In the west of Gecheng, Yuan Shao restrained the war horse, took off his helmet and handed it to the guards beside him, fanned the wind with his hands, and spit out a hot and rough breath. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoIt's really hot. The most unbearable thing about summer battles is the heat, and it is really not a pleasant thing to wear a thick battle jacket on such a hot day so as not to be worn out by the armor.

Last year, we fought in the summer, and today we are fighting in the summer, and I don't know when it will end. Yuan Shao sighed secretly, suddenly feeling a little tired, and the iron armor on his body became a little heavier. He looked at the blue sky in the south, and suddenly laughed, it's a shame that this is in Hebei, if it's in Yecheng, I'm afraid it will be hotter, right?

"General?" The scout who came to report the news saw that Yuan Shao was a little absent-minded, thinking that he hadn't made it clear just now, so he hurriedly said again: "General, Gongsun Chan is in front of our army......"

"Got it." Yuan Shao waved his hand and motioned for the scout to retreat. He had heard it clearly, but he didn't take it seriously. Gongsun Chan led five or six thousand people to set up a position in the east of Katsuragi, and his intention was too obvious. That place is the place where he defeated Gongsun Chan back then, and even the direction is the same, but when Gongsun Chan wanted to leave, he stopped him. Today he wanted to go back to Yi County, but Gongsun Chan stopped him.

Yuan Shao couldn't help but want to laugh. Gongsun Chan is really overwhelmed, last time he had Jingrui cavalry in his hands, they were all defeated by me, this time with five or six thousand people, he dared to challenge my 20,000 army? If nothing else, even if I only compare the cavalry, I am much better than him. In this case, he actually wants to regain face, which is a little whimsical.

Soldiers are specialized but not expensive. Defeat him, cut off Liu Bei's arm first, and then it will be much easier to relieve the siege of Yi County.

Yuan Shao ordered the whole army to prepare for battle.

Orders were passed from the front army to the rear army. More than 20,000 people began to prepare for the war. Guo Tu of the rear army hurried over, panting and sweating profusely: "Lord." Where are the centaurs? ”

"It's not the white horse Changshi yet." Yuan Shao pursed his lips disdainfully and relayed the information he had just obtained to Guo Tu. Guo Tu drank two sips of water, wiped the oil and sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, and then reminded: "Lord, will there be fraud in this matter?" ”

"Fraud?"

\ Five thousand against twenty thousand? ”

Yuan Shao hesitated for a moment. I felt that what I had just considered seemed too simple. It's just that in front of Guo Tu, he didn't want to show his negligence, he smiled calmly: "Are you worried that Liu Bei is ambushing elsewhere, and Gongsun Chan is just a bait?" ”

"The lord is wise."

"It's okay, how can I not guard against these tricks?" Yuan Shao coughed in disguise, "I will send scouts to find out the news around." They won't be given a chance. Moreover, Liu Bei came from afar, the soldiers were tired, and the troops would not be more than us, as long as we were not negligent. They don't stand a chance. It's better to come and solve them together. ”

Guo Tu nodded again and again, at this point, his thoughts were similar to Yuan Shao's. Although I don't know how Liu Bei suddenly appeared in Yi County, I think it is nothing more than that he has been lurking in the area of Youbeiping, and when he learned that Yuan Shao had left Yi County, he moved forward with a light army and surrounded Yi County. He came quickly, and he couldn't figure out the situation for a while, so it was understandable that he was a little nervous.

Guo Tu turned around and returned to the rear. He could see from the slight changes in Yuan Shao's face just now that Yuan Shao might not have thought of these things before, and now he needed to leave time and space for Yuan Shao to remedy them, so as not to embarrass Yuan Shao. As soon as he left, Yuan Shao immediately sent scouts to investigate from all sides, and wherever it was possible to ambush a large number of soldiers and horses, he had to carefully investigate and prevent Liu Bei from having a place to hide.

