Zhang Yuan's words were meaningful, and he didn't say much, turned around and walked away. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"He's going to ...... Want to capture Huainan? Isn't that going to war with the little prince again? ”

Atina and Lian Rouge, the mother and daughter, looked at the young figure in a daze, with a towering chest peak, violent ups and downs, and the mood could not be subdued for a long time.

Three days later, Zhang Yuan led an army of 25,000 people, including 1,000 light cavalry, 200 heavy armored iron cavalry, and almost all the elite forces, went straight to Huainan.

In order to seize Yuan Yao's main army and cross the Huai River before arriving at Xutai, Zhang Yuanqin led a light army of 10,000 foot cavalry, and traveled quickly in the starry night.

A few days later, the next phase city.

Zhang Yuan had just finished setting up camp outside the city, and was discussing the strategy of marching with Zhu Wenwu in the big tent.

At this time, the scout sent the latest information from Nanmian Xizuo, which claimed that Yuan Yao had arrived at Xutai first and completed the rendezvous with Liu Bao.

"Yuan Yao's speed is quite fast, it seems that our plan to cross the Huai River has failed......

Zhang Yuan stood up, his brows slightly condensed, and his gaze locked on the map.

Xutai is a city, located on the south bank of the Huai River, if he wants to capture this city, he must first cross the Huai River.

Previously, Liu Bao only had 5,000 soldiers and horses, and he could still rely on the advantage of more soldiers to forcibly cross the river, but now that Yuan Yao's 20,000 main force has arrived, it is not so easy to rush to cross.

"Husband, the main forces of the Yuan family are concentrated on the south bank of the Huai River, and if you want to cross the Huai River, I'm afraid it's not so easy." Mrs. Fan Lihua also frowned slightly.

Zhang Yuan smiled and waved his hands: "It's too early to make a conclusion, let's go to the Huai River first." ”

So, Zhang Yuan did not hesitate, and immediately led 10,000 vanguard troops to set off and went straight to the Huai River.

Two days later, 10,000 riders arrived at the north bank of the Huai River.

At this moment, Yuan Yao has already entered the front line of Xutai in advance, and has been in the east of Xutai City, where he has a high wine meeting all day long.

Yuan Yao obviously didn't expect that Zhang Yuan would march so fast, only leading more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and then he dared to drive south arrogantly and kill them at their doorstep.

As soon as he thought of Zhang Yuan, Yuan Yao was furious.

Thinking of the revenge of losing his eyes, Yuan Yao couldn't wait to lead the army across the river on the spot and go to fight Zhang Yuan to the death.

Hate to hate, but Yuan Yao still has a little self-knowledge, the pain of the party's fiasco is vivid, and naturally he doesn't have the courage to cross the river to face Zhang Yuan head-on.

Therefore, in order to prevent Zhang Yuannan from crossing the Huaishui River and attacking Xutai, Yuan Yao ordered the troops to closely monitor the movements of Zhang's army on the south bank of the Huai River, and always Zhun Hui blocked Zhang's army crossing the river.

On the north bank of Huaishui, Zhang Yuan stationed at Ma and looked into the distance, observing the enemy situation across the river, looking at it, his eyes couldn't help but change slightly.

"Cavalry, when did there be so many cavalry in Yuan Shu's army?" Zhang Yuan's face was quite surprised.

Cheng Zhu beside him explained: "When the son of Liu Yu was sent to Huainan, Yuan Shu forcibly detained him and threatened Liu Yu to give him a cavalry, Liu Yu loved his son, and in desperation, he had to send a cavalry of 3,000 people, so Yuan Shu was located in Huainan, but he could have a cavalry of 3,000 people. ”

I see.

The corners of Zhang Yuan's mouth raised a touch of sarcasm, "Yuan Shu, this old thief, is really brazen, this kind of shameless thing can be done, this kind of person still dares to be the emperor, it's really a joke." ”

"Since Yuan Lao Zasha has so many cavalry, why has he fought with us several times and never seen him use it?" Fan Lihua said curiously.

Cheng Chu smiled bitterly: "It's funny to say, after Yuan Shu got three thousand cavalry, he regarded it as a treasure, and he only dared to leave it in the rear to garrison, but he was reluctant to use it. ”

It's okay to do this, this Yuan Shu is really a wonderful flower......

Everyone on the left and right laughed for a while, laughing at Yuan Shu's stinginess.

Fan Lihua frowned and said: "But there are three thousand more cavalry in Yuan Shu's army in front of us, and the precautions are so tight, it will be more difficult for us to cross the river." ”

"Drunkard, what do you have in mind?" Zhang Yuan looked calm, and his eyes glanced at Gao Gong.

"In the past few months, hasn't Ling Huarong trained a strange soldier, and now it's time to come in handy." Gao Gong took a sip of wine, a sly smile on the corner of his mouth, and then moved closer and whispered a few words to Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan listened, and a cold trick appeared on his young face.

"However, there is another weakness in this strategy, that is, how to let Yuan Yao's strange soldiers land on the south bank, otherwise, it will be useless." Gao Gong added again.

Zhang Yuan played with the horsewhip and stared at the south bank thoughtfully.

After a moment of silence, the corners of Zhang Yuan's mouth rose, and a sneer flashed in his eyes again.

Zhang Yuan summoned a pro-soldier who could speak well to the front, whispered a few words to him, and ordered him to take a boat to the south bank under the banner of a messenger.

The envoy went away, but everyone on the left and right was at a loss, even wise men like Gao Gong and Cheng Chu couldn't guess what Zhang Yuan said to the envoy.

"I said, my lord, what have you explained to the messenger, tell us about it?" Li Dingguo scratched the back of his head and shouted.

Zhang Yuan smiled secretly, "The secret of heaven must not be revealed, in short, you just wait, soon Yuan Yao will take the initiative to retreat and let Huarong's strange soldiers go ashore." ”

Hearing this, everyone became more and more curious.

Li Dingguo looked even more itchy, and shouted: "Lord, what did you say, don't be mysterious, tell Lao Li about the master, suffocate me." ”

Zhang Yuan laughed, but refused to reveal it.

In a short time, the messenger of the personal soldiers had already crossed to the south bank on a ship under the banner of the messenger.

On the south bank, the layers of battle flags rolled like waves, and the swords and guns were like forests, reflecting the terrifying cold light.

More than 20,000 Huainan troops lined up on the front line on the south bank, and the murderous spirit was monstrous.

Under the banner of the word "Yuan", Yuan Yao, the eldest son of the Yuan family, was wearing silver armor and standing with a sword, and the only remaining eye shot proudly towards the north shore, and the flames of revenge flew in his eyes.

The hatred of losing his eyes is floating in his mind all the time, and Yuan Yao has been waiting for the day of revenge for too long.

Today, he finally waited for that hateful thief again.

"Zhang Yuan traitor, if you have the guts, you will force your way across the Huai River, and this prince will ask you to feed the fish in the river with a broken knife, so as to repay you for humiliating me......" Yuan Yao sneered, his expression disdainful and arrogant.

Liu Bao, who was not far away beside him, glanced at Yuan Yao's arrogant expression, and his eagle eyes flashed with a hint of disgust.

The expression disappeared in a flash, Liu Bao took a light breath, a little smile appeared on his knife-cut face, and arched his hand: "Zhang Yuan is just a humble thief, and he is not worthy of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to do it himself. (To be continued.) )
