Soon, under the guidance of several personal guards, a man in military uniform was brought in.

Liu Zhou saw that the man was haggard and his face was red by the cold wind, and he was obviously full of dust.

However, Liu Yu looked familiar with this person, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him for a while.

After the visitor came in, he immediately bowed to the ground.

"The King of Taiyuan, pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor of Han!"

The person who came was Wang Zan who fled to Zhangwu.

After Wang Zan and Sun Wei ran to Zhang Wu, they soon learned about Zao Song and Duan Ji and Lu Jun capturing the deposed Wang Jun. Then Sun Wei led the crowd to stay in Zhang Wu, and Wang Zan went south to find Liu Zhi for help.

Regarding Wang Zan, Liu Yu only knew that he was one of the few supervisors led by Wang Jun. In this way, he was still a member of the Wang family in Taiyuan.

"Wang Zan? I always feel like I have seen you somewhere?" Liu Yu said.

Hearing Liu Yu say this, Wang Zan quickly responded.

"The villain is frightened, and His Majesty actually has an impression of the villain."

"Oh, so I did see you before?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the villain has been to Linzi to send guests off for the sake of his relatives. I just regretted that he had no eyes at that time and could not serve His Majesty early."

When Liu Yu heard this, he immediately remembered that when Wang Jun was marrying his daughter, there were many people in the huge bride-sending team. Although Wang Zan was one of the guests, he did not leave any particularly deep impression on Liu.

"Hehe, now Boling Gong is in Youzhou and has rejected my respect several times. Since Youzhou is Jin Zhong, it is the enemy of my Han Dynasty. Boling Gong sent you here, is it because he is going to issue a letter of war?" Liu Yu said without hesitation.

Liu Yu, who was originally very kind, had an arrogance in his tone at this time, which immediately made Wang Zan's heart tremble.

While waiting outside, Wang Zan saw that there were neither complicated and complicated emperor ceremonies outside nor the mighty emperor's palace maids and others. The show was far from the emperor's grand Jin that Wang Zan had seen before.

At that time, Wang Zan was despised by Liu Yu and the "Han" and felt that he was just a strait team and had no national demeanor at all.

However, after entering the inner world, Wang Zan saw strong armored soldiers along the way. He knew at a glance that they were all elite soldiers who could fight, not ordinary worldly soldiers. He immediately lost all of Wang Zan's contempt.

I almost forgot that in today's chaotic times, the strong armor and the soldiers are much more useful than the false pomp.

"His Majesty!"

After seeing Liu Yu change his face, Wang Zan suddenly wailed and almost cried.

This sound almost scared Liu Yu.

I heard Wang Zan continue to say in a crying voice.

"Your Majesty, the traitor Zao Song and Duan Xianbei joined forces to attack Zhuo County. The prince fell into the hands of the thieves. I don't know how to live or die!"

Liu Yu was shocked when he heard this.

He glanced at Xi Jian next to him, and saw obvious surprise from Xi Jian's serious face.

"Zao Song and the Duan Xianbei rebelled?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, Zao Song has long been hiding evil intentions and has been spying on power. Most of the members of Youzhou are following him. Now he has joined forces with Duan's troops and suddenly attacked. Almost overnight, Duke Boling became the leader of the thief."

After Liu Yu heard this, his heart suddenly felt mixed feelings.

This incident far exceeded Liu Yu's guess. From then on, how the situation in Youzhou will develop will be a major variable.

"Don't be anxious, tell me the whole story carefully!" Liu Yu said.

"As for your order, your Majesty!"

Afterwards, Wang Zan told the story of Duan's troops and Zao Song's surprise attack and capture Zhuo County.

However, Wang Zan was not a person who witnessed many of the details and stories, but was all his own guesses and news.

After listening, Liu Yu already understood the general idea.

"As a result, I still refuse to transfer to Zao Song's old subordinates, only Sun Tugu of Zhangwu County and you are left?"

"To be precise, this is true now." Wang Zan continued, "However, there is a soldier led by Wang Chang in Beiping County. Wang Chang Zhongzhi will not surrender to Zao Song under normal circumstances."

"In this way, since Dugu Wang still has Zhangwu County in his hands, he should have the power to protect himself. Why is he so eager to come now?" Xi Jian said bluntly.

In Xi Jian's opinion, Wang Zan and others must have defected to Liu Yu. He said this just to be a sarcastic person and help Liu Yu a little more.

Sure enough, when Wang Zan heard Xi Jian’s unceremonious questioning, he immediately said anxiously.

"Of course it is to abandon the darkness and turn to the light! Now Your Majesty has issued an edict to the world to fight against Hu Fuhan. To be honest, I have long wanted to do my best for Your Majesty."

Wang Zan said here, patted his thighs, and said with hatred.

"What a pity, Zao Song had made many obstacles before, but he was increasingly distrustful to Mr. Boling. His intention toward the Han Dynasty could not be adopted by Mr. Boling!"

Seeing this, Liu Zhou was immediately overjoyed.

"I see!"

"I see that the king's guardian is extraordinary and not like the foolish loyalty of the Jin Dynasty who does not know the fate of heaven. Now it seems that this is true!"

When Wang Zan heard Liu Yu praise this, he immediately showed his sincerity.

"Since I heard that Your Majesty was reincarnated in Qingzhou and restored the Han Dynasty, Mo Jiang was almost so happy that he could not help himself when he heard this news in Fanyang! I only regretted that my ministers were incompetent and lived in Youzhou, and could not raise my arms and call out loyal and righteous people to die for Your Majesty. In the past few months, whenever I think of this, Mo Jiang was ashamed and wet with tears of shame and hatred!"

