Chapter 231

So, after dispersing the last remnants of the army, Zhang Ji collected the soldiers and horses, began to clean the battlefield, and collected the spoils of war.

Because Yuan Shao left in a hurry, most of the rear army was a heavy troop, with countless food, weapons, armor, and tents.

Zhang Ji was overjoyed, these things were what generals like him loved the most.

A sergeant who escaped with his life caught up with Yuan Shao of the former army and reported: "My lord, General Jiang Qi was killed by Zhang Xiu, and he lost a lot of luggage!"

Yuan Shao was furious and wanted to return his troops to cover up the attack, but Guo Tu hurriedly stopped him.

"My lord, it's too late to return to the army and retreat from the enemy at this time. It's better to return to Jizhou earlier, so as not to change things." Guo Tu persuaded.

Yuan Shao gritted his teeth and said: "Zhang Ji is really deceiving people too much. He blocked our army from marching west for no reason, and allowed his nephew to kill my general. This tone is really hard to swallow!"

Guo Tu persuaded again: "My lord, these are all ordered by Zhao Qian. Zhang Yan in Heishan and Tian Feng in Youzhou must have been ordered by Zhao Qian to violate our Jizhou."

"Zhao Qian, you and I are irreconcilable!" Yuan Shao shouted towards the sky.

Guo Tu continued: "My lord, the most urgent task at the moment is to go back to Jizhou to stabilize the situation, and then rectify the soldiers and horses, raise the soldiers of Jizhou and Qingzhou, and fight Zhao Qian!"

Yuan Shao took a deep breath, nodded, and led the army away.

It was also fortunate that Yuan Shao only brought one counselor, Guo Tu, with him this time. If there was another counselor, if he disagreed with Guo Tu, then Yuan Shao would probably fall into difficulty in choosing again.

Moreover, Yuan Shao has a very powerful skill, that is, he can always choose the worst one from various suggestions.

Zhang Ji's army collected the spoils and transported them back to Hanoi City by car. Afterwards, they wrote a letter, and Su Huan personally took it to see Zhao Qian.

Hanoi was not far from Luoyang, so Su Huan stepped on his horse and came to Zhao Qian's tent that day.

Zhao Qian looked at the dusty look, and said with a smile: "Zhongting, didn't I ask you to go to Hanoi to assist Zhang Ji in blocking Yuan Shao? Why did you come here? Did something happen?"

Su Huan shook his head and said: "My lord, Yuan Shao was blocked by me and General Zhang, and has withdrawn his troops back to Jizhou."

Zhao Qian raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Go back to Jizhou? Yuan Shao's soldiers are strong and powerful. Is that why you are so cowardly?"

"It's not the reason, it's just that I use tactics to retreat." Su Huan replied.

Zhao Qian became interested and asked, "What strategy did the court use?"

Therefore, Su Huan informed Zhao Qian of his request to Zhang Yan from Heishan and Tian Feng from Youzhou to Chen Bing on the Jizhou border.

Zhao Qian laughed loudly after hearing this, and said: "I am very relieved that the Chinese court can use tactics instead of fighting hard, but I don't know that going to war is the way to win."

"Not only that, Yuan Shao's general Jiang Qi was also assassinated by General Zhang's nephew Zhang Xiu!" Su Huan continued.

Hearing this, Zhao Qian was taken aback, and said, "What? The general who killed Yuan Shao?"

Su Huan nodded and said: "That's right, we chased and attacked Yuan Shao while he was in a hurry to retreat, but Jiang Qi came to stop him and was killed by Zhang Xiu."

Zhao Qian couldn't help but smiled wryly. He didn't plan to turn against Yuan Shao yet. His original plan was to use the emperor to stir up discord between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, so that he could reap the benefits of the fisherman.

But now it seems that Zhang Xiu killed Jiang Qi, and this beam is considered to be settled. I am afraid that the next step is to deal with Yuan Shao.

