Chapter 351 Yuan Shao Is Going to Be Sad

Huang Zhong fought a battle with Zhao Yun and Yan Liang, and won a big victory, but his own losses were not small, so he didn't dare to fight again, so he retreated to the border and wandered.

Yan Liang, Wen Chou and Gao Lan arranged at the border to prevent Huang Zhong and the others from entering again.

"Han Sheng, after receiving the news from the lord, they have already started to act, and our task has been completed." Zhao Yun found Huang Zhong who was patrolling and said.

"My lord, what other orders do you have?" Huang Zhong had followed Zhang Yu for so long and knew that Zhang Yu must have other backers.

Zhao Yun nodded and said, "My lord has two proposals. One is that we take a detour to attack Yuan Jun who is fighting Gongsun Zan, provoke a big war between the two sides, and then go meet the lord."

Huang Zhong nodded after listening, and then signaled Zhao Yun to say another plan.

Zhao Yun went on to say: "My lord said in the letter that I don't know our current situation. There is another plan. If conditions permit, my lord will let us go to other counties to attack other counties if conditions permit, disrupt the enemy's arrangement, and plunge Jizhou into chaos." middle."

Zhao Yun went on to say: "My lord finally said in his heart that we should preserve our strength first."

Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun were discussing, and after a while Huang Zhong said: "It is in our best interest to detonate Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao to fight, so that Yuan Shao's large number of troops can be restrained."

After thinking for a while, Zhao Yun said, "Alright, let's attack Yuan Jun, who is confronting Gongsun Zan, and start a war between the two sides."

Together, Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun sent a small team of several hundred people to roam the border, and let them appear from time to time to attract Yan Liang's attention.

And Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong quietly moved with the army, directly entered Youzhou, and then planned to detour to the place where Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan fought.

Not to mention Zhang Yu's side, Yuan Shao in Yecheng received news, and several "good news" kept coming.

Today it is reported how many miles Zhang Yu and the others have been chased, and tomorrow it will be reported that Zhang Yu and the others have been killed hundreds, or one or two thousand people.

The front line will always falsely report military exploits, but Yan Liang and Wen Chou have more B numbers, a few hundred will be reported as more than 1,000, and more than 1,000 will be reported as more than 2,000.

It's not that they are greedy for credit, they are already the top generals under Yuan Shao, there is no need to fight for credit.

It's just that this time they really lost face, so they had to report some military exploits to save face.

Therefore, the good news Yuan Shao received contained some moisture.

This is usually nothing, but at this time, the accumulation of small things has affected Yuan Shao's judgment.

The deviation this time had a great impact on the Yuan Shao Group. First of all, Zhang Yu was not found missing.

Zhang Yu only left 5,000 men, and Yan Liang and the others didn't have a very clear understanding of the number of Zhang Yu's soldiers and horses, they just had a general idea.

When Yuan Shao and the others received the battle report and conducted statistical analysis, they did not find that some troops were missing.

Yuan Shao was very happy when he received good news one after another. Once again, he got the news that more than 2,000 Zhang Yu had been killed, and that Zhang Yu led his men to retreat a hundred miles away. Minister feast.

Even so, he still ordered to go down and entertain the officials and the big families in Jizhou at the State Shepherd's Mansion the next night.

The banquet for his subordinates was naturally to save face, and the banquet for those big aristocratic families was to reassure them, apart from asking them for money and food.

Tell them that you are the master of Jizhou, so that they can feel at ease.

Informing the ministers of a banquet at the State Shepherd's Mansion the next day, Yuan Shao asked people to start preparations early in the morning.

In the evening, many aristocratic families and his subordinates went to the state pastoral mansion to congratulate him with heavy gifts.

On such a festive day, at least what Yuan Shao thought, he even specially put on a new dress.

The banquet started, and Yuan Shao took his seat. There were tables and chairs on both sides of the hall, and Yuan Shao sat alone on top.

"Haha." Seeing this grand occasion, Yuan Shao said very happily: "Today, I invite you to thank you for your efforts in the cause of Jizhou, and at the same time, I want to announce a good news to you."

Of course everyone already knew this "good news", but they all gave Yuan Shao face,

Let Yuan Shao perform.

Yuan Shao first toasted everyone and said: "Our army has reported victories one after another on the front line, and Zhang Yu has been defeated one after another. He will be driven out of Jizhou soon."

Yuan Shao has this confidence, because he used hundreds of thousands of troops to pursue Zhang Yu and the others.

Everyone came up to congratulate him one after another, Yuan Shao was very happy and even drank a few cups.

"Duke Yuan." Zhen Yi stood up and said, "Before Zhongshan Country and Changshan County were invaded by Zhang Yu, we suffered a huge loss. Now that Zhang Yu has retreated, Mr. Yuan should give us some convenience."

"Of course, of course, your loss is also my fault, and I will naturally compensate you."

Yuan Shao promised to give these aristocratic families a lot of convenience, allowing them to use various methods to make money.

They supported Yuan Shao for the sake of benefit, and Yuan Shao's promise not only promoted the children of their family, but also gave them a lot of convenience in other aspects.

In this way, everyone is happy, they continue to support Yuan Shao and form a community of interests.

Everyone was also very happy, toasting to Yuan Shao again and again.

After a while, a soldier suddenly ran in and said with great joy, "My lord, good news from General Yan Liang."

"Haha, come on, come on." Yuan Shao was slightly drunk, stood up and said happily.

Everyone looked at the soldier, expecting some good news from him.

The soldier took the letter to the people around Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao took the letter and slowly opened it, and everyone looked at him.

Opening the letter, both Yuan Shao and Yuan Shao beamed, unable to hide the joy on their faces.

Everyone knew in their hearts that it must be a great joy, maybe Zhang Yu was wiped out.

Yuan Shao waved the letter in his hand and said, "Haha, overjoyed, overjoyed, our army has won a big victory at the front line, a big victory."

"Congratulations, my lord, our army will always be invincible." Guo Tu immediately stood up and said.

The judge also came out in a hurry: "My lord, why don't you read it out to make everyone happy."

Yuan Shao was in a good mood, and he stood on the top and said happily: "I just got the information from General Yan Liang that our army killed more than 8,000 soldiers and horses of Zhang Yu in front, and the rest of the soldiers and horses fled."

"I'm so happy."

"Yeah, finally got rid of this scourge."

"Our family's business in Zhongshan can resume."

"Fortunately, most of my family's property is land, otherwise the loss will be great."

These aristocratic families are also competing to celebrate.

No one asked how much he lost. According to information, Yan Liang also lost more than 15,000 soldiers, but it didn't matter at all to Yuan Shao.

Jizhou has a lot of people, and Yuan Shao doesn't care about the dead.

"Come on, we are so happy, we should have a drink." Yuan Shao said.

Everyone toasted and celebrated, very happy.

The atmosphere at the scene was very good, but a panicked soldier rushed in, ruining the festive and peaceful atmosphere.

"My lord, it's not good, it's not good, Zhang Yu is here."
