After Feng Ji and Xin Ping left, Yuan Shao said angrily:
“When the princes of the Eighteenth Route were attacking Dong Zhuo, Han Yu had done bad things to me since before the Sishui Pass. If it wasn’t for Han Yu, now Pan Feng is dead, and Jizhou would be my own.
This Han Yu child is really hateful, I plan to send troops to Jizhou and win Jizhou in one fell swoop. ”
The chilling murderous intent in the letter made Yuan Shao more and more angry, and at the same time, it also strengthened Yuan Shao’s belief in capturing Jizhou.
“Yuan Gong!”
Xu You offered advice in a deep voice: “Han Yu is far away in Changshan, and we are separated from us by the river, and there are two Zhongshan counties. Besides, Changshan County also has Zhang Yan of the Heishan army as his enemy, so you can put it aside for the time being.
And although Han Fu was sitting in Ye City, most of the generals around him had been sent out to pacify the chaos, and now Ye City was bound to be empty and poorly guarded.
You thought it was a top priority, so we could take this opportunity to directly send troops to attack Yecheng. As long as Yecheng was broken and Han Fu was captured, then Han Yu would not be able to capture it without his hands.
“Who can go?”
Yuan Shao’s eyes lit up and nodded, agreeing with Xu You’s words.
Xu You pondered and said: “You can let the eldest son lead ten thousand troops, and then send General Yan Liang to go out with the army. General Yan Liang won the three armies, and it must be enough to take Yecheng.”
Since the last time Yuan Shao asked Yan Liangwen Chou to recruit troops for training, there are now 30,000 troops in Bohai County.
In addition to the three prefects who rebelled against Han Fu, Yuan Shao had almost 40,000 to 50,000 troops in their hands.
And Han Fu was at most no more than 30,000 to 40,000 horses23, but Han Fu was attacked on both sides, and Yuan Shao’s confidence increased.
Yuan Shao nodded and said, “According to Ziyuan’s words, let Yuan Tan and Yan Liang lead 10,000 horses each, and they must take Yecheng as soon as possible.”
“Yuan Gong!”
At this time Guo Tu stood up and said: “Ziyuan’s strategy to attack Yecheng is very good, as long as Yecheng is captured, Jizhou will exist in name only.
But now Han Fu has broken with us, and with Gongsun Zan as a person, we have to guard against it. Otherwise, if we take Jizhou, but Gongsun Zan Huangque is behind, it will not be worth the loss.
“Um!”
Yuan Shao’s face sank.
He and Gongsun Zan conspired to take Jizhou together before, but Yuan Shao knew that neither of them had any good intentions for each other.
Once he and Han Fu are defeated, Gongsun Zan will inevitably lead the White Horse to attack.
With the bravery of the white horse, Yuan Shao at that time might not be able to resist.
Listening to Guo Tuyi, Gongsun Zan really had to be on guard.
It’s just that they can’t obviously offend Gongsun Zan. Yuan Shao also hopes that Gongsun Zan can continue to attack Jizhou and hold back Han Fu’s forces!
“Yuan Gong, General Chunyu Qiong and General Lu Weihuang are currently stationed in Hejian. As long as Yuan Gong secretly sends a letter, I think the presence of the two of them, together with the troops of the prefect of Hejian, is enough to guard against Gongsun Zan. 35
Guo Tu looked at Yuan Shao and smiled.
“it is good!”
Yuan Shao clapped his hands and said, “According to the rules, let Chunyu Qiong keep his troops and stay in Hejian to guard Gongsun Zan at all times.”99
“promise!
Xu You stood up again and said: “Yuan Gong, now Jizhou nine counties, in addition to Changshan County where Han Yu is located, Wei County where Han Fu is located,
In addition to our four counties, there are still Julu County, Zhao County, and Zhongshan County that have not been captured.
I thought that when General Yan Liang and the others attacked Yecheng, they could divide their troops to take Zhongshan County and Julu County, and Han Fu was too tired to deal with them.
“What Ziyuan said is very agreeable to me!”
Yuan Shao nodded and said, “I can let Wen Chou lead his troops to take Zhongshan County, and once Zhongshan County is my gain, I can trap Han Yu in Changshan.
Jiang Qi and Han Meng led a group of troops to take Julu County. After taking Julu, they could turn around and deal with Zhao Fu and Cheng Huan’s troops.
“Yuan Gong is wise!”
The crowd joined in unison.
After everything was arranged, Yuan Shao frowned and asked, “Before we only had one county in Bohai, and we had to rely on Han Fu for food and grass.
But now we have completely broken with Han Fu, and Han Fu will definitely not supply us with food and grass.
Now, although the three counties of Hejian, Anping and Qinghe have been obtained, the army needs a lot of food and grass for this expedition.
I’m afraid we don’t have enough food and grass to supply the army right now, what’s your best plan?”
“This is indeed a problem!
Everyone couldn’t help but discuss.
After discussing for a long time, Xu You still stood up and said: “This matter is easy to hear, don’t worry about Duke Yuan!
“What’s the best way for Ziyuan?”
Yuan Shao was overjoyed when he heard that, as long as the food and forage problem was solved, it would be easy to capture Jizhou.
Xu You pretended to be deep, paced forward and said, “Does the lord know that Hebei is extremely rich, and the Wuji Zhen family in Zhongshan?
Yuan Shao nodded and said: “I have heard a little, I heard that the Zhen family was originally a family of 2,000 stone, but I didn’t expect that now they have abandoned the office to do business. !
Yuan Shao didn’t care about the Zhen family.
In fact, this is not to blame Yuan Shao.
