After hearing Ma Liang's military report.

Nie Zefeng hurriedly commanded the guards in the room, "Quick, mark the progress of the two armies on the map immediately..." The two guards were also urged by Chu King Nie Zefeng, and the guards climbed up and slowly drew the advance route of the two armies.

Nie Zefeng admired the wonderful lines on the picture obsessively.

Ma Liang suddenly heard the sound of fire outside. He walked over quickly and saw the wildfires all over the mountains and fields. He turned around and shouted: "Your Majesty, please come out..."

Nie Zefeng stood in front of the map and asked in confusion: "What's going on?"

Ma Liang ran over and led Nie Zefeng to the entrance of the hall: "Come out and take a look..."

The gate of the palace opened, and there were countless torches dancing on the big steps all over the mountains and plains.

Seeing the king coming out, the officers and soldiers who were lighting torches cheered and shouted loudly: "Long live! Long live!"

Nie Zefeng was moved to tears by the shouts of the crowd in front of him.

Suddenly, people behind the crowd stepped out of the way, and thousands of soldiers came forward carrying General Lu Bu.

Ma Liang pointed forward excitedly and said, "Look, my lord, it is General Lu Bu who has come to report in person!"

People threw General Lu Bu into the air, shouting and cheering.

Nie Zefeng watched and watched, and the smile froze on his face. He turned around and walked back to the palace and said in a voice that could hardly be heard by outsiders: "I have many scout horses, so why should he come to report in person..."

After the soldiers calmed down and Lu Bu entered the palace, Nie Zefeng briefly explained and asked about the war ahead. Nie Zefeng reiterated once again that his goal was the entire Jizhou, even including Liaodong. Lu Bu had already felt it, although Nie Zefeng did not

He clearly expressed his blame, but Lu Bu had already felt it and immediately returned to the front line to continue the attack.

But at this time in Jizhou, it was a different situation.

Yuan Shao's wounded soldiers were lying on the ground, huddled together and sleeping outside the tent.

Yuan Shang led the remaining defeated soldiers out of Yecheng and now retreated to the camp a hundred miles away from Yecheng.

At this time, the bonfire on the campground had been extinguished, and a faint cool smoke was floating around.

The camp was crowded with women.

When Yuan Shang heard the familiar horse's neigh, he stood up suddenly: "Listen, it's Han Qiong's white horse back!"

The women and the generals stood up and followed Yuan Shang out of the tent.

Wounded soldiers, old people, and children were all standing on the slope in front of the tent. Apparently they were all familiar with the neighing of the white horse. They looked forward eagerly.

On the horizon of the plain, a white horse covered in blood came staggering forward, carrying the crumpled Yuan Shao on its back. Yuan Shang's eyes were shocked and excited: "General Yuan Shao is back!"

The remaining soldiers and horses of Jizhou and Yuan Shao's family members shouted: "General Yuan Shao is back!" and swarmed towards the white horse. Yuan Shang excitedly ran forward with the crowd and shouted: "Father, father!"

The white horse carried Yuan Shao into the crowd, and the white horse knelt on the ground.

People were shocked.

Yuan Shao's body on the white horse has long since dried up.

People were shocked and moved out of the way.

Yuan Shang walked over among the crowd, and she shouted in a crying voice: "Father, father... you are back! Oh... my God!"

Because Yuan Shang originally thought that his father was seriously injured, but unfortunately, Yuan Shang only saw one corpse, Yuan Shao's corpse. When Yuan Shang saw all this, he collapsed to the ground.

Everyone saw Yuan Shao's body and Yuan Shang lying there. People rushed to Yuan Shang's side with cries and shouts: "Young General!"

The generals on the left and right came out from behind the crowd and greeted everyone: "Quick! Take the young general into the tent!"

The white horse struggled on the ground and spit out a mouthful of blood, his eyes wide open and he died!

In this way, Yuan Shang, who was in sorrow, spent the day with a wry smile.

The next day it was dawn.

Han Qiong and Han Meng led a group of generals through the corridor and came to Yuan Shang's sleeping tent. They knelt down in order. The leading general, General Han Qiong, reported loudly: "General Han Qiong of the Han Dynasty

, Deputy General Han Meng and other generals pay their respects to the Major General!"

After a loud shout, all the Jizhou troops and horses present knelt down facing the sleeping tent, and shouted in unison: "Greetings to the young general!" In the silence, first two guards walked out, and then Yuan Shang walked out.

Yuan Shang closed his eyes and was stunned.

Han Qiong reported: "Jizhou must be left without an owner for a day. After the general died on the battlefield, I acted as the general. However, I felt that my authority was not enough to unite the people and revive the morale of our Jizhou and the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, I specially ask the Major General to come forward to stabilize the country and villages and inspire the courage of the subjects."

As soon as Han Qiong said this, the whole audience fell silent.

Yuan Shang looked up to the sky and laughed three times.

Everyone was laughing so hard that their hair shivered.

Yuan Shang burst into tears suddenly, and said sadly: "Oh God, why are you torturing me like this, why..." Yuan Shang's cry moved everyone, and there was a cry in the camp.

Yuan Shang was already crying.

Huge cries and great sadness enveloped the camp.

Suddenly, Yuan Shang stopped crying, wiped away his tears, and looked at everyone solemnly.

