Although Sun and Yuan had been fighting for many years, and the Sun clan clearly had the upper hand, Yuan Shao and his subordinates did not think that the Sun father and son would be able to defeat them. The Sun father and son have martial arts and bravery, and Wu will produce elite soldiers, which they all admit, but they do not agree when it comes to how many talents there are under the command of the Sun father and son.

So far, Sun Ce has recruited a handful of celebrities, Zhang Hong is counted as one, currently guarding Nanyang, Zhang Zhao is counted as one, and now he is Runan Taishou, in addition, there are no real celebrities, and Guo Jia, the prodigal son of Ruying, can become Sun Ce's henchman, which can be seen. Shen You is only in his early twenties, and he has no experience in commanding troops before, but now he has him commanding 20,000 horses, what is the difference between this and nonsense? If it weren't for the fact that no one was available, how could it be.

Yuan Xi and Feng Ji both felt that this was a good opportunity for them to make a name for themselves, and it was also a good opportunity to win back a game in the battle between Sun and Yuan. In the face of the Sun family and his son, they did not have this confidence, and in the face of Shen You, they had no reason not to be confident.

Considering that the reception of Zheng Xuan was delayed for a few days, Tian Kai could break through at any time, and Shen You might have already landed, Feng Ji carefully analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of both sides, and suggested that Yuan Xi set off immediately, and to speed up the march to meet Yan Liang before Shen You arrived.

In terms of distance, the two sides are about the same, but the avenue between Linzi and Fuyong Mountain is smooth and easy to walk, and Shenyou comes from the seaside, which is sparsely populated and the road condition is not good. Yuan Xi had enough livestock to transport the baggage, and more than 2,000 cavalry to cover him, Shen You came from afar, there was not enough animal power available, it was likely to rely on manpower, and the cavalry was also very limited, so it could not be compared with Yuan Xi at all. Comprehensively comparing the strength and types of troops of the two sides, Yuan Xi's advantage is very obvious, and the possibility of being ambushed by Shen You is infinitely close to zero.

Even if Shen You took out the limited personal guard cavalry to attack and disturb him, it could not be the opponent of Yuan Xi's knights, which was tantamount to a sheep in the mouth of a tiger. If Shen You did this, Yuan Xi didn't mind laughing.

The discussion was decided, Yuan Xi immediately went out of the division, sacrificed the master of the soldiers, swore the division, and the army marched to the east.

——

The north of the retort mountain, the east bank of the irrigation water, the cold pavilion.

Chen Zhi led the department to lurk here for five days, living in seclusion every day, and even the essential exercises had to be avoided from people's eyes. Fortunately, there are few people nearby, except for business travel, no one will appear nearby, and the pavilion chief also knows Sun Qian, who is very cooperative, saving a lot of trouble.

But the longer he waited, the more uneasy Chen felt in his heart. He originally thought that Yuan Xi and Yan Liangbu were at most two or three days away, and he only had to wait a day or two to see Yuan Xi, but as a result, he waited for five days, and there was no news at all, which made him feel bottomless. Accidents may occur at any time on the battlefield, but accidents often realize that the judgment is wrong, the original plan will fail, and the lone army goes deep, which also makes him likely to be surrounded by the other party at any time.

Watching the sun set again, and the road to the west was still silent, Chen Zhi sighed secretly. He decided to wait another night, abandon the operation before receiving the news tomorrow morning, return to Fuyong Mountain, and join Shen You. According to the calculation of the distance, Shen You should not be far from Fuyong Mountain, and he may fight Yan Liang at any time. According to the estimation of Yan Liang's troops, Yan Liang has at least five or six hundred cavalry, and without the cavalry led by him to participate in the battle, Shen You will be relatively passive.

In the middle of the night, Chen Zhi forced himself to lie down, even if he couldn't sleep, he had to close his eyes and pretend to sleep. Although the man was lying on the couch, his ears were erect, and as soon as the sound of horses' hooves outside the pavilion sounded, he opened his eyes. The reason why I didn't get up is because the presence of a knight does not mean that there is news, maybe it is just a routine report. At first, his heart would beat fast and he would be excited, and after a few days of torment, he got used to it.

