"In that case, sooner rather than later! Where is Yan Liang! Yuan Shao heard Xu You's words and said solemnly, under such an emergency situation, Yuan Shao no longer hesitated, but was very decisive.

"The last general!" Although Yan Liang said that the fighting spirit in his heart was not high, but now that Yuan Shao had already called himself, if he didn't show it, then he would be Yuan Shao's subordinate in vain.

"Now when our army is in trouble, I must not cause chaos at home when I lead the army to quell the rebellion! I order you to guard the Qinghe River with tens of thousands of soldiers! Be sure to keep the Youzhou army out of the Qinghe! Yuan Shao said solemnly to Yan Liang, and the battle intent on his body burst out and slowly stirred in the air.

Such a scene is undoubtedly more with Yan Liang's appetite, I saw Yan Liang walk quickly in front of Yuan Shao and kneel on the ground, and said very solemnly: "As long as the last general is not dead, he will not let a Youzhou soldier enter the Qinghe!" ”

"Good!" Yuan Shao looked at Yan Liang, who was kneeling in front of him, and said loudly, "As long as you can stop the Youzhou army for me, then you will be the first general under my Yuan Shao in the future, and you can enjoy wealth and wealth with me Yuan Shao!" ”

"Thank you for your kindness!" After Yan Liang heard Yuan Shao's words, he couldn't help but be shocked, and thanked him in a trembling voice, Yuan Shao would not be able to tell a lie at such a juncture, otherwise no one would stand up to help him if something happened in the future.

"Public rule! The land of Qinghe will be handed over to you, I will leave most of the grain and grass, and I must collect enough money and grain in the shortest possible time! Do what the thief did when necessary! Yuan Shao said slowly to Guo Tu gloomily, although this was very plain, everyone present could feel that the temperature in the air seemed to be a few degrees lower.

"No!" Guo Tu got up silently and said, his face was not very natural, and he felt a little hesitant and disgusted by people who acted like this as long as they were not too insidious.

Yuan Shao nodded slightly, he didn't really want to do such a thing, you must know that such a thing would bring a lot of damage to his reputation, but now that he is about to die, what is the use of guarding these useless reputations?

"Ziyuan, Wen Chouru will wait and prepare, and tomorrow he will gather 30,000 people to march towards the plain!" Yuan Shao said solemnly, "Since I can't afford to provoke that Youzhou, let that traitor Liu Bei bear the wrath of our army for so long!" ”

"No!" Xu You and Wen Chou also came and hurriedly got up and said.....

A few days later, in the Plains Army, an army of tens of thousands continued to pour forward, and all obstacles in the way were trampled on by this army.

"Brother Ziyuan, why do you say that our army has not encountered decent resistance after entering the plain for a long time? On the contrary, there were many county battles and surrendered without fighting! Yuan Shao looked at the corps behind him, which was obviously more bloated than when he went out, and said with some concern.

"Don't worry, my lord, I've already gone to see those cities, the money and grain of the various county governments have been relocated, and even the homes of those rich people have a lot less money and food, it must be Liu Bei's doing!" Xu You said slowly, "Presumably, Liu Bei also knows that the purpose of Youzhou is to want the entire Jizhou, so he first scraped the money and grain to make full preparations for the capture of Qingzhou...."

"Looks like it's time to hurry up! Otherwise, I'm afraid we will only have to face the strong Youzhou army! Yuan Shao looked at the surrounding environment and said with some unhappiness.

"Although the lord said this, our army does not dare to advance easily, and these phenomena may also be deliberately done by Liu Bei to show us! Once we fall into Liu Bei's trap, it will be extremely difficult for us to kill it! Xu You shook his head a little tiredly and said, every step now is walking on the tip of the knife.

Therefore, even a great talent like Xu Yu did not dare to relax in the slightest, paying attention to the surrounding environment almost all the time, and silently calculating his direction and speed in his heart.

Yuan Shao also nodded slightly after hearing this, and then took out a map from his arms, and walked slowly towards the front as he advanced, constantly thinking about something in his mind.

"Report! Report to the Lord! It didn't take long for Yuan Shao to come back to his senses from the map, only to see a scout panting on a war horse saluting Yuan Shao and saying, "Back to the lord, there is a gorge more than 20 miles ahead!" Our scouts went to investigate and still haven't returned! ”

"Oh?" Yuan Shao frowned slightly after hearing the scout's words, and looked at Xu Yu beside him thoughtfully, "Since our army scout has not returned yet!" And how do you know? ”

"It's because of what the military advisor said, the military advisor said that when you encounter a place that is easy to be ambushed such as a gorge, you should leave one person to wait in the distance, and if no one comes back at the specified time, you can return to the army to report!" After hearing Yuan Shao's words, the scout hurriedly said, for fear that Yuan Shao would mistakenly think that he was a deserter or a spy planted by Liu Bei in Yuan Shao's army.

