Chapter 617: Split and Strike

This ambush soldier is none other than Zhang Yan back then. At the beginning, Zhang Yan wanted to take refuge in Cao Jun, but Zhao Fei did not let him directly join Cao Jun, but let him ambush in Jizhou and develop secretly.

Zhao Fei had always been in contact with Zhang Yan, although Zhang Yan constantly wanted to withdraw from Jizhou and return to Cao Jun's territory. But Zhao Fei has been appeasing Zhang Yan, but now, the opportunity has finally come, as long as Yuan Xi in Youzhou is defeated, then Zhang Yan will be a great achievement.

Zhang Yan got Zhao Fei's letter, and finally showed a long-lost smile, he had been hiding in this place where birds don't for so long, if he continued like this, he would be suffocated.

After waiting for so long, I finally waited for Cao Jun to send troops to Jizhou. Since joining Zhao Fei, Zhang Yan has led his soldiers to hide. According to Zhao Fei's instructions, he eliminated the old, weak, sick and disabled in the army, and left behind all the strong men.

There are two reasons for this, one is to narrow down the target. After Yuan Shao unified Hebei and defeated Gongsun Zhan, he was obviously very angry at Zhang Yan, who had helped Gongsun Zhan attack him, so he launched an attack on Zhang Yan's army. Fortunately, Zhang Yan had already hidden, and Yuan Shao searched several times but did not find Zhang Yan.

The combat effectiveness of the Cao army is obvious to all, and some old, weak, sick and disabled people can only lower the combat effectiveness of the whole army and eliminate these people in order to fundamentally solve the problem of combat effectiveness. The combat effectiveness of tens of thousands of elite and strong men is obviously stronger than that of 100,000 old, weak, sick and disabled.

Zhang Yan can also feel that there are only 30,000 soldiers under his command now, but these 30,000 people are all strong men, all of them are fierce. Moreover, after hiding in Jizhou for so long, Zhang Yan led his troops to exercise in addition to exercise, so these 30,000 strong soldiers were also held back for a long time.

For so long, Zhang Yan has always led his troops to fight against Yuan's army, and pursued the method taught to Zhang Yan by Zhao Fei, the policy of the enemy advancing and retreating, and the enemy retreating and advancing I. Although there are not many losses in this way, it feels quite bad to be chased by Yuan Jun all the time.

Now, I can finally be exposed to the world. Yuan Xi's 30,000 Yuan troops really didn't pay attention to themselves, their own soldiers were no longer what they used to be, with Yuan Xi's old, weak, sick and disabled, he was confident that he would defeat them in a short time.

Cao Jun looked at the world, and his goal was the whole of Hebei. Now Zhao Fei has led his army to land in Hebei and successfully occupied Liyang, which is the prelude to Cao's attack.

Yuan Jun swore that he had an army of 100,000, but what could this be, Yuan Shao also led an army of 100,000 to attack the Cao army, but as a result, the 100,000 army was not defeated by the Cao army, and fled back in embarrassment.

Although there are 100,000 people now, how can the patchwork soldiers be the opponent of the tough Cao army. This matter, before Yuan Jun's 100,000 army was assembled, Zhao Fei had already planned to solve it in batches, 100,000 troops, just a joke.

Yuan Shang knew so much, and when he learned that both Yuan Xi and ** would send 30,000 troops, he felt as if he was in a dream. I thought that I could lead an army of 100,000 to conquer Cao Jun, and I was like my father back then. He felt that he had regained his father's glory, of course, if he won this battle, Yuan Shang would obviously be happier, so he made a decision, that is, he personally led the army to attack in this battle.

On that day, his father Yuan Shao led an army of 100,000 to attack Cao's army, but due to the betrayal of the traitor, he was finally defeated and Guandu. Now, he wants to let Cao Jun know that he was defeated by Cao Jun because of the betrayal of traitors, and now Yuan Jun wants to confirm that Yuan Jun is necessarily stronger than Cao Jun. He wants to prove to the princes of the world that he Yuan Shang will not let the Yuan family be disgraced, and he Yuan Shang wants to rebuild the morale of the number one prince in the world when Yuan Shao was alive.

In this battle, Yuan Shang had to do his best to mobilize all the forces of the entire Jizhou. There is no room for loss in this battle, and this battle is also to prove to the world that he has the ability to take over everything from his father.

Yuan Shang was actively preparing for the war, and Zhao Fei was not idle. Zhang Fei led an army of 20,000 to attack quietly, in order to hide people's eyes and ears and confuse everyone, Zhao Fei did not let him lead the army so blatantly.

He asked all the soldiers to dress up in disguise, and then left Liyang City in batches. On the city wall of Liyang City, Zhao Fei arranged a large number of heavy people, wearing Cao Jun armor, to inspect the city wall day and night. Of course, contrary to an important point, Cao Jun sent a large number of scouts to strictly prevent Yuan Shang's inquiry.

Cao Jun's various actions gave Yuan Shang the wrong information, and the trial and Feng Ji believed that Cao Jun's move was to hold on to Liyang City and wait for Cao Cao to personally lead a large army to come to help. Of course, what convinced the others was that Xuchang City had gathered nearly 50,000 troops. Now the only thing that is lacking is grain and grass, as long as the grain and grass are sufficient, they will attack on a large scale and enter Liyang City.

Although Cao Jun has enough food and grass for the time being, there is no doubt that there are merchants everywhere in Xuchang City, and as long as Cao Jun gives an order, a large number of merchants will buy their lives. Although merchants are highly profitable, they have a low status, so they will naturally try their best to improve their status.

