Zhang Fan was still relatively weak during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, at that time he sent troops to the official crossing, but unexpectedly this was the granary of the Yellow Turban, and he could not transport the grain and grass after the surprise attack, which made him think about burying and storing the grain and grass.

Guandu's grain storage has been surrounded and suppressed by Lu Bu to save Zhang Fan once, that time Zhang Fan successfully killed Lu Bu, and sang all the way to further expand the power, it can be said that without these grain stocks, Zhang Fan may still be struggling in Jizhou now, alone in the world, far from being able to take the initiative to attack as now.

And this time is another opportunity, allowing people to calculate Zhuge Liang and Cao Cao, it seems to be just a little change, but in the end it is a world of difference!

Zhang Fan has completely settled down, now is not the time to fight, the news from Fu Chen, although Zhou Yu's injury has stabilized, it will take some time to recover, and at the same time, the Jiangdong Army also needs time to rest, which is not in a hurry.

Fortunately, Cao Cao and Zhuge Liang were completely blinded, and had no intention of leaving the city, and the fact is also true, the current coalition army is not suitable for recklessness, they only need to hold the bank of the Yellow River, guard Guandu Chenliu, and prevent Zhou Yu from escaping, in their eyes they can afford it, and Zhang Fan and Zhou Yu can't afford it!

Zhang Fan is not at all anyway, during the day he routinely sent troops outside to take a turn, several times the soldiers came to the city, so that Guandu Chen and Chen stayed in the two places to strictly defend, and when the sky was about to be darkened, he went back, and by the way, he dug up one or two grain storage points, took out the grain and grass, and transported it back to the city.

"If you go out tomorrow, remember to let the soldiers pretend to be weak, first wipe their faces with loess, and then wash them off a little, putting on a lack of food and being unsustainable, and deceive the enemy!"

To do a full set of plays, Zhang Fan's decision has won unanimous praise from Jia Xu and Pang Tong, if the final coalition forces see the opportunity to come, they forcibly send troops to attack, but they encounter the Jizhou army in a full state, it will be fun.

In fact, Jia Xu and Pang Tong didn't know that Zhang Fan had saved so much grain and grass in Guandu early, they were startled when they first saw it, and their eyes were full of awe when they looked at Zhang Fan.

In this way, even Sun Ce has stabilized, at least he knows that Zhou Yu is fine, food and grass are safe, although it is difficult to have a place to live in the wild, but this is definitely not difficult for Zhou Yu, and now he is waiting for the opportunity to take revenge in one fell swoop!

Cao Cao's mood is very good these days, the Jizhou army has come to the city many times, but they have returned in vain, and the soldiers of the Jizhou army have become more and more earthy, obviously the grain and grass have been unable to keep up with the consumption, and the war in Jiguan is still anxious, Zhang Fan's grain road has not yet been opened, and it is definitely impossible to supply.

"It's time to fight!"

Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "Fengyun Chao is well versed in the way of using soldiers, and there are famous strategists beside him, and he will definitely retreat when he sees that he can't do anything, and the number of soldiers and horses in Jiguan is not much, I'm afraid I can't stop it, if I go a step too late, I'm afraid I will let the tiger return to the mountain!" ”

Cao Cao nodded, he also understood the key, although his injuries have not fully recovered now, but the army can already fight, and the Jizhou army is out of food, the army is unstable, and the soldiers are weak and weak, it is the time to use force!

He immediately began to prepare, and Guandu Chen Liu began to prepare for war, just waiting for an order, and he could send troops at any time.

Early in the morning of the second day, Zhang Fan led the army to the city again, Cao Cao stood on the city wall, and couldn't help sneering when he looked down, the face of the Jizhou army was even more ugly, and it seemed to be weak, without any spirit, is this still the invincible world hero?

"It's chaotic, is it really worth it for you to do this for Zhou Yu?" Cao Cao smiled coldly.

Zhang Fan glanced at him: "As long as you let Zhou Yu out, I will immediately return to Jiguan, how about it?" ”

"Joke!" Cao Cao snorted coldly: "If you were replaced, would you do this?" ”

Zhang Fan showed an angry and helpless expression: "Do you really want to fight me to the end?" Now Yanzhou and Qingzhou are not guarded, if you return, you should be the land of two states, rise again, why bother with this? ”

"I'm still there when I'm dying, I'm not ashamed to kill you, even Jizhou is mine!"

Cao Cao laughed and waved his hand violently: "Attack!" ”

"Squeak" The city gate opened, and the coalition soldiers and horses that had been prepared for a long time rushed out, shouting loudly to kill, and their spirits were uplifted.

Cao Cao sent 100,000 soldiers and horses to guard the banks of the Yellow River, on the one hand, to prevent Zhou Yu from escaping, on the other hand, to guard the Jizhou army to cross the river to the south to respond, there are still 300,000 soldiers and horses left here, although the number is much less than the previous coalition army, but it is also twice as much as the Jizhou army, plus sufficient rest and recuperation, far from the "weak" Jizhou army can be compared, it can be said that this victory is in hand!

"Huh?" Zhang Fan pretended to be shocked, as if he didn't expect Cao Cao to choose to attack at this time: "Withdraw!" Evacuate! ”

"Want to go? It's late! ”

Cao Ren was the first to rush out as a pioneer general, Zhang Fan had too much blood debt in his hands, and his brothers Xiahou Yuan and Cao Hong all died directly or indirectly in Zhang Fan's hands.

On the other hand, the players guarding Chen Liu's soldiers and horses were also dispatched, led by Shen Yu and others, and the momentum was violent, this was a battle of revenge!

Zhang Fan retreated wildly, as if he didn't dare to pry the front, he made sufficient preparations before coming, and the army retreated extremely fast, making it difficult for Xiahou Shenyu to catch up.

Zhuge Liang came out with the army, and when he saw this situation, his brows frowned slightly: "What's the matter, could it be that the chaos has been prepared?" ”

"How could it be unprepared?" Xiahoudun sneered: "He also knows that he has not much combat power left, he is just bluffing, so naturally he also guessed that we might send troops, so it is understandable to be ready to retreat!" ”

Zhuge Liang shook his head: "I'm afraid it's not so simple, although the Jizhou army retreated at this time, the formation was not chaotic at all, and there was rarely panic in his eyes, and even the retreat was a defensive soldier and horse, and he could reflexively face the battle at any time, I'm afraid there was fraud in it!" ”

He immediately reminded Cao Cao that he should pursue carefully and slow down appropriately, anyway, it was not so easy for Zhang Fan to escape back to Jiguan, and he would encounter obstacles on the way, so there was no need to rush for a while.

Cao Cao obeyed his words and ordered the army to pursue steadily, but the vanguard led by Cao Ren had already chased out a long way, and it was difficult to get orders for a while, and it could not be stopped for the time being.

As soon as Zhang Fan saw this situation, he immediately knew that the enemy army had already noticed it, but fortunately, the time was almost over, the coalition army pursued out, and there was already some distance from Guandu Chenliu, and it was not so easy to return, so he waved his hand: "Turn back, fight!" ”

"Fight! War! War! The Jizhou sergeant roared, stopped at the same time, and showed his sword, his eyes showed endless killing intent, where is the previous weak posture?

"Oh no, I've been tricked!"

Zhuge Liang exclaimed, things were out of control again.
