The war in Jizhou gradually stabilized, and after several fierce clashes between the two sides, they both figured out each other's strength and ideas, and their initial ideas changed, and the goal shifted from defeat to compromise, and the war naturally eased.

More battles generally take place between strangers, because their desire and ambition to fight are stronger, and their scruples are less, of course, Zhang Jiao and Yuan Shao fanning the flames behind their backs is also one of the main reasons.

As for Yanzhou, naturally it can't be fought, and Han Fu, who provoked this war, was diluted after expanding three counties, and he no longer had the ability to attack, which was also the most fundamental reason why the war came to an end.

Zhang Bao is also facing the same problem as Han Fu, so to put it bluntly, war is a continuation of politics, and it is also a political means for the purpose of defeating the opponent, but in many cases, war cannot achieve the final goal, and it is necessary to return to the way of political settlement, especially in this complex political and military environment.

Just when Fang Zhiwen thought that the banks of the Yellow River would gradually stop, and he could live a relatively stable life, the upheaval happened again, although it was a little helpless and emotional, but the world was like this, whether it was in the game or outside the game, it was unsatisfactory nine times out of ten.

On September 2, the third year of Guangxi, Ding Yuan died without illness.

At the age of seventy, he died at the end of his life, which should be regarded as a long life, and there was nothing unacceptable to Ding Yuan, but he was already dead, and no one knew whether he accepted it or not.

The problem is that it was not the right time for him to die, because Lu Bu is still working hard in Chenliu, and as soon as Ding Yuan died and merged with the state, many people's minds began to change, and the ambitions that should not have grown like weeds also began to grow like weeds. The originally calm Jinyang City suddenly had a taste of wind and rain.

Zhang Liao, who had been stationed in Wuxiang, immediately led his army back to Jinyang and ordered Hao Meng in Jinyang City to enter a state of martial law, and troops in other places were not allowed to act without approval, and these measures were undoubtedly correct.

However, things were not as simple as Zhang Liao imagined, and Zhang Liao left Wuxiang on the front foot. The flamboyant troops on the back foot stormed Wuxiang. occupies this important gateway to Jinyang, but at this time Zhang Liao can no longer turn back, he must first ensure the safety of Jinyang and the safety of the Son of Heaven.

But Zhang Yang's abnormal movement made Zhang Liao realize. I'm afraid that things are not so simple, so he immediately wrote to Lu Bu for help, and Lu Bu was immersed in the pain of losing his father at the moment, and when he saw Zhang Liao's letter for help, he was immediately furious. Regardless of the fact that it was already night, he immediately summoned all the generals to raise his tent and prepared to raise the army north to attack Zhang Yang.

"General, my subordinates think this matter is inappropriate1

Pang Yuan didn't wait for Lu Bu to speak, he blocked Lu Bu's mouth first, if Pang Yuan came to refute after Lu Bu said it, it would make Lu Bu even more faceless, so he chose to say his opinion first, even if Lu Bu was emotional at this time. It's not the best time to admonish.

Lu Bu was really furious, glared at Pang Yuan, and the momentum on his body suddenly burst out, making the generals present couldn't help but be shocked in their hearts. I had never seen such a powerful new subordinate of Lu Bu, and he was even more in a cold sweat behind his back. The tip of his heart trembled, and even Chen Gong couldn't help but sweat on his forehead.

It's really domineering!

"Fuqing, are you going to oppose a certain family?"

"Exactly, subordinates must fulfill the responsibility of a military advisor. You can't watch the general go down the wrong path and ruin 1

Pang Yuan looked at Lu Bu without showing weakness. One is strong, the other is arrogant, the sight of the two seems to burst into flames, so that all the generals present are amazed and admired, I can't imagine that the usually soft military advisor has such a hot side.

Lu Bu looked at Pang Yuanfen's unyielding posture, and the violent anger in his heart slowly calmed down, although it did not decrease, but it calmed down a lot, and the originally vigorous fire seemed to have turned into a volcano that could not be triggered, which made people even more frightened.

"Okay, you say, if you can't make a sense, don't blame a certain family for not being emotional1

"Humph! Is there any merciful aspect of military law policy? What his subordinates are plotting is the long-term interest of the general and the people, and what they do is the duty of their subordinates, and if they are wrong, they should naturally be punished, so why be merciful1

Pang Yuan's resounding words made Lu Bu feel like he couldn't laugh or cry, it seemed that Pang Yuan's anger was even greater than his own, what is this!? However, with such a distraction, Lu Bu's mind became clearer and clearer.

"Come to 1

"General, what are you doing with your overnight raise? But you want to raise troops to the north? ”

"Exactly, now that my father-in-law is newly mourned, and the people of Jinyang are panicking, Zhang Yang, a thief, actually dares to take advantage of the fire to rob, if everyone takes him as an example, Jinyang will be chaotic, so I want to raise troops to the north and defeat Zhang Yang to set an example, is it wrong?"

