Zhang Mo cursed Qu Yi dozens of times in her heart. This guy really deserved to be punished! He really deserved to be punished! Why did he lift her hat when he could just talk? This was terrible. If Yuan Shao saw her, would he be recognized?

Zhang Mo was stunned for a moment and quickly calmed down. Even if she was recognized, it didn't matter much. Judging from Yuan Shao's reaction at this time, Cao Cao obviously did not tell him his true identity. At most, Mr. Zhang's identity as a woman was exposed. Although she had deceived him, she was sincerely helping him whether in Luoyang or when dealing with Niu Fu.

Yuan Shao was not as shameless as Cao Cao. He valued his status and reputation, and was a true gentleman of ancient times. It was because of this that she dared to come here with Zhang Ji. If it was Cao Ying, she would never dare to come even if she was beaten to death.

Yuan Shao looked at Zhang Mo and said with some suspicion, "The young lady looks familiar. She looks very much like a very special man I have met before."

"is it?"

Zhang Mo's mind raced. She was surprised at first, then she lowered her eyes and covered her face with her hands. She said with a hint of sadness, "Because of my face, I was abandoned by my family when I was young. I vaguely remember that I had a twin brother. The man you saw might be my brother."

Before Yuan Shao could ask further, Zhang Mo asked, "Where is the man the envoy saw? Would you mind letting me see him? Although my parents don't want me, my brother might be willing to acknowledge me."

"Oh? So that's the case..."

Yuan Shao looked at her with deep eyes, and suddenly reached out to pull away her hand that was covering her face. With his other hand, he touched the half of Zhang Mo's black face, and rubbed her cheek hard several times with his thumb.

Zhang Mo was startled by his sudden action and subconsciously took two steps back. Qu Yi next to her was almost knocked to the ground by her.

Yuan Shao lowered his eyes and looked at his hands. The pads of his fingers were still red and white, without a trace of black.

However, this did not dispel his suspicion. He turned to a soldier and said, "Go get a basin of water."

Zhang Mo knew what he wanted to do. Her face was now a true yin-yang face and was not afraid of washing at all.

Although the black side is not actually very black, when compared with the white side, it feels like everyone thinks black people's teeth are very white, which looks very weird.

The soldier quickly brought a basin of water, and Yuan Shao ordered, "Wash your face."

Zhang Mo pretended to be puzzled, "Why did the envoy ask me to wash my face?"

"Wash just as I tell you to!" Yuan Shao said in a deep voice.

"Oh!"

Zhang Mo timidly responded, walked over, pulled out her handkerchief, and carefully washed her face in full view of everyone. Yuan Shao saw that her face was still yin-yang after washing, and even the spots on her face were still the same. He thought to himself, "How can such coincidences really exist in the world? Twins? Genius? Yin-yang face? I've encountered them all?"

He had suspected before that Mr. Zhang might be a woman, but once he pretended to pat his chest accidentally, and since it was not a chest binder, the touch felt like that of a man, so he dispelled this suspicion.

The woman had a curvy figure, and no matter how she tied her bra, she was clearly a woman. Her waist was so slender that he could circle it with both hands. Looking at her face, a line divided the black and white colors in the middle. Even if she covered one side and let it sit in the sun, it wouldn't look like this.

Could they really be twins? What a coincidence!

He asked anxiously, "Young lady, do you really have a brother? Do you still remember where your home is? What are your parents' names?"

Ever since Zhang Mo was captured by Lu Bu and Yuan Shao took over Jizhou, he sent people to Bingzhou to inquire, but there was no news at all. Now that he has found a clue, how can he not be excited?

Zhang Mo shook her head blankly. "My daughter was abandoned at the age of three, and I barely remember anything. My master has taken me to look for my family over the years, but it's like finding a needle in a haystack. If you know where my brother is, please let me know."

Yuan Shao was immediately filled with disappointment, "I'm looking for him everywhere!"

He then looked at Zhang Mo and said, "Your brother is extremely intelligent, and my young lady is not bad either. If you hadn't borrowed the divine weapons from heaven today, none of my soldiers would have been able to return. Why don't you stay by my side in the future?"

Zhang Mo didn't know what he meant by "staying by his side", so she simply pretended to be confused. "Thank you for your kindness, my master has agreed to stay in Jizhou, so naturally I will follow my master to serve you."

As expected, they were twins. They looked just like their brother and were just as smart. It was a shame about the yin-yang face. Yuan Shao's gaze fell on the black half of her face again. If this side returned to normal, how stunning would this woman be?!

"Can't your face be cured?"

Zhang Mo nodded with tears in her eyes. "Master has tried many methods over the years, but to no avail. Even if I want to make this fair half of my body tan, I can't."

