Zhang Yan led the army, all the way to the south, retreated, because he took the people in Zhuxu City, so he walked very slowly, and it took two days to reach Weishui.

Yuan Jun's scouts continued to deliver the latest news to Yuan Tan for two consecutive days, and when Yuan Tan learned that Zhang Yan had really withdrawn his troops and had arrived in Weishui, he was relieved.

As a result, there was no barrier in Qingzhou, and Yuan Tan was also very happy, and began to assign generals to garrison in various counties.

Yuan Tan appointed Zhang Nan as Donglai Taishou, Jiang Qi as Le'an State Minister, Chun Yuqiong as Jinan State Minister, Jiao Touch as Beihai State Minister, Han Meng as Pingyuan Taishou, and Guo Tu as Qi State Minister.

As for Yan Liang and Zhang He, they were repatriated to Jizhou by Yuan Tan, after all, his father Yuan Shao still needed fierce generals like Yan Liang and Zhang He.

And he himself took over the Qingzhou Thorn History, and returned to Linzi, the capital of Qi State, with Guo Tu to garrison.

At the beginning, Yuan Tan and Guo Tuqin led 10,000 troops to Linzi to garrison outside, and the garrison in the remaining five places was only 2,500 people.

The army parted in Zhuxucheng, Yan Liang and Zhang He said goodbye to Yuan Tan, and the two went together and went to Jizhou. Han Meng, Chun Yuqiong, Jiang Qi, Zhang Nan, and Jiao Touch led 2,500 people to separate from Yuan Tan.

The scouts of Xuzhou had been silently watching the movements of Yuan's army in the dark, and when they saw that Yuan's army had been divided into six, they immediately reported the news to Zhang Yan, who was stationed on the Weishui River.

Zhang Yan heard the news, smiled, on the one hand, he asked Kong Rong, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei to lead the people of Zhuxucheng to return to Zhuxucheng, on the other hand, he sent people to Xuzhou to mobilize troops, and ordered Taishan Taishou Zangba to lead the army to attack Jinan, Le'an, and Pingyuan, and after eliminating Han Meng, Chun Yuqiong, and Jiang Qi, he attacked Linzi to the east, and attacked Linzi with him.

The plan was decided, and Zhang Yan led Zhang Hong, Tai Shici, Xu Chu, Xu Sheng, Niu Jin and others back to Beihai to prepare for each defeat.

That night, Zhang Yan took all the cavalry, marched lightly, left all the armor to Xu Sheng, Niu Jin and others to escort, and went to Zhuxu City.

According to the scout's report, after the Yuan army separated, Zhang Nan and Jiao Touch's two troops did not leave, but were temporarily stationed in Zhuxu City.

Since there were no enemy troops around, Zhang Nan and Jiao Touch also relaxed their vigilance, the two were originally old friends, and now that Yuan Tan and the others have left, they have no scruples, so they naturally want to drink and talk together and practice for tomorrow's separation.

Both armies were drunk, and almost all of them fell asleep.

When Zhang Yan led Tai Shici, Xu Chu and other cavalry to Zhuxu City, before they got close, they asked about the smell of wine. They saw that the Yuan army was defenseless, so they killed a few Yuan troops who were keeping vigil, and then climbed over the city wall, secretly opened the city gate, Tai Shici and Xu Chu took the lead, took the lead, and rushed to the city, Zhang Yan commanded the cavalry to follow, and killed into Zhuxu City with lightning speed.

The Yuan army in Zhuxu City was drunk, and suddenly heard a shout of killing, and was awakened, but because he drank too much, even if he stood up, he was swaying, and he had no ability to resist at all.

Zhang Nan and Jiao Touch both slept in the county office, and when they heard the noise outside, they woke up one after another, and reluctantly got out of bed, only to feel top-heavy, and one stumbled and did not stand firmly, but fell to the ground.

At this moment, the fire outside the door was soaring, and the door was kicked open, and the Xuzhou soldiers, who were carrying bloody blades, broke in directly and tied up the drunk Zhang Nan and Jiao Touch Wuhuada.

From the entry of the Xuzhou soldiers into the city to the end of the battle, the whole process was less than half an hour, and the drunk Yuan army had no ability to resist, so they could only be captured, and all of them were tied up by the Xuzhou soldiers and stuffed into the barracks near the school field for guarding.

In this sneak attack, Zhang Yan and others can be described as bloodless, none of their subordinates were killed or wounded, they were beheaded at the fifty-sixth level, and the rest of the Yuan army were all captured.

That night, Zhang Yan rested in Zhuxu City, waiting for the arrival of Xu Sheng, Niu Jin, Kong Rong and others.

In normal times, Zhang Nan and Jiao Touch woke up from drunkenness, and as soon as they opened their eyes, they saw that they were tied up by five flowers, and they were all confused for a while, and no one could figure out what was going on.

After a while, the Xuzhou soldiers heard the noise and entered the big tent, and Zhang Nan and Jiao Touch knew that they were all captured last night.

And they are also very puzzled, why did Xuzhou soldiers go and return again?

At this moment, Zhang Nan, Jiao Touch and the others have become prisoners of the ranks, if they had known that there would be such a result, they would not have drunk last night, and they really regretted it.

At the end of the day, Xu Sheng, Niu Jin, Kong Rong and others arrived at Zhuxu City, and Zhang Yan greeted them at the gate of the city and welcomed them all into the city.

After that, Zhang Yan asked Zhang Nan, Jiao Touch and other prisoners to be brought to the school field, asked Zhang Nan, Jiao Touch and others if they surrendered, and told Zhang Nan, Jiao Touch and others that if they surrendered, they could live, and if they did not surrender, there was only one way to die.

