Lu Bu, God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 342 Yuan Shao won Jizhou

But Yuan Shao said that since the disbandment of the allied forces of the princes, he was also planning to return to Bohai County to strengthen his forces and expand his strength.At this time Xu You, a counselor, came to Yuan Shao and said: "The Bohai Sea is far away, and it will be difficult for the general to return to the Bohai Sea. Now that the princes are fighting on their own, the world is in chaos. Hanoi's prefect Wang Kuang was beheaded by Lu Bu. Why don't the general sit in command with the prestige of the princes and alliance leaders?" Hanoi, the tiger looks at the world, in order to seek the king's career."

So Yuan Shao did not lead his troops back to Bohai but stationed in Hanoi to wait for the opportunity.

At this time, although the allied armies of the princes have been disbanded, Yuan Shao has accumulated a high popularity through this war. Everyone in the world regards Yuan Shao as a banner against Dong Zhuo, but a small Hanoi obviously cannot satisfy Yuan Shao's appetite. .

So Yuan Shao convened a meeting and asked all the civil and military officials: "Fang is in power today, and the princes stand side by side. I, Yuan Shaokong, have the talent to serve the country, but I have no place to use it. What do you think should be done?"

"Report to Duke Yuan, now that Duke Yuan has annexed Hanoi, there are two places he can take. One is Yanzhou, which is the hinterland of the Central Plains. The general can use it to plot the world. There are countless damages, among which Yanzhou suffered the most serious damage, so it is necessary to make great efforts to govern Yanzhou. The second is to take Jizhou. The country is rich and the people are strong, and the general can take it to raise troops and go to the four states of Hebei, and then advance to the Central Plains. There are plans." At this time, Feng Ji, a counselor, took a step forward and said to Yuan Shao.

"Um, should I take Jizhou? Or take Yanzhou?" Facing Jizhou and Yanzhou, Yuan Shao was a bit undecided, but Yuan Shao still had self-knowledge because he didn't want to have both states.

"My subordinates believe that the general should take Jizhou first. First, the general developed in Jizhou in his early years and is quite familiar with Jizhou. Second, since Jizhou is rich and the people are strong, the general just raises troops to plan Hebei." At this time, a middle-aged scribe beside Fengji stood up. Said that this person is Tian Feng, another counselor of Yuan Shao.

"Oh? Han Fu, governor of Jizhou, has always been on good terms with me. If I take it, I'm afraid that people in the world will say I'm wrong." Yuan Shao said with some thought, turning his eyes.

"You don't need to worry about Duke Yuan. You only need to order people to send books to Han Fu. You only need to say that Yuan Gong's army is short of food and he asked Han Fu to borrow food. If not, we just have an excuse to capture Jizhou." Tian Feng said with a light smile.

"What do you guys think?" Yuan Shao nodded after hearing this, but still asked everyone.

"I have a plan to take Jizhou, but Mr. Tian Feng's plan should be implemented first." At this time, Feng Ji said with confidence.

"Tell me quickly what clever plan Mr. Feng Ji has." Yuan Shao said with great interest when he heard it.

"Report to Yuan Gong, now Beiping Gongsun Zan, with the help of Liu Guan and Zhang, has defeated Liu Yan and taken Youzhou, and the limelight is in full swing. Yuan Gong only needs to send a letter and meet Gongsun Zan to take Jizhou together. I believe Gongsun Zan will definitely Reluctantly agree, as long as Gongsun Zan's cavalry jingle in Hanfu is unstoppable, then the general will surely be able to take control of Jizhou and become the lord of Jizhou as long as he excuses to help Han Fu." Feng Ji said leisurely: "But before that, Yuan Gong needs to follow the rules of Mr. Tian Feng. The suggestion is to first ask Han Fu for a sum of food to solve the problem of our army's lack of food and grass. We must go south to Jizhou. No one dares to be sure that it will be safe. Once there is a war, this batch of food and grass will come in handy."

"It's just that our army is destined to fight Gongsun Zan in this way?" At this time Xu You said with some doubts, Gongsun Zan's strength must be very strong in Zhongmou's first battle.

"Hehe, Gongsun Zan has just captured Hanoi now, but Gongsun Zan has already taken Youzhou. Duke Yuan wants to take Hebei, and a battle with Gongsun Zan is inevitable. Gongsun Zan will take this opportunity to eliminate Gongsun Zan in one fell swoop. In the future, Gongsun Zan will be full-fledged, and with the help of Liu Guanzhang, I'm afraid we will have to pay a higher price if we want to win." Hearing Xu You's question, Feng Ji said with a chuckle.

"Okay, let's do as the two gentlemen Tian Fengfengji said, take Jizhou first, and as for Gongsun Zan, I also want to see his ability." Yuan Shao finally decided with a pat on the thigh.

Afterwards, the development of things did not disappoint Yuan Shao. After receiving Yuan Shao's letter, Han Fu immediately sent someone to send food and grass to Hanoi to support Yuan Shao.At the same time, Gongsun Zan, who received Yuan Shao's letter, was also preparing to enter Jizhou.

"I heard that the general is going to attack Jizhou, but I don't know why." Just as Gongsun Zan was about to leave Jizhou, Liu Bei suddenly brought Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to ask.

"Hehe, it's my brother, you're here. Look, this is a letter from Yuan Shao, asking me to attack Jizhou together." Seeing Liu Bei approaching, Gongsun Zan laughed, took out the letter Yuan Shao had written to him, and said.

"This Han Fu, although he can't be called a virtuous person, has been conscientious since he took charge of Jizhou, and he was not at fault. Why did Yuan Shao invite his elder brother to attack him?" Liu Bei asked with a puzzled face after reading the letter.

