Chapter 114
Let's say that Zhao Xin has been in Bingzhou to cultivate his reputation for a year, Cao Cao is brilliant, and Cao Song's father also died in Xuzhou. There are too many major events in this year.

The news that Cao Cao's father was killed by Zhang Kai came, and Zhao Xin knew that Liu Bei was about to step onto the stage of history, and the news that Cao Cao wanted to slaughter the city to avenge his hatred spread widely.At this time, Xin Zhao didn't just wait blindly. Xin Zhao knew that if there was no opportunity, he had to create it himself.

According to the information collected by Shangguanlou painstakingly, Yuan Shao's third son, Yuan Shang, was ten years old. Yuan Shao wanted to hold a feast for Yuan Shang and build a mansion for Yuan Shang. People went to the west of Liaoning to buy this thing.

The person in charge of this matter is Yuan Shao's nephew, whose surname is Gao, first name Qian, and character Yuancai. His father is Gao Gong, the prefect of Shu County.

Because Gao Gan went to Shangguanlou to be romantic, so the news was passed to Concubine Ji, and Concubine Ji hurriedly reported the matter to her superiors. Shangguan Qiu heard about it and had a plan, so she came to discuss with Zhao Xin.

The two discussed it and finalized their plan that night.

The high-ranking officer spent a lot of money to buy a lot of good wood from western Liaoning, transported it to Jizhou, and traveled to Liaoshan outside Wuzhong City. At night, it was the beginning of the year, and the weather was cold. The high-ranking officer was afraid of the cold, so he ordered to rest on the spot.

In the evening of that day, suddenly there was a group of masked men and horses rushing towards them, with a cold light, wantonly beheading and killing the soldiers under the command of the high-ranking officials. Keep your eyes open and watch.

It's okay if you don't look at it, but when you look at it, Gao Gan almost spits out rice!

why!

As the cavalrymen were running, their legs swayed according to the frequency, and the hair of the horses under their legs was faintly white. It is a white horse, most of which are painted with black mud!
Gao Gan gritted his teeth, the group of people hacked and killed for a while, robbed the money and silver in each account, and left quickly.

Gao Gan lay down in the grass, waited for a long time when there was no movement, then got up, found a war horse and hurried away.

Gao Gan rushed to Jizhou, met Yuan Shao and reported the matter to him. Yuan Shao was furious and wanted to order a crusade against Gongsun Zan. His counselors Ju Shou, Feng Ji and others all spoke out to stop him, and said: This must be a plan of alienation!
Yuan Shao snorted coldly and said, "In the whole north, Cao Cao is busy avenging his father, and Xin Zhao is a well-known loyal man in the world. Could it be that he would do such a despicable thing?"This must be Gongsun Zan's deliberate provocation!If you don't fight this time, people in the world will not think that I am Yuan Shao, they are afraid that his Gongsun Bogui will fail! '

That night, Yuan Shao raised an army of [-], ordered Yan Liang and Wen Chou to be the vanguards, led the troops northward, built bridges when encountering waters, and opened roads when encountering mountains.Yan Liang left Ju Yi, Han Meng, and Gao Lan in the central army and retreated slowly.

Gongsun Zan knew that something happened to Gao Gan in Wuzhong, but he was also speechless. Hearing that Yuan Shao raised [-] troops and claimed that [-] were coming to attack, he was also furious, and said: "So Yuan Shao is deceiving people too much! Does Jizhou have no tree? It is clear Is it for trouble, could it be that I, Gongsun Zan, are afraid of Yuan Benchu?"

In this way, with a wave of Gongsun Zan's hand, he will raise all his troops and fight Yuan Shao!

When Gongsun Zan's subordinate Tian Kai learned that Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan had sent troops because of this incident, he knew something was fishy, ​​but he couldn't figure out what the problem was!He wanted to dissuade Yuan Shao, but when he thought about it carefully, he had no reason to persuade the lord. In addition, both the enemy and us have the heart to fight. Today's incident is just a trigger or a reason.

After thinking it over, Tian Kai smiled and said, "I still don't understand the heart of a lord."

The matter of buying good wood was indeed just a fuse. Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao had wanted to fight for a long time. Geographically, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan bordered each other, and there were many confrontations.However, the area where Xin Zhao was located was only bordered by Gongsun Zan, and was separated from Yuan Shao by the Yellow River and mountains. If the two wanted to attack, the losses would be too great, and the gains would outweigh the losses.

Xin Zhao was naturally happy when Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan started a war.

Let's say that Yuan Shao gathered all his troops and went straight to Qingzhou.Tian Kai, who served under Gongsun Zan, won Gongsun Zan's trust and was appointed governor of Qingzhou, assuming military and political power.Tian Kai was shocked when he learned that Yuan Shao had sent all his troops to Qingzhou. While overseeing the defense, he wrote a letter to Gongsun Zan and asked for Gongsun Zan's support.

Five days later, Yuan Shao came with his own army. Yan Liang and Wen Chou were the vanguards. They went all the way to defeat the generals. In less than ten days, they even defeated six counties in Qingzhou. They were invincible and mighty.