Zhang Nan and Jiao Touch took the lead in surrendering in order to survive, and their subordinates also followed suit and expressed their willingness to surrender.

After Zhang Yan surrendered Zhang Nan and Jiao Touch, he still let Zhang Nan and Jiao Touch lead the original soldiers and horses, and sent Zhang Nan as an envoy to Linzi to persuade Yuan Tan to surrender.

Zhang Nan received the order, rode his horse, and hurried to Linzi, while Zhang Yan led the army to drive Jiao Touch and other surrendered troops to Linzi.

Kong Rong was very grateful to Zhang Yan for what he had done, and came to see Zhang Yan off.

At the gate of Zhu Xucheng, Kong Rong asked people to bring wine, poured three glasses of wine, and said to Zhang Yan: "Zhang Zhijun is righteous and thin, and he rescued him with righteousness, not only to help me relieve the siege, but also to go to conquer Yuan Tan on my behalf, Wenju is grateful, and also asks Zhang Zhijun to drink these three glasses of wine, Wenju is here to pray secretly for Zhang Zhijun, hoping that Zhang Zhijun can win and return triumphantly." ”

Seeing the sincerity on Kong Rong's face, Zhang Yan picked up the wine glass and drank the three glasses of wine.

"With Kong Beihai's words, I believe that I will definitely be able to drive Yuan Tan out of Qingzhou!" Zhang Yan hugged his fists.

Kong Rong said: "If Zhang Yuanjun can really drive Yuan Tan out of Qingzhou, I am willing to unite the rest of the counties and states to serve Zhang Yuanjun as Qingzhou pastor!" ”

"I am already a pastor of Xuzhou, how can this Qingzhou pastor be at the same time? Kong Beihai is highly respected and well-known at home, so Kong Beihai should be appointed as the pastor of Qingzhou. Zhang Yan said politely.

Kong Rong said: "It's okay to write and dance and make ink, but if you want to say that the country is safe and the country is safe, it is far inferior to Zhang Yuanjun." Zhang Zhijun is young and promising, eloquent and strategic, has been in charge of Xuzhou, if he can be in charge of Qingzhou again, with the majestic posture of Qingzhou and Xuzhou, he will definitely be able to make a great achievement. If today's turmoil and the division of the heroes, does Zhang Yuanjun really not have the ambition to dominate and dominate? ”

When Zhang Yan heard Kong Rong suddenly ask, he smiled, but he didn't make any answer, and arched his hand: "Kong Beihai, it's not too early, I should also go on the road, we will have a date later!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Yan turned around and left, turned over and jumped on the back of the dark cloud snow horse, and with a loud shout of "driving", he galloped out.

Kong Rong looked at Zhang Yan's distant back, his eyes showed appreciation, and he seemed to have high hopes for Zhang Yan.

Not long after Zhang Yan and the others left, Liu Bei took Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to Kong Rong's side, and said in unison: "I have come to bid farewell to Kong Beihai." ”

Kong Rong turned his head to look over, but saw that Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei were all carrying their own baggage, and twenty or thirty relatives were also carrying their own luggage and followed behind Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei.

He frowned and hurriedly asked, "Xuande, where are you going?" ”

Liu Bei said: "Now that the siege of Beihai has been resolved, Zhang Yuanjun led the army to Linzi to drive Yuan Tan away, I will stay here to disturb Kong Beihai for many days, if I continue to disturb, I will always be unhappy in my heart." Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao and I are both relatives of the Han family, I want to go and attach, he may see the same sect, give me an official and a half position, and Jingzhou is far away from the Central Plains, public security is stable, and it is also a good place to avoid chaos. ”

Kong Rong saw that Liu Bei had made up his mind, so he said, "Since you have made a decision, I will no longer keep you." Xuande you have great ambitions, benevolence, righteousness and loyalty, but you have never encountered a good time, once the time comes, I believe that with Xuande's talent, it will definitely soar. I am also devastated here, wars are continuous, and it is not a place for you to stay for a long time, you may be able to find a good way out if you go to Jingzhou. Jingzhou is far away from here, and it is not very peaceful along the way, you must be more careful when you go on this trip, I and Liu Jingsheng have had a relationship in the capital in the past, I can write a letter to him, you take my letter to go, I believe that Liu Jingsheng will take good care of you. ”

Liu Bei said: "Then there is Laokong Beihai." ”

Kong Rong immediately asked someone to bring a pen and paper, and he immediately wrote a letter with a pen, then put it in an envelope and handed it to Liu Bei.

This is a letter of recommendation, Kong Rong has always been a good person, Liu Bei is a person with great ambitions, and there is no future for development in him, so he wrote a letter and recommended it to Liu Biao. I hope that after Liu Biao reads this letter, he will entrust Liu Bei with a heavy responsibility, and it can be regarded as repaying Liu Bei's kindness in leading the army to save Beihai twice.

Liu Bei took the letter, said goodbye to Kong Rong with Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others, and left Zhuxucheng and headed towards Jingzhou.

Liu Bei, who left Zhu Xucheng, was full of worries, and he was even more sad along the way, and he sighed at the injustice of life in his heart, so he opened his mouth and shouted: "The road is long, I will go up and down and seek......"

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei didn't understand what Liu Bei was saying, but seeing Liu Bei like this, they also knew that Liu Bei must be uncomfortable in his heart.

In the hearts of the two of them, they have been thinking about one thing, that is, if they continue to wander like this, where is the end......

The group walked for a while, and suddenly someone chased after them, it was Kong Rong who sent him personally, bringing some gold and silver, saying that this was Kong Rong's heart, and asked Liu Bei not to refuse.

Liu Bei took the gold and silver and was grateful to Kong Rong......
