Chapter 483 The Generosity of Xi Zhicai
Lure the enemy to go deep?
When Zhang Baiqi got the news that Chunyu Qiong had fled all the way to the Yuan family, he thought to himself, but the handsome Heishan Qu beside him wanted to pursue him all the way.

Whether it was the Zhang Jiao era, the Zhang Niu Jiao era, or the Zhang Yan era, the pursuit battles of the Black Mountain Army have always been defeated by the officers and soldiers, but Zhang Baiqi has also learned a lot of lessons from the defeats.

Zhang Baiqi took Yu Digen's elite as the vanguard and went straight to Yuanshi, and he personally led [-] elite young men to advance in turn.

Yuan's oath to defend the war will be staged again.

Balhae County.

Gongsun Fan was appointed by Yuan Shao as the new prefect of Bohai. As soon as Gongsun Fan arrived in Bohai, he integrated the soldiers of Bohai County and the private soldiers of the gentry to attack the Yellow Turban of Qingzhou beside Zhangshui.

Most of the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou collapsed, Xu He died in the army, Guan Hai and Guan Tong took advantage of the chaos and fled. Gongsun Zan ordered General Yan Gang and Wang Men to lead his troops to escort Tian Kai to the post of Governor of Qingzhou.

As a result, most of Qingzhou, including Pingyuan County, Qi State, and Le'an County, belonged to Gongsun Zan's tribe, and Gongsun Zan's momentum was greatly shaken.

When Gongsun Zan got most of Qingzhou, he remembered the matter of attacking Jizhou with Yuan Shao. It was agreed that one person would get half of Jizhou. Now Gongsun Zan is only given a barren Bohai County.

So Gongsun Zan stationed troops in Dongguang, recalled Yan Gang and Wangmen, and ordered Liu Weitai, the divination master, to set up an altar to ask for divination, and planned to send troops to Jizhou.

"My lord, Liu Bingzhou (Liu Bei) is only seeking to meet me because he is engaged in drama."

Gongsun Zan was worrying about worn out armor, and one of his sworn brothers, Le Hedang, brought him joyful news.

Since Liu Bei moved Lucheng to Jinyang, Gongsun Zan’s armor in Lucheng has dropped sharply. In addition, Liu Bei’s own armor has greatly increased after the Xiongnu, Zhu Zhi, Baibo, and Xianbei rebellions, so the armor for sale has suddenly decreased. , and the appearance is not as good as before.

This is also the reason why Gongsun Zan stopped at Dongguang. Baima Yicong's armor should be repaired, and the arrows used by the cavalry are seriously insufficient, which is not enough to defeat Jizhou.

Xi Zhicai came to deliver a pillow when he was really sleepy at the moment when he asked for a meeting.

"Quick, please."

Gongsun Zan was overjoyed.

"My lord, wait a minute."

Guan Jing, Gongsun Zan's chief clerk, stopped him.

Gongsun Zan looked at Guan Jing and said, "Shiqi, what's wrong?"

"My lord, the Heishan army in the west of Jizhou is now fighting with Yuan Shao's army in full swing. The Lucheng army has also sent troops. Liu Bei's main force is still in the grassland. Xi Zhicai is not in Lucheng. Why did you come to Dongguang to see the lord?"

Guan Jing asked back.

Gongsun Zan was taken aback, and said, "Could it be that he wants someone to send troops to Jizhou immediately?"

Guan Jing said: "My lord is wise. My lord and Liu Bei ruled the roost in Youzhou together. They newly broke the Yellow Turban of Qingzhou and took over most of Qingzhou. Their reputation is greatly shaken. Even if the Lucheng Army and the Black Mountain Army are together, they may not be enough to resist Yuan Shao. If Liu Bei wants to keep The two counties of Zhongshan will definitely instigate the lord to send troops, and under the pressure of the lord, Yuan Shao will definitely mobilize troops from the west to fight against the lord."

Gongsun Zan nodded when he heard the words: "What does that scholar mean by saying that I shouldn't be a talented person?"

"No, my lord should meet, and I have to agree to Xi Zhicai's request."

