Wang Lei and Zhang Jaw left Ping'en County with a large army and rushed to Qinghe Kingdom. As soon as he entered the territory of Beiqiu County in Qinghe State, the county magistrate of Beiqiu County appeared at the border with officials of all sizes and greeted Wang Lei in person.

Officials of Beiqiu County, big and small, all surrendered.

Speaking of which, Wang Lei's army is not the first time to enter Beiqiu County.

In the past, when Yuan Shao united with Gongsun Zhan, Wuhuan and Yellow Turban Thieves to attack Jizhou, Qinghe Kingdom was occupied by Yuan Shao. Wang Lei led the army to suppress the rebellion, and the army under his command once entered the Qinghe country and took Beiqiu County.

Now when I come to Beiqiu County again, I feel different.

Wang Lei took the county order of Beiqiu County and continued to the north. When arriving at the county seat of Beiqiu County, Wang Lei looked at the county order of Beiqiu County and instructed: "After returning to the county seat, issue a notice to crusade against Yuan Shao." The most important point is that Yuan Shao's evil deeds must be counted in detail, and I am waiting for your good news. ”

The county commander looked humble and said, "Don't worry, my lord, the next official will definitely be completed." ”

Since Wang Lei surrendered, the county order naturally would not refuse, and directly agreed.

The army rested for a moment and continued north.

The next location is Ganling County, the seat of Qinghe State.

Wang Lei led the army to gallop all the way to the county seat of Ganling County, and the county commander also brought officials of all sizes to greet him. At the same time, Yuan Shao's arrangement in the head of the Ganling County official was also sent to Wang Lei. In addition, there is also the grain stored in Ganling County, all of which was handed over to Wang Lei. Wang Lei accepted such a big gift, and he couldn't help but feel happy in his heart.

It's really interesting to fight like this.

Wang Lei accepted the county order of Ganling County to surrender, and also issued an order, so that the county order of Ganling County wrote a notice against Yuan Shao, announced to the people of Ganling County, and also had to count Yuan Shao's evil deeds.

After doing all this, Wang Lei continued to go north with his soldiers.

Ling County and County were not in Wang Lei's northward route, Wang Lei accepted the county orders of the two counties to surrender, and issued the same order, the same is to let the county orders of the two counties issue Yuan Shao's documents. When Wang Lei's army approached Dongwucheng County, the documents of the crusade against Yuan Shao in the four counties of Beiqiu, Ganling, Lingxian and County spread throughout the Qinghe Kingdom.

Tobu Castle Prefecture was garrisoned with troops led by Gao Ran and Buncho.

Last year, Gao Ran received an order from Yuan Shao and led a large army to attack Zhangjaw. At that time, Gao Ran led the army to attack continuously, and fought with Zhang Jaw several times, but he was unable to break Zhang Jaw's defense.

In desperation, Gao Ran withdrew to the Qinghe Kingdom and built fortifications in Tobu Castle County.

In the big tent, Gao Ran and Wen Chou sat opposite each other.

On the desk in front of Gao Lan, there were four points of documents, which were the documents of the county order of Beiqiu County to crusade against Yuan Shao, the document of the county order of Ganling County to crusade against Yuan Shao, and the documents of the county order of Ling County and the county order to crusade against Yuan Shao. The documents of the crusade against Yuan Shao in the four counties were all extremely provocative of Yuan Shao's evil deeds and said that Yuan Shao was heinous.

After Gao Ran saw it, he couldn't help but have a headache.

Wen Chou's expression was cold, and he said in a deep voice: "General Gao, it is really hateful that Wang Lei has adopted such a shameless strategy. The lord's reputation has been damaged, and we can't sit idly by. I suggest taking the initiative and taking down Wang Lei. ”

Gao Ran said: "General Wen, Wang Lei has Dian Wei, Lu Bu, Huang Zhong and others under his account, can you win?" ”

The corners of Wen Chou's mouth twitched, and his eyes were full of helplessness.

None of the people mentioned by Gao Ran had a chance of winning.

