Fang Xuanling glanced at the letter quickly, with a little surprise in his eyes.

After reading it, he handed the letter to Luo Yi who was next to him.

"It seems that we have to step up our pace after all." Fang Xuanling's eyes showed a little worry.

In the battle of Liyang, the collapse of the Yuan family was really too fast, so fast that it exceeded his imagination.

The four prefectures of Hebei and the two prefectures of Qingbin have all fallen into the hands of others. The two wings of the Yuan family have been cut off by others. It may not be easy to regain their original power.

Right now, among the Yuan family's sons.The eldest brother Yuan Tan lost Qingzhou, even if he was lucky enough to come back with his life, there is no hope of seizing the heir in this life.The youngest, Yuan Shang, didn't have a single soldier in his hands, so what could be done only by Yuan Shao's deterrence.

From this point of view, the second eldest, Yuan Xi, has more than one hundred thousand soldiers in his hands, and is powerful in northern Xinjiang.As long as there is a small change in Jizhou, the iron cavalry can quickly go south and clear the civil strife in one fell swoop.

But before that, the outside must first be settled inside.

Although Youzhou is good, there are too many enemies around.

Let's not talk about Gongsundu in Liaodong, just take the northern grassland.It took Yuan Xi a lot of effort to destroy Wuhuan, but he didn't expect to make a wedding dress for others in vain.

Right now, the Jie people, who were originally slaves to the Huns, occupied the grasslands left by the Wuhuan people and continued to grow, even gathering fifty thousand troops.

Even though he didn't dare to go south to compete with Yuan Xi for the moment, but with so many enemies behind him, how could Yuan Xi dare to devote all his strength to Hebei.

"Of course I know what Mr. said. But right now, the Xianbei people, the Huns, and the Jie people, the three tribes are really too peaceful. The more they are like this, they must be secretly planning some ulterior secret. If I general Mobilize southward, they attack, how can Youzhou resist."

"Young master, why do you want to build up other people's ambitions and destroy your own prestige. With me, Luo Yi, I will definitely let these Hu Kou come and go."

Fang Xuanling said with a smile: "With General Luo here, we in Youzhou are naturally not afraid of the barbarians. But right now, I think it is a good time to recover Liaodong."

"Gongsun Du?" Yuan Xi's hand stopped in mid-air.

He only occupies Youzhou in name, and the area he controls is only in the west of Liaoning.And Gongsun Du in the Liaodong area, although he is his subordinate, has his own army and his own administration, and he doesn't take himself as the governor at all.

"According to the spies' reports, Gongsun Du's deadline is approaching, and all the Liaodong army has gathered in Lelang. If there are any problems with Gongsundu, there must be civil strife in Liaodong. This is the best time for us to take over Liaodong."

Yuan Xi's eyes flashed with excitement.

Only by mastering Liaodong, can I, the governor of Youzhou, truly deserve my name.

Cao Anmin, Yuan Shang, I can't do anything to you for the time being, but I have nothing to fear from the little Gongsun Du.

Chapter 383 Yuan Tan Was Finally Captured

Outside Ju County, Yuan Tan was limping along, his face was covered with a lot of plaster, his body was also ragged, and he couldn't see his original appearance at all.

Originally, he planned to go to Zhu Xu, but he didn't expect that when he heard that Lu Weihuang had surrendered halfway, the [-] troops also completely surrendered to Cao Anmin.

The only hope was shattered, and Yuan Tan no longer reported any plans to make a comeback.Right now he just wants to leave earlier, leave Qingzhou, and go back to Jizhou.

Back to Jizhou, the shortest journey is from Ju County to Linzi.

Originally, Yuan Tan still had horses to travel, but he didn't expect that when the horses broke through the siege in Duchang, they were secretly injured, and died suddenly after running not far.Relying on only two legs, Yuan Tan managed to walk the hundreds of miles and arrived at the foot of Ju County.

It's just that everything has changed.

Seeing the handsome Cao flag fluttering over the city, Yuan Tan was filled with emotion.

Cao's army advanced aggressively, and the entire battle in Beihai and Donglai was over.The people once again returned to their previous lives.

Cao Anmin was worried about the candidate for the governor of Qingzhou.

It stands to reason that the most powerful in politics under his command is Zhao Pu, the first prime minister of the Northern Song Dynasty.But according to his records in the history books, Cao Anmin finally decided to guard Qingzhou with Wang Anshi as the governor of Qingzhou.At the same time, the original state of Qi was changed to Qi County, and Chen Gong was appointed as the prefect of Qi County.

The first thing Wang Anshi did as the governor was to mobilize a large number of craftsmen and materials from the rear to help the people build their homes and rest the city.

Under his drastic actions, the people quickly settled down.

Looking at the bustling crowd in front of him, Yuan Tan instinctively wiped off the ashes on his face.

"Stand up, don't be crowded." Several soldiers of Cao Jun maintained order and began to check one by one.

Cao Anmin and the others couldn't relax their vigilance even if Yuan Tan, the rightful lord, hadn't found his whereabouts for a day.

For Yuan Tan, Cao Anmin really hated him to the bone.If it wasn't for him, it would be impossible for Qingzhou and Xuzhou to start such a big war, and it would be impossible for Li Tong and so many soldiers to die because of it.

But Yuan Tan can't die now.

A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Although Yuan Shao experienced Liyang's disastrous defeat and lost the two prefectures of Qinghe, as the richest and most valiant prefectures in the world, if Yuan Tan's death attracted him to lead the army Attacking him would be Yuan Tan's biggest mistake.

Therefore, Yuan Tan can't die no matter what, even if he dies, he can't die in Qingzhou, by his own hands.

"You...you wipe your face clean."

The two soldiers noticed Yuan Tan's strangeness, and immediately pointed at him and shouted loudly.

Yuan Tan's heart skipped a beat, and just as he was about to dodge, he was snatched away by the soldiers.

"It's you, why are you hiding?"

If it was the past, not to mention small soldiers like them, even if a prefect dared to treat him like this, he would have been beaten to death with a stick, and his head fell to the ground.

But today, he was being bullied by dogs in Huluopingyang, even though he was embarrassed by two small soldiers, he didn't dare to show the slightest displeasure.

"Second soldiers, military lord, why are you arresting me, I am a good citizen!"

The two soldiers of the Yuan army were only doing routine inspections, but seeing Yuan Tan's strong reaction, they couldn't help but feel suspicious.

"A good man, if you still hide, I don't think you look like a good person."

Yuan Tan was already guilty, and the more they dragged him around, the more intense his resistance became.

"What are you doing? There's a large crowd, pulling each other out here. Is there still military discipline?"

At this moment, a man with the posture of a centurion of Cao Jun came over, glared at his subordinates, and fixed his eyes on Yuan Tan again.

"My lord, we thought he was suspicious, so we went to Manchu. Unexpectedly, this guy's resistance became more and more fierce. I can assure you that something is wrong with him." One of the soldiers shouted loudly.

Another soldier at the side is also in line with the Tao, it seems that he also agrees with his companion's words.

The centurion did not immediately draw a conclusion, but observed Yuan Tan.

"Young master, can you show me your hand?"

"Hands? What are you looking at my hands for?"

A slight smile appeared on the centurion's face.

With years of experience, he can guarantee that there must be something wrong with Yuan Tan in front of him.
