Yecheng, the state pastoral house.

Yuan Shao sat at the top, looking at Xun Chen, Han Fu and others below, his face sinking like water.

After seizing Jizhou, Yuan Shao checked various affairs, but suddenly found that the granary in Yecheng was almost empty! He immediately summoned Xun Chen and others to inquire, only to learn that just three months ago, Han Fu lent all the food to Shangdang Xun You.

Yuan Shao was angry in an instant, most of the joy of seizing Jizhou a few days ago was gone, in his eyes, Jizhou was already in his bag, Han Fu borrowed grain, obviously borrowing his grain, digging his heart.

More than two million stones! That's enough food for an army of 100,000 to eat for a year! At present, there are 20,000 people in his descendants and the army collected in Jizhou, and these two million stones are the food of his 20,000 army for five years! What's more, among the two million stone grains, not only Yecheng, but also Julu County also lent a lot.

Without these two million stone grains, his development in Jizhou will be greatly restricted for at least a year, which will have a great impact on his duel with Gongsun Zhan.

As soon as he thought of this, Yuan Shao's heart was like a drop of blood, he gritted his teeth, and he stared at Han Fu below without saying a word...... And Xun Chen! This grain was lent to Shangdang Xun You, and Xun You was Xun Chen's nephew, even though Xun Chen was one of the main helpers for him to enter Jizhou, but Yuan Shao began to doubt Xun Chen from the bottom of his heart at this moment.

Yuan Shao didn't say a word, and Han Fu, Xun Chen, Guo Tu, Xin Ping and others were also silent in this dull atmosphere, in fact, except for Han Fu himself, even Xun Chen didn't know why Han Fu would lend two million stones to Xun You, not to mention Guo Tu and others, so they were only silent.

But Han Fu, who has always been cowardly, insisted at this time. No matter how Yuan Shao asked, he didn't say the reason for borrowing grain. Guo Tu and the others on the side were a little surprised.

In fact, what they didn't know was that the reason why Han Fu didn't say Ji Ping. It's not loyalty, it's cowardice. But the object of this fear is Dian Wei, who warned him before leaving!

Just half a day ago, Han Fu heard that Dian Wei had taken the frustration out of the north gate of Yecheng, just one person, with two green dragon halberds, he killed more than fifty soldiers! In Han Fu's eyes, the fierce and vicious Dian Wei was ten thousand times more terrifying than Yuan Shao, so he didn't dare to say it.

"General Han." After being silent for a long time, Yuan Shao looked at Han Fu. Said slowly: "There is no need to say much about borrowing grain before, but if there is a loan, it must be returned, and I also ask General Han to go to the party and ask Xun You to return my grain from Jizhou!" Now that the Black Mountain thieves are raging, I will send the capital officials to engage in Zhu Han to protect each other all the way. ”

"This ......" Han Fu was stunned and raised his head to look at Yuan Shao. A little hesitant, but when he saw a flash in Yuan Shao's eyes, he couldn't help but shudder, and subconsciously responded: "Yes......"

His heart was full of resentment at this time. When he borrowed grain, he was still the pastor of Jizhou, and this Jizhou was still his. How to deal with it is his business, but he didn't expect him to give Jizhou Mu to Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao not only did not think of his kindness, but complained that he borrowed food. Moreover, Yuan Shao sent Zhu Han to accompany him. Zhu Han has always complained about himself in his heart, and Yuan Shao sent Zhu Han to monitor himself.

He borrowed grain at that time and related to Yuan Shao's bird matter! At this time, Han Fu hated himself for not lending all the food in Jizhou to Ji Ping at the beginning, and let Yuan Shao starve to death! Let Gongsun Chan destroy this hypocritical guy!

Yuan Shao, the head of the family, naturally didn't know what Han Fu was thinking, but looked at Xun Chen again, and said in a deep voice: "Youruo, Shangdang Xun Gongda is your nephew, and you need to go to Shangdang with Han Fu on this trip, so as to get back the borrowed grain." ”

Xun Chen seemed to have expected Yuan Shao's words, but just surrendered his fate.

