"In the battle of Huguan, although the Marquis of Jin won, the army of Bingzhou also suffered heavy losses, but now from the news from Bingzhou, the Marquis of Jin has the heart to attack Jizhou." Cheng Yu was puzzled.

Cao Cao frowned slightly: "If this is the case, Jizhou may be difficult to retreat from this war, at the beginning did not listen to the words of Benhou, and retreated from the battlefield of Huguan, but he did not expect that once the princes withdrew their troops, where should Jizhou go, unless Ben could take the lead in repelling the Youzhou army, otherwise, once Feng Xian freed his hand, Jizhou would inevitably fall into a crisis." ”

"The army of the state of this war against the army of the princes, the use of the standing soldiers and horses of the state, the task of these soldiers is to train, conquest, but in the counties and counties of the state, there is not a weak army, now the state, Youzhou has no threat from the grassland, but also can easily mobilize more soldiers and horses, such as the defenders of Yanmen Pass, are all elite soldiers, otherwise the state will be when the princes' army arrives, easily gather so many soldiers and horses."

Cao Cao's words made the hearts of the strategists in the field suddenly raised, and the essence of Bingzhou was completely displayed when resisting the coalition of princes, at this time, no one would doubt that the Bingzhou army captured Jizhou, the main thing was to see if Lu Bu had the will to attack Jizhou, and the victory on the Huguan battlefield made the morale of the Bingzhou army unprecedentedly high.

The madness of the state army outside Huguan left a deep impression on the princes.

"My lord, now Zang Ba occupies Xiapi, which poses a big threat to Pengcheng, and Zang Ba has some means." Cheng Yu said.

Cao Cao's eyes flashed with a fierce color, no matter whether Zang Ba was involved with Lu Bu or not, if he dared to affect his status in Xuzhou, he couldn't stay.

"Ordered Chen Deng and Hua Xiong to lead the Xuzhou army to attack Zang Ba, and the thunderbolt lathe crossbow was transported from Yanzhou to Xuzhou." Cao Cao said coldly.

"Whoa." The three of them arched their hands, this battle against Xuzhou, even if Cao Cao had a heart, it was difficult to go, and he could only rely on the strength of the Xuzhou army itself.

In fact, without Cao Cao's order, Hua Xiong is already very concerned about the matter of Xiapi, after being injured outside the Huguan, Huaxiong has been recuperating in the army, and after learning that Zang Ba attacked Xiapi and killed Liang Gang, Hua Xiong was furious, Xiapi was his root at this time, if there was no Xiapi, he would become a rootless duckweed.

After returning to Pengcheng, Hua Xiong advocated attacking Xiapi, driving Zang Ba away from Xiapi and recapturing Xiapi, but Chen Deng refused to send troops on the grounds that he had not received Cao Cao's order.

At this time, Hua Xiong only had more than 300 cavalry in his hands, and he was angry in the face of Chen Deng's deliberate troubles.

In Huguan, Xu You gradually felt that something was wrong, and the wounded soldiers in Huguan gradually left, in this expectation, but there were many soldiers who came to Huguan, if it was a day or two days, it still seemed normal, and after a long time, Xu You noticed that something was wrong, and recently he met with Lu Bu and talked about the alliance between the two sides, and Lu Bu also delayed again and again.

"Inform the Marquis of Ye to guard against the state army." Xu You said in a low voice.

However, Xu You was destined to be disappointed, his residence was already guarded by the Bingzhou army, how could Xu You easily spread the news to Jizhou.

Let's say that after Yuan Shao led the Jizhou army back to Yecheng, he looked at the Youzhou military camp not far from Yecheng, and a cold color flashed in his eyes, it was the Youzhou army that made the Jizhou army have to retreat from the battlefield in Huguan and fell into the current situation, and Lu Bu should not have been easily allowed to capture Youzhou in the first place.

"Lord, the Youzhou army is extremely elite, although Guo Jia, the commander of the army, is a literati, he is very strategic, and he is Lu Bu's sworn brother, and he has won Lu Bu's trust." Feng Ji Dao.

Yuan Shao nodded slightly, the more Lu Bu trusted the Youzhou Army, the more unfavorable it was for him, only after Lu Bu felt that Guo Jia's existence was a big threat, maybe because of fear, Guo Jia would withdraw the army or weaken the power in Guo Jia's hands. 、

The Jizhou army entered the city, but Guo Jia did not order the army to stop it, and now the number of Youzhou troops is weaker than the Jizhou army, their biggest role is to contain Yuan Shao's troops, and now Yuan Shao's withdrawal from Huguan has led to the defeat of the princes, and their goal has been achieved.

After entering the city, Yuan Shao immediately gathered the main generals and officials in the city.

Glancing around at everyone, Yuan Shao said slowly: "Ben Hou was ordered by the Holy Lord to crusade against the rebel Lu Bu in Bingzhou, and I don't want the Youzhou army to take the opportunity to make trouble and put Jizhou in danger, I don't know if you have a good plan to deal with the Youzhou army?" ”

Seeing that everyone was silent, Tian Feng came out and said: "The Youzhou army is only more than 20,000 people, if General Gao Ran is allowed to lead the elite to attack Zhongshan, then the Youzhou army will definitely be difficult to take care of, and it will be difficult to succeed in Jizhou." After the events of that day, he could clearly feel Yuan Shao's distrust of him.

Yuan Shao's eyebrows flashed a fierce color, let Gao Ran gallop to help Yecheng is what he meant, although Tian Feng's words did not rebuke the original wrong order, but it was insinuated, the people in the field, which is not shrewd, after a little thought, you can understand the meaning of Tian Feng's words.

Yuan Shao snorted coldly: "Although Yuan Hao's words are appropriate, but Gao Ran has just been defeated, and the army has no morale, how can he fight with the Youzhou army in Zhongshan." ”

"If this is the case, the lord can mobilize the available troops in the city to repel the Youzhou army, at this time there are nearly 50,000 soldiers in Yecheng who can fight, with the city as a support, the Youzhou army comes from afar, if it goes out of the city to face the battle, it will definitely be able to win." Tian Feng changed his words, in fact, this is what Tian Feng wants to say the most.

As the lord of Jizhou, Yuan Shao should show a strong side at this time, as long as the Youzhou army is defeated by strong means, Jizhou will definitely settle down, and those who secretly want to take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble will also put away their careful thoughts, and after repelling the Youzhou army, Lu Bu will definitely not send troops to attack Jizhou.

Feng Ji frowned, although Tian Feng's words were not unreasonable, it was a way to make the Jizhou army suffer the greatest loss, at this time, the Jizhou army not only had to guard against the Youzhou army, but also against the threat from the state, the princes' coalition army had withdrawn from Huguan, if Lu Bu sent troops, how should Jizhou respond.

"Lord Tian has forgotten who the master of the Youzhou Army is? The elite of the Youzhou army, you must have heard of it, when Lu Bu led the Youzhou army to sweep through Liaodong, let Xianbei surrender, seal the wolf Juxu, and achieved great prestige, at this time, the soldiers outside Yecheng were the original Youzhou army. "Feng Ji Dao.

Officials in Jizhou have become accustomed to such things happening in the governor's office.

Yuan Shao asked, "If it means a metagraph?" ”
