Great Wei Nengchen

Now the only people discussing in the hall are Shen Pei and Guo Tu, the two sons of Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang. He was imprisoned in a private house. Although he lost his freedom, he still ate and drank well!

Jiang Qi was the only general who could still fight. During the Battle of Guandu, this man fought bravely and performed well. After the entire army was defeated, Jiang Qi gathered the defeated soldiers and fought to the death without surrendering. He even fled back to Yecheng. Can't help but impress!

Especially after the defeat, everyone was downcast, but Jiang Qi gathered the defeated soldiers, rectified the troops, and made every effort to strengthen the defense of Yecheng. '

This title has two meanings. One is that Jiang Qi is diligent and capable, and he can be regarded as a good general; the other is that the general of Hebei may die or surrender.

"Victory and defeat are commonplace for military strategists. In the Battle of Guandu, our army suffered heavy setbacks. Cao Jun also suffered heavy casualties. Within five or six years, he will never recover. We just need to cultivate our strength and fight again in the future. The victory or defeat is yet to be known. !"

The counselor Guo Tu stepped forward to comfort Yuan Shao and boost morale. In any case, they still have four states, millions of people, and a chance to make a comeback. The key is time!

"Cao Mengde is extremely vicious, and he is the best at adding insult to injury. Don't say five or six years, two or three years will be good. We must recruit troops and restore our military strength as soon as possible, otherwise, the four prefectures of Hebei will be in danger!"

Yuan Shao is not a planner, he has a clear view of the situation, the problem is, it is not easy to restore the military strength, there is a shortage of soldiers, armaments, money and food!

The Battle of Guandu was a disastrous defeat. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers of Yuan's army and millions of civilian husbands in Hebei were all buried.

The same is true for armaments, money and food. The Yuan Group’s savings for many years were completely lost in one battle. In order to support the frontline war, taxes were collected in advance for three years. Moreover, there are more and more hungry people rebelling, and the Yellow Turbans in Montenegro have also revived, attacking cities and looting land, disrupting places...

"The officials of the prefectures, counties and counties in Hebei were ordered to recruit me with all their strength. All males over the age of 14 and under the age of 60, who can walk and move and have no physical disabilities, shall be recruited into the army. They must recruit 40 troops within half a year. , that official couldn’t finish it, so he was dismissed from office and sent to the army. As for the money and food, did the Zhen family and the Liang family respond?”

Yuan Shao also went all out, and came to the exhaustion to fish. Anyway, if you fight for the light, you will get the light, and if you don't fight for the light, the land and people in Hebei, rather than leaving it to Cao Cao, it is better to give it a try, and maybe turn the world around?

However, soldiers can be forced to recruit, money and food are really gone, and the people have already eaten people, so they can only reach out to the powerful and powerful. If you are willing to fully support, Yuan will be able to tide over the difficulties!

Therefore, Yuan Shao sent envoys several times to lobby the two big chaebols, hoping to marry the two, so as to share honor and disgrace, and share wealth and honor, but there was no response at all...

"General, Liang Wanwan wrote back saying that it is a great honor to be married to the Yuan family, but, the Liang family has no daughter to be married, please allow a few years for him to raise his daughter!

The Zhen family agreed to the marriage, and planned to marry a daughter of the first wife into the General's Mansion, so as to make a good relationship for a hundred years, but the object of their marriage is the second son Yuan Xi, this is a bit..."

It was the judge who was in charge of the marriage. The counselor had a bitter look on his face, obviously he was in a lot of trouble!

The Liang family has a big business and a large population. There are only twenty or thirty biological daughters of Liang Wanwan. How can there be no one who is waiting to be married, but it is just a deliberate evasion. This shows that the Liang family is not optimistic about the Yuan family and is planning to find another backer up!

The Zhen family is also at the opposite ends of the spectrum. They agreed to marry, but they chose Yuan Xi. No one in Hebei's military and civilians knew that this second son was seriously injured, and without the 'root' of a man, how could he marry a wife and have children? You are humiliating Yuan Shi!

"The chaebols Zhen and Liang have nothing more than a few filthy money. An dare to humiliate the Yuan family. When the old man turns around, he must make you look good. I'm so mad..."

If it was a few years ago, Yuan Shao would have sent a large army to uproot Zhen and Liang and kill them all if he was insulted like this. It's a pity, now and then, he doesn't have the courage anymore!

