Chapter 418: Yuan Shaozhong's plan

Zhuge Liang and Cao Cao discussed some details and returned satisfied.

In the early morning of the second day, Cao Cao personally went to Yuan Ying and said: "At the beginning, Shi Xin was the emperor's brother, and he passed through Yanzhou and Jizhou on the previous road, and the imperial court sent Zhonghui Deng Ai to let us go. Therefore, we must attack with all our strength today and break the Qingzhou army with lightning speed, even if the emperor sends someone to stop it, it is too late. ”

Yuan Shao said: "The defense near Jinan City is so sophisticated, but it is difficult to attack for a while. Could it be that Meng De already has a clever plan?"

Cao Cao smiled: "I have already sent someone to investigate early in the morning. Shi Xin divided the 80,000 troops equally to Licheng and Taixian, took care of each other, and defended Jinan City. I think this must be Zhuge Liang's plan, he doesn't know how to use our troops, so he has to divide his troops to defend. If one end is in trouble, the other can be flexible to help. But in this way, it thins up its own soldiers. We have the advantage of our forces, and as long as we march at the same time, he will not be able to take care of each other, and it is only a matter of time before he is defeated. ”

"Hmm......" Yuan Shao stroked his beautiful hair, his eyes flickered, obviously in contemplation, and after a long while, he said, "Then the place where it was beaten down also belongs to each other?"

Cao Cao nodded and said, "This is natural." Alas, the original 100,000 soldiers against 40,000 must be overwhelming, and I cannot compare with you. Therefore, Meng De dared to take advantage of you, attack the closer Licheng, and you would attack Taixian. ”

"Let me think about it. ”

Yuan Shao groaned undecided, asked Cao Cao to wait for a while, and he gathered to discuss the matter.

Tian Feng came out: "Cao Cao's tactic is good, but it is a bit passive. In fact, our strength is twice that of the Qingzhou Army, and we can completely join forces in one place, and we can still defeat him. The lord has not forgotten that once Cao Cao leaves our sight, it is likely to be deceitful. ”

Guo Tu said: "If we join forces, Shi Xin will also join forces, and the result will be the same." And the captured cities are indeed not easy to distribute. If we divide the army, we will have an advantage against 40,000 against 100,000. I was really afraid that Cao Cao would play tricks, and he could transfer 20,000 soldiers from Yecheng to distribute them in the Liyang area, and he was afraid of it, so he didn't dare to do what he thought. ”

Yuan Shao deeply agreed with Guo Tu's words, nodded and said: "I know Cao Cao's character well, and his attack on the city took advantage of the proximity, which shows that he is eager to occupy the city before us, and it also shows that he is true." ”

He was confident about this battle, since the place he captured was his own, he didn't bother to talk to Cao Cao later, so he immediately made a decision, let Fu Zhu return to Yecheng quickly, and lead the troops into Liyang to contain Cao Cao.

Cao Cao got Yuan Shao's consent, waved his army forward, and pointed his sword at Licheng. Before leaving, his eyes rolled and reminded Yuan Shao: "At the beginning, I got reliable news. Shi Xin and Zhuge Liang already have eighth-level cultivation, if they encounter them in front of the formation, don't touch them hard, and avoid some of them. ”

Yuan Shao was taken aback at first, but when he saw Cao Cao's playful smile, he sneered again, "Thank you Meng De for reminding me, I won't take the eighth rank pulse master in my eyes, so I'd better worry about myself!"

Cao Cao arched his hand: "This is natural, if I have the help of Tong Yuan and Li Yan, I will be just as sure." But since we have been allied, we are obliged to remind you one more thing. Shi Xin is better, but Zhuge Liang has a pulse control device, you have to guard against it, Tong and Li have little chance of winning when they play against each other. ”

Although there was a secret agreement with the Qingzhou army, Cao Cao's true character was treacherous, and he didn't mind using a knife to kill people and get rid of the two henchmen.

Cao Jun first went to the outskirts of Licheng and was far away from the Qingzhou army. After scolding before the battle, the Cao army sent Dian Wei Xu Chu to call the battle, and the Qingzhou army sent Pan Feng and Wu Anguo, and the two pairs of people caught and killed.

The four of them are all fierce generals, although they know that they can't fight with their lives, but under their deliberate construction, they fight in the dark, flying sand and rocks, roaring again and again, and they can't see that there are any remaining hands left. In the end, Pan Feng and Wu Anguo bought a flaw and fled back to their own camp on horseback. Cao Cao waved his army to cover the kill, but the Qingzhou army could not resist it, and retreated into Licheng and could not retreat.

The overseers sent by Yuan Shaojun to Cao's camp saw it and sent someone to report to Yuan Shao, saying that Cao Cao had won the first battle and was now besieging Licheng.

At that time, Yuan Shao was driving to Taixian in the plains, and when he got the news of the overseer, he was secretly surprised, and he didn't expect Cao Cao to be so smooth, so he urged the march even more.

Cao Cao's soldiers besieged Licheng, dispatched a number of teams to abuse and slander the shrinking Qingzhou army, Pan Feng was provoked, but was ambushed, and finally returned to the gate of Licheng, but was followed by Dian Wei Xu Chu all the way, and he couldn't enter in a hurry, so he had to abandon Licheng and flee to Jinan City.

Yuan Shao was shocked when he got the news, and urged the army to hurry up.

