As soon as he saw the envoy of the mysterious party, a staff member next to Zhang Liao who had learned from the concept of self-religion immediately knelt down and bowed, and said, "The villain greets the second son." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

I saw the other party smile and said, "You know me." ”

"Don't hide the second son, I am a native of Yizhou, and I have been included in learning my teaching concept since I was a child, and I have seen the second son with the lord. There is also General Zhang Liao, the lord's favorite general. The staff explained to the mysterious messenger while introducing Zhang Liao and the others.

Of course, as soon as he opened his mouth like this, Zhang Liao and the others knew the identity of the other party, Liu Mao, the second brother of the lord Liu Xuewu.

So several people present hurriedly bowed down, and everyone led by Zhang Liao shouted: "I don't know if the second son has arrived, how much neglect there is, please don't be surprised." ”

"Haha, I have a deep brotherly relationship with Xuewu, and you are a close confidant of Xuewu, so what's the wonder." Liu Mao said with a smile.

"Okay, hurry up and get down to business, Yuan Shao was attacked by me not long ago and took away Wei County, and now when I hear it, it is estimated that nine times out of ten I am withdrawing my troops. However, my intention is to take advantage of the victory to pursue, you and I both flank and drag Yuan Shao along the road, plus my lady led the troops from the south of Wei County to attack the Hanhai between the rivers. I am going to make Yuan Benchu a lost dog, I don't know what you think? ”

"Dare not to serve your life, but after the battle is decided, how will Jizhou be divided?" Zhang Liao said.

Liu Mao said playfully: "I am my brother, how about getting half a point from Jizhou." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Liao couldn't help but calculate secretly, and hurriedly said with a smile: "The second prince will plan a battle strategy with us first, and wait for us to send someone to report to the lord. ”

When Liu Mao heard Zhang Liao's words, he shook his head but said approvingly: "The third brother can be described as vicious, and there is no doubt about employing people, General Zhang is really a good general!" Fortunately, before coming here, I sent someone to learn from me, and the reply must be coming soon. ”

Just when the two sides were chatting about the battle situation and playing Tai Chi, Liu Xuewu's order came down, and Zhang Liao couldn't help frowning after looking at Liu Xuewu's handwritten letter. But looking up at Liu Mao's confident appearance, he couldn't help but sigh and said: "The second prince and the lord are really in love, we cross the belly of the gentleman with the heart of a villain, it really shouldn't be, the lord ordered us to fully assist the second son to defeat Yuan Shao, and then leave the complete Jizhou to the second son as the foundation." ”

And Liu Mao, who heard this, was quite surprised, in his mind, with his old face, he would exchange for half of Jizhou at most, but he didn't expect Liu Xuewu to directly give away the entire Jizhou. This made Liu Mao full of emotion, and he was full of affection for this third brother who he hadn't seen for many years, and the original jealousy gradually disappeared.

He didn't know that Liu Xuewu was very helpless, it was really Xu Huang and Duan Fei who fought too badly, and when he was helpless, he learned that Liu Mao wanted to negotiate with him for half of Jizhou, which happened to recycle his troops in Jizhou. As the so-called fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders, who is Jizhou to give it is not a gift, but also his second brother, now that his father is still alive, he is not afraid that the second brother will turn his face and not recognize people. Liu Xuewu, who was calculating, happened to get off the donkey down the slope and raised military horses to prepare for the personal expedition to Liangzhou.

It is said that Yuan Shao of Jizhou led 30,000 soldiers to withdraw from the frontal battlefield overnight, and hurriedly prepared to return to the division of Hejian Hanhai, because after Wei County was lost, the other party did not stop there. Instead, he continued to attack Hejian, which was adjacent to Wei County, and the eldest son who stayed behind in Hejian had to constantly complain to himself for the past two days. Yuan Shao also knew that if he lost Hejian, the other party's target would definitely continue to attack Hanhai, and if Hanhai was lost again, Yuan Shao would become a lost dog with no way out.

But was the retreat so smooth? Absolutely not, Zhang Liao's department had more than 10,000 cavalry, and pursued from the rear. However, Liu Mao, who had a plan and premeditated it, had already set up ambushes and traps in Yuan Shao's retreat route.

And let's not talk about it here, let's just say that in order to attack Yuan Shao's lair, the Feiyan army cooperated with her husband and Liu Xuewu's army to eliminate Yuan Shao. Zhang Feiyan, who was nursing the child at home, sent someone to send an invitation to her two righteous brothers, Zhang Yan and Zhang Niujiao, explaining that she and her husband wanted to take advantage of the emptiness of Yuan Benchu's rear to seize the three counties of Jizhou as a foundation, and invited the two righteous brothers to send troops to help.

