Yuan Shaocai saw off the leading troops of Zhao Yun and Zhang He. Before they had a good rest, they were shocked by the news brought by Guo Jia in a hurry. It was like one wave after another.
The news came from Yecheng and was written by Liu Ye himself. He said in his heart that for some unknown reason, when Yuan Shao led his army to pacify the two states of Youbin, the Black Mountain Army suddenly raised troops and surrounded Yecheng.
At first, Liu Ye and the others didn't pay attention, thinking that the Black Mountain Army was just a bluff. As long as we held on to the city, they would naturally retreat after their food was exhausted. However, who knows, they suddenly increased their troops, and their strength suddenly increased to 400,000. It looked like a large army would come later.
By the time Liu Ye and others who stayed in Yecheng reacted, it was too late. The enemy army had already surrounded Yecheng. Although under the defense of Xun Yu and others, the Black Mountain bandits did not succeed. However, the entire city of Ye only had only 100,000 troops. Not to mention the battle formations, there were still 30,000 naval troops. They could not play much role in the defensive battle.
Because they were worried about the loss of Ye City, Xun Yu and others made a plan and asked Liu Ye to write a handwritten letter asking for help and pass it to Yuan Shao through the special channel of the Shadow Guard, asking him to make a decision and rescue him quickly, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous!
After Yuan Shao received the letter of distress from Yecheng, he asked his guards to summon the generals who had not yet left for the expedition to come over as soon as possible to discuss matters. And I analyzed and discussed the situation in Yecheng with Guo Jia to see what should be done.
After Tian Feng, Yan Liang, and Wen Chou arrived, Yuan Shao and Guo Jia almost had a countermeasure, and they were waiting for everyone to make a plan before sending troops to rescue Yecheng.
After Tian Feng and others arrived, Yuan Shao passed on the news of Yecheng's crisis to them, and let them be mentally prepared before issuing orders.
After reading it, I learned that Yecheng was surrounded by the Montenegrin Army and was a bit critical. Before Yuan Shao could say anything, Wen Chou became extremely angry.
"Damn, these Black Mountain thieves really deserve to die. We should have wiped them out in one go, so that there wouldn't be the current disaster!"
Yan Liang answered and shouted, "A bunch of rubbish, they are just selling their heads. The last general asked for orders to return to the army and wipe out the Black Mountains in one fell swoop, so that they can't cause trouble and never have future troubles!"
Seeing that Yan Liang and Wen Chou were filled with indignation, they wanted to return to the army to destroy them. This made Yuan Shao very satisfied. They had the same idea as him.
"What the two generals said is absolutely true. Yecheng is the foundation of our army and must be sought after. I thought that since we need to rescue, we should use our troops quickly to catch the opponent off guard and clear the Black Mountains in one battle. In this way, our army in Hebei will not have any The enemy, my lord, can prepare to pacify the affairs in the north as soon as possible." Tian Feng also expressed his support, and the army immediately rushed back to rescue the siege of Yecheng, clear out the Black Mountain Army, and restore peace to Jizhou! The fastest updated Qiqi /
Seeing that his subordinates, ministers and generals had the same opinions as his own, Yuan Shao did not waste time and immediately gave the order.
"Let Yan Liang and Wen Chou be the vanguard, lead an army of 100,000, rush to the aid of Yecheng, and set off immediately. No violation is allowed. Violators will be subject to military law!"
Seeing that Yuan Shao had issued a death order, Yan Liang and Wen Chou did not dare to neglect and stood up to respond.
"Yan Liang (Wen Chou) accepts the order and dare not neglect it. He will definitely live up to his trust and ensure that he completes the task!"
After the army is arranged, the next thing is about defense. It is also time to consider staying in Youzhou.
In this regard, Yuan Shao already had a candidate in mind and made up his mind, so he asked Tian Feng.
"I wonder if you, sir, would be willing to temporarily take over the position of Youzhou Mu for me, and guard one side, and protect the peace of the north for Your Majesty?"
