Previously, heavy troops were sent to Youzhou, and the consideration was whether Goguryeo would have a sense of being threatened and attack them after destroying Samhan. But afterwards, Zhang Qiang sent information from there, saying that Goguryeo was now in civil strife, and he was flawless.

Even though Goguryeo was also in civil strife, Zhang Chao didn't have to focus on it. Now that some people don't know whether they are alive or dead, it is better to teach them a lesson. And Zhang Chao's territory should also be expanded, and now it seems that Si Li is a good place.

Zhang Chao didn't think about Jizhou, because he still needed a barrier now, and he didn't want to directly raise troops with Cao Cao before the navy was completely established. In this way, if you want to expand your territory, you can only focus on the division to the west.

In today's world, the situation is different from the past, from west to east, Ma Teng of Liangzhou leads Liangzhou herd; Dong Zhuo of Yongzhou led Yongzhou Mu and Si Li; Liu Zhang, Lingyizhou Mu; Liu Biao led Jingzhou pastor; Shi Xie led the state pastor; Sun Jian led Yangzhou pastor; Cao Cao led the Gon Prefecture Pastor, Qingzhou Pastor, Xuzhou Pastor and Yuzhou Pastor; Yuan Shao led the pastor of Jizhou; Zhang Chao led the state pastor and Jizhou pastor.

Among them, Cao Cao led the four states and had the greatest strength. Zhang Chao and Dong Zhuo each led two states, followed by the second.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, if you can capture Si Li, it will shorten the gap with Cao Cao, and at the same time, it seems that it is the best way to meet each other.

After having a plan in his heart, Zhang Chao also began to dispatch troops, evacuating the men and horses arranged in Youzhou to the south of Bingzhou, and at the same time preparing the grain, grass and weapons needed by the army during the war.

The Great General's Mansion issued an order, and the entire Jinyang City began to get busy.

It's just that although it is being prepared, it is indeed Anruo Taishan in Jinyang City. As early as the time of the construction of the city, Zhang Chao deliberately built an outer ring on the periphery of the city, where the escort of weapons, grain and grass was operated, which could not only hide from the people in the inner city, but also improve the efficiency, which was really a good thing.

In the general's mansion, Zhang Chao was teasing three children in the back flower courtyard.

Now Zhang Chao has two sons and a daughter, namely the five-year-old eldest daughter Zhang Jie, the four-year-old eldest son Zhang Tian and the second son Zhang Xing, who is less than two years old. At the same time, Da Qiao was also pregnant, and Cai Yan, the wife of the main room, was also pregnant.

After becoming pregnant, the two ladies were recuperating in their own courtyards, and only the second wife Bai Tong and the third lady Zhen Mi and the three children were accompanying Zhang Chao.

"Second son, is there going to be a war again?" When he saw Zhen Mi playing with the three children not far away, Bai Tong leaned over to Zhang Chao and asked softly.

"Hmm." Zhang Chaozao watched the three children frolicking there, with a faint but calm expression on his face.

Zhang Chao was not surprised that Bai Tong would know such a confidential thing. This person has an excellent relationship with Lu Fei, the head of the Tianyan Organization, even so, it is reasonable to know about this matter.

In fact, Zhang Chao knew about Bai Tong's friendship with Lu Fei, and he was happy to have it happen. Lu Fei is not only the head of Tianyan's family, but also his subordinate and the wife of General Zhao Yun, and the relationship between the two sides is more harmonious, which is also beneficial for him to better control people's hearts.

Seeing that Zhang Chao nodded and agreed, Bai Tong asked with some concern, "Second son, do you still want to recruit in person this time?" ”

"Not really." Zhang Chao shook his head, put his eyes on Bai Tong's body and said, "This time, Feng Xiao can replace me." I can spend more time at home with you. ”

Although this time it was likely that Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao would jointly attack, Zhang Chao really didn't pay attention to it. Now he is also said to be a strong soldier, and he can play freely by the soldiers below. And there are high-level strategists like Guo Jia, Xu Shu, Li Ru, Fu Zhu and Pang Tong in front of him, and there are fierce generals like Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Xu Huang, Zhang He and Xu Rong, he really doesn't have to worry about anything.

Seeing that Zhang Chao said no, Bai Tong immediately became happy, "That's great, in this case, you can accompany Sister Yan and Sister Da Qiao when they give birth." The second son didn't know that the last time he gave birth to Xing'er, you were at home with him, and they were really envious for a while. ”

"Oh, there's such a thing, well, I'll just be at home with you. Well, Tong'er, otherwise you're asking for one, I'll still accompany you. As Zhang Chao spoke, his eyes began to look at Bai Tong's body.

Although it has been less than two years since she gave birth to Zhang Xing, Bai Tong's physical recovery is indeed good, and the charm of a mature woman exuded by her body after becoming a mother made Zhang Chao a little uncontrollable after seeing it.

