The Youzhou Army's movements were extremely quick. After half an hour, the hundred and thirty thousand strong army surrounded the Qing He City from all sides. Then, they set up camp in an orderly manner under the protection of a large cavalry army.

Yuan Shao who had already arrived at the east side of the city looked around, and realized that almost everyone had a fearful face, their expressions immediately darkened, and could not help but want to kill a few people to raise their morale. Although there were still close to a hundred thousand troops in the city, most of them were new recruits that had not been trained strictly yet. A lot of them were still Han Fu's subordinates from back then, and they did not have any loyalty to Yuan Shao.

Chunyu Qiong who was at the side supported himself on the city wall and asked softly: "I wonder if Youzhou will attack today?"

Shen Pei looked at the army of Youzhou who was busy setting up camp and guessed: It's said that Gongsun Xu's Trades and Crafts Camp is an expert in forging all kinds of equipment, but the enemy has not formed any siege equipment yet, maybe the enemy will not attack the city today.

Yuan Shao sighed: "I actually hope that they can come and attack the city in a hurry."

Chunyu Qiong was at a loss, but Shen Pei followed along and sighed. Now that the Youzhou Army was approaching menacingly, and Yuan Shao did not dare to leave the city to fight in the wild, the only way for his morale to increase was during the defense of the city. This was the only way to arouse the confidence and courage of the soldiers in the city. However, Yuan Shao and Shen Pei both knew that it was impossible for Gongsun Zanfuzi to rashly attack, and that if it really came to Youzhou Army's attack, he would definitely come at a fierce time.

Under the watch of Yuan Shao and the rest, after about half an hour, Youzhou Army had already set up camp, and following that, a thousand man cavalry unit was rushing towards the city.

Chunyu Qiong's sharp eyes immediately recognized the few people in the lead. He gnashed his teeth and said: "My lord, the ones at the very front are Gongsun Zanfuzi and Zhang Yan!"

Yuan Shao also saw the approaching person. He quickly stepped forward to support himself as he stared at Gongsun Zanfuzi who was at the front of the group. His face was filled with anger and hatred. If Gongsun Zanfuzi did not exist, let alone the Jizhou, the entire Northern Lands would probably be in his hands! When that time came, who in this world would still be able to fight with him after chasing out the Xiliang's rebel army?

Gongsun Zanfuzi and Zhang Yan were both dressed in black armor, and the thousand over cavalrymen behind them were also dressed in black armors.

On the top of the city wall, the soldiers silently praised the dog in fear. Day. sure has a lot of money!

Gongsun Xu rode on his horse to Gongsun Zan's right, he raised his head and looked at the graceful middle-aged man dressed in green grey armor and asked softly: "Father, is that Yuan Shao?"

Gongsun Zan followed his gaze and looked over, nodding, "That's right, it's Yuan Benchu! We haven't seen each other for almost a year, but Yuan Benchu seems to have aged a lot!

Zhang Yan laughed, "This year has not been easy for Yuan Benchu, especially after losing three generals and several tens of thousands of troops in a row in the last half month.

Gongsun Xu looked carefully, and laughed: "Foster father, look carefully, Yuan Shao's temples seem to have turned white!"

rubbed his eyes, and upon seeing it clearly, he couldn't help but burst out laughing. Army of Heishan and Yuan Shao's hatred was as deep as the ocean, and seeing Yuan Shao so haggard and old, Zhang Yan felt extremely satisfied in his heart, as well as relieved of his hatred.

After talking for 200 steps, Gongsun Zan stopped his horse, raised it and looked, and looked at Yuan Shao who was looking, the two of them snorted.

"Wait till this old man teases Yuan Benchu!" Zhang Yan sneered as he continued his speech, spurred his horse forward a few steps, and shouted towards the city: "Yuan Shao, you have lost one great general after another, and Xu Ziyuan, Zhang Jun Yi, and Tian Yuan Hao have also found their way back, falling under the command of the Marquis Jin. Hurry up and open the city gate, tie your hands and bring them to the gates, when will you be able to do so? "

"Bah!" Yuan Shao shouted angrily: "Zhang Yan, you traitor! I come from the House of the Four Great Clans, so what status do you have? I can hear a few words from you, you traitor! Scram quickly to the side, let Gongsun Zan come forward to speak! "

Zhang Yan was furious, he took out the Jizhou's official seal and held it high in his hand, and shouted: "Yuan Shao you traitor, watch carefully, this is the official seal of the Magistrate of Ji that the imperial government has bestowed upon me, this old man is the real Magistrate of Ji! Yuan Shao, I think that Han Fu was originally a modest gentleman, but you used such a crafty scheme to steal everything from me, and even called yourself Magistrate of Ji, and that you were a traitor! Marquis Jin joined together with this old man to kill the traitor in order to avenge envoy Han, and to give him a peaceful and prosperous life! On the city wall, listen carefully, who can catch the traitor Yuan Shao or behead him and send him to the capital? Marquis Jin and I will reward you with ten thousand gold and we will even guarantee that you will become the prefecture chief's prefecture chief! "

Many of them were originally Han Fu's subordinates, and were already filled with dissatisfaction towards Yuan Shao. Furthermore, it was as Zhang Yan had said, Yuan Shao's Magistrate of Ji was self-proclaimed, and no matter where Zhang Yan's Magistrate of Ji came from, it was definitely appointed by the imperial decree, so it was completely reasonable to say that Zhang Yan's Magistrate of Ji was even more powerful than Yuan Shao. At the moment, many people's eyes lit up, and quietly looked at Yuan Shao's back, unavoidably having other thoughts.

