Wei County, sixty miles northeast of Fanyang City, Citing. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Zhang Fei and Zhang He led the army to cross the Huanshui River in the south. At this time, he received news that the rebels had suddenly slaughtered out of Wei City, broken through the blockade, and were now rapidly withdrawing in the direction of Fanyang.

"If nothing else, Zilong's iron cavalry should be able to catch up with the rebels." Zhang Fei looked at the map carefully, and then said to Zhang He, "I'll set up a formation here." We fought back and forth with Zilong to wipe out the rebels who had escaped from Wei City. ”

Zhang He nodded and said with a smile: "Does Yide want to take the opportunity to lure the rebels in the Fanyang and Neihuang areas over?" ”

"If Yuan Shao is surrounded by us, the rebels of Fanyang and Neihuang will definitely save him." Zhang Fei showed a trace of worry on his face, "But if Yuan Shao is in the Fanyang and Neihuang areas, he will most likely abandon this road and evacuate quickly." ”

"Yide, no matter what, we have annihilated the rebels all the way, and it can be regarded as a heavy blow to Yuan Shao and achieved the pre-war goal." Liu Bowen, a military advisor who had just arrived in the army, said.

Zhang Fei smiled faintly and said, "There is a certain difference between the heavy blow that the eldest brother said and the heavy blow we think. In the eyes of the eldest brother, the so-called heavy damage to Yuan Shao will at least make Yuan Shao lose more than half of his troops. ”

Zhang He and Liu Bowen looked at each other and did not speak.

"Send more people to find Lu Fengxian, we urgently need his cooperation." Zhang Fei said, "Tell Yu Poison and ask him to immediately lead the army to Yanting, ten miles away, to block the reinforcements coming from the direction of Fanyang and Neihuang." ”

"Send someone to contact Zilong, tell him about our plan, and ask him not to rush to attack. Now this enemy is bait, whether you can catch Yuan Shao's fish depends on whether this bait is fragrant or not. ”

Wei County, sixty miles southwest of Wei City, Sanshang Pavilion.

The Northern Frontier Iron Cavalry caught up again.

Yuan Shao planned to send 5,000 troops to block the Northern Frontier Iron Cavalry again, but the scouts sent a terrible news that Citing, fifteen miles ahead, had defeated the Northern Frontier Army. At this time, there is an interception in front and a chasing army in the rear, and if the division of troops continues, it is very likely to cause the collapse of the army.

Yuan Shao hesitated.

"My lord, order Gao Ran and Ko Yi to lead the army to hold on here and hold back the Northern Frontier Army." Chen Lin immediately suggested, "The lord took a team of men and horses, and before the Northern Xinjiang Army was encircled, he quickly moved south to get rid of the encirclement of the Northern Xinjiang Army, and then rushed to Fanyang and Neihuang to meet Yuan Wei, and quickly retreated to Hanoi." ”

Yuan Shao's face was ugly, and Chen Lin's words meant that he would give up all the lives of the soldiers and escape alone.

At this moment, he had already received an urgent report from Wen Chou that the Northern Xinjiang Army had attacked Changshoujin and Puyangjin, and the road to retreat south had been blocked, and the only way to retreat west was to Hanoi.

But in this situation, how can he abandon the army? If this matter spreads in the future, where will he put Yuan Shao's face?

Chen Lin saw through his thoughts, and tried his best to persuade: "What is the face of the lord compared to the lord's overlord industry, and the lord's ambition to determine the world fairly?" Could it be that the lord can save the lives of these 25,000 soldiers by staying in the Three Merchants Pavilion? ”

Yuan Shao thought for a long time and accepted Chen Lin's advice. He urgently summoned Gao Ran and Lu Yi, and asked the two to lead the army to stick to the Sanshang Pavilion, and after he quietly rushed back to Fanyang from the trail, he would immediately lead his troops to rescue.

Wei County, sixty miles northeast of Fanyang City, Citing. Zhang Fei first received Zhao Yun's reply.

