On the battlefield of Yanzhou, lives were devastated, and the war had entered a phase of stalemate.

At the beginning, Yuan Shao approached Yanzhou under the guise of capturing thieves and saving the people, but how could Cao Cao believe it?

As a result, the two sides finally tore their faces, and Yuan Shao's troops pressed the border, but fortunately, the Xiahou brothers resisted stubbornly, and they were about to attack Chen Liu.

On the eastern front, the combined army of Liu Bei and Sun Guan was also overwhelming, based on Rencheng, approaching Changyi.

However, even so, Cao Cao still withstood the pressure and did not let the enemy advance any further.

It's just that Cao Cao also understands in his heart that if there is no other situation, his defeat will be a matter of time.

Just when Cao Cao was frustrated against the attacks of the two sides, Zhao Qian finally made a move, which made Cao Cao really breathe a sigh of relief.

With Zhao Qian leading the troops to fight, Cao Cao knew that his pressure would not be so great.

Because Zhen Mi was pregnant, Yuan Shao didn't expect Zhao Qian to go on the expedition at all, let alone that this time, Zhao Qian actually had a posture of finishing his work in one battle.

Hanoi Xu Huang and Zhang Xiu, Montenegro Zhang Yan, Youzhou Yan Rou, Xian Yufu, and Zhao Qian personally led the Chinese army, almost at the same time, launched an attack on Jizhou.

All of a sudden, Yuan Shao was attacked by the enemy on his back, and he was caught off guard on multiple fronts.

So, Yuan Shao couldn't take care of Cao Cao in Yanzhou anymore, and hurriedly returned to the army to resist Zhao Qian's attack.

So, Yuan Shao abandoned the white horse and immediately returned to the division to resist Zhao Qian, and at the same time gave an order to Yuan Tan in Rencheng to return to Qingzhou and resist Yan Rou and Xian Yufu who went south from Youzhou.

Therefore, Yuan Tan didn't care about the agreement with the Taishan thieves Sun Guan, Yin Li and Chang Xuan, and did not care about the actual alliance Liu Bei, so he directly raised troops and returned to Qingzhou from Rencheng to prepare for a big battle with Yan Rou and Xian Yufu.

Without the support of Yuan Tan, the grain, grass and weapons and equipment of the Taishan thieves lost their support, and Liu Bei's side was difficult to support the expenses of the two armies, which caused the dissatisfaction of the people of Taishan.

So, Sun Guan and others used the lack of food and grass as an excuse to retreat to Rencheng, although Liu Bei was assisted by Guan Yu and Li Jin, but he did not dare to have an army and went deep alone.

Therefore, Liu Bei garrisoned Peiguo, observed the movements, and waited for the opportunity to wait for the fighters.

After learning of this situation, Cao Cao immediately made a decision and ordered Cao Ren and Cao Chun to be stationed in Shanyang, and Li Dian and Le Jin to guard Xiayi and not act rashly.

And Cao Cao himself, led the army, and the Xiahou brothers, Yu Ban, Dian Wei and other generals, the soldiers rose to Chen Liu, and went north through the white horse to pursue Yuan Shao!

In the Central Plains, scuffles broke out.

Although Cao Cao put his main forces on pursuing Yuan Shao, he also knew that he could not pursue too much.

If you pursue too much, you have a conflict of interest with Zhao Qian, and at this time, it is obviously unwise for such a thing to happen.

Therefore, Cao Cao's main task was to respond to Zhao Qian's military campaign, and although others were on the battlefield in Jizhou, their attention was on the Eastern Front.

Just wait for Yuan Shao to lose his combat power, and it is time for him Cao Cao to return to the east and clean up Liu Bei!

Yuan Shao hurriedly returned to Jizhou, and at this time Zhao Qian had won one victory after another, and the soldiers pointed directly at Yecheng, Yuan Shao had no choice but to lead his troops to meet him.

The two armies faced each other, their respective units formed a formation, Zhao Qian led the generals, and Yuan Shao also brought his three sons and nephew Gao Gan to the front of the battle.

Zhao Qian and Yuan Shao haven't seen each other for a long time, but now that they do, they see that each other's sideburns have faintly turned white, and there are crow's feet at the corners of their eyes.

