The middle-aged man, dressed in a green shirt and cloth, sat cross-legged on the steps in front of the door, looking at the drizzling rain outside in a slightly daze.

This middle-aged man was Liu Bei, after losing Xuzhou, he fled with the remnants of the army, and finally came to Jingzhou to join Liu Biao at the suggestion of Chen Gong.

Historically, Liu Bei took refuge in Yuan Shao and hoped to rely on Yuan Shao's forces to fight against Cao Cao. However, in today's time and space, Yuan Shao claimed to be a duke, which greatly reduced the dignity of the Han family and became the public anger of the world.

In the past, Liu Bei was defeated, Liu Bei was not only separated from his second brother, but also unfortunately separated from Zhang Fei in the process of fleeing, and finally only took Chen Gong and a few other people to Jingzhou Liu Biao in great despair and begged him to be contained.

Liu Biao was still quite happy about Liu Bei's arrival. Although Cao Cao is dealing with Yuan Shao in the north and has no time to look south, Sun Jian in Jiangdong is eyeing Jingzhou. Sun Jian led his army to conquer Jiangxia last year, and the surrounding areas of Jiangxia such as Xiakou, Hanyang, and Wulin also fell into his hands, but in the face of such achievements, Sun Jian was still not satisfied, and he was still sharpening his troops all day long, and he could attack at any time.

Now that Liu Bei is here, it is good to let him play some role in the battle against Sun Jian.

Although Guan Yu and Zhang Fei did not follow Liu Bei over, Liu Biao felt a little sorry, but Liu Bei's own combat ability is not weak, and there are wise men like Chen Gong with him, if he is allowed to confront Sun Jian, he can also buy some opportunities for Liu Biao in Xiangyang.

So Liu Biao ordered Liu Bei to lead 10,000 troops to be stationed in Chuyang to guard against Sun Jian's invasion.

If the army sets off from Jiangxia and catches up faster, it is estimated that it will be able to reach the city of Chuyang in three days. Liu Bei himself also knew that Liu Biao was using himself as a pawn. But who calls himself to send people under the fence, what can he do?

Hmph, your Liu Jingsheng has such bad intentions, if you really force me to be anxious, it's a big deal that when Sun Jian advances westward, I will turn against him and counterattack Jingzhou for him!

Although Liu Bei and Liu Biao are both relatives of the Han family, they really don't have too deep friendship with each other, and at this time, Liu Biao purely regards Liu Bei as cannon fodder, and Liu Bei naturally can't have no complaints in his heart.

Having said that, Liu Bei and Sun Jian are old acquaintances. As early as the time of the conquest of the Yellow Turban, the two had a one-sided relationship, and then when they attacked Dong, they had a friendship of pursuing together.

If you are really desperate at that time, it may be a good choice to follow Sun Jian.

But is he destined to be unable to get rid of the fate of sending people under the fence in this life, thinking about it, Liu Bei suddenly had a feeling of discouragement, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

I don't know how the second brother and the third brother are now, the second brother alone blocked tens of thousands of Cao troops with hundreds of soldiers and horses, and he must have been martyred a long time ago. The third brother was separated in the chaos and didn't know where he was at this time?

Emotions were flying wildly, Liu Bei suddenly set his eyes on the north, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao should start a war, I don't know how the situation in the world will change after this battle.

————————————————————————————————

The clouds cover the sun, the wind is howling, and it is a battlefield of slaughter.

The two armies of Yuan and Cao were in Guandu, lined up in a formation and looked at each other from afar.

Yuan Shao gathered an army of 170,000 this time, and the momentum was very huge, and when viewed from a distance, it was like a black vast ocean, boundless.

Hebei soldiers of 300,000 people, but lost 80,000 in the two battles of Baima and Yanjin, and among the remaining more than 200,000 troops, Yuan Shao had to leave at least 50,000 on the border of northern Xinjiang to prevent the northern Xianbei, Xiongnu and other barbarians and Gongsun Du of Liaodong from making any changes. Therefore, this 170,000 army is already the largest military force that Yuan Shao can mobilize, and it can be said that it is pouring out.

On Cao Cao's side, although there are not a few troops that can be provided, there are Ma Teng in the west, Liu Biao and Sun Jian in the south, and it is impossible for him to withdraw all the defensive forces, so the number of troops transferred to the front line of Guandu is 70,000.

70,000 against 170,000, the situation is extremely dangerous. What's more, Yuan Shao personally went out to fight, which was not as easy as Yan Liang and Wen Chou, and Cao Cao was a little careless, and he might fall into a situation from which he could not recover.

The two sides have long been prepared, and at this time, they are gearing up, and the big battle is about to break out.

"Mengde, don't come unharmed. Today, the lone army is here, why don't you surrender early, and you won't lose the position of the marquis. Before the war began, the commanders of the two sides still had to have a routine fight, and I saw Yuan Shao take the lead and said to Cao Cao.

"Originally, this was wrong, and I sent troops this time, and the person I served was the edict of the Son of Heaven. Today I inherited the emperor's order to levy, and if you don't get off the horse and surrender, what do you want? Cao Cao was naturally not to be outdone, and his lips and tongue fought back.

When Yuan Shao heard this, his face was gloomy, this Cao Cao was a son of heaven and an emperor's order, and he was stubbornly occupying the name of righteousness, which made him really panic in his heart.

Knowing this, he should have gone to Luoyang before Cao Cao and controlled the Son of Heaven in his own hands. But now, it's too late to regret it!

"The lone army is several times larger than you, this is a battle that must be won, why bother to resist stubbornly and cost the lives of the soldiers?"

"A few days ago, the army led by Yan Liang and Wen Chou was no more than our army, and today they care about their safety?"

Scolding before this battle is also a technical job, and a slight poor answer may cause a morale impact.

"Chun Yuqiong, lead your troops to attack!" Yuan Shao saw that he didn't have much upper hand in his tongue, so he gave the order to attack the general Chun Yuqiong.

When the two armies are in battle, they may not immediately put all their forces into battle, but sometimes the two sides first fight one by one, and with the passage of time, more and more troops will be able to enter the battlefield, which will gradually form a huge fierce battle.

However, although Yuan Shao only sent Chun Yuqiong to attack first, his army had 20,000 people, and his troops alone were worth one-third of Cao's army.

"Zilong goes to the enemy." Cao Cao also gave instructions and ordered Zhao Yun to go to fight against Chun Yuqiong.

Zhao Yun received the order and took his men and horses out of battle.

The number of Zhao Yun's department is 8,000 people, and only forty percent of Chun Yuqiong's department. Although it is disadvantageous to attack more with less, there is no way to do it, who said that the total number of Cao Jun is much less than that of Yuan Jun? If you send a similar number of men and horses to fight with Chun Yuqiong's troops now, what should you do when Yuan's army presses it on a large scale?

Chun Yuqiong obviously didn't pay attention to the army in front of him, no matter what, the number was too small. Although his own troops are not elite divisions, they are by no means general, and it is simply nonsense to try to crush his own troops with a force of several thousand men.

"The head of the enemy army is the military merit of your class!" Chun Yuqiong's spear was raised high and shouted loudly.

I have to say that Chun Yuqiong's voice is extremely good, at least the soldiers under his command are all high-spirited at this time, and they are bent on fighting bravely with the intention of making meritorious contributions.

Facing the army that was about to be killed, Zhao Yun's face remained unchanged, still calm and resolute. It's just that in his eyes, there is a few points of gloomy and fierce killing intent.
