Frustrated with a raised brow, he asked Yuan Shao: "Lord, I don't know how many men and horses Chun Yu Qiong's army has lost?" ”

Yuan Shao read the document carefully, his face became even more strange, and after a while, he said in surprise: "Chun Yuqiong took 10,000 cavalry soldiers to the battle, 3,000 killed, 3,000 captured, and more than 3,000 remnants......"

Frustrated and frowned again, he said: "Lord, everything should be prioritized, put aside the matter of Liyang for the time being, let it be dealt with later, if it is not allowed to return to Changshan, it is said that Zhang Yan is trying to plot at the moment, why not make it fight!" And the only urgent task for our army now is to fight with Gongsun Zhan Jieqiao, which is related to the life and death of our army. ”

Yuan Shao thought for a while, and resolutely said: "The public and his words are reasonable!" Break Gongsun Chan first, and then figure out this matter! The post of Liyang Taishou is already vacant, this is where Jizhou is guarded, and no one can be stationed, so Jiang Yiqu can replace him! ”

In a short time, the chamber was empty. Only Yuan Shao was left alone in the hall, his eyes thoughtful, and he muttered to himself

“…… Liyang ...... Chun Yuqiong...... Wen Zixiao! ”

This can be regarded as a concession by Yuan Shao to Wen Chou, and he can't help it, because Gongsun Zhan's soldiers have already gone south aggressively. The coveting of Jizhou made Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan, the two Hebei overlords, have to fight.

In this way, Wen Chou was able to return to Changshan Country smoothly, but before that, he had a clearer understanding of the future. That is, taking advantage of the opportunity of Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao's crusade against each other, they will subdue the Montenegrin army that has plagued Jizhou for a long time, which is quite a big project, after all, the Montenegrin army in Jizhou is also a million, and the official soldiers are not less than seventy or eighty thousand, otherwise they will not be in trouble for a long time, and they cannot be completely suppressed by the government. It's a challenge.

As for Wen Chou's idea, his masterminds Tian Feng and Xun Yu also agree very much. After all, Yuan Shao, who integrated Jizhou, and Gongsun Zhan, who integrated Youzhou, are not what Wen Chou can resist now, and only by further development can he truly join the hegemony of Hebei, and if he wants to grow again, then the Montenegrin Army represented by Zhang Yan is undoubtedly a good object.

However, although Yuan Shao was forced to make concessions due to the current situation, it is an indisputable fact that he ruined the family of the former Jizhou Mu Hanfu. And Wen Chou was promoted by Han Fu in a sense, so he had to say something about this matter, and at the same time as killing Chun Yuqiong, he played a big banner of seeking justice for Han Gong, and said everything about Yuan Shao's mistakes, so that he could squeeze Yuan Shao in righteousness, at least nominally without Yuan Shao's control, and be able to smoothly control Changshan, and even the giant deer, Zhongshan and other counties around Changshan! So as to fight against Yuan Shao in Jizhou!

But other than that, Wen Chou didn't have time to make any more moves. Because as Fu Zhu said, the current Changshan Kingdom is being attacked by Zhang Yan and other Montenegrin troops! Among them, it should be said that without the instigation of Yuan Shao's forces, Wen Chou would not have believed it if he was killed. Therefore, after the Wenchou army solved Chun Yuqiong, they went north to Changshan Country non-stop.

Even passing by Yecheng, Wen Chou passed directly without avoiding suspicion, which shows the urgency of his actions, and also has the meaning of showing off his might. However, Yecheng is the base camp of Yuan Shao, according to Wen Chou's estimate. There should be no less than thirty or forty thousand troops! And Yuan Shao's entire army should have as many as seventy or eighty thousand people, and of course, some counties were not included in Yuan Shao's forces. But it won't be long before I think about it.

On November 23, the first year of the First Peace, Wen Chou finally led the army back to Changshan Kingdom, which was the first return after leading the army for more than half a year. However, the difference from last time is that Wen Chou's military strength has become even stronger, nearly doubling! And that's not even counting the development of Changshan Base Camp.

At present, the army of Wen Chou. It can reach 50,000 people when it is full! The 30,000 soldiers brought back by his Chinese ugly and the number of soldiers recruited and trained by Li Jin, Liu Zhong, Tie Qian and others in Changshan reached 20,000!

This is something Wen Chou didn't expect, and such a large-scale recruitment of training soldiers is also because of pressure from Zhang Yan! Since Wen Chou led his troops to Yingchuan, Zhang Yan has not broken his heart to enter the Changshan Kingdom. It was Liu Zhong, Tie Qian and others who recruited troops like this. Fortunately, in the past two years, Wenchou has a lot of grain reserves. is a 50,000-strong soldier, and Wen Chou can still afford it.

At present, there are Tian Feng, Tian Chou, Xun Yu, Xun Yan, Guo Jia, Li Jin, Li Xuan, Jiang Xian, etc.; There are Zhao Yun, Yan Liang, Dian Wei, Wen Ba, Han Meng, Xu Rong, Li Gan, Li Dian, Lu Liang, Xiahou Lan, etc., which can be described as complete and unprecedented. In addition, there are Wen Ji, Liu Qing, Dong Zhi, Liu Zhong, Tie Qian, Guo Daxian and other generals, although it is still not comparable with those big forces in history, but standing in Changshan County, it is more than enough.

In addition, the agricultural and commercial development of Changshan Country controlled by Wen Chou can be said to have a considerable scale, not only with an abundant population, but also with one heart. This is a big reliance on Wenchou's external expansion, and at the same time, in the education of the county people and the cultivation of future talents, a quite good system has also been formed within the jurisdiction of Wenchou, not only a large-scale school, but also a school monument, a library, etc., which is formed under the control of Jiang Hui and the strong support of Li Jin.

It can be said that Wen Chou does not have to worry about the shortage of middle and lower-level officials in the future, as long as he can capture the place, then there will be personnel to manage it. At this time, the advantages of Wenchou are slowly revealed, and the situation of mergers and separatism in the future will be further accelerated. It is to show the huge heritage of the ugliness that has been dormant for four or five years.

And for the first test force of all this, that is Zhang Yan, who is coming. These two forces have fought a lot, even if they don't fight and don't know each other, both sides have their own victories and defeats, but Wen Chou is gradually getting stronger in the battle, but Zhang Yan is eating the old book of the Zhongping years, and even if Zhang Yan and the Black Mountain thief forces represented by Zhang Yan and his representative, the smooth rise of the Wen Chou forces, so as to participate in the competition for the situation in Hebei.

It's just a matter of events. For this, Wen Chou has strong confidence, Tian Feng, Tian Chou, Zhao Yun, Yan Liang, etc. also have strong confidence, what they have to face is not Zhang Yan's problem, but how to face Gongsun Zhan and Yuan Shao after annexing Zhang Yan. That's what they're going to prepare. (To be continued.) )
