When Yuan Shao gathered the defeated soldiers and just breathed a sigh of relief, another piece of bad news came into his ears, Changshan County, which was taken by Zhao Yunbing without blood, and its ease was rare since ancient times. It is rumored that Zhao Yun just led the troops to Changshan County to show his face, and erected his general flag under the city, and the soldiers and civilians in the entire Changshan County City were all boiling, and nearly 10,000 defenders came to a collective mutiny, killing the county guards sent by Yuan Shao, and then opened the city gate with hundreds of thousands of people, and welcomed Zhao Yun into the city with gongs and drums.

I have to say that Zhao Yun's name in Changshan is too loud, when Zhao Yun was still in his hometown, he often helped the poor people, and once taught the local defenders martial arts, whether in the army or in the people, has a good reputation. Later, Zhao Yun left his hometown to worship under the gun prodigy Yuan to learn art, and he also came back a few times, each time he would do something to eliminate violence and peace, and save the people, until he joined Ao Lie's command, because he was responsible for the leadership of the bloody army, the number of times he came back slowly decreased, but this did not reduce the love of his hometown fathers for Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun created a great prestige outside, and faintly became the first general under Ao Lie, and the god of war Lu Bu went hand in hand, and the fathers and elders of his hometown knew the way, and all of them praised Zhao Yun orally, Now that he sees Zhao Yun returning to his hometown, he is naturally very happy, and it is not surprising that he opened the city to welcome Zhao Yun.

For example, Zhao Yun's popularity in Changshan is like some small towns in later generations, where a college student who has not met in a hundred years was admitted to the university through his own efforts, and later became a big official. And this college student has an excellent reputation in his hometown, just imagine, can such a person return to his hometown without being welcomed by his hometown fathers?

After Zhao Yun entered the city, he passed on the various county orders of Changshan and asked them to belong to the king of Yan. All of a sudden. Eight counties under the rule of Changshan. All defected to Zhao Yun, pushing Zhao Yun's prestige to a new height, and even bringing it with it, it also made Yan Jun's morale soar. The sound is huge.

And another county was lost. And also in such a way. It made Yuan Shao's heart feel extremely angry, but the things that made Yuan Shao even more angry were more than that. Gan Ning commanded 20,000 Qilin troops along the estuary of the Yellow River. Entering the channel of the Yellow River, the soldiers approached the Xinhe where Yuan Shao was located, but they did not challenge the Yuan army, but took advantage of the fast speed of the new warship to fight a guerrilla attack on the Yellow River.

Under the attack of Gan Ning, several county towns were attacked by the Qilin army in succession. The Qilin elite stepped off the warship and came to fight on land, the combat effectiveness was not reduced at all, no defenders of a county town could resist the onslaught of the Qilin army, Gan Ning was even more brave to take the lead, fighting in the front line of the siege war, those counties with only more than 1,000 people or even only a few hundred people stationed in the county were quickly broken by Gan Ning's army. After the city was broken, Gan Ning looted all the money, food, materials, weapons and equipment in the treasury in the city, and even took off the clothes and armor worn by the defenders mercilessly, and then tied the county order and the defenders together and handed them over to the local people to deal with. Gan Ning is an outsider, and he doesn't know how these county orders and defenders are ordinary, so it is not easy to kill, but the local people know the way, and there will be absolutely no deviation if they are handed over to the people for disposal.

As a result, among the several county orders captured by Gan Ning, only one person was not executed by the people, and the rest were beaten to death by the people, which shows how the county commanders appointed by Yuan Shao usually oppressed the people. Gan Ning's move can be regarded as a breath of evil for the people. At the same time, Gan Ning's style of fighting righteousness and chivalry has also won the recognition of the general public, so that the rule of Jizhou by King Yan is more suitable than the general Yuan Shao, and it has quietly risen among the people and has become a hot topic of discussion.

Yuan Shao had the intention of sending troops and horses to encircle and suppress the naval army of Gan Ning's department, but the "Jinfan thief" was really alert and well versed in the essence of guerrilla warfare. Yuan Shao's subordinates did not have a navy, but from beginning to end, Yuan Shao never thought that the navy would be used in the battle with Ao Lie, so at the beginning of the war, he transferred most of the navy to the trial to intercept Cao Cao at the crossing of the Yellow River. Without the help of the water army, Yuan Shao would naturally be helpless against Gan Ning.

Yuan Shao was helpless, quite anxious, but Ao Lie was in the opposite mood of Yuan Shao. After a short rest, Ao Lie led 110,000 Yan Army and Jiangdong Army to approach Xinhe step by step. Of the five county towns that stood in the way of Ao Lie's march, four Kaesong surrendered, and only one of them resisted, but it was taken by the powerful Tiger Ben Lux in only half an hour.

