Ju Su shook his head and said, "Judging from the speed of Gongsun Zan's demise, I'm afraid Li Huiyi is more fearful than we imagined."

"That's why I thought that not only should I rush back to Qingzhou to set up defenses as soon as possible, but I should also notify Liu Bei and Cao Cao to send troops to contain Li Huiyi."

Zhang Yan in Yecheng is quickly encroaching on Gongsun Zan's remaining forces, so Li Huiyi should be able to stop him all the way?

Yuan Shao rubbed his chin and said, "Sir, is it a trivial matter? This Marquis is not Gongsun Zan, who is so vulnerable."

Ju Sui said: "My lord, according to the information we have found, Li Huiyi's troops are mostly from foreign races, and they are well-equipped."

"Since the alien race has been known for its ferocity, now it has been trained by Li Huiyi for a long time, and it has long since changed its loose habits. It removes the dross and preserves its essence. My lord, don't be careless."

Yuan Shao frowned and said, "But now that Yuan Shu is proclaiming the emperor, Liu and Cao are leading the army to attack. It's the fierce battle at this time. Will they divide their troops?"

Yuan Shu belongs to the Yuan family, and so does Yuan Shao. Although the two are at odds, if one of them is destroyed, the strength of the Yuan family will suffer.

Let Liu and Cao divide up their forces to contain Li Huiyi at this time, I'm afraid they will think that Yuan Shao is looking for an excuse to rescue Yuan Shu.

Xu You said: "My lord, Li Huiyi is coming very aggressively. If he is allowed to take Qingzhou, one-third of the big man will belong to him. Who is his opponent in the world?"

"Cao Cao and Liu Bei are both shrewd people. They will not fail to understand the benefits, so they will definitely send troops to help."

Mobilizing the princes from all walks of life with one force, it seems that Li Huiyi is already a big shot who can stir up the situation.

Yuan Shao rolled his eyes back and forth and said, "Okay, then who is willing to ask for help?"

Xu You said: "My lord, you and Cao Cao had some friendship, so it shouldn't be a problem to persuade him to send troops."

Chapter 375

"Alright, let's go to Cao Cao's office from Ziyuan." Looking away from Xu You, Yuan Shao said to the examiner, "Then Liu Bei, let's take a hard trip to Zhengnan."

The examiner clasped his hands and said, "My lord, don't worry, I will surely convince Liu Bei to send troops."

Yuan Shao said: "Very well, everyone, hurry up and get ready, I will rush back to Qingzhou to set up defense."

Now that the decision was made, Yuan Shao made a decisive decision and ordered the army to move out and rush back to Qingzhou. After all, marching and fighting, the most taboo is hesitation.

After half a month of defense, the two counties of Pingyuan and Le'an have been guarded by Yuan Jun's heavy troops, and every hour, there are horses galloping back and forth, as if they are in a state of emergency combat readiness.

Dongping Mausoleum City is close to the two counties, and is under the protection of the two counties. Yuan Shao personally stationed troops here, so that he can dispatch troops and generals in time to keep abreast of the latest battle situation.

But today, a special guest came to Dongping Mausoleum.

In the wing room of Yuan Shao's temporary mansion, a dignified and elegant woman in her forties was sipping tea in a cup, looking at the aura exuding from her body, she must be from a noble family.

Although she has entered the age of forty, her face has fine wrinkles, but it can't hide her natural beauty, and she must be a peerless beauty when she is young.

The tea in the pot has been refilled three times. The lady sipped the last cup carefully, got up slowly, and walked out.

Seeing the noble lady leaving, the servants at the door hurried forward to say hello: "Madam Zhang, Lord Hou will be here soon, please wait for a while."

The lady shook her head and said, "Although the Zhen family is said to be a humble woman in power, it is not a soft persimmon that allows others to bully it."

"Since Lord Hou is busy, Madam Ben won't bother me. I'll go back to clean up Qingzhou's property, return to Yecheng, and work hard to manage the three-acre land so as not to be angry here."

It turns out that this noble lady is the current head of the Zhen family in Yecheng. Why would a woman be the head of power when women's rights were low in the Han Dynasty.

