Luo Gan returned to Linzi City, and on the one hand, he asked the generals to prepare their armies for war and prepare grain and grass, and on the other hand, he asked the county guards and county commanders to govern the people well, develop tuntian, and appease and exile the people.

Fortunately, there are Chen Qun, Zhong Xuan, Fan Zhongyan, Wen Yanbo and other masters, assistants, as well as many other Taishou assistants such as Zhang Ji, Wang Xiu, Wang Lie, etc., everything is on the right track and developing on the good side.

Of course, there are some minor problems, but they do not affect the overall situation.

At the same time, they mobilized a large army, stationed in Jibei Kingdom in Yanzhou and Pingyuan County in Qingzhou, guarding various passes and various ferries on the Yellow River to prevent Yuan Shao's army from moving south.

Yuan Shao divided a partial division and tentatively launched an attack on Qingzhou, but was repelled by Xu Huang and did not cause a full-scale war.

This also gave Luo Gan a chance to prepare, after all, he eliminated Lu Bu and Yuan Shu in a row, spending a lot of money, food, and troops, and always needed to rest and recuperate.

At this time, the major princes of the country were not stable, and many of them were also fighting.

Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu were fighting, Liu Biao and Zhang Xiu were fighting Cao Cao, Cao Cao was dealing with Zhang Xiu on the one hand, and he was also attacking Luoyang and Chang'an on the other.

Because in the Liangzhou warlord group, with the death of Dong Zhuo, no prince can control the entire Liangzhou group, the major Liangzhou warlords fight each other, the people are not happy, and the strength is also weakened and reduced by internal friction.

On the contrary, after Cao Cao took control of the Son of Heaven and moved the capital to Xu County, the development momentum was very good, which was somewhat similar to Luo Gan, and the difference was the time for development. Therefore, Cao Cao adopted a combination of suppression and appeasement, and wanted to annex Yongzhou and Sili in the name of the imperial court.

In the southernmost Jiaozhou, the war was also raging, and Fang La established the Ming religion in Jiaozhou, preaching that the sky was dead, the world was in chaos, and a saint came to the world to lead the people to establish a bright country. Immediately, Fang La was in Jiaozhou and attacked the county.

Fang La's subordinates had many fierce generals such as Fang Yuan, Fang Tianding, Fang Maung, Fang Jinzhi, Fang Jie, and many other fierce generals and the old forces of Jiaozhou, Shixie, after several battles, Fang La won a big victory.

Although this Shixie came early, but that Fang La is good at demagoguery, many of those people in Shanyue followed Fang La to rebel, Jiaozhou seven counties ****, Cangwu, Yulin, Hepu four counties are in the hands of Fang La, and the remaining Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen, and Rinan three counties are still in the hands of the Shixie family.

Among the talents who fled from the Central Plains to Jiaozhou, Liu Xi, Xue Cong, Cheng Bing, Xu Ci, Liu Ba, Xu Jing, Huan Ye, Yuan Hui, Mu Zi, Kang Seng Hui and others took refuge in Fang La, who claimed to be the Holy Father, Jiaozhou Mu, and ruled the Jiaozhou region.

Due to Zu Lang and other powerful people instigating Shanyue to plunder the county, Sun Ce had already led the army back to suppress it, but he still let Zhou Yu lead the naval army to control the lower reaches of the Yangtze River to prevent Luo Gan from going south, and he was also training troops.

Sun Ce's goal is to attack Jingzhou along the river after suppressing Shanyue, and Jingzhou has a grudge against Sun Ce. Sun Jian was in an ambush when he attacked Huang Zu and was shot to death.

Sun Ce naturally wanted revenge, and at the same time, he also wanted to annex Jingzhou and expand his power. Of course, it is also very likely that Luogan territory will be attacked to the north such as Lujiang County, Jiujiang County, and Guangling County.

Tian Hu's strength in Bingzhou is also increasing.

……

After the tentative attack, Yuan Shao did not continue to launch a large-scale attack on Luo Gan, but personally led a large army to attack Gongsun Zhan.

