In the past few years since Liu Yu came to Youzhou, his internal affairs are beyond reproach. Regardless of his personal grievances with Gongsun Zan, the lives of the people in Youzhou are indeed much better than in previous years. Youzhou quickly gained fame.

Gongsun Zan is tough and Liu Yu is soft. For foreigners such as Wuhuan and Xianbei, of course they prefer their neighbors who are generous and generous. As a result, Gongsun Zan's position in Youzhou is even more embarrassing.

Zhang Liao knew the situation in Youzhou well. If he was Liu Yu, he would not be willing to let Gongsun Zan continue to grow. This guy's usual style is no different from bandits. If he is in a good mood, he will fight Wuhuan and Xianbei. If he is in a bad mood, he will allow the trilogy to harass the people, so he can be so presumptuous when no one cares about him. If Youzhou Mu is replaced by anyone, he can't continue to be arrogant.

But now Liu Yu intends to have trouble with their lord, and the enemy's enemies can't let go of anyone they can win over. Of course, he will join Gongsun Zan in condemning Liu Youzhou, who is so stingy that even his own family can't live.

Zhang Wenyuan's eloquence can be regarded as a leader in the army, and Gongsun Zan's dissatisfaction with Liu Yu has accumulated to a certain extent. The two of them understand each other, and they have progressed to the point of setting up an altar to worship in just a short while. After a while, an altar has been set up in the courtyard outside.

Tian Yu didn't stay with Gongsun Zan for a long time, but even if it wasn't, it was enough for him to understand the temperament of his immediate superior. He is a very easy-going superior, provided that he can catch his eye at first sight.

As long as the first meeting is okay, don’t do anything too outrageous, and you’ll be fine after getting along. If you don’t like it at first glance, then it’s over. No matter how flattering you are afterward, it’s useless, and you may even flatter yourself. On the ground, it was self-defeating to fetch water from a bamboo basket.

Looking at the current situation, Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan are in the first situation, but it is a pity that they are pretending.

Tian Guorang didn't know how true or false the two people's love at first sight was, but he knew that they should never be sworn brothers.

Coincidentally, Zhang Liao thought so too.

He is young and in his prime, as long as he doesn't bump into Lu Fengxian, he will be the boss wherever he goes in the army, and he is happy to be the boss, so why do he have to hurry up and betroth others to be his younger brother.

Not to mention anything else, just in terms of ability, he felt that he could fight Xianbei and Wuhuan in Youzhou as well, given him the same number of soldiers and horses, his fighting might not necessarily be worse than Gongsun Zan.

The two of them "cherished each other" as if they were friends of life and death. If it weren't for the reception banquet that needs to be prepared at night, they would like to take drinks to the study to drink three hundred altars.

Tian Yumu watched their general send him away with a straight face, rubbed his arms and face to cheer himself up, and waited for their general to return to the main seat, then he calmed down and reminded, "General, Zhang Wenyuan hides a knife in his smile, the general should not take it lightly."

"Don't worry, I'm not so stupid that I can't hear his real intentions." Gongsun Zan poured a glass of water to moisten his throat. After talking with Zhang Liao for so long, he was thirsty without a sip of water.

Zhang Wenyuan doesn't look very old, how come he doesn't have a head when he chatters?

After drinking two glasses of water, his flaming voice was finally relieved. Gongsun Zan moved his arms, his eyes glowed with fighting spirit, "Liu Bo'an is unkind, so don't blame me for my unrighteousness. Jizhou has more soldiers and generals, and the new governor's methods are better than Yuan Benchu's." I don't know how clever he is, and the soldiers of Qingyou State may not be able to shake his position, Liu Yu is funding Zhang Yan to rebel in Jizhou at this time, isn't this just an excuse to give others an excuse to fight?"

He has no objection to Liu Yu wanting to use Zhang Yan's hand to disturb Jizhou. He had competed with Yuan Benchu ​​for Jizhou before to no avail. If he could take the opportunity to take down several counties in Jizhou, even if there were only one or two, he would have the confidence to fight against Liu Yu.

