At the same time that Cao Shuo led his troops to capture Xiapi, Pang Tong and Sima Yi led a large army to advance towards Zhongli.

The commander Zhongli was Chen Ji, the general of the Yuan Shu Department.

As a military advisor, it was Yang Hong who accompanied him on the expedition.

When the two arrived in Zhongli, they only dared to watch the battle in Xuzhou from afar, but they did not dare to go to the aid because Cao Shuo's army was stationed in Xu County.

They didn't expect that the day after Cao Shuo rushed to Xiapi with some soldiers and horses, Pang Tong and Sima Yi led the army into Huainan and came to Zhongli.

Not daring to make an assertion, the two discussed it and sent someone back to Shouchun to report to Yuan Shu.

Upon learning that Cao Jun had entered Huainan, Yuan Shu was taken aback and hurriedly brought Li Feng, Zhang Xun and others over.

Zhang Xun, who had fought with Cao Shuo and escaped death, looked at Cao Jun's big array and licked his lips.

"General Zhang, you and Cao Zirong have had a confrontation." Looking at Cao Jun in the distance, Yuan Shu asked Zhang Xun: "Judging from the large array on the opposite side, do you think it is possible that Cao Zirong did not leave Xu County at all?" ”

"Your Majesty means that Cao Zirong is in the army?" Zhang Xun asked.

"I just suspect he's there." Yuan Shu said: "Look at the Cao army opposite, the army looks neat, not like ordinary soldiers and horses. ”

"Your Majesty." Yang Hong on the side said: "I have long heard that Cao Zirong is good at leading troops, and the scout reported that he went to Xiapi and took away the Flying Bear Battalion and the Dragon Pattern Cavalry, and now what is left is just ordinary soldiers and horses." ”

Yuan Shu gasped.

Ordinary soldiers and horses are like this, if it is the elite under Cao Shuo, I don't know what it looks like to be strong.

"Which of you has a good plan to break the enemy?" Yuan Shu asked everyone.

None of the people said a word, and Zhang Xun even lowered his head as if he was afraid of being asked.

Seeing their appearance one by one, Yuan Shu said angrily: "Just Cao Zirong scared you like this? What will you do in the future? How can I achieve great things? ”

"Your Majesty!" Li Feng, who followed Yuan Shu to Zhongli, said: "Our army is only 5,000, and the enemy army seems to have 20,000 ......."

"So what?" Yuan Shu asked, "Could it be that you want me to surrender to Cao Zirong?" ”

"Your Majesty is the Ninth Five-Year Honor, how can you surrender to Cao Zirong?" Li Feng said: "There must be a good way to break the enemy!" ”

Among the people, only Chen Ji was born as a military general, and he had never fought with Cao Shuo.

He clenched his fists and said to Yuan Shu: "Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the troops to fight with the enemy, and I also ask Your Majesty to watch the battle behind the battle." If I kill the enemy generals, and Your Majesty orders the whole army to attack, I will definitely be able to do it in one go! ”

"Or General Chen understands me!" Yuan Shuo said to everyone: "If you can share my worries like General Chen, I don't have to come to Zhongli in person!" ”

He said to Chen Ji: "General Chen, go, I will personally press the battle for you!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Chen Ji saluted and shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Order a thousand soldiers and horses, and follow me to challenge." ”

The Huainan army array walked out of a thousand soldiers, and Pang Tong and Sima Yi, who led the troops here, saw each other, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

Sima Yi said: "Gongzi went to Xiapi, and I don't know how the war is going, it seems that today we can make a contribution first!" ”

Pang Tong said: "The enemy army sent men and horses to challenge, who does Zhong Da think is the most suitable to let go to meet the battle?" ”

"Wen Changyong champions the three armies, who else can there be besides him?" Sima Yi first returned to Pang Tong, and then said to Wei Yan on the side: "General Wei, it seems that the first merit is yours!" ”

"Since following Childe, I have also made some contributions, but they are not very big." Wei Yan said: "I didn't expect Zhongli to come, but someone wanted to send me a credit." Don't worry, I'll go and get the thief's head!" ”

"How many soldiers and horses does Wen Chang want to bring?" Pang Tong asked.

"Two hundred is enough!" Wei Yan replied.

"Our army is several times more numerous than the enemy." Pang Tong smiled: "With only two hundred people, wouldn't it be too shabby?" ”

"The army stays behind, and it won't be too late for me to cut off the enemy's head and then charge out." Wei Yan replied.

"I wish Wen Changqi a victory!" Before Pang Tong could speak, Sima Yi had already bowed to Wei Yan.

"I'll go first!" Wei Yan shook the reins and shouted: "Come two hundred courageous, follow me forward to break the enemy!" ”

Wei Yan only led two hundred men to meet the battle, and Yuan Shu, who was watching the battle in the Chinese army, said: "The number of enemy troops is several times greater than that of our army, why did you only send so many men and horses in the first battle?" ”

"Everyone under Cao Zirong's command has always been arrogant!" Yang Hong said: "If they dare to despise General Chen, they are also seeking their own death!" ”

As soon as Yang Hong said this, a smile appeared on the corner of Yuan Shu's mouth.

Ever since he met Cao Shuo against the Cao family, he has never asked for benefits.

When he came to Zhongli, he didn't think that he could win too smoothly, and he was even ready to withdraw after defeat.

Who would have thought that Wei Yan was so crazy that he dared to face the 1,000 people led by Chen Ji with only two hundred people!

Wei Yan and Chen Ji led the soldiers forward slowly.

When they reached a distance where they could hear each other's shouts clearly, Chen Ji grabbed his horse and shouted to Wei Yan: "Report the name and surname of the comer, I will not kill the unknown general!" ”

"I'm Wei Yan!" Wei Yan replied: "As for what your name is, I'm not interested in knowing. You're going to be a dead man today anyway, and I'm too lazy to remember the name of a dead man. ”

"What a big breath!" Chen Ji sneered and said, "I'll cut off your head later, see if you dare to be so rampant!" ”

"How are you going to cut it?" Wei Yan smiled and asked Chen Ji, "Is it the two of us who fight alone, or do you lead the soldiers to rush to the kill?" ”

The total number of Cao's army was far greater than that of the Huainan army.

Although he brought several times more people and horses than the Cao army behind Wei Yan, Chen Ji didn't want to come up and launched a general attack, in case he angered the Cao army, they swarmed up, Zhongli's Huainan army really couldn't get any benefits!

Wei Yan proposed a heads-up, which fell into Chen Ji's hands.

He said to Wei Yan: "I brought more soldiers, you brought fewer soldiers, if I lead the army to kill, I am afraid of being ridiculed......"

"So what else is there to say?" Wei Yan interrupted him: "If you want to go head-to-head, you just have to come up!" ”

"Be careful!" Chen Ji swiped his halberd and rode his horse towards Wei Yan.

Seeing him rush out, Wei Yan also urged the war horse to meet him.

Sima Yi, who was watching the battle from afar, saw the two rushing out of each other, and said to Pang Tong: "I said why Wen Chang only brought two hundred people forward, he had long expected that the enemy would fight him alone, and it would be useless to bring many people and horses. ”

"Wen Chang is not a reckless man." Pang Tong said: "He only brought two hundred people forward, no more, no less, and he must have a comprehensive plan." ”

Pang Tong said to Dong Zhao on the side: "Please ask General Dong to pass a military order on my behalf, once General Wei leads the troops to charge, our army will attack on all fronts, and we must annihilate all the enemy troops here!" ”

Dong Zhao answered the order and went.

Wei Yan and Chen Ji rushed towards each other, seeing that the two of them were about to cross by mistake!
