Wei Tao casually handed over Xin Ping to Dian Wei, who rushed the fastest, and then turned his horse's head and shouted loudly to many Jizhou Black Mountain soldiers.

"Just Xin Ping has been captured by me, even if Yuan Jun arrives, it can't be my opponent, wait until you surrender, when will you wait!"

At this time, it is not said that it is an ordinary soldier, that is, those personal guards have no intention of fighting.

It will be the courage of soldiers, in the face of a brave and invincible general like Wei Tao, these ordinary soldiers did not dare to fight at all, and surrendered one after another.

It's a pity that even Li Le's henchmen and generals obviously don't know what Li Le's idea is, but he knows that Li Le once ordered that once he gave the order, he and Xin Ping would be escorted away, and they would cross the city between the rivers and join the Yuan army's camp.

"Sure enough, there are traps."

Wei Tao shook his head slightly, the wrongness of this city between the rivers is now clear.

In fact, this is nothing, as long as you send someone into the city to investigate, even if there are any traps.

But Wei Tao did not give such an order at this time, but frowned slightly, to be honest, Wei Tao always felt that something was wrong.

This trap may be vicious, but it is easy to see, even if Yuan Jun is unmanned, Wei Tao will not believe it so easily.

Isn't this just an expectation to be able to make yourself a trick, but in fact, there are other real killer moves?

After a little thought, Wei Tao immediately found that something was wrong, although it was not a long time, but until now Wei Tao did not see Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun return, and immediately asked left and right.

"Wen Yuan and Zilong are both cautious and cautious people, why is there still no information sent back now?"

Although I don't know what the layout is in the city, as long as you think about it, you know the road. If there is an army in the city in ambush. When he saw Li Le's failure, he should have rushed out. But if it weren't for the army ambush, as long as Wei Tao didn't enter the city for a while, he would have ignored it, but the two Zhang Liao sent by him didn't return, which made Wei Tao even more anxious.

"Lord, the big thing is not good, Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang have moved, and they are leading the army!"

It was at this time. Zhou Yu was beside Wei Tao, who was beating the horse, and said with a slight frown.

"I'm afraid that Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang really set up a plan like a fire plan in the city, but now that they see Li Le defeated and killed, they will make a move to attack our army."

Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang actually had such fast movements?

Wei Tao thought about it slightly, and still asked Zhou Yu.

"What about Wen Yuan and Zilong? How are they doing now? But was blocked by Yuan Jun? ”

"Lord Qi, Yuan Tan doesn't know how to go around behind our army, he should want to carry out a surprise attack on our army. In order to slow down the attack of the Yuan army, the two generals Wen Yuan and Zilong resolutely clashed with the Yuan army, and now they can be regarded as holding back Yuan Tan's pace, but Yuan Tan's strength is more than ten times that of the two. If it weren't for the fact that he didn't have the heart to fight quickly, I'm afraid that Wen Yuan and Zilong would have been trapped to death. But now the two are also difficult to get out. If you want to keep the two of them safe, you need the lord to lead the troops urgently. ”

Xun You also came up and said at this time.

"That Yuan Tan is different from Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang, he has followed Yuan Shao for a long time, although his talent is not first-class, but it is impossible for the battle formation to be delayed by Zilong and the two of them, I am afraid that he wants the lord to fight with Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang first, and then he will play. Now the lord should make a quick decision, and the strength of our army is only enough to meet the side. However, whether it is the victory or defeat of our army, the other army will immediately rush in, unless it is to lead the people away immediately, otherwise it will not be attacked from both sides. ”

"So bad?"

Wei Tao frowned slightly, he never thought that the situation would come to this point all of a sudden.

"Lord, this is our mistake, according to our estimates, even if it is a rapid march, with Yuan Tan's soldiers rushing here, it is impossible to immediately enter the battle, but I didn't expect that although Yuan Tan's ability is not very good, he also has a ruthless heart, and he actually ordered two or three people to dare to go on the back of a horse, so although the march is extremely fast, almost all the horses are tired to death, and the cost is immeasurable."

Zhuge Jin sighed slightly, this is a possibility that the three of them just speculated, combined with the current situation that Yuan Tan's army is full of foot soldiers, the actual situation should be similar.

Wei Tao's eyes condensed slightly, although he was a little surprised by Yuan Tan's ability, but that's it, Yuan Tan is indeed powerful, but is he weak?

"How many people are Yuan Tan here now?"

"About 20,000, this should be the limit, if it is more, unless Yuan Shao gives up all the horses of the cavalry in his army. If so, the importance of the lord is great, if there is such attention, he must return in person, and it is impossible to let Yuan Tan come alone. ”

At this time, it was naturally impossible to send someone to find out the detailed information, but Zhou Yu and the three of them deserved to be the top strategists, and after some thought, they had already inferred a lot of Yuan Tanjun's information.

"Is the lord going to fight Yuan Tan?"

Although he didn't say it explicitly, looking at Wei Tao's repeated inquiries, Zhou Yu and the three of them already had the answer.

"Yes, I heard that General Yan Liang of Hebei is also here, and this time it happens to be a test."

