Rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 303 Jizhou Gateway

Xu You said with a smile: "Since I'm a businessman now, I can't make a trip in vain to sell favors, can I? Reserve [-]% of it for Brother Yu, isn't that too much?"

"Uh, this...not too much, not too much!" Han Fu scolded Xu You for being greedy in his heart, but with a smile on his face, he asked, "Even so, why aren't there many left?"

Xu You said: "The reason why I dare to protect the general is that I have an old relationship with the Yuan family. At first, I was a close friend of mine, and I can use money and food to smooth things over. Second, I am kind to Liu He. I have donated tens of millions of property to help him tide over difficulties. Otherwise, how can we take over Fan Yang's huge industry?"

Han Fu nodded and said, "Mr. is right, so what's the difference between the two?"

Xu You said again: "However, the situation in Jizhou is complicated, and Gongsun Zan is eyeing it. If Yuan Shao takes control of Jizhou, Liu He and Gongsun Zan will definitely send troops to divide it up. A fierce battle will be inevitable. During the period of war and chaos, it will be even more difficult to protect the general. , doubling the energy consumption, and naturally doubling the cost, [-]% will be removed!"

The corners of Han Fu's eyes twitched violently, and he took a deep breath and asked, "What if Liu He enters Jizhou?"

"That's easy!" Xu Youfu smiled and said, "Liu He's army is very good and general. Once he enters Jizhou, Yuan Shao can only have Wei Jun at most, and he will not dare to send troops because he is restrained by the Black Mountain Army. Once there are Liu He in Bohai and Hejian Garrisoning troops would threaten Qingzhou, and Gongsun Zan did not dare to act rashly in order to guard against Liu He, if things go well, I only need [-]%!"

"Oh?" Han Fu's eyes lit up, and he nodded slightly unconsciously.

At this moment, I actually feel that although Xu You is greedy for money, he does things in an orderly and fair manner, which is convincing.

Xu You said again: "Actually, I am keeping the extra 100 million yuan on behalf of the general. Imagine that if the general surrenders, all his property will be confiscated and he will have nothing. Wouldn't it be convenient to take Anjia from me at that time?"

"Hmm... that makes sense!" Han Fu's heart skipped a beat when he was told, and he already subconsciously felt that it would be better for Liu He to enter Jizhou.

Xu You clasped his fists and said: "In fact, money is something outside of the body. I use the general's money to do things for the general. As long as I keep my property and life, I can earn more in the future."

Han Fu smiled and said, "Thank you sir for your help."

Seeing that he hadn't made up his mind, Xu You continued, "General, you don't need to worry about the money. You just need to pay the full amount first. If in the future... if you really surrender without a fight and your family is safe and sound, I won't take any of the 200 million. Return it to you."

"Really?" Han Fu sat up straight suddenly, stared at Xu You and asked, "Is this true?"

"Of course!" Xu You Nianxu nodded and said, "Since I am a businessman, I must put faith first, and we must establish written evidence and rely on letters."

Han Fu was overjoyed, clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "This is the best!"

Xu You smiled and said, "However, there is also a small storage fee."

Han Fu immediately withdrew his smile and looked at Xu You warily: "How much more?"

Xu You waved his hand and said, "Not much, not much, just 100 for [-] million."

"It's okay, it's okay!" Han Fu heaved a sigh of relief, ten thousand yuan was no longer worth mentioning in his eyes.

Xu You smiled triumphantly, and said: "If Duke Ming has already made a decision, why not prepare the Four Treasures of the Study and the Letter of Agreement first? I should also prepare early. If the vehicles are impassable when the soldiers approach the city, and the money and food cannot be transported, the storage fee will be reduced." will be greatly increased.”

"Okay, okay, I'm going to prepare!" Han Fu heard that the money would be deducted again, so he stood up quickly, went to the door to call the attendant to grind, and prepared paper and pen.

Zhongshan Kingdom, under the governance of Cheng Pu and Zhuge Gui, finally regained its vitality after two years. After a spring rain fell, there were already working people in the fields.

