"Lord, the matter is done!" Ye Zhao collected his troops and set up camp, Yuan Shu was blocked in Yique Pass at the moment, I am afraid that I can't take this road in the past, Yique Pass is open, there is no geographical help, and it is not easy to create today's record, when Dian Wei and Zhang Liaosan came to return to their lives, Ye Zhao was studying the map.

"Plans have changed!" Ye Zhao didn't look up, and motioned for the two of them to come to him, and under the uncertain lights, the map of the Xuanyuan Pass area had been outlined by Ye Zhao.

"My lord, what happened?" When Zhang Liao returned to the camp, he had already smelled the smell of blood, and he had been fighting in the border all the year round, and he had a wolf-like sensitivity to the blood.

"Yuan Shu blocked the way, it should have been instructed by Yuan Shao, if so, Yuan Shao may not be here soon!" Ye Zhao knocked on the table and said, "Xuanyuan, Yique, Tiger Prison, embattled!" ”

Dian Wei couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "Why is the lord afraid? How has our army ever lost? ”

Compared with Dian Wei's blind confidence, Zhang Liao was much calmer, looking at the map, his face also changed slightly: "The lord ordered us to dig a trap on the retreat road, but our army is limited, and the thief army is overwhelming, I am afraid that it will not be able to ambush in both directions." ”

"Just because you haven't lost before doesn't mean you won't lose in the future." Ye Zhao nodded in the direction of Yang Zhai and said, "Now that our army doesn't want to be besieged, there is only this way to go, but this ...... It's a dead end, unless we're willing to give up 20,000 soldiers and horses, and only take a few soldiers and horses to ride away. ”

Huaxiong ransacked Yingchuan before, and the Yangzhai area was even more of a hard-hit area, with barren people, and it was not much of a problem to retreat to Yangzhai, but if you want to take Yangzhai, the previous route will have to be invalidated, and the most important thing is that if you take Yangzhai, you will have to pass Nanyang, which is the base camp of Yuan Shu, and Ye Zhao is bringing 20,000 people, so many people cross the border, and they also carry grain and grass, and the speed of the march is bound to be limited!

also has to face the pursuit of the princes and the obstruction of the local soldiers and horses in Nanyang, and he can't be fast, but if he wants Ye Zhao to give up these 20,000 soldiers and horses, it is also impossible, this is what he trained all the way, and now he has basically become an army, giving up at this moment, he has worked hard to pay before, such a big loss, Ye Zhao has never suffered it.

Zhang Liao fell silent when he heard this, indeed, Yang Zhai seems to be a way to live, but in fact it is a dead end, Ye Zhao will be consumed alive and dead.

After a moment of silence, Ye Zhao suddenly looked at Zhang Liao and said, "How much fire oil is there in the army?" ”

Because fire oil is an important military material, almost all the fire oil in Hanoi's inventory was removed by Ye Zhao, and the fire oil used to burn the corpses before was also brought by the coalition army.

"It hasn't been used yet, but the lord wants to attack with fire?" Zhang Liao's heart moved, and he looked at Ye Zhaodao.

"So far, although I don't want to kill more, since these people insist on me to die, I can only fight against the water!" Ye Zhao nodded to a place from here to Yangzhai and said: "Here, you can set up a fire array, Wen Yuan will rest for one night, and tomorrow will go to set up a fire array, and you will have 10,000 soldiers to listen to it." ”

"It's just that this place is close to the current, and I'm afraid that the fire attack will not be effective!" Zhang Liao frowned.

Although the plan of fire attack is good, but this area from Xuanyuan Pass to Yangzhai has water flow through, and although it is not as good as the Yangtze River, but the water flow is also three or four zhang wide, it is attacked by fire, just roll on the spot, which will greatly reduce the plan of fire attack.

"There is no choice, this is the most suitable place to set up an ambush, after here, the mountain road is getting wider, it is more difficult to ambush, you need to grasp the fighter!" Ye Zhao clapped his fists, turned his head to look at Zhang Liao, and said, "As for success or failure, it depends on the will of heaven!" ”

This time it really depends on the will of heaven, before Ye Zhao hoped that the plague would not break out, but at this moment, he hoped that the plague could break out as soon as possible, but once the plague spread, it would hurt more than the enemy.

"Whoa!" Zhang Liao bowed solemnly, bowed down to receive the order, he had followed Ye Zhao for some days, and it was the first time to see Ye Zhao pinning the number of victories and defeats on the sky.

……

That night, Yuan Shao arrived at Yique Pass with a large army, Yique Pass was only more than 30 miles away from Luoyang, and it did not take much time for the army to march.

"Highway is ......" Although he was not very friendly to this younger brother, but at this moment, looking at Yuan Shu and his subordinates, Yuan Shao was also absolutely surprised.

It must be known that although the Nanyang soldiers under Yuan Shu are not elite, they are by no means comparable to the Yellow Turban Army in the past.

Yuan Shu was scolded by Ye Zhaoyin, and he was already depressed, but when he saw Yuan Shao asking, in his eyes, it was forced to look, he snorted, ignored the people who came up to say hello, turned around and went back to the camp directly, and left everyone in place.

"Back to the alliance leader, we have been calculated by the Marquis of Naning, and the soldiers have been lost!" Yuan Shu didn't answer, but his generals couldn't show Yuan Shao's face, and Zhang Xun, the general under Yuan Shu, smiled bitterly and explained in detail what happened today.

In fact, Ye Zhao only took advantage of the geographical advantage, and the strategy sounded like it was not clever in hindsight, but Yuan Shu was suppressed by Ye Zhao at that time, and then he was a little annoyed and angry, these emotional changes are the main reason for the victory or defeat of this war, and he will not be angry and raise troops, which is a very common truth in the book of war, but there are really not many people who can really do the honor and disgrace in the battle, at least Yuan Shu is definitely not like this, especially when he thinks he has an advantage.

