The soldier had apparently also climbed the city.

Therefore, Yuan Shao asked.

He had already carefully recalled.

"Hui Fujun, this person who calls himself Liu Xuande, his arms seem to be a little different from ordinary people, he can reach the horse's belly when he sits on horseback, and his ears are also a little big, and his appearance is also thoughtful, so that two long swords are used as weapons."

"In addition to him, there are two strong men on his left and right, one with a leopard head and eyes, a fierce face, and a little dark."

"The other man has a face like a red date, a tall body, and the most obvious purpose is to raise a long beard up to the chest and abdomen, and whoever sees it will never forget it."

When I heard this.

Yuan Shao has already thoroughly determined one point.

Those were the three people who came to attack the county under his name, and they were the three brothers Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

As the soldier said.

These three people are very distinctive, but anyone who has seen them and has a certain impression of them is difficult to forget their appearance and characteristics.

When the princes of Xingyang County met the alliance.

Through Cao Ang's introduction, Yuan Shao met these three brothers, and then had a relationship with them when they met in Nangong County.

So I remember it clearly.

Liu Bei has big ears and shoulders, Guan Yu has a long beard to his abdomen, and Zhang Fei has dark and rough skin and a fierce face.

It may be difficult for anyone to impersonate any of these three brothers, let alone form a group to impersonate, so the matter of pretending to be a name can be ruled out.

Other words.

The one who led the troops to attack the city under his command was really Liu Guanzhang and the others!

……

Think about it here.

Yuan Shao was immediately furious.

"Ah!!h

"Smack!"

A heavy crunch.

The rice bowl that Yuan Shao had been holding in his left hand was slapped heavily on the table, and the hardwood lacquerware made the sound of colliding with the table.

Immediately startled everyone.

"Liu Bei is a puppet, where did he get the courage to dare to sneak attack the city under my rule."

Yuan Shao's anger did not come from the sneak attack on the city under his control.

In the final analysis, the problem lies in the fact that the person who attacked the city was Liu Bei and Liu Xuande.

Liu Bei's status is not high, and he is currently only the county magistrate of a county seat, although this county is the county governor of Pingyuan County, but compared to him Yuan Shao, it is just like that.

Whether it is an official position, a background, or the strength he has at the moment, there is a gap like an abyss between him and the fourth and third princes, and the countless military generals under his command, and the incomparably powerful Yuan Shao.

Such people jump out and provoke themselves.

In Yuan Shao's opinion, it is intolerable.

And an even more important point.

In addition to the above identities, Liu Bei is just a small follower under Gongsun Zhan, and he has not even been able to blend into the power center of Gongsun Zhan's forces.

has always been just fighting on the edge of the middle and lower levels, such people dare to act boldly and recklessly, and bring soldiers and horses to attack themselves, isn't that against the sky?

His opponent is Gongsun Zhan.

If Gongsun Chan raised the banner and said that he wanted to crusade against him, then Yuan Shao would only cheer up his spirit and take it seriously.

But a small character under Gongsun Chan's hands dares to raise such a banner, isn't this slapping him in the face, isn't this trampling on his face?

So Yuan Shao couldn't bear it!

……

"What a Liu Bei Liu Xuande, relying on the fact that there are thousands of people under his hands, he dares to act recklessly, and he doesn't take me in his eyes, he has a way to find death!"

"Immediately order to go down, mobilize the army, and prepare to go south to Xiuxian, Liu Xuande dares to use 2,000 people to fight the city guarded by my 200 people, then I will use 20,000 people to try his 2,000 people!"

"When my army arrives in Xiu County, if he is nearby, it will be the best, if he retreats to Pingyuan County, then I will fight all the way to the plains, if I don't attack him and defeat him, how can I eliminate the hatred in my heart?!"

Yuan Shao was ready to fight Liu Bei to the end.

I have to cripple this guy.

It's just that he has just given the order.

Xun Chen on the side had already stood up, his face looked full of thought, as if he had thought of something, and then bowed slightly to Yuan Shao and dissuaded.

"Fujun, my subordinates have an idea, this Liu Bei was appointed as the county commander of the plains, and it is not a matter of one or two days, if he has the intention of provoking us, then he will definitely not endure until now."

"Besides, it is only a Xiu County, it is already remote, and the population is at the bottom of the counties in Bohai County, even if it is captured by them, it is not a big loss for our army."

"It's all the hard work, just to make us lose face, it has no impact on the essence, but it may cause our army to be overwhelmed, why bother?"