However, after thinking about it, Zhao Qian has nothing to fear. Now he wants soldiers, generals, counselors, territory, so why be afraid of Yuan Shaozai?
If Yuan Shao knows the fun, let him be happy for a few more days, if he dares to challenge himself, then Zhao Qian will not be polite!

Seeing Zhao Qian's face change, Su Huan asked with a smile: "Master, did we do something wrong?"

Zhao Qian looked at Su Huan's appearance, laughed, and said, "What's wrong? If Yuan Shao refuses to accept it, just come and find this general!"

Xu Chu beside him also laughed loudly, and said: "Zhongting, Yuan Shao is nothing more than a mere Yuan Shao, what's the point of worrying about it, wait until Lu Bu is destroyed, and then deal with him."

Zhao Qian raised his hand to interrupt Xu Chu, and said: "Zhongting, you are exhausted from the long journey, and go to rest. Zhongkang ordered to go and attack Lu Bu tomorrow after meeting with General Xu Rong and Sergeant Baibo!"

"Order!"

The next day, Zhao Qian's three-way army rounded up in the north of Luoyang City. After Xu Rong finished seeing the ceremony, Han Xian and Li Le came to pay homage again.

When they saw Zhao Qian, Han Xian and Li Le were also surprised. Although they had heard that the general was young and promising, he turned out to be so young.

However, the two did not dare to be negligent, and hurriedly got off their horses and knelt down to pay homage.

Zhao Qian glanced at the two of them and said, "You two were bandits before. This general will forgive you for your crimes. You should try your best to serve the country to offset your previous crimes. If you make meritorious service, this general will reward you."

"Thank you, General!" The two hurriedly responded.

Zhao Qian then led an army to Luoyang City, ready to attack Lu Bu.

Besides, when Lu Bu was in Luoyang City, he thought it would be Yuan Shao who came, but he didn't want to welcome Zhao Qian's three-way army, so he couldn't help being a little surprised.

However, Lu Bu was confident that Luoyang had a high wall and a thick city, some time ago he had stored some food and grass around, and there was also the danger of Luoshui, so he felt at ease.

Gao Shun came to see Lu Bu and said, "Zhao Qian's army has just arrived, so you can go ahead and attack while the camp is still undecided, and wait for work at leisure, or you may win."

Lu Bu shook his head and said, "This Marquis is newly defeated today, and there are not enough soldiers, so don't go out lightly, wait for them to attack, and then attack them, and force them into Luoshui, then the matter will be completed."

Not long after, Zhao Qian's large army camp was completed, stretching for several miles. Lu Bu waited and watched from the city.

Gao Shun was also a little distressed, and said again: "Marquis Wen, it is better to divide our troops. Xuan Gao and I stationed infantry and cavalry outside the city. If Zhao Qian attacks Marquis Wen, we will lead our troops to attack him on the back; Hou Wei was rescued later, and formed horns. Like this, in ten days, the food can be used up, and it can be broken in one fell swoop!"

Lu Bu frowned, and just about to agree to Gao Shun's proposal, Zang Ba said: "Boping's words are reasonable, and Marquis Wen should be like this. I didn't listen to Boping's words before, and I lost the opportunity. Now I must not hesitate."

When Lu Bu heard this, he couldn't help being furious, and said: "There are not many soldiers, it is better to stick to it than to go far away, so there is no need to say any more."

Gao Shun was in a hurry, and said again: "Marquis Wen, if you don't want to divide the army, you can lead the elite soldiers to cut off the food road. If the army has no food, its mind will be confused. This is a great plan!"

Lu Bu flatly refused, saying, "Zhao Qian is full of tricks, so why is this not his trick? It's better not to move. Two generals, if you're fine, go patrol the city."

Gao Shun and Zang Ba had no choice but to retreat, Zang Ba sighed and said: "I think this time, we will die without a place to die."

Gao Shun also had a sad face, and said: "Do your best and obey the destiny."
