After Yuan Shao was excited, he slowly calmed down.

Everyone took a closer look, Yan Rou and Zhang Fei's actions could be understood, and Ye Chen and Cao Cao's actions could also be explained.

"My lord, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, let's take the opportunity to take the state and remove the threat from the rear." Frustrated suggested.

"Okay, Ju Yi, you go and occupy the city immediately, don't let Ye Chen and Cao Cao take the lead." Yuan Shao said.

Yuan Shao was excited, he hadn't won Qingzhou yet, if he could win and merge with the state, it would be a very good choice.

meantime

Ye Chen sent someone to discuss with Cao Cao and promised five thousand high-grade war horses, and Cao Cao immediately agreed.

"Meng De, do we really want to help Ye Chen win the state? With only five thousand war horses, this Ye Chen is too picky, why don't we take the opportunity to bargain with him. After Cao Hong heard Cao Cao's promise, he said very unhappily.

"It is better to merge the state in Ye Chen's hands than in Yuan Shao's hands. In addition, bargain with him, the next time Yuan Shao attacks us, Ye Chen will definitely have to go back several times, and it is better to sell him a favor at this time. Cao Cao said.

"Damn profiteers." Cao Hong said very dissatisfied.

However, Cao Cao will not invest too much, for him, it is okay to help, but he can't let himself pay too much.

In the end, after Ye Chen discussed with Cao Cao, he let Liu Bei's soldiers and horses go, and they switched to merging states to fight, with Ye Chen as the main and Cao Cao as the auxiliary.

Yuan Shao was not slow to move after confirming the battle for the annexation of the state, Ju Yi quickly set off with 10,000 people in front, and Yuan Shao led the rest of the soldiers and horses to follow.

What they are going to is Yinguan County, Yanmen County, that is, where the Yanmen County Guardian is located, and Liu Bei's lair before.

Liu Bei chose this place because Dong Zhuo asked him to be here, which is adjacent to Youzhou, Youzhou to the east, and Jizhou at the same time.

This place can threaten the rear of Youzhou and Jizhou, so Dong Zhuo asked Liu Bei to station troops here.

"Quick, don't let Ye Chen take the lead." Ju Yi urged while hurrying.

In fact, he was not far from Yinguan County, but Ye Chen and the others were closer, because Ye Chen and Cao Cao were going to ambush Liu Bei's soldiers and horses, so they would not be too far away.

Ju Yi secretly prayed in his heart that Ye Chen and the others would not move so fast.

Ye Chen and Cao Cao went to ambush Liu Bei's soldiers and horses before, they knew about it, and hoped that the two of them would fight, so that Yuan Shao could successfully take Yanmen County.

"Whew, I'm glad it was in time."

Ju Yi arrived with his men and saw that the city was not defended, and the city gate was ajar.

"Into town."

Ju Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and then hurriedly led people into the city, he had to arrange the defense first, so as not to be attacked if he did not have a stable foothold.

"Kill."

"Kill."

"Ju Yi, leave the head."

Soon after entering, the soldiers and horses had just dispersed, and there were earth-shattering shouts of killing everywhere.

"Oh no, I actually let Ye Chen take the lead and set up an ambush."

Hearing the shouts of killing, Ju Yi knew that he had been ambushed, but he did not panic, he knew that Ye Chen and their soldiers and horses did not have as many as his own, and they must have not been able to get the city for a short time, and the arrangement had not yet been completed.

"Block, reinforcements will arrive immediately." Ju Yi shouted and ordered the soldiers to defend on the spot.

At the same time, Ju Yi sent someone to report back immediately, so that Yuan Shao could speed up his march.

"This Juyi is quite methodical, and it has not collapsed all at once." At the head of the city, Cao Cao squatted under the wall battlements and said to the generals beside him.

