An urgent report from Jizhou made Pan Feng let go of the matter in Youzhou as soon as possible.

Compared with what was said in the letter, the migration matters in Youzhou are really not a big deal.

According to the letter, half a month ago, Chang'an suddenly sent a soldier to attack Shangdang County with lightning speed. The county magistrate Zhang Yang was killed by the enemy general while fighting against the enemy and eventually lost the city.

The letter explained the actual facts of Shangdang County’s loss in a few words, but exposed another very serious problem - Xu Rong was trapped in Taiyuan County!

Originally, Taiyuan, Shangdang and Hanoi were connected together, which would be the best channel for Jizhou to march into Bingzhou or Renshi Sili area, but this channel has now been cut off from it in half, which directly led to Xu Rong, who was located in Taiyuan, disconnecting from Jizhou.

Now that Han Fu wants to contact Xu Rong, he must cross the rugged Taihang Mountains. As for delivering supplies, there is no need to think about it. The Taihang Mountains, which are about to face the cold winter, are not a joke. In the past, the Black Mountains, who were hiding in the Taihang Mountains, were only active on the periphery. I don’t know how many people would die if I really arrived in the depths of the Taihang Mountains.

As a result, the connection between Jizhou and Taiyuan was almost paralyzed, but thankfully, the surprise attack sent by Chang'an did not attack Taiyuan. This is the best news so far.

However, anyone with discerning eyes knows that it is impossible to say that Chang'an has no idea about Taiyuan in this case. The reason why they have not taken action yet is just waiting for an opportunity.

When Pan Feng received the letter, Han Fu had already sent Qu Yi to the Hanoi area. On the one hand, he restrained the enemy troops of Shangdang on the other hand, he also planned to set out from Hanoi to find out the news from Taiyuan.

All these are mentioned in the letter, and there is no detailed explanation in terms of details, but Pan Feng was still anxious.

If he remembered correctly, Lu Bu should have dealt with Ma Teng in Xiliang. Although they had already been stalemate, it would definitely not be a matter of overnight Lu Bu wanted to pull the show from the west to the east. Perhaps when Pan Feng led the army to the expedition of Youzhou, Lu Bu made an action.

In addition, what is going on with Xu Rong now?

Xu Rong, who had 20,000 troops, could not remain indifferent to this. Even if he could not defeat the enemy army that captured Shangdang, he could at least send a few people to convey the news, right? But so far, there was no news about Taiyuan, just like Xu Rong was completely sealed in Taiyuan City.

Now Cao Cao, who is in Yanzhou south, is developing and strengthening his own power. Pan Feng wanted to clean up the Xianbei in the northern part of Youzhou and then turned to deal with Cao Cao who was close at hand. However, before Cao Cao could not control himself, Lu Bu could no longer hold back!

In this way, Pan Feng had to go to Lu Bubanban next to Cao Cao, hoping that Cao Cao would not have an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Half a day later, 20,000 cavalry were ready, and Zhao Yun and Yan Liang and others had already packed their luggage.

The migration work in Youzhou is still in progress, so Pan Feng did not take all the cavalry away, but left Gao Lan and 7,000 troops to cooperate with Sima Lang's migration work.

After everything was ready, Pan Feng waved his hand and led an army of 20,000 to Jizhou.

......

In Gaoyi Prefecture.

Han Fu and a group of senior executives were here, and everyone looked a little solemn, because just now, the military situation of the Xiliang army that had a surprise attack on Shangdang County had been discovered in front of him. The chief general was Zhang Liao, the general under Lu Bu. Although Zhang Liao was not famous, Qu Yi, who was stationed in Hanoi, was suppressed after fighting with Zhang Liao.

Who is Qu Yi? That is the absolute heavyweight general in the Jizhou army. Even if Qu Yi's ability is not in martial arts, it is rare for generals who can make him suffer in frontal battles, especially those who are famous generals like Zhang Liao who create the Western Liang Army.

Although Qu Yi had some entrusted the earth to leave the military formation, that battle still gave everyone a new impression of the name Zhang Liao.

"Lord, that Zhang Liao is so brave, it is probably difficult for General Qu Yi to defeat him." Ju Su also read the battle report from the front, and was frowning and analyzing.

"With General Qu Yi's temper, I'm afraid he won't admit defeat. If the Duke is right, then there might be danger in Hanoi." Tian Feng said.

Tian Feng, who is now the steward of Jizhou, not only has extraordinary political abilities, but also often puts forward his own unique insights in wars, so Han Fu will not leave him behind when discussing military affairs.

