"Ziyuan doesn't need to worry, someone will be in charge of this." Lu Budao.

Although Chen Lan was puzzled, she still clenched her fists and said yes.

Long before Lu Bu led the cavalry to set off, one hundred and fifty flying eagle soldiers had already scattered to the battlefield, clearing obstacles along the way, including Yuan Shu's sentries lurking outside the city, which was also the reason why Lu Bu was relieved to lead the army to go, one hundred and fifty hundred flying eagle soldiers, in the confrontation of thousands of people, played an extremely limited role, but they were active on the battlefield, they were terrifying, and the flying eagle could bring extremely useful information to the army, which was also where Lu Bu's confidence in cutting off Yuan Shu's grain path was.

Chen Lan keenly noticed that from time to time, there were men in black dressed in mysterious costumes, whispering something to Lu Bu, and the cavalry was constantly changing the direction of their advance.

Compared with Chen Lan, Wei Yan pays more attention to the combat effectiveness of the army and personal force, of course, in terms of strategy, Wei Yan is also extremely outstanding, he needs to emerge in this operation, make meritorious achievements, surprise attacks, and Wei Yan's favorite, war, it is necessary to win at the minimum cost, as for what kind of means, it becomes less important after victory, Lu Bu can lead his troops to cut off the grain route of Yuan Shu's army, Wei Yan is also extremely admired.

"Ziyuan was in Yuan Shu's army, and he is also very familiar with the front, in your opinion, where does Yuan Shu's army need to go through if it wants to transport grain and grass?" Lu Bu asked in a low voice.

Chen Lan frowned, and after thinking for a long time, she said slowly: "Lord, the matter of transporting grain is an absolute secret in the army, and it is impossible to know the status of his subordinates at that time, but Yuan Shu's army has tens of thousands of people, and the daily consumption of grain and grass is also extremely amazing. ”

"Okay, Ben Hou will give you a hundred cavalry, responsible for investigating the grain and grass of Yuan Shu's army, and Wei Yan will go with you." Lu Budao.

The two of them hugged their fists and glanced at each other, both of them saw a strong fighting spirit in each other's eyes, Wei Yan almost broke the cavalry led by Chen Lan, it was impossible not to take it to heart, but now that the two of them are in the same state army, it is naturally not good to mention the unpleasantness of the past, and now that there is competition, they naturally want to let the other party see their own ability, of course, the premise of all this is to be able to find the enemy's grain channel.

This is also Lu Bu's intention, and the generals of the state army, can not give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of because of internal discord, the battlefield is the easiest place to run in the generals, he believes that Wei Yan and Chen Lan can eliminate each other's estrangement in cooperation.

In order not to attract the attention of Yuan Shu, Liu Biao still ordered the soldiers under his command to attack Anfeng, but the strength of the attack was much worse than in the past, which also made Yuan Shu breathe a sigh of relief, the soldiers came to the city, the city was inevitably panicked, the defenders in the city also paid the price of nearly 3,000 people, compared with the soldiers of the princes' coalition army, most of the soldiers in Huainan were recruits who had not experienced the war, and in the face of the swarming enemy army, They are sometimes so nervous that they forget to release their arrows.

Yuan Shu let his soldiers take turns to defend the city, why did he not have the intention of training the soldiers in the war, he wanted to use the blood of the soldiers of the coalition army to make his own soldiers more elite, and then give the coalition army a fatal blow.

The coalition forces slowed down the pace of siege, and the defenders in the city also felt much more relaxed, and it was easy to make various defensive actions according to the orders of the generals.

At this time, Yuan Shu received a war letter from the alliance of princes.

In the face of the war book, the civil and military generals in the middle talked a lot.

Yuan Jian stepped forward and said: "Holy Lord, the thief army must be short of food and grass, if you want to fight quickly, as long as you stick to the city, the rebel thief will naturally retreat when the food is exhausted, but it is to make the defenders of Lou and Lu'an vigilant at all times, to prevent the rebel from bypassing Anfeng and attacking other cities, then the rebel army will have nothing to do." ”

Situ Yanxiang said: "Shengshang, the number of rebel alliance is large, and the grain and grass consumed are not a few, and our army is the same, now when the rebels attack the city, there is no longer the fierceness of the day, seeing that the city of Anfeng is strong, the army's heart will float, if the saint leads the army to meet the battle, and breaks the rebel thieves with a dignified and upright army, then the big thing is decided, why worry about the princes not heart to the Dazhong family." ”

Yuan Shu nodded slightly, "What Yan Situ said is also reasonable, the rebel army is scattered, the Zhong family army inside and outside the city has 60,000 people, and the soldiers use their lives, and the rebel alliance is naturally not a problem." ”

"Shengshang, although the number of the Bingzhou Army, Yanzhou Army, Xuzhou Army, and Jiangdong Army among the rebel alliance is small, it is strong and powerful, and it cannot be ignored, so I hope the Holy One will think twice." Yuan said urgently.

"Please think twice!" The Wenchen led by Yuan Jian persuaded one after another.

"The rebel alliance is not to worry, as long as the saint is willing to take out that thing, why not break the rebel alliance!" Seeing Yuan Shu's hesitant expression, Zhang Xun stepped forward and said.

"What the general said is very true, although the strength of the rebel alliance is strong, but our army is not weak, Hua Xiong led 3,000 cavalry to kill the rebel thief that day lost his armor and strengthened the prestige of our army." Yan Xiang echoed.

"Okay, just take the words of Situ and the general, and face off with the traitors outside the city in five days." Yuan Shu thought of what he had been hiding, full of confidence, and there were flying horses in Jizhou, and there were first dead soldiers in Jizhou, how could he Yuan Shu have no background, but it was not time to take it out, what he wanted was to be able to break Liu Biao and others in one fell swoop.

The others couldn't understand the words of Yuan Shu and Zhang Xun and others, and they were also talking about it, the lowest number of soldiers in the princes' alliance was 80,000, and although there were nearly 60,000 soldiers and horses inside and outside the city, the maximum number that could really be put into the battlefield was only 40,000, which was completely an unequal battle.

Yuan Shu responded to the battle, but it was unexpected by Liu Biao and others, Yuan Shu had 100,000 people under his command, but the army was scattered in the three cities, and the soldiers and horses inside and outside the city were only 60,000 at most, and although the coalition army suffered heavy losses in the siege, there were more than 80,000 people, occupying an advantage in numbers, the number of recruits in the Jingzhou army was quite large, and the same was true of the army under Yuan Shu, not to mention that with the help of the princes, the strength of the coalition army seemed stronger.

Cao Cao frowned when he heard the news, if he faced such a situation, unless he could have enough confidence to fight, he would definitely not fight a decisive battle with the enemy so easily, occupy the advantages of the city, and start a field battle with both sides, there is a big difference.

"My lord, I'm afraid it's Yuan Shu who has something to rely on, so he dares to join forces for a decisive battle." Tusefulness said in a low voice.

"Dependent?" Cao Cao was puzzled: "Could it be the cavalry under Hua Xiong?"