The problem is, their own soldiers and horses in Youzhou don’t have enough food and clothing, and all the food, grass, and military pay are stuck in the hands of his state shepherd, so he turns around and sends food and money to the black mountain bandits. Isn’t that a bit too much? ?

He didn't dare to attack Jizhou openly, and Zhang Yan didn't have the ability to make Jizhou mess up. So much food can last for two months at least for their own people. Such a waste, then Liu Boan was simply coaxed by Wuhuan and Xianbei and couldn't find the north, otherwise he wouldn't be able to do such a stupid thing.

Now Jizhou took the initiative to come to him to show his favor. He is not a person who does not know what is good or bad. If he guesses right, Jizhou's next opponents will be in the Central Plains. will not have any effect on them.

What's more, like now, they will take the initiative to send food and money to keep them from interfering in the affairs of the Central Plains, and wait for the food to fall from the sky without doing anything. Where can I find such a good thing?

Gongsun Zan is not very interested in the Central Plains, he just wants to defend the territory of Youzhou. It would be great if he can conquer other places on the basis of defending Youzhou. I often find it, Jizhou has sent us so much food, we don't want to eat for free."

Tian Yu looked up at him in surprise, got up and went out to find someone.

Yan Gang, Yan Jichang, another leader of Baima Yicong, his general is not around, and Baima Yicong's Yan Jichang's words are the most effective.

The general mobilized elites to target Liu Yu, and this time there might be a real fight.

Zhang Liao was very happy in Youzhou, but in Changshan County, Qu Yi was not very happy in the battle. The elite of the Black Mountain bandits hid in the mountains, and the only ones who came out to invade the county were old and weak soldiers. When they saw that they didn't even fight, they turned their heads Run, if there are no ghosts in the mountains, they will take their heads off and kick them as balls.

The army was fooled several times by a group of small shrimps, Qu Yi was completely pissed off, the black mountain bandits came and went without a trace, it was impossible to guard against them, the Changshan government office was immobilized in the city, he couldn't beat the bandits, it would be no problem to take down the officials who colluded with the bandits.

Don't say that the officials in the government office don't know anything. He has been in Jizhou for so many years, and he knows better than anyone else where there is collusion and where the atmosphere is upright, and there is no way to fool them.

When Lu Bu led his troops over, Qu Yi had just taken the people from the official office into prison by surprise. Regardless of whether the prefect or the county magistrate was an official, he couldn't find out who belonged to Zhang Yan in a short time. As long as they were all locked up, they would be Definitely able to lock up the bastard who tipped off the black bandits.

It is too rare for officers and soldiers to attack the government office. No one in the Changshan government office thought that Qu Yi could do such a trick. By the time they realized it, they had all been thrown into prison.

Just bewildered.

Lu Bu came to Changshan County, and after learning what Qu Yi had done, not only did he not feel that there was a problem with the matter, he even felt that it could not be handled better.

If you can't find anyone who is tricky for a while, then lock everyone up and investigate after the war. If there is no problem, let them out to make an apology, and if there is a problem, push them out and cut down the sacrificial flag. It's simpler. thing.

Qu Wentai deserved to be the one who had fought with him, and he was straightforward in his work.

The two of them had similar tastes, blocked all contact between the official office and the outside world, and waited for the news that Sun Ce and Tai Shici had sneaked into the mountain to infiltrate the enemy camp, and immediately branched out to prepare for a big fight.

Summer is coming soon, and there is not much time left for them.

In Zhongshan County, which is next to Changshan County, Gao Shun and Xun You knew that Lu Bu might not be so disciplined, and they also knew that Qu Yi's temperament was a bit unruly. , it is even more impossible to bear the temper.

However, I know that I know that the two mature and prudent people never thought that their colleagues could be so wild when they became wild. Zhang Yan, the leader of the Black Mountain bandit, has not yet shown his face. They are good, let's put all the people in the Changshan government office in prison first. Yes, if you think about it carefully, it is indeed something they can do.

