()Jizhou, Anpingguo, Xindu

Han Fu and his subordinates, all civil servants and generals, lined up on both sides of the main city gate.

Han Fu was alone, dressed in formal clothes, with a sword on his waist, but his expression was a little decadent, and his eyes looked at the official road in the distance from time to time.

"Report!"

Suddenly, a cavalry scout came over, dismounted, clasped his fists and said, "Your Excellency, Governor Yuan Shao has arrived at the intersection three miles ahead, and General Gongsun Zan has also led his troops to the intersection three miles ahead!"

"Okay, got it!" Han Fu raised his eyelids upon hearing this, waved his hand, and drank the scout away.

Turning to look at Geng Wu who was silent, he asked aloud: "Wen Wei, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan entered Xindu City at the same time, is there really no problem?"

Every time Han Fu recalled what Marquis Wu Zhao said about Yuan Shao's wolfish ambitions during the war against Dong, he became more and more convinced that Yuan Shao had evil intentions. This time, Yuan Shao wanted to move into Xindu City, which made Han Fu wake up at night with fear.

.

Geng Wu also wanted to speak more than once to prevent Han Fu from agreeing to Yuan Shao's entry into Xindu, but when he thought of Wu Zhaohou's military front, he couldn't speak, which made Geng Wu quite entangled.

Now that Yuan Shao had arrived, Geng Wu's irritability became more intense. He couldn't bear it anymore and was ready to speak out what was on his mind.

Seeing the hesitation in Han Fu's eyes, he sighed, leaned over and whispered directly: "To be honest, sir, my subordinates also feel that Yuan Shao is very ambitious. If he introduces Xindu, he will actually attract the wolf into the house!"

When Han Fu heard this, the gloom in his heart became a little stronger. He turned his head, closed his eyes and began to think deeply.

Perhaps, with Gongsun Zan still in charge, the situation would be better?

...

A place where forking roads meet.

Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao, one on the left and one on the right, met with their troops.

Yuan Shao, who was dressed in golden armor and with a snow-white cloak on his back, held a long sword in his hand, reined in his horse, and looked at the embarrassed Gongsun Zan with confusion, as well as the tens of thousands of people behind him who were in embarrassment.

The soldier finally let out a long sigh, pointed at Gongsun Zan, and said in a deep voice:

"Bogui! As far as I know, Zhang Liao only has 5,000 men under his command. How could you be like this?"

Although Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan had some minor conflicts in their fight against Dong Zan in the past days!

But at this time, both of them had a common enemy, so this small contradiction naturally disappeared. Seeing Gongsun Zan's appearance, Yuan Shao also felt a little sad that the rabbit had died.

"Oh! Don't mention it! If there is only Zhang Liao, I will naturally not be afraid!" Gongsun Zan, who was in tatters and exhausted, had no intention of plotting those small conflicts with Yuan Shao at this time. He gritted his teeth and said with eyes blazing:

"It's all that damn Qu Yi who suddenly defected to Marquis Wu Zhao, causing me to be caught off guard. Not only did I lose Peiping, but I almost lost my life! I swear to avenge this shameful and great enmity!"

As he said that, he suddenly raised his spear and pierced it on the ground. Veins popped up all over his body, obviously he was extremely angry.

"Qu Yi rebelled?"

Yuan Shao's expression suddenly changed, and he lost his voice: "Isn't that Qu Yi a veteran of Jizhou? How could he betray you?"

Even Xu You, Guo Tu and others behind Yuan Shao changed their expressions, with a look of fear in their eyes.

Although Wu Zhaohou was countless times more famous than Qu Yi, and his military record was far from comparable to Qu Yi's, most of the people present were from Jizhou, and it was rare to see Wu Zhaohou go into battle in person.

On the contrary, it is Qu Yi. You can see Qu Yi's style almost every now and then.

If Qu Yi can get rid of his arrogant personality, his infantry will definitely be considered the best in the world, and they can even break the rules and defeat the cavalry with infantry!

For such a person to join Wu Zhaohou's command, everyone couldn't help but be surprised!

Seeing this, Gongsun Zan smiled sadly, waved his hand, and gritted his teeth and said: "Even now, I still don't understand why Qu Yi surrendered!" After saying that, he beat his horse, walked slowly onto the official road, and turned around.

said:

"Okay! I heard that Han Fuzhou Mu was waiting in front, so Gongsun Zan took the first step! Say goodbye!" With that, he led his troops and headed straight towards Xindu.