It wasn't until the sound of footsteps passing through the courtyard and going upstairs that Chen Zhi's heartbeat began to accelerate. The scouts were in such a hurry meant that it wasn't a routine briefing, at least something was happening.

Chen Zhi got up and opened the door. The scout arrived at the door, sweating profusely and panting.

"Chen Sima, Yuan Xi camped in the sixty miles west of Fuyong Mountain, with more than 20,000 foot soldiers, nearly 3,000 cavalry, and two or three thousand baggage vehicles, most of which were ox carts, all of which were full, and they looked rich."

Chen Zhi couldn't help laughing, turned around and took the war knife from the bedside, and said as he walked out: "The brothers of the scout camp have worked hard, and if you succeed in this battle, you will be rewarded." He struck the railing with his sword and shouted, "Order, everyone get up, and set out in a quarter of an hour." ”

The knight on duty on the corner tower immediately rang the gladiatorial fight. As soon as the crisp and contentious gladiatorial sound sounded, the entire cold pavilion immediately became lively, one by one the doors opened, and one by one the knights rushed out and rushed to the stables in the backyard. Like Chen Zhi, they all lie in their clothes, their weapons are hung at the head of the bed, ready to set off at any time, only the war horses are unsaddled, and it takes a little time.

Sun Qian rushed out of the room next to him and rushed to Chen Dao's side while wearing his belt. "General, got any news?"

"There's news." Chen Zhi couldn't suppress the joy in his heart. "Yuan Xi is here."

"Thank goodness he's finally here." Sun Qian was excited. Yuan Xi came, and Chen didn't wait in vain for the past few days. If there is a chance to burn Yuan Xi's baggage, this battle will take the lead. Chen has merit, and he also has merit. If it weren't for him, Chen Zhi would not have been able to rush here to hide. If you sleep in the wild, not only will it be easy to be discovered by Yan Liang's scouts, but the food and grass needed by soldiers and war horses will also be a big problem. Hiding in Hanting, he not only helped Chen Zhi solve these problems, but also found an excuse to collect two hundred horses from nearby Duchang County as pack horses, which could greatly save the physical strength of the war horses.

A quarter of an hour later, two hundred knights and five hundred horses left the cottage and galloped southwest. With Sun Qian, who was familiar with the terrain, and the scouts as guides, Chen Zhi and his party arrived near Yuan Xi's camp at Yinshi and connected with the knights who stayed here. Chen Zhi ordered the knights to dismount and rest and make preparations for the battle, while communicating with the scouts and observing closely.

Personally inspecting the battlefield before the war can not only get first-hand information, but also adjust your mentality. It is better to see than to hear, and to personally inspect the terrain can make the command more confident in his tactical deployment and will not hesitate.

Looking at the quiet camp in the distance, Chen Zhi was secretly happy in his heart. Yuan Xi was very relieved, although there were scouts, but the scouts were all lax, there were still sixty miles away from the battlefield, they obviously didn't believe that Shen You would bypass Yan Liang to attack them.

Of course, if it weren't for the killing weapon prepared by Sun Ce, Chen Zhi would not have made such a decision. Attacking the camp with two hundred cavalry is unlikely to succeed, and even if it is lucky, the possibility of being bitten by the other party is very high, but anyone who is a little sensible will not do this unless it is absolutely necessary.

After inspecting Yuan Xi's camp, Chen Zhi returned to the front of the knights. The knights looked at him, their eyes lit up in the light of a few torches. Chen Zhi smiled slightly. "The prey slept soundly, and the hunt began."

"Whoa!" The knights shouted in unison, checking the weapons and horses for the last time, and the group of knights who were surrounded in the middle untied their large burdens from the back of the pack horses, spread them on the ground, took out large pieces of armor from them, and put on armor for the war horses that had been marching with empty saddles, and in the blink of an eye, the fifty strongest war horses were all dressed in armor, although they stood still, but they revealed a cold and murderous aura, which made people shudder.

Sun Qian woke up like a dream, surprised and delighted. "General, this is the rumored horse armor?"
