Yan Shao was woken up by the noisy sound, and before the soldiers outside the door pulled the curtain in, Yan Shao had already turned over from the bed first, still wearing the single clothes he wore before going to sleep.

Only those who wear armor can understand how uncomfortable it really is to wear it. As for falling asleep in armor, no one would do it unless the military situation was urgent, because it would be difficult to sleep at all...

If it weren't for this, there wouldn't have been so many generals in history who died in the chaos after being attacked at night, and it was really too late to be armoured.

At present, the situation of the Qingzhou army is superior, and there are many scouts and secret posts around, so there is no need to worry about night attacks. As the commander of the unified army, he doesn't need Yan Shao to go into battle, so he can naturally wear a single coat and lie comfortably on the bed...

It's just that now, looking at the flames in the direction of the Yellow River, Yan Shao's expression was as cold as the temperature at this time, so that some of the civil and military officers who came to inquire couldn't help but bow their heads.

"Did you find out what was going on?" Yan Shao squinted his eyes and asked coldly.

"Not yet..."Hearing Yan Shao's inquiry, a general next to him hurriedly replied. The last general has just sent someone to investigate, but there is no news back yet..."

Although there is no news for the time being, looking at this posture, even if you think about it on your knees, you know that it will not be a good thing.

After staring at the direction of the Yellow River for a while, Yan Shao looked back at Pingyuan City. Originally, the defenders of the plains were exhausted and would not be able to take it long, but now that something like this has happened, I am afraid that the situation is about to change...

In other words, several other generals in the army also came in turn...

"Lord!"

At this time, Yan Shao had already put on the gorgeous and sturdy armor under the service of his own soldiers, and the whole person became much more majestic.

Looking at the subordinates who came over, Yan Shao bowed his head slightly.

"Lord, there is a fire in the direction of the Yellow River, I am afraid that Yuan Shao's group of reinforcements are making trouble..."

Huang Zhong's words attracted the echo of others.

The situation is already obvious, the ferry on the other side of the Yellow River is heavily guarded, and it is unlikely that there will be such a big problem when you are idle. The Jizhou army that haunted not long ago suddenly disappeared again, and it was obviously this group of missing Jizhou soldiers who did it...

Yan Shao nodded in agreement, he also agreed with this opinion...

"I underestimated this group of Jizhou troops..."These 3,000 cavalry, Yan Shao doesn't pay attention to it.

Pay attention, 3,000 cavalry is also a big force, and if you don't get one right, it will cause a lot of trouble. What's more, Qingzhou itself does not produce horses very well, and it is not easy for the entire Qingzhou to come out with 3,000 cavalry, at least not as easily as the Jizhou army. If you don't pay attention to it, even if it is 3,000 cavalry, it is useless in the face of such a predicament, and there is no way to really change anything if you are all in it...

And now, Yan Shao can only hope that the loss will not be serious...

Worried is worried, Yan Shao has not forgotten the problem of appeasing the army's heart.

The movement on the other side of the Yellow River is so big, as long as it is not blind, it can basically be seen clearly. It is certain that the morale of the army is unstable, and this is the time when it is necessary to appease the morale of the army. Don't underestimate the problem of military morale, people are easy to blindly follow, especially in the war, most people are nervous, no one knows whether they can survive tomorrow, even a slightly larger movement at this time may lead to disastrous consequences.

Similar things are very common in history, and they have happened since the Three Kingdoms period alone.

Although there is a small problem now, it does not affect the overall situation, and Yan Shao does not want to lose the good situation in front of him because of this little thing.

With Huang Zhong and other generals, it is of course simple to appease the morale of the army, but after one night's work, the morale of the army has almost stabilized. This is also related to the current smooth situation, in the case of a smooth situation, most people's spirits will not be too tight, if it is adversity, I am afraid that it will not be so easy to solve.

By daybreak the next day, several of the camps had calmed down, and the men who had gone to the Yellow River to investigate the situation had returned.

There is indeed a problem on the other side of the Yellow River, and the problem is not small...

The pontoon bridge that was originally built on the Yellow River was almost destroyed by the Jizhou army...

Now almost all the follow-up troops, grain, grass and baggage are blocked on the other side of the Yellow River...

It would take several days for the new pontoon bridge to be built, and while it didn't affect the situation, it certainly demoralized a bit...

And after careful interrogation, Yan Shao also understood what was going on.

The one who guarded the bridge was a subordinate general under Yan Shao, who began to follow Yan Shao's side since the Yellow Turban, and he was not very famous, but he was quite rigorous and had some ability, so he was reused by Yan Shao.

The importance of crossing the bridge is self-evident, and the general naturally did not dare to take it lightly, especially after the news of the three thousand cavalry came, it attracted the attention of the general and made many arrangements. There are many rejection horses arranged near the crossing bridge, and a lot of secret sentinels and scouts are arranged around, confident that even if something really happens, it will be enough to resist the enemy.

Outcome...

Just when the general asked himself about the proper arrangement, a large number of rolling logs flowed down the Yellow River at night, which was almost exactly the same as the strategy used by Zhang He and Xu You when Yan Shao crossed the Yellow River.

For this hand, the general has already made arrangements, and there have already been many ropes arranged along the coast to stop the rolling logs. It's just that some of the burnt logs are a little troublesome, so the general has to arrange some soldiers to deal with them, after all, ropes can be easily burned. The fact that the Yellow River itself is constantly flowing and is now being intercepted by ropes does not mean that it will be the same for a while. As long as the rope breaks, these logs will naturally show their power again...

This person's arrangement was quite proper, and a large number of soldiers rushed to the banks of the Yellow River to solve the trouble of running down from the upper reaches of the river by taking the boats that had been prepared long ago. Because the coast is brightly lit and there are ropes to block it, even though it is night, the problem can be solved properly.

But what people didn't expect was that this move was just a small trick to judge, trying to attract the attention of the Qingzhou Army near Duqiao, and the real killing move was still behind.

Just when all the Qingzhou troops along the coast were attracted by the movement upstream, the three thousand light horsemen who had never been traced suddenly appeared from nearby and killed in the direction of the bridge...

Although the Qingzhou Army had been prepared, its attention was almost focused on the direction of the bridge. Everything along the way was only slightly blocked, and it was killed.

Especially the leader Wen Chou, who was even more brave, directly led the men and horses to burn the bridge along the coast and the nearby baggage, and then swaggered away, leaving only a piece of fire...