Looking at Zhang Chao's gaze, Bai Tong was immediately shy, and hurriedly lowered his head and said, "The second son is good or bad, Sister Mi and the children are not far away?" ”

"Haha, that's it. It's okay, I'll just ask Zhen Mi to accompany me, well, just let Dian Wei and Xu Chu take them to play with the three children. While Zhang Chao laughed, he waved his hand to call the two guards in the distance, and then he put Bai Tong in one hand and Zhen Mi in the other and walked towards the courtyard where he was resting.

Zhang Chao enjoys the blessings of Qi people at home. Yuan Shu was indeed very busy.

After his brother agreed to the decision to send 150,000 troops to regain Hanoi, he began to transfer troops and food. In addition, he also sent his subordinate general Lei Bo to Hanoi secretly to meet Zhang He and Fu Zhi.

Zhang He is a general of Hanoi, and he is appointed as the county guard of Hanoi, if these two people can be convinced, this battle will not have to be fought, and it will be won.

Based on the fact that these two people were both Yuan Shao's subordinates, Yuan Shu was ready to do something of persuasion.

After Yuan Shu said this idea, his subordinate Lei Bo took the initiative to ask Ying to do this.

In the early years, Lei Bo had a relationship with Zhang He, and he wanted to rely on this relationship to do this.

For Lei Bo to take such an initiative, Yuan Shu was naturally overjoyed. He immediately promised that if he could do this, it would be the first achievement, and he would be rewarded in the future.

After Lei Bo got Yuan Shu's promise, he went on the road in a hurry. Dressed as a merchant, he walked through several counties and came to Huai County, the land of Hanoi.

After receiving Zhang Chao's order, Fu Zhu and Zhang He, who were reorganizing the army for war, were discussing in the Hanoi General's Mansion about what was not ready, and there was a message from the soldiers outside the door that an old man named Lei Bo had come to visit.

"Lei Bo?" Zhang He, who was dressed in battle armor, was stunned for a while when he heard this person's name. The name sounded familiar to him, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

was frustrated on the side, and after hearing this, his expression was awe-inspiring, and then he changed to a smiling face and said: "Shame, the war has not started yet, and the lobbyist is here." ”

After this reminder, Zhang He finally thought of who Lei Bo was, and immediately turned his eyes and said: "It turned out to be a general under Yuan Shu, yes, I remember, this person has a relationship with me, and I am very arrogant." Hmph, I didn't expect him to appear here with me, even if it were, I just blasted him out. ”

Zhang He knew the rules of the two armies not killing each other, but he couldn't see this person, for fear that it would arouse suspicion. He had heard of the power of the Tianyan organization, if it was really met in private and was known to Zhang Chao, I am afraid that it would not be clear at that time.

Zhang He wanted someone to blast Lei Bo away, but he reached out and stopped him. "Why don't you listen to what he has to say before making a decision? You won't lose out by doing so anyway. ”

"It's... It's not good. Zhang He shook his head with a hesitant look.

Frustrated to know what Zhang He was worried about, he smiled and said: "Just do it, our lord is not a narrow-minded person like Yuan Benchu, as long as he does it right, just do it." ”

Seeing that Fu Zhu said so calmly, Zhang He nodded, "Okay, I'll go and meet this old man, but I still need Mr. Fu to listen behind the screen, so I can be a witness." ”

Knowing that Zhang He still had concerns, he was afraid that Zhang Chao would be angry, so he smiled and said: "Okay, that's it, I'll be a villain after I go to the screen." ”

After hiding behind the screen in the main hall, Zhang He said to his soldiers: "Go, invite this Lei Bo in." By the way, tell the others not to approach here if there is no matter. ”

The pro-soldier agreed and retreated, and after a while, Lei Bo, dressed as a merchant in brocade clothes, came to the main hall under the guidance of the pro-soldier.

There were still a few steps away, and Lei Bo had already arched his hands and said, "Brother Jun, don't come to harm." ”

"Humph! What else can be said to be unharmed? Seeing Lei Bo's enthusiasm, Zhang He looked cold.

It is reasonable for Zhang He to be angry, his family was killed by Yuan Shao after he was captured, if he didn't show some anger at this time, wouldn't he be suspicious?

Zhang He was angry, and after Lei Bo saw it, his expression couldn't help but change, but when he thought of what happened before, he pretended to be pitiful and said: "Hey, don't mention it, Brother Jun, for the sake of my brother's family, Yuan Gong regretted it very much, and my lord Yuan Shu also criticized Xu Yu for this matter." ”

When he said this, Lei Bo said again: "It's just that the matter has been going on for so long, and I heard that Brother Jun has married a new wife, so I think this matter might as well let him pass." After all, people still have to look forward to life, right? ”

"Humph! I am marrying, it is the intention of the general of the dynasty, not my own heart, how can I forget the previous hatred? Zhang closed his head and shook it, a picture of an old hatred that cannot be forgotten.

Zhang Hezhi's words were cold, but Lei Bo did hear a different voice in it, that is, the current wife didn't seem to fit Zhang He's intentions, if so, he could make a fuss about it.
