Rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 311 Jizhou Crisis

At dawn, Guan Yu had already captured Nanpi. Instead of panicking, the people in the city cheered and greeted each other. Officials went to the government office to plead guilty.

Guan Yu received comforts one by one, ordered everyone to take up their duties temporarily, checked the treasury, and issued a decree to let the people go to the fields to farm as soon as possible, and if it was half a month later, they would not be able to catch up with the farming.

At this time, Zhang Liao and Xu Huang also successively took Gaocheng and Dongguang, and the rest of the counties waited and surrendered, and Bohai County was completely pacified in less than a month.

People everywhere complained about being bullied by Yuan Tan, and envied Liu Yu for his kindness and hard work. Now that they finally got their wish, they were exempted from taxes for another year.

Guan Yu ordered Zhou Cang to lead troops to surround Yuan Tan's mansion. He neither entered the mansion to arrest anyone nor arrested Yuan Tan. Instead, he sent people to greet him every day.

After Chen Gong persuaded Gao Rou to surrender, he ordered Gao Rou to temporarily serve as Zhang Wu county magistrate, and Zhang Fei came to Nanpi instead. According to Liu He's original order, the generals set up a defense line in the Panhe area at the junction of Qingzhou and Jizhou.

When the war in Bohai County reached Yingtao, Xu Rong had successfully captured the entire Hejian, and the troops stationed in Xindu of Anping State meant that the entire northern part of Jizhou was fully occupied by Liu He.

Han Fu has had trouble sleeping and eating for the past few days. First, Sun Jin, Prime Minister of Changshan, surrendered without a fight, and then Hejian fell completely. He didn't want even Bohai County, where Yuan Shao was located, to be devastated and vulnerable.

The fighting power shown by Liu He's troops shocked the whole of Hebei. With such a strong force, who can beat the front?

In Houyamen, Guo Tu, Gao Qianzheng and Xin Ping persuaded Han Fu that a catastrophe had arrived in Jizhou and the four northern counties had fallen. If Yuan Shao was not asked to take charge of the overall situation, he would be completely helpless.

Han Fu's face was gloomy, and he sat slumped in the corner without saying a word. Liu He's retaliation this time was overwhelming, and the marching speed far exceeded his imagination.

Xin commented: "The general is a disciple of the Yuan family, so he should repay his kindness. Now he was helping the general in Weijun to hunt down the thieves. If Jizhou is lost, let alone the people in Hebei, how can they be worthy of Yuan Situ's careful cultivation?"

Gao Gan clasped his fists and said: "Before leaving, General Yuan has already explained that he will never harm any of Ming Gong's members. When the big event succeeds in the future, he will definitely treat Han's family favorably."

Guo Tu sighed: "The Heishan army can't cope with the crisis in Jizhou, let alone Liu Boxing? In the future, whoever calms down Hebei, who is better than Yuan Benchu?" If the poison is broken, Duke Ming will have no place to stand!"

Han Fu was shocked, looking at these former friends, his eyes were completely blank, and a deep sense of powerlessness rose in his heart.

Gao Gan is Yuan Shao's nephew, he has met him many times in Yuan's house, he is brave and always has great ambitions, Guo Tu and Xin Ping are the partners he invited to accomplish great things, but now they all persuade him to join Mingzhu.

The bold words of the past are still in my ears, but they all have their own thoughts and other plans.

After bowing his head and pondering for a while, Han Fu said slowly: "It's a very important matter, let me think twice, and I will definitely give you an answer in three days."

Xin Ping and the others looked at each other, knowing that Han Fu was hesitant and cowardly, but if the pressure was too tight, it would be counterproductive, so they had to stop in moderation and retreat first.

Guo Tu walked to the door, turned around suddenly and said: "Although Xu Ziyuan came from the same school as our teacher, but this person surrendered to Liu He long after Wang Fen's defeat, his words must have been ordered by Liu He, go to Ming Gong to check it out! "

"I have a reason!" Han Fu waved his hands, and after everyone left, he came to the window with his hands behind his back, sighing deeply.

Outside, the vegetation was lush and the flowers were blooming like brocades, but he felt very depressed in his heart, and he couldn't see any vitality at all.

