After roughly reading the words written on the silk, Guan Jing pinched the silk silk, looked at Gongsun Zhan, who was still pacing back and forth in the house, and said to Gongsun Zhan: "When such a good thing comes, how can the general be worried?" ”

"A good thing?" Hearing Guan Jing say this, Gongsun Zhan turned his head to look at him, and said with a blank expression: "The army leaves Jizhou, once Yuan Shao leads the army to attack, Jizhou will have no available soldiers." If General Ben didn't go to help King Hongnong, he would definitely be chased for the crime of not being a minister afterwards, such a dilemma, why did Changshi say that it was a good thing? ”

"King Hongnong was once the honor of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, and now the little emperor sitting in the Chang'an court is just a puppet that Dong Zhuo is arrogant about abolishing and forcibly supporting." Twisting the piece of silk in his hand, Guan Jing had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and said to Gongsun Zhan: "What General Gongsun Fan said in his letter is very clear, this time to conquer the Yellow Turban, King Hongnong only led less than 20,000 soldiers and horses into the Bohai Sea. The general has tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and he will wait until he defeats the Yellow Turban thieves, and then he will ...... King Hongnong"

"What does Changshi mean ......?" Without waiting for Guan Jing to finish speaking, Gongsun Zhan was already stunned for a moment, opened his eyes, stared at Guan Jing for a long time, and then waved his hand and said, "No, no." King Hongnong arrived in the Bohai Sea, and if General Ben put him under house arrest, all the heroes and powerful people would definitely crusade against General Ben like they did against Dong Zhuo......"

"How can the general be called house arrest if he treats him politely?" As soon as Gongsun Zhan rejected Guan Jing's proposal, Guan Jing hurriedly said to him: "As long as King Hongnong is left in Jizhou and he is helped to regain the throne, the world will ......."

Having said this, Guan Jing's eyes flashed with a touch of cunning brilliance.

Turning his head to look at Guan Jing, after a long time, Gongsun Zhan nodded, as if he had made a lot of determination, and said to him: "In this case, General Ben will gather his troops and horses and go to Bohai to help King Hongnong defeat the remnants of the Yellow Turban!" ”

Gongsun Zhan led the army to the Bohai Sea, and Liu Wei was also greeted by Gongsun Fan and led the army to enter the overlap.

As the sun set, Liu Wei stood at the head of the overlapping city, looking at the south. It has been several days since he was stationed in the area, and every day he would send a horse to investigate the war in the Yanzhou area, but he never received the news that the Qingzhou Yellow Turban was broken by Cao Cao and transferred to the Bohai Sea.

A fast horse galloped from the south in the remnant glow, and on horseback was a scout of Liu Weijun wearing a big red armor.

Seeing the figure of the scout, Liu Wei, who was standing on the city wall and looking into the distance, suddenly lifted his spirits, and his fingers on the battlements also subconsciously tightened.

"Report!" Before dusk, the city gate was not closed, the fast horse galloped across the suspension bridge on the moat outside the city, rushed into the city, the scout turned over and jumped off the horse, ran up to the city quickly, half knelt in front of Liu Wei, and said to him with a fist: "Yanzhou Mu Cao Cao defeated the Qingzhou Yellow Turban in the Shouzhang area, and Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei, was killed in battle, and Cao Cao has retreated to the Puyang area. Hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban thieves wanted to retreat to Qingzhou to replenish grain and grass, but Yuan Shao's general Zang Hong recently occupied Qingzhou, making the Yellow Turban thieves completely cut off the possibility of supply! ”

"Can the Yellow Turban Thieves show signs of heading north to the Bohai Sea?" Hearing that Cao Cao was defeated by Yu Shouzhang, Liu Wei frowned, and hurriedly asked the scout.

