When Yuan Xi went south and turned back, Zhang He had also escorted the grain and grass to the north, and the two met near Yuanshi.

In order to chase Gongsun Zhan, the Yuan army was divided, and at this time, Yuan Shao gave an order, and all the troops were assembled on the spot. This slows down the pace all of a sudden. Along the way, there were people in each unit who escaped, probably halfway through and slipped back home. The large number of people, some of whom fled one or two, some of whom fled in whole groups, and some of whom fled halfway and were intercepted, greatly increased the difficulty of the organization. In the end, it was Zhang He's side that was the most neatly organized.

"The boss said, let you go to the front."

When Yuan Xi found Zhang He, Zhang He was about to come out of the bird, but when he heard the "good news", the expression on his face remained unchanged, and he said lightly: "Just me, a halberd soldier, go to Yijing to attack the city?" ”

When he was used to being in the army, Zhang He would never have thought that he could be the main force. But the siege is a physical work, and his own men and horses are obviously prepared to deal with Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry, why did he suddenly pull them to act as siege soldiers? He looked at Yuan Xi with some suspicion, but Yuan Xi didn't seem to be playing tricks on him.

"Look, appointment. Leave behind the grain transport team and rush north. Concentrate on Lecheng first. ”

There is no doubt that the order was indeed given by Yuan Shao himself. Whether it's right or not, you can only do it first.

"What about the grain and grass? Who will guard it? ”

"Some of them returned to the Jieqiao barracks, and some of them went north, resupplying along the way. Rest assured, Gongsun Zhan's army has been dispersed, and there will be no more threats south of Yijing. ”

The two of them discussed it for a while, acted quickly, and the three thousand halberd warriors went north to Lecheng.

All the way to the north, the stragglers along the way were endless, and when they saw their team, they avoided far away, and there were some groups of remnants of Youzhou, who were even more frightened and took a detour. Yuan Xi and Zhang He didn't care about cleaning them up, so they hurried all the way and finally arrived in Lecheng.

Lecheng is a small city in the southwest of Yijing, originally under the jurisdiction of Gongsun Zhan, heard that Yuan Shao's army came, the county commander hurriedly opened the city gate to greet him, and offered the city. Yuan Shao personally led people into the city, while other troops were stationed around the city.

The first camp was camped on the plain south of Lecheng, although the troops were scattered, but the first camp was all elite soldiers, well-trained, not long after, the news of Yuan Shao's assembly of troops in Lecheng came out, and they all gathered together. In addition to the loss of some people, the vitality of the first camp is still there, and he has made such a great contribution that Koji Yi's name is unmatched for a while. But the strange thing is that Koji hides in the barracks every day and doesn't see outsiders, and the drill of going to the camp first has also entered the daily routine.

The other troops were not so lucky, except for those who slipped away, there were also some scenes of fighting each other for credit. In fact, these troops gained a lot in the course of the pursuit, and everywhere they went, they were like locusts, snatching up local things, and supplying them along the way. But for the deserters in Youzhou, they turned a blind eye. In the end, the number of prisoners was not much, and in order to distribute the credit after the war, some of them began to brew slowly.

Zhang He's troops were clear water, neither went into battle to kill the enemy, nor pursued and captured, and his military discipline was strict, and he did not harass the people along the way. So after arriving in Lecheng, there were noisy brother troops next to them, but they were the only ones who were deserted here.

At this time, the generals of the same faction took advantage of Yuan Shao's presence in the city, and also went to each other's military camps to connect with each other, and they often got drunk and had a hot brain. There are still people who come to Zhang He's side, but mainly to visit the second son Yuan Xi.

After the battle of the boundary bridge, the name of the second son, Yuan Xi, can be regarded as sounding. Lu Xiang, Guo Yuan and others were already convinced, and in fact, he could be regarded as having made military achievements, especially the deeds of commanding Yuan Shao's personal troops to resist the Gongsun army in the woods, which were also widely spread. said how heroic he was, and immediately with a horizontal knife, he repelled hundreds of people by himself, Yunyun. Someone questioned: "Isn't the second son a scholar, how can he also fight?" The other party will say, "What is this?" The lord is so heroic, where will the son born be sent? Maybe in terms of fighting, he is a little stronger than the eldest prince. ”

Later, I don't know who broke the news, saying that the 800-person phalanx of Koji was commanded by the second son, and the repulsion of the white horse on the same day actually had nothing to do with Koji Yi, and it was all the credit of the second son. This statement is getting more and more fierce, and some people mention that the second son once trained in the Xiandeng camp, so it is confirmed that it is as if it is true. The last few drunken generals went to Zhang He's camp to verify it.

