Just when Liu Bei was in full swing preparing for the Northern Expedition, something also happened in the distant Youzhou.

Cao Zhang's inferior horse has been running around for a few months, and Cao Zhang himself is penniless and can't raise it well, and now he is getting thinner and thinner. Now he has just come out of Bingzhou, and his face is full of unwillingness, or disdain.

"Okay, you Liang Xi, you don't listen to you when you talk to you, you have to wait for me to be rude, right?" Cao Zhang remembered Liang Xi's arrogant attitude towards him before, and he didn't get angry, "If it weren't for the fact that Kebineng guy had to ask you to hand over the state in a friendly manner, I wouldn't be too lazy to accept your wretchedness!" ”

Cao Zhang had taken Kebineng twice before, hoping that he could borrow troops to attack Jizhou, but Kebineng was willing to send troops only if he used the annexation of the state as collateral. In order to get the aid of soldiers and horses, Cao Zhang could only endure it, but how did he know that Kebi could ask him to lobby Liang Xi himself and let him hand over the state!

You asked me Cao Zhang to lobby? Brain w?

There are only 8,000 soldiers and horses in the state, and there are more than 10,000 reserve soldiers and horses. However, Kebineng said that Liang Xi was kind to the Xianbei tribe, so he hoped to get a peaceful annex to the state, and he was not willing to make a big move.

"Damn, if Lao Tzu can persuade Liang Xi to hand over the state, why bother to ask you for help?"

Cao Zhang's head finally had a light, but it didn't help; I went back to find Kebineng empty-handed, but I was afraid that I would suffer from a stomach again!

"If it wasn't for a moment of brain fever, how could he attack his own city! If not...... Then Jingzhou is already mine! ”

Thinking of his lost military power, Cao Zhang was very annoyed, but he could only drag his tired steps towards Youzhou; He had almost nowhere to go except for Kebinen.

The cold wind blew mercilessly, and the bad horse finally couldn't bear Cao Zhang's weight and collapsed to the ground tiredly; Cao Zhang scolded secretly and took out the knife from his waist, which resulted in its life, and he made a fire to cook, after all, the horse was not full, and he was not full.

The staple food is naturally horse meat, and then find a rotten boiler rack from the dilapidated house on the side, find some wild vegetables and cook them to satisfy your hunger. He looked at the human bones that fell to the ground again, and shook his head helplessly, human bones can't be eaten.

"The white bones are exposed in the wilderness, and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles; The people are left behind, and the thought breaks people's intestines! …… The thought breaks people's intestines! ”

Cao Zhang carried Cao Cao's Artemisia on his back, and his favorite was this sentence, but he also felt the most painful...... While eating, I looked at this barren northern land, there were still many families when I fought with Cao Cao, why is it deserted now?

One in a hundred!

"Where Hu Lu passes, not a single inch of grass grows ......"

Cao Zhang muttered while muttering, he was not stupid, but his thoughts were just a tendon, and he didn't think that if the state fell into the hands of Xianbei again, it would end like this.

After eating a full meal, Cao Zhang ignored the horse bone and continued to walk northeast alone—the cold wind in the north would bury it.

Three days later, Cao Zhang went through many difficulties and dangers, and finally arrived in Jixian County, the capital of Youzhou; Jixian County is not as prosperous as it used to be, even if it is in the hands of Gongsun Zhan, it is far better than this. Since Xianbei entered the country, the situation in this Youzhou has deteriorated, and there is not a single Han person within a hundred miles, as if they have been slaughtered cleanly, or raised in the army as coolies and "two-legged sheep".

"After the fall of Youzhou, my father often said that Gongsun Chan was a hero...... I can see why today! ”

At the time of the Yellow Turban Uprising, there were two main princes in Youzhou, one was Gongsun Zan and the other was Liu Yu; Liu Yu was Gongsun Zhan's immediate boss and advocated peaceful coexistence with Xianbei, while Gongsun Zhan advocated killing Xianbei. After the two fought, it was naturally Gongsun Chan who won the victory, and Liu Yu was brutally killed by Gongsun Chan.

After Liu Yu's death, many Xianbei tribes raised troops to avenge him and defeated Gongsun Zhan; But since then, Gongsun Zhan has held the power of Youzhou and killed Xianbei so much that he did not dare to look down on the Central Plains. At that time, people only thought that Gongsun Chan was brutal, but look at the current situation in Youzhou...... Gongsun Chan is completely a hero who resists foreign invaders.