Tian Kai received Gongsun Zan's reply that it would take three days to reach Qingzhou, so Tian Kai ordered the strong men to sever their wrists, shrink their troops, and mobilize all soldiers to the Licheng area to deal with it.

Because all the troops from all over the country were withdrawn, Yan Liang and Wen Chou went down to several counties without any difficulty. Yan Liang said: "Tian Kai's treacherous plan wants to divide our troops and delay the time. We should abandon many small cities and go after them. Licheng, if you succeed in Licheng, you can defend against Jishui and block Gongsun Zan's path."

Wen Chou said he was kind, and in the evening of that day, the two led the troops and rushed to Licheng.Surrounding Licheng was a fierce attack, and Tian Kai himself climbed to the top of the city and commanded the soldiers to defend.The two sides started a two-day battle above and below the city, resulting in many casualties.

At noon on the third day, Yuan Shao led his troops to the city first, increased his strength, and surrounded the city on three sides to attack it.There were many rumors in the camp, claiming that Gongsun Zan was blocked in western Liaoning and could not rush to help!
The army became more and more frightened, Yuan Shao personally organized the tenth attack, Yan Liang shot an arrow to the top of the wall, and hit Wei Zhongliu's chest in front of the tent.Zhong Liu was the lieutenant general of Tian Kai, with high martial arts skills, and was shot to death on the spot by Yan Liang.

The moment Zhong Liu died, Yan Liang took the lead in the attack, and the defenders on the top of the city lacked effective command, and the tacit understanding between each other dropped several levels.

About half an hour later, Yan Liang climbed to the top of the city first with a ghost-head sword in his hand, and with the sword in his hand, he beheaded several city defenders, guarding the crenel behind him, and more and more Yuan Jun climbed to the top of the city.

There was a breach in the defense at the top of the city, and the rest of the crenels hurriedly sent people over to support it. However, Yan Liang's force, how can a few more soldiers be able to stop it? In just one breath, seven or eight enemies were knocked down, including two lieutenants.

The archers on the top of the wall were unable to get closer to the room, and the pressure on the soldiers who continued to climb below the wall suddenly decreased, and they screamed to keep up.In the distance, Yuan Shao squinted his eyes and watched Yan Liang, who was like a murderous god descending into the world, flaunt his courage, and grinned, "This is also my Fan Kuai."

The guards rushed to tell Tian Kai that the east gate had been broken. Tian Kai was furious and ordered the soldiers to defend the city. It took less than three hours for reinforcements to arrive.

When the soldiers under his command heard this, some believed it and some did not. Tian Kai had nothing to do with the situation before him, so he could only lead by example, praying in his heart that these soldiers would believe him.

After an incense stick, another soldier ran to Tian Kai covered in blood and said, "General Qi, the reinforcements are blocked at Le (sounds the same as Luo) Mausoleum, and it will take two days to arrive."

Hearing these words, Tian Kai let out a sigh of relief, looked around, knowing that Licheng is no longer safe today, he waved his hand and said: "Order to withdraw the troops."

"No!" Tian Kai hurriedly led the remaining troops out of Licheng, Wen Chou saw that Yan Liang went to the city first, and was very dissatisfied.

After chasing all the way to Qiu County, 300 meters east of Licheng, many bows and arrows were shot from the shrubs on both sides.Wen Chou was shocked, he raised his hand to stop the chase, but Tian Kai still escaped.

Tian Kai took the remaining soldiers and horses and retreated all the way to Leling, Youzhou. When he met Gongsun Zan, he reported the past and knelt down to plead guilty.Regarding Tian Kai, Gongsun Zan was very magnanimous, he helped Tian Kai up personally, and comforted him: "This is not a public crime, it is due to the disparity in military strength."

Gongsun Zan saw that all of the territory of Qingzhou he controlled had fallen into Yuan Shao's hands, knowing that it would be disadvantageous for him to cross the river to fight again, so he ordered to retreat first.Along the way, Zhazhai came one after another, step by step, in order to slow down Yuan Shao's progress.

On the other hand, Gongsun Zan personally wrote a book and asked Xin Zhao of Bingzhou to send troops to support him.

Xin Zhao wished that Gongsun Zan would die immediately, he didn't want to go to battle at all, and purposely left the envoys sent by Gongsun Zan for a few days, until five days later, when No. 12 envoys arrived, Xin Zhao decided to meet these people.

These twelve envoys all brought a lot of money and gifts, as well as food and supplies, all of which were listed on the list. After reading the letter with no expression on his face, Zhao Xin frowned, and said in embarrassment: "Yuan Shao has many soldiers." Jiang Guang, why did General Gongsun offend Yuan Shaoye? A little bit of wood is nothing to worry about?"

The dozen or so envoys cupped their hands and were about to speak, Xin Zhao raised his hand again to stop the crowd, and then said leisurely: "I want to save him, but I can't do it unless I move fast, everyone knows that our army is deep in the state If you want to go east, you need to borrow the land in western Liaoning."

