Xian Yufu was ordered by Liu He to lead 6,000 cavalry south to Jizhou to support Han Fu, and when he walked halfway, he met the trial who went to Jicheng for help, so he fooled him into the army and temporarily served as his military advisor.

Although the judge has a bad temper, he is actually a good person with a warm heart, he has a very good impression of Liu He, and even treats the generals sent by Liu He differently, so he is willing to help Xian Yufu give advice.

The trial told Xian Yufu that Zhang Zhan, the commander stationed at Wuruan Pass, had a younger brother named Zhang Yi, who was now Cao Peng in front of Sun Jin's account in Changshan, and won Sun Jin's respect and appreciation. Sun Jin has always been loyal to the Han family, and has great respect for Liu Yu, who represents the orthodoxy of the Han family, and once provided a lot of support to Liu Yu when he went south to Jizhou.

It was suggested that Xian Yufu directly lead the army to Changshan Zhisu Yuanshi, find Cao Peng Zhang Yi, and be recommended by him to meet Sun Jin, the prime minister of Changshan, replenish grain and grass in Changshan and even recruit county soldiers for his own use, and then send troops to the county to directly attack Yuan Shao's nest of hoarding grain and grass.

Xian Yufu had stayed in Jizhou with Liu He for more than a month, and he had a good understanding of the personality and ability of the trial, which was also the reason why he wanted to invite the trial to the army as a military advisor. The suggestion of the trial was very insightful, which made Xian Yufu Mao Se suddenly open, so he adopted it without hesitation and led the army straight to the county seat of Yuanshi.

A few days later, the army arrived on the north bank of the Hutuo River, and further on was Zhao Yun's hometown of Zhending County. Xu Miao asked Xian Yufu here to go to Zhending County, although Xian Yufu did not know Xu Miao's intentions, but also respected the opinion of this "wine and meat military division", so he sent Xu Miao a hundred cavalry as guards, and then continued to march south with soldiers and horses.

Xu Miao took 100 "propaganda backbones" into Zhending County, and then publicized the exploits of Zhao Yun, Xiahoulan and more than 200 Zhending heroes in Youzhou with great fanfare, affectionately told the touching story of Xiahoulan escorting the grain and grass of the army with the weak and strong by the water, and told the bloody deeds of Zhao Yun who went in and out three times to kill the Xianbei thieves by the water, and then called on the heroic Zhending Erlang to follow the footsteps of Zhao Yun and Xiahoulan, join the army, and establish meritorious deeds.

Sometimes, the power of role models is endless, especially when a freshly baked example has just been established, and the charisma is unimaginable.

Zhao Yun and Xiahou Lan are both from civilian backgrounds, and they do not have any connections and relatives in Youzhou, but they have been appreciated and reused by Liu Yu's father and son, and they have been in service for less than a year, and they have been in such prominent positions as Sima of the Captain's Mansion and Captain of the Northland, which is a good example of life, so without Xu Miao's words, it immediately attracted a large number of Zhending young people to come and defect.

Xu Miao had personally participated in the evaluation of the soldiers organized by Liu He in Macheng, so he was very experienced in how to select outstanding young men to enter the army, and he quickly recruited 3,000 recruits with a solid foundation for Liu He, as long as they trained a little, they could pick up the guys and go to the battlefield.

Xu Miao is also bold, not afraid that Jizhou Mu Hanfu and Changshan Xiang Sun Jin will have opinions on his practice of "crossing the line", so he is so blatantly recruiting recruits in Zhending County.

However, then again, Xu Miao can recruit 3,000 strong men just by using his tongue, that is his ability, if Han Fu and others come to recruit soldiers, the young men in Zhending County will only flee to Jingcheng Mountain when they hear the wind, and they are unwilling to join Han Fu's team.

There is no way, Han Fu is too cowardly, and there seems to be no other future and way out for him except to be beaten and bullied.

When Xu Miao was recruiting troops in Zhending County, Xian Yufu had already led the army to Yuanshi.

When Sun Jin, the prime minister of Changshan, heard that Taifu Liu Yu was attacked by Gongsun Zan in Youzhou, he also sent a large army to Jizhou to help in the war, and he was very moved, and personally led the officials of the county to go out of the city for ten miles to welcome the army of Xian Yufu into the city.

When entering the city, Sun Jin asked Xian Yufu in a low voice: "Xian Yudu, dare to ask if there are any foreign soldiers who go south this time?" ”

Xian Yufu suddenly laughed, comforted Sun Jin and said: "Lord Sun, don't worry, this time the soldiers I led are all children of the Han family, and there will definitely be no harassment of the people!" ”

It seems that Yan Rou really harmed Changshan a lot when he went south last time, and even a kind-hearted person like Sun Jin was full of complaints, for fear that there would be a second time.

The county seat of Yuanshi is located in the northwest of Gaoyi and Fangfang County, Jizhou, 60 miles away from Gaoyi and 50 miles away from Fangfang County. If you connect the three cities on the map, you will show an obtuse triangle, in which Yuanshi to Gaoyi is the longest side, Yuanshi to House County is the second longest side, and House County to Gaoyi is the shortest side.

Since Yuan Shao led his army to the north, Sun Jin, the prime minister of Changshan, was very vigilant and transferred all the available Yading officers in the county to the county seat to prevent Yuan Shao from leading the army to attack. Although Sun Jin's approach is a bit of a thing that he knows he can't do, it at least proves his temperament of not being afraid of power and daring to fight.

In history, after Liu Yu was killed by Gongsun Zhan, Changshan Xiang Sun Jin once scolded Gongsun Chan with Zhang Yi and Zhang Zhan brothers, and then committed suicide together, swearing to follow Liu Yu to the death. It can be seen that this Sun Jin is definitely a hard bone who is not afraid of death.

