When the eyes of the people of the world were focused on the state, when many people were worried about the situation of the Northern Army. A 50,000-strong army of the Northern Expedition has quietly entered the Jizhou boundary.

"General Zhang, in front of you is Boling County in Jizhou, and after Boling County, one hundred and fifty miles south is Jizhou." A military general riding a war horse reported to a general next to him who was wearing an iron chain armor and an iron beast helmet.

This general is none other than Zhang Liao of the Tun army in Zhuo County, Dai County.

But how could Zhang Liao lead his army here?

It turned out that Xu Shu had previously offered Chen Chu a plan to draw salary from the bottom of the kettle. Zhang Liao led 50,000 soldiers stationed in Zhuojun to conquer the Northern Legion through Youzhou and smashed Yuan Shao's stronghold - Jizhou. As long as Jizhou is occupied, Yuan Shao's character will definitely return to Jizhou, then the crisis in Jiguan can be resolved.

In fact, this strategy is very dangerous, and it can be said to be a dangerous move.

It is very likely that Zhang Liaobu, who attacked Jizhou, will be encircled and finally annihilated.

The Northern Expeditionary Army must take advantage of Yuan Shao's recapture of Jizhou to concentrate its forces to eliminate or defeat Cao Cao's army, and only in this way can the crisis be truly relieved. If the Northern Expeditionary Army fails to seize the opportunity, then the Northern Expeditionary Army will be really dangerous, and Zhang Liaobu's efforts and sacrifices will become worthless.

Yuan Shao would never have thought that the Northern Army would take such a step, because there were still Zhang Chun's forces in Zhongshan and Liu Yu's forces in Youzhou between Zhuojun and Jizhou.

However, what Yuan Shao and even Cao Cao did not expect was that Chen Chu had secretly sent someone to persuade Liu Yu of Youzhou, and after promising all kinds of benefits, Liu Yu agreed that Chen Chu's army would pass through the area under his control and go to Jizhou. It was precisely because of the purpose of convincing Liu Yu that Zhang Liao's army did not pass through Youzhou and enter Jizhou until today, but this timing was just right for the entire battle situation.

On the fifth day after Chen Chu arrived at Huguan, Zhang Liao's army captured Boling County north of Jizhou with lightning speed. The 10,000 Yuan Shao troops in Boling County were completely annihilated in an unguarded situation, and most of them surrendered.

After capturing Boling County, Zhang Liao left only 3,000 men to guard Boling led by a deputy general, and he himself led the main army to continue to march south at the speed of a rapid march.

Jizhou was originally Han Fu's base, and now it is Yuan Shao's rear base. The grain and grass of Yuan Shao's army outside Jiguan were all transported from Jizhou.

Although Jizhou was very important to Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao did not leave many troops here, with a total strength of only 50,000 troops, of which only 30,000 were stationed in Jizhou City. It's not that Yuan Shao was negligent, but according to the environment around Jizhou, there are really no forces worth guarding against for Yuan Shao.

The gates of Jizhou were wide open, and the soldiers guarding the gates were scattered on both sides of the gates, and occasionally people entered and exited through the gates.

A young soldier did not seem to be resting well, and he yawned incessantly with his spear. Seeing this, another older soldier next to him teased, "What? Could it be that I was drained of energy by some bitch yesterday? The

young soldier smiled proudly, glanced at the old soldier, and said as if to show off, "That girl is fucking strong!" It's so sassy to the bone! Hurt Lao Tzu tossed for a night! The

old soldier rolled his eyes, "You just blow it!" For that little money, you still want to play!

"If you don't believe it, forget it! I'm going to enjoy it tonight! Gee! When I think of her **, I can't wait! The young soldier swallowed, his face full of greed.

The older soldier glanced at the younger soldier suspiciously and asked, "You kid won't really hand over the peach blossom luck, right?"

Seeing the suspicious and envious eyes of the older soldiers, the young soldiers couldn't help but feel very proud.

While the two soldiers were talking nonsense, a caravan of considerable size came along the official road.

"There's work done! Give me a little spirit! The petty officer in charge of guarding the city gate raised his voice.

When the surrounding soldiers heard this, they hurriedly surrounded the junior officers and blocked the official road into the city.

The size of this caravan is really not small. There were a hundred mule-horse carts in total, and each mule-horse cart was piled with goods. There were about a few hundred people in the caravan, in addition to a hundred or so chariot handles, and hundreds of guards with waist and crotch weapons.

The caravan soon came to the city gate, and the leader made a gesture, and the whole caravan immediately stopped.

Then a middle-aged man dressed as a scribe stepped out of the caravan and walked towards the petty officer at the city gate. "This general, we are from the Li family's caravan, and we want to go to the south to sell goods, but it is not early, so we want to rest in the city for one night!" The middle-aged scribe said with a smirk.

The petty officer glanced at the middle-aged scribe haughtily, then looked at the entire caravan, and said, "It's okay to enter the city, but every car must be checked!" "。 It's normal to go into the city to inspect it, but he wants to check every car, which is obviously deliberately making things difficult for the other party.

The middle-aged scribe hurriedly said, "The brothers are exposed to the wind and sun at the gate of this city, it is really too hard! Please accept this little meaning, the general. As he spoke, the middle-aged scribe took out a piece of gold from his bosom and secretly handed it to the junior officer.

