These thousands of grain transporters couldn't stop the charge of Xu Huang's army at all.

After a wave of fighting, they scattered in all directions.

This cannot be said to be a belligerent, it is a one-sided massacre.

When Xu Huang's army came, these grain transporters had already fled to death.

Among them, several general-level figures rode war horses. Yuan Xi's subordinates were not short of horses, and he had a good relationship with the Karasuma people and the Xianbei people.

Getting some war horses from them is simply a matter of business.

Therefore, most of Yuan Xi's grain transporters were mainly cavalry.

When Xu Huang's cavalry rushed over, these people on horseback did not love to fight at all.

They were frightened and gave up the food and grass. Even the people and horses went straight to Lecheng County.

When these people returned to Lecheng County.

and directly told Yuan Xi the news.

Yuan Xi was not worried about the battlefield on Jizhou's side, but when his men and horses brought the news back to his ears.

Knowing Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses, they were rapidly approaching Hejian County.

Yuan Xi was a little panicked at this time.

However, although he understood that someone was rapidly approaching Hejian County, after all, there were so many soldiers and horses stationed here, and he was still not afraid.

If it was only 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers and horses, Yuan Xi would not be worried.

After all, twenty or thirty thousand soldiers and horses are not too many, and Yuan Xi's soldiers and horses are enough to deal with this manpower.

However, Yuan Xi was still very angry, angry that the thousands of soldiers and horses under his command actually lost all the grain and grass collected from all over the country.

This grain and grass were harvested and plundered from all over the country with great difficulty.

In order to be able to make up for their lack of food and grass. It's gone, but it's a big loss for Yuan Xi.

"Lord, Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses are finally coming towards us, and this time our plan to unite with the Xianbei people may be able to catch a big fish."

After Tian Feng learned the news, a smile appeared on his face.

Yuan Xi looked back at Tian Feng and laughed as well.

"We are waiting for this time, according to the news that our spies who were ambushed under Liu Zheng's men came back to us before, saying that Liu Zheng began to mobilize troops and horses as early as ten days ago, and it is said that this time he will personally bring troops to deal with us."

Tian Feng also responded.

"Lord, as long as Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses really come, then we will keep him here this time."

In fact, Yuan Xi came to Jizhou this time for a very clear purpose.

It is to cause Liu Zheng to die.

They had already joined forces with the Xianbei people in advance. A series of plans were arranged for Liu Zheng, and now he and Karasuma's army pretended to come to attack Jizhou, just to attract Liu Zheng's attention.

After all, as long as Yuan Xi and Karasuma join forces, just one Yuan Shang will definitely not be able to stop him.

Liu Zheng would definitely send soldiers and horses over, but what Yuan Xi didn't expect was that this time Liu Zheng would actually come over in person.

Liu Zheng's presence in person will increase the pressure on Yuan Xi and others, but it is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"Don't worry, as long as Liu Zheng really dares to come to Jizhou and fight with us, then we must be sure to leave him behind, Kebineng has already discussed with us, his soldiers and horses are hidden in the territory of Karasuma, as long as we give him a signal, a few days will be enough to kill here."

"As soon as the seventy or eighty thousand Xianbei army arrives, not to mention just one Jizhou, even the entire Central Plains, we can easily take it."

At this time, Yuan Xi was a little proud, although he had not defeated Liu Zheng, but in Yuan Xi's heart, it seemed that this matter was already a matter of ambition.

"Lord, although we have already set up an ambush against Liu Zheng, but now that Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses have been killed, we can't sit still here, we still need to take some precautions in advance."

"Well, you immediately go and inform Badun to let him come back, and then let Zhu Ling lead the soldiers and horses to guard the front line, don't let Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses kill him."

After all, Liu Zheng's side still has some strength, so he has to let Yuan Xi raise his focus, after all, although there is a possibility of a big war on both sides.

But this war, after all, has not yet started, and before it starts, there will still be a turf struggle between the various forces.

Yuan Xi will definitely not give up Hejian County, so if Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses come over, he will definitely defend it.

Anping City.

This is the closest big city to Lecheng County, the seat of Hejian County.

The first line of defense on Yuan Xi's side was also built from here.

The general stationed here is Zhu Ling, the number one general under Yuan Xi.

When Yuan Xi's order was conveyed here, Xu Huang's soldiers and horses had already arrived here.

It's just that Xu Huang's men and horses, who are also cavalry, did not launch a siege battle at the first time.

Instead, he stopped first, thinking about how to break the city at the lowest cost.

Zhu Ling was the first not-so-famous general under Yuan Shao.

However, this person is upright, and he is a person who can give up small things for the sake of righteousness.

In history, Zhu Ling made an astonishing move, Ji Yong, a native of Qinghe, betrayed Yuan Shao with Juancheng and surrendered to Gongsun Zhan, and Gongsun Chan sent troops to Juancheng to help Ji Yong defend the city.

Yuan Shao ordered Zhu Ling to attack, but Zhu Ling's family was in the city, so Gongsun Chan tied Zhu Ling's mother and younger brother to the city to lure Zhu Ling down.

Zhu Ling looked at the city and cried and said, "Once the eldest husband was born to work for others, how could he take care of the whole family anymore!" So he fought to capture Juancheng and capture Ji Yong alive, but Zhu Ling's family was killed.

However, later Zhu Ling, after knowing that Yuan Shao was not a master, took the initiative to turn his back on Yuan Shao and took refuge in Cao Cao.

Zhu Ling was under Cao Cao, for some reason, he has not been reused, he has the ability, but he has not been able to take charge of the army alone, he can only be a deputy general, but he is also a person who has been made a marquis, and he has a long life in history.

is a character who has some strategy and knows how to advance and retreat.

Yuan Xi sent him to guard this Anping City, which can be regarded as trusting him.

The 20,000 soldiers and horses guarding Anping are also elite, so just from the arrangement of soldiers and horses on the city tower, some clues can be seen, so that Xu Huang can only take people to walk back and forth outside the city, and he did not dare to attack the city directly.

Pei Yuanshao, as Xu Huang's deputy general, saw Xu Huang's embarrassed look, and understood that Xu Huang must have encountered difficulties.

hurriedly walked up and raised his own questions at Xu Huang.

"General, but you're in trouble?"

Xu Huang retracted his gaze and turned his head to look at Pei Yuanshao.

"Lao Pei, this Anping City is not easy to fight."

Xu Huang sighed, with some hesitation in his heart.

"It's just a small town, let's not fight, how about bypassing him directly and killing Lecheng County?"
