Yuan Shao said coldly: "Yan Liang, Wen Chou, you lead an army of [-] to approach Changshan and force Zhang Yan to go down the mountain. If Gongsun Changping can recover the Qingzhou army, I can also make Zhang Yan bow his head and call him a general!"
"Here!"
Yan Liang and Wen Chou responded.
Yuan Shao finally looked in the direction of Ganling, and said coldly: "Young son, Gongsun, kill my heir, behead my general, and take away my title today. When I rectify the army, I will definitely break through Ganling and avenge my son!"
Marquis Ye.
It has become Yuan Shao's heart disease.
However, for Gongsun Jing, the so-called Marquis Edict is just a piece of waste paper.
The Han Dynasty has existed in name only.
The war of separatist regimes has begun.
Master more chassis, more powerful soldiers and horses, and have more people.
That is the way to lay the foundation for the strongest princes, not an edict that can make him invincible.
end of october.
Ganling City Gate.
Gongsun Jing greeted Xun You with his military and civil servants.
Xun You got off the carriage, glanced at the crowd, and couldn't laugh or cry: "Gongda is a countryman, how can the young general summon civil and military personnel to welcome him, wouldn't the world laugh at him?"
Gongsun Jing said with a smile: "Gongda has the talent of Wang Zuo, who can manage millions of people in Qingzhou!"
"Don't dare!"
Xun You bowed.
Gongsun Jing looked at Zhao Yun and said, "Zilong, you have worked hard on this trip. I have mobilized [-] cavalry from Youzhou, and you are recruiting [-] cavalry. With Baima Yicong as the core, you can gather [-] cavalry!"
"Here!"
Zhao Yun's eyes suddenly brightened.
"Please!"
Gongsun Jing entered the city first.
"After receiving Feng Xiao's letter this time, we will start to set off!"
"When we arrived in Dongjun, we got the news that Liu Dai, governor of Yanzhou, died in battle. Zhang Miao, Bao Xin and others welcomed Cao Cao as Yanzhou shepherd. This matter has been reported to Chang'an. I'm afraid there will be news in the near future!"
Xun You walked on the streets of Ganling, and said calmly.
"Liu Dai is dead?"
Guo Jia frowned suddenly.
"Major General!"
Guan Hai whispered, "Yanzhou yellow scarves are from Qingzhou?"
"Oh?"
Gongsun Jing was slightly taken aback.
Guan Hai smiled bitterly and said, "At the beginning, when General Gongsun captured the plains, some of the Yellow Turbans thought Qingzhou was about to start a war, so they fled to Mount Tai. Some time ago, Cao Cao sent people to Mount Tai to suppress the bandits. They should have let these Yellow Turbans into Yanzhou!"
Xun You nodded and said, "Cao Cao has collected these Yellow Turbans into an army!"
"Zhang Miao is finished!"
Guo Jia let out a long sigh.
Gongsun Jing said indifferently: "Zhang Miao wanted to use Cao Cao to defeat the Yellow Turbans, but he didn't expect Cao Cao to incorporate the Yellow Turbans into an army. Once Cao Cao stabilizes Yanzhou's internal affairs, he will definitely take action against them, the eunuchs, and seek his own death!"
"Not bad!"
Guo Jia nodded.
Gongsun Jing said in a deep voice: "Gongda, I worship you as the governor of Qingzhou, Yan Gang as the farewell, Feng Xiao as Sima, the Qingzhou army in charge of Hai is stationed in Ganling to guard against Yuan Shao, and Tian Kai assists in managing the internal affairs of the three counties of Jizhou. What do you think about returning to Gaotang today to deal with Qingzhou affairs?"
"inappropriate!"
Xun You shook his head.
Gongsun Jing frowned and said, "Why?"
Xun You glanced at Guo Jia apologetically, and said, "General Yan Gang is Sima, and General Tian Kai is Biejia. As for filial piety, let's discuss it later!"
"Major General!"
The faces of Zhao Yun, Guan Hai, Tian Kai and others changed.
Guo Jia was the first mastermind to follow Gongsun Jing, and it was he who wrote letters to recommend talents.
did not expect.
When Xun You first arrived, he wanted to suppress Guo Jia.
Gongsun Jing waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Today I set up the post of Military Adviser to Sacrifice Wine. As long as the position is established, you can participate in military and political affairs anywhere under my command. What does Gongda think?"
"Not bad!"
Xun You nodded.
Guo Jia stretched his waist, grinned and said, "Gongda understands me, and the post of a military officer offering wine is just what I want!"
Xun You bowed and said, "Major General, I know that there is a man in Dongjun County who has not yet been conscripted by Cao Cao. When Cao Cao becomes stable in Yanzhou, I am afraid that this person will go to the Yanzhou Mansion. If the Major General is willing, I can write a letter and go there." Dongjun, with the help of this person, great things can be expected!"
"really?"
Gongsun Jing's eyes were bright.
Xun You explained: "This man has no ambitions in his life. If he is the prefect of Qinghe, Yuan Shao's troops will not be able to cross Ganling within a year!"