Zhen and Liang are rich and powerful, with many children, spread all over the military, government, and business industries, and have strong comprehensive strength. Once they touch them, they may raise their flags to rebel and go directly to Cao Cao. Yuan Jun has just suffered a disastrous defeat, and his vitality has been greatly damaged , I really can't bear the turmoil!

Since the Liang family disagrees with the marriage, they will try to lobby and beg in every possible way. If it is not possible, the Yuan family will marry a daughter in the past. As long as they contribute money and efforts to continue to support the Yuan family group, At least don't take refuge in Cao Ying!

The Zhen family wants to marry the second son, so let's agree to it, just release Yuan Xi and let him make some contributions to the family. As for how the husband and wife will live after the wedding and who will enter the bridal chamber instead, it doesn't matter!

If Hebei is to be safe and sound, apart from recruiting soldiers and horses, expanding its strength, and attracting allies, the four major groups of Jiangdong, Jingzhou, Hanzhong, and Bashu, as long as they are willing to send troops to the north, can contain Cao Jun and gain buffer time for the Hebei Group !

For this matter, Hebei sent more than a dozen groups of envoys, carrying a large amount of gifts, to lobby the princes of the four towns, but with little success. Focusing on consolidating the foundation, there is no strength to send troops to the north!

Liu Zhang stayed in the middle of Shu, forming a world of his own, and ignored the outside world; Zhang Lu devoted himself to cultivating Taoism, and kept close contacts with the imperial court, and refused to send troops to help; Horse, the strength should not be underestimated!

Thinking of this, Yuan Shao hated Liu Bei again. The big-eared thief used his two wives as hostages, cheated countless gold, silver and jewels, and went to lobby Liu Biao to send troops, but he never looked back, died in the hands of Cao Jun, or ran away with the money on the way?

"Report! -A general came from outside the gate of the mansion, and signed up for Changshan-Zhao Yun, claiming to be ordered by Liu Bei to welcome the two wives to Jingzhou, and ask the general to make a decision!"

While everyone was discussing, an attendant ran into the lobby and announced a shocking news, the White Horse Silver Spear - Zhao Zilong is here!

Chapter 954 Loyalty to the Liver and Righteousness - Zhao Zilong!

In front of the gate of the Great General's Mansion, Zhao Yun was wearing a silver helmet and a silver frost armor, his momentum was as steady as a mountain, and he looked around. He had no personal guards, and no attendants to follow him. He was alone, a white dragon horse, and a bright A silver gun is enough to rule the world and look down on the princes!

A few months ago, in the name of wooing allies, Liu Bei defrauded more than a dozen carts of gold, silver and jewels. He wanted to leave Hebei and stand on his own mountain. In the end, at the Taohua Ferry, he met Xuanjia cavalry. In a fight, the attendants were killed and injured. , Seeing that the situation was not good, Liu Bei fled into the deep mountains overnight, and only then escaped with his life!

Out of fear of Xiao Yi, Liu Bei took Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun and hid in the mountains for half a month. They fed their hunger with birds and beasts, and quenched their thirst with mountain springs. After the calm, this sneaked out!

The attendants were all dead, all the treasures were gone, and Yuan Ying couldn't go back. In desperation, the four of Liu Bei crossed the Yellow River. After a month, they finally arrived in Jingzhou!

Liu Bei's literary talent is vulgar, his martial arts is sloppy, he can't do anything, but he is good at attracting favors. With the clan relationship of the Han Dynasty and his ability to cry bitterly, he just moved Jingzhou Mu-Liu Biao, and was treated as a VIP. The two are brothers. , vowed to assist the Han Dynasty together, and then Liu Bei stationed in Xinye City, and got thousands of troops, as well as a lot of weapons, money and food!

Of course, Liu Biao, who sits in the nine counties of Jingxiang, is not without schemes. He treats Liu Bei so kindly, donating cities, soldiers, horses, money and food, because he wants to raise a vicious dog, guard the northern territory, and fight against the Caoying Group. The two use each other That's all!

When Liu Bei arrived in Xinye City, he recruited troops, bought horses, stockpiled grass and stockpiled food, and contacted the old department. Sun Qian, Jian Yong, Mi Fang, Mi Zhu... all came to vote. After several months of hard work, he finally gained a firm foothold. My wife is still a hostage in Yuan Shao's hands, so I sent Zhao Yun to the north, first to welcome the two wives, or to reunite the husband and wife; second, to investigate the situation in the north and see how Cao and Yuan confront each other!