Hearing this, more than a dozen envoys were expressionless, but the last envoy who arrived said categorically: "Of course! My lord has already ordered that as long as you can invite Governor Zhao to send troops to rescue, Not only the governor can borrow the west of Liaoning, but the lord also ceded the land of Jizhou and Qingzhou to Zhao Changshi as compensation."

Saying that, the messenger also took out a silk book from his bosom and handed it to Zhou Cang, Zhou Cang took it and presented it to Zhao Xin with both hands.

I took it apart and looked at it, but it was a map. The messenger said: "Please read it, Lord Inspector. The places marked with red pens are all places that were given to Lord Inspector after defeating Yuan Shao."

Xin Zhao had no expression on his face, but he actually smiled inwardly. The area of ​​these places is about ten times the size of Fan Yang, but at present, more than half of them have fallen into the hands of Yuan Shao.What Xin Zhao cares most is that the land north of Wuzhong belongs to Xin Zhao, while Gongsun Zan's place in Youzhou is only from Xuwu Mountain to the east, and its area is only one-third of Youzhou!

Xin Zhao was really happy, put down the map, looked around the dozen or so envoys, and said: "Wait, are you afraid that I will turn back and take Liaoxi?"

The dozen or so envoys were speechless, Xin Zhao laughed heartily, he looked down on the dozen or so people from the bottom of his heart, not even a single person to support the scene!

"You all go, I have my own plan."

The envoys bowed their hands and withdrew first, and Zhou Cang sent them off.

Xin Zhao smiled and asked Li Kong beside him, "What do you think, Master?"

"My lord has already made a plan, so why ask more questions?" Liao Kong performed a Buddhist ceremony and said flatly.

Xin Zhao laughed and waved his hand, a letter has been completed, it happened that Zhou Cang came back.Xin Zhao handed it to Zhou Cang and said, "Send it quickly."

"promise!"

For dozens of days, there was no movement of Xin Zhao!
Yuan Shao called his counselor, Ju Shou, and asked, "You taught me to guard against Zhao Xin, why haven't I seen him for a long time?"

Ju Shou said: "Xin Zhao has a lot of strategies, so don't underestimate them, or right now, he has a plan long ago, just waiting for a good opportunity." On the other hand, Xu You said: "Xin Zhao, a yellow-haired boy, how can he climb into the hall of elegance? Is there a good plan for reconciliation? Just send one general to command three thousand old and weak soldiers, pretending to be defensive, and they will not dare to send troops."

Feng Ji also said: "My lord, the fourth and third prince, has a great reputation. Zhao Xin is just a down-and-out son. He fought against the incompetent Yellow Turbans before he became the governor of Bingzhou. He has only a few tens of thousands of soldiers under his command. Most of them live by working as a substitute. Bingzhou is so barren that I'm afraid we won't be able to pay or earn money."

Yuan Shao was very pleased with what he heard, so he stopped worrying and continued to fight Gongsun Zan.

Gongsun Zan was anxious. He hadn't seen Xin Zhao send troops to support him for a long time. He was furious and sent a letter asking for help under the same conditions. The recipients were Liu Bei, the commander of Pingyuan, and Zhang Yan, the leader of the Black Mountain Army in Taihang Mountain. They invited them to come for help.

……

Let's say that Tai Shici's whole house was armed, and the moment the city gate opened, he rushed out first, and the bandits outside the city swarmed to fight.Tai Shici clasped the horse's belly with his legs, fixed his figure, danced and danced with both hands, and killed several people with the spear in his hand. The encirclement came out, and he flew out quickly, disappearing under the moonlight.

Guan Hai heard that someone was going out of the city, and it must be someone from the city asking for help, so he led hundreds of people to chase after him. Tai Shici was heavy, and although he was riding Kong Rong's BMW under his lap, he ran slowly. Just after passing a hill, Guan Hai led the soldiers The horse followed, the division was uncertain, and the bows and arrows were shot randomly. I saw Tai Shici's arms dancing, and all the bows and arrows were pushed aside.

Tai Shici gave a loud shout, and charged from the top of the mountain. The bandits panicked and shot their bows and arrows more urgently. Tai Shici single-handedly drew the arrows, but none came close.

Tai Shici rushed out of the siege, not daring to stay longer, and went to the plain to see Liu Bei at night.After the two parties saluted, Tai Shici informed Liu Bei that Beihai was besieged and he came here to ask for help, so he submitted a letter.

Liu Bei took it from his hand and read it from the beginning. After reading the book together, he raised his head and asked, "Who is not satisfied?"

Taishi Ci said: "I am from Huang County, Donglai. My surname is Taishi, and my name is Ci. I am just a humble man from the countryside. I am not related to Kong Rong for no reason. It is only because of congenial spirits that we share our worries and share our difficulties. Today's management In the riots of Haiti, soldiers surrounded Beihai, disorderly people, Beihai was lonely and helpless, and was in danger. Hearing that you are benevolent and righteous, you can save people from danger, so I specially ordered someone to take the lead and ask for help."

The smile on Liu Bei's face faded away, turned serious, and said: "How does Kong Beihai know that there is me, Liu Xuande, in the world?" After finishing speaking, he asked Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to order three thousand elite soldiers, and rushed to Beihai in the starry night.
