Gongsun Zan arrived one day earlier than Pan Feng expected, but this did not exceed Pan Feng's earliest expectations.

Even Pan Feng expected Gongsun Zan's division of troops.

This time, Gongsun Zan brought an army of 30,000. I wonder if it was because he was afraid of Pan Feng's strength or for other reasons, there were only 10,000 troops coming to Wen'an, and the generals leading the troops were only Yan Gang, one of Gongsun Zan's right-hand assistants.

Speaking of which, it is not the first time that Pan Feng and Yan Gang have met. When the princes were confronting Dong, Yan Gang had met several times with Pan Feng.

Of course, Yan Gang's reputation is completely incomparable to Pan Feng, and it is far from that in terms of force. Yan Gang understands all these.

This time he was sent to Wen'an by Gongsun Zan, and he had no intention of making a contribution. For Yan Gang, being able to keep Pan Feng in Wen'an was his greatest contribution. As for Gongsun Zan's other two routes, they were the real main attacking troops.

Today, Jizhou is particularly empty. There are hundreds of defenders in the prefectures and counties, and only more than a hundred people are the few. Only some prefectures such as Gaoyi can have more than a thousand defenders.

But even if there are a thousand defenders, how long can the defenders who have been separated from battle formations resist Gongsun Zan's army?

Gongsun Zan's idea of ​​entering Jizhou this time was very clear. He was not greedy. As long as he could occupy two counties or even three counties in Jizhou, it would be enough. Let Yuan Shao fight for the rest. If Yuan Shao and Han Fu fight each other and suffer both losses, it would not be too late for him to consider getting more.

It was precisely because of this plan that Gongsun Zan did not choose to kill Pan Feng's army head-on. He just needed to hold on. The remaining Jizhou mainland would not let him gallop at will?

As a brave general, Gongsun Zan also had a very clear mind. Before he set off, he found out the music department that Pan Feng led this time.

They are all cavalry!

The cavalry was very familiar to Gongsun Zan. The cavalry he was able to win the title of General Baima was because of the cavalry, and the white horse Yicong under his command was even more elite among the cavalry.

This time he sent Yan Gang over and asked him to bring Baima Yicong over. This time, the main force that restrained Pan Feng's cavalry was Baima Yicong.

Although the number of three thousand white horses is less than that of Pan Feng's 5,000 cavalry, Gongsun Zan knew that Pan Feng's cavalry must be a new recruit that had been formed soon, because the old cavalry in Jizhou suffered heavy losses when he was fighting against Dong. Now these cavalry will not last more than half a year from recruitment to training!

The cavalry that has only been half a year is not worthy of the word "elite"!

On the contrary, all three thousand white horses were good at riding and shooting, and were truly elite cavalry. If the two sides met, Gongsun Zan could be sure that Pan Feng's five thousand cavalry would suffer heavy losses.

The premise is that Pan Feng is willing to go out of the city to fight!

As for Pan Feng's courage, Gongsun Zan was not unprepared.

After Gongsun Zan returned from begging Dong, Liu, Guan and Zhang defected to Gongsun Zan again halfway. Liu Bei also apologized to Gongsun Zan for Zhang Fei's previous crazy words in the alliance.

Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei had a classmate. When they saw Liu Bei put his posture so low, they would not get angry. They immediately reviewed themselves and said that they did not speak for the three brothers that day.

Liu Bei was also a personal elite, so he took the opportunity to express his understanding, and then naturally joined Gongsun Zan's command and was appointed as Sima of another unit by Gongsun Zan.

In fact, the main reason why Gongsun Zan accepted Liu Bei and others was that he fell in love with the courage of several people, especially Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. The courage of both of them was Gongsun Zan himself, let alone Tian Kai and Yan Gang and others under his command.

Gongsun Zan's ambition has never changed. He has been trying to figure out how to plan for Jizhou. The force of Liu, Guan and Zhang is more useful to Gongsun Zan than ten thousand soldiers. After all, Gongsun Zan has seen Pan Feng's strength with his own eyes.

After he compared it, he found that the force of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei was not inferior to Pan Feng. If Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were allowed to fight against Pan Feng together, they might be able to kill him, and even if they were not good, they could suppress him!

Once Pan Feng is suppressed, he, Gongsun Zan, regards the generals of Jizhou as grass!

However, time is tight, and Gongsun Zan does not want to use large troops and Pan Feng to die in Wen'an, so Yan Gang led the three of Liu, Guan and Zhang to Wen'an to stop Pan Feng. He, Tian Kai and others divided their troops and took Zhongshan Kingdom and Bohai County directly!

That’s right, Gongsun Zan also fell in love with Bohai!

