Tian Jing went north for only two days and met Wang Dang and Sun Qing's brigade, and also met Li Dang and Leping, who were a little sad in their hearts. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe two of them saw Tian Jing and told him about the situation in the past few days. Then he looked at the more than 100 reserve white horse servants who followed behind him, with a bitter face. Tian Jing knew that it was not easy for them, so he didn't blame them, but Li Dare spoke first, "Second brother, we took more than 500 Baima Yicong away, and now we only bring back 100 people, we are ashamed, we are sorry for the dead brothers." ”

Tian Jing patted them on the shoulder, "When we went south to Xuzhou to support Tao Qian, there were two thousand reserve white horse followers, and after two years of fighting, I only survived with six hundred people. Although you have suffered a great defeat now, you have also encountered an enemy that has never been stronger. Moreover, the command is in the hands of Gongsun Xu, what's the use of me blaming you? As long as you can come back alive, I will be very happy, otherwise I will regret letting you support Youzhou with Gongsun in the early stage. ”

Leping said: "Second brother, the two of us have tried to persuade the eldest brother to go to Hedong with us, but he insisted on refusing. But he went to the grassland with the Wuhuan people. ”

Tian Jing understands Gongsun Xu's character, and knows that he is unwilling to be subordinate to himself, and he is not willing to say anything, but he just said, "The eldest brother is right to have his considerations, after all, he can collect the old department in Youzhou, and if Yuan Shao can't control Youzhou in the future, the Gongsun clan will have a chance to regain the foundation." It's okay if he hibernates in the grassland for a while, but our connection with the eldest brother is indispensable. ”

Tian Jing turned around and said to Hu Cai, who had arrived in Youzhou two days earlier than him, "Master Hu, I will hand over the important task of liaising with the Nanlilou tribe in the future." ”

Hu Cai hurriedly said, "Don't worry, general, I will arrange for my cronies to do this, and I will definitely not miss the general's major event." Hu Cai saw that there was no one beside him, only Tian Jing and his two sworn brothers, so he whispered again, "Taking advantage of the current chaos in Youzhou and Yuan Shao's incomplete subduit, the matter of arranging more of our eyeliner everywhere has also begun." In this way, there will be people we have planted in advance in all counties and counties of Youzhou, on the one hand, it is convenient to grasp the movements of Youzhou, and on the other hand, if the general intends to recapture Youzhou in the future, these people are our help. ”

"Why do you think I'm going to send troops to Youzhou?" Tian Jing asked deliberately.

Hu Cai smiled, "The general has great ambitions, otherwise I would dare to entrust the lives of tens of thousands of brothers in the sect to the general." ”

Tian Jing was noncommittal to Hu Cai's words, but just asked, "By the way, let you inquire about the situation of the generals in the Youzhou army." ”

Hu Cai glanced at Li Kang and Le Ping and stopped talking. Tian Jing said, "You have to know sooner or later what you should know, so let's say it." ”

Hu Cai then said, "According to the news we heard, Gongsun Zan fell for Yuan Shao's plan that day, 20,000 soldiers and horses were surrounded, and less than 5,000 people finally broke through and returned to the city. Li Yizi and Le Hedang, two generals, all died in the chaos in order to protect Gongsun Zhan. As soon as Hu Cai's words came here, Li Kang and Leping fell under their horses and fell to the ground crying.

Hu Caidao said: "Gongsun Zhan returned to the center of Yijing City and was discouraged, and later he set fire to the high-rise building where he lived and died with his wife and concubine. Later, General Gongsun Xu led his troops into the camp, and General Liu Weitai generously died with 2,000 cavalry in order to warn him. And the guard Guan Jing asked the soldiers of the city to surrender, but he killed himself with his sword. After Yuan Shao entered the city, most of the Youzhou generals surrendered, and the soldiers began to be recruited, while Gongsun Zan and his cronies' families were all punished as slaves and distributed to the Jizhou generals. ”

When Li Dang and Le Ping heard this, their eyes were blood-red, "Yuan Shao's skin, my brother swears that if he doesn't kill your whole family in the future, he will be a boy in Youzhou." ”

Tian Jing made them cry happily, and then set up a simple mourning hall in the camp, on which were placed tablets of Gongsun Zhan, Liu Weitai, Li Yizi, and Le Hedang. The four brothers can be regarded as living and dying together, but they have never made their vows. After Tian Jing led Li Kang, Leping and more than 100 reserve white horse cavalry to pay tribute, he immediately led Wang Dang and Sun Qing's 5,000 cavalry to rush back to Julu in the starry night.

