"Jizhou is fertile for thousands of miles, Yuan Shaoxiong is located in Jizhou, there are many generals, and there are many talents under the account, Tian Feng, Fu Zhu, Xu You, Guo Tu, Xiao Ji, Trial, Xin Ping and others give advice to him, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang He, Gao Lan, Han Meng, Chun Yuqiong, etc. are their minions, and their strength is far more than Cao Cao. Judging from the current strength of our army, it is still difficult to deal with Cao Cao, let alone Yuan Shao. Since Yuan Shao intends to be in Qingzhou, then give him Qingzhou, as long as the lord rescues Kong Beihai from danger, there is no need to be an enemy of Yuan Shao. Zhang Hong said slowly.

After Zhang Yan heard this, his brows furrowed, Zhang Hong's words were true, judging from the current situation, Yuan Shao was undoubtedly the most powerful one among the heroes. At this stage, his foundation is not solid, not enough to confront Yuan Shao, as long as he is given another two years, he will definitely be able to build an invincible army, and at that time, whatever Cao Cao and Yuan Shao will be, they will all be subjugated to his feet.

Seeing Zhang Yan's thoughtful look, Zhang Hong continued: "However, the lord doesn't have to worry too much, after Yuan Shao occupies Qingzhou, he will inevitably stop in Qingzhou and spy on the Central Plains. After all, behind him, there is also Gongsun Chan who gives him a headache. Gongsun Chan occupies Youzhou, and the soldiers and horses are also extremely strong, if Yuan Shao does not eliminate Gongsun Chan and solve his worries, he will definitely not go south. At least, within three years, Yuan Shao will not set foot in the Central Plains, and our army can also use these three years to concentrate on development. ”

Zhang Yan nodded again and again, feeling that there was nothing wrong with what Zhang Hong said, but it was not the same as his point of view. He said to Zhang Hong: "Sir, what you said is right, but I don't dare to agree with your opinion. Although Yuan Shao is strong, he has never dared to go south easily, is this because of Weishenme? Isn't it because Gongsun Chan is holding him back behind his back? Yuan Shao came to take Qingzhou this time, if our army gave up Qingzhou to Yuan Shao, if Yuan Shao won Qingzhou, he would inevitably use the power of the two states to deal with Gongsun Chan with all his might, which was equivalent to our army secretly helping Yuan Shao eliminate Gongsun Zhan. If our army and Yuan Shao start a battle in Qingzhou, Yuan Shao will have to guard against Gongsun Zan and fight with our army. On the contrary, our army can deal with Yuan Shao with all its strength at this time, as long as our army works together, it will definitely be able to drive Yuan Shao out of Qingzhou. If our army occupies Qingzhou, it will undoubtedly be like a tiger with wings. And our army, with the majestic posture of Qing and Xuzhou, is enough to win the Central Plains. ”

Zhang Hong heard Zhang Yan's inner thoughts, and then he realized that Zhang Yan did not send troops to Qingzhou to rescue Kong Rong, but to take advantage of the situation to occupy Qingzhou. He said slowly: "I understand what the lord meant, since the lord has the idea of occupying Qingzhou, then Zigang should spare no effort to give advice to the lord!" ”

Zhang Yan saw that Zhang Hong understood what he was thinking, so he arched his hand and said, "There is Mr. Lao." ”

At the same time, in the big tent of Yuan Jun, Yuan Tan gathered civil and military forces and was discussing countermeasures and how to deal with the Xuzhou soldiers who had just arrived.

The sudden arrival of the Xuzhou soldiers greatly surprised Yuan Tan and others, and what surprised them even more was that the armor of the Xuzhou soldiers was so good that the arrows could not penetrate, and the knives and spears were not damaged at all, so that today they were about to capture Zhuxu City, but in the end they failed.