After Wang Zan finished speaking, he lowered his head and sighed again.

After hearing this, Liu Yu couldn't help but feel speechless.

I really didn't expect that Wang Zan could say such a "slanderous" statement of loyalty.

He glanced at Xi Jian and happened to see the slight smile on Xi Jian's face.

However, Wang Zan was indeed not comparable to ordinary high-ranking students who could predict the opportunity and decisively escape and occupy Zhang Wu.

"Oh, if I hadn't met you today, I wouldn't have known that there were such a loyal and brave man in Youzhou who was so loyal to the Han Dynasty!" Liu Yu also looked very moved.

The restoration of the Han Dynasty can be said to be the ideological weapon that Liu Yu is now focusing on.

Nearly a hundred years have passed since the Han Dynasty. Due to the turmoil in the past decade, ordinary people have long forgotten the decade of decline and corruption of the Han Dynasty. Instead, the great achievements of the Han Dynasty have been passed down.

"Your Majesty, it's not just a minister. Now there are thousands of equally loyal and brave righteous men in Zhangwu County, all looking forward to the restoration of Youyan from the Han flag north of Your Majesty!" Wang Zan said.

"Thousands of soldiers? How many are there?" Liu Yu asked.

"It's almost three thousand." Wang Zan said.

"So few?" Liu Yu was a little surprised. Although Zhang Wu was not a big county in Jizhou, his population was quite large. In addition, he was rarely attacked by barbarians and refugees. In fact, his real strength should not be inferior to the superior counties and states in Jizhou.

"Zhangwu's army is all the children of Youzhou, and the rest of the county soldiers are owned by the powerful men in the county." Wang Zan explained, "Now Zao Song joins the Duan Department to control Youzhou, and the powerful men in Zhangwu County are all fence-bearers. I am afraid that it will not take long to join Zao Song."

When Liu Yu heard this, he understood that this was the reason why Wang Zan hurriedly came to seek reinforcements.

After Zao Song easily controlled the power of Youzhou, not only the powerful people of Zhangwu County would soon surrender to Zao Song, thus making Wang Zan and Sun Wei isolated.

Even the soldiers and horses in the hands of Wang Zan and Sun Wei, in addition to their loyal troops, must have many soldiers from Youzhou. These people are some unstable factors, and they may run back to Youzhou at any time.

In this way, Wang Zan and Sun Wei must seek powerful foreign aid to stabilize the morale of the army and then shock the powerful people in the county, so that they dare not rebel easily.

While Liu Yu was thinking about how to arrange Wang Zan to get the greatest benefit, Wang Zan was already a little anxious.

He thought that after he truthfully told the troops in his hands, Liu Yu became contemptuous.

"Zao Song is mean and greedy and cunning. Except for a group of the same evil villains, all the loyal and upright scholars in Youzhou are ashamed to be the main ones." Wang Zan said again.

"Gaoyang, Boling and Hejian counties are all Zao Song's followers, but they are all wine bags. I am willing to be the leader and take all these three places for Your Majesty!"

"But after this, the state soldiers and the Xianbei soldiers of Zao Song's hands must be back-stopped by the general Mo. If there is no reinforcements from His Majesty, the general Mo will definitely be unable to continue and will lose it again."

When Liu Yu heard this, the surprise in his eyes was already uncontrollable, and he looked at Xi Jian.

The two looked at each other and exchanged glances, and then they understood what each other was thinking.

Wang Zan is the core figure in Youzhou who is the leader of the army. Since he said that, he is probably inseparable from all over the world.

The strategy agreed by Liu Yu and Xi Jian was to go north to occupy Xindu, while the three counties of Boling, Gaoyang and Hejian that Wang Zan mentioned were all close to the Anping Kingdom where Xindu was located.

Under such circumstances, as long as the momentum strategy is used well, after capturing Xindu, not only can Shi Le be destroyed in Jizhou, but he can also obtain the stronger four northern counties of Jizhou.

"What you said really touched me! How can I let down such a national strategy?!"

Liu Yu's acting skills immediately began to be launched.

"So, I decided to lead my army north personally, first win Xindu, open up the road to Jizhou, and then go north to attack the traitor Zao Song!"

"Your Majesty is such a blessing, and the great Han Dynasty!"

Wang Zan exclaimed in his heart that as long as Liu Yu's Han army could go north to capture Xindu, it meant that it could go north to the four counties of Jizhou. If he continued to go north, as long as he occupied the Zhangshui and Qingshui basins, he could use the river channel to transport troops, weapons and food to Zhangwu. In this way, even if the Duan Xianbei went south, with these supplies, he could defend reinforcements to rescue him.

"No, your majesty!"

But Wang Zan was just happy when he heard the counselor next to him object.

"Your Majesty, now that our army has just taken Qinghe, we should continue to advance westward and attack Shile's old nest Weijun area. How can we easily change our strategy and turn north to Xindu?"

Xi Jian said with a heartbroken look.

"I...."

Wang Zan was anxious when he heard this. If Zhang Wu's three thousand soldiers and horses had no foreign aid, as long as Zao Song or Duan's troops went south, they would definitely disperse, because no one was a fool. If there were no foreign aid, these three thousand soldiers would definitely not be able to defend Zhang Wu.

He was about to speak, but suddenly Liu Yu took the lead.