************************************************************************

Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang in Julu City received half a month, and they never saw the Black Mountain soldiers and horses attacking the city, so they slowly relaxed their hearts. Later, a fire startled them, but it was also a suspicious plan of the enemy. In line with the idea of holding the city, they refused to fight, and finally held the clouds to see the sunrise, and on this day, the Montenegrin army retreated overnight.

Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang thought it was the enemy's trick at first, so they didn't dare to be careless, but just sent a scout horse out of the city to find out the news. Who knew that the result of the inquiry was that Yuan Shao had already broken through Yijing, and now the counties and counties of Youzhou are changing their banners, once Youzhou is pacified. Yuan Shao's army returned to Jizhou.

From this point of view, it is reasonable that the Montenegrin army retreated, and it did so quickly. Now that Yi Jing has been broken, Zhang Yan's siege of Wei to save Zhao has lost its meaning. Moreover, the Montenegrin army was originally a rabble, so it did not have any strong combat power, if the soldiers and horses of Jizhou returned with the newly victorious division, then Zhang Yan was likely to be annihilated. He withdrew early and quickly, which can be regarded as clever. And Tanma has also returned to report that Zhang Yan's army has already withdrawn to the house two hundred miles away from Julu, thinking that it will quickly withdraw to Montenegro.

In this way, the original tight strings suddenly loosened. Lü Kuang and Lü Xiang opened the city gates, and the soldiers who defended everywhere also began to return to a non-wartime state.

Who knew that when the city gate was about to close in the evening of the same day, a team of more than 100 Jizhou people and horses came. The people who came said that they were under the account of General Gao Lan who came to collect grain and grass.

The generals guarding the gate did not dare to call the shots, so they only asked them to wait at the city gate, so they went to report to the two generals Lü Kuang and Lü Xiang in person.

The soldiers guarding the gate chatted with these soldiers and horses who came to collect grain and grass, and asked about the war in Youzhou. At this time, the sound of horses' hooves in the distance was blowing, and the dust was flying.

The gatekeepers just wanted to be on guard, but they didn't know that the Jizhou soldiers who were chatting with them just now suddenly slashed them with knives. Because he was caught off guard, the guards were killed by more than 100 people at once, and then the city gate was firmly controlled by those "Jizhou soldiers".

This is Wang Dang and Sun Qing leading 5,000 soldiers and horses to rush into the city, which is a burst of killing. Before the city soldiers could figure out what was going on, they were killed and fled.

Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang were shocked when they heard the news. After reacting, he let his own soldiers supervise the battle and prepare to stabilize the situation in the city. But at this time, the defenders of the West Gate came to report that Zhang Yan's 30,000 soldiers and horses, who were still in the house in the morning, did not know when they would come back. Now the army is coming into the city from the west gate.

Hearing this, Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang knew that the general trend had gone. I had to flee with my own soldiers by opening the south gate. As for whether Yuan Shao will cut off their heads in the future, they don't care about it, as long as they can save their lives now.

***********************************************************************

When Tian Jing and Zhang Yan walked into the city, they found that the mountains of grain and grass in the city were also overjoyed.

Zhang Yan has already arranged for people to pull away the grain and grass in the city with carts one by one. Some of these carriages and horses were originally used to transport grain in Julu City, and some of them were collected by them just now. However, the vehicles were limited after all, and Zhang Yan's soldiers and horses did not dare to delay, they calculated that they could only transport one-fifth of the grain of the giant deer if they filled all the vehicles in one day and one night. However, these are enough for the Montenegrin army for a winter.

Their idea was to surprise the giant deer and take its food and grass, although it could not change the tide of the battle. It can also be regarded as making Yuan Shao suffer some hardships, and appropriately slowing down his time to recover Youzhou. This also creates more opportunities for Gongsun Xu to retreat and rein in the old department.

Tian Jing saw that Zhang Yan had arranged everything, so he was ready to separate from Zhang Yan on this, and took Li Kang, Leping and more than 100 reserve white horses to make a detour south from the caravan arranged by Hu Cai.

