, Zhang He came to the city, and Zhang He still knew Zhu Ling's residence in the city.

Zhu Ling had just returned from the army to the palace, and he got the news that a guest had come, which made Zhu Ling a little surprised, and now he knew the situation in the city, how could there be a guest coming to Bohai at this time.

"Let the guests wait, General Ben will be there later." Zhu Lingdao.

After Zhu Ling changed his clothes, he saw a familiar figure in the hall, but this person was wrapped more tightly, and he couldn't be sure.

"Dare to ask Your Excellency?" Zhu Ling asked.

Zhang He said with a smile: "I haven't seen him for many years, and General Zhu is still so radiant. ”

Hearing Zhang He's voice, Zhu Ling's face changed slightly, the news that the commander of the Bingzhou army outside the city is Zhang He is no secret in the city, Zhang He can be said to be one of the most unpopular people in Nanpi City, it is precisely because of Zhang He's betrayal that Jizhou has fallen into the current situation.

Zhu Ling carefully inspected the maid in the retreat hall, and asked in a low voice: "Why did you go to the city at such a time, now that you and I are enemies, aren't you afraid that the general will leave you in the city?" ”

Zhang He said with a smile: "What kind of person is Wenbo, this general still knows a thing or two about himself, could it be that Wenbo thinks that with the Bohai Sea at this time, he can block the army of the state?" ”

Zhu Ling was silent when he heard this, in the Jizhou army, Zhu Ling was not ambitious, in terms of ability, Zhu Ling was not weak compared to Gao Lan, but he was not appreciated by Yuan Shao, although he was appointed as the captain of Nanpi, his voice in the army was far less than that of Zhang Yu, the Taishou of Bohai.

Usually, Zhang Yu has a lot of precautions against Zhu Ling.

"Jun Yi, now you and I are hostile, this matter can be regarded as if it has never happened, Jun Yi should go back." Zhu Lingdao.

Zhang He got up and said: "Could it be that Wenbo is willing to go down like this in Jizhou, Yuan Shaofei is a virtuous lord, nepotism, Wenbo's ability is understood by this general, if he can take refuge in the Marquis of Jin, he will definitely be able to become famous in the world." Speaking of this, Zhang He's tone was a little excited.

Zhu Ling sighed: "It's not that General Ben is unwilling to take refuge in the Marquis of Jin, but that the affairs in the city are not up to the table. ”

For Zhang He's rhetoric, Zhu Ling can naturally judge it, not to mention that the friendship between the two in the Jizhou army is not weak, it can be said that they sympathize with each other, Zhang He became one of the four court pillars of Hebei because of Xu You, and has a pivotal position in the Jizhou army, but Zhu Ling can only guard the Bohai Sea.

"As the Marquis of Jin said, the eldest husband should carry a three-foot sword and make immortal achievements, if he is so indecisive, how can he achieve great things." Zhang He's voice suddenly raised a little.

Zhang He's words made Zhu Ling's heart move, and after a long silence, Zhu Ling made up his mind that it was better to fight than to go down like this in Bohai.

"Okay, I'll do my best in this matter, if it can't be done, I hope it's not strange." Zhu Ling gritted his teeth and said.

Zhang He said: "If Zhang Yu dares to embarrass Wenbo, after the general breaks through Nanpi, he will definitely avenge Wenbo." ”

Although Zhu Ling's performance in Nanpi over the years is very low-key, there are still generals who are close to him in the army, Zhu Ling's ability itself is not weak, coupled with a strong martial arts, he is a rare general, and the generals in the army are more often admired by people with skills.

In the past few days, although Zhu Ling has behaved relatively normally, he is secretly contacting trustworthy generals.

Five days later, Zhu Ling led hundreds of soldiers to surround the Taishou Mansion and capture Zhang Yu and other officials in Nanpi, and the defenders in the city saw this situation and directly chose to open the city gate to welcome the Bingzhou army into the city, although there were generals who did not support Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu scolded more than once, and killed Zhang Jaw in public after entering the city.

After occupying Nanpi, the soldiers and horses of other counties in the Bohai Sea asked for surrender one after another, so Zhang Jaw captured the Bohai Sea without spending a single soldier.

Le Cheng is the seat of governance in the river, but Huang Zhong encountered a lot of trouble in Le Cheng, Le Cheng has more than 5,000 troops at this time, and the number of soldiers is not weaker than the soldiers under Huang Zhong's command.

After observing Le Cheng from afar, Huang Zhong frowned, Hejian is an important place in Jizhou, the height of the city has reached four zhang, and the moat is wide, it is very difficult to snatch Le Cheng from Gao Ran's hands with only 5,000 soldiers and horses.

In the face of the enemy's provocation, Lecheng always hung up the war-free card and ignored it.

Zhang Yan said: "General, Lecheng's defenders are closed, and our army only has 5,000 people, but it is a little difficult to break through Lecheng." ”

Huang Zhong nodded, originally thought that under the power of the Bingzhou army to break through Yecheng, it would be a relatively simple matter to capture Lecheng, after all, Gao Ran had suffered a big defeat when he led the troops to aid Yecheng before, and he must have a deep understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Bingzhou army.