As Yuan Shao's base camp, Bohai has reached its weakest defensive power. The total number of defenders in the county is no more than 3,000, and they are all scattered among various important cities. As for other small cities, there are only more than 100 defenders.

These defenders are enough to maintain public order, but it would be a dream to stop the 10,000 troops sent by Gongsun Zan!

Gongsun Zan knew very well that taking Bohai’s move would definitely make Yuan Shao angry and become angry, and make a foe with him, but what he wanted was Yuan Shao’s anger!

Only by cutting off Yuan Shao's retreat would he fight to the death with Han Fu's Jizhou army in Wei County, so that the northern part of Jizhou would be hit relatively less, and it would be easier for Gongsun Zan to seize the city.

......

Outside Fanyang City.

Gongsun Zan, who entered the territory of Fanyang, dared not let his soldiers enter the city, but asked the soldiers to set up the camp thirty miles outside Fanyang City. Because Fanyang is the location of the Lu Zhi family, Gongsun Zan, as Lu Zhi's disciple, naturally would not let his subordinates do whatever they wanted in the city where the teacher's family was rooted.

Of course, Lu Zhi was not in Fanyang City at this time, but lived in seclusion in Shanggu County. Even so, Gongsun Zan also sent someone to send some gifts to the Lu family to show his deep respect for Lu Zhi.

Only after saying hello to Lu did Gongsun Zan have the intention to focus on the military camp.

Now Gongsun Zan has basically figured out the divisions of the armies in Jizhou.

Although there were 5,000 defenders in Zhongshan Kingdom, these 5,000 defenders were sent to Quyang to resist the Heishan Army. With the restraint of the Heishan Army, Gongsun Zan could drive straight into Zhongshan Kingdom. At that time, his troops entered Quyang and threatened the Jizhou Army from behind Quyang.

In this way, even if this Jizhou army is immortal, it will be severely damaged?

"Lord, the governor of the state has sent someone to ask." The guard came in and said.

Gongsun Zan frowned.

Liu Yu is really annoyed. He has to send someone to ask about anything he does. He is even more in charge than his father. When things happen, his mother-in-law and mother always look like a woman.

Especially on the issue of alien races, Liu Yu's Huairou approach was to raise a tiger to cause trouble in Gongsun Zan's opinion.

As the saying goes, for my race, my heart will be different!

The alien race has been in trouble for a long time. It was once severely damaged by the Han people. Later, it was obedient. However, once the alien race recovered its vitality or the Han family declined, they would inevitably cause chaos. Not only did they occupy the borders of the Han Dynasty, they also burned, killed, and looted the Han area. Gongsun Zan has seen this scene many times and has been resentful many times!

Now he has finally had the ability to kill the alien race, but after Liu Yu came over, he directly denied Gongsun Zan's countermeasures and moved to live in peace with the alien race!

Gongsun Zan was eager to find a place to settle down, on the one hand, he was angry with Liu Yu, and on the other hand, he wanted Liu Yu to see clearly that if Gongsun Zan is gone in Youzhou, see if those alien races will start to cause trouble!

"Bring him in." Gongsun Zan said reluctantly.

After all, Liu Yu was his own Shangguan. It was a very basic operation for Liu Yu to send people to Jizhou. Gongsun Zan had no choice.

Soon, Liu Yu's envoy walked in.

The envoy knew the cold relationship between Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan, so he did not trust him, but respectfully bowed to Gongsun Zan.

"I have met Gongsun Prefect. The governor of the prefect sent me this time to ask me to ask him on his behalf. How dare I ask Gongsun Prefect why he led his troops here?" The envoy tried to ease his tone.

Gongsun Zan pointed to the map on the table: "I was entrusted by Han Wenjie to help him attack the Black Mountain bandits. Now I am leading troops to Zhongshan Kingdom to fight with the troops under Han Wenjie to fight against the Black Mountain bandits."

"Kezhou Mu received a letter from Han Gong, saying that you no longer need the prefect to send troops." The envoy replied.

Gongsun Zan laughed when he heard this: "I asked the messenger to tell the governor that although I, Gongsun Zan, is just a common man, also understands the principle of not receiving any reward without merit. Since Han Wenjie has given me food and grass, I will lead my troops to help me. Otherwise, who would dare to ask for help from Gongsun Zan again in the future? What is my face in the world?"

It turned out that Han Fu was so anxious that after agreeing to Gongsun Zan to send troops, he sent food to Peiping directly. Although Pan Feng later told him to reject Gongsun Zan, the food had already arrived in Youzhou, so Gongsun Zan naturally could not return it to Jizhou.

Originally, Han Fu didn't plan to get back this batch of food, but he didn't expect that it would become another excuse for Gongsun Zan to advance.
