Yuan Yun divided more than 1,000 people into 20 routes, and then searched to the northeast, the reason why he wanted to call in a thousand gunpowder troops was mainly because the territory of this era was too broad, and hundreds of miles of uninhabited places abounded. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

There were only about twenty of those who attacked Liu Yiyi, and trying to catch them was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

In addition, I had to greet Liu Bei and others last night, and I wasted some time, otherwise I would have caught up.

Yuan Yun rode his horse and galloped wildly all night, and it was not until the early morning of the second day that a team of men and horses sent back to the scouts, saying that they had found traces of these people in the direction of Yecheng in Yuan Shao's territory.

Yuan Yun immediately sent scouts to begin to gather his troops, and then he took the lead in galloping towards Yecheng.

By noon, more than a thousand gunpowder troops were gradually gathered, and the team that had been following behind the group of people in front kept coming back with news.

This group of people seems to be increasing in number, and now there are as many as a hundred people, and they are approaching the Yellow River, and they seem to be walking very eagerly, even if there are no horses, they can walk dozens of miles in one night, and they have no intention of stopping to rest at this moment.

After Yuan Yun knew the news, he was a little puzzled, these people were so eager to hurry, could it be that they had already found themselves chasing after them?

This question was finally answered at noon, and Li He found a fire, and it was obvious that this group of people had waited here for some time last night, so they had gathered into more than a hundred people.

Li He looked at the fire and began to wonder, and when Yuan Yun got closer, he immediately said: "This group of people is not like ordinary homeless people or deserters, they are all trained scouts, just by looking at them burying the fire here, you can guess that they are doing it easily, these are the necessary skills for scouts to live in the wild." ”

Speaking of this, Li He paused, and then picked up a piece of dirt on the fire with his scabbard, and then continued: "It's just that this fire is not completely buried, it seems that it is only half of the way, and it was stopped, it seems that they don't know that we are chasing, so they gave up hiding the traces, this person habitually dealt with it halfway, and it is estimated that he reacted, so he gave up and continued to turn over the soil to cover." ”

When Yuan Yun heard the word scout, he felt uneasy in his heart, why was it a scout who attacked Liu Yiyi? And whose scout is it?

Yuan Yun snorted, so that the other party hasn't found out that he is chasing them, this is a good thing, but he can't be too careless, after all, he has more than a thousand lives here, and at this moment, he is also thinking about the inexplicable place of development, but there can be no mistake.

At this moment, Yuan Yun had a feeling of leading the army for the first time, and there were a lot of things to worry about, not only to figure out the route of advance, but also to arrange the scouts who went out to investigate, and even to consider whether the dry food everyone was carrying was enough.

Sighing secretly, Yuan Yun couldn't help but admire Cao Ang in his heart, he had gone on the expedition with him before, and he could hardly see him busy, it turned out that he had done so much when he didn't know.

Soon, Yuan Yun sprinkled out more than fifty scouts, and checked all the sides of the road all the way forward, and the lack of experience in leading the army was insufficient, so it was necessary to make up for it with diligence, which was also Yuan Yun's so-called advance preparation, only in this way could he have a sense of security.

At this moment, Yuan Yun also had to admire the footsteps of these people, they had run so far with their legs in one night, and now they should have left Xu Du for at least more than a hundred miles.

When the last tracking team returned, the location of the opponent had been determined.

The returning military leader quickly came to Yuan Yun's side, and then arched his hand: "These people are very strange, they seem to be rushing to one place, and I am sure that they are all scouts from the army, only after receiving the military order, they will be in such a hurry, because if they are not overdue, they will be killed." ”

Yuan Yun frowned slightly, at this moment, the scouts who had spilled out returned a few, and when they arrived at the front of the army, they did not stop and sit down on their horses, but rushed to Yuan Yun's side at great speed, and then turned over and dismounted, but they were unstable and fell directly.

The scout who fell to the ground couldn't get up, so he shouted: "Yuan Hou, we have found a large army of the enemy, not to mention as many as 10,000 people. ”

Yuan Yun was startled, almost fell off his horse, stabilized his body and immediately asked, "Have you found out who it is?" ”

The scout barely got up at this moment, and replied, "It is very strange that the enemy has many halberds and heavy armor, but there are no shields, crossbows, and banners. ”

"It's not surprising, these people are Yuan Shao's halberd warriors, and the commander is Zhang Jaw, but I heard that they have been wiped out by Gongsun Zhan's White Horse Yicong, why are they here?" As soon as Li He heard the scout describe the other party's equipment, he immediately guessed the origin of the other party.

Yuan Shao?

Yuan Yun seemed to think of who was making trouble behind the scenes, and the person who attacked Liu Yiyi went to Yuan Shao's team, and he didn't have to guess to know that it must be Yuan Xi's bastard who was making trouble behind his back.

In an instant, Yuan Yun seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, knowing who the enemy was, it would be easy to do, since Yuan Xi had found it again, this time he had to let him know that it was powerful.

