Wei County.
Qingyuan, in a military camp.
Zhang He and Yan Liang were tied up and kneeling inside the commander's tent.
On both sides of the commander's tent.
The seats were filled with civil and military officials of Jizhou.
"Cough cough!"
Yuan Shao coughed out a mouthful of blood and said with a pale face,""It's fine that Tan 'er was defeated by the White Horse Righteous Followers at Longcao, but how could you all be defeated at the World Bridge? Could it be that Gongsun Zan has a second White Horse Righteous Followers?”
"A day after we ran out of food, Yan Gang suddenly appeared behind our camp with an army of ten thousand men!" Zhang He said bitterly.”
"Boom!"
Yuan Shao swept away countless bamboo slips and said coldly,""So what if he lost? There is no general in the world who is undefeated. But why did you return, but Yuan Xi fell into Gongsun Changping's hands?”
"This!"
Zhang He's expression changed slightly.
The corner of Yan Liang's eyes twitched as he lowered his head and explained,"Second Young Master couldn't help but be hungry. He took his guards and escaped from the camp to plunder the village. He happened to meet Yan Gang who came from Qinghe, so this general and Liu Yi could only break through to Zhongshan!”
"Trash!"
"Trash!"
Yuan Shao flew into a rage and scolded coldly," In wartime, military orders are like mountains. Yuan Xi is insensible. Don't you two understand? Even if they lacked provisions, they could still transfer them from the surrounding counties. How could they let him go out of the camp alone to plunder the people?”
"I know my sins!"
Zhang He and Yan Liang said bitterly.
"My lord!"
Qiushou sighed." The defeat of this battle is not due to the generals or the two young masters. No one expected Gongsun Changping to be so powerful, and even more so, that Guan Hai would surrender. If the Yellow Turban Army had not surrendered, we would not have been defeated. Let's go to Ganling tomorrow to negotiate with them!"”
"Humph!"
Yuan Shao glared angrily at the two of them.
Xu You rubbed the space between her eyebrows and said with an ugly expression,""My lord, Gongsun Zan has returned to Youzhou to guard against the Xianbei and Liu Yu. Gongsun Changping is in charge of three counties in Jizhou and one county in Qingzhou. His strength is not much different from ours. He will definitely not let the two young masters go so easily.”
"Cough cough!"
Yuan Shao coughed out another mouthful of blood and said coldly,""If anything happens to Yuan Xi, the two of you will be severely punished by military orders. You should pray that Gongsun Changping will relent and let them come back!”
"Here!"
The two of them blamed themselves.
Yuan Shao looked at Tian Feng and said,"Yuan Hao, what do you think will make Gongsun Changping willing to let him go?"”
"Difficult!"
"Extremely difficult!"
" Gongsun Changping is not an ordinary person," Tian Feng said." He has just taken control of the four armies, and his internal and military affairs are unstable. He will definitely not fight with us again. The two young masters are the leverage in his hands to restrict the lord from sending troops!”
"Hmm?"
Yuan Shao's gaze turned cold.
Xu You quickly said," My lord, it's not too late to talk about it after we meet. We can just wait for him to make a move now!"”
"All of you can leave!"
Yuan Shao waved his hand with an ashen expression.
The next day.
The sky lit up.
The Jizhou Army advanced in the direction of Ganling.
This meeting of enemies attracted the attention of everyone in the world.
Not only Gongsun Zan, Liu Bei, Kong Rong, Cao Cao, even Tao Qian of Xuzhou and Dong Zhuo of Chang 'an were paying attention.
At noon.
Three hundred steps away from Ganling City.
Gongsun Jing, Guan Hai, and Zhao Yun stood on the ground with Gao Gan.
Not far away.
Yuan Shao rode forward.
Xu You was beside him, and Shen Pei was with Xu You and Xu You.
Behind him, Yan Liang and Wen Chou led five hundred Jizhou Iron Cavalry to protect Gao Lan's wife and children.
"Phew!"
Yuan Shao stopped ten steps away from Gongsun Jing.
Xu You looked around and whispered,""My lord, there are at least 20,000 soldiers hidden in Ganling City!”
"Changping!"
Yuan Shao seemed to have aged a lot, and he said sincerely,""It's only been two months, and Uncle almost doesn't recognize you anymore. I've brought the Gao Clan here, so you can let Yuancai go!”
Gongsun Jing stood with his hands behind his back and said lightly,""Leave!"
"Here!"
Guan Hai drew his sword and cut the rope.
Gao Gan was slightly stunned and hurriedly ran to Yuan Shao's side.
"Let her go!"
Gongsun Jing said indifferently.
"Release him!"
Yuan Shao took a deep breath and said.
"My lord, we can use this to threaten you!" Xu You whispered.”
"Shut up!"
Yuan Shao roared in a low voice.
He could take a gamble.
However, he didn't dare to bet on Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi.
If he really used Gao Lan's family to threaten Gongsun Jing, then his two sons would probably die.
"Release him!"
Xu You said helplessly.
Seeing this, Yan Liang could only push out Gao Lan's wife and children.
Everything was normal and nothing bad happened until both sides arrived at their respective camps.
Gongsun Jing waved his hand and said lightly,""Guan Hai, take them to catch up with General Gao Lan. I'll talk to Prefecture Overseer Yuan about other things!”
"Here!"
Guan Hai shouted.
He brought Gao Lan's family and headed towards Ganling City.
Yuan Shao saw Guan Hai's figure disappear into the city gate and his gaze instantly became fierce. He said coldly,"Brat, you're too young!"
"Swoosh!"
"Swoosh!"
"Swoosh!"
In the blink of an eye.
Five hundred Jizhou cavalrymen drew their bows and nocked their arrows, aiming at Gongsun Jing and Zhao Yun.
"Release him!"
Yuan Shao said with a gloomy expression.
Zhao Yun's hand, which was holding the sword, was already covered in cold sweat. She said in a low voice,"Prince, what should we do?"
"Haha!"
Gongsun Jing smiled coldly.
"Father!"
"Quickly save me!"
A shrill scream could be heard coming from Ganling City.
The two brothers, Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi, were tied up on the city gate tower that was dozens of feet high, and they were begging Yuan Shao miserably.
