After five days of fearful sailing, Liu Bei arrived safely in Zhuo County, but Lu Zhu did not send him directly to the shore, but stopped on an island more than thirty miles from the coast. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info camp has been prepared on the island, which is enough for Liu Bei's army. Faced with Liu Bei's doubts, Lu Zhu said, I just acted according to the customer's requirements, as for what happened, I think someone will explain to you soon.

Liu Bei was skeptical, but his doubts were quickly relieved. Gongsun Chan took more than 5,000 people and arrived on another cargo ship to the island. As soon as he saw Liu Bei with a nervous expression, Gongsun Zhan seemed to be very satisfied, and laughed uncontrollably.

"Liu Fujun's face is not good, it seems that he has not slept well in the past few days, I don't know if he is used to sea boats, or if he has something in his heart?"

Seeing Gongsun Zhan, Liu Bei was also a little embarrassed, but this emotion was only fleeting, he stepped forward and hugged Gongsun Zhan's shoulder affectionately, and patted it hard: "Brother Bo Zhan, I do have something in my heart." I haven't seen him for many years, and I've always missed Brother Boju, and now I feel relieved to see Brother Boju's heroic appearance as he was back then. Come, I have here the wine that Elk Jun brought from the Central Plains, and our senior brothers are not drunk today, and they will sleep on their feet. ”

Gongsun Zhan was angry, but he didn't want to get along with Liu Bei in front of Elk Zhu, so as not to be looked down upon. He pushed Liu Bei away silently, and said lightly: "At the moment of the war, how can you just care about drinking, or keep it, and wait for Yuan Shao's head to be cut off, and then drink the celebration wine." ”

Liu Bei was also angry, and said with a smile: "Brother Bo Jue is still the same as before, dedicated to the country. Brother, I really admire and admire. Come on, set up a map ......"

Gongsun Zhan interrupted Liu Bei's words, turned his head to Lu Zhu and said, "Lu Jun, I heard that you also brought a treasure for marching and fighting, you should also take it out, right?" ”

Elk Zhu smiled and went out for a while, not for long. Four strong men brought in a large case, lifted the cloth on the case, and it was a terrain model around Zhuo County. The mountains and rivers are clear at a glance, and they are extremely chic. Gongsun Chan and Liu Bei glanced at each other. I didn't care about fighting any more, so I threw myself in front of the model and looked at it. Liu Bei pondered for a moment, and suddenly understood: "This can't be the sand table used in my eldest brother's army, right?" ”

Lu Zhu smiled slightly: "Liu Fujun is really well-informed. After the sand table was naturally used in the army of His Royal Highness the King of Chu, the generals who had seen it said that it was very beneficial to the war, and now all the generals of one side will be equipped with a sand table when commanding the war. This sand table is usually made by the staff group accompanying the army, but considering that there is no military planning group in the Youzhou Theater, let me bring one for your reference. ”

Gongsun Chan straightened up and slowly exhaled. rubbed his palms vigorously: "This is a good thing, a plate in my hand, I have it in the world." ”

Liu Bei's eyes flashed, and he glanced at Lu Zhu: "This is indeed a treasure, especially in a strange area." If you have this treasure in your hand, you will have a bottom in your heart. ”

Elk Zhu smiled and didn't answer his words.

Gongsun Zhan then briefly introduced the military situation here to Liu Bei. He had already received a military order from the general Song Feng, ordering him to join Liu Bei and go up the Juma River and establish a position on the north bank of the Juma River. Prepare to intercept Yuan Shao's army to the north and cooperate with the army to capture Youzhou. In order to alleviate their pressure, Zhang Yan, the Yellow Turban Marshal of Changshan Country, is now preparing for an offensive to attract Yuan Shao's attention. If Yuan Shao's main force traveled west, they would seek an opportunity to capture Yi County, and then defend Yi County and block Yuan Shao's way to flee north.

Liu Bei pondered for a moment: "So, the general is going to enter the mouth of the flying fox?" ”

"It should be." Gongsun Zhan said: "The military capital is too dangerous, and there is still a considerable distance from Yi County, and it is difficult for the army to hide its whereabouts. Into the mouth of the flying fox, you can go straight to Zhongshan and enter the hinterland of Jizhou. ”

"But the Flying Fox Mouth is not easy to enter." Liu Bei said: "Although Yuan Shao is quite a prince of the family, there are still rules and regulations for the use of soldiers. The Flying Fox Pass is so important, how can he not defend it with heavy troops? ”

Gongsun Zhan shook his head: "Then we can't take care of it, our task is to hold the first line of Juma Water, if we can capture Yi County, then of course it will be great." ”

Liu Bei nodded: "Since this is the case, then we will discuss the war in Yi County." It's just that we are in the sea now, how can we know Yuan Shao's movements? ”

"I've already made arrangements for this. The scouts have gone deep into the interior, and as soon as there is news, a signal will be released, and I will arrange for the scouts among the fishermen to deliver the news to us. Gongsun Zhan waved his hand, "We will land immediately and kill Yi County." ”

……

Yuan Shao was furious and sneered. He had just received the news that Zhang Yan, the Yellow Turban Marshal entrenched in Changshan Country, suddenly sent troops to Zhongshan Country and was attacking Lunu and Shangquyang. At present, Gao Ran is trapped in the city of Lunu, unable to move, and sends someone to ask him for help.

Yuan Shao was not angry with Gao Lan, he was angry with Zhang Yan. After Zhao Yun withdrew from Jizhou, Zhang Yan was unable to support himself, and he was reluctant to operate Tuntian, which had been operating for many years, so he sent someone to Yuan Shao to express his hope that Yuan Shao could give the Yellow Turban Army a way out and not force them. At that time, Yuan Shao also wanted to take the Yellow Turban Army under his banner without bloodshed, so that tens of thousands of Jingrui soldiers could be added, so he agreed.

