But even if they were Yuan Shang's people, Yuan Xi's military post was still above them, so they had to obey Zhang He's orders and lead nearly 20,000 people to cross mountains and ridges and take Jinyang straight.

At the same time, Gao Lan and Zhang He were not idle either. They each led their 5,000 elite troops on the way. According to Zhang He's plan, three groups of people will surprise Jinyang. At that time, they will encircle Jinyang and capture the king first. Even if one of them is discovered, the other two groups will still have the opportunity to rush to Jinyang City. As for the attack on Jinyang City, Zhang He seems to be determined to win.

In the next few days, we were still surrounded by Yuan Shao's army before. Fang Yue wanted to lead the army out, but he was a very obedient general and would not launch an attack without the permission of the monarch. Not to mention others, Gongsun Xu relied on his command of the 15,000 army and acted as a blessing in the Huguan. The prefect Mu Shun turned a blind eye and went in and out of the brothel every day. Gongsun Hu was eager to try and wanted to take advantage of the hard work before everyone and make the first contribution.

In Jinyang City, the entire Jinyang City now does not seem to be a city facing a war. There are endless noises in the city every day. Since Zhang Yang surrendered the Black Mountain bandits, the Black Mountain bandits gave up the Black Mountain base camp and merged them into Jinyang City. With the acquiesce of the thief Zhang Niujiao, they have been doing many evil things in Jinyang City every day. Zhang Yang's military advisor Dong Zhao couldn't stand it and asked the constables to arrest these bandits who made the people live in poverty and rectify the law on the spot. For this reason, the bandits and the constables even fought a big fight in Jinyang City. Unexpectedly, the people actually helped the constables, and soon hundreds of bandits fell to the ground on the spot.

This incident naturally alarmed Zhang Yang. After hearing this, Zhang Yang was furious and did not forgive Dong Zhao like Yu Gu, and ordered that Dong Zhao be directly sent to prison. Fortunately, Dong Zhao was demoted to three levels in a row and removed him from his position as military advisor. Zhang Yang later cooperated with Zhang Niujiao and even exploited the people's property as military expenditure. Many of them fell into the pockets of the Black Mountain bandits. The food and supplies of more than 100,000 troops were also made like this. The people in Jinyang City were already complaining.

Twenty days later, within Gongsun Yue’s military camp.

Gongsun Yue, who had just received the new supplies, couldn't stop talking. Zhang Yang spent a lot of effort to please the younger brother of the Alliance leader, and even gave Gongsun Yue a lot of money he had plundered. Gongsun Yue was still a man, but now he is middle-aged and has lost his youthful impetus and has become more snobbish and cherishes his life.

After several months of rest, the elite cavalry under Gongsun Yue had long been accustomed to the comfortable life in Jinyang City, and even began to forget the scene of chasing foreigners who had crossed thousands of miles in the Jicheng Desert. The muscles on their bodies turned into fat, becoming lazy, and even stopped doing daily exercises, as if they were here for vacation.
