In Pingyuan County, after Yuan Shao and Zhao Kuangyin united, soldiers and horses were hoarded here, waiting for the soldiers and horses to gather food and grass everywhere, and then marched east to attack Qingzhou. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Now Yuan Shao has been stationed for more than a month, the time has come to March, the weather is gradually getting warmer, and most of the grain, grass, soldiers and horses are ready, it is time to attack Qingzhou.

However, in the past month, the interior of Jizhou has been full of ups and downs, and there have been rumors everywhere that Zhang Yan wants to oppose Yuan Zili, or to take refuge in Liu Wei.

Yuan Shao was originally suspicious, but Zhang Yan's strength was also really strong, with a million Black Mountain troops going down the mountain, 300,000 young and strong, 100,000 young and strong entering the regular army, and 200,000 tuntian or serving as county soldiers. Zhang Yan, as the commander of the Black Mountain Army, stayed in Taihang Mountain, if he took advantage of Yuan Shao's attack on Qingzhou and called on Qingzhuang to rebel or surrender to Liu Wei, wouldn't it be a big deal?

Regarding this rumor, Cui Hao has said more than once that it is Liu Wei's discordant plan, but Cui Hao is Cui Hao, Yuan Shao is Yuan Shao, Cui Hao can help Yuan Shao become stronger, but he can't change Yuan Shao's character. Although Yuan Shao ostensibly followed Cui Hao's advice and trusted Zhang Yan, he was very scared in his heart and no longer believed Zhang Yan. Even if Zhang Yan doesn't rebel, he wants to get rid of this henchman.

On this day, in Jingjing Pass, Yuan Shao's henchmen placed in Jingjing Pass rushed to Yuan Shao's camp in the plains and reported Sun Qing's matter to Yuan Shao. In the camp, cronies handed over their hands and reported: "Lord Qi, Sun Qingzhen has rebelled against guarding Jingjing Pass!"

"What's going on?" Yuan Shao asked in shock.

"That Wang Meng has been secretly giving gifts to Sun Qing for the past month, and the first few times he Sun Qing has asked the envoy to go back. Later, I found out that he was forced to kill Mingzhi under pressure, and in my opinion, this Sun Qing may have colluded with the state side, and wants to surrender at a critical time! His cronies reported to Yuan Shaoyu.

Yuan Shao's face was solemn and said, "What about Zhang Yan?" Have you ever been in contact with the soldiers and horses of the state? ”

"Not before!"

Yuan Shao stood with his hands in his hands, walking back and forth in the tent, his face was very ugly, and he asked the strategists: "In your opinion, can Zhang Yan still believe this Sun Qing?"

"Lord, this is obviously Wang Meng's trick and trickery, giving Sun Qing a gift, but not Zhang Yan, which is obviously confusing the public, so that the lord can't judge the authenticity. Zhang Yan is concerned about Montenegro, and now that the people of Montenegro are settled in Jizhou, he has no possibility of taking refuge in Liu Wei! Cui Hao hurriedly reminded.

"So you are deceiving me? Could it be that I, Yuan Shao, am so good to bully? Why do they target me Yuan Shao every time? Bo Yuan, in my opinion, even if Zhang Yan doesn't take refuge in Liu Wei, but his strength is too strong, I can't keep him in Montenegro? If he ......," Yuan Shao wanted to say and stopped.

Xu You suggested: "The lord is angry, Taihang Mountain is a barrier in Jizhou, and there are only 20,000 soldiers and horses in Jizhou, so the lord can send a general who is close to him to exchange for Zhang Yan's Montenegrin army." As long as you take strict precautions, and the state soldiers and horses don't want to cross the thunder pool by half a step! ”

"Yes, now, I can't let Zhang Yan stay in Taihang Mountain, so I will transfer him back and put him by my side, so as not to cause chaos!" Yuan Shao nodded and agreed to Xu You's suggestion.

"The lord is slow, Zhang Yan is familiar with the terrain of Taihang Mountain, and the town guard of Taihang Mountain will be as stable as Mount Tai, but if the lord sends other generals to replace him, the defense of Taihang Mountain will be flawed!" Cui Hao hurriedly stopped Yuan Shao and asked the cronies who came back to report: "Let me ask you, what is the situation on the party side in Taiyuan now?"