"There is no sign of this!" Liu Wei asked if there were any signs of the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans going north, and the scout hurriedly replied: "Zang Hong guards the Qingzhou area, and the defense is very strict, even if the Yellow Turban thieves have the intention to go north, they will definitely be strongly intercepted." ”

Waving his hand at the scout, Liu Wei turned around again, holding the battlements with both hands, and looked to the far south.

The Qingzhou army did not advance north, originally after they repelled Cao Cao, they could also enter the Qingzhou area to supply, but the appearance of Zang Hong cut off the Qingzhou army's retreat.

In this Eastern Crusade, Liu Wei's most fundamental purpose is to recruit this Qingzhou Yellow Turban and merge them into his command, but according to the current development of the situation, it may not be as easy as imagined before setting off to annex this team.

At the same time, in the wilderness twenty miles to the north, Gongsun Zhan, who had led the army to support Liu Wei, pressed his sword in his hand and stood straight at the gate of the barracks, looking to the south.

"General!" Guan Jing, who suggested that Gongsun Zhan lead his troops south, saw that he had been standing at the gate and looking south, walked behind him, clasped his fists and bowed to him and said: "I heard that the scout came to report that the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Thieves did not enter the north......"

"Yes!" Gongsun Zhan frowned, nodded, but his eyes were still in the south, and said to Guan Jing behind him: "Yuan Shao's general Zang Hong occupies the ...... of Qingzhou"

"Qingzhou and Bohai are adjacent to each other, if Yuan Shao occupies Qingzhou......" Hearing that Zang Hong occupied Qingzhou, Guan Jing's heart tightened, and he hurriedly said to Gongsun Zhan: "In this way, Bohai and Jizhou will be surrounded by Yuan Shao!" ”

Gongsun Chan didn't speak, just furrowed his brows tightly, as if he was thinking about something.

"General!" Standing behind Gongsun Zhan, Guan Jing rolled his eyes and said to Gongsun Zhan: "Zang Hong occupies Qingzhou, and there is no appointment from the imperial court, nor does it have the promise of King Hongnong, so it is not good to say that it is not right. The general can ......"

"Pass the order!" Without waiting for Guan Jing to finish speaking, Gongsun Zhan turned his head and said to the soldiers standing not far away: "The army avoided the coincidence, went straight to Qingzhou, and drove Zang Hong out of Qingzhou!" ”

Gongsun Zhan was determined to attack Zang Hong, who occupied Qingzhou, but Liu Wei was unaware of it at this time.

He was still waiting, waiting for Gongsun Zhan's army to come and block the road from Qingzhou to Bohai with him.

Qingzhou Yellow Turban is known as a million people, and there are no less than 300,000 capable fighters, if he gains this strength, Liu Wei will move westward in the future and go straight to Chang'an, without the help of others.

By the time Liu Wei left the city and returned to the coincidence, the sky was completely dark.

Led a team of personal soldiers, just returned to the coincidence, and only entered the front yard, Gongsun Fan greeted him, hugged his fists and bowed with a smile on his face and asked Liu Wei: "Your Highness went to the city, can you see the Yellow Turban thieves coming?" ”

Glancing at Gongsun Fan who came out, Liu Wei smiled slightly, and said to him: "I'm afraid that the Yellow Turban Thieves will not come to Bohai again, this king plans to lead the army to leave the overlap in two days, go south to Yanzhou, and join forces with Cao Mengde to attack the Yellow Turban Thieves in Qingzhou!" ”

When Liu Biao said that he was going to join forces with Cao Cao to attack the Yellow Turban Thieves, Gongsun Fan had an unnatural look on his face, but this unnaturalness was only fleeting, he had a slightly stiff smile on his cheeks, and then said to Liu Bian: "The former general has not yet arrived, if His Royal Highness leaves here, the last general will really ......."