Xiahou Yuan listened and said: "Meng De, why don't we attack now, we will definitely make Ju Yi suffer heavy losses." ”

Cao Cao's eyes rolled, and he said with a shining light: "Don't worry, let both of them fight for a while, consume a little more soldiers and horses on both sides, and now Ju Yi has no intention of retreating, if we attack, under the enemy's back, Ju Yi will definitely retreat immediately." ”

Cao Cao's purpose is very obvious, that is, to consume Yuan Shao's troops, it is best to let Ye Chen consume his troops, at this time Ju Yi is still insisting, if Ju Yi chooses to retreat, Cao Cao will not hesitate, and immediately order the soldiers on the city to attack.

Looking at the city, Ye Chen led the soldiers and horses to attack.

"If my first dead soldier is here, how can you be slaughtered at will."

Ju Yi saw that Ye Chen and several of his subordinate generals were taking turns to break the formation, cooperating in pairs, launching attacks round by round, causing Ju Yi's formation to collapse.

Juyi's first deceased soldier was an infantryman, and his speed was slow, so he was behind.

"Hansheng, break the formation together."

After launching several attacks, Ye Chen saw that Ju Yi's formation had loosened a lot, so he no longer hesitated, wanting to break through Ju Yi's formation in one fell swoop.

"Okay."

Huang Zhong slashed an enemy, roared, and marched hand in hand with Ye Chen, like two fierce tigers rushing over.

Zhao Yun and Guan Yu on the other side also exerted their might at the same time, and Tiger Head and Zhang Yi also began to prepare when they heard Ye Chen's shout.

For a time, Youzhou's army burst out with amazing power, breaking through all the originally precarious Jizhou Soldiers and Horses Front.

"Some of them blocked me, and the rest slowly retreated."

Ju Yi saw that the enemy was too fierce, and their soldiers and horses had not yet fully entered the city, and were divided into two parts, and knew that they could not be stopped, so he slowly retreated, trying to delay as much time as possible and wait for Yuan Shao's arrival.

"Mengde, don't make a move yet."

Seeing that Ju Yi wanted to retreat, Ye Chen shouted and reminded Cao Cao, who was ambushing the city, to start attacking.

"What!"

Ju Yi was taken aback, he didn't expect that Cao Cao would still have an ambush, and Ye Chen and Cao Cao jointly ambushed him.

Panicked and messed up the rules.

Cao Cao stood up when he heard the voice at the head of the city, raised the sword in his hand, and ordered the soldiers to attack.

At the head of the city, Cao's army was divided into two parts, one attacking the Yuan army inside the city and the other attacking the Yuan army outside the city.

Cao Jun, who had been holding back for a long time, fired thousands of arrows, and the killed Yuan Jun cried wolf.

When Cao Cao began to attack, the Yuan army was in chaos, the formation was very chaotic, Ye Chen waved his army to attack, and the Ju Yi army suffered heavy losses, leaving a large number of corpses.

Under the enemy's belly and back, Ju Yi couldn't care about anything else, so he could only retreat quickly, regardless of the chaos of the formation, and he could escape as much as he could.

It was also Ye Chen that they had just arrived, otherwise they would have arranged some stones and logs on the top of the city to block the city gate, and none of the enemies who entered the city would want to run out.

However, although they were not all left in the city, Yuan's army also suffered very heavy losses, about 7,000 people who entered the city, and 5,000 people who stayed in the city.

A thousand men were also lost outside the city.

set off with 10,000 troops, but was ambushed and lost more than 6,000 people, which made Ju Yi very angry, but he was helpless, at this time he had no way, if he had soldiers and horses in hand, he would kill them while Ye Chen was not on a firm foothold.

After driving Ju Yi and the others out of the city, Ye Chen immediately ordered the soldiers to take over the city wall and began to arrange defenses.

"Brother Mengde, I have worked hard, but there are so many states and counties in the state, and I still rely on Brother Mengde to help me a lot." When Ye Chen saw Cao Cao, he didn't mention why Cao Cao didn't attack this stubble just now, but greeted him warmly.

"Haha, no problem, it's just that Brother Ye don't forget to promise."

Cao Cao was quite happy that he did not spend a single soldier, not only reaping the benefits, but also striking Yuan Shao.