Let's start with the short-lived man of the Zhen family, Mrs. Zhang, is Zhen Yi's wife and Zhen Mi's biological mother.

Three brothers, Zhen Yi, took over as the head of the family successively, but unfortunately they were all short-lived, while most of the descendants of the Zhen family were mediocre, but ambitious, each of them wanted to take power, which made the Zhen family restless.

The Zhang family couldn't stand it any longer, so in the name of her late husband and the remaining cronies, she summoned the elders of the clan, seized power and took temporary control of the Zhen family with lightning speed.

Although dissatisfied people accounted for the majority, under Zhang's resolute means, they could only choose to surrender and wait for the opportunity.

Mrs. Zhang is also a smart person, knowing that it is difficult for a woman to stabilize the Zhen family, so she can only find a backer to help stabilize the situation. It just so happens that Chen Gong also needs to find a family of an aristocratic family to deal with some difficult matters.

One needs a backer and the other needs an agent. The two hit it off and reached an agreement immediately.

With Chen Gong's help several times, the Zhang family gradually stabilized their footholds, firmly controlled the Zhen family, and avoided the situation of being torn apart.

In order to repay Chen Gong, Mrs. Zhang also tried her best to help him stabilize Yecheng.

Now that Li Huiyi is gaining momentum, the Zhang family knows that this is an opportunity for the Zhen family to rise up, and they will devote all their efforts to complete what Chen Gong asked.

And this time I came to Yuan Shao to solve the matter Chen Gong asked.

Seeing that Mrs. Zhang was angry, the servant hurriedly said: "Mrs. Zhang, don't be angry, the villain will notify you again, you just wait a while, don't embarrass the villain."

Zhang's almond eyes opened, and said coldly: "Okay, I'm waiting for a cup of tea, if the waiter still doesn't come, my wife will leave immediately."

"Okay, the villain will notify you right away." The servant responded and quickly ran away.

Mrs. Zhang took a look and went back to the house.

In a room not far from the wing room, Yuan Shao looked at the person who came to report and asked, "She really said that?"

The servant replied: "Return to Lord Hou, it is absolutely true."

The Zhen family's property is spread all over the cities of Qingzhou. At this time, when the war is approaching, if there is internal turmoil, it will be internal and external troubles.

Originally, she just wanted to suppress the Zhen family, but she didn't expect her to turn against the general.

Yuan Shao stood up after thinking for a while, and walked out with big strides.

"Hahaha, Mrs. Zhang has been waiting for a long time, I will apologize first." Yuan Shao greeted her with a smile as soon as he entered the wing room.

Reaching out to not hit the smiling person, Mrs. Zhang quickly stood up and returned the greeting with a smile.

After the two of them exchanged polite words, Yuan Shao said, "Madam Zhang is so anxious, what is the matter?"

Mrs. Zhang smiled and said: "Master Hou, why do you have to pretend to be stupid, do you have to tear your face? You are old and a woman, but it doesn't matter."

Yuan Shao grinned and said, "Okay, Ming people don't say dark words, are those books and papers made by Li Huiyi? I asked you to sell them to Qingzhou, hoping to raise funds to cause panic."

Mrs. Zhang said expressionlessly: "It is the best proof that no one from the Zhen family works in Li Huiyi's camp. With Master Waiting's wisdom, why bother to ask questions.

"It's impossible to say that Li Huiyi didn't participate at all. After all, I'm a woman. The Zhen family didn't find a backer, and it was already divided up by other families."

"If Lord Hou wants some benefits, the old man can also make the decision and distribute [-]% of the money earned in Qingzhou to Master Hou."

What this said is indeed reasonable, no matter how powerful the family is, in this troubled world, without power, without soldiers, there is no self-protection.

Yuan Shaodao: "Twenty percent, the war is coming soon, and I am also in urgent need of money. If Mrs. Zhang agrees, I will not only return the seized paper and books, but also order officials from all over the country to help sell them."

[-]% and the cost is not excluded. This Yuan Shao is really a big talker, but fortunately he believes it. Right now, he needs to buy food, and it is not impossible to give him some discounts.

Mrs. Zhang wondered: "Master Hou speaks, I have to obey, but the [-]% is too much, and Chen Gong only wants [-]%."
