Yu Gu said: "For the battle of Beishan, the last general thinks that the giant beast should be the main attack. Because our soldiers lack experience in attacking mountains, and they do not have large-scale mountain-attacking equipment, it is difficult to attack them. ”

Yuan Xi said: "Although the giant beast is strong, they can't climb the mountain, and they can't do much in this battle." ”

"Giant ape, giant ape..."

"And pterosaurs."

Everyone knows a lot about the Behemoth.

The giant ape is good at climbing mountains, and the pterosaur can fly, so they can be used as the main force to attack mountains.

"General Xi, the behemoth is not invincible. They fought bravely on the flat ground, relying on the hardness and armor of their flesh, to withstand ordinary attacks. But climbing the mountain ... Do you feel safe? If you roll down a rock and smash it down the mountain stream, how can you survive? Let the soldiers attack along the mountain path, and I believe that we will win in the end. Yuan Xi said.

"Yes."

Solidify the following.

"Report..." At this time, a soldier ran in from outside: "Qingzhou urgent!" ”

"Bring it."

The battle report from Qingzhou must be about the attack on Jibei and Taishan.

As early as half a month ago, Yuan Xi appointed Guo Tu as his military advisor, Zhou Ang and Wei Yuanjin as generals, leading 25,000 elite soldiers to chase and defeat the fleeing Yuan Tan, and by the way, capture Jibei and Taishan key roads.

At the same time, the Liyang Sailor who stayed on the Yellow River would also enter Qingzhou.

"Good!"

After Yuan Xi read the battle report, his hands trembled with excitement, and he couldn't help but say a good word.

Li Dian asked, "Lord, what kind of good news is it?" ”

"Could it be that Qingzhou has been captured?" He conjectured.

"Qingzhou was not conquered, but Yuan Tan was arrested by Lejin." Yuan Xi said with a smile: "I really didn't expect that Le Jin led three thousand sailors to land from Dongpingling and march to Linzi, but met the defeated Yuan Tan halfway. Yuan Tan was defeated again, and there was no escape, so he could only be captured. Le Jin asked me for instructions on what to do with Yuan Tan. ”

Dealing with Yuan Tan is not something that ordinary generals can discuss.

Because Yuan Tan is Yuan Xi's eldest brother after all.

Even if Guo Tu and Tian Feng are here, they will not interject at will.

The generals understood and remained silent.

Yuan Xi thought for a while and said, "Yuan Tan has a certain amount of influence in Qingzhou, and he can be used to force the garrisons from all over Qingzhou to surrender. If he can take over Qingzhou without blood, it will also be regarded as a meritorious achievement, and his treatment in the future can be lenient. ”

"The lord is forgiving, and Tan Gongzi will be grateful to Dade." Li Dian said.

"He's grateful to Dade?" Yuan Xi said disapprenously: "The resentment in his heart, I'm afraid it will be difficult to eliminate." When my father was alive in the past, Yuan Tan, as the eldest son, should inherit the throne, and now I will succeed him, can he feel good? I'm afraid I won't be able to get over this hurdle in my life. ”

Yu Gu snorted: "Fortunately, the ancestor is wise, and the lord will inherit the throne.... ”

"If Hebei really falls into the hands of Yuan Tan, how can it be against Cao Cao now?"

.........

On this issue, Hebei Wenwu has mentioned it more than once.

Yuan Shao made many wrong decisions in his life, but before he died, letting Yuan Xi succeed to the throne was the most correct decision in his life, and it also determined whether the Yuan family could gain a foothold in this troubled era.

"Alright, I've got an idea about that. You don't have to talk about it. Yuan Xi pointed to the map and said, "The most important thing now is... Block Cao Chun's tiger and leopard ride. Which of you wants to lead the army? I have no extra troops for you, and I have no excessive demands on you, just a day's delay. I will be able to capture Beishan and capture the thief alive. ”

"This..."

Even Zhang Jaw was defeated by the tiger and leopard cavalry, or with the most elite heavy cavalry in Hebei.

He was embarrassed and said: "The troops in our hands are already very small, and we are still overstretched to attack Beishan, so how can we free up our troops to meet Cao Chun's tiger and leopard cavalry." Even if the forces are freed up, it will not be enough to win. ”

"What do you suggest?"

"The last general does have a suggestion. I'm afraid that the lord will not will. ”

"You say."

"Don't attack Cao Cao first, delay for a while, wait for the transfer of troops from Puyang, and then eliminate Cao Cao."

Li Dian also said: "Yes, my lord, our troops are too small, and it is difficult to completely annihilate the Cao army. Puyang's 150,000 foot cavalry, although it is said to contain Cao Cao's army in Guandu, but as far as the last general knows, Cao Cao only placed less than 60,000 people in Guandu, and the disparity in strength is too great, so why not transfer 50,000 over? ”

Yuan Xi said: "I'm worried that Cao Cao has hidden a large number of troops in Yanzhou, and once Puyang's army is transferred away, and then he sneaks up and conquers it, our grain route will be cut off." ”

"But now..."

Yuan Xi calculated an account in his heart.

Since crossing the Yellow River, Cao Cao's army has appeared one after another, and there are more than 300,000 (including Yuan Tan's 50,000 troops and Guandu's 60,000 troops).

Even if there were, it would not be enough to attack Puyang.

"General Xi and General Li Dian, your proposal is very timely. My Puyang army should indeed be transferred. In this way, the plan to attack Beishan will be postponed for five days, and you will first deal with Cao Chun with all your might. When I go back to Puyang, I will not only transfer 50,000 troops, but also transfer more giant beasts here. Strive to annihilate Cao Cao in one fell swoop. ”

"The lord is wise..."

Li Dian and Yanggu were happy.

With Yuan Xi's words, they no longer have to worry about the war in Beishan.

.....................

The tiger and leopard riders were rushing in the direction of Cao Cao.

It is expected to be killed in half an hour.

At this critical moment, Yuan Xi left the battlefield and flew to Puyang, two hundred miles away.

Da Da...

A fast horse came running from a distance and rushed into the gate: "Report..." ”

"Where did Cao Chun's tiger and leopard go?" Li Dian walked over and asked.

"General, the tiger and leopard ride is still ten miles away." The soldier replied.

"I'll investigate again, and I'll report back in five miles."

"No."

After the soldier left.

Li Dian hurriedly returned to the camp: "General Xi, Cao Chun's tiger and leopard ride will be here soon, we must be prepared." ”

"What is the general's countermeasure?"

"I think the lord is right, even the vanguard battalion with Zhang Jaw has not defeated Cao Chun, and my wolf cavalry may not be able to make contributions, not to mention that now that the establishment is crippled, it is impossible to win. Therefore, we defend instead of attacking. Let those giant beasts come out and put them in front of the gate of the village, I don't believe it, Cao Chun dares to attack the giant beasts? ”

Li Dian's idea was very good, but he smiled: "General Li, the giant beast is not easy to greet." They only listen to the Lord, are you sure to call them? ”

Li Dian said: "When the lord left, he had already explained it clearly to the giant beasts, so don't worry." ”

"Hehe..." He smiled and said, "Okay, since you're not afraid, you can call it." I went to set up an ambush and prepare to defend the village. However, I would like to warn you that the behemoths are very irritable, and they often have conflicts with each other, even throwing fists at each other. You'd better be nice, if you make them unhappy, your safety... ”