"it is good!"
Gongsun Jing took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "Guan Hai, tomorrow you send someone to Dongjun with Gongda's letter, and you must find this person. Tian Kai is in charge of the two counties, and Qinghe is fully entrusted to this person."
"Here!"
Tian Kai and Guan Hai said respectfully.
"war!"
"It's finally starting!"
Gongsun Jing looked in the direction of Yanzhou and muttered to himself.
With Cao Cao serving as the shepherd of Yanzhou, the war between the princes will be regarded as the beginning, and the world will usher in a rare overlord. .
Chapter 25
The next day.
Yan Gang led the army back to Gaotang first.
He plans to summon the prefects of the entire Qingzhou on the grounds of the imperial decree.
Although the Han Dynasty existed in name only, Gongsun Jing didn't mind borrowing such a towering tree.
a few days later.
Gongsun Jing went to Gaotang after arranging Qinghe's political affairs.
Unless he wins the whole of Jizhou, his position still needs to be in Gaotang, so that he can advance and retreat without hesitation.
When I come to Gaotang again.
Youzhou military camp is still there.
However, the bitter cold wind began to sweep across the earth.
Gao Tang City.
In the temporary state shepherd's mansion.
The prefects of Donglai County, Le'an County, Qi State, and Jinan State are waiting for the hearing.
The first seat on the left.
Xun You flipped through the internal affairs documents of the four counties, and said in a deep voice, "Young General, the six counties of Qingzhou have a total of more than 240 million household registrations. After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, it is now less than [-] million, and nearly half of them are in Pingyuan County!"
"What about Beihai?"
Gongsun Jing asked.
Xun You shook his head and said in a deep voice, "Beihai only has a population of 12 and has less than [-] soldiers available. This is probably the reason why we were unable to resist General Guan Hai and asked the princes for help!"
"Forehead!"
Guan Hai smiled resentfully.
"Whoa!"
Guo Jia threw two sticks of firewood into the brazier, and said quietly, "If it was normal, Kong Wenju wouldn't do such a foolish thing, but the major general refused to rescue Beihai on the front foot, so he became the shepherd of Qingzhou on the back foot. transfer order!"
"Major General!"
Yan Gang respectfully said: "Kong Rong took Liu Bei as the vanguard and stationed five thousand troops in Juxian County, while he himself retreated to Duchang with three thousand soldiers and horses, and Liu Bei did not intend to withdraw from Juxian County, but instead was mobilizing troops!"
"its not right!"
Xun You looked at the tax statistics and wondered, "Why are there so few grains in each county?"
"There's another reason for this!"
"Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the military and political systems of all counties have collapsed!"
"Only the Beihai Kingdom is relatively complete, and there are nearly ten thousand strong soldiers and good generals!"
"Over the past few years, the Yellow Turbans have also plundered our four counties the most, making it impossible to form a large army!"
"In order to protect the people's livelihood, we deliver a large amount of grain and grass to Beihai every year. Please Kong Rong send troops to help us repel the Yellow Turbans during the autumn harvest. It is equivalent to handing over part of the protection fee!" Donglai prefect said bitterly.
"puff!"
Guo Jia took a sip of tea, his face was full of shock.
The prefect pays taxes to the prefect, I am afraid the only one in the world!
"Forehead!"
Gongsun Jing's face was also extremely dark.
Is Kong Rong the first hooligan leader in the world to collect protection fees?
"absurd!"
Xun You couldn't laugh or cry: "Major General, it's no wonder Beihai can support nearly 12 soldiers with [-] people. It seems that the problem in Qingzhou is very serious, and the entire political system has collapsed!"
"The lower official is guilty!"
The prefects of the four counties bowed their heads in shame.
It's ridiculous that the prefect pays protection fees to the prefect.
However, because of the harassment of the Yellow Turbans, they were unable to establish a sound political system and guards, which were not enough to protect the people. If things go on like this, they could only become a chaotic area.
Everything is a helpless move!
"Feng Xiao!"
Gongsun Jing looked at Guo Jia, and said in a deep voice: "Cooperate with the prefects of the four counties, write Kong Rong's crimes, deprive him of the official position of the Prime Minister of Beihai, and then write a campaign against Liu Bei who occupies Ju County, and strive to straighten out Qingzhou within this year!"
"Here!"
Guo Jia said respectfully.
Yan Gang came out and said: "Young general, the last general has already made a plan to attack Beihai. The three brothers Liu Bei have the bravery of ten thousand enemies, and with [-] troops under their command, it will be difficult to attack Juxian, so the last general thinks The troops were divided into three groups, bypassing Ju County all the way, and directly attacked Duchang where Kong Rong was located. The three brothers Liu Bei would definitely come out of the city to rescue them. "
Gongsun Jing frowned, and said, "You mean, the three armies will move together?"
"Not bad!"
Yan Gang respectfully said: "This is the fastest way to win Beihai, the end of the whole war will end within 20 days!"
