Hejian, Zheng County.

In order to implement the strategy of strengthening the walls and clearing the fields and besieging Gongsun Zan of Yijing, the Hebei army stationed a large number of elite troops in the six cities around Yijing, including Zhengxian, Wen'an, Gecheng, Fanyang, Zhuoxian and Fangcheng, limiting the white horse under Gongsun Zan to this small area, and constantly narrowing the encirclement of Yijing.

Of course, this encirclement is not completely seamless for the cavalry under Gongsun Zan.

The Yuan army did not station heavily fortified Naiguo, so the direction of An could lead to Feihu Pass. If Gongsun Zan's troops entered Feihu Pass, it could not only echo the Heishan Army that was wandering in Taihang and spread out in scattered areas, but also guide Dai County, break the Yuan army's encirclement and sweep the entire Youzhou.

But anyone with a discerning eye knows that the direction of breaking through was deliberately left by the besieged Yuan Jun to Gongsun Zan.

Once Gongsun Zan could not withstand the naked temptation in front of him and wanted to lead the army to evacuate Yijing, which he had worked hard and turn to Feihu Xing, then the Yuan army surrounded by three quarries and one quarry would swarm up to capture Yijing, and encircle and annihilate Gongsun Zan's last army in the wild.

Feihu Xing, which seems to have a glimmer of hope, is actually a dead end. The encirclement that seems to have a gap is actually a tight iron barrel that tightly traps Gongsun Zan's army.

Among the cities to which this encirclement belongs, the location of Jun County is the most important. It confronts Yijing north and south, staring at the every move of Gongsun Zan's army.

As the main general of the organization's encirclement, Que Yi led his army to station here.

In the encirclement of loose outside and tight inside, the county camp is like a golden sword and an iron horse.

However, with the arrival of Yuan Shang, Ju Su, Chunyu Qiong, Yan Liang, Wen Chou and other Yuan troops, the orderly sound of the deceptive fighting in the night changed faintly, and the finger-pointing Hebei army also slowly turned from outside to inside.

There was a strange atmosphere of anxiety and anxiety in Kuo Yi's camp.

One place and another tent.

Hebei general Tuo Yi, clan brother Tuo Yan, eldest son Tuo Ying, nephew Qu Guang and other important figures of the Tuo family, all gathered here quietly.

Because the space in the tent was too narrow, people were filled with people at this moment. The turbidity of the oil lamp and the choking smoke spread in the tent, which inevitably caused one or two people to cough from time to time.

Everyone could notice that the wick of the oil lamp was burning, but no one stood up to replace it, just as everyone was anxious at the moment but was reluctant to move.

Their Ming Gong, the overlord of Hebei, really wants to attack their Tuo family.

In the past year, Hebei's foreign military use has not achieved much results. Gongsun Zan is still leaping on Yijing on the border of Hebei. Hanoi, which was originally expected to annex, had to withdraw his troops because the imperial court sent envoys to reprimand him, which made the military efforts to attack Sanhe fail.

However, the process of Yuan Shao's integration of internal forces was being implemented in full swing.

First, there was Youzhou, and the big surnames and Wuhuan of Youzhou have always been a heart-wrenching problem in Yuan Shao.

As a large northern prefecture, Youzhou has abundant resources and strong soldiers and horses. The Wuhuan cavalry in the three counties is a famous elite army in the world.

The old subordinates of Xianyufu, Xianyuyin, Qizhou and Zhou prefectures were stabbed in the back in time by Liu Yu. Yan Rou even summoned the cavalry of Wuhuan and Xianbei to fight, assisting the Yuan army in defeating Gongsun Zan's army, causing the entire Youzhou to escape from Gongsun Zan's control and completely turned to Hebei, which can be said to have made great contributions to Yuan Shao.

However, these local forces were mixed and vaguely intended to support Liu He as the governor of Youzhou, which was also an unfavorable factor for Yuan Shao to fully control Youzhou.

Yuan Shao didn't want to suppress like Gongsun Zan and completely break up with these people, but it doesn't mean that Yuan Shao would rely on them in everything like Liu Yu.

Yuan Shao first recalled Liu He, submitted a letter to him, and gave him a title, with great honor and favor, but without any accident, Yuan Shao would never let him enter Youzhou, a land with great influence in his father.

Then Yuan Shao made a private Jin Seal of the Shanyu to be granted to the Wuhuan Lord, and selected women of the right age in the clan to marry into the Wuhuan nobles. He won the hearts of the Wuhuan people in the three counties through a series of means, and even directly sent envoys to call on the Wuhuan in the three counties to fight for him.

It is safer to hold the good knife in his own hands. Yuan Shao doesn’t want to pretend to be Yan Rou and others anymore.

Immediately afterwards, Yuan Shao supported Jiao Chu, Zhang Nan and other Youzhou tyrants to check and balance Xian Yufu, Xian Yuyin, Qi Zhou and others, and slowly divided them to undermine the power of Liu Yu's old subordinates in the state.

Finally, it was to appoint his son Yuan Xi as the governor of Youzhou and truly include Youzhou in the Yuan family.

Although the Tuo family, who was responsible for dealing with Gongsun Zan, had been exposed to some internal information in Youzhou, they felt that it was not their own. They stood by and watched the whole process with a series of measures by Yuan Shao. Unexpectedly, after Yuan Shao solved the internal affairs of Youzhou, they turned around to deal with their Tuo family.

