"Knock, knock, knock······" Inside the camp, drums sounded.

The soldiers of the Yuan army soon began to get out of the tent and began to assemble, and when everyone was all there, what the soldiers of the Yuan army did not expect was that this assembly was not to be opened, but someone was escorted to the execution platform.

Yuan Shao came to the sergeants with a sword in his hand, and said loudly: "At the time of the Great War, someone in the army fornicated with the enemy and leaked our army's military information to Cao Thief!" Come on, bring it up! ”

Xun Chen was pushed onto the execution platform by several strong armor soldiers, at this moment he was wearing a hair and looking frightened, but he still opened his mouth and shouted: "Yuan Shao, you are stubborn, arrogant, scheming and indecisive, doing big things and sparing your life, you still want to dominate the world, dream, you will be defeated by Cao Cao!" ”

"When you die, you still speak ill of you!" Yuan Shao was furious, and immediately said to the army: "This person has been secretly coracting with Cao Thief for a long time, ventilating and reporting information, with such internal ghosts by his side, can I, Yuan Shaoyan, be undefeated?" In the sun, kill this wingman to sacrifice the flag, and warn others, don't be half-hearted! Come on, slash! ”

The executioner with a big waist and a round waist walked over with a ghost-headed broadsword, and the two armor soldiers pressed Xun Chen to kneel down and retreated to the side, the executioner raised the knife and fell, and the big head rolled to the ground.

After the execution, Xun Chen's head was hung up, the sergeants dispersed, and Yuan Shao and the strategists returned to the tent.

Yuan Shao asked, "Where did Cao Cao's army go?" ”

Xin Ping stood up and replied: "Back to the lord, the spies came to report yesterday that Cao Cao's army has arrived in Chenliu!" ”

Yuan Shao asked again: "What about Cao Hong in the Guandu camp?" Is there an action? ”

"This ······ No news came! Xin Ping hesitated and said.

"Huh?" Yuan Shao turned around and looked at Xin Ping, "Send someone to keep an eye on Cao Hongbu immediately, but if there is news, report it immediately!" ”

"No!"

Yuan Shao had to be careful, Cao Hong's soldiers and horses were in the Guandu camp, which was the upper reaches of Puyang, there was a short distance, and he was also frightened by Cao's army robbing the grain road and sneaking up on the grain and grass camp.

Three days later, Xin Ping received that a Cao army of about 3,000 men had crossed the river to the north and disappeared from the Guandu camp.

Xin Ping didn't dare to slack off, and immediately reported the news to Yuan Shao.

After hearing this, Yuan Shao called the advisers to discuss, "Everyone, how to deal with this matter?" ”

Feng Ji stood up and said: "Lord, if three thousand people enter the land of Hebei, if we want to deliberately hide, it will be difficult for us to find this group of men and horses in a short period of time, and Cao Cao sent this group of men and horses to cross the river to the north for nothing more than two purposes, the first is to surprise attack Yecheng; The second is to cut off my food channel! ”

"The first one may be ruled out, there is a trial match in Yecheng to preside over the overall situation, and Cao Jun only wants to succeed with only 3,000 people, but I still have to tell the news to the trial match, so that he knows it and takes precautions!"

"The purpose of this army should be to cut off our army's grain road, there is a strategy for my subordinates, I might as well wait for the plan, use a batch of grain and grass to lure out the three thousand Cao army, the lord sent a general to lead the troops near the accompanying grain transport team, wait for the Cao army to appear and rob the grain truck, and the army will go out to surround and annihilate it!"

Yuan Shao was quite appreciative and satisfied with this idea, and he swept his eyes over the generals in the tent one by one, but he couldn't find anyone who could give him confidence to deliver this errand.

With the death of Hebei's famous generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou, coupled with the surrender of Zhang He and Gao Ran to Cao Cao, and then Lu Yi's self-pride was killed by Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao's generals were already withered, and there was not even a first-class general.

Everywhere the eyes passed, only Han Meng and Jiang Qi were slightly more famous, but these two were only below the second rate, barely better than the third rate, but Han Meng and Jiang Qi and Cao Jun all lost in the battle, which still made Yuan Shao feel uneasy.

Yuan Shao's gaze finally fell on Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang's brothers, "Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang!" ”

The brothers of the Lu family stood up and hugged their fists: "The end will be!" ”

"Order the two of you to return to Yecheng immediately, lead 5,000 soldiers to follow the grain and grass escort convoy in the dark, do not show your tracks, and wait for the Cao army to rob the grain cart, and you will immediately lead the army to kill!"

"Command!"

Within a few days, Cao Cao led an army of 30,000 into the territory of Dongjun, Yuan Shao did not dare to slack off, and ordered his second son Yuan Xi to lead an army of 10,000 to build a camp and a city outside the city to rely on.

Cao's army came from afar, Cao Cao did not dare to hold it up, set up a camp twenty miles away, and waited for the next morning, and the sergeants led the army slowly after eating breakfast.

Yuan Shao was not to be outdone, leaving 10,000 troops to defend Puyangcheng, and he led 30,000 troops out of the city to meet Cao's army.

"Yuan Benchu, what is the reason why you sent troops to attack my city and occupy my land for no reason?" Cao Cao shouted loudly in front of the formation.

Yuan Shao responded loudly: "Mengde, listen to my advice, the imperial court is not something you can touch, such as who today does not know that you Cao Mengde coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, messed with the dynasty and regarded the emperor as a puppet?" Everyone in the world hates to eat his flesh and drink your blood, if you can resign from your military power, resign from your position as a commoner, and return to the township, I can save the lives of your family! ”

"Huh!" Cao Cao smiled, "Don't talk about it, if you come, you will fight, who is reasonable, but it is not because of who has a strong mouth, you have to see the real chapter in your hand!" ”

"That's what I mean!"

So the two sides retreated to their own positions and attacked with their own troops.

The drums of war rumbled, and tens of thousands of troops attacked each other under the method of arranging troops, shouting and killing, which soon spread in all directions.

The soldiers and horses on both sides are well-founded, and they are not chaotic, Cao Cao is proficient in military affairs, Yuan Shao is the third duke, and the family education is profound, but it is not bad, and they command the army calmly and calmly.

Although Yuan Shao is arrogant, after the defeat of the last Guandu, he also has a certain self-understanding, knowing that he can't take a capable general under his command, and can't compete with Cao Cao, and directly compete with morale and military formation.

Although it is deficient in terms of generals, the Yuan army also has advantages that the Cao army cannot compare, the Yuan family has a deep heritage, the sergeants are well-equipped and complete, and the number of strong bows and crossbows is much more than that of the Cao army, and the Cao army has suffered a big loss in long-distance attacks.

The two sides fought from the morning until dark, and they withdrew their troops back to their camps without a win.

With the lesson of the defeat in the last battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao is not impatient this time, and plans to fight steadily, this Dongjun is not very far from Yecheng, in terms of supply, it is a little more troublesome to have a Yellow River in the middle, and the supply line is not as long as Cao Cao.

In several battles in a row, Yuan Shao maintained an undefeated and invincible situation, and Cao Cao did not take advantage, and there was no good way to break the enemy for a while.

And north of the Yellow River, Cao Hongbu Yan Ming led an army of 3,000 to target the Yuan army's grain transport team, this time the grain and grass transported was enough for 50,000 Yuan troops to eat for a month, this is a large amount of grain and grass, Yan Ming received the news and immediately led the army to ambush in the place where the grain transport team must pass.
