Faced with the harassment from the Black Mountain Army, Yuan Shao was furious, but he had no choice but to lose his temper!
Gongsun Zan, who had previously abandoned his army and fled, was taking in his troops in Gu'an and sent Zhao Yun to constantly harass Hejian County. However, Yuan Shao, who had recently recaptured Anping County and Julu County, had too many places to defend, and his troops were temporarily at a disadvantage. He could only be on the defensive in Hejian County, and had to fight repeatedly with Gongsun's army, unable to spare any troops. Go south.
Yuan Shao asked angrily: "Zhengnan, are we just going to watch the Black Mountain Army wreak havoc in Wei County?"
Shen Pei sighed and said in a low voice: "My lord, all the defenders in Wei County have been mobilized and have established defense lines in Ye County and Anyang. I believe that the Black Mountain Army has received the news that our army has defeated Gongsun Zan at this time. They will bully the weak and fear the strong." They will not stay in Wei County for a long time, and they will naturally withdraw when they have plundered enough."
Yuan Shao frowned and said angrily: "Zhang Yang is really a waste. Most of Hanoi County is in his hands, but even the Black Mountain Army can't contain him. There is still a Black Mountain Army entrenched in Hanoi County. Although Zi Xiu Although he is small, he also defeated Huanglong and Yu Digen's troops of the Montenegrin Army, and even forced the landing of Guo Daxian's main force. Sometimes, I really want to let Zixiu serve as the prefect of Hanoi County! Yes, Zhengnan, what do you think of this idea? How about it?"
Shen Pei shook his head slightly and said in a low voice: "My lord, although your idea is good, Zixiu is indeed a good general, but Zhang Yang was the first to obey your orders and did not make a big mistake. It would be wrong to replace him rashly. "
"The first one to take orders from me?" Yuan Shao was still angry and whispered: "He was singing and dancing in Hanoi County every night, only caring about eating, drinking and having fun, and didn't care about our safety at all. This time I gave him an order to mobilize troops. But Zhang Yang shied away from being threatened by the Black Mountain Army and refused to send any soldiers; Zixiu, on the other hand, spared no effort and took the initiative to come thousands of miles to help. Why is there such a huge gap between people?!"
Listening to Yuan Shao's admiration for Cao Ang, Shen Pei whispered: "My lord, actually letting Zhang Yang lead the prefect of Hanoi County has another advantage, that is, it involves Cao Ang's energy and makes him have to rely on the lord. Cao Ang has the ability to advocate righteousness. If he were allowed to occupy the entire Hanoi County, he might have different thoughts!"
Yuan Shao shook his head repeatedly and said angrily: "Zheng Nan, can you be a more cheerful person? Don't always think the worst of others!
Since the crusade against Dong Zhuo, Zixiu has respected me very much and always upheld my dignity as the leader of the alliance. As soon as he received the news of Gongsun Zan's southern invasion, Cao Ang took the initiative to deliver supplies to us and personally led his troops to come for reinforcements. During the previous battle in the deserted village, he fought desperately to give me a chance to break through.
If you still doubt such a loyal nephew, who else in the world is worthy of your trust? ! In this case, I hope you won¡¯t say it again in the future, so as not to hurt the hearts of these loyal people! "
Seeing Yuan Shao¡¯s angry expression, Shen Pei also felt a little embarrassed. Cao Ang was extremely respectful to Yuan Shao, but he had no reason to doubt him, which was a bit like judging a gentleman with a villain's heart. It's just that he is Yuan Shao's counselor, so he naturally has to do his best to think about Yuan Shao and not let go of any unstable factors that may endanger Yuan Shao's great cause.
When Yuan Shao saw Shen Pei lowering his head and seemed to be submissive, he comforted him a few words and said to Shen Pei: "Now our army is confronting Gongsun Zan, and there is no possibility of a decisive battle in the short term. Only Zi Xiu's five hundred cavalry are left. We have more than 200 men under our command. We have suffered heavy losses and it is time to return to our hometown to rest and recuperate. I am going to order Zixiu to lead his troops to withdraw to Hanoi County and assist Zhang Yang in stabilizing the situation in Hanoi County.
I believe Zhang Yang can see my dissatisfaction with him from this order. As long as he wants to secure his position as Hanoi governor, he will do his best to deal with the Montenegrin army. In this way, Wei Jun's Yu Du and other troops went deep into the army alone, and they will definitely not stay for long. We can also speed up the suppression of Wei Jun's rebellion. what do you think? "
Shen Pei raised his thumb and praised as an exception: "My lord is brilliant!"
A few days later, Zhang Yang received a letter sent by Yuan Shao. After smiling and rewarding the messenger, Zhang Yang smashed his study into pieces beyond recognition!
Isn¡¯t this humiliating? I, Zhang Yangnai, am the magistrate of a county, why do I need a childish boy to help me? ! What's more, Cao Ang has already occupied the four counties of Hanoi County. If he makes an outstanding contribution this time, will I, the prefect of Hanoi County, have to give up my position? !
Complaints are complaints, but Zhang Yang did not dare to neglect Yuan Shao's orders. The previous battle at Jieqiao had already made Qu Yi famous all over the world for being the first to die, and Yuan Shao, who controlled this powerful force, was even more unstoppable. Now most of Jizhou has fallen under Yuan Shao's control. As time goes by, Yuan Shao's strength will become stronger and stronger! It is no exaggeration to say that when Yuan Shao sneezes, Zhang Yang will tremble three times!
After thinking about it, Zhang Yang quietly called his general Yang Chou over and said to him:He said: "General Yang, Yuan Jizhou wrote a letter to me before, asking me to quickly wipe out the bandits of the Black Mountain Army. If our military strength fails, Yuan Jizhou suggested that Cao Ang help us send troops! Let me ask you the truth now. , with the current strength of our Hanoi County, do you think we can deal with the Bai Rao and Sui Gu armies?"