The implication is that Tian Feng hopes to take the position of Youzhou Mu, manage this Youzhou for him, and guard the north. Tian Feng understood and was very excited. He immediately expressed his stance and said happily.
"If your lord doesn't think I'm stupid, Feng is willing to protect this place for your lord. Mu will guard the north and ensure the safety of the northern border. It will serve as a barrier for your lord's great cause!"
Hearing Tian Feng agreed, Yuan Shao breathed a sigh of relief and immediately issued an order: "In this case, from today on, Sir, you will be the Mu of Youzhou. I will let Zhang He lead an army of 50,000 men and wait for Sir to dispatch you. I hope Sir to protect this place well." My rear barrier!".
Seeing Yuan Shao's formal order, Tian Feng was unambiguous and immediately accepted the order: "Please rest assured, my lord, I will definitely guard Youzhou on your lord's behalf, so as to save your lord from worries!"
Seeing Tian Feng's solemn statement, Yuan Shao nodded with satisfaction, turned to Guo Jia and said, "Feng Xiao has two things that you need to do now. One is that I have two letters that need you to deliver through the shadow guard." The other thing for the generals such as Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao who are going out to fight is that after these things are dealt with, you and I can lead the army back to rescue Yecheng!"
"It's my lord, Guo Jia obeys your order." Guo Jia knew what to do without Yuan Shao's instructions. After hearing his lord's reminder, Guo Jia quickly agreed.
After the order was given, everyone took action separately. Yan Liang and Wen Chou set off first with an army of 100,000 people. On the one hand, they were inquiring about the news and reporting to their lord. On the other hand, rescue Yecheng quickly to reassure Xun Yu and others and avoid unnecessary losses.

Guo Jia sent his shadow guards to follow his lord's instructions and sent secret messages, which were orders, to Zhao Yun in Youzhou and Zhang Liao in Bingzhou. At the same time, he also sent out his shadow guards to inquire about information about Yecheng, and told them to report as soon as they had any news without delay.
After Yuan Shao and Tian Feng handed over the defense of Youzhou, he said goodbye to Guo Jia and Tian Feng, and set off toward Ye City with an army of 150,000 to meet the Black Mountain Army and see the legendary What does Zhang Yan look like?
Youzhou, Liaoxi County.
Five days later, Zhao Yun and Zhang He received the Lord's order from the shadow guard. They have regained Liaoxi County, and plan to wait for the lord's army to arrive before conquering Liaodong. However, they received such an order from their lord. Although they were a little helpless, the military order was overwhelming and they had no choice but to obey it.
So Zhao Yun took his three thousand tiger and leopard cavalry and galloped non-stop towards Yecheng, hoping to catch up with his lord as soon as possible and help Yuan Shao. Zhang He also followed Yuan Shao's order and led his army back to Youbeiping to await the orders of the newly appointed Youzhou governor and military counselor Tian Feng.
Bingzhou, Shangdang County.
Ten days later, Zhang Liozheng discussed the defense of Bingzhou with Jushu, Dianwei, Gan Ning, Xu Huang and others. They also received a letter from the lord Yuan Shao. They did not dare to neglect it and circulated it to each other. Although he didn't understand the Lord's order, he still decided to obey Yuan Shao's order.
So, he worshiped Jushou as the shepherd of Bingzhou, and Zhang Liao led an army of fifty thousand to assist Jushou's military advisers and guard Bingzhou. Grant them full authority to handle state affairs and allow them to do so at their own convenience.
After that, with Xu Huang, Gan Ning, and Dian Wei as commanders, they led the remaining 50,000 troops to march day and night, working tirelessly to speed up their pace, and must rush back to Yecheng for rescue as soon as possible.
After receiving the order from their lord Yuan Shao, the troops in these two places did not dare to delay and hurried on day and night. Whether it is the rescue force led by Yuan Shao or the emergency team led by the generals, they are all full of energy and want to fight the Black Mountain Army immediately. A big battle is about to break out!
