"There are signs of troops being mobilized by Juyong Pass. Xu Rong from Yanmen County will definitely go south to Bingzhou. This information has arrived a little late, and I don't know if it is accurate."

"Go back to the lord, Youzhou was originally the second son who went to Youzhou. Now he is stranded in Yecheng and drank with his wives and concubines all day long. There is no one in charge there. Gongsun Zhi is sure to take Youzhou. If the information is not fake, the wolf should be competing with Cao Cao for time, but no matter what, the news is not good for us."

In Shen Pei's voice, Yuan Shang grasped the information in his hand, and frowned slightly on his somewhat immature face, "...... It's really unfavorable. Now my eldest brother is still in Qingzhou and intends to let me come down and hand over Jizhou to him, but how can I control the four states with such a eldest brother?"

Walking to the threshold, Yuan Shang clenched his fists and gently knocked on the door a few times, and suddenly laughed: "...... The senior officials have been operating Bingzhou for several years. It should be no problem to resist Xu Rong with a state of one state. As for Youzhou... Don't you think that Gongsun Zhi sent troops a little earlier? It was frozen in February and the weather was still cold. This is a taboo for military strategists. There was no one in charge of the Youzhou for a long time. People below were frightened when they heard a little movement. In this way, they set up defenses in northern Hebei, and then first eliminate the gap with their elder brother to reach a consensus. How can they defeat Gongsun Zhi and Cao Cao if they are not united?"

"Where is the second young master?"

"Don't worry about him, this matter will be depressed. Even if Youzhou is handed over to him, it will be given to others." Yuan Shang waved his hand indifferently, "Let him lie down at home and see how my younger brother resolves the internal strife of his brothers and resists Gongsun Zhi and Cao Cao."

He held his head up and looked at the green outside with his hands behind his back. The sun was passing through the shaking branches and shining on the ground. "... Gongsun Zhi was very powerful and could never last long." Thinking of this, he pulled the corner of his mouth and couldn't help but smile.

It is not difficult for the rich Jizhou to defeat the wolf. In the past, Yuan Shao's army was huge, but the majority of the recruits were involved. After the Guandu battle, the defeated army was disrupted and reorganized, which was an army with combat experience. However, if Cao Cao wanted to defeat Cao Cao, the power of the two prefectures of Ji was only effective. Yuan Tan wanted to be independent and was unwilling to accept the orders of his younger brother. This was Yuan Shang's biggest trouble at present.

"The eldest brother sent someone to come over and invite him to meet in Leping. No matter what, he and I are brothers. My father is gone. We should work together to guard the four states and accumulate strength before waiting for the next year. As for Gongsun Zhi's military service, no matter whether it is true or false, I am not afraid of him. As long as we meet the eldest brother and handle the relationship between brothers well, with the wealth of my Jizhou, ten Gongsun Zhi will not be in my eyes."

Yuan Shang waved his palm heroically, then clenched his fists, smiled with a handsome face, and said to Shen Pei behind him. The latter vaguely saw a trace of Yuan Shao's style in the past and nodded: "The first step forward is right. Only by letting the eldest son understand the current situation of the four states and working with us to fight the enemy together can we regain the prestige of the first emperor back then."

Two days later, Yuan Shang's intention and Fengfa summoned Shen Pei, Fengji and a group of strategists discussed countermeasures. On the other hand, he sent an envoy to Licheng at the border between Qing and Hebei to show the interests. When the news of sending troops in the north and February was still skeptical, the second news had spread from north to south. The clan who had originally had a grudge against Gongsun Zhi was so scared that he was sweating in a cold sweat. He was shocked in that circle, and then sent a large number of fast horses to pass on to Jizhou one after another, just like the thunder in spring extending rumbling.

On February 21, the White Wolf Cavalry led by Zhao Yun and Qianzhao, Yan Rou's Heishan Cavalry crossed Juyong Pass, blocked Yushui, and cleared away the Youzhou scouts. On the 27th, they formed a defensive line with Gongsun Yue and Tian Kai of Changping. On the second day, the Youyan infantry led by Gongsun Xu and Zou Dan gathered together to repel Yuyang soldiers and horses, crossed the river to raid fox slaves, and threatened Yuyang City.

