Guan Yu and Huang Zhong were both unfamiliar with each other. After the battle just now, both of them felt sympathy. After briefly introducing Xun You's recent situation, Guan Yu and Huang Zhong went out to Guangzong with the cavalry.

On the way to Guangzong City, Guo Jia said with some regret: "Lord, Gongsun Zan has occupied Guangzong City now, and it may not be that easy for us to come back."

But Han Zhan said disapprovingly: "Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Guangzong City has been in ruins. There are no people in the city. It is just a military town that has nothing to do with it. Since Gongsun Zan wants it, it doesn't matter."

"If we want to take Qingzhou, Guangzong City is the only way to go." Guo Jia said worriedly about Han Zhan's generosity: "Now he is an ally with Gongsun Zan, maybe he will use the opportunity to give us. But once the two sides meet, he can send troops from Guangzong City at any time to attack Jizhou City."

"Fengxiao!" Hearing what Guo Jia was worried about, Han Zhan said seriously: "Although this marquis does not have as many soldiers as Gongsun Zan, Wu has Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Huang Zhong, Xiahou Lan; Wen has you, Xun's uncle and nephew, Tian Yuanhao and others, it is not difficult to defeat Gongsun Zan."

Seeing that Han Zhan was so confident, Guo Jia did not continue to worry about this matter, but humbly asked: "Lord, Yuan Shao has been defeated by our army. Next, should our army be in Qingzhou?"

"That's right, this is how I think about it." Han Zhan nodded and said affirmatively: "I plan to let Zhao Yun, Xiahou Lan and others lead 10,000 troops, and Xun Gongda serves as military advisors to capture Qingzhou."

As soon as Guo Jia finished speaking, he immediately asked: "After seizing Qingzhou, I wonder who the lord plans to appoint anyone to take charge of Qingzhou?"

"You guys are my right-hand men, and you can't leave anyone." Han Zhan said with some embarrassment: "I'm also worried about who should take charge of Qingzhou."

The army arrived two miles away from Guangzong City. Han Zhan saw that the "Gongsun" flag was floating on the top of the city. In order to avoid causing misunderstandings, he quickly ordered Zhao Yun to set up camp on the spot.

While setting up camp, Huang Zhong led three people to enter the camp. When Han Zhan saw that one of them was Guan Yu, and although the other two had never seen them, they could still guess their identities from their appearance.

The white horse on the left is like a jade-like face, with two wind-catching ears, and looks a little longer than an ordinary person with both hands, and a sword is hung on each side of the belt. Needless to say, this must be Liu Bei and Liu Xuande, known as the descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan.

On the right, the one riding a black horse, with a leopard head, a ring-eyed, a swallow chin and a tiger whisker, and a dark skin. He was carrying a snake spear in his hand, which was Liu Bei and Guan Yu's sworn brother Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide.

Han Zhan bent down to salute the two of them, and said to Liu Bei with a smile: "It turns out that the envoy Liu has arrived. Zhan has never met him. I hope he will forgive me."

Seeing that Han Zhan recognized him, Liu Bei couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Does Tinghou know Liu?"

"Who doesn't know the three heroes of Liu, Guan and Zhang who fought against Lu Bu in front of Hulao Pass." Han Zhan quietly put a high hat on Liu Bei: "Zhan has been in contact with the three gods for a long time, and I'm really lucky to see him today."

"Mr. Ting is too rewarded!" After returning the gift immediately, Liu Bei turned his head to Zhang Fei and said, "Third brother, I have just come to see Mar. Ting!"

Hearing Liu Bei's orders, Zhang Fei hurried forward and bowed to Han Zhan: "Fei has seen Marquis Ting!"

In order to establish a good relationship with Liu, Guan and Zhang, Han Zhan also struck and said while the fire was hot: "Zhan once heard that Cheng Yuanzhi, the former Yellow Turban thief general, led 50,000 troops to invade Zhuo County. It was Liu Envoy, General Guan, and General Zhang led 500 newly recruited troops to meet the enemy, kill Cheng Yuanzhi, kill Deng Mao, defeated the Yellow Turban thief, and lifted the siege of Zhuo County. It is really admirable."

The things Han Zhan mentioned were the things that Liu, Guan and Zhang brothers were most proud of. At this moment, when Han Zhan said it in a respectful tone, the three of them felt quite helpful and had a better impression of him. Not to mention that Zhang Fei smiled so brightly that even Guan Yu, who had always been disliked, could not help but curl up slightly.

Liu Bei remembered the purpose of this trip and quickly said to Han Zhan: "Marquis Ting, Bei came to invite Marquis Ting to the city for a lecture on General Gongsun's order."

