With the development of the Battle of Kuangting, the situation in Liu Xiang's department has become more and more unfavorable.

Yuan Shu, who was stationed in Fengqiu, naturally got the news quickly.

When he learned that his side really defeated Cao Cao's army without a fight, his fluttering mentality changed slightly, and it was vaguely like Yuan Yao's words of warning to his ears:

"Father, Cao Cao is a person with outstanding ability, and he must not have the heart of contempt for the enemy."

"Yao'er predicted that I would not be able to defeat Cao Cao when he had not sent troops more than a month ago, so he caused him to leave Xiliang and join the Xiliang army to help?"

For a moment, thinking back to Yuan Yao's previous words, Yuan Shu suddenly muttered thoughtfully.

But the war on the front line was urgent, and there was not much time left for him to think about it.

Military government.

The generals gathered together, Yuan Shu was at the top, looked at the people on both sides, his tone was heavy and serious, and said:

"Ladies and gentlemen, the current situation in Kuangting is urgent, this is a letter sent by Liu Xiang asking for help, saying that Sergeant Cao is diligent and brave, he is already difficult to beat, and he urgently needs the general to lead most of the troops to the rescue."

"Kuangting is the main road of transportation from Chenliu to Dongjun, Jiyin and other hinterlands of Shandong, the strategic location is extremely important, and there must be no mistakes.

An order was handed down, Yan Xiang stood tightly, and arched his hand: "Now that the situation has changed, our army originally wanted to have a decisive battle in the spring, but we did not expect that the Cao army would attack in this cold season, and this matter may be strange." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"My lord, I am worried that this may be Cao Cao's plan, in order to deliberately lure the main force of our army."

Yan Xiang pondered for a moment, and said with some concern.

He now trusts Gongzi Yuan Yao's judgment more and more.

In terms of the combat power of its own soldiers, it may indeed have a big gap compared to Cao's army.

Otherwise, how could the pioneer general Liu Xiang be forced to launch an urgent report for help?

"Zishang don't have to worry, even if this is a trick of the enemy, it doesn't matter, this time the general will advance step by step as a pro-commander sergeant, if the Cao army dares to come, then the general will just gather the strength of the whole army to defeat the enemy, and then sweep the counties of Shandong."

Yuan Yao quickly replied to Yan Xiang and made a firm decision.

Sending troops to rescue is urgent!

However, as Yuan Yao's prediction became extremely accurate, Yuan Shu's original arrogant temperament was slightly restrained, and he began to gradually accept people's words......

……

Two days later.

Yuan Shu took Le Zuo and Liang Gang as generals, and did his best to gather more than 30,000 people out of Fengqiu, cross the water, and go straight to the front line of Kuangting.

Merely.

As soon as the main force of Yuan's army crossed the river, before it could be assembled, it was attacked by Cao's army, which had been waiting on the north bank of Jishui.

On the high platform in the middle of the military formation, Cao Cao was wearing a battle robe, standing with a sword, his eagle eyes looking down on the overall situation, watching his own attack, and beside him were Cheng Yu, Xi Zhong and other confidants in thick cotton robes.

Seeing that the various units of Yuan's army were attacked by their own side before they had a foothold on the shore, they were now gradually falling into the upper hand, and on the other hand, their own soldiers showed a trend of becoming more and more courageous the more they fought.

Cao Cao was overjoyed for a while, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Although the Yuan army is numerous, it is vulnerable!" ”

"Yuan Highway relies on the power of the Yuan clan to have today's momentum, but in fact he is just a fool."

After these words ended, Cao Cao showed a laugh, envy and jealousy on his face.

With the popularity of the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, even Yuan Shu can become a big thing, thinking that he Cao Cao is conceited and has great talents, but now he can only rely on Yuan Shao and act according to the eyes of others.

How unfair is God?

On the side, Xi Zhong also said in a timely manner: "The lord only needs to completely defeat Yuan Shu's forces today, then the forces will inevitably develop rapidly, and the pacification of the Central Plains counties will be just around the corner." ”

"At that time, the lord will not have to look at Yuan's eyes to act, and he can compete with him."

A bold remark couldn't help but make Cao Cao's mood feel comfortable again.

He smiled and looked at Xi Zhong for a few moments, and then his face instantly became serious, and he ordered again:

"Order Xiahoudun to intensify his offensive and strive to break Yuan's army before sunset."

"Whoa."

The flag waved, and the heralds rushed to the herald.

Xiahoudun, who was commanding the formation, held a big sword in his hand, his eyes were blazing, he was wearing a battle robe, and his heroic horse lived in the middle of the formation, commanding the soldiers to attack in an orderly manner.

When he received the order to intensify the attack, he raised his sword and shouted: "Order the sword and shield men to press in quickly, the pikemen to press on closely, and the crossbowmen to guard the two wings to prevent the enemy from counterattacking." ”

The Dao order was quickly issued, and then Xiahou Xuan personally raised the big sword and led the knights to fight straight into the Yuan army.

A big knife rushed straight into the Yuan army's array, as if it was like a dragon and a tiger, cutting down Yuan pawns who were close to him, but no one could resist.

Seeing that his general was so brave, the morale of the sergeants under his command was greatly encouraged, and they spontaneously shouted: "Kill, kill ......"

Suddenly, Cao Jun once again burst out with extremely strong combat power.

The various units of Yuan's army have fallen into a bitter battle, and it is becoming more and more difficult to resist......

In the middle of the formation.

Yuan Shu saw the enemy general Xiahoudun bravely rushing forward as if he were in a no-man's land, so he couldn't help but feel angry and shouted:

"Order Liang Gang and Le to besiege and kill the rampant enemy general."

The order was handed down.

Liang Gang and Le gathered the sergeants and re-formed a formation to surround Xiahoudun's assault.

It's just that Xiahoudun was not afraid, and still led his troops to break through the army formation, and there were no people to stop him along the way.

Seeing this, the two of them came with a sword.

The next moment, the three of them fought to a group.

Although Xiahoudun was one against two, he also had superb knife skills in the palm of his hand, not only breaking the tricks of the two in a row, but suppressing their offensive and gaining the upper hand.

accounted for about more than 20 people, and Liang and Le completely fell into disadvantage.

Rear.

Seeing that Xiahoudun was so brave that his two generals couldn't take it together, he couldn't help but become more and more angry, looked at Ji Ling, who was guarding him from the side, and said sharply:

"Ji Ling, this general ordered you to take the enemy general directly, and be sure to behead him to sacrifice."

"Whoa."

As soon as he gave the order, Ji Ling's face was serious and he agreed.

Then, he rode his horse and raised his sword and went straight to Xiahoudun.

It's just that even though Yuan Shu sent the first brave general under his command, there was indeed a big gap between the combat strength of his own soldiers and Cao's army, and he was attacked because of his unstable foothold.

Now with the comprehensive pressure of Cao Jun, the situation has shown a one-sided trend.

Maybe today, Yuan Jun will sink into the sand.

Yuan Shu's dream of winning the Central Plains is about to be shattered?

Thinking of this, Yuan Shu suddenly glared angrily and said: "No, I am the concubine of the Yuan family, and my identity is so noble, how can I lose to Cao Cao, a eunuch who is like a slave?" ”

It's just that even though he was extremely angry, he still couldn't change the tide of the battle.

In this battle, did Yuan Jun really have to be defeated?

Note: In ancient times, Shandong referred to the area east of Taihang Mountain, not Shandong.
