Faced with the harassment of the Black Mountain Army, Yuan Shao was furious, but he had no choice but to lose his temper!

Gongsun Zan, who had abandoned his troops before, was in Gu'an to accommodate troops and sent Zhao Yun to continue to harass Hejian County. However, Yuan Shao, who had recently recovered Anping County and Julu County, had to temporarily be at a disadvantage in Hejian County because there were too many places to defend, and he could only be on the defensive position in Hejian County. He had to fight repeatedly with Gongsun Army and could not withdraw his troops to go south at all.

Yuan Shao asked angrily: "Zhengnan, are we just watching the Black Mountain Army rage in Wei County?"

Shen Pei sighed and said in a low voice: "Lord, all the defenders on Wei County have been mobilized to establish a defense line in Ye County and Anyang. I believe that the Heishan Army has received the news that our army has defeated Gongsun Zan at this time. They are bullying the weak and afraid of the strong, and they will not stay in Wei County for a long time. If they have enough, they will naturally withdraw their troops."

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 cannot restrain one or two. Now there is the Black Mountain Army entrenched in Hanoi County. Although Zi Xiu is small, he has defeated Huanglong of the Black Mountain Army. Yu Digen's troops have even forced Guo Daxian's main force. Sometimes, I really want Zi Xiu to serve as the prefect of Hanoi County! Yes, Zhengnan, what do you think of this idea?"

Shen Pei shook his head gently and whispered: "Lord, although your idea is good, Zi Xiu is indeed a good general. However, Zhang Yang was the first to obey you and did not make a big mistake. It would be inappropriate to replace him rashly."

"The first to obey me?" Yuan Shao's anger was not gone and he whispered: "He was singing and singing every night in Hanoi County, only caring about food, drink and having fun, and he ignored our safety. This time I gave him the order to dispatch troops, but Zhang Yang refused to send one army and one soldier. However, Zi Xiu took the initiative to help thousands of miles away. Why is the gap between people so big?!"

Listening to Yuan Shao's appreciation for Cao Ang, Shen Pei whispered: "Lord, there is actually another advantage to let Zhang Yang be the prefect of Hanoi County, that is, it involves Cao Ang's energy and forces him to rely on him. Cao Ang has the name of advocating righteousness. If he was allowed to occupy the entire Hanoi County, he might have a strange mind!"

Yuan Shao shook his head repeatedly and said angrily: "Zhengnan, can you be more sunny as a person? Don't always think about others' bad things!

Since the attack on Dong Zhuo, Zixiu has respected me very much and maintained the majesty of my leader as the leader. As soon as he received the news of Gongsun Zan's invasion in the south, Cao Ang took the initiative to transport supplies to us and personally led his troops to reinforce. During the previous battle in the deserted village, he fought desperately to win the opportunity for me to break through.

If you still have to doubt such loyal and righteous sons and nephews, who is trustworthy in the world?! In this case, I hope you will not say it again in the future and don’t hurt the hearts of these loyal and righteous people!”

Seeing Yuan Shao's angry face, Shen Pei felt a little embarrassed. Cao Ang was extremely respectful to Yuan Shao, but he doubted him for no reason, and he could judge a gentleman with a villain's heart. However, he was Yuan Shao's counselor, so he naturally had to do his best to think about Yuan Shao and not let go of any unstable factors that might harm Yuan Shao's great cause.

Seeing that Shen Pei lowered her head, Yuan Shao comforted her a few words and said to Shen Pei: "Now that our army confronts Gongsun Zan, there is no possibility of a decisive battle in the short term. Zi Xiu's 500 cavalry are now left with only more than 200 people, and it is very much damaged. It is time to go back to his hometown to rest. I am going to order Zi Xiu to lead his troops to withdraw from Hanoi County and assist Zhang Yang in stabilizing the situation in Hanoi County.

I believe that Zhang Yang can see my dissatisfaction with him from this order. As long as he wants to firmly take up the post of Hanoi Prefect, he will do his best to deal with the Black Mountain Army. In this way, the Yu Du and other troops of Wei County will go deeper and will definitely not be able to stay long. We can also accelerate the quellion in Wei County. What do you think?"

Shen Pei stretched out his thumb and made an exception and praised: "Lord is brilliant!"

A few days later, Zhang Yang received a letter sent by Yuan Shao. After smiling and rewarding the sender, Zhang Yang smashed his study into unrecognizable face!

Isn’t this a humiliating person? I, Zhang Yang, is the prefect of a county, so why does a yellow-haired boy need to help? Besides, Cao Ang has occupied the four counties of Hanoi County. If he makes outstanding contributions this time, will I, the prefect of Hanoi County, have to give way?!

Even though he complained, Zhang Yang did not dare to neglect Yuan Shao's orders. The battle of Jieqiao had already made Queyi's first-class deceased soldiers famous all over the world, and Yuan Shao, who controlled this powerful brigade, was even more unstoppable. Now most areas of Jizhou have fallen under Yuan Shao's control. With time, Yuan Shao's strength will become stronger and stronger! It is no exaggeration to say that if Yuan Shao sneezes, Zhang Yang will shake three times!

