After Liu Yu defeated Yuan Shao's main force, Zhao Yun failed to pursue Yuan Shao, so he and Zhang Yan returned to Julu to join Liu Yu.

Zhang Yan's subordinates were all thieves. They had heard before that their leader was the general of King Zhao Liu Yu, but Zhang Yan never admitted it.

Liu Yu disclosed Zhang Yan's identity in front of everyone, and Zhang Yan's subordinates laughed again and again. Can they be happy? They were just bandits who couldn't survive and then turned into bandits. This life of licking blood from the edge of a knife is not for anyone.

Those who are willing to live, with Zhang Yan's identity confirmed, then they will become regular soldiers under Liu Yu's command, and they will be able to fight for their children and grandchildren in the future. Even if they are unlucky, they can become civilians and bring their wives, children and children under Liu Yu's rule.

Enjoy a stable life.

At the same time, Zhang Liao sent Pang De and several thousand troops to Julu, hoping that Liu Yu could attack him from both sides.

Coupled with the recruitment and surrender of tens of thousands of Yuan Shao's troops, Liu Yu's military strength has reached its peak this time in the war against Hebei, and he can freely deploy his troops throughout Jizhou and even the Central Plains.

Yuan Shao's defeat meant that all the counties in the western part of Jizhou no longer had the military power to pose any threat to Liu Yu. Liu Yu and Tian Feng discussed and planned to take advantage of this opportunity to march into Yecheng and destroy Yuan Shao in one fell swoop.

But after Guo Tu handed his plan and information about Yecheng to Liu Yu, Liu Yu gave up the idea.

Guo Tu's information is very important to Liu Yu, and he now also attaches great importance to Guo Tu's use to him. He still feels that he should follow Guo Tu's plan.

"I didn't expect Guo Gongze to be so powerful. I don't think I can plan such a big plan like him." Tian Feng sighed sincerely after reading Guo Tu's plan.

Liu Yu also thinks so. When he threatened Guo Tu to surrender to him, he just wanted to put a nail in Yuan Shao's side. As for the outcome, he didn't care much whether Guo Tu lived or died in the end. Now Guo Tu gives himself

Having created such a huge return, is this considered a bright future?

"Guo Gongze is a rare talent. I will make good use of him after defeating Yuan Shao in the future!" Liu Yu also defined Guo Tu.

After Tian Feng pondered for a while, he asked Liu Yu: "Guo Tu said in the intelligence that Yuan Shao will die of illness soon, which is a bit difficult. Where does Guo Tu have the confidence?"

Liu Yu said with a smile: "I think Guo Gongze has his own way. Now Yuan Shao is trapped and the beast is still fighting. We can win by marching now, but our army will suffer heavy losses. Let's take the other counties in the west of Jizhou first.

"

Tian Feng understood that it was best to wait for Yuan Shao to die before making a decision, and to eat other places first.

The 30,000 troops led by Lu Bu finally reunited with Liu Yu, bringing news that Jicheng had been captured.

Liu Yu expressed his affirmation to Lu Bu and the others for capturing Jicheng and credited them with their great achievements.

Jicheng was captured, and the control of Youzhou was firmly in Liu Yu's hands. Yuan Shao was left with most of Qingzhou and Jizhou, and Liu Yu had an absolute offensive advantage.

Lu Bu was praised by Liu Yu, and his face beamed with joy. This made Dian Wei very uncomfortable. He bumped his shoulder against Guan Yu and said: "It takes so long to defeat Jicheng, but I still have the nerve to say that I am the number one general!"

I have never seen such a shameless person."

"Dian Heizi, who are you talking about?!" Lu Bu was angry. He was a little embarrassed after fighting Jicheng for such a long time. He didn't expect that Dian Wei would not open any pot and lift it, specifically to expose his scars. And the first

The title of military commander was given by others, not by himself.

"Hey, I was talking to Yunchang just now, why did you interrupt? Yunchang, do you know this person?" Dian Wei pretended not to know Lu Bu.

Guan Yu had a black hair, and it was difficult for him to behave in the middle, so he had to close his eyes and remain silent.

"Okay, stop joking, don't talk nonsense now. Let's talk about business!" Liu Yu straightened his face, and Dian Wei and Lu Bu immediately returned to their original positions.

Everyone was waiting for Liu Yu's order. Liu Yu took out the march plan that he had discussed with Tian Feng and said: "Zhao Yun listens to the order! I order you to lead ten thousand steps to ride towards Changshan County. You must succeed!"

"General, take your orders!" Zhao Yun took the military order. Changshan County is Zhao Yun's hometown, so it would be best for Zhao Yun to go.

"Zhang Yan, order your troops to march into Guangping County, stabilize the grain roads, wipe out the bandits and bandits, and keep the grain roads intact." Liu Yu continued.

"Zhang Yan understands!" Zhang Yan is the most experienced in dealing with thieves.

At this time, Feng Ji came to Liu Yu with Guo Tu's token.

"Zhang Ji and Zhang He, you lead 20,000 infantry and cavalry to attack Anping County and open up contact with Zhang Liao's headquarters." Liu Yu ordered again.

Zhang He is a local leader in Jizhou. If he goes out to attack Anping County, the effect will be much better. But Liu Yu is still worried about him, so he puts Zhang Ji beside him, which can play a surveillance role. Liu Yu has no one to use without suspicion.

