Chapter 141: Remnants

Since Zhang Xiang decided to stay in Jizhou temporarily, he had to guard against Han Fu's retaliation, so Zhang Xiang sent a large number of scouts in the direction of Luoyang, exaggerating to say that it was three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry.

is to know the return journey of the Jizhou army in advance, so that it can slip away in advance, because of Dong Zhuo's trouble, so many big clans have left the Sili area and come to Jizhou, and the Yin family is one of them.

Because of Zhang Xiang's relationship, the Yin family chose to settle down in an area closer to the state, Zhang Xiang came to Jizhou to plunder, and the Yin family also made a lot of efforts behind it, after all, the fertilizer water does not flow into the fields of outsiders.

As long as there is no loss to his family, it is natural to help his son-in-law, and with the Yin family fueling the troubles, things become very different, everything is like the Yin family.

will marry with different families to ensure power, so many families are fundamentally related, and the Yin family naturally wants to give some face, not to mention that Zhang Xiang does have the posture of becoming the overlord of one party.

Although Zhang Xiang does not have the Yuan brothers, the illustrious fourth and third princes of the Yuan brothers, and there is no Cao Cao to assassinate Dong Zhuo and raise the banner of righteousness, but Zhang Xiang's young fame, Long Ben, Zhang Fei, Lu Pi and others will show their edge in the battle against Dong, and they have been noticed by major families.

Therefore, all major families in Jizhou are betting on Zhang Xiang, although it is not a heavy bet, but it also allows Zhang Xiang to get a group of available talents, among which the best talent is Han Juzi, who is one of the generals like Zhao Rui who is one of the four King Kongs of the Black Nest.

Han Juzi is a member of the old gun king Han Qiong, and his marksmanship is still a bit like the posture of the gun king, but Zhang Xiang doesn't know if he has the strength or the real strength. After all, Han Juzi was recommended by the Yin family.

is commonly known as going through the back door, and Zhang Xiang is not easy to shirk. Yin Kui is already under his command and is one of Zhang Xiang's most important advisers. Therefore, the face of the Yin family should still be given.

Even if Han Juzi is nothing, Zhang Xiang will raise him, this is the exchange of interests! Zhang Xiang showed his posture in Jizhou, and all talents did not refuse to come, regardless of their background.

Although Zhang Xiang did not issue a recruitment order like Cao Cao in history, what he did was almost just a piece of paper anyway, after all, Zhang Xiang did not dare to recruit talents openly and honestly.

That will cause the disgust of the heroes, Zhang Xiang is very busy here, but Luoyang is very idle, and the rest of the princes from all walks of life gather here to stare at each other. However, the loss of grain and grass is huge.

Everything will change when it comes to interests, and these princes are not the masters who can suffer, and finally broke up unhappily, at this time Han Fu also got the news that Zhang Xiang was making trouble in Jizhou.

So it's like Yuan Shao resigned, but Yuan Shao tried his best to keep it, Han Fu is an old official of the Yuan family, he has today's status and the credit of the Yuan family, Yuan Shao is like this, he can't refuse, so he has to stay for a few more days.

In fact, Yuan Shao also received the news that Zhang Xiang was in Jizhou, but in Yuan Shao's opinion, this is a good thing. If Yuan Shao wanted to occupy Jizhou, he wanted to cut down Han Fu's strength, and Zhang Xiang did this to help him.

Yuan Shao was naturally able to drag on for a day, and in the end, Han Fu couldn't help it. Zhang Xiang's appetite is getting bigger and bigger, and letters from Jizhou officials continue to be sent to Han Fu is subordinates, no matter how much Yuan Shao persuades him this time. Han Fu can't stay in Luoyang anymore.

As soon as Han Fu left Luoyang, Zhang Xiang received the news. He didn't stay long in Jizhou, even if it was a good thing, he didn't want it. Rushing directly to Bingzhou, the Xiangfei Army was originally moving faster than the Jizhou Army.

When Han Fu returned to the boundary of Jizhou, Zhang Xiang had already returned to Bingzhou, and after Han Fu returned to Jizhou, he found that the people of Jizhou had not suffered any losses, and they had also benefited from the Xiangfei Army.

But the big families in Jizhou have lost a lot, at least they have been stripped of a layer of skin by Zhang Xiang, Zhang Xiang is actually a bit of a chicken to take eggs, Zhang Xiang knows that he may not be able to come to Jizhou in a short time.

simply ate a full meal at one time, so although Zhang Xiang made friends with some good families with the Yin family, he also offended many families in Jizhou, and also borrowed flowers to offer Buddha to give part of the income to the people of Jizhou.

It also gave Zhang Xiang some good reputation among the people of Jizhou, Han Fu suffered a lot of losses in the battle against Dong this time, and Zhang Xiang had many fierce generals, and Han Fu was not sure to deal with it, so he endured it in the end.

Han Fu did this, which disappointed the Jizhou family even more, so when Yuan Shao invaded Jizhou, these families all turned against each other, and Zhang Xiang got the news of Sun Jian as soon as he returned to Bingzhou.

Because Sun Jian left Luoyang before Zhang Xiang, he quickly returned to the Jingzhou territory, and he didn't think that Liu Biao's ambush was seriously injured, but he didn't die, which made Zhang Xiang very strange, Sun Jian should be dead at this time!

In order to figure out the matter, Zhang Xiang ordered the people below to investigate strictly, and the final result was that Zu Mao helped Sun Jian block the fatal sword, Zhang Xiang didn't expect that he would inadvertently save Zu Mao but such a result would occur.

