Gongsun Zan seized the critical moment of the civil strife in Jinyang and attacked. Zhang Liao was now worried about internal and external troubles. Fortunately, Fang Zhiwen just sat outside Yanmen Pass and watched the wind, sand and snow blowing. If Fang Zhiwen had another kick, Zhang Liao would collapse immediately. However, Gongsun Zan alone would be enough to make Zhang Liao fumbling and struggling.

Gongsun Zan's offensive was launched at the same time from several directions, and he used a steady and steady strategy. Gongsun Zan understood that time was on his side. As time passed, Zhang Liao's food and grass problems would become more prominent. If the Xianbei people from the west came to join in the fun again, Zhang Liao would definitely be careless of his head and butt.

Zhang Liao's situation is indeed no longer bad. He has shortage of food and his morale is sluggish. Rumors are everywhere in the country, and people are in panic. Rich people are busy escaping their lives with bags, and those who have no money are busy escaping famine to save their lives. Fortunately, some people still want to sell their children and women, and players have an unlimited population.

But the players in Bingzhou were a little panicked, so the people who came to acquire the population were all from other places.

The wind was floating in Qiangyin City, and the wind was already very cold, but Qiangyin City was in full swing, and a lot of work brought a lot of benefits. Poor people from all over Yanmen soon discovered that as long as they were willing to work, they could eat enough, support their families, and even earn a place for themselves and earn a lot of land.

After the renovation of the city, a huge city is being expanded, and the crisscrossing water conservancy facilities outside the city are being excavated, gradually appearing in front of everyone with changes every day. These people from all over Yanmen have slowly discovered the fruits of their terrible labor and have unknowingly established a love and attachment in their hearts.

This is the home they built with one hand and one foot. The home they love. When the snow covers the earth, the land with a poor heart will renurturing life. When spring is warm and flowers bloom, there will be a lot of vitality in and outside the city. Everyone will start a new life in this vibrant land.

Fang Zhiwen and Taishi Zhaorong stood at a high place in the city, overlooking the entire gray city. The city is not lovely at all now, and it is just a big empty shell. Only when it is next spring can you see the results of large-scale construction. However, Taishi Zhaorong has seen many similar scenes, so she firmly believes that this place will be a paradise and a prosperous grassland city in the future.

"Husband, are we still here next spring?"

Fang Zhiwen held Taishi Zhaorong's hand and looked around. He shook his head and said, "I don't know either. Maybe it's here, but if Rong'er wants to see what spring is like in this city, can I take the time to come back."

"Then it's decided! But you have to call my sister and Zhen'er to join me, otherwise they will say mine."

"Haha, OK, the whole family's spring outing!"

The two were having fun in this not-so-beautiful environment. A dissatisfied scream came from the bottom of the house.

"Master! Bah, it's all sand! Are you and your mistress eating sand there? Come down quickly, there's the latest battle report!"

The dark-faced Fang Zhiwen and the snickering Taishi Zhaorong soon got off the roof, and Guo Jia was waiting with a smile.

"Where is Zijing? Is it safe?"

"What can he have insecurity? Who dares to offend him now under the banner of his lord?"

"Bandits! Tie people to exchange for food!"

"Then Dingyuan is a vegetarian. Cut!"

"answer the questions!"

"No, the letter I received yesterday was to the Ye Wang. I guess I'll cross the river today!"

"It's good to pass the war zone, okay, let's talk about your latest battle report. Is there anything worthy of special advice?"

"After Jinyang lost its support, the strategic deployment of the entire Taiyuan County seemed very loose. Now they are fighting each other. What their subordinates are concerned about when Zhang Liao would not be able to hold on and give up Taiyuan County, and retreat to Yanmen and Dingxiang in full."

"You said this yesterday, so Zhang Liao began to retreat?"

"No, my subordinates really don't understand what Zhang Liao is insisting on. Can you sacrifice the lives of soldiers for the sake of face?"

When he said this, the three of them had already entered the house, and Huang Zhong was already waiting inside. When he saw Fang Zhiwen coming in, Huang Zhong stood up from the front of the sand table.

"Lord, mistress!"

"Sit down, Hansheng also thinks there is no need for Zhang Liao to hold on?"

Huang Zhong nodded: "Lord, no matter how you look at it, it is difficult for Zhang Liao to win now. Unless Gongsun Zan is alone and greedy for merit and advance, but Gongsun Zan is not a rookie. Look at how stable he is in the fight, he will not leave any chance for Zhang Liao. Obviously, he has seen through the entire battle situation."

"Haha, the essence of Bingzhou is in Taiyuan County, or Zhang Liao understands that losing Taiyuan County is equivalent to losing Bingzhou. If Taiyuan County changes hands and wants to rely on Yanmen, Dingxiang, Yunzhong and Shuofang to counterattack Taiyuan, it is basically impossible. Zhang Liao understands this and defends Taiyuan County to the death."

Guo Jia curled his lips and said, "What if I just understand this principle? I can only burn both jade and stone when I hold Taiyuan County to death. If I retreat to Yanmen and Dingxiang, I can still survive. If Lu Bu can attack Gongsun Zan from the south immediately, perhaps Zhang Liao has the possibility of counterattacking. If the main force is annihilated in Taiyuan County, it is impossible for Yanmen to defend Dingxiang."