Zhao Yun agreed with Zhang Fei's strategy of destroying the enemy, and promised to lead a large army with Yue Yun and Zhao Zhao before the early morning, outflanking them from the east, south, and north of the Sanshang Pavilion, and encircling the rebels with an army of 10,000 foot soldiers.

Then, the scouts reported that the rebels of Fanyang City had been dispatched and were marching rapidly to the northeast, with obvious intentions, to meet the rebels who had escaped from the direction of Wei City.

In the early morning, Guan Yu's urgent letter was delivered to Zhang Fei. The situation on the battlefield suddenly changed significantly, and the main purpose of the current army was to inflict heavy damage on Yuan Shao, so Guan Yu asked Zhang Fei to use the superior forces as much as possible to kill and injure a large number of enemy troops.

Zhang Fei was very happy to learn that Wei Yan, Pan Zhang, and Guan Hai's three armies were marching south day and night, and immediately ordered Wei Yan, who was closest to Citing, to immediately lead his army to rendezvous, and prepare to join the main force of the northern army to surround the rebel reinforcements coming from Fanyang. At the same time, Pan Zhang led the army to gallop to the area of Dangyin City, waiting for an opportunity to cut off the retreat of the rebels and force the rebels to retreat in the direction of the Yellow River.

"Do everything possible to contact Lu Bu and ask him to cut off the rebels' retreat to the Yellow River and complete the encirclement of the rebels."

One of the things that Zhang Fei was looking forward to most now was that Lu Bu's iron cavalry would be able to appear behind the enemy's back as he wished.

Forty miles south of the pavilion pottery, the rain pavilion is broken.

The cavalry and archery level of the Northern Xinjiang Iron Cavalry was brought into full play, and Liu Beijun was hit again and again, and the number of casualties increased. Liu Bei was worried, if he was surrounded and beaten like this by the Northern Xinjiang Iron Cavalry, the army would not only be unable to move an inch, but would also be surrounded and swallowed by the Northern Xinjiang troops who came one after another.

Yan Rou was also worried. Although the enemy was entangled by himself, his own forces were limited and he could not carry out the encirclement and annihilation. Fearing that enemy reinforcements would arrive at any moment, he rescued the rebels.

In the middle of the night, Yan Rou received Guan Yu's order. Guan Yu asked Yan Rou to rush to the Guanting area immediately, and together with Chang Yuchun, Xu Huang and others, he attacked Cao Cao's army and Gongsun's army.

Guan Yu's order was very strange, and Yan Rou was a little confused for a while.

Rush to Guanting immediately? Didn't Guan Yu know that I was at war with Liu Beijun? Didn't I say it carefully in my letters? Now Xian Yu auxiliary iron cavalry is in the south of Yuancheng, and Zhang He's iron cavalry is near Guantao. Why can't they come to help? Could it be that Guan Yu meant to tell me to give up attacking Liu Beijun and instead attack Cao Cao's army and Gongsun army? But after the battle, I don't have any reason to give up attacking Liu Beijun, how will I explain this to the lord?

Yan Rou originally wanted to gather a few subordinates to discuss, but after careful consideration, he still made a decision. Yan Rou decided not to take the initiative to attack Liu Beijun after dawn, but to block in front of Liu Beijun and force Liu Beijun to move closer to the main force of the rebels in the direction of Guanting, so that he did not give up the attack on Liu Beijun, and quickly rushed to the vicinity of Guanting and completed the order issued by Guan Yu.

"Beat the drum a little, beat it a little, haven't you all eaten?" Le Jin waved the horsewhip in his hand, screaming and scolding. He was a short and stocky man, standing in the middle of a group of tall guards, looking out of place.

"General, all siege troops are ready to attack the city." A military Sima strode up to Le Jin and bowed.