At this time, Tian Feng said: "Lord, it seems a bit unusual that the Qingzhou army was defeated so quickly. Moreover, our army marched too fast, and the formation was scattered, which made a great taboo for soldiers. In case the enemy has an ambush, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of the whole thing. ”

Guo Tu has always been at odds with him, and he disagrees with him every time to highlight his ability. sneered at the moment: "The Qingzhou army is only 40,000, even if it is all used for ambush, it can't shake us by half a point." Our scattered formation is just right to lure them out, just take extra precautions, and they will definitely not come back. Moreover, after Taixian is the important town of Jinan, they will definitely divide their troops to resist in Taixian, and the soldiers they can send are only 10,000 or 20,000. ”

Yuan Shao thought so, so he ignored Tian Feng.

Walking to a mountainous area, suddenly heard the sound of gongs shaking the sky, two cavalry from the left and right, each with about a thousand, without saying a word to kill the Yuan army.

The left general is in a white robe and silver armor, majestic, and it is Zhao Yun. The right-handed general is majestic, murderous, and it is Sun Ce.

"Changshan Zhao Zilong is here, Yuan Jun is dead!"

"Jiangdong Little Overlord Sun Bofu, I am here to take Yuan Shao's head!"

Yuan Shao saw it from the Chinese army, and his heart was cold, "It's bitter, there is really an ambush." When he looked at it, he laughed.

"With only 2,000 soldiers and horses, you also want me to be the head? Yan Liangwen Chou obeyed the order and led 5,000 soldiers and horses to encircle and suppress the enemy. ”

Yan Liangwen was ugly, and all the soldiers and horses met him.

Zhao Yun had already given the order of the general, so that the soldiers under his command only feinted on the side, and he himself danced the gentian gun and rode alone to meet Yan Liang.

"Zhao Yun's exclusive talents "Changshan Zhao Zilong" and "One Body is Guts" take effect at the same time, and the attack and defense are increased by 40%, becoming 224 and 196. ”

Zhao Yun rushed into the enemy formation, and the gentian spear flew up and down, killing twenty people in an instant, and the white robe was stained with blood. buried his head and rushed down, only twenty zhang away from Yan Liang.

"Zhao Yun, today is your death date!"

Yan Liang saw that Zhao Yun was surrounded by his own soldiers, he was bold and strong, and he came to Zhao Yun in an instant.

Zhao Yun saw it clearly, the gun was like a dragon, and the tip of the gentian gun was sent forward, and it was already on Yan Liang's crazy slashing knife.

After the battle of Cao Ying, Zhao Yun's prestige had already spread throughout the Han Dynasty. This shot was as fast as lightning, and Yan Liang was already ready to go all out.

The two veins touched, Yan Liang let out a light "huh", it was not the expected strong collision, the gentian gun was shocked by the crazy slashing knife, and Zhao Yun was even more stunned, and his face changed greatly.

"Haha, Changshan Zhao Zilong, it's just a waste of fame!"

Yan Liang instantly became full of confidence, and danced wildly with a sword, fighting with Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun did not collide with Yan Liang, but only fought in the enemy formation, eighty percent of his energy was focused on the heads of those who harvested the soldiers, and two percent of his energy was on Yan Liang.

Yan Liang only cared about chasing and killing Zhao Yun, but he didn't know what the plan was.

After fighting for a quarter of an hour, Zhao Yun's "Indomitable" talent was launched, and the attack defense was increased by one percent again, becoming 240 and 210.

In order not to be noticed by Yan Liang, he was still shuttling back and forth in the enemy formation to kill the enemy, and by the time Yan Liang reacted, the soldiers had already been killed by Zhao Yun more than a thousand.

"Divide 3,000 people to encircle and suppress the Qingzhou army, and the rest of the people will block Zhao Yun for my life, and I can't let him run around!"

Yan Liang finally realized that something was wrong, his face changed color, and he gave an order in a loud voice.

At this time, Zhao Yun also ordered: "The enemy is strong, Yan Liang is brave, everyone retreat quickly!" Fight your way out of the encirclement and flee with your army.

Yan Liang was reluctant to let the fat in his mouth fly away, and led the army to chase after him.

The same situation arose with the ambush army on the right.

Sun Ce's overlord spear was powerful and heavy, and every move was as powerful as a thousand jun, even more than Zhao Yun, and by the time Wen Chou reacted, he had already killed 1,300 people.

The two ambushes used the same method to lure Yan Liangwen's 10,000 soldiers and horses into the distance, and Zhao Yun and Sun Ce suddenly led the army back to kill back, and at this time they were already in full firepower.

Zhao Yun and Sun Ce knocked Yan Liangwen off their horses with just one shot, and the soldiers under their command saw it and immediately became imposing. They had already held their breath and began to fight bravely.

The two-way Yuan army protected Yan Liangwen and Chou, and was killed so much that he called his father and mother, and fought and retreated. By the time they fled back to their own positions, 10,000 soldiers had lost 5,000 and their morale was low.

Yuan Shao was furious, and only then did he wake up from a dream and knew that it was a plan. was going to punish Yan Liangwen for being ugly, but he was persuaded by Tian Feng.

During this day, Zhao Yun and Sun Ce harassed Yuan's army many times, and all they brought were cavalry, which came and went freely, but Yuan Shao was already on guard, and he couldn't get much cheap. In the end, Yuan Shao was so annoyed that he simply called Tong Yuan and Li Yan from the front army and the rear army, and Zhao Yun and Sun Ce disappeared.

The army marched for a day, and finally came to ten miles away from Taixian, and Shi Xin's army was already lined up in front and waiting for it.
