Youzhou Jicheng, under the bitter battle of the Yuan army, finally broke through the city, and Gongsun Zhan, the mighty white horse general, finally ushered in the last time. General Baima once again showed his due light at the last moment, the battle of Jixian County, several times personally led the army to highlight the counterattack from the city, and repelled wave after wave of attacks of the Yuan army.

But the general trend has gone, unable to return to the sky, Yuan army fought for ten days, Jixian City was broken, and finally conquered Jiancheng. Gongsun Chan is not like another life, he died in a nest, and died directly in the final city battle. Swords and arrows are added, and the horse leather is shrouded.

The first battle of Jixian was the hardest battle fought by Yuan Shao in the north, Gongsun Zhan had less than 20,000 troops, and the final battle of trapped beasts caused huge casualties to Yuan's army.

Stepping into Jicheng and seeing Gongsun Zhan's body with his own eyes, Yuan Shao couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Before, he regarded Gongsun Chan as a great enemy, and he hated it very much. Now, the generation of strong marquis in northern Xinjiang has died like this, and the hatred in his heart has slowly dissipated.

"Bury Gongsun Boju's life, and don't humiliate his body!" Yuan Shao sighed and commanded.

"No!" Xu You bowed, opened his eyebrows and smiled and praised: "The lord is broad-minded, which is really admirable!" ”

Yuan Shao didn't say much when he heard Xu Yu's sycophancy, just shook his head and was silent.

Gongsun Zhan is dead, the overall situation of Youzhou has been decided, and Yuan Shao's goal of going north has basically been achieved. Under the command of Gongsun Jun, only Guan Jing fought with Gongsun Chan until the last moment and died under the random arrows. The rest of the people, Gongsun Fan, Gongsun Ji, Shan Jing and other generals, including Gongsun Zhan's son Gongsun Xu, surrendered together.

In the city, Liu Yu's state mansion and Gongsun Zhan's general's mansion are now in the hands of Yuan Shao.

In the hall, a cadre of Gongsun surrendered under the leadership of Gongsun Xu, undressed and bowed. Yuan Shao waved his hand and said quite gently: "Virtuous nephew, get up." There is a great dispute in the world, and loneliness and fatherhood are not merciful. Now that it is dead, all is in the past. You have surrendered, and you are not very much for yourself, and you will inherit the title of Bo Jue, and follow you to Yecheng, and you will be rich for a lifetime! ”

He looked at the rest of the generals again: "You are all talents, you are in your original position, cooperate with our army to accept and surrender soldiers, and you will treat them well!" ”

"Thank you Gong Yuan!" Gongsun Xu and the others breathed a sigh of relief and bowed to Yuan Shao.

"Lord, cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and the other generals will fall. This grandson continued, and the lord did not reproach him, but ordered him to attack his father. After all, he is Gongsun Zhan's own son, if he has a different heart, I am afraid that it will be a trouble! After Gongsun Xu and the others retreated, Guo Tu got up a little puzzled.

"Even Gongsun Xugu can be spared, but what about the rest of the Gongsun soldiers? How would he feel when he heard this? Yuan Shao's expression was indifferent.

"In this way, the lord will be able to quickly surrender the Youzhou army, harvest the hearts of the army, and stabilize Youyan!" Xu Yu praised.

Seeing that Xu You understood what he meant, Yuan Shao smiled a little, and then said quite magnificently: "He is a vertical son, has no talent and no virtue, is cowardly and afraid of death, it is not enough." Imprisoned in Yecheng, if you dare to have a different heart, you can get rid of it with a backhand! ”

"Compared with it, Lone is worried about Liu He, who has been in the army recently, and has been in contact with these old Liu Yu generals, restless!" Yuan Shao's voice was a little cold.

"The last general will go to take Liu He's head and dedicate it to the lord!" Wen Chou was beside him, and immediately got up and asked for his life.

Yuan Shao shook his head, in order to appease Liu Yu's old generals and subdue his army, he was still in charge of the old department and provided food, grass and ordnance. Now that Gongsun Zhan has been destroyed, Yuan Shao began to feel uneasy about these people, and Liu He "jumped up and down", and he didn't like it even more.

Observing the words, Xu Yu stroked his long beard and said with a smile: "The lord is worried, but he is just a soldier under the command of the general." As long as he dismisses his military powers, transfers them to Jizhou, and sends our Yuan army generals to join the military command, the threat can be eliminated. Without the army, Liu He jumped off the clown and couldn't set off any waves. If you dare to be unruly, you can get rid of it by looking for a team leader! ”

"What if he refuses to accept the order and gives the order alone, causing a rebellion?" Yuan Shao's eyes obviously showed approval, but he still asked.

