Chapter 201 Qingzhou Dilemma!

Taishi Ci entangled Wen Chou, but Dugu Qiu didn't exist, and Wen Chou's army also couldn't find a second general to gather strength.

After Wen Chou's lieutenant Sui Yuanjin was split in half by Dugu Qiu with an axe, the 3 two-winged elite cavalry he led rampaged through the Yuan army's formation, which was unstoppable and already somewhat chaotic!
In the square formation composed of 10,000+ men and horses, the sound of scimitars tearing muscles, the moans before death, the chaotic footsteps, and the excited roars of war horses came one after another, continuously!

These fanatics still retain the habit of fighting on the grassland in the past, turning the scimitar in their hands while fighting, howling wolves!

Coupled with the ferocious face and somewhat perverted eyes, it is very scary just to look at it!
Here Wen Chou was using his spear to block Tai Shi Ci's thrusting spear. The air flow caused red marks on Wen Chou's black face. His peripheral vision slightly turned towards Yuan Jun, who was already somewhat defeated on the battlefield. !

His face changed slightly, and he finally realized that the battle situation was somewhat unfavorable. Yuan Tan was defeated, and Dugu Qiu was unstoppable among the army!
Many soldiers of Yuan's army have taken advantage of the chaos and escaped secretly in many corners of the battlefield. This battle cannot be fought like this!
He quickly feinted a shot at Tai Shici, turned his horse and walked away, shouting "Ming Jin retreats! Ming Jin retreats!"

Tai Shici did not pursue, but took out his own carved longbow, pulled it at Wen Chou's back, and shot three arrows towards his back like lightning.

Wen Chou heard the sound of arrow feathers behind him and immediately lowered his body. At the same time, the arrow hit his steel helmet and bounced to the side with sparks!Another arrow missed his right shoulder.

But Wen Chou was still hit hard in the head by the arrow on his head, and at the same time, he was also hit by an arrow in his left arm!
He groaned, gritted his teeth, endured the dizziness in his head and the severe pain in his right arm, continued to lower his body on the horse, and ran forward without looking back!

When Lu Su on the city wall saw this scene, he was very happy and hammered the city wall hard, ignoring the pain in his right hand!

This battle was really fought beautifully. Most of the people lying on the battlefield were Yuan Jun's corpses. It was initially estimated that the casualties were at least [-] to [-]!

In addition to the previous capture of about 1 people, the nearly 20 troops that Wen Chou led from Qingzhou this time have been lost by more than a quarter!
Coupled with the injuries and loss of combat capability, Wen Chou may not be able to use more than half of the men and horses now!
On our side, in addition to the 4000 people who were killed and injured during Wen Chou's crazy attack on the city, and the 5000 people who died in this general attack, there are still [-] to [-] people who are capable of fighting!
Now the strength of the two sides is finally equal!Now let's take into account that the grain road between Wenchou and Qingzhou was cut off by the navy. Although Tian Feng still moved some grain and grass from Jizhou, this land road was more than a thousand miles away from Leling, and the delivery was probably a drop in the bucket.

In Linzi City, the seat of Qingzhou, Guo Tu was drinking in the mansion worriedly. Among Yuan Shao's counselors, he was the one closest to Yuan Tan.

During this expedition, Yuan Shao also sent him to assist Yuan Tan in escorting food and grass!

But now all the Beihai ports along the Yellow River are unable to transport food, which is very bad, so Guo Tu is very worried now and can only drink wine alone in his house!

At this moment, suddenly a man wearing a black official uniform came to his house!
His name is Guo De, and he is a member of Guo Tu's clan. According to his seniority, he should be Guo Tu's nephew. Although his talents are average, he is quite clever and has a smooth manner, so he is highly valued by Guo Tu.

So Guo Tu took him with him as his subordinate!Not many of his clansmen had good career prospects, so he brought him to his side for training and guidance.

"Uncle! Uncle! There is a way!"

Guo De happily ran to Guo Tu and shouted happily!

Guo Tu glanced at me with an unhappy expression, "How many times have I told you not to call me uncle when on business, and to be calm when things happen! You look a bit like a descendant of my Yingchuan Guo family! Read it After so many years of reading, I haven’t developed any composure at all!”

Luo Li talked about a lot of things. He didn't stop until Guo Tu felt his mouth was dry. He took a sip of tea and asked casually.

"Tell me, what good news did you say!"

