Nanpi.

Yuan Tan hurriedly walked in the house with a worried face, Yuan Shao is his father, and he has always been good to him, but after the third brother Yuan Shang was born, he often felt that he was indifferent, thinking so, Yuan Tan's resentment towards Yuan Shao in his heart was infinitely magnified, and the weak family affection was completely covered.

"Childe, why are you looking for me in such a hurry?" Xin Ping asked with his fists clenched.

"Sir, it's not good, my father may be suspicious of me, Guo Tu sent an urgent notice, my father is going to send someone to take over my military power, from now on, I will only be responsible for the governance of Qingzhou." Yuan Tan said.

"Hmm!" Xin Ping was quite surprised, his face changed, and said: "Without military power, how can the prince compete with the third son, and besides, this Qingzhou is fought hard by the son, and the lord does this, clearly to divide the rights of the son." ”

"What should I do as you see him?" Yuan Tan asked.

Xin Ping was silent for a long time, his eyes slowly became dim, suddenly, Xin Ping took a deep breath, looked around like a thief, his eyes looked around like a thief, and after holding back left and right, he calmly hugged his fists and said: "Childe, since the lord has done so much, then why should the prince be patient, the edict of the imperial court will come soon, at that time, the son is the righteous Qingzhou herd, not under the jurisdiction of Yuan Gong, the son now has an army of 50,000, although the grain and grass are insufficient, but enough to supply a month and a half, and Lu Bu echoes in Yanzhou, why don't the prince raise the flag and stand on his own." ”

Xin Ping's words are also helpless, once Yuan Tan is taken away by Yuan Shao, it will be fish and meat on the chopping board, let others slaughter, if he raises the flag and stands on his own, there may be a way to live.

Yuan Tan also wanted to be self-reliant and get over the addiction of separating the princes of one side. But I'm afraid of Yuan Shao. Know the way. Yuan Shao's Jizhou is known as the largest state in the world, and the grain and grass reserves and military sources are all first-class, and it is said that Yuan Shao can recruit millions of people with armor from Jizhou alone, which is such a strong capital.

Yuan Tan listened to Xin Ping's words, his breathing became heavy, his face flickered brightly, he was obviously moved by Xin Ping's words, and there was still a glimmer of life in his fight. If you don't fight, it's a dead end, but if you fight, is there really a way to live?

Yuan Tan thought uneasily in his heart.

"Sir, will we really be able to make it?" Yuan Tan said uneasily.

Xin Ping said in a deep voice: "This ...... I can't pack a ticket, but it's always right to fight, now the war between Yuan Gong and Gongsun Zan is stalemate, and the black mountain thief Zhang Yan has repeatedly invaded Jizhou and Merge Prefecture, Yuan Gong is facing a lot of pressure, if Gongzi raises the flag, he can send someone to secretly unite them. In this way, it is possible to form a situation of encirclement on three sides against Yuan Gong. Liang Yuan Gong didn't dare to do anything to Gongzi, maybe he would send someone to ask for peace with Gongzi.

Well, Zhang He and Gao Ran of the plains are in Qingzhou, like a nail, if they are not pulled out, it will have a great impact on Gongzi's raising of the flag, if they raid Nanpi with surprise soldiers, it will not be good for Gongzi, in this way, they came to Qingzhou, Gongzi has not been grandly entertained to them, Gongzi can use this as an excuse to invite them to get together, lay down knives and axes during the banquet, take the opportunity to eradicate the two, take over their troops, and the grain and grass in the plain city are quite sufficient, which can continue the problem of insufficient food and grass in our army. ”

"Myoya, Mr. is right." Yuan Tan nodded.

"I don't know if Gongzi can send someone to talk to Wen Hou, this matter must be discussed with Wen Hou." Xin Ping said again.

"I've written to Wen Hou for advice." Yuan Tan said.

"Okay, please raise the prince to the general, straighten out the soldiers and horses, and clear some uneasy factors, I will immediately send someone to arrange a banquet to invite Zhang He and Gao Lan, and send someone to secretly unite Zhang Yan and Gongsun Zhan." Xin commented heavily.

"Go ahead and do it." Yuan Tan let out a long sigh, in his heart he really didn't want to go against Yuan Shao, but the desire for power made Yuan Tan have to do it.

……

Dong ping.

After Cao Cao and Guo Jia met, the monarch and the ministers complained of their inner pain.

"It will take time to mobilize troops and horses from Puyang, and it will take two days at the earliest, and the troops on the Xuzhou side cannot act rashly, otherwise they will be taken advantage of by Yuan Shu, so calculated, I don't have many troops available, tonight's battle, countless losses and losses, which makes it difficult for me to draw troops to balance Lu Bu, let alone want to block Lu Bu's retreat." Cao Cao analyzed.

Guo Jia dragged his sick body and thought about it: "Yanzhou, Xuzhou, Yuzhou and other semi-lands are all in the hands of the lord, as far as the Central Plains is concerned, the lord is the only one, and the number of troops that can be recruited is at least two or three hundred thousand. But there are not many elites among them, Xuzhou, the lord left close to 100,000 defense troops, used to defend against Yuan Shu, in my opinion, Yuan Shu is now busy with the emperor, there is no heart to manage Xuzhou, the lord can draw 350,000 troops. The total number of troops in Yanzhou is 100,000, and now, the lord needs to go all out, and all borders are tightly sealed, so as not to worry about attrition. ”

When Cao Cao heard Guo Jia say this, his heart was relieved, and he nodded, "Feng Xiao's words are reasonable, Lu Bu has 20,000 rabble, and I have an army of 100,000, so why be afraid of him!" ”

"Hao Meng's chess piece could have been used well, but we were too careless." Guo Jia thought of Hao Meng and sighed.

