However, it was said that the two sisters of Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao came to the front line with the army, and at this time it was already the third day that they had arrived at Guandu, and the follow-up cavalry, infantry, equipment soldiers, and baggage logistics troops were also coming in a steady stream.

The vanguard of the Han army was only 70,000 for the time being, but it had to fight against Yuan's 700,000 troops. But Liu Xie was not afraid, because after his follow-up troops arrived one after another, they would reach 500,000 troops, which was more than enough to deal with Yuan Shao.

Except for the fact that there are not as many people as Yuan Shao, they are better than Yuan Shao in other aspects, but there is one thing that bothers Liu Xie, that is, Yuan Shao's usual killer weapon: driving the people to fight.

Yuan Shao and even Liu Xie love the people like sons, so they use the people to threaten them.

Liu Xie convened the generals to discuss countermeasures, and some generals suggested that they should push it all the way down and not care about the lives of the people, because this is a war, and war cannot be merciful.

Some generals objected to this, saying that it was simply a massacre of the people.

Liu Xie said: "Yuan Shao treated the people cruelly, but our Han army must not. The world is the world of my Han Dynasty, and the people are also the people of my Han Dynasty, and the people are the foundation of the country and must not be treated cruelly. ”

Guo Jia said: "Your Majesty is merciful, not as tyrannical as Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, so Your Majesty can maintain peace and stability for a long time, and he will definitely be able to defeat the enemy, but Yuan Shao is brutal and will perish for a long time." ”

Chen Gong said: "Feng Xiao, this is the reason, but we can't help Yuan Shao for a while, dare to ask Feng Xiao what good strategy can quickly break the enemy?" ”

Guo Jia said: "All marches and battles, no matter how many people or soldiers, are inseparable from food. Yuan Shao's army of 700,000 crossed the river, and must have prepared a large amount of grain, if calculated according to one pound of grain a day per person, Yuan Shao would have to fight here for at least a month, and this month must consume more than 200,000 stone of grain, if three stones, that is 600,000 stones, or half a year, that is 1.2 million stones, the longer the time, the more food will be consumed. So ......"

Chen Gong said: What does Fengxiao mean to fight a protracted war with him to consume his food? When he runs out of food, will he be broken?

Guo Jia said: "This is just one of them, in fact, to fight a war of attrition, our Han army is also very difficult, although we have a continuous supply of food and grass, but Yuan Shao has a large number of people, the longer the time, the more casualties among the people." If we can burn his food and grass at this time, it will speed up the end of the war, and at the same time, these refugees will be able to return home. ”

Chen Gong asked, "But we don't know where he hoarded grain and grass. ”

Guo Jia said: "This is the crux of the matter. ”

After listening to their conversation, Liu Xie smiled secretly in his heart: You don't know, what special I know, isn't Yuan Shao's grain in the black nest?

In the original history, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao fought in the Guandu battle, and Yuan Shao hoarded grain and Wuchao, which was guarded by 20,000 troops led by Chun Yuqiong.

In the current history, although it was not Cao Cao who fought against Yuan Shao, but he Liu Xie, it can be concluded that Yuan Shao will still hoard grain in the black nest!

Although Liu Xie knew where Yuan Shao was hoarding grain, he didn't say it now, because Yuan Shao had just finished assembling not long ago, and the grain and grass troops must not have been fixed, so he wanted to wait another day or two, and then go to rob his grain and grass!

However, he said that the discussion had not been decided, and the scout reported that Yuan Shao's army had arrived in front of the battle, and Liu Xie led the generals to go out to watch, only to see Yuan Jun beating drums in the town, tens of thousands of crossbowmen platoons and both sides and in the door flag.

After the three-way drum, Yuan Shao came out in clusters, with golden helmets and golden armor, brocade robes and jade belts, standing in front of the formation, and lined up Gao Lan Han Meng and other generals on the left and right. The flag festival is very strict.