Speaking of this, Xun Chen paused slightly.

Then he said meaningfully.

"So his subordinates suspect that Liu Xuande's move was instructed by someone behind his back."

……

Yuan Shaoke is a smart man.

At this moment, there is only one staff member on the side, Xun Chen.

His decision-making and judgment are at the highest level, so he can understand everything.

I reacted instantly.

Immediately, his eyes widened, and he asked in some surprise: "This Liu Bei is Gongsun Zhan's person, if someone can instruct him, then no matter how you think about it, it will only be Gongsun Zhan, so that barbarian is plotting?" ”

Xun Chen nodded without hesitation.

Then he narrated his analysis.

"After the peace talks in Nangong County, Gongsun Zhan withdrew to the north, and the people under him naturally disappeared, and when they got the news again, this Liu Bei and Liu Xuande had already become the county commander of Pingyuan County."

"Considering that Gongsun Chan once appointed Tian Kai, the general under him, as the assassin of Qingzhou, which shows that he has a plot against Qingzhou, then stuffing Liu Bei to Pingyuan County in advance and using it as a vanguard guard tower will naturally become a useful move."

"Liu Bei has never cut off contact with Gongsun Zhan, and it is very likely that he has been secretly receiving orders from the north, so this time he suddenly led his troops to attack the county seat of Xiuxian, most likely because Gongsun Zhan was instructed behind his back!"

Xun Chen made such an analysis.

Ling Yuan Shao can be described as an initiation.

Thoughts became clear and clear in an instant.

"If you say something, it is very reasonable, so it makes sense, and everything is not strange!"

"Liu Bei is a puppet, he has the courage to act so recklessly, all because Gongsun Chan is behind his back!"

It seems to have figured out who is against him.

Yuan Shao's originally angry heart quickly became calm, and his emotions slowly recovered.

He put the chopsticks he was holding in his right hand on the table, and didn't care about the food that was upside down on the table, but got up and paced in place.

"Youruo, what did you say Gongsun Chan did this for, and what was his purpose?"

"If you want to say that he is just harassing our army and disturbing our army's territory, there is no need to go to such great lengths, and he will not get any great benefits."

"So he must have something else in mind!"

After pacing in place for a few laps, Yuan Shao's face quickly changed and he thought of such a possibility, and then put the doubts in his heart into words.

asked Xun Chen for advice.

…………

Xun Chen was just about to say something.

However, remembering that in addition to himself and Yuan Shao, there was another person present, so he immediately waved his hand behind him and dismissed the soldiers who came to deliver the message.

Fang Cai said to Yuan Shao.

"Fujun, what is the purpose of Gongsun Zhan, his subordinates dare not assert, after all, our army has not received any relevant information, but it can be boldly inferred."

"He instructed Liu Bei to attack the south of my Bohai County from the direction of Pingyuan County to the north, could this be a ploy to attack the east and west, cover people's eyes and ears, and draw our attention to the south?"

Listen to Xun Chen's analysis.

Yuan Shao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

There was a faint flash of inspiration in his mind, but the light flashed away, and he didn't catch it.

After brushing his beard with his hand, Yuan Shao shook his head and immediately continued to ask.

"What a way to hide people's eyes and ears?"

After bowing slightly, Xun Chen walked quickly to the map hanging in the house, then pointed to Youzhou and other places north of Bohai County with his left hand, and drew a line all the way to Pingyuan County from the location of Xiu County with his right hand.

"Liu Bei's soldiers are weak and weak, and they are useless to the overall situation, he is stirring up the sky in the south, and he can't affect our army in the slightest, but there is one thing he can do enough, that is, to make the prince of the mansion angry!"

"Please forgive your subordinates for their offensive words, after you heard that Liu Bei led his troops to attack the county seat, you were already furious and wanted to order the transfer of 20,000 troops to attack Liu Bei."

"Although our army has a large number of generals at present, the entire 20,000 troops still account for a very important part of our army's regulations, and the transfer of this team to the south will inevitably cause the Chinese army to be empty."

Speaking of which.

Xun Chen nodded heavily at Pingyuan County.

His face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice with a solemn expression.

"Once you send troops to encircle and suppress, Liu Bei will lead his troops to withdraw from Bohai County and return to the plains, so if you want to exterminate them all, you must enter the Qingzhou area, so it will take a long time."

"If Liu Bei knows that he is invincible and continues to lead his troops to flee south, then with the anger of your Fujun, he will definitely continue to pursue, which means that there is an army of up to 20,000 people who will always be pinned down far from Nanpi County."