Although the situation is critical, Wei Tao is not a fledgling now, and after experiencing many battle formations, even at this time, he can talk and laugh freely.

"And after all, Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang have already been defeated in my hands twice, even if they don't have a battle formation, but the march must be extremely cautious, if it is a battle, I am afraid that it will be a stalemate for a while. On the contrary, it is Yuan Tan, although he seems to be experienced in marching and has a strange plan, but watching him dare to sit on top of the battle array and watch the success or failure of our army and Yuan Shang is that he has a name. ”

"What the lord said is extremely true, but this is also a common problem of the Yuan family, and the fight between peers is much more important than dealing with outsiders."

Zhou Yu also smiled, but after a smile, he said with a straight face.

"But the lord should know that the soldiers of our army must be tired under the battle, and if there is no trick, it will be in vain!"

Wei Tao nodded slightly, in order to send troops to stay in Changshan and Zhongshan counties, Wei Tao has divided nearly half of the people, and now there are only more than 10,000 people following him, and he has to deal with several times the enemy army, even if there is a disagreement within the Yuan army, it is not easy.

As for the soldiers of the Black Mountains in Jizhou who had just surrendered, as long as Wei Tao was defeated, I am afraid that they would immediately disperse, even if there were 10,000 people, they would not be able to use them.

"What is Gong Jin's plan now?"

Wei Tao knew that at this time, Zhou Yu must have a livelihood in his heart, so he would say this, and he immediately asked.

"Lord, the only way to do this is to give up the Black Mountain Army and Hejian County, and immediately lead the army to rescue Wen Yuan and Zilong and then retreat, and now the law to defeat the Yuan Army should be on Na Xin Ping."

Zhilu Dao is now in an urgent situation, and every night a moment is likely to be completely defeated, Zhou Yu did not have the slightest intention of selling off, and immediately said.

"Oh?"

Wei Tao frowned slightly, do you want to rely on Xin Ping?

"Gong Jin, you also know that Xin Ping is loyal to Yuan Shao, and it is not a matter of three words or two sentences to persuade him to surrender, not to mention that it is too late at this time. If anything, say it bluntly. ”

"Yes, my lord. I mean put a Xin comment. ”

"Released Xin Ping?"

Wei Tao was even more puzzled, it was naturally okay to let Xin Ping go, maybe Xin Ping was also talented, after all, he was a person who could leave his name in history, but with Wei Tao's current pattern, there was no need to stick to one or two talents.

But with the current situation, even if it is not enough time for Xin Ping to rush back to Yuan Jun, even if he wants to play any ideas on Xin Ping, it will not be enough, right?

"My lord, as far as I know, Xin Ping has always supported Yuan Tan, and he is at odds with Yuan Shang's advisors, and the affairs in the city must be done by Yuan Tan......"

"Well, time is pressing. This time, I won't listen to Gongjin's explanation, I believe Gongjin. ”

This time, Wei Tao didn't give Zhou Yu time to explain again, but waved his hand directly and said.

"Since Gong Jin thinks it can be released, let it go. Come on, bring Xin Ping over. ”

"Thank you for your trust."

As Xin Ping was escorted up, Zhou Yu was also quite moved.

"Xin Ping, I didn't expect that Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang were still a little brave enough to dare to fight with me, but do you think that such a small plot can break our army? How long can a mere Li Le delay? Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang were only halfway through the journey at this time, and they wanted to raid our army, which was ridiculous! ”

Although Wei Tao didn't know Zhou Yu's calculations, he could faintly guess some situations, and when he saw Xin Ping being detained, he smiled coldly.

"Humph! If you want to kill, you will kill, if you want to kill, I will never frown. ”

Xin Ping's heart often moved, but he didn't say anything, but said it very hard.

"That's not necessarily, I pity you Xin Ping is also a talent, and I also know that you think that Yuan Jun is too powerful for me to be defeated. How about a gamble between you and me? This time, I'm going to let you go back and let you see how I broke Yuan Jun. ”

Wei Tao naturally couldn't just let Xin Ping leave, if so, anyone would be suspicious.

"If I win, how about Xin Zhongzhi taking refuge in me? Come on, loosen the tie for Zhongzhi, bring another horse, let him go to Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang, and let him take a good look, now that Hejian County is in my hands, see how they can take it! ”

"Good! I'll see for myself! ”

Xin Ping already had a calculation in his heart, so he agreed on the surface.

When Xin Ping urged the horse to leave, Wei Tao immediately smiled slightly.

"Gong Jin, right now, you're ordering someone to occupy this city, right? This thing is still done by those Montenegrin soldiers, but I don't know who to lead the troops? ”

"Xu Gongming is a talented person and is quite good at guarding the city, only if he is there, he can rest assured, and there is no person as careful and cautious as Gongming who is just doing this!"

Hearing Wei Tao's question, Zhou Yu immediately spoke.

"Okay, then let Gongjin and Gongming deal with this matter, and try not to let Yuan Jun attack my back. Other generals, follow me to meet Yuan Tan and see what Yuan Benchu's eldest son is capable of! ”

"No!"

Hearing what Wei Tao said, all the generals agreed together! (To be continued......)