Guan Jing said meaningfully: "Lucheng's armor is excellent. When we don't have enough armor, we can't refuse Liu Bei's request. We agree to it, but the Lord must grasp the opportunity to send troops. Only in this way can we extract enough troops from Lucheng's army." benefit."

"Ok!"

Gongsun Zan nodded. With the expansion of the territory, Gongsun Zan's army will inevitably expand a lot. If the army's expansion cannot keep up with armor, the combat effectiveness of the expanded army can be imagined.

"How about seeing him first?"

Gongsun Zan said.

Guan Jing complimented, "My lord is wise."

Xi Zhi had been left on the air for a while, so he naturally understood what Gongsun Zan meant, so he handed over the list he had brought to Le Hedang, and Le Hedang took a breath when he saw the number of supplies on the list, so he didn't dare to hesitate to see him immediately Gongsun Zan.

Gongsun Zan was watching the divination master Liu Weitai's calculations, so why not wait for Liu Weitai to finish his calculations.

Gongsun Zan looked at the sweaty Liu Weitai and asked, "How is it?"

Liu Weitai's face was full of exhaustion, but he said excitedly: "Return to the lord, it's a sign of great auspiciousness."

Gongsun Zan's expression relaxed, Liu Weitai's calculations can be said to have never failed, Gongsun Zan used this calculation to win one battle after another, and every time he won more with less.

"Brother Liu really counts!"

Le Hedang spoke at the right time.

Only then did Gongsun Zan realize what Le should do, and said, "Brother Le, when will you come?"

It is well known that Gongsun Zan's three sworn brothers were at odds with each other, but it is rare for Le Hedang to praise Liu Weitai nowadays.

Le Hedang took out Xi Zhicai's list and handed it to Gongsun Zan, saying, "Master, let's take a look at this list first."

Gongsun Zan took the list, glanced at it, and shook his hands uncontrollably, shouting again and again: "Okay, okay, okay! Xuande deserves to be a certain junior brother! Haha! Quickly, go get the soldiers to get up."

Although Guan Jing didn't like Liu Weitai and the three of them, these three had great influence on Gongsun Zan, and Guan Jing didn't want to offend them, so he had to be out of sight and out of mind. When Gongsun Zan was with them, Guan Jing automatically avoid.

The three brothers also automatically avoided Guan Jing. Unexpectedly, Gongsun Zan would break this routine now. Liu Weitai stared at the cloth in Gongsun Zan's hand. What was recorded on it made Gongsun Zan so excited?
Thinking of Le Hedang's recent association with Lu Chengjun, it must be a gift from Lu Chengjun to Gongsun Zan.

Liu Weitai's guess was correct, it was indeed Xi Zhicai's gift to Gongsun Zan, but the amount of the gift was a bit large, so big that Guan Jing's eyelids twitched when he saw it.

30 sets of fine armor, [-] sets of leather armor, [-] handles of the first knives, [-] large shields with hooks, [-] large shields covered with iron, [-] handles of long halberds, [-] bows and crossbows, and arrows. [-].

With such a heavy gift, Gongsun Zan could have tens of thousands of elites in an instant without having to worry about armor.

Guan Jing suddenly felt that this list was a bit hot, not to mention hot, even if it burned his hands, he had to continue. Whether Gongsun Zan could dominate Hebei depended on this experience.

Guan Jing took a few deep breaths and said, "My lord, did Xi Zhicai tell you when to send troops to Jizhou?"

Gongsun Zan looked at Le Hedang, who shook his head lightly: "Mr. Xi said that he wants to meet the Lord."

"Scholar up."

Gongsun Zan looked at Guan Jing, and Guan Jing said without hesitation: "See you, and you must see him with great fanfare, so that everyone in Dongguang knows that my lord wants to meet Liu Bingzhou's counselors, and we are going to form an alliance with the Lucheng Army. You can still sit firmly in Yecheng."

"Yes, Not Bad."

Gongsun Zan nodded.

That night, Gongsun Zan invited the Dongguang gentry, the generals and advisers of the army to clean up the dust for Xi Zhicai, and openly said at the banquet that Liu Bei and his teacher came from the same school, and the two should go hand in hand.

The news of Lu Chengjun and Gongsun Zan's Bai Ma Yi Cong's intention to form an alliance and merge Jizhou spread all over the world in an instant.