"I'm afraid that the lord has something to worry about in his heart!" Xu You pretended to be forced and said coldly: "Since you have surrendered to the lord, you should listen to the order." If you still vainly try to sit on the army, wouldn't you have different intentions, then you can take advantage of the situation to exterminate it once and for all. Besides, this time is different from the past, Gongsun Chan has been removed, and they don't have many choices! ”

"Good!" Yuan Shao sent a table case: "Just do it, transfer Xian Yufu and others to Jizhou, and Jiang Qi and Zhang Nanjiao will take over their subordinates!" ”

took Jicheng and destroyed Gongsun Zhan, and the expressions of all the princes in the hall were a little relaxed. Yuan Shao's eyes flashed, coughed, looked around, and said: "Everyone, now that Youzhou has been decided, only the Xia army in the north is still in chaos, and has never withdrawn, and he wants to lead the army north to conquer the grassland, how about it?" ”

"My lord!" As soon as Yuan Shao's voice fell, it was Tian Feng again, and he hurriedly came out to object: "Although Youzhou is now peaceful, the counties are not stable, and it is unwise to rashly move troops!" In addition, our army came to the north, fought fiercely for several months, consumed a lot of food, grass and ordnance, the soldiers had weakened, the generals were tired, and they really could not go north to fight the Xia army. And Youzhou has been in turmoil repeatedly, and the state and county are tired, and it is urgent to stabilize Lishu and resume production. Lord, in today's situation, in Youzhou, Anding County is the first move. ”

After saying it in one breath, without waiting for Yuan Shao to respond, Tian Feng continued: "And the foundation accumulated in Jizhou over the years has also been almost consumed. Chang'an and Bingzhou also need the attention of the lord. Now that Jizhou is empty, it also needs to rest, and I also ask the lord to return to the army to get rid of the ills and support the people. After a year or two, the rule will be restored, and the troops will be mobilized at that time, no matter what direction they take, so that they can be invincible. At this time, Youzhou is on the defensive! ”

Yuan Shao's expression was a little strange, now that the army was in the north, he naturally wanted to take advantage of Liu Yuan's focus on the west, and wanted to move his Modong grassland. Seeing Tian Feng's opposition, he was naturally unhappy in his heart.

But after listening to his earnest advice, I still listened to it. Looking at his stiff neck, Yuan Shao sighed in his heart, this Tian Feng.

Seeing that Yuan Shao didn't speak, Xun Chen next to him thought that he was secretly angry, and he was a little helpless about Tian Feng's uprightness.

hurriedly said: "Lord, Yuan Hao's words are not unreasonable. There is General Koji Yi in the upper valley, and the Xia army can't make any big waves. There is General Zhang He in Dai County, who can also protect the territory and the people. At this time, as long as the invasion of the Xia army is blocked, enough time will be given to the inner border of Youzhou. If you venture north, you will give the other party a chance. In Youzhou, there are all kinds of ruins waiting to be rebuilt, and the situation in various counties is complicated, and it has not yet been completely subdued by the main public. As for Gongsun Du in Liaodong, there are also signs of moving troops to the west. There are also Wuhuan people, in the name of helping our army, they have plundered the people of Youzhou, and they still need to be solved! ”

"Wuhuan people! These hugs! At this time, Yuan Shao had already dispelled the idea of going north to the grassland, and when he mentioned the Wuhuan people, he frowned and asked: "You can't let it go unchecked, if you attack Wuhuan in the east, how can it?" ”

"Lord, instead of spending time and energy attacking Wuhuan, why don't you take it for your own use!" At this time, Xu You spoke: "We and Wuhuan have a common enemy, Xia Guo. Wouldn't it be a good thing if we could guide it to the north and join forces with our army to deal with the Xia army? ”

Seeing the thoughtfulness in Yuan Shao's eyes, Xu You continued: "That is a sudden change, and it also means that he is close to the lord. If we have the help of the Wuhuan Tu cavalry, our army will cope with the invasion of the Xia army, and the pressure will be much less. The Hu people value wealth and goods, and we can only pay some money, food, and cloth to get a helping arm. And you can get war horses from its tribes, expand the elite cavalry of our army, deal with the Xia army, and also be able to ride and control the cavalry! ”

"Huh!" Yuan Shao smiled suddenly: "It seems that the Lonely North Expedition has come to an end!" ”

When the strategists heard Yuan Shao's words, they all breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that Yuan Shao really gave up and used troops again. They were worried that Yuan Shao's brain would be hot, and he would go north to the grassland regardless of the consequences. After all, Yuan Shao's hatred for Liu Yuan and Xia Guo was too deep.

"Guo Tu!" After a moment of silence, Yuan Shao called.

"The subordinates are here! What does the lord command? ”

"You bring a heavy gift, go to Youbeiping, find Badun, and invite him to Jixian County!" Yuan Shao sighed: "It depends on whether this Badun understands the current affairs!" ”