Is this a big loss because of a small loss? Zhang Xiang is very contradictory, firstly, he and Sun Jian are friends in life and death, and secondly, Sun Jian is his opponent in the future, Zhang Xiang originally planned that Sun Jian would die in the hands of Liu Biao, and he could rest assured.

It seems that this time he has found a difficult opponent for himself, Zhang Xiang thinks that he really likes to be cheap when he has time! Moreover, the situation of merging states is not as easy as Zhang Xiang thought.

Although Ding Yuan is dead, his son is still there, and his son Ding Lei is not a gentleman like Ding Liang, and he is the best candidate for the heir in Ding Yuan's forces.

So Ding Lei immediately got the support of the remnants of Ding Yuan, Ding Yuan has been in Bingzhou for many years, so his roots are very deep, and although Zhang Xiang has developed rapidly in recent years, his foundation is not very stable.

Zhang Xiang is very confident that he can easily defeat Ding Lei with his own strength, but Yuan Shao and they haven't made a move yet, and Zhang Xiang doesn't want to start this way, although the south fights, but it is not the north, and whoever eats meat first in the north may break his front teeth.

Yuan Shao has a good tooth mouth supported by his family, so he dares to bite this first bite, and Zhang Xiang's texture follows, so let's let Ding Lei jump for a few days first! Zhang Xiang wanted to let Ding Lei go.

It's a pity that someone is looking for death, Ding Lei began to provoke Zhang Xiang, not that Ding Lei couldn't see the situation clearly, but Ding Lei saw it too clearly, he knew that only Zhang Xiang could compete with him.

Zhang Xiang has just returned to Yanmen, if he doesn't do it at this time, he won't have so many opportunities to do it in the future, Ding Lei thought about it clearly, so he provoked Zhang Xiang in every way, but unfortunately it had no substantive effect.

Ding Lei inherited the remnants of Ding Yuan's forces, and also inherited Ding Yuan's character of swallowing water, he is timid in doing anything, he is cautious and cautious when he says it well, and he is cowardly and afraid of things if he doesn't say it well.

Usually he only opens his mouth and shouts, and he doesn't really do it, so that Zhang Xiangkong is happy, if Ding Lei does it first, Zhang Xiang will have a reason to do it, and he doesn't need to get Yuan Shao before attacking and merging the state.

Zhang Xiang couldn't endure it all the time, so Zhang Xiang discussed with Cheng Yu and Yang Xu how to weaken Ding Yuan's remnants without using troops, Cheng Yu came out of course to show it, "When the lord changes his power, the heir is always a problem, Ding Lei is indeed Ding Yuan's son, but Ding Yuan does not have only one son, everyone is greedy, as long as the lord secretly supports one, he can play a role in weakening the remnants of the Ding family." ”

Zhang Xiang immediately thought of Ding Liang, Ding Liang is a gentleman, but he is very greedy, even if he supports himself, he will not pose any threat to himself in the end, and he is indeed the best candidate.

Moreover, Ding Liang's cheap father is still by his side, and Ding Cheng is Ding Yuan's confidant, so it is logical for him to come forward to support Ding Liang and will not arouse the suspicion of others.

It's really a lot of money, and Ding Cheng has always felt guilty about Ding Liang, he will definitely support Ding Liang with all his might, even if he knows that there is me behind him, he will definitely gamble for his son.

At least he has to protect Ding Liang's safety, so he must agree to deal with Ding Lei, although Zhang Xiang can't help Ding Cheng on the surface, but Yu Zeng's forces can play a role at this time.

At that time, Ding Lei would only think that Yu Zeng wanted to fish in troubled waters, but he couldn't have imagined that Yu Zeng was Zhang Xiang's person, after all, the identity of an official and a thief was a bit different, so Zhang Xiang released Ding Cheng.

Ding Cheng has been under house arrest for a long time, and Zhang Xiang is also good to him, except that he can't play with women, but he eats and drinks well, so that Zhang Xiang feels fat several times when he sees him.

Zhang Xiang joked: "Ding Juncheng hasn't seen him for a while, he is really rich, it seems that my people take good care of you and have not wronged you." Ding Cheng could only keep nodding.

When Zhang Xiang saw his appearance, he suddenly said, "Ding Yuan is dead, you should know what I will do next!" I was going to let the children of the Ding family go, but unfortunately Ding Lei just did it against me, what do you think will happen to Ding Cheng? ”

Ding Cheng was also worried when he heard Ding Liang's name, although he hadn't seen Zhang Xiang during this time, but he lived in the county guard mansion and he also knew Zhang Xiang's every move, Zhang Xiang was not as good as he seemed.

Bringing people seems to be gentle but ruthless in private, Ding Lei is also Ding Cheng watched grow up, talent is indeed a bit of a pity to do things too gently, it will not be Zhang Xiang's opponent at all, Ding Lei will die Ding Cheng will not worry, but even Ding Liang, Ding Chengcheng can't stand it.

Tiger poison does not eat children, Ding Liang has recognized others as his father over the years, and what people always can't get is the best, so Ding Cheng has always been obedient to Ding Liang, of course, as an uncle.

Ding Cheng knew that there must be something wrong with Zhang Xiang suddenly finding him, otherwise he wouldn't mention Liang'er, "Lord County Guard, I, Ding Cheng, am worthless and worthless, and I am ready to be sent at any time, but I hope that the County Guard will spare Ding Liang's life."