"If it is an ordinary time, it will be fine, but if there is a change in the north, it will be a catastrophe!"

…………

With Xun Chen's stripped of the cocoon, layer by layer analysis.

Yuan Shao was thoughtful from the beginning.

Later, it dawned on me.

Then the whole person fell into shock and shock!

He thought about his performance carefully, and it seemed that everything was given by Xun Chen.

It can be expected that once he sends tens of thousands of troops south to attack Liu Bei according to his original plan, an elephant will step on ants.

So as long as Liu Bei runs vigorously and provokes from time to time on the road, he will be angry, so he will be led around all the time.

This will also result in a loss of 20,000 soldiers and horses in the base camp.

Even if Yuan Shao is strong, such a huge force must account for three to four percent of his total number of soldiers, plus the people under his hands now, he has to be in charge of the entire Bohai Sea and half of the river, and the proportion goes straight to half.

Then just as Xun Chen said.

Once Gongsun Chan takes advantage of this time to do something, his combat power is not as good as his own, and he will fall into the disadvantage in an instant and be pressed to the ground and crushed fiercely.

It may even be that before the return of the southward army, his Yuan Shao's troops had already suffered several defeats, and they would not be completely disqualified from competing for Jizhou.

Come to think of it.

Yuan Shao couldn't help but feel a little chilled.

He didn't expect Gongsun Chan to be so yin!

…………

"What a Gongsun Bogui, a good white horse general, is so insidious and vicious that he wants to use a little Liu Bei to contain the strength of our army."

"Fortunately, if you see through his plan with your discerning eye, and make his efforts in vain, otherwise I would have fallen for his plan if I didn't notice it for a while."

Listening to the fear in Yuan Shaona's words, and the praise that was faintly conveyed to himself.

Xun Chen bowed slightly.

Full of humility, he smiled and said, "Fu Jun was just angered by Liu Xuande, and his mind was unstable for a while, so he lost his judgment." ”

"Even if your subordinates don't say it, after you calm down, you will be able to think clearly."

Ignore these humble words.

Yuan Shao was only after a little contemplation.

His eyes flickered, and he sighed meaningfully: "Since Gongsun Chan has set up such a plan, he must be prepared, it seems that he is planning to start a war with our army again, and he will decide the victory or defeat with me." ”

In this regard, Xun Chen bowed slightly.

Learning from Yuan Shao's example, he turned his gaze to the north, although he was blocked by the courtyard wall and couldn't see anything, his eyes seemed to pass through everything, and he saw Gongsun Zhan, who was reorganizing his arms in the north and gearing up.

"What Fu Jun said is that if his subordinates expect it to be true, Gongsun Chan should have mobilized troops and horses at this moment, and when Liu Bei succeeds, he will immediately lead his troops south and go straight to the base camp of our army."

"After all, in the past few months of the truce, both of our families have been recuperating, and Gongsun Zhan's speed of recuperation is far less than ours, and if it continues to drag on, his chances of victory will only get smaller and smaller."

"So when Cao Zixuan is in Yuzhou now and has no time to take care of the affairs of Jizhou, he uses his already powerful soldiers and makes a little trick, and all this makes sense."

……

For these analyses above.

Yuan Shao was convinced.

The reason why he and Gongsun Zhan were able to get along well for nearly half a year was completely dependent on their balanced situation.

But equilibrium is meant to be broken.

The combat power in the north is strong, and the comprehensive strength on his side is higher, and the recovery power is quite amazing.

As long as Gongsun Chan takes a breath and confirms that Cao Ang, the helper of the Yuan family, will not interfere, then he has the capital to make a quick decision.

On the other hand, Yuan Shao's side.

As long as it continues to drag on, with his fame and heritage, his strength will only get stronger and stronger, and when it comes to a certain period of time, it will be enough to drag Gongsun Chan to death.

As long as Gongsun is cool.

The master of the entire land of Jizhou has been decided, and no one can compete with him anymore.

Presumably, Gongsun Chan also clearly understands these truths, so he will resort to such a set of schemes, in a vain attempt to divide his troops, and then win the battle.

Think about it here.

Yuan Shao immediately sneered.

"His plan has been broken for me, and it will be difficult to think of the effect again, but since he wants to fight, then I will accompany him to fight, and let him know that these ghost tricks alone are useless!"

