Three Kingdoms King of the North

Hearing what Hua Tuo said, Han Zhan immediately made up his mind without hesitation: "In this case, we will stay in Guantao for two more days, and it will not be too late to go on our way when Rob wakes up."

After finishing speaking, Han Zhan walked to the bed, squatted down and looked at Rob lying on it, sighed softly, raised his head and said to Ba Gu who was squatting on the other side: "Ba Gu, take care of Rob. , I will trouble you."

Bagu grinned and said, "What did Marquis Ting say? Serving people is something that concubines are good at. Since Marquis Ting handed Lord Luo Jun to concubine, concubine should do her best to take good care of him. gone."

When Hua Tuo and Han Zhan came out of the house with the medicine box on his back, he whispered to Han Zhan, "Tinghou, I don't know if you have noticed that Ba Gu has some affection for Master Luo."

"I see." Han Zhan nodded and said, "I want the two of you to get married as soon as possible, but it's a pity that Rob is still in a coma, so we can only postpone the wedding date."

The next day, Guo Jia, Zhao Yun and others came to the guard's mansion and asked Han Zhan to leave for Jizhou immediately.But Han Zhan shook his head and said, "Master Hua said that Rob's injury needs to be recuperated. This Marquis plans to stay here for two more days. When his injury improves, it won't be too late for us to go on the road."

For Han Zhan's arrangement, Zhao Yun and other generals didn't care, but Guo Jia was a little anxious: "My lord, did you forget what you and I discussed last night?"

After being reminded by Guo Jia, Han Zhan also remembered sending Shi Tao as an envoy, and quickly said to Guo Jia: "Feng Xiao, if you don't remind me, I almost forgot. Since we can't go back to Jizhou for the time being, we will send Shi Tao Tao summoned him to Guantao and told him to leave for the capital from here."

Hearing what Han Zhan said, Guo Jia knew in his heart that he might not be able to return to Jizhou in the short term, so he could only say helplessly: "This subordinate will write a book for Shi Guangyuan and let him come to Guantao as soon as possible."

Seeing that Guo Jia wanted to say goodbye and leave, Han Zhan quickly stopped him and asked, "Feng Xiao, let me ask you, Chang'an and Luoyang are not suitable for setting up capitals now. Where should we place Shengjia?"

"At the beginning, the lord once said that Yuan Shao's two sons and his general Chunyu Qiong would be sent back, and he would be recommended as the shepherd of Yanzhou in exchange for him to give up Yecheng." The strategy was spoken.After he finished speaking, he paused for a moment, and then continued: "Yesterday after Yuan Shao sent troops to intercept and kill the lord, Jizhou and Yuan Shao are already at odds with each other. If we still use the original strategy, I'm afraid it won't work."

"Then what should we do?" Zhao Yun couldn't help interjecting when he heard this.

"My lord said yesterday that the acquisition of Qingzhou can be postponed until the summer and autumn season." Guo Jia said to everyone: "We are not in a hurry to take Qingzhou today. We can definitely transfer our troops here and capture Yecheng. As long as we take Yecheng, we can Build a large-scale construction project in the city to build a palace for the holy car"

The bright future described by Guo Jia made everyone nod after listening.Everyone thought in their hearts that if they took Yecheng first and built palaces in the city, they would be able to coerce the emperor to command the princes. In the future, the lord will dominate the world, and it is just around the corner.

After Guo Jia finished speaking, Han Zhan asked everyone: "Everyone, do you agree with what Mr. Guo said?" Seeing that everyone nodded in agreement, he hurriedly said: "Since everyone agrees with Mr. Guo's idea, then we will Send Jizhou troops to Guantao first, and start a war with Yuan Shao as soon as possible."

"Feng Xiao," Han Zhan stared at Guo Jia again and said, "write a letter to Shi Guangyuan as soon as possible, ask him to go to the capital, and ask Li and Guo for a hundred military officials. If there are no military officials, we only have one holy majesty." Neither."

After Guo Jia waited for Han Zhan to finish speaking, he asked him for instructions: "My lord, if you decide to attack Yecheng, why don't you bring Shengjia back to Guantao."

"Why?" Han Zhan asked curiously about Guo Jia's proposal.