Xun You wrote Lu Bu Quyi's actions on bamboo slips and sent them to Yecheng to hand over to their master. It is not a good thing for a general to be too wild, too arrogant will cause problems sooner or later. A Lu Fengxian is already a headache, and then he has a temper with him Qu Wentai, who is usually the same, God knows what kind of chaos the two of them can make when they get together.

Fortunately, what the two of them did this time was not all bad things. Changshan County, Zhao County, and Wei County were adjacent to Taihang Mountain, and Ye City was in Wei County. Zhang Yan did not dare to reach there. Except for Wei County, Changshan County and Almost all Zhao County government offices have his staff.

Before the start of the summer seeding, the black bandits must be put down. There is no shortage of food in Jizhou for the time being, but the bandits are not engaged in production. If there is no food, they must come out to grab it. The states in the Central Plains are just around the corner. The thieves and bandits in the Taihang Mountain area were completely eliminated.

Keeping Gaoshun alone is enough to guard Zhongshan. Xun You hurried to Changshan after arranging things. While the people in the Changshan government office were in prison, he first sorted out the internal affairs of the county and county. Which position needs to be replaced and who can be entrusted with important tasks After drawing up the list, they must send it to Yecheng as soon as possible to wait for their master to make a decision.

The state herdsmen of Jizhou are their lords, and the promotion, rewards, punishments, and dismissals of officials and soldiers can only be decided by their lord alone. Otherwise, their lord will become the little emperor of the second capital and become the subordinate Human puppet.

Marching and fighting have the right to cheap, and the prefects govern the counties. There are many things they can decide, except for appointing and dismissing, unless there is grace from above, otherwise they are overstepping.

Xun You resigned himself to following Lu Bu Quyi to clean up the mess, and finally found out the details of those in the prison, and then they should be locked up and released, so that the Changshan government office returned to normal. Before he had time to catch his breath, Gao Shun sent him from Zhongshan. There is an urgent letter.

Zhang Liao went to Youzhou to deliver something to Gongsun Zan, and he didn't know what he said while delivering it. Seeing that Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu were about to fight.

Xun You: ...

If Zhang Liao hadn't interfered, he would personally lead the troops to bring down the chaotic Youzhou now.

In vain, he thought that Zhang Liao looked more stable than Lu Bu, but now it seems to be an illusion. How stable is he?

In late spring and April, Qunfang spit stamens.

Sunlight casts a shadow in the room through the hollowed-out flower window. Yuan Huan looked at the letters sent from Zhongshan and Changshan in a hurry, with a clear smile in his eyes.

That kid Zhang Liao is really talented, asking him to lead troops to fight is a waste of talent, it is better to abandon martial arts and follow literature, and then follow him to fight wits and courage with civil servants, so as not to waste his talent.

Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu had been at odds for a long time, and he thought that the two could linger for another two years, but when Zhang Wenyuan came out, it was a good move.

Both of them are officials appointed by the imperial court, and they are different from wars against thieves and bandits, where you can find legitimate reasons without using your brains. If they want to start a war, they have to find a few suitable reasons on the surface.

It doesn't matter if you don't look for a reason, but when you look for a reason, you find that the other party thinks of you so much in your heart, and the five-point fighting spirit is stunned, but it is aroused by fifty points.

Liu Yu suspected that Gongsun Zan was militaristic, and was angry at him for robbing the people openly. He even snatched away the rewards given to Xianbei and Wuhuan more than once. All that was said came out in a flash.

What Gongsun Zan dislikes the most is that Liu Yu treats the Hu people in Xianbei and Wuhuan better than the soldiers of Youzhou. They Youzhou soldiers desperately defend the city against the invasion of the Hu people. People can give it, how can there be such a thing in the world, anyway, he left the words here, if Liu Yu dared to reward, he dared to snatch it.

