Han Meng, the word Tho, there are several generals under Yuan Shao, if history has not changed, he will be the pillar in the "Hebei Four Courts and One Pillar", and died in the Battle of Guandu.

Guo Yuan, a native of Peiguo, is currently only the county commander of Huaixian County, but if Liu Cun was not born, he would have served as the Taishou of Hedong after the Battle of Guandu, and then died at the hands of his uncle Zhong Xuan.

But now everything is different, not only did the two die early, but even Zhang He, one of the "Hebei Four Courts" and "Five Good Generals", is now a number of generals in the Qingzhou Army, and history is undergoing earth-shaking changes.

After mourning Han Meng, Guo Yuan and others, and comforting the families of the four, they just returned to the lobby in front of the army, and after hurriedly greeting Xu Sheng and Xu Huang, they reported loudly:

"The military division sent a clipper from Shaanxi Jindu to report, and the fourth division of our army easily defeated the 20,000 Yuan troops east of Yanchi at noon, and captured the stubborn Yuan army commander Zhao Rui and deputy general Han Yi, General Guan Hai somehow learned that Zhao Rui and Han Yi had an old relationship with the lord, and quickly sent the two to the rear of Shaanjindu to hand over to the military division, and the military division ordered us to report to the lord as soon as possible and asked the lord to deal with it."

Xu Sheng groaned slightly, and then looked at Lu Pei: "During the Battle of Gushan back then, I was on the battlefield on the plains, and I remember that Zhao Rui, the lieutenant of Jinan, and Han Wei, the lieutenant of Linzi, were both under the command of the lord. You should know the famous Qingzhou generals Zhao Rui and Han Yi at that time, right? ”

Lu Pei laughed: "Although we don't have a deep friendship with each other. But they all know each other. also drank celebration wine together, but it didn't take long for the two of them to leave Qingzhou and take more than 1,000 elites under their command to go to the benefactor Yuan Benchu, haha! ”

"Did the lord have any orders before?" Li Zai hurriedly asked.

Lu Pei thought for a while, and said with some uncertainty: "I guess there is no order, otherwise the military advisor would not need us to ask the lord for advice...... Why don't you go to Shaanxi-Jindu and see if I can convince them to surrender. Especially Zhao Rui, this person is erudite and loyal, and he is quite popular in Qingzhou, if he can be persuaded to surrender, it will be of great benefit to the pacification of the entire Jizhou after the war. ”

Taishou Cui Hao, who had been sitting on the left side and had not spoken, slowly stood up, raised his hand and made a gesture, and took the initiative to ask: "I have a good personal relationship with General Zhao Rui, and I am willing to follow General Yupu on a trip...... When General Zhao Rui, whose ancestral home was in the party, was a teenager, he studied in my Cui clan school for five years, and he had a good friendship with his brother Cui Yan. The Shangdang Zhao family and my Hanoi Cui family are also world friends, and they have been married for three generations. It is estimated that it is not difficult to move him. ”

Lu Pei happily agreed, and stood up to thank Cui Hao.

Xu Huang was shocked when he saw this, Xu Sheng and Li Zheng were also full of surprise, they never knew that Cui Hao, the Hanoi Taishou who opened the city gate for himself, was actually the brother of Cui Yan, the military commander who was deeply trusted by the lord and now sat in Luoyang.

"Brother Wen Xiang and Brother Gongming, the younger brother will rush to Shaanxi-Jindu with Master Cui early tomorrow morning, and it will be up to the two brothers and Brother Li Zao to take Yecheng." Lu Pei turned to Xu Sheng and the three of them, who were looking at each other, and arched his hand.

Xu Sheng discussed with Xu Huang and Li Zai for a while, and soon came up with a unanimous opinion:

Li Zheng immediately returned to the ferry, led the naval brigade down the river, landed at the Liyang ferry that had been occupied by the navy, and went straight to Chaoge in the south of Yecheng in one go; Xu Sheng led his headquarters of 6,000 cavalry to the north early tomorrow morning, striving to join up with Li Zai's marine brigade before dark tomorrow, rest for the night, and then go straight to Yecheng regardless of it.

