"Report ——!" , The herald shouted loudly, and the main backbone of the Cao clan in the Chenliu County Mansion gathered together and was discussing something;

"Say!" , Cao Cao;

"There is a person outside the door who claims to be Yingchuan Xizhong and has come to serve!" , the herald didn't dare to slack off, these days he has long been told by Li Yu with his ears that once someone comes to serve, no matter who he is, he must be told! Otherwise - chop!

"Yingchuan Xizhong? Drama··· Zhicai?··· Is it? Li Yu thought for a moment and hurriedly stood up, "It's better for the boss to greet him personally!" Cao Cao smiled: "It seems that Mr. knows this person!" ”

"I've heard that this person is ten times more talented than me!" , Li Yudao;

"Cut! When you see a person, you say that he is ten times more talented than you, and the more you say this, the smoother it becomes! Hahaha! Walk! Walk! Look at what a character ten times more powerful than Wilder looks like! Cao Cao laughed and took the lead in walking out, followed by a large group of people behind him;

I saw a thin middle-aged man standing against the wall outside the door, the man's face was sallow, even if he drank a sip of the wine in the gourd in his hand, his hands would tremble unconsciously, and his eye sockets were deep, his eyes were gray, he looked like a dying man, and the robe he was wearing looked light and fluttering on his body.

Cao Cao bowed and saluted: "Dare to ask if this is Mr. Xi Zhong?" It took a lot of effort to play Zhongcai to struggle to stand up straight, and saluted laboriously: "In Xiayingchuan, Xi Zhong, Xi Zhicai!" Meet Cao Gong! Sure enough, it was him! Li Yu said secretly;

Xi Zhi is a taciturn person, he only speaks freely when he talks with good friends, and the only person who can talk to him freely is Guo Jia at present;

He is close friends with Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao, but he wants to be more than ten years older than Guo Jia, because they are both poor scholars, so they have a lot of common topics, and Guo Jia's friend Xun Yu is very unpopular with him, because the Xun family is a wealthy family, he feels a little inferior;

Talented but depressed, he has been borrowing alcohol to kill his sorrows, and he himself is sick, and he feels that he has not many days, so he traveled all the way from Yingchuan, just to display his talent, even once is enough!

People like Xi Zhicai are the biggest victims of the feudal selection system, who have talent but nowhere to show it;

The official selection system used in the Han Dynasty was extended from the Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu to the "filial piety and honesty", but later it became a tool for the powerful families of the wealthy families;

Take the Yuan brothers and Cao Cao as examples, they didn't have much virtue at all, at that time they were the biggest group of gentlemen in Luoyang, and they were simply doing all kinds of evil, but in this way they were also promoted to filial piety and honesty, because they had a family background;

Xi Zhicai also thought about taking refuge in some wealthy families and other princely forces, but he just thought that he would not be reused, Cao Cao is currently a force and very weak, and needs talent to support, plus Cao Cao's background is a little better than some small scholars, far from being compared with the Dashi clan, and his reputation is much worse, the so-called eunuch is just like that;

Corporal Lixian, this is Xi Zhicai's first impression of Cao Cao, because he had no reputation and no identity before, Cao Cao was able to greet him in person, which is already very remarkable, and he also personally helped Xi Zhicai to the main hall, so that Xi Zhicai suddenly felt highly valued, and his heart was moved beyond words;

Because when he was young, he wanted to win fame with his talent, but he was full of white eyes and ridicule, and his cold heart seemed to be rejuvenated, beating rhythmically faster and faster;

"Shicai and I are talking about the resurgence of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, I don't know what Mr. thinks?" , Cao Cao asked with a smile;

ambitious; This is Xi Zhicai's second impression of Cao Cao, although he only owns Chen Liu, he is already thinking about things thousands of miles away, it seems that he will not live in this one place;

This is the lord that Xi Zhicai wants to see, to be ambitious, if he doesn't even have ambition, what can he do to compete for this world?

"The refusal sergeant has a message, the Yellow Turban Army..."

