Cao Cao led troops to frequently attack the small Yellow Turban Army in Dongjun, and slowly penetrated the power into every corner of Dongjun. At the same time, he took this opportunity to train elite soldiers, and secretly asked Xiahou Dun to go to Qingzhou and Cao Ren to go to Xuzhou to eliminate the Yellow Turban Army. The Yellow Turban Army in these two places did not have unified leadership. They actually surrendered early under Cao Cao's attack, allowing Cao Cao to gain 200,000 soldiers in vain. Finally, Xiahou Dun selected 100,000 strong men to form the Qingzhou Army and garrisoned Chenliulai as a Your own foundation!
Cao Cao secretly pacified the Yellow Turban Army in Qingxu and Dongjun, providing Yuan Shao with a stable rear. Yuan Shao no longer had to worry about fires in the backyard and only needed to target Jizhou. "Do you have any good suggestions? Now the Zhang Jiao brothers are hiding in the city, and Lu Zhi, Liu Bei and others are competing with Zhang Bao. Tell me, what is our next step?" Although the Yuan family is famous , but Yuan Shao was young after all. At this time, his political methods and emperor's mind were not yet mature, so he had to ask these people under his command, because he knew that these people were secretly cultivated by the family, either for himself or for others. To his brother Yuan Shu, so he must perform better so that he can have more advantage in retaining them. After all, his brother has not yet become an official!
"Don't worry, eldest son. The situation in Jizhou is quite complicated now. All forces are intertwined. Lu Zhi and Zhang Bao are fighting fiercely in the north. Changshan Chengfeng and Zhang Jiao are restraining each other. This is a good opportunity for us to show off our skills. As long as We nibble away step by step, attack steadily, and eventually we can occupy the entire Jizhou!" Xu You said with a smile.
"That's right, that's right!" Yuan Shao nodded slowly. This is indeed a good idea. With his own family to build momentum, he will fight a few more battles. By then, he will have accumulated enough military merit and reputation, and he will have heavy troops in his hands. I am worried about the status of my family, but the only difficulty is that apart from the 5,000 soldiers and horses of the court, the remaining 20,000 are basically the family's warriors. Even the room full of counselors and generals, I don't know how many. This person is the one who truly belongs to him. It seems that he has to recruit his own people quickly, otherwise he will really be in vain. "Mr. Xu is indeed reasonable. This method is more than safe. At this time and place, it is most suitable!" Yuan Shao saw several people looking at him and smiled quickly.
"Haha, eldest son, I think the most important thing right now is to fight the Yellow Turban Army, and we can only win but not lose. Only in this way can we really gain a firm foothold in Jizhou! It's all created momentum now , if we don’t show some real skills, I think we will become the next Dong Zhuo!" Tian Feng said
"What both gentlemen said makes sense!" Yuan Shao was a little embarrassed. Both of them were teachers sent by their families. They actually had different ideas. Who should I listen to? After all, they both said the same thing. It makes sense, but the two of them look obviously uncomfortable. I guess no one likes the other. Could it be that I have to do multiple-choice questions every day in the future? Thinking of this, Yuan Shao also felt dizzy.
"Young Master, don't worry too much. Now we can do it step by step. General Gao Lan and I will first look for opportunities to fight Zhang Jiao to see if we can capture a few cities. When the time comes, the First Young Master will divide his troops to occupy and accumulate reputation, and then we will Recruit troops and expand your strength!" Ju Yi said, giving Yuan Shao an idea. If Cheng Feng sees this Yuan Shao, he will definitely find that this kid has difficulty choosing!
"Okay, let's do this. By the way, let's send out the recruitment list first and see if anyone comes to join us!" Yuan Shao said, because since Cheng Feng did this, everyone has learned to use it, let alone , this effect is very good. On the one hand, it shows that you are eager for talents, and on the other hand, you let talents come to you and collect them selectively. It is much better than searching all over the mountains and plains by yourself! At that moment, Gao Lan and Ju Yi quietly left the city with their troops. The army was distributed near Julu, intending to take the opportunity to conduct a few ambushes, which would increase their popularity. As for the decisive battle with Zhang Jiao, the two of them still have no confidence. After all, the recent combat power of the Jizhou Yellow Turban Army has been obvious to all. It is not easy for the Yuan family to accumulate such a fortune. Besides, they are not the best between the two young masters. Stand in line and you won’t take risks easily!
