North of Guandu, the camp of the Yuan army.

In the big tent, Yuan Shao was holding a wine glass in his hand, sipping wine and examining the map.

Xu Du is no longer in his eyes, his gaze has extended to Wancheng, Xiangyang, Chang'an, Moling, Chengdu, as if the whole world has been like a bag to take things.

He was convinced that he would win this battle.

At this moment, his precious eldest son, Yuan Tan, may have captured Yongqiu and is rushing towards Xudu.

The conquest of Xu Ducheng is only in the past few days.

When the time comes, the nest will be broken, Su Zhe will collapse and be destroyed, and the entire Central Plains will be his Yuan Shao's.

At that time, what Dong Zhuo, what Sun Ce, what Liu Zhang, who could still be his opponent.

Dominating the world is just a matter of raising your hands.

"Su Zhe, you are a thief from a poor family, and you also want to compete with me for the world, you are really overwhelmed!"

Yuan Shao snorted sarcastically, raised his head and drank all the wine in the cup.

Seeing this, Guo Tu next to him stepped forward and said with a smile: "Right now, the eldest prince should have captured Yongqiu, and the good news is about to arrive, and Xu Du will be ready to go down soon." ”

Yuan Shao stroked his beard, and his smug expression was beyond words.

Feng Ji also complimented: "The eldest prince has the style of a lord, if he can capture Xu Du this time, he will have made the first contribution to the southern expedition." ”

Yuan Shao nodded slightly: "Tan'er is indeed like me, if he can win Xu Du this time, it is time for me to re-examine him." ”

Although he did not say it explicitly, the implication of his words was obviously implying that he had the intention of making Yuan Tan the prince.

When the interrogator and the others heard this, they couldn't help frowning.

In the big tent, Guo Tu and other Ruying strategists praised Yuan Tan to the sky.

At this moment, hurried footsteps rushed in, interrupting everyone's pride.

"My lord, Yongqiu is urgent, the Su thief personally led an army of 40,000 to increase the defense of Yongqiu City, and the eldest prince attacked the city unfavorably, but was defeated by the Su thief, and lost more than 10,000 soldiers."

In an instant, Yuan Shao only felt a thunderbolt from a sunny sky above his head, which made him dizzy, his body shook a few times, and he almost failed to stand firmly.

His originally confident and domineering expression was replaced by endless consternation in an instant.

Guo Tu, Feng Ji and other strategists on the left and right were all stunned and discolored, thinking that their ears were broken.

Guo Tu was the first to come back to his senses, and shouted at the bottom of the rest: "How is this possible, how dare the Su thief leave Guandu and take half of the soldiers and horses to Yongqiu, is he crazy?" ”

The scout was startled and hurriedly presented the information.

When Guo Tu took it and wanted to see it, Yuan Shao had already woken up, snatched it, and opened it tremblingly to take a closer look.

Then, his body shook again, and an old face froze into a puzzled expression.

It is clearly written in the intelligence that Su Zhe not only sent 40,000 soldiers and horses to Yongqiu, but also personally commanded the town.

Yuan Tanzheng also didn't believe that Su Zhe had such courage, so he rashly attacked, but was surrounded by Su Zhe's ambush and killed him by surprise.

Of course, in the battle report, Yuan Tan did not point out that he was self-righteous, ignoring the scouts' reconnaissance, and forcibly believed that Su Zhe was bluffing and had to attack the city, but said that he believed in the judgment of Frustration and decided that there could not be many troops in Yongqiu, so he would send troops to attack.

In a few words, Yuan Tan put the responsibility for the defeat on the miscalculation.

The more Yuan Shao looked at it, the more angry he became, his eyes glared at Fu Zhi, and he said angrily: "Is this your clever plan to divide the troops!" ”

As he spoke, he threw the battle report in his face.

Frustrated, his face was full of embarrassment, so he had to helplessly pick up the information, and after reading it carefully, an intriguing shock gradually welled up on his face.

"This Su Zhe has such courage to dare to send 40,000 soldiers and horses to Yongqiu to block the attack, this courage is too ......"

Frustrated with exclamation, he seemed to be deeply shocked by Su Zhe's boldness, and there was a faint sense of admiration.