Yuan Shao was furious and shouted loudly, "Don't you dare be a traitor to Zhang Yan! Everyone in the world knows that your Magistrate of Ji was bought from Li Que's hands, and that you and Dong Zhuo are in cahoots with each other, so everyone in the world has the right to kill you! Soldiers, whoever obtains the head of Zhang Yan in this battle will receive 100,000 gold, and will be awarded the title of prefecture chief! "

Zhang Yan laughed loudly: "Yuan Shao is a traitor, don't try to steal something! Everyone, listen to me, Yuan Shao is headstrong and has no reputation at all! She had thought that after working for Yuan Shao for so many years, Xu Ziyuan had been ordered by him to take away his wife's family property, and even wanted to borrow a knife to kill someone, and kill Xu Ziyuan completely! "Such a vicious person, you cannot be so easily trusted!"

Hearing these words, Yuan Shao's Qi and blood surged, his vision suddenly turned black. If not for Xu You who lured Yan Liang into the ambush, how could the forty thousand strong army under his command be completely wiped out? However, the Liu Family stealing Xu You's family property really did exist, for a moment, Yuan Shao really did not know how to refute.

Seeing that, Shen Pei quickly shouted: "Zhang Yan is a traitor, don't try to lie to us! Who didn't know that Xu You was a greedy person? Xu You ordered his son and nephew to extort him. His lordship had wanted to punish him harshly, but had been willing to let him off the hook because of his many years of friendship. He had only been fined some money and food! Who would have thought that Xu You, that fellow, would actually betray his master and submit to the enemy, resulting in the destruction of General Yan Liang and the forty thousand troops! "You guys actually accepted such unfaithful and unrighteous people, and even inverted the truth for him. It can be seen that you guys are all treacherous people!"

Zhang Yan smiled and asked: "Who are you?"

"I am Yuan Shijun's advisor, Shen Pei!" Shen Pei held his head high and reported his name, "Zhang Yan is a traitor, yet your entire clan is just in front of your eyes and you do not know of it, how ignorant you are! Gongsun Zan was an ambitious person, cooperating with him was like asking for help! Sooner or later, Gongsun Zan will take your life, and completely swallow your Army of Heishan! "

After Zhang Yan heard this, he pointed at Shen Pei and laughed, but Shen Pei did not understand what was going on.

"Let me tell you what's so funny!" Gongsun Zan shouted as he spurred his horse forward, pointing the horsewhip at Shen Pei, "My son Gongsun Xu has already taken Fei Yanxiong as his foster father, and in the future, he will inherit Fei Yanxiong's legacy. We are already family! Moreover, this old man has already sworn to the Alliance that in the future, he will treat every single Army of Montenegro with kindness and treat them as equals! "Your guesses are ridiculous."

Yuan Shao would never lie about such a thing in front of Zhang Yan, and Zhang Yan had rebutted it for Zhang Yan too. From this, it could be seen that what Gongsun Zan said was all true. It would have been fine if both families had their own schemes, but now that Zhang Yan and the Gongsun family had become one, they would work together to attack the Qing He City. This was extremely bad news!

Gongsun Zan no longer paid attention to Shen Pei, and shouted at Yuan Shao: "Yuan Benchu, quickly open the city and surrender. If they still refused to wake up, they would die together after the city was destroyed! You all, listen carefully, Yuan Shao is a traitor, it is not worth dying for him! Even if you die, you will live for tens of thousands of years! "

"Gongsun Zan!" Yuan Shao roared: Don't spout nonsense, bewitching people's hearts! This old man is an upright and loyal official of the Han Dynasty, how can I allow you to slander me as you please! Back then, when Dong Zhuo was plotting against them, if it were not for the old me getting ahead of myself, Dong Zhuo's traitorous act would still wreak havoc in the capital city. This old man's loyalty to His Majesty and the imperial government could be said to be as bright as day, who doesn't know of this? "

Gongsun Zan laughed coldly: "Yuan Shao, if you don't want others to know, don't do it unless you are by yourself! You kept saying that you are loyal to His Majesty, but you kept luring Liu Yu to become the emperor by himself. If it wasn't for Liu Yu's firm will and loyalty to the Han Dynasty, he would have probably heard your slanderous words long ago! You claim to be from the House of Four, Three Masters, but you are not loyal at all. You will only sully the Yuan clan's face! For such an unloyal and unfilial person, what face would he have to face his ancestors in the underworld? "

The matter of him persuading Liu Yu to become the emperor on his own was extremely secretive. Yuan Shao never thought that Gongsun Zan would actually know about it, and even publicly announce it! Could it be that Liu Yu spread the news? Old man Liu Yu's reputation was extraordinary. If he really did say it, then the reputation of his hard-working business would plummet! Yuan Shao was startled and angry at the same time. Suddenly, the sky spun and his body swayed, almost falling down.
