The change in things was beyond everyone's expectations, and the originally tense situation suddenly became harmonious, and the brothers who were cold and cold became talking and laughing.

"A thousand cups of wine for a confidant", the Yuan brothers drank bitterly, and did not reluctantly disperse the wine feast until the afternoon. Of course, the so-called confidant may just be just the appearance of seeing, and when Yuan Mai secretly rejoiced in his heart that he could use Yuan Tan, Yuan Tan may not think like this.

Yuan Tan left the Prime Minister's Mansion and ordered the Qingzhou soldiers to camp outside the city, rest for a day, and make plans tomorrow.

Yuan Mai fought for most of the night last night, and he was also exhausted against the two beautiful girls. returned to the cave room and fell asleep, and was not awakened by Du Shi until the time of the lamp: "Husband, why don't you get up and eat?" Delaying eating and drinking because of alcoholism is not good for the body! ”

Yuan Mai rubbed his sleepy eyes and got up from the bed. Du Shi thoughtfully took a towel to help him wash his face and comb his hair, caring for him, this feeling made Yuan Mai enjoy it very much, if it weren't for his own crossing, this beautiful woman was serving a generation of heroes Cao Cao!

After dinner, I turned off the lights and went to bed.

After all, if you are a guest at someone else's house, you can only have a bed, and the husband and wife still share the same bed. Although Lu Lingqi was extremely reluctant in her heart, she was helpless, and the appearance of being fucked last night had been fully seen by the Du family, and there was nothing to be ashamed of, so she could only follow her husband's orders.

Newlywed Yan'er, flower candles in the cave room. Yuan Sigongzi naturally had to toss around, only the Du family, who had been in drought for a long time, was as happy as a fish in water, and Lu Lingqi, who was in the beginning of blooming, also sang in a low voice. One night of Wushan clouds and rain, indescribably unhappy!

The next day, the soldiers came early to report, "Lord Assassin Shi invited General Yuan to the barracks to talk, there is something important to discuss!" ”

Yuan Mai hurriedly pulled out of the gentle township, washed up under the service of the Du family, put on a military uniform, hung the "Chongxiao Sword" on his waist, turned over and rode on the "Piercing Cloud Wuqi", took Zhou Cang and other guards, and went straight to the Yuan Tan camp outside the city.

"Cao Junbing committed Langya. Alone in the depths. clearly did not put my Yuan family in his eyes. Xian Yongdang helped me lead the army to the south and retreat Cao's soldiers! After meeting Yuan Mai, Yuan Tan put forward his request straight to the point.

In Yuan Mai's heart, he also wanted to see the real combat effectiveness of Cao Jun. An ambush was launched in the valley before. did not face off with Cao Jun. Therefore, Yuan Mai is still very unfamiliar with the combat effectiveness of Cao Cao's subordinates, who may become his biggest competitor in the future.

What's more, I heard that among the soldiers who committed Langya this time was Cao Jun's ace troop - Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

Therefore, Yuan Mai wanted to see the strongest and most elite combat power of this Cao army. How tough is it? Let's see if we can find the shortcomings and flaws of this army, and strive to defeat it in the battle of Guandu in the future, so as not to let this team influence the trend of this big battle.

In recent days, Yuan Mai has been bothering about the battle of Guandu. Although there were some changes in the small details, Cao Cao still pacified Wancheng and Xuzhou, and it was only a matter of time before Gongsun Zhan, who was trapped in the lonely city of Yijing, fell. If there are no major changes, it is estimated that it will not be long before the battle of Guandu, which determines who is the future overlord of the north, is likely to come as scheduled.

In Yuan Mai's heart, the Yuan family can lose the battle of Guandu, but it must not be defeated, if the Yuan family falls, Cao Cao's rise will be unstoppable. As Yuan Shao's heir, his development will inevitably be strongly curbed by Cao Cao. It is good to enjoy the shade under the big tree, which is not as smooth as hiding under Yuan Shao's wings and growing silently.

In Yuan Mai's heart, the most beneficial outcome of the battle of Guandu was that both sides lost. Cao Cao's vitality was frustrated, and he was bound to retreat across the Yellow River and recuperate for a year and a half; And after Yuan Shao lost his troops, he should rely more on himself, and when the time comes, he can take the opportunity to claim territory and expand his strength.

Of course, in order to realize his wishful thinking, Yuan Mai must ensure that he is alone in this war, not only not angering Yuan Shao because of being a bystander, but also not being severely injured by Cao's army, and ensuring that his military strength will not be lost. In this way, we can get the maximum benefits from this great war that shocks the past and the present.

