On the mountain path.
Shen Pei was speechless for a long time.
He did not know how to refute Yuan Jun's surrender.
Yuan Shao had the reputation of being the descendant of four generations and three dukes. He was able to gather countless civil and military officials and was even able to convince the hearts of the people.
However, just as Tian Feng had said, it was meaningless to be able to recommend people but not use them. It would only make people feel disappointed.
And this drawback.
Usually, it was a form of resentment.
The longer it accumulated, the more terrifying it would be when it exploded.
With Yan Liang's death this time, no one going to fight to the death for the Yuan Clan was the omen.
"How sad!"
Shen Pei's eyes were filled with sadness.
He glanced at the surrendered soldiers and said bitterly,""Surrender to Gongsun Changping. I don't blame you. I only blame the lord for not being able to convince people. But do you really think Gongsun Changping is a wise lord?”
"Isn't it?"
Gongsun Jing asked as he rode down the mountain.
"You're here too, so why aren't you fighting?" Shen Pei was startled.”
"Why do we have to fight?"
Gongsun Jing smiled faintly and said," Qingzhou has many civil officials and generals. There are also 40,000 to 50,000 soldiers in the main force. If I charge at the forefront of every battle, how will the soldiers obtain merits and rewards? I'm the leader, so I can't take away the merits of my subordinates, right?”
"Gongsun Changping, are you still the prince who hides behind Gongsun Yue?" Shen Pei mocked himself.”
"Why not!"
Gongsun Jing said with an open gaze.
Shen Pei looked in the direction of Yang City and said bitterly,"Your methods and strategies have far surpassed General Gongsun and Deacon Yuan. If I'm not wrong, you were the one who invited the Black Mountain Army!”
"You're wrong!"
"Zhang Yan is General Xiao Sheng of Qingzhou!" Gongsun Jing said calmly.”
Shen Pei came to a sudden realization and shook his head in an instant."It's impossible for Zhang Yan to submit to you. Deacon Yuan has already said that he will surrender many times, but he has never succeeded!”
"Nothing is impossible!"
Gongsun Jing shook his head and said indifferently,"" You didn't give the Black Mountain Army enough respect. You've always treated them as mountain bandits, but you've forgotten their original intention of starting the Yellow Turban Rebellion. It was just to survive. What Yuan Shao wanted was the Black Mountain Army, not a million soldiers!”
"You want to bring all the Mountain Bandits into Jizhou!”
"Not bad!"
"They are also commoners!"
" They are a group of people who yearn for peace more," Gongsun Jing said in a deep voice." It is just that they are not allowed to live in this era. Therefore, they can only raise their weapons and fight for a chance to survive with their flesh and blood!”
"Haha!"
Shen Pei laughed at himself.
They had also thought of accepting the million soldiers of the Black Mountain Army.
However, raising a million people could instantly bring down the entire Jizhou. Therefore, he wanted Zhang Yan's main force to enter Jizhou. He did not expect that such a small difference would actually ruin Yuan Shao's power in Jizhou.
"Surrender!"
"Still not surrendering!"
Gongsun Jing said calmly.
Shen Pei straightened his body and shouted,"My Lord is in the north!"”
"Please!"
Gongsun Jing waved his hand.
"Young General, he knows about our deployment!" Zhao Yun immediately stopped him.”
Shen Pei galloped his horse in the direction of Yang City. A hint of reluctance flashed in his eyes as he laughed,"Gongsun Changping, you do have the qualifications to be the overlord of the Central Plains. How great would it be if you had taken over Jizhou back then!”
"Whoosh!"
An arrow pierced through Shen Pei's back.
Gongsun Jing put away his longbow and said with a complicated expression,""Zilong, send two surrendered soldiers to escort Shen Pei back to the Jizhou camp!”
"Here!"
Zhao Yun agreed in shock.
Shen Pei's loyalty shocked him.
Even if he knew he would die, he still had to face Yuan Shao's camp.
Gongsun Jing looked at the white horse and said in a deep voice,""Bury our fallen comrades on the hills and let them watch us take Jizhou. Then, gather the surrendered troops and return to Xin Du to prepare for the final battle!”
"Here!"
The white horse shouted.
Shen Pei was dead.
Gongsun Jing could only feel pity.
However, he would not let Shen Pei return to the Ji Province camp alive.
A mastermind who could not be used by him, a person who wanted to return to the local camp, could only become a dead man.
He was not Cao Cao.
He couldn't let people go through five trials and six battles and leave alive.
He wanted to be the overlord of the entire world, not just the overlord of the Central Plains.
A war ended.
Yuan Shao's main force was decreasing by a bit.
Gongsun Jing had all of his white horse followers change into Yuan's armor and transferred two thousand surrendered soldiers to make up five thousand cavalry. He also put on Yan Liang's armor, raised his long saber, and raised Yuan's flag as he headed towards Xindu.
Battle of Fuliu.
It was a small trick he used to take down Xindu.
Attacking the city by force would only result in the deaths of a large number of Qingzhou soldiers. This was not the result he wanted. He wanted to take Xindu without bloodshed, then gather the four armies and wipe out Yuan Dynasty's main force at Julu.
A day later.
Zhao Yun led the thousands of surrendered soldiers back to Xin Du.
On the same day, he led seven thousand regular cavalry out of the Qingzhou camp.
On one hand, it was to create the illusion that the Qingzhou military camp was empty so that Gao Gan would let Gongsun Jing into the city.
On one hand, it was to help Hejian and form a siege as soon as possible.
