In March, after years of campaigning, Yuan Shao finally captured Yijing, destroyed Gongsun Zhan, and occupied Youzhou.

As early as the third year of Jian'an, Yuan Shao began to attack Gongsun Zhan.

Gongsun Zhan treats his subordinates harshly and unkindly, and those who will be surrounded by the enemy are not allowed to send troops to rescue them, thinking that they will save one person and make the queen general rescue, and they will not fight.

When Yuan Shao came to attack, Gongsun Zhan's southern garrison generals felt that they could not defend it, and either surrendered or fled, Yuan Shao advanced without a fight, and soon attacked Yijing.

Seeing that the situation was urgent, Gongsun Chan sent his son Gongsun to ask for help from the Montenegrin army. He also wanted to personally lead the army to break through and join up with the Montenegrin army to attack Yuan Shaojizhou. Its elder Shi Guan Jing believed that if he gave up Yijing, the army's morale would be weakened and it would collapse without a fight, so Gongsun Zhan decided to stick to it and wait for help.

Montenegrin handsome Zhang Yan and Gongsun Xu led 100,000 troops to rescue them in three ways.

When Gongsun Zhan heard about it, he sent someone to tell Gongsun Xu to ambush 5,000 iron horsemen in the depression in the north of the city.

Unfortunately, the letter was intercepted by Yuan Shao's soldiers, and Yuan Shao set up an ambush outside the city and set fire on the agreed date.

When Gongsun Zhan saw the fire outside the city, he thought that the rescue was coming, and personally led the army out of the city, but he was ambushed and returned defeated, so he had to defend the lonely city.

Shi Gongsun Zan built a trench in Yijing ten times, built a tall earthen platform in it, and built a wooden building on the platform, resting on the highest one among them, claiming to be foolproof.

Yuan Shao ordered the sergeant to dig the tunnel downstairs, set fire to it, and the wooden building fell into the earthen platform where Gongsun Zhan lived. Seeing that the general trend had gone, Gongsun Chan killed his wife and sisters, set himself on fire, and set himself on fire.

Yuan Shao's soldiers attacked and killed him. As a result, Gongsun Zhan, who had been in Youzhou for a while, was destroyed, and Youzhou was also occupied by Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao completely occupied the land of the four states, not only put great pressure on Cao Cao, Yang Xi also felt Alexander, but he had already prepared, and the annual conscription was one of them.

Wei Gua secretly trained troops in the Chenhe Islands, thinking that it was a military base, and there were 12,000 people so far, and Jian Xi led the assault battalion to garrison Donglai Port and the adjacent Donglai City.

Donglai City was built by Dong Maru two years ago, and now it has a population of 50,000 or 60,000 people.

Jian Xian's assault battalion, after several years of continuous increase in troops, has also increased to two battalions, 6,000 people, Jian Xian was officially appointed by Yang Xi as the commander of the assault regiment. As for You Tu, the staff officer of the former assault battalion, he was promoted to deputy commander, and Yang Xi ordered Xu Shu to go north and serve as the chief of staff of the assault regiment.

Xu Shu was the first officer to be offered the post of chief of staff.

In the south, the 6,000 recruits who guarded Xiling last year have now become veterans, with Pang Tong as the regiment commander, Lu Xun as the deputy regiment commander, Shi Tao Shi Guangyuan as the chief of staff, and Zhang Liao and Gao Shun as the battalion commanders.

Because Zhang Liao and Gao Shun were newly arriving, their qualifications and military exploits were not enough, so they could only start as a battalion commander.

In Wuchang, 3,000 recruits from last year were transferred to Cai Kao, and they were also upgraded to the regimental level, with Chen Gong as chief of staff, and Zhou Tai's Wuchang garrison of 3,000 was attributed to the Maoluan Regiment, and Zhou Tai was appointed deputy commander.

The Maoluan regiment was fully staffed and became a full-fledged regiment with three battalions.

There were 9,000 recruits this year, but Yang Xi was transferred to Zu Lang, Tai Shici and Gan Ning, who guarded Jiujiang, and they were promoted to the regimental level respectively, and the position of chief of staff was temporarily vacant.

As for Cai Kao's guard regiment, it is not good to add new manpower, because they are all veterans, which is more terrifying than trapping the camp, and it is more than enough to defend the Huai River with Liao Wei.

