After Yuan Shao heard about Gongsun Zhan's self-immolation, he immediately gave the order to die.

He asked the soldiers to rush in immediately to extinguish the flames and capture Gongsun Chan alive, and those who made meritorious deeds would be rewarded.

For the sake of merit, the soldiers carried buckets with red eyes and poured water into them, and many people wore wet cloth towels and rushed into the flames.

The flames were eventually extinguished, but on the top floor of the castle, the bodies of Gongsun Chan, his family, and dozens of guards were found.

In the end, in order to compete for Gongsun Zhan's head, dozens of soldiers who rushed to the top floor first actually killed each other, and the killing was extremely tragic, dozens of people were killed in an instant, and many corpses were added to the entire fortress.

And one of Gongsun Zhan's heads was constantly teleported in the hands of countless people.

In this process, people were constantly killed by their comrades-in-arms just now, and they were fighting back-to-back just now, but suddenly they drew their swords against each other, and began to kill each other with red eyes and old feelings.

After the extermination of Gongsun Zhan, the civil war began again.

In the end, Lu Yi's subordinates had strong combat effectiveness, and snatched the head of Gongsun Chan for Lu Yi, stepping on the corpses of countless fellow soldiers, Lu Yi was very proud to dedicate Gongsun Zhan's head to Yuan Shao, full of self-satisfaction.

Yuan Shao was overjoyed, looked at Gongsun Zhan's head, and scolded angrily, "Dog slave! Can you continue to do evil?'

Then, Yuan Shao ordered to reward Lu Yi again, and sent Gongsun Zhan's head to the Chang'an court to show his merits.

He heard that the imperial court named Yuan Shu as General Wei and Guo Peng as the general of Zhendong, but he didn't get the real general of the chariot and cavalry, and only got the title of a miscellaneous general, which made Yuan Shao quite dissatisfied, but it was not easy to say anything.

This time, with Gongsun Zhan's head as confidence, Li Dao should give something, right?

Gongsun Chan was also a fierce general who followed Guo Peng to defeat Dong Zhuo at that time, and Li Dao should hate Gongsun Chan very much.

Still afraid of not getting a good position?

Anyway, Yuan Shao is very happy and excited now.

He's finally eliminated the opponent who gave him a lot of headaches!

This day is the 12th day of June in the fourth year of Chuping.

After eliminating Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Shao immediately had a friendly and profound exchange with the leaders of the Youzhou United Army, and put forward the idea of Xian Yufu, the greatest contributor, to serve as the assassin of Youzhou.

Xian Yufu and the others naturally knew Yuan Shao's thoughts on Youzhou, and put forward this idea in order to occupy Youzhou and rule Youzhou.

Youzhou is now leaderless, it is the time when a leader is needed, Yuan Shao IV and the Third Duke is a good signboard, as long as he can take care of everyone's interests and let Yuan Shao be the lord of Youzhou, there is nothing bad.

It's better than Gongsun Zan to be the main one in Youzhou.

At this time, Gongsun Zhan's son Gongsun Xu rushed to support Gongsun Chan with the army of Zhang Yan of the Black Mountain Yellow Turban Army, but he was saddened to find that Gongsun Chan had fallen.

Gongsun Xu was greatly saddened, and despite Zhang Yan's obstruction, he led his subordinates to attack Yuan Shao, wanting to avenge his father and family, but was ordered by Lu Yi to shoot a strong crossbow into a sieve and died on the spot.

Zhang Yan led the army to fight, failed to rescue Gongsun Xu, in order to survive, had to retreat, and was chased by Lu Yi for a long distance, losing more than 2,000 soldiers, and finally fled back to the mountains.

Zhang Yan and Yuan Shao's enmity is considered a mortal enemy, and Zhang Yan swears viciously that he will make Yuan Shao pay the price.

Yuan Shao completely destroyed Gongsun Zhan's forces, and also defeated Zhang Yan, and was complacent and was welcomed by Xian Yufu, Xian Yuyin and others to Jixian County, the governing place of Youzhou, to "discuss the plan".

