On the afternoon of the sixth day of the first lunar month, the summer sun is shining, the light rain is clear, and a touch is bent in the sky. Lu Hui was not in the mood to enjoy the beautiful scenery outside the window, he was reporting the experience of the envoy Gongsun Chan with a serious face. Zhang Han nodded thoughtfully from time to time, indicating that he was listening attentively. In fact, his mind was no longer here, and Gongsun Zhan's request did not surprise him.

With Youzhou Mu Liu Yu here, Gongsun Zan wants to cultivate his own power in Youzhou, which is very inconvenient. Now, he just wants to expand his power to Jizhou, reorganize his forces here, wait for an opportunity to fight back to Youzhou, and at the same time peep into the Central Plains. The world is in turmoil, people's minds are changing, and everyone wants to do something. In other words, if the Han loses its deer, the world will chase it. So much for.

"Good! Yes, well done.

To Gongsun Chan is to be tough, don't rush to make concessions, of course, you can make some concessions if necessary, but the key issues must not be ambiguous...... The specific situation, you can grasp it yourself, take your time, we are not in a hurry......"

Zhang Han said a few words casually, and suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, I will, I gave you an order last time......"

"Here!"

Lu Hui hesitated for a moment, turned sideways from his body, took out the order of the general of the chariot cavalry, and handed it over with both hands. An attendant had already rushed forward and took it, Zhang Han saw that it was indeed correct, so he put it on the case and patted it casually, but there was no intention of handing it over to Lu Hui.

"I won't give you this, Xindu originally had 8,000 soldiers and horses, Zhang Huan led 20,000 troops to Xindu, Zhao Fu led 10,000 troops to reinforce it, and Xindu already had nearly 40,000 soldiers and horses, including cavalry......"

"Yes!"

Zhang Han's meaning is very clear, and Lu Hui will not misunderstand. At this time, at that time, Han Fu was more cooperative than he imagined, Jizhou was not chaotic, Zhang Hanxing had spare strength, and there was no need to make too many concessions.

"Yes, what do you think, what is the character of Gongsun Zhan, should we give in a little or not give ...... at all?"

Obviously, Zhang Han is trying to stall for time at the moment. Lu Hui pondered for a moment.

"My lord, it's better to make a little concession, but don't make too many concessions......"

Gongsun Chan can't talk about being ambitious, his personality is more stubborn, tough, and easy to get an inch, so he has to make a little concession before he can continue to talk, but he can't show weakness.

"Oh, how is my cousin Sun Fan for the river?"

"My lord, no! Gongsun Zhan is a person who has won Longwangshu, it is better to watch Gongsun Fan as the captain of Wuhuan......"

Zhang Han glanced at Lu Hui in surprise, Lu Zhi wouldn't do this.

"Good! That's it...... Yes, what questions do you have? ”

Seeing Lu Hui go out, Zhang Han couldn't help muttering in his heart, there are two times to sow discord, and I don't know who I learned from......

"Wen Zang, have the reinforcements arrived in the plain?"

"Didn't all arrive. those who have arrived, about four thousand; There are still 6,000 reinforcements on the way, and it will take another three days.

May is the busy season for farming, and at the beginning of June, Zhang (Jian) Zhizhong mobilized the Liumintun Guard; Lin's new army only completed its training at the end of May, so Zhang Zhizhong only sent 10,000 new troops to the plains at the beginning of June......"

"Oh, that's right," Zhang Han looked up at the rainbow in the sky and gave an order:

"Order Zhang Huan not to provoke Gongsun Chan for the time being, as for whether to raise troops to the north, and send troops to Bo, let him decide himself;

Order Zhang Chao to send a detachment of troops north to the Bohai Sea after all the reinforcements arrive, and order the navy to provide support......"

In this way, Xindu garrisoned 40,000 troops, plus more than 10,000 partial division soldiers into the Bohai Sea, forming a two-sided attack, and none of them could be easily defeated by Gongsun Zhan.

"How's the war going in Jibei?"

"It wasn't very smooth.

There are a total of five cities in Jibei Kingdom, three of which have been occupied by our army, and Bao Xin is currently only in Lu County. However, when our army occupied, there was no resistance, and Bao Xin took the initiative to shrink his forces and abandon the three cities......

Right now, Captain Zhang (Lu) is storming Pingyin City, trying to cut off the connection between Lu County and peace......"

Pingyin City is close to Jishui and is a small city under Lu County, located between Lu County and Peace. The defense of Pingyin City is mediocre, the city is low and shallow, and it should not be difficult to attack it......