"The general has an order! - Please see General Zilong!"

"The general has an order! - Please see General Zilong!"

........................

People don't die, donkeys don't fall, Hebei Group is declining, Yuan Shao still wants to save face, set up a guard of honor, set up a mountain of swords and guns, and then pass it on layer by layer, and open the door of the general's mansion...

"The Battle of Guandu was a disastrous defeat. Hebei lost troops and lost generals. Instead of trying hard to rule, they talked about pomp and pomp. The day of Yuan's demise may not be far away!"

Zhao Yun traveled all the way, and he knew everything about the people's livelihood and military affairs in Hebei. Yuan was like a sick lion, old and frail, with slow claws and teeth, and it was difficult to command beasts, so he entered without a trace of fear!

The soldiers of the General's Mansion originally wanted to take away Zhao Yun's armor and sword, but no one dared to step forward when they met their eyes. Instead, everyone avoided, bowed and saluted, and let Zhao Yun go straight into the lobby...

"Changshan Zhao Zilong - by the order of Ambassador Liu, come to meet the general and send a letter!"

Walking into the lobby, Zhao Yun stood upright, clasped his fists in salute, like a tiger patrolling the mountain, not paying attention to Hebei Wenwu, then took out a letter and asked the attendant to pass it on!

"Hiss! Hiss!... What a heroic man, what a brave general, such a great general, if he can be used by me, why not worry about it?"

Seeing Zhao Yun stepping up the mountain of swords and passing through the bushes of spears, all the civil and military officials in Hebei admired him sincerely. Even the great general Yuan Shao also felt admiration for him!

Hebei Wenwu is no stranger to this majestic general. Zhao Yun was originally from Changshan, but later defected to Gongsun Zan and became a member of the White Horse Yi Cong. If you enter the land of no one, even the first general-Ju Yi was shot down by him. He is really brave and invincible!

There is also news that Zhao Yun and Da Sima Xiao Yi once piled up soil for a furnace and planted grass for incense, and became brothers of life and death. Brother, Zhao Yun's martial arts and character can be imagined!

After eliminating Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shao sent envoys one after another to take Zhao Yun for his own use, but they were all rejected. Unexpectedly, the "big-eared thief" was so superior that he won General Shenwei, which made people angry, annoyed, jealous and hated !

Liu Bei is a down-and-out clan member who has neither strength nor territory. Apart from shedding tears, what skills does he have? Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun are all enemies, so they are willing to follow him. It is really puzzling?

There is a saying: Hearing the drums and thinking of good generals, the Hebei Group is in turmoil. There are strong enemies outside and bandits everywhere. It is necessary for a general to lead the army in order to turn the crisis into safety. If Zhao Yun is willing to surrender, it will be a timely help. He and Xiao Yi are Brothers of life and death, with this special relationship, maybe they can turn hostility into friendship and win a few more years!

Thinking of this, Yuan Shao visually inspected the match and asked him to cooperate so as to win Zhao Yun over; on the other hand, he opened the letter to see what Liu Bei said, but he almost died of anger...

The first half of the letter is full of flattering words, such as outstanding military exploits, great meritorious deeds, respected by the world... If it was before, Yuan Shao would have accepted it with a smile, but Guandu was defeated and his prestige was wiped out. The sentence suddenly felt harsh. Are you mocking yourself?

The letter also mentions two things: one is to send Zhao Yun to meet Mi and Gan's two wives and go to Jingzhou-Xinye City, so that the husband and wife can reunite and share the happiness of family!

The second is that Liu Bei has already established a firm foothold in the Jingzhou area. He is lobbying the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs to send troops to attack Xuchang City, but it is very difficult and needs some financial support. I hope General Yuan will generously donate...

"What a shameless big-eared thief. He betrayed his promise, betrayed his master and sought glory. He promised to move the rescuers, but he never looked back. You still have the face to ask for money. You have carried forward the thick and black tradition of the Liu family!"

After reading the letter, Yuan Shao remained calm on the surface, but he scolded Liu Bei badly in his heart. He has seen shameless people, but he has never seen such shameless people. Even Liu Bang, the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty, is not such a rascal, right?
