Han Fu commanded the army and followed Zhang Wen to the grassland. The army horses Han Fu took with him were county soldiers drawn from various counties in Jizhou.

Now in Julu County, there are only 3,000 county soldiers and 7,000 village warriors, but the number of moth thieves attacking Ying Tao actually exceeds 100,000.

Guo Dian's letter already described the matter as extremely urgent.

Han Fu is also a conservative person. He does not seek merit, but seeks no faults.

Therefore, after Han Fu received the news that Ying Tao was in danger, he immediately said to Zhang Wen:"Ming Gong, Ying Tao is surrounded by moth thieves. The situation is critical. I want to divide 10,000 troops to rescue Ying Tao."

Divide 10,000 troops to rescue Ying Tao. Ying Tao, this is a two-pronged approach. You can not only rescue Ying Tao, but also stay in the grassland and continue fighting.

Zhang Wen agreed.

But, bad news spreads one piece at a time.

On the third day after Han Fu divided his troops to rescue Yitao, the prefects of Changshan, Zhaojun, Zhongshan and other counties sent dead soldiers one after another to ask for help from Han Fu.

It turns out that after the Jizhou army and horses left Jizhou, the rebels from Changshan, Zhaojun, Zhongshan, Shangdang, Hanoi and other places contacted together and attacked the counties and counties, burning, killing and looting.

For a time, war broke out everywhere, and Jizhou, as well as many counties in Bingzhou connected to Jizhou, were attacked by rebels.

Among this group of rebels, there were real thieves, and even more, they were bandits who took advantage of the situation.

Han Fu was the governor of Jizhou. Jizhou was in turmoil and war was everywhere. How could he remain calm?

Although Han Fu is a disciple of the Yuan family, he may not be able to keep his official position if he is really impeached.

At this time, Han Fu was anxious and wanted to lead his troops back to Jizhou.

It's just that Zhang Wen's face doesn't look good.

The Xianbei people went to war in civil war.

Gongsun Zan went back to rescue You Beiping.

Han Fu also wanted to go back.

This time the crusade against the moth thieves was not led by the elite Northern Army, but by the Southern Army that had just been defeated.

The Southern Army currently has less than 10,000 soldiers, relying entirely on the troops of Han Fu and Liu Yu to support the situation. If Han Fu leaves, the coalition forces from various states to fight against the moth thieves will be reduced by half!

Without Jizhou's troops and horses, there would be no absolute advantage in military strength.

Inside the military tent, the atmosphere was strange.

Zhang Wen's face was scary. It was the first time I saw him so fierce.

Han Fu did not dare to look at Zhang Wen, but sat aside.

At this time, Liu Yu said:"Although there is another banditry in Jizhou, it is still a minor disease. The moth thieves like Zhou Cheng are the big problem. Wen Jie cannot lose the big because of the small things. If the moth thieves continue to grow stronger and the court investigates them, you I can't escape the blame."

If Han Fu had not sent troops outside the Great Wall, then the banditry in Jizhou would have been nothing.

However, Han Fu left Jizhou and took away most of Jizhou's troops and horses. These were elite county soldiers drawn from various counties.

Therefore, the troops and horses left behind in Jizhou were not only few, but also ineffective. When dealing with banditry, they were very passive and could only defend the city.

After listening to Liu Yu's words, Han Fu hesitated again.

……

Three days later.

News came from the Zhen family, confirming that the Wuhuan people were plundering Youbeiping and that Gongsun Zan was returning to rescue Youzhou.

Moreover, it is not only the information from Youzhou, but also the news from Jizhou.

Jizhou is once again experiencing"moth thieves". The largest force is more than 100,000 people commanded by Zhang Niujiao and Chu Yan, who are now besieging Yingtao.

Zhao Chen said:"My lord! Gongsun Zan led the white horse followers and some of the Youzhou army and horses to retreat. This is our army's luck!"

At this time, Zhao Yuan also stood up and said:"My lord, Yingtao is besieged, and there are many counties in Jizhou. If there is a rebellion, Han is mediocre in terms of writing skills and has a timid personality, so he will definitely come back to save Jizhou."

Although the two brothers Zhao Chen and Zhao Yuan did not have direct dealings with Han Fu, they can tell by looking at the leopard.

When Han Fu was in Yingtao, he did not send troops to intercept the moth thieves heading north, which proved that he was conservative, cautious, and lacked courage and courage.

"Hahaha……"

Hearing this, Zhou Cheng burst into laughter and said,"If Han Fu really leads his troops back to rescue Jizhou, what can Zhang Wen do to fight me?" , Chenliu, Bingzhou, Qingzhou allied forces from various states and counties.

It sounds bluffing, but after Han Fu's Jizhou army and horses left, only half of the army and horses were left.

Zhou Cheng said:"Give me the order and continue to advance. The weather is with me. There is no need to tangle with the officers and soldiers."

Originally, Zhou Cheng wanted to wait for Gongsun Zan to withdraw his troops, and then have a showdown with Zhang Wen.

It's just that the chaos in Jizhou, Zhang Niujiao, Chu Yan and others reminded Zhou Cheng of four words, that is,"the only Han Dynasty will be destroyed by force".

Unlike other dynasties in history, when the Han Dynasty fell, it was still a period of strength.

Although the Xianbei people rose up on the grasslands, they only plundered Youzhou and Bingzhou.

The Northern Xiongnu left the Western Region and retreated to Central Asia.

As for the Wusun, Wuhuan, Xianbei, and Qiang people, although they occasionally make trouble, they are still afraid of the Han army.

The key to the demise of the Han Dynasty lay in the power struggle among relatives, eunuchs, and scholar-bureaucrats.

Now He Jin is the general, Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong has come into contact with the party, and the scholar-bureaucrats have regained their power.

After the Yellow Turban Uprising, governors, governors, aristocratic families, and wealthy families from all over the country supported their troops and respected themselves.

Governors, governors, aristocratic families, and wealthy families are all the power of scholar-bureaucrats.

The most typical one is Yuan!

The Yuan family sent their protégé Han Fu to Jizhou as governor. The purpose was obvious.

Although Jizhou is long and narrow, it is said to have millions of armored men and plenty of money and food.

Controlling Jizhou means controlling a huge population, as well as money and food.

Regardless of whether Han Fu wanted to or not, the Yuan family would not allow chaos to continue in Jizhou.

Because the scholar-bureaucrat class has gone against the Han emperor, they know in their hearts that only by controlling the money and food of the army can they be able to fight against the eunuch group.

However, the internal strife between He Jin, the civil and military officials of the court, the scholar-bureaucrats in the world, and the eunuchs made the seemingly powerful Han Dynasty full of holes.

What Zhou Cheng needs now is to wait for the 'good news' that is coming one after another.