Yuan Tan frowned, looked around at the people in the tent, and asked, "Everyone, do you have any good strategies to deal with the Xuzhou soldiers?" ”

Guo Tu said: "Since the Xuzhou soldiers are here to save Kong Rong, it is better to write a letter for people to shoot into the city, inform the Xuzhou soldiers, let him take Kong Rong away, if you insist on staying here, you will be the enemy of our army." ”

Yuan Tan asked: "What if the Xuzhou soldiers are always unwilling to retreat?" ”

Guo Tu said: "Then don't blame our army for being polite, the Xuzhou soldiers are just using the advantage of the armor, there is nothing to fear." As long as you use clever plans, you can naturally break the Xuzhou soldiers. ”

Xu You, who was standing beside Guo Tu, suddenly spoke: "The Xuzhou soldiers are all wearing heavy armor, but they are moving very slowly, although our army's arrows, swords and guns cannot harm them, it does not mean that our army cannot deal with them. The heavy armor on their bodies is like a turtle shell, since our weapons can't do damage to the heavy armor, let's borrow external force! ”

"External forces? What external force? Yuan Tan asked.

Xu You smiled, raised his hand and pointed to a flame in the big tent, and said loudly: "Attack with fire!" Burn them! ”

Guo Tu sneered: "Attack with fire? Easier said than done! Those Xuzhou soldiers are not fools, how could they stand there and let you set fire to them? ”

Xu You said: "So, you have to use a clever plan!" Tomorrow, our army will only go to attack the city, and the Xuzhou soldiers will inevitably go out of the city to meet the battle, and after a moment of battle with it, our army will flee in defeat, lure the Xuzhou soldiers to pursue, lead them to the haode ambush circle arranged in advance, and then set fire to them together. ”

Guo Tu said: "It's easy to say, but it's hard to do." What if those Xuzhou soldiers are not fooled? ”

Xu Yu said: "If you want to take it, you must give it first." The key is to see if we can really convince the other side that our army is really defeated and fled, and not pretending. Therefore, our army needs a group of brave men who will use them as bait to lure the enemy into the ambush circle. ”

Yuan Tan thought for a moment, and immediately said: "Okay, it's decided, just use Xu Junshi's strategy." Yan Liang, the matter of selecting the brave will be left to you. ”

"Whoa!"

The next day, under the leadership of Yuan Tan, the Yuan army came to the city of Zhuxu, Zhang Yan led the army out, and the heavy cavalry and heavy infantry were neatly arranged under the city, mighty and majestic.

Yuan Tan rode on a green chestnut horse, wearing a familiar bronze helmet and iron armor, Guo Tu, Xu You, Yan Liang and others lined up behind him, and the soldiers of the Yuan army were also neatly arranged, divided into one phalanx after another, eyeing each other.

On the tower of Zhu Xucheng, Kong Rong, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei stood there watching the battle.

There was a murderous aura between heaven and earth, Yuan Tan turned his face and whispered a word to Yan Liang behind him, Yan Liang nodded, rode out, slapped the horse and danced the knife, and came directly to the front of the team.

Yan Liang immediately stood in front of the military formation, glanced at the Xuzhou soldiers opposite, and shouted loudly: "I am Yan Liang, the general under the Jizhou pastoral tent, who dares to fight me to the death!" ”

The sound is like thunder, rolling into the ears.

Zhang Yan looked at Yan Liang carefully, but saw that Yan Liang was burly, with a strong physique, a long horse face under the iron helmet, an aggressive light in his eyes, Fang Shuo's mouth, a green beard hanging on his chin, hanging down to his chest, and his whole body was full of a strong killing intent, looking majestic.

Behind Zhang Yan, the two generals Tai Shici and Xu Chu couldn't bear it, they all clutched the weapons in their hands, and the war horses under the seats were even more restless and eager to try.

Zhang Hong said to Zhang Yan: "Yan Liang is a fierce general under Yuan Shao's account, bravely crowning the three armies, and having the courage of ten thousand people, you must not underestimate it." ”

Zhang Yan nodded, and a pair of eyes were scanning the military formation layout of the Yuan army opposite, but he saw that the soldiers behind Yan Liang were all tall, burly and sturdy, and in the rest of the military formation, there were few such soldiers, which showed that Yan Liang led them were all elite in the army.

