Bai Ren followed Mi Zhu out of the carriage.
As the capital of Jizhou and the political and cultural center of Hebei, Yecheng, a majestic and magnificent city, appeared in Bai Ren's eyes.
The city is very high.
This was Bai Ren's first impression.
There are only two ancient cities that Bai Ren has ever visited.
One is Chenliu, and the other is Ye City.
Bai Ren looked up at this tall city and probably thought He was at least twice as tall as Chen Liu, about thirteen or fourteen years old in modern times.
The floor was so high.
Bai Ren looked at the city walls where the border could not be seen clearly from left to right.
He couldn't help but sigh.
This city is indeed the largest city in the north.
He doesn't know how much manpower and material resources were spent to create such a great city.
In this city, the wisdom and ability of the ancients cannot be underestimated.
Bai Ren followed Mi Zhu to the city gate of Ye City.
The city gate was very high, about five or six meters high.
On the top of the city gate were written two large official script characters of dragons and phoenixes, although Bai Ren was not very familiar with this font. , but based on the structure of the characters, we still guessed the two characters "Yecheng".
Merchants and pedestrians were coming and going in and out of the city gate.
Beside the city gate was a general wearing black armor.
His hand was on the hilt of the sword at his waist, and he was watching the people coming and going with a serious face.
The crowd, and he led dozens of soldiers to search the people entering Ye City one by one.
"Stop."
The general suddenly noticed that Mi Zhu and Bai Ren had brought a large caravan to the gate of Yecheng, so he led a few soldiers and walked towards the Mi family, while talking to the advancing Mi family.
The caravan roared.
Nowadays, the chaos in Hebei is no worse than that in the Central Plains.
Qingzhou in the east is in chaos.
Each governor is in charge of his own affairs, and mountain bandits and yellow turban bandits are rampant.
Bingzhou to the west is extremely desolate.
The Zhang Yang-ruled area to the south is fine, but the north is a bit desolate.
It has basically become an unoccupied area.
It has almost become a garden for the Black Mountain bandits and Huns.
They come to play in the garden from time to time.
One play.
However, there are Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan in Youzhou in the north of Jizhou.
Liu Yu is a bit better and can be regarded as a very honest and good man.
However, Gongsun Zan is a very out-of-the-box master.
He is not only interested in Liu Yu's territory, but also in Jizhou.
There is deep resentment.
I think back then, Jizhou didn't belong to Yuan Shao.
The shepherd of Jizhou at that time was called Han Fu, and he was considered a disciple of the old Yuan family.
But at that time, Yuan Shao only had a piece of land in Bohai County.
He was a pitiful boy, and he was jealous of the land owned by his boss Han Fu.
Very ah, the same is true, far away in Youzhou Gongsun Zan was also very jealous of Jizhou, but the difference was that Yuan Shao's counselors were more powerful than Gongsun Zan's.
Yuan Shao's counselors proposed a plan to Yuan Shao at the right time.
After hearing it, Yuan Shao immediately felt that the plan was good, so Yuan Shao sent The counselor went to persuade Gongsun Zan.
When the counselor arrived at Gongsun Zan's place, he persuaded him, "General Gongsun, I heard that you want to get Jizhou.

Our lord also has some ideas about Jizhou.
Why don't we two unite and divide Jizhou equally?"
Gongsun Zan, a warrior, began to think that it was a bit difficult to capture Jizhou, and was thinking about sending troops to attack Jizhou.
However, Yuan Shao sent people to join forces, so he played into Gongsun Zan's heart, and readily agreed, and agreed on a date to send troops.
When it was time to send out troops, Gongsun Zan set out on time, but Yuan Shao did not move at all.
The white horse Yi Cong under Gongsun Zan beat the fierce foreigners without losing their temper.
The attack on Jizhou can be said to be overwhelming, and many counties in Jizhou were captured in succession.
But Han Fu, the shepherd of Jizhou, couldn't sit still, his buttocks were on fire.
Who could still sit still, so he asked the counselors for help.
Xin Ping, who was Yuan Shao's internal correspondent, jumped out and said: "Your Excellency is a disciple of the Yuan family.
Why not ask Yuan Shao to take over Jizhou?
We will definitely be able to repel Gongsun Zan."
Han Fu was a little confused, so he agreed, and Yuan Shao easily became the master of Jizhou and obtained a large amount of land, talents, and troops.
When Gongsun Zan heard that Yuan Shao had become the lord of Jizhou, he suddenly realized that he had been tricked by Yuan Shao, an old boy, and he became Yuan Shao's target.
This general was really angry to death.
The two people who originally wanted to fight for Dong's alliance started to fight on the land in the north.
