Yuan Shao looked at Jian Yong and chuckled twice.

"There is news that can tell you that Lu Yi has caught up with Liu Bei and has already engaged in the battle."

Jian Yong's heart tightened. He wanted to be calm, but he couldn't. He knew that Lu Yi was the number one general in Hebei, and he also knew that Lu Yi had more than 20,000 people, and his strength was twice that of Liu Bei. Even if Liu Bei chose favorable terrain, even if Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others were rare warriors, Liu Bei still had no chance of winning in the face of Lu Yi.

At worst, the losses will be heavy, and at worst, the whole army will be wiped out, and it will be considered lucky to be able to save the lives of a few of them.

"I heard that Liu Bei used Sun Ce's method to train his troops, I don't know if he can be as good at fighting as Sun Ce." Yuan Shao saw Jian Yong's nervousness and became even more proud. He is not worried about Lu Yi, he has enough confidence in Lu Yi's strength. Maybe the losses will be a little bigger, but the victory will only belong to Koji. What's so bad about having a little loss? Those people can't really be loyal to me anyway, so let them lose a little more.

The smile on Yuan Shao's face was even bigger, and he gossiped with Jian Yong, admiring Jian Yong's anxiety.

After a while, another herald came to report that Geng Zhan was ineffective in battle and was killed by Lu Yi. However, the combat effectiveness shown by Guan Yu's troops exceeded expectations, and the casualties may be relatively large, so Lu Yi asked Yuan Shao to sweep the formation to prevent Gongsun Zan or Zhang Ze from rushing to reinforce Liu Bei. At the same time, Lu Yi also reported Zhang He's merits. Although Zhang He failed to save the frustrated bird, he killed Tian Yu and repelled Zhao Yun. Right now, he is by his side to assist in the battle.

Yuan Shao was a little unhappy, but he was also relieved. With Zhang He's assistance, Lu Yi has a greater chance of winning.

After another half an hour, the heralds of Koji arrived and reported the latest battle situation. Zhang He led the halberd warriors to battle, and Guan Yu had been trapped, and victory was imminent. However, Liu Bei is well-trained, and the Youzhou army under his command has strong combat effectiveness, and if it goes through several actual battles, it is likely to become an elite, and Lu Yi suggested that Liu Bei be annihilated, hoping that Yuan Shao could rush to reinforcements.

Yuan Shao's face sank. He felt that Lu Yi was suspected of exaggerating his merits. What Liu Bei has trained well, it is possible to become an elite, this is a compliment. There is only one Liu Bei, and there are only 10,000 people, even if they are well-trained, they are recruits who have not experienced a big war, how can they be the elite opponents of a hundred battles under Lu Yi.

What do you want to do?

Jian Yong keenly felt Yuan Shao's emotional changes. Although Yuan Shao didn't say anything, Yuan Shao was unhappy, it was nothing more than that the battle in front was not as expected, that is to say, Liu Bei withstood Lu Yi's attack and was not defeated. He calculated the time and took it when he thought it should be good. It is impossible for Liu Bei to defeat Lu Yi, and if he can not be defeated, he will earn fame. If the time drags on for too long and the casualties are too great, it is not a good thing for Liu Bei.

"Che Qi, how is my Yuyang soldier?"

Yuan Shao looked at Jian Yong, flicked his sleeves angrily, and snorted.

"Che Qi is right, Liu Fujun's training method was learned from General Sun, not only that, but most of the ordnance used by my Yuyang soldiers also came from Yuzhou, especially Guan Yu's Qinglong Yanyue Knife and Zhang Fei's Zhangba Snake Spear, which are simply rare divine weapons. Has Zhang He, who is under the command of Che Qi, not come back yet? If he meets Zhao Yun and Tian Yu in front of the battle, it will be fine, but he should be careful when he encounters Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. ”

Yuan Shao's brows tightened, and his heart became uneasy. He clenched the Sizhao knife at his waist, and looked at Guo Tu again. Zhang He is his most important general, with good martial arts, proficient in the art of war, and some research on Confucianism, especially his family heirloom halberd, which is simply a natural guard battalion. Compared with those crude spears and iron halberds, this retro-style halberd is worthy of his status as the fourth and third dukes.

