The temperature and situation are gradually rising.

It has been seven years since Yuan Shao owned the four prefectures. In the winter of the fourth year of Jian'an, the troops of Yanzhou on the south bank of the Yellow River were faintly mobilized and deployed defenses. In the beginning of the fifth year of Jian'an, hundreds of thousands of Yuan troops in the four prefectures gathered one after another with different banners. The fast horses and scouts passed the orders from Yecheng along the way in two months, and implemented them on the heads of each general.

In early April, the Yuan army was reorganized and gathered together began to rush to their respective positions. A war that truly belonged to hundreds of thousands of people finally began on this land. On April 7th, Zhang He led 13,000 Yuan troops to Liyang.

Eleven, Yan Liang and Jiao Chu led 40,000 troops and suddenly sent troops to Le, and the white horse guarded by Liu Yan came.

On April 13, Guo Yuan, who led 30,000 troops, brought Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang to the other side of Yanjin, prepared to cross the river, scrape the wood from nearby villages, build rafts and floating bridges, and prepare to defeat Li Dian on the other side of the shore with one blow, and then echoed Yan Liang of the white horse and rushed to Guandu.

The deployment of defenses in various places on both sides of the Yellow River was in an imminent situation. The most sensitive thing was Le Jin, who guarded the white horse, and the two generals Liu Yan, small-scale tests, and the confrontation broke out in the wild from time to time, but both sides seemed to be deliberately enduring and suppressing the complete outbreak at this time.

A small-scale temptation, Zhang He, who was in the middle of the four pillars, collected and sent messages every moment after entering Liyang, allowing Yan Liang to remain restrained, but the other party's temper had already made him feel that war was about to start at any time. On the other hand, Cao Cao was clearly in such a huge gap in military strength, and he was still coming up to him, which also made him feel nervous and suspicious.

"Cao Cao is not such a reckless person. It is not like this person's style to fight head-on at this time. Moreover, he has counselors such as Guo Jia and Xun You. Doing such a thing will only speed up the defeat..."

Zhang He rubbed his chin with a short moustache, frowned with grin, and then called the deputy general: "Send a fast horse every half day to remind General Yan to be careful of fraud, and send another fast horse back to Yecheng to inform the lord's front line information, and do not delay the road!"

On the third day of the war, the fast horses were still coming. The main force of Jizhou was still resting one after another, with flags of various colors standing everywhere. Yuan Shao sat in the government office in his regular clothes to handle military affairs waiting for approval. Mobilizing such a huge army was not as simple as a letter of order. The supplies involved were unimaginable numbers. In addition to the elite troops directly under the jurisdiction, soldiers from various counties were also organized into the generals and command operations. Even if this process was fast, it would take a lot of time.

The matter was not yet completed, and it was already noon. Guo Tu and Feng Ji and others came here to wait. Later, Yuan Shao put down his pen and sent someone to invite them to the main hall to talk.

"Has the defense in Youzhou been implemented?" Someone brought the meal over and Yuan Shao asked after taking a bite.

"Report to the lord, General Wen, General Han, and the news has been implemented." Guo and Feng Feng consciously went to sit next to him. Feng Ji spoke: "Youzhou is still very large after all, and only a few subordinates need to firmly protect a few cities. Even if Gongsun Zhi's cavalry is coming, it will take a lot of time. At that time, the lord had concentrated his advantages to defeat Cao Cao in one fell swoop. He was powerless to return to Shanggu County. If the troops were divided, it would be difficult for Cao Cao to reduce a lot of pressure.

"You don't know Gongsun Zhi."

Yuan Shao took a bite of rice, chewed vegetables, and pointed the other party from the air: "...... This person will not care about the gains and losses of a city and a place. It can be seen from his plunder of Liaodong that if he cares about the city, he could kill Gongsun Du directly. He has taken those counties by himself. He has great ambitions and his eyes are far away. It is impossible to watch Cao Cao and I fight to death. He will conquer the city behind him. If Cao Cao is defeated, he will spit out the city he has obtained and run back in shame."

"The lord said so, the white wolf will definitely go south."

"It must go south!" Yuan Shao put down his bowl and chopsticks and said affirmatively, and he paused: "... But why should I be afraid of him? I used to be helpless with him, and the troops could not encircle him. Now that hundreds of thousands of troops have all started, if he has the courage, he will definitely tear it to pieces."