At the same time, Gongsun Kang of Liaodong raided Youbeiping County, defeated Lingzhi, and after Long Xianshui, he rested for several days and rushed to Pinggang City.

On the first day of March, nearly 50,000 northern troops gathered at Yuyang City to attack the city. On the morning of the fifth day of the lunar month, 30,000 Youyan infantry attacked the south gate and took down the city wall in four hours. The city gate was opened inside. In the afternoon, the city fell and a huge white wolf flag was hung.

On March 11, Bailang, led by Zhao Yun and Qianzhao, and two cavalrymen in Heishan, totaling 10,000 cavalry, launched a cleaning to Guangyang and Zhuo County...

Yuan Shang, who was still discussing the matter, held the battle report, his hands trembled slightly, and the fine sweat beads on the back of his neck burst out from his skin. He looked at Shen Pei beside him, Feng Ji and the others, "...what should I do?"

It was early April when the news came to Yecheng. Yuan Shang was still a little immature after all. Last year and even in previous years, he didn't feel anything. Now he saw the dazzling handwriting on it and began to panic.

*******

On the ninth day of the fourth month, Xudu, Yuzhou.

The Prime Minister's Mansion was filled with noise, and the servants were holding official documents down the eaves. The open handling of the official room came from the official room, and the sound of bamboo slips. Cao Cao brought Cao's things from the Prime Minister's Mansion to come from outside, listening to the income of grain and fodder, expenses, and the promotion of military farms by the government after the beginning of this year.

On the other hand, the news of Gongsun Zhi sending troops in February had already spread. The staff and advisers in the prime minister's mansion agreed that this was the best opportunity to capture the Qing and Ji prefectures. Now the three armies are on the verge of fighting, the entire prime minister's mansion is running. The transfer of food, fodder, weapons, armor, and defense changes are already on the surface, and secretly, some of the troops are turning north to Qingzhou and heading straight towards Runan, Yuzhou.

After walking out of the Prime Minister's Mansion and heading to the north gate of Xudu, a team was waiting there. Cao Cao got off the carriage and went to Wang Lang and Xu You to practice it. In order to protect the envoy's team, he arrived in Shanggu County safely and wanted to return to Jia Xu, he specially sent a group of 500 soldiers to accompany him throughout the journey.

"Don't send him off again, go to Shanggu County here, and I will convince Gongsun Zhi and return the Jinwu."

Cao Cao sent him onto the carriage and then bowed to the two of them: "This matter is a laborious thing. You know more or less about Gongsun Zhi, don't be careless. His army is now attacking You, and you shouldn't be too worried about it. When you ask for Wenhe, you will come back quickly and don't make any mistakes..."

Not long after, watching the team of envoys leave, Cao Cao received the news from Cheng Yu. He frowned and looked at the imperial city for a moment, folded the silk, put it in his sleeve, and calmed down at the person who was passing the message: "Don't make this happen for the time being, let Zhongde put down the matter behind temporarily and turn it into capturing the assassin."

At the same time as the secret confrontation in Xuchang City began, in mid-May, Gongsun Zhi was inspecting the imitation of Jizhou crossbows, which was about to be installed on a large scale.

"It seems that Cao Cao is going to give up Jia Xu. No one has come here yet... or it's too slow."

Whoosh

The crossbow arrow was nailed to the wooden stake. He put down the crossbow body and handed it to Li Ke. At this time, someone came over and whispered a few words beside Dian Wei. The giant nodded and asked the other party to leave. He turned around to Gongsun Zhi who was walking back and said, "Lord, someone is here in Xiliang."

"Xiliang?"

Gongsun Zhi frowned and looked at the gloomy clouds with his hands behind his back, "What are you doing here at this time... bringing people to the school grounds."
