"If you don't intercept Yang Zhao and let him drive straight into Yecheng and kill under Yecheng, what if it's good?"

Xin Ping insisted on his opinion and must be intercepted halfway.

Guo Tu's thoughts were different, and he stepped forward and said: "Our Yecheng, the city wall is high and thick, as long as we are prepared for defense, we should be able to resist Yang Zhao, it should be no problem, if we go to war, we basically lead the troops to die, which is very inappropriate." ”

Xin Ping said again: "Xiapi is also a high city wall, and in the end, wasn't it also attacked and defeated by Yang Zhao?" ”

Guo Tu thought for a while and retorted: "The prince should send a message to the lord and send some soldiers and horses back for reinforcements, as long as he holds Yecheng, and then raids Yang Zhao from outside the city with reinforcements, the crisis in Yecheng can be resolved." ”

"Gongsun Chan is menacing, we don't have many troops, the lord has to resist the invasion from the north, where is there enough troops to support? What's more, Yang Zhao's troops are not weak. ”

Xin Ping said loudly: "We must not let Yang Zhaobing come to the city!" ”

Guo Tu shook his head and said, "Even if we send troops to stop it, we can't beat Yang Zhao, so why bother to send him to death?" ”

"That's it!"

They still had to quarrel, but Yuan Tan couldn't help but be upset when he heard it.

Not only is Yuan Shao's strength to resist Gongsun Zan insufficient, but even the guards of Yecheng are not very many, and there are probably more than 20,000 people in the city.

In the entire Wei County, the number of all the remaining soldiers was only 30,000.

Yang Zhao is an army of 80,000 when he comes, how can he fight this?

After Yuan Shao occupied Hanoi from Jizhou and Bingzhou, less than 80,000 people from the three places went north, which was already their limit, and compared with Gongsun Zhan, the gap was still very large.

This battle is basically without suspense and will definitely be lost.

"Mr. Xu, what should I do?"

Yuan Tan stopped the two of them and looked at Xu You on the side.

Xu You was slightly moved, and thought for a moment and said: "We should gather all the troops of Wei County and defend Yecheng to the death, the feasibility of fighting is not great, I am afraid that the whole army will be wiped out, and I can't even retreat to Yecheng." ”

Guo Tu echoed: "Ziyuan is right! ”

Xin Ping still had to give a final explanation for his plan, but Yuan Tan was more inclined to Guo Tu's plan, and when he heard that Xu You also agreed, he said decisively: "Pass my order, stick to Yecheng, and send the news here to my father as soon as possible." ”

Xin Ping had no choice but to give up.

So within the Yecheng area, the military and civilians were busy.

In the first battle of Xiapi, how Tao Qian defended the city, they had all heard of it, and quickly copied Tao Qian's method, directly copied the homework, and strengthened various defensive measures.

Worried that there were not enough soldiers guarding the city, Yuan Tan also continued to recruit troops in the city.

asked those families to send a family to support the defense of the city, and asked him to gather a total of 10,000 people.

In addition, in Wei County, there were originally 30,000 people, all of whom were concentrated in Yecheng, and more than 40,000 people defended the city together.

Yuan Tan saw that all kinds of arrangements were completed, and his heart gradually recovered a little confidence.

"It should be able to hold on."

Yuan Tan said worriedly.

Xin Ping thought for a while and said, "What if Yang Zhao uses the method of attacking Pi and flooding Yecheng?" ”

Yuan Tan was stunned.

This is also a serious problem, and he quickly said: "Send the order, prepare for flooding, move food to high places, prepare enough firewood, medicine, ......"

And a new command was sent out in the city.

Before Yang Zhao arrives, all measures must be taken to fight in the next game, which can be said to bring them a lot of experience, all of which can be used for reference.

Outside Yecheng City, there is Zhangshui, which is also the same as Surabaya outside Xiapi City.

——

Yuan Shao had not gone far, and was on the way to the north, when someone suddenly came from the rear to report, saying that there were soldiers hurrying up their horses and whipping up their horses, coming from the direction of Yecheng, and Yecheng had an emergency military situation.

"Bring it up!"

I don't know why, Yuan Shao's heart is a little more uneasy.

After waiting for a while, the soldier sent the letter, he opened it and looked at it for a while, and said angrily: "Yang Zhao, I don't share the sky with you!" ”

"What happened to the lord?"

Yan Liang, who was beside him, asked.

The other generals, as well as the trial and other strategists, also looked at Yuan Shao when they heard such an angry voice.

Yuan Shao said angrily: "Yang Zhao still sent troops, cooperate with Gongsun Zhan, and attack my Yecheng, what do you think?" ”

"Send troops back to help!"

The judge said: "Yang Zhao's strength is stronger, Gongsun Chan is slightly weaker, we must resist Yang Zhao, ensure that Yecheng will not be in danger, and have the ability to fight back, Gongsun Zhan's momentum is huge, but in the north of Jizhou, it is far away from Yecheng, and it is not easy for him to fight down." ”

At present, the most important thing is to boycott Yang Zhao.

Yuan Shao was silent for a while, and then asked a little anxiously: "Yuan Hao, what do you think?" ”

Tian Feng said: "Judging from the current situation, we can only divide the troops into two routes, send 30,000 people to the north, and then gather the troops of the counties and counties in the north, first resist and drag Gongsun Zhan, and our army will come back to help solve Yang Zhao, otherwise Yecheng will not be protected." ”

Once they lose their base camp, they will have nothing.

"What about the others?"

Yuan Shao asked worriedly, and looked at them anxiously.

The fourth and third dukes of the Yuan family, with very high prestige and deep foundations, could not accept that he would be forced to the point of being at a loss by a puppet.

All of them underestimated Yang Zhao's ability.

"I agree with Yuan Hao's approach."

Fu Zhu nodded and said: "We must gather our strength, deal with the strongest first, delay the weakest, beat the strongest back, and then deal with the weakest." ”

The other people who went out with the army nodded in agreement, this was the only method they could use.

Yan Liang shouted: "I want to cut off Yang Zhao's head with my own hands!" ”

Wen Chou was killed, he never forgot it, and he had to go back to take revenge.

"Go back to Yecheng!"

Yuan Shao gritted his teeth and ordered: "Zhu Ling, Jiang Yiqu, you lead 30,000 troops and go north to defend against Gongsun Zhan, and the others will return to Yecheng with me." ”

"Yes!"

Zhu Ling and Jiang Yiqu received the order.

The two sides soon separated, and Yuan Shao led the army and went back south.

——

At the same time.

Twenty miles south of Yishui.

Gongsun Chan had already led his troops into the interior of Jizhou, with 30,000 soldiers as a phalanx, and thousands of cavalry on each wing, facing the enemy's military camp and killing him.

The soldiers of Jizhou, under the leadership of a guard, gathered several counties in the north, a total of more than 30,000 troops, to carry out a preliminary defense, and the reinforcements of Zhu Ling and Jiang Yiqu were far from coming.

"Kill!"

Gongsun Chan drew his sword and snorted.

The ranks of thousands of cavalry were the first to attack, and the horses stepped on the ground, making a loud sound, and rushed towards the enemy camp.

Although Zhao Yun was gone, the White Horse Yicong was still the White Horse Yicong, the strongest cavalry unit under Gongsun Zhan, and rushed to the front of the enemy's military formation in the blink of an eye.
