I have three hundred soldiers, all of whom can warm wine and kill Hua Xiong

The news that Wei Chu led the Eighteen Cavalry of Tiandao Guards to pacify the Southern Barbarians quickly spread back to Yizhou.

When Zhang Ren and others heard the news, they were so shocked that they couldn't help but open their mouths.

"Zhang Ren, are you sure the news is true?"

Li Yan asked Zhang Ren in a low voice for the second time.

Originally, Li Yan planned to follow Wei Chu to the Southern Barbarians and make great contributions, so that Lin Chu could see how powerful Li Yan was and take Li Yan seriously.

Li Yan never thought that Wei Chu would pacify the Southern Barbarians with only eighteen riders.

Zhang Ren nodded heavily, a trace of bitterness flashed across his face involuntarily.

Zhang Ren and the various Southern Barbarian tribes have been engaged in offensive and defensive affairs for several years. During these years, Zhang Ren has been leading troops to passively defend.

Now Wei Chu only used eighteen cavalry to pacify the Southern Barbarians. A comparison between the two sides showed that Zhang Ren looked particularly incompetent in front of Wei Chu.

"General Wei first led the Eighteen Cavalry of the Tiandao Guards to raid the camp of the Nanzhong Barbarians, killing all the barbarian leaders such as Meng Huo, Samoko, and King Mulu. Later, General Wei conquered Zhu Rong with his own charm."

"Also, General Wei didn't know what method he used to tame more than 100 tigers in the forest. This move made the barbarians believe that General Wei was the barbarian god that the barbarians believed in. So now General Wei not only helped Yizhou eliminate the scourge of barbarians. , and General Wei also became the leader of the Southern Barbarians in one fell swoop."

"Now as long as General Wei gives an order, tens of thousands of Southern Barbarian soldiers and horses will go north and fight to the death in front of General Wei."

Having said this, Zhang Ren couldn't help but sigh.

"General Li, General Yan, I don't know why you defected to General Wei. But now I must remind you that General Wei is the one destined by fate. We must do our best to serve General Wei in the future. Don’t be half-hearted again.”

Hearing Zhang Ren's words, Li Yan couldn't help but raise his brows and said loudly: "General Zhang, the reason why General Yan and I defected to General Wei is because General Yan and I both felt that only General Wei can save us." Dahan, save the common people of Dahan."

"For the sake of the common people, we will also die in front of General Wei."

Yan Yan also nodded heavily.

"Yes, General Li and I are both loyal people. Since we have agreed to defect to General Wei, we will never hesitate again."

Zhang Ren nodded to Li Yan and Yan Yan, and then whispered: "The Southern Barbarians were easily pacified by General Wei. Next, General Wei's target will most likely be Jingzhou."

"Our role in the battle against the Southern Barbarians was limited. But in the next battle in Jingzhou, we still have the opportunity to make contributions in front of General Wei."

"While General Wei will take some time to return to Yizhou, using this limited time, the three of us can make a good plan together."

"It's natural!"

Yan Yan smiled and patted his chest and said: "I have already thought of a clever plan on how to capture Jingzhou. I will dedicate this clever plan to General Wei as soon as General Wei comes back."

"With this ingenious plan, it shouldn't be a problem for us to capture Jingzhou."

After hearing Yan Yan's words, Li Yan and Zhang Ren asked at the same time: "What's the clever idea?"

"Hahaha, don't say it now, don't say it!"

While Wei Chu was pacifying the Southern Barbarians, a major event occurred in the Han Dynasty.

General Guan Yu under Yuan Shao and Guan Hai, the commander of the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou, joined forces. Both sides gathered nearly [-] elite soldiers, defeated Xiahou Dun in Yanzhou head-on, and annihilated more than [-] Xiahou Dun's men.

Cao Ang lost a lot of troops and had to flee to Xuzhou in a hurry.

Since then, the entire Yanzhou has completely fallen into Yuan Shao's hands.

At the same time, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army also declared its allegiance to Yuan Shao after the Battle of Yanzhou.

For a time, Yuan Shao directly controlled the three states of Jizhou, Qingzhou, and Yanzhou.

This made Yuan Shao's whole body swell up instantly.

"For the first glass of wine, let's toast Yunchang together."

Yuan Shao picked up the wine glass and walked to Guan Yu with a smile.

"This time we were able to capture Yanzhou, and Yunchang is the biggest contributor. I believe that with Yunchang's efforts, we will be able to capture Yuzhou and Xuzhou soon, and finally dominate the world."

After Yuan Shao drank the wine in the cup excitedly, he smiled and patted Guan Yu on the shoulder.

When Guan Yu put down his wine glass and hugged Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao smiled and continued walking to Guan Hai.

"Second glass of wine, let's respect General Guan together. General Guan couldn't bear to see the people of Qingzhou suffer, so he defected to me with full understanding of justice. Here, I can assure General Guan that as long as I, Yuan Shao, am alive, I will never It will make the people of Qingzhou suffer again."

Hearing Yuan Shao's words, Guan Hai sneered in his heart, but said politely to Yuan Shao: "Just because of what Yuan Shao said, Guan Hai is willing to die by Yuan Shao's side."

"it is good!"

Yuan Shao smiled and patted Guan Hai on the shoulder.

"With the help of General Guan, even though I am not talented, I am sure to bring peace to the Han Dynasty, so that the people of the Han Dynasty will no longer be displaced."

After a celebratory dinner, Yuan Shao deliberately left Guan Hai alone.

"General Guan, do you know why I want to leave you alone?"

Guan Hai raised his head and glanced at Yuan Shao, clasped his fists and said, "Guan Hai doesn't dare to speculate on Yuan Shao's thoughts."

"Hahaha, you are a humble person, which is much better than Guan Yunchang."

Yuan Shao walked up to Guan Hai with a smile, stretched out his hand and pulled Guan Hai's arm and said, "General Guan, the reason why I keep you here today is because I have an important task to give you."

After hearing Yuan Shao's words, Guan Hai rolled his eyes and quickly bowed and said, "Please give me your orders, Governor Yuan."

"I want to ask you to help me contain Guan Yunchang."

"Contain General Guan?"

Guan Hai frowned slightly, lowered his voice and said: "General Guan is the most respected person around Yuan Governor, General Guan..."

Before Guan Hai finished speaking, Yuan Shao waved his hand towards Guan Hai.

"Yun Chang is indeed worthy of trust, and I also believe that Yun Chang will not betray me. But my current status is no longer the same as before. I control the three states, and I will most likely be able to unify the Han Dynasty in the future."

"When you are in a high position, you must pay attention to a balance when doing things. Yun Chang cannot be the only one under my command, and I need you to check and balance him."

"General Guan, I think you should understand what I mean. Next, I will reuse you so that you can gradually gain the strength to compete with Yun Chang."

Yuan Shao fell silent and reached out to pat Guan Hai's shoulder.

"If I become the emperor in the future, Yun Chang will be the general, and you will be the prince of the imperial court."
