Two days later, Han Cheng from Taiyuan County, Jizhou, received a 'distress letter' from Zhang Yan from Zhao County, Jizhou.

In the first time, Li Ru and Fu Zhu were summoned to the meeting hall of the newly established Governor's Mansion.

After receiving Han Cheng's urgent order, the two knew that something big must have happened, so they quickly put down the affairs in their hands and hurried over.

As soon as the three of them met, Han Cheng didn't bother, and directly handed Zhang Yan's 'distress letter' to the two, and after the two of them read it, they were all happy.

The Yuan Shao garrison in Huguan, Shangdang County, and the state not only caused great trouble to Han Cheng, but also pressed the hearts of these two top strategists like a big mountain.

Now that there is suddenly an opportunity, let Yuan Shao of Jizhou plant a heel and pull back a game, how can the two of them be unhappy?

After the two thought for a moment, Han Cheng's soldier Cao Zhi was the first to speak:

"My lord, this is a great opportunity! Through the more than 40,000 immigrants in Yunxiang County, our relationship with Zhang Yan has become much closer.

If we can help Zhang Yan repel Yuan Shao's army this time, even if Zhang Yan still doesn't want to submit to us, the reputation of our Fenwu Army will definitely be famous in the Montenegrin Army, which will be of great benefit to subduing the Montenegrin Army in the future. ”

After the frustration was finished, Li Ru, who was in charge of the intelligence, added: "Lord! Now is a good time.

Our intelligence battalion has just received reliable news that Gongsun Chan of Youzhou has signs of going south to Qingzhou again, and Yuan Shao's elite troops, the 'First Dead Soldiers', have already set off for Qingzhou yesterday to resist Gongsun Zhan's cavalry, accompanied by Yuan Shao's chief strategist Tian Feng, in addition to the general Ju Yi of the 'First Dead Soldiers', there is also Yuan Shao's chief strategist Tian Feng.

In this case, we help Zhang Yan not to send a huge number of troops, but only to send one or two thousand cavalry.

The cavalry is fast, which can not only quickly aid Zhang Yan, but also hit Yuan Shao's living force fiercely, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. ”

Han Cheng saw that the two of them agreed on the agreement and knew that this matter was feasible.

Thinking of the matter of Huguan, he said to the two of them apologetically: "I was too arbitrary and impulsive in the matter of Huguan, and I made a decision without consulting the two, so that it caused the current situation to be out of control.

I hope you two will try their best to help me, regardless of their past suspicions.

After you two go back, put down what you are doing and prepare well. I appointed two of them as the main and deputy military divisions of this expedition, and went to Zhao County in Jizhou with the army, and I wanted Yuan Shao to know the strength of my Fenwu army. ”

In the end, Han Cheng's tone was full of warlike intent.

The two knelt on the ground and said in unison, "What is the lord talking about?"

In order to save General Huang's life, the lord did not hesitate to lose a city. This is the only way to buy horse bones for thousands of miles.

After this news came out, the fierce generals of the world will inevitably rush to join the state to defect to the lord. ”

After Han Cheng heard the words of the two, there was a ripple in his heart: "If he knew the current situation, would he still choose to save Huang Zhong under the closing?" ”

Han Cheng gave himself a positive answer: "Will save!" ”

There is only one master, and when he dies, he is gone; Where the pot is closed, it can be fought for at any time.

If Han Cheng were asked to choose again, Han Cheng would still choose like this.

In a few breaths, a military order came from the Prefecture Pastoral Mansion: "Han Cheng personally led 12,000 Qinglong Army and 8,000 Sharp Sword Army to Zhao County, Jizhou to fight Yuan Shao. ”

......

Three days later, on the vast plain on the east side of Handan County, Zhao County, Jizhou, the men and horses of the two sides formed their own unique military formations, and they were facing off fiercely.

These two sides were Yuan Shao's Jizhou Army and Zhang Yan's Montenegrin Army.

On the west side, there is the military formation of the Montenegrin army.

