Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun returned with a great victory and reported to Huang Zhong. Huang Zhong was convinced, so he returned to Baideng City, and when he arrived in the city, he didn't see Yan Rou, so he grabbed a Youzhou soldier to show the way. Walking all the way, I arrived at a small courtyard, pushed the door in, and saw Yan Rou sitting on a stone bench, with an iron pot next to it, in which the water vapor was boiling, and the meat was fragrant.

Seeing this, Huang Zhong stroked his palms and laughed, and said, "Zihe is good Yaxing!" Pick up a knife to kill the enemy, collect a knife and eat meat, the ancient famous generals are just like this. ”

Yan Rou listened, smiled bitterly, and said: "This enemy general Gao Wei's handwriting, his troops hunted a muntjac deer in the mountains, and they were cleaning up, and when they heard that our army was coming, they came to meet the battle, and before leaving, they confessed to the pro-army, and retreated from our army, so they came to eat this deer." After the two generals entered the city, Huang Zhong led his troops to the mountains to chase Gao Wei, but Yan Rou stayed in the city, inspected for a while, saw that there was smoke rising here, fearing that there would be a fire in the city, so he hurriedly came to inspect, pushed the door and entered, half a figure was not seen, but only the muntjac meat that had not yet been cooked. It turned out that Gao Wei's personal soldiers saw that their own troops were defeated, and they hurriedly retreated to the mountains with Gao Wei. Where would Yan Rou be polite, so he ordered someone to boil water and stew meat here. After experiencing the corpse mountain and the sea of blood, even if this place is a mess, the outside is full of flesh and blood, and the fishy atmosphere is bursting, Yan Rou only takes it as an idle.

When Huang Zhong heard this, he was overwhelmed with emotion and said, "Gao Wei has already given the head, and this muntjac meat has to be cheaper for you and me." After leading the army to fight for a long time and climbing the mountain, Huang Zhong happened to feel a little hungry, so he was not polite, found a stone to climb, and sat down. Wait for the pro-army to take the bowl and divide the meat.

Gao Gan Yu Pingcheng, he had not seen the news of Bai Mountaineering for a long time, and he was uneasy. was pacing back and forth in the mansion, when suddenly the junior colonel came to report and said: "General, the defenders of Baishan Mountain have been defeated, and the enemy army outside the city has picked the head of General Gao, and they are boasting about their weapons under the city!" ”

When Gao Gan heard this, he couldn't help but feel dizzy, and his chest was tight and short of breath, both pity Gao Wei's death and mourn Bai Deng's loss. The small school next to him saw that Gao Gan's pace was unsteady, so he hurriedly supported him. Gao Gan gasped a few times, pushed away the little school, rode out of the house, and galloped to the city. When he arrived at the head of the city, Gao Gan held on to the city wall, poked his head out, and saw a general, white robe and black armor, and a bright red cloak flying up and down with him galloping on horseback. This general held the gun in his right hand and held it diagonally in the air, and above the tip of the gun was Gao Wei's head.

When Gao Gan saw it, he grabbed the city wall with both hands, and after stabilizing his breath, the halberd pointed to the general under the city, and said left and right: "Who is this general?" ”

The deputy general who had been silent next to him said: "General, this person is called Zhao Yun, who was a cavalry general under Gongsun Zhan, and after Gongsun Chan was defeated, he returned to Qingzhou so far." ”

Gao Gan clenched his fists, his eyes were red, he looked at the sturdy figure under the city, and gritted his teeth and said, "Zhao Yun!" A certain vow not to break with it! ”

He woke up violently, turned his head, looked at the deputy general and said, "Huang Zhong came to help?" ”

The adjutant general said: "General, Qingzhou Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun are both here. ”

Gao Gan's heart was shocked, his mind was a little sober, and he thought, Qingzhou has a number of generals, Bai Deng is lost again, Pingcheng is only afraid of not being protected, so it is better to plan early.

Gao Gan was pondering whether to avoid the enemy's front, retreat to Loufu first, and rely on Juzhu Mountain to build the second line of defense. Yuan Shao's army also arrived. When the soldiers arrived at Ban's, he said in frustration: "Lord, there is General Gao in Pingcheng, and there is no worry for the time being, why not make the army surround Gaoliu first and copy Huang Zhong's back road?" ”

As soon as Gao Liu was lost, Huang Zhong and other Qingzhou troops were like fish without water and trees without roots. And Yuan Shao's side, locking the retreat of the Qingzhou army can also form a trend of closing the door and beating the dog.

When Yuan Shao heard this, he smiled and said, "As Qing said." Then he divided his troops to make Chun Yuqiong go to attack Gaoliu, but he led Gao Lan, Lu Kuang and other generals to Pingcheng.