Unbeknownst to him, Guo Peng had already led a powerful army to pounce on him.

And it's overwhelming.

On June 16, after Guo Peng entered Jizhou, he ordered Zhao Yun to lead 3,000 light cavalry to raid Liyang County.

Liyang County was defenseless, and was shot down by Zhao Yun, killing the recalcitrant Liyang County Commander and occupying Liyang County, and then Zhao Yun led his troops north to meet Guo Peng's main force.

On June 18, Guo Peng led 30,000 main forces to Fanyang County and officially began to attack Yan Liang and Gao Lan, the defenders of the Yuan clan in Fanyang County.

Guo Peng's military operation was divided into three routes.

The Western Route Army was led by Captain Le Jin as the main general, and Han Hao joined the army as the marching Sima, commanding 10,000 soldiers and horses to take Hanoi directly, exterminate Zhang Yang's department, and occupy Hanoi.

The Eastern Route Army took Cao Hong, the garrison of the Plains State, as the main general, and Chen Gong, as the military aircraft of the marching Sima Counselor, led 10,000 soldiers and horses to attack Bohai County and Qinghe State, occupying these two counties.

The middle route army was personally led by Guo Peng, with an elite main force of 30,000, with Xi Zhong and Guo Jia as the marching horses, and directly took the garrison of Yuan Shao in Fanyang County, and after defeating them, they went north to attack Yecheng.

Yuan Shao's main force stayed in the north of Jizhou, and the rest of the army was mainly stationed in Fanyang County and Yecheng, and there were basically no garrisons in various places, all of which were the private domain of the major manor owners.

Although these manor owners have the same power, they can't coordinate with each other, can't twist into a rope, and in front of the professional army, they are like mantis arms as a car.

Before the war, Guo Peng gave certain indicators to the generals in various places, asking them to pay attention to using as much as possible the indicators of destroying the manor and eliminating the lord of the manor, so as to lay the foundation for him to strengthen local control.

Although he is also going to fight Jizhou, if he can't destroy some of the original manor owners in Jizhou, what is the difference between him and Yuan Shao?

He didn't want to be full of people who surrendered without a fight when he attacked Jizhou, he hoped that Yuan Shao's "lenient and generous" policy of governing Jizhou could give him a little more "people's heart", so that the "people" of Jizhou would die for him a lot, and it was best to reach the point of Qingzhou.

Give Guo someone to intervene and come in to make a little space.

Otherwise, Guo would be really annoyed and annoyed.

Guo really hates the wind and falls, and he hopes that there will be more people who are willing to resist.

If you resist me desperately, I will have a reason and excuse to destroy your manor, if you don't resist me, how can I kill you justifiably and justifiably?

When the time comes, this land will still belong to you, and I will be embarrassed to rob it openly.

I have to calculate all kinds of intrigues and tricks, which is very tiring.

Yuan Benchu, at this time, it's time for your personality charm to play a role, help me, please, let Jizhou have more loyal ministers.

Guo's face was full of evil smiles.

Regarding Guo Peng's sudden invasion to the north, Yan Liang and Gao Ran did not find out until Guo Peng hit him, and they also learned about it a little in advance.

Originally, they wouldn't have learned about it so late.

However, Guo Peng's counter-investigation work was too good, and Yuan Shao sent spies south to Yanzhou several times to try to spy on Guo Peng's military operations, but the people sent out never returned.

Go to one to die, one to die, two to die, and they can't get effective intelligence at all.

Yuan Shao had no choice but to disperse the spies to the border of Yanzhou in stages, a little closer to Puyang, to see the movement in the Puyang area, and then go deep into the south of Puyang, which would be a dead place.

Yan Liang and Gao Ran also sent sentinels into Yanzhou several times to spy on the news to prevent Guo Peng from launching a surprise attack, but they also had little success and could not get any effective information at all.

Their intelligence gathering is grossly inadequate.