"Whether to leave or not is still up for discussion!" Although the unnaturalness on Gongsun Fan's face was fleeting, it was still captured by Liu Bian, Liu Bian waved his hand at him, and said lightly: "After staying in the city for a long time, this king is really a little tired, the general should also go and rest, today this king should rest early!" ”

"No!" Liu Wei was reluctant to mention the matter of leading the army to the expedition, and Gongsun Fan was not easy to follow the strong question, so he had to bow down with his fists in response.

led a team of personal soldiers and went straight into the backyard of the official mansion. Outside the door of the quarters, a soldier entered the room first and lit the white candle from the menorah.

Without waiting for the pro-soldier to light all the white candles, Liu Wei raised his feet and followed the house, and when he arrived in front of the pro-soldier who was lighting the white candles, he lowered his voice and said, "You go to the barracks to find General Zhao Yun and ask him to come to the king's residence early tomorrow morning!" ”

Judging from Liu Wei's cautious appearance when he spoke, the soldiers had already seen that this matter could not be known to others, nodded their heads, did not respond, and after lighting all the white candles, they bowed down and took two steps backwards and exited the room.

When the soldiers who lit the white candles left, Liu Wei turned around and walked to the shelf where the armor was hung in the house, took off the armor, and hung it on the shelf.

At this time, in a hut in the front yard, Gongsun Fan and a middle-aged military general were kneeling in the house.

"King Fang Cai Hongnong said that he would lead his army to leave the coincidence." Looking at the middle-aged military general kneeling opposite, Gongsun Fan frowned tightly and said to him: "The former general wants me to leave him here no matter what, if I see him leaving, how can I explain to the former general?" Can General Tian have a plan to leave King Hongnong in the coincidence? ”

Kneeling opposite Gongsun Fan, it was Tian Kai, the military attache under Gongsun Zhan, who heard Gongsun Fan ask like this, Tian Kai frowned, and muttered for a long time before he said to Gongsun Fan: "King Hongnong wants to leave, if we forcibly keep it, it will not be beautiful......

"Exactly!" Before Tian Kai's words fell, Gongsun Fan frowned and said to him: "I was going to persuade King Hongnong Mo to leave, but he seemed to be very impatient, and the words came to his mouth and blocked me back......"

"You can't let King Hongnong leave!" Tian Kai lowered his head, frowned tightly, and muttered for a while before saying to Gongsun Fan: "The general can send an order to the officers and soldiers guarding the city, even if the drawbridge is put away during the day, increase the city gate defenders, and once King Hongnong wants to leave, close the city gate immediately." ”

"In this way, wouldn't it be house arrest ......" Listening to Tian Kai's strategy, Gongsun Fan hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No, King Hongnong's own family stays, and we can still explain to the people of the world, if they are forcibly retained, so that the city gate is closed, the former general is afraid that he will be besieged by all the heroes like Dong Zhuo." ”

"Does the general want King Hongnong to leave the coincidence?" Tian Kai, who was kneeling opposite Gongsun Fan, sat up straight, his brows tightly twisted, and said to Gongsun Fan: "Don't forget, the general must not forget, the former general has ordered someone to come and specially explain, and he must not let King Hongnong leave Bohai!" ”

"General Ketian's plan is to put the former general in injustice!" Gongsun Fan glanced at Tian Kai with annoyance, sighed and said: "Pull up the suspension bridge and close the city gate, what a shrewd person King Hongnong, don't you know that you and I will leave him in the city...... General Tian should not forget, at the moment in the hands of King Hongnong, there are nearly 20,000 elite soldiers and horses, with the officers and soldiers under you and me, it is possible to stop him? ”

Referring to the 20,000 soldiers and horses under Liu Wei's command, Tian Kai's eyes rolled, and after a while, a touch of viciousness flashed in his eyes, and he whispered to Gongsun Fan: "The general is afraid of the soldiers and horses under the command of King Hongnong, so it is better to come to the labor army......"

"General Tian means ......" Before Tian Kai finished speaking, Gongsun Fan opened his eyes in shock, glared at Tian Kai, lowered his voice and asked, "Poisoned?" ”