Listening to Ju Su and Tian Feng’s analysis of this battle report, Han Fu was immediately panicked.

"If Zicheng is defeated, will our army's gateway in Hanoi be opened? At that time, not only Hanoi will be trapped in the hands of the enemy, but also Weijun and other places will be in danger. What should I do?" Han Fu asked everyone.

After Wei County, Zhao State was the State, and after Zhao State was Changshan, and Gaoyi was located in Changshan. At that time, the enemy would take Gaoyi directly with one horse and a flat river. Will his lord run or run?

Han Fu trusted Ju Su and Tian Feng very much. Since they both said that if Qu Yi went to war recklessly, he would probably be defeated.

Should I prepare my luggage first?

Han Fu's random thoughts and Ju Su naturally didn't know about Han Fu's words, but Ju Su had different opinions on Han Fu's words.

"Don't worry, lord, even if General Qu Yi is defeated by Zhang Liao, our army still has 40,000 troops in Gaoyi City. If the enemy dares to come, we just need to defend the city and wait for General Pan to come back from Youzhou. I wish he or she would not make any waves." Ju Su said.

Hearing this, Han Fu let out a long sigh. In desperation, he almost forgot about Pan Feng who was rushing back.

"By the way, where is Zihe now?" Han Fu asked.

An official in charge of communications below stood up and bowed to Han Fu: "Report to the lord, the deputy commander has arrived in Zhongshan and can arrive in Gaoyi in three days at the latest."

Han Fu looked at the man, but he was a newly-established deputy Qianhu in the newly formed Jinyiwei. Because of his special nature, Han Fu made an exception and called him when discussing matters.

It has been a while since the establishment of Pan Feng. The Jinyiwei forces have now fully controlled Gaoyi City and are expanding to surrounding cities.

Now all the officials in the Jinyiwei have been selected. This deputy Qianhu is the highest position unexpectedly except for Pan Feng and others. The other branches are almost all basic officials such as small flags and general flags. Like ordinary hundred households, they can already take charge of the intelligence supply of a city.

Han Fu was actually a little suspicious of the intelligence capabilities of the Jinyiwei. After all, the Jinyiwei who was surrounded by Taiyuan has not yet found effective information. This may be related to the fact that the Jinyiwei has not yet fully expanded, so now it is just that Han Fu is paying some attention but not too much attention.

Of course, if the Jinyiwei cannot answer the simple questions like Pan Feng will come back in a few days, Han Fu will have to consider whether to remove the institution.

When Han Fu heard the deputy Qianhu say that Pan Feng was back in three days, he finally fell down.

"Since Zihe is about to come back, there is no need to worry about Zhang Liao's army. Now I should write a letter to Qu Yi to tell him not to act rashly, especially not to go out of the city to meet the enemy!" Han Fu said.

"I will write a letter here, so please rest assured, lord." Ju Su said.

Han Fu nodded and finally felt relieved.

"You Jinyiwei can send you all out now. You must find out the information from Taiyuan. We should try to prepare the information for Zihe. I believe that Zihe's ability will definitely give Zhang Liao a good memory." When it comes to Pan Feng, Han Fu has a kind of confidence.

"No!" Deputy Qianhu responded in a deep voice.

......

When Jizhou mobilized all the people for this sudden situation, Zhang Liao and others located in Shangdang City were very relaxed.

Because the raid was very secretive, Zhang Liao spent almost no effort to take Shangdang County, and he only spent some tricks in the battle he fought with Qu Yi before.

As a general and brother whom Lu Bu relied on, there is no need to say more about Zhang Liao's ability. Among the Lu Bu's forces today, Zhang Liao is second only to Lu Bu in terms of status and ability. Even Li Ru was shorter than Zhang Liao during his battle.

Of course, Li Ru was not unwilling to accept this situation. Compared to when Dong Zhuo was in power, his power was much greater.

Before entering Beijing, Dong Zhuo was indeed obedient to Li Ru, the only counselor. As a result, Li Ru did not let Dong Zhuo trust and misappropriately helped Dong Zhuo control all the rights in Luoyang, which was something that Dong Zhuo dared not dream of in his previous dreams.

But Dong Zhuo's ambition was much greater than that of Lu Bu, so that after taking control of the power of Luoyang, Dong Zhuo no longer obeyed Li Ruyan, and sometimes even scolded him. Like Wang Yun's beauty trick, Li Ru had long seen it, but Dong Zhuo couldn't listen and took his own destruction.

