Jia Xu could get up and chase Nanpi City after receiving the order from Liu Bei. At the same time, he secretly scolded Han Fei for being troublesome. If he hadn't recommended him to Liu Bei, he could have had a leisurely tea in Changyi City at this moment!

No matter how much he scolded, he still had to do what he should do. The first thing Jia Xu did when he arrived in Nanpi City was to spread all the shadows he brought. In addition, he wanted to make Yuan Shao's movements unable to escape his eyes. After doing this, he went to visit Xin Ping. Xin Ping learned that Jia Xu was sent by Liu Bei to deal with Yuan Shao, which made him very happy. He immediately hosted a banquet to entertain Jia Xu.

The banquet ended until late at night. Jia Xu returned to his residence without rest, but began to write to Xu Rong in Pingyuan City. As a person who came from Dong Zhuo's army, the relationship between the two has always been good. Jia Xu told Xu Rong about his arrival in Nanpi, and asked him to closely monitor the situation around the plains. Nothing wrong happened immediately.

In the following days, Jia Xu did not receive any special news. Until five days later, Gao Lan returned from Youzhou to Nanpi City. However, he returned very low-key, and the injuries on his body were not yet recovered, so he returned to his home as soon as he arrived in Nanpi City.

Jia Xu, Xin Ping and others have visited him. Because there was no military service at this time, Gao Lan still focused on cultivation. Gao Lan's return made Jia Xu feel a little relieved.

Two days later, a small incident attracted Jia Xu's attention. Food and grass were being prepared around Yecheng. As the saying goes, the two armies fought with food and grass first! It seems that Yuan Shao is really going to take action!

As expected, two days later, Jia Xu received the news from the shadows, and Yuan Shao found an excuse to raise an army to conquer the Xin family! Jia Xu smiled and said, "It's true that the face of the aristocratic family, just as Zicong said: Be a archway when the biaozi is still erected! But that's good, give me a few more days to prepare! Then I'll see how you, Yuan Shao, ended!"

As soon as Yuan Shao’s list of articles came out, Tianyan Liang and Wen Chou led a 30,000 army to Nanpi City. This time, they did not attack the plains first, but instead detoured Bohai County and then attacked Nanpi City, completely posing as if they only destroyed the Xin family.

Just after Yuan Shao's army set out to leave Yecheng, Jia Xu finally took action. He sent the newly established Dark Sword Division to kill all five merchants in Wang's family! The victim is gone, it depends on what Yuan Shao has to say. Of course, this is just the first step, and the second step is Jia Xu's idea of ​​food and grass. Without the victim, he only lacks righteousness, but without the food and grass army, he will defeat himself!

That night, outside the wall of the Wang family in Yecheng, two men in black looked at each other and jumped onto the wall. Ding Buwang, a member of the Wang family, also had two sons and an eldest daughter-in-law, in addition to the merchant surnamed Wang. These two men in black were from the Dark Sword Division. After Shi A's training these few days, they have mastered some killing skills. They are no longer the kind of brave soldiers who only know how to fight in real face!

The two jumped into the yard, one of them went straight to the back room, where there was a merchant named Wang and his wife living there. The other turned around to kill the merchant's son and daughter-in-law. After about a cup of tea, the two met again. At this time, the five members of the family were all the dead under their swords. The two nodded to each other, and then ran away in two directions. The fire was already burning behind them.

Yuan Shao was furious after knowing that the merchant family had died tragically and ordered Xu You to find out the murderer. Originally, Guo Tu was responsible for surveillance, but Xu You was replaced because Guo Tu wanted to go to war with the army. However, he didn't expect that just a few days after Guo Tu left, the family of five died in a bad life.

Xu You was purely suffering from a disaster. He was very annoyed, but the mute had to take the loss by himself! So he arranged for people to investigate the city, but he got nothing at all. The two killers had already gone far away!

Jia Xu got new information and knew that the first step had been achieved! The second step was about to begin to be implemented.

Guan Hai, the former Qingzhou Yellow Turban Que, returned to his old career. Jia Xu arranged for his trip to contact Zhang Yan, Heishan, and was preparing to take over the Black Mountain bandits' hands and deal a heavy blow to Yuan Shao!

Zhang Yan, a native of Zhending, Heishan, was originally from Zhending, Changshan. When the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, Chu Yan gathered a group of young men as robbers and fought in the mountains and rivers. When he returned to Zhending, his troops had reached more than 10,000. In the second year of Zhongping, Zhang Niujiao, a native of Boling, also gathered a group of people, claiming to be a general, and joining forces with Chu Yan. Chu Yan recommended Zhang Niujiao as the leader and advanced to attack Yingtao. Zhang Niujiao was shot by a flowing arrow and was seriously injured. Before his death, he ordered his subordinates to respect Chu Yan as the leader. After Zhang Niujiao's death, everyone supported Chu Yan as the leader, so Chu Yan changed his surname to Zhang and called him Zhang Yan.

Later, because Zhang Yan was as light as Yan and brave as a war, he was called "Flying Yan" in the army. Later, Zhang Yan's troops continued to grow and contacted rebels in Changshan, Zhaojun, Zhongshan, Shangdang, Hanoi and other places. The small leaders of the rebels, Sun Qing, Wang Dang and others, all brought their subordinates to Zhang Yan's command. Zhang Yan's troops grew to nearly one million people, known as the "Mercenary Army".

Yuan Shao's rapid expansion caused Zhang Yan to be seriously threatened. In addition, Yuan Shao himself was a representative of the aristocratic family and looked down on the Black Mountain bandits at all, which made Zhang Yan secretly annoyed! Therefore, Guan Hai's personal visit made Zhang Yan very happy. In addition, Jia Xu promised that all the seized Liu Bei's army would not be accepted, and all of them belonged to the Black Mountain Army. This made Zhang Yan even more determined to do this!

So under Nanpi City, Yan Liang and Wen Chou were preparing to attack the city in large numbers! As a result, their backyard caught fire, and the army's food and grass were robbed by the Heishan Army. Not only were the food and grass lost, but also a lot of weapons were robbed. Yan Liang was furious and immediately Ming Wen Chou led an army of 10,000 to meet the enemy, intending to rob the robbed food and grass. At the same time, Yan Liang temporarily requisitioned the existing food from Bohai County to maintain the daily consumption of the army.

Guo Tu always felt that the Black Mountain Army had a coincidence, and there must be a fraud! But he was still only suspicious and there was no substantial evidence. At this moment, news came that Wen Chou was defeated by Xu Rong and the Black Mountain Army, and he was seriously injured and was on the verge of death.

At this time, Guo Tu suddenly realized that there must be an expert on Liu Bei's side who was secretly manipulating everything. At that moment, he urged Yan Liang to return to Bohai County, and at the same time sent a letter to Yuan Shao for help!

Yuan Shao had already learned that the Heishan Army went down the mountain not only robbed the army's food and grass, but also worked with Liu Bei's army to defeat Wen Chou, causing him to seriously injured! Yuan Shao immediately wanted to fight the army to the death with the Heishan Army. Xun Chen came forward to stop Yuan Shao. He said, "The lord is currently surrounded by strong enemies. Liu Bei and Cao Cao are both outstanding people in the world. It is not wise to fight hard with the Heishan Army. It is better to allow him to be invited!"