··········· Dividing line

Kong Rong's influence is really terrifying, of course, Qingzhou's territory is also very attractive, seeing the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Legion break through Linzi all the way and attack Beihai, Kong Rong wrote a letter and asked his cronies to hand it over to Yuan Shao, and the general content of his heart can be summed up in one sentence: If you rescue me, I will stand on your side in the future;

Yuan Shao was immediately overjoyed, if there was Kong Rong's support, the world's scholars would flock to him, and he Yuan Ben would have a bigger and stronger force;

didn't say anything, Yuan Shao sent the former Qingzhou Assassin Shi Qian He as the commander, Fu Zhu and Tian Feng joined the army, Zhang He was the vanguard, led 50,000 soldiers, and came all the way from the Bohai Sea to reinforce, Qian He was just a puppet, and the real main thing was Fu Zhu and Tian Feng;

It can be said that now it is the Han Dynasty that has lost its deer and the world is chasing it, maybe the residual power of the Han Dynasty for more than 400 years still exists, but there are still some people who have foresight, they know that it is better to support than to break and then stand, and this way will also allow them to get greater benefits;

Among those who have this idea are Fu Zhu and Tian Feng, who have long been no longer loyal to the Han Dynasty, but are desperately working for Yuan Shao and helping him seize the world;

Speaking of which, the three of them, Tian Feng, and Zhang He, were all Han Fu's old subordinates, and Yuan Shao ordered them to get together and lead an army of 50,000 to fight against the Yellow Turban Army, which also made them feel Yuan Shao's trust, and they even raised Yuan Shao in their hearts to be the master, and vowed to fight this battle well to repay Yuan Gong;

After all, Zhang Ning hasn't read too many books, even if she is naturally smart, she is much more powerful than the people in the Yellow Turban Army, but if she is frustrated with celebrities and Tian Feng, who are rare in the world, it is not enough to read it at all; Even if the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Group Army is brave, even if they are not afraid of death to launch wave after wave of charges, it is only a futile effort;

The death hole of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban was quickly caught by the two, and the Yellow Turban Army, which lacked mobility, was overwhelmed to guard against Zhang He's harassing attack, and the old and weak Qingzhou Army in the rear of the attack was disheartened and did not dare to fight again;

At this time, Zhang Ning decisively gave up attacking Beihai, sent people to contact the Montenegrin army, and moved to the north; When I didn't want to pass by Taishan County, I encountered the tenacious sniper of Taishan County's hand Yingshao, and the two sides fought fiercely for several times, and the weakness of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Group Army that there was no strategist who could give advice was infinitely magnified, and after several battles, the losses were heavy;

At this time, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army wanted to bypass Mount Tai and join the Montenegrin Yellow Turban Army marching from Taihang Mountain through the Bohai region. They were unprepared during the rapid march, and near Dongguang, they encountered a surprise attack by Gongsun Zhan, sacrificing more than 30,000 people and losing tens of thousands of baggage.

Gongsun Chan is a cross-border thief, from Youzhou to the depths of Jizhou, on the one hand, he was moved by Yuan Shao again, promised him to eliminate the bandits, Yuan Shao expressed him as a pastor in Youzhou, and secondly, Gongsun Chan had the idea of demonstrating, so that Yuan Shao should not be too complacent, and don't think that he would not be taken seriously if he won a game;

The third is that once the Qingzhou Yellow Turban and the Montenegrin Army join forces, Jizhou will of course bear the brunt, and Gongsun Zhan's lair and his coveted Merge State will also fall under the threat of the Yellow Turban Army, which is not what Gongsun Chan wants to see, so Gongsun Chan worked very hard to eliminate the Yellow Turban Army;

A series of unsmooth made Zhang Ning impetuous, she commanded the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army to cross the Yellow River north, and was caught by the veteran Gongsun Chan again, their people just passed halfway, they were caught off guard by Gongsun Zhan's light cavalry, the front army panicked and hit the rear army, tens of thousands of dead, countless losses of chariots and property.

After their plan to attack Beihai and control the entire territory of Qingzhou failed, the decision to go north to join forces with the Montenegrin army to capture Jizhou was also shattered; The Black Mountain Army that attacked and responded to them and the Jizhou Army led by Yuan Shao personally fought and retreated, retreating back to the mountains and not daring to show their heads, which ruined the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans, and the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans became a lonely battle again; At this point they are also in a dilemma;

In front is the Gongsun Zan army that can fight well, behind is the fierce Yuan Shaobu Fu Zhu and Tian Feng army, and the east is the tenacious Taishan Ying Shao army, this is the enlarged version of the Wai San Que Yi, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army can only go west, there is no other way;

And to the west, it is - Yanzhou!
