Chapter 400
If Youzhou was three years ago, it could be used to blackmail Hebei for Liu Bian, but now it is used to restrain Yuan Shao, the usefulness is not so obvious. If you want to attack Jizhou with Youzhou soldiers, it is tantamount to a dream.

Because of the rise of northern Mongolia in Youzhou, the rise of Jurchens in the northeast, and the strength of foreign races everywhere, Youzhou is divided into two, half of which is occupied by Liu Bei.

If there is no Mongolia and the rise of Jurchen, Youzhou can continue to implement Liu Yu's policy of harmonizing with foreign races outside and repairing officials inside. With Youzhou's unified strength, it can compete with Jizhou.

It's just that now Liu Yu only has half of Youzhou, and there are powerful enemies in the periphery, Huansi. It is difficult to compete with Jizhou with Youzhou's existing economic strength.The battle of war is not only a contest on the battlefield, but also a contest of economic strength.Right now it looks like Yuan Shao's attack on Youzhou failed.But if you come a few more times, Jizhou must still be strong, and Youzhou may not be able to get the military rations for the expedition.

Killing Yuan Shao and these generals would indeed greatly damage Yuan Shao's strength, but it is impossible to counterattack Jizhou.If Yuan Shao had a deadly fight with Youzhou because of this, and Liu Bei would also come to share a share of the pie when the foreign races besieged him, then Xue Rengui would think that he would not be able to keep Youzhou.

Xue Rengui thought about it so far, and felt that there was no need to kill Zhang Yun and others, and he still maintained a state of harmony with Jizhou.After this defeat, Yuan Shao will not attack Youzhou easily.

However, Youzhou is surrounded by enemies on all sides, so it should still be based on defense, internally repairing officials, and outside and outside the customs.Guard against Mongol invasion.As for sending troops to Jizhou, at least it has to wait until Yuan Shao is wiped out, or when Yuan Shao attacks Qingzhou, which is related to the life and death of Qingzhou.

Xue Rengui put down Fang Tian's painted halberd that was stuck in front of Zhang Yun's throat, and Zhang Yun was in shock: "Aren't you going to kill me?"

"Youzhou has always been stable and the people's livelihood is peaceful and happy. Liu Shijun has always been a civilized man with benevolence and righteousness. Why did Yuan Benchu ​​attack me in Youzhou for no reason? I am afraid that he will not be popular, so he is not afraid of being cast aside by the world?" Xue Rengui shouted in a deep voice.

"This? Liu Yu took in Ju Yi, a traitor from Jizhou, and my lord sent troops to attack Youzhou. It was Liu Yu who was allied first!" Zhang He replied.

"Humph, Ju Yi is treacherous, and the envoy was almost deceived by him. Now he has been punished by the envoy. Youzhou and Jizhou have always lived in peace! I don't want to kill you, go back and tell Governor Yuan to stop beating me in Youzhou idea!" Xue Rengui's purpose was to seek peace, but his tone was domineering, and the victor's posture was undoubtedly revealed.

"You... Are you asking for peace?" Zhang Yun was furious.Although they were defeated in this battle, where is the strength of Jizhou? If Yuan Shao attacks Youzhou with all his strength, are they afraid that they will not be able to take it down?
"Seeking peace?" Xue Rengui sneered: "Youzhou just doesn't want to use swords, it's not asking for peace. Yuan Shao is ambitious and wants to take Youzhou, so just come here. At worst, I will spend three to five years with him in Youzhou , let's see if he can still take over the world!"

Zhang Yun's face was ashen, with this person in front of Youzhou, and Jushou Diqing, Panfeng and others, if they resisted with all their strength, it might take three to five years to win Youzhou.Take half of Youzhou in three to five years?Not only are the muscles and bones in the two places hurt, I am afraid that after three to five years, the situation of the world will change greatly.

"I don't want to kill you, but I don't want to waste people and money under the war. Do you think I dare not kill you?" Xue Rengui snorted coldly, Fang Tian raised his halberd, and slapped Zhang He with the halberd tremblingly. Zhang He immediately spat out blood The body is thrown from the horse.

"Ahem..." Zhang He fell off his horse and spit out blood, looking at Xue Rengui in horror, if he really wanted to kill him if he didn't agree with each other?He really doesn't care about Yuan Shao at all?
"I said that I just don't want the people to lose their lives. If you think you have the ability, you can let Yuan Benchu ​​attack my Youzhou with all your strength. Xue Rengui is here, let's see how he can beat him down! Someone will tie him up for me!" Xue Rengui shouted.

Xue Rengui wanted to make peace, but he also wanted to establish an invincible momentum, so that Yuan Shao would not dare to send troops to Youzhou easily.

The cavalry rushed out behind Xue Rengui, and they were about to capture Zhang He. Zhang He quickly got up from the ground and ran to the main formation.If he was captured and asked Yuan Shao to change back, he would lose all face.Fortunately, Yan Liang and Wen Chou led the cavalry to respond, and rescued Zhang He first, and then tens of thousands of infantry rushed over.

But Xue Rengui was not afraid at all, because after his cavalry, Le Jin's [-] infantry also rushed over.And Xue Rengui's hearing was amazing, he vaguely heard cavalry coming from the northeast.

But that direction is Yuyang, which means that Di Qing's reinforcements have arrived, and they are still cavalry!Listening to the scale, there are more than five thousand.Although the forces of several parties are less than the reinforcements, the cavalry is far from what the infantry can contend with.

Xue Rengui and Zhang Shigui led the cavalry to rush up immediately, disrupting Yuan Jun's formation after a burst of fighting.Then Le Jin's infantry followed, and the two armies fought together.The shouts of killing were earth-shattering. Although the Youzhou army was at a disadvantage, Xue Rengui led the cavalry to charge forward for a while.