"Haha, what my virtuous brother said is that money and food will be plentiful for a few weeks. Naturally, everyone wants such a treasure land of geomantic omen. Although Yuan Shao is a descendant of a famous family, he has a great reputation and a large number of soldiers. He really can't occupy a decent place. How could he not covet Jizhou, a land of geomantic omen?" Gongsun Zan laughed, but said without hesitation.

"If the princes of the world are fighting on their own, how can the great Han and North Korea be revived?" Liu Bei said helplessly.

"Your brother said yes, but to revive the Great Han Dynasty, the first thing you need is strength. If it weren't for the bravery of Guan and Zhang back then, how could the princes of the world recognize you, Liu Bei, as a prince of a town? Now the world has no strength, no territory. It is even more difficult to say that it is a revival of the great man. I am afraid that it will be even more difficult to survive. My brother is a kind person, so I don’t want to participate in this kind of thing. The Pingyuan County under my rule is the place where Zhang Jiao preached. In the future, this place will be severely damaged, and it just needs to be governed by a virtuous person like the virtuous brother. If the virtuous brother does not dislike it, he will settle down there first. However, Gongsun Zan could tell that Liu Bei was a man of great ambition and would never be inferior to others, so Gongsun Zan wanted to place Liu Bei in Pingyuan. Although Pingyuan is a county, it was deeply influenced by the Yellow Turban in its early years So that he is not rich now, let Liu Bei manage the plains, Gongsun Zan is not afraid that Liu Bei will cause any trouble, so Gongsun Zan can concentrate on dealing with the affairs of Jizhou.

"This Gongsun Zan is really abominable. As the prefect of Beiping, he not only sent troops to drive away Liyouzhou Mu Liu Yan, but also occupied Youzhou. Thinking about raising troops is not good for Jizhou, what do you think should be done?" Han Fu, governor of Jizhou, held his hand One of the military newspapers, said to many of his advisers angrily.

At this time, Guo Tu, a subordinate of Han Fu's sect, stood up and said, "This Gongsun Zan is extremely powerful. He just won Youzhou, and Liu Guanzhang is his side to help him in the battle. The general is at a disadvantage in fighting Dongran. It is better to invite Yuan Shao to cooperate with him. Manage Jizhou, so that Jizhou can get a strong support, and the general will naturally have no worries."

"No, general. Although Yuan Shao is strong now, he doesn't have enough food and grass. If we didn't supply him, I'm afraid Yuan Shao would not be as powerful as he is today. General Shi Enhui has been with Yuan Shao for so long, but he has never asked Yuan Shao to do anything for us. The matter is now just to send troops to fight against Gongsun Zan, so that Gongsun Zan's troubles can be easily solved. Why should the general manage Jizhou together with Yuan Shao? Besides, as long as Yuan Shao enters Jizhou, Jizhou is probably Yuan Shao's world. How can there be a general to speak? share." Hearing Guo Tu's opinion, Chief Shi Diwu came out to object.

"Don't say any more, I, Han Fu, am a former official of Yuan's family. If it wasn't for Yuan's family back then, how could Han Fu be where I am today? A man should drink water and think of his source. Besides, my talent is not as good as Yuan Shao's. Now, the world is in chaos, and it is just for heroes." At the time of Wu, my talent, Han Fu, could not keep Jizhou safe, but Yuan Shao's talent could conquer the world, so letting Yuan Shao be in charge of Jizhou, whether it is for me or you, or even for the people of Jizhou, it is the best. matters." Saying that, Han Fu waved his sleeves, and sent someone to send a letter to Yuan Shao, inviting Yuan Shao to jointly manage the affairs of Jizhou.

However, within a few days, Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses had already arrived outside Xindu, the capital of Jizhou. Seeing Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses in strict order, with mighty might, made one's heart shake.

"Hahaha, Yuan Shao is worthy of being the son of the Yuan family. His soldiers and horses are far beyond my imagination. With such soldiers and horses to help me garrison Jizhou, what else should I worry about?" Originally, Han Fu was still a little worried that Yuan Shao would not be able to catch up in time. After arriving in Xindu, Yuan Shao had already led his troops to the city of Xindu within a few days after sending out the letter, and he was immediately overwhelmed with excitement.

"My lord, why should you be so optimistic? I think Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses are not only strict, but also faintly murderous. It can be seen that Yuan Shao's wolf ambition has long been given to us in Jizhou. My lord may wish to think about it. Our letter was only sent out for a few days. Yuan Shao The soldiers and horses will arrive soon. Could it be that he, Yuan Shao, knows how to count? Knowing that Gongsun Zan is going to send troops to Jizhou, and knowing that the lord will ask him for help, so he prepared the soldiers and horses early in the morning? Wouldn't his subordinates be willing to use this seven-foot body to try? Try Yuan Shao's intentions, and please agree." Di Wu shouted to the Xindu generals behind him: "You guys, Yuan Shao, have come here to compare Jizhou to me. As a son of Jizhou, how can we be slaughtered by others? Come out of the city with me to kill Yuan Shao, please come with me." As Di Wu stepped down the city, a general behind him was moved by Di Wu's pride, and followed him down the city wall, but it was the school lieutenant Guan Chun .

"Yuan Shao, you are so ambitious that you dare to take Jizhou, then ask about the sabers in our hands first." Not long after, the gates of Xindu opened wide, and a group of men and horses rushed out. The first two generals were Di Wu and Guan Chun. .As soon as these two men came out of Xindu City, they shouted and rushed towards Yuan Shao. After the two of them, Han Fu led Jizhou civil and military soldiers and walked out slowly, but they came to meet Yuan Shao.
