Some people rejoice, some people are sad.

Just up and down Puyang City, warmly celebrating the arrival of the first day of the New Year.

It is located in the north of Dongjun, in Jizhou, on an official road from Fucheng County to Tangyang County.

A soldier with several flags on his back was hurrying down the road.

The soldier silently calculated that his location was not far from Tangyang County, and the anxious look on his face couldn't help but ease a little.

And at the same time.

In the county capital of Tangyang County.

Jizhou Mu Han Fu and his military generals are gathering together.

The atmosphere in the hall was a bit gloomy, and everyone was silent, but if you looked closely, you could see that the expressions of the people present were a little tired.

There are many generals wearing armor, and there are vague signs of damage, which can be described as full of embarrassment.

And Han Fu, as the chief official of a state, was even more resentful at the moment, and his face was resentful.

It took a long time.

Han Fucai took the initiative to break the silence.

After coughing dryly, he said in a slightly difficult tone: "The koji thieves are cunning and cunning, and there are many brute soldiers under his command, and his strength should not be underestimated. ”

"We are from Gaoyi, and we are tired soldiers from afar, and the koji thieves have been entrenched in Fuliu County for a long time, which can be said to be deep-rooted, and many preparations are not sufficient to fight them in such a hurry."

"It is inevitable to lose for a while if you have no intention to have a heart, so I hope you can rebuild your morale and not be depressed because of this."

With Han Fu can't help but be inspired.

The civil and military officials finally cheered up a little, but the sense of frustration that had always hovered over everyone's heads never dissipated.

See this.

After standing up and bowing slightly to Han Fu, he suddenly raised his voice and said in a slightly impassioned tone.

"Although the koji thief won a lucky victory, the troops under his command are scarce, and compared with our army, it is really insignificant, and he has more than enough defense and not enough progress."

"Even if our army makes many mistakes, Lu Yi will not be able to move our foundation at all; On the contrary, as long as he makes a mistake once, what awaits him is a dismal end of losing all the games and the defeat of the whole army! ”

"Therefore, as the prince said, the loss of one time and one place is nothing, as long as we can hold on, we will definitely be the ultimate winner!"

As the tone was set by the two bigwigs in succession.

The morale in the heart of Wen Wu under his command can be regarded as completely recovered, and he is no longer as sluggish as before.

……

A glance at the past.

Seeing the people sitting below, their faces had eased, and all the sorrows had dissipated.

Han Fu glanced at each other with some relief.

Morale has finally recovered.

Otherwise, I really don't know what to do next.

In fact, speaking of this battle, Han Fu felt a little aggrieved, he didn't recruit anyone or provoke anyone, he simply wanted to lead the troops and calm down a thorn that popped out from under his hands.

It turned out to be a big heel here!

A few months ago, the general Lu Yi, who had been entrusted with important tasks by Han Fu, openly rebelled, entrenched in the area of Fuliu County and Xindu County in Anping State, and no longer accepted the order of the state government.

If so, that's fine.

But this guy is not satisfied with only a small part of Anping Kingdom, and often leads troops to attack Julu County, which is located west of Anping Kingdom.

This can be regarded as touching Han Fu's bottom line.

After all, as a relatively virtual Jizhou pastor, Han Fu's actual control of the territory is not large.

Only the southern part of Changshan Kingdom, the entire territory of Julu County, and the entire territory of Zhao Kingdom, and the southern part of Anping Country are remarkable.

It's just a matter of losing the middle position of Anping Country, anyway, he has short hands, and he can't reach it every day.

But if even Julu County is lost, then what else does he, the pastor of a state, have in his hands?

I'm afraid that before Yuan Shao came to take away his Jizhou, he had already lost all the chips in his hand and honestly rolled off the table.

……

Precisely because of this.

In order to assert his authority, and to deter other people from all walks of life.

Han Fu decided to lead his troops to recruit in person.

Prepare to use the head of the koji to kill the chickens and monkeys, and use blood to stabilize these swaying territories.

However, the imagination is beautiful, but the reality is full of cruelty, Han Fu was directly taught by Lu Yi to be a man.

The koji thief who originally thought to him that as long as he sent troops to recruit, he could quickly exterminate it, but he burst out with a powerful combat power that Han Fu had never expected.

Han Fu set out from Gaoyi County with more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to attack Fuliu County, but in the wilderness, he was intercepted by the ambush soldiers of Liyi halfway.

was directly caught off guard.

