Since the discord between Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao took a large group of Yuan family members close to Yuan Shao to leave the Bohai Sea, leaving Yuan Shu to stick to his old roots. Today's Runan Yuan family is in charge of Yuan Shu, the general of the dynasty, not Yuan Cheng, the general of Zuo Zhonglang.

Yuan Cheng and Yuan Ji have been at odds for a long time, and in Yuan Ji's eyes, Yuan Chengcheng is an old thing that holds that he is the elder of Yuan's family, relying on the old and selling the old. In order to win the support of these people, Yuan Shu had to let them guard the army, but Yuan Ji could only be a grain guard.

"Since General Ji Ling already knows the news of his brother Ji Zhong's death, he will never remain indifferent." Yuan Jiqing's muscles rose, "Although the lord has made it clear that he cannot rashly attack Yiyang County before the beginning of spring next year, he will not be subject to the orders of the foreign monarchs." Even if General Ji Ling didn't attack with all his might, he would not let go of Liu Jingsheng's father and son so easily. ”

"The general means to take this opportunity to completely trap Liu Qi in Xin Cai?" Feng Zhou somewhat understood what Yuan Ji meant, Ji Zhong's death had a big impact on Ji Ling, and it was not small. Ji Ling will definitely send his subordinates to force Yiyang County, at this time Liu Qi is still in Xincai, there is a siege in front of the interception, and there are chasing soldiers in the back, with Liu Qi Chen's troops, it is impossible to hold on until Liu Biao's reinforcements arrive.

"Hmm." Yuan Ji calmed down his emotions and said to Feng Zhou: "My Yuan family has arranged nearly 20,000 thieves in the Runan area, and its purpose is very simple, on the one hand, it is to deter the families in the county and monitor them in case of accidents; On the other hand, it is to collect military funds and eliminate certain disobedient clans. ”

Feng Zhou, as Feng Fang's eldest son, naturally knew the various means involved. He nodded and said, "Is the general going to use them?" ”

"Pass my order, let Yuan Fang lead his 10,000 thief soldiers to immediately set off to besiege Xincai City, and not let go of a single soldier. If the fighter plane is missed, ask for him! As if he had made up his mind, Yuan Ji said: "In order to prevent the handle from falling into the hands of Yuan Cheng, an old ghost, General Feng, you will personally lead the only remaining horse army in Gushi County to support." ”

"No!" Feng Zhou hesitated for a moment and said, "The three thousand horse army has been injured a lot, and I am afraid that there will be complaints about the attack on Xincai for several days. Besides, now that there is not enough food and grass, I am afraid that it will ......"

"Humph! Whine! My Yuan family has raised them for so long to use at this time, and the soldiers who dare to complain will be beheaded for public display! Yuan Ji was furious, but Feng Zhou persuaded again: "Yuan Cheng has not sent troops yet, and the matter of grain and grass still needs to be considered by the general." ”

Yuan Ji also knew that this matter was very difficult, and said: "Then wait for the day when Yuan Cheng's old ghost sends out his troops, and General Feng will also lead the horse army to assist him." Now, please ask General Feng to go to the county to borrow food. ”

Feng Zhou received the order to go, as for the big clans in the county who refused to borrow grain? It is not unheard of before that the army has robbed, so he is naturally not worried.

The granary was burned down, so that Yuan Cheng in Runan was in chaos, and Yuan Shu who was in Wancheng in Nanyang was caught off guard, in order to appease Yuan Shu's anger, Yuan Ji had to use the bandit soldiers that the Yuan family had been secretly raising.

Niyang, dusk, Jiling Dazhai.

"Report!" The voice of the summons scout sounded outside the tent, "Pingyu has an urgent military situation and must inform General Ji!" ”

"Come in!"

The one who was captured by Liu Qi came in, presented a box containing Ji Zhong's head, and said: "Pingyu was attacked by Xincai Liu Qi last night, and Ji Zhong will die in battle!" ”

"What did you say?!" A loud shout frightened the school officer, he didn't dare to look at Ji Ling, and said in a trembling voice: "General Ji Zhong died in battle with Yiyang County......