"How?"

"The forward Zhang Chang attacked lightly and was ambushed by Bao Xin, thanks to Zhao Wujie's strength and not defeated, but he lost more than 300 troops......"

"Zhang Chang?"

Zhang Han frowned, Zhang Chang is a graduate of the second phase of ethnology, in Zhang Han's impression, he is not an arrogant person. However, on the battlefield, anything can happen, and it goes without saying. Zhao Wujie is the corrector in the second phase of the selection of servants.

"Yes! Captain Zhang has relinquished his position and deposed to the ......"

"Oh......"

Zhang Han didn't say more. Since Zhang Lu pushed Zhang Chang to the end, there must be conclusive evidence, and most of the time there are situations such as unfavorable command in battle, and the details are known afterwards, but there is no need to study them in detail at this moment. The first to ascend is a death squad, charging into battle to attack the city and destroy the enemy, and the first to ascend must rush to the front, and the mortality rate is extremely high - it can be said that this is the heaviest punishment besides execution.

However, after this incident, it is expected that no one will be negligent anymore. Bao Xin's military strength is inferior, equipment is inferior, intelligence is inferior, and training is inferior...... Failure is a matter of time. In this way, it is also Seon's fault.

"Wen Zang, is there any news from Wang Wenxiang?"

Two days ago, Zhang Han got the news that Yu Fuluo came out

In the county area, Wang Wenxiang was sentenced to lead 5,000 troops to go to the crusade. Dawn solstice? In the county area, Wang Wenxiang was sentenced to lead 5,000 troops to go to the crusade. Dawn solstice? In the county area, Wang Wenxiang was sentenced to lead 5,000 troops to go to the crusade. Dawn solstice? In the county area, Wang Wenxiang was sentenced to lead 5,000 troops to go to the crusade. Dawn solstice? In the county area, Wang Wenxiang was sentenced to lead 5,000 troops to go to the crusade. Dawn solstice? In the county area, Wang Wenxiang was sentenced to lead 5,000 troops to go to the crusade. Dawn solstice? The Ying and other garrisons were 36,000 people, and hundreds of villages were set up, and the Yuan army wanted to cross the river to fight, and the best strategy was to contact Yu Fuluo and others to cooperate with each other.

Yuan Shao was in Yang, leading Dong Zhuo into Beijing and causing chaos in the world; Then, Yuan Shao raised troops to fight Dong in order to make a big deal; Then, Han Fuke withheld grain and grass, and the people who begged Dong had different aspirations, and the army was old and useless, and when they were in a dilemma, the Xiongnu Shan Yu Fuluo and Zhang Yang reversed - both of them were recruited by Yuan Shao - and entered the two states of Kou and Ji Yan, and Yuan Shao was able to enter Ji Yan again......

That's a coincidence! If Yuan Shao is not a big sweeper, there are ghosts in it. This conclusion is somewhat funny, and there is no evidence to make people believe it, Zhang Han has never told anyone. But in private, he thinks so.

"No new news......"

Zhang Han discussed the military situation with Xi Zhicai for a while, he was a little absent-minded, and as he spoke, a sentence suddenly popped up:

"Wen Zang, you said that Yuan Shao came to envoy, what is your intention?"

"Yuan Shao sent it, there are only two possibilities:

First, what the envoy said was false, and Yuan Shao sent the envoy to paralyze us;

This doesn't make sense, no matter how careless we are, we won't relax our guard at the beginning of the war, and the longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it will be to Yuan Shao.

The second is that Yuan Shaojun's grain and grass reserves are less than we imagined, and they can't hold on...... It seems that Wen Jieke's grain and grass are really good......"

Speaking of this, Xi Zhicai couldn't help but make a joke.

On the third day of the sixth month, Geng Bao, a messenger sent by Yuan Shao, arrived in the county. Geng Bao claimed that Yuan Shao had already presented himself as a pastor in Yuzhou, but he had no grain and grass, asked for 500,000 stone grain and grass, and asked to take Yuan Shao and others' families away.

Frankly speaking, when Zhang Han heard the news, he was speechless for a long time, he waved 100,000 troops into Jizhou, and he made up his mind to fight with Yuan Shao. Unexpectedly, Yuan Shao wanted to leave without a fight. Zhang Han's initial reaction was that this was fake, and Feng Ji wanted to lie to him. As a result, Zhang Han categorically refused the request for grain and grass - "If you want grain and grass, you can bring troops to get it!" Zhang Han did not directly refuse the rest of the requests, only said that they needed to be considered.

