From beginning to end, Yuan Shao and everyone under his account thought that Xu You was ordered to return to Yecheng, but they never expected that Xu You had indeed crossed the river, but after crossing the river, he changed direction and went straight to Fan County, where Cao Cao was.

In addition, this period of time was the most critical time for Yuan Shao's planning, everyone was so busy that no one would think of Xu You.

The situation is getting tense day by day, and when the ready army sets out, there is no turning back from the bow, and it can only go all the way.

Yuan Shao still stayed in the palace of Puyang, sitting in charge of everything, Wen Chou repeatedly made great contributions, exterminated Gongsun Zhan, and broke through Baimajin, so this time, Yuan Shao still preferred him, and handed over the heavy task of breaking through from the southern end of Juancheng and Xiaqiu to him, in order to hope that Wen Chou could make another great contribution and lay the most solid foundation for defeating Cao Cao's army.

As for the North Road, there is also a partial division led by Zhang He to echo. In the middle lane, Yan Liang is in charge.

This arrangement can be described as foolproof, and it is the way to fight the east and the west, and the virtual and the real are combined. If the North Road is unblocked, Zhang He's partial division is not a vegetarian, and it can still break through from the North Road and go straight to Fan County.

Yuan Shao was in the mansion, staying alone in the inner study, and according to the custom, he instructed the maid to light a tranquil plate of incense, and did not even light the lamp, just sat cross-legged in the dark, sitting quietly and contemplating.

At this time, Wen Chou was full of ambition, carrying a three-pronged spear in his hand, and led the army to gallop.

The soldiers under his command, in addition to the 3,000 elite cavalry, are 5,000 sharp soldiers, all of whom are the elite of the Jizhou army, with grass and horses, and even the feet of the foot soldiers and the four hooves of the war horses are tied with thick burlap cloth to prevent the footsteps from being too loud during the march and exposing their whereabouts.

The moon was bright, and the army was silently advancing. In order, Wen Chou rode his horse at the front of the elite cavalry, and was very satisfied with the performance of the army behind him.

This area is all flat fields, and now it is almost autumn, and the fields are full of wheat grass half a man high, which will soon turn yellow and can be harvested.

The army marched to the south of the city of Xiaqiu, and most of the distance had passed, and Wen Chou silently raised his three-pronged spear. Motioned for the army to rest on the spot for a moment. He was intended. Rest for such a small half an hour, and then you can go around the hill in one go, after dawn. You can swagger to attack Fan County.

When he turned over and dismounted, Wen Chou couldn't help but emerge what kind of expression Cao Cao would have when he learned that he was leading a large army to attack in Fan County.

The three thousand elite horsemen dismounted one after another, and the foot soldiers found a nearby place one after another, sat on the ground, and seized the time to rest.

Many people were in a hurry and walked away a few steps. Lifted the hem of the leather armor, took out the guys, and just let the water out, only a few unlucky guys were in a hurry to get rid of it. Under the urging of the impatient of many colleagues, the cat bent his waist and ran along the ridge of the field to the depths of the wheat field.

Wen Chou was feeding the war horse Qing Shui with his own hands, and suddenly, a miserable cry sounded, which was particularly loud in the quiet night.

Due to the silenced military order, Wen Chou didn't want to ask loudly, so he hurriedly put away the water bladder, turned over on his horse, and looked carefully at the direction where the miserable screams came.

However, under the moonlight like water, the wheat fields are shaped like a calm sea, and although there is a night breeze, there are no waves, and there is no clue at all.

Wen Chou put his mind at ease, but in an instant, he heard a very slight rustling sound, looked around in confusion, and suddenly his scalp exploded, and with a bang, he spit out the grass stalk that had just been put into his mouth, and shouted: "Array!" Array! Hurry up! ”

In the Jizhou Army, Wen Chou was known for his loud voice, and such a loud roar was immediately like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and the sound shook for miles.

The army that was resting was stunned for a moment, and then immediately revealed that their elite and brave people were coming, and the generals and colonels at all levels immediately ordered the foot soldiers to return to the team, and thousands of people were busy but not chaotic, and in an instant, there were harmless people and animals during the rest, and they turned into a murderous military formation.

However, at this time, the ambush had launched an attack, and the Dao Rocket pierced the night sky, accurately landing in and around the Jizhou Army formation, although the wheat He had not yet dried up, and could not ignite the fire for a while, but so many rockets continued to fall, and it was only a matter of time before a fire broke out here.

Wen Chou was so anxious that he didn't have time to think about why his army was ambushed here, and the top priority was to make a decision immediately, whether to continue to break through or withdraw his troops.

Just in the blink of an eye, Wen Chou made a decision, at this time, to withdraw the army, it is the foot soldier in the front, the fine cavalry in the back, can not exert the impact of the fine cavalry at all, it is easy to cause the army to not get up quickly, and since the Yanzhou army is ambushed here, I am afraid that most of them will predict that he will lead the army to retreat, so on the way back, there must be an enemy army waiting for work, ready to kill him.

In this case, it is of course the best choice to go forward and kill.

"Kill!"

Wen Chou was full of confidence, pointed forward with a three-pronged spear, and rushed out first, and behind him, the elite horsemen followed, and although the four hooves were wrapped in thick burlap, the sound of the horses' hooves was still as low as a drum.