Ji Ling looked at Ji Zhong in the box and said sadly: "Who killed my brother?!" ”

"It's a young general named Zhao Yun." The school officer broke out in a cold sweat and replied honestly: "Then Liu Qi also asked the little one to pass a message to General Ji, saying... Say..."

"What did he say!" Ji Lingbao's eyes widened, and his muscles burst out.

"He said that he would take the head of the general's neck in the future, and let the general take care of it......" Before the school officer finished speaking, Ji Ling laughed angrily, "Hahaha! Ji wants to see how he takes the head off my neck! Someone, drag him out and cut him down! ”

"The general spares his life!" The school official pleaded bitterly, but Ji Ling was unmoved.

"Wait!" Just when the school officer was dragged out and beheaded, a middle-aged man dressed as a scribe next to Ji Ling stood up and stopped, "Why should General Ji pour his anger on these people, and bury General Ji Zhong well." ”

"Humph!" Ji Zhong snorted coldly, "This is more than a blood debt, and I Ji can't wait to enter Xinye immediately, cut Liu Qi and the others with thousands of knives, and relieve the hatred in my heart!" ”

"The lord once made it clear that he should not act recklessly before the beginning of spring next year, could it be that General Ji forgot?!" The scribe was not at all afraid of Ji Ling in his rage, and said, "If the general wants to do this, Yang Hong will definitely play the lord." ”

"Yang Hong, you ......!" Ji Ling was full of anger, and when he raised his hand, he wanted to kill Yang Hong with a knife. Yang Hong was not afraid, and after a while, Ji Ling put down the big knife in his hand.

Yang Hong was the military advisor that Yuan Shu relied on the most, and Ji Ling knew that he couldn't do anything with him. He stared at Yang Hong coldly, and said angrily: "Ji will never give up!" ”

"Of course." Yang Hong shook his feather fan, "Brother Ling's death, Hong deeply regrets. Pingyu is the presence of the Xu family, Xu Rong is living well now, but Ji Zhong died in battle, doesn't General Ji Ling think it's strange? ”

"The Xu family?!" Ji Ling, as the general of Yuan Shu, wanted to disagree with some big clans, Xu Rong and Ji Zhong guarded the peace together, Ji Zhong died in battle, Xu Rong had nothing to do, which aroused Ji Ling's anger even more. Ji Ling said hatefully: "The Xu family must pay for my life!" ”

"General Ji, don't be impatient." Yang Hong smiled inexplicably, "It is Xu Tai of the Xu family who is stationed in Shuyang, and now the general is just taking them for their crimes." ”

"What does Yang Junshi mean to order them to attack Xinye?" Ji Ling was worthy of being the general under Yuan Shu, and he guessed Yang Hong's intentions at once.

"Exactly." Yang Hong said with a smile: "General Su Wen and the Xu family are at odds, and now Ji Zhong's death can be used as a handle to suppress the Xu family, although it is disrespectful to General Ji Zhong, but it is the best opportunity for the general to cut off dissidents." ”

Xu Tai is one of the most valued people in the Xu family, except for Xu You, it is his turn, and Xu Jing has to be in the back row. Speaking of Xu Tai, Ji Ling even forgot about Ji Zhong's death and asked, "What can Yang Junshi do?" ”

"If they recover Xinye, the general will be the first priority, if they fail, the general will say that they sent troops without authorization and destroyed the lord's plan, and the time will be ......" Yang Hong said here, Zhao Ji Ling smiled slightly, and there was no need to say anything about the implication, Ji Ling naturally knew it.

