After winning Puyang, Yuan Shao was ready to take Baima first, and then Yan County according to the established goal, taking the idea of defeating the Iron Army first, and then tossing Liu Bei.

But under the white horse, Yuan Shao hit the iron plate, Dian Wei, an eighth-order bull, must not be underestimated, especially when Dian Wei was defending the city, plus the city's offensive and defensive bonuses, Yuan Shao suffered heavy losses under the white horse city, but he couldn't even go up to the city.

Of course, this has something to do with the higher price offered by the Iron Army in Baima, after all, Baima is different from Puyang, Puyang is the city that was obtained later, and it is too far away from Yan County, and the Iron Army does not have the determination to defend it.

And the white horse is different, therefore, the iron army has invested in the defense of the white horse, especially in terms of recruiting players, it is even more generous, but Yuan Shao still guards the original price, but he doesn't know how to adapt to the time and the situation! It's not okay to stay the same, or to be one step slower.

was blocked under the White Horse City, so that Yuan Shao's originally high confidence quickly fell, and his mentality changed from positive and enterprising to conservative, which made Xu You in his eyes not know what to say, as a lord, Yuan Shao's emotionality was indeed a little disappointing.

Looking at Yuan Shao, who was lying on the desk staring at the map, seeing his frowning and sad face, he finally sighed and said, "Originally, what are you worried about?" ”

"Uh, Ziyuan, you don't tent you drink anymore, what's the matter with me here?"

Yuan Shao's tone is obviously a lot of dissatisfaction with Xu You, the ban on alcohol in the army, although it is not very strict, but basically in addition to Yuan Shao himself, there are also some high-status guys who secretly drink a little, only Xu You holds his own identity and qualifications, openly drinks in the tent, often gets drunk and does not wake up, and hides in the car and sleeps when he is marching, this kind of behavior Yuan Shao is angry in his eyes, but he doesn't know what to do.

After all, Xu You's ability is there, and he is the old minister who followed him at the beginning. If you see your guilt, it may make many people feel cold.

"Drinking, the mouth is light and tasteless, and I hear a sigh in my ears, this wine is not a taste! Did you think I was drinking against military regulations? But I knew that if I drank and slept in the car, the soldiers would be at ease. Also, when I didn't know it was bad, I didn't drink alcohol. ”

Yuan Shao was stunned for a moment, straightened up and sat down, looked at Xu Yu with a solemn expression seriously, cleared his throat and said, "So to speak." Ziyuan feels that the current situation is not very good, so he can't drink anymore, so to speak, I'm sorry for you1

"Hehe, that's right, if the people of Jizhou can't live and work in peace and contentment, the responsibility is also on Ben Chu. Isn't it? ”

Yuan Shao blinked, and had to admit that what Xu You said was still very reasonable.

"Okay, Ziyuan must have come here to teach me, let's talk about it."

"Hehe," Xu You twisted his beard and smiled softly, "I was originally worried about White Horse City.1

"Yes, everyone knows this, and now that White Horse City has been unable to be attacked for a long time, the morale of our army has been frustrated. What's more, if it is postponed, it will definitely miss the opportunity to attack Chen Liu, so how can this official not be troubled? ”

"Originally, since the white horse couldn't be attacked, why did it have to be attacked? Was the original intention to capture the White Horse and destroy the Iron Army, or to attack Chen Liuquan to take Yanzhou? ”

"It's a white horse. Isn't it like a fish in the throat and a mang in the back, how can you rest assured that you can go south to attack Chen Liu, aren't you worried that the iron army will suddenly kill from behind, and it will ruin me and other good things? ”

"Ugh. Originally, when we attacked Puyang, why didn't the Iron Army kill Lihu from behind and come to harm me and other good things? ”

"This" Yuan Shao thought for a while, and looked at Xu Yu incomprehensibly.

"It's very simple, because the Iron Army's field combat ability is not strong, and there are too few mobile troops available, so they will not fight this kind of uncertain battle, secondly, there is General Zhang Jaw watching on the side, once the Iron Army is not careful, it may be entangled by General Zhang Jaw's cavalry, and if the surprise attack fails, it may be surrounded and annihilated."

Yuan Shao's eyes lit up: "Ziyuan means to temporarily put down the white horse and attack Yanxian or Jiyang, if the Iron Army comes out, we will turn around and eat the Iron Army, if the Iron Army does not come out, we will take Jiyang first." ”

"Yes, our ultimate goal is to destroy the enemy army and compete for population, how can we fight against the enemy army under the fortified city, what a loss this kind of battle is1

In fact, Xu You is already very face-saving, but the statement of 'Jiancheng' made Yuan Shao feel ashamed, compared to Puyang, the white horse is actually not a strong city, but Puyang easily won it, and the white horse hit his head and bled out, needless to say, everyone knows who should bear the responsibility.

Yuan Sao was secretly annoyed in his heart, but he couldn't get started, and Xu Yu did put forward a new idea for Yuan Shao here, that is, to mobilize the iron army to break the deadlock, from this point, Yuan Shao should thank Xu You first. Of course, if the Iron Army made up its mind to be a shrinking turtle, then Yuan Shao would also be willing to capture Chen Liu first, and then turn back to deal with the Iron Army's small territory, which is a flexible strategy that can be used both right and left.

