Chapter 524 (1/2)

One can look at the end of the wilderness, standing alone on a big tree.

A pair of wings spread out to be five feet long. Two eagles with crooked claws catching branches were singing. Suddenly, they woke up and seemed to see their prey.

SA! The eagle is full of energy, wings spread out in an instant, the wind blows on his face, and flies to the South with the eyes of predators.

Luoyang City, the general's mansion.

”Where is the general?”

Jia Xu said with a deep look.

”The general is resting. I don't know what Mr. Wenhe has to do. Otherwise, don't disturb the general.” Guan Hai blocked the way.

”Zifu, go in and report, Hebei emergency information!”

Seeing Jia Xu's solemn appearance, Guan Hai didn't dare to despise him. He rushed in and reported it to him. Soon after, he strode out.

”Mr. Wenhe, please come in.”

Jia Xu goes in at once. Liu Ye has just got up. He is wearing a thin shirt and looks sleepy.

Jia Xu was slightly apologetic: ”it's a crime to disturb the general's rest, but this news is very important, Xu really has to disturb the general.”

”Well, you can tell. It's urgent.”

”Yuan Shao led his army to besiege Yijing. Gongsun Zan sent his son gongsunfan to Heishan Zhangyan for help, but it was a little late. Yijing had been broken down by Yuan's army, and Gongsun Zan set himself on fire in despair. Now all of Youzhou is owned by Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao takes his second son Yuan Xi as the governor of Youzhou, and Tian Feng and Gao Lan are the literary and military assistants.”

”Gongsun Zan lost?” Hearing this, Liu Ye's sleepiness disappears without a trace.

”It's just like this. At present, Yuan Shao has occupied Youzhou. He has come to the place where horses are produced. On the other hand, he has no worries about his future. He is afraid that he will try to do something wrong in the future.” Jia Xushen.

”Well, Yuan's family in Runan are all disorderly officials and thieves. First, Yuan Shu called himself Emperor without authorization. This Yuan Shao is not a man of peace.”

The defeat of Gongsun Zan was of great significance. From then on, it marked that Yuan Shao's family was the largest in Hebei. We should know that among the several states in Hebei, Jizhou had the greatest potential for war. Because Jizhou was densely populated and had no machinery in ancient times, the number of population represented the high and low productivity. The environment of Bingzhou and Youzhou was bitter and cold, while Jizhou had vast arable land and rich economy. Yuan Shao was basically difficult to deal with, but he got Youzhou. On the one hand, he was able to produce war horses; on the other hand, he was not restrained. It was inevitable to grow stronger.

”No, there must be containment.” Liu Ye paced back and forth in the hall, and stopped drinking.

”Yes, and the military spy learned that Yuan Shao seemed to secretly send envoys to Linzi.”

”Linzi?” Liu Ye's eyes are full of Brilliance: ”is it difficult for Yuan Shao to form an alliance with Cao Cao and jointly exert pressure on our army?”

”Yuan Shao had many capable people under his command. Ju Gonghe and Tian Yuanhao had unique vision and were good at military strategy. Xu you and Guo Tu were quick witted, and they were not incompetent in meeting discipline and matching.” Jia Xu judged: ”I'm afraid Yuan Shao is exactly what he meant. After all, it's a dream to defeat our army with his own strength.”

At present, Liu Ye is the most powerful of all the princes in the world. Under his command, he occupies Liangzhou, Yongzhou, Sili, Yanzhou, Bingzhou and Nanyang County in the north of Jingzhou. Liu Bei is Liu Ye's vassal, occupying half of the world.