Xu You, Feng Ji and Guo Tu on the side flashed joy in their eyes almost at the same time, in their eyes, Xun Chen is definitely a comparable opponent, and now that Yuan Shao has just become the pastor of Jizhou, it is the time for power to be distributed, and it will take at least three months for Xun Chen to go, and they will have one less competitor.

After Han Fu and Xun Chen left, Yuan Shao breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Xu You, Feng Ji, Guo Tu and others below, and said, "Now that Gongsun Zhan is going south, Chen Bing Julu, with what you can see, how should you deal with it?" ”

Xu You smiled, stroked his beard and said: "Why should the lord hesitate, according to the previous discussion, delay the grandson, and break the black mountain first." Secretly cede Bohai County, Hejian Kingdom, Zhongshan County, and Changshan Country to Gongsun Zhan, and delay with it, Changshan Country and Zhongshan County are the land of Black Mountain thieves, if Gongsun Zan takes it, he will break the covenant with the Black Mountain Thieves, and Hejian Country and Bohai County are close to Qingxu, and Qingxu 300,000 yellow scarves will enter Bohai County at any time, Gongsun Chan will inevitably be difficult to care about when he arrives, and the Lord Justice will take the opportunity to pacify the Black Mountain thieves, establish a stable foundation, and fight Gongsun Chan again. ”

Yuan Shao groaned: "What should Gongsun Zan do if he ignores Bohai County? ”

Feng Ji hurriedly said: "Bohai County is close to Youzhou, Gongsun Chan can ignore it, but the lord can secretly send a message to Liu Yu, Liu Yu heard that the Yellow Turban is going north, and it will inevitably make Gongsun Chan resist." ”

At this time, Guo Tu on the side suddenly spoke: "Gongsun Chan is now sharp and difficult, the lord can secretly provoke Gongsun Chan to appoint the official of the two thousand stone guards of the assassin Shi County, this is a great rebellion, Liu Yu has always been loyal to the Han family, if Gongsun Chan does it, it will be jealous of Liu Yu, so that it will fall into isolation and helplessness." ”

Yuan Shao's eyes lit up, but Xu You and Feng Ji glanced at Guo Tu at the same time, and their eyes flickered.

Xu You hurriedly said: "Lord, now Dong Zhuo has retreated to Hangu Pass, and Changsha is too guarded by Sun Jian to rely on Yuan Highway, and the troops have entered Luoyang, which is known as the history of Yuzhou's assassination. ”

A trace of gloom flashed in Yuan Shao's eyes, and he snorted: "Sun Jian is just a martial artist, and his plan to help the highway is not small, how can he let him ruin my Yuan's reputation, do you have a plan?" ”

The interrogator who didn't open his mouth just now said: "The lord, Danyang guards Zhou Xin too much, so Jiujiang guards Zhou Ang and his brother Zhou Qiao, all serve the lord, but they are separated by Yan and Henan, and it is difficult to help each other far away. ”

"It's a good plan in the south." Yuan Shao stroked his palms and smiled, and said: "You immediately prepare a table, and Zhou Ang is the assassin of Yuzhou, Zhong Jian, you personally go to Yangzhou to see Zhou Ang and pass the order to him." ”

The trial and Chun Yuqiong received orders at the same time.

……

Nanyang, Taishou Mansion, a hidden living room.

Yuan Shu, the slightly blessed rear general, sat there and poured himself a drink, and a middle-aged scribe below was pointing at him and reprimanded sharply: "Yuan Highway, I have the secret edict of the Son of Heaven, go to see my father, call soldiers and horses to meet me, how dare you detain me, bad for the Son of Heaven!" This is a great rebellion! Great rebellion! ”

Yuan Shu raised his head and said with a smile: "Liu Shizhong, and don't be impatient, if there is chaos today, the Yellow Turban, Black Mountain, and White Wave thieves are raging, Gongsun Zan and Han Fu have bad intentions, and Youzhou Road is far away, I am afraid that there will be an accident on your road, and it will ruin the great affairs of the Son of Heaven, and leaving you here is to protect you and be loyal to the Son of Heaven." ”

"Yuan Shu!" The middle-aged scribe pointed at Yuan Shu, trembling with anger, unable to say a word.

