Chapter 480 Return to Yecheng!
When Zhao Tong heard what Guo Jia said, he exclaimed, "Ah!" and said in embarrassment, "I didn't even notice it!"

Guo Jia patted Zhao Tong's head and said with a smile: "You are a military commander, so it's normal for you to be careless!"

Zhang Sui took the thing, opened it, and found a note inside.

Zhang Sui asked Zhao Tong to watch the surroundings before opening the note.

Guo Jia leaned his head forward.

The note read: "My Lord wants to get rid of Gao Gan and the governor of Xuzhou, and make the eldest son the crown prince, in Yecheng, Bi."

Guo Jia was a little surprised and said, "Is Yuan Shao unbalanced? He even wants to get rid of his nephew Gao Gan!"

After a pause, Guo Jia asked, "Who is Pi?"

Zhang Sui tore up the note, stuffed it into his mouth, swallowed it, and then said, "He is one of the leaders of the Yingchuan faction, one of the three major factions of my father-in-law, and one of the two strategists this time, Xin Pi."

Historically, after Yuan Shao died of illness, Xin Pi became Yuan Tan's man.

However, Yuan Tan sent Xin Pi to ask Cao Cao for help, asking Cao Cao to support him and to fight against Yuan Shang together.

Xin Pi rushed to Cao Cao and betrayed Yuan Tan. He told Cao Cao all about Yuan Tan and helped Cao Cao get rid of Yuan Tan, forcing the brothers Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang to lose Yecheng and flee to Liaodong.

Now, it is normal for Xin Pi to reveal news to himself.

After swallowing the note completely, Zhang Sui said, "I want to perform well in front of the civil officials and military generals these days, so I won't return to the camp."

"Fengxiao, you will ask your personal guard Zhao He to take Xin Pi's words to Yecheng and find Sima Yi. Ask Sima Yi to send his assassins to deliver the message to Gao Gan."

"Since Xin Pi said he wanted to get rid of Gao Gan, Gao Gan must have already rushed to Yecheng."

"It seems that my father-in-law never thought that Yuan Xi would die, but he was also prepared for me not to die."

"They were afraid they couldn't get rid of me, so they asked the senior officials to come from Bingzhou, just in case."

"Now, things have developed unexpectedly. I am not dead, but Yuan Xi is dead."

"My father-in-law wanted to support Yuan Tan as the crown prince, but Yuan Tan made such a big mistake."

"If we want the ministers to accept Yuan Tan as the crown prince, there is only one way."

"Anyone who poses a threat to Yuan Tan must be eliminated."

"Now, the only people who can threaten Yuan Tan are me and the senior officials."

"Therefore, my father-in-law should have changed his strategy."

"The arrival of the high-ranking reinforcements turned into a wait for destruction."

Zhang Sui sighed and said, "How pitiful are the parents in the world!"

"No matter how much he tries to balance it, no matter how much he favors his nephews, Yuan Shao's psychological bottom line is still his three sons."

Guo Jia nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go get ready now."

Zhang Sui grabbed Guo Jia's wrist and said, "As for the Black Mountain Army and the new recruits, tell them not to rush into action and to be patient."

"After the senior officials take action, it will still be too late for the Montenegrin Army and the new recruits to take action."

Guo Jia nodded and left.

Zhang Sui squatted on the ground, eating while looking in the direction of Yuan Shao's tent.

This Yuan Shao!
He had already asked someone to find out the news from the medical worker: he was dying!
At most two years, maybe only half a year to live.

So Yuan Shao became anxious.

He was anxious to kill himself and his nephew Gao Gan, and supported his eldest son Yuan Tan as the crown prince.

But then again, if I had known this would happen, why did I do it in the first place?

At the beginning, if he had listened to Ju Shou and Tian Feng's advice and made Yuan Tan the crown prince, instead of pursuing the so-called balance, and "enfeoffed" his three sons and nephew to various places, how could this situation have happened today?
Now I regret it and want to change my fate.

But without thinking carefully, the environment has already changed a lot!
Yuan Tan's image had already fallen to the bottom in the hearts of civil and military officials.

Yuan Shao himself didn't have much time left.

Under such circumstances, it would be strange for him to succeed.

Zhang Sui sighed a little.

Historically, Yuan Shu died many years earlier than Yuan Shao.

But now it seems that Yuan Shao might die before Yuan Shu. The two brothers of the Yuan family, Crouching Dragon and Phoenix, each had a trump card, but played it badly.

It's time to exit the stage of history.

For the next three days, Zhang Sui was busy all the time.

They were either dealing with the dead soldiers or comforting the wounded soldiers.

As for the civil officials and military generals, Zhang Sui did not care.

Now that Yuan Shao has awakened, he is the boss.

He was willing to do his duty as a subordinate, making people temporarily forget his ambitions and gaining some favor.

He needs this goodwill now!
Three days later, Yan Liang had completely dealt with the affairs in Yijing City.

Yuan Shao sent Jiang Qi to lead an army of 5,000, carrying Gongsun Zan's head, and marched eastward towards Liaodong to completely pacify Youzhou.

Yuan Shao, on the other hand, led his army back to Yecheng.

On the way, Yuan Shao sent many people, including generals Jiang Yiqu, Han Meng and others, to congratulate Zhang Sui and congratulate Zhang Sui on his return to Yecheng. The second son of him and the third lady would be able to ascend to the throne of the crown prince.

Zhang Sui accepted it all and thanked him with a smile.

Since Yuan Shao liked to perform, he obeyed Yuan Shao and performed for him.

Finally, on the tenth day of October, the army arrived at Yecheng.

Ju Su led all the officials of Yecheng to welcome them at the east gate of the city.

Yuan Shao ordered all the troops to set up camp in the military camp east of the city.

All the generals, except Yan Liang and Wen Chou, had to camp with the army and wait for orders.

As an exception, Zhang Sui entered the city with Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Xun Chen, Xin Pi and others.

However, you can only bring two personal soldiers.

Zhang Sui asked Zhao Tong and Guo Jia to stay in the military camp with Gao Shun and Xianchen Camp, while he went in with two of his personal guards.

These two personal guards were named Zhao Qin and Zhao Hao.

They are all powerful people in Changshan County.

Compared with other Changshan tyrants, these two have brothers who take care of their elderly parents at home in Changshan County, and they also have wives and children at home, and more than one son.

Liu Bei did not enter the city either.

Seeing Zhang Sui coming in with only two personal guards, Liu Bei frowned.

He looked towards the gate of Yecheng.

He felt very depressed inside.

Thinking about the expedition to Yijing and how he was almost killed, Liu Bei secretly made up his mind: he had to leave.

Fortunately, I listened to Zhang Sui’s words before: Hebei is not the place for him to stay.

Therefore, he left Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and more than a thousand of his own troops in the city.

This time, find an opportunity to leave Hebei, this troubled place.

He is going to Jingzhou and Nanyang.

Nanyang belongs to Jingzhou.

Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou, was also a relative of the Han royal family, so he wanted to give it a try.

As for going to Nanyang, it is because Nanyang is a gathering place of talented people.

He believed Zhang Sui's words more and more: Jian Yong was not worthy of being a military advisor.

He wanted to go to Nanyang to try his luck and see if he could find a military advisor who could assist him.

But not today.

He wanted to find Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and ask them to be prepared to evacuate at any time.

Watching Zhang Sui disappear into the gate of Yecheng with Yuan Shao and others, Liu Bei prayed silently: "May God bless General Zhang to survive this disaster."
