Sure enough, after Ye Chen received the news of Zhao Yun's success, Ju Yi also received Yuan Shao's order the next day.

Yuan Shao ordered Ju Yi to attack Youzhou and take the annexed state.

Ju Yi received the news and was deeply helpless, and Yuan Shao's order could not be ignored.

Although he had to obey Yuan Shao's orders, Ju Yi did not send troops immediately, but also had to wait for a good time.

On this day, Ye Chen set off with soldiers and horses with great fanfare, afraid that others would not know.

Ye Chen's movements, Ju Yi quickly got the news.

But Ju Yi was not very happy.

Someone sent a pillow to him for this sleepiness, and he didn't have any doubts.

But Ju Yi also can't give up this opportunity.

On the one hand, we should prepare actively, and on the other hand, we should respond cautiously.

Two days later, Ye Chen and Huang Zhong converged.

"Hansheng, what's going on with this Ju Yi?"

Huang Zhong clenched his fists and said, "My lord, this Ju Yi is very cautious and has not made any moves, but he has sent a large number of scouts in the past two days. ”

A large number of scouts were dispatched, which was a sign of action, but Ju Yi was equally cautious, believing that he would not move so quickly.

It had been two days since Ye Chen arrived in this small county seat, and Ju Yi, who was dozens of miles away, still did not move.

Ye Chen is not in a hurry, whoever is in a hurry at this time will lose.

At this time, Ju Yi received the news that the army sent to capture another county that merged with the state, and now Guan Yu retreated to the west with his soldiers and horses.

attacked two counties in a row, and the Youzhou army did not send a single soldier to support.

"Huh~ It seems that Ye Chen is going to give up the state and stick to Youzhou, he is smart." Ju Yi exhaled and said.

"Order, the whole army is ready, and tomorrow we will kill the enemy."

Ju Yi knew that Ye Chen would not support the annexation state, so it was impossible to wait for them to divide their troops.

In addition, Yuan Shao has been urging Ju Yi to attack.

Why is Yuan Shao so anxious?

Because Zhao Yun has been wandering around them with soldiers and horses.

Although Zhao Yun has not acted since the last time he burned their grain and grass, with 10,000 cavalry wandering around him, where can Yuan Shao rest assured.

This cavalry, coming and going like the wind, when will he stab himself in the dark.

Therefore, Yuan Shaocai asked Ju Yi to attack quickly, and then forced this cavalry to go to support.

"Damn." Yuan Shao scolded secretly.

In the past two days he sent a large number of troops to drive away the cavalry, but the cavalry always fled like a ghost and appeared like a ghost.

This greatly disturbed Yuan Shao's army, which had to be kept on high alert, and the soldiers were very tired

Moreover, the transportation of grain and grass and the grain and grass base had to send a lot of troops to defend, which affected Yuan Shao's attacking army a lot.

"My lord, if you want to attack Qingzhou and Cao Cao, Ye Chen's team must solve it as soon as possible, otherwise my rear will be threatened from time to time, and the last general will not dare to deploy it in front." Yan Liang said.

Yuan Shao nodded, he understood such a simple truth, but how to solve this army?

"Yan Liang, you let go and attack, the enemy only has 10,000 cavalry, it should be no problem for us to defend carefully, and I asked Ju Yi to attack Youzhou immediately, I think this army will not be able to stay sooner or later."

Yuan Shao hurriedly comforted Yan Liang, Yan Liang was the commander of the army, if his confidence was affected, the army in front would suffer great losses.

Yan Liang clenched his fists and agreed, and went to prepare.

Yuan Shao wrote another urgent document and asked Ju Yi to attack immediately.

Cao Cao didn't expect that he and Yuan Shao hadn't fought yet, and Ye Chen had already made a move.

"Haha, Meng De, this Ye Chen can finally do something good, and he doesn't need money, he actually burned a large amount of Yuan Jun's grain and grass for us, and now he has sent troops to harass Yuan Shao." Cao Hong said loudly.

In the eyes of Cao Jun's generals, Ye Chen's behavior was very strange, because Ye Chen had never been profitable and could not afford to be early, and it was normal for him to be a big pit on Cao Cao in this matter.

But not this time.

"This Ye Chen is not so kind, helping us at this time is helping himself. If we can't stand it, he will not have a good time in the end. Cheng Yu said holding his beard.

Cao Cao nodded and said: "With my understanding of Ye Chen, he will go back to this favor, even if he doesn't want to go back, I'm afraid he will even have to go back with interest the next time he has the opportunity to pit himself." ”

"Damn profiteers." Cao Ren scolded.

Cao Cao didn't continue this issue, he and Ye Chen's general manager had to wait until after this battle before they said, and at this time he had to face Yuan Shao's army first.

"My lord, my subordinates propose to withdraw all the population of the Qingzhou area we occupy and give up Qingzhou." Cheng Yu said first.

Yuan Shao's 200,000 army pointed at Qingzhou, and he was determined to win.

Cao Cao didn't say a word, he also knew that this Qingzhou couldn't be defended.

After a long while, he said: "Even if you want to lose a lot, you must follow Yuan Shao, if he is allowed to get Qingzhou easily, he will definitely be ambitious and wave his army to attack my Yanzhou." ”

Qingzhou is lost, Cao Cao can accept it, but Yanzhou is his base camp, and there must be no mistakes.

The generals were silent, knowing that this battle was difficult to fight, and once the battle started, it would inevitably suffer great losses.

However, Cao Cao has already set the tone, and the rest can only do what Cao Cao wants.

In fact, Cao Cao still has expectations in his heart, looking forward to Ye Chen, the ally of the pit man, although Ye Chen likes the pit man, including allies, but at a critical time, he is still very powerful.

By the time Cao Cao was formulating his strategy, Ye Chen had already begun to fight Ju Yi.

Ju Yi led a large army and surrounded the county seat where Ye Chen was located.

"Lord, Ju Yi has become smarter, step by step, I'm afraid it will take a while." Huang Zhong said.

Although the county seat is small, there are about 20,000 soldiers and horses in it, and Ju Yi certainly does not dare to storm it.

The soldiers were actually protected, and the archers stepped forward to cover the attacking team under the cover of their shields.

The two sides fought fiercely, but after a day of fierce fighting, Ju Yifang lost less than a thousand people, and Ye Chen's side killed more than 200 people.

However, the consumption of equipment on both sides is not small.

After the first day of fighting, Ju Yi looked at the city outside the tent and was speechless for a long time.

"General, the defense of this city is not strong, if we attack strongly, it will only take about ten days to break through the city, this Ye Chen is inside, if we can capture Ye Chen, then Youzhou is at our fingertips."

The deputy general was very confident, after all, their 100,000 troops, plus Ye Chen sent more than 10,000 troops to act in other places, he judged that there were not many troops in Daijun.

Ju Yi shook his head and said: "Breaking through the county seat, of course, you can break it, but it is extremely difficult to capture Ye Chen, not to mention how many casualties we have to pay to break through the county seat, plus this generation of counties, there are still many counties with stronger defenses in this Youzhou, do we want to attack one by one." ”

The deputy general Ju Yi was speechless and didn't dare to refute it, but he didn't think so at all in his heart.

In his opinion, this Ye Chen didn't even dare to save the state, obviously knowing that his army was unstoppable, and this Ju Yi didn't dare to take advantage of the victory to pursue and miss the great opportunity.
