In Yecheng, in the state pastor's mansion, Yuan Shao stared at the overwhelmed soldiers in front of him, with a little indescribable fatigue on his faces, he fought all the way out of the encirclement and fled here, having exhausted his physical strength, just to pass the news of the fall of Guangzong back.

"Alright, you can go down and heal first." Xu You opened his mouth indifferently, and led the wounded messenger out of the meeting hall, and then said in a deep voice: "Since Guangzong has been breached, the army of Taiping thieves is afraid that it will reach Yecheng in the near future, so we must prepare early." ”

Yuan Shao said angrily: "Preparation, preparation, you have been preparing for so long, can you resist the army of Taiping thieves, don't you have any foundation at all?" ”

Tian Feng was embarrassed: "Lord, although there are still more than 100,000 troops in Yecheng, there are 300,000 Taiping thieves in the army, and under the strong pressure, even if Yecheng is tall, it is difficult to resist, so if you want to break the enemy, you need to think of other countermeasures to have a chance to win." ”

"There are many enemy soldiers, but because of the division of troops to attack various cities in Jizhou, it is bound to march in several ways, and when the time comes, we will concentrate our forces and break them one by one!" Fu Zhi immediately said in a deep voice: "In this way, the enemy army will not be able to give full play to the advantage of being outnumbered, and our army will be able to have a slight advantage. ”

"Is that so? That's good! Yuan Shao nodded a little dejectedly and said: "My heart is in turmoil, and the matter here is fully handed over to you virtuous people!" ”

Looking at Yuan Shao, who was depressed, Tian Feng, Fu Zhu, Xu You, Judge, Feng Ji and others couldn't help but sigh slightly, it seems that the failure of the Battle of the Boundary Bridge has given Yuan Shao signs of collapse, and the successive defeats in the war made him even more depressed, for a hegemonic hero. This does not bode well, but for now, we can only get through the current difficulties before we are qualified to talk about anything else.

Otherwise, once Yecheng was broken by the Taiping army, it would be difficult for the rear of Jizhou to survive. When the time comes, not only Yuan Shao will not survive, but they, who are from major families, will not be spared, after all, fighting local tyrants and dividing land is the highest policy that the Taiping Army has always pursued.

Since the Taiping Army revolted in Qingzhou, it has successively captured most of the territory of the Han Dynasty, and there has never been an exception, but all wealthy families with a little bad deeds have been disposed of. It is an indisputable fact that all the warrior clans and gate lords were wiped out under the butcher's knife of the Taiping army.

At this moment, although the strategists under Yuan Shao's command already have the rudiments of a faction, Yuan Shao's wings are not full, although there are factions, it is not obvious, and there are dirty differences between several major strategists. But at this time of crisis, everyone can also put aside their daily personal grievances. Join hands to fight the enemy.

"The vanguard of the Taiping thieves is coming, I don't know what you think, which general can take on the great task and lead the troops to attack the vanguard army of the Taiping thieves?" They glanced at each other, and after half a ring, they were among the crowd. Only then did Tian Feng ask in a deep voice.

"The general Ju Yi can take on this responsibility!" In fact, although there are many fierce generals under Yuan Shao's account, there are not many people who can lead an army alone. At least in the opinion of Fu Zhu, Yan Liangwen is ugly and brave, but if you want to talk about the marching formation, you can only evaluate the middle and upper, compared to Ju Yi, it is too far behind.

"Gentlemen, the last general is going to war!" Hearing the frustrated words, Ju Yi immediately stepped forward to ask for battle, his eyes full of excitement and high fighting intent.

"Although Yuan Rong has wisdom, but the courage is insufficient, there are many elite soldiers and fierce generals among the Taiping thieves, this battle is not trivial, I am afraid that Yuan Rong is alone, not enough to take on the big responsibility, I think I still need a general to the army!" Feng Ji frowned and said: "Under the command of the lord, Yan Liang is known as the most brave and ugly, I suggest that Yan Liang be the main general, supplemented by Yuan Rong, lead 50,000 elites, take advantage of the arrival of the Taiping thief vanguard to go out of the city to raid when the foothold is not stable, and you can break the enemy with one blow!" ”

"I'm afraid that's a bit wrong, isn't it?" Tian Feng frowned.

But the judge and Xu Yu all agreed with Feng Ji's words, three to two, and he sighed helplessly after all, he could see that Feng Ji and others were jealous of Ju Yi, and secondly, they were actually nothing more than suppressing him and Tian Feng.

