The tactics were decided, Liu Qing made arrangements in the military camp, and then sent a letter to Zhang Ning.

According to Liu Qing's arrangement, Chu Yan took Zhang Niujiao and a group of Montenegrin troops directly back to Montenegro. Perhaps it won't be long before the name of Montenegro Chu Feiyan will become famous in Hanoi.

Liu Qing rode his horse back to Yuanshi, riding one person at a time. When he was about to reach the gate of Yuanshi city, he suddenly stopped.

An idea suddenly came to mind: After Shenpei captured Anping County, Liu Qing would de facto occupy the nine counties of Jizhou. In order to consolidate this achievement, Jizhou must unify its administration and cannot follow the old way of being led by a certain talented staff member.

Moreover, the unification of Jizhou can be said to have achieved a phased goal, but Liu Qing was still vague about the next specific goal.

Even Cai Yan knows better than herself what she wants to do.

Looking at Yuan's city gate, Liu Qing thought, what's next?

Bingzhou? Qingzhou? Yanzhou?

Yuan family? Yellow turban? Heroes?

"Alas, the goal was accomplished too quickly, which is also a kind of helplessness!" Liu Qing sighed and entered the city.

Maybe this is the invincible loneliness.

…

Zhao Yan led his troops to drink their horses by the stream. While stroking the manes of the horses, he looked up at the sky to identify the direction.

"Hey, who is that? We didn't run the wrong way, did we?" A strong man sitting on the grass joked.

Zhao Yan suddenly turned around, looked at the strong man sitting on the ground and rested, and said seriously: "If you don't call me Hey, call me General Zhao!"

Zhao Yan raised his head and patted his chest, looking serious. However, Zhao Yan was young and his body bones were not fully grown. Among the strong soldiers, he was undoubtedly the shortest.

Zhao Yan was also very curious as to why these people were so special. Why did Master Xun and Xi Zhicai select one from a hundred to recruit a group of soldiers who were famous for their strength?

Could it be that King Bohai was using him as a bodyguard?

Then I will sit as a Guards General! Zhao Yan thought to himself.

At this time, Xi Yang, who he didn't know many of the strong soldiers, suddenly ran over and called him awkwardly: "Mr. Zhao!"

In Xi Yang's view, Zhao Yan was a scholar and the messenger of the Xun family. When they were in Yingchuan, they all ate from the Xun family.

"What's the matter?"

"There was an army passing by outside the forest. It looked like there were thousands of people."

Thousands of people? Zhao Yan suddenly became alert. If he encountered enemy troops, he would be in trouble. None of the five hundred of them carried weapons.

"Can you see the name of the military flag?"

"bridge!"

Bridge? Is it a bridge?

Zhao Yan also paid a lot of attention to the Chenliu Alliance, and Qiao Mao, the governor of Dongjun, participated in it. If there is an army with the word "Qiao" in this area, it is probably him.

"Where is the marching direction?"

Xi Yang didn't know how to express it, so he pointed in that direction with his finger.

Zhao Yan's handsome and handsome eyebrows frowned. It wasn't that he didn't believe what Xi Yang said, but that Qiao Mao's move into the army was very strange.

That direction is, it's Chen Liu.

At this time, the Kwantung Allied Forces should attack Hulao!

"Qiao Mao marched towards Chenliu, wouldn't he want to capture Zhang Miao's Chenliu, right?" Zhao Yan muttered to himself, but it's a pity that Xi Yang is just a rough guy who knows some words, so why Qiao Mao and Zhang Miao?

Chen Liu, he didn't know.

"Get ready to set off, take a detour to the west, and don't let them discover our traces." Zhao Yan gave the order to set off.

With his "General Zhao" keen intuition, this is very important information and must be reported to King Bohai as soon as possible!

A few miles away, the soldiers and horses heading south were indeed bridges.

The soldiers and horses moved forward in silence, looking at low morale. But beside Qiao Mao was a man, more than eight feet tall, with a beautiful beard and beard, but a complicated expression between his eyebrows.

"Zhongde, are you still worried about this?" Qiao Mao asked nonchalantly.

"Master Fu, our army retreated without authorization, for fear that Liu Shijun will be questioned."

"Don't worry, when I was the governor of Yanzhou, I still don't know where Liu was! I went to Chenliu this time out of helplessness. The army's food and grass were about to be exhausted, and I didn't know when new food would be delivered. What do you think?

What should I do?"

Cheng Yu, the meritorious officer, was speechless. What Qiao Mao said was also true. Before the soldiers and horses were moved, food and grass went first. It was such a simple truth. However, the Eighteenth Army Town seemed to be huge, but the food and grass area had always been a bad debt.

First, Sun Jian's food and grass were delayed. Later, Qiao Mao, the leader of the alliance, ordered to march into Aocang, but did not receive any food and grass. Qiao Mao was so angry that he immediately led his troops back to Chenliu.

In Cheng Yu's opinion, this move was too childish, but as a meritorious officer of Dongjun, he could only follow it.