Guo De just said this.

"Shu Zuo, I found a way to transport grain and grass to the eldest son!"

Upon hearing this, Guo Tu spit out half of the tea he had swallowed.He was shocked to see his nephew with a lustful expression on his face!
"Ahem, what! Why are you talking about such an important thing now!"

Ignoring the flash of displeasure on his nephew's face, Guo Tu immediately stood up anxiously and shouted, "Why don't you tell me now!"

It turns out that since the navy blocked the Yellow River waterway, Guo Tu tried to use any means to transport grain to Yuan Tan, but they all failed!

Yuan Tan's urging became more and more intense, how could Guo Tu not be in a hurry, now that he heard that his nephew had a solution, he immediately forgot the etiquette of the children of the aristocratic family mentioned earlier, and started to ask!
Guo De's face showed a proud look, "Shu Zuo, I wonder if you have heard about the Ge family ship!

I heard that they have a connection with the navy of Liaodong, and they also have enough ships to transport food and grass to the eldest son! "

There was a look of hesitation on Guo Tu's face. There was no doubt that he had been to Ge's Ship Company. He was appointed as the secretary of Qingzhou by Yuan Shao, so he naturally knew something about the situation in Qingzhou!
This boat shop is not a simple one, and its rise and fall in Qingzhou is quite legendary!
Ge's was originally a small boat shop in Qingzhou, and it was also engaged in small businesses such as fishing or selling goods. Five years ago, due to poor management, it offended a small aristocratic family, and it could not survive as an ordinary business!

It was not until four years ago that it appeared in Qingzhou again. At that time, the relationship between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Lu was still relatively normal. As a coastal terrain, Qingzhou naturally had many commercial contacts with Liaodong at that time!Gurdjieff Shipbuilding was also revived at that time!

At that time, Ge's Shipping Company undertook the trade between Dabo and Liaodong, and somehow managed to get a hold of the Zhong family in Wuji, Zhongshan. Later, after the war broke out, Gongsun Road cut off the trade, but Ge's Shipping Company was still able to obtain large quantities of goods. Since then, it has been spread in Qingzhou’s business circle that there is a certain connection between the Gurshi Shipbuilding Company and the senior officials of the Liaodong Army!
Guo Tu narrowed his eyes. In fact, when he first arrived in Qingzhou, he was a little concerned about this shipping company, but after Yuan Tan chatted with him about the relationship between this shipping company, he temporarily put his thoughts aside!

After all, except for Ge's Shipping Company, there is no caravan in Qingzhou now that has the ability to get a large amount of goods from Liaodong. Many aristocratic families in Qingzhou, including Yuan Tan, have some business contacts with Ge's Shipping Company!
He is indeed one of Yuan Shao's most trusted advisers, but how dare he touch the pockets of so many people in the Qingzhou family? You know, after Gongsun Road blocked business travel, the prices of many goods in Liaodong skyrocketed due to limited supply. Woolen cloth!

Now that Ge's Shipping Company told him that there was a way to escort grain and fodder to Yuan Tan, he did not doubt that Ge's did not have this ability!
Guo Tu glanced at Guo De strangely.

"Let me ask you, how did Ge's Trading Company know that our army needs food!"

After many inquiries, he found out that it was his nephew who took the initiative to find her!
"Hmph, did you know that you were leaking our army's secrets!"

As soon as Guo Tu said the first half of his sentence, sweat broke out on Guo De's face, but after hearing his second sentence, he put his heart in his stomach!

"But it can be considered a hit at the right time, and it just solves our army's urgent need!

We can know who is the person in charge of this Ge's shipping company! "

"It's Ge Ming, the son of the Ge family. I have already asked him to meet in the mansion tomorrow to discuss this matter!"

Guo Tu stroked his goat beard, and thought about it with some apprehensions in his heart, as he was born in a Runan family, he naturally didn't like these merchants!

However, this matter is of great importance, and it is necessary to meet the other party!
So he said to his cheap nephew, "I'm going to meet this person in person tomorrow!"

The next day, Guo Tu came to the mansion early, and Guo De led a handsome young man to him.

Guo Tu only took one look and said "Wow" in his heart, and he developed a liking for the visitor. He felt that this young man was as handsome as he was when he was young!
I saw that the person who came was well-dressed, with a face like a crown jewel, a tall figure, sharp eyebrows and starry eyes. He was really a handsome man!