Three days later, the vanguard of the Taiping army has arrived fifty miles away from Yecheng, and the vanguard generals Dian Wei and Xu Sheng led 50,000 troops to camp and camp for a long time, knowing that Yecheng is difficult to break, so they are very self-aware and did not attack the city, but are ready to wait for the arrival of Xiao Lan's main army in the rear.

However, before they could complete their encampment, a spy came to report that a large number of officers and troops in Jizhou City were attacking and were about to approach the camp!

"Huh?" Hearing this, Dian Wei couldn't help but groan, and said in surprise: "I really didn't expect Yuan Shao to be so bold!" ”

Xu Sheng sneered to himself, and said: "I don't think Yuan Shao has the courage to do this, at most, he will send the generals under his command to lead the troops to attack, in a vain attempt to take advantage of the new arrival of our army and the unstable foothold, wanting to break our army." ”

Dian Wei frowned and said, "Then how should we deal with it?" ”

Xu Sheng sneered: "You can rest assured, Yuan Shao was defeated in the first battle of Jieqiao, and the generals under his command suffered countless casualties, and there are not many who are qualified to lead the troops. ”

Dian Wei laughed and said: "I have long heard that the generals under Yuan Shao in Jizhou, Yan Liangwen and Chou are the most powerful, so I will give an order to let the soldiers prepare early!" ”

As if to confirm Xu Sheng's words, not long after, the official army of Jizhou came to the border, and the leader of the troops was indeed the general under Yuan Shao, as for himself, he was naturally cowered in the state minister's mansion in Yecheng, and he couldn't even see a shadow.

Yan Liang led the army to the gate of the Taiping military camp, although he entered the range of the archers, he was not afraid, looked up at the wall, and shouted loudly: "I am Yan Liang, the general of Jizhou, the Taiping thief who troubles the world, but anyone dares to come down and fight with a certain battle?!" ”

"General Yan Liang, the thief army has just arrived, the camp is completely built, the soldiers are also tired, and when our army attacks again, the morale is unstable, this is a good opportunity to attack, don't miss it!" Standing under the wall of the Taiping Army, Ju Yi grasped the overall situation, and immediately made suggestions to Yan Liang, but failed to get the position of the coach, which made Ju Yi inevitably feel guilty, but since he had already taken over this errand, he did not plan to compete with Yan Liang, but tried his best to help Yan Liang check and fill in the gaps, and offer advice, after all, this battle is related to the safety of the entire Jizhou or who is in charge of Jizhou.

"Don't worry, I know how to measure!" Yan Liang spoke in a deep voice, obviously, he was not very happy with Ju Yi's suggestion, in his opinion, this campaign, it was clear that he was the boss, but Ju Yi pointed fingers at him, which was really annoying.

Ju Yi wanted to persuade again, but saw that the door of the Taiping military camp suddenly opened, and then, an ugly general with a tiger's back and a bear's waist led the troops to rush out to meet the battle.

"Someone really came out to fight?!" Seeing this, Yan Liang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, he just shouted, he didn't think that someone would really dare to come out to fight at this time, to be honest, he was also very bottomless in his heart, if it was a strongman like Huang Zhong who could match Lu Bu, even he would not have the slightest chance of winning. But seeing that although the person who came was born was tall and big, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, it was obviously not Huang Zhong, which made him secretly relieved.

However, just as he was about to step forward to face the battle, Ju Yi hurriedly said on the side: "General Yan Liang, the fighter plane is fleeting, don't pay attention to this person, attack as soon as possible and break through the enemy camp!" ”

The Taiping army is like a cloud, he has seen it with his own eyes, since the other party dares to come out to fight, he doesn't have to think about it and knows that he must have the ability, Yan Liang will not win, if he wins, it's okay, but what if he loses?

According to Ju Yi's meaning, at this moment, there is no need to fight generals, with the current morale gap between the two sides, launch a strong attack in one go, and will inevitably be able to win, even if there are fierce generals in the Taiping army, but, in the face of the attack of thousands of troops, personal combat power is limited after all.

It's a pity, although Ju Yi thought thoroughly, but Yan Liang didn't appreciate it, he was a pure fierce general, maybe a little strategic, but after all, the bravery was better, he saw the enemy general coming to meet the battle, how could he retreat, heard Ju Yi's words, and immediately smiled: "General Ju Yi doesn't need to worry, and it's not too late for me to kill the thief before attacking!"