After all, the Ku family, who has always maintained a semi-independent state and is arrogant and domineering, is also a heart-wrenching problem in Yuan Shao.

In the past year, the order from Yecheng has been urging the troops of Kuo Yi to attack Yijing Gongsun Zan.

This is exactly what Yuan Shao did to deal with the Tu family. If he wins, he just uses Gongsun Zan to consume the strength of the Tu family. If he loses, he has the name of being guilty and can take the opportunity to seize the troops in Tuo Yi's hands.

But Que Yi was not a fool, so he naturally would not let Yecheng mercy. He claimed that under the long battle, his troops, horses, food, and supplies were insufficient, and he could not use troops. While insisting on keeping his troops, he urged Yecheng to send additional troops, armor, equipment, food, and supplies to supplement his army.

Of course, Yecheng would not strengthen the strength of the Tu family at this time, but Yuan Shao did not dare to rashly cut off supplies before he was sure of it, which angered Tuo Yi. So Jun County and Yecheng started to waste it in such a way that they urged and urged to make excuses.

During the dry consumption process, Yecheng also began to try other solutions to the Tu family.

Yuan Shao secretly ordered the inspector to investigate the crime of colluding with enemies of the Tuo family. When the evidence of the crime was conclusive, he began to send troops to Zheng County that were not under the jurisdiction of attacking Gongsun Zan, and continuously increased internal and external pressure to force the Tuo family to bow their heads and submit.

Now it was almost at the point where the map was revealed. Three Hebei generals, Chunyu Qiong, Yan Liang and Wen Chou, had already led the army to vaguely surround Que Yi's troops. Yuan Shang, who arrived in Jun County, sent people to invite Que Yi to his army repeatedly in the name of discussing military information and attending a banquet, but they were all shirked by Que Yi's excuse of being ill in bed.

But this is not a solution to the dilemma. If you continue to waste this, sooner or later, the Queyi army will collapse in civil unrest.

"Sir, you can't wait any longer. In the past half month, the military supplies transported from the rear have been intercepted by Yuan Shang's son with various excuses. Everyone gathered here tonight just to wait for your order. If you don't do anything, I'm afraid that I will turn into fish on the chopping board."

The eldest son, Que Yi, had a bad temper. Perhaps he had already heard the cough in the account and smelled the smoke in the account. He couldn't help but speak first and said anxiously to his father.

With Tuo Ying's lead, the young and strong sects of the Tuo family also made a statement and joined the topic of Tuo Yi. They all advocated using force to fight against Yuan Shao and could not continue like this and let the mermaid meat.

In their opinion, since their Tuo family can overthrow a Jizhou governor, it will be nothing great to overthrow another Jizhou governor.

It’s just a few more tough battles or big battles. When it comes to tough battles or big battles, who have these Tuo family members ever been afraid of?

Jieqiao, Longcui, Lucai Mountain, Changshan, Baoqiu Shui, they fought hard battles, are there still few big battles? Han Fu, the Xiongnu, Zhang Yang, Gongsun Zan, Yu Du, Zhang Yan, and Lu Bu, all of these are famous forces, and they have all become defeated subordinates of the Tuo family.

As an elder, Kuo Yan saw these ignorant young people making a fuss, his face changed and he scolded him sternly, trying to suppress them all.

During the whole process, Kuo Yi, who was holding his jaw and rubbing the white beard, turned a blind eye and said nothing.

These young people would not know what they thought in their hearts. What they saw was the victory or defeat of the battlefield with swords and arrows flying everywhere, and they had never carefully pondered the deeper problems behind the war.

They even arrogantly believed that they had defeated Han Fu, which forced Han Fu to give Jizhou to Yuan Shao. Today, Yuan Shao angered them. They could completely overturn Yuan Shao from the position of Jizhou Governor, and then jointly elected Queyi to replace him and become the master of Jizhou and Youzhou.

But Qu Yi knew that arrogance is arrogance, and big talk will not turn into big truths. Jizhou will never be defeated by the Tuo family.

He would not sit still and wait for death. This is a consistent principle from the time he applied for the army and left the cold land.

Even if facing the overlord of Hebei, Yuan Shao, the Tuo family will do their best to fight.

But facing the full-fledged Yuan Shao, Que Yi also knew that their Tuo family was unable to resist at all. Even if they united Yi Jing Gongsun Zan, who was close to him, would only be defeated in the end.

The only chance is to break out of the current diplomatic dilemma in Jun County and not become a dead soul under the knife, there will be a chance in everything.

Therefore, Que Yi ignored the young man's crazy words and the scolding of his clan brother Que Yan. He focused on the map on his desk.

As a general from Hebei, Que Yi led his army to fight against Ji and Youzhou. He was familiar with the plain mountains and terrain of Hebei, but he was still thinking hard at this moment, looking for the best way for the Tu family to escape unscathed.

It is naturally right to fight back while you have the strength in your hands, but Que Yi is unwilling to fight a cowardly battle with no chance of winning. If you want to fight, you must not only win, but also be able to escape unscathed. If you can't, then it's better to bow your head to Yecheng and surrender.

Perhaps because of his contribution to his past wars, Yuan Shao would spare the Tuo family's remaining old men.

Thinking of this, Tuo Yi, who was focused on the map, suddenly raised his head, his eagle-like gaze was extremely sharp, revealing the sharpness of a knife.