After Zhang Yan and Zhang Niujiao saw the invitation letter, they were overjoyed, and said that their sister and brother-in-law had a good thing and did not forget their brother, so they hurriedly sent troops to come.

Zhang Yan coveted the richness of Hanhai, and immediately led 100,000 Black Mountain thieves to kill Hanhai. As the boss, Zhang Niujiao was much more low-key, and ordered his general Yang Huan to select 50,000 sturdy Yellow Turban Armorers to attack the river.

At this time, it was Yuan Benchu's eldest son Yuan Tan who guarded the river, and the second son and the third son Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang who guarded Hanhai. The second son and the third son stayed in Hanhai, and Hanhai, as the place where Yuan Benchu's nest rose, left more than 30,000 military horses. Most of the military generals were Yuan Shao

took away, so when facing Zhang Yan's 100,000 black mountain thieves, he looked vulnerable. Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang have been coquettish since childhood, unlike Yuan Tan who followed Yuan Shao all the way to the south and the north, and immediately panicked when they encountered something. Especially when they saw the black and linen army of 100,000 besieging the city, the only thought of the two brothers at that time was to flee for their lives, and under the desperate defense of all the soldiers and soldiers, they took advantage of the darkness to fight their way out of the siege, and Hanhai fell less than three days after Zhang Yan's attack. Pity the 30,000 elite soldiers who stayed behind,

Those who did not surrender were all killed by Zhang Yan, and the Montenegrin army entered the city to burn and loot, and the people were miserable. Fortunately, Zhang Yan knew that Hanhai would be his own in the future, so he ordered the Black Mountain thieves to accept it when they saw it, but it also made Hanhai County mourn everywhere.

As soon as Hanhai broke, the news came, which made Zhang Niujiao's subordinate Yang Huan even more anxious. made the Yellow Turban Army besieging the city more violent, and Yuan Tan in the city learned that his two younger brothers had lost Hanhai County, but he gloated and let his henchmen defend the city and go to sleep by himself. At this time, he didn't know that after his younger brother was defeated and fled, Zhang Niujiao saw that Zhang Yan had taken Hanhai, but his subordinates had not taken Hejian for a long time, and his face was suddenly dark and ugly, and he felt that he was compared to Zhang Yan. The so-called people fight for a breath, and the Buddha fights for a breath of incense, and hurriedly ordered another 50,000 troops, and he personally led the team

Go straight to the river.

And Yuan Shao, who was far away on the way back, was constantly attacked along the way, with various traps along the way, and Zhang Liao's cavalry pursued behind, resulting in a slow journey and exhaustion of the soldiers.

"Lord, I really can't stand this rotten nest, the last general asks for his life, and leads his troops to reflexively kill back, otherwise if it goes on like this, the soldiers may run away without a fight." On the side, Yan Liang couldn't help but say to Yuan Shao.

"The lord must not, now the Hanhai River is in danger, once our army fails to return, it is estimated that the two counties will not be able to protect." Tian Feng hurriedly persuaded him.

Wen Chou on the side also spoke: "Yes, my lord, the current urgency is urgent, and it is urgent to return, but now our army can't go on like this, otherwise even if it reaches the Hanhai between the rivers, it is estimated that it will not be able to fight again." The last general asked for orders to leave 3,000 cavalry for the lord to judge, and when the lord returned safely, I will follow. ”

Just when Yuan Shao and the others were hesitating, they came from the front to report that Hanhai had been broken by Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Bandit Army, and the two sons did not know what to do. Hearing the news, Yuan Shao spit out a mouthful of old blood, but he still muttered, "Immediately the whole army rushed to the river to rescue." With that, he fainted.

By the time Yuan Shao woke up, it was already two days later, and he learned that Wen Chou led 3,000 troops to block Zhang Liao's cavalry, and he and others were rushing to the river, and they were two days away from the river. Everyone was a little relaxed, and when they were discussing how to surprise from behind Zhang Niu's horns in the camp, they encountered a team of men and horses in front. Yuan Shao hurriedly took someone to see it in person,

But I saw a team of hundreds of riders, all ragged and bloodstained, the person at the head was very familiar, and when I looked closely, it turned out to be his eldest son Yuan Tan.

As soon as he saw Yuan Tan like this, he immediately thought of Hejian, and a mouthful of blood spurted out of Yuan Shao's mouth, regardless of everyone's support, and asked in a trembling voice: "You are waiting here, what about Hejian?" ”

I saw Yuan Tan kneeling straight in front of Yuan Shao, "My son is incompetent." ”

This time, Yuan Shao did not faint, but felt desperate that he had never felt before.