Yuan Shao and others were left looking at each other in confusion.

Xu You pinched the rather irritating stubble, a pair of cunning eyes like a mouse revealed a trace of deep fear, and said in a hoarse voice: "My lord, since Gongsun Zan has been defeated, what about Qu Yi's surrender?"

, it should be true. In this case, I’m afraid we have to make preparations early!”

"What preparations are you making?" Yuan Shao turned his head, confused.

"Prepare to flee!" Xu You and Guo Tu said in unison. After speaking, the two of them couldn't help but looked at each other, and they saw solemnity in each other's eyes.

Turning his head, Xu Youcai continued: "Qu Yi has a very high prestige in Han Fu's army. If he leads the army, I am afraid that Han Fu's troops will not be able to contribute at all. In addition, Gongsun Zan's troops are newly defeated. If

If we encounter Qu Yi again, it will be equally impossible for him to have superior combat power. By then, Xindu City may also be difficult to defend!"

Although Yuan Shao was a little angry at Xu You's directness, he also understood that Xu You's words were indeed the truth.

After thinking for a while, he nodded and said: "In this case, after I enter the city, I will directly ask Han Fu for the defense of the North City Gate. If the army is really defeated by then, I can retreat directly!"

"That's right!" Xu You and Guo Tu looked at each other and nodded.

...

Xindu, in the Prefectural Mufu Mansion

The civil servants and generals from the three parties gathered together, and it was a gathering of heroes. However, everyone looked at the three people at the top with something strange in their eyes.

As a landlord, Han Fu certainly sat at the top of the list, but his face was full of decadence and he had no intention of entertaining guests.

Gongsun Zan, on the other hand, was gnashing his teeth, with waves of resentment flowing in his eyes.

Yuan Shao was the only one who looked normal. He held up his wine glass and toasted the generals in the field with a glass of wine from time to time. He had a gentle smile on his face, which made people feel good about him.

Halfway through the banquet, Han Fu finally put down the chopsticks in his hand, glanced at the people in the room with indifferent eyes, straightened the white hair on his temples, picked up the wine cup, and whispered:

"No one can stop Wu Zhaohou from attacking Jizhou. It is fate and God's will that we gather here today. I hope you all can work together to fight against this powerful enemy. Han Fu is here to toast you all!"

When Yuan Shao heard this, he was the first to react. He picked up the wine glass with a gentle smile, stood up and said, "Master Zhou Mu is too polite. Jizhou is everyone's Jizhou. It is everyone's responsibility to protect the land and borders!"

"Basic truth is a great righteousness!" Han Fu heard this, glanced at Yuan Shao, and praised him casually.

Gongsun Zan also suppressed his anger at this time, stood up and said in a deep voice: "If Marquis Wu Zhao dares to press forward again, the worst is possible."

As soon as Gongsun Zan finished speaking, there was a burst of hurried footsteps outside the door. Immediately, Geng Wu's figure appeared in everyone's eyes. The look of ecstasy, shock, doubt, and anxiety in his eyes made people confused.

Inexplicable.

"Sir, something big has happened!" Geng Wu suppressed the excitement in his heart, calmed his voice, and walked into the hall and said.

"Huh?" Han Fu's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he asked quietly: "But Wu Zhaohou sent troops to pursue again?"

In Han Fu's view, the so-called big event was just this one situation, and everyone else in the room also thought so.

But who knew, Geng Wu immediately shook his head, unable to suppress the excitement in his heart, and said in a trembling voice:

"It's not a pursuit! It's about preparing to retreat! According to the news from Han Fei, Wu Zhaohou is already in the east and west, preparing to evacuate! As for the location of the other two groups, according to the news from the scouts, Zhang Liaojun and Zhao Yunjun are even more

The evacuation has already begun!"

"Oh, pursuit...what did you say, retreat?" Before Han Fu could finish his subconscious words, he suddenly realized what he was saying, stood up, and looked at Geng Wu with wide eyes.

Including Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan and others, they all looked at Geng Wu with dumbfounded expressions.

"It's a retreat!" Geng Wu nodded solemnly.

Suddenly, the venue fell into a dead silence.

After a long while, Han Fu looked at Yuan Shao, his eyes widened, and murmured: "What is the intention of this Marquis Wu Zhao?"