"Most of Jizhou is in the hands of our army." Seeing that everyone, including Han Zhan, looked confused, Guo Jia explained to them: "But everyone, don't forget that there are dozens of miles to the east of Jizhou City. The Boundary Bridge is in the hands of Gongsun Zan. If he sends troops to attack Jizhou City while we are dispatching troops to Yecheng, the holy car may be taken away by him."

When Han Zhan listened to Guo Jia's analysis, he felt his mind was in a mess.Originally planned to marry Gongsun Zan, so that he could calmly send troops to Qingzhou and Bingzhou, and bring these two prefectures under his jurisdiction; then he lured Yuan Shao to give up Yecheng and build a new palace in the city for Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.

But at this moment, everything seems to be messed up.Gongsun Zan's soldiers and horses were staring at Jieqiao; and Yuan Shao in Yecheng hated himself so much that he even sent two people, Yan Liangchou, to try to put him to death.

Thinking of this, Han Zhan stood up and said to all the warriors: "Since Yuan Shao is so ignorant, let's teach him a good lesson. Feng Xiao immediately wrote a letter to Xun Changshi, ordering him and Zhang Xi to separate [-] soldiers. The horse sticks to Jizhou, and the rest of the troops are transferred to Guantao."

Five days later, Jizhou's army and food entered Guantao city one after another.

Both Yuan Shao and Cao Cao had their own spies in Guantao City, and news of the gathering of Guantao's army soon spread to Yecheng and Dongjun.

After Cao Cao got the news, he immediately summoned his subordinates to discuss why Han Zhan had assembled so many soldiers and horses.Cao Cao had five famous advisers: Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Xun You, Jia Xu and Cheng Yu.At this moment, the first three were already working for Han Zhan, while Jia Xu was still under Li Jue and Guo Si's subordinates. Cheng Yu was the only one who could advise Cao Cao.

Cheng Yu walked out from the line of ministers, cupped his hands towards Cao Cao, and said, "Qi Bing raised his hand, and from Yu's point of view, Jizhou soldiers and horses gathered in Guantao to attack Yecheng."

As soon as Cheng Yu finished speaking, Cao Hong went on to say: "The walls of Ye City are high and the ponds are deep. It may not be an easy task for soldiers from Jizhou to take the city."

"Jizhou has many soldiers and generals, and sufficient food and grass." Regarding Han Zhan's upcoming attack on Yecheng, he expressed his opinion: "As long as they send troops to surround Yecheng, and then divide their troops to take other cities, they will soon be able to attack the city." Isolate Yecheng. When the soldiers and civilians in the city find that Yecheng is already an isolated city, their hearts will fluctuate. At that time, Jizhou soldiers and horses will attack again, and they will surely achieve twice the result with half the effort and take Yecheng lightly."

"Mr. Cheng Yu's words are different." Cao Ren also stood up from the crowd and said to Cao Cao, "Dividing troops into battle is a big taboo for military strategists. If Jizhou's soldiers and horses are besieging the city while dividing their troops to capture other cities, once Yuan Shao's plan is defeated If the strategists see through and take the opportunity to counterattack, they may be defeated."

Cheng Yu said with a chuckle, "Don't you know, General Cao Ren, that Jizhou originally belonged to the Han family, but it was just stolen by Yuan Shao? Most of the officials in counties and counties are former members of the Han family. Many cities can be defeated without a fight."

"Mr. Cheng Yu's words are very true." After listening for a long time, Cao Cao finally spoke: "Sir, if the Jizhou soldiers and horses go to war with Yuan Shao, which side should we help?"

"The two don't help each other, just watch from the sidelines." Cheng Yu suggested to Cao Cao: "When two tigers fight, one must be injured. When the two sides are inseparable, we will come forward to make peace. If possible, we can sit back and accept With the benefit of the fisherman, I took several cities from Yuan Shao."

"That's a great plan!" Cao Cao nodded and said, "Then Mr. Yi!"

Yecheng, Yuan Shao's official residence.

When Yuan Shao learned that Han Zhan's army had gathered in Guantao, he hurriedly summoned all the warriors to discuss the matter.After everyone arrived, he told everyone about the gathering of troops in Guantao City, and then asked: "Everyone, tell me, what should we do?"

