Six years of Jian'an,

Mid-March.

Jizhou, in the city of Liyang.

Yuan Shao looked at Xun Chen who had returned from the hall, and after hearing what he said, Yuan Shao instantly became angry, and immediately roared: "Okay, he is a Cao Agui, I called him to punish Chu Feng for the common cause, but he deceived people too much." ”

"300,000 military rations, where can I steal so much military rations for him?"

"Now on the front line alone, the military rations are already tight, and there is no manpower to transport them to him." Yuan Shao shook his sleeves, full of annoyance, this Cao Cao seemed to him to be robbing while the fire was burning.

"That's right, lord, in my opinion, Cao Thief is extortion, even if our army gives military rations, he may not be able to send all the soldiers and horses, instead of counting on Cao Cao's reinforcements, it is better for us to repel Chu Feng with our own hands."

"Although the Chu army is strong, the last general can ask himself if he can fight with it." Han Meng strode out of the ranks, since Yan Liangwen was killed in battle, and Gao Lan Zhang He surrendered to the enemy, Han Meng became the first general under Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao frowned, although he also wanted to be arrogant, but he still knew that Han Meng was a few pounds and a few taels, and expecting Han Meng to win against Chu Feng was tantamount to a fantasy.

"Lord, Cao Cao has 150,000 soldiers and horses, if he has their assistance, this victory will be greatly increased, but if there is no help from them, to contain Chu Feng in Luoyang, I am afraid that this battle will still be difficult to win."

Xun Chen hurriedly admonished.

Although 300,000 grains and grass is indeed a lot, it is not impossible to transfer so much grain and grass in exchange for Cao Cao's reinforcements.

Yuan Shao hesitated, he was weighing the pros and cons.

"Ziyuan, what do you think?" In the end, Yuan Shao still looked at Xu Yu and asked with raised eyebrows.

"Returning to the lord, as Xun Chen said, with Cao Cao's help, it will naturally get twice the result with half the effort, but now that Cao Cao has opened his mouth, our army does not have such food and grass assistance, and it is obviously not possible."

"It's better to send someone to negotiate with Cao Cao and give him 100,000 stones of grain and grass, if there is more, our army does not, if he agrees, then give it to him, if he doesn't want to, then treat him as if he doesn't exist!"

"In any case, our army still gathered tens of thousands of Hun Wuhuan iron cavalry, and the strength is still superior to the Chu army, and it is also good for us that Cao Cao does not interfere in the affairs of the Central Plains."

"However, the subordinates think that as long as the lord has a tough attitude, Cao Cao should not refuse, after all, if our army is defeated again, then the whole of Hebei will probably fall into the hands of Chu Feng, and Cao Cao will not dare to see this situation."

Xu You immediately analyzed and judged.

Yuan Shao nodded, indeed, what Xu You said is not unreasonable, if you give too much, you will give 100,000, and 100,000 squeezes can still be taken out, if Cao Cao has the heart, he will naturally not dare to watch himself fall.

"It makes sense, it makes sense!"

"In this way, Xun Chen will work hard for you, go to Luoyang again, inform Cao Cao, and say that he will give a maximum of 100,000, if you don't want to, I will definitely fight Chu Feng on time in early April, and if Cao Cao defeats him at that time, don't think about being alone!"

Yuan Shao said sonorously, a little scoundrel.

Directly threaten Cao Cao with his own success or failure, the key Cao Cao is indeed afraid, once Yuan Shao is defeated, it is only a matter of time before Cao Cao is defeated.

"No!" Xun Chen immediately responded.

Full of bitterness, he was tired of running back and forth.

But at this moment, a rough voice sounded: "Who is the leader of the Yuan League?" The younger brother came to seek justice for Yuan Meng. ”

As he spoke, a figure entered.

Badun, the leader of the Wuhuan, his face is full of joy at this moment.

Earlier, he helped Yuan Shao on a trip, but he didn't do anything, and went back to the two counties, which made him prestige among the Wuhuan tribes soar, and this time he gathered 80,000 warriors to come.

More than last time.

This time he came to Youzhou,

Youzhou is indeed too fragrant, he wants to move the people into Youzhou as soon as possible, not to live that kind of hungry and cold days, but to settle down, just like the Han people to farm and make a living.

"Badun, you're here? Why didn't you let the next person report it, so that I could go out of the city to greet me? Yuan Shao was instantly overjoyed, stepped forward and patted Tonton's shoulder with a happy expression.

He's now exhausted,

I can only pin my hope on Wuhuan and the Huns.

"Hey, I'm going to make them scream!" He waved his hand and asked curiously: "Just now, I heard Yuan Gong you get angry from afar, but what kind of trick did Chu Feng make?" I'm here to avenge you. ”

"Leader of the Badun, the king of my family is still worried about the Chu army on the other side, the Chu army is strong, I'm afraid it's not easy to take revenge!" Feng Ji sneered, he was the third son of Yuan Shang, and he had no good impression of these people.

At this moment, directly dismantle the platform.

You must know that Wuhuan came to help before, but the eggs were not used, but Yuan Shao lost tens of thousands of elites, and his vitality was greatly damaged from then on.

