"It's coming so fast! This Liu Xuande is really coming too fast! ”

In the hearts of all, this feeling arises.

Yuan Shao had just received the letter sent by Liu Bei, and Liu Bei's army had already arrived. Yuan Shao asked: "How far are the Qingzhou soldiers from here, do you know how many people there are?" ”

At this time, it's too late to say anything, it's true to find a way, even if you can't help it, at least find out the enemy situation first.

The scouts said: "General Hui, there are a lot of cavalry in the Qingzhou Army, covering the battlefield, and I can't see how many people and horses there are." However, the Qingzhou army is extremely strong, and it is afraid that there will be no less than 60,000 or 70,000 people. Its forward is only a few dozen miles away from here. ”

Sixty or seventy thousand, there are only a few dozen miles away, Yuan Shao heard this, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so he had to be silent.

That's 60,000 or 70,000 horses, and it's a lot of money every day, and every day the grain alone costs more than 3,000 stones, and the forage costs as much as 5,000 stones.

That is, Liu Bei ruled in the plain for three years, and attached importance to farming, and the plain was a large agricultural county, so he could dispatch an army of 50,000 without mobilizing too many resources from other counties.

"Be careful! Be thoughtful! What a deliberate thought! ”

Tian Feng on the side couldn't help but say.

At this time, besides, Liu Bei sent troops to attack Yuan Shao because Han Fu committed suicide, who would believe it.

This amount of military mobilization can actually hide from everyone's eyes and ears, this Liu Xuande is really too insidious.

At this time, Yuan Shao's situation was extremely dangerous, and the soldiers were all sent out to attack Gongsun Zhan, and under the great victory, everyone was scrambling for merit, which could be said to be a mess.

Even Yuan Shao, as the lord of the first army, was surrounded by Gongsun Zhan's defeated troops just now.

If it weren't for these Gongsun Zhan's men and horses, they didn't know that the person surrounded by them was Yuan Shao, or if Lu Yi came back a little later, the outcome of this battle would probably have to be rewritten.

If, at this time, Liu Bei's men and horses were killed, it would be very difficult to gather the men and horses to resist with the chaos of Yuan Shao's men.

Tian Feng is Tian Feng in the end, and he really lived up to expectations, and after venting a few words, he immediately came up with a solution, "General, now that the situation is in crisis, we should first send cavalry to harass and delay the Qingzhou soldiers' march, and then quickly send envoys to collect men and horses." As for Gongsun Zhan, the general of the defeated army is not enough to speak bravely, so don't care about him for now. ”

Yuan Shao bowed his head slightly, and said: "What Yuan Hao said is extremely true, come to someone, quickly go to the order, recall the people of all departments, and immediately notify Wen Chou, and let him lead the cavalry to harass and delay the Qingzhou soldiers. ”

After that, Yuan Shu looked at Lu Yi again and said to him: "Please also ask the general to drum up Yu Yong again and rest on the spot, if Liu Xuande comes, if our army has not yet been assembled, please also ask the general to maneuver." ”

"No!" Koji Yi should give up.

When Yuan Shao went to command the troops, one of Liyi's subordinates stepped forward and said to Liyi, "General, I have a word, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

Koji Yi said: "If you have something to say, just say it directly, between us, there is nothing that can be said." ”

That general is also a henchman of Lu Yi, and at this moment he lowered his voice and said: "General, we just fought hard, and we want to resist Liu Qingzhou again, I think General Yuan is using us to block the sword." ”

Lu Yi was still immersed in Yuan Shao's promise to "worship", and he was silent.

Seeing that Lu Yi was silent, the henchman continued: "I think that Liu Qingzhou is really the master of the Ming Dynasty, and he is really good to our martial artists." ”

Although Liu Bei's policy greatly harmed the interests of scholars and heroes, it also greatly improved the status of martial artists. That's why this henchman of Koji Yi has such a saying.

Lu Yi said: "Liu Qingzhou is domineering, it is the Qin State's method of cultivation and warfare, although it can succeed for a while, it is not a long-term solution." ”

"It can't last long," the henchman shook his head, "It can't last long, and for how long?" Qin Shi Huang did not destroy the Six Kingdoms. ”

Lu Yi said: "Yuan Benchu waited for me, it was not thin, just abandon him like this, and he still has to take refuge in his enemies, how can you and I gain a foothold in the future?" Besides, even if you want to take refuge, you have to fight this battle first, and even if you want to sell and take refuge, you have to fight the battle well before you can sell it at a good price. ”

"Naturally, we are all up to the general." The henchman said again.

As Yuan Shao's military orders came out one after another, the troops in Yuan Shao's army also came back one by one, and seeing that the Qingzhou army in the distance had not yet arrived, Yuan Shao exhaled lightly, and his heart was a lot more relaxed.

Even Gongsun Zhan, who had fled, also sensed Yuan Shaojun's abnormality, and gradually slowed down, and no one came to chase him anyway.

Guan Jing saw it on the side and said, "General, Yuan Shao has collected his troops, is it Liu Qingzhou who is here with his troops?" It's better for us to kill a horse gun, not too many people, as long as there are thousands of people, muster up the courage to kill back, and fight Liu Qingzhou back and forth, Yuan Benchu can be defeated! ”

Gongsun Zhan's expression moved, but in the end he shook his head and said: "Forget it, now that our army has lost its courage, I am afraid that if we force them to go into battle, I am afraid that they will mutini immediately." It is only right to take this opportunity to gather more defeated soldiers. As for Liu Xuande, let him fight with Yuan Benchu. ”

This is to let Yuan Shao and Liu Bei fight and lose both.

Under Yuan Shao, there were not many cavalry, only more than 1,000 people, and Yuan Shao's henchman Wen Chou was in charge.

Wen Chou originally wanted to pursue Gongsun Zhan, but Yuan Shao sent someone to catch up, knowing that Liu Bei was coming, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly returned to the army, preparing to delay Liu Bei's Qingzhou army.

Thousands of horses rode across the land of North China, and the horses' hooves stepped on, only splashing up pieces of smoke and dust, and emitting a pleasant "dada!" Voice.

This crisp sound of horseshoe is actually the sound of horseshoes mounted on the horse's hooves and stepping on the earth. Horseshoe, which is still a freshly baked black technology, has not yet spread. However, the horsehoe has shown itself to improve the cavalry's ability to march.

The whole team, everyone is one person and two horses, in addition to the war horse, there is also a pack horse.

The knights on the horses were all dressed in leather armor and carried carbines, bows and arrows, and other things.

During the march, the knights gradually dispersed. First they were scattered into six detachments of about 500 cavalry each, led by six Simas, and then into 30 squads of 100 cavalry, led by Qu Chang. The distance between each group of cavalry was no more than two or three miles, and the left and right were within sight. Thirty curved cavalry, controlling a distance of about 100 miles, marched all the way to the north.

These cavalry were sent by Liu Bei to carry out a search and shelter mission. The three thousand cavalry, like an iron curtain, completely covered up the situation on Liu Bei's side.

In the middle, a banner with the word "Zhao" floated high, and one of its generals, a white horse and silver gun, wearing iron armor, was Changshan Zhao Zilong.
