Chapter 229: Provocation

Yuan Shu asked, "What's wrong with Yangcheng?" ā€

The messenger reported: "Yuan Shao's general Zhou Ang has made a comeback and stormed Yangcheng, and Lord Yuzhou Musun Ben is difficult to resist and asks for support!" ā€

Yuan Shu was very distressed, "Liu Biao is restless, my troops are guarding against Liu Biao, where are there any soldiers to support Yangcheng!" ā€

Xu Yu said: "I heard that Gongsun Yue's department is in Dongjun, and the closest to Yangcheng should be him, I don't know if it's feasible or not!" ā€

Yuan Shu's eyes lit up, "Yes, Gongsun Yue is no longer in Dongjun, but in Yuzhou, which is just right to solve the urgent need!" Someone came, quickly went to find Gongsun Yue and rescued Yangcheng. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½ā€

The messenger rushed away, and Yuan Shu breathed a sigh of relief, and said resentfully: "Yuan Benchu disregarded morality and plotted against the allies, which really disgraced the Yuan family!" ā€

Xu You said: "Yuan Shao is a concubine, how can he be compared with you, the general?" He planned to abolish the establishment, and vainly tried to occupy Jizhou and Yuzhou, he must have wanted to overpower you, the general! ā€

"What do you mean?"

"You think, everyone in the world knows that you are the son of the Yuan family, and the mantle of the Yuan family will not be inherited by the general in the future, Yuan Shao wants to overshadow you and prove that the concubine is more capable than your heir."

"Humph! Just him? Yuan Shu snorted coldly and stopped talking.

Xu You was about to say goodbye when he saw that his goal had been achieved, Yuan Shu said: "I heard that General Right also opposes Yuan Shao's plot to abolish and occupy Jizhou, can there be such a thing?" ā€

"My lord can't bear to see the ministers of the Han Dynasty killing each other, so he decided to mediate, but Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao are both soldiers and have enough food, and my lord is powerless, so he sent me here to borrow grain!"

"General Right and General Ben are people in the same way, since they should help each other, you go to report to General Right quickly, I will give 50,000 stone of grain to fund the military, just want you to transport it yourself."

Xu You bowed and said, "On behalf of General You, I thanked General Yuan for his great kindness!" ā€

"After all, Yuan Shao and I are the same sect, so it is inconvenient for me to come forward to teach him a lesson, and I ask General Right to punish him!"

"That's nature! The wrongdoers should be punished! Retire under the next! ā€

Zhou Ang waved an army of 20,000 to attack, Sun Ben only had less than 10,000 soldiers and horses, it was difficult to compete with it, so he had to ask for help everywhere, Gongsun Yue got Yuan Shu's instructions, and then waved his army west, chasing Zhou Angjun's belly and back to kill the past.

Zhou Ang's morale was like a rainbow, and he was about to break through Yangcheng, but when he saw that the rear was in chaos, Zhou Ang was experienced in the battle, so he hurriedly abandoned Yangcheng and returned to the army to save him.

Gongsun Yue's troops were slightly less than Zhou Angjun's, but he did not flinch and fought with Zhou Angjun. After a rush, both were defeated, Gongsun Yue did not dare to hold it up, and seeing that the expected goal was achieved, he hurriedly led the army to retreat eastward.

Zhou Ang did not stop, beat the drum and marched, and the dense arrows shot towards Gongsun Yue's array, Gongsun Yue was not careful, he was shot by the arrows, and fell off the horse, and the soldiers robbed Gongsun Yue's body, ran wild day and night, and were driven back to Yanzhou by Zhou Ang's army like a duck!

Jiang Shengbu will lead the army to cross the river west according to the plan, preparing to go to Yecheng, but found that Yuan Shaojun has already gone to Yecheng, and now it is impossible to enter Yecheng to defend, so Yu Ban immediately made a decision, waved his army to the northeast, and went straight to Bohai County. All counties along the way were appointed by Yuan Shao as county officials, and Yu Ban suddenly killed them, expelled all the officials appointed by Yuan Shao, and then went straight to Nanpi, the Bohai County Governor's Office.

Those expelled officials reported the news to Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao was shocked, Jiang Sheng's dispatch speed was also very fast, and the territory that Yuan Shao had tried his best to capture was all cleaned up by the forbidden autumn wind and swept away the leaves, the key was to go straight to his base camp.

