Agents of the Three Kingdoms

Qinghe Country, Ganling County.

As the seat of the Qinghe Kingdom, Ganling County was successively attacked by Yuan Shao and Wang Lei, and was destroyed several times.For the first time, Yuan Shao's army invaded Wei County, and Qinghe Kingdom was occupied by Yuan Shao's people; the second time, Wang Lei led his army to counterattack, fought from Ye County, and after leaving Wei County, fought all the way to Qinghe Kingdom, occupying the Ganling County.For the third time, Wang Lei jumped out of Qinghe Kingdom and entered Nanpi County. Yuan Shao's army withdrew and occupied Ganling County again.After so many repetitions, Prime Minister Qing He also changed several people in succession.

Yuan Shao launched an army to attack Wang Lei. After starting from Nanpi County, he arrived at Ganling County, the seat of Qinghe Kingdom.

Outside the city, barracks!

Yuan Shao received Minister Qinghe in the camp, and accepted the food and weapons sent by Minister Qinghe.After Prime Minister Qinghe left, Yuan Shao summoned Xu You to discuss the matter.

Yuan Shao held a roll of bamboo slips in his hand, and said: "Ziyuan, I just got the news that Wang Lei sent Zhang Ja and Ju Shou with an army to resist us. At present, Zhang Ja's army is still in Wei County; Wang Lei is leading an army north to Zhongshan. From this point of view, Wang Lei's center of gravity is in the north, probably to defend against Wuhuan."

Xu You looked calm, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "It is a good thing that Wang Lei took the army to Zhongshan Kingdom. Zhang Jai is just an unknown person. He brought troops to resist, but he couldn't stop the front of the Lord's army. Let's go south to Wei The county seized Wang Lei's lair in one fell swoop, and when the time comes, go north to join Gongsun Zan and Wuhuan to encircle and suppress Wang Lei, and then he can be completely eliminated."

Yuan Shao nodded, changed the topic, and asked: "Before, I sent envoys to Ping'en County, Qingyuan County and Guantao County to persuade the county magistrates of these three counties to surrender. Did the envoys bring back any news?"

Xu You said: "At present, only the envoys from Guantao County and Qingyuan County have brought back news, and there is no news from Ping'en County."

Yuan Shao hurriedly asked, "What was the result?"

Ping'en County, Guantao County, and Qingyuan County are three counties located in the northeast of Wei County. If these three counties surrender, Yuan Shao's army can easily enter Wei County, so Yuan Shao has great hopes.

Xu You shook his head and said, "The magistrates of Guantao County and Qingyuan County don't surrender, and plan to fight to the death."

"Stubborn, wait for me to lead the army to the south, and kill these two county magistrates first."

Yuan Shao was annoyed, disappointed in his heart.

At this time, Guo Tu hurriedly entered the tent and reported: "My lord, there is news from Ping'en County. The magistrate of Ping'en County not only refused to surrender, but even beheaded the envoy's head to show his ambition. Right now, the soldiers have sent the envoy's Bring your head back."

"Bastard!"

Yuan Shao was furious, gnashing his teeth in anger.

The two armies fought without beheading the envoy, and the magistrate of Ping'en County beheaded his envoy. This was a provocation.

Yuan Shao looked sharply and asked, "What's the name of the magistrate of Ping'en County?"

Guo Tu replied: "The county magistrate of Ping'en County is named Tian Yu, and he is only 20 years old. According to the inquiring information, Wang Lei single-handedly promoted Tian Yu."

"Oh, it was actually Wang Lei who was promoted." Yuan Shao's eyes flashed a cold light, and he said murderously: "Send a message to Tian Yu, ordering him to surrender. If you don't surrender, after breaking the city, no one will be left behind."

A murderous intent was born immediately.

It's good that Guo Tu didn't mention Wang Lei, but when he mentioned Wang Lei, Yuan Shao couldn't suppress the anger in his heart.