When Gongsun Chan is here, how can he allow these Xiaoxiao to be presumptuous in my Han territory?

But now I have to ask them...... It's ridiculous!

Cao Zhang gritted his teeth fiercely, thinking that after using Xianbei, he must expel them from the Central Plains Territory! I have thirteen states in China, and I can't miss a piece of hair!

The soldiers guarding the city knew Cao Zhang, and let him into the city without informing him, but looked at his tattered clothes and tired body, and laughed softly.

Jixian is very quiet, and you can even hear the sound of falling leaves when you walk on the road; There were only a few pedestrians scattered in the city, and they didn't even dare to communicate more and left quickly, for fear that the Xianbei soldiers would catch something bad and be hacked to death.

"Why are you so arrogant when my big country treats foreign tribes so favorably!"

Cao Zhang's heart was extremely angry, every time the Central Plains treated foreigners well, the foreigners would grab more benefits, and after a few years, they would tear up the covenant and come to the Central Plains for trouble; He was extremely disgusted with this, but he didn't expect that even his father Cao Cao would do the same, which made him angry!

To deal with this kind of foreigner, you can only fight! Only when they are frightened and instigated can the Central Plains usher in real peace!

Cao Zhang naturally got an audience with Kebineng, who saw that he was single-handed, and his body was still full of scars, so he knew that Cao Zhang not only failed, but also fled back in embarrassment, maybe he also met Zhang Liao's pursuers......

These are naturally Kebineng's blind thoughts, and he is still quite polite to arrange a table banquet for Cao Zhang; Cao Zhang's eating is quite extravagant, which is why Kebineng chose to help him, such a vulgar way of eating is very similar to their Xianbei people.

"Your Excellency hasn't done anything about the annexation of the state, I'm afraid that I can't do anything about sending troops......" Kebineng said in a humble voice.

Cao Zhang didn't understand what he said, and still ate very comfortably, until the Han translator around Kebineng trembled and translated a wave for Cao Zhang, Cao Zhang suddenly realized, and then took the case, shouting: "Kebineng, my Han Court treats you well, even when the first king was there, he never treated you badly!" Now I just ask for a soldier and a horse, but you are pushing back, what is the reason? ”

After listening to the translator, Kebineng smiled and said: "I never said before that I would use the merger as collateral, it was completely proposed by yourself, and I am just a favor, you cover me with this pot unreasonable!" ”

Cao Zhang was stunned, listening to Kebi Neng, it seems that this is really the case, what did his pig head think at the beginning?

Seeing that he didn't speak, Kebineng continued: "Now that the state has nothing to do with me, then Your Excellency will please go back!" If you insist on staying here, you will have to pay for the accommodation. Unless ......"

"Unless?"

"Unless you can give me a condition equivalent to the annexation state, I am willing to send troops!"

Cao Zhang was instantly stunned when he heard this condition, what else could this be the same condition as the merger of states? Could it be Jizhou? But this Jizhou is what I want, where do you want me to live?

"It doesn't have to be a territory...... "Kebineng said sideways, "I've already plundered this Youzhou, and there are not many Han people left, so I can't satisfy my ...... anymore."

Cao Zhang instantly understood what he meant, this bastard wanted to allow him to plunder the land of Jizhou after he took Jizhou by himself!

If it was usual, Cao Zhang would naturally not agree, but now that everyone is shouting and beating like a rat crossing the street, he has no way out......

Hehe, I remember that Wang Jingwei was also a student of the Patriotic Movement, but in the end? Don't you still make a big deal of it for the perpetrators of the crime? You say he's bitter, but the end result is disgusting! Betraying the country for the sake of personal reputation, I thought of a good rhetoric!

Cao Zhangyi gritted his teeth and said angrily: "I will promise you, after taking Jizhou, I will allow you Xianbei people to be captive in Jizhou for three days!" ”

"Ten days ......" Kebineng shook his finger, "How can three days be worth a state?" ”

Now the situation has been rejected by Cao Zhang......

It's just that I don't know if you can be like Zhang Zuolin, after using the Japanese, can you still kill the Japanese?

In that case...... I'm afraid your ending is like Huanggutun, it's not much better.