"Cao Jun's in-depth entry into Langya was caused by his younger brother. Assisting my brother in expelling Cao Bing is naturally duty-bound, and I am willing to obey my brother's dispatch! Yuan Mai impassionedly agreed.

The two brothers stopped their deliberations, leaving 5,000 county soldiers to defend the city, Yuan Tan's 20,000 Qingzhou soldiers on the left flank, and Yuan Mai's 11,000 men and horses on the right flank, leaving Kaiyang City and rushing towards Cao Ying, fifty miles to the south.

The autumn is high and cool, and the 30,000 army is like a long dragon to the south, and the flag covers the sky and the sun, and the momentum is magnificent.

Zhang Liao had a black-maned horse under his crotch and a Yunyue knife in his hand, and quietly caught up with Yuan Mai, and suggested: "I have been confronting Cao Jun in Xuzhou for some days, and I know a little about Cao Jun's situation. Half of its infantry was incorporated from the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, and its combat strength was average. But the cavalry of the Cao army was elite and the impact was amazing. Our army is all foot soldiers, if you can't resist it, you will inevitably suffer heavy losses when you retreat, Liao believes that you should set up an ambush again in the front valley, in case the Cao cavalry pursues when you retreat! ”

Yuan Mai obeyed and ordered Lu Yi to bring 4,000 people to ambush in advance on both sides of the valley where Cao soldiers had been ambushed last time, and when the Cao army was pursuing, he would beat the drum and kill it again to stop the pursuit of the Cao army.

The news of the attack of the Qingzhou soldiers flew into the Cao camp, and several generals of the Cao army decided to meet the battle after discussion. Li Dian led 5,000 people to garrison the camp, Cao Chun and Xu Chu led 6,000 tiger and leopard cavalry in the center, Cao Xiu led 6,000 light cavalry on the right, and Xu Huang led 5,000 infantry on the left, out of the camp to resist the enemy.

The two armies met in a narrow way, shot down random arrows, and lined up in their own formations. In the wilderness, the trumpets sounded, the drums shook the sky, and the murderous spirit was awe-inspiring.

Looking at the black pressure of the Cao army cavalry, Yuan Mai had a headache. Damn, how did Cao Jun's cavalry come here so much?

According to the information provided by Zhen Yao, the total number of cavalry under Cao Cao was about 30,000. But looking at the number of cavalry in front of him, at least not less than 10,000, it can be seen that Cao Cao hated the matter of the surrender of Koji Yi to the core, otherwise he would not have invested such a huge cavalry corps to pursue the territory of Langya.

In the middle, a group of people and horses, the banner of "tiger and leopard" is waving in the wind, and the hunting sound is spectacular.

From knights to war horses, all are black armor, war horses are strong, and knights are burly; Each man was armed with a changge, a machete, and bows and arrows hung from his saddle. Every 500 horses are in a column, lined up in a line, divided into 12 columns, the queue is neat, and the military discipline is strict.

"Shhh...... Is this the Tiger and Par Ride? Look at this military discipline, it is indeed an elite division! ”

Looking at Cao Jun's "tiger and leopard ride" opposite, Yuan Mai couldn't help but gasp. In terms of preparation and scale, it is comparable to the newly built cavalry under his command. It's just that what Yuan Mai doesn't know is that this team is not a real tiger and leopard horse, but just a "heavy cavalry" riding with tigers and leopards, which can also be said to be the echelon of tiger and leopard riding.

The number of real "tigers and leopards" under Cao Cao's command is only 2,000, all of which are carefully selected, and everyone has the ability to be one as ten. A third of them were transferred directly from the position of centurion to the tiger and leopard riders, and the rest did not hold the position of centurion, but their skills were not below these centurions.

When the tiger and leopard cavalry selected soldiers, Cao Chun was in charge, and he had to try each soldier himself before deciding to retain or send them back to the barracks, so the combat effectiveness of the tiger and leopard cavalry could be guaranteed to the greatest extent, so that this team could become the trump card division of the Cao army.

It's just that Cao Cao will not easily put this army into the battlefield, and more will let the "heavy armored cavalry" trained by Cao Xiu go around under the banner of tiger and leopard cavalry, and the expansion of the tiger and leopard cavalry in the future is also selected from this reserve team. Therefore, the "tiger and leopard horse" that appeared in front of Yuan Mai was only an echelon at best, and its combat effectiveness was far inferior to the real "tiger and leopard horse".

But even so, it has already amazed Yuan Mai. Suddenly it occurred to me that so far, I have not created a trump card army with my own brand, Cao Cao has tiger and leopard cavalry, tiger camp, Gongsun Zhan has white horse Yicong, Zhang He has a halberd soldier, Gao Shun has a trap camp, Liu Bei has a white ear soldier, it seems that it is time to create an elite army with its own brand!