"Chu Jun? Hmph, in my opinion, the Chu army can be destroyed by me, and this time I entered the Central Plains, I mentioned Yuan Gong to destroy Chu Feng! He sneered, not taking Chu Feng in his eyes at all.

"Oh? Is the leader of Badon so confident? Isn't there a clever way to break the enemy and win? You know, the last decisive battle against your Wuhuan Iron Cavalry was not important, which led to the crushing defeat of our lord. ”

Feng Ji snorted coldly and said directly.

"Hmph, then Chu Feng didn't dare to engage our army, he just used some monsters to scare off our army's iron cavalry, this time, I have found the key to breaking the enemy and winning."

He didn't think so, and said proudly.

"Oh Huo, how to break the enemy and win?" Yuan Shao instantly came to his senses and asked.

"Yuan Gong, please take a look!" As he spoke, he took out a furry thing from his bosom, and then explained: "Yuan Gong, although this thing is not conspicuous, it can be stuffed into the ears of war horses,"

"In this way, Chu Feng's strange monster is not worth mentioning, and the war horse will be fearless of the sound, and at that time, slaughtering the Chu army will be like killing a chicken." Full of confidence, he clenched his fists and said.

"Does this really work?" Yuan Shao asked curiously.

"Naturally, I have already sent someone to try to stuff this thing on the war horse, and I will not be afraid even if the gong and drum are suddenly beaten next to him. Last time, I let Chu Feng take advantage of the loophole, this time, I will definitely wash the Chu army in blood to boost the army's prestige. ”

His voice was bold and eager to try.

"Okay, very good, with this thing, maybe you don't need to be afraid of the foreign object that Chu Feng made at all." Yuan Shaole was happy, and he saw hope in an instant, and his heart involuntarily swelled a little.

"Ziyuan, where is the leader of the Huns?" Yuan Shao couldn't help but ask.

"Hey, Yuan Gong, kill the Chu army, why wait for the Huns, my Wuhuan Iron Cavalry is supplemented by Yuan Gong's soldiers and horses, and they can be killed." He waved his hand a little displeased.

This time, he was going to kill Chu Feng with his own hands.

In this case, how can you find the Huns again, isn't this a slap in the face!

"This" Yuan Shao hesitated, he was beaten out of the shadow by Chu Feng, and he didn't dare to agree rashly for a while, he mainly wanted to wait for Cao Cao's reinforcements, and when the time came, Chu Feng would die when the two sides attacked together.

"Yuan Gong doesn't have to be entangled, the Chu army is definitely not an opponent in this battle, Yuan Gong can rest assured." He waved his hand, and grabbed the battle, I will help you beat Chu Feng to death.

Yuan Shao glanced at Xu You and tried to make Xu You decide.

"Lord, even if Chu Feng wants to fight a decisive battle, it is impossible to be in Puyang, since this is the case, it is better to wait for the opportunity to cross the river first, and after capturing Puyang, he will march to Kaifeng and fight to the death with Chu Feng!"

"As for the Cao army, the Hun army, you can act according to the plan." Xu You clenched his fists, said with a deep gaze, Wuhuan reinforcements have arrived, and the possibility of Chu Feng sending troops to help is even lower.

Since this is the case, then he can only abandon Puyang.

But Puyang has the weapons, grain and grass he has hoarded, and he will definitely suffer heavy losses if he gives it up like this.

"However, Cao Cao's side acted according to the plan, and immediately began to arrange the crossing of the river, and after crossing the river, he should surround Puyang as soon as possible, so that Puyang will become a lonely city."

Yuan Shao looked solemn and said immediately.

"No!" All the civil and military forces should go down together.

"Gong Yuan, if I help you destroy Chu Feng this time, then Youzhou should not break its promise, this time I brought 80,000 elites here, I must destroy Chu Feng so that I can move to Youzhou."

His eyes flashed, and Lang smiled.

"Don't worry, these things are indispensable to you, as long as you can help me destroy Chu Feng, not to mention Youzhou, even if it is the northern part of Jizhou, it doesn't hurt to give you a part, but the premise is that you have to help me win."

Yuan Shao said directly that he was dead.

The reason why he gave a fief last time was so that he could still use it this time, and this time, in Yuan Shao's opinion, it was the last time.

"Naturally, you can rest assured of this Yuan Gong, I have been thinking about it for a long time during the time I went back, and the only thing Chu Feng relied on to deal with the cavalry was the monster with abnormal noise."

"Now that I have cracked this thing, no matter how brave Chu Feng is, he will not be able to defeat my 100,000 iron horsemen." He patted his strong chest with a reassuring expression.

But fighting with Chu Feng, Yuan Shao always felt bottomless, and his heart was hairy, it may be that Chu Feng's treacherous and cunning image has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, which makes Yuan Shao instinctively think of this.

"Alright, let's go down and get ready!" Yuan Shao waved his hand, suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and was ready to cross the river at any time, as long as he crossed the Yellow River, he could use the mobility of the cavalry to force the crossing.