Liu Xie whipped at Yuan Shao and said to the generals around him: "This grandson, the pomp is not small, and it has already overshadowed me." ”

Guo Jia said: "Your Majesty governs the army strictly, is thrifty and thrifty, and never dresses up uselessly, how can Yuan Shao compare?" ”

Liu Xie smiled and asked: "According to Fengxiao's words, Yuan Shao is bluffing?" ”

Guo Jia said: "Exactly. ”

Liu Xiesui asked a soldier with a loud voice next to him to help him shout: "Yuan Benchu, you are a loyal minister of the third generation of the Yuan family, and you are a food of Hanlu, why did you rebel?" ”

Yuan Shao shouted: "King Chen Liu, you falsely passed on the edict and usurped the throne, and you are guilty of crimes, even more than Wang Mang and Dong Zhuo!" Accuse me of rebellion today! Now that Emperor Hongnong is here, what do you say? ”

Yuan Shao said, and two horsemen hugged Liu Wei and came out.

Liu Wei is five years older than Liu Xie, and now he is twenty-two years old, Liu Xiexin said: My half-brother is really pitiful, only four months as the emperor, he was ousted by Dong Zhuo, and then he was taken captive by Yuan Shao, and then he was taken hostage by Cao Cao, and now he is held hostage by Yuan Shao.

However, the original four months of Emperor Liu Bian's original gains were also illegal, and it was his biological mother He who tampered with Emperor Ling's edict and supported the ascendant.

As everyone knows, Emperor Ling's edict is going to be passed on to him Liu Xie!

But before looking at the battle, Liu Wei, wearing a dragon robe, wearing a crown, riding a yellow-maned horse, shouted under Yuan Shao's coercion: "Brother Huang, restrain the horse from the precipice, turn back to the shore, you repent now, I am not guilty of the past, and I still named you the king of Chen Liu, and gave you a fief." If you are obsessed with it again, you will be crushed and regretted too late! Please think twice. ”

Liu Xie said angrily: "Yuan Shao, you are a weak soul, everyone in the world knows that the edict of the first emperor is to pass on the throne and me, but it is actually the He family who tampered with the edict and helped her son to ascend the throne, which has been revealed to the world on the day I ascended the throne." Why are you still deceiving yourself and fooling the world, do you think everyone is as stupid as you? You are doing this just to seek to usurp the throne in the name of Liu Wei. ”

Yuan Shao said: "Now that Emperor Hongnong is here, the puppet emperor Liu Xiexiu wants to talk nonsense!" ”

After that, Gao Ran Han Meng went out to fight, and on the side of the Han army, Zhang He and Pang De had already met them.

The four of them fought in front of the battle.

Not long after the battle, Yuan Shao ordered to rush into battle, and tens of thousands of crossbowmen on both sides fired arrows and rode fire.

Liu Xiexin said: What are you so bad compared to me, you actually give me an archery comparison, and the special Lao Tzu makes you shoot to doubt your life.

With the order, the archers and crossbowmen charged and killed the cavalry.

The Han army has 70,000 crossbow cavalry on this side, and the opponent's crossbowmen are less than 20,000, and they are all infantry, how can they compare with the Han army.

A burst of crossbows and crossbows were fired on both sides, and Liu Xie ordered to ride and shoot at Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao hurriedly hid in the formation with Liu Wei.

Seeing that the Yuan army could not parry the cavalry of the Han army, they drove a large number of people from both sides, and the cavalry behind them waved their swords to drive them away, and those who ran slower were either hacked to death or shot to death by arrows.

I saw that these people were rushing here without their lives.

Liu Xie ordered: the whole army stopped the attack, guarded the place, let the people go, saw the Yuan soldiers shooting, and at the same time let the crossbowmen on the well fence shoot down, and report Yuan Shao's location.

There were casualties on both sides, and Liu Xie was worried that the Han army was too consumed, so he ordered to quickly set up the sunset crossbow and shoot fire arrows at Yuan Shao's position.

Yuan Shaojun gradually retreated, and Liu Xie did not chase after him, and set up camp.