A pair of tearful eyes looked at him.

Yuan Shang finally stopped his tears. After slowly wiping his tears, Yuan Shang said generously: "My subjects of the Han Dynasty, my soldiers and civilians in Jizhou, sorrow cannot replace our courage to survive. Although, I, Jizhou,

Although the army and horses have just suffered a defeat, the national system is still there, the mountains and rivers are still there, we hope

The spirit of the state's soldiers and horses is still there. I am still young and cannot command the entire army. I would like to entrust General Han Qiong to act as the general. I hope that all the people of Jizhou will work together to overcome the difficulties.

The Han Dynasty has always looked after me, Yuan Shao, and everything will be fine, everything will be fine!"

After saying that, Yuan Shang tried his best to smile, and then slowly returned to the sleeping tent. Just when Yuan Shang was about to return to the big tent, suddenly a horse came quickly and shouted: "Wait a minute, wait a minute."

When Yuan Shang retreated, all the generals in his tent congratulated Han Qiong on becoming a general.

However, at this time, everyone saw General Zhang Nan coming.

Zhang Nan held up the general's seal and announced loudly: "The general has given his orders and appointed Major General Yuan Shang as the general to continue to lead our battles."

After hearing this order, the whole audience was silent, and then suddenly burst into tears. The cry shook the heaven and earth. Amidst the crying... Han Qiong took the lead, knelt down and worshiped: "Meet General Yuan Shang!"

Then, other generals also worshiped in unison: "Meet General Yuan Shang!"

After receiving the order, Yuan Shang took the general's seal from Zhang Nan with both hands and announced loudly: "I, the soldiers of Jizhou, you have all heard it. In the name of General Yuan Shao, I hereby ask you to send the scattered people

Gather together, prop up the collapsed tents, re-ignite the cooled pot piles, and let the military and civilians work together to overcome the difficulties!"

Yuan Shangren's face was trying to cheer up. Suddenly someone shouted: "The Han Dynasty will not be destroyed, long live the general!"

Then everyone shouted in unison: "Long live the general, long live the general!!"

After this defeat, Yuan Shang began to gather his troops. They were attacked by all parties along the way, and finally they retreated to the border of Jizhou and Youzhou. It was only then that Yuan Shang gathered tens of thousands of troops, and from then on south of the Yellow River

The warlords could no longer gather hundreds of thousands of troops.

Although Yuan Shao is young, he continues to expand his strength and territory under the protection of veteran Han Qiong.

After Lü Bu quickly returned to the battlefield in Jizhou, he attacked Yecheng in one fell swoop. The defenders of Yecheng, Shenpei, Guo Tu, Xu You and others died in battle, while Jushou was also captured on the battlefield and transported to Xuchang.

At this time, troops and cavalry were constantly moving in and out of Yecheng.

Yuan Shao's general had General Lu Bu's flags everywhere, and the general's palace was also filled with all kinds of captured goods.

The sergeants are all making preparations before departure. They are preparing for the next attack.

After pacifying Yecheng, Lu Bu left General Huang Zhong to guard it while he once again led his troops to attack.

After capturing Yecheng in Jizhou, Pei Yuanshao was shot to death by random arrows during the attack on Xingzhou. Pei Yuanshao's troops temporarily returned to Jizhou and returned to Huang Zhong's control. As a pioneer general, Zhang Jaw captured Handan, Wu'an and other cities along the way.

Along the way, they fought directly to the area of ​​Dingzhou Prefecture. Also fighting to the front were Zhang Bao and General Zhou Cang.

General Lu Bu had just left Yecheng, and Lu Bu was camped outside Yecheng.

At this time, General Lu Bu was sitting alone in his tent, meditating.

Zang Ba, who was dressed in a dusty style, came in.

Lu Bu came in and asked, "Looking at your expression, I know the body has not been found."

Zang Ba helplessly replied: "Every search for Qingqi has returned, but there is still no whereabouts of Yuan Shao's Chanyu. After interrogating the generals and soldiers who captured Yuan Shao and surrendered, they only knew that Han Qiong rode a white horse and led Yuan Shao to break through.

There is a theory that he may have found a remote place to end his life..."

General Lu Bu said suspiciously: "Suicide? Yuan Shao is different from the generals of our Chu army. The Yuan family regards the Han Dynasty as their own responsibility, and there are few suicide precedents. This statement will definitely not satisfy the king. The king is still alive.

If you want to see people, if you die, you want to see corpses..."

Zang Ba reported: "The army will continue to attack. I'm afraid there will be no time to search."

General Lu Bu continued: "What's going on in the world will never be settled. Has anyone from Huang Zhong's department contacted you?" Zang Ba shook his head and said, "General Huang Zhong is a face-loving old man. The Huang family army has suffered such a heavy blow. I'm afraid he doesn't want to face it.

Cross-examination of the military commander Shi."

General Lu Bu ordered: "Let's do this. You take some of the captured items and express my condolences to the surviving soldiers of the Huang tribe. After all, General Huang has made some contributions. Please comfort him with a few words! In addition, you tell him that Pei Yuanshao's deputy general is in charge.

More than 10,000 elite cavalry are about to arrive at Yecheng, and these more than 10,000 cavalry will be enough for General Huang Zhong."