Xu You was very anxious, and quickly persuaded him: "My lord, we are attacking Wang Lei in the right way. We are a teacher of benevolence and righteousness. We cannot slaughter the people. After Wang Lei's defeat, Jizhou will belong to the lord after all. Once the massacre of Ping'en County The common people will damage the reputation of the lord. Therefore, the people of Ping'en County cannot be massacred."

While talking, Xu You glared at Guo Tu.

You can just say Wang Lei, and mention that Tian Yu was promoted by Wang Lei.

Wasn't this intended to provoke Yuan Shao?

Xu You's eyes were domineering, and Guo Tu felt displeased for a while, and said, "The lord is wise and wise, how could he not know the consequences of massacring the people? The lord did this just to scare Tian Yu. Tian Yu is just a 20-year-old boy with a youthful look. Sheng, he has received the Lord's order, and he knows that he cannot stop the Lord's army, so he will definitely give up resistance."

Yuan Shao nodded again and again, looking at Guo Tu with admiration.

Xu You showed disdain, and said, "The idea is good, what if Tian Yu swears to resist?"

Guo Tu flicked his sleeves and said, "Impossible! A 20-year-old boy, how dare he resist? Even if Tian Yu refuses to surrender, the lord will send an army to capture Ping'en County, and the city will not be massacred."

Xu You was helpless for a while, what and what is this?

Only fools can use this strategy!

Yuan Shao agreed with Guo Tu's opinion, and said: "Guo Tu's analysis is reasonable. We should intimidate Tian Yu first. If Tian Yu wants to fight to the end, we will attack the city directly. As for the massacre of the people, please rest assured, Ziyuan, I don't care. will do that."

Xu You had no choice but to agree with Yuan Shao's opinion.

……

In Lunu County, Ta Dun led the army to continue southward.

The soldiers under Ta Dun's command have already gained a lot from this gallop, because along the way, there is no village or town that can block the cavalry under Ta Dun's command.But as they continued to go south, the property and women harvested gradually decreased, because the people in each village had fled, leaving uninhabited villages.

Even so, Ta Dun was not anxious.

Su Yanpu came to Tadun's side, and said respectfully: "Commander, the army is approaching Lunu County, when will it start attacking?" Su Yanpu looked excited, thinking about breaking the city, he couldn't help but feel agitated.

Ta Dun shook his head and said: "I don't intend to attack Lunu County, avoid Lunu County!"

"Why?"

Su Yanpu looked puzzled.

Ta Dun looked ahead, and said: "The purpose of our going south is not to attack cities and lands. Gongsun Zan is responsible for attacking cities. We have only one mission, and that is to plunder property and women. Lunu County is the immediate seat of Zhongshan Kingdom. The city is strong and not easy to break through, so it is not cost-effective for me to lose my sons and daughters to attack the city. Even if I grab countless money and women, it will be a failure."

Su Yanpu asked: "What's the commander in chief planning?"

A smile appeared on the corner of Ta Dun's mouth, and he said, "We avoid Lunu County and go south, heading towards Wuji County. According to the report from the spies, Gongsun Zan has already arrived in Hanchang County and is on his way to Wuji County. The fortified building in Wuji County Hand over the city to him, and we will be responsible for robbing property and women, and it will be of great benefit to follow behind."

After a pause, he added: "On the way to Wuji County, strong cities are not to be attacked, but those small towns or small county towns are also to be intimidated. Things that can be obtained without any effort are the most important ones. What we should do. After the Zhongshan Kingdom is raging, we have to withdraw to Beiping County to preserve our strength."

Su Yanpu bowed and said, "The commander is wise!"

At this time, Su Yanpu looked at Ta Dun with a trace of awe.The young man in front of him is cunning and ruthless, and Su Yanpu is also very afraid.

……

In Hanchang County, an army is rapidly moving south.

This army, the army led by Gongsun Zan, had already approached Wuji County.

At this time, Gongsun Zan was also quite excited.

Break through Wuji County and take Zhongshan Kingdom, then Gongsun Zan can own a country again.Gongsun Zan was well aware of the actions of the Wuhuan soldiers, and knew that Tadun was behind him, but Gongsun Zan's idea was to take Zhongshan Kingdom first.
