Chapter 144: The Enemy Strikes

Taiyuan, Taishoufu. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Not long ago, this was only the Taiyuan County Administration, with the arrival of the imperial court envoys, Zhang Yuan was officially appointed as the state pastor, then changed the Xihe to the state governance, the county government also changed the plaque, changed to the state pastor's office.

Wang Gang successfully completed his mission, and Zhang Yuan appointed him as the master secretary and put him in charge of taxation.

Wang Gang was entrusted with important tasks, and the rest of the old subordinates who followed Zhang Yuan were naturally rewarded.

The position of the lord of Taiyuan was assumed by the strategist Gao Gong, Zu Di, Li Dingguo, Hua Rong, Ran Min, and Yang Zhi, who guarded the Gumu, were all named cavalry captains by Zhang Yuan.

The generals of the ministry were promoted and made a fortune, and they were naturally very happy, and they congratulated Zhang Yuan one after another, and Zhang Yuan also invited the generals every once in a while to celebrate.

But Zhang Yuan's mind was still very clear, and he also learned that the imperial court had appointed him as the pastor of the state at the same time, and also named Liu Bao as the Taiyuan Taishou, and he knew very well that this must be Dong Zhuo's desire to provoke Liu Bao and provoke a war between the two, so as to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

How cunning Dong Zhuo is, Zhang Yuan knows best, he expected that he would take the opportunity to mix sand with Bingzhou, and such an appointment was completely unexpected by him.

Even without Dong Zhuo's provocation, his war with Liu Bao was inevitable, as early as a few months ago, he was accumulating grain and grass, training soldiers, and intensively preparing for war.

Either he attacked Liu Bao first, or Liu Bao attacked him first, Dong Zhuo's provocation was just a fuse.

Sure enough, within a few days, several pieces of information unfavorable to Zhang Yuan were sent to Zhang Yuan one after another by the meticulous works distributed in various places.

In the direction of Huainan, Yuan Shu's army was gathering to the north of Guangling, and there seemed to be great signs of attacking and annexing the state in the north.

Not only in the direction of Huainan, but also from the north of Shangdang, Yuan Xi was also secretly gathering the Yuan family's army in Yizhou, and the direction of the assembly was located in the Gaomi area, and it was obvious that the Yuan family wanted to get involved in the Shangdang again.

As for the Jin side, not to mention, intelligence shows that Liu Bao's army has been frequently mobilized recently, and a large amount of grain and grass has also been transferred to Jin, and the signs of his opponent are no more obvious.

It was expected that Liu Bao would do something to himself, but a series of information from Yuan Xi in the north and Yuan Shu in the south made Zhang Yuan a little surprised, and he realized the severity of the situation.

The situation is already obvious, I don't know if it is the fall or the strategy offered by Cheng Zhu, all kinds of surrounding princes' actions, it must be Liu Bao's secret contact and jointly targeting himself.

Yuan Shu's army has 20,000 soldiers and horses, Yuan Xi of Yizhou has 30,000 soldiers and horses, plus more than 16,000 soldiers and horses held by Liu Bao, this time, he will face a siege of nearly 50,000 troops.

Although these 50,000 enemies had their own evil intentions, it was only the absolute superiority in terms of troops, which was enough to suppress Zhang Yuan's breathlessness.

Zhang Yuan realized that he was facing an existential crisis.

He only has two counties, Shangdang and Taiyuan, and there are only more than 30,000 soldiers and horses available in his hands.

Soon, the news that the three-way army was about to besiege spread throughout the city.

The people of Xihe had just been immersed in the joy of their new master, who had been named the governor of the state, but in the blink of an eye, they fell into panic again.

"I heard that Yuan Ergongzi is going to attack the Shangdang from the north, Yuan Shu is also going to attack us from the south, and there is Liu Xiaowang in the west, how can our Xinzhou Mu be able to stop the three-way army."

