Jizhou has fertile land, abundant products, and dense population, and this kind of blessed land will be coveted by anyone who has ambitions to win the world. Liu Bei is now growing in his wings and his strength has soared, how can he be unintentional about Jizhou? Moreover, Xuzhou is in hand, and the beautiful south is already in sight, if the north is not unified as soon as possible, how can it raise troops to the south.

Fighting Jizhou from Qingzhou is really easy to fight. In terms of geographical environment, the large area bordering Qingzhou and Jizhou belongs to the plain area. There are no lofty mountains and mountains, and there are no dangerous cities. Liu Bei had asked Huang Zhong and Yan Yan to raise troops to attack Qinghe, and he led Zhang Fei and Tai Shici to attack Xiuxian in Anping State.

After the two armies entered the territory of Jizhou, they swept all the way. Yuan Shao's generals Jiao Touch, Zhang Nan, Jiang Qi and others could not resist, and they were defeated even in battle, so Jiao Touch and Zhang Nan retreated all the way to Jieqiao, but Jiang Qi led his troops to Hejian Kingdom.

Yecheng is where Yuan Shao's lair is, and he regards it as a fundamental business for many years, and the geographical environment of Yecheng is indeed good, so after Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao, he simply moved over by himself. This time, there was a Koji incident in Yecheng, which frightened Yuan Shao. Although the war was imminent at this time, he always felt uneasy, so he delayed going to the front line. It wasn't until the news of the defeat of the generals in front of him came one by one that he led his troops to the boundary bridge. Then he stayed with Yuan Tan to sit in Yecheng.

Judging the word Zhengnan, a native of Yin'an, Wei County, Yuan Shao's heart minister, at this time, for the rule of the don't drive, the trial can be civil and martial, although not known for his bravery, but in fact he is a Confucian general who can lead troops to fight. Keeping him in Yecheng, Yuan Shao can rest assured.

Liu Bei stirred up trouble in his own territory, but Yuan Shao did not plan to divide his troops to deal with Liu Bei. Regardless of which faction the ministers of the shogunate recounted to him the fact that compared with Liu Bei, although Jizhou was not short of soldiers and materials, there was too much difference in terms of generals. Look at Jizhou, Chun Yu is a rebel to death, the famous generals are only four court pillars, and others such as Jiang Qi also boast of bravery, but compared to Yan Liang and others, there is too much difference.

Looking at Qingzhou again, Guan Yu has been in the south, so I won't talk about it. Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, Tai Shici, Yan Yan, etc., which were originally there, and now they have joined a large number of people such as Lu Bu, Zhang Xiu, and Zhang Liao. Not to mention anything else, which of these people is not the choice of a general who can lead an army alone?

Originally, Jizhou's side was weak, and if one more troops were divided, it would be over.

For good opinions, Yuan Shao can still listen to them. So he led his subordinates to raise 100,000 troops and soldiers to the border bridge. Liu Bei, don't you want to take away my inheritance, then it's better to fight it off at the boundary bridge.

The boundary bridge, the place of the key to and from Wei County. At that time, Koji Yi fought a beautiful battle of infantry and cavalry here, which caused Gongsun Zhan's white horse righteous people to suffer heavy casualties, so they had to retreat and suffered a great setback. After Yuan Shao won this battle, he completely changed his passive situation, although Gongsun Chan did not seem to be injured on the surface, but in fact, just after this battle, the two sides have been transposed.

If Liu Bei wants to completely defeat Yuan Shao, the boundary bridge is his battleground. It is also based on this that when Yuan Shao arrived at the boundary bridge, he ordered his generals to set up a strong camp here and reserve grain and grass for Liu Bei's army. Yuan Shao's only advantage was to fight locally, while Liu Bei had difficulty in supplying due to the long distance of the grain route. Whether you can make full use of this advantage depends on Yuan Shao's ability.

Liu Bei was attacking Anping Kingdom, and when he heard that Yuan Shaobing was on the boundary bridge, he laughed and said: "I thought that Yuan Ben originally wanted to sit back and watch our army sweep Jizhou and ignore it, but this time he was willing to go out of Yecheng." ”

So he turned his head, raised his troops to the south, and joined Huang Zhong and Yan Yanbing to go to the boundary bridge. As soon as Liu Bei left, the local officials of Anping State suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and they were hesitating with the idea of surrendering or not surrendering. In these years, not everyone can be like Lu Bu, who has done things without psychological pressure. What's even more embarrassing is that they have already done a subjugation before.

In that year, Gongsun Zhannan begged Yuan Shao and issued a document counting Yuan Shao's ten major crimes. cough cough, now Liu Bei released the text before the war, and many of the contents are quoting the bridges used by Gongsun Zan back then...... Gongsun Zhan also directly handed this document to the Chang'an Imperial Court thousands of miles away, which greatly promoted Yuan Shao's "name" again. At that time, I don't know who caught the knife for Gongsun Zhan, and the shock to the world and Jizhou was still very huge. As soon as the text came out, countless officials in Jizhou surrendered. I don't know if they really have justice in their hearts, or if they saw that the situation was not good, they were forced by the military pressure of Gongsun Zhan's soldiers in the city.

As a result, not long after they chose to take sides, Gongsun Chan was defeated by Yuan Shao, and later, Gongsun Chan was destroyed by Yuan Shao. This plot is reversed, so that they are really speechless. What else could he do when Gongsun Chan died, so he had to write to Yuan Shao to show his loyalty and ask for forgiveness. can be an official, and there is no ordinary background. Yuan Shao caught a few guys who he didn't like, had a weak family, and had a bad reputation, and after killing the chicken and making an example of the monkey, he also gave himself a bad breath by the way, and then he didn't pursue it anymore. Continue to let them stay in their original positions and serve themselves.

Now there is no Gongsun Zhan, but there is another Liu Bei. To say that Liu Bei's reputation is greater than that of Gongsun Zhan, and his strength is stronger than Gongsun Zhan. Originally, as soon as Liu Bei's article came out, some people in Jizhou were ready to move, planning to secretly surrender. But some people began to worry, this impermanence of the army, the matter of the war, who can say clearly, Gongsun Chan was so powerful back then, didn't he be destroyed in a short period of time. It's easy to vote now, but if Liu Bei is defeated, if we want to vote again, it will be difficult. I'm afraid that General Yuan, who will be holding the power of a great victory, will not be so easy to speak. It's hard to have a lot of heads moving.

Someone else said that he Yuan Shao wants to govern Jizhou, can he still be without our help? Even if Liu Bei is defeated, it is nothing more than letting him kill a few people to relieve his anger, and he will be like it in the future, everything will be as usual!

The person who said this was scolded for being bloody, can the impact of defeating Gongsun Chan and defeating Liu Bei be the same? Even if General Yuan only kills a few people to relieve his anger, whose head should be cut off and whose head should not be cut off?

No one wants to gamble their heads on the future. Anyway, no matter who wins or loses, who is the master of this land, neither Yuan nor Liu can get around them. Since there are officials doing it both horizontally and vertically, why take risks? This is the voice of most officials in the land of Jizhou.

Liu Bei didn't know that these local officials had such a small calculation in their hearts. He was still laughing and joking with Xun You: "In the past, Brother Bo Jue brought troops to the south, Hebei shook, and the local guards heard the wind and surrendered. I also come now, but I have not seen the story of Brother Bo Jue back then. It seems that in the hearts of the people of Jizhou, I am far inferior to Brother Boju. ”

When Xun You heard it, he didn't know how to answer. When Gongsun Chan fought Yuan Benchu, he was still messing around in the camp of Yufuluo. Where to know what happened at that time.