People don’t use their thoughts, so it’s better to be cautious in doing things.

Zhang He understood Liu Yu's painstaking efforts, and he had no objection. For a newly surrendered general like him, it was already very good for Liu Yu to entrust him with such an important task.

"The others each led their troops to expand the control area with Julu as the center. They recruited all counties and counties to surrender. Anyone who resisted would be killed without mercy!" Liu Yu made the final arrangement.

"General, take the order!" Other generals took the military orders one after another.

Not long after, Zhao Yun, Zhang Yan, Zhang He and Zhang Ji set off from Julu with their troops and headed for their destination.

Other generals also led their troops to attack the cities around Julu, constantly expanding Liu Yu's control area.

As soon as Liu Yu's army arrived, the cities they encountered surrendered with almost no resistance. News of Yuan Shao's defeat had long spread around Julu. The county magistrates and garrison generals in each county knew that Yuan Shao was defeated, and Zhao Wang Liu Yu

The trend of occupying Jizhou is irreversible. They are all smart people, and of course they understand that good birds choose trees to roost in. However, when the forest is big, there will always be a few unsociable birds.

Yuan Shao's trusted generals Su You and Wang Men led the defenders of Yangcheng County and Pu County to resist Liu Yu and refused to accept Liu Yu's surrender.

These two people were also unlucky for eight lifetimes. They each met Lu Bu and Dian Wei, the most ferocious among Liu Yu's army. Lu Bu was ridiculed by Dian Wei, and he had already suppressed a surge of anger in his heart, but many cities surrendered without a fight.

Lu Bu is also not good at venting his anger. Dian Wei likes to be tough and likes others to resist. According to current sayings, he is a bit sadistic in nature.

Now that the two of them were so close to death, they encountered these two cruel guys.

Lu Bu launched a brutal attack and captured Yangcheng in one wave. Only then did Su You realize how stupid he was and how overestimating his own abilities. In order to survive, Su You tied himself up and walked in front of Lu Bu.

Su You expressed his intention to surrender to Lu Bu. Lu Bu raised his knife and cut Su You into two pieces. It is not too late to surrender now.

Dian Wei is not a human being at all. When he attacked Pu County, he took the lead on the city by himself, waving his halberds and constantly harvesting lives. The Wangmen who came to block him couldn't even take one of Dian Wei's moves, so he was photographed by Dian Wei.

They were reduced to pulp. The defenders had never seen such a horrific scene before. They were all so frightened that they all dropped their weapons and surrendered.

The news that the two resisting cities were easily captured spread quickly. No one dared to resist anymore and honestly accepted the surrender.

All the cities around Julu surrendered to Liu Yu, and Liu Yu controlled the central area of ​​Jizhou.

Zhang Yan went to Guangping County and put down all the bandits and bandits in the territory.

In fact, it cannot be said that it was pacified. It should be said that the bandits and bandits took the initiative to seek refuge with Zhang Yan. Before, Zhang Yan was a green forest hero from the three states of Hebei, Qing, and Youzhou. The thieves in Guangping County had long admired Zhang Yan's name, and they all

Zhang Yan asked Liu Yu about the situation, and Liu Yu of course agreed, and ordered the selected ones to be admitted, and then arranged to serve as defenders in various cities. Liu Yu also warned those thieves who had heavy blood debts or committed many evil deeds not to

If you keep it, those who deserve to be killed still need to see blood.

Zhang Yan understands this very well, and the thieves are willing to accept the arrangement. Except for those thieves who have done many evil things and scolded Zhang Yan for disregarding the morality of the green forest. In response to these discordant voices, Zhang Yan directly adopted a crushing offensive, leaving no one alive.

After Zhang Yan's strong medicine, Guangping County no longer had any bandits or bandits. The people of Guangping County found that the soldiers guarding the city were different from the previous ones, and they felt that they did not look like official soldiers.

.So the people’s eyes are sharp.

Things were not going so smoothly for Zhang He and Zhang Ji. In order to prevent Zhang Liao and Liu Yu from joining together, Yuan Shao sent a large number of troops to continuously block the attack. Zhang He and Zhang Ji were unable to break through for a while. Until Zhang Liao inquired about the news and confronted Zhang He and Zhang Ji.

The strategic goal was achieved through a pincer attack.

Zhao Yun's march in Changshan County was very smooth, and no one dared to resist. Zhao Yun had been suppressing bandits in Changshan before he joined Gongsun Zan, and the people all knew Zhao Zilong's name. The prefect of Changshan County knew that even if he wanted to resist, the people would definitely

He would not support it. Governor Changshan felt that his subordinates might take their own heads to receive the reward.

Rather than being attacked and killed as a sign of surrender to Liu Yu, it would be better for him to simply surrender.

In this way, Zhao Yun captured Changshan County without any bloodshed.

However, Zhao Yun will not be back soon. He is now surrounded by his Zhao family, and it is too difficult to escape.

Although the Zhao family is a famous surname in Changshan and has a large number of people, it is not an aristocratic family. Now that the Zhao family has a talent like Zhao Yun who can lead the Zhao family to prosperity, the young and old of the Zhao family are so happy that they directly drag Zhao Yun to pay homage to their ancestors.

Zhao Yun is gentle on the outside but strong on the inside. He is very kind to his own people. He has not been home for many years and he also wants to see how his hometown has become.