Now, there is no such trouble when doing things under Lu Bu.

In Lu Bu now, Li Ru saw Dong Zhuo's figure when he was young. The two were both active and enterprising and full of ambition. The difference is that Dong Zhuo's ambition stopped at a Luoyang and a mere puppet emperor, while Lu Bu's ambition was facing the whole world.

After Dong Zhuo took power in Luoyang, Li Ru could not be in power, but the power of the whole world would be too abundant to be divided into the hands of the senior executives in the Lu Bu group.

Even though Lu Bu has not taken charge of the world, Lu Bu never restricts Li Ru's rights. This is why Li Ru can calmly watch Zhang Liao and others' status gradually improve, because he knows that as long as Lu Bu doesn't get the world for a day, he must obey his opinions and suggestions.

This is enough, because whenever Li Ru comes up with ideas, from Lu Bu to Xiaozhang, he will do his best to cooperate with him. Just like Zhang Liao at this moment, although his status is above Li Ru, after Li Ru made arrangements, he still came to the established location and seized the unprepared Shangdang City.

After these days of getting along, Zhang Liao's initial disdain for Li Ru gradually turned into his current attention.

During this surprise attack on Shangdang, Zhang Liao acted completely according to Li Ru's established steps. As a result, each step developed step in sequence as if it was arranged by Li Ru. In the end, he successfully captured the city and became the outpost for the Chang'an Army to attack Jizhou.

In fact, as early as three months ago, Li Ru and Lu Bu gradually gave up their support for the western battlefield and turned their target to Jizhou in the northeast.

Li Ru and Lu Bu made this decision out of helplessness.

Since the attack on Xiliang, the Chang'an Army has been fighting attributable to the initial unstoppable momentum, and almost all the time afterwards have been fighting attributable wars with Ma Teng and others. This war of attributable wars are undoubtedly extremely fatal for Lu Bu, who had just stabilized the situation in the Sili area. After all, the local people's livelihood has not yet been restored. After a long time, what should he fight with others?

On the other hand, Ma Teng and others were forced to the last moment, giving up the dangerous place would be like self-destruction. Therefore, even if they were in trouble, they had to grit their teeth and persevere. In this way, neither side could defeat the other side without wasting supplies.

So after careful consideration, Lu Bu still followed Li Ru's advice and pointed his finger at Jizhou in the northeast.

The reason why Li Ru proposed such a sword intent was because Jizhou has developed so fast in recent years. It was so fast that Li Ru was shocked when he learned about it.

As the first of the Jiuzhou, Jizhou is a place with abundant material resources. Now there are various agricultural tools improved by Pan Feng and a series of policies that benefit the people issued by Han Fu. With these two blessings, not only the local population of Jizhou has increased year by year, but also the number of refugees who have fled from surrounding counties has also increased. I heard that Yanzhou has set up checkpoints in the border areas to prevent large-scale loss of the people.

If these changes in Jizhou shocked Li Ru, then the news that Pan Feng defeated Gongsun Zan and captured Youzhou really made Li Ru unable to sleep or eat.

Land, population, property, people’s hearts!

Jizhou has almost all the conditions for fighting for hegemony in troubled times. Such an enemy could not allow him to develop safely with him. So after a series of arrangements, Li Ru launched the first plan for Jizhou, and the executor of the plan was Zhang Liao, the general.

At this time, in the government office of Shangdang City, Zhang Liao was taking his generals to drink and eat meat and was very unhappy.

After drinking for three rounds of dishes and five flavors, the atmosphere in the venue gradually became hot.

"Let's have a drink for the victory of the general's flag!" a general raised his wine cup and said loudly.

The generals around responded, and Zhang Liao also drank a cup with everyone with a smile.

After drinking, everyone put down the wine cup and heard another general sigh: "I have seen Li Zhonglang's ability these days. If it weren't for his guidance, Shangdang City would have to do something."

Everyone nodded in approval when they heard this, and even Zhang Liao also admitted: "It is indeed Li Zhonglang's ability. You and I can only exert some foot strength at most. However, Li Zhonglang also told us that we can have a small collision with the Jizhou army these days, but once Pan Feng appears, he must defend the city. At that time, you will have to work together to implement Li Zhonglang's plan."

"Don't worry, General, Li Zhonglang is such a brilliant plan, how dare I not obey?" Someone said with a smile, and others responded with laughter.