Pang Yuan shook his head: "The general's original intention is right, I also hope to do this, and I feel that it is necessary to do so." But can it be done? When the general goes north, he needs to cross the river, cross Gongsun Zhan's territory, and then attack the hinterland of Shangdang County, not to mention whether Gongsun Chan will do anything behind his back, just the continuous mountains of Shangdang County can trap the general who is not logistically good to death. If the general is defeated, I am afraid that not only will the effect of killing chickens and monkeys and raising the sword and prestige not be achieved, but will have the opposite effect. At that time, not only Jinyang and Taiyuan will not be guaranteed, but even the surrounding Leping and Xinxing will be repeated, and what is even more terrifying is that even Chen Liu will be besieged, so that the good situation will suddenly disappear, is this the result that the general wants!? ”

Pang Yuan's words made all the generals present change color in shock, and after thinking about it carefully, Pang Yuan's words were by no means alarmist, but the most likely thing to happen, and the generals' originally high fighting spirit suddenly turned into uneasy.

Lu Bu opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to refute it, turned his head to look at the generals below, and couldn't help but stiffen his neck and argue: "How can a certain family not be able to take down the party, you don't have to look down on Zhang Yang, besides, can't you collect grain on the spot without supplies?" ”

Chen Gong sighed and said, "Lord, doesn't Zhang Yang even know how to clear the wilderness?" ”

"This"

"General, the Lord will not raise the army with anger, please don't do this kind of self-defeating thing."

After Pang Yuan finished speaking, he stared at Lu Bu's eyes, the expression on Lu Bu's face changed, and he finally sighed and sat down dejectedly.

"Okay, Fuqing, Gongtai, you have a point, is it wrong or not! However, however, now that the righteous father is newly mourned, it is no longer appropriate for the son of man to not be able to serve filial piety, but for the sake of national affairs, it is also helpless, but seeing that Jinyang is in danger and the Son of Heaven is humiliated, how can a minister sit idly by? You say, "What should I do?"

Pang Yuan looked at Lu Bu with a sad expression, and also sighed: "General, now you are a general, and it is the duty of the princes to extinguish the princes, not to protect the safety of the capital and the safety of the Son of Heaven. Jinyang has Wen Yuan and Hao Meng who deserve it, if there is a mistake, it is their dereliction of duty, but it is not the task of the general. ”

Pang Yuan paused, and then said: "As for the funeral matter, the general's heavy responsibility cannot be taken lightly, but he can send his henchmen to guard filial piety on his behalf. ”

"What the military advisor said is very true, and the lord should put state affairs first."

The general thought twice

Lu Bu looked up at the generals below, his heart was in a mess, a depression accumulated in his chest, he couldn't help but feel depressed, Lu Bu suddenly stood up, walked out without saying a word, and under the gaze of everyone, he walked all the way to the wide courtyard, took out his Fang Tian painting halberd, and waved it indiscriminately.

Although Lu Bu has no rules at all at the moment, it is completely a kind of chaotic smashing to vent the situation, but every move of the top masters, a certain is not a secret implicit essence of martial arts, I saw that Lu Bu's body was quickly filled with the shadow of the halberd, like a ball of cold light, at a greater distance, an invisible Gangfeng hunting and hissing, the violent murderous aura even cut the hard bluestone ground, and a violent air flow in the north of the gravel dust pushed around, and the explosive and splashed stones actually emitted a piercing scream, such a power was like a god and demon, everyone present was shocked.

After venting for almost half an hour, Lu Bu stopped painting the halberd with sweat, and the cold painting halberd drew a graceful arc behind him, and Lu Bu's body was a large section lower in the four zhang square circle, like a very weird small pool, but there was no water in it.

Lu Bu took a deep breath, and suddenly raised his head to the sky and let out an angry roar, this roar seemed to come from a wild beast, the rolling sound was like a wave of rage, and the sound spread thousands of miles into the sky, even the council hall where the generals were located trembled, and the dust on the beams fell everywhere, which made the people in the entire Chen Liucheng City frightened, thinking that some kind of vision had happened.

Lu Bu put away the halberd, strode back to the conference hall, stood on the upper seat, glanced at the generals, and said with a cold look in his eyes: "A certain will focus on state affairs, you will help a certain one, one day, it will be a great shame 1."

"The last general is willing to die for the general1

Lu Bu nodded: "What should I do now, Fuqing?" ”

Pang Yuan nodded secretly, and said slowly, word by word: "Hold your ground and wait and see what happens."

"Stand still and wait and see? Fuqing is saying that there will be changes in Jinyang City? ”

"It depends on Wen Yuan's ability, general, although Wen Yuan is handsome, but the situation in Jinyang City is extremely complicated, and there is more Son of Heaven in power, there will be people who will have the idea of coercing the Son of Heaven to order the world, and his subordinates are afraid that Wen Yuan will be constrained everywhere, and the Son of Heaven is still too small, too small 1

Lu Bu's face was gloomy, his eyes were cold, thinking of his promise to the little emperor, Lu Bu couldn't help but feel ashamed and anxious, but secretly made a vicious oath in his heart.