"Damn, Lao Tzu's women dare to move!" Yuan Yun scolded, and instantly shrunk his neck, although Liu Yiyi and himself are not clear, but they must not be said to be their own women, this is a bit crazy, not very good, haha.

Li Heke on the side didn't know the complicated relationship between his master and Liu Yiyi, but he felt that he was right, the concubine was bullied, so she had to come out.

It's just that the other party has 10,000 people, so Li He still cautiously persuaded: "Lord, the other party is powerful, we might as well shrink back to Xu Capital for the time being, so that it is more secure to have talents." ”

After Yuan Yun heard this, he began to search for the map in his mind, Yecheng is north of the Yellow River, facing Xudu in the south, as long as he crosses the Yellow River, he can drive straight in, and now it seems that this group of people seems to be hiding very cautiously, and no one found it even when they reached Xudu for a hundred miles.

After carefully observing the surrounding area, now that there are wars, the population has dropped sharply, and the wild and desolate land is increasing day by day, it is not surprising that 10,000 people suddenly appear anywhere if it is not specially prepared.

What exactly is the purpose of these people? This is the most important thing, is it preparing to attack Xudu? If this is the case, then I have to admire Yuan Shao's courage, they all say that he is constantly plotting, if Zhang Jaw really came to attack Xu Du, then Yuan Shao is a very decisive person.

In this era, there were no so-called professional soldiers, and the garrison in peacetime was also like a military service, which was carried out in turns, and the standing army of Xudu was only 2,000.

Now Xu Du is spring ploughing, so half of the two thousand garrison soldiers have been disarmed and returned to the field, if a team of 10,000 elite infantry suddenly appears, maybe Xu Du can really be taken, but not for long.

Yuan Shao's purpose is probably not long-lasting, but wants to take down Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty, then burn Xudu, and then withdraw to the north of the Yellow River, relying on natural danger to refuse, if this is the case, Cao Cao is helpless.

10,000 people, so many people appeared, Cao Cao didn't even notice it, isn't it too strange? If Cao Cao was really so imprudent, how could the Battle of Guandu be victorious?

Terrain! Terrain! Good terrain!

Yuan Yun silently read it a few times in his heart, and immediately began to rummage through the nearby map to see if there was any advantageous terrain that could be used, if there was, he was ready to make a big ticket, even if he couldn't eliminate the other party, at least he could give the other party a dismount, only in this way could it play a deterrent role, so that Zhang Jaw did not dare to rush forward, and Xu Du had enough time to arm.

Suddenly, Yuan Yun smiled on his face, and he had already discovered a tributary of the Yellow River, which happened to be upstream of the camping at this moment.

Thinking of this, Yuan Yun's face immediately turned cold, and said: "We can't retreat, since they dare to send people to assassinate, Lao Tzu will dare to kill countless people!" ”

Zhang Jaw seemed to be very eager to march, so he chose more easy roads, only the natural river was the smoothest on both sides, so he went all the way down the river, and also chose to camp at the edge of the river.

If he could blow up the river upstream, Yuan Yun would be sure to repeat the battle situation in Xiapi, and this time Zhang Jaw was not protected by a tall city wall.

"Send a team of scouts back to Xudu to report the news, and the rest of the people will check the equipment to see how many gunpowder shells we have brought." Yuan Yun gave an order.

Li He was stunned when he heard this, and wanted to persuade him again, but he was pulled by Shi Shen, Li He had only been here for a short time, and he didn't know the power of gunpowder, so when Yuan Yun made this decision, except for Li He and the others, who were a little worried, those gunpowder troops were all gearing up.

After a short time, a group of scouts left all the gunpowder shells they were carrying, and then each returned to Xudu lightly with two pack horses.

At this time, those military leaders already knew what was going on, so when they heard that Yuan Yun wanted to check the number of firearms, everyone reported it, and when Yuan Yun collected the number of all the firearms, he was suddenly shocked in his heart.

Damn, is Cao Ang crazy? Lao Tzu is just here to chase a gang of murderers, why did he let this gang of gunpowder soldiers travel with full loads? Some bastards even brought several times as many firearms, no wonder the tired saliva of the horses spat out on the night rush.

Seeing Yuan Yun's puzzled eyes, a team member smiled awkwardly, and then explained: "Yuan Hou, we were restricted from using these gunpowder bullets when we were defending the city before, and the brothers were very depressed. ”

Firecrackers your sister, why do you always encounter a group of outlaws, if you really want to investigate, then the problem lies with Cao Ang, so what kind of general you say, what kind of soldier you have.

Yuan Yun's cheeks twitched, he really didn't know whether to praise these talents, or to scold them, more than a thousand people brought as many firearms, even if it was to smooth out a mountain, there was no problem.

Thinking that he had been running with these dangerous things all night, Yuan Yun shuddered a little, bastard, all of them looked like Cao Ang, and when he saw the gunpowder, he immediately became very excited.

Sighing secretly, Yuan Yunlang said, "Let's bypass the enemy camp in front of us, and then go to the upstream position." ”

With an order, the whole army immediately gathered and galloped out with Yuan Yun.