In today’s era, the emphasis is on scholars, peasants, industry and commerce, and the classes are distinct.
The status of merchants is not comparable to that of scholars, even the peasants who cultivate the land and the low-level workers are not comparable to the merchants.
What’s more, Yuan Shao is the first family in the world.
Naturally, they looked down on the Zhen family, a business family that had money but no power.
Today, the two largest local tyrants in the world, one is Mi Zhu, the richest man in the East China Sea, and the other is the Zhen family, the richest man in Hebei.
In history, why Mi Zhu invested in Liu Bei was somewhat related to his status as a businessman.
Ordinary people looked down on Mi Zhu, and Mi Zhu wanted to improve his status and gain official power.
Therefore, Liu Bei is the best choice.
Xu You naturally heard that Yuan Shao didn’t like the Zhen family. He knew that in Yuan Shao’s eyes, he only looked down on people from aristocratic families.
However, Xu You still persuaded: “Yuan Gong does not know, Zhen Yi, the previous head of the Zhen family, died of illness four years ago, and Zhen Yi’s eldest son Zhen Yu also passed away last year.
Now the head of the Zhen family is Zhen Yu’s younger brother Zhen Yan. Zhen Yan is young, and his talent is not enough to control the money and food of the Zhen family.
Right now, the Zhen family is planning to climb into a relationship like Duke Yuan and get help from outsiders, so that their family can be stable and prosperous.
The Zhen family was rich in money and grain. In addition to the shops all over Jizhou, it was said that the Zhen family would have no less than one million stone in the stockpile, and the money and silk were in the hundreds of millions.
If Duke Yuan could get the support of the Zhen family, he wouldn’t have to worry about money and food, and he could fight Han Fu with confidence. 35
Hearing that the Zhen family was so rich, Yuan Shao was also a little moved, and he asked:
“Ziyuan, how can I get the Zhen family to help me?”
“This matter has changed, and Yuan Gong has no idea. Zhen Yisheng has three sons and five daughters. The five daughters are Zhen Jiang, Zhen Tuo, Zhen Dao, Zhen Rong, and Zhen Mi. After Zhen Yi and Zhen Yu died, the five daughters were his father and his wife. The elder brother is in mourning and has not married yet.
The eldest daughter Zhen Jiang is eighteen years old and has long exceeded the age of marriage, but because Zhen Yan lacks talent and needs to rely on Zhen Jiang to preside over major events, she has never been married.
As for Zhen Tuo, Zhen Dao, and Zhen Rong, although they are not as talented as Zhen Jiang, they are all beautiful.
In addition, the young daughter Zhen Mi, fourteen years old, has not yet reached the age of Ji, but she was born in a graceful and graceful manner.
If Duke Yuan can marry the Zhen family, it is expected that the Zhen family will definitely support Duke Yuan! 35
Xu You answered Yuan Shao’s doubts and said.
Yuan Shao nodded and said, “If this is the case, it is indeed a beautiful thing.
It’s just that my three sons, the eldest son Yuan Tan has already married, and the third son Yuan Shang is my favorite. Besides, he is too young to marry the daughter of the Zhen family.
Only the second son Yuan Xi has not yet married, and it is most suitable for him to marry the Zhen family. 39
From Yuan Shao’s point of view, although the Zhen family has plenty of money and food, it is only a business family. Yuan Shao looks down on the Zhen family from the bottom of his heart.
Only an aristocratic family who also came from a noble family was worthy of marrying Yuan Shao.
Among the three sons, Yuan Shao intended to make Yuan Shang the heir, so Yuan Shao did not want Yuan Shang to marry the daughter of a merchant, so as not to be criticized.
As for the second son Yuan Xi, he came from a concubine, and this is also the pain in Yuan Shao’s heart.
In addition, Yuan Xi himself was not talented enough, and naturally it was impossible to inherit Yuan Shao’s throne.
Therefore, in Yuan Shao’s view, Yuan Xi and Zhen’s marriage are the best choice.
Xu You heard the words and said: “No matter who the son is, as long as he can marry the Zhen family, Yuan Gong can get the full support of the Zhen family. 35
Yuan Shao nodded and said, “Kong Zhang, I will leave this matter to you. You bring someone to prepare enough dowry gifts, go to the Zhen family to propose marriage, and ask for Zhen Mi to marry Yuan Xi. This matter is related to the lifeline of the army, so Kong Zhang must go here. facilitate this.
“Please don’t worry, Duke Yuan!”
Chen Lin, who didn’t say a word, got the order and quickly got up to take the order.
Chen Lin was originally the chief clerk of the general He Jin. He Jin summoned generals from all over the world to Luoyang in order to kill the eunuch.
After Dong Zhuo ravaged Luoyang, Chen Lin took refuge in Jizhou and joined Yuan Shao’s shogunate.
Chen Lin’s talent lies in ci and fu essays, and she is one of the seven sons of Jian’an.
In particular, his crusade against Cao Cao’s writings is famous all over the world.
However, Chen Lin is not good at strategy, so she has been unable to intervene.
In the end, it was decided that Yuan Shao dispatched three large armies to attack Jizhou, and one large army to guard against Gongsun Zan.
In addition, Chen Lin was dispatched to Zhongshan County to marry the Wuji Zhen family in an attempt to get the support of the Zhen family’s money and food.
It can be said that as soon as Han Yu’s message was sent, Yuan Shao responded quickly.
At this time, Yuan Shao was not as swollen as he was after he dominated the four provinces in Hebei. On the contrary, his ability was quite outstanding.
Yuan Shao’s quick response made Jizhou precarious.
Seeing Jizhou up and down is a bloody storm.
