As soon as the sun rose the next day, Zhang Liang returned to his base camp with his 100,000 elites.

When he saw that the barracks had been solemn and neat when he left, there was nothing left of it that had been burned by a fire, and the ground was full of corpses.

Except for a very small part of Yuan Shao's army, the vast majority were his Zhang Liang's subordinates.

He saw that none of the dead were wearing armor.

In the face of the wolf-like offensive of the Yuan family's army, it was impossible to produce effective resistance at all.

Even the grain that he had stored here was burned by the fire.

He said before that his soldiers were not tired, but it was nothing more than self-deception.

His soldiers did not rest all night, and now they have returned from Xishan, so to speak, without a drop of water.

If they are just fooled, it is nothing to wait for a night in Xishanbai, and it is okay to replenish food when they come back.

But now, apart from the little dry food they brought with them at night, there was nothing to eat.

Zhang Liang is clear: people are iron, rice is steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry and panic.

If he let his subordinates attack Jizhou now, it can be said to be the most unwise decision.

So he let his men rest in place and sent a team of 100 people to the nearby city to collect food.

And in the center of the army, there were the twenty catapults that Zhang Liang had transferred from other places.

Now these catapults, but his baby bumps, will no longer be destroyed.

As for the stones needed by the catapult, Zhang Liang asked people to collect the stones thrown by Yuan Shao and prepare to return them to Yuan Shao.

Zhang Liang planned not to attack for the time being, and waited until the food was delivered and his subordinates were fed, and then made plans.

At this moment, the scout sent by Zhang Liang came back and saw several pigeons flying out of Jizhou City to transmit information.

They all flew to different places, and one of them was flying over Zhang Liang's head, and Zhang Liang directly ordered someone to knock it down.

Zhang Liang took out the note on the pigeon, and his face turned blue after reading it.

Zhang Liang originally thought that it was the news that Yuan Shao was asking for help from other princes, but what he wrote was completely different from what he thought.

The note read, "Yesterday, the thief army attacked me and was beheaded by me more than 50,000 people, and its elite is completely paper tigers." ”

In just a few words, Zhang Liang's defeat yesterday was revealed.

In the end, he didn't forget to say that the elite troops he led were nothing more than paper tigers with teeth and claws.

Zhang Liang knew that Yuan Shao's move was to undermine the morale of his army;

The second is to boost the morale of other princes.

Let them know that the Yellow Turbans are not terrible, and it will not be difficult to eliminate them.

In Zhang Liang's view, these few words are comparable to 100,000 male soldiers.

Originally, the Han regime was already in turmoil, and the attack of the Yellow Turban Army was overwhelming, which made the resistance of those princes weaker and weaker.

If he can eliminate Yuan Shao again this time, it will be the last straw that crushes the camel.

The world of the Han Dynasty belongs to his Yellow Turban Army.

On the contrary, if he returned from this campaign, it would undoubtedly be a strong agent for the Han regime, and make those princes rise more violently determined to resist.

This means that their Yellow Turban Army will have to pay more casualties, and more time will be able to succeed and complete the mission given to them by Huang Tian.

At the same time, Zhang Liang also knows that this is not without a solution.

As long as he can break through Jizhou with a ferocious offensive today and kill Yuan Shao and his subordinates, then Yuan Shao's method of transmitting battle reports and boosting morale will be useless.

But as time passed, the army sent by Zhang Liang to collect food still did not return, and a trace of uneasiness suddenly rose in his heart.

Sure enough, a Yellow Turban Army rushed from a distance.

said to Zhang Liang, "Rengong, if the big thing is not good, Yuan Shao has already sent people to ambush us on the way to transport grain." While we were looking for food, they didn't attack. On the way back to transport the grain, the line was too long to disperse because of the need to protect the grain, and Yuan Shao's army suddenly attacked. We were caught off guard. ”

"Even if they attack suddenly, won't you be able to defeat them? All of Yuan Shao's main forces are in the city, and the ones sent to ambush, that is, the recruits, are they your opponents? ”

Zhang Liang was confident in his army, believing that even if it was a sneak attack, his army would be able to repel the rabble.

And the Yellow Turban Army who ran back said, "Rengong, the target of those Yuan Jiajun is not us, but food. They wrapped the arrows around strips of cloth, lit fires, and fired rockets directly onto the grain bags, which immediately burst into flames. ”

He said that after completing the mission, the soldiers did not flee, but fought directly with the People's Army.

It's just that their combat effectiveness is low, and the people's army lost more than 30 people, so they wiped out Yuan Shao's army.

But the grain had also been burned, and the captain asked him to come back and ask for instructions, asking if he would continue to collect food?

After Zhang Liang heard this person's report, he knew that it was useless to collect food again, because it would be a waste of time.

If he can't capture Jizhou City today, then what Yuan Shao wrote in his previous letter will play its real role.

"Can't wait any longer."

Zhang Liang asked the soldier to call the rest of the people back and let the big guy eat everything they could eat.

Then after resting for half an hour, he began to reorganize the army.

This time, he put the siege vehicle in front and led the troops to a position 100 meters away from Jizhou and stopped.

And at this moment, Xue Yun and the others were already waiting for them on the city tower.

Xue Yun knew in his heart that now he had nothing to do, and the rest was a real battle.

Relying on his own brother, he used his life to protect the city under his feet.

And Xue Yun saw that Zhang Liang found twenty more catapults, this is the ancient heavy artillery, and the damage to the city will be devastating.

Zhang Liang shouted under the city, "Yuan Shao, I didn't expect you, as a prince, to dare not confront me head-on, and would only use these indiscriminate methods. ”

Xue Yun said, "Soldiers are not tired of deceit, as long as they can achieve victory, no one will care about the means used by the victor in the whole process." ”

"Hahahaha!" Zhang Liang laughed and said, "You are right, the winner is king, and the loser is the loser." As long as you disappear from this world today, then your previous flying pigeon biography will be meaningless. ”

"Again, if you die here, the blow to the Yellow Turbans will be unimaginable." Xue Yun also threatened.

"Good! Then we don't have to bother talking anymore. ”

After speaking, Zhang Liang pulled out the sword at his waist, pointed to Youzhou City and said, "Go to war!" ”