If Zhongshan was handed back to Han Fu, it would not be so easy to take Jizhou. Zhongshan is mountainous, and it can be regarded as the first line of defense in the north of Jizhou, but now this line of defense is controlled by Liu He, and the door to Jizhou can be opened at any time.

Liu He led the troops from Fanyang, all the way from Zhongshan to Wuji, Cheng Pu prepared his troops early to meet them, everyone discussed the matter of dispatching troops, and according to the established plan, they first took down Quyang and went straight to Yingtao.

Xiaquyang is located in the north of Julu, adjacent to Zhongshan. Back then, Zhang Bao led the Yellow Turban Army to use this as a lair, and formed a corner with Julu. After taking this place, there is a flat river to the south, and Julu has no danger to defend.

Cheng Puyan said: "The princes are marching towards Julu, so the Black Mountain Army must be on guard. Although Zhang Yan has not sent troops to plunder in the past year, he is entrenched in the Black Mountains and is watching with eager eyes. He has an army of more than [-], so he must be on guard."

Liu He nodded and said: "Although Zhang Yan is not as cruel and tyrannical as Yu Du and Bai Rao, and even intends to submit to the imperial court, he has always been hesitant. Now he is defending according to danger. The terrain of Montenegro is complicated. What should we do?"

Cheng Yu frowned and said: "The terrain of Black Mountain is complex, relying on the Taihang, it is deep and dangerous for thousands of miles, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and if you attack, you will lose troops and generals. It will be of no benefit to win, so it is really difficult to deal with."

Guo Jia smiled and said: "Zhang Yan and his ilk rose up because of the mismanagement of the imperial court, and they were considered heroes for a while. Since the destruction of the Yellow Turban, many thieves have attached themselves to him, and they have become powerful. In the past, the officers and soldiers were weak, and neither Wang Fen nor Han Fu could defeat them. , His prestige is not enough to convince the public, I predict that this person will be waiting to see the situation in order to find a place to settle down, and when the princes and princes pacify Jizhou, Zhang Yan will watch the wind and surrender."

Liu He remembered that Zhang Yan fought Yuan Shao for several years in the early stage, and then surrendered Cao Cao in the later stage. Sure enough, as Guo Jia expected, he was just waiting and watching the situation, but there are more than 20 soldiers, even half of them are not to be underestimated.

When he was thinking about it, Liu Ye said: "What Feng Xiao said is true. The Black Mountain thieves gathered in Taihang because Bingzhou and Jizhou were not peaceful, so they had an opportunity to take advantage of them. Therefore, the thieves dared to take advantage of the danger. However, they are ultimately mobs. Your lord Hou can first offer rewards and raise money, offering rewards of money, grain and land to persuade them to surrender, divide the thieves, wait for Hebei to be pacified, use the mighty virtue of the princes and marquises, and then use the mighty virtue of the princes and marquises, and then approach them with large soldiers to deter the strong generals, and the thieves will collapse without fighting!"

Liu He nodded and said: "Zhang Yan is a hero and brave man, so he can't be eliminated suddenly. According to Brother Ziyang's plan, first recruit and offer rewards, and then use the army as a threat. I think when the situation is critical, you can ask your family teacher to persuade him, and it may be effective."

Guo Jia said with a smile: "Tong Daxia, Wang Yue, and Wang Lie are all well-known in Bingzhou. You can ask the three of them to help. Since Zhang Yan wants to change his ways, he can recruit them and use them."

Liu He naturally understood that with Zhang Yan's ability, he could serve as a lieutenant general, or even a vanguard, so he immediately ordered Qu Yi to lead troops to Heishan to guard against Zhang Yan. He had trained troops here and was very familiar with the terrain.

In addition, Zhuge Gui issued a list to recruit the bandit army, and those who are willing to surrender will not be blamed, and Zhang Baiqi and other subordinates will be treated the same as before.

After the rear area was stabilized, the soldiers and horses were prepared, and Tai Shici led the way to Quyang.

Although Han Fu's strength is not strong, this is the first battle with the princes after the alliance, and Liu He is also very cautious in his deployment, trying to be foolproof.

To fight a lion against a rabbit, you still need all your strength. The first battle against Jizhou must be fought beautifully to shock people.
