Youzhou, Jicheng.
This is the capital of Yan.
Today, the territory of Yan is quite peaceful, and there is no war. After all, the battlefields of these years are mainly concentrated in Jizhou, Yanzhou, Jingzhou and other places.
Because the state of Yan was located in the border, and Yuan Shao had never attacked Gongsun Zan, there was no war in Youzhou these years, so that Gongsun Zan's days were quite peaceful.
Although Youzhou is located in the border, it is a place connecting the Hu people and the Han people. There are a lot of merchants coming and going, so although Youzhou is poorer, its commerce is also prosperous.
In particular, today's Gongsun Zan has been called emperor, no longer the king of Yan.
After Zhang Xiu became emperor, Gongsun Zan also became emperor.
From the king of Yan to the emperor of Yan, Gongsun Zan is magnificent and has a leisurely life. From the beginning to the end, however, Gongsun Zan didn't waste his government affairs as he used to. Instead, he made great efforts to govern. The strength of Yan state was not weak.
Ji City, the capital of Yan state, is full of people.
At the moment, outside the imperial city of the state of Yan, a middle-aged man is in a hurry to come outside the imperial city. He was tall, with slightly long cheeks, a goatee under his jaw, a smile on his face, and looked flattering.
His name is Guan Jing, a confidant of Gongsun Zan.
When Gongsun Zan was in charge, Guan Jing was a long history of Gongsun Zan. When Gongsun Zan became Queen, Guan Jing was also a long history of the Yan palace. Now Gongsun Zan is the emperor, Guan Jing has become the official of the state of Yan. He has been in charge of the power of the state of Yan, and is a powerful official of the state of Yan.
Guan Jing came to the gate of the imperial city and told the soldiers to go straight into the palace. When Guan Jing came to the hall and waited for a while, he saw Gongsun Zan coming.
Today's Gongsun Zan is vigorous and energetic.
After all, people are in a good mood at happy events.
In particular, the power in his hands made Gongsun Zan quite energetic. Especially in recent years, the main reason why they occupied Youzhou was to suppress the ethnic groups such as Wuhuan and Xianbei on the back, but they also achieved good results. The foreigners were extremely awed by Gongsun Zan.
This is also Gongsun Zan's complacency.
Jingguan, your majesty
Gongsun Zan waved his hand and said, "situ doesn't need to be polite. Sit down!"
"Thank you
Guan Jing bows to thank him and sits down.
Gongsun Zan asked, "what's the matter with situ's coming to the palace?"
Guan Jing said: "in reply to your majesty, the southern state of Jin was destroyed, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shang were killed, and Zhang Xiu led the army, which had already approached the state of Yan. It is estimated that Zhang Xiu's next step is to attack our country. "
"What?"
Gongsun Zan had an unexpected look on his face.
He did not expect that in the blink of an eye, Zhang Xiu had already wiped out Yuan Shao and had approached the border of Yan.
Gongsun Zan still didn't believe it and said, "situ, Yuan Shao's strength is not weaker than that of Yan. Even if Bingzhou fell, Yuan Shao's strength still existed, with at least 100000 Jiashi. Even if Yuan Shao and Zhang Xiu fought hard, they would not be so defeated. This battle is too rare and too quick. "
Guan Jing replied: "Yuan Shao really made a big mistake. On the one hand, before that, Yuan Shao became a minister of Zhang Xiu and called himself Emperor er. He wanted to dwarf Zhang Xiu."
"This incident laid the foundation for Yuan Shao, who was weaker than Zhang Xiu. On the other hand, Yuan Shao's literary and military officers have all joined Zhang Xiu, and he is no longer available. "
"In the end, Yuan Shao divided his forces to block, so that he was defeated by each one. In the end, Yuan Shao's troops were defeated, and Zhang Xiu's army could no longer be stopped. "
"In the end, Yuan Shao chose to surrender on the way, but after Zhang Xiu accepted Yuan Shao's surrender, she killed Yuan Shao's father and son to comfort the people of Jin."
Guan Jing zhengse way: "just so, yuan Shaocai quickly defeated."
"Waste!"
Gongsun Zan showed disdain, said: "these years, we and Yuan Shao contest, he is still some ability. Did not expect that now, he was so unbearable, is so cowardly. It is a shame that the emperor of a country is willing to be an emperor to Zhang Xiu. The people of the yuan family are so cowardly and shameful. "
Guan Jing said, "what your majesty said is true."