"Is there such a miraculous thing?" Yuan Shao was surprised.

"If you don't believe me, I won't wear a veil for a few days. Then you can see if it will turn black."

Yuan Shao waved his hand and said, "That's not necessary." He was not so idle as to study whether this face really could not be tanned.

At this time, Qu Yi came over, put his hand on Zhang Mo's shoulder and said to Yuan Shao, "My lord, will you give this young doctor to me as a concubine?"

Yuan Shao shook his head and glanced at Zhang Mo meaningfully. "The little doctor is not a maid or slave. She has made great contributions this time. I have no right to give her away as a reward. If General Qu likes her, please convince her yourself."

Sleep with you? Qu Yi stroked Zhang Mo's fair face with his index finger and chuckled softly, "When this general recovers from his illness, will you sleep with me? Little doctor..." He emphasized the word sleep, and his tone was extremely ambiguous.

Zhang Mo felt a chill in her heart. She pushed Qu Yi's claws away and submitted to Yuan Shao. She pretended to be shy and turned to the medical camp. "Master, should he have some medicine that can help people with erectile dysfunction?"

If you dare to have any evil thoughts towards this doctor, don’t blame me for crippling you!

…………

Gongsun Zan was unwilling to accept his defeat in the first battle and wanted to strike while the iron was hot, so he launched another night attack that night. However, Yuan Shao was prepared and the attack was not very effective.

After a defeat in the first battle and a failed night attack, Gongsun Zan did not launch another attack the next day and let his soldiers rest for a day.

On the morning of the third day, when Gongsun Zan was preparing to send troops again, an explosive news came from the rear base camp.

"Tens of thousands of troops? Where did Yuan Shao get so many people?"

"I don't know, but yesterday evening, that group of people camped ten miles east of the camp. Judging from the flags, it was Yan Liang's troops. At lunchtime, smoke from cooking fires rose from the enemy camp, indicating that there were at least ten thousand of them."

Gongsun Zan paced back and forth in the tent with a frown on his face. "Isn't Yan Liang stationed in Yecheng? The fastest round trip from Yecheng to here takes six or seven days. Even if he went to get reinforcements the day before yesterday, he couldn't have flown that fast."

Everyone was also confused. At this time, a general beside Gongsun Zan said, "Last time at Jie Bridge, Yuan Shao won a decisive victory. We thought he would pursue the victory, but we didn't expect that there would be no movement for over a month. Is the plague in his army also a hoax? Is he trying to trick us into coming out in full force so that he can take over our base?"

Gongsun Zan recalled the battle yesterday. Yuan Shao clearly had a fierce tiger named Qu Yi under his command, and the elite light cavalry he led were no less powerful than his own White Horse Volunteers. However, Qu Yi did not leave the camp to fight in the field all day. Even when those cavalrymen were trapped by their own troops, no one came out to rescue them. This was extremely unreasonable.

In this situation, either Yuan Shao's army was really hit by the plague and unable to fight in the field, or he wanted to tie down his main force so that he could launch a surprise attack on his rear.

Gongsun Zan was not sure what was going on for a moment, but according to the scouts, Yuan Shao's troops had indeed appeared behind his back. If he did not go back to rescue, once the camp was breached, his losses would be very heavy.

Thinking of this, Gongsun Zan immediately said, "Tian Kai, quickly bring 10,000 troops back to rescue them."

In fact, the tens of thousands of troops outside Gongsun Zan's camp were just civilians temporarily recruited by Qu Shu from Hejian State. They had no combat capability at all. Tian Feng let these people bluff just to deceive Gongsun Zan.

Seeing that Gongsun Zan had indeed transferred part of his troops, Yuan Shao knew that Tian Feng's plan had succeeded. He was about to lead his troops out to repel Gongsun Zan, but he heard someone from the prime minister of Changshan State report that Lu Bu personally led 4,000 elite cavalry out of Jingxing and passed through Changshan State. At this time, the team had reached Julu and Dintao, and was heading towards Jieqiao with great momentum. No soldiers from the counties along the way dared to stop them.

"Lu Bu is here with his troops?"

Upon hearing this news, a suffocating feeling quickly overwhelmed Yuan Shao, making him feel a little breathless. He hadn't driven away Gongsun Zan, the hungry wolf, yet another fierce tiger appeared over there? Was it fate that would destroy him?

Although Lu Bu only brought 4,000 men with him, after the battle outside Sishui Pass, his 4,000 men put more pressure on Yuan Shao than Gongsun Zan's more than 20,000 troops.

Yuan Shao was completely at a loss at this time. Jizhou and Bingzhou were adjacent to each other. When Lu Bu led his troops here, Yuan Shao could not think of a second possibility except taking advantage of the situation and dividing Jizhou with Gongsun Zan.