There are 3,000 elite cavalry in front to open the way, Wen Chou is not worried that the next 5,000 foot soldiers will be cut off and surrounded by the enemy, but he needs to take into account the foot soldiers, and his speed cannot be too fast.

Kankan ran out of three miles, and a torch suddenly lit up in front of him, and Wen Chou's heart twitched, and the secret path was not good.

After all calculations, he still underestimated the arrangement of the enemy army, but he did not expect that the enemy army waiting for him was precisely on the way forward when he thought there were no enemy troops.

But at this time, Wen Chou had no time to think about this, and under the light on the opposite side, a general held a big knife and shouted: "Oh, it turned out to be Wen Chou, it's been a long time, kill!" ”

There is no need to look closely, Wen Chou recognized that the leading general opposite was Xiahou Yuan, the general under Cao Cao, and beside Xiahou Yuan, there were two other people, one of whom was Xiahou Yuan, so behind them was the most elite tiger and leopard under Cao Cao.

The thought should be turned around, the Cao army on the opposite side has launched an attack, Wen Chou was not to be outdone, the three-pronged spear was aimed at Xiahou Yuan, and roared: "Kill!" ”

In the quiet of the night, the two armies did not give in to each other and fought each other.

Wen Chou had fought with Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan, and he was full of confidence, although he might not be able to cut one of the two of them off the horse, he would not suffer a loss.

Subconsciously, Wen Chou ignored the unknown person beside Xiahou Yuan.

It's too late, it's fast, Xiahou Yuan roared angrily, the big knife slashed down like lightning, Wen Chou's three-pronged spear was erected, and he grabbed Xiahou Yuan's knife stiffly, and the two horses were staggered, and they were about to miss each other.

At this moment, Wen Chou noticed out of the corner of his eye that the strong man he didn't know, holding a short axe in each hand, and an axe at the waist, swept over.

Wen Chou secretly screamed that it was not good, and in a hurry, he didn't have time to withdraw the three-pronged spear, so he had to abandon the spear like this, leaning back, his back was stiffly attached to the saddle, his eyes caught an axe shadow floating by, and he just secretly screamed luck in his heart, so he suddenly tightened, and the cold hairs on his whole body stood up, like falling into an ice cave.

Only then did he remember that this person was using a two-handed axe, one axe swept the air, and the other axe immediately grabbed his head and chopped it off.

"Did he expect me to dodge like this?"

Wen Chou still had such thoughts at the moment of life and death, and then his eyes turned black and his consciousness was scattered.

"Kill!"

The one who slashed Wen Chou to death on the horse with the double axe was Cao Cao's fierce general Xu Zhu, who was not even interested in taking a look at Wen Chou's corpse, and roared directly forward.

is another loud voice, roaring like thunder, the momentum is majestic, and with a face-to-face appearance, Wen Chou will be killed, which will double his momentum.

The two armies faced each other, and from the moment the war began, the victory and defeat were divided.

Although the Yuan army was elite and brave, it was a pity that the commander Wen Chou died, which greatly hit morale.

Puyang, Taishou Mansion, in the inner study, although he had long known that the army led by Wen Chou and Zhang He would not report the results so quickly, Yuan Shao was still such a person, and sat quietly for almost the whole night.

When the sky was bright, several horsemen galloped into the city and went straight to the Taishou Mansion.

Everyone who saw it knew that there must be an emergency military situation, otherwise, they would not have galloped like this, and the horses, the knights, were all sweaty and heavy-clothed.

Soon, even Yuan Shao, who was still sitting quietly in the inner study, could hear the faint noise coming from outside the door, he frowned unhappily, opened his eyes, got up, only felt that his legs were sore, and he almost stumbled and fell because of this, but fortunately he saw the opportunity quickly and held on to the desk, so he did not fall to the ground.

Supporting the desk with both hands like this, Yuan Shao stood for a long time before he felt that the soreness and numbness of his legs had improved, but when he took a step, he still felt that his steps were slippery, as if his feet were not strong.

"Lord, lord, urgent!"

There were a series of shouts outside the door, Yuan Shao frowned in displeasure, and scolded: "Why is it so panicked, what kind of system!" ”

With a creak, the door was pushed open, and several guards quickly entered, carrying messengers who couldn't even walk.

"Yan, General Yan, urgent, urgent," the messenger said as he sat on the ground, panting.

"Yan Liang?"

An uneasiness rose in Yuan Shao's heart.

Yan Liangnai is a big camp outside Juancheng, how could he send someone to report urgently?

Since it was an urgent report, a group of guards immediately withdrew from the door with interest, and also covered the door with interest.

"Tell me, what the hell is going on?"

Yuan Shao was already a little impatient, and immediately asked in a low voice.

The messenger took a long breath and said: "General Yan, urgent report, General Wen, ambush, defeated, dead, Yan, General Yan, lead the army, fierce battle with the enemy, the enemy army, the momentum is great, the lord, the lord, make it early, plan!" ”

"Plan ahead?!"

Yuan Shao's eyes were dark, he staggered back a few steps, sat down on the ground, and in an instant, his face was as gray as ashes, and there was no blood.

In his heart, there was only one thought, which kept echoing: "Defeated, defeated......"

Suddenly, his throat was sweet, a mouthful of blood splattered out of the air, and the whole person was limp to the ground, and he didn't know who was going to be.
