Zhang Xiu, the Overlord of the Three Kingdoms

When the eyes of the people of the world were focused on the state, when many people were worried about the situation of the Northern Army. A 50,000-strong army of the Northern Expedition has quietly entered the Jizhou boundary.

"General Zhang, in front of you is Boling County in Jizhou, and after Boling County, one hundred and fifty miles south is Jizhou. A military general riding a war horse reported to a general next to him who was wearing an iron chain armor and an iron beast helmet.

This general is none other than Zhang Liao of the Tun army in Zhuo County, Dai County.

But how could Zhang Liao lead his army to appear here?

It turned out that Xu Shu had previously offered Chen Chu a plan to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle. Zhang Liao led 50,000 soldiers stationed in Zhuojun to conquer the Northern Legion through Youzhou and smashed Yuan Shao's stronghold - Jizhou. As long as Jizhou is occupied, Yuan Shao's character will definitely return to Jizhou, then the crisis in Jiguan can be resolved.

In fact, this strategy is very dangerous, and it can be said to be a dangerous move.

It is very likely that Zhang Liaobu, who attacked Jizhou, will be encircled and finally annihilated.

The Northern Expeditionary Army must take advantage of Yuan Shao's recapture of Jizhou to concentrate its forces to eliminate or defeat Cao Cao's army, and only in this way can the crisis be truly relieved. If the Northern Expeditionary Army fails to seize the opportunity, then the Northern Expeditionary Army will be really dangerous, and Zhang Liaobu's efforts and sacrifices will become worthless.

Yuan Shao would never have thought that the Northern Army would take such a step, because there were still Zhang Chun's forces in Zhongshan and Liu Yu's forces in Youzhou between Zhuojun and Jizhou.

However, what Yuan Shao and even Cao Cao did not expect was that Chen Chu had secretly sent someone to persuade Liu Yu of Youzhou, and after promising all kinds of benefits, Liu Yu agreed that Chen Chu's army would pass through the area under his control and go to Jizhou. It was precisely because of the purpose of convincing Liu Yu that Zhang Liao's army did not pass through Youzhou and enter Jizhou until today, but this timing was just right for the entire battle situation.

On the fifth day after Chen Chu arrived at Huguan, Zhang Liao's army captured Boling County north of Jizhou with lightning speed. The 10,000 Yuan Shao troops in Boling County were completely annihilated in an unguarded situation, and most of them surrendered.

After capturing Boling County, Zhang Liao left only 3,000 men to guard Boling led by a deputy general, and he himself led the main army to continue to march south at the speed of a rapid march.

Jizhou was originally Han Fu's base, and now it is Yuan Shao's rear base. The grain and grass of Yuan Shao's army outside Jiguan were all transported from Jizhou.

Although Jizhou was very important to Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao did not leave many troops here, and the total strength was only 50,000, of which only 30,000 were stationed in Jizhou City. It's not that Yuan Shao was negligent, but according to the environment around Jizhou, there are really no forces worth guarding against Yuan Shao.

The gates of Jizhou were wide open, and the soldiers guarding the gates were scattered on both sides of the gates, and occasionally people entered and exited through the gates.

A young soldier did not seem to be resting well, and he yawned incessantly with his spear. Seeing this, another older soldier next to him teased: "What? Could it be that some bitch drained his energy yesterday?"

The young soldier smiled very proudly, glanced at the old soldier, and said as if showing off: "That girl is really fucking strong! It's so fucking hard that I can! I made Lao Tzu toss for a night!" The old

soldier rolled his eyes, "You just blow it! With that little pay, you still want to play with the girl!"

"If you don't believe it, forget it!I'm going to enjoy it tonight!Tsk! When I think of her **, I can't wait!" The young soldier swallowed, his face full of greed.

The older soldier glanced at the young soldier suspiciously and asked, "You kid won't really hand over the peach blossom luck, right?"

Seeing the suspicious and envious eyes of the older soldier, the young soldier couldn't help but feel very proud.

While the two soldiers were talking nonsense, a caravan of considerable size came along the official road.

"There's work to do! give me a little spirit!" said the petty officer in charge of guarding the city gates.

When the surrounding soldiers heard this, they hurriedly surrounded the junior officers and blocked the official road into the city.

The size of this caravan is really not small. There were a hundred mule-horse carts in total, and each mule-horse cart was piled with goods. There were about hundreds of people in the caravan, in addition to a hundred or so chariot handles, and hundreds of guards with waist and crotch weapons.

The caravan soon came to the city gate, and the leader made a gesture, and the whole caravan immediately stopped.

Then a middle-aged man dressed as a scribe stepped out of the caravan and walked towards the petty officer at the city gate. "This general, we are from the Li family's caravan, and we want to go to the south to sell goods, and it is not early, so we want to rest in the city for a night!" said the middle-aged scribe with a smile.

The petty officer glanced at the middle-aged scribe haughtily, then looked at the entire caravan, and said, "It's okay to enter the city, but every car must be checked!" It's normal to go into the city to inspect it, but he wants to check every car, which is obviously deliberately making things difficult for the other party.

The middle-aged scribe hurriedly said: "The brothers are really working too hard at the gate of this city! As he spoke, the middle-aged scribe took out a piece of gold from his bosom and secretly handed it to the junior officer.