At the same time, Zhang Han sent another order to Zhang Ying, asking the Liyang battalion to increase vigilance and strengthen vigilance, and doubled the sentries and patrols of the county battalion, and doubled the number of open posts, secret posts, and latent posts.

Zhang Ying received the order, but it was not as exaggerated as Zhang Han. The Liyang battalion was at the forefront of the battlefield, and there were no major battles, but the reconnaissance of Yuan's army crossing the river and the infiltration of small units would occur several times a day. Originally, it was heavily guarded. Zhang Ying only emphasized the vigilance slightly, reminding everyone to be careful of Yuan's sneak attack across the river.

However, after thinking about it for a few days, Zhang Han believed Geng Bao's words a little. In fact, in the analysis of the staff room, Yuan Shao's southward movement was also put forward as one of the possibilities. Of course, the staff office overestimated Yuan Shao's grain and grass reserves, and Zhang Han also overestimated Yuan Shao's strength, and the two affected each other, so Zhang Han turned a blind eye to this.

Xi Zhicai's thoughts are different from Zhang Han's. He looked at the forces of all parties more objectively, in his eyes, Zhang Han took precautions, Qingzhou already had the initial strength, enough to sweep the princes from all walks of life. However, Zhang Han's caution, Xi Zhicai did not object.

Among the three forces of Han Fu, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan, the most important thing for Xi Zhicai is Han Fu. Han Fu has a strong war potential and can fight Qingzhou. And Yuan Shao and Gongsun Chan do not have this condition. Qingzhou can support an army of 100,000 to fight abroad for a year without worrying about lack of supplies. Taking a step back, if Qingzhou loses this battle, it will not shake the foundation of Qingzhou - of course, Zhang Han died in battle, that is another matter.

Therefore, the most important thing for Zhang Han at present is not anything else, but to assimilate the Jizhou forces, make them like an arm, and truly unite with Qingzhou. This goal, with the active cooperation of Han Fu, is being achieved rapidly. Every day, in addition to handling military affairs, Zhang Han has to meet with many important officials in Jizhou, contact feelings, and imagine the future. It can also be said that the official made a wish to win over and buy something. Naturally, Zhang Han also had to meet Han Fu every day - Han Fu's whole family had already arrived, and he was desperate to join Zhang Han and did not look back. However, snubbing Han Fu is not a wise move.

In this case, if Yuan Shaoruo waved his army south, it would be impossible for the Qingzhou army to catch up from behind. The big river moat was separated in the center of the two armies, and it was difficult for Yuan Shao's army to cross the river to the north, and it was not easy for the Qinghai-Hebei coalition army to go south.

"Wen Zang, are you saying that Yuan Shao is really going south?"

"True or fake, what does it matter?" Xi Zhicai smiled freely, "We respond to all changes with inconvenience, it's enough......"

"But ......"

Zhang Han was a little unwilling, well, he was also a person who had to look forward to Shu. If Yuan Shao can be eliminated at this time, it will save a lot of trouble in the future......

“……”

For this delusion, Xi Zhicai is not ready to express his opinion.

Zhang Han thought about it for a moment, then gave up:

"Wen Zang, what do you say about Yuan Shao's family members?"

"My lord, I don't have any good advice for this."

Xi Zhicai hesitated, "Supposedly, we can choose to detain him or release him." However, even if the lord releases everyone, I'm afraid no one will say anything good about you! However, detaining people

, it will damage the reputation of the lord.

Moreover, Yuan Shao may cross the river to attack ...... when he is angry."

"Crossing the river to attack? Crossing the river to attack ......"

Zhang Han's eyes lit up, he muttered twice, and couldn't help but sigh: "Wen Zang's idea is good, it is very troublesome to cross the river to pursue, but if Yuan Shao crosses the river to attack, it will be even better......

ordered Zhang Chao to send the families of Yuan Shao, Feng Ji and others to Lin after occupying the Bohai Sea;

ordered Hua to send Cao Cao's family to Lin;

ordered Han Zhang to send the Liu family to Lin;

Ordered Zhang Jian to open up a separate lane outside the city, and resettle the above-mentioned people together......

By the way, I have to write to each of them.

The letter to Cao Cao said that Mount Tai was unstable, and in order to protect the life and property safety of the Cao family, I specially received it and asked him to rest assured. Forget it, I'm writing this letter myself, and I'm going to make them feel that I care about it......"

Only then did Zhang Han remember that under his rule, there were still many hostages to hold.