The little officer's eyes lit up suddenly, and then he said to the middle-aged scribe in a slightly soothing tone: "This boss is really good at being a man!" The

middle-aged scribe hurriedly smiled: "It should be!" You're welcome!

After a pause, the middle-aged scribe pleaded: "General, the goods we transport are all easily damaged!" Do you think you can be accommodating? The

little officer smiled and patted the middle-aged scribe on the shoulder and said, "No problem! After all, it's not easy for everyone! The

middle-aged scribe was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly thanked: "Then thank you general!" The

little officer laughed, then turned around and ordered his sergeant: "Get out of the way!" "。 When the sergeants heard this, they immediately dispersed to both sides.

"Looks like the boss is getting the benefits again!" A soldier whispered to his colleagues, his tone sour. The colleague nodded, looking at his boss with a little envy.

The petty officer accepted the benefits of a middle-aged scribe, so he let the convoy go without any inspection. The long convoy entered the city of Jizhou in an orderly manner.

It was getting dark, the gates were closed, and the whole city was quiet. A few patrolling soldiers wandered absentmindedly over the city gate.

At this moment, a remote corner of the eastern part of the city was crowded. In the darkness of the night, I saw that I don't know how many people were busy, and they changed out of civilian clothes and put on black armor; There were also many soldiers in black armor who disembarked from the mule carts.

Finally, nearly a thousand soldiers in armor and armed with blades gathered.

So many soldiers gathered together, but they didn't make much noise, which shows that they are all extremely elite soldiers.

"Are you ready?" In front of everyone, a tall and imposing man deliberately lowered his voice and asked.

"Ready!" The sergeants also lowered their voices and answered together.

Immediately, the big man turned his head to a middle-aged scribe beside him and said, "Mr. Zhang, you first find a place to hide." Later, after our army captures Jizhou, General Zhang will come to thank Mr. Zhang personally! The

middle-aged scribe hugged his fist at the big man and said: "I know how to do it, the general doesn't have to worry about it!"

The big man nodded, and then ordered the sergeants who were already ready to go: "Go!" As

the night grew darker, the soldiers who stood guard on the gate tower pecked their heads one by one. The defense of Jizhou City appeared to be very lax.

In the darkness of the night, four sergeants in black armor silently touched the four doors. The soldiers of Yuan Shaojun, who were drowsy, were unconsciously solved one by one.

The black-clad sergeants quickly took control of the four gates, and then they opened the gates.

The tens of thousands of troops who had been waiting outside the city immediately entered the city, unexpectedly annihilated the defenseless 30,000 defenders of Jizhou, and captured Yuan Shao's important adviser, Guo Tu.

After Guo Tu was captured, he didn't react to what happened for a long time. When Guo Tu finally understood that it was the Northern Army that attacked Jizhou City, he was so surprised that he didn't close his mouth for a long time! He never dreamed that the Northern Army would surprise Jizhou.

The success of the Northern Army's surprise attack on Jizhou was like a bombshell exploding in Hebei, which shocked the world.

"General, the people here don't seem to welcome us!" Zhang Liao's lieutenant Zeng Guang said heartily.

At this time, it was already the morning of the next day, and the adjutant general Zeng Guang and a group of personal soldiers were accompanying Zhang Liao to ride his horse slowly on the main street of Jizhou City. There were no pedestrians on the streets, and the doors of the houses on both sides of the street were closed, and there seemed to be a pair of vigilant eyes among them.

Zhang Liao glanced at both sides of the street and said lightly: "When we first arrived, it is normal for the people to have doubts. Don't worry about that, we'll just get the job done and we'll get out of here. The

lieutenant nodded.

After the Northern Expeditionary Army led by Zhang Liao occupied Jizhou, it immediately arranged defenses in full swing. They don't have to do anything now, all they have to do is wait, waiting for the arrival of Yuan Shao's army.

During the time when Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were attacking the state, the scholars of Luoyang rejoiced, and in their minds, Chen Chu, the most evil of all, was bound to be crushed into powder by the million-strong army of the two princes.

But as the saying goes, 'life is unsatisfactory in ten **'. Just when the scholars in Luoyang were as excited as if they had taken medicine, two pieces of news came one after another that shocked them. First, the Northern Army united with the Xiliang Army in Guanzhong to exterminate Dong Zhuo and rescue the emperor; Later, the Northern Army suddenly passed through Youzhou and attacked Jizhou, which simply shocked the Luoyang clan and even the world's heroes were stunned!

Sun Jian, the Taishou of Changsha, sighed with emotion after learning the news of the surprise attack on Jizhou by the Northern Army: "I didn't expect Chen Chu to be able to do such a dangerous move!" The battle situation in the Central Plains is only afraid that the outcome is unpredictable!

At this time, a handsome military general next to Sun Jian who was wearing a chain armor and a golden crown with tied hair said unconvinced: "Father, are you exalting that Chen Chu too much!" Chen Chu was just lucky, and he relied on the strength of his troops to get into this situation, but now that the two princes of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao joined forces to attack him, his advantage is no longer there, and defeat is only a matter of time!