And less than five miles to the northeast, a cavalry force of 5000 men came straight to the battlefield.It was Pan Feng who was holding a mountain-opening ax in each hand.

But the cavalry behind Pan Feng was not the Han army.I saw that all the cavalrymen were all in strange clothes, each of them was tall and dressed in strange clothes!These cavalry are alien cavalry.

The intercourse between Liu Yu and other races not only promotes the prosperity and stability of the frontier. In history, the foreign races got help from Liu Yu. After Liu Yu was killed, his son Liu He entangled the foreign races to attack Gongsun Zan, which seriously injured Gongsun Zan. .

Like in the north of Youzhou, the foreign race did not produce a hero, and each tribe just wanted to make a living, and all tribal wars were just for survival.Liu Yu treats the alien races at the border with a gentle policy, and these alien races also have kind thoughts in their hearts and learn the culture of the Central Plains.With the help of Liu Yu, they can survive, and the border is stable. If Liu Yu wants to use troops, he can also ask for their help. It can be said to be mutually beneficial.

Now Liu Yu still treats foreigners with a gentle policy. Di Qing led [-] troops to garrison Yuyang to guard against Liu Bei. It was even more difficult to send troops as soon as possible, so Ju Shou went to the border tribes to ask for [-] cavalry from foreigners to come to support .

"General Pan Feng, is the battle ahead?" A foreign cavalry general asked in a deep voice, listening to the battle ahead.

"That's right, please ask the patriarch to lead the brothers to fight!" Pan Feng nodded and said.

"It's easy to say! It's just the supplies you promised us, General Pan Feng, salt and iron?"

Pan Feng patted his chest and smiled: "Don't worry, there will be no shortage of these things. Liu Shijun has always been on good terms with your tribe. When Temujin rises, you don't want to be annexed. If Temujin attacks in the future, we will I will definitely help you with all my strength!"

The patriarchs of the foreign races were overjoyed: "We can rest assured when we deal with Liu Shijun. In the future, we will open up more cattle, sheep and horses for you when we trade at the border!"

Pan Feng was also full of joy. If more cattle, sheep and horses were released, Youzhou would be able to build more cavalry, and with more cattle, it would be possible to reclaim the fields and vigorously develop Youzhou.

It is Liu Yu's doing to make friends with other races, but it is Ju Shou's idea to cooperate with other races.

The road to the rise of Mongolia has not been smooth. No tribe is willing to be annexed. Like these tribes outside the Youzhou border, because of Liu Yu's policy, they have gradually become Sinicized and accustomed to peace.Temujin attacked and wanted to annex them, but they were naturally unwilling.

So Jushou cooperated with these peace-loving tribes. The foreign tribes lacked daily necessities such as salt and iron, while Youzhou had a lot of these things.

In addition, these alien races had already made good friends with Liu Yu, so the two parties cooperated and exchanged supplies, and agreed that Temujin would attack in the future and Youzhou would help him with all his strength.And when Youzhou is in trouble, foreign soldiers and horses will help.

Youzhou did not suffer from this transaction, because Temujin's rise would inevitably attack Youzhou. If these foreign forces were supported to fight against Temujin, Youzhou could be said to have made a lot of money.And exchanging Youzhou's scarce cattle, sheep, and war horses with the salt and iron utensils that are abundant in Youzhou can strengthen Youzhou's military and people's livelihood.

Using foreign races to deal with foreign races can not only counter Temujin, but also develop Youzhou, and use barbarians to control barbarians, killing two birds with one stone.

Pan Feng made an agreement with the leaders of several foreign tribes, and [-] foreign cavalry rushed straight to the battlefield.

Of course, compared with the Mongolian cavalry who had fought against Baima Yicong, these cavalry were naturally far inferior in combat effectiveness and tactics.But the current battlefield is more than enough for Yuan Jun's infantry.

On the battlefield, Xue Rengui led the cavalry, abruptly making up for the gap in troop strength.But the alien cavalry who rushed over suddenly broke this balance.

Pan Feng appeared behind Yuan Jun's formation with [-] foreign cavalry. The foreign cavalry also mainly used bows and arrows, and shot arrows at Yuan Jun from a distance.

The arrows were thick, as if it was raining, and shot into Yuan Jun's rear army overwhelmingly.After several rounds of arrow rain, Yuan Jun's infantry suffered heavy losses, and Yuan Jun's rear army gradually collapsed, gradually showing a rout. Xue Rengui and Pan Feng led cavalry to chase, and they wanted to kill thousands of ranks.

Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang Yun and others fled straight into the territory of Gaotang in Jizhou. Xue Rengui gave up and led the troops to station at the junction to see Yuan Jun's next move.

In the north of Gaotang County, Jizhou, at the junction of Fanyang Border Pass in Youzhou, the Youzhou Army is stationed here.Because he didn't know Yuan Jun's next move, Pan Feng's soldiers and horses did not retreat for the time being. If Yuan Jun chose to give up attacking Youzhou, Pan Feng would be able to return to the border with the alien cavalry.

In the big camp, Le Jin hosted a banquet for the leaders of several foreign tribes, and they ate happily, while Pan Feng, Xue Rengui and others were talking.

"You are Xue Rengui? Haha, Yan Liang, Wenchou and others can't survive three rounds in your hands?" Hearing about Xue Rengui's deeds, Pan Feng was extremely surprised.

When he was in Jizhou, he often fought against Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Zhang Yun Gao Lan was his subordinate. Pan Feng knew the strength of these people, but Yan Liang, Wen Chou and Zhang Yun couldn't beat Xue Rengui?Pan Feng couldn't even imagine Xue Rengui's strength in his heart.
