The situation in Xuzhou changed again, and the Baili forces suddenly moved north, and the most affected should be Lu Bu.

However, Bai Li Yan still left some manpower - Weiyun's division did not follow the twelve sages and elders with him.

Although Yan Xue, Xing Zhao, and Xuan Ying were also afraid of the Twelve Virtuous Elders, they finally succeeded in staying.

The reason they gave was that now that the direct Ye Shuai was no longer there, they were also a little disheartened, and according to Ye Feng's regulations, they could choose to become ordinary people incognito.

The Twelve Sages didn't bother them too much, but just took back all the Night Blade tokens of the three of them and their subordinates, and strictly ordered them not to participate in anything related to Night Blade.

This is just what can be seen on the surface, but in fact, Bai Li Yan has secretly explained everything.

Going north this time may not be a good thing.

Such a powerful Yefeng force can avoid everyone's eyes, and there must be someone behind it.

Anyway, there is no way back now, so it's better to simply find out.

It's just that the Xuzhou Intelligence Network has just been operated, and it must not be given up, and with Lu Bu's side, it can't be cut off all at once.

Therefore, Baili Chang let them stay in this way.

For them, such concealment is not alarming, and it is much safer.

But for Lu Bu, at least on the surface, his strength has weakened a lot all of a sudden.

Because now his other unstable force is entangled with Cao Cao's troops.

……

Originally, according to the plan, Yang Feng led the army from Xuzhou to cut off the retreat of Xiahou Yuan, Yu Ban, Nie Hong and others, and then Qiao Rui took advantage of the enemy's panic to attack head-on, and he would definitely be able to capture the pass in one fell swoop.

However, now neither Yang Feng nor Qiao Rui can take a step forward.

The reason for this situation is actually just the manager's strength.

Yang Feng hurried over, just to surprise Xiahou Yuan, so he sent capable messengers to cross the steep cliff wall without fear of danger and pass the plan to Qiao Rui.

But when Qiao Rui learned that it was Yang Feng who came to support on the other side, she was suddenly a little annoyed in her heart.

Although this person is here to help his side now, he has also betrayed Yuan Shu after all.

The bearing of the Lord will be passed on to his subordinates.

Yuan Shu's character itself is arrogant, arrogant and narrow-minded, and there are almost few people who can be generals under him, and those whose hearts are not affected by it are probably only simple people like Ji Ling.

This bridge is the opposite.

His personality and Yuan Shu's personality should be relatively close, so even if he agreed to Yang Feng's plan with a smile on the surface, in his heart, he had cursed him a thousand times.

Then the result can naturally be imagined, when Yang Feng attacked Xiahou Yuan's camp as agreed, Qiao Rui just sat in the camp and drank tea.

Not to mention the difference between the commander and the wise and brave, Yang Feng's subordinates alone are already much worse than Cao Cao's army.

In the end, Yang Fengjun lost nearly half of his men, and Qiao Rui missed a good chance to win.

Realizing this, Qiao Rui finally put aside his narrow view and was ready to seriously cooperate with Yang Feng to defeat the enemy army, but he had no chance.

Xiahou Yuan gave Yu Ban some soldiers and horses, and formed a confrontation with Yang Fengjun, and the news could no longer be transmitted.

The saddest thing is that the two armies of Yang Feng and Qiao Rui, due to the terrain, were unable to cut off Xiahou Yuan's supply line.

In desperation, Qiao Rui had no choice but to report the battle situation to Yuan Shu.

Of course, what he got was an angry rebuke.

However, this scolding was not in vain, because Yuan Shu finally gave him more troops.

The southern battlefield, which has been stalemate for a long time, is in crisis again.

————————————————

The appearance of the twelve virtuous elders attracted everyone's attention, except for him.

Hebei overlord, Yuan Benchu.

The victory on the battlefield in the north did not make him feel the slightest joy, looking at the soldiers and horses of Gongsun Zhan, who had been defeated again, his face was as pale as iron, thoughtful.

"Why is it that the lord is victorious and not happy?" Tian Feng, who was waiting beside him, noticed something strange and asked.

"Yuan Hao, do you say that people are really insatiable in this life?"

"What do you mean by that?"

"His grandson Zhan sits in Youzhou, but he is still not satisfied, and he has to fight with me, why?"

"Hehe, the lord laughed. Let's ask, if the lord unifies the land of Hebei, will it stop? ”

Yuan Shao turned his head and looked at Tian Feng expressionlessly.

Tian Feng responded with a smile: "The lord is the male lord, and so is the grandson Zhan." But the world of the Han Dynasty can't accommodate these many heroes. If you have great ambitions, you will look at Kyushu, and how can you rest in peace? ”

"Isn't it the right time to be born?"

"For Gongsun Zhan, this is indeed the case, he was born in this world by mistake, but he met a male lord like the lord."

"To be honest, Yuan Hao, I really don't want to fight with him."

"The world is impermanent, and it is always difficult to achieve the desired situation. In troubled times, there are some stubborn people who cannot be changed. ”

"Yes......" Hearing this, Yuan Shao seemed to think of something else.

"Lord...... But thinking about Yefeng? Of course, Tian Feng knew what Yuan Shao was thinking.

"The stubbornness of those people is far better than that of this grandson in front of him."

"Lord, in fact, I have always wanted to ask, why did you want to form an alliance with those twelve sages."

"Do you know who he is with his men now?"

"Naturally, those are all prisoners from Hebei and Hebei counties."

"Hehe, do you know how many people I gave him at the beginning?"

"I don't know."

"A thousand, all death row inmates."

"How?" Tian Feng was really a little surprised, because what he knew was that the 20,000 horses were originally prisoners, and they were handed over by Yuan Shao to the twelve sages for training.

In fact, there are really only 1,000 death row prisoners, and the rest are all bandits who gather in the mountains and forests.

I don't know what method these twelve sages used, first trained the 1,000 death row prisoners in extraordinary martial arts, and then relied on them to continuously suppress the mountain bandits from all over the country, and gradually formed such a huge team.

This is also one of the transactions between the Twelve Sages and Yuan Shao - the Twelve Sages help Yuan Shao exterminate the bandits, and Yuan Shao is responsible for supplying them with the weapons and baggage.

Yuan Shao originally only thought that these twelve sages always wanted to organize a private army, and he agreed out of the idea of helping him to quell the bandits by the way, but it was not until one time that the twelve sages ordered someone to hand over the staffing and the list of materials needed to Yuan Shao, that he really realized the seriousness of the matter.

The 1,000 condemned prisoners who did all kinds of evil have now become the commanders of the 20,000 people, and this team is clearly organized, and it doesn't look like a foolish crowd at all.

And what the Twelve Sages finally presented in front of Yuan Shao was a well-organized army that could not be compared with any of the soldiers and horses under his command.

"What really scares me is not his combat power, but his people." Yuan Shao sighed.

Tian Feng didn't reply again, he knew that although Yuan Shao didn't say it, he was actually a little ashamed.

At least today, the only one who can make the rebels obey their orders and build an army is Cao Cao.
