~2 min read 372 words

Jizhou.

Yecheng

Upon learning the news that Budugen had already led an army of one hundred thousand to march south first, Yuan Shao naturally would not remain indifferent.

After all.

Before this, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Budugen, Huchuquan, Zhang Yan, and Tatedun had already reached a so-called "military alliance."

This military alliance nominally honored the pseudo-emperor Liu He.

In essence, it was centered on Yuan Shao, with the goal of countering Gu Yi as the final objective.

Therefore.

After discussion with Ju Shou.

Yuan Shao decided to raise all the troops of Jizhou, totaling more than one hundred and fifty thousand, to head toward Bingzhou.

In reality, after the successive battles before, the available troops under Yuan Shao's command had already shrunk significantly.

But this time, for the Hebei aristocratic families and Yuan Shao, it was undoubtedly a battle of life and death, and no carelessness was allowed.

Otherwise.

Once Budugen and Huchuquan in northern Bingzhou were cleaned up, Gu Yi would definitely attack Jizhou immediately after.

At that time, Yuan Shao would inevitably fall into a dilemma of being unable to support himself.

Besides this.

After witnessing Gu Yi's methods against the aristocratic families, the Hebei aristocratic families feared that they would follow in the footsteps of the Yuzhou, Nanyang, and Jiangdong aristocratic families.

Under such stimulation.

This time, in order to help Yuan Shao defeat Gu Yi, the Hebei aristocratic families almost took out all their coffin money.

Those who should contribute money contributed money.

Those who should contribute people contributed people.

Only then did Yuan Shao have the army of one hundred and fifty thousand formed by smashing pots and selling iron.

However.

Yuan Shao never noticed.

While the high-ranking officials of the Hebei aristocratic families like Ju Shou, Shen Pei, and Feng Ji were bathing in the spring breeze.

The expressions between the brows of Xin Ping, Guo Tu, Xun Chen, and others appeared extremely complex.

Especially Guo Tu and Xin Ping.

They had already sent people to report the specific news of the one hundred and fifty thousand troops to Gu Yi one step in advance.

In other words.

Before Yuan Shao even left Yecheng, Gu Yi already knew his subsequent marching direction. ===== CHAPTER 587 =====