Gao Ran's eyes were solemn, and he said: "In today's situation, the only way to do this is to adopt a defensive strategy. After returning to Tobu Castle Prefecture last year, I built fortifications around it for the sake of today. There is no room for loss in this battle, defend first, and then wait for opportunities to find opportunities. ”

Wen Chou nodded, agreeing with Gao Ran's suggestion.

Immediately, Wen Chou asked: "How to deal with the documents of the four county orders to crusade against the lord?" ”

Gao Ran said: "Don't see it!" ”

The corners of Wen Chou's mouth twitched, and he smiled, no longer entangled in the topic of Yuan Wenwen. After a moment of conversation, he asked: "I heard that the lord has recruited a large number of soldiers and is leading the army to come, planning to fight Wang Lei to the death?" ”

Gao Ran said: "The lord is indeed preparing for a decisive battle with Wang Lei, and Dongwu City County is the location of the decisive battle. It is precisely because of this that we should be more defensive, wait for the arrival of the lord, and not be led by Wang Lei. ”

"Report!"

A soldier walked in and reported: "General, Wang Lei sent someone to send a letter of surrender." ”

As he spoke, the soldier handed the letter to him.

Gao Ran didn't even look at it, and ordered: "Take it out and burn it in front of the soldiers in the army." ”

"No!"

The soldier withdrew from the tent, and Gao Ran's expression became more and more solemn. Wang Lei's army has not yet arrived, but the compelling momentum has already arrived.

……

In Guangchuan County, the army led by Yuan Shao temporarily stopped to rest. In this decisive battle, Yuan Shao recruited all the troops he could recruit, and recruited 40,000 troops. It's just that these soldiers are not trained, most of them are recruits.

The big tent of the Chinese army, Yuan Shaozheng roared loudly.

Xu You sat quietly below, without saying a word.

The county orders of Beiqiu County, Ganling County, Ling County and County counted Yuan Shao's evil deeds, and issued a notice to crusade against Yuan Shao, which made Yuan Shao's liver angry. The small county magistrate dared to insult him, it was simply an ambitious leopard's guts. But Yuan Shao encountered such a thing, but he was powerless to fight back.

To punish the county order of the four counties, it cannot be done for the time being, unless Wang Lei is defeated.

Everything is back to Wang Lei.

Yuan Shao paced back and forth in the camp tent with his hands behind his back, and after a long time, he said in a deep voice: "In this battle, this official must defeat Wang Lei, and then arrest the county orders of the four counties, cramp and peel the skin, so that they can not survive and die." ”

Only then did Xu You speak: "The lord is reasonable, these people should be killed." However, as the lord said, the first thing to do is to defeat Wang Lei. ”

Yuan Shao suddenly suffered from gains and losses, and said worriedly: "Ziyuan, the four counties of Beiqiu, Ganning, Lingxian and County have quietly surrendered to Wang Lei, what do you think will happen to Dongwucheng County?" ”

Xu You said confidently: "Gao Ran led the army to be stationed in Dongwu City County, there is no problem. ”

Yuan Shao asked again: "What do you think is the chance of winning this battle?" ”

Xu You was not easy to answer this question, he thought for a while and asked, "Dare to ask the lord, what if there is a 30% chance of winning?" What if there is a 50% chance of winning? There is an 80% chance of winning, how to decide? ”

Xu You was thoughtful and saw the worry in Yuan Shao's heart. In such a situation, Xu You must strengthen Yuan Shao's confidence in the decisive battle and help Yuan Shao build confidence.

Yuan Shao was not stupid, after listening to Xu You's words, he understood, and said: "Yes, with the situation between me and Wang Lei, there is no possibility of reconciliation. 30% chance of winning, win the battle; Fifty percent of the chance of winning, but also have to fight...... One way or another, it's a World War. ”

Gradually, in Yuan Shao's eyes, he had the determination to fight to the death again.

Xu You sighed lightly in his heart, he also felt very difficult in this battle, but he had to fight no matter what.