"Uh," Xi Zhicai laughed and laughed, but sincerely, pull it down, he suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, Yuan Shao and others, it can be said that the Bohai Sea is not safe. The problem is, Liu's family is in Donglai, but they have been safe and sound, what to say? ”

"This, in fact, is not difficult, God knows, you know and I know, and they also know, so they say that the Bohai Sea is windy, and it is endangered...... Is Liu from Muping or from Dongmu? ”

Zhang Han casually made up a reason.

"......" Xi Zhicai was really speechless this time.

It is a common thing to punish Lian, and people who are a little ruthless will generally act as if nothing happened. For example, Xiang Yu once threatened to stew Liu Bang's father into broth, and Liu Bang naturally said, Okay, when the time comes, I will share a bowl. As a result, Xiang Yu was embarrassed, and Father Liu was spared. However, like Zhang Han's threatening letter written so gently and elegantly, Xi Zhicai has never seen it.

"Report! Bohai Taishou Yuan Shao's envoy Geng Bao asked to see. ”

While the two were talking, the person came. Glancing at each other, Zhang Han found that Xi Zhicai was smiling very treacherously. Of course, Xi Zhicai also feels the same way. Zhang Han hurriedly said a few words to Xi Zhicai, and then invited Geng Bao to come in.

"Geng Bao meets the general!"

Geng Bao was a tall and thin middle-aged man, and as soon as he entered the hall, he bowed down first. Zhang Han accepted the salute, and then returned the half-salute. Respecting others means respecting yourself, and Zhang Han has always done a good job in this regard. He returned the salute and said:

"Bofeng, why be so polite, please get up quickly, please get up quickly, please get up quickly......"

Geng Bao did not obey his orders, and after saluting respectfully, he sat down in the guest seat. Yuan Shaojun has no food, but he can't afford to delay, Geng Bao has been anxious for the past two days, and as soon as he sat down, he didn't care whether he was polite or not, so he got straight to the point:

"General, I wonder what you're thinking?"

"Bofeng," Zhang Han smiled, a corporal of Lixian and amiable appearance, "Don't worry, I've already thought about this matter." However, there are a few questions that need to be explained by Bo Feng......"

"If the general has something to say, just open his mouth."

People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads. Feng Ji said with a smile, his smile was a little bitter.

"Yuan Bohai is a good Bohai Taishou, why do you suddenly want to go south?"

Geng Bao's chest rose and fell sharply, this was clearly a knowingly question, if it wasn't for Zhang Han inserting a lever into it, how could Yuan Shao go south to Yuzhou. However, you can think about this, but he can't say it, he laughs more bitterly than Huang Lian:

"General, my lord has been away from his hometown for a long time, and now he is homesick......"

Geng Bao will definitely not say that there is a shortage of food, anyway, Yuan Shao went south and also fought with Yuan Shu for Yuzhou, and their brothers fought by themselves, and Zhang Han did not dwell on it here:

"Oh, I see. I've already explained this matter to Wen Zang, Bofeng, you can talk to him, I still have some ......."

When Zhang Han said this, he confessed and left. The next bargain, he was not good at being there.

Geng Bao knew that it was not good, this was to talk about the conditions. Geng Bao couldn't keep it, it was better to have conditions to talk about than nothing, but fortunately, when he came, he was ready to bleed.

As expected, as soon as Xi Zhicai spoke, he was sharp:

"Bofeng is here, it won't be empty words, just want to pick people up, right?"

“……”

What else can I say about this, people are swordsmen, I am fish and meat, and I am slaughtered. Geng Bao explained the conditions one by one, but Xi Zhicai would not agree, and Zhang Han intended to take him hostage. At this time, the negotiation was just Zhang Han telling him to delay time.

In short, time is on Qingzhou's side, and the longer it is delayed, the more advantageous it will be.

Xi Zhicai opened his mouth, and Geng Bao endured it in every possible way, but he couldn't reach an agreement on the same day. Not only that, but Xi Zhicai also added more requirements the next day. For three days, Geng Bao didn't get anything done.

On the fourth day, June 11, Zhang Han handed Geng Bao three sealed letters, one for Yuan Shao, one for Cao Cao, and one for Liu. As for Yuan Shao's current subordinates, only Feng Ji can barely see it, but Zhang Han will forget about it, and the rest of the people are not worthy of him to write a personal letter.

PS: Today's update will also be in the evening, but it shouldn't be too late. I'm sorry for the inconvenience I have caused you these days.