The soldiers under his command abandoned their armor and fled all the way.

Thanks to the fact that there are not many soldiers and horses under Lu Yi, this gave Han Fu the opportunity to retreat to Tangyang County, collect the defeated soldiers, and regroup, otherwise I am afraid that one wave will be lost.

It is precisely because of such defeats.

Only then did there be a bleak scene above the hall, shrouded in clouds, and gloomy clouds.

……

"Ladies and gentlemen......"

Just as Han Fu spoke, he was about to discuss with his subordinates how to fight Lu Yi next.

Outside the originally quiet hall, there was a sudden noise of noise.

Then there was a rush of footsteps.

Before Han Fu could call someone to ask, a soldier dressed as a herald appeared outside the door.

"Fujun, the military situation is urgent, at the junction of Youzhou and Jizhou, there is a military emergency!"

Listen to the hoarse shouts of the soldiers.

Han Fu's heart suddenly jumped.

A sense of foreboding came over us.

"Quick, get the military information on!"

As the letter box was handed in his hand, Han Fu couldn't wait to cut the seal with a knife, and then pulled out the small strip of cloth hidden in it.

That's just a short paragraph.

However, it was such a few lines of text that made Han Fu's eyes darken, and he almost fainted on the spot.

"Gongsun Zhan, the general of Fenwu, has transferred 20,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry, and has crossed the border of Jizhou, and is coming from Hejian Country to Julu County and Changshan Country, with the intention of attacking Fujun and seizing Jizhou!"

……

At this moment, how much Han Fu hoped that this information was fake, and what was written on it was just false words.

However, after checking and verifying the authenticity, the facts completely shattered the luck in his heart.

This information was indeed sent back by the eyes of the other counties and counties in Jizhou.

In other words, everything above is true.

At this time, Han Fu was completely panicked.

He lost to Lu Yi with more defeats and fewer losses before, but he was not as flustered as he is now, it was really Gongsun Zhan, and the sense of oppression brought to him was too strong.

Han Fu is confident that with the strength in his hand, after grinding with Lu Yi, he will finally be able to take the advantage, even if he loses in successive battles, he can retreat to Gaoyi County, and Lu Yi has nothing to do with him.

However, Gongsun Chan is different!

This white horse general, but the master who eats people and does not spit out bones, has many generals under his command and has strong combat effectiveness.

The previous defeat of the 300,000 Yellow Turban Army in the Dongguang Realm was known to the whole world, and Han Fu asked himself that with his three or two efforts, it was definitely not enough for Gongsun Zan to drink a pot.

And looking at this menacing posture, most of them are going to completely take away his Jizhou, and directly make him unable to even be the official of Jizhou Mu.

This is a completely different concept from the local labor pains of Lu Yi, which is to cut off his roots!

Han Fu's complexion changed for a while.

The people below were also shocked.

But fortunately, while Han Fu was flustered, he was able to maintain a certain amount of calm and sanity after all.

Fold the letter in his hand, Han Fu pretended to be calm and said to the people below: "It's not a big deal, Gonghe, Wenwei, and Bodian stay, and the rest of the people go down first and wait for my next order!" ”

Although everyone was puzzled, they still followed Han Fu's instructions and retreated in turn.

Only Fu Zhu, Geng Wu and Min Chun were left.

……

Wait until everyone is gone.

Han Fu had been trying to maintain his expression, but he finally couldn't hold it anymore, and the whole person suddenly let out a sigh of relief.

"Alas!"

He let out a long sigh full of powerlessness.

Han Fu leaned behind his back and threw the previously folded document forward, then shook his head with a wry smile on his face and said.

"Let's take a look!"

The three of them immediately gathered together and quickly finished reading the headlines.

When they raised their heads, their faces also became the same as Han Fu's, slightly ugly.

However, what is rare is that compared to Han Fu's panic, Fu Zhu and the others can barely maintain their composure.

Changshi Geng Wu took the lead in moving forward.

Then he said in a calm tone: "The prince of the palace does not have to worry, although Gongsun Bogui is strong and strong, Jizhou is by no means a place for him to come and go. ”

"There is still Yuan Shao, the Taishou of Bohai County, in Jizhou, such a powerful figure, how can Gongsun Zhan lead his troops to attack us without any scruples?"