"Pass my military order, order Xu Tai to start attacking Xinye on the same day, if there is disobedience, immediately beheaded!" Ji Ling and Yang Hong looked at each other and smiled, and Ji Ling said again: "Bury my brother Ji Zhong!" ”

Yang Hong saw Ji Ling arranging it like this, and said in his heart: To be able to reduce a competitor so easily, Ji Zhong's death this time is really too appropriate. When the time comes, under the lord's account, who else is the military advisor that the lord relies on the most?

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

Shinno, the county keeper's house.

Xun Yu looked at the news reported by the scout, couldn't help but shake his head, and said secretly: "My student is really restless, the next step must be to raid Xinxi." ”

Xun Yu knew Liu Qi's intentions when he left, and he didn't expect news to come so soon. He called over Wang Wei and said, "General Wang, I'm afraid that Yuan Shu will make moves in the past two days, please deal with it carefully." ”

As he spoke, he told Wang Weiwen about Liu Qi's night attack on Pingyu and the burning of the granary. The three of them couldn't help but be overjoyed, and they all praised Liu Qi.

"Don't get too excited, that's what we're focusing on." Xun Yu began to pour cold water and said, "The movement of the defenders of Shuyang is not small, and General Wang and General Wen have to take precautions. ”

"Please rest assured Mr. Xun, I will kill as many as he comes!" Wang Wei was rarely happy, "What's more, there is also the general General Wen to assist in the defense." The eldest prince is really happy this time! Hahaha. ”

Wen Ping couldn't help but look at Wang Wei who was in joy with a smile, speechless.

"That being said, caution is the best." Xun Yu ignored Wang Wei's crazy words and instructed Shi Adao: "We don't know for the time being how many Yuan Shu troops are chasing Prince Qi in Runan County, but according to the news from the county guard, the county guard is about to cross the river and attack Xinxi. ”

"Therefore, General Shi, please rush to Luoshan's aid immediately." Xun Yu pointed to the area around Luoshan, and said with a solemn face: "At this time, General Liu Hu and Liu Paner are probably already receiving his orders. The purpose of your trip is to assist the two generals in cutting off the way back for the Xinxi garrison after they leave the city. ”

"No!" Shi A received the order, and immediately rushed to the aid with the five hundred guards battalion.

Seeing Xun Yu's unprecedented solemnity, Wang Weidun restrained his mood and went to arrange defense with Wen Ping.

Xiangyang, the state pastoral house.

"Hahaha!" From afar, I heard Liu Biao's laughter from inside, and only the two brothers Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang were in the house.

The Kuai brothers took the letter handed over by Liu Biao suspiciously, glanced at it roughly, and the two brothers looked at each other and found that each other's eyes were shocked.

"My lord, this... Is it all true? Kuai Yue couldn't believe that a fifteen-year-old prince in his eyes had such courage.

"When I just watched it, I was just like you, hahaha." Liu Biao was relieved and said: "I can't imagine that I haven't seen you for a few months, my son has done this, which really surprises me, the old man." ”

"Congratulations! As soon as the eldest prince burns like this, there will be less threat from Runan County. Kuai Liang sighed: "Brave and brave, even if you have no last resort, you have a good son." ”

"yes. Not long after the Yuedan review came out, everyone in the world laughed at the lord, but the eldest prince completely made Xu Shao and the people in the world who looked down on the lord's father and son have nothing to say! Kuai Yue said, even if it was the champion Hou, he might not have this achievement back then, it seems that everyone in the world has lost their eyes.

The Yuedan review was only transmitted to Jingzhou, and most of the state ministers in Jingzhou had a lot of remarks about Liu Biao's father and son suffering "false appearances", and the current Gushi fire was undoubtedly his strongest counterattack.

"Pass my order and let Zhang Hu lead the escort of 2,000 war horses as a reward to the county guard of Yiyang County." Liu Biao first said excitedly, then his face froze, and then said: "If he can't even resist the offensive of Runan County, then even if he is the son of the state pastor, he can no longer be the county guard of Yiyang County." ”

Although the Kuai brothers had the intention to stop it, they had to let go of the dissatisfaction in their hearts after hearing Liu Biao's words.
