After confirming that Gongsun Ming had returned to Bohai County, Yuan Shao did not embarrass Wang He and others who were stranded in Yecheng, and readily approved Wang He's resignation, and asked him to bring a handwritten letter to Gongsun Ming, saying that he could understand Gongsun Ming's hardships, and said that the family affairs were established, and the marriage should be completed as soon as possible
After defeating Cao Cao, he would escort Yuan Mei to Yunyun in Youzhou, for which Gongsun Ming expressed his gratitude and promised that when Yuan's army crossed the river, he would definitely carry his army to the front line to cooperate with the battle as agreed. After getting Gongsun Ming's assurance, Yuan Shao seemed to be relieved, while mobilizing a large number of elites for winter training, in order to prepare for the attack after the beginning of spring, while sending a large number of envoys to visit the separatist forces, Nanyang Zhang Xiu, Jingzhou Liu Biao, Xuzhou Liu Bei, Jiangdong Sun Ce, Guanzhong Ma Teng and other places can see the Yuan family's envoys haunted, at the same time, Cao Cao is also doing pre-war preparations, the same is a large number of envoys rushed to various places, contact the heroes, the final result is each has its own income - Nanyang Zhang Xiu, Zhang Yan of the Montenegrin Army joined Cao Cao's camp, and Liu Bei and Liu Biaoyan said that they would join Yuan Shao
On the one hand, Jiangdong Sun Ce made it clear that he was neutral, while Ma Teng had an ambiguous attitude and unclear intentions. Although each has allies, in terms of strength comparison, Cao Cao is still at an absolute disadvantage, no side, Zhang Xiu and Zhang Yan only have one county, and the soldiers and horses are claimed to have hundreds of thousands of people, however, there are not many elite soldiers who can fight, even if they are all put into Cao Cao's command, they are not as strong as Yuan Shao's family, not to mention that Liu Bei is on the back of Cao Cao's camp, the situation is undoubtedly very bad for Cao Cao, of course, Yuan Shao's side also has hidden worries, that is, Liu Biao, who has strong troops, has no intention of going north at all, and the so-called alliance is just a verbal shouting, as for
The fledgling Gongsun Ming, Yuan Shao is obviously not too relieved, and Liu Bei's troops are not firmly established, and it is difficult to defend themselves, let alone send troops to help the war, all in all, both sides have their own troubles. The forces of the two sides are staggered, the situation is dark and difficult to see, if you want to break the situation, you undoubtedly need the courage to decide, at this point, Cao Cao is obviously stronger than Yuan Shao - just after the Lantern Festival, Cao Cao took the lead in starting a military operation, quickly mobilized 200,000 troops, regardless of the threat that Yuan Jun may cross the river at any time, with Mount Tai pressing the top of the momentum straight to Xuzhou, the news reached Yecheng, Tian Feng, Frustration unanimously proposed to take advantage of the emptiness of Xudu, the whole army crossed the river, cut off Cao Cao's nest in one fell swoop, and Yuan Shao's youngest son Yuan Maisheng was sick at this time
The fighter passed, Liu Bei was unable to support himself, and he was soon defeated, fled alone, and crossed the river to join Yuan Shao's command. Time flies, in a blink of an eye, it is the third day of the third month of the fifth year of Jian'an, Yuan Shao wrote an article "for Yuan Shao Yuzhou Wen" with Chen Lin, in which Cao Cao was scolded bloody, marking that the contradictions between the two major military groups have been completely made public
On the sixth day of the first month of March, Yuan Shao's troop transfer documents were sent to Jixian County, asking Gongsun Ming to lead the main force to Qingzhou and attack Cao's army from the flank. Zhang Yan and Yuan Shao are mortal enemies, the two sides have fought many times, and the blood feud between them has long been so strong that it cannot be dissolved, if there is a chance, he naturally wants to give Yuan Shao a ruthless blow, the problem is that Gongsun Ming, Yuan Shao's quasi-son-in-law, is on the side, Zhang Yan really doesn't dare to act rashly, but no
Don't worry that if Cao Cao is defeated, Yuan Shao will turn around and shoot at him, and in a dilemma, he decided to make an appointment with Gongsun Ming for an interview, and the location was still set at the Acacia Pavilion.