"At the beginning, I haven't seen you for many years, don't come unharmed!" Zhao Qian straddled his snow-stepping rouge horse and asked with fists.

Although Yuan Shao was old, he was still quite high-spirited, and said loudly: "Don't worry about it." ”

Zhao Qian smiled slightly, and said: "In the beginning, you were the leader of the Dong League, but now you don't obey the king's orders, why don't you stop the precipice and bow to the king's orders?" If not, the plan will be exhausted, and the knife will be on the item, and it will be too late to regret it! ”

Yuan Shao was furious when he heard this, looked back at the generals behind him, and shouted: "Who dares to go out and kill Zhao Qian in front of the battle?" ”

Yuan Shao's third son, Yuan Shang, loves martial arts on weekdays, and has long wanted to show his power in front of his father, and when Yuan Shao spoke, he immediately responded, and then brandished a double knife, Pegasus went out of the battle, and galloped back and forth in front of the two armies, but he looked like a heroic boy!

"It's Yuan Shang, Yuan Shao's youngest son!" Someone said after Zhao Qian.

Before Zhao Qian could speak, a gun came out behind him, and Zhao Qian saw that it was Xu Huang's subordinate Shi Lian, and he couldn't help frowning.

Yuan Shang saw that the enemy was about to come out of the battle, and he also waved his double swords to meet him, and the two fought in front of the two armies.

Don't look at Yuan Shang's young age, his martial arts are not bad, and he is inseparable from Shi Lian's inseparability, Yuan Shao in the formation couldn't help but nod after seeing it, obviously very satisfied with his youngest son's performance.

After another three rounds, Yuan Shang suddenly stabbed Shi Jian in the ribs, and then turned the horse and ran, Shi Jian only thought that Yuan Shang was invincible, so he naturally chased after him.

Yuan Shang heard the sound of the horse's hooves behind him, knew that Shi Jian was following behind, hung the double knife in his hand under the horse's neck, and then took out a sleeve arrow and held it in his hand.

Carrying the arrow on his shoulder and pulling the bowstring full, Yuan Shang turned over and shot on his back, and the small arrow swished and shot towards Shi Lian.

Where was Shi Jian on guard, and when he noticed it, he didn't have time to dodge, shouted, turned over and fell off the horse, everyone looked, and saw an arrow in his left eye, which penetrated through his skull, and was killed instantly.

Yuan Shang laughed proudly, Yuan Shao saw that Xiao'er was victorious, and with a wave of the long whip in his hand, a large group of men and horses behind him rushed towards Zhao Qian's army formation.

Zhao Qian was originally dissatisfied with Shi Lian's disobedience to the generals and his unauthorized appearance, but now that Shi Jian is dead, there is no way to pursue it.

Behind him, Xu Chu, Zhang Fei, Tai Shici and other generals naturally refused to lag behind, and each led his own soldiers under his command, and the two armies fought in one place.

The melee was a big killing, and both sides had losses, so they each paid their own troops and returned to the military village.

Zhao Qian returned to the tent and convened the military generals to discuss the strategy of breaking the enemy.

Zhang Fei took a step forward and said loudly: "Big brother, it's better to go to the camp tonight and kill Yuan Shao by surprise." ”

Zhao Qian shook his head slowly, did not answer, Xun You next to him smiled and said: "General Zhang, don't be impatient, there is no shortage of strategists under Yuan Shao's account, and I think I will be able to prevent us from robbing the camp." ”

"Although Yuan Shao has lost more and won less, after all, there are many soldiers and generals, if he fights and attacks brutally, although he can win, but the loss is not small." Tai Shi Ci muttered.

Zhao Qian glanced at Guo Jia, who came with the army, and said, "What is Fengxiao's plan?" ”

Guo Jia smiled slightly and said, "According to General Yide's words, rob the camp tonight!" ”

Xun You frowned, looked at Guo Jia with some incomprehension, and said, "Could it be that Feng Xiao looks down on Yuan Shaohu so much?" ”

"No, no." Guo Jia shook his head and smiled, "Raiding the camp is just the first step. ”