"Yes, the harmed Xiahoudun and they were besieged by Lu Bu's army." Cao Cao's eyes were glazed.

Guo Jia said again: "But General Xiahoudun has 15,000 people, which is not much different from Lu Bujun, and Lu Bujun wants to eat it in one go, it's not that simple!" ”

"Lu Bu didn't seem to bring out the generals around him when he went out this time, only he still has some ability, and if he wants to come, no one can help Xiahou to help them." Cao Cao said.

"Where's Zhongkang?" Guo Jia suddenly found that the big fat man next to Cao Cao was gone, and in private, Cao Cao told him more than once that with Xu Chu, he would have no worries about his life, even if he met Lu Bu head-on.

"Ah, just now when I was about to march, Lu Bu suddenly killed, and Zhong Kang left behind to resist with four thousand troops." Cao Cao slapped his thigh violently.

"This ...... Will Zhong Kang be Lu Bu's opponent? Guo Jia's cheeks jumped, Guo Jia has also seen Xu Chu's ability, in the Cao army, Xu Chu can be regarded as the number one general, but Lu Bu is the number one general in the world.

"It shouldn't be a problem, even if Zhong Kang is not Lu Bu's opponent, it should be no problem for him to run." Cao Cao said a little weakly.

"I hope so." Guo Jia nodded.

……

The three generals Xiahoudun, Cao Ren, and Cao Hong led their respective soldiers and horses to finally break through the siege after a bloody battle, and this feeling of breaking out of the encirclement was like a new life.

All the Cao soldiers and generals cheered one after another.

Because they broke through from three directions, for a while, Lu Bu's army didn't know what to do, and he didn't know what to pursue along the way.

Fortunately, Zang Ba was assertive, he saw that Xiahoudun was a one-eyed dragon, but he was very dragged by people, and he was very unhappy in his heart, so he immediately waved the flag and pointed directly to the direction of Xiahoudun's escape, and the somewhat flustered Lu Bujun suddenly had a direction.

"Kill ——!"

"Kill ——!"

The soldiers of Lu Bujun shouted in unison, and the murderous aura rose against the sky, spreading in the air and sweeping in all directions, everyone holding weapons in their hands, their eyes were red, like a group of Shura who had escaped from hell.

"Mom, why are these crazy people chasing after us!"

"Damn bastards, are we a little better bullied than they look? Why chase us and not chase them! ”

……

Some of the Cao soldiers were about to cry, and when they were in the middle of the formation, the main force of the Lu Bu army bit them to the death, so that among the three Cao soldiers, they suffered the heaviest casualties, and now they escaped, and the Lu Bu army began to pursue them again.

"Ha Luha, our character is really good, Lu Bujun has gone to chase them!"

"Buddha bless! Thankfully, the madmen are chasing them! ”

Cao Ren and Cao Hong's soldiers and horses gloated.

"Grandma, is Lao Tzu so easy to bully?" Xiahoudun raised his long knife, looked up to the sky and roared, and his one-eyed eye was about to erupt fire, several times, he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart and wanted to lead the army to turn around and fight, but Lu Bu's army was full of morale, and his army was demoralized, and the troops were small, so there was only one end in the fight, and the whole army was annihilated.

"Run! Run for me! The faster you run, the better! Xiahoudun did not dare to fight with Lu Bu's army, so he had to order a retreat.

Immediately, he turned his horse and fled.

Tai Shi Ci's white robe was dyed blood red, his cold face added a bit of horror, and the flesh and blood fluttered on the double halberd.

"The fat man didn't come!" Tai Shi Ci muttered in some disappointment.

"General Tai Shici, Zang Shuai has an order, chase and kill the one-eyed dragon!" The flag was waved, and some heralds on horseback shouted everywhere, but some heralds on horseback did not see it.

"Cyclops?" There was a sneer at the corner of Tai Shici's mouth, and he said in his heart, this Zang Ba is really shameless, he is worthy of being a thief in Taishan, everyone has become a one-eyed dragon, and you are still bullying him!

Ideas are ideas after all, Tai Shici still strictly implements this order, since Lu Bu handed over the command of the army to Zang Ba, then Zang Ba represents Lu Bu.

Liu Pi, Gong Du and others had nothing to say, they led their subordinates to desperately cut down the soldiers in Cao's army, and constantly harvested heads to accumulate military exploits.

"Kill the one-eyed dragon!" Sun Guan, Yin Li, Wu Dun and others screamed, riding horses and chasing Xiahou Dun.

"The blind man must flee!"

……

Xiahoudun was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and he wanted to pick up a knife to cut these people who humiliated him with a thousand knives, but like this, I am afraid that it will be difficult to understand the hatred in his heart.

"General Cao, what should we do?" Someone next to Cao Ren and Cao Hong asked.

"I didn't see Lu Bu's shadow, this is a bit abnormal, ah, the lord hasn't come to support us until now, could it be that I met Lu Bu!" Cao Ren and Cao Hong were shocked.

"What then?" The lieutenants were in a hurry.

"The lord has that tiger idiot by his side to protect him, and it is expected that it will not be too dangerous, but, well, if the tiger idiot is not defeated by Lu Bu, the lord will definitely retreat, and the military camp will not go, the lord should retreat to Dongping County to the death, and defend the city, which is the best policy." Cao Ren and Cao Hong analyzed.

"Pass the military order, Rao Xiaolu rushed to Dongping County!"

"What are you doing about the detour?"

"You idiot! What should I do if I meet Lu Bu on the big road, I don't want to die on the big road! ”

"~~~ Let's take the path!"

Cao Ren and Cao Hong both combined, and immediately led the army to take the road to Dongping County, as for Xiahoudun, let him attract the main force of Lu Bu's army! Such a time of crisis is the time to show his value. (To be continued......)
