This made Xu Sheng a little dilemma, although Shan Zichun took responsibility, but he also knew in his heart that Shan Zichun could not be blamed for this matter, his suggestion was actually really good, but he met an opponent like Cao Cao, which can only show that the two of them are too lacking in countermeasures, some problems have not been considered too much, in fact, the problem should be his own at this point, after all, Shan Zichun is not a general, if he really wants to investigate, it is also his own inconsiderate, so in the face of Cao Cao's provocation of Dian Wei, He can only endure it now, holding this resentment in his heart.

Xu Sheng is not a simple-minded person, not to mention that there is also a Shan Zichun to remind him, so even if Xu Sheng wants to go out of the city to fight, it is impossible.

"General Xu, what should we do next?" Shan Zichun was completely out of ideas, it can be said that this suggestion was a decision he made after thinking about it for a long time, but he didn't expect such an accident to occur, which hit his self-confidence very hard, so that he didn't dare to make any more suggestions to Xu Sheng for a while.

"It's okay, let them scold it, after all, this Dian Wei, ranked third in the martial arts list, must have some real ability, I can say that, Cao Cao sent him as soon as he came up, and it was to hit our morale at all, whether we went out of the city to fight or retreat to defend the city, the result was the same, so why did we send generals out to fight?"

"That's what the general said."

However, Xu Sheng was really a little itchy in his heart, obviously looking forward to fighting with Dian Wei, but he also knew that if he wanted to win Dian Wei, he must at least have the ability to draw General Xu Chu, and he competed with General Xu Chu, and after ten rounds, the spear was knocked away.

So Xu Sheng is really a little worried, although he said that there is no second martial arts, but he is now a Peixian guard, is he not daring to try Dian Wei's real ability, see if he is famous, after all, Dian Wei's reputation is not loud, if he can be on the martial arts list, Xu Sheng believes that he has this ability, but the ability to suppress Guan Yu Zhang Fei and Xu Chu, he doesn't believe it, after all, these three people were originally between the two of them, and even they can't tell a high or low, not to mention Dian Wei, who has never fought with him, What is his ability to crush the three?

And Tai Shi Ci's ranking, a little low, this evaluation, not said by others, but from Zhao Yun's mouth, Tai Shi Ci's martial arts may be slightly inferior, but his archery is absolutely unparalleled in the world, even Zhao Yun in archery, has said, he and Tai Shi Ci will compete, if you can be equal, then above the archery, he will not dare to compare with it, so if the martial arts list is considered comprehensively, then Tai Shi Ci's ranking must definitely be on par with him, if it is purely about force, He felt that his position was higher in this ranking.

However, the controversy of the ranking will ultimately be proved by competition, as if the person who wants to compete with Dian Wei now will never be him Xu Sheng, but Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others behind him.

As for this moment, Xu Sheng decisively issued a strict order, ordering the troops not to go out of the city to fight.

For the whole day, Xu Sheng was worried that the defenders of Pei County or any of the guards rushed out of the city to engage the enemy, but no one disobeyed the generals, which was the best news.

At this time in Donglai, Yuan Tan is assembling troops, at this moment the news that Cao Jun is fighting with Liu Lanjun in Pei County has come, as a response to Cao Cao, he has to make some responses, and the whole army is the best and most reassuring move for Cao Cao, but as for when to enter the game, Yuan Tan has not considered it, he thinks that the best time is undoubtedly when the two sides are at war, only in this way, his appearance will not become just a situation that muddies the waters of the Battle of Xuzhou, but can fish in troubled waters.

From beginning to end, he didn't think about helping Cao Cao to seize Xuzhou, but thought about his own profits, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to explain to his father Yuan Shao.

Therefore, the army was mobilized overnight, which was specially explained by Yuan Tan, in order to be secretive, and this time the army was also very satisfactory to Yuan Tan.

Now what they have to do is to use the shortest family to arrive at the designated place, this battle, he never thought of doing it alone, it would be too risky, so he planned to pull Yan Liang in, but it was not easy to convince Yan Liang, so he planned to meet Yan Liang in advance, hoping to convince him.

Convincing Yan Liang that he is not very sure, because if he is just a spoiler, Yan Liang will definitely not be willing to take too many risks, but if it is to gain military merits and seize the two counties of Dongguan and Donghai, then will Yan Liang be tempted by this? It can be said that this is Yuan Tan's only hope that can convince Yan Liang.

After all, Yan Liang only has hatred for Liu Lanjun, plus he didn't get any exploits in the battle of Qingzhou, now such a good opportunity appears in front of him, can he hesitate, or after he sends his troops, can he still be unmoved, when the time comes, Dongguan and the East China Sea will be captured, then the northern part of Xuzhou will be in their hands, and they can attack and retreat, and then go and watch the confrontation between Cao Cao and Liu Lan, why not?

Moreover, the most important situation is that some information from Jizhou, about the situation in Xuzhou, of course, the more critical thing is Yuan Shao's reaction, which made Yuan Tan completely confirm his guess, his father is not not moved by Xuzhou, but he is unwilling to face Liu Lan head-on, so he has to wait for the opportunity, but waiting for the opportunity is far different from his own initiative to create the opportunity, if he just waits, he believes that there will never be a good opportunity, but if he creates it himself, then everything is in their hands.

After all, in the battle of Xuzhou, what will be the final result of Cao Cao and Liu Lan, they can't give an accurate answer, so it is better for them to seize the two counties of Xubei first, be invincible, and then react and deploy through the battle between Cao Cao and Liu Lan, which is the best choice.