Yuan Shao was so angry that he had to retreat to the rescue, but he only picked up the mess that Yu Ban had swept back, but he didn't see the shadow of Yu Ban's army.

Yu Ban's calculation to save Zhao Zhi from Wei worked, and then he bypassed Yuan Shao's army from Hejian and went to Yecheng in the starry night.

Yuan Shao couldn't catch up with the forbidden army, so he wanted to use his way, he ordered Yan Liang to lead his army across Leling County in Pingyuan County, and tried to cross the river to attack Tatecheng in the northeast of Le'an.

Yan Liang led the army to cross the boat, and when he reached the middle of the river, he saw smoke and dust billowing on the opposite side, and it turned out that Zhang He led the army to patrol on the other side of the river.

Yan Liang was shocked, and hurriedly signaled to turn around and retreat, how could Zhang He give him a chance, the bed crossbow and catapult that had been arranged were instantly active, and the dense arrows mixed with stone bullets poured down, most of the wooden boats that Yan Liangbu was riding were smashed, and the soldiers who escaped by luck were shot by crossbow arrows.

Yan Liang was miserable, and finally got out of the range of Zhang He's army, so he gathered his troops and horses, retreated, and found that 10,000 soldiers and horses had lost more than 6,000 people, and he was no longer able to attack, so he had to lead the army to retreat, but he met Zhang Fei's department.

Liu Bei served as the minister of the plains at this time, and this Leling was under the jurisdiction of the plains country, and Yan Liang's troops did not know Liu Bei this time, so Zhang Fei directly sent troops to surround him.

Yuan Shao heard such news, and hurriedly sent someone to ask to see Liu Bei, and Liu Bei then ordered Zhang Fei to let Yan Liangbu go.

Gongsun Zan originally planned to invade the two counties of Hejian and Zhongshan in Jizhou, but the army had arrived in Panhe, and when he heard that Gongsun Yue died at the hands of Yuan Shao's generals, he was furious and blamed Yuan Shao for everything, so he waved his army into Kou Bohai County to avenge Gongsun Yue.

Yuan Shao was surprised when he heard that Gongsun Zhan had waved his army to avenge Gongsun Yue's revenge, and hurriedly asked about countermeasures.

Feng Ji said: "There is Jiang Sheng in the south, Gongsun in the north, the first thing the lord does is to defend, if he loses the fundamentals, then everything is impossible." ā€

Yuan Shao said: "But Jizhou is probably obtained by Gongsun Zhan!" ā€

Guo Tu said: "Han Fu is still guarding Jizhou, and the lord can still take it back after a period of time, but if he loses the Bohai Sea, I am afraid he will not be able to make another attempt." ā€

The ministers also persuaded hard, so Yuan Shao gathered the troops that attacked all over Jizhou and returned to defend Bohai County. Yan Liang led the army to be stationed in Chonghe County to guard against Liu Bei and Jiang Sheng; Wen Chou, Chun Yuqiong, Gao Gan and others led the army to garrison Zhangwu County to resist Gongsun Zhan.

Gongsun Fan, Tian Kai and others suppressed thieves in Qingzhou, but were dragged by the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, and they were unable to look north.

At the beginning, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban soldiers went north, trying to join the resurgent Black Mountain Army, Gongsun Chan led 30,000 iron cavalry to the south to suppress the thieves, Yuan Shao and Jiang Sheng both wanted to preserve their strength, so they did not accept Gongsun Zhan's proposal to jointly send troops, but they could borrow the road to Gongsun Zhan, so Gongsun Fan, Tian Kai, Yan Gang and others were able to wave their troops into Qingzhou, but they were dragged by the Qingzhou Yellow Turban.

Now Gongsun Chan wanted to let Qingzhou's army go north to attack Yuan Shao, but the situation forced him to achieve this goal, and Liu Bei concentrated on defending the plain, and did not dare to send troops.

According to historical records, when Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao broke up, Han Fu had already surrendered Jizhou, and Yuan Shao let Gongsun Fan serve as the Taishou of Bohai to appease Gongsun Zhan, but Gongsun Fan waved his army to attack Yuan Shao after taking over Bohai.

And now because of Jiang Sheng's intervention, Yuan Shao has not been able to take Jizhou, but has fought with Gongsun Zhan.
