"Who else could there be if it wasn't Cao Cao? To the south is Dongjun, and only Cao Cao's troops can attack us north. Wen Chou said indignantly:

"Lord, transfer 10,000 horses to me, I will fight them off and cut down all Cao Cao's men!"

"Wait! Lord, this matter is a little strange, it stands to reason that Cao Cao's army followed Xu Ding to Luoyang to crusade against Dong Zhuo, even if his large army returned from Luoyang, it was impossible to return to Dongjun so quickly at this time, and only turned back to Chenliu County. Feng Ji analyzed:

"I heard that the army that went north to attack Neihuang was followed by a warship, the warship was huge, far from being comparable to the ordinary hull, everyone in the world knew that the largest ship in the Han Dynasty was in Qingzhou, in the hands of Xu Ding!"

Yuan Shao frowned slightly, and his face was gloomy: "You mean, this is Xu Ding's centaurs?" ”

"Eight or nine is not far from ten!" Feng Ji replied.

Yuan Shao said: "Didn't Xu Ding go to Luoyang with Cao Cao to crusade against Dong Zhuo?" He is righteous and awe-inspiring to crusade against Dong Zhuo, how could he give up halfway and turn around to attack my Wei County? ”

This is what Yuan Shao wondered, according to Xu Ding's character of being anxious for justice and righteousness, this guy is known as an army of 400,000, and he will not come back if he does not break through the pass.

And he didn't provoke Xu Ding recently, and he didn't even dare to send assassins, because the relatives of his subordinates were still in Xu Ding's hands, and the black methods provoked Xu Ding, maybe Xu Ding retaliated, and the consequences were not something he could bear.

"The lord may have promised to fight against Dong Zhuo with Cao Cao is a little strange, the two of them have less than 400,000 soldiers and horses, and it is impossible for all the staff to attack Guanzhong at this time, most of them are fraudulent." Xun Kan also agreed with Feng Ji to stand up and say:

"Xu Ding has a naval army, and with the help of Daodong County, it is entirely possible to take the opportunity to cross Yanzhou, enter our Wei County, and even attack Yecheng again!"

Yecheng is a thorn in Yuan Shao's life, and it is the biggest shame in his life.

He would never allow anything like this to happen again.

couldn't help but have frost on his face, and his tone became cold: "Hmph! If he wants to attack my Yecheng again, he dreams. ”

As soon as he slapped the table, Yuan Shao immediately ordered: "Xun Kan listens to the order and orders you to be the military advisor, Yan Liang listens to the order, orders you to be the commander, and leads 5,000 horsemen to the east to intercept the enemy army, Jiang Qi, Meng Dai, Wang Zhao, Cen Bi, and Peng An order you to bring 3,000 foot soldiers each to accompany you to the east to listen to Yan Liang's dispatch." ”

"It's the lord!" And the people came out and sang the promise to receive the commandment.

Wen Chou saw that Yuan Shao didn't use himself, and he felt a little surprised, but the coach was his good buddy, and Yan Liang didn't make a fuss.

The seven people left, Yuan Shao stared at the map and looked at it, Feng Ji said: "The lord is worried that Xu Dingsheng is attacking the west, and the real purpose is Zhang Yan?" ”

Yuan Shao said worriedly: "Yes, Xu Ding is unpredictable with soldiers, the Donglai army that attacked my Wei County probably won't have him, he has always had the intention of befriending the Yellow Turban thieves, this Montenegrin army can't have practiced with him, I suspect that he came to pick up the Montenegrin army to flee under the banner of attacking Dong Zhuo." ”

Yuan Shao is not stupid, especially in times of adversity, he is exceptionally calm and his thinking is extremely clear.

Thinking about it from another perspective, he is Xu Ding, and he will not send the real main force to fight Wei County, but will go straight to Lin Shu City to rescue Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan has so many young and strong men, and it is a big tonic pill, which can quickly expand the military strength and enrich the local people.

In the final analysis, the war is about the population, money and food, without the population, everything is not to be discussed, and no prince's power relies on a few fierce generals to defeat the world.