Yuan Shao left his jaw to stare at the white horse, and suddenly led the army south to Changyuan, Changyuan City has long become a place where three things don't matter, so as soon as Yuan Shao's army arrived, he immediately changed the flag, Yuan Shao arranged the defenders here, as a central node, and then continued to lead the army south, together with Wen Chou, who set off from Dingtao, to attack Jiyang.

The defender of Jiyang is Liu Xun, who used to be a subordinate of Yuan Shu, and is now a subordinate of Liu Bei, seeing the arrival of Yuan Shao's army, he was really panicked. On the other side, he also asked Zhuge Jin for help, hoping that Zhang Fei, who was holding Cao Cao back in the south, would be able to return to the army and go north.

However, Zhuge Jin did not dare to let Zhang Fei go north easily, now that the war in Xuchang is tight, the forces of the two sides are temporarily balanced, but once Zhang Fei is transferred north, Xiahou Yuan, who is dealing with Zhang Fei, can withdraw and devote himself to the battlefield in Xuchang, and the pressure on Xuchang will definitely increase greatly.

On the other hand, Chen Liu's current situation, even if Yuan Shao is in Kaifeng and Chen Liu, Zhuge Jin still has the strength to fight, not to mention that Kaifeng and Chen Liu are big cities, it is impossible for Yuan Shao to go down in one go, as long as his side drags on, after the victory and defeat of the Xuchang battlefield, he can turn back and solve Chen Liu's problem.

On the contrary, if the troops of the Xuchang battlefield are transferred, once Xuchang collapses, Jingzhou and Sili will be separated, and it will be difficult for Liu Bei to even have both places, let alone Chen Liu.

Therefore, Zhuge Jin gave Liu Xun an order to defend to the death.

Yuan Shao led the army to the city of Jiyang, camped on both sides of the northeast side of the city, and the next day, issued a siege mission, this time Yuan Shao learned wisely, and carefully studied the task rewards in the city, and then gave relatively more favorable conditions to attract those who only focused on the benefits of the aliens.

Liu Xun stood at the head of the city, looking at the mighty army under the city, and turned his head to look at the sparse appearance of the remote positions in the city, and his heart became more and more panicked.

Yuan Shao lined up outside the city, and then sent Wen Chou forward to take the formation.

"It's Liu Xun in the city, and my lord has something to convey 1

"Below is Liu Xun, if you have something to say, you have nothing to say and retreat 1

"Liu Xun, you are the former official of the Yuan family, now that the old lord has arrived, why don't you open the city to greet each other, but instead ask for swords and soldiers?"

"Hugh has to say more, now that this official is a subordinate of Lord Liu Bei, how can he be half-hearted and make people laugh in shame1

"In this way, if you are ungrateful and betray the Lord, you won't worry about others laughing at you?"

"Humph! At the beginning, the Zhong family was in danger, Yuan Shao was a blood brother, but he stood by and watched death and did not save him, but now he came to accuse me of being ungrateful, although I was not talented, I also fought to the end back then, so the lord died before he had to vote for the master, he Yuan Shao He was my lord! Hugh has to say more, and if you want to fight, you will fight1

"What a Liu Xun, it's really shameless, you dare to go down to the city to fight1

"Isn't it child's play that the two armies are fighting, if you have the ability, you can attack it, otherwise you should go back and rest1

"Humph! That being the case, Liu Xun'er, wash your neck and wait for me to break the city1

Seeing Wen Chou retreat into the formation, the horns and drums of Yuan Shao's army shook the sky, and the soldiers expanded one after another, occupying the entire field outside the city.

"Trebuchet ready 1

"Infantry regiment ready 1

"The attack begins 1

"Bang! Bang! ~”

"Boom 1

"Roar! Roar! Bang dang, bang dang 1

The trebuchet began to speak, and the huge stones that obscured the sky flew towards the city, and the following trebuchets continued to advance, and the infantry banged their shields and roared in anticipation.

Liu Xun felt that the sky suddenly darkened, and the stones of the attacking and defensive sides staggered overhead, and then fell with a bang, smashing wood and rubble flying sideways, splashing dust all over the sky.

The defenders of the city and the troops in the city were busy dodging and fighting back, and all kinds of shouts and orders came into Liu Xun's ears, which made him feel a little comforted in his heart.

"The armies were ordered to be on alert, to be careful to avoid the artillery, and to be careful not to mess with the recruits and militia, and that the enemy was not so terrible.1

"No1

"Prepare more oil and beware of the opponent's strong generals rushing into the city1

"No1

Soon, Yuan Shao's infantry regiment charged, and the battle developed near the city wall, and soon, fires broke out at the head of the city and many parts of the city, which was Liu Xun's last means of blocking the enemy.

The raging fire blocked the attacker's footsteps, and the high temperature and thick smoke forced the attacker to readjust the direction of the attack, and the flames effectively disrupted the attacker's rhythm, making Yuan Shao's army unable to use its strength.

Liu Xun struggled to resist Yuan Shao's onslaught, seeing that the sky was gradually darkening, Liu Xun looked at Yuan Shao's momentum, and didn't seem to plan to withdraw the army, but wanted to attack overnight, Liu Xun couldn't help but secretly complain, he was already suitable and sleepy, and more importantly, the oil was almost thrown away by those recruits, what did he use to continue to resist Yuan Shao's onslaught!

Yuan Shao, who was outside the city, stood on the command platform, looking at the city wall in the distance, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "The enemy army is running out of fire, strengthen the offensive, and take the city in one go, Liu Xun Xiaoer, today I will let you know what the end of treachery is1 To be continued...
