Hua Rong analyzed the strength of the two sides and persuaded Luo Gandao: "My lord, Yuan Xi's Jizhou soldiers should still have nearly 10,000 people, plus Xiahoudun's military horses, the number of enemy soldiers in Fan County is not less than 15,000. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info is about the same strength as our army, and there are currently more than 16,000 people in our battalion. If you want to attack the city, I'm afraid it won't be easy. ”

"Yes, yes, although our army has repeatedly defeated the Jizhou soldiers and Yanzhou soldiers, the enemy army originally had more troops than us. If the enemy can't hold out, it is unlikely that our army will capture Fancheng, but the lord will give an order, and Guan Ling will definitely rush to the front! Guan Ling was also worried that Luo Gan's strong attack on Fan County would not succeed, but as long as it was Luo Gan's order, he would not disobey it.

Luo Gan brought only 30,000 soldiers and horses from Qingzhou, and he had to divide his troops to garrison the important cities and important roads he captured, and many people died in the battle. The army is not very abundant. Fortunately, after capturing the four counties of Yanzhou, some soldiers and horses were replenished from the captives. Therefore, there are still 16,000 soldiers and horses in Luo Gan's camp for him to deploy.

At the beginning, Yuan Xi also brought 30,000 people from Jizhou, and Xiahoudun had almost 10,000 soldiers and horses in Dongping, plus the soldiers and horses of Dongjun, and the support of local powerful families. The strength of the combined forces of Yanzhou and Jizhou was at least about 50,000. It's just that the two armies did not form a joint force, and before they converged, they were respectively defeated by Luo Gan and Li Ru and won several battles. The battles of Wuyancheng, Wenshui, Changsu, and Fanxian basically ended in Luo Gan's victory.

As a result, there are now about 15,000 soldiers and horses left in the city of the two armies, which is not to say that more than 30,000 people were killed by Luo Gan, but that many of the Jizhou soldiers lost the battle and ran away, and some people were captured by the Qingzhou army.

"I'm afraid he's a bird, the Sprinkle family just beheaded an enemy general before, I heard that his name is Xiahou Cheng, he is the clansman of Xiahoudun, haha~ If I go to attack the city tomorrow, I will be the vanguard and cut down that Xiahoudun." Luda cut Xiahou Cheng on the battlefield, and his heart was very happy, and he didn't say that he wanted to fight, so he applied to be a pioneer first.

"Hey, Ruda, this pioneer, has always been my iron bull's errand, but you are here to compete with me, what is the reason. Lord, I want to be a pioneer! I want to be a pioneer! Li Kui felt that Luda was going to grab food from him, so he jumped up and glared at Luda, as if he wanted to beat him, but he remembered that he was not Luda's opponent, and hurriedly asked Luo Gan for his vanguard officer.

"Guan will be the first to lead the troops to attack the city tomorrow, don't rob it." Guan Ling stroked his beard, glanced at the two of them with slanted eyes, and clenched his fists to Luo Gan for his life.

"Sprinkle the family's itchy hands, I came to be a pioneer and cut down that Xiahoudun." Luda patted his chest, a little swollen, even Xiahoudun wanted to cut it.

"Hmph, my Tieniu's White Tiger Battalion is the most suitable for being a pioneer, don't fight with me." Li Kui was in a hurry, blew his beard and glared, raised his fist, took a step forward with his right leg, and when he saw that all the generals were looking at him, he lowered his fist again.

Guan Ling, Wu Yanguang, Luda, and Wang Yin who were present were all better than Li Kui. Hua Rong may not be able to beat Li Kui with his fists and feet, but with a spear in his hand, he is not afraid of Li Kui, if he takes out the treasure bow, Li Kui will finish playing. This made Li Kui dare not be too arrogant.

The generals in the tent were noisy and shouting, some advised Luo Gan not to attack in a hurry, and some shouted that they wanted to be the vanguard, anyway, they were noisy, chaotic, and annoying.

Boom~

Luo Gan was upset, slapped on the handsome platform, and the pen and ink on the table directly shook and jumped, and a lot of ink was splashed.

"Shut up, what kind of noisy and shouting it is, sit down and listen to orders!" Xi angrily slapped the table and got angry.

