Yu Ban stood on the top of the sentry tower at the head of the city, looking at the cavalry army that was getting closer and closer in the distance, led by the burly cavalry, wearing golden armor, the big horse under the crotch was abnormal, and the big lance in his hand was extraordinary at a glance.

"General, this person is Yan Liang. Standing behind Yu Ban was a Cao army spy wearing Yuan Shao's military uniform, with a face like an ordinary old peasant, who had just withdrawn from the Liyang camp.

Seeing that Yu Ban was a little eager to look back at him, the spy bowed and continued: "General be careful, this person is by no means in vain. ”

Yan Liang stopped and gently put the gilded big lance in his hand to the field beside him, and the tip of the lance pierced deeply into the soil, and the tip of the lance fluttered red, like a flagpole.

Behind him, two knights with spears on their backs, lightly clamped the belly of the horse, and stood on both sides of Yan Liang.

What did he want to do? The Biao cavalry was nearly five hundred feet away from the city wall, and Yu Ban looked at Yan Liang in disbelief, taking the spear from the guards beside him.

Yan Liang took a deep breath, the mount under his crotch seemed to feel something, retreated slightly, and the next moment, it seemed that the man and horse were one, and with Yan Liang's loud shout, the spear with a sound wave that broke through the air pierced the sentry tower in front of him.

Yu Ban's heart was shocked, but he immediately reined in his thoughts.

The spies who looked like old peasants looked at the tip of the spear that was hovering in front of him, shining with a cold light, and his body was instantly soaked in cold sweat, trembling like chaff.

"Much more ... Thank you, General. ”

Yu Ban shook his head and said, "Go down and recuperate, be careful of typhoid fever." Then he threw his spear off the sentry tower and stuck it in the field outside the city. The spear thrown by the other party made him completely dispel his plan to go out of the city and compete with one of the four pillars of Hebei.

It's not that he is willing to bow down, but his current identity is really not to be lost.

Yu Ban is not too trustworthy and too protective of Liu Yan.

Yan Liang waved his hand slightly, and the two spear knights beside him immediately turned their horses and retreated, while a handsome knight with bright armor came to his side and stood side by side with Yan Liang.

"Xianfu, who is this?" The other party actually caught his spear, although the distance was a little farther, and the spear was exhausted when it reached the sentry tower, but it still surprised Yan Liang.

This handsome knight is Yuan Shao's three-character Yuan Shang, and with Yan Liang as his companion, he boldly followed. If it weren't for the fact that he had this favorite son of Yuan Shao by his side, Yan Liang would definitely stand so far away from the other party's walled city, throwing spears.

Yuan Shang shook his head, where did he recognize Yu Ban, the head of Cao Jun's foreign surname, was not so obvious at this time.

Of course, Yan Liang just asked casually, where did he expect this Yuan family's "prince" to know a Cao family general.

"When is Xianfu going to leave, the war is about to start, and I'm afraid that I won't be well accompanied. As Yan Liang spoke, most of the cavalry behind him dispersed, and he came out this time, mainly to bring his own guards to collect battlefield information.

Yuan Shang's brows furrowed slightly when he heard this, and then he looked at Yan Liang with a smile, and quipped: "General, are you afraid that I will make a mistake?"

Yan Liang, who had a full view of the other party's expression, still said with a serious face: "Xianfu, I am alone in the depths, the big river behind my back is unsustainable, and I meet the enemy on the battlefield, no one dares to guarantee that I will retreat with my whole body. ”

Yuan Shang was overjoyed when he heard this, the original purpose of his trip was to get close to the number one general under his father, and he was very satisfied when he saw that the other party seemed to have recognized his "orthodox" status between his words.

"Gongji's talent, unparalleled in the world, I will return to Liyang Camp tomorrow, so as not to miss my father's major event. Yuan Shang turned his horse back and exclaimed.

Yan Liang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart when he heard this, this big burden that suddenly appeared was finally leaving. He wasn't perfunctory to Yuan Shang just now, and of course he didn't particularly like Yuan Shang, but among Yuan Shao's three sons, this youngest son was a bit tolerant.

In the White Horse Guard's Mansion, Liu Yan was dressed in civilian clothes and wrote official documents on the copywriting in the study.

If Shen Jie was here, he would definitely be surprised, what was on the copywriting of this Dongjun Taishou was not bamboo slips, but white paper of extremely high quality that should not belong to this era.

"Taishou, Yuan Shaojun threw a spear at General Yu, who was standing on the sentry tower, and left. A servant opened the curtain and walked up to Liu Yan and bowed.

Liu Yan paused slightly when he heard this, and then said while writing: "How does Wen Ze react?"

General Yu caught the spear and watched the cavalry leave.

Hearing this, Liu Yan sighed and said, "Wen Ze's art of war and martial arts are all good, but it's a pity that he lacks a little courage. ”

Regarding Liu Yan's comment on the ban, the attendant naturally didn't dare to say anything.

"Go down. ”

"Yes. ”

Liu Yan glanced at the back of the attendant who was gradually moving away, and then took out another piece of white paper and wrote on it:

- The white horse is in an emergency, and the lord is quick to help.

。。。。。。

In the mansion of Nanguan in Xudu City, Cao Cao, who was wearing a high crown and a black coat, stood in his own courtyard, waved his sleeves slightly, and watched the gray carrier pigeon fly into the clouds again, and then withdrew his gaze. Cao Cao looked at the small paper scroll in his hand, the carrier pigeon was from Liu Yan, the Taishou of Dongjun, and he could know what was written inside without opening the paper scroll.

Behind Cao Cao stood a white-clothed strategist, who was Cao Mengde's mastermind Xun You.

"Yuan Shao is based on both sides of the river, and the soldiers of our army are not accustomed to water warfare, can Mr. have a good strategy to teach me?"

Looking at Cao Cao with a sad face, Xun You said with a relaxed face: "Meng De has few soldiers, so he can feign an attack on Yanjin and send another general to take Yan Liang directly." ”

"How to fool Yuan Shao?"

"Gong Cao went in person, why worry about Yuan Benchu not taking the bait?"

Cao Cao nodded when he heard this, his brows stretched slightly, and then he looked at Xun You and continued: "Su asked Yan Liang and Wen Chou to win the three armies, Yan Liang's name is still before Wen Chou, who is worthy of the heavy task of breaking the enemy?"

"The lord has his own choice in his heart. Xun You looked at Cao Cao with a smile.

"Although Yun Chang has a brave reputation, but Yan Gongji is powerful in Hebei, I still don't feel at ease," Cao Cao thought about it, and looked at Xun Yu with some hesitation, "And Liu Xuande is deep in Yuan Shao's camp at this time... ”

The expression on Xun You's face quickly became serious, and he bent down towards Cao Cao and said: "Lord, even if a good general is rare, if the white horse is lost, the door of Xu Du will be wide open, this is a matter of life and death, and there is no room for loss." ”。

Seeing that Cao Cao seemed to be hesitating, Xun You continued: "You can send Wenyuan and Gongming to go with you, as long as Yuan Benchu divides his troops to Yanjin, this battle will be foolproof!"

"Okay, just according to the gentleman's words. Cao Cao gently unfolded the scroll of paper in his hand, then threw it casually, and said to the servant who had been standing beside him, "Order the ministers, immediately go to the court to discuss matters." ”