Gongsun Chan was already in decline, and the siege of Yuan Shao, He Xian Yufu and others divided the land of Youzhou, and Gongsun Chan had to be stationed and replaced.

Speaking of this Yijing, it should not be underestimated, Yidi is adjacent to Yishui in the south, Gongsun Zan ordered the soldiers to dig a trench ten ways around, and the hills were piled up five or six zhang high, and there were garrisons on them. The central hill is ten feet high, and buildings are built on it. Gongsun Zhan himself lived in the middle, built an iron gate defense, and claimed to have 3 million grains and grass in the city.

This Yi Jing is almost the strongest fortress in the world, it is more tortoise shell than a tortoise shell, and the defense is very strong, Yuan Shao attacked several times without success.

Moreover, Gongsun Zhan also sent troops to contact Zhang Yan of the Black Mountain Army in Taihang Mountain, and Hebei Tianhu, Wang Qing, Ye Luhui and other forces came to the rescue.

Yuan Shao's army besieged Yijing and could not attack it for a long time, so he was so anxious that he gathered his advisers and asked for a strategy to break the enemy.

In the face of Gongsun Zhan's turtle shell defense, these strategists were also a little anxious, looking at each other, and there was no good way.

"Princes, princesses, why teach me? If I don't take this opportunity to take down Gongsun Zhan, the Black Mountain Thief, and the Tian Tiger Thief may lead troops to rescue, and if it drags on for a long time, how can I go south to pacify the world! Yuan Shao was very anxious, and he looked a little angry.

"This ......"

"I think ......"

Wow~

Hurried footsteps sounded, and a scribe with a goatee and triangular eyes, with a happy face, ran in with a brocade silk in his hand.

Yuan Shao saw that it was Xu You, okay, you said this meeting, why are you always late, where are you going.

Yuan Shao said in a cold voice: "Oh, our Xu Dajun is coming, he must have a clever plan, come and listen to the princes." ”

Xu You was very excited, and did not hear the dissatisfaction in Yuan Shao's tone, but said with a hint of pride in surprise: "The lord is wise, and he is not a prophet." But there is a way to break the enemy. ”

Yuan Shao was stunned for a moment, there was really something, and then he urged excitedly: "Hurry, hurry up and come soon." ”

Xu You glanced around at everyone, and waved the brocade silk in his hand triumphantly and said: "My lord, Gongsun Chan wants to contact Gongsun Zhan to join forces with the outside and attack our army, and the letter of this contact has been solved by me." The lord can plan and set up an ambush army to annihilate Gongsun Chan in one fell swoop. ”

Yuan Shao rushed up and took the intercepted letter from Xu You, on which was the agreement between Gongsun and Gongsun Xu.

Gongsun Xu is the son of Gongsun Zhan, who fought out of the siege of Yuan Shao before, and went to recruit troops and horses with 5,000 cavalry, and his combat effectiveness is still there.

"Okay, good, Yan Liang and Yan Shude listen to the order, you two lead 50,000 troops and set up an ambush outside the city, and raise fire at the beginning of the day after tomorrow. Wait for Gongsun Zan to go out of the city and ambush him! Yuan Shao nodded at Yan Liang and Yan Shude, two members of his command.

"No!"

Yan Liang and Yan Shude were ordered to go to Qi soldiers and horses and set up an ambush.

As soon as the day after tomorrow arrived, Gongsun Chan personally put on armor and held a gun, leading the 30,000 troops in the city to prepare for battle.

When the appointed time came, torches were raised outside the city and shook as agreed.

"Haha, my son is here, the soldiers listen to the order, kill with me!" Gongsun Chan said loudly.

"Good!"

"Lord, it's better to let Yun take the lead in rushing and killing, it's safer for the lord to stay in the city." Zhao Yun on the side persuaded.

"Hmph, do you think I'm old? I am the general of the white horse, and I am the mighty Youzhou! Yuan Shao deceived people too much, and today I will personally kill him. Needless to say, the soldiers obey the order and kill with me! Gongsun Zhan glared at Zhao Yun very unhappily, whipped his horsewhip, and led the troops to kill Yuan Shao's camp.