The most uncomfortable thing is for Cheng Feng. What is left after the carnival is boundless loneliness. Cheng Feng has always felt uneasy in his heart. He always felt that Zhang Jiao's role was too small. In the entire Yellow Turban Uprising, Zhang Jiao appeared the most. Liang and Zhang Bao, but as the real leader, Zhang Jiao has disappeared without a trace. He has neither been on the battlefield nor participated in any layout. He has been invisible throughout the whole process. It is unscientific to think about it. Could it be that Zhang Jiao is secretly preparing What a killer! Cheng Feng shook his head for a while, his head was spinning. The most difficult things to deal with were these invisible enemies!
"Brother, what are you thinking about?" Zhao Yun and Guo Jia came over and asked. Recently, Zhao Yun received instructions from Cheng Feng and knew that Guo Jia was the best counselor in the world. He could learn a lot from him. Zhao Yun I have never seen Cheng Feng be so serious. I remember Cheng Feng said at that time, Zilong, you must learn from Mr. Guo. Guo Jia is a genius in the world for his strategy! He is particularly good at using cunning tactics, often turning defeat into victory or deciding the outcome with one blow! Therefore, Zhao Yun recently went to chat with Guo Jia when he had time. Cheng Feng and later generations built the sand table, which made the Changshan group of warriors fascinated. Since they can't go to the battlefield, they can use the sand table to simulate it. Fight, Cheng Feng not only made a simulated sand table in Jizhou, but also combined the geographical knowledge of later generations to roughly make a terrain of various parts of the country. Although it is not so accurate, it is similar in all aspects. Basically, there are famous rivers. , the geographical location is similar. As for the accuracy in the future, we have to wait for on-site survey. Zhao Yun plays out the battle situation with Guo Jia every day when he has nothing to do. Recently, his military capabilities have been advancing by leaps and bounds. I think he will no longer be so clueless when he goes to the battlefield again!
"Hey, I'm wondering what this horn is doing, and why His Majesty doesn't let me send troops!" Cheng Feng was very helpless, we didn't know, and we didn't dare to ask!
"Haha, lord, don't worry too much. I think there are only a few reasons for this. First of all, regarding Zhang Jiao's problem, the first possibility is that he is preparing something. Once he takes action, he must be vigorous and resolute, and there will be big moves. I don't think your majesty will There are also concerns in this regard when asking you to send troops. The second possibility is that Zhang Jiao never showed up. Maybe he has a physical problem and cannot go to the battlefield in person! The third possibility is that the three Zhang Jiao brothers are not like It seems so harmonious on the surface, at least now that Zhang Bao is outside and Zhang Jiao is inside, the two of them have almost no contact. I think the Yellow Turban Army is not monolithic." Guo Jia said with a smile.
"Well, Fengxiao is still awesome. Listening to you is better than studying for ten years!" Cheng Feng immediately flattered him! Although I have thought about it a lot, I haven't really considered the issue of Zhang Jiao's three brothers.
"Haha, my lord, Miao Zan, I think my lord has guessed Zhang Jue's questions a long time ago, but he is just not sure! The most important thing now is to find out his majesty's thoughts!" Guo Jia said with a smile.
"Yes, I don't know now whether His Majesty is keeping me useful, or whether he is guarding against me!"
"Haha, last time His Majesty had a decree for you, my lord, to preserve your strength and finally send troops to annihilate Zhang Jiao. I don't think Your Majesty will be suspicious of you. The main reason is to keep you to deal with Zhang Jiao!" Guo Jia said with a smile. This time he is really a fan of the authorities. Bystanders are clear!
"In that case, let's recruit troops and store food step by step, and continue to wait!" Cheng Feng was finally relieved and said to the two of them, but he was stunned again. The two of them were simulating battles together every day. What happened today? You have time to come to my place. Thinking of this, I asked, "Why do you two have time to come to my place?"
"Haha" Guo Jia burst into laughter suddenly, "Brother Zilong thinks it's not fun enough to always deduce the battle situation, so he wants to discuss with you whether we can secretly leave the city for some activities!" After saying that, he gave Zhao Yun a wink, Cheng Feng said Who is he? He is smarter than any ghost. Besides, Zhao Yun is a famously honest kid. His biggest characteristic is that he can do things without making any noise. At first glance, this idea belongs to the genius Guo Jia!
