"Report, lord, the latest information." On this day, Ye Chen was playing with Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao in the yard, and the soldier came to report.

Ye Chen got up and asked the soldier to wait in his room first.

"Brother-in-law, you're going to leave again, it's only been a while." Xiao Qiao was reluctant and began to say coquettishly.

"Xiao Qiao, brother-in-law has something important to do." Ye Chen touched Xiao Qiao's delicate head and said.

Da Qiao was also reluctant, standing aside and looking at Ye Chen.

"Big Joe, hug, I'm here to see you when I'm free." Ye Chen hugged Da Qiao and patted her on the back.

In the end, Xiao Qiao also wanted to hug her, but Ye Chen could only hug her as well and leave.

"Tell me, something." When he arrived at the room, Ye Chen asked the soldiers to report.

"Lord, we have received news that Cao Cao claimed that he would lead 20,000 people to the east of Yanzhou to cooperate with Yuan Shao and besiege us."

"Good, good, great." After listening to the information, Ye Chen clapped his hands and said happily: "I'm afraid that Cao Cao won't move, as soon as he moves, the whole game of chess will be alive." ”

If you want to enter Jizhou, you must pass through Yanzhou, and if you want to enter the hinterland of Jizhou, you must pass through the center of Yanzhou, so Ye Chen cares most about Cao Cao's movements, if Cao Cao has not moved, then he has no chance, once Cao Cao acts, giving Ye Chen a chance, Ye Chen will have the opportunity to jump out of Yuan Shao's encirclement and give him a heavy blow.

"It's time to prepare." has been waiting for Cao Cao's reaction, now that Cao Cao has acted, Ye Chen will also start to prepare.

That night, Ye Chen found Da Qiao and said to Xiao Qiao: "Da Qiao, Xiao Qiao, I will send you back to Liaodong first, you go to Liaodong to wait for me, I will go back soon." ”

"Husband, husband, are you leaving us?" Da Qiao asked Ye Chen to trick him into calling him husband, and now he was still a little uncomfortable, but he still called out.

"That's right, now that the enemy is present, the husband wants to beat them up and teach them a lesson." Ye Chen said lightly.

The two were reluctant and asked Ye Chen to send them tomorrow.

"Husband, dear." Ye Chen was leaving, Da Qiao said in a low voice.

If Xiao Qiao hadn't been there, Ye Chen would have pounced a long time ago, but with Xiao Qiao here, he was embarrassed, afraid that Xiao Qiao would do something amazing.

"Okay, kiss." was about to part, Ye Chen couldn't care so much, grabbed Da Qiao with one hand, and kissed him.

"Brother-in-law, I want to kiss too, I want to kiss too."

Sure enough, Xiao Qiao also made a fuss, and Ye Chen only needed to kiss her on the face a few times.

Bidding farewell to the two, Ye Chen invited a few more confidant generals over.

Ye Chen's room was surrounded by a guard battalion, and he explained his strategic ideas to a few people in detail.

"Everyone understands, each has its own tasks, this time we are going to make Yuan Shao uneasy and make him regret coming to deal with us." Ye Chen said after telling a few people about his plan.

Several people were very excited, only Xu Huang was not very happy, Ye Chen understood why he was unhappy, because the most important thing for him to cooperate with this mission was to cooperate, there was no big battle to fight, and there was no place to collect the scrape.

Early the next morning, Ye Chen said goodbye to Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, the two little girls were reluctant to give up on him, Ye Chen promised them a lot of things, and finally hugged them one by one before letting them go.

They will go to the seashore and take the Mi family's boat to Liaodong, and at the same time there will be a number of baggage, which are all scraped along the road, some in Lujiang County, and some in Guangling County.

"Okay, Cao Cao really formed a tacit understanding with us." After Ye Chen came back, he saw the latest information and said happily.

It turned out that Cao Cao had already given way to a large passage in the middle, and if necessary, Ye Chen could pass through it directly.

The two sides had no direct contact, but from the time Cao Cao responded to Yuan Shao's call to deal with Ye Chen in a high-profile manner, Ye Chen knew that the two sides had begun to form a tacit understanding.

Cao Cao didn't do any good to deal with Ye Chen, but he did it anyway, so there must be a secret in this, and this secret is to make way for Ye Chen, and at the same time not offend Yuan Shao.

"Let's go, go north, go to Qingzhou." After sending away Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, Ye Chen came back and gathered the army and prepared to go.

15,000 soldiers and horses, strong soldiers and horses, 10,000 cavalry is even more majestic.

Now, Ye Chen's generals Guan Yu, Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, Tai Shici, Xu Huang, Tiger Head, plus Ye Chen himself, are already a very powerful combat force.

The army went all the way north, walked for three days, and approached Qingzhou.

A more detailed battle report was sent to Ye Chen.

"How much does this Yuan Shao hate me, there are so many troops gathered in the east and north of Qingzhou." Ye Chen thought that Yuan Shao was crazy, and in order to deal with himself, he actually gathered more than 100,000 troops.

"Lord, what should we do next?" Guan Yu looked into the distance and said.

"There are not many soldiers and horses in the central part of Qingzhou, so we will break through, and then lure them into pursuit and circle with them." Ye Chen said.

Fifteen thousand people, after entering Qingzhou, they will advance quickly, this Yuan Shao only controls part of Qingzhou, many counties are not under his control, and some of the counties under his control are only indirectly controlled, which gives Ye Chen a lot of opportunities.

Rushing all the way, Yuan Shao's army was still arranged, not moving, they were all waiting for Ye Chen to enter the net they had weaved.

A few days later, Ye Chen had already passed through most of Qingzhou and approached Yuan Shao's army.

"Okay, great, this Ye Chen is nothing more than that." Yuan Shao shouted happily when he received the information.

This Ye Chen went all the way north, and he would soon reach his encirclement, which made him very excited, and he would immediately be able to crush the bones of this person he hated to the bone.

"Order the army, once Ye Chen enters the encirclement, pounce on them all, bite them tightly, and don't let them have any chance to escape." Yuan Shao's eyes emitted a cruel light, once Ye Chen was caught, he would definitely not let him have a good time.

When Yuan Shao was happy, Ye Chen and his army were already approaching Yuan Shao's defense line.

"Komeito left behind with 5,000 men and horses and began to arrange." In the mountainous area dozens of miles away from Yuan's army, Ye Chen ordered Xu Huang to stop with five thousand men and horses.

These 5,000 men and horses are the team that was incorporated all the way to Nanyang before, and after more than half a year of training, they are now also a strong army, but there is still a big gap compared with the Liaodong Guard Battalion.

These 5,000 men were not good at horse warfare, they only learned to ride horses, but they did not learn how to fight on horseback. At the beginning, the escort battalion was configured with one person and two horses, but now all the surplus horses have been given to Xu Huang, five thousand horses, so that they can also have two horses.

"Yun Chang, Han Sheng, eldest brother, third brother, the five of us each brought 2,000 soldiers and horses, covered each other after receiving the enemy, and took over to disrupt the enemy army, and then feigned defeat and retreated." Ye Chen gave another order, and several generals came out to promise.

In this way, the battle with Yuan Shao officially began.