Han Zhan led Guo Jia and more than a dozen cavalrymen to Guangzong City with Liu, Guan and Zhang. In front of the prefect's house, he met Xun You. When Xun You saw Han Zhan's arrival, he hurried forward to salute and said respectfully: "Lord, General Gongsun has been waiting in the main hall for a long time."

The main hall was put on the banquet, and Gongsun Zan sat upright in the main seat, and his civil and military seats were sitting on both sides. Although he broke Yuan Shao's camp and captured Guangzong City today, his mood was still very bad. He spent nine or two tigers to attack Yuan Jun camp, killing more than 6,000 people. If Liu Bei had not sent Guan Yu to attack from the north of the village, he would not know what could break the camp and how many more people would have to die.

Although he broke through the camp, captured Guangzong City, and captured more than 6,000 people below Yu Yuanjin. However, Yuan Shao and his important civil and military officials had long fled. Even Wen Chou, who had been commanding his troops to fight with him in front of the wall of the village, broke out with more than 500 cavalrymen and fled to the south. It was precisely for this reason that he saw that Han Zhan, under the guidance of Liu Bei, still sat in his position and did not move when he walked into the main hall.

Liu Bei walked to Gongsun Zan and said to him with joy: "Brother, I have invited the Marquis of Zhangshuiting!"

Unexpectedly, Gongsun Zan looked Han Zhan up and down, and saw that the man wearing macaque clothes was too young and light, he asked in a contemptuous tone: "Are you Han Zhan, who was just awarded the title of Marquis of Zhangshuiting by the court?"

Gongsun Zan's words were asked very rudely. Not to mention Guo Jia, who was following Han Zhan, had a look of disgrace on his face. Even his subordinates felt that his lord was a bit rude in doing this.

Han Zhan took two steps forward without changing his expression, bent down and bowed to Gongsun Zan, and said politely: "The one sitting on it, but General Gongsun, who defeated the Yellow Turbans of Qingzhou with 20,000 infantry and cavalry, killed 100,000, captured 70,000, and seized countless carriages and property?"

Although everyone could hear Han Zhan's words were suspected of flattering, Gongsun Zan felt very helpful. He laughed, stood up from his seat, walked down the steps and walked to Han Zhan, took his hand to the table on the right, and said politely: "Mr. Tinghou, the wine and food have been prepared for you, why are you late? You must have three glasses of wine?"

"Thank you for General Gongsun's good intentions," Han Zhan saw that his flattery made Gongsun Zan's attitude towards him change, so he smiled and said, "Then Han will be disrespectful."

…………

Just as Han Zhan and Gongsun Zan were having a banquet in the prefect's mansion in Guangzong City, Yuan Shao and his gang were still on their way to escape like a stray dog.

Seeing that there were no pursuers behind, Yan Liang hurriedly passed Yuan Shao, tied the reins of his horse with his hand, and said to him: "Lord, there are no pursuers behind him, so we should find a place to rest for a while, and then hurry up after we have enough energy."

Yuan Shao and his group came to a small wood on the side of the road. When the soldiers led their horses to eat grass and drink water, Yuan Shao looked at the dozens of people around him, and tears immediately came down. He sighed and said, "I didn't expect that my army would collapse in less than a day. In order to save me, even Lu Weihuang, Zhao Rui and others were killed by Guan Yu."

"Lord, it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years." Feng Ji hurriedly comforted him and said, "When we arrive in Yecheng, we join Xun Chen's army, and then retake Jizhou and Guangzong City, and kill Han's children and Gongsun Zan to make a fuss."

As soon as he finished speaking, a loud slap was heard on the face. Feng Ji covered his face and looked at Yuan Shao blankly. He didn't know what he said wrongly, but he actually touched his lord's re-scaling again.

Yuan Shao pointed at him with his finger and said angrily: "If it weren't for the strategies you offered, how could we be so embarrassed as we are today? I wish I could tear you into pieces immediately to relieve my anger."

Feng Ji immediately remembered Yuan Shao's actions of taking his anger on others, and quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, begging Yuan Shao to forgive him. Seeing this scene, Ju Su immediately took a few steps back. He had already asked for love for Feng Ji, so there was no need to plead for such a despicable villain anymore, so he should stay away.

Yan Liang saw that Feng Ji's forehead was bleeding and stained with dust on the ground, and his whole body became dusty. He felt a little embarrassed and hurriedly said to Yuan Shao: "Lord, Yan Liang is bold, I beg you to spare Mr. Yuantu..."

Before he could finish his words, a rapid sound of horse hooves came from afar. Everyone in the forest was startled and quickly looked in the direction where the sound came. He saw a piece of dust rising high in the north. The experienced Yan Liang secretly called out a bad thing and said to Yuan Shao: "Lord, maybe it was Gongsun Zan's cavalry chasing him!"