Le Jin was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened suddenly, he raised his hand to give him a head and scolded: "Who told you to attack the city?" Did I say I'm going to attack the city? Is it up to me or you? ”

Le Jin scolded, spittle splashed, and a pair of round eyes seemed to pop out at any time. The military Sima looked annoyed, his face gradually distorted with Le Jin's roar, and a pair of big hands involuntarily clenched into fists.

"What? You still want to hit me? Le Jin glanced at him disdainfully, and the horsewhip in his hand struck his fist, "Release it, hold it tightly, I chop it up." ”

"Siege? How many of us are there? Can even 5,000 people go to the siege? You don't have to be in such a hurry if you want to die, right? We are just playing tricks here, and when General Xiahou's 10,000 troops arrive at Gulong and meet the prime minister, we will pat our butts and walk. Le Jin glared at the poor military master and asked loudly, "Do you understand now?" ”

The military Sima nodded and said, "The lower official understands, I will immediately withdraw the siege department." ”

"You're an idiot." Le Jin gave him a whip fiercely, "Feint, want to feint." Do you know what a feint is? ”

The military master trembled with anger, and he wanted to cut down this arrogant little man with a single sword. He really couldn't imagine how the prime minister would value such a person, was it because he was a short man like the prime minister?

Yanzhou, Fan City, East County. Yuan Shu made great progress all the way.

Although Xun Yu snatched the Son of Heaven one step ahead of him and made him fall short again, at this moment, he was standing on the tower of Fan Cheng, full of spirits, and he had already forgotten all the regrets of failing to grab the Son of Heaven.

In another ten days and a half months, he will be able to occupy the entire Yanzhou without much effort.

Li Ye appeared in front of Yuan Shu's eyes in a hurry.

Yuan Shu suddenly felt a little uneasy. Ever since he had a nightmare that day, the feeling of uneasiness haunted him like a ghost.

Li Ye didn't speak, his breath was short, and he looked angry.

"What's wrong? What happened? Yuan Shu smiled, "Could it be that Cao Cao escaped?" ”

"Sun Jian's entire army was annihilated." Li Ye gritted his teeth and said word by word, "I said, he can't do it." ”

The smile on Yuan Shu's face immediately froze, and Sun Jian's entire army was annihilated, which meant that the strategy to capture Xuzhou had completely failed. If Xuzhou can't be taken, it will be difficult for Yuan Shu to gain a foothold in the Central Plains. At this time, unless Li Yi completely annihilated Cao Cao and severely damaged Yuan Shao, otherwise, his next days would be dark.

Yuan Shu took a few breaths with difficulty, barely squeezed out a smile on his face, and asked, "Is there any news over there in Hebei?" ”

"Yuan Shao is still in Wei County, and he did not lead the army to retreat, it is estimated that he will take Cao Cao." Li Ye shook his head and let out a long sigh, "Now, our fate is all in the hands of Li Yi. He wants us to die, and we can't live. ”

Yuan Shu frowned, suddenly laughed, and said, "It seems that we are going to go back to Yangzhou." ”

Thirty miles southeast of the pavilion, Guanting.

When Cao Cao and Liu Biao gathered heavy troops and prepared to attack in the early morning, the opponent suddenly disappeared.

Cao Cao roared excitedly, if the army was delayed in Guanting for another day, the Northern Xinjiang army pursuing from all directions would inevitably eat the bones of the belt.

Cao Cao ordered Liu Biao to lead his army to quickly advance to Gulongju, sixty miles away. He repeatedly warned Liu Biao that the Northern Xinjiang Army around the Guantao Battlefield must have launched a full-line pursuit, and asked him to keep a distance from him, so as not to be divided and surrounded by the Northern Xinjiang Army.

Cao Cao also ordered Cao Hong and Man Chong on the left flank, Liu Bei on the right flank, and Cao Ren and Cao Chun on the rear army to quickly get rid of the entanglement of the Northern Xinjiang Army, lead the army to move closer, and withdraw in the direction of Gulongju as quickly as possible.