After thinking for a long time, Han Fu still could not make up his mind, and ordered someone to invite Zhang Dao, the prefect of Julu, to discuss with him the important affairs of Jizhou.

Zhang Dao, whose name is Jingming, is from Xiuwu County, Henan Province. He is an upright person. He is neither from Jizhou's local wealthy family nor from Yuan Shao's party.

Director Zhang knew that Han Fu was worried. After seeing the ceremony, he asked straight to the point: "Your Majesty, I heard that Yuan Shao sent lobbyists to come. I don't know how the envoy will make a decision?"

Han Fu shook his head and sighed: "We are still in a dilemma, and this matter also concerns the people of Julu, what does Jingming think?"

Zhang Daoyan said: "Yesterday, I heard that Yuan Tan was captured by Guan Yu in Bohai County and placed under house arrest in Nanpi. Yuan Benchu ​​didn't want to save others, but he sent someone to urge Jizhou to leave. This shows that he has a cold personality. He doesn't care about his son's safety. What will happen in the future? Do you think I am waiting for good luck?"

"This..." Han Fu suddenly woke up and asked anxiously: "Is it possible that Liu He can only be surrendered?"

Director Zhang shook his head and sighed: "The next official is the prefect of Julu. If you surrender Liu He, you will naturally have no worries. However, the general has always been at odds with Liu He, and...the matter between the Black Mountain Army and the Xiongnu is afraid that Liu He will not let it go lightly." .”

"This..." Han Fu was dumbfounded, and said with a stampede, "Could it be that there is no room for me in Jizhou?"

Zhang Daoyan said: "Now there is an expert in this city, why should the envoy abandon it and let the pearl cast secretly?"

Han Fu hurriedly asked: "Who is it?"

Zhang Daoyan said: "Xun Yu and Xun Wenruo, who can understand the overall situation, are elegant and elegant, have the style of Wang Zuo, understand wisdom, and have the opportunity to learn from forerunners, so that you can treat him with great courtesy. Why don't you ask for advice?"

Han Fu's face was awkward, and he smiled wryly: "If Xun Wen is an upright person, I was deceived by Yuan Benchu, and now that Heishan and the Huns are exposed, how can I have the face to meet him?"

Dao Zhang persuaded: "Why bother about life and death? You treat Xun Yu kindly. His family is all in the city. Everyone is prosperous and everyone is hurt. I think this person must have made a decision, so you don't have to hesitate any longer." gone."

"That's the only way!" Han Fu narrowed his eyes slightly, took a deep breath, nodded and said, "I'm going to see Wen Ruo now."

Han Fu simply tidied up, hurried out of the government office, and came to a courtyard in the east of the city. This was Xun Yu's temporary residence. Because he didn't want to be an official, he just wanted to study behind closed doors at home. this clean place.

The concierge informed, and soon took Han Fu to the study, only to see Xun Yu wearing a light yellow brocade robe, looking like a tree like a tree, bowing to receive him under the steps.

Han Fu rushed to meet him, and entered the study with Xun Yu. After waving his servants away, he bowed impatiently and said, "Jizhou is in danger, and I am in danger of falling down. Please help me, sir!"

Xun Yu looked calm, and said lightly: "The general has already made a decision, why ask me again?"

"Me?" Han Fu was startled, looked at Xun Yu blankly, and asked after a moment: "I just don't know how to make a choice, so I came here to ask your advice, Yuan Benchu, Liu Boxing, who can be safe next time?"

Xun Yu caressed his beard and smiled: "If the general wants to ask Yuan Shao to help in the battle, the high-ranking cadres will readily agree to it long ago. If you are so hesitant, you actually mean Liu Boxing!"

"Death—" Xun Yu said this, Han Fu's heart suddenly moved, and his mind suddenly became brighter, only to realize that he was subconsciously inclined to surrender to Liu He.

Immediately afterwards, he frowned again and said, "It's just that I...had many conflicts with Liu He before, and I'm afraid he won't be able to tolerate this time."

Xun Yu shook his head slightly, looked at Han Fu and said slowly, "In the whole world, Liu Boxing is the only one who can save the general!"
