Ju Shu raised his eyebrows and asked Yuan Shao: "Lord, I wonder how many troops Chunyu Qiong's army has lost?"

Yuan Shao read the document carefully again, and his face became even more strange. After a while, he said in surprise: "Chunyu Qiong took 10,000 cavalry and infantry to fight, three thousand were killed, three thousand were captured, and more than three thousand remain..."

Ju Su frowned again and said, "Lord, everything should be prioritized. Let Li Yang put the matter aside for the time being and then deal with it. It is better to let him return to Changshan. It is said that Zhang Yan is trying to plan it now, so why not let him fight! The most urgent thing in our army is to fight with Gongsun Zan Jieqiao, which is related to the life and death of our army."

Yuan Shao thought for a moment and said resolutely: "Your words are reasonable! Defeat Gongsun Zan first, and then do this! The position of Li Yang Prefect is already vacant, ~ This place is the place where Jizhou is located, and no one can be stationed without a garrison, so that Jiang Yiqu can replace him!"

Soon, the people in the conference hall had dispersed. Only Yuan Shao stayed alone in the hall, his eyes were thoughtful and he muttered to himself.

"...Li Yang...Chunyu Qiong...Wen Zixiao!"

This was a concession made by Yuan Shao to Wen Chou, and he had no choice but to do so, because Gongsun Zan's soldiers had already moved south in a fierce manner. The covetition of Jizhou forced Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan, the two Hebei overlords, to fight.

In this way, Wen Chou was able to return to Changshan Kingdom smoothly, but before that, he had a clearer understanding of the future. That is, taking advantage of the mutual attacks between Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao, he would conquer the Heishan Army that had suffered a long disaster in Jizhou. This is a big project. After all, the Heishan Army in Jizhou has reached a total of one million, and the formal soldiers are no less than 70,000 to 80,000, otherwise they would not have suffered a long disaster and could not be completely suppressed by the government. This is a challenge.

As for Wen Chou's idea, his planners Tian Feng, Xun Yu and others also agreed with it very much. After all, Yuan Shao, who integrated Jizhou and Gongsun Zan, who integrated Youzhou, were not something Wen Chou could resist now. Only by further development can he truly join the Hebei battle for hegemony. If the power grows again, the Black Mountain Army represented by Zhang Yan is undoubtedly a good target.

However, although Yuan Shao had to make concessions due to the current situation, it was an indisputable fact that he destroyed the former Jizhou Mu Han Fu. In a sense, Wen Chou was promoted by Han Fu, so he had to express his opinions on this matter. While killing Chunyu Qiong, he raised a banner to seek justice for Han Gong, saying all about Yuan Shao's faults, so he could squeeze Yuan Shao in the general sense, at least not only not under Yuan Shao's control, and successfully control Changshan, and even the Julu, Zhongshan and other counties around Changshan! Thus, he competed with Yuan Shao in Jizhou!

But apart from this, Wen Chou had no time to do anything. Because as Ju Su said, Changshan Kingdom is currently under attack from Zhang Yan and other Black Mountain troops! If there is no instigation from Yuan Shao's power, Wen Chou would not believe it even if he was beaten to death. So after Wen Chou's army solved Chunyu Qiong, he went north to Changshan Kingdom without stopping.

Even when you pass by Yecheng, Wen Chou passes directly without avoiding suspicion. It can be seen that his actions are urgent and also means showing off his power. However, as Yuan Shao's base camp, according to Wen Chou's estimate, there should be no less than 30,000 to 40,000 troops stationed! Yuan Shao's total troops should be as many as 70,000 to 80,000, and of course some counties and states did not belong to Yuan Shao's power. But it won't take too long.

On November 23, in the first year of Chuping, Wen Chou finally led his army back to Changshan Kingdom, which was his first return after he led his troops for half a year. However, unlike when he went there, Wen Chou's military strength became stronger, and it increased by nearly twice! This is not the development of Changshan Base Camp.

At present, Wen Chou's army can reach 50,000 in total! Among them, Wen Chou brought back 30,000 soldiers, and the number of soldiers trained by Li Jin, Liu Zhong, Tie Qian and others in Changshan reached 20,000!

This was something Wen Chou did not expect, and the large-scale recruitment and training of soldiers was also due to pressure from Zhang Yan! Since Wen Chou led his troops to Yingchuan, Zhang Yan has not cut off his intention to enter Changshan Kingdom. So Liu Zhong, Tie Qian and others have recruited soldiers like this. Fortunately, Wen Chou has stored a lot of grain in the past two years. Therefore, even if it is a 50,000 soldiers, Wen Chou can still afford it.

At present, there are Tian Feng, Tian Chou, Xun Yu, Xun Yan, Guo Jia, Li Jin, Li Xuan, Jiang Xian and others; there are Zhao Yun, Yan Liang, Dian Wei, Wen Ba, Han Meng, Xu Rong, Li Gan, Li Dian, Lu Liang, Xiahou Lan and others, which are all complete and unprecedented in the grand occasion. In addition, there are Wen Ji, Liu Qing, Dong Zhi, Liu Zhong, Tie Qian, Guo Daxian and other generals. Although they are still not comparable to those major forces in history, they are more than enough to stand in Changshan County.

In addition, the agricultural and commercial development of Changshan Kingdom controlled by Wen Chou can be said to be quite large, not only with abundant population, but also with united people. This is a great reliance for Wen Chou to expand externally. At the same time, in the education of county people and the cultivation of future talents, Wen Chou has also formed a very good system within the jurisdiction of Wen Chou, not only a large-scale school museum, but also a study inscription, library, etc. This was formed under the jurisdiction of Jiang Hui and the strong support of Li Jin.

It can be said that Wen Chou doesn't have to worry about the shortage of middle and lower-level officials in the future. As long as he can capture the place, there will be personnel to manage it. At this time, the advantages of Wen Chou's time travel have gradually emerged, and the future situation of mergers and separatism will be further accelerated. It is necessary to show the huge foundation of Wen Chou's hiding for four or five years.

The first test of all this is Zhang Yan. Many of these two forces are fighting each other, and they are not acquainted each other. Both sides have their own victory or defeat. However, Wen Chou gradually became stronger in the battle, but Zhang Yan was taking advantage of the old capital during the Zhongping period. The foreseeable future, even if Zhang Yan and the black bandit forces represented by Zhang Yan and the smooth rise of Wen Chou's forces, thus participating in the competition for the situation in Hebei.

This is just a matter of event. Wen Chou has strong confidence in this regard, and Tian Feng, Tian Chou, Zhao Yun, Yan Liang and others also have strong confidence. What they have to face is not Zhang Yan’s problem, but how to face the problems of Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao after annexing Zhang Yan. This is what they have to prepare for. (To be continued.)