When Yang Chou heard that Cao Ang was coming to interfere, he subconsciously blew his nose, glared, and complained. After saying a few harsh words, Yang Chou sighed and said in a low voice: "Master Taishou, our current military strength is insufficiently trained, and our ordnance configuration is not rich. If we really fight with the Montenegrin Army, the probability of victory is not high." Optimistic! However, if it is a battle to defend the city, we still have a certain chance of winning!"
Zhang Yang frowned slightly and asked doubtfully: "General Yang, we occupy most of Hanoi County, but Cao Ang only has four counties in his hands. Why are the soldiers we raise far lower than Cao Ang in terms of quantity and quality?"
Yang Chou sneered: "Master Taishou, do you want to ask me about my oversight?"
Zhang Yang shook his head repeatedly, "There is no one else in this room except you and me. I'm just curious. If it's convenient for you, explain it to me; if it's not convenient, just pretend I didn't ask."
What Zhang Yang said was true, but Yang Chou was embarrassed to fall out. He sighed and said in a low voice: "Sir, since Cao Ang took charge of Zhi County, he has lightened the corvee and reduced taxes. Many merchants took advantage of it and moved their trading places. We moved from Huai County to Zhi County. As a result, the transaction tax we received dropped sharply, while the transaction tax from Cao Ang continued to increase. With money, Cao Ang can naturally recruit stronger soldiers and build more powerful soldiers. Weapons, the strength of its army will naturally increase!"
After hearing this, Zhang Yang couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Then if we reduce the tax, will the merchants be able to come back? After all, we have a foundation here, and it has been a gathering place for merchants to collect and distribute goods for many years!"
Yang Chou sighed and shook his head, "My lord, it's easy to say tax cuts to put it bluntly, but it's difficult to implement it. When Cao Ang replaced Wang Kuang in occupying Zhi County, he started from scratch, and all the officials who got in the way were eliminated by the West. Liang Jun killed them all.
But we are different. We have all kinds of relationships under our command, and all aspects must be taken care of. On the one hand, these taxes must be collected into the treasury, and on the other hand, they must also benefit all parties. If one party can't take care of it, they will secretly stumble upon us! These people are all spokespersons for the power of aristocratic families. Our foundation is not stable and we cannot afford to offend! "
Hearing what Yang Chou said, Zhang Yang couldn't help but sigh. He had suffered several hidden losses before, and Yang Chou didn't need to explain it too carefully to understand the danger. However, his control ability is not as good as that of a child, which really makes him feel ashamed and angry!
The two looked at each other and sighed for a while, feeling that their relationship had improved to another level. Zhang Yang whispered: "Yang Chou, Yuan Jizhou just used a letter to warn me this time. If I can't satisfy him, maybe he will support Cao Ang to replace me. Do you have any tricks? As long as you can attack Retreat from the Montenegrin Army and I will give you great credit!"
Yang Chou looked around and lowered his voice and said: "Sir, I was defeated in the battle before and was captured by the Black Mountain Army. Thanks to your Excellency, I sent someone to deliver money and food, so I was exchanged for it. Sir, how about we pay more to the Black Mountain Army?" Money and food to make them retreat?"
Zhang Yang shook his head: "The Black Mountain Army's appetite is getting bigger and bigger. The money and food they gave is less. They just beat the dogs with meat and bones. They never come back! The money and food they gave is too much, and we can't take it out. We shipped it to Jizhou some time ago. There are a lot of supplies in the warehouse that haven¡¯t been filled yet!¡±
Yang Chou said in a low voice: "Sir, I have an immature opinion. Please don't blame me if I say it."
"But it doesn't matter!" Zhang Yang looked at Yang Chou expectantly and curiously.
Yang Chou said in a low voice: "Sir, why don't we give the Black Mountain Army another batch of supplies, which can also ease the relationship between our two armies. Then, quietly make way for a passage, divert the trouble eastward, and let them attack Dongjun! Compared with Dongjun, We are rich here, but the prefect Wang Gong is also incompetent. He is more attractive than our Hanoi County!
Bai Rao and Sui Gu of the Black Mountain Army should be able to see the situation clearly and seize this opportunity. You must know that when they attacked Hanoi County, they wanted to collect money and food on the one hand, and on the other hand they wanted to coordinate Yu Du's attack on Wei County. Dongjun is in Yuan Shao's rear area, so being able to attack it fulfills the Black Mountain Army's wish! "
"I'm afraid it won't be easy to explain to Yuan Shao. After all, the Black Mountain Army crossed our Hanoi County to attack Dongjun!" Zhang Yang said with a frown while thinking.
Matchmaking is a very lucrative matter. Seeing Zhang Yang's interest, Yang Chou quickly smiled and said, "Let's just say that Bai Rao and Sui Gu's two armies are too powerful and have torn our defense line apart. As long as you make up your mind, I can make it up for you." Dozens of legitimate reasons!¡±
"good!"
¡
A few days later, after paying a "heavy price", the Bailuo and Suigu armies of the Montenegrin Army tore through Yang Chou's defense line of the Hanoi Army, crossed Hanoi County, and attacked Dongjun directly.
Wang Hu, the governor of Dongjun, could not resist and immediately asked Yuan Shao for help. At this time, Yuan Shao's general Cui Juye was ambushed by Gongsun Zan, killing seven to eight thousand people, and chaos broke out in northern Jizhou. Yuan Shao, who was unable to go south, could only appoint Cao Ang to lead his army to rush to the aid of Dongjun! - Didn't finish reading?