Gongsun Zan continued: "when you come to see me, you mean that now Zhang Xiu is going to kill her in the state of Yan. Besides, we need to be ready for a war with Zhang Xiu, right? "
"Yes
Guan Jing nods and answers.
Gongsun Zan beat the desk in front of him. After thinking about it, he said in a deep voice: "Zhang Xiu is very powerful and can't be underestimated. Once upon a time, we were united with Zhang Xiu, but now, since Zhang Xiu was killed, I can't show weakness. This time, I will have a good meeting with Zhang Xiu to see what he can do for me? Si Tu, you're going to send an order to mobilize 100000 excellent soldiers under my command to go south with me. In this battle, you stay at Jicheng and take charge of the defense in the rear. As for Gongsun fan, Dan Jing, Tian Kai and others, they went south with me to meet Zhang Xiu. ""Here it is
Guan Jing's fist should be thrown.
Over the years, Yan's strength has been developing, and its national strength is growing.
Under this premise, the number of people with armor in the state of Yan is no less than 100000, and their actual strength is extremely powerful. Therefore, Guan Jing's view on this war also thinks that it has the power of the first war and that it can start a war with Zhang Xiu.
As long as this battle blocks Zhang Xiu's army, then Yan's status will be as stable as Mount Tai. If this war can't be stopped, then we should consider the way that can't be stopped.
In less than an hour, the army gathered.
Gongsun Zan put on his armor and led his troops to the battle. He took a hundred thousand people to the south of Jicheng. In particular, Gongsun Zan's strength should not be underestimated because at least 30000 elite soldiers are cavalry.
When they arrived at the border of Youzhou, the garrison stopped.
Gongsun Zan did not go south.
He is waiting for the arrival of Zhang Xiu at the border.
In addition, Gongsun Zan also arranged many sentinels to sneak into Jizhou to inquire for intelligence, so as to make a response. With the news coming back, Gongsun Zan had already made clear about Zhang Xiu's troops. This time Zhang Xiu went north, her troops exceeded 100000, no less than 140000.
This is a vast army.
Even Gongsun Zan felt great pressure, but Gongsun Zan was not afraid. The 100000 soldiers under his command were all the best among the elite, and all of them were soldiers with strong fighting capacity. Therefore, Gongsun Zan had to fight even if he had few troops.
With the passage of time, after entering October, the weather gradually turns cool, especially in Youji, which is located in the north and cold early. By this time, the army led by Zhang Xiu had reached the border of Jizhou, close to Gongsun Zan's army.
The two armies met and formed their own ranks.
Whether Zhang Xiu's army or Gongsun Zan's army, they all set up their positions.
Zhang Xiu rode forward, his eyes fell on the Yan army's line-up, Lang said: "I am Zhang Xiu, where is Gongsun Zan?"
"Here I am!"
Gongsun Zan, dressed in bright silver armor, held his head high, raised his horse whip in his hand, pointed to the position of Zhang Xiu, and said in a deep voice: "Zhang Xiu, you and I used to fight against Yuan Shao together. Even, I once sent troops to attack Yuan Shao, but I was very kind to the state of Qin. Now you are going north with your army. Is it to avenge the hand that feeds the hand that feeds the hand that feeds the hand that feeds the hand that feeds the hand that feeds the hand that feeds the hand that feeds the hand that feeds the hand that feeds the hand that feeds the hand that feeds the hand that feeds the hand that feeds the hand that feeds the hand
Zhang Xiu said: "this time and that time, the past situation, how can we get now to discuss. What's more, in the past, your Gongsun Zan was so depressed that he was determined to die. I arranged Yang Xiu to go north, so that you could cheer up and make Gongsun Zan what he is today. As for the fact that you sent troops to attack the rear of Yuan Shao, you saw that it was profitable. If you can't stop Zhang Xiu's army and you have no profit, how can you attack? After all, you are also for the benefit of ah
Gongsun Zan's eyes narrowed and carefully examined Zhang Xiu in front of him. He had heard about Zhang Xiu for a long time, but now he saw her for the first time. In his impression, Zhang Xiu was young, with sharp teeth and sharp mouth.
This is not an easy person to deal with.