Yuan Shao, Liu Dai and others looked at each other when they heard this, nearly 40,000 soldiers and horses fought against 5,000 enemy troops, and then suffered a big defeat, such a shameful record, no wonder Yuan Shu saw everyone embarrassed just now, this is a model of using his life to explain to the world what it means to be incompetent and exhaust the three armies.

Although I have similar thoughts in my heart, it is difficult for everyone to really say it.

Yuan Shao thought for a while, and looked at everyone: "Ye Zhao is cunning by nature, it is inevitable that he will suddenly use tricks, this time I will send troops, and we must not let him escape, Bao Xin, Yang Yuan, the two of them each led the troops and horses of the headquarters to Xuanyuan Pass overnight, to monitor Ye Zhao's movements, according to calculations, Ye Zhao's trip, there are only two ways to go, one is to retreat to Guanzhong, take refuge in Dong Thief, and the other is to go to Hanzhong to stand on his own, according to the investigation that the current Taishou Manchu in Hanzhong is recommended by Ye Zhao before the death of the first emperor, it is very likely to go here, no matter what, this Yique Pass is Ye Zhao's only way, Once Ye Zhao sends troops to this side, he will immediately inform me, if he does not move, he will not be able to leave the customs easily, and it will not be too late to wait for the arrival of the main force of our army. ”

"Whoa!" Bao Xin and Yang Yuan bowed down to receive the order when they heard this, and each of them ordered their troops and horses on the hour, and rushed to Xuanyuan Pass overnight.

"My lord, many soldiers in the army seem to have suffered from the cold." Yuan Shao stayed at Yique Pass to rest, and in the middle of the night, Jiang Qi, the general in charge of the overseer, came to Yuan Shao's room and bowed down.

"Wind chill?" Yuan Shao frowned when he heard this: "It's not uncommon for soldiers to feel cold occasionally, why bother to report it?" ”

This matter, in Yuan Shao's opinion, is indeed a trivial matter.

"But ......" Jiang Qi smiled bitterly: "There are thousands of people this time, and in addition, in addition to the soldiers of our army, the rest of the princes also have similar symptoms." ”

"How are there so many?" Yuan Shao frowned and said, "Find more healers." ”

So many people suffered from the cold, and if they didn't pay attention to it, they couldn't talk about it, Yuan Shao immediately said: "In tomorrow's battle, these people don't want to participate in the war." ”

A group of soldiers who have contracted the wind and cold go to the battlefield, not only does not help, but may become a drag, it is better to let these people stay and rest.

"Whoa!" Jiang Qi agreed, said goodbye and left.

On the other side, Cao Cao pursued Dong Zhuo but was attacked by Lu Bu, Zhang Ji, Fan Chou and others, Cao Cao had few soldiers, and the whole army that was almost killed was wiped out, and was rescued desperately by Cao Hong and Xiahou Yuan, and only brought hundreds of remnants back to the coalition camp, but Yuan Shao was gone.

After learning that Yuan Shao went to chase and kill Ye Zhao, Cao Cao couldn't help but be shocked, and said angrily: "You don't want to kill thieves to serve the country, Dong Zhuo has not been killed, but he killed his allies in turn, what is the reason?" ”

"Meng De is angry, this is the decision of the alliance leader, and the Marquis of Naning Township is also suspected of collaborating with the enemy." Tao Qian stepped forward to persuade.

When Cao Cao heard this, he didn't know why in his heart, and suddenly a very depressed feeling arose, whether Ye Zhao was suspected of collaborating with the enemy or not for the time being, but Yuan Shao's behavior could definitely be regarded as a personal vendetta of the communiqué, and what he didn't expect was that there were so many princes who supported him?

Is this big man really as Xiu Ming said...... It's hopeless, Ye Zhao is right?

Cao Cao fell into an unspeakable confusion for a while, and the princes felt a little guilty when they saw his tragic situation.

"My lord, there are many soldiers in the army who have contracted the cold." was about to say something, but saw Tao Qian's department rushing Cao Bao and said to Tao Qian.

"What's the use of telling me to find a healer?" Tao Qian frowned.

"There are too many people, and there are not enough military doctors." Cao Bao shook his head.

Several other princes also received reports from their subordinates one after another, and a large number of people infected with wind and cold appeared in the army, which puzzled the princes.

"How come there are so many people who suffer from the wind and cold all at once?" Tao Qian, Zhang Miao, Zhang Chao and others discussed a lot.

Cao Cao on the side thought of something, and suddenly felt a cold hand and feet, turned his head and grabbed Cao Bao who was leaving: "Quick, take me to see!" ”

"This ......" Cao Bao looked at Tao Qian with some embarrassment.

"How could Meng De be so interested?" Tao Qian couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "It's okay, you and I will go together." ”

When the group entered the barracks, a foul smell rushed to their faces, causing everyone present to frown.

Cao Cao looked at the weak soldiers, stepped forward and rolled the eyelids of a Xuzhou soldier, shrank his hand as if he was burned, and staggered back a few steps.

"Mengde, what's the alarm?" Several princes hurriedly stepped forward to support Cao Cao.

"Plague...... The plague was clearly said by Xiu! Cao Cao muttered.

"What!?" Tao Qian and the others were shocked when they heard this, this is not a joke.

"Quick! Isolate these people, forbid anyone to come close, and kill those who violate the order! Thinking of the content recorded in Ye Zhao's book, Cao Cao hurriedly shouted.