Just as he was about to do it, Tian Feng persuaded: "Gaoliu wants land, and there must be heavy troops in Qingyou Erzhou, and it is not appropriate to divide the troops, it is better to go to Gaoliu together." ”

Chun Yuqiong next to him listened to it and was very dissatisfied, Huang Zhong and Yan Rou both went to Weiping City to go to Gaogan, how many people can Gao Liu keep? If the lord also goes with him, how can he show that he is capable? This Takayanagi City was captured, whose credit is it? Before Yuan Shao could speak, he spoke out first and shouted: "General, a certain military order can be made, and Gao Liu and Song Kai will be returned!" ”

Yuan Shao listened to Tian Feng's words, and was hesitating, and he heard Chun Yuqiong's words. Chun Yuqiong is a general under his command, and he has made many meritorious deeds, and now it is the time for the generals to contribute, but it is not good to break his sharpness. So he left the table, touched his back, and said, "In this way, I can wait for the king's good news in the camp." ”

Chun Yuqiong listened and left full of ambition. When Tian Feng saw it, he could only sigh secretly in his heart.

Yuan Shao led the army to Pingcheng and sent people to report to the high cadres. When Gao Gan heard this, he was overjoyed, so he came to meet him, welcomed him to the city, and told him about everything. Yuan Shao couldn't help but be shocked when he heard that Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun from Qingzhou were coming, and Bai Deng was lost. Hurriedly summoned Fu Zhu and Tian Feng, and said: "Gong He, Yuan Hao, the big thing is not good, my soldiers are here, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun are also here." ”

Frustrated Zhu took a look at the map, frowned, and said: "We are here to seek Huang Zhong, and Qingzhou is also seeking to merge with the state." Then he secretly sent Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun here. A good Liu Bei, outside Yijing City, I am afraid that the camp is empty. If the general does not come, General Gao will definitely be defeated. "The consequences of Gao Gan's failure, I didn't say it, but Yuan Shao could imagine it.

If there is a riot in Jizhou, the impact on Jizhou will inevitably be huge. If the Qingzhou army occupies the Taihang Passes, send troops from the mountains, and Liu Bei in the east is one west and one east, and the two roads will attack Jizhou, and their foundation will be shaken. Liu Bei got the Son of Heaven in Chang'an, and when the army came to attack, the state was afraid that the people would immediately panic and look at the wind.

No way! Liu Bei can't be allowed to succeed, and the state must be defended. Fortunately, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun arrived with their front feet, and their back feet also followed. Although he lost a white den, Heijo is still there. It's a blessing.

Liu Bei received Cui Yan's flying report, and he was overjoyed to read it, with Zhang Yan's new force, as long as his side was launched, he was afraid of Ji and turmoil. It's winter, and it's been almost a year of fighting, and Liu Bei is also tired, so let's compete with Yuan Shao in Pingcheng.

When Qingzhou joined forces with Youzhou and fought endlessly with Yuan Shao, Cao Cao of Yanzhou also convened the generals to discuss the future of his group.

Some people said that they wanted to join forces with Yuan Shao to attack Liu Bei together, but some people spoke out against it, and there were different opinions. Cao Cao stood in front of the huge map hanging on the wall and was silent for a long time.

Chen Gong still agreed to join forces with Yuan Shao: "Ji and Yan are each other's lips and teeth, if Yuan Gong's army is defeated, Liu Bei will be based on Ji and merge, how can Yanzhou survive?" It is better to send troops to help Yuan Gong, repel Liu Bei, and then unite the troops to attack Qingzhou. ”

Yanzhou and Jizhou are indeed linked by fate, if Yuan Shao didn't want to plot against Youzhou, but focused on Yanzhou, I was afraid that Yanzhou would have been captured long ago.

After all, back then, he had offered advice to Yuan Shao, asking him to march to Liyang, gradually camp Henan, and then dispatch elite cavalry to copy his borders, so that he was not at ease, and I took it. With this Wan'an policy, we will fight steadily and gradually encroach on Yanzhou. It's a pity that Yuan Shao's head went into the water and he didn't listen, so that Guandu was defeated and collapsed from then on.

Chen Gong's words were approved by some generals, Jizhou and Yanzhou, the territory is connected, and there is no danger to defend, it is okay in the hands of Yuan Shao, if it falls into the hands of Liu Bei, Ji, Qing, and Xu will surround Yanzhou on three sides, and then they are only afraid that they will not be able to sleep well, it is better to join forces with Yuan Shao, combine the strength of the two families, attack Liu Bei, and divide his land after victory. If you don't win, then you will talk about it then, and the situation will not be worse than it is now.

It's just that it's too late to send troops now? Everyone turned their attention to Cao Cao.