During this time, he has been negotiating with Zhang Yan. They thought that Zhang Yan was a delaying tactic in desperation, and they couldn't agree to him, so they should take advantage of Liu Xiu's struggle with the Son of Heaven to solve Zhang Yan first, and get control of the key points leading to the state. Yuan Shao vetoed it, the reason was to convince people with virtue, but now Zhang Yan slapped him hard.

Zhongshan can not help but save, Zhongshan is lost, the Flying Fox Pass is lost, after Song Feng takes Dai County, he can drive straight into the north of Jizhou quickly. It was precisely because of the importance of Zhongshan that Yuan Shao arranged Gao Ran in Lunu.

Yuan Shao urgently convened the generals to discuss the matter.

Everyone is not surprised that the war is coming, Song Feng wants to enter Jizhou from the north of Yanshan, either Feihukou or the military capital, to seize these two places, it is even more difficult to attack from north to south, this has been the truth proved by countless battles. As long as the water is not deliberately released, so far, there is no record of the two passes being lost. In fact, the Han fought with the Huns for so many years, fought with the Xianbei people, fought with the Wuhuan people, and never let them enter Jizhou, the battle was usually carried out in the north of Yanshan, and the horseshoe of the steppe peoples were rarely able to cross Yanshan, and they invaded the Central Plains, usually by Bingzhou to the south, either south to Hanoi, or through the Taihang Mountains to Jizhou.

If Song Feng wanted to capture the Flying Fox Pass and the military capital, the most likely way was to open it from the south to the north. Zhang Yan's attack on Zhongshan was intended to fly the fox mouth, in addition, Yuan Shao's focus on guarding against Gongsun Zhan and Liu Bei of Liaodong who had been wandering around Beiping on the right side, they might enter Zhuo County, reverse the military capital, and welcome the army into the pass.

Whether it is Zhang Yan, Gongsun Zhan, or Liu Bei, they are all the targets of Yuan Shao's key defense. They all knew that Yuan Shao was so angry, not because the war was unexpected, but because he was embarrassed. In other words, Yuan Shao, the dignified son of a family, was deceived by a yellow turban thief and wasted a great opportunity in vain, which caused today's passive situation. Yuan Shao had no place to put his face, so he covered his shame with anger.

Everyone knows it, so there is no need to discuss it further, send troops to Zhongshan Kingdom, defeat Zhang Yan, and wipe out the Yellow Turban Army. Even Fu Zhu didn't stop him, he just reminded Yuan Shao not to forget Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei in the east, but this is tantamount to saying in vain. Gongsun Zan is still in Youbeiping, and he can't reach Zhuo County for a while, as for Liu Bei, it is thousands of miles away, and if he wants to suddenly appear in Zhuo County, it is simply impossible.

The soldiers were fast, and Yuan Shao immediately led 20,000 cavalry to Zhongshan, and was left to defend the city.

After two days of rapid marching, Yuan Shao arrived in Zhongshan. Hearing that Yuan Shao led the main force to help, Zhang Yan didn't dare to be careless, she knew that Yuan Shao had more than 10,000 Hu cavalry, and for the Yellow Turban Army, which lacked war horses and did not have formed cavalry at all, it was definitely unreasonable to use foot soldiers to defend the impact of cavalry. She immediately led the army out of Zhongshan and sent someone to explain to Yuan Shao that she hoped to renegotiate with Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao received Zhang Yan's letter, and he was so angry that he scolded, he had already lost a big face this time, how could he be fooled again. He ordered the army to pursue westward, and this time he would not stop without cutting off Zhang Yan's head.

Yuan Shao chased wildly, Zhang Yan didn't seem to expect it at all, he couldn't retreat in time, and he was surrounded by Wuji County. Yuan Shao ordered the Wuji County to be surrounded, and while shouting to the people in the city, asking them not to give Zhang Yan their lives, he ordered to build siege equipment and prepare to storm Wuji. Wuji is just a county town, although it is on the border, and the city wall is not short, but the scale is limited after all, Yuan Shao has enough confidence to conquer Wuji in one fell swoop, seize Zhang Yan, and cut off her head.

In Wuji City, on the corner tower of the Zhen family, Zhang Yan was wearing fish scale armor and a snow-white coat, holding clairvoyance to look at the camp of the Yuan army outside the city. She looked at it for a moment, entered the clairvoyance, and sneered: "Yuan Benchu's battles in the past few years have been in vain, and there is no progress at all. ”

A little girl with pink makeup and beautiful eyebrows stood beside her, pulling the hem of her clothes, tilting her head and asking, "Auntie, is Yuan Shao stupid?" He is a member of the Yuan family, alas, when I heard my brother and them mention Yuan Shao, they all admired him. ”

Zhang Yan laughed and touched the bun on the little girl's head: "The Yuan family used to be very strong, but it doesn't mean that the people of the Yuan family are very smart. There are many sons of families who are like your pillow, with beautiful embroidered flowers on the outside, but just some old wadding on the inside. Your brother, they only look at their appearance, so they think Yuan Shao is very smart. You have to learn to see the essence through the appearance, and you will know that Yuan Shao is actually not very good. Zhang Yan squatted down, handed her the clairvoyant, and encouraged: "Take a look, see if there is any difference between Yuan Shao and ordinary people?" ”

The little girl's eyes lit up, and she carefully held the clairvoyance: "Auntie, can I really see it?" ”

"Absolutely."
