There is a distance of about one hundred and fifty miles from Wancheng to Xinye, and it took Yuan Shutong two days to lead his 50,000 troops to reach Xinye, which is already a relatively fast speed.

After arriving in Xinye, Yuan Shu immediately summoned Pan Feng, Yan Xiang, Xiahou Lan, Zhang Xun and others who were originally stationed in Xinye, and learned about the specific battle situation in Xinye from their mouths. And after understanding it clearly, Yuan Shu didn't say anything, just ordered to go down and prepare to go out of the city tomorrow to fight.

Yuan Yao also arrived in Xinye with Yuan Shu this time, and after arriving in Xinye, Yuan Yao went to see Chen Chi, because there are so many Yuan Shu's subordinates in Nanyang, only Chen Chi can be regarded as Yuan Yao's descendants, and the others, even Li Yan, have formed a good relationship with Yuan Yao at most, so that when Yuan Yao takes over Yuan Shu's forces in the future, Li Yan and others will not hesitate to join Yuan Yao's command, but now, Li Yan is not Yuan Yao's person.

There is a difference between intimacy and intimacy, although compared to Chen Chi, Yuan Yao values Li Yan more, but he also knows that Li Yan will not get too close to him now, and Li Yan also has a certain political ability, otherwise he would not have become one of Liu Bei's orphans in the original trajectory. However, it is precisely because Li Yan has a certain political ability that Li Yan will not get too close to Yuan Yao now, but he will not be too far away.

After Li Yan was recommended by Yuan Yao to Yang Hong, he was also valued by Yang Hong, and now he has become Yang Hong's right-hand man, it can be said that if this continues, it won't be long before Li Yan will be pulled closer to Yuan Shu's inner circle by Yang Hong, after all, Yang Hong is not a jealous person, and Yang Hong will still do this kind of thing about introducing talents.

And at this time, if Li Yan and Yuan Yao got too close, then Yuan Shu might have some other ideas, so Li Yan did not deliberately shorten the distance between himself and Yuan Yao. But firstly, Li Yan was recommended by Yuan Yao, and secondly, Yuan Shu only had an only son like Yuan Yao, which means that the future heir of Yuan Shu's forces could only be Yuan Yao, if nothing else, so Li Yan would not deliberately alienate himself from the relationship with Yuan Yao.

From Chen Chi's mouth, Yuan Yao also has a clearer understanding of the current situation in Xinye, but after understanding the specific situation in Xinye, Yuan Yao has nothing to worry about.

This time, Yuan Shu gathered in Xinye can be said to have 70,000 troops, and they are all elite, without a single miscellaneous soldier, and 20,000 of them are still the wolf cavalry of Bingzhou under the command of Lu Bu, which can be said to be a crushing strength of the 50,000 Jingzhou army under Liu Biao. If Yuan Shudu still lost this battle in such a comparison of strength, then Yuan Yao would have nothing to say.

After catching up with Chen Chi, Yuan Yao went down to rest, tomorrow is the big battle with Liu Biao, Yuan Yao will definitely go out with the army, even if he can't go into battle in person, he must watch this big battle.

Of course, Yuan Yao's real purpose was to see what kind of strength the Bingzhou wolf led by Lu Bu could have on the battlefield. Although there are cavalry under Yuan Shu's command, the number is only 5,000, and compared with the world-famous Bingzhou wolf cavalry, there is also a big gap between the combat power.

Yuan Yao wanted to see with his own eyes the might of the wolf cavalry in Bingzhou, and he also wanted to estimate how powerful a truly formed cavalry would be.

The next day, Yuan Shu's army was already five watches to make food, and when the sun was rising, the 70,000 army had already left Xinye County under the personal command of Yuan Shu, and headed for the camp of Liu Biaojun's army outside the city.

At this time, Liu Biao had just gotten up and was about to convene his subordinates to discuss how to capture Xinye County, when he suddenly heard the news from the scouts that Yuan Shujun had left Xinye County and was coming towards their big camp, with a number of about 70,000 or 80,000 people.

When Liu Biao got the news, he was stunned at first, and then he was shocked, and hurriedly sent someone to summon his subordinates, and at the same time ordered people to prepare for war.

And Wen Ping and Wang Wei are generals, and their sensitivity to the situation on the battlefield is much higher than Liu Biao's, when they heard about the number of Yuan Shujun's troops, Wen Ping and Wang Wei realized that Yuan Shujun's reinforcements had arrived, and they attacked extremely decisively, and the seventy or eighty thousand troops were pouring out, and it seemed that they were planning to finish their work in one battle.

After listening to the analysis of Wen Ping and Wang Wei, Liu Biao couldn't help but look at Kuai Yue and asked, "Xenodu, what do you think we should do now?" ”

Kuai Yue thought for a moment in his heart, and had already made a decision, saying: "Lord, since the Yuan Shu army wants to fight, then we will fight." Although it seems that Yuan Shu's army has 70,000 or 80,000 people now, but we also have 50,000 people on our side, which are also elite, I don't believe that Yuan Shu's army can defeat our army, as long as we win this time, no, as long as we are not defeated, we can take advantage of the situation to take the initiative. ”

When Kuai Yue said this, Liu Biao's face also had an excited color, and even an abnormal flush appeared, and said: "Okay, since that's the case, then we will fight, Wen Ping and Wang Wei listen to the order." ”

"The last general!" Wen Ping and Wang Wei both felt Liu Biao's will and did not dare to delay in the slightest.

"Pass the order, the whole army will be dispatched, and the whole army will be summoned immediately, I want to see how many reinforcements this Pan Feng and Yan Xiang have received, and they dare to go out of the city to fight."

The Jingzhou army has not been able to capture Xinye County, which can be said to have a lot to do with Pan Feng, a fierce general in the Ninggang realm, and many times when the Jingzhou army was about to climb the city, it was Pan Feng who stood up, one person and one axe, and forcefully pulled the situation back.

And Pan Feng's brave and invincible momentum also gave the Xinye defenders strong confidence, allowing them to hold Xinye County, which was incomparable to another general in Xinye City, Xiahou Lan. Although Xia Houlan's strength is not weak, she is far inferior to Pan Feng in terms of momentum.

There was even a time when Wang Wei and Wen Ping shot together, but they were blocked by Pan Feng alone, or even suppressed to the death, and at the same time Yan Xiang restrained Kuai Yue, and then Xiahou Lan killed the Quartet, and forcibly killed the Jingzhou army's battle array, thwarting the Jingzhou army's offensive.

Thinking of this, Liu Biao had a killing intent in his heart, a killing intent against Pan Feng, but at the same time, there was a heart of cherishing talents, if he also had a peerless general like Pan Feng under his command, then Liu Biao could be sure that his strength would definitely undergo earth-shaking changes, but unfortunately, what Liu Biao lacked under his subordinates was a fierce general.
