Outside the Yicheng in Youzhou, inside Yuan Shaoshuai's tent.

"What? Have soldiers and horses broken through? Yuan Shao looked at Jiang Qi, who came to report, and said dissatisfiedly: "Yuan's army surrounded Yicheng like an iron bucket, and you can still make people break through and pass it out, wouldn't it make others laugh at me?" It really deserves to be punished! ”

Yuan General Jiang Qi hurriedly knelt on one knee and said: "General, it's not that the last general and others are not doing their best, it's just that Gongsun Zhan's soldiers and horses who broke through this time are almost all the white horses in his department, and they are all desperate to the death......

"That's it!"

Yuan Shao stretched out his hand impatiently and said, "Quickly go and order all battalions, defend carefully, and don't make any more mistakes." ”

"No, no!"

Jiang Qi was relieved and hurriedly took the order.

Yuan Shao turned his head to look at the frustrated professor who had been listening quietly beside him, and said, "Bai Ma Yi broke through from the whole army, so do you see that Gongsun Zhan personally led his troops to break through?" ”

He shook his head affirmatively and said: "Gongsun Zhan has a bold appearance, but in fact he is narrow, and the land of Youzhou is the territory he has obtained by risking the disapproval of the world, and he will definitely not give up until he dies...... As I expected, it should be Gongsun Zhan who sent someone to break through and ask for help. ”

"Break out for help?"

Yuan Shao closed his eyes and thought for a long time, and said, "Reasonable!" Presumably, Gongsun saw that the situation was in danger and sent someone to Montenegro to find Zhang Yan for help! ”

Fu Zhu said with a smile: "This is the best, but it saves us the effort of going back and sending troops to kill the Montenegrin army, the so-called encirclement and reinforcement, that's it." ”

While the two were talking, a guard hurried outside the tent and asked to see Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao let him in, and when he was young, he saw a guard with a letter hurrying into the tent and presenting a slip to Yuan Shao.

"General, this is a secret report sent by the third prince in Linzi City."

"Oh? Show me! Yuan Shao beckoned to the guard, and when he saw this, he strolled away, not looking at the contents of the slip.

He is different from Yuan Shao's subordinates, Xiao Ji, Guo Tu and others, and he never participates in the miscellaneous things between these sons.

Yuan Shao read Yuan Shang's secret report, and his face changed suddenly.

"Ponder this, this bastard! He actually dared to disobey my military order and send troops to Langya Country privately! ”

I didn't take it too seriously, and I was shocked when I heard it.

"The eldest prince sent troops to Langya State? Isn't this just going to pick up the potter's beard? But it's not good! ”

Yuan Shao threw Jian Mu on the ground fiercely, and said angrily: "Xianfu came to the letter, he and Xiao Ji repeatedly dissuaded him to no avail, Xiansi insisted on sending troops, so he could only write a secret letter to me and let me give an order to stop it!" ”

Frustrated with emotion: "The land of Qingzhou is very close to Langya Country, and if you give an order to the eldest prince from this place now, I'm afraid it's too late." ”

Yuan Shao's face was very unkind: "This rebel!" Dare to act so rashly, it seems that after taking Qingzhou, he doesn't know how many catties and taels he weighs...... Alas, this son is not a big deal. ”

For such a sensitive topic, Fu Zhu didn't say anything, he just said cautiously: "You still need to send soldiers and horses to respond." ”

……

Northeast of Pengcheng, Lanling County.

The soldiers and horses brought out by the potters from Pengcheng are all stationed here at this moment.

According to the informant, Yuan Tan's Qingzhou soldiers and horses have all been stationed on the Yishui River in Langya, and occupy the county of Yishui County in the surrounding area.

"After Yuan Tan entered the Langya Kingdom, he only occupied one county?"

The potter looked at the map and said slowly: "It seems that this is his way to transport grain and grass, but I don't understand, since the soldiers and horses have entered the Langya country, why don't they wantonly occupy the state and county and control the dangers in the county, but only Chen Bing Yishui?" What an idea to fight. ”

Guo Jia stood behind the potter and said with a smile: "Actually, this matter is easy to explain. ”

"Brother Fengxiao, try to say it?"