What did he say that he plundered the people regardless of the court's face, and he wanted to report that Liu Yu was not good enough to be a shepherd in Youzhou.

The two wrote letters to impeach each other one after another, and even the imperial court confused them. There were gangs in Chang'an City, and Wang Xuren hadn't paid attention to the outside world for a long time. He received the impeachment from Youzhou all of a sudden. Several times, I was confused and didn't know what it was going to do. I called the courtiers to discuss it for several days, but finally nothing happened.

Youzhou is so far away from Chang'an, even if Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan fight, the imperial court can't send troops to suppress it. If there are conflicts, they can solve it by themselves, and even send them all the way to Chang'an to invite outsiders to judge. They are not in Youzhou, so what should they use to judge? right or wrong?

Liu Bo'an used to act prudently and had a good reputation in the north, why is he suddenly acting like a boy? If the court can manage this kind of thing, will the world still be in such a mess today?

Wang Situ went through a cutscene in front of the little emperor, and issued two edicts to Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu respectively. Both sides played [-] big boards each, but it was of no use at all. In short, they just threw the ball back again.

Guo Jia has been very busy these days, and the dark circles under his eyes are very obvious. He couldn't help but yawned after hearing what their lord said, "Liu Bo'an is indecisive, and he will lose this battle."

Xun Yu nodded slowly, "Too kind to the enemy will only harm himself."

"Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu are about to go to war. It is not appropriate for Wen Yuan to stay there. Send a message to let him come back." Yuan Huan shook his head helplessly. The flames of war in Youzhou could not be burned on them for the time being. At present, the most important thing is the Black Bandit. "Bofu and Ziyi have been in Taihang Mountain for half a month. How is the situation now?"

There is no difference between the Black Bandit and the Yellow Turban Bandit in essence, except that Zhang Yan knew better than the leaders of the Yellow Turban ministries that he knew nothing about the empty-handed white wolf.

The Yellow Turban Bandit is a chaotic army composed of refugees. The composition of the Black Mountain Bandit is similar to that of the Yellow Turban Bandit. Except for the elite led by Zhang Yan, most of the others are unarmed refugees. The thieves in the population.

There are not many things in the Taihang Mountains. They used to be able to plunder counties and counties with the help of a large number of people. The situation now is very different from before. If they want to grab food, there is no place to grab it. Sooner or later they all run away.

Zhang Yan also didn't want to plunder Jizhou under Lu Bu's nose. He originally wanted to surrender voluntarily. It was not easy to feed the huge Black Mountain army. Jizhou had enough food and grass, so using the government's food and grass to help him raise troops was simply a bargain.

No matter what, he was also appointed by the imperial court as a General of Pingnan Zhonglang. He was qualified to manage the government affairs in the Taihang Mountains north of the Yellow River, and he could also recommend Xiaolian to send planners to Beijing to report on his duties.

Now that the Yuan family is in charge of Jizhou, he takes the initiative to take a step back and join the state shepherd as a general, so that he won't lose even a county official.

But before he could make up his mind, Youzhou Mu Liu Yu contacted him first.

To seek refuge in Jizhou as a military general, or to win Jizhou and become the top leader, two choices are in front of you, and you don't need to think about it, you know you have to choose the second one.

If Zhang Yan were to attack Jizhou by himself, he would not have much confidence, but with Youzhou providing him with food and grass, he would have no worries about food and grass. With his Montenegro army of millions, he might not be powerless against Lu Bu.

No matter how powerful Lu Fengxian was, he was only one person. The cavalry could not use their hands and feet in the mountains.

The prefects of Changshan County and Zhao County are all his people, and the officers and soldiers of the counties and counties will not hinder him from doing things. The heavy soldiers of Zhongshan County need to guard against Youzhou.

Wealth and wealth are in danger. Before Gongsun Zan was only willing to give up half of Jizhou and let Zhang Yan help him with all his strength. Now Liu Yu offered the whole Jizhou a condition. Not to mention attacking Changshan County, it would be no problem for him to attack Yecheng immediately.

