Gao Gan is not a mediocre talent, it was he who worked with Xun Chen to persuade Han Fu to give Jizhou to Yuan Shao, it can be said that he has contributed a lot to the Yuan family, and he is even more unwilling to watch it be taken away by others.

At this time, Hedong County was in strict formation, and sent someone to Luoyang for help immediately, Xun Yu was still arguing with Xu You, but it was too late.

Gao Gan sent 5,000 troops, no one expected that Yuan Xi would also send troops, and quietly joined forces with Gao Gan to attack Hedong County together.

Wei Yan's army suddenly disappeared with 2,000 people on the way to escort the Zhen family to Zhuojun, and at the headquarters of Youzhou, Hua Mulan led 3,000 cavalry through Daijun and entered Bingzhou from the foot of Heng Mountain.

Xu Shu went to Bingzhou to see Gao Gan and did not come back, it was he who urged Yuan Xi to send troops, sent people back to deliver the letter, and waited in Taiyuan City.

By the time Yuan Shang attacked Liyang, the Youzhou soldiers had been assembled, and when Gao Gan heard that he had really started fighting, he handed over 5,000 men and horses without saying a word, and obeyed Xu Shu's orders.

There were a total of 10,000 soldiers and horses, and after thinking about who to use as the main general, Xu Shu finally decided to listen to Yuan Xi, and let Hua Mulan be the main general, and Wei Yanhe was recruited as the deputy general.

The recruit is not a subordinate of Gao Gan, but a subordinate of Yuan Shang, who is also engaged in the responsibility of Jizhou and leading Karasuma cavalry, and this time he came to Bingzhou to supervise the grain and grass.

Bingzhou is nominally under Yuan Shang, and the senior cadres also have to respect the order, and Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi are also the same, but Yuan Tan does not accept it.

Just when the recruit came to meet the battle, Gao Gan simply handed over the 5,000 troops to him to lead, and after Xu Shu talked to him, he praised him greatly.

Originally, he was expected to be the main general, but Hua Mulan brought Yuan Xi's handwritten letter and strongly recommended her as the main general, Xu Shu hesitated for a long time, but still accepted.

After all, the strong recommendation of his father-in-law still needs to be respected, and he already knows that this girl will become one of his housemothers in the future.

Xu Shu has seen Mulan's skills, and he also wants to see how well she leads the army to fight, Yuan Xi is so confident in her, naturally he will not be untargeted.

There is also the accent that Hua Mulan is from Henan, and she is half a fellow countryman, and the fellow will still be closer.

Mulan, a native of Henan, was also the land of Longxing in the Song Dynasty, and was renamed Yingtianfu in Nanjing by Zhao Kuangyin, which was later known as Shangqiu in Henan.

"Strategist, the prince has arrived."

In the lobby of Dongyuan County, Wei Yan walked in quickly to report.

When Xu Shu heard this, he hurriedly got up and greeted him, and said loudly: "Yingchuan Xu Shu has seen the prince!" I hope that the prince wants to wear it! ”

Wang Yi also saluted: "I have heard the name of Yuanzhi for a long time, but I didn't expect to meet it here, fortunately!" ”

After the two sides finished saluting and entered the lobby to sit down, Wang Yi spoke: "General Yuan's soldiers invaded my Hedong, I don't know where the so-called came from?" ”

Wang Yi is the Taishou of Hedong County, who was awarded the title of General of Zhenbei and Marquis of Anyang Pavilion by Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, and belonged to the ministers loyal to the Han Dynasty.

However, at this time, Hedong County was already Cao Cao's sphere of influence, and Hedong County was administratively under the jurisdiction of the Division, but geographically closer to the state.

Therefore, after Gao Gan attacked Hedong last time, Cao Cao thought about replacing Wang Yi, this guy didn't listen to him, only listened to Emperor Han Xian.

In the original history, it was Du Yi who replaced Wang Yi and stabilized Hedong, but it also took a lot of thought because the people of Hedong supported Wang Yi.

As a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, Wang Yi can be regarded as a capable minister, and during his tenure as Taishou, he did a lot of good things for the people to live in peace, but the situation was stronger than others.

Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to issue a holy decree, Wang Yi did not want to leave Hedong and went to negotiate with Zhong Xuan, but Zhong Xuan came back, and in a fit of anger, he took the Taishou seal ribbon and wanted to go to Xudu to see Emperor Han Xian.

It happened that Bingzhou had raised troops again, and had already captured Dongyuan County, and the troops pointed directly at Anyi, the capital of Hedong, blocking his way.

Although the old man was dissatisfied with Cao Cao, after hearing that the person in command of the high-ranking army was Yingchuan Xu Shu, his heart moved, so he took the initiative to come to see him.

No, as soon as he came in, he questioned directly, because he knew that Xu Shu had a big man in his heart, and he was actually the same kind of person as himself.

Xu Shu laughed and said: "The prince's words are wrong! The general conquered and did not surrender, Cao Sikong attacked Hebei for no reason, and the heart of rebellion was clearly revealed. ”

Wang Yi was stunned, waiting for himself here, wanting to refute that Hedong was under the rule of the Han Dynasty, not under Cao Cao, but he wanted face, and he couldn't say anything.

Xu Shu naturally didn't give him a face, and when he saw that he had nothing to say, he slowed down and said: "It's better for the prince to stay, Cao Sikong removed the position of the prince and the prince for no reason, it can be seen that his mind is not in the Han family, he is cultivating a private army." ”

Wang Yi was stunned, he was trying to persuade the other party, but he was persuaded by the other party, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Since Dong Zhuo, which of the princes is selfless, and it is a foregone conclusion that the marquis of Ye does not respect the Han family, how can the old man help the abuse." ”

Xu Shu opened his mouth and said: "At this time and that time, the original prince has passed away, my lord Yuan Xianyi is loyal to the Han family, and the prince will run thousands of miles, and the prince can't judge the son by the father." ”

"Oh! Is Yuan Xianyi really loyal to the Han family? ”

"Yes! My lord has promised not to be king, does the prince think so? ”

Wang Yi was a little tempted, as a royalist, he was naturally loyal to the Han family, he originally thought that Cao Cao was, but now that he has experienced it himself, he can't see that Cao Cao is no different from Dong Zhuo.

It's just that I still don't believe it, after all, Yuan Shu ruined the reputation of the Yuan family at the beginning, and Yuan Shao was not the first to crusade against him, which makes people see that Yuan Shao is also a half-hearted person.

After frowning and thinking about it, Wang Yi asked: "Youzhou obeys Jizhou's orders, does Yuan Xianyi dare to disobey?" If Yuan Xianfu is not subordinate, how will he treat it? ”

Xu Shu snorted heavily: "He dares!" If Jizhou dares not to surrender, he will ask my lord to crusade against it. ”

Wang Yi stared at him with burning eyes, and the two of them looked at each other without avoiding their gaze, and for a long time Wang Yi patted his thigh and said, "The old man believes in you, but the old man has to ask Yuan Xianyi face to face about this matter." ”

Xu Shu was immediately overjoyed and said: "So Shu sent someone to escort the prince to Youzhou, and the prince also took a look at how different Youzhou is now." ”

"Good!"

Wang Yi replied loudly, bowed his hand and said: "Hedong Taishou seal is here, the old man handed it over to Yuan Zhi for safekeeping, if the old man is not satisfied with Youzhou, please return the seal to Yuan Zhi." ”

Xu Shu was stunned, he didn't expect Wang Yi to go to Xudu and take the seal of Hedong County Taishou.

Cao Cao has already sent a new Taishou, and according to the procedure, the resignation Taishou will hand over the seal to the new appoint, and taking the seal away without permission is a great disrespect to the imperial court.

It is equivalent to the new Taishou being unable to handle government affairs, and many decrees are not stamped, and the people below can not implement them.

"The prince gave the seal to Xu Shu, this ......"

Looking at Xu Shu's hesitant appearance, Wang Yi smiled slightly and said, "The old man trusts Yuan Zhi, why, Yuan Zhi doesn't dare to take it?" ”

Xu Shu's heart moved, and he understood that this old man was deliberate, he owned this seal, and if the officials under Hedong County received an order to cover the seal, it would mean that he was not authentic.

Thinking about this, Xu Shu laughed loudly: "The prince dares to send it, why don't you dare to accept it, please!" ”