Things are gathered by like, and people are grouped. The trial is also a hard bone, and he is not afraid of cutting off his head, and after being caught by Cao Cao, he will face the position of Yuan Shang, the lord of the north, and die generously. The trial was able to recommend Sun Jin to Xian Yufu this time, which shows that he and Sun Jin are also like-minded.

After Sun Jin welcomed Xian Yufu into the city, he carefully introduced the current progress of the war in Jizhou to Xian Yufu, especially mentioning the things behind Zhang Yan's sneak attack on Yuan Shao. He also ordered his officials to do their best to replenish the army's food, grass, weapons and armaments, and took the initiative to hand over the 2,000 county soldiers who had been cobbled together to Xian Yufu, which showed his determination and attitude towards Yuan Shao to fight to the end.

Xian Yufu was not hypocritical, and used the county seat of Yuanshi as the guide for this southern expedition, and immediately sent scouts to reconnoiter the enemy situation near the house and Gaoyi, ready to attack Yuan Shao's troops at any time.

Tai Shici, who had been hidden in the army, took the initiative to ask Ying, asking to take a small force to cross Jishui south and connect with Zhang Yan's troops to see if he could get in touch with Zhang Yan and temporarily form an alliance to attack Yuan Shao together.

Yuan Shao's attack on Han Fu this time not only took the chief strategist Tian Fenghe to engage in Xin Ping, but also brought Wen Chou, Gao Ran and other generals with outstanding military force, and also accompanied by generals Zhang Xu, Guo Yuan, Jiang Qi, Su You, Zhang Yi, etc., which can be described as a luxurious lineup and a strong team.

Zhang Yan's sudden attack caused some trouble to Yuan Shao, but it was far from fatal, and when Yuan Shao came to his senses, he immediately organized an effective counterattack, defeating Zhang Yan's subordinates Sun Qing and Wang Dang. If it weren't for Zhang Yan personally leading the army to help in the battle, I was afraid that Sun Qing and Wang Dang would have died under the guns of the fierce general Gao Lan.

There are many reasons why the combat power of the Montenegrin army is so low. For example, the quality of the soldiers is not high, there is no standard weapons and armor, there is no strict and regular training, there are no smart and resourceful commanders, and there is no adequate logistical supply. These soldiers flocked to fight a tailwind battle, but once they encountered a strong counterattack, they were often defeated and fled, so they could not resist the regular troops under Yuan Shao's command.

After Yuan Shao repelled the sneak attack of the Montenegrin army, he turned his head and put the main direction of the attack on Gaoyi, because he knew that as long as Gaoyi was taken, not only could the troops and grain be effectively replenished, but also he could sit on the strong city and control the situation in Jizhou from now on.

There were only 5,000 defenders left in Gaoyi City, and in the face of Yuan Shao's tens of thousands of troops, there were already signs of collapse. Fortunately, at this critical time, the news that Xian Yufu led 10,000 cavalry to reinforce Gaoyi finally reached the city.

The arrival of Xian Yufu played a key role in improving the morale of the defenders of Gaoyi.

Yuan Shao, who was already preparing to enter Gaoyi, suddenly learned the news that Liu Yu had sent a cavalry to reinforce Gaoyi, and he could imagine how angry he would be. Last time, if it weren't for Liu Yu's son Liu He making trouble in Gaoyi, Yuan Shao would have been able to force Han Fu to give up Jizhou, and Yuan Shao still remembered this account, and now Liu Yu sent troops to reinforce him, which made him very annoyed.

Yuan Shao scolded angrily: "Is Liu Yu really not afraid of death? Now that Gongsun Chan is leading a large army to besiege him, he can still draw troops to reinforce Han Fu, he really values face more than anything else! ”

Engaged in Xin commented and said: "The Youzhou cavalry is brave and good at fighting, and the lord should not be taken lightly. Now that we are short of war horses, it is better to let Han Fu go for the time being, concentrate on dealing with the cavalry sent by Liu Yu, and strive to annihilate all of Xian Yufu's subordinates, so that we can get a large number of war horses! ”

Wen Chou took the initiative to invite Ying and said: "Xian Yu is a mediocre husband, and Xu Miao, the military advisor who came with him, is a famous drunkard in Jicheng. Liu Yu Pifu also has no one under the account, so he actually sent such a fish belly to Jizhou to help in the war, and asked the lord to allocate me an elite army, and the last general is willing to take the head of the lord in the auxiliary items! ”

Strategist Tian Feng slowly spoke: "General Wen must not underestimate the enemy! Although Xian Yufu and Xu Miao are mediocre, but the Youzhou cavalry is good at running and maneuvering, our army is mainly foot soldiers, and it may be advantageous to attack the city, but to encircle and annihilate the Youzhou cavalry, it is necessary to plan carefully, after all, our purpose in this battle is not to repel Xian Yufu, but to capture the high-grade war horses he brought. ”

From the words of these three people, it can be seen that Yuan Shao is indeed short of war horses, and he is also very jealous of Liu Yu and Gongsun Zhan, and can buy cheap and high-quality horses from the Xianbei and Wuhuan people.

Yuan Shao frowned and thought for a while, and said, "What Mr. Zhongzhi said is right, Han Fu can't do anything in Gaoyi City, even if he is allowed to survive for a while, it doesn't hurt. Since Liu Yu has to send me a war horse, how can I brush off his good intentions? ”

Tent Chinese Wu listened to Yuan Shao's funny words, so he laughed for a while, and it seemed that Xian Yufu had become a fish belly waiting to be slaughtered on the chopping board.
