After Ju Su heard this, how could this be done? Gongsun Du from Liaodong has become king independently. That is a thief. If we want to join forces with the thief, it would be strange if we don’t be ridiculed by the world. "My lord, there are risks in the alliance with Gongsun Du. Gongsun Du is a thief now and has left my great man. Once the lord and he are all together, what will the world think of the lord? This is a great disadvantage to the lord's reputation. Please think twice."

Feng Ji thought for a long time and felt that only by uniting Gongsun Du to defeat Lu Ning, otherwise there would be no better way. "Lord, now the princes in the world are separating, who still takes the Han court seriously? Although Gongsun Du is independent and king, what is the difference between this and the separating princes? I also agree with Gongze's opinion. We must send people to persuade Gongsun Du and let him take the opportunity to send troops to Youbeiping and restrain the army in Daxiong Youzhou. Otherwise, our army will fight on two sides and will be difficult to bear the attack of Daxiong's army."

After hearing this, Yuan Shao felt it made sense and immediately said, "Who will go on the envoy to Gongsun Du in Liaodong?"

After a long time no one answered, Xu You looked at everyone and said to Yuan Shao: "Lord, if no one goes, then I'll go."

Yuan Shao said: "Ziyuan goes, don't worry, you will definitely convince Gongsun Du to send troops."

Xu You said: "Lord, I will do my best."

Yuan Shao said again: "Then how should our army's defense system be established?"

Shen Pei thought about it and knew that Gongsun Du was not likely to send troops, so he must not place his hope on Gongsun Du. "Lord, whether Gongsun Du sent troops or not, our army must defend Bohai well. Xindu and Julu. Once Bohai is lost, you must defend Qinghe immediately, otherwise you will not be able to resist the attack of Lu Ning's army. Julu and Qinghe are steep terrain, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Xin is a gathering place for our army's food and grass, so these three places are very important."

Guo Tu said: "Zhengnan is right. Julu, Qinghe and Xin are indeed very important, but Yecheng is more important. If Yecheng is lost, Jizhou will be basically finished. Therefore, there must be a large number of soldiers in Yecheng. The focus of Big Bear's attack should be Yecheng. For the city defense, more mechanisms and traps must be arranged, and various cities guarding equipment, stones, wooden sticks, tincture oil, bows and arrows must be prepared very well."

Dong Zhao thought, it would be fine to defend the city alone, what should I do if the supply of the 200,000 troops in the city be done? What a joke. "Lord, if a 200,000 troops were set up in Ye City, there would be so much food and grass support. The food and grass in Ye City are now problematic for three months. If you want to stick to it for a long time, you must transfer food and grass from other places now."

Xun Chen thought, to go there to transport grain and grass. Now the food and grass in Jizhou are not very sufficient, and now it is time to be too old. Where can I go to adjust the grain and grass? "Lord, it is probably difficult to transfer grain and grass. There is no food and grass everywhere now, so I can only wait for the wheat to be harvested before there is a large amount of food and grass. Besides, the 200,000 army and the people in the city will consume a lot of food and grass."

Ju Su thought, you think beautifully. Since Big Bear wants to attack Jizhou, will he still give us time to harvest wheat? Isn’t this wishful thinking? "Lord, if you want to stick to Yecheng, you must collect food and grass now. If you say you are waiting for the wheat to be harvested, that’s a nonsense. Big Bear will not give us such a long preparation time. He will definitely attack before the wheat is not ripe, unless Big Bear suddenly gets watered, but his men will not have all their heads."

Yuan Shao glanced at his subordinates and found that Chen Lin was the only one among the civil servants before he could speak, and said, "Kong Zhang, why don't you speak? Do you have any good ideas?"

Chen Lin was studying Lu Ning and his friends "Jincheng Book Garden". How did Jincheng Daily come up? Suddenly, he heard Yuan Shao call his name and said with a flushed face: "Lord, I don't understand military affairs at all. I don't have any idea. But I think how Lu Ning and his friends came up with these newspapers and magazines. This doesn't seem to be handwritten, but it's very realistic. I really can't figure it out and can't figure it out."

Yuan Shao glared at Chen Lin and said, "Everyone, let's make a separate preparation."

Of course, the army of Lu Ning could not give Yuan Shao enough preparation time. The army of Lu Ning launched an attack on Jizhou at the same time in mid-March. Zhao Yun, Lu Su, Ergou led 30,000 troops out of Chaoge and went straight to Liyang and Tangxian. When the army of Lu Ning arrived, they all opened the city gates and surrendered. In this way, Zhao Yun and his army threatened Yecheng. Lu Ning and Guo Jia, Xu Huang, Gao Shun, and Dian Wei also led 30,000 troops out of Huguan to advance to Yecheng. There was no obstacle from Yuan Shao's army along the way, and they also met with Zhao Yun and his army in Yecheng.

During the attack of Jizhou, the first one to achieve victory was the 20,000 army led by Zhang He. Zhang He left Zhuo County and attacked Bohai City. The defenders in the city were Yuan Shao's second son Yuan Xi, General Gao Lan and adviser Xin Ping, and the two brothers of Xin Pi. Bohai was Yuan Shao's old nest, and Yuan Shao left behind a 60,000 army to garrison.

Yuan Shao's stupid son Yuan Xi heard that Zhang He had just led 20,000 troops to attack Nanpi, Bohai City, and immediately came to his senses, saying that 20,000 troops wanted to attack, wasn't that asking for death? Yuan Xi was about to lead a large army to fight, and his adviser Xin Ping was persuaded, so he could only let Yuan Xi lead the general Gao Lan and lead a 50,000 army out of the city to fight. Xin Ping and Xin Pi brothers led 10,000 troops to defend the city.

The two armies were fighting, Yuan Xi asked Gao Lan to fight, and Zhang He did not want to fight alone. This was the rule of Lu Ning's army, but when he saw Gao Lan go out to fight, Zhang He immediately changed his mind and went out to fight Gao Lan himself. Zhang He was originally not at the same level against Gao Lan, and Gao Lan was much worse than Zhang He, but the two fought back and forth in front of the formation for hundreds of rounds.

Zhang He and Gao Lan said while fighting, "Brother Zhiqing, have you forgotten, brother, why don't you work hard under Yuan Shao? You'd better come to my elder brother. Didn't I send you a letter before? Why didn't my brother receive it?"

Gao Lan also said while fighting: "Brother Zhang, I received your letter, but I think since I want to surrender to your brother, I have to have a gift for the meeting. This is better than if I have a naked hand."

Zhang He was also very happy after hearing this. He and Gao Lan were actually very good friends when they were under Han Fu. In recent years, Zhang He often wrote to him to like him. However, Gao Lan felt that such a like would not attract Lu Ning's attention, so he wanted to have some meeting gifts. Gao Lan told Zhang He that when their army retreated tomorrow, he would give up the city gate and ask Zhang He to wait for good news. He would present Nanpi City. The two of them made a fake fight for more than a hundred rounds, and the soldiers on both sides could not tell the name. Then both sides withdrew their troops back to the camp.