Tens of thousands of cavalry may not be able to defeat them, but at the level of hundreds of thousands of people, Yuan Shao's confident words are not unreasonable. After all, once such a number of people is spread out, it will be as terrifying as a vast ocean. Even if the Northland Wolf Cavalry is now facing the front and rushed into such an array, the consequences will probably be unbearable.

The three of them said something in the hall. From time to time, busy officials around came and went with official documents. When they arrived and removed the meal, someone came outside to report: "The chief clerk Chen Lin is waiting outside."

Then, a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a green robe and a literati scarf wrapped in a bun, walked in with a gentle face and his beard as long as his chest. He was originally a staff member of the general He Jin, who had dissuaded the other party not to let Dong Zhuo go to Beijing... Afterwards, he took refuge in Jizhou and joined Yuan Shao's command. He did not plan much. He usually was responsible for some official documents, and compiling documents was not very important.

Chen Lin came in and bowed to Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao waved his hand to let him sit down in the side seat, and then told him straight to the point of asking him to come: "When the war is approaching, hundreds of thousands of men are fighting bravely to kill the enemy, how can there be no manifesto against the thieves?"

"Character? This...is good!" Chen Lin's eyes became more energetic and she nodded.

Yuan Shao stood up on the desk, frowned and thought carefully, and slowly walked back and forth in the middle with his hands, "... The world's chaos arose from the Yellow Turbans, the nine provinces were turbulent, the Han Dynasty was swaying and swaying and storming, and they were all threatened. They all first listed each country facing a crisis, and there were always wise people coming to quell the chaos. After Cao Cao's eunuch, his grandfather Cao Teng was the regular attendant in the palace, intertwined feathers to stir up wind and waves, arrogant and indulged in the people, and his father Cao Song, eunuch

The eunuch adopted son, a man who was inclined to be in power, colluded with power, rode a golden carriage and jade chariot, intending to subvert the imperial power and usurp the throne. Cao Cao was cunning and a hero, and even led the prime minister to imprison the emperor and trapped the emperor in Xudu. Gongsun Zhi, the white horse general, grew up in the horse shed of the Xiongnu on the grassland. He was cruel and incompetent, and was killed indiscriminately, so that it was difficult to see people thousands of miles from Liaodong. Now he is in junction with eunuchs, intending to get involved in the Han Dynasty. I, Yuan Shao, swearing to stop the two of them..."

...

The spring breeze blew across the foothills of the northern part of the country, and the carriage drove through the rugged road, swaying along the official road to Juyong Pass. After submitting the customs clearance certificate, Xu You stood on the carriage with spring breeze on his face and chased him to say goodbye to Dan Jing on the city tower behind him. After walking for several miles, he asked the carriage behind him to stop.

He went over and carefully uncovered the curtains and looked at the few boxes quietly placed inside.

"I didn't expect Governor Gongsun was so generous."

Then, he opened it carefully, and the golden luster inside was covered in his eyes. When he got off the carriage again, Xu You walked forward calmly and came to the carriage with Yuan Xi, and arched his hands through the curtain: "Second Young Master, are you tired from traveling a long distance? Why not come out to have some breath, rest for a while, and then continue on the road?"

In the vague outline, Yuan Xi comforted the woman beside him and walked out of the car. His face was pale but his complexion was much better than before. He looked at Xu You in front of him and secretly glanced at the carriage. When he was about to look at the mouth, the scholar opposite helped him and walked a few steps, and said first: "You came to Shanggu County twice for the matter of the young master. Although he was sharing the worries for the master, his body was too weak after all. When he came back, he accepted the three gifts of the governor Gongsun, which were all nourishing things on the grassland. Please forgive me. If the lord asks me, I hope the young master can think of You for your hard work..."

Yuan Xi swallowed what he wanted to tell and looked at the person in front of him, became alert, turned around and left, waved his hand: "I understand, then keep going."

Behind this team, the pass gate was not closed. In the direction of Shanggu County, a vast storm of smoke and dust swept over. Shan Jing stood on the city tower, pressing the hilt of the sword, and his eyes were like a torch as the galloping cavalry passed through from below.

Soon after, the cavalry will rush into the first line of defense in Youzhou like an awl.

...

In Yecheng, the voices in the government office continue.