He was ordered by Liu Xie in Guanzhong, and with the help of Situ Wang Yun, he sneaked out of Wuguan to contact Liu He, who was rescued by his father Liu Yu!

However, when passing through Nanyang, Liu He saw that Yuan Shu was strong, so he informed Yuan Shu of the meaning of the secret edict, hoping that Yuan Shu would assist his father Liu Yu in sending troops, but Yuan Shu, who was born in the fourth world and the third duke, detained him, which made Liu He anxious.

"Yuan Shu, you detained me, whoever goes to deliver the message to my father will not spoil the great affairs of the Son of Heaven." At this time, Liu He still had some luck with Yuan Shu.

Hearing Liu He's questioning, Yuan Shu said with a smile: "Don't worry about Liu Shizhong, I have sent someone to send a letter to Liu Youzhou, I believe that in just three months, Liu Youzhou will send troops and horses to come." ”

Yuan Shu said, a hint of greed flashing in his eyes.

Liu He sat paralyzed on the ground, his expression was a little dazed, he didn't know whether to believe Yuan Shu or not, but he felt that when he came out of the gate this time, Yuan Shu who was the first to meet seemed to have become Dong Zhuo at the beginning, so what about the other princes? Maybe they were all Dong Zhuo in the first place, but they didn't have Dong Zhuo's opportunity.

……

Julu County, Handan.

Gongsun Zhan's army was stationed here, looking at Wei County, where Yecheng was located, and on the border of Wei County, Yuan Shao's 10,000 soldiers and horses were also stationed against Gongsun Zhan.

Early in the morning, before dawn, in the military camp that stretched for dozens of miles, Ji Ping and Zhang He were running with more than 600 recruits under their command.

However, their move drew ridicule from those Youzhou soldiers who had just gotten up.

"Haha! These fools, they are killed in battle, not run out......"

"Weak! It's too weak! When they go to the battlefield, they are sent to death......"

"Maybe they're not practicing escaping, maybe they'll be able to run fast when the time comes...... Ha ha! ”

The ridicule from all around made Ji Ping and Zhao Yun's recruits a little embarrassed, and many of them just lowered their heads and ran quickly, not even daring to raise their heads all the way.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Yun ignored the mocking Youzhou soldiers, and said in a deep voice to the county soldiers behind him: "The soldiers under General Gongsun are all heroes who have experienced a hundred battles and fought with foreign races. ”

During the run, many county soldiers slowly raised their heads, but Zhao Yun's words were not as good, which still made some people unconvinced, and some people were depressed.

Ji Ping, who was beside Zhao Yun, pursed his lips and said, "With Zilong and me taking the lead, what are you ashamed of!" They laughed at theirs, we ran ours, went to the battlefield, but two sentences, one is to survive, the other is to kill the enemy, thousands of miles of running, long-distance battles, can't run, how to go to the battlefield, can't run fast, how to kill the enemy. One day, when the fire burns, they will follow us and eat ashes, and they will not be able to catch up. Remember, stick to the daily running exercises, and when they are strong, we turn around and laugh at them. ”

Zhao Yun's righteous encouragement was not as real as Ji Ping's heartfelt words, and all the recruits couldn't help but raise their heads and speed up their pace.

Back in the camp, Ji Ping and Zhao Yun went to see Tian Kai, it has been two days, and the armor and weapons mentioned by Gongsun Zhan have not yet been issued, and even the military rations have not been eaten.

Although he felt that his behavior of joining Gongsun Zhan's hands was a bit obscene, he was also temporarily working for Gongsun Zhan, with no weapons, no armor, and no food, so he and Zhao Yun wanted to ask for an explanation. (To be continued......)
