In Yangshi County, Taishi Ci and Tian Feng camped on the Beili River, using the river to block Gongsun Zan's offensive.

So far, Gongsun Zan has not been killed yet.

After Wang Lei led his army to withdraw from Zhongshan, he went straight south and returned to the army camp in Beilihe.After Wang Lei withdrew, both Tian Feng and Tai Shici breathed a sigh of relief. Wang Lei led the soldiers of the Feihu Camp to rush thousands of miles away, taking risks alone.When Wang Lei returned safely, Tian Feng and Tai Shici could go all out to prepare to deal with Gongsun Zan.

The big tent of the Chinese army, in the barracks.

Wang Lei sat on top, and below sat Dian Wei, Tai Shici, Tian Feng, Zhao Fengyue and others.

Everyone gathered, Wang Lei said, "Wuhuan withdrew from Jizhou, now it's time to deal with Gongsun Zan."

Wang Lei felt very sad about Gongsun Zan's attack on Jizhou.

The two have a good relationship, but Gongsun Zan...

However, Wang Lei also understands that as a person in power, it is impossible to mix emotions into it.

Tai Shici continued: "My lord, Gongsun Zan has stabilized the power of the Zhongshan Kingdom and has already entered Julu County. Now he has occupied Xiaquyang County and is going straight to Yangshi County. I suggest choosing the Beili River as the location for the battle. "

Zhongshan State Minister Zhao Fengyue continued: "Gongsun Zan is aggressive, we must launch a counterattack. If there is no counterattack, the people's hearts will be unstable, which is very bad for us."

Wang Lei nodded and agreed with Tai Shici and Zhao Fengyue's proposal.It's just that Wang Lei suddenly noticed Tian Feng's serious face, and immediately knew that the situation was not good.

I'm afraid something happened!

Wang Lei quickly asked: "Mr. Yuan Hao, what happened to you?"

Tian Feng replied: "My lord, it's not that I have encountered something, but the army has encountered a problem. At present, the situation of our army is very bad. Our soldiers are strong, but the logistics cannot keep up, and the food and grass are not enough."

Wang Lei said with an expression of disbelief, "Impossible, I didn't get any news about the shortage of food and grass!"

Tian Feng said: "From last year to this year, there have been continuous wars. Counting it in detail, since the lord went to Wuji County last year and Yuan Shao served as the prefect of Bohai County, the war has never stopped."

"At the beginning, Yuan Shao led an ambitious rebellion and attacked the Hejian Kingdom and Zhongshan Kingdom, but was finally defeated by the lord."

"After a short time, Cao Cao issued a call to attack Dong Zhuo, and a war of princes against Dong Zhuo broke out."

"Next, Yuan Shao rebelled again, and my lord led the army to put down the rebellion, solving the crisis facing Jizhou."

"Han Fu was assassinated and died. The lord served as the shepherd of Jizhou, but Yuan Shao joined forces with Wuhuan and Gongsun Zan to rebel. The war has now entered a stage of exhaustion. The granary is empty and it is difficult to support it."

"The long-term war has exhausted the grain hoarded in Jizhou in the past two years."

"A few days ago, there was news from the rear that there was not enough food and grass, and it would take another half a month at most. In addition to us, Weijun Zhang, Ju Shou and Tian Yu, who are responsible for the defense, are also facing a shortage of food and grass."

Tian Feng looked serious, and continued: "Jizhou is prosperous and rich, with thousands of miles of fertile soil. As long as you have three to five years to recuperate, you will be able to hoard food and grass for several years or even decades. But Jizhou does not have enough time to cultivate, and Han Fu is the shepherd of Jizhou. It was only a little over a year ago. Before Han Fu, there had been Black Mountain bandits and Yellow Turban bandits wreaking havoc, causing chaos in Jizhou. Han Fu served as the state shepherd for more than a year, and Jizhou has recovered to a certain extent, but it is far from enough. Continuous The great war wiped out Jizhou's savings."

After Wang Lei heard this, his heart sank immediately.

At a critical moment, how can you lose the chain!

Now is the time to fight back against Gongsun Zan, why is there only enough food for half a month?

For a moment, Wang Lei was in a mess.

Wang Lei took a deep breath to calm himself down, and quickly made a decision, gritted his teeth and said: "This battle cannot be lost. Once you take the initiative to admit defeat, all previous efforts will be wasted. Even Yuan Shao will attack aggressively, which is very harmful to us. Unfavorable. I decided to seize the time, defeat Gongsun Zan within half a month, and drive him out of Zhongshan Kingdom."

Tian Feng frowned and said: "Master, if you do this, the result will be disastrous."

Wang Lei said, "Does Mr. Yuan Hao have any better suggestions?"

Tian Feng shook his head helplessly, Tian Feng also felt extremely difficult in the current situation.

The soldiers and horses have not moved, and the food and grass go first. Without the support of food and grass, Wang Lei's soldiers can't stand the toss even if they are made of iron.Moreover, it is impossible for Wang Lei to learn from the Wuhuan soldiers to raid the common people, as if his neck is stuck.

"Report!!"

A soldier ran in quickly with solemn eyes.

Wang Lei asked, "What is it?"

The soldier took out a silk book from his pocket and said, "News from Ye County, please read it." Wang Lei took it, opened it and browsed it.After reading it, Wang Lei clenched his fists, his knuckles creaking.

"Snapped!!"

Punching on the desk, Wang Lei was furious.

With the sudden change, everyone in the camp looked solemn.

I am afraid that another accident occurred.

Wang Lei waved his hands to make the soldiers who reported the news back down, took a deep breath, and calmed down his chaotic mood.It was a great joy to defeat the Wuhuan soldiers and retreat to the camp. The successive incidents made Wang Lei's mentality a little unbalanced.

Wang Lei adjusted his mentality and said, "Everyone, I just received news from Ye County. We are not only facing Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao, but also Guan Hai, the Yellow Turban thief who came from Qingzhou. According to the news from the spies, Guan Hai was also instigated by Yuan Shao. Come here. The army under Guan Hai's command is no less than three to fifty thousand, even though it is a mob, it should not be underestimated."

Tai Shici frowned and said, "Just after driving away Wuhuan, the Yellow Turban Bandit ushered in again. This time, it's really a troubled time! I'm afraid it will be difficult to defeat Gongsun Zan."

Tian Feng's brows were also frowned into a Sichuan character, with a dignified expression, and he said helplessly: "My lord's rise is too short, and it has only been more than a year. Compared with Yuan Shao, the accumulated contacts and prestige are not enough. Yuan Shao can find Countless people besiege Jizhou, but the Lord has no way to resolve it. In the future, not only must he recuperate, but also expand the Lord's contacts and prestige, so that Jizhou remains invincible."

Wang Lei looked at Tian Feng and said, "Mr. Yuan Hao, the situation is unfavorable. What's your suggestion?"

Tian Feng said: "The incident was too sudden, and there is no countermeasure for it."

Wang Lei became more and more irritable in his heart, but he didn't show it, it was pressed deep in his heart.Wang Lei did not expect that Yuan Shao would continue to incite surrounding forces to attack Jizhou.This time, it really had a huge impact on him.

Tai Shici said: "My lord, I have a suggestion at the end."

Wang Lei was overjoyed, leaned forward slightly, put his hands on the desk, and said, "What clever plan did Ziyi think of, come and listen to it, let's discuss it." At this moment, Wang Lei saw a glimmer of hope again, looking forward to it. Tai Shici can give a surprise.