"This is not necessarily, wasn't Yuan Dagongzi and Liu Xuande also very powerful at the beginning, but they were defeated by our little Zhang Zhoumu."

"The current situation is different from the past, in the past, Xiao Zhang Zhoumu fought with one enemy alone, but now he has to fight against three enemies at the same time, and one is stronger than the other."

"That's right, I heard that there are as many as 50,000 enemies, especially that little prince Liu Bao, the martial arts are extraordinary, Zhang Zhoumu is afraid that he can't even beat him this way, let alone three ways."

"It's over, if Xiao Zhangzhou Mu can't beat it, we will all suffer, I heard that Liu Bao's Hun army kills people without blinking."

In the streets and alleys of Xihe, rumors of a strong enemy were spreading, and the people of Xihe, who had just established confidence in Zhang Yuan, were also shaken.

Not only Xihe, but also the two counties of Shangdang and Taiyuan under his control, the magistrates also reported one after another, claiming that the people of the corporal were panicked.

"I didn't expect Liu Bao to draw Yuan Xi and Yuan Shu to join forces to attack us, strong enemies are around, people are in turmoil before fighting, and the situation is very unfavorable to us." The general, Zu Di, also showed worry at this time.

Zhang Yuan's heart could not be calm, but on the surface, that young face was as calm as water, without a trace of waves.

He knows that as the lord, under this kind of situation and crisis, everyone can panic, but he can't panic.

"What's there to panic about, no matter how difficult the situation is, we have dealt with it, now that the soldiers are well fed, what is there to be afraid of, I have my own plan to break the enemy, so you don't need to panic." In an uneasy atmosphere, Zhang Yuan said calmly and calmly.

When everyone heard Zhang Yuan's claim that he had a means to break the enemy, Fang Shi's anxiety calmed down a little.

Zhang Yuan used his ruthlessness and self-confidence to appease the civil and military forces, making them retreat and make their own pre-war preparations.

Everyone retreated, but Zhang Yuan left Gao Gong behind.

Bang!

Zhang Yuan personally put a jar of unsealed good wine in front of Gao Gong, "High drunkard, the good wine is here, drink it quickly, and after drinking, I will think of a strategy to break the enemy." ”

When Gao Gong saw the good wine, his eyes were shining, and he was full of slander, but when he heard this sentence later, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Gao Gong was not drunk, but he was confused.

He remembered in a daze that just a moment ago, Zhang Yuan seemed to be confidently declaring that he had a plan to break the enemy, and he didn't take the three-way army in his eyes at all.

But after a moment of effort, Zhang Yuan used good wine to "bribe" himself to ask him for advice.

"Listening to the words of the lord of the square, I still think that the lord has a plan in his heart." Gao Gong's eyes were fixed on the wine jar, and his tongue licked his lips.

"With you, of course I have a way to break the enemy." Zhang Yuan smiled a little playfully.

Gao Gong understood, from beginning to end, Zhang Yuan was pointing at his head.

Although he was drooling, he still couldn't help but touch the wine jar, and said with a wry smile: "The situation this time is a little different, the three-way enemy Alas, the situation is not an ordinary difficulty, I'm afraid that my head can't think of a way." ”

"If you can't think of it, you have to think about it, if you can't cross this hurdle, we will all have to die, and you will never be able to taste this wine again in the future." Zhang Yuan didn't think so, you look at what you mean.

Zhang Yuan's tone was filled with a bit of threat.

Gao Gong's body shook suddenly, and his originally lazy expression finally became nervous, as if he was not afraid of death, but afraid of not having any wine.

Licking his tongue, Gao Gong couldn't hold it anymore, picked up the wine jar, raised his head and poured it wildly.

Zhang Yuan smiled, sat there and drank a few sips of tea, knocked a few melon seeds, and waited patiently for him. But he is indifferent and leisurely, and only cares about tasting his own tea. (To be continued.) )