After a while, he sighed helplessly: "This is indeed a mistake in my judgment, but who can make such a move in a normal person, who would ignore the official crossing barriers, ignore our hundreds of thousands of troops, and divide half of the soldiers and horses to save Yongqiu, alas......"

There was a long sigh of frustration, and there was deep helplessness in it.

At this time, Guo Tu took the opportunity to stand up and hummed: "I said earlier, don't do anything to divide the troops and plagiarize, just concentrate all my troops and horses, and attack Guandu head-on." ”

As soon as he provoked like this, Yuan Shao became more and more dissatisfied with the frustration, and glared at him fiercely.

Immediately afterwards, Feng Ji stood up again and said excitedly: "Lord, this is a great opportunity given by God to the lord, since Su Zhe dares to divide half of the soldiers and horses to Yongqiu, and the people are not in Guandu, then why don't we take the opportunity to do our best and immediately storm Guandu, we will be able to break through in one fell swoop, as long as we can win Guandu, the defeat of Yongqiu is insignificant at all." ”

Yuan Shao's body was shocked, and his face suddenly ignited with fierce murderous intent, and he said happily: "You are right, Su thief is arrogant and dares to ignore my existence, I will ask him to pay the price, and immediately send an order, and the whole army will attack Guandu for me." ”

The order was passed down, and Yan Liangwen and other generals were all eager to fight.

Fu Zhu couldn't help but say: "The lord is calm, then Su Zhe is the head of the Nine Wonders, and his wisdom is extraordinary, since he dares to divide half of his troops to Yongqiu, he should have expected that we will take the opportunity to attack his Guandu barrier, it is impossible not to be prepared, I am afraid that if we forcibly attack, we may not be able to succeed." ”

Yuan Shao was annoyed, and said proudly: "Su Zheren is not in Guandu, and half of the soldiers and horses are sent to Yongqiu, even if he takes precautions, if this is the case, I can't attack Guandu, where is my Yuan Shao's face!" ”

Frustrated and choked back, not knowing what to say.

Yuan Shao drew his sword in his hand and said sharply: "I have made up my mind, I will break Guandu at all costs, who dares to talk more, it is the same as this case." ”

The long sword was swung down, and the corner of the case was immediately broken.

Frustrated, he was shocked, he was startled, how dare he talk more, so he had to close his mouth and retreat silently.

Yuan Shao strode out of the big tent with his sword, looked at the Guandu Soviet army barrier from afar, gritted his teeth and said: "Su Zhe, I won't let you play with me again and again, this time, I will let you lift a stone and hit yourself in the foot, and let you send yourself to a dead end!" ”

……

Forty miles north of Yongqiu City, Yuan's army camped.

After the previous defeat, Yuan Jun escaped more than 40 miles in one go, and Yuan Tan dared to set up camp after confirming that he had thrown off the Soviet army's pursuers, collected the defeated soldiers, and sent a battle report of defeat to the main camp of Guandu.

Two days later, he received a letter from Yuan Shao, who did not reproach him for the crime of defeat, but only ordered him to camp on the spot and move wantonly.

Looking at the letter in his hand, Yuan Tan breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Gao Ran with appreciative eyes: "Fortunately, you reminded me in time and told me to put the blame on Fu Yu in the battle report, otherwise I would have been severely blamed by my father for this defeat." ”

Gao Ran said: "This is originally the responsibility of frustration, if it weren't for his judgment that Su Thief would not dare to divide too many troops and horses to increase the defense of Yongqiu, how could the eldest prince let go of the siege of the city, and how could he fall for Su Zhe's tricks." ”

"That's right." Yuan Tan nodded, but sighed again: "It's a pity, my father has sent a large army to attack Guandu, but I am not here, so I can't make meritorious contributions." ”

Ju Yi on the side said with relief: "The eldest prince doesn't have to worry, as soon as the official crossing is broken, the Su thief will definitely collapse, and the eldest prince can take advantage of the situation to raise troops and rush south, maybe he can capture Xu Du before the lord, and it will not be the first thing at that time." ”

Yuan Tan's eyes lit up, and his expression was new and excited.

At this time, the scout rushed in and shouted, "Lord Qiqi, the Su thief is leading a large army to kill my camp. ”

Yuan Tan's face changed immediately, and deep fear suddenly swelled up in his eyes.