"General Gongsun is really good Yaxing. "The scenery of Acacia Pavilion at the beginning of March is undoubtedly the most beautiful time, drizzle and hazy, green willows spit out new shoots, peach blossoms on both banks, butterflies and warblers fly, a good group of vigorous vitality, Gongsun Ming in a white robe sits leisurely in the pavilion, holding a wine bottle, so that he can enjoy the beautiful scenery for a long time, and his mouth is from time to time
The ground was still humming a little tune, and it was really as leisurely as it was, and this kind of appearance couldn't help but make Zhang Yan, who came slowly, shake his head and laugh.
"Hehe, stealing half a day of leisure, life in the world, I don't know how to enjoy, what do you do in life?"
When we met in the Acacia Pavilion last year, Gongsun Ming was the weak party, and he asked Zhang Yan, but now, it is completely reversed, and Youzhou under the rule of hard work is no longer the original ruined place, but the richest place in the north.
"Hey, enjoy it? General Gongsun has the intention to enjoy it, but Zhang Mou's eyebrows are burning, and in the future, I'm afraid I won't have that blessing to enjoy." Looking at Gongsun Ming's relaxed posture, Zhang Yan's heart can be said to be sour enough, you must know that when we met last year, Gongsun Ming called Uncle Zhang one by one, and he Zhang Yan has always called himself uncle, but now, each other's status has completely reversed, and there is a demand for others, Zhang
Yan was stunned and didn't dare to spit out the words "uncle", but he was unwilling to be troubled in his heart, and his words couldn't help but be full of vinegar.
"Uncle Zhang said with a smile, you have tens of thousands of heavy soldiers in your hands, and you have more than one million people under your rule, who dares to make Uncle Zhang uncomfortable in this northern land. โ
Gongsun Ming knew very well what Zhang Yan was looking for him, but he was not in a hurry to get to the point, but shook his head with a smile and talked nonsense that was not very nutritious.
"Hmm...... The battle between Cao Gong and Yuan Thief is imminent, presumably the elder brother must have received the Yuan thief's request for troops, right?
Hearing that Gongsun Ming still called himself Uncle Zhang, Zhang Yan's tense heartstrings suddenly loosened a little, but he didn't dare to think that his uncle was calling himself an uncle anymore, and he actually changed his name to Gongsun Ming as his elder brother, and there was obviously a hint of flattery between his words.
"Heh, yes, if you want to come to Cao Thief, you must have already moved to Uncle Zhang's place, and you want Uncle Zhang to send troops to attack Yuan Gong's back road?"
Gongsun Ming did not deny Zhang Yan's speculation, but he did not say what he planned to do, but immediately asked Zhang Yan a question.
"There is indeed such a thing, however, there are doubts in my heart, and when the situation is unclear, I don't dare to act rashly, I don't know who can win this battle according to my brother's opinion?"
Zhang Yan wanted to deny it, but after thinking about it, there were not a few people in his army who had eyebrows with Gongsun Ming, and this kind of military aircraft could not hide from Gongsun Ming at all, and denying it was just a joke, and he really wanted to ask Gongsun Ming for advice, so he simply said it.
"Who does Uncle Zhang hope will win?"
Gongsun Mingduo is a shrewd individual, and he knew what Zhang Yan wanted to ask as soon as he heard it, but he pretended not to know, and did not solve his doubts, but asked quietly.
"This ......" Zhang Yan came to Gongsun Ming to find out the truth because he didn't know who could win, and now when he heard that Gongsun Ming actually kicked the problem back like this, he was stunned......
