"Let's go!" Yuan Shao led his personal guards into the Chinese army, and under an order, the Yuan army that was ready to stand by should be the Yuan-Zhang coalition army, and Zhang Yang also joined with the four thousand Shangdang troops under his command, and set off to march to Jinyang.

"Ziyuan, under the anger of the lord, why is he so eager to go north? I should persuade my lord! In the middle of the army, Xun Chen asked Xu Yu with a little puzzlement and a trace of worry.

When Xu You heard this, his face showed an unnaturalness, which seemed to be difficult to speak, and he looked at Yuan Shao's side before whispering: "After Madam was sent back by Liu Yuan, the lord was furious!" ”

After speaking, Xu Yu gave Xun Chen an expression of his own experience, Xun Chen was stunned when he heard this, and immediately asked, "Why is this?" Madame......"

Speaking of this, Xun Chen shut down, as if he understood what was going on.

sighed and said: "No matter what, the lord is angry, and it is not good for the army, so it is unwise to deal with the Huns like this!" I'll have to warn my lord to be careful. ”

"This is natural, I have informed the generals and colonies, march carefully, and strictly guard against the Xia army!"

Yuan Shao made a big fanfare here, and Liu Yuan got the news as soon as possible. Yuan Shao moved unexpectedly, and he waited for such a moment, it was difficult to deal with in Qi County, but when he sent troops, he gave Liu Yuan a chance to win the battle.

Excitedly summoned the generals of the army and instructed him to meet the enemy, in Jinyang, he wanted Yuan Shao to have a good look at his Xia army.

"King, the minister doesn't understand, why did you take the initiative to return Yuan Shao's woman, but instead he led the army north?" After the others went down to prepare, Fu Gu Huaijing asked curiously.

When Liu Yuan heard this, he smiled faintly: "What Gu Zhi does is unbearable for a man, let alone a family like Yuan Shao, who values face very much?" ”

"Okay, you can go down too, this time the soldiers of the Northern Army, Lone is going to be of great use!"

"No! The king, you have to talk and count, this way, the soldiers of the Northern Army have no battle to fight, and the war knives are about to rust! Fu Gu Huaijing couldn't help but say more.

"Fight, some of them are fought by you! I just don't know if you still have the courage of the year after being a servant for a long time! Liu Yuan quietly excited.

"The king can rest assured, the minister will take the lead and take Yuan Shao's head and dedicate it to the palace!"

……

Yuan Shao urged the army all the way north, but fortunately, Xu You and other manpower persuaded him to slightly stop Yuan Shao's desperate northward advance. From Qixian to Jinyang, if you march in a hurry, you will arrive in less than a day.

However, Yuan Shao's army marched, and there were a lot of military supplies, and he had to maintain a military formation to prevent the Xia army from sneaking up, and the speed could not be as fast as he wanted.

Before he was halfway through the journey, Liu Yuan sent his cavalry to meet him. There were nearly 7,000 cavalry troops in the front army, and under the leadership of Xia generals Kebineng and Liu Qiu, they took turns to launch incursions.

When Yuan's army was heavily guarded, he released a wave of arrows from a distance, and when he was a little relaxed, he rushed up and bit him, killing and injuring dozens or hundreds of people, and retreating with one blow, not giving Yuan's army a chance to entangle.

The closer you get to the north, the more miserable it becomes. Yuan Shao had a cavalry army of more than 3,000 people under his command, and sent Gao Gan and Guo Yuan to lead the army to attack halfway, but Liu Qiu and Ke Bineng seized an opportunity to ambush them, lost five or six hundred cavalry, and returned in a hurry. In this way, if you don't dare to attack rashly, you can only shrink back and let the Xia army show off its might.

was tormented, and under the constant attack of the Xia army, Yuan Shao's heart to go north did not drop at all, but even worse. The Xia army was ordered to control the intensity of the attack and stumbled until the afternoon of the second day, when the Yuan army finally arrived at Terrier Yang City.