Xu Huang led 3,000 cavalry and 15,000 infantry of two divisions to guard Huai County, which was full of grain, grass and ordnance, to rectify and incorporate the 8,000 Yuan army, and then began to clear the remnants of Yuan's army and bandits from all walks of life in the surrounding counties, and completely took Hanoi County, a strategic point connecting Jizhou and Luoyang, into his hands.

In the middle of the night, the temporary marshal's mansion in Hejian City was brightly lit, and the atmosphere was extremely solemn.

Yuan Shao and his subordinate Wenwu gathered together to discuss nervously and analyze the urgent report that "nearly 100,000 Qingzhou troops drove out of Pingyuan City to conquer Qinghe".

Although so far, there has been no news from the Hedong front, which is thousands of miles away to the south, Yuan Shao, Xu You, and even the keen Tian Feng have already felt that the situation is not good, and the trial and senior cadres who know that the crisis is coming are also in turmoil, where is there any way to deal with it?

As early as two months ago, they secretly went north to contact Xianbei Lu Yi, and now it has become the only hope in their hearts, but they have not received any news from Lu Yi for several days, not to mention the trial and others, even Yuan Shao himself can't suppress the panic.

"Lord, the top priority at the moment is not to panic, although the Qingzhou army that has not declared war occupies the Qinghe, but there are still three hundred miles to go to attack under Yecheng, even if the Qingzhou army is strong and the progress is rapid, it will take at least three days to do it, not to mention that there are three fortified cities of Quzhou, Quliang and Handan garrisoned by our army from Qinghe to Yecheng!"

After Tian Feng finished speaking, he stood up and came to the center of the lobby to talk eloquently: "Secondly, the Qingzhou army that blatantly invaded Qinghe definitely does not have 100,000 people, even if you count the people and auxiliary soldiers, it will not exceed 60,000 at most, even if they attack the city all the way to Yecheng, they will not be able to shake Yecheng, which is the best soldier in the world, within a month." ”

"The 12,000 soldiers who stayed in Yecheng are all elites loyal to the lord, and they are all strong soldiers and fierce generals who have survived a hundred battles, and it is not a problem to hold Yecheng for a month or two!"

After listening to Tian Feng's impassioned and heroic analysis, Zhong Wenwu suddenly felt a lot relieved, and Yuan Shao, who was originally like a mourning concubine on the main seat, couldn't help but straighten his back.

Tian Feng, whose eyes were blazing, continued: "If the lord feels relieved, he might as well order General Yan Liang, who commands the rear army, to immediately lead his troops south to reinforce Yecheng, General Yan Liang's 25,000 men and horses are all strong soldiers who have been trained hard for half a year with new equipment, and most of them are recruited from Yecheng and the surrounding counties, as long as they return to Yecheng, they will be able to shoulder the heavy responsibility of defending their homeland and defending Yecheng with a certain heart of death!" ”

All the civil and military voices agreed, Yuan Shao weighed it slightly, decisively adopted Tian Feng's opinion, and immediately ordered Yan Liang's department, which was stationed in the south of the city, to make five watches to cook, and he must set off to return to Yecheng before dawn.

As soon as the order was issued, a series of huge thunderclaps suddenly sounded from the east of the city, and the sound of "boom" resounded through the heavens and the earth.

Yuan Shao, who was hotly discussed, and all his henchmen were shocked, and they didn't know what major changes had happened to the camp in the east of the city, which had already set up an ambush plan to prevent the Qingzhou army from attacking at night?

Yuan Shao and a group of civil and military officials rushed to the entrance of the lobby in panic, and soon saw a raging fire burning in the direction of the camp a few miles east of the city.
