When the yellow banner fluttering high appeared under the city of Jixian County, the long-lost cheers suddenly came from the head of Jixian County. Reinforcements from Qingzhou came.

The desolate and long sound of the trumpet whimpered and resounded throughout the earth. In the sky, the sun is high and the clouds are floating. Such beautiful weather, but a killing is on the horizon. Yuan Shao was full of confidence in the battalion, and he was dispatching troops, what if the reinforcements came, and he had done a while.

Jizhou cavalry and Qingzhou army, which is stronger and which is weaker. Let's prove it with swords and blood. Huang Zhong passed down the orders one by one, and the subordinates under his command slowly changed their formations, ready to meet the impact of the Jizhou cavalry at any time.

After Liyi took the lead in camping and breaking the Youzhou elite cavalry, Qingzhou included how to use the tactics of infantry and cavalry into the scope of research. In the military formation listed by Huang Zhong, the foot soldiers in the front row were wearing heavy armor and holding huge shields, and the pikemen in the back put their spears on the shield wall, the tips of the spears were bright and shining. It looks like a thick turtle shell covered with spikes. Behind them were archers in light armor. And the two sides kept wandering, but it was the Qingzhou cavalry guarding the flanks.

The formation was long and narrow, and if the cavalry wanted to rush in, they would inevitably be sniped heavily. When the speed of the cavalry slows down, it will be time for the Qingzhou army to harvest.

The one who came to fight with 5,000 elite horsemen was the general Wen Chou. He took the lead, and the iron hooves behind him formed a sharp offensive front and surging forward. In this land in the north, cavalry will always be the protagonist of war.

Wen Chou collided head-on with the iron bucket formation of the Qingzhou Army. The waves are splashing, people are turning on their backs, and people are constantly falling on both sides. At this time, the test is the commander's ability to respond to the situation. Wen Choufang broke into the formation of the Qingzhou army, and he didn't feel it. The feeling of galloping like the wind in the past is no longer there when I get here. The Qingzhou army is constantly falling, but the speed of its own army is also slowing down. Without the impact of horses, cavalry is just a living target.

Wen Chou, who reacted, shouted, and took the lead, drew an arc, and rushed to the flank. Behind him, the schools raised the banner and walked through the formation with Wen Chou.

Since you can't charge head-on, then attack your flank, and the cavalry of Wen Chou's department was divided into two and rushed to both sides of the Qingzhou army. Huang Zhong had already prepared, and with a wave of the flag, the Qingzhou cavalry wandering on both sides instantly dispatched to intercept the Jizhou cavalry. All of a sudden, swords and guns were raised on the battlefield, and arrows were flying wildly. The fierce armorers roared and fought each other, wanting to prove their bravery with each other's heads.

Yuan Shao saw that the cavalry had been fighting for a long time without success, and he couldn't bear to lose this elite cavalry, so he ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops. The Qingzhou cavalry chased after him for a while, and then retreated. Huang Zhong did not let the foot soldiers go out in pursuit. In history, there have been very few examples of formed infantry defeating formed cavalry. There has never been a cavalry chase by infantry pursuit. Since it is destined to be in vain, it is better to stick to this position, so as not to expose flaws when attacking and be taken advantage of by the enemy.

Riding with the enemy, Jizhou returned in vain. Just now, the head of Jixian County was still worried, and the officials and soldiers who were in their hearts could finally breathe a sigh of relief and start celebrating.

After a major battle between the two armies, they each collected their troops to clean up the battlefield. In the deep pit, corpses were piled up, and after the fire burned, the smell of burnt meat came from the air. In the troubled times, the soldiers calmly sent away their robes, and then began to rest. No one knows when the next war will come and who will die next.

That night, Huang Zhong went into the city to meet Liu Yu. Liu Yu set up a banquet to entertain Huang Zhong, and the voices of gratitude from the ministers of Youzhou were endless. When Liu Yu learned that Liu Bei had returned to Qingzhou, he had personally raised the army to enter Jizhou and cut off Yuan Shao's back road. A heart completely fell into his stomach, and the disappeared spirit suddenly returned to his body. At this moment, he was no longer the withered and aging old man just now, but the majestic and dignified Youzhou Mu.

Liu Bei led the army into the territory of Jizhou, how could such a big movement be concealed from people's eyes and ears. Everywhere they passed, the officials along the way were in a hurry, and the snowflake-like documents flew to the front line of Youzhou before Wei County.