Yuan Shao thought for a while, and said to Fu Zhu: "Gonghe, you see...... Does the Koji general need reinforcements? ”

He bowed down and said: "My lord, the art of war is cloudy: ten are to surround it, and five are to attack it." General Qi's strength was about twice that of Liu Bei, and victory was expected, but the casualties might not be small. Moreover, the battlefield is not far from Zhuo County, and Gongsun Zhan is likely to be nearby, and if he attacks with cavalry, the threat is not small. If the lord can move the camp forward and sweep the battle for the general of the koji, it can be safe. ”

Yuan Shao bowed slightly. He hoped that those of Lu Yi's subordinates who had old thoughts about Han Fu would die as soon as possible, but he didn't want Lu Yi's subordinates to lose too much at once, which would affect the morale of the whole army and make people suspect that he borrowed a knife to kill people.

"Then send 10,000 people to reinforce Lu Yi."

When Jian Yong heard this, he immediately regretted it, and hurriedly said: "Riding a car, although Yong is not talented, I think that this move is not only not perfect, but also has a big problem. ”

Yuan Shao raised his eyebrows and dragged out his voice. "Oh? I would like to hear about it. ”

Jian Yong aroused Yuan Shao's interest, but he was not in a hurry to answer. He just wanted to interfere with Yuan Shao's train of thought and prevent him from sending troops to reinforce Lu Yi. Even if you can't stop it in the end, you have to be able to delay it for a while. "Fu Gonghe, are you worried about Ling Lang? Fake public welfare is not what a strategist should do. ”

Frustrated, furious. "Jian Yong, you don't have to talk about right and wrong here. The alliance leader is aware of everything and will not be mistaken by your tricks. Aren't you just afraid that as soon as the alliance leader's army arrives, Liu Bei's morale will collapse and he will be defeated and flee? He does not know the general trend and is the enemy of the alliance leader, and this is his inevitable fate. If you really want to save him, it is better to go back now and persuade him to surrender than to show off your tongue here. ”

Jian Yong shook his head. "Gong and what he said, Yong dare not agree. Dong Zhuo is dead, the Son of Heaven is in power, the three princes of the DPRK and China are all party members, and the alliance to fight against Dong has long since disappeared, and the title of the leader of the alliance is no longer appropriate. The chariot rider leads Jizhou, Zhang Envoy Jun leads Youzhou, Yuyang is a county of Youzhou, how can my family Governor carry Zhang Envoy Jun and bow down to the Che Rider? You are trapped in the land of disloyalty and unrighteousness. ”

Frustrated and remorseful. He was excited by Jian Yong, and he didn't choose to say anything for a while, and Jian Yong grabbed the handle. Just as he was thinking about how to bring this back to the end, Yuan Shao suddenly turned to look at the south side. Fu Zhu also looked over, and saw a knight rushing a few hundred steps away on the south side, and his heart couldn't help but tighten.

Could it be that something happened to Yecheng?

Frustrated and unable to talk to Jian Yong, they stared at the knight, watching him come to Guo Tu and hand over the wooden box containing the urgent mail. Frustrated, his eyes were sharp, and when he saw the wooden box, his heart lifted. Three lines of cinnabar were painted on this wooden box, which was a sign that would only be used for the most urgent news, and it needed to be delivered at an expedited speed of six hundred miles.

Fu Zhu and Yuan Shao exchanged a look and walked over together. When they walked to the hillside, Guo Tu had just opened the wooden box and was looking at the urgency, when he heard footsteps, Guo Tu handed over the piece of paper, his eyes were complicated. Yuan Shao looked at it in his eyes and felt very strange, he had never seen Guo Tu have such eyes, he was excited, nervous, and painful, and couldn't help but ask: "Gongzhi, what's wrong?" ”

Guo Tu smacked his lips, pulled Yuan Shao aside, and said in a low voice: "Lord, the epidemic in Yuzhou." ”

Yuan Shao was stunned, and only after a while did he react, surprised and delighted, and hissed: "Really? ”

Guo Tu secretly looked at Fu Zhu, Tian Feng and the others in the distance, and his voice was lowered. "My lord, this ...... It's not a happy event. ”

Yuan Shao suddenly realized. Yuzhou is his home state, and the epidemic will kill a lot of people, even if those people are not from the family that supports him, after all, it is his people in his own state, especially Runan and Yingchuan, there are many people who have an inextricable relationship with his subordinates, and it is indeed inappropriate for him to act too excited.

"Alas......" Yuan Shao showed sadness on his face and sighed: "This Sun Ce's crime is also." ”
