Gongqin thought about it, and finally decided to check if it was true, but when he came to the courtyard where Yuan Zhen lived, he didn't see the guard gate closed.

Kyochin stopped and looked at Kimfu. Jin Fu immediately explained: "I don't know what's going on, she ......"

Before Jin Fu could finish his words, he saw the three chiefs come out with one of his henchmen.

"Second brother, why are you here?" Zhu Yi asked a little weakly.

"I should have asked you this sentence! How did you end up here? ”

As soon as Gong Qin's words were finished, Yuan Zhen's concubine walked out of it and said, "The second leader already knows, and you don't have to hide it from the third leader." Let's talk about it first! ”

Gong Qin followed in, and then saw more than 30 people lying in the courtyard, both male and female, young and young. It was Yuan Zhen's wife, concubine, children and guards.

Gongqin's face was gloomy after reading those letters, and Yuan Zhen really wanted to kill himself. looked at Zhu Yi and said, "Third child, it seems that we can only cooperate." ”

"Cooperation, you must cooperate, you'd better not think about killing each other to monopolize it, otherwise you will only lose both. You should join forces and kill Yuan Zhen. After killing Yuan Zhen, you will go down the mountain, and now the heroes are divided, and it is the time for you to make contributions.

Occupy the city and develop into a prince, whether you are independent or take refuge in a certain prince, you will have the capital, which is a hundred times stronger than you occupy this cottage. There is no land in this cottage, and sooner or later it will be destroyed if it lives by robbery.

Only by occupying the towns and having land can you be provided with food, money, and women. Yuan Zhen's concubine flickered.

Gong Qin sneered: "We will die faster when we go down the mountain, our cottage is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and we are not afraid of the attack of officers and soldiers at all." There is no danger to defend when going down the mountain, and it will not be long before it will be destroyed. ”

"Second Leader, you would be wrong if you thought so. It's good that it's easy to defend and difficult to attack, but have you ever thought about what you would do if the officers and soldiers surrounded the mountain? There is not much land to grow grain here, and as long as the officers and soldiers surround you for a year or two, you will run out of food, and it will not be a dead end at that time.

At the beginning, Yuan Zhen chose this place because he didn't have much land, even if he couldn't cooperate with the officers and soldiers, he could destroy you. Otherwise, if you look at other cottages, their fields are not more than ours, and where they can't be cultivated, people can still raise livestock, even if the officers and soldiers surround them for decades, they won't necessarily be short of food. ”

Gong Qin and Zhu Yi were silent. If he killed Yuan Zhen, the Yuan family would definitely not let him go, but even if he didn't kill Yuan Zhen, it would still be a dead end. It seems that only the path that Yuan Zhen's concubine said is the way to live, and since the death of Emperor Ling, the imperial court's control over various places has been weak.

As long as those who have military power in their hands do not listen to the dispatch, and some are directly independent, the imperial court has no troops to adjust, so they can only recruit troops from the new to fight those independent county towns.

"You still don't know what Yuan Zhen is doing when he goes out this time! Let me tell you, it is because the army of the imperial court is passing nearby, and Baiyunzhai wants to intercept the grain and grass of the officers and soldiers, and then occupy the county seat......"

"What you say is true?" Gong Qin asked in shock.

"It's not that you didn't arrange a mole in Baiyun Village, if you want to know if it's true, you can ask yourself."

Concubine Yuan Zhen said this, which made Gongqin believe them, but they still hadn't decided, and they planned to find out and talk about it. However, killing Yuan Zhenduo Cottage is definitely going to be done.

Two days later, Yuan Zhen returned, and Gongqin and Zhu Yi jointly killed him. Then took control of the cottage, and it didn't take long for the people who were planted in Baiyun Village to send back the news that Baiyun Village did want to cut off the food of the officers and soldiers, but they had the help of those families in Jizhou, that is, the families that the imperial court wanted to attack.

They joined forces to defeat the officers and soldiers to get a county town in Jizhou, and the owner of the village could be the county guard, forming a situation of offensive and defensive alliance.

Gong Qin and Zhu Yi decided to do it, they went to contact Bai Yunzhai to get a piece of the pie, otherwise they would ruin their plan, and in the end Bai Yunzhai had to agree.

Yuan Shao became a hussar general because of the relationship of the Yuan family, and this time he led 80,000 troops to conquer the rebellion in Jizhou, as long as he won this time, he could become a general and command the Han army.

This time is also a game between these top families and those middle families, if they can win, then many middle families and small families will be re-attached. Otherwise, they will lose the support of these middle and small families, and then they will have to pay a certain price to appease, and in the future, except for Luoyang Sizhou, the officials of other states and counties can only be appointed by the clansmen of the local families.

In other words, they will lose control of other places and will have to be empty in the name of high-ranking officials. Other states and counties do not pay taxes to them.

So this time, these top families also summoned the thieves they controlled, adding up to 150,000 people, plus one or two small families who rebelled before, Yuan Shao was confident that he could take down those families and control Jizhou in his own hands.

After approaching Jizhou, many thieves joined Yuan Shao's army one after another, rising from the original 80,000 to 130,000, and directly reaching 150,000 when they entered the Jizhou territory.

When Yuan Shao gave the order to prepare for the attack, the 10,000 pioneers did not move, and half of the army made trouble, they asked Yuan Shao to distribute food, and they would not move if they did not get more than three months of military rations.

Yuan Shao angrily cut down the vanguard generals, and the vanguard temporarily surrendered, but at night they snatched all the military rations and fled.

In fact, it is said that it is an escape, and everyone knows that these people have entered other camps, and the food will be robbed by those thieves.

In the end, Yuan Shao had to compromise and let people bring half a year's worth of grain and grass over to stabilize these people first. At this time, Yuan Shao also understood why the people he arranged did not come, but his subordinates came over, and they were all killed.

As a result, he couldn't control this army, and he had to prevent them from rebelling, but he didn't expect that the thieves he raised would get out of control, and Yuan Shao, who was counterattacked, now he doesn't ask these people for help. I just ask those people to leave as soon as they get food and grass.

At this time, Gongqin and Zhu Yi were also in the army, and the two were drinking in the camp.

Gong Qin laughed and said, "Yuan Shao, that idiot really thinks we are stupid!" The vanguard was chosen from among us, and we don't know that he wants us to die? The more he does this, the less anyone will listen to his orders. ”

Zhu Yi: "Fortunately, we know about their conspiracy, otherwise Yuan Zhen will bring us over at this time, and we will definitely be arranged to be at the forefront to die." In the end, even if he didn't die, he would be killed by them, and none of these families had a good thing. ”

Both of them were extremely glad to know their plot in advance, otherwise they would have died without a place to be buried.