Feng Ji stood up first and said to Yuan Shao: "My lord, the soldiers come to cover the water and the earth. There are still [-] soldiers and horses in Yecheng. In addition, the walls are high and the pond is deep. It is not an easy task for the children of the Han family to seize the city. .”

Yan Liangchou, who had just suffered a defeat at the hands of Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong and others, was still in fear. Now that they heard that Jizhou soldiers and horses gathered in Guantao, they were about to attack Yecheng, and they were also a little anxious.Yan Liang hurriedly came out and said: "My lord, although there are [-] soldiers in Yecheng, most of them are new recruits who have never been in battle. If they fight with the Jizhou army, they may have no chance of winning."

Yuan Shao is a person who has no idea. Hearing what Yan Liang said, he became more and more panicked. He turned to look at Xin Ping and asked, "Mr. Xin, what do you think we should do?"

Xin Ping said thoughtfully: "What Feng Yuantu said makes some sense. If the army of the Han family children arrives, we just need to stay behind closed doors. When they run out of food, they will naturally retreat."

Five days later, Jizhou's army and food entered Guantao city one after another.

Both Yuan Shao and Cao Cao had their own spies in Guantao City, and news of the gathering of Guantao's army soon spread to Yecheng and Dongjun.

After Cao Cao got the news, he immediately summoned his subordinates to discuss why Han Zhan had assembled so many soldiers and horses.Cao Cao had five famous advisers: Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Xun You, Jia Xu and Cheng Yu.At this moment, the first three were already working for Han Zhan, while Jia Xu was still under Li Jue and Guo Si's subordinates.

Yecheng, Yuan Shao's official residence.

When Yuan Shao learned that Han Zhan's army had gathered in Guantao, he hurriedly summoned all the warriors to discuss the matter.After everyone arrived, he told everyone about the gathering of troops in Guantao City, and then asked: "Everyone, tell me, what should we do?"

Feng Ji stood up first and said to Yuan Shao: "My lord, the soldiers come to cover the water and the earth. There are still [-] soldiers and horses in Yecheng. In addition, the walls are high and the pond is deep. It is not an easy task for the children of the Han family to seize the city. .”

Yan Liangchou, who had just suffered a defeat at the hands of Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong and others, was still in fear. Now that they heard that Jizhou soldiers and horses gathered in Guantao, they were about to attack Yecheng, and they were also a little anxious.Yan Liang hurriedly came out and said: "My lord, although there are [-] soldiers in Yecheng, most of them are new recruits who have never been in battle. If they fight with the Jizhou army, they may have no chance of winning."

Chapter 231

"My lord, it's time and time." Facing Yuan Shao's worries, Feng Ji comforted him and said, "At the beginning, the lord and Gongsun Zan were inseparable because of the hatred of killing his brother. But now the power of the Han family's children is growing day by day, enough to threaten Gongsun Zan , I am afraid that he also wants to get rid of it quickly."

Xin Ping immediately agreed with Feng Ji's statement: "If the youngest son of the Han family captures Yecheng, he will be free to take Bingzhou and Qingzhou. By then, Youzhou, where Gongsun Zan is located, may be annexed by him at any time. Gongsun Zan is not willing to see such a situation, if the Lord is willing to join forces with Gongsun Zan to attack Jizhou, he must be very willing."

After some persuasion by his counselors, Yuan Shao decided to send envoys to ask Gongsun Zan and Cao Cao for help.His gaze swept over everyone, and he asked, "Who wants to ask Gongsun Zan for help?"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes focused on Feng Ji.Seeing that everyone was staring at him, Feng Ji quickly waved his hands and said, "No, no, Gongsun Zan has always blamed me for killing his younger brother. If I go to Jizhou, I will definitely be torn to pieces by Gongsun Zan. My personal The matter of life and death is small, if you miss the important matter of the lord, there will be no redemption."

Xin Ping knew that even if the knife rested on Feng Ji's neck, he would not go to Youzhou to ask Gongsun Zan to attack from north to south, so he took the initiative to invite Ying and said, "My lord, my subordinates are willing to go!"