The little officer's eyes lit up suddenly, and then he said to the middle-aged scribe in a slightly softened tone: "This boss is really good at being a man

!" The middle-aged scribe hurriedly smiled and said: "Yes! Yes!" After a pause, the middle-aged scribe pleaded: "General, the goods we transport are all easily damaged! Do you think we can be accommodating?"

The little officer smiled and patted the middle-aged scribe

on the shoulder and said, "No problem! After all, it is not easy for everyone!"

The middle-aged scribe was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly thanked: "Then thank you general!" The

little officer laughed, then turned around and ordered his sergeant: "Get out of the way!" When the sergeants heard this, they immediately dispersed to both sides.

"Looks like the boss has reaped the benefits!" said one of the soldiers softly to his colleagues, his tone sour. The colleague nodded, looking at his boss with a little envy.

The petty officer accepted the benefits of the middle-aged scribe, so he let it go without any inspection of the convoy. The long convoy entered the city of Jizhou in an orderly manner.

It was getting dark, the gates were closed, and the whole city was quiet. A few patrolling soldiers wandered absentmindedly over the city gate.

At this moment, a remote corner of the eastern part of the city was crowded. In the darkness of the night, I saw that I didn't know how many people were busy, changing the civilian clothes and putting on black armor, and many soldiers in black armor got out of the mule carts.

Finally, nearly a thousand soldiers in armor and armed with blades gathered.

So many soldiers gathered together, but they didn't make much noise, which shows that they are all extremely elite soldiers.

"Are you ready?" asked a tall, imposing man in front of everyone in a deliberately low voice.

"Ready!" the sergeants replied in low voices.

Immediately, the big man turned his head to a middle-aged scribe beside him and said, "Mr. Zhang, you first find a place to hide." Later, after our army captures Jizhou, General Zhang will come to thank Mr. Zhang personally!

" The middle-aged scribe hugged his fist at the big man and said: "I know what to do, the general doesn't have to worry about it

!" The big man nodded, and then ordered the soldiers who were already ready to go: "Go!"

As the night got deeper and deeper, the soldiers in charge of standing guard on the city gate tower pecked their heads one by one. The defense of Jizhou City appeared to be very lax.

In the darkness of the night, four sergeants in black armor silently touched the four doors. The soldiers of Yuan Shaojun, who were drowsy, were unconsciously dealt with one by one.

The black-clad sergeants quickly took control of the four gates, and then they opened the gates.

The tens of thousands of troops who had been waiting outside the city immediately entered the city, unexpectedly annihilated the defenseless 30,000 defenders of Jizhou, and captured Yuan Shao's important adviser - Guo Tu.

After Guo Tu was captured, he didn't react to what happened for a long time. When Guo Tu finally understood that it was the Northern Expeditionary Army that had attacked Jizhou City, he was so surprised that he didn't close his mouth for a long time! He never dreamed that the Northern Expeditionary Army would make a surprise attack on Jizhou.

The success of the Northern Army's surprise attack on Jizhou was like a bombshell exploding in Hebei, which shocked the world.

"General, the people here don't seem to welcome us!" Zhang Liao's lieutenant Zeng Guang said with a worry-free heart.

At this time, it was already the morning of the next day, and the adjutant general Zeng Guang and a group of personal soldiers were accompanying Zhang Liao to ride his horse slowly on the main street of Jizhou City. There were no pedestrians on the streets, and the doors of the houses on both sides of the street were closed, and there seemed to be a pair of vigilant eyes among them.

Zhang Liao glanced at both sides of the street and said lightly: "When we first arrived, it is normal for the people to have doubts. Don't worry about that, we'll just get the job done and we'll get out of here. The

lieutenant nodded.

After the Northern Expeditionary Army led by Zhang Liao occupied Jizhou, it immediately arranged defenses in full swing. They don't have to do anything now, all they have to do is wait, waiting for the arrival of Yuan Shao's army.

During the time when Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were attacking the state, the scholars of Luoyang rejoiced, and in their minds, Chen Chu, the most evil of all, was bound to be crushed into powder by the million-strong army of the two princes.

But as the saying goes, 'life is unsatisfactory in ten **'. Just when the scholars in Luoyang were as excited as if they had taken medicine, two pieces of news came one after another that shocked them. First, the Northern Expeditionary Army united with the Western Liang Army in Guanzhong to exterminate Dong Zhuo and rescue the emperor; then the Northern Expeditionary Army suddenly passed through Youzhou and made a surprise attack on Jizhou, which simply shocked the Luoyang Shi clan and even the world's heroes

! After learning the news of the surprise attack on Jizhou by the Northern Expeditionary Army, Sun Jian said with emotion: "I never imagined that Chen Chu would be able to perform such a dangerous move! The battle situation in the Central Plains is only afraid that the outcome will be unpredictable!"

At this time, a handsome military general beside Sun Jian who was wearing a chain armor and a golden crown with his hair tied was very unconvinced: "Father, are you too much to promote that Chen Chu! Chen Chu is just lucky, and he has a strong army under his command to fight the current situation, but now that the two princes of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are attacking him with a joint army, his advantage is no longer there, and defeat is only a matter of time!"
