Yuan Shao led an army of 30,000 to the south, with Yan Liangwen Chou, Zhang He Gaolan as the general, and Xu Youfeng as the military division, and the troops entered Qihe County, Jizhou Plain County. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Qihe County is located on the border of Pingyuan County, and to the south is Yanzhou Jibei County, and Qihe River is its boundary.

With an army of 30,000, the small city of Qi River was naturally stationed, so Yuan Shao made the soldiers and horses cross the Qi River and came to the territory of Dongjun. Yuan Shao set up camp in the south of the Qi River, and the camp of 30,000 soldiers and horses stretched for several miles in the wilderness, which was magnificent.

Because Yuan Shao went south, he heard that there were 10,000 soldiers and horses led by Zhao Kuangyin's general Cao Bin in Jibei, and he had just killed 10,000 Yellow Turban young soldiers. Afraid of its strength, Yuan Shao did not rush for a while, and had Liu Wei's holy purpose. Yanzhou is like what he has in his pocket, and at Xu You's suggestion, Yuan Shao will garrison troops south of the Qi River to respond to all changes.

Yuan Shao camp! Yuan Shao sat in the main seat, and the surrounding generals Yan Liangwen Chou, Han Meng, Chun Yuqiong, Zhang He, Gao Lan and others, on the right were the military advisors Xu You, Feng Ji, and then there were some military masters, grain and grass officers and others, and Guo Tu stayed in Jizhou.

"Lord, we have been here for more than two days, and the soldiers have already been gearing up, wanting to attack the city and plunder the land, and the last general Yan Liang will go to battle!" Yan Lianghu clenched his fists and surrendered his hands to fight.

"My lord, you have to wait a few days!" Xu You hurriedly stopped.

Yuan Shao asked, "Why not?" ”

"There are two reasons, one is the grain and grass, now the lord is in the border of Yanzhou, the grain and grass are in the rear, and they have not yet arrived. Now it is the rainy season, if you attack the city and plunder the land, it suddenly rains, and the grain and grass cannot reach, so what can you do? We have to wait for a large amount of grain and grass to arrive! ”

"Second, it is the terrain, we are not familiar with the terrain of Yanzhou Jibei, but Zhao Kuangyin's soldiers and horses can walk with their eyes closed. We should first familiarize ourselves with the terrain to avoid being ambushed by enemy troops in the battle! ”

After Xu You finished speaking at two o'clock, Yuan Shao nodded again and again when he heard it, and even Yan Liang retreated, giving up the idea of asking for battle. The battle between the two armies is not just a matter of being strong, but more important is the grain and grass and adapting measures to local conditions. Xu You's proposition is to play steadily and steadily.

"Ziyuan is reasonable, according to what Ziyuan said, waiting for a large amount of grain and grass to arrive, during this time, you will train your troops diligently and send scouts to survey the terrain!" Yuan Shao accepted Xu You's opinion and gave the order.

"Oh? The lord is slow, in the next view, Xu Ziyuan's words are the woman's opinion! Feng Ji, who was bowing his head, got up and arched his hand.

"Feng Ji, you ......" Xu You suddenly glared angrily, and refuted it, but Feng Ji's words were slanderous, obviously attacking.

The two strategists under his command have always had the same opinion, but this time it is rare to disagree, Yuan Shao hurriedly asked: "Tell me, what Ziyuan said is the woman's opinion?" ”

Xu You's eyes were full of displeasure, and looking at Feng Ji's rebuttals, he saw Feng Ji say proudly: "Lord, now that the morale of the generals under the command of the lord is winning, it is an opportunity to attack in one go, and after a long time, the morale will gradually fail." And Zhao Kuangyin's side will have more time to prepare, so that he is fully prepared and wants to go south, it will be troublesome! ”

"As for the weather, it's even more nonsense, now the sun is shining for a few days, the lord is attacking, and the grain and grass can arrive in two days!" Feng Ji's face was full of contemptuous smiles, and he looked at Xu You with a smile and said, "So my lord, now you should go all the way, wave your troops and horses south, and take Yanzhou in one fell swoop!" ”

As soon as Feng Ji's words came out, Yuan Shaozheng considered it, and only heard Xu You laugh and said: "Haha, you are really a scholar, can you know the allusions on paper?" Yanzhou is a state, huh? Zhao Kuangyin also has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command, not to mention that he just slaughtered 10,000 yellow turbans a few days ago, it will definitely not be a rabble, you said that you will take it in one fell swoop, how to take it? ”

Xu You sneered and asked, Feng Ji's face turned pale and defended: "The lord carries the edict of the Son of Heaven to attack and rebel, and Zhao Kuangyin should be able to win in one battle!" ”