From this point, Cheng Yu saw that the Kwantung Allied Forces seemed to be incompatible with each other but had no hope of defeating Dong.

Dongjun was scourge by the Yellow Turbans last year, and Cheng Yu also emerged at this time. He led the people in Dong'e County to fight against the remnants of Bu Si, and gained a slight reputation. Later, he was recruited by the county government, and he won the position of meritorious officer due to his talents.

Cheng Yu, who is a meritorious officer, knows the situation of Dongjun very well. The grain stocks in the counties in the north of the county have been looted by Bu Si. Moreover, when Huangfu Song's army was stationed in Puyang, they also consumed the grain of Dongjun. In addition, last year

The land was abandoned and many areas were harvestless. A combination of various factors forced the Qiao Mao Army to rely only on the food left behind.

After Zhang Miao was transferred to Yingchuan by Yuan Shao, his food supply was cut off...

"Alas!" Cheng Yu sighed, "Liu Shijun has food, I don't know why it is like this."

He doesn't understand.

"Huh, he's afraid that I'm too powerful. He wishes that my troops in Dongjun would be scattered and starved to death!" Qiao Mao said displeased.

"Your Majesty, be careful what you say." Cheng Yu reminded.

"Did I say something wrong? Since I made him the shepherd of Yanzhou, he has considered himself the lord of Yanzhou. He wants to take the soldiers of various counties as his own. Why do you think Zhang Miao is willing to help me with food and grass?" Qiao Qiao

Mao Road.

Cheng Yu knew that if Dongjun ran out of food and dispersed his troops, Liu Dai's next target would be Zhang Miao of Chenliu County.

After all, he could not move Yuan Yi from Shanyang County and Ding Yuan from Jiyin County, but Bao Xin from Jibei County was still defeated and had nothing left.

Although Qiao Mao's move was a way to protect himself, it also showed his incompetence. Cheng Yu had no expression on his face, but he was thinking in his heart that the world is in chaos now, and if he wants to protect himself and survive, he needs to find a powerful leader.

OK.

…

Yuan Shao's army came to Huai County. He looked at the empty city. He held a riding whip and pointed at the city head and praised: "When my army arrives, the thieves flee in the wind. Who knows who the governor of Hanoi is now?"

Chen Lin stepped forward and said: "The leader of the alliance is Zhu Jun and Zhu Gongwei."

"Zhu Jun?" Yuan Shao was immediately surprised, "Zhu Jun shouldn't be someone who is greedy for life and afraid of death. How could he run away?"

"Haha, Ming Gong, Dong Zhuo must be unpopular, and Zhu Gongwei is unwilling to fight to the death to defend the city." Guo Tu said.

"What Gongze said is reasonable. Dong Zhuo is a rebellious person. Zhu Gongwei is a veteran general of the Han Dynasty. He will not be willing to encourage him." Yuan Shao said.

"Alliance leader, Zhu Jun has quite a military strategy and is a good warrior, so we have to guard against him," Feng Ji reminded.

"What Yuan Tu said is not unreasonable. He sent an order to be on guard and sent someone to find out where Zhu Jun went?" Yuan Shao said the order, then turned to Wang Kuang who was silent and said: "On official days, you are for Hanoi. Prefect, this scene in front of you really deserves your name, haha!"

Yuan Shaohao said arrogantly, but Wang Kuang looked at the Huai County Gate Tower with a smile but not a smile. For some reason, this was well deserved, and he suddenly felt a little ironic.

The name was given by the Yuan family, but the current reality was actually brought by Yuan Shao.

The soldiers and horses opened the way, the city gates were wide open, and Yuan Shao led the soldiers forward.

As Yuan Shao walked, he said: "On public holidays, there is still some way to transport grain and grass across the river to this place, and I heard that the Black Mountain Army in Hanoi County is extremely rampant. How about you, the governor of Hanoi, eliminate the bandits and ensure the smooth flow of grain roads?"

"I will obey the order of the alliance leader!" Wang Kuang said.

"Then I will command the army and go straight to Mengjin!" Yuan Shao suddenly reined in his horse and stopped in place, "Yan Liang!"

A general from behind came forward immediately.

Guyi

"Yan Liang is here!"

"I order you to be the left vanguard, lead five thousand troops, and march into Pinggao!"

"Here!" Yan Liang said.

"Wen Chou!"

Wen Chou stepped forward.

"I order you to be the right vanguard, lead five thousand troops, and march into the prefectures and counties!"

"Here!" Wen Chou accepted the order.

Yan Liangwen Chou accepted the order with a sonorous voice and full of fighting spirit. From Yuan Shao's humiliation at Bohai to the defeat of the Allied forces in the first battle, these two men had been holding their breath. Finally, it was their turn to take part in this battle!

Watching the two figures disappear, Yuan Shao sighed with emotion: "He is truly a supreme general!"

Yuan Shao walked a few more steps when someone suddenly came to inform him.

"Inform the leader of the alliance that Zhu Jun's whereabouts have been found out clearly. They went to the Wild King."
