Zhang Zai listened to Guo Jia's eloquent talk, and constantly admired in his heart, worthy of being the top strategist of the Three Kingdoms, this ability to recognize people, but compared to him, he can identify talents by relying on the system and the records of later generations, if he really has to rely on himself, he really doesn't know if he can gather talents.

"Then I don't know what Tian Feng's purpose is?" Zhang Zai looked at Guo Jia with interest, wanting to hear Guo Jia's speculation.

"Yuan's army of 60,000 people is coming, the number is almost three times that of us, but they don't have a general to command, I'm afraid their purpose is only to besiege us and others, and the real purpose should be Gongsun Zhan of Yi Jing." Guo Jia quickly analyzed Tian Feng's intentions, and then sighed: "Gongsun Zhan is probably more than lucky!" ”

Zhang Zai pretended to be surprised and asked: "Why, Yuan Shao's tens of thousands of troops attacked the city before, but they couldn't enter Yijing, could it be that Tian Feng was able to attack Yijing with only tens of thousands of people?" ”

Guo Jia rolled his eyes, he was helpless against Zhang Zai, the lord, he didn't believe that Zhang Zai would not know Tian Feng's ability.

Guo Jia still nodded, and then said, "This Tian Feng is really likely to capture Yi Jing." ”

When everyone heard Guo Jia's words, they turned their heads to Zhang Zai, wanting to hear what decision Zhang Zai would make.

Regarding Zhang Zai's attitude towards Gongsun Zhan, only Guo Jia knew among the people, seeing that Zhang Zai was silent for a long time, Guo Jia slandered in his heart, I am afraid that he will be a bad guy again.

Sure enough, Zhang Zai said: "This happened suddenly, Ben Jiang couldn't think of a strategy to deal with it for a while, I don't know if Fengxiao has a clever plan?" ”

I must ask for a few more jars of wine when I go back this time, otherwise I will be sorry for my reputation.

Looking at Zhang Zai, who was pretending to be deaf and dumb, Guo Jia was itching in anger, but he had no choice but to continue to play the role of the bad guy to the end.

"Jia thinks that at present, the other party's intentions are not obvious, and there is a huge disparity in troops, it is better for us to stay still for the time being, Yi Jing can still hold out for a while, if Yi Jing is really in an emergency, our camp is only ten miles away from Yi Jing, and if you want to rescue, it is still too late." Despite the slander in his heart, Guo Jia still carried the black pot for Zhang Zai.

Zhang Zai had a dilemma: "I'm afraid it's not good to do this, after all, I don't even know the other party's purpose, so I don't move, how can I explain to Brother Bo Jue?" ”

Zhang Zai's tone was abrupt, and he said, "That's it, let's test it first and find out their purpose." ”

Guo Jia secretly looked disgusted, and then said: "It's all up to the lord." ”

Several people on the side were a little surprised when they heard Zhang Zai's words, they thought that Zhang Zai would order an all-out breakthrough, even if he did not join Gongsun Zan and fight the enemy together, he would also roam outside, waiting for an opportunity to attack and kill Yuan Shao, or disrupt Yuan Shao's grain route and force him to withdraw his troops.

However, since Zhang Zai has made a decision, they can only choose to comply.

"Xue Li, Luo Cheng listened to the order and ordered the two of you to lead five thousand troops to test Yuan Jun's intentions."

"No!"

After Zhang Zai finished arranging, the generals dispersed, leaving only Guo Jia, Zhang Zai ordered people to guard the big tent, and no one was allowed to approach, and then said with a serious face: "The plan has changed, and now we have to readjust our plan." ”

Guo Jia also nodded, since he knew that the enemy's command was changing, he began to deduce various situations in the battle situation, and then constantly thought about countermeasures to maximize his own interests.

At this time, Gongsun Zhan, who learned of the abnormal movements of Yuan Shao's army, hurriedly climbed to the top of the city, and saw tens of thousands of troops surrounding Zhang Zai's camp, and it was suspected that he was going to attack Zhang Zai's camp and encircle and annihilate the northern army.

Seeing this scene, Gongsun Zhan's face suddenly changed, and he roughly estimated that the army surrounding Zhang Zai's camp was about 60,000 people, although he didn't know much about the Northern Army, but now the difference in numbers was nearly twice as much.