While Yuan Shao was searching for Liu Bei's traces, Liu Xiu led the army to quickly pass through the Flying Fox Road.

Liu Xiu's reaction was very timely, and when the guard of the Flying Fox Plug was waiting for the results of the battle of Zhuolu in Guanzhong, Lou Lu arrived, he left the army outside the valley, and rushed to the fortress with a few personal guards to ask for a meeting. Although Frustrated Hu was cautious, he didn't expect Lou Lu to come to earn a pass, so he welcomed Lou Lu into the stopper, and just asked a few words, Lou Lu turned his face and took action to restrain Frustrated Hu. Frustrated, he was so frightened that he couldn't react effectively in a hurry. Lou Lu easily controlled the flying fox plug.

Liu Xiu got the news, and immediately led the army through the Flying Fox Road and quickly entered Jizhou. Zhao Yun led the forward 5,000 cavalry, rushed to the foot of Lunu City in one go, and happened to join Zhang Yan, who had just arrived. Zhang Yan breathed a long sigh of relief when he heard that Liu Xiu had defeated the Wuhuan people and captured the Flying Fox Plug and entered Jizhou.

"The king's use of soldiers is really unpredictable." Zhang Yan smiled and shook her head. "Not only did Yuan Shao deceive him, but even we deceived him."

Zhao Yun laughed: "Because of this, we have a chance to stop Yuan Shao. Alright, the king will be here then, will you stay and meet him, or will you join me first? ”

"Where is the general going?"

"The handsome man doesn't know. The king's purpose this time was not as simple as defeating Yuan Shao, he wanted to trap Yuan Shao around Yi County, so as not to give him the opportunity to go south for reinforcements. Yuan Shao can't move here, and he can do it in the south. ”

"North-South flank?"

"Yes, the king said that the autumn harvest is coming soon, and it is necessary to control Jizhou before the autumn harvest, so that we can feed the war with war and reduce the transportation burden of grain."

Zhang Yan was stunned, it was already the beginning of June, and Liu Xiu actually wanted to recover Jizhou in two months, this idea was too bold. Even if it is implemented according to Liu Xiu's plan and traps Yuan Shao in Yi County, what about Yecheng? Yecheng is strong, and if you want to capture Yecheng within two months, even if you use corpses to pile up, you may not be able to succeed.

Zhao Yun saw that Zhang Yan didn't believe it, and he didn't argue, to be honest, he didn't believe it either, but Liu Xiu said it with confidence, and he had no choice but to act according to the plan. "If you have any questions, you might as well ask the king. I will not delay, I must enter the predetermined position before Yuan Shao learns of our army's movements. Farewell. ”

Zhang Yan said goodbye, Zhao Yun turned over his horse, and left quickly with five thousand horses. The task given to him by Liu Xiu was to block Yuan Shao's way to retreat south and leave Yuan Shao in the river. This task is very critical, and whether or not Liu Xiu's predetermined strategy can be realized depends on whether Zhao Yun can complete the task. Although Liu Xiu said it lightly, Zhao Yun knew that he didn't dare to be careless.

Not long after leaving Lunu, Zhao Yun caught Yuan Shao's traces. He was very surprised, now that Liu Bei's army was in Yi County, Yuan Shao was not in a hurry to go back to relieve the siege of Yi County, what was he doing in Gecheng? He was puzzled, and on the one hand reported the news to Liu Xiu, and on the other hand, he led the army to rush forward, crossed the water, and went straight to Gaoyang County. At the same time, he sent people to Yan County to contact Zhang He's family.

For a while, the scouts were galloping, and news from all sides was pouring in, and Zhao Yun was constantly analyzing the news he received and figuring out possible changes during the march. When he learned that Gongsun Zhan had only brought 5,000 people to wait for Yuan Shao in Gecheng, and Liu Bei's 20,000 troops were still outside Yixian City, he suddenly understood that things had changed beyond Liu Xiu's plan.