"Taiyuan is also in a uproar now, Li Xianzhong has been ill for three months, and now he has been transferred back to Luoyang!"

Cui Hao thought he had guessed something, and said with a smile: "As soon as Li Xianzhong leaves, the 20,000 soldiers and horses in Taiyuan will be leaderless, and it must be Wang Meng who will replace him." Wang Meng's schemes are endless, and he presided over the destruction of Dong Zhuo and the destruction of Wancheng back then. Now giving a gift to Sun Qing must be this person's trick, and the lord must not be trusted! ”

Yuan Shao also asked in a deep voice: "But Wang Meng replaces Li Xianzhong?"

Yuan Shao's henchman, who came to report the news, shook his head and said, "It's not Wang Meng who replaces Li Xianzhong, but a person named Li Jing!"

"Li Jing? Who is this person? Have you heard of this man's reputation? Yuan Shao looked at everyone suspiciously and asked.

Cui Hao also frowned, thinking that Li Xianzhong should have replaced Li Xianzhong to command the Taiyuan soldiers and horses when he left, but there was an infamous Li Jing, what the hell is going on?

Everyone shook their heads, saying that they had never heard of Li Jing, a nobody.

Cui Hao asked again: "Then do you know what Li Jing did after he arrived in Taiyuan?"

According to the Taiyuan detective report, as soon as Li Jing arrived at the barracks, someone asked him about his plan to rescue Qingzhou, and he said that he had already made a bamboo in his chest, and he used this excuse to call the people who asked for the plan to come to Liwei. Then he didn't do anything, drinking and having fun in the tent all day long, and now the soldiers and horses in Taiyuan are already complaining about him! ”

"The military law of the state is very strict, and the change of generals in battle is already unfavorable to the army, why does Li Jing still drink and have fun every day and ignore military affairs?" Cui Hao's brows furrowed, thinking about the reason why Li Jing did this.

Yuan Shao suddenly slapped the table and said coldly: "I know, it must be this Li Jing who bought Sun Qing and Zhang Yan, so he is so fearless!" No, no matter whether they are loyal or traitorous, I must not let Zhang Yansun continue to guard Taihang Mountain! ”

Cui Hao instinctively felt that something was wrong, but now Zhang Yan could no longer gain Yuan Shao's trust. And with Zhang Yan's great strength, Cui Hao knew that Yuan Shao would not let him stay in Taihang Mountain. At this time, Cui Hao couldn't help but blame Yuan Shao, the lord, there were too many problems, Liu Wei fought with Yuan Shao, never confronted each other, but used Yuan Shao's character flaws to make a fuss.

"Hey, this lord's character is really real, no wonder the enemy always targets him!" Cui Hao sighed secretly in his heart, but he was helpless.

Here, Yuan Shao decided to send another general to replace Zhang Yan, so he asked Cui Hao: "Bo Yuan, in your opinion, who should be sent to replace Zhang Yan?"

"Only General Yang and General Gao can replace Zhang Yan!" Cui Hao immediately recommended.

"No, the two of them are invincible, and I will use them to deal with Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin and others. Don't use an elephant to crack a nut? Taihang Mountain is precipitous, and Li Jing is so unbearable, I just need to send a henchman to garrison it! Yuan Shao thought about it, but still rejected Cui Hao's suggestion.

Yang was wide-eyed in the tent, and Gao breathed a sigh of relief, Cui Hao suggested that the two of them guard Taihang Mountain, but they were reluctant. Now that the attack on Qingzhou is imminent, it is a good opportunity to make contributions, and they don't want to go to the place where birds don't in Taihang Mountain.

Now in Yuan Shao's army, there are also Han Meng, Yan Liang, Zhang He, Yang Dayan, Gao Gao and other generals, among them, Zhang He, Yang Dayan, Gao and Steady, but the other two are reckless. Han Meng was guarding against Yang Zaixing in Muye, and Zhang He was in northern Hebei, and Yan Liang was obviously unwilling to guard Taihang Mountain.