Now that the knife is already on the neck, the judge and the others have no chance to think about anything else. Now that ** and Yuan Xi have both led the army to send troops, if their side delays for no reason, I am afraid that the two of them will have some complaints.

Although Yuan Shang's lifeless posture was a little frowned, the trial didn't say anything after thinking about it. Now is the time of life and death, and it is understandable for Yuan Shang to do this, and even ** and Yuan Xi have made such a big effort, if Yuan Shang doesn't do something, the judge really feels that the alliance in Hebei is a bubble. Even if there is an army of 100,000 people, without a stable alliance, it will still be defeated.

I think that the princes of the Eighteen Roads jointly fought against Dong back then, although they successfully won the Tiger Prison Pass, but it was because the princes of all walks of life fought separately that everyone fought separately after winning the Tiger Prison Pass, which made Dong Zhuo burn Luoyang City.

The princes originally united to deal with Dong Zhuo, but Dong Zhuo had not been eliminated, but many princes died because of this. The trial doesn't want Hebei Yuan's to repeat the mistakes of the past, as long as Yuan Shang's side can show sincerity, I believe that ** and Yuan Xi can believe it, and then the three brothers will fight against Cao wholeheartedly.

Yuan Shang confidently led his troops to attack, he wanted to conquer Liyang City in one fell swoop, if he could, Yuan Shang also wanted to capture Zhao Fei in one fell swoop, and use Zhao Fei's blood to prove the world that Zhao Fei is nothing, and he is the one who can disturb the world.

Although Yuan Shangjun was the latest to send troops, Yecheng was the closest to Liyang, so Yuan Shang was the first to arrive in Liyang City. However, Yuan Shangke, who only had an army of 40,000, did not dare to storm Liyang City like this.

There are 30,000 Cao troops in Liyang City, and the storming of Liyang City has no effect except to send them to death. Yuan Shang stationed the army twenty miles outside Liyang City, and he wanted to wait for Yuan Xi's ** two ** armies to arrive in Liyang together, and the three armies were combined into one army to launch an attack on Liyang City.

However, what Yuan still doesn't know is that both the ** army and Yuan Xi's army are under the surveillance of Cao Jun. Zhang Fei led 20,000 soldiers to attack day and night, and they traveled day and night, in order not to be discovered by Yuan's army.

Zhang Fei already knew that the progress of the ** army was not slow, but he had to be faster than the ** army and arrive at Huguan faster.

Huguan Pass is dangerous, and it is extremely suitable for Cao Jun's sneak attack. Although this place is the territory of the state, the more this is the case, the more you can relax and arrive outside Huguan Pass as soon as possible to prepare for a surprise attack on the ** army, and your winning rate can be increased by a few points.

Of course, Zhang Yan in Jizhou does not have so much trouble, what Zhang Yan has to do is to wait for work, after all, Yuan Xi's army will arrive here sooner or later. Moreover, what Zhang Yan is best at is guerrilla warfare, so Zhang Yan obviously has nothing but nothing.

Zhang Fei led the army to hurry up, and finally arrived at Huguan before the ** army arrived at Huguan. The terrain of Huguan is treacherous, and Zhang Fei was full of emotion when he first arrived here, but Zhang Fei didn't have so much time to sigh, he had to make full preparations now and attack Gaoyan.

There is a very steep mountain road out of Huguan, and there are towering cliffs on both sides of the mountain road, which is the most suitable for sneak attacks, so Zhang Fei decided to sneak attack here**.

Zhang Fei's idea was that 10,000 soldiers would hide on both sides of the cliff, and he would lead 10,000 soldiers to garrison the pass, preventing any Yuan army from escaping from here. This place is very close to Huguan, the so-called inevitable withdrawal of the army from Huguan, Zhang Fei's primary purpose is to cut off the withdrawal of the army into Huguan.

Therefore, Zhang Fei's army looked for two boulders on both sides, the kind of boulders that were difficult for more than a dozen people to lift. For these two boulders, Zhang Fei and his soldiers spent a lot of strength, and in order not to be discovered, they had to act at night.

However, when the two boulders were placed on the cliff, Zhang Fei finally breathed a sigh of relief, with these two boulders, he could block the possibility of the ** army withdrawing to Huguan.

Time passed little by little, and the ** army finally arrived at Huguan. When you arrive at Huguan, you can have a good rest. Huguan is in a dangerous terrain, and if you rest here for a night, the ** army will have to travel day and night to support Yuan Shang.

Yuan Shang had already arrived in Liyang, and he had to wait until he arrived with Yuan Xi before besieging Liyang. Now that he has arrived at Huguan, this place is not very far from Liyang, and in a few days of day and night, he can reach Liyang and join Yuan Shang.

Feng Ji is with **, although Feng Ji is very anxious, hoping that the ** army can arrive in Liyang City as soon as possible, but Feng Ji also knows that the ** army is not idle, and the ** army here has always been an army, and there is no half of leisure.

But fortunately, the army finally arrived at Huguan, and after leaving Huguan, it would not take a few days to reach Liyang, and then the pressure on the lord would be reduced a lot, and he could rest assured a lot.

However, neither Fengji nor ** knows, there are many crises outside Huguan today, Zhang Fei has already woven a net of heaven and earth, just wait for ** to lead the army to get in, as long as ** goes in, Zhang Fei will not be able to get out.