Terrier Yang is about forty miles southwest of Jinyang, looking at this small city, it can't even be called a city, and it is more appropriate to call it a stronghold fortress. It was obviously repaired, in which the Xia army flag was fluttering, and there were Xia soldiers guarding it.

"My lord, if you want to attack Jinyang, you must first pull out this terrier, which can be used as a stronghold for grain. Otherwise, if we rush north, once the battle is unfavorable, the defenders will take the back road, and our army will be in danger! Xu You hurriedly said.

Along the way, Xu Yu felt more and more that it was very inappropriate to go north, not to mention whether the preparations were appropriate. The big array is sharp, Xia Qi doesn't dare to impact, after all, it is just an ideal state. Yuan's army of more than 20,000 troops is simply not as tight as the 3,000 soldiers who have been training for a long time under the command of Liyi, and once they are seized by the enemy cavalry, they will not hesitate to pounce and take a bite.

This has been proven before. had the intention to persuade Yuan Shao to withdraw from the army, but every time he saw Yuan Shao's serious face, Xu You dispelled this idea.

"Order the three armies, set up camp, and attack the city tomorrow! Ordered Koji Yi to arrange guards to patrol to prevent the Xia army from sneaking attacks! "Yuan Shao has already given the order.

Yuan Shao was no longer as angry as before, and he knew that the soldiers were tired and needed to rest urgently, and the cunning enemy cavalry hidden in the shadows also had to be guarded against.

There are 2,000 foot soldiers of the Xia army in Jiaoyangyi, most of whom are Han soldiers, and Dugusheng and Yan Rou are arranged to guard here. Yuan Shao's army of more than 20,000 people came, bringing a lot of pressure to the two.

On the fortress, looking at Yuan Shaojun, who was in a state of ash outside, Dugu Sheng said to Yan Rou beside him in a deep voice: "General Yan, I am not good at defending the city, and many soldiers have not fought. The king ordered you and me to be stationed here, and please bother the general! ”

Yan Rou stood by the sword, and kept observing the Yuan army outside the city, and his face was also very serious: "General Dugu, rest assured, although Yuan Shaojun is numerous, if he wants to break through this city for a while, he will not think about it. Our army is here, but it is just to contain the enemy, how to deal with the Yuan army, the king is only afraid that he has a plan in his heart! What's more, the king also said that the terrier can abide by the rules, if not, what if it is given to Yuan Jun! ”

"The radius of Jiaoyang is only two miles, the east and south are close to the water, you and I only need to guard the west and north." Yan Rou calmly said to Dugu Sheng: "Let the soldiers rest well, tonight, the other party will not attack!" ”

"Good! Just listen to General Yan! Dugusheng waved his hand directly and said heroically. Although he was sent by Liu Yuan to be the general of this infantry army, he still had to listen to Yan Rou's advice in everything, Liu Yuan had told him before, and he was also self-aware.

More than 20,000 Yuan troops, the speed of erecting the camp is not slow, less than an hour, the prototype will be seen, and after another hour, a huge military camp will become.

To the west of Jiaoyang, outside the limit of the scope of Yuan Jun's scouts, Liu Qiu Wen Ke was able to say: "We are attacking all the way, why don't we attack while they are camping?" ”

"Yuan Jun has arrived here, let them settle down with peace of mind, otherwise they will go too far and directly frighten Yuan Shao, then the king will take you and me to blame!" Kebineng laughed.

There is a mountain in the south of Jinyang City that is Longshan, when Yuan Shaobing was in Jiaoyang, Liu Yuan also gathered the elite under his command early, quietly sneaked here, and stationed in the valley.

"King, Yuan Jun has already surrounded Terrier! Is our army attacking south? Fu Gu Huai's face was impatient.

Liu Yuan touched his chin and pondered for a while: "Don't worry, at this time, Yuan Jun must be on abnormal alert, and it is useless to attack rashly, let Ke Bineng and them play more with Yuan Shao first." The prey has already been released, as a hunter, you must be patient! ”

Looking in the direction of Terrier Yang City, Liu Yuan snorted coldly in his heart: "Yuan Shao, since you are here, then don't think about retreating!" ”