However, since Gongsun Zan's troops are all warriors who have been fighting for many years, it seems that Gongsun Zan still has a slight upper hand.
Now that it is approaching the end of the year, the two princes have tacitly agreed to withdraw their troops and return to their own territories to prepare for some rest.
However, just in case, the defenses in various places have not been reduced, especially in Yecheng, Yuan Shao's current capital.
Searches must be carried out when entering the city gate to prevent spies, assassins and other ghosts from entering Ye City and harming Yuan Shao's power.
Bai Ren looked at the serious-faced general walking over.
He looked like he was only in his twenties, but he was full of killing spirit.
He must have been fighting on the battlefield for many years.
He immediately used the ultra-brain chip to analyze the situation in front of him.
A general.
Gao Lan, age 28, has a force value of 91, a strength of 91, a speed of 91, and a skill of 92. , the command value is 88 for cavalry, 88 for infantry, and 85 for sailors. , intelligence value 47, strategy 56, politics 40, overall situation 39. .
Personality: Decisive, brave, and dedicated to duty.
Bai Ren looked at Gao Lan and looked a little surprised.
Is this general Gao Lan, one of the Four Court Pillars of Hebei, actually sent to guard the gate here?
Gao Lan, born in a poor family, joined the army with Zhang He during the Yellow Turban Rebellion and joined the army in Jizhou to fight against the menacing Yellow Turban Army.
Later, he and Zhang He became captains due to their military exploits, and later became Han Fu's subordinates until Yuan Shao came to Yecheng and recruited Zhang He and Gao Lan.
It's just that Yuan Shao was a bit of a heavyweight.
Zhang He and Gao Lan didn't value them because they came from poor families.
However, they had influence in the Jizhou army, so Yuan Shao made the two of them generals with general titles, but he didn't give them the title of general.
How much real power do they have.
"General, we are a caravan from the Mi family in Xuzhou.
I hope the general can give the Mi family some face."
Mi Zhu saw Gao Lan coming and secretly took out a gold nugget from his sleeve and handed it to Gao Lan, looking at him with a flattering expression.
High view.
Bai Ren patted his forehead.
It seemed that Chen Liu's words "money can make the world go round" had affected Mi Zhu, who was called a gentleman.
However, Gao Lan was not the greedy guy like Cao Hong.
I'm afraid this trick It doesn't have much effect on him.
Gao Lan looked at the gold nugget in Mi Zhu's hand and his face twitched.
Then he looked at Mi Zhu's pleading eyes and simply turned a blind eye.

Then he said to his soldiers: "Search for me, don't miss any detail."
Mi Zhu looked a little embarrassed when Gao Lan said this.
Bai Ren walked over from behind, patted Mi Zhu's shoulder gently, and whispered close to Mi Zhu's ear: "Brother Zizhong, you better put it away.
Money is still a thing."
"Looking at people" After listening to Bai Ren's words, Mi Zhu had no choice but to put the piece of gold into her sleeve, and then looked at Bai Ren bitterly.
"Master, these soldiers are checking so carefully," Hao Zhao said in admiration as he looked at the soldiers checking one vehicle after another like a curious baby.
Looking at Gao Lan who was inspecting carefully, Bai Ren sighed.
Gao Lan's personality was worthy of his duty, and it seemed that General Hebei didn't look that bad after all.
"General, general, all the cars here are filled with food."
It took the soldiers almost half a quarter of an hour to search the Mi family's caravan, and then the leading soldier ran over and said to Gao Lan, who was staring at Zhou Cang carefully. .
"Grain, there is so much grain."
Gao Lan was a little surprised when he heard this.
The world is in war, and to be honest, food is still a bit scarce.
Even Jizhou, a big grain state, has not had much grain stored in its granaries in recent years.
And the Mi family caravan brought them as usual The grain that comes is almost one-third of the entire grain stock in Jizhou now, but there is no shortage of grain in Jizhou now.
If you want to sell so much grain, you should go to Xiliang or Youzhou, where there is a serious grain shortage, so that you can sell it.
Good price.
This made Gao Lan a little unable to understand the meaning of the Mi family's caravan coming to Yecheng.
"You want to sell this grain?"
Gao Lan asked Mi Zhu in doubt, looking at Mi Zhu's face.
"I was going to sell it at that time, general," Mi Zhu replied truthfully.
"Oh, then you go into the city."
Gao Lan looked at Mi Zhu and Bai Ren and saw not many flaws, and said to Mi Zhu and others.
After Mi Zhu and others walked away, Gao Lan called a soldier with a serious face and whispered a few words into the soldier's ear.
The soldier nodded after hearing this, and then ran towards the center of the city