If you are not intercepted by Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses, it is the best, if you are really stopped, you will show your identity. Yuan Shao still has to rely on himself to contain Cao Cao, and it will not be difficult for himself to come. The key is that Yuan Shao doesn't know his relationship with Zhang Yan, which is the guarantee that he can return safely.

Just as Tian Jing was about to leave, a guard came to report, and the two generals, Li Kang and Leping, seemed to recognize two of the captives and were about to kill them to vent their grievances.

Tian Jing was furious when he heard this, although Li Kang and Le Ping had lost their relatives, but there has always been a military order in their army not to kill prisoners, and they are their brothers who will be punished if they commit a crime, but they don't know who they want to kill?

Tian Jing rushed over and saw that although the two kneeling on the ground were familiar, they didn't know each other. He first asked the soldiers to stop the two of them, and then he went up to question.

As soon as Tian Jing asked, Li Kang and Le Ping said, "Big brother, we were about to prepare flammable things to burn grain and grass, but we didn't know that this guy would come to stop us." Say anything If the grain and grass are burned, Yuan Shao will definitely collect it from the people again. It's winter, and the people don't have enough food. As a result, I don't know how many more people will die of cold and starvation. Yuan Shao attacked my Youzhou, and he Jizhou people lived or died in my business. I was about to take care of this little tun chief who didn't know whether he was alive or dead, but I knew that I would recognize it after a closer look. He was the one who took our Lucheng back then, and we almost suffered the enemy back then, thanks to him. I was about to kill him to avenge the revenge of the year, but I didn't know that another person who was not afraid of death rushed out, but it was Chen Shuang, the deputy general of Ju Yi back then. These two are our mortal enemies, and you can't kill them. ”

Tian Jing heard that although they were captives, they begged him not to burn grain and grass for the sake of the people of Jizhou, so he had a good impression of them. When I heard it again, it was Ju Yi's son Ju Yan and deputy general Chen Shuang, and I was even more happy. And the generals who were originally able to command the first army are now only the post of tun commander, and they are afraid that they will not be powerful in the Jizhou army.

Tian Jing ordered Li Kang and Le Ping to step down, let the two of them get up, and asked, "The two generals were originally the deputy generals of the Beiwei Army, how can they become the guards in this giant deer city now?" ”

Ju Yan snorted coldly, "If you want to kill, you have to listen to the respect, why bother." ”

Tian Jing was not angry at all, and said, "I heard that General Ju Yi was upright and upright, and he was framed by Xiao Xiao and was assassinated. originally thought that Yuan Shaoding would not do such a thing to destroy the Great Wall, but now it seems that I am afraid that the rumors are nine points true. ”

When Ju Yan heard Tian Jing say this, he couldn't help but say, "My uncle has always been loyal and upright, and he rarely interacted privately with Yuan Shao's subordinates, so although his military exploits were outstanding, he was mostly erased by these literati. In the first battle of Youzhou that year, my uncle commanded the overall situation, but because he refused to assassinate Liu He in the battle, he was changed in the battle and was full of suspicion. Later, those literati found an opportunity again, saying that my uncle was against him, and Yuan Shao first seized his military power, disbanded the Beiwei army, and then gave him death with poisoned wine. Although we were disheartened, if we didn't join the army and had no livelihood, we had to continue to serve Yuan Shao. However, he Yuan Shao is a narrow-minded person after all, and he refuses to reuse us, so I am here to be a small tun chief and survive to this day. Today, I didn't expect anyone to say a word of justice for my uncle, but today is death, and my death is worth it. ”

Tian Jing hurriedly went up to help Ju Yan and Chen Shuang, and said emotionally, "I admire General Ju Yi very much. If General Ju Yi had been presiding over the overall situation that day, I was afraid that Yi Jing would have broken it two years ago. Under the back of General Juyi's army, it was a ruthless admiration. In the next day, I am the general of the Han Dynasty, and there is a shortage of two generals under my command, so I don't know if the two of them are willing to follow me to Hedong and create a great cause together. ”

Ju Yan and Chen Shuang were stunned for a moment when they heard this, and then they reacted after a while, the two glanced at each other, understood each other's intentions, and gave Tian Jing a salute, "The last general has seen the lord." ”

Tian Jing was overjoyed, and hurriedly helped the two of them up, "Okay, in the future, the two generals will rebuild a back-up army that dominates the world for my Hedong soldiers and horses." ”