"So, is Zhang Liao gambled? Is he forcing Lu Bu to cross the river?" Huang Zhong asked back.

"Where is Lu Bu capable of crossing the river now? Moreover, Gongsun Zan has made sufficient preparations in Hanoi County to move the population to Shangdang County. Hanoi originally existed as a battlefield. When Lu Bu crosses the river, he will face a difficult battlefield with a strong wall and clear field. To cross the mountains of Shangdang County, you can imagine how difficult it is for Lu Bu. Can Zhang Liao persist until that time?"

Guo Jia easily cut off this plan. Zhang Liao's persistence in Taiyuan County was actually a failure from a strategic perspective. However, Fang Zhiwen could understand Zhang Liao's idea, and he was ashamed! Zhang Liao did not do Ding Yuan's entrustment and Lu Bu's trust, so he was ashamed. He wanted to use desperate resistance to relieve his guilt.

Also, Zhang Liao knew the consequences of retreating to Dingxiang, Yanmen. That is, from then on, he must rely closely on Fang Zhiwen, otherwise his army would starve to death. How can barren areas such as Dingxiang, Yanmen, Yunzhong and Shuofang maintain Zhang Liao's huge army? If the army is cut, it will be swallowed easily by Gongsun Zan and even be defeated by the Xianbei in Hexi.

In fact, how could Guo Jia not understand the key points here? However, Guo Jia is very disdainful of Zhang Liao's intentions. As a commander, you must not make decisions because of personal emotional factors. Because your decision may contain the lives of countless soldiers, this is also the reason why Guo Jia complained about Zhang Liao's life and death from the beginning.

"Okay, this is Zhang Liao's own choice. I hope he can understand what he is doing and we can't decide what for him. Maybe Lu Bu can make him change his mind!"

"This guy!" Guo Jia muttered dissatisfiedly.

Huang Zhong looked at Guo Jia with some insight, and smiled slightly while stroking his beard.

While the Yellow River was not frozen, Lu Su and Zhen Xiang took a boat directly to Mengjin Port. After getting off the boat from Mengjin, Lu Bu's army protected Lu Su and escorted them to Luoyang, which had just been rebuilt.

Luoyang City looks shabby now. There are low buildings everywhere, and many of them are temporary buildings. However, it is already quite good to give everyone a place to keep warm before winter. You should know that Lu Bu’s money and food are very difficult now.

Lu Bu had no intention of rebuilding the palace, and his government office did not give priority to construction, but just set up a large tent inside the wall, which made Lu Su feel very sad.

Pang Yuan represented Lu Bu to greet him at the steps outside the gate. Looking at the famous versatile Lu Su during the Three Kingdoms period, Pang Yuan was also very moved. This method of Fang Zhiwen recruiting talents was really enviable. Speaking of which, most outstanding talents in the early Three Kingdoms were in his hands.

After both sides politely saw the gift, Pang Yuan brought Lu Su, who was slightly nervous, into meeting Lu Bu.

"The conditions here are a bit simple, so don't dislike me."

"Why, I haven't been with my lord for long, but I spend most of my time on the battlefield, which is already very good! At least I have tea."

"Haha" Lu Bu smiled happily. He liked people who confessed. Lu Su made him feel very appetizing.

"Is Zhiwen okay?"

"The lord is very good. I'm going to marry the third wife before the New Year!"

"Haha, Zhiwen is so comfortable!" Lu Bu sighed, and Pang Yuan naturally knew what Lu Bu was referring to. Compared with Lu Bu's difficulties, Fang Zhiwen seemed to have never been so difficult even when facing the national war.

"Haha, the lord is really comfortable, and we subordinates are very envious of this."

"Zi Jing has been to another world with Zhiwen?"

“Have been!”

"How is the situation there?" Lu Bu's eyes were full of curiosity.

Lu Su was not in a hurry, so he told Lu Bu what he saw and heard in another world. Lu Bu was deeply moved and yearned for it.

It was the first time that Pang Yuan heard such detailed war situations in another world. From Lu Su's words, he could infer that Fang Zhiwen has completely reversed the unfavorable situation of the national war and directed the war to a favorable situation for the Han Dynasty. The full attack and investment of the World Association will be rewarded soon.

With Pang Yuan's intelligence, how could he have never imagined the problem of transporting troops from another world? If there were endless army support from another world, this world could only be from Fang Zhiwen and Tianxiahui, and perhaps these two people would be the ones who fought for the world in the end. Of course, this was also a wrong judgment made by his lack of intelligence. In fact, the army in another world would not be endless, and this kind of thing did not exist in the world under Xingtian 4.

"So it's like this in the other world. It's really eye-opening. Now Zhiwen has stabilized the battlefield of the national war. No wonder he has the spare energy to attack and destroy Helian. So what is Zijing coming here? Is he going to discuss food transactions?"

"For one, what else is there?"

"What else? What's the matter?"

"Zhang Wenyuan's affairs, Bingzhou's affairs!"

Lu Bu's eyes shrank and he looked at Lu Su with a stern expression. Lu Su smiled and looked back without any fear. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations, monthly tickets, and mobile phone users please read it
