Just when all parties were plotting, Cui Juye of Bohai County discovered some clues.
He was ordered by Yuan Shao to stay in Bohai, but he only had 5,000 troops in his hands.
Moreover, most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled. Once an enemy army attacks, Bohai County will probably not be able to defend it.
"Sir, the Zhang Jaw Army in Hejian has retreated to Qinghe." A deputy general came in and reported.
"It's over, it's over." Cui Juye sat down slumped.
The lieutenant general was a little confused, "Why do you say this, sir?"
"Before Zhang Jiao retreated, he was there to defend us against Gongsun Zan in disguise. Once he leaves, wouldn't we be directly facing Gongsun Zan's army?"
Speaking of this, Cui Juye lamented endlessly.
After thinking about it, he was definitely not Gongsun Zan's opponent. He had all the elite soldiers under his command. He could fight no matter how hard he fought. It would be good if he didn't surrender.
"Sir, what should we do?"
"What should we do? Ask the Lord for help."
The more Cui Juye thought about it, the more he became afraid and decided to write.
. . . . .
"Yuan Xi, you are so cruel. Xianfu, he is your biological brother. How could you do this?"
Mrs. Liu questioned Yuan Xi with tears in her eyes.
"Mother, this child doesn't know about this." Yuan Xi knelt on the ground, his words flickering and hesitant.
"It's true that you know your son better than your mother. Between you brothers, do you really think your mother doesn't know about that little thing? You let me down so much." Mrs. Liu was heartbroken.
"Mother, please forgive me and don't hurt your body." Yuan Xi took a step forward and advised carefully.
"I have no son, my poor Shang'er, I have no son." Mrs. Liu was extremely emotional.
Yuan Xi couldn't bear it, "Mother, please calm down."
"Give me back Shang'er. Give me back Shang'er. I have no son." Mrs. Liu beat Yuan Xi bitterly.
Yuan Xi did not dodge. He understood Mrs. Liu's mood and could only endure it all silently.
199, Jizhou, Yecheng.
Yuan Shang died suddenly in Tianlao.
Previously, Yuan Xizheng and Cao Cao were engaged in a fierce battle at Guandu. The outcome was difficult to determine. Yuan Shang was instigated by Cao Cao and rebelled against Yecheng. Yuan Xi came and used his plan.
Originally, Yuan Xi sent Yuan Shang to pay filial piety to Yuan Shao, and he could survive. However, he wanted to give it a try, and in the end, he secretly colluded with Cao Cao.
In this chess game, Yuan Xi not only lost his younger brother Yuan Shang, but also lost his beautiful trainer.
. . . . .
"Gongming, Zilong, father, I want to go north to persuade the remaining troops in Jizhou to surrender. You come with me on the expedition."
After arriving at the camp, Yuan Xi said straight to the point.
"No." Zhao Yun accepted the order.
"Sir, I think this is inappropriate."
Xu Huang hesitated for a moment and then spoke slowly.
Yuan Xi couldn't help but be stunned, "My lord, please elaborate."
"Huang thinks that the young master should go with Zilong and lead the fine cavalry first, and I will lead the infantry and escort the food and grass later."
Xu Huang pointed to the logistics camp not far away.
"It doesn't matter, Gongming has thought carefully, so General Lao will be there for you." Yuan Xi nodded and praised.
Immediately afterwards, Yuan Xijun began to prepare all related matters for the northward trip in an orderly manner.
Of course, Xu Chu and his Tiger Guards will also be together, as they are his life-saving guys.
During this period, Zhang Hong also dispersed, and many secret guards were stationed in various places in Jizhou, which I will not mention for the time being.
. . . . .
After all, this world has always had two sets of rules, one bright and one dark, working side by side.
