Zhou Cheng led his army, and after crossing the Yellow River, they went north along the river.

After Yuan Shao, Han Fu and others gathered their defeated troops, they also followed him northward. However, this time they did not dare to pursue Zhou Cheng and chose to follow him.

Zhou Cheng's army carried a large number of prisoners, women, people, and a large amount of baggage. It was not advancing very fast, and the army stretched for more than ten miles.

Even so, Yuan Shao and others did not dare to make a rash raid again.

……

In Yecheng, the general guarding the city was Qu Yi, and there were 15,000 county soldiers in the city.

After Zhou Cheng crossed the river and entered Wei County, Qu Yi received the news. At the same time, he also learned the news of the defeat of Yuan Shao, Han Fu and others.

Qu Yi looked down on Han Fu and Yuan Shao.

Especially Yuan Shao's various stupid decisions in the battle against Dong aroused Qu Yi's contempt.

However, Quyi also has the helplessness of Quyi.

Qu Yi believed that he was extraordinary and had the ability to become a hero in troubled times.

However, it is not that easy to become a prince with a legitimate name.

Unless appointed by the court, they can only rebel like a moth thief, or rebel like Zhang Chun, Han Sui, and Bian Zhang.

Just becoming a rebel will almost never end well.

Zhang Jiao's three brothers, except Zhang Jiao who died of illness and Guangzong, Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang, were all beheaded.

Zhang Chun was killed by Gongsun Zan, and Bian Zhang was killed by Han Sui.

News came from Liangzhou that Huangfu Song had defeated Han Sui, but was on his way back to Luoyang with his troops.

Qu Yi was unwilling to be inferior to others, and he did not have the capital to rebel, so he could only swallow his cowardice first.

At this time, a scout rushed over

"Open the door quickly, there is a letter from the Governor."

The scout shouted loudly.

Qu Yi said:"Lower the drawbridge and open the city gate."

After the city gate was opened, the scout quickly handed the letter to Qu Yi.

Qu Yi quickly read the letter.

In the letter, Han Fu asked Qu Yi to strictly guard Ye City and not to go out to fight.

"No cowards."

Qu Yi snorted coldly and then sent the letter.

Qu Yi has always wanted a chance to prove himself, but never gave him a chance.

If he can defeat Zhou Cheng and break the myth of Zhou Defi, then Qu Yi will definitely become famous all over the world.

……

Zhou Cheng's army and horses marched along the Yellow River, and their speed was not very fast.

Nanpi is also a big city, and Gao Gan is a famous general in Hebei. Even if Xu Huang faces Gao Lan, he is not sure of victory.

What's more, with Zhang He on the side and Yan Liang leading troops to reinforce, it would be too difficult to storm Nanpi.

And Zhou Cheng never thought he could break through Nanpi.

According to Jia Xu's custom-made battle plan, Xu Huang's army only restrained and attracted Yuan Shao's attention.

Therefore, Xu Huang has completed the task of containing and attracting.

Zhou Cheng suddenly asked:"Teacher, I want to attract millions of people from Qingzhou to go north to farm and raise troops. What can you do to help me?"

When Jia Xu heard the word 'teacher', he felt uncomfortable all over, but He thought for a while and replied:"My Lord, if you want to lead the people of Qingzhou to the north, you must pass through Jizhou and Youzhou. Yuan Shao, Han Fu, Liu Yu and others will not let your wish come true, even if Gongsun Bogui and Lord Gongsun Well, I don't want my lord to grow stronger."

Tian Chou agreed:"Chou also considered this, but if we send our army south and occupy Jizhou, we will be besieged by the heroes. Although my lord is brave, he will be hated by aristocratic families and powerful families, and it will not last long.."

Tian Chou's words were already very straightforward.

Zhou Cheng was born a moth thief. Even if he joined forces with Dong Zhuo and was awarded an official title, his background could not be changed.

The princes who occupy Jizhou can be Yuan Shao or Cao Cao, but they cannot be Zhou Cheng.

Because aristocratic families and wealthy families don’t recognize him at all.

Unless Zhou Cheng slaughters all these aristocratic families.

However, aristocratic families and wealthy families are intertwined in the local area, with tribes and local heroes.

If we really have to deal with it, we will have enemies on all sides.

With Zhou Cheng's current strength, it would be quite difficult to occupy Jizhou.

Zhou Cheng said:"I also know, but I believe that man can conquer heaven, and what I want to do will definitely come true."

Jia Xu believed that Zhou Cheng was a man who kept his word.

Moreover, the duty of a counselor is to provide advice when encountering difficulties.

Jia Xu said:"My lord has a good relationship with Gongsun Bogui, which can help him deal with Liu Bo'an. If there is chaos in Youzhou, it will not be difficult for the people of Qingzhou to cross Youzhou."

Zhou Cheng nodded and said,"I have asked Gongsun Bogui Gui formed a private alliance and was willing to help Gongsun Bogui deal with Liu Boan, but……"

Jia Xu said:"My lord does not want all of Youzhou to fall into the hands of Gongsun Bogui."

Just as Gongsun Zan would not lend a road to Zhou Cheng, so that Zhou Cheng could successfully attract the people of Qingzhou and go north out of the fortress.

Zhou Cheng would not let Gongsun Zan get Youzhou easily. If Gongsun Zan got the entire Youzhou, without Liu Yu's pressure, he would definitely plot Jizhou and Qingzhou, and even his relationship with Zhou Cheng would change from an ally to a competitor.

Therefore, the most ideal situation is to allow Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu to continue civil strife.

When snipes and clams fight, only the fisherman can profit.

Jia Xu said:"The fourth and third prince of the Yuan family, Han Fu is a disciple of Yuan Wei. Yuan Benchu ​​decided to capture Jizhou. Why don't my lord send an envoy to Han Fu to clarify the interests and sow discord between them? With my lord's bravery and my lord's military superiority, I can temporarily protect Han Fu." , so that the people of Qingzhou can enter Jizhou via the Qinghe River. Then send the envoy and Gongsun Bogui to take Shanggu, lead Gongsun Bogui to attack Liu Bo'an, provoke a war in Youzhou, and use Shanggu to get out of the fortress."

As an envoy to Han Fu?

This was something Zhou Cheng didn't expect.

But, can it succeed?

Jia Xu said:"Han Fu is timid and mediocre by nature. He has occupied Jizhou for many years and will not give up his power in Jizhou. My lord only needs to send people who can speak well and use coercion and inducement to persuade him."