After a short period of thought, Zhao Yun ordered the army to march northward, and stopped only twenty miles away from Gecheng, he sent a thousand men, waved more flags, and went forward five miles, pretending to be a suspicious army, and personally led the remaining four thousand Jing cavalry to hide behind.

The suspicious army arranged by Zhao Yun quickly entered the field of vision of Yuan Shao's scouts, they watched from a distance, not knowing whether it was true or not, but when they saw Zhao Yun's battle flag, they couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly sent the news to Yuan Shao.

"Zhao Yun?" Yuan Shao was taken aback. He knew Zhao Yun too well, and when he was fighting in Northern Xinjiang, Zhao Yun was deeply valued by Liu Xiu. When it comes to charging into battle, Lu Bu is the best candidate, but when it comes to arranging troops and leading the army, Zhao Yun is the first person Liu Xiu will think of. His entry into Jizhou is by no means as simple as a surprise army, and he is likely to represent a strategic intention.

"Where did he come from?" Yuan Shao was angry, and yelled at Guo Tu angrily: "Isn't he in Northern Xinjiang? ”

Guo Tu was also secretly frightened. Zhao Yun is indeed in Northern Xinjiang, this is confirmed news. He suddenly appeared in Jizhou, there are only two possibilities, one is that he quietly re-entered Jizhou from Bingzhou, as he did before, and the other is that he entered Jizhou from Youzhou through the Flying Fox Road.

If it's the former, it's just an accident, but if it's the latter...... Guo Tu was frightened into a cold sweat, and his face was a little pale.

"What's the matter with you?" Yuan Shao saw that Guo Tu's face was different, and reprimanded unhappily: "Although Zhao Yun is bright, he won't scare your guts, right?" ”

"Lord...... The lord, the minister is not afraid of Zhao Yun. Guo Tu's lips trembled, his hands and feet were numb, and the slightest coldness on the back of his neck made him feel cold: "What the minister is worried about is ...... Flying Fox Road. ”

"Flying Fox Road?" Yuan Shao was stunned for a moment, and then laughed again: "You are worried about Flying Fox Dao, how is that possible." Flying Fox Road is easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if there are tens of thousands of troops, it is impossible to conquer Flying Fox Road in a few days. You must be worried about Zhang Yan, right? Yes, these Yellow Turban thieves are indeed not credible, but don't forget, if Zhang Yan conquered Lu Nu and went north to Flying Fox Road, then Gao Ran would not have had any news until now. Since Gao Ran has no news, it means that Flying Fox Road is still safe. ”

Guo Tu thought about it and felt that Yuan Shao's analysis made sense. Since it is impossible for Flying Fox Dao to be conquered from the north, Zhang Yan will not be able to solve Gao Lan for a while, and Flying Fox Dao is naturally still in the hands of the army, so Zhao Yun suddenly appeared in Jizhou, there is only one possibility, he came from Jingcheng.

"Zhao Yun, don't look at him cautiously, he is actually very bold." Yuan Shao said to himself, "I think that these people on our right are probably just a suspicious army. Strange, Zhao Yun is here, where is Liu Bei? Could it be ......" His eyes suddenly lit up, and he turned his face to Guo Tu: "Gongze, do you think that is Liu Bei pretending?" ”

Guo Tu thought for a while and patted his thigh: "The lord is smart, it's very possible." Liu Bei is cunning, he uses Zhao Yun's battle flag to confuse us, making us mistakenly think that Song Feng has arrived in Jizhou, which is the way of using soldiers. Lord, I really thought it was Zhao Yun just now, this is ...... Alas, I'm ashamed, if it wasn't for the lord's reminder, I was almost deceived by Liu Bei. ”

Yuan Shao laughed and waved his hand generously: "This is just my guess, not necessarily the truth." Send someone to probe again. No matter how Liu Bei hides it, as long as we raise our Jing Ti, all his arrangements will be meaningless. ”

"The lord is wise." (To be continued.) If you like this work,. )
