Chapter 308: A Gentleman's Word, Sitting on the Shore and Watching the Battle(1/2)
"What?"
Xi Zhong and others were shocked when they heard this, and they all shouted in surprise.
"I'm going to be a father!"
Yang Fan said it again without being angry.
"Oh, congratulations to lord, I'll drink another bowl!"
Xun Yu was so happy that he immediately drank another bowl of wine.
"This is a great joy for my Yang family army, and I will also drink a bowl!"
Xi Zhong smiled.
"I...I can't drink it anymore!"
Xun You held a full bowl of wine and said with a wry smile, "It's not right for him to drink it at this time, nor is it not right for him to drink it if he doesn't drink it."
"You can't drink it, Gongda, I'll drink it for you!"
Dian Wei was quick-eyed and quick-handed. He grabbed the wine bowl and raised his head to drink it.
"Come on, come on, I'm happy today, I'll drink together. I don't have to be on duty anymore. Let Ziyi take your place!"
Yang Fan immediately called everyone to drink together.
Yang Fan's descendants were the happiest thing for them. If they were boys, they would be more united. This is a highlight of the ancient inheritance system. Although there were many disadvantages, it did not prevent Yang Fan and others from drinking and talking about each other at this time. Even Gao Shun, who was not good at drinking, made an exception and returned home drunk.
"Lord, I have something to report!"
At this time, Jia Xu walked in from outside the yard with a hurried look on his face and said.
"Wenhe is here? What's the matter? As long as it's not our Bingzhou business, what's going on tomorrow?"
Yang Fan's face was flushed and he said drunk.
"It's not Bingzhou's business! It's the Youzhou business!"
Seeing the chaotic yard, Jia Xu said with a wry smile.
"Oh? What's my senior brother's business? Let's talk about his business tomorrow. Since Wen and you are here, don't leave first. Let's have a drink together!"
Yang Fan staggered and stood up and pulled Jia Xu and said with a smile.
"Why are you so happy? How could you even get Zhongyun, Wenruo and the others drunk?"
At this time, there was only Dian Wei in the yard, and Yang Fan was still awake. Xun Yu had already drunk the table, and Xun You was even more unbearable. He stretched his foot into the pond, lying on the ground and slept soundly. Seeing this, Jia Xu asked quickly.
"It's not a big deal. I'm going to be a father. I'm happy, so I asked my brothers to drink a little wine together. They didn't have the alcohol tolerance and were all drunk. Only I and Evil are still drinking!"
Yang Fan smiled while pouring wine for Jia Xu.
"What? Lord, have you the last one?"
Jia Xu was shocked when he heard this and asked quickly.
"Well, Brother Zhongjing just came out today, so he is definitely not separated!"
Yang Fan replied happily.
"How can I not drink alcohol in such a big deal? I'll say congratulations to my lord, I've done this bowl of wine!"
Jia Xu held the wine bowl and drank it generously, saying with a smile.
"Not bad, Wen and you are more comfortable. They are not like Wen Ruo and the others. They are just drinking. They are not going to the battlefield and are procrastinating. Come on, let's have another bowl."
Seeing Jia Xu so cheerful, Yang Fan was even more happy and said with a smile.
"Uh! I..."
Jia Xu thought it was an ordinary wine, but when he drank it in one sip, he knew that it was the high wine that Yang Fan brewed himself. At this time, he felt like a burning fire in his belly. In an instant, his face turned red and his eyes became blurred.
'Bang!'
After drinking several bowls, Jia Xu followed Xun Yu and others' footsteps and fell to the ground and fell asleep.
"The alcohol tolerance is too poor, it seems I have to exercise well and exercise them."
When Yang Fan saw that Jia Xu was also drunk, he muttered to himself that the wine was purified by Yang Fan by distillation, and the degree was only thirty degrees. He was still improving it, but even if it was only thirty degrees, it was enough for Xun Yu and others to drink a pot. The amount of wine they drank was not high, so it was only a few degrees. At this time, they drank more than thirty degrees of wine at once, and they could still drink a few large bowls. Of course, they would be drunk very much.
"Lord, I respect you!"
Seeing that no one had drunk with Yang Fan, Dian Wei quickly got up and said with a smile.
"You, you're so happy!"
When Yang Fan saw Dian Wei as if he was fine, he smiled bitterly.
