Standing on the tower of Gaocheng County, seeing that the Yellow Turban Army was divided and outflanked by Zhang He's army not far away, the victory of the battle was decided, Ji Ping turned around and went back to the city, at first he and Zhang He divided his troops before going to the city to garrison, and now that Zhang He is back, he will naturally not interfere again.

Excessive seizure of power and meddling in decentralized affairs is a distrust of the ability of his subordinates, and he needs to do his best to cultivate a group of talents, especially a large number of historical generals and good strategies currently recruited, who are still young and need to grow and experience.

A master who is dedicated and all-encompassing is not a good lord, but a lord who can use people is a good lord.

However, not long ago, perhaps under the influence of Lu Mao, Gongsun Zhan suddenly appointed him as Gao Chengling, in charge of Gaocheng County, and Li Ru became the county minister.

For this appointment, Ji Ping felt quite weird, he was a lord but came here to make a county order, and it was appointed by another prince, Sun Zhan, it is indeed a little funny, but Ji Ping's personality is also a little casual, the county order is the county order, although the sparrow is small, it is also a good experience and experience.

Back in the county government, Ji Ping temporarily let go of the big battle in front of him, but put his vision and ideas on the overall situation.

Judging from the news collected during this time, it is now a stormy situation, he and Li Ru have analyzed for a long time, the Yellow Turban Army is going north to Jizhou at this time, and there should be a very important goal, that is, to join the Black Mountain Army, and not to plot any Youzhou, but Gongsun Chan is afraid of what happens, and Yuan Shao will give up the rich Bohai County to Gongsun Zhan, with Gongsun Zhan's strong character, he will naturally not let the things in the bag be invaded by the Yellow Turban.

Regarding the battlefield between Gongsun Chan and the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, Ji Ping also analyzed with Li Ru and roughly determined that it should be in the Dongguang area of Bohai County. It is the middle of Nanpi and Qingzhou in Bohai County, because it is on the border of Bohai County. Moreover, the terrain is wide, which is most suitable for cavalry attacks.

If the battlefield is further back. The loss of Bohai County is too great, which must be what Gongsun Chan does not want to see, and the battlefield is further south, it is not suitable for large-scale cavalry operations, and now Gongsun Chan will not dare to be careless with 30,000 against 300,000.

At this time, the situation on the battlefield in Jizhou was ready to go.

On the battlefield of Dongjun, old friends Cao Cao and Bao Xin have already begun to act, and the two join forces to fight against the invading Montenegrin army. On this battlefield, Ji Ping let Liu Bei and Zhang Fei take action, and the two of them made extraordinary moves, first defeating the thousands of Montenegrin troops harassing Hanoi County, and then counterattacking and entering Dong County.

Liu Bei undoubtedly understood Ji Ping's meaning, and occupied Yanjin and Yan counties adjacent to Hanoi County in Dongjun County with Zhang Fei, and inserted their forces into Yanzhou, which can be regarded as a chess piece.

And for the hundreds of thousands of Montenegrin troops still entrenched in Taihang Mountain. Xun You ordered Xu Huang and Dian Wei to attack on the one hand, and adopted the strategy of surrendering Zhang Yan on the other hand, and Xun You analyzed Ji Ping in detail in his letter.

Zhang Yan's original name was Chu Yan, after the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Rebellion in the first year of Zhongping. Chu Yan gathered a group of teenagers as thieves and attacked in the mountains and rivers for less than a year. The army expanded to more than 10,000 men. The following year, Zhang Niujiao, a Boling person, also gathered a group of people. Claiming to be a general, he joined forces with Chu Yan. Chu Yan elected Zhang Niujiao as the leader. Entering the army to attack Gauntao, Zhang Niujiao was shot by a stray arrow, seriously wounded, and before dying, he ordered his subordinates to honor Chu Yan as the leader. Chu Yan also changed her surname to Zhang and was called Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan is as light as a swallow, and brave and good at fighting, in the Taihang Mountain thieves are becoming more and more famous, and Changshan, Zhaojun, Zhongshan, Shangdang, Hanoi and other places of the rebels colluded with each other, the bandits were attached to Zhang Yan, Zhang Yan's troops soon developed to nearly one million people, known as the "Black Mountain Army", but the court was unable to send troops to encircle and suppress.

After the development of the power of the Montenegrin army, Zhang Yan sent an envoy to the capital city of Luoyang, and wrote to the imperial court to request surrender, and Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty appointed Zhang Yan as the general of the Ping Nan Zhonglang, so that he could manage the administrative and public security affairs in the mountainous areas north of the Yellow River, and could recommend filial piety to the imperial court every year, and sent officials to Luoyang to report.

Therefore, Zhang Yan is also a court official, and his Black Mountain Army is not as desperate as the Yellow Turban Army to resist the court.

And just half a month ago, Xu Huang's army intercepted an envoy sent by Dong Zhuo to meet Zhang Yan in the Taihang Mountains, and this envoy was actually Dong Zhuo's Jizhou Assassin Hushou appointed from Chang'an, planning to unite with Zhang Yan and plot against Jizhou.