Although there were a large number of people, there were 1450,000 people, but among them were uneven, old and young, strong and weak, and the most helpless thing was that some people did not even have a decent weapon in their hands.

Everyone is hungry and untidy, after all, they are all children of poor people, if it weren't for the persecution of life too ruthlessly, now they would not be placed in the Jizhou army to dance knives and guns.

The Chinese army had a neat army of 8,000, all of whom were strong men, and surrounded Zhang Yan and other leaders tightly in the middle.

These 8,000 people are Zhang Yan's elite army, and they are also the confidence of Zhang Yan and Yuan Shao to confront each other.

If someone looks closely, they will find that these 8,000 soldiers are different from the past, and the more than 500 people closest to Zhang Yan are actually wearing cloth armor and holding a giant axe, and forming a murderous aura around their bodies.

This is the elite of Zhang Yan's elite - Black Mountain Axemen, all of whom are composed of strong people who can fight well.

If it weren't for Zhang Yan getting the news that Han Cheng had arrived yesterday, no matter what he said today, he wouldn't have brought out all his elite forces.

Zhang Yan looked at Yuan Shao opposite, and said in her heart: "Yuan Benchu, today will definitely be able to make you feel ashamed, so that you can't eat and walk around." ”

On the east side, there is Yuan Shao's Jizhou army formation.

Although there were only about 50,000 people, they were all dressed in armor and holding sharp blades.

With the victories accumulated in the past ten days, there is no fear of the hundreds of thousands of Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Army.

If it weren't for the imminent war, you wouldn't be able to talk and laugh from ear to ear; It is estimated that this group of soldiers sat together early and talked about the world.

In their hearts, although Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Army has a large number of people, its combat effectiveness is really not good, it is just a group of rabble.

Under the leadership of the 'God of War' Lu Bu, the Jizhou Army only needed to charge once, and it was able to defeat Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Army and abandon its armor and flee in the wilderness.

The name of the 'God of War' is the nickname given by Yuan Shao's soldiers to the brave and warlike Lu Bu in recent days.

Not only were the soldiers so careless, but even the generals and strategists around Yuan Shao were a little lax.

And Tian Feng, who is known for his prudence, was sent to Qingzhou by Yuan Shao again, after all, although Tian Feng has outstanding strategies, he can't speak too much, and Yuan Shao doesn't like him.

Guo Tu, the little eye beside Yuan Shao, looked at Yuan Shao's expression a little serious today, and after thinking for a while, he whispered to Yuan Shao: "Lord, after these few days of training, these 40,000 Jizhou troops have almost been trained. I don't think there is any need to practice anymore after today, and I will directly wipe out this Black Mountain Army in one fell swoop. ”

Yuan Shao likes Guo Tu very much, precisely because Guo Tu really understands his own mind.

Qingzhou has already come to war, and his time is very short, so he can't spend a lot of time on training.

Besides, I did train as a soldier for more than ten days, so it was a good choice to finish it as soon as possible.

So, Yuan Shao ordered: "The whole army attack!" Wipe out the bandits on the other side in one fell swoop. ”

After hearing Yuan Shao's order, the 40,000 army came towards the Black Mountain Army.

Zhang Yan saw that Yuan Shao's Jizhou army was moving, and also shouted loudly to the people around him: "Brothers, according to the old rules, kill!" ”

The 'old rule' that Zhang Yan said is to charge in an all-round way.

After all, Zhang Yan's subordinates are not good at equipment, nor is their military quality, and they often don't have enough to eat, so in order to win, they can only use this way of winning by quantity.

The soldiers of the Jizhou army saw that the Montenegrin thieves on the opposite side rushed towards them desperately, and their demeanor changed from relaxed and comfortable just now to angry and nervous now, and then they were ready to go, waiting for the arrival of the other party.

Both armies were quick charges, and they soon met together.

In less than half an hour of the first battle, hundreds of thousands of people under Zhang Yan were defeated and retreated by Yuan Shao's army.

