Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 33 Fight for Jizhou (1)

Han Fu's army retreated steadily in the battle with Gongsun Zan's army, and Han Fu had no choice but to retreat to his old nest - Yecheng.

Han Fu's defeat, because the road was closer than Yuan Shao, so Li Song knew the news first.

Li Song, who had been waiting for an opportunity, hurriedly sent Liu Bowen to persuade Han Fu to give up Jizhou to Li Song. It may be too late when Yuan Shao knows the news before sending an envoy.

"Military division! This lobbying for Han Fu is all due to the military division! I am waiting for news from the military division." Li Song saw Liu Bowen off.

"My lord, you can rest assured! Bowen and others will go all out to lobby Han Fu this time, and win Jizhou for my lord." Liu Bowen said with a vow.

"Then I'll be here to wish the military division a successful victory!" Li Song said, clasping his hands.

"Farewell!" Liu Bowen bowed his hands and said goodbye, and got into the carriage, "Drive!" The driver waved his whip in his hand, drove the carriage, and headed for Ye County, Jizhou under the guard of a team of elite soldiers.

Li Song watched Liu Bowen's carriage go away until he could no longer see it, "Let's go! Let's go back!" Li Song led a group of people waiting to go back.

"Are there any useful counselors and generals in Jizhou that I can use?" Li Song returned to Bingzhou Mufu and asked Pei Yuanqing. Ever since Liu Bowen asked Ying to lobby Han Fu, Li Song regarded Jizhou as his own, and naturally wanted to All the talents in Jizhou were recruited, so they ordered people to collect information in this regard early on.

"By the way! Needless to say, those under Yuan Shao's subordinates! Those in Yijizhou who have not yet become official, and those under Han Fu's subordinates, let's listen to these." Li Song sat on the main seat and added to Pei Yuanqing.

"Look, my lord! This information!" Pei Yuanqing took out a bamboo slip from the waiter behind him and spread it out in front of Li Song.

"This person is Han Fu's Biejia and Cavalry Captain Wei Jushou. He is quite capable of strategizing and commanding troops. He is a rare talent." Pei Yuanqing introduced.

"There is also this person, whose surname is Zhang, whose name is He, and whose word is Junyi. He is the military commander under Han Fu. He is brave in battle and is a rare general." Pei Yuanqing took out another bamboo slip and spread it out.

Of course, he is a rare general. Zhang He is one of Cao Wei's five good generals. He will be under his command. I have two five good generals by my side. This indirectly poachs the corner of Boss Cao again!

Li Song's mind was active, and he didn't listen to a word of what Pei Yuanqing said.

"My lord! My lord!" Pei Yuanqing woke up Li Song who was wandering outside, "Yuanqing, something has happened!" As soon as Li Song came back to his senses, he saw Pei Yuanqing staring at him.

"It's okay!" Pei Yuanqing said.

"Oh! Since it's all right, then you can continue!" Li Song reached out to pick up the bamboo slips on the table and said.

"My lord! I have finished talking about all the counselors and generals in Jizhou." Pei Yuanqing said.

Finished?Li Song looked confused, it seemed that he was too involved in thinking about things just now, and didn't listen to what he said.

"Yuanqing! In your opinion! After we take Jizhou, who among these people can be reused?" Li Song asked suddenly.

"My lord! If you ask me about the march, maybe you can say something. As for the selection of talents, you'd better wait for the military division to come back and ask the military division." Pei Yuanqing looked puzzled.

Li Song said: "Oh! You have worked hard! Go down and rest first!"

"No!" Pei Yuanqing agreed, stood up and saluted, then turned and left, closing the door behind him.

Yuan Shao received the news of Han Fu's defeat from the front, two days later than Li Song. Bohai County, the prefect's mansion, Yuan Shao, his adviser Guo Tu, and his nephew Gao Gan were discussing this matter.

"My lord! I heard that Li Song from Bingzhou also has plans for Jizhou. I'm afraid he is already on his way. Bingzhou is closer to Yecheng than us. Liu Bowen is a rare adviser."

"I'm afraid that when we arrive in Yecheng, Yijizhou may belong to Li Song. Even if we travel day and night, we may not be able to take Jizhou." Yuan Shao's nephew Chen Liuren Gao Gan said.

"Oh! How good is this? Damn Li Song plotted against my Jizhou." Yuan Shao was very angry after hearing this.

"My lord! Don't worry! Jizhou may not fall into the hands of Li Song's son, and it may not necessarily fall into the hands of the lord." Guo Tu, one of Yuan Shao's advisers, stood up and said.

"Oh! What's the best opinion if you don't know the public?" Yuan Shao calmed down and said to Guo Tu.

"Xin Ping, the counselor of Han Fu, has an old relationship with me. He has long wanted to abandon Han Fu and switch to the lord's command to contribute to the lord's great cause. We can join hands with Xin Ping to win Jizhou." Guo Tu laughed.

"But a single Xin Ping may not be able to win Jizhou. Although Han Fu is incompetent, Liu Bowen is not an idler. With a small Xin Ping, it is whimsical to think that Jizhou can be won." Gao Gan stood up. He pointed out that it is too much to take it for granted that one person wants to win Jizhou.

"Of course we can't rely on Xin Ping alone, but Xin Ping is the most important link in the layout of seizing Jizhou." Guo Tu said.

"Oh! I don't know if you have a clever plan, tell me quickly." At first, after hearing what his nephew Gao Gan said, Yuan Shao felt that it would be difficult for Xin Ping alone to accomplish anything, but after listening to Guo Tu's words, he felt his eyes brighten.

"My lord! Stay safe and don't be impatient! When Feng Ji and Xun Chen arrive, I have a clever plan to present, so that my lord can capture Yizhou." Guo Tu laughed.

"Oh! Why don't you hurry up and invite Feng Ji and Xun Chen to come and discuss it?" Yuan Shao smiled after hearing this, and got up to invite the two in person.

"My lord! Be safe and don't be impatient! When I came here, I had already sent people to invite these two people to come. Now counting the time, it should be here." Guo Tu hastily stopped Yuan Shao and said.

While they were talking, Feng Ji and Xun Chen came to the door and said to the guard: "Please inform me, Feng Ji and Xun Chen are asking to see the Lord!"

"My lords, please wait here. The younger one will report to your lords!" One of the guards said, then turned around and went inside to report to Yuan Shao.

"Report! My lord! The two adults, Feng Ji and Xun Chen, are asking to see you!" As soon as Guo Tu finished speaking, the guards outside the door came in to report.

"Hurry up!" Yuan Shao said excitedly.

"No!" The guard hurried out and brought Feng Ji and Xun Chen to see Yuan Shao.

"My lord!" Feng Ji and Xun Chen bowed to each other and saluted.

"Yuan Tu, you don't need to be polite! Please sit down!" Yuan Shao said with a smile, and made a gesture of invitation to Feng Ji and Xun Chen.

"Thank you, my lord!" After the two thanked each other, they sat down.

"You must already know the situation in Jizhou now, so I won't talk nonsense."

"Originally, it was easy to capture Jizhou, but Li Song jumped out halfway, ruining my big business, which is very annoying." When Yuan Shao mentioned Li Song, his teeth itched with anger.

"I heard from Gongze that you have a clever plan to help me capture Jizhou. I don't know what kind of clever plan it is?" Yuan Shao asked.

"It's not a clever plan, I just have some ideas." Feng Ji and Xun Chen looked at each other, Feng Ji said, and Yuan Shao was overjoyed after hearing this.