"Okay, it's best to go out, but it's a pity. Anyone can go out in Changshan, but Zilong can't!" Cheng Feng's face changed and he said very solemnly,
"Ah! Brother, why?" Zhao Yun was really anxious this time. Although he said he didn't want it, it didn't mean he didn't want it. Guo Jia finally thought of a way this time and wanted to go out for a walk. Although it wasn't necessarily There is a war going on, but at least I can go out and get some air. Seeing what my elder brother means, do I have to squat at home again?
"Why else? Think about how famous you are, Zhao Yun. No one is allowed to take a detour in Jizhou. When you lead the troops, aren't you just going for a walk? No one dares to fight you. You should just stay at home and prepare to get married. Let's go!" Cheng Feng rolled his eyes and said, but it's still good to go out and scare the three Zhang Jiao brothers!
"Then, what should we do?" Zhao Yun kept winking at Guo Jia, asking him to think of a way quickly. Didn't you say there was a way to get Cheng Feng to agree? This would be a good time, and he would piss off this big brother again. If you really want to get married, then you have to get rid of it! Guo Jia almost cried when she saw Zhao Yun like this, and then looked at Cheng Feng's expression, so she could only hold back a smile and said, "This beauty is a good match for a hero. It's time for Chang Shan to have a big happy event!"
"No, what are you doing?" Zhao Yun was a little incoherent. Why did he bring up his marriage again? Isn't this a scam? This Guo Fengxiao is not a reliable master. He is a bunch of bad old men. What the hell? None of it is good, it’s very bad!
Looking at Zhao Yun's appearance, the two of them couldn't bear it any longer and burst out laughing, "Okay, Zilong, I won't tease you anymore. This time, you will accompany Fengxiao out for a walk and protect Mr. Guo." Cheng Feng said with a smile
"Really!" Zhao Yun was overjoyed. It seemed that his eldest brother and Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao had no idea who they were talking about. However, he could go out for a walk, which was a breath of fresh air. Otherwise, he would be training here all the time, so he would be bored. Sickness comes.
"Go ahead, you two can pick whatever you like and take the soldiers out for a walk. As long as you don't stay far away from Changshan, after all, there will be a war soon!" Cheng Feng said helplessly. In fact, he didn't want to go out, but it was not good. Qing Mo, then let Guo Jia go. With Guo Jia's IQ, he should be able to know what he was letting him go out for. With Zhao Yun on the side, the safety problem is solved!
Yuan Shao from Yecheng has been living a good life recently. Ju Yi Gaolan led people around and tidied up small groups of Yellow Turban troops from time to time. He slowly accumulated a reputation. In addition, there have been many people recently. Come and take refuge in yourself, I really can't help but grin from the corner of my mouth to the back of my head. Recently, I have recruited Jushou and Chun Yuqiong, and through Jushou, I have successfully contacted the Shen family and the Xin family. As long as I can make some achievements, the two major families in Hebei will support me. At that time, Jizhou will be in his hands. Now that Cao Cao is having a great time fighting in Henan, he can't be idle. He still has to win over a few more aristocratic families quickly. After all, they control all the local resources. As long as they take If you leave them, you can save a lot of trouble. As for these people in your own family, when you make achievements, are you afraid that they will not stay? Just when Yuan Shao was feeling happy, someone suddenly came to report, "The eldest son is in trouble, General Gao Lan is injured!"
"What?" Yuan Shao jumped at Gao Lan. Gao Lan is currently the most powerful general in his army. How could he be injured? He couldn't help but said anxiously, "What's going on? Please explain it to me quickly!"
"General Gao destroyed a group of Yellow Turban grain transport soldiers and was escorting the grain and grass back to the city, but he didn't want to meet two big men on the way. They thought we were the Yellow Turban Army, so they fought. General Gao had only fought three people. After one round, he was knocked off his horse. If General Ju Yi hadn't shouted in time, General Gao would have died!" said the soldier.
"What? Two big men? Where are they?" Yuan Shao was stunned for a moment, and then asked, uncle, don't be from Chengfeng, otherwise this matter will be embarrassing. If they are not from Chengfeng, then these two As a big man, I have to stay no matter what.
"General Gao is being guarded outside. It seems that the two of them are very guilty!"