With Gongsun Chan ascended to the head of the city, there was also a cadre general, including Tian Yu, who went to Bingzhou to ask for help, and when he saw the crisis of the Northern Army, he immediately said to Gongsun Zhan: "Please also ask the Lord to send troops to rescue Zhang Zhengbei." ”

Gongsun Zhan's face was uncertain, he really didn't know what to do, if he wanted to lead his troops out of the city to rescue Zhang Zai, he also needed to dispatch at least 20,000 troops, and only half of the army was left in the city, if the Yuan army outside the city suddenly turned around and attacked him, then even if he and Zhang Zai could work together to defeat the 60,000 people, then he would suffer heavy losses, and how could the remaining army resist Yuan Shao's siege.

Tian Yu saw Gongsun Chan hesitating, and said eagerly: "Please also ask the lord to think twice, if the Northern Expeditionary Army is defeated, then Yijing will become a lonely city again, and it will be even more impossible to defeat Gongsun Chan." ”

Gongsun Chan gritted his teeth and ordered: "Shan Jing, order you to lead ......"

"Father, look!" Before Gongsun Chan could give an order, he was interrupted by Gongsun Xuan beside him.

Only in the direction of Yuan Shao's camp was smoke and dust billowing again, and at a glance, he knew that it was at least the dust raised by tens of thousands of people marching.

When they got closer, everyone finally saw that the number of troops covered by the smoke and dust was also fifty or sixty thousand, which was not far behind the army besieging Zhang Zai's camp.

"This ...... Yuan Shao, is this pouring out of the nest? When the people saw this army, they looked at the army in the distance, and they were dumbfounded.

"Lord, do you still want to go out of the city?" Shan Jing on the side asked in an astringent voice.

"No need, go to the other walls and prepare to meet the enemy." Gongsun Zhan decisively ordered, and by now, he no longer paid attention to the situation outside the city, but only hoped to be able to stick to Yijing and compete with Yuan Shao.

Tian Yu on the side had nothing to say, after all, his own side was also attacked by no less than the number of troops outside the city, so he could only choose to protect himself, how could he still have the strength to intervene in the war outside the city.

Moreover, the city gate that Yuan Shao and the others chose to attack was not far from the direction of Zhang Zai's camp, and if a small force went out of the city, it would be easy to be flanked, and there would really be no chance of winning.

And now that they have cut off contact with Zhang Zai, they can see the movements of Zhang Zai's camp, but Zhang Zai can't know their actions, and the two sides can't cooperate at all.

Zide, I can only wish each of us good luck!

Gongsun Zhan looked at the Yuan army under the city who was already preparing to attack the city, sighed in his heart, picked up his horse lance, and shouted: "Meet the enemy!" ”

In Zhang Zai's camp, Xue Rengui and Luo Cheng had also assembled their troops, the gate of the village slowly opened, and the two of them took the lead and led the cavalry to kill Juyi.

"Shoot the arrows!"

In the gallop, Xue Rengui ordered the troops to disperse slightly, and at a distance of 100 zhang from the Yuan army, it had already entered the range of the bow and arrow of the Northern Army, and Xue Rengui immediately ordered the archery.

It has long been known that the Northern Army is proficient in mounted archery, and the soldiers in the front row of Juyi are all equipped with large shields, and the arrows of the Northern Army have not caused them much damage.

Seeing that his bows and arrows did not cause many casualties, Xue Rengui gathered his troops again and charged towards the enemy formation.

Ju Yi's battle array command was much better than Yuan Shao's, and in order to restrain the cavalry of the Northern Army, he deliberately brought more than half of the hard crossbows in the general.

When the Northern Army entered the range of the crossbow arrows, Ju Yi divided the crossbowmen into three teams and shot the crossbow arrows in their hands in turn, but the landing points were different.

The cavalry of the Northern Expeditionary Army is the same as that of Baima Yicong, all of them are light cavalry, without heavy armor, Ju Yi's wave of ten thousand arrows fired together, and the soldiers who directly shot the Northern Expedition turned on their backs and suffered heavy losses.