That said, courage is commendable.

Xun Yu smiled, raised his eyes to look at their lord, and said softly, "At the speed of General Fengxian and the others, after capturing the Black Mountain bandits, they should be able to catch up with Xia Zhong."

A few generals began to have fun, and if they were not allowed to play to their heart's content, they might not be able to drag them back. Jizhou has a lot of wasteland that can be used for reclamation, and the mountainous areas are not incapable of doing anything. The millions of Black Mountain troops stabilized. As long as they can catch up with Xia Zhong, they will be equal to Jizhou has more than one million households for no reason.

The black mountain bandits were originally a disaster caused by the people near the Taihang Mountains falling into the grass and turning into bandits. It is the best result to let them continue to live in peace. gentle.

The lord has been in Jizhou for so long, and the reputation of benevolence has spread throughout the nearby counties. It is their lord who appeases the thieves who recruit and make trouble, and loves the people like a son, regardless of past suspicions. No matter how they deal with it, it will not affect the reputation of their lord.

Guo Jia squeezed the space between his eyebrows, and added weakly, "The bandits also have to eat, Zhang Yan can't feed so many people, and the bandits in the Taihang Mountains usually rob wherever they go. As long as there is a stutter, recruiting is just a matter of words." , once so many prime-aged laborers form an army, Youzhou, Bingzhou, and even Wuhuan and Xianbei will no longer be able to pose a threat to Jizhou."

It costs a lot to raise troops, and the elite cavalry is one in a million. Mountainous areas are not suitable for cavalry operations. It is serious to leave infantry there for defense. help.

While several people were talking, there was another knock on the door, and the servant brought over the cloth bag containing the letter, and quickly left after telling where the letter came from.

Guo Jia cheered up, "My lord, what did Wenyuan do again?"

Yuan Huan opened the cloth bag, glanced at the contents above, and passed the letter with an indescribable expression, "It's not Wenyuan, it's Liu Bo'an. In short, it's just, take a look for yourself."

He thought that when Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu were going to continue to love and kill each other, the two unexpectedly tore apart their faces. He thought that when the two were about to fight for [-] rounds, the result was even more unexpected. In the blink of an eye, they had already finished fighting .

Is it that fast?

Yuan Huan couldn't believe it, but Zhang Liao wrote it clearly in his letter, so there was no room for him not to believe it.

Liu Yu has indeed been very popular in Youzhou these years. He easily gathered more than [-] people to fight against Gongsun Zan, but this person doesn't know what to say about him. It's okay to be kind and gentle at ordinary times. No matter how soft you are in war Something's wrong?

Beheading before the war to persuade him not to start the war is to stabilize the morale of the army, and it is normal here, but what happened next really confuses him.

Gongsun Zan's Baima Yicong only has more than [-] soldiers, and he also wants more soldiers, but he can't afford it, so he has to give up. Except for the [-] Baima Yicong, the other soldiers and horses are not cronies. After he turned against Liu Yu, he chose No one can tell which side to stand on, otherwise Liu Yu would not be able to easily pull up an army of more than [-].

Liu Bo'an used Huairou methods too much, thinking that Gongsun Zan would follow him like the barbarians. Before the battle started, he repeatedly told the soldiers not to hurt people too much, and only arrest Gongsun Zan. The main houses of the people should not be damaged. Do not disturb people's lives.

Yuan Huan:? ? ?

The parents and officials above started to fight, so is it possible that the lives of the people will not be affected?

The soldiers and horses gathered in a hurry were not good at fighting, and they were ordered by Liu Yuqian not to destroy the houses, not to hurt the people, and not to burn the city. After facing the elite of Gongsun Zan's men, one can imagine the result.

Anyway, judging from Zhang Liao's letter, he had never seen such an easy battle.

Yuan Huan let out a breath slowly. To be honest, he had never seen this scene before.