"Then what are you waiting for? Please come in quickly. No, I want to greet you personally!" Yuan Shao said, and then he ran out quickly, half of his shoe missing on the way. As soon as he went out, he felt relieved, because Yuan Shao saw that Gao Lan had just fallen off his horse and was not injured. Looking at the two people next to me, they are really burly men. One of them looks like a spiritual official, with a majestic appearance, and is holding a Weeping Blood Knife in his hand. The other has a face like a Xie Zhi, eight feet in length, and is holding a knife in his hand. Yun Qiang, Yuan Shao first checked Gao Lan, comforted him, and asked him to go down and rest. Then he turned around and looked at the two of them carefully. He was sure that this was not the general Cheng Feng, and then he smiled and said, "I'm Yuan Shao from Hebei Province. Thank you for your mercy. I wonder what the names of these two warriors are?"
"Your Majesty, Yan Liang, Yan Shiping," the man holding the knife quickly saluted, "Yuan Shao, Mr. Yuan, has become so famous recently. I heard that he is a descendant of the Yuan family, and his future will be limitless."
"This is an ugly and arrogant man." The man with the gun also quickly saluted. After all, his brothers accidentally injured the general, and he still felt a little unjust in his heart.
"Haha, you don't need to be polite to these two heroes. Come and prepare some wine. I want to get together with these two heroes. I'd like to invite all the gentlemen and generals to come. Such heroes should be treated with courtesy by us!" Yuan Shao said, It’s hard to say what the children of the aristocratic family have other abilities, but this face-saving skill is a required course!
Not long after, Yuan Shao's men began to arrive one after another. They knew a little about his eldest son. It seemed that he had encountered some difficult problem and was having trouble making a decision. After all, he had difficulty in making choices. But when the wine was half drunk, Yuan Shao introduced these people to each other, and then started to persuade them to drink. At this time, Chunyu Qiong showed his value. He was an alcoholic himself, and he was addicted to alcohol. This time I encountered Yuan Shao's good wine, and I was really going to meet a good talent. In addition, his cheerful personality made the atmosphere of a group of people happy, and Yan Liang, Wen and Chou no longer felt nervous.
"Two heroes, originally wanted to put down the chaos and bring peace to the world!" When Yuan Shao saw that he was almost done drinking, he quickly threw out his ambition to fool the two of them. As for whether this ambition was his own, then screw it. , anyway, if you say so, you can still keep people, don’t you think it’s irritating!
"General, I admire you for your valor!" Yan Liangwen Chou was still a little uncomfortable. Usually, his two brothers drank like mountain kings, but suddenly so many people were together, and they still felt a little uncomfortable, especially with a group of strangers, who were not familiar with each other. As I said, don’t talk to strangers.
"But this quelling the chaos requires your joint efforts with me. Therefore, I would like to ask two strong men to come out and help me quell the chaos!" Yuan Shao suddenly saluted the two of them.
Yan Liang and Wen Chou were all brave men. They didn't know many words, but they respected these men of letters. In their eyes, they always thought that these children of rich families and literati were superior. They never thought that they would be so equal. Treating themselves, looking at Yuan Shao, their heads twitched and their hearts warmed up. They looked at each other and hurriedly saluted, "We are willing to treat the general as our lord, put down the trouble for the general, and restore peace to the world!" Although he came to join Cheng Feng this time, there is no difference in their eyes. They are all working for the royal family and are soldiers of the court. They may be transferred to Cheng Feng one day, but they don't know this. Entering a noble family is as deep as the sea, and you are already a stranger when you meet again!
Yuan Shao was overjoyed and quickly helped the two of them up. They were given bounties, silver, and armor. Wen Chou was skilled in bow and horse, so Yuan Shao directly gave him a pair of treasured bows. Yan Liang, who looked majestic, gave him a pair of embroidered robes and golden armor. As for ordinary armors, as generals, they are all used by the army. These two people were moved so much. Yuan Shao pulled the two of them and they were inseparable. It was called intimacy. It is said that they slept together that night. It didn't take long for the two of them to sleep. Yan Liangwen Chou was very loyal to Yuan Shaona. After Yuan Shao conquered the two of them, he smiled like a flower every day. With these two new troops, he could deal with the scattered Yellow Turban Army even more. With ease, a good cycle will only get better and better. Yuan Shao took this opportunity to secretly cultivate his own power. Although he did not seize the territory, he built up an army and conquered the talents cultivated by these families. ! When these things reached Cheng Feng's ears, the guy pondered for a long time and murmured, "Yuan Benchu's spring is here!"
