However, Yuan Shao's eyes lit up when he heard the words.

The power of the strange ball was verified in his own camp last night.

This thing can be used to sneak attack on the enemy's camp, and it can also be used to attack the city. It is really a sharp weapon for offense and defense.

Yuan Shao, who has suffered from him, naturally still remembers it fresh, and said to Yan Liang immediately: "Wen Heng, take the cavalry to the west and search for me. You must find the strange ball."

"It's the lord!" Yan Liang immediately took the order, and after Yuan Shao left, he clasped his fists at Xu You and said, "Mr. Ziyuan, it's your suggestion to search for strange balls. Find them to capture them."

Xu You smiled and said: "Of course, come to General Yan Liang, let's talk in detail."

Originally, Yuan Shao's Jizhou faction and Yingchuan faction had many disagreements, and they secretly competed.

Xu You deliberately proposed Yan Liang to perform this meritorious service in front of Yuan Shao. Naturally, it was calculated, and it was to strengthen the strength of the Yingchuan faction.

Otherwise, he would have asked Yuan Shao to propose this method and sent people to track down the hot air balloon.

At that time, Yan Liang had not yet returned, and Yuan Shao would most likely let the generals sent by Jizhou go, because the people of Jizhou were more familiar with this area.

In this way, they Yingchuan faction will not be able to get any credit.

Originally, the attack on Qingzhou this time did not achieve any meritorious service, and it also lost troops.

If they can take advantage of this opportunity to recover some losses, the strength of the Yingchuan faction will be even more stable.

Chapter 624

After Yuan Shao retreated to the north, in order to avoid misunderstandings by Gongsun Zan's troops, he did not go to the nearest Ganling City.

Because it is the prefecture of Qinghe County.

It's okay to borrow excuses, but if you borrow Fucheng, it is estimated that Gongsun Zan's subordinates will have a misunderstanding.

So Yuan Shao's army traveled north for a day, and then went west, walked along the line of Dongwu City, and entered Julu County from Jieqiao.

Tobu Castle has been mentioned in many previous articles, but it has not been elaborated.

This time I have to talk about this place.

Because there is a big family here who is related to the descendants of the Jin and Tang Dynasties.

Qinghe Cui family, the later five surnames Qiwang.

The old root is in Tobu City.

At this time, the Cui family Yijing is a famous family.

It is the county prestige of Qinghe, and the first family of Qinghe deserves its name.

Therefore, the Cui family controls a lot of industries in Qinghe County, and has sufficient authority in Qinghe County.

Since Yuan Shao took over Jizhou, he has written many times to invite the Cui family, hoping to get the support of the Cui family.

However, they did not get a positive response from the Cui family.

Later, Xu Ding helped Gongsun Zan lose Qinghe County, so Yuan Shao never wooed the Cui family.

Now that he was passing by this place, Yuan Shao had this thought again.

So the army stopped at Tobu City.

The Cui family led all the country gentry, county magistrates and captains to welcome Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao was very useful, and the Cui family, who always liked to answer and ignore them, was very understanding this time.

But he understands that this is because he has an army of [-] to [-] in his hands, and Qianglong can not only crush the snake, but also hit Qicun, killing you several times.

"It's a great honor for you to see the elite of Jizhou when you return to Jizhou after hard work." The Patriarch of the Cui family glanced at the low morale, soldiers are not soldiers, and generals are not generals. He opened his eyes and babbled for a while, then made a gesture of invitation and said:

"The city has prepared wine and water, set up a banquet, and respectfully invite the envoy and the generals to enter the city!"

"Okay! Patriarch of the Cui family, please!" The basic etiquette is still to be observed, Yuan Shao also showed the bearing of the Yuan family and the master of Jizhou and made the same gesture, and then entered the city with the Patriarch of the Cui family.

The banquet was held at Cui's house, not in the government office.

It was a private banquet, so that Gongsun Zan's people would not think too much about it.

Yuan Shao talked and laughed with the Patriarch of the Cui family, talking while walking, and soon came to the hall.

The host is the Patriarch of the Cui family, who should have been in the first place, but he sat on the upper right side, opposite to Yuan Shao, who is the upper right side.

It fully demonstrated the family's etiquette and respect for Yuan Shao, saving him embarrassment.

Soon, good wine and meat will be served, and there will be singing girls to add to the fun.

After three rounds of wine, delicious food, and the hospitality of the Cui family, Yuan Shao asked, "To tell you the truth, the Cui family's master, our army is now at a disadvantage in attacking Qingzhou, so we have to withdraw to Jizhou. The next step is to expand our troops to the north and west. What do you have to teach me!"

"Don't dare to be taught. The Lord of Fu is the master of Jizhou. You have resourceful people like Ziyuan and Yuantu under your command, and fierce generals like Yanliang and Zhang He in Wu. Why worry about the future." The head of the Cui family played a set of Tai Chi road:

"I'm an old man who doesn't care about world affairs. I only want to be happy and rich. How can I see Dong's world affairs!"

Yuan Shaodao: "The head of the Cui family doesn't need to underestimate himself. No one in Qinghe knows that the Cui family has great achievements in the world. There is a leader like you who is far-sighted, wise, courageous and courageous at the helm."

"Hahaha, the envoy has passed, and half of his body is buried in the soil. How can he be wise and brave?" The Patriarch of the Cui family stroked his beard with a smile.

It is worthy of being the descendant of the fourth generation and the third prince, who has the cultivation of a great family.

Everyone carried the sedan chair, and the aristocratic family relied on the tacit understanding of each other to flatter each other, so Yuan Shao and the head of the Cui family were very familiar with it.

Nonsense is enough, and Yuan Shao doesn't play Tai Chi with the old man anymore, because if you keep bragging with him, he can talk to you till tomorrow.

This kind of boring trick can be played occasionally. Yuan Shao didn't have so much time to waste on the Cui family, so Yuan Shao then said: "Patriarch Cui, do you think Xu Ding and Gongsun Zan will fight, who will win in the end?"

Patriarch Cui said: "Without the help of the envoy and Liu Bei, Gongsun Zan would definitely be defeated!"

Yuan Shao also recognized this very much, Gongsun Zan's foundation is still a little weaker, and Youzhou was only won last year.

Moreover, the management is extensive. In name, it occupies half of Jizhou and most of Youzhou. In fact, his real base is only in Youbeiping, Liaoxi and Yuyang counties. Other places are in the hands of aristocratic families from all over the world. bigger. "

Moreover, he is extremely short of well-trained infantry, all cavalry represented by the Baima Yiren.

Xu Ding also has cavalry, although the number is smaller than Gongsun Zan's, but they are well equipped, and every one of them is an elite.

In addition, Wuhuan surrendered last year and was incorporated into the Guiyi Army, which also has a large number of war cavalry.

So Gongsun Zan does not have any advantage.

Moreover, he was threatened by Xu Ding's navy.