Yuan Xi said: "Nonsense. ”

"Yes...... But someone saw it with their own eyes......"

Yuan Xi said: "It may just look more alike." ”

Although he did contribute to this matter, it was mainly due to the courage of Koji Yi and the ability of the Liangzhou veterans, he was just offering advice.

To tell the truth, at that time, Koji Yi was like meat on a chopping board, and he thought of the friendship of his brothers, so he figured out a way to help him. There is naturally credit in it, but it is a bit too much to count it all as your own. Koji Yi was also well prepared to deal with Hakuba Yoshiko. At most, I contributed 10% of the credit.

So in the face of many people's inquiries, he denied them one by one.

But the rumors are still getting deeper and deeper, and some people have personally gone to the camp to verify it. These generals are also bored, and they have been stationed here since Yuan Shao entered the city. was supposed to fight all the way, but suddenly relaxed, and it was inevitable that there was nothing to do.

Yuan Xi was worried that these rumors would be heard by Liyi, and the misunderstanding was released by himself, so he personally visited the house, and by the way, he went to the camp to see his old friends.

Koji Yi has been closed for several days, but Yuan Xi is an old friend who has been in the camp first. As soon as Lao Chen Pi saw that it was Yuan Ergongzi, he personally went up. Not long after, he was invited into the middle tent.

There was no light in the tent, and it looked groggy.

When Yuan Xi saw Koji Yi, who was as strong as a bear, he found that the other party seemed to be ten years older in a haggard manner, not only had gray hair between his sideburns, but also his movements were much slower.

"General, what's going on?"

Yuan Xi is a little incredible, he obviously won the battle, and among all the credits, his Koji Yi is obviously the most outstanding. It can be said that in the battle of Jieqiao, among all the people, he is the only one who can leave a name in history.

But Yuan Xi's heart suddenly shrank, and he had never heard much of the name of Koji Yi in history. If Ko Yi was famous in the Battle of Jieqiao, why didn't anyone remember his name, could it be that Yuan Shao later lost to Cao Cao, so his credit was obliterated? Or is it because the person who wrote the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms was from Shu?

Lu Yi sighed: "Second son, I didn't think you would come to visit me at this time?" ”

"I'm about to attack Yijing, I heard that Gongsun Chan has built a high-rise building in Yijing, which can overlook ten miles, easy to defend and difficult to attack, so I came to discuss tactics with the general."

Koji Yi said: "Hehe, what does this matter have to do with me?" ”

Yuan Xi said: "At that time, the general will definitely be the main force." ”

Koji Yi said: "Can't you see that your father is going to attack me?" ”

What the! Yuan Xi's eyes widened. Where does this start?

"Let me ask you......" Lu Yi said: "What is the position of Zhang He's team that is next to the camp first, and what direction do you think about Lu Xiang and Guo Ai's troops?" Where is Gao Lan's cavalry? Why has he not sent troops until now, and what is he waiting for? Zhang He's troops are not good at attacking cities at all, who is he using them against? He sighed heavily: "The last time I didn't rescue in time, your father held a grudge." If Gongsun Chan is caught in the end, I may still be able to survive. But alas...... Unloading the mill and killing the donkey, the rabbit and the dog cooking, I thought that I could wait until I dominated the world, and it was a big deal like Han Xin, but now that I think about it, I still overestimated your father, and he can't wait to do it now. ”

Yuan Xi's head buzzed.

When he said this, Yuan Xi realized that the Xiandeng camp had been surrounded by other troops. Although the troops were mixed with each other, they all seemed to be some distance away from the first camp. The first battalion is an infantry battalion, with a few crossbowmen mixed in at most, and does not charge like cavalry. Therefore, this distance is enough to leave a buffer, and the first camp will be trapped to death.

The seemingly casual arrangement, if you are not reminded, you will never think that there are many murderous intentions hidden in it.