The crowd was stunned by the noise made by Luo Gan, and they all shut up and looked at Luo Gan, waiting for Luo Gan's order.

"Okay, don't argue, Hua Rong is responsible for patrolling Dazhai and responsible for safety tonight. The army marched and fought for many days, and it was tired. Repair for two days first, let the soldiers recuperate and renovate the equipment. On the third day, Wu Yanguang was the vanguard and led 5,000 troops to challenge the city of Fancheng. Guan Ling led 5,000 troops to Luda to answer on the left side, and Hua Rong took Wang Yin to lead 5,000 troops to ambush on the right side. Li Kui, Bao Xu, Xiang Chong, and Li Gon led the White Tiger Camp to follow me. Waiting for Wu Yanguang to lure Xiahoudun and them out of the city, Guan Ling and Hua Rong led the troops to kill and annihilate the enemy army in one fell swoop. It is best to capture Yuan Xi alive, this person is of great use. "Luo Gan has been the lord for several years, and his bearing is extraordinary, and he has gradually formed his own aura, and he has a kind of momentum that is not angry and arrogant.

"No, obey the Lord's orders!"

What's more, after Luo Gan was directly angry, he assigned a task, and immediately asked the generals in the big tent to hold their fists and receive their orders.

"Let's all disperse, Hua Rong should pay attention to preventing the enemy's night attack, and the rest of the generals will go back and rest, and disperse the tent!" Luo Gan stretched out his right hand and pointed to the door of the big tent.

"Yes!"

Hua Rong and the others retreated and left.

"Ha~ I'm really sleepy, I really hope that the battle of Yanzhou can end as soon as possible, and I don't know if my son will speak." Luo Gan yawned, and before going to sleep, he remembered the son that Cai Yan gave him in Linzi City, but he sent troops to conquer Yanzhou earlier, and the child was still born at that time, and he couldn't speak and call people, and he didn't know what was going on now.

……

Xiahoudun waited for Cao Cao to personally lead the army to come, so he resisted the revenge in his heart and did not launch an attack on the Luo Gan camp in Dazhai outside the city. And Luo Gan is also repairing, and he doesn't have time to attack Fan Cheng, of course

It is the problem of Luo Gan's own lack of strength.

In this short period of time, Pang Wanchun had already rushed to Jibei Country and replaced Lin Chong. Lin Chong led a thousand soldiers and horses all the way south, heading straight for Renchengguo.

……

A large army is coming towards Fan County, under the banner of Cao, and it is Yanzhou Mu Cao Cao who personally leads the troops.

"Cao Ren, where are we?" Cao Cao glanced out at the road from the carriage.

"My lord, we have entered the territory of Dongjun, less than forty miles away from Fan City." Cao Ren, who was riding a white horse next to the carriage, hurriedly replied.

"Well, speed up, Luo Gan dares to come and fight with me for Yanzhou, hmph, I'll let him have no return!" In addition, you send someone to inform Xiahoudun and ask him to prepare to go out of the city to lure the enemy and cooperate with our army to encircle and kill the Qingzhou army! Cao Cao sneered, urging to speed up the march.

"Yes, the Lord has an order, speed up and go!" Cao Ren answered, shouted loudly, personally went to urge, and at the same time, according to Cao Cao's order, sent a clever and reliable personal soldier to inform Xiahoudun, intending to cooperate with each other and annihilate Luo Gan in one fell swoop.

After driving Lü Bu out of Shanyang County, Cao Cao asked Yu Ban to lead some soldiers and horses to guard to prevent Lü Bu from returning. Anyway, Lu Bu ran east, not to Xuzhou, but also to fight with Ren Chengguo's Qingzhou army, and would not pose a big threat to Cao Cao for the time being.

As Cao Cao expected, Lü Bu fought with Tai Shici, who was stationed in Renchengguo.

Therefore, Cao Cao personally led the army north, intending to join Xiahoudun to kill Luo Gan in Fan County. As long as the Luo Gan army is defeated, if Luo Gan can be killed or captured, the rest of the Yanzhou territory will naturally come back, and Cao Cao is planning to capture the thief and capture the king first.