"We only need to send someone to contact Yuan Benchu in Bohai County, so that it corresponds to us, and the 30,000 soldiers and horses led by Gongsun Chan this time will be divided into half before the battle."

"If this is the case, our army may not be able to fight with it, or even win it!"

Geng Wu's words made Han Fu shake his head.

"If Bohai County guards Yuan Shao too much, he also wants to seize Jizhou and take it for himself?"

Geng Wu was immediately silent.

As a powerful figure under Han Fu, how could he not know that the situation in Jizhou is now divided.

As it says.

If you send someone to invite Yuan Shao and echo your own side, the most likely result is that Yuan Shao ignores it and reaps the benefits.

Even if Yuan Shao agreed to this, it was probably just to drive away the evil wolf and open the door to welcome the tiger.

……

"Fujun, the top priority is to immediately stop the war with Koji Yi, and temporarily cede the central part of Anping Kingdom to him, and don't fall into the quagmire and suffer the enemy on both sides."

"As long as our army can retreat to Gaoyi County as quickly as possible, with our deep roots there, we will be able to fight Gongsun Chan for a long time!"

Frustrated, he bowed his hand to Han Fu and said.

However, Han Fu still just shook his head.

"How can it be entrenched, with the strength of our army, how can we defeat the powerful Gongsun Bogui, but they are just trapped and waiting for death."

Han Fu showed no confidence.

Seeing this, he could only shake his head helplessly.

It's not that Han Fu is as timid as a mouse, it's really that the gap between the combat effectiveness of the two sides is too big, and everyone present, including Fu Yu, knows this.

Gongsun Zhan's record is really too luxurious.

Especially in the field of marching and fighting, if they write down their past experiences in a book, I am afraid that their eyes will be blinded.

No matter how arrogant and self-aware you are, you should face up to the difference in strength between the two sides.

Not to mention, now that Han Fu himself does not have many troops, this time to conquer Lu Yi, to be able to transfer more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, it is already quite a big deal.

The quantity is not comparable, and there is also a gap in quality.

How does this work?

It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, no matter how powerful a strategist is, if he does not have the corresponding combat power at hand, it will be difficult to level the gap between the two sides.

So for a moment, the hall was as silent as death.

Fu Zhu and the others racked their brains, thinking hard about how to solve the crisis in front of them.

Half an hour later.

I heard don't drive Min Chun, and I held back a sentence.

"If we can have reinforcements at this time, then maybe everything will be solved!"

Exactly this sentence.

Han Fu, who was originally a little decadent and depressed, suddenly widened his eyes, and a burst of confusion shot out of his eyes.

……

"Smack!"

Han Fu slapped his face violently.

Then he suddenly got up.

The whole person walked back and forth on the high platform, pacing rapidly left and right, and while walking, his mouth was still muttering frantically.

"Reinforcements...... Reinforcements! ”

"Yes, we have reinforcements, and I have an agreement with Cao Mengde, the son of Yanzhou Mu Cao Mengde, the Taishou Cao Ang Cao Zixu of Dongjun."

"Once Jizhou loses, he will lead his troops north and come forward to resolve the crisis for us."

"I'll write a letter now, and immediately send someone to Puyang, Dongjun, to ask Cao Zixuan to come and save me!"

It was as if he had seen a glimmer of light in the night, and had grabbed a reed when he was on the verge of drowning.

Faced with a glimmer of life at the moment of crisis, Han Fu was a little crazy.

And Geng Wu and the others had never heard Han Fu mention this matter before, so they were a little shocked and inexplicable when they saw their own lord behaving like this.

Geng Wu and Min Chun, one left and one right, rushed forward to support Han Fu, and then gently persuaded him.

"Fujun, please don't be impatient!"

"Fu Jun, what is the matter with this agreement you are talking about, this Cao Zixuan will really come to the rescue of me, is it Gongsun Zhan who is facing it!"

……

was slightly dissuaded by two cronies.

Han Fu can be regarded as slowly calming down from Fang Cai's crazy mood.

"Shhh...... Call! ”

After taking a deep breath, Han Fu wiped the cold sweat that broke out on his forehead, and then explained to Geng Wu and the others.

"Now, it doesn't hurt to tell you some things, this matter is the agreement I made with that Cao Zixuan outside Luoyang City when we and the other coalition forces were crusading against Dong Zhuo."