Liu Bei returned to the north, and Yuan Shao already knew. Originally, in his plan, Liu Bei should still be in Yangzhou now. It's a pity that his stupid brother Yuan Shu was too uncompetitive and died early at the hands of Liu Bei. So much so that Liu Bei quickly returned to his division to aid Youzhou.

Now that Liu Bei has returned, he led the army into Jizhou. Then the battle can no longer be fought. Youzhou is good, but Jizhou is its foundation. There can be no mistakes. What's more, Qingzhou's reinforcement Huang Zhong has already arrived here, and his own aid is still in Daijun. As soon as he thought of this, Yuan Shu took a deep breath and ordered the three armies to prepare for the camp and retreat to Jizhou.

Before leaving, Yuan Shu was on the horse, looked at the tall city wall of Jixian County and said: "When I come again, I will pull out this city!" ”

Standing at the head of the city, Yuan Shao's army is currently far away. Liu Yu showed a smile that he hadn't seen for a long time. Yuan Shao finally retreated. The breeze at the head of the city was blowing, the big flag was cracking, and Liu Yu somehow suddenly missed Gongsun Zhan. Although Gongsun Chan kept causing trouble for him, if he was there, how could Yuan Shao dare to invade Youzhou?

On the way, Yuan Shaotie blushed and sent a letter to Gao Gan, asking him to return to the state. He also wrote to Liu Bei, reprimanding him for why he invaded Jizhou for no reason, and used swords and soldiers without the will of the imperial court, which is a big crime!

Liu Bei received the letter and laughed. Xindao You Yuan Shao can write a holy decree for himself and then raise troops to attack Youzhou, why can't I invade you Jizhou? So he wrote back: "If it is not an invasion of Jitu, I want to take the road to the west to Luo and meet the new emperor." ”

After Yuan Shao received Liu Bei's reply, he couldn't cry or laugh. So I had to write another holy decree and ordered someone to send it to Liu Bei. said that the emperor and the queen mother, and the queen mother are all good, and they have been busy studying recently, so I won't bother you to visit them for the time being. Along the way, it is not good to disturb the people.

After Liu Bei received the letter, he could only accept it when he saw it. Now that Yuan Shao has withdrawn, the siege of Youzhou has been lifted. He also has to go back to Junqingzhou. After years of war, grain reserves have repeatedly declined. Although Xuzhou was obtained, in order to appease the war-torn people in Xuzhou and allow them to return to their homeland to live a good farming life, all taxes in Xuzhou have been exempted for one year. If you can, save as much as you can.

So, Liu Bei, who had taken a circle around Jizhou with a large army, returned to the division. Along the way, there will be a stop in each county town for a while, so there are guards and gentry who come out with food to work for the army. Then politely sent the Qingzhou military salute out of the country.

Liu Bei sighed at the character quality of the people of Jizhou, and recalled Yuan Shao's violent expression after learning about it. I couldn't help but laugh.

After Yuan Shao's army came back, he was very distressed. sent troops to attack Youzhou, and Qingzhou kept making trouble in its own territory. Countless houses have been burned and countless grain and grass have been extorted. Now hundreds of people in the territory are homeless, living in temporary sheds outside the county seat, and the treasury of the cities through which Liu Bei's march is passing are urgently asking for food......

Seeing Yuan Shao's distorted face, Zhang Jaw hurriedly bowed to the ground: "If you fail to defend the land to reject Qingzhou, you will be guilty of it." Please also ask the Lord to forgive your sins. ”

Yuan Shao lifted his jaw and said, "It's not a mistake, it's because I didn't know that Liu Bei returned to the north so quickly." ”

Indeed, if Liu Bei is still dragged by Yuan Shu in Yangzhou, even if Huang Zhong comes to help, and Zhao Yuntian Yu stirs up the wind and rain in Jizhou, Yuan Shao will not be afraid. As long as the high dry rate and the state ride come, the enemy will be Huang Zhong. Attacking the city with all his might, how long can Liu Yu stop him?

Yuan Shao was not only heartbroken for the success of this time, but also deeply hated Yuan Shu for dying at the hands of Liu Bei. This time, deep down in his heart, Yuan Shao really regarded Liu Bei as a life-and-death enemy and the number one enemy.