At the same time as the army, Ao Lie ordered Zhao Yun, who was guarding Changshan, Tai Shici, who was guarding Zhongshan, and Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, who were guarding Bohai, to divide their troops to help in the war. Zhao Yun and Tai Shici didn't want to miss this great battle, and after making proper arrangements for the county they were defending, they handed over the affairs of the county to their subordinates' right-hand generals, and then each led 5,000 troops to help in the battle. Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, who were guarding the Bohai Sea, after consultation, Jiang Qin led the army to continue to stay in the Bohai Sea, and Zhou Tai, who was known as the desperate Sanlang, led 5,000 Jiangdong troops to the direction of Ao Lie.

With these three people leading the army to come, in the Yan army camp fifty miles away from Xinhe, and Ao Lie completed the division, so that the total strength of the Yan army reached 125,000 people, plus not far from the camp, ready to attack the Yuan army at any time 20,000 Qilin water army, the difference between the strength of the Yan army and the Yuan army was greatly narrowed, and the atmosphere of the decisive battle was very obvious, the coalition army composed of the Yan army and the Jiangdong army had already sharpened their swords and guns, and was ready for the most decisive battle at any time.

Knock dong dong - the sonorous and powerful war drums, beating the drum music of the general's order, came out passionately in the Yan army camp.

The general's order was Ao Lie's order to assemble his troops. After hearing the drum music of the general's order, officers and men at all levels gathered in the open space in front of the Chinese army camp. Outside the big tent of the Chinese army, Ao Lie was wearing a golden dragon roaring heavenly armor, carrying a red sky sword at his waist, standing majestically under his bright yellow Yanwang banner.

In just a few dozen breaths, the Yan army and the Jiangdong army had already assembled, lined up in a strict formation, and waited for Ao Lie's order in a clear layer. In the Yan army, the military regulations of nine prohibitions and eighteen beheadings are strict, and there will never be a phenomenon of dragging mud and water, so the speed of assembly is very fast. Even the Qilin Navy cruising on the periphery, under the leadership of Gan Ning, quickly came to the nearest ferry from the camp, and set up a hideous Qilin battle flag, echoing the main force from afar.

"Soldiers, the time for the decisive battle has come. Yuan Shao's brutal and perverse actions made the people of Jizhou complain, and we, as ministers of the Han Dynasty, should have this evil breath for the people of Jizhou! The king's edict ordered that Zhang He and Zhang Xiu led an army of 20,000 to stay in the camp, leaving half of the Jiangdong children, and the rest of the people went to fight in Xinhe with the king! Summoned Gan Ning, abandon the ship and go ashore, and join the army outside Xinhe City! Ao Lie loudly mobilized before the war and gave the order for a decisive battle.

More than 100,000 troops, after receiving the order for a decisive battle, raised their weapons one after another and shouted: "Victory!" Winning ......"

Subsequently, Ao Lie led a group of generals to lead an army of 90,000 to advance into Xinhe, under Xinhe City, and joined forces with the 20,000 Qilin Army who arrived in time, and the 110,000 army lined up in a formation layer after layer under Xinhe City, and blocked the water outside the north of Xinhe.

Yuan Shao, who had already received the news, put on his armor, accompanied by dozens of civil and military officials under his command, came to the north city wall, looking at the majestic Yan army under the city, Yuan Shao suddenly smiled, pointed to Ao Lie's bright yellow royal flag, turned his head and laughed loudly at his subordinates: "You see, this Ao Mohan is probably crazy, and he dares to besiege the city with only 100,000 horses. Could it be that Ao Lie thinks that the 250,000 troops of our army stationed in Xinhe are not made of paper? ”

According to common sense, Yuan Shao's words were not wrong, and it was absolutely impossible to achieve victory if he wanted to use 100,000 troops to launch a strong attack on a city held by 250,000 troops, so Yuan Shao's words provoked laughter from most of the officials under his command, and obviously, they also thought that Ao Lie was crazy with a loss of heart. But a few people led by Feng Ji couldn't laugh, they can first be sure that Ao Lie will never suddenly suffer from the disease of losing his heart and madness, that is to say, Ao Lie came to besiege the city this time, must have been carefully considered, moreover, the combat effectiveness of the Yan army has long been recognized as the first at that time, there are not a few foreign warriors in the Yan army, which has inspired the belligerent nature of the Han sergeants, and the two complement each other, so that the combat effectiveness of the Yan army has climbed, enough to be ten with one, this army has repeatedly created the myth of invincibility, Fengji, they don't dare to underestimate this brave Yan army.

Under the city, Ao Lie, who was in white horse and golden armor, came out of the crowd and came to a hundred steps below the city of Xinhe single-handedly, and shouted loudly to the city wall: "Listen to the soldiers in the city, who dares to come and fight to the death with this king?" If you can block the king's five moves, the king will lose, and the king will immediately withdraw and never invade Jizhou again! (To be continued......)