"Ziyuan?" Yuan Shao looked at Xu Yu beside him with some doubts, and finally turned his head to the soldier and said, "In this case, you will go to the mouth of the gorge first, and report to me as soon as there is any news!" ”

"No!" The scout couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after hearing Yuan Shao's voice, since Yuan Shao said this, he must not have doubted himself, and after the scout finished speaking, he slapped his horse and ran towards the place where he had just come.

"Ziyuan, did you issue such an order?" Yuan Shao asked with some curiosity, there seemed to be no memory of this paragraph in Yuan Shao's impression.

"Lord Fang is concentrating on the map, I'm afraid I haven't heard it!" Xu You nodded slightly and said, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, now he is not thinking about whether the scout is lying, but how the gorge himself and the others should pass.

"I see, then it seems that there should be an ambush at this gorge!" Yuan Shao said with some concern, "Brother Ziyuan, how can we cross that gorge!" Judging from the map, this gorge is the only way to Leling! ”

Xu You's eyes narrowed slightly, and his mind kept spinning as fast as an engine, so that Xu You's face actually became a little ruddy.

"I have a plan to break the enemy's army! However, I am afraid that this plan will make the lord take risks! I don't know if the lord is willing to do it? Xu You said lightly, and a fine light couldn't help but appear in his eyes......

Above that canyon

, An army of more than 10,000 people is lying in the grass hiding their figures, as long as a few people are carefully sticking out their heads to observe the surrounding situation.

Liu Bei looked at the scorching sun and couldn't help wiping the sweat on his head, "Brother Zhengnan? Why hasn't Yuan Shao arrived yet! Could it be that the scouts didn't go back to report it, so they knew that we were ambushing here? ”

The judge on the side looked at the scenery in the distance and said without looking back, "Don't worry, my lord, this is the only way to Leling, as long as Yuan Shao wants to take Qingzhou, he will inevitably occupy Leling in the plains, otherwise he can only make a foothold in Qingzhou, I believe Yuan Shao will not give up this opportunity." ”

After hearing the words of the match, Liu Bei's spirit was shocked, and the scorching sun, which he had originally hated, seemed to become a little cooler, "If I were Yuan Shao, I would definitely come and try it....."

"I said, big brother, do you want me to bring someone to help that kid! Can those few thousand people really stop Yuan Shao's tens of thousands of troops? Xu Chu, who was following Liu Bei, spit out the dog's tail grass that had been in his mouth for a long time, and said with some concern.

"Second brother Hugh has to say more, this person is recommended by the military advisor, and he must be a person with great ability! How can you think about it with the hearts of ordinary people! Liu Bei hurriedly said after hearing Xu Chu's words, and then glanced at the trial unintentionally, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after seeing that the expression of the trial had not changed.

Although Liu Bei himself was also very worried about the arrogant person in his heart, but when he thought that it was recommended by the judge, and even asked him to visit him in person, although he was not interested in the big man, but the judge was a real talent!

As long as you can make the judge comfortable and help yourself with all your might, even if you invite five or six such arrogant people, what's the matter? Once the judges feel discouraged, it is really over.

"Lord, please rest assured! Fan Xu was also a first-order butcher when he didn't meet Han Gaozu, and Han Xin was even a first-class citizen! But they were all discovered and appointed by Han Gaozu one by one, except that Han Gaozu would employ people, that is, they were all able to grasp the turning point of the battle, and now that the lord gave him the opportunity to fight this battle, he will naturally show his ability! The judge said lightly, and the expression on his face did not change in the slightest.

It's as if he didn't say anything, or that whatever things are in his expectation, and there is no chance of escape.

"I am convinced, but that man's eyes grow to the sky, which is really unpleasant, every time I see his face, I want to beat him!" Xu Chu pursed his lips and said disdainfully, and touched his fist as he spoke, as if he couldn't help but want to do it.

"General Xu, don't worry, your senses for him will naturally change after this battle..."The judge still said very indifferently.

Just when Liu Bei and the others were constantly discussing, suddenly there was a roaring sound on the ground, and a burst of smoke and dust continued to roll in the distance, and this smoke and dust became louder and louder with the roaring sound, and finally even gave birth to a sand city storm.

Liu Bei hurriedly straightened up, looked at the getting bigger and bigger smoke, his eyes narrowed slightly, and said lightly, "It's coming..."