Xu You didn't give in, and said-for-tat: "Win in one battle? It is easy to say, although we have the edict of the Son of Heaven, we occupy the righteousness. But don't forget, Zhao Kuangyin is now crusading against the Yellow Turbans, they are winning the hearts of the people, if Zhao Kuangyin ignores the Yellow Turbans and pours troops to attack us. I don't know if it will be successful or not, but once it is delayed for a long time, the Yanzhou Yellow Turban will become a disaster, who is to blame the people? It's us, and when the time comes, we will defeat Zhao Kuangyin, what's the use of this unpopular Yanzhou? ”

"Yanzhou is a rich land, so the lord takes it, if Yanzhou is ravaged by the yellow turban, what use will it be? Since you said that the lord has a great righteousness and has an advantage in strength, it is better to wait for Zhao Kuangyin to solve the yellow scarf, raise troops to attack, and then rely on the advantage to win step by step. In this way, the yellow scarf behind him must be in chaos again, Zhao Kuangyin hesitated and was in a dilemma, the lord took advantage of this to defeat him, and won the hearts of the people in subduing the yellow scarf! ”

"Wonderful!" Yuan Shao listened to the applause and complained: "Ziyuan, why didn't you know these truths before? Every Ji Xiu's words, everything is far away! Let Zhao Kuangyin solve the Yellow Turban dispute, if he goes north to attack me, the Yellow Turban will definitely rebel, and I will have one more reinforcement. If he attacks me, he will leave the people behind to defend against me, and then he will be unpopular! What Ziyuan said is reasonable! ”

"The lord is wise, this will not be deceived by scholars who talk on paper, so I didn't say these truths clearly!" Xu You praised Yuan Shao, and looked at Feng Ji proudly. Feng Ji looked at Xu You's smug appearance, and his teeth were itching with anger.

And Yuan Shao's camp was only a few dozen miles south of Lu County, where Cao Bin marched 10,000 and stationed here to guard against Yuan Shao's army. Lu County is close to the plain, and if Yuan Shao wants to go south, Lu County will bear the brunt of it.

The spies reported that Yuan Shao's army crossed the Qi River and camped on their backs, shouting in the camp every day, but they did not take the initiative to attack. Cao Cao summoned Cao Ren and Xu Chu to discuss.

"Yuan Shao camped with his back to the water, only training soldiers every day, but not fighting, what is his plan?" Cao Bin asked.

Cao Ren pondered: "Our army has set up a defensive line in the area of Lu County, but Yuan Shao does not attack, this is planning to wait for grain and grass, prepare to survey the terrain, and attack slowly!" ”

Cao Bin patted the table and said: "Hmph, our army is strong, we have been trained for more than two years, and we are already elite, we are not afraid of his strong attack, we are afraid that he will slowly figure it out, we can't afford to delay!" Yanzhou was ravaged by the Yellow Turban, and only Taishan County supported the grain and grass in a short time, and if the Yellow Turban was subdued, it would have to invest a lot of money! If Yuan Shao is stationed for a year and a half, he has the support of Jizhou, the largest state in the world, we are afraid that it will collapse early! ”

"General, since he refuses to go to war, in order to wait for food and grass, I am afraid that if I don't know the strength of our army, he will definitely be unprepared, so it is better for me to lead the army to rob the camp at night, so as to kill his sharpness!" Xu Chu, who started with it, suggested.

Cao Bin nodded approvingly: "What Zhong Kang wants coincides with me, tonight you will lead 800 foot soldiers, note the things that ignite the fire, attack Yuan Shao's camp at night, don't seek to kill the enemy, just set fire, I am leading the army of 3,000 to meet you, Zixiao, you will stay and guard the county seat!" ”

"Yes, the last general commands!" Xu Chu and Cao Ren took the order.

Xu Chu out of the camp, then went to the headquarters of the eight hundred elite soldiers, these soldiers, most of them are young and strong in his family, each martial arts is strong, familiar with the battle array, in history Xu Chu family people because of merit also has a lot of people. These 800 people are strong and unmatched.

Order the people, Xu Chu ordered someone to prepare things to start the fire, and when it was dusk, Xu Chu took 800 soldiers to the north. Calculate the time, stay until late at night, you can rush to Yuan Shao's camp, the sky is dark, and it is difficult to be discovered by Yuan Shao's army scouts on the road.

At ten o'clock, Xu Chu approached Yuan Shao's camp with 800 soldiers.

I saw that Yuan Shao's camp stretched for several miles, and the firelight in the camp was like stars, and through the moonlight, it could be seen that the soldiers patrolling everywhere were yawning, and some were already dozing.

"Yuan Jun really neglected to take precautions, tonight I should make this miracle and inspire the world!" Looking at the camp of Yuan Shao, who was negligent in taking precautions, Xu Chu was excited. (To be continued.) )
