Liu Wei ordered Chai Shao to lead the army into Jixian County, and then led Yuwen Chengdu and Zhao Yun and other generals to go south from Lu County and go straight to Yan Township.

Li Ru and Jia Xu accompanied Liu Wei all the way as members of the army.

Along the way, Li Ru deliberately introduced Gongsun Zhan's generals to Liu Wei, especially Yan Gang, who is known as the first fierce general under Gongsun Zhan, and the elite army that is famous all over the world.

"Where righteousness goes, life and death go hand in hand! The sky can be learned, and the white horse is the proof! ”

Li Ru silently recited this slogan that was often on Bai Ma Yicong's lips, then looked at Liu Wei with a solemn face, and said softly: "Bai Ma Yi has been fighting against the Hu people all year round, but he has rarely been defeated, and he can be called a real elite army in a hundred battles, and His Majesty must deal with it carefully." ”

"White Horse Righteousness..."

Liu Wei silently hooked the corners of his mouth, and immediately turned around and glanced at the direction where Yuwen Chengdu was, and said: "My Liaodong Iron Cavalry has Yuwen Chengdu, who is known as invincible in the world, as the commander, and Zilong, who has excellent marksmanship, as the deputy general, and the brave and incomparable An Lushan as the vanguard. ”

Jia Xu smiled slightly, glanced sideways at Tuoba Jiefen, who was walking side by side with Yuwen Chengdu, and then raised his eyebrows playfully, and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has a plan, I don't know whether to talk about it." ”

Hearing this, Liu Wei followed Jia Xu's gaze, and after reading it, he smiled slightly and said: "Wenhe's heart, I already know that this decisive battle should rely more on the Xianbei cavalry. ”

"Your Majesty."

Jia Xu smiled and bowed to Liu Wei.

Three days later.

Liu Wei personally led a large army to 20 miles west of Yanxiang and set up camp.

Liu Wei originally planned to take advantage of Gongsun Zhan's unpreparedness to lead the army to launch a surprise attack on him, but Gongsun Zhan was by no means an easy person, and he actually played a procrastination trick with Liu Bian.

Gongsun Chan sent at least nearly 100 scouts on the march, and the scope of each scout team was expanded to a hundred miles away.

However, in the past three days, at least a dozen scout teams suddenly seemed to have evaporated from the world, and they never appeared in front of Gongsun Chan again.

Seeing this, Gongsun Zhan suddenly became alert, so he deliberately ordered the army to slow down the march, and led three thousand white horses to march slowly towards Lingqiu at the speed of a march of fifty miles a day.

As the old saying goes, don't panic when you have food in your hands, and now the army eats the grain and grass funded by the Yuan brothers, so Gongsun Chan has no psychological burden at all.

The good old man Han Fu was also ordering people to help Gongsun Zhan raise grain and grass in the extremely wealthy Jizhou, so Gongsun Zhan was not in a hurry at all after learning that Liu Wei had not yet sent troops to attack Shanggu and Daijun.

On the way to the march, Gongsun Chan had already roughly guessed Liu Bian's thoughts, and he knew that Liu Bian would definitely be waiting for him in front, trying to seek an opportunity to fight to the death with him, and Liu Bian's move was also in line with Gongsun Zhan's intentions, Gongsun Chan liked to solve all the problems in front of him through force, and he always firmly believed that force was the only correct solution to all problems.

Seven days later.

Gongsun Chan finally led his army to Lingqiu, and then set up camp twenty miles east of Lingqiu, and the two sides faced off almost face-to-face on the outskirts of Lingqiu.

This is very much in line with Gongsun Zhan's style of acting, he is a master who likes to be tough with his opponents.

Gongsun Zhan stood on the sentry tower in front of the gate with his hands, looked in the direction of the Han army camp, and saw that the Han army camp was extremely neatly arranged, so he nodded approvingly, and said: "The camp implies Tai Chi gossip, there is the method of two rituals and four elephants, and it seems that the other party is also a person who is well versed in military strategy." ”

At this time, the scout came to report and said: "Lord Qiqi, the commander of the enemy army stands alone on the sentry tower, and the last general has observed outside the camp for a long time, and sees that he is close to the length of the body, wearing a golden helmet and golden armor, if the last general is not mistaken, the other party's commander should be Yuwen Chengdu who has just led the army to exterminate Wuhuan." ”

Gongsun Chan nodded convincingly and said, "Let's explore again." ”

In fact, Gongsun Zhan knew that Liu Wei was the lord of the northern land, or that everyone knew that the identity of the lord of the northern land was Liu Wei, but they deliberately did not admit it for the sake of their dream of competing in the world.

Gongsun Zhan is convinced of Yuwen Chengdu's command, he has never associated Liu Wei with the four words of eloquence, not only he thinks so, most of the princes in the world also think like this, from the perspective of the world, the reason why Liu Wei was able to successfully occupy the two states of Youliao is because he "pretended" the identity of King Hongnong, and lured many people of insight to come and compete for assistance, so he will have today's achievements.

Gongsun Zhan gently patted the railing in front of him, a confident smile flashed in his eyes, and said: "Yuwen Chengdu is brave and brave, but unfortunately it is shorter than wisdom, and I only know that with a body of force, it is really not a matter of worry." ”

From the information that Gongsun Chan has obtained so far, he has indeed not seen any relevant records of Yuwen Chengdu breaking the enemy with his wisdom, he only saw a fierce and invincible Yuwen Chengdu, so there is nothing wrong with what he just said.

One after another, scouts came to report the military situation to Gongsun Zhan: there was a large pole several zhang high in the enemy camp, with the word Yuwen written on it.

The enemy army is dominated by Xianbei cavalry, and it is estimated that there are about 3,000 people in its camp, while the Han cavalry is supplemented, about 1,000 people.

Hearing that there were 3,000 Xianbei cavalry in the opponent's army, Gongsun Zhan immediately laughed out loud and said, "Even if you are a defeated general, you dare to come and send you to death?" ”

Under the command of Gongsun Zhan, Bai Ma Yicong has fought with the Hu people dozens of times, and has won more and lost less, which can be described as a remarkable record, which is also the confidence of Gongsun Chan to look down on the Hu people.

Gongsun Zhan thought far-reachingly, he planned to kill this Hu cavalry to play the role of knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger, and he even thought of killing this Xianbei cavalry, learning from Liu Wei to build a Jingguan in the north, in order to deter the Xianbei and Xiongnu who were about to move.

In addition, Gongsun Zhan also has another plan, he is ready to beat Liu Bian, and then charge Liu Bian with a top of Hu, so as to confirm the established fact that Liu Biao pretended to be the king of Hongnong, his reason is also very simple, how can the former emperor of the Han Dynasty be in the company of the ambitious Hu people? The Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty will definitely not do anything to help the abuse.

Just as Gongsun Chan was secretly rejoicing in the camp, Liu Bian, who had led the army to quietly leave the camp two days ago, had already led Zhao Yun and Zheng He and 500 Jinyi guards to quietly go around behind Gongsun Zhan's army, preparing to give Gongsun Chan a fatal blow from the rear when the two armies were fighting.