"My lord, the Puyang guard general Lu Mengfei and other idle people, after following Chu Feng, he has made countless contributions, and he is one of the five good generals, I am worried that he will send people to attack and disturb during the crossing of the river by our army."

Xu You hurriedly admonished.

"Assault? Hehe, he only has 20,000 soldiers and horses in Puyang City, and he dares to go out of the city to fight? Even if he dares to go out of the city for a decisive battle, how can he prevent my hundreds of thousands of troops? ”

Yuan Shao frowned, but he was also contemplative in his heart, after all, crossing the river was not a matter of time and a half.

"Lord, having said that, just in case, it is better to let out the rumors and say that our army will cross the river in Liyang and Yin'an, if Lu Meng wants to attack it halfway, he will definitely not let go of this opportunity."

"At the same time, you can arrange people to cross the river from Huaxian, with the cover of Liyang Yin'an, Lu Meng will definitely not think of it, even if he thinks about it, he can't do anything, and when the time comes, the three armies can surround Puyang."

Xu You raised his eyebrows and clenched his fists in suggestion.

Yuan Shao nodded, he was still quite satisfied with this arrangement, at least he had a back hand, to ensure that after crossing the river, he could take Puyang, which was extremely crucial, especially the Huns should also arrive.

"Okay, just do what Ziyuan said."

"In addition, send more people to urge Yuan Tan and the Huns to reinforce the army!" Yuan Shao waved his hand and said immediately.

"No!" Someone should go down.

————

In the blink of an eye, a few days later.

A piece of news spread.

On the other side of the Yellow River, in Puyang City.

Lu Meng has been in the army for many years, which has made him much more mature and stable, his skin is slightly dark, but he is a little more resolute and cold, and the 20,000 soldiers and horses under his command are also roaring with him.

Especially Lu Meng is light on money and good at raising people,

It also makes the soldiers under his command extremely respectful and admired.

At the head of the city, Puyang has been reinforced over and over again, and at this moment, there are still soldiers hoarding rolling wood and stones in the aisles, ready to prepare for the next big battle at any time!

At this moment, Lu Meng pressed his sword and led the deputy general to patrol the city, from time to time he straightened the collar of the foot soldiers, patted his shoulder, or simply encouraged them, but gave these soldiers endless faith.

"General, a letter from Yuan Jun's internal work!" At this moment, a ministry will come quickly.

Lu Meng took the letter, glanced at it quickly, and after reading it, Lu Meng's brows became tighter and tighter, his eyes were deep, and he said in a deep voice: "Hmph, Yuan Shao finally can't stop it?" Dare to cross the river just because a Wuhuan came? ”

"General, Yuan Shao is going to cross the river?" The ministry general asked.

"Well, Wuhuan has 80,000 iron horsemen, Yuan Shaoan can't bear it, and is preparing to cross the river in Liyang and Yin'an." Lu Meng frowned and repeated, but he kept thinking in his heart,

"And what about our army?" The ministry will ask.

"Can't let him cross the river, the iron cavalry has no advantage in the beach landing, mainly relying on the boat division and foot soldiers, if he is allowed to land, then Puyang will be surrounded by him sooner or later."

Lu Meng said with a frown.

"In this way, immediately send a message to our army's sailors, ask them to send troops to wait around Liyang, as long as he dares to cross the river, I will dare to attack him halfway and send them to feed the fish and shrimp."

"No!" The general nodded immediately, he could see that his own general was angry, probably wanting to take this opportunity to have a hard time with Yuan Shao.

"General, do you want to ask the lord for advice on this matter?" Another ministry general asked.

"Send someone Pegasus to inform, but the general will not be subject to the military order outside, and Yuan Jun may cross the river at any time, so there is no time to wait for a reply." Lu Meng waved his hand, also with a bit of determination.

"But General, what if this is Yuan Shao's strategy? If Puyang is lost, how will the general stay with the main bus at that time? The general frowned and asked.

"Yuan Shao's main force is in Liyang, eight or nine is not far from ten, so that the scouts can patrol the coast more. As for the lord's side, I will bear it with all my might, and you don't need to be too attentive to fight the enemy with all your might. ”

Lu Meng furrowed his brows, full of murderous aura.

"Okay!" The generals didn't want to say anything, after all, what Lu Meng said was right, it was still six or seven hundred miles away from Kaifeng, and even if the horses galloped fast to deliver information, it would take several days.

"Let's all go down and prepare, the big battle is not far from us!" Lu Meng waved his hand and said with a deep gaze.

"No!" Everyone responded in unison.

Looking at the clouds in the sky, Lu Meng's eyes were resolute, Chu Feng trusted him so much, and entrusted him with the border to guard, no matter what, he had to guard Puyang well.

Even if Wuhuan comes, or the Huns come, he will let these people turn into dry bones and bury them here.

Thinking of this, the five fingers of his sword hilt tightened, and his joints turned white, which showed that his hatred was monstrous, especially that Yuan Shao introduced the two major alien races of the Xiongnu and Wuhuan for his own selfish interests.

Hateful, spittish, punishable!