Guo Jia touched the bridge of his straight nose, and said a little helplessly: "Yuan Tan is here in Langya Country, it seems that Zhibuzhou County, but in people!" ”

"People? Who? ”

Guo Jia pointed at the potter: "You, be the prince of the court!" Taiping Gongzi too! ”

"Me? What is he looking for of me? ”

"What else can be done? Beat you up! ”

"Why?"

Guo Jiale said: "Just because you are too popular among your peers!" is already a young talented martial artist who has overwhelmed my big man. ”

The potter thought about it carefully......

It seems to be really, from Sun Ce to Cao Ang, and now to this Yuan Tan, it seems that they do have the meaning of competing with themselves.

Looking at the potter's sudden realization, Guo Jia smiled and said, "What does the prince of Taiping think?" ”

The potter shook his hair very coquettishly, and showed a proud look on his face, and said: "It is a mediocre talent to be able to grind a real iron man by the sky, and not to be envied by others." ”

Guo Jia sighed.

Whether you are mediocre or not, Guo doesn't know, but your cheeky strength is indeed rare in the world.

The potter walked back and forth in the tent, and said as he walked: "According to this situation, Yuan Tan is not convinced by me this time, and wants to separate himself from me?" ”

Guo Jia nodded and said, "I guess that's what it means." ”

The potter smiled and said: "In this case, then I only need to display the soldiers and horses in a proper place, if Yuan Tan really came with me as the target this time, then he will not hold it for too long, sooner or later he will take the initiative to come to the door, and then I just need to wait for him to come to the door." ”

Speaking of this, the potter spread his hand lightly and said, "I feel that this battle doesn't seem to be difficult." ”

Guo Jia said with a smile: "Although the generals under Yuan Tan are also quite brave, they are really not a concern compared to our army, but I heard that Zhang He and his newly trained Euphorbia Battalion are currently under the command of Yuan Tan. ”

"Zhang He? Euphorbia? ”

The potter pondered suspiciously, according to common sense, shouldn't heavy soldiers like Zhang He or Euphorbia be in the Chinese army array under Yuan Shao's command? Besides, with Zhang He's status in the army, it should not be much lower than Yuan Tan, how could he be directly sent to Yuan Tan's Qingzhou army?

Unless there are any special people in Yuan Tan's military array.

……

The pottery merchant moved his troops and horses north, so that all the 30,000 soldiers who went with him this time were stationed on the edge of Fei County in Yinan.

The county seat of Fei County is not entirely surrounded by city walls, and there is a section of terrain in the northwest direction that is more abrupt because of a mountain range that blocks it.

The county seat is leaning on the mountain, the mountains are intricate, and the successive county commanders have more or less carried out some repairs here, which can be regarded as building a natural barrier.

After the potter understood Yuan Tan's intentions, he was not in a hurry, he just choked his throat and waited quietly.

Since Yuan Tan's goal is himself, he will definitely send troops to attack sooner or later.

Things were indeed as expected by the potters, and on the evening of the fifth day, a vanguard army led by Wu Yao, a partial general under Yuan Tan, was galloping along the road of the western front towards Fei County.

In fact, according to Wu Yao's original intention, he was not in favor of sending troops this time, including Yuan Shang and Xiao Ji, who were in charge of the army, but Yuan Tan, as the commander-in-chief, insisted on sending troops, and Wu Yao had no choice but to obey the general's order.

Wu Yao was born as a martial artist in Bingzhou, even if this move was extremely risky, he also warned himself that he must not have any greed for life and fear of death.

Right now, he was leading the vanguard army in the front, quietly crossing the road from the northwest of the county.

The mountains next to the county seat stretch continuously, and the roads are not rugged and harsh, but they are winding enough.

On the edge of Shanli, Tao generals Zang Ba and Li Tong led their troops coldly as a forward army led by Wu Yao crossed the mountain range.

"Let them go!"

For mountain battles, Zang Ba is naturally very experienced: "Most of the soldiers and horses are in the back, this one is purely to come out to explore the way, and we have to bring in all the behind, so that none of them can get away tonight." ”