Finally, Yang Fan was happy and sacrificed his life to accompany Dian Wei to have a good time. It was not until late at night that the two of them got drunk. This is the difference between a warrior and a scholar. The warriors are strong and strong. When they are tired of training, they will drink a few sips to relieve the soreness of their bodies. Over time, the warriors have developed alcoholism. Even Yang Fan is no exception. They will take a small sip when they have nothing to do. Anyway, they have a health prescription equipped with Zhang Ji to regulate their bodies, so he is not afraid of drinking it.
The next day, the Prime Minister was in the palace.
"Wenhe, did you report something yesterday? Tell me, what's the matter!"
Yang Fan asked while pressing his temple.
"The news came from Ma Wei that Gongsun Zan from Youzhou started a 100,000 cavalry and infantry army three days ago and headed south to Jizhou. Today, it should be at the edge of the Liao River and confronted Yuan Tan!"
Jia Xu also had a split headache and said.
"Gongsun Zan went south? It seems that he has also received the news that Yuan Shao was assassinated. Since Yuan Tan led his army north, has he decided on the temporary basis of Jizhou? Who is it?"
Yang Fan was stunned when he heard this and asked immediately.
"Yuan Shao's second son, Yuan Xi, this son is amazing. With the support of Xu You, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Gao Gan and Ju Yi, he replaced Yuan Shao. As soon as he came to power, he transferred his elder brother to Yi County, Hejian County to defend Gongsun Zan."
Jia Xu replied.
"It's actually Yuan Xi. It seems that this guy is not as unbearable as the rumors. How many people did Yuan Tan take north to resist Gongsun Zan."
Yang Fan asked while rubbing Han's short beard.
"More than 20,000 people!"
Jia Xu said with a smile.
"Twenty thousand people? Hehe, then Yuan Xi is really unlucky! It seems that Jizhou is not peaceful!"
Yang Fan was stunned and then laughed.
Soon, Yang Fan asked Dian Wei to call Xun Yu, Xi Zhong, Xun You and others to discuss matters.
"Lord, Gongsun Zan set up a 100,000 cavalry and infantry army to Jizhou. I guess there is no one behind. Our army can take advantage of the situation and take over Youzhou!"
After listening to Jia Xu's report, Xi Zhong said.
"But didn't the lord say that everyone fasted for three months yesterday? Now that we have to use war, we may lose our trust in the world, and it will not be worth the loss!"
The ancients valued the word "trust and righteousness" the most, and they emphasized that they would be convinced when they said it. Xun Yu frowned and said.
"Uh? I said to fast for three months?"
Yang Fan was stunned when he heard this and asked.
"Master, have you forgotten?"
Xun Yu smiled bitterly when he heard this.
"Actually, it's not a bad thing for our army to wait for three months!"
Jia Xu said mysteriously.
"What do you mean?"
Yang Fan asked in confusion.
"Although Yuan Shao's assassination caused the unstable spirit and low morale of the soldiers in Jizhou, Yuan Xi has taken the iron-blooded approach to control Yuan Shao's army firmly in his hands. Gongsun Zan only had 100,000 troops. After facing Yuan Xi, he may not be able to fight. In my opinion, the battle in Jizhou should be like this. Gongsun Zan was unstoppable and took down one and two counties of Jizhou. After Yuan Xi wiped out Yuan Tan's troops, he rose up to resist. With the prosperity of Jizhou, he would definitely pull Gongsun Zan into a war of attrition. This battle would probably take several months."
Jia Xu analyzed.
"Well, Wenhe has a good analysis, and I think so too."
Xun Yu nodded in agreement.
"Lord, Gongsun Zan's envoy asked for a visit!"
At this time, Dian Wei walked in from outside the door and reported the report.
"It seems that my senior brother is not only good at fighting and killing!"
Yang Fan smiled when he heard this, and then smiled at everyone.
Just when Yang Fan met Gongsun Zan's envoy, Gongsun Zan's army, far away in Youzhou, had already entered Jizhou.
Because the clouds in Jizhou changed a while ago, most of the troops were transferred to Yecheng, so Gongsun Zan's three armies were all in a state of power. First, Gongsun Yue took over Guangchang and Beiping counties within one day. Last year, Gongsun Yue followed Gongsun Zan to fight Zhongshan County, so he was so familiar with the road. Later, Gongsun Fan took over half of the land in Bohai County within three days. Gongsun Zan also quickly met Yuan Tan who led his army north in Lecheng County, Hejian County.
"Young Master, it's not good. I'm going to find a large cavalry army ahead, and there are probably thousands of people."
Yuan Tan was leading his 20,000 troops slowly walking on the official road, and suddenly the whistle came to report.
"What? Can you see what flag the other party is under?"
Yuan Tan was shocked when he heard this and asked quickly.