Cui Hao looked around, all of them were mediocre and inactive, if there was no use of the plan on the side of Bingzhou, it would be fine, if there was really a plan, then the defense of Taihang Mountain would not be monolithic.

Yuan Shao looked around, and finally set his eyes on Chun Yuqiong, and said: "Chun Yuqiong, you have followed me for many years and are loyal to me, so how about you go to Taihang Mountain to replace Zhang Yan?"

Chun Yuqiong was very happy in his heart, he knew that he was mediocre, if he could stay away from the front line and go to the rear to guard the Tianqian Taihang Mountain, there would be no danger at all. Chun Yuqiong immediately nodded and agreed: "The last general is willing, the lord can rest assured, the last general will go to Taihang Mountain to guard the western barrier for you and protect Jizhou without fail."

"Okay, then you will lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to Taihang Mountain tomorrow to replace Zhang Yan." Yuan Shao was overjoyed, so he ordered Chun Yuqiong to replace Zhang Yan and guard Taihang Mountain.

"This Chun Yu Qiong is good at wine and greedy for a cup, and if he goes to Taihang Mountain, he will definitely be in chaos!" Cui Hao shouted in his heart that it was not good, and hurriedly stopped Chun Yuqiong and said: "General Chunyu, after you go to Taihang Mountain, how do you guard the Taihang Mountain checkpoint?"

"Since there is a problem with that Zhang Yan, I will definitely rearrange the defense around Taihang Mountain, take strict precautions, and not let the Han army take advantage of it!" Chun Yuqiong replied.

Yuan Shao on the side also smiled: "Chun Yuqiong was one of the eight captains of the forbidden army back then, and he knew the art of war, and he would definitely be as stable as Mount Tai when he guarded Taihang Mountain."

Cui Hao's face was slightly gloomy and said: "No, General Chun Yu must not be so defended when he goes to Taihang Mountain!"

Chun Yuqiong arched his hand and asked, "Then how should I arrange it according to the opinion of the military advisor?"

"There is no need to arrange, what Zhang Yan does, you can do, and there is no need to mobilize soldiers and horses everywhere. In addition, you only need to exchange soldiers and horses with Zhang Yan, and you don't have to play your own banner, just let Li Jing think that Zhang Yan is still in Guanzhong! Cui Hao replied.

"That Zhang Yan colluded with Li Jing, and I still ......"

Cui Hao waved his hand and interrupted Chun Yuqiong's words: "It's just that I suspect Zhang Yan, and it hasn't been implemented yet." If he really unites with Li Jing, if you continue to use his banner, Li Jing will definitely send someone to unite with you. You will do what you want! In short, the defense of your soldiers and horses everywhere does not have to change, and Taihang Mountain is naturally as stable as Mount Tai! ”

"Whatever the military advisor says, you will do!" Yuan Shao also looked at Chun Yuqiong and ordered.

"No, after I go, I won't change the layout of Taihang Mountain!" Chun Yuqiong agreed, but she didn't think so.

Chun Yuqiong bowed his hand and retreated to prepare to go to Taihang Mountain, Yuan Shao sat back in his seat, looked at his subordinate Wenwu and said: "Now my Jizhou soldiers and horses are gathered in the plain, 130,000 soldiers and horses are in camp for several miles, and the soldiers are thrown into the river, which is enough to block the Yellow River. Now that the soldiers and horses have been assembled, what is the movement in Qingzhou? ”

"Lord Qi, Qingzhou has completely abandoned the three counties of Qi, Jinan, and Le'an, and the troops have shrunk to the two counties of Donglai and Beihai, and the people have also moved into the second county!" Cui Hao replied with his hand.

Yuan Shao clapped his palms and said with a smile: "The power of our two coalition forces is so strong that Kong Rong directly gave up Jinan, Qi and other three places. In this way, Qingzhou, the territory I want, has been given up! ”

Cui Hao sighed and said: "Qingzhou is vast and sparsely populated, and they gave up the three counties because they had few soldiers, so they shortened the front. Now they only guard Beihai and Donglai. We and Zhao Kuangyin are in the west and in the south to attack Beihai, in fact, they have soldiers and horses, and it is easier to subvert the grain and grass. Actually, it's even harder to deal with! ”