The judge on the side asked curiously: "General Yan Liang, how did you know that the cavalry is coming?"

"Isn't this simple?" Yan Liang looked at Guo Tu with a contemptuous look and said to everyone: "If the dust raised is low and moving slowly, it means that the infantry is coming; you see that the dust is high and moving so fast, it must be the cavalry." He turned around and said to Yuan Shao, "You should ask the lord to get on the horse quickly!"

The group hurriedly got on the horse and prepared to continue to run towards the unavoidable. Before they could run far, the distance between the cavalry behind them and them was approaching. One of the generals with helmets and armor rushed out of the team and rushed towards Yuan Shao and the others with the good horse under their crotch.

When he was still a stone's throw away, he shouted at the top of his voice: "Can the lord be ahead?"

Hearing this voice, Yan Liang couldn't help but feel shocked. He quickly pinched the horse and turned his head to look behind. After seeing the person coming clearly, he also shouted at Yuan Shao who was running for life: "Lord, don't be shocked, Wen Chou is here!"

When he heard that the visitor was Wen Chou, Yuan Shao and others slowed down their horses and turned their heads to look back. After seeing clearly that the visitor was Wen Chou, Yuan Shao breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head and returned.

Wen Chou quickly turned over and got off the horse, knelt on one knee, and said to Yuan Shao: "Lord, Gongsun Zan is powerful, we can't hold on. The last general can only lead a group of people to break through the siege and come to find the lord."

Yuan Shao suddenly remembered his second son Yuan Xi, who was still in Guangzong City, and hurriedly asked Wen Chou: "Wen Chou, have you ever seen Xier along the way?"

Wen Chou shook his head and answered honestly, "I have never seen the second young master."

When Yuan Xi heard that Yuan Xi was missing, Yuan Shao's first reaction was that he had died in the chaos, so he couldn't help but beat his chest and stamp his feet and howled. The civil and military officials were willing to persuade him, but thought that in just a few days, the whereabouts of the eldest son Yuan Tan and the second son Yuan Xi were missing. He wanted to persuade him but didn't know how to persuade him, so he could only stay aside.

In the end, Ju Su couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he stepped forward to hold Yuan Shao's horse reins and said to him: "Lord, no one can be resurrected by death. Please forgive me for the change. It is not safe here at present, so we should rush to Yecheng as soon as possible and meet with Xun You."

"Yes, yes, yes," Yuan Shao thought that Gongsun Zan and Han Zhan might send troops to chase him at any time. He quickly lifted up his sleeves and wiped his tears, and ordered: "We set off for Yecheng."

Many of the 500 cavalrymen who followed Wen Chou to break out of the siege ran away on the road, and the remaining 300 cavalrymen were all covered with crooked armor and exhausted. When they heard Yuan Shao say they were going to set off for Yecheng, no one complained. They immediately reorganized their team and continued to march south after Yuan Shao.

That night, hundreds of people spent the night in a woods northeast of Guantao. Yuan Shao was afraid that the city's expo would send people to attack him, so he specially sent a lot of horses to Guantao, so that as long as there was any movement in the city, they could escape immediately. At the same time, he followed Ju Su's advice and asked the cavalry to tie the branches to the ponytails and run back and forth in the forest, creating the illusion that there was a large army hiding in the forest.

Gao Lan in Guantao City heard that a cavalry appeared in the northeast of the city, and the flag looked like Yuan's army. Since he had not received the news of Yuan Shao's defeat at Jieqiao, he thought that the cavalry that was discovered by the horses was Yuan Shao's army who came to attack Guantao, so he quickly ordered people to close the city gate and mobilized soldiers to the city to prepare for defense.

There was nothing to say all night, and just dawn the next day, Yuan Shao and others set off again.

Yuan Shao and others walked more than thirty miles southward, getting farther and farther away from Guantao. Seeing that there were no pursuers coming from behind, Yuan Shao said to Ju Su with lingering fear: "Your Majesty, it seems that Gao Lan in the city cannot understand our reality, so he dare not act rashly."

Ju Su raised his hand to wipe away the cold sweat from his forehead and said with relief: "Thank God, as long as Gao Lan does not send troops, we will be able to reach Yecheng smoothly."

At this moment, the provocateur sent by Yan Liang ran back and reported to Yuan Shao: "Report to the lord, a large army appears in front of us, heading towards our direction!"

When Yuan Shao heard that there was a large army in front of him, he was frightened and could not say a word. Fortunately, Yan Liang was still calm enough, so he asked Tanma: "Can you see the other party's flag clearly?"

"Reply to the general's words," the tentma said respectfully: "The villain only saw a big word 'Xun' on the flag!"