Zhang Yan looked at his subordinates who were constantly being killed, and his heart was dripping blood.

But I know that if I do what I do, it will take a while.

For the sake of the final victory, even if the heart is dripping blood, you must let go of the drops.

After another quarter of an hour, Zhang Yan saw that the time was ripe, and the soldiers of the Jizhou Army had begun to 'pick up military merits' behind the army of the Montenegrin Army.

So, Zhang Yan said to the eight thousand elites under his command: "Brothers, the last moment has come. For the sake of military merit, Yuan Shao's soldiers will scatter to pursue the people who have just begun to escape, and everyone will maintain the formation to kill Yuan Shao's soldiers to the greatest extent, take revenge, and be ashamed. ”

After hearing Zhang Yan's words, more than 8,000 people replied in unison: "No! ”

Eight thousand people greeted the retreating crowd, like the tip of a sharp spear, and went straight to Yuan Shao, the Chinese army of the Jizhou army.

Yuan Shao's soldiers thought that just like a few days ago, they would just chase after this group of retreating people to 'pick up military merits'.

So, the formation was scattered and chased the Montenegrin army around.

At this time, Zhang Yan led 8,000 elites to kill them, and the soldiers of the Jizhou Army were caught off guard, and for a while, there were heavy casualties.

Yuan Shao saw in the Chinese army that his soldiers were scattered because of their military exploits, and they were killed by Zhang Yan's 8,000 elites, and he was furious in his heart: "Zhang Yan, you are so vicious. ”

Then he ordered Lu Bu on the side: "Fengxian, you lead five thousand cavalry and exterminate all these bandits for me." ”

"No!" Lu Bu replied, then turned around and led the army.

Zhang Yan's counterattack made Yuan Shao really angry, and he actually let all the cavalry under his command be dispatched.

This is more dangerous, and all the strategists know this truth, but looking at Yuan Shao's cracked fingers, no one dares to say a word.

At this time, the strategists remembered very tacitly that they had run Tian Feng together, after all, according to Tian Feng's character, at this time, they would inevitably persuade Yuan Shao to reduce the number of cavalry, just in case.

As soon as Lu Bu's cavalry was dispatched, he saw a 'torrent of war horses' coming from the north and quickly rushed towards Yuan Shao's Jizhou army.

Feng Ji, the strategist under Yuan Shao, saw this group of cavalry coming from the north, and hurriedly said to Yuan Shao: "Lord, quickly Mingjin and collect the troops!" and ordered General Lü Bu to lead the cavalry to hurry up and stop these cavalry.

Don't let them come, or we'll be wiped out." ”

Guo Tu is different from Feng Ji's loyal people, hearing Feng Ji's eager speech, Guo Tu thought about it briefly and said unconvinced: "What Yuan Tu said is too serious."

I think this group of cavalry is only 15,000 at most, and with the 50,000 brave soldiers of my Jizhou army, they will definitely be able to come and go.

With the bravery of General Lu Bu, General Yan Liang and General Wen Chou, as long as they find the main general of the other party, they can take down their heads in less than a quarter of an hour.

There are no soldiers, but a bunch of scattered sand.

I think we should congratulate our lord now, suddenly getting so many war horses, and in a few months, we will have at least 20,000 cavalry.

This group of cavalry is obviously not here to sneak attack, but to send horses. ”

After listening to Guo Tu's words, Feng Ji was anxious, and said to Yuan Shao anxiously: "What the public said is too simple, this is war, not child's play." ”

Guo Tu immediately retorted: "As a person in his thirties, he is still so excited to speak, how can he be a strategist?" ”

Yuan Shao looked at the two people arguing with each other, and the mistake of hesitation was committed again, feeling that what Feng Ji said seemed to make some sense, but what Guo Tu said was also good. Who's the best to listen to?

At this time, Lu Bu led the cavalry, and when he saw the cavalry from the north attacking, he did not kill Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Army, but waited for a new order in the same place.