Xun You made a plan, and while ordering Xu Huang to continue to suppress, he recruited Zhang Yan in the name of the king of Hedong, but on the surrender book, a seal of the jade seal of the country was added.

Ji Ping obeyed Xun You's strategy, he believed in Xun You's strategy, which was a great talent that could make Cao Cao the mastermind, and he was much stronger than him in terms of strategy, and it would not be a problem to deal with a Zhang Yanzi. Moreover, recruiting Zhang Yan and these Black Mountain Army is much easier to deal with than recruiting the Yellow Turban Army or the family forces, and there will not be too many troubles.

On the side of the Taihang Black Mountain Army, Ji Ping didn't have to be distracted, but he reminded Xun You that he tried not to expose the relationship between Shangdang and Hedong, he wanted to use this to confuse many people. Because the news of King Shenwu in Hedong is almost well-known, and many people also know about the northward entry into the state, but the strategic shape of Hedong is not very good, and there are foreign enemies such as Xianbei in the state, so these princes can ignore the power of Hedong in the conquest and do their own thing.

But if they learned about the relationship between Hedong and Shangdang, it would be different, the strategic position of Shangdang was too important, and it was a great threat to Jizhou first, if Yuan Shao knew that Xun You was also attached to Ji Ping, it would be difficult to sleep and eat, and it would be difficult to let go and fight with Gongsun Zhan.

Similarly, the news that Ji Ping himself and Zhang He are in Jizhou is also secret, his power in Gongsun Zhan's army is almost completely separated from the forces in Hedong and Bingzhou, and the county soldiers he brought are all local soldiers in Jizhou such as Zhongshan, and they rarely have contact, except for Lu Zhi, Zhang Liao, Dian Wei and other henchmen, most officials and generals in Hedong and Hanoi do not know where Ji Ping is now.

Because he is also dancing on the tip of a knife now, and there are other forces on all sides, and if he is not careful, he will be crushed to pieces.

On the Ruoyang side, Dong Zhuo's minions Hu Zhen and Li Dao went south to Yingchuan counties and plundered on a large scale, and Yuan Shu's army was gathered in Nanyang, so that Nanyang escaped a catastrophe.

However, Ji Ping ordered Tang Fang to secretly unite with Zhu Jun, the world's famous general stationed in Zhongmu, to promote the second crusade against Dong Zhuo, on the one hand, to trap Dong Zhuo to the west of Hangu Pass, and not to give Guanzhong Chang'an a chance to expand, otherwise Dong Zhuo, once the tiger shows its claws, it will be very difficult to clean up.

On the other hand, it was to deal with Dong Zhuo's previous crusade against the puppet king's traitors in Chang'an, because as long as the Kwantung Prefectures came forward to crusade against Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo's previous proclamation was a laughing stock, because no one responded.

The second crusade against Dong Zhuo included Xuzhou Thorn Shi Tao Qian, the former Yangzhou Thorn Shi Zhou Qian, Xuzhou Lang Evil Xiang Yin De, Xuzhou Donghai Xiang Liu Kui, Xuzhou Pengcheng Xiang Ji Lian, Qingzhou Beihai Xiang Kong Rong, Yuzhou Pei Xiang Yuan Zhong, Yanzhou Taishan Taishou Ying Shao, Yuzhou Runan Taishou Xu Jue, the former Jiujiang Taishou Qian, and Dr. Zheng Xuan, but many of them are pseudonyms, such as the former Yangzhou Thorn Shi Zhou Qian, the former Jiujiang Taishou Fuqian, and the Doctor Zheng Xuan have no strength at all.

Although Ji Ping also made some efforts, the second crusade against Dong Zhuo was more ridiculous than the first one, only Xuzhou Assassin Shi Taoqian sent 3,000 elite soldiers, and other states and counties only sent hundreds of county soldiers, a total of only 6,000 people, even if Tang Fang and Zhu Jun's men and horses were added, the total was only 15,000 people.

Fortunately, Ji Ping did not expect any results from the second attempt against Dong, the main purpose was only to disperse, harass and delay Dong Zhuo's troops, prevent Dong Zhuo from taking the opportunity to attack Hedong, and use this incident to cover up and weaken the influence of Dong Zhuo's message.

Moreover, Ji Ping asked Tang Fangjian yì Tao Qian and other princes to play Zhu Jun as the general of the chariot and cavalry, this means seems to be nothing, but in fact it has a great impact.

Because Yuan Shao is currently leading himself as a chariot general, Ji Ping asked Tang Fangjian to play Zhu Jun as a chariot general, which will only make Yuan Shao resentful of these princes, and virtually push these princes to the opposite side of Yuan Shao.

The other princes can also say that the Xuzhou Thorn Shi Taoqian and Taishan Taishou Yingshao are related to the next battle situation in Qingxu, and even the confrontation between the great Confucian Zheng Xuan and Yuan Shao will also invisibly weaken Yuan Shao's status and influence among the scholars.

Just like the brocade night walk, Ji Ping has done a lot of things in secret, changing or speeding up a lot of historical processes, so that the shape shì gradually develops in his own favorable direction. (To be continued......)