However, it is not very possible to persuade Yan Liang to attack the East China Sea, but if he can take the East China Sea and point his sword at Langya, then Yan Liang will definitely be tempted, others don't know Yan Liang over the years, but he understands that Yan Liang has paid too much in order to be able to defeat Liu Lan, especially in front of Lu Yi to endure humiliation, it can be said that he can bear it, just to give this resentment to Liu Lan in the future.

Therefore, Yuan Tan must fight the battle of the East China Sea. However, as far as he knows, it seems that Liu Lan has not invested too many troops in these two counties, so it is relatively easy to open this breakthrough, which is a bit like the situation when Gao Lan was defeated in the second battle of Xuzhou, the Xuzhou army is guarding Langya, and if there is danger, it will also be there.

And Dongguan and Donghai County, compared to Dongguan, it is easier to fight, but there is a trial garrison there, so this road is no longer passable, so he can only attack Donghai County, but Donghai County is close to Langya, if something happens, or Liu Lanjun suddenly appears, it is really possible to kill them by surprise.

And the troops he leads are not very many, if there is any accident, he can't guarantee that he can fight a bloody way out.

But there is one thing Yuan Tan is not very afraid, after all, as long as he can kill it, then he can let Yan Liang make a move, anyway, this battle, he is still in the second place, the key is Yan Liang's attitude, in fact, since he won Chengyang County, Qingzhou, Yan Liang is a little impatient, and wants to attack Langya County directly, although Chengyang is some distance from Langya, but compared to Yan County in the East China Sea, he is closer to Langya Kaicheng, but because of the existence of trial, he can only put the main force in the East China Sea, and dare not move.

But at this moment, the appearance of Yuan Tan gave Yan Liang a chance, whether he planned to attack the East China Sea or Langya, it didn't matter, as long as this battle started, then he couldn't care about Yuan Shao's orders, and he would not be subject to the orders of the foreign monarch, so he had an excuse to directly attack Kaiyang.

Kaiyang is the county of the Langya army, and now Zang Ba is in this county, Kaiyang City he has personally investigated, the city is tall and wide, plus because Cao Cao's destruction of Xuzhou did not affect Langya County, so his population in Xuzhou is now the largest county, plus now the army is gathered, if Langya can be taken, it will be a big supplement to Jizhou.

Yuan Tan led his troops from Donglai, but from Donglai to Chengyang County to meet Yan Liang, at least half a month, and Yuan Tan also ordered the team to stipulate that the number of miles the troops march every day should not exceed 20 miles, in terms of the marching speed of the Jizhou army, it is more than 60 kilometers a day, but walking 20 miles a day, such a speed, it is completely a break as soon as it is opened, and the march is like child's play.

But this did not affect morale, the soldiers enjoyed this kind of march, and they would not feel tired at all, after all, sixty kilometers on weekdays would be exhausted to death, and these twenty miles, it was easy to arrive, but the most unpleasant point of the march was that they were not allowed to enter the city, which made many soldiers complain, otherwise, they would have bus time to go to the city to be happy.

But if this kind of thing really happens, then there is no need to fight this battle, and the morale is easy to drum up and not easy to leak, if the morale is vented because of the march, and then there is still hope for a war? Dream, maybe you will be eliminated by Liu Lan.

The army came all the way to Chengyang, and Yuan Tan, who had left in advance, led his own soldiers to Ju County, which was Yan Liang's garrison, close to Langya and close to the East China Sea.

The moment Yuan Tan arrived in Juxian, the city gate had already been closed, he took the lead and came to the bottom of the city gate, shouted to the city guard, and said, "Who is guarding the city, don't come and open it quickly!" ”

He shouted, and several people immediately appeared above the city, several of them holding torches, and one of them poked his head out and responded, "Who are you?" ”

"Bold, don't you even know the eldest son?" The guards beside Yuan Tan shouted, and at the same time moved the torch in his hand in the direction of Yuan Tan, and immediately Yuan Tan's face was reflected, and the defenders above the city recognized Yuan Tan at a glance, and immediately shouted: "Quick, open the city gate." ”

In fact, they learned about the order of the eldest son's arrival early in the morning, after all, Yuan Tan sent a fast horse to tell Yan Liang early, so at the moment of seeing Yuan Tan's face, the soldiers defending the city naturally did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and the city was soon opened, and there were thousands of soldiers holding torches, illuminating the city gate left and right as if it were daylight, and Yuan Tan was able to enter the city smoothly under their guards.

When Yuan Tan entered the city, the general who guarded the city tonight stepped forward to greet him, it was a coincidence, the person who came was actually Cen Bi.

Cen Bi is seven feet eight inches long, with a beard and deep eye sockets, at first Yuan Tan thought he was a Hu person, but after understanding it, he found that he did not have any Hu blood, a real Han person.

And the reason why Yuan Tan knows him so well, the most critical point is that when he was in Linzi, this person actually took the initiative to show favor to him and wanted to come to his account to serve, although Yuan Tan agreed, but did not let him go directly to his account, but still stayed in Yan Liang's account as a general.

It's not that he deliberately wants to install his own people by Yan Liang's side, or he doubts his motives, but he feels that Cen Bi will have a greater effect and gain more by staying by Yan Liang's side, after all, there is such a person, and what he wants to say every day will directly or implicitly affect Yan Liang, so when he appears, Yan Liang will inevitably be moved.

"My lord." Cen Bi came to Yuan Tan's side, and when he saw that there was no one around, he arched his hand and said in a low voice.

"General Cen is still guarding the city so late, it's hard work." Yuan Tan first said loudly, then lowered his voice and said, "What is the situation in the city now?" ”