Yan Liang saw that no one on the other side replied, and shouted again: "Wait for the gallless rats, come to grandpa and get killed!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Tai Shici behind Zhang Yan immediately hugged his fists and said: "Lord, this person has no one in his eyes, please let the lord allow me to fight and behead this dog!" ”

Xu Chu also hugged his fists and said: "Lord, I am also willing to go!" ”

Zhang Yan said: "I think you all heard what the military advisor said just now, Yan Liang is not an idle person, you must not underestimate it." ”

"Don't worry, my lord, we will never take it lightly." Tai Shici and Xu Chu said in unison.

Zhang Yan was silent for a moment, and then said, "Ziyi, you go to meet Yan Liang first!" ”

"Whoa!"

Tai Shi Ci received the order, and immediately rode out with a gun, and the whole person flew towards Yan Liang like an arrow off the string, and shouted: "Yan Liang Xiao'er, Hugh is rampant, your grandfather Tai Shi Ci is here to take your dog's head!" ”

Yan Liang sneered, didn't answer, raised the big knife in his hand, clamped the horse's belly between his legs, and galloped out with a "driving".

Tai Shi Ci and Yan Liang walked in the opposite direction, and the two war horses ran fast, and they met together in an instant, and the two raised their swords and guns together, and immediately started fighting.

With a buzzing sound, the knives and guns collided together, and both of them used all their strength, the blades met, sparks flew everywhere, and at the same time, both of their hands were slightly numb from the shock.

The two fought for a round, and no one could help anyone, and they were equal.

After separating in an instant, Yan Liang and Tai Shici both secretly admired each other, and as soon as they ran out here, they immediately grabbed the horse again, turned the horse's head, and hedged again.

The two horses intersected, swords and guns clashed, Tai Shici and Yan Liang were high-spirited, they didn't give in to each other, and they fought for more than a dozen rounds in a row, but they didn't win or lose.

The battle between the two was very fierce, and it also attracted everyone's side attention, and in the Yuan army's camp, from Yuan Tan and below, they didn't expect that there would be such a fierce general under Zhang Yan's account.

Zhang Fei, who was watching the battle from the upper floor of Zhuxu City, was also completely attracted by this fierce fight, and they all geared up.

Guan Yu beside Zhang Fei, Danfeng's eyes always narrowed into a slit, and his gaze at Yan Liang revealed a trace of disdain. He stroked his long hair lightly and said slowly: "Yan Liang, that's it!" ”

Xu Chu, who was behind Zhang Yan, had already been surging with blood, and the war horse under the seat had been restless.

When Yan Liang and Taishi Ci were fighting, Kong Rong on the city tower suddenly shouted loudly: "Zhang Yuanjun, the Yuan army has come in from the West Gate, please support quickly!" ”

When Zhang Yan heard this shout, he said to Xu Sheng unhurriedly: "Quickly lead the troops to the city to support, and kill them!" ”

"Whoa!" Xu Sheng received the order and led 2,500 heavy infantry to gallop into the city, and Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, who were watching the battle on the city tower, also went down to the city tower one after another, and led the old troops to the west gate to kill the enemy.

In Yuan Jun's camp, Xu You saw that the Xuzhou soldiers were moving, so he immediately said to Yuan Tan: "Eldest prince, you can act!" ”

Yuan Tan nodded, and immediately asked the flag bearer behind him to raise the red flag. Not long after the red flag was raised, a force of Yuan army, led by Zhang He, killed from the left side. On the right, Yuan Jun, under the leadership of Han Meng, rushed over.

At the same time, the soldiers behind Yan Liang also launched an attack on Zhu Xucheng at the same time.

Yuan Jun's momentum was huge, like a rolling flood, surging towards Zhuxu City together.

When Zhang Yan saw that Yuan's army was menacing, he immediately arranged his troops, the infantry surrounded him, and the cavalry pressed the formation, forming a wall of steel, with long spears and ready to meet the enemy at any time.
