On the school field, the black pressure was full of Yuan soldiers.

The soldiers were in groups of three or five, all chatting about the upcoming war.

No one worries about future wars.

The Yuan family is in full swing, and there are many more soldiers and horses than the Cao family.

Almost every soldier of Yuan's army thought that it was a one-sided war.

As long as the army crossed the Yellow River, the Cao family would fall, and they would be able to follow Yuan Shao into the relatively wealthy Huanghuai area.

"Yuan Gong has arrived!" With a shout, the soldiers stopped talking and formed a phalanx on the school grounds.

Yuan Shao took Yuan Shang, his staff, and the generals to the high platform and looked around at the soldiers on the school ground.

"Good, very good!" Yuan Shao nodded with satisfaction.

On the school field, the soldiers who could barely see the end were staring at him.

With his hands on his hips, Yuan Shao shouted: "Soldiers, do you know what is the purpose of gathering you here?" ”

No one responded, eyes still staring at him.

"It has been three years since Cao Cao welcomed His Majesty to Xudu." Yuan Shao said: "I got the news that Your Majesty is very aggrieved in Xudu. Cao Cao not only killed Dong Cheng, but also forced Dong Guifei, who was next to His Majesty, to commit suicide, which was really a rebellious act of the ministers. ”

Yuan Shao's tone of voice was raised a lot, and the expression of the 100,000 Yuan Army was also a lot more solemn.

The soldiers actually don't know what it means to be loyal to the monarch and serve the country.

They know how to fight and eat.

But Yuan Shao's remarks made an inexplicable feeling rise in the hearts of the soldiers.

It's a strange feeling, a longing for the battlefield that comes from the depths of my heart.

"The soldiers may have heard that Cao Mengde and I are still sons and daughters." Yuan Shao said: "It stands to reason that there should be no fight between our two families. But how do I choose between righteousness and subsection? ”

Looking around at the soldiers of the Yuan army who were oppressed by the black, Yuan Shao shouted: "As a Hanchen, I can't watch His Majesty suffer and be indifferent. Today, I am here to swear to defeat Cao Cao and Kuang Zheng Han Dynasty! ”

As soon as Yuan Shao's shouting fell, the soldiers raised their weapons and shouted in unison: "Yuan Gong is mighty!" ”

"Recite Cao Yuwen!" Yuan Shao shouted.

The judge stepped forward with Cao Yuwen in his hand and read it aloud.

The script was beautiful, but many of the soldiers were illiterate and could not understand the meaning of the words he read.

A pair of eyes looked at the judgment who was reading the text with a blank determination.

After the trial was finished, Yuan Shao stepped forward and shouted to the soldiers: "Cao Cao's crime is cited in the text, how can we not crusade against such a great person who is guilty of great rebellion and evil?" ”

"Victory! Win! There was another cheer on the school grounds.

Yuan Shao sent a letter against Cao and declared war on the Cao family.

Cao Cao hurriedly deployed a large army and advanced to Guandu to lower the upcoming attack of Yuan's army.

The day after the message was issued, Yuan Shao sent troops to Liyang, intending to cross the Yellow River and fight Cao Cao for a decisive battle.

Yan Liang, who had already been ordered to come to Baima, also received an order from Yuan Shao, asking him to immediately launch an attack on Liu Yan, the Taishou of Dongjun, to clear the Cao army on the front line of Baima as soon as possible and occupy the main road to cross the river.

In the handsome tent, Yan Liang pinched his chin and looked at the military order sent by Yuan Shao.

Yan Liang was tall, and he was half a head taller than the average person when he sat there.

Although he is over thirty years old, he is handsome, different from the handsomeness of a weak child, he is handsome and unconcealed heroic.

Guo Tu and another general sat in the tent, both eyes looking at Yan Liang.

Another general, who was about forty years old, had a red rosacea nose that was the most striking thing on his face, which showed that he was particularly fond of drinking.

He is none other than Chun Yuqiong, who was canonized as the eighth lieutenant of the West Garden along with Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others.

"Yuan Gong has finally decided to use soldiers." After reading the military order several times, Yan Liang smiled slightly and said to Guo Tu and Chun Yuqiong: "How do you think you can break Liu Yan as soon as possible?" ”

"The general has been in White Horse for many days, but he has never been able to enter White Horse City." Guo Tu said: "Liu Yan is guarding the White Horse, our army will definitely be blocked when it reaches the Yellow River, and it is imperative to defeat Liu Yan!" ”

"I also know that it is imperative to defeat Liu Yan." Yan Liang said: "What I'm asking is how to break it? ”

"Liu Yan has few soldiers." Guo Tu said: "As long as the general besieges the city, it won't take long to break through." ”

"What should Cao Cao do if he sends troops to help?" Yan Liang asked.

"It's just right that he sent troops to help." Guo Tu said: "The general can just besiege the city and send reinforcements. ”

His eyes fell on Chun Yuqiong's face, and Yan Liang asked, "What does General Chun Yu think?" ”

"I think the public rule makes sense." Chun Yuqiong said: "If the general besieges the city, I am willing to lead troops to ambush the enemy on the periphery." ”

Yan Liang looked up and smiled, and said to the two of them, "I think the ambush is still avoided." There are only a few people under Cao Cao, and none of them can get into my eyes. General Chun Yu led the troops to besiege the city, and I led the troops to intercept the road halfway. ”

After all, Yan Liang is the main general, and when he arranged it like this, Guo Tu and Chun Yuqiong didn't have much to say, so they had to respond.

On the other side, Liu Yan, who had been confronting Yan Liang for a long time, also found that something was wrong with the situation.

Standing at the head of White Horse City, looking at Yuan Jun in the distance, Liu Yan frowned tightly and commanded the guards on the side: "You quickly cross the Yellow River and report to Cao Gongyu, just say that Yan Liang may attack White Horse at any time." ”

The guards retreated.

Liu Yan shouted to the soldiers at the head of the city: "Prepare to roll logs and stones, prepare enough arrows, if the enemy attacks the city, I will beat them down!" ”

With his order, the soldiers of the Cao army at the head of the city moved one after another.

Soon, the Cao army under the city brought stones and rolling logs, and transported arrows into wooden barrels to the city.

The internal and external war clouds of Baima are thick, and a big war is about to begin.

On both sides of the Yellow River, the Cao and Yuan families were actively preparing for war, but Shouchun at this time was thriving, as if he did not notice that the war was approaching.

In Shouchun City, Sima Yi, Ji Ling and others were recalled from outside.

Cao Shuo sat in the council hall, and on both sides of the hall sat his staff and generals.

Everyone's eyes fell on Cao Shuo's face.

"You should have heard about Hebei." Cao Shuo said: "Yuan Shao sent a message to crusade against his father, the army has been stationed in Liyang, Yan Liang also led troops to surround the white horse, and the war is about to start." ”

"Is Childe going to send troops now?" Sima Yi asked.

"I told you to come back so that you could send troops with me." Cao Shuo said: "Leave the affairs of Xuzhou to the local officials first, and let them use dim sum." ”

"I've already commanded it." Sima Yi said: "And gave them a strict order, everything is based on the strategy issued by the son, if anyone dares to disobey or fill their own pockets, there will be no forgiveness!" ”

"It's absolutely necessary for Zhongda to do this." Cao Shuo said: "Officials everywhere can't let them live too comfortably, if they live comfortably, the people will suffer, and the world will be chaotic!" ”