"It's just that the content of the agreement is that once Yuan Shao plots against Jizhou, he will send troops to help, the purpose is to curb the momentum of Yuan Shao's strength, so as to protect Yanzhou occupied by his father Cao Mengde."

"Since it was Gongsun Chan who attacked this time, I never thought of him before, but now that I think about it carefully, Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao seem to be no different, they both came from the whole territory of Jizhou."

"And Gongsun Chan is ambitious, once he occupies Jizhou, Yanzhou will be even more dangerous, and Cao Zixuan will definitely not sit idly by!"

When everyone heard this, they all looked at each other.

After thinking about it carefully, after the information revealed in Han Fu's words, he couldn't help but nod secretly.

Cao Ang's goal was to preserve Yanzhou, so he would try to keep Jizhou in its current situation.

As a very important corner of the chess game of Jizhou, once there is something missing, it will lead to the unification of Jizhou.

This must be something that Cao Ang cannot tolerate.

From this point of view, the logic can be described as quite sufficient, and Cao Ang has every reason to go north.

Just out of an abundance of caution.

Frustrated but still asked: "Fu Jun, I have also heard of the name of Cao Zixuan, who is a talented person in the world, and it is rumored that he also has the style of a famous general in the world." ”

"Such an ambitious person, once we lead him into Jizhou, if he has other plans with Yuan Shao, wouldn't it lead the wolf into the room?"

……

Faced with frustrated doubts.

Han Fu just waved his hand firmly.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"Gongsun Zhan has soldiers and generals, Yuan Shao IV and the third duke, and they have the strength to annex Jizhou."

"What does Cao Zixuan have?"

"Besides, instead of worrying about this, we should worry about ourselves, if there are no reinforcements to help, then I am afraid that the end is a dead end."

"I can't even save my life, who cares what situation Jizhou will fall into?"

Han Fu said a few words, and then blocked his frustrated worries.

In his opinion, this worry is purely superfluous, and Cao Ang's hard power is there.

I didn't dare to contact Yuan Shao, and I didn't dare to let Gongsun Zan call him, because these two guys really had the strength to destroy him.

But Cao Ang is different!

Although he invited Cao Ang to come to help, he believed that his strength was good, even if he couldn't be alone, he could join forces with him and compete with either Yuan Shao or Gongsun Zhan.

But Cao Ang's overall strength is limited.

Unless all the soldiers of Xingyanzhou go north, Han Fu still has the power to protect himself.

……

Seeing that Han Fu's attitude was so resolute.

Frustrated and no longer questioned.

just took the opportunity to ask: "Fu Jun, you let this Cao Zixing army go north, it must not be at no cost, I don't know what we need to pay?" ”

Speaking of which.

Han Fu couldn't help but have a smile on his face.

He turned to the map hanging beside him, and then pointed to Wei County, which was located in the southernmost part of Jizhou.

"As the Taishou of Dongjun, he can't blindly raise troops, that will lose the truth of the world."

"Therefore, once I want to invite him to the north, I must assign Wei County to him and appoint him as the general of Wei County, which is the price I need to pay."

Speaking of which.

The smile on Han Fu's face was even more overflowing, and he was actually smiling quite happily at such a stressful moment.

"Wei Jun is not under my control in the first place, if he wants it, I will give it to him, why not?"

Han Fu felt that he had earned it.

Using something that doesn't belong to him, as a bargaining chip and price, to invite Cao Ang to relieve him from the siege, no matter how you think about this matter, it's a profitless deal!

Just looking at Han Fu's rather smug expression, he faintly felt that something was not right.

But I can't say what the problem is.

After thinking about it carefully, he didn't notice anything wrong, so he could only bow slightly.

Together with Geng Wu, Min Chun and others, they saluted.

"As the prince said, at the price of Wei County, in exchange for Cao Zixuan leading his troops north, to help us solve the current crisis!"

……

After making up your mind.

Han Fu doesn't talk much nonsense.

immediately sent a letter, and then sent someone to expedite it for 800 miles and quickly sent it to Puyang County, Dongjun.

No matter how many horses are killed on the road, they can reach their destination as quickly as possible.

And at the same time as sending people for help.

Han Fu also decisively gave up continuing to entangle with Lu Yi and ordered the whole army to withdraw to Gaoyi County.

He had to be prepared.

Make sure you keep what you have!