"...... Since I was in charge of the four states, Yuan Shao has worked diligently to abide by his duties, recruited heroes and heroes who have no way to join the country, governed the local area, and when Dong Zhuo disrupted the court and bullied all officials, I also drew my sword to serve the king, beat the drum to summon all heroes to fight against the traitors. I thought that although Cao Mengde was a eunuch, he should have the spirit of chivalrous spirit, but he was a brave but not a wise man. He attacked without permission and was defeated by Dong Zhuo's minions and Xu Rong, which lost the morale of our coalition, which forced our alliance to disband. After returning to the army, he thought that he had nowhere to go and was left to do anything, so he gave him land, gave the army, and even asked him to take Yanzhou. Unexpectedly, this person was

He was arrogant and arrogant, and he ignored me, and changed his power to harm one side. He killed Jiujiang prefect Bian Ran, killed his wife and daughter, which caused the indignation of Quanzhou. Later, Chen Gong raised his arms and got Lu Bu to lead his troops and seize his land and city, just like a dog that was lost. It was also my Yuan Shao who was grateful to Cao Cao, and sent troops to attack the remnants of Dong Zhuo in the past and forced Lu Bu to perish in Xuzhou. However, Cao Cao was not grateful and abandoned Yuan Shao's kindness! In the fourth year of Jian'an, he secretly transferred troops to the Yellow River and stared at him. Jizhou was facing the threat of destruction. Now he can only give up the idea of ​​not being able to fight with his family and robbing each other, and bravely faced the enemy."

...

On the vast foothills of Taihang Mountain, Ren Hongchang sat on the rocks outside the forest with several confidant female soldiers, untied the water bag and took a sip, looking at the land belonging to Youzhou. Soon, she would soon arrive in Shanggu County and see the man there. As for what to say to the other party, she didn't think about it.

After a while, he set off again and walked into the depths of the forest.

In front of Juyong Pass, the horse's hooves shook the earth and rushed past. Xu You woke up from the carriage and hurriedly ran to the car and looked back. A splatter of smoke and dust approached. He opened his mouth slightly, trying to make a sound to remind everyone to watch, but an army came.

...

The figure walked by, shaking the candle with a breeze, and the sound was majestic.

"...... And Gongsun Zhi is as short-sighted and cruel as his father. Liu Yu, the former Youzhou governor, pacified the Hu people in the border areas with all his heart. He has made achievements. Gongsun Zhi came and ruined his achievements and killed his royal relatives without permission. He was really the same as Cao Mengde. He used the name of the country's border Pacification, but in fact he was attacked by the north and south, and he had the intention of swallowing the world. There was no smart person in the world? He actually did such a thing that was more obvious, which made people laugh and disgusting..."

...

In Xuzhou, Chen Deng led more than 10,000 people to chase and kill the fleeing Yuan Bing. At the same time, Yuan Shu had fled to Jiangting, with less than a hundred people around him, and his carriages and horses were lost, and even his family was captured by the pursued Xuzhou soldiers.

The spring breeze is pleasant, the flags are broken and decayed. I don’t know how many pursuers are coming here in the distance. Looking at dozens of confidants around you, Yuan Shu sat dejectedly on the stone beside the road with the hilt of the sword. Occasionally, his eyes are raised to look north, and sometimes he will look at the direction of Shouchun. The sword is raised and pressed on his neck.

"My four generations and three masters of the Yuan family, why did I reach this point today... Why... Why ahhhh?" He stood up with a thunderclap on the hilt of the sword and roared at his confidant who was looking around.

At some point, the sword edge fell into the flesh.

...

The main hall stopped, as if he felt something. Yuan Shao stood still and looked to the south, his beard trembled slightly: "... From today on, the four states in the north, You, Ji and Qing will send troops at the same time, and will never indulge Gongsun and Cao's two thieves in chaos and chaos in the Han Dynasty, calling on all states and counties in the world to fight against the thieves and support the country."

"That's probably it!" Yuan Shao pursed his lips tightly at the bright sky outside, then waved to Chen Lin: "Take it and change it, make it better, and then announce the world!"

After walking a few steps, Yuan Shao stopped and narrowed his eyes: "Xi'er should be on the way back."

...

In the north, the five thousand cavalrymen poured out of Juyong Pass and the 30,000 troops on the first line of defense in Youzhou were killed without a word, and the corpses were everywhere and bloody land was stained.
Chapter completed!