After thinking about it, General Yang Chou, General Yang Chou, quietly called over and said to him: "General Yang, Yuan Jizhou has written a letter to me before, asking me to quickly eliminate the bandits of the Black Mountain Army. If my military strength is not enough, Yuan Jizhou suggests that Cao Ang help us send troops! Let me tell you the truth now. With the existing troops in our Hanoi County, do you think we can deal with Bailuo and consolidate the two armies?"

When Yang Chou heard that Cao Ang was coming to get involved, he subconsciously blew his nose and stared at him, and complained. After saying a few harsh words, Yang Chou sighed and whispered: "Sir, our current military training is insufficient and the military configuration is not rich. If we fight with the Black Mountain Army, the probability of victory is not optimistic! However, if we fight in the city, we still have a certain chance of victory!"

Zhang Yang frowned slightly and asked in confusion: "General Yang, we occupy most of the Hanoi County, and Cao Ang only has four counties. Why are the soldiers we raise far lower than Cao Ang in terms of quantity and quality?"

Yang Chou sneered: "Does the prefect want to ask me about the crime of misunderstanding?"

Zhang Yang shook his head repeatedly, "There is no one in this room except you and me. I am just curious. If it is convenient, please explain it to me; if it is inconvenient, then pretend that I have never asked."

What Zhang Yang said was true, but Yang Chou was embarrassed to turn against him. He sighed and whispered: "Sir, since Cao Ang took charge of the county, he has reduced labor service and reduced taxes. Many merchants are greedy for cheapness and have transferred their trading locations from Huai County to Zhuan County. In this way, the transaction tax we received has been sharply reduced, while the transaction tax on Cao Ang's side has been increasing. With money, Cao Ang will naturally be able to recruit more powerful soldiers and create sharper weapons, and his military strength will naturally increase!"

After hearing this, Zhang Yang couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Let's reduce the taxes, can the merchants come back? After all, we have a foundation here and have been a gathering place for merchants to collect goods for many years!"

Yang Chou sighed and shook his head, "Master, to say something bad, it is easy to reduce taxes, but it is difficult to implement it. When Cao Ang replaced Wang Kuang and occupied Zixian County, he started from scratch. The officials who were in trouble were killed by the Xiliang army.

But we are different. We have all kinds of relationships under our jurisdiction and we have to take care of them in all aspects. On the one hand, these taxes must be collected into the warehouse, and on the other hand, they also benefit all forces. If one party cannot take care of them, they will secretly stumbling on us! These people are spokespersons of the forces of the aristocratic families. Our foundation is unstable and we cannot afford to offend!"

After hearing what Yang Chou said, Zhang Yang couldn't help but sigh. He had suffered several secret losses. Without saying it too carefully, he could understand the harm. However, his control ability was actually not as good as a child, which really made him embarrassed and angry!

The two looked at each other for a while, and their relationship reached a higher level. Zhang Yang whispered: "Yang Chou, Yuan Jizhou is just using letters to alert me this time. If I can't satisfy him, maybe he will support Cao Ang to replace my position. Do you have any tricks? As long as you can defeat the Black Mountain Army, I will remember you great achievements!"

Yang Chou looked around and lowered his voice and said, "Sir, I was defeated before and was captured by the Black Mountain Army. Thanks to the Lord who sent someone to deliver money and food, I was exchanged for me. Sir, why don't we pay the Black Mountain Army some money and food to let them withdraw?"

Zhang Yang shook his head: "The Black Mountain Army's appetite is getting bigger and bigger. The money and grain I give is less money and grain, and I just beat the dog with meat and bones, and I will never return it! The money and grain I give are too much money and grain, and we can't take it out. A lot of supplies were transported to Jizhou some time ago, but the warehouse has not been filled yet!"

Yang Chou whispered: "Sir, I have an immature opinion. Don't blame me if you say it."

"But it's okay!" Zhang Yang looked at Yang Chou with anticipation, very curious.

Yang Chou whispered: "Sir, why not give the Black Mountain Army a batch of supplies, which can be regarded as eased the relationship between our two armies. Then, quietly make a clear path, and lead the water to the east to attack Dongjun! Dongjun is richer than our side, and the prefect Wang Gong is also an incompetent person, and it is more attractive than our Hanoi County!

The White Rao of the Black Mountain Army should be able to see the situation clearly and seize this opportunity. You should know that they attacked Hanoi County, on the one hand, they were collecting money and grain, and on the other hand, they also wanted to support Yu Du, who attacked Wei County. Dongjun was in the rear of Yuan Shao, and being able to attack it, just fulfilled the wish of the Black Mountain Army!"

"I'm afraid it's not 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.

The matchmaking matter was very good. Seeing Zhang Yang moved, Yang Chou hurriedly smiled and said, "It's useless to say that the two armies of Huagu are too strong to break our defense line. As long as you make up your mind, I can make up dozens of reasonable reasons for you!"

"good!"

...

A few days later, after paying a "heavy price", the two armies of the Montenegro Army broke through the defense line of Yang Chou of Hanoi Army, crossed Hanoi County, and directly attacked Dongjun.

Wang Gong, the prefect of Dongjun, could not resist, so he immediately asked Yuan Shao for help. At this time, Cui Juye, the general under Yuan Shao, was ambushed by Gongsun Zan, and seven or eight thousand people were damaged. A group of people in the northern part of Jizhou was in chaos. Yuan Shao, who was unable to move south, could only appoint Cao Ang to lead his army to quickly rush to Dongjun!