"The lord is worried, Xu Ding This person has always been plotted and decided, now that I think about it, I and Cao Cao joined forces with 400,000 troops to fight against Dong Zhuo, how ridiculous it is, if something goes wrong, he must be a demon, he must be here to pick up the Black Mountain Army, otherwise there is no need to use a huge naval ship." It was also at this time that Feng Ji understood Xu Ding's intentions, so he suggested:

"Fortunately, the lord only sent 20,000 horses to leave, the lord we must be careful to guard against the movement of the Zhanshui River, and we need to focus General Zhang He's troops and horses on the south."

Yuan Shao nodded, and his eyes shot with essence: "That's right, Jun Yi's soldiers and horses are indeed to be placed in the south, Wen Chou and I are also going to put him in the west, and Gao Lan and I will be placed in the east of the lower reaches of the Zhanshui River. ”

Soon the news confirmed the news of the arrival of Xu Ding's army.

Because Chaoge City was taken by the Donglai army, Bai Huan died in battle.

Yuan Shao and Feng Ji were even more sure that Xu Ding was in the Donglai army on the road to Chaoge City, so the pocket array arranged was more elaborate and perfect, waiting for Xu Ding to rush in.

It's just that for five days, except for the warships of the Donglai Navy swimming in the Qishui River and the Zhanshui River, they did not find the intention of Xu Ding's army crossing the river to help Zhang Yan relieve the siege.

"What's the matter, could it be that Xu Ding is not in Chaoge?" After waiting for five days in a row, Yuan Shao was a little skeptical about his opinion.

Feng Ji said: "It shouldn't be possible, Xu Ding must be in Chaoge, he must be waiting for us to relax before suddenly crossing the river to kill, the lord must not relax his vigilance, treat Xu Ding with 100% patience, Xu Ding This person is good at catching fighters, and he must not let him find an opportunity." ”

Yuan Shao was right to think about it, so he continued to give orders, so that Zhang He, Gao Lan, Wen Chou and others continued to star.

So what is Xu Ding doing in the past five days?

In fact, Feng Ji guessed half right, Xu Ding did have the intention of paralyzing Yuan Shao, and was ready to hold on to him and find an opportunity to kill across the river.

Another reason is that the Montenegrin people of Mount Otani left the mountain and left by boats from the endless crossing of Hanoi.

He needs time, rashly leading the army to cross the river, it is easy for Yuan Shao to see the reality on his side, in case Yuan Shao sends a partial army to intervene, it will disrupt the plan to receive the people of Montenegro.

The other one is not very comfortable with publicity, and he needs to have enough soldiers and horses to deter him.

So temporarily abandon crossing the river to fight with Yuan's army.

Of course, there is another reason for this, that is, to stay up with Zhang Yan, the news was passed to Zhang Yan of Lin Xicheng anyway, but with Zhang Yan's rebelliousness, he must be allowed to grind him well.

The rescue was too fast, and Zhang Yan and his subordinates may not be grateful.

Let them suffer for a while, which is more conducive to acceptance.

And so it went for another five days!

Zhang Yan in Lin Xicheng is living like a year, and Yuan Shao outside the city is becoming more and more anxious.

It's been ten days, and for ten whole days, I haven't seen Xu Ding cross the river to relieve the siege, which makes him more and more suspicious.

And the news from Wei County in the east was not satisfactory.

Yan Liang and the others were chasing Xu Huang, who was talking nonsense in the south of Wei County, and was constantly flowing.

Xu Huang's two thousand left cavalry guards rarely stopped, almost fought and left, and jumped out from time to time to take a bite, even if it was also cavalry, the number of people was superior, and Yan Liang's cavalry also suffered a lot in Xu Huang's hands.

It was really Xu Huang's cavalry that was too well-equipped, fully equipped with crossbows, and often left after the battle as soon as they fought, and Yan Liang couldn't catch up if he wanted to.

"Damn! Promise this scoundrel! "The biggest headache for Yuan Shao is not Xu Huang's left cavalry guard, but Xu Ding's mobilization of the people in the south of Wei County to leave and relocate the people under his rule, this guy is fooling again.

So this made Yuan Shao angry, and it became more and more difficult to control and judge Xu Ding's combat intentions.

In the face of such a talented Xu Ding, Feng Ji could only show a wry smile, but suddenly his eyes flashed, and he said to Yuan Shao: "My lord, I have a way to force Xu Ding to show up and lure him to send troops to cross the river!" ”

Yuan Shao said: "Do you have any good ideas, come quickly!" ”

Feng Ji came over and said softly: "Lord, we are so ......"