In April, Cao Cao led a large army into the Yellow River and sent generals Shi Jian and Cao Hong to capture Hanoi County. Cao Cao appointed Wei Chong as the Taishou of Hanoi to take control of this strategic location.

Yang Xi was thinking about whether to let the battle of Guandu happen, if he went all out to stop this battle, he might not be impossible, but he was ready to wait and see, the form was changing all the time.

Nanyang County, Zhang Xiuying.

Zhang Xiu took Yuan Shao's letter of persuasion and consulted with the generals.

"Now Yuan Shao is in four states, and he wants to raise 100,000 elite soldiers to attack Xudu, and now he writes a letter of persuasion to me, and wants me to fight with him in the north and south, I want to surrender Yuan Shao, what do you think?"

All the generals were silent, this kind of big move, where can they participate, only the strategist Jia Xu said: "The general does not have to surrender to Yuan Shao, if you want to surrender, it is better to surrender Cao." ”

Zhang Xiu said: "Why did you descend Cao? I have a grudge against Cao Cao, he deceived my aunt, and I killed his son and his general Dian Wei, how can I accept it? ”

Jia Xu said: "Yuan Shao has a large army, and now I surrender with a small number of troops, Yuan Shao will not care." And Cao Cao's army is weak and weak, and it is the time to employ people, and we will definitely be taken seriously when we surrender to Cao. Cao Cao is dedicated to the son to order the world, his name is right, and he has the ambition of the world, and he is about to show the world to virtue, and he must not count the previous grievances. ”

Zhang Xiu felt that what Jia Xu said was quite reasonable, so he hesitated and prepared to wait for the best time.

This is also an investment with people, if the investment is right, it will be prosperous, if the investment is wrong, I don't know how to die, Zhang Xiu also has to consider this problem.

Zhang Xiu is a very bad person, he is also a poor family, because his uncle Zhang Ji joined the army and performed well in the army, and later fought with his uncle and gained fame.

But Zhang Xiu's reputation is not for nothing, in fact, the relationship between Zhang Xiu and Zhao Yun is that of the same disciple and brother.

At that time, Zhang Xiu worshiped under the door of the martial arts master Tong Yuan, and Zhang Xiu was under the same Tong Yuan as Zhang Ren and Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun worshiped under the door after Tong Yuan lived in seclusion in the mountains, so that Zhang Xiu should be Zhao Yun's senior brother.

Before Zhao Yun came out, Zhang Xiu was known as the god of guns!

For such a bullish character, the investment must be at a good price, and it is a hot item.

Xiao Jia is not very famous at this time.

Jia Xu, the word and. Jia Xu was originally Dong Zhuo's general, and after Dong Zhuo's death, he proposed Li Dao and Guo Yan to counterattack Chang'an. After the failure of Li Dao and others, they became Zhang Xiu's advisers.

Zhang Xiu had used his strategy to defeat Cao Cao twice, but how did Cao Cao know that Zhang Xiu's defeat of himself was Jia Xu's ghost idea.

is the union of Zhang Xiu and Liu Biao, all of which are due to the persuasion of this Xiao Jia.

But it's this Xiao Jia, who is about to grow into Lao Jia, this is a body wisdom and energy, endless characters.

Zhang Xiu is waiting, Yang Xi is waiting, and Sun Ce is not there.

He's actively doing another thing, building a dockyard. It was built in secret.

This year, Chen Qiong and Zhou Wei's dock finally produced a ship.

Chen Qiong's business is extremely good, and Yang Xi's dockyard has also begun to sell ships to the outside world.

But whether it is Chen Qiong's dock or Yang Xi's dock, the largest ship produced must not exceed the Chenhe, and if you want to build a bigger ship, it will be a little more difficult.

Sun Ce had a problem that there was no steelmaking technology, which was not as advanced as Yang Xi's at that time, so you couldn't build a giant ship.

Cao Cao bought, Yuan Shao bought, Sun Ce bought, everyone bought, and Chen Qiong and Zhou Wei made a lot of money.

So Zhou Wei began to recruit people and was going to build up an arm.

That's right, it's called an armed team.

Just when Yang Xi thought that the general trend of the world was under control, a quiet change occurred in the world, and the change came from Wu County. Sun Ce was finally unwilling to be trapped in the land of projectiles, and discussed the conspiracy with Zhou Yu and others.