"Pass on my order, the three armies of all sizes will immediately reorganize their armaments for battle, and first send a vanguard to advance to the northwest, and be sure to block the road of Gongsun Chan to the south."

"As for Liu Xuande's side, it is enough to send a general and lead 5,000 people south to crusade."

"I want Gongsun Zhan to not be able to get any benefits, but I also have to lose Liu Bei's soldiers and horses!"

…………

Under Yuan Shao's emergency military order.

The troops surrounding Nanpi County and the surrounding counties were immediately mobilized.

Except for a part of the troops left behind to be stationed in the base camp, the rest advanced to the north, and successively deployed and garrisoned several cities along the way.

And Gongsun Zhan, who was originally in the northern part of Hejian and the southernmost part of Youzhou, was recuperating.

Seeing Yuan Shaojun's actions.

thought that Yuan Shao was going to fight a decisive battle with himself.

Although he didn't understand Yuan Shaojun, who was weak in combat power and could follow the rules in the past, why he was now dizzy and took the initiative to start a war with himself.

But since the enemy has reacted.

Then you have to deal with it yourself.

At that moment, he did not hesitate to lead the troops south, and tens of thousands of elite soldiers, including the Youzhou Iron Cavalry, immediately became a prairie fire and advanced all the way to the middle line.

Gongsun Jun and Yuan Jun formed a confrontation in the north-central zone.

Neither side would give in, and the war was on the verge of breaking out, and neither side would explain their motives for advancing their troops here, let alone what was being said on the other side.

but every day he sent men to shout and curse in front of the battle.

But they all exercised restraint for various reasons.

However, if the friction continues to heat up according to this trend, it is very likely that the flames of war will really burn and turn into a huge war in which both sides will invest more than 80,000 troops.

And at the same time.

Yuan Shao was sent to the south to relieve the danger of being trapped in Xiu County, and by the way, he exterminated Liu Bei's army and captured Liu Bei's 5,000 soldiers and horses alive.

But it was in vain.

Because when they arrived in Xiu County with their troops.

Only to learn that Liu Guanzhang's troops, who had besieged the city for three or four days and stopped whenever they were about to break the city, had withdrawn from the boundary of Xiuxian County at this time.

Maybe they have all returned to Pingyuan County.

According to Yuan Shao's original meaning, it was chased to the ends of the earth, and Liu Bei was going to be hammered.

It's just that now that the war in the north is about to break out, there can be 5,000 more fresh troops, it is likely to rewrite the situation of the war, and it can also be a little more sure of victory.

So that's it.

There was no need for the army to continue the pursuit.

After confirming that Xiuxian had not suffered any losses, and instructed the county commander Yuan Zhen to remain vigilant for the next period of time, hoard materials to defend the city, and not take it lightly, the army immediately turned around and headed north.

…………

The time was set back to the day Liu Beijun withdrew.

It is located twenty miles southeast of Xiu County, where the army is encamped.

In the tent of the Chinese military camp, the handsome flag fluttering high, and the big characters embroidered on the flag have been quietly changed from "Liu" to "Cao".

At the moment it is in the tent.

The three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang gathered together, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei squinted and widened their eyes, sitting around Liu Bei like two door gods.

Outside the camp are the pro-soldiers.

"General, the villain has sent someone to investigate, and there are no spies sent from Xiuxian County around, and our army has now disappeared."

"However, for the sake of safety, a few groups of people and horses were arranged to cruise around the vicinity in case of emergencies and to be able to respond."

And with the sound of the soldier fell.

Immediately the order came from the tent.

"Okay, that's good!"

"But do one more thing, after changing the flag, let the soldiers change the clothes on their bodies and erase all traces from before!"

……

After the soldiers were ordered to leave.

Liu Guanzhang and the three of them looked at each other a few times.

Then suddenly there was a burst of laughter, and this hearty laughter spread throughout the entire Chinese military camp tent, and even the tent was shaken slightly.

After laughing out loud for a while.

The three barely calmed down.

"Second brother and third brother, let's wash your face!"

With Liu Bei's order, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei immediately faced the bucket that had been prepared, and poured water on their bodies and faces.

And take advantage of this time.

"Liu Bei", who was in the main position, came to "Guan Yu" and "Zhang Fei", and unceremoniously slapped the two of them on the back.

The next second.

Something very mysterious happened.

"Boom!"

From the faces and bodies of Guan Zhang and the others, a large amount of dust of various colors collapsed in an instant, as if sprinkling colored powder in midair.

Falling to the ground, there was a dusty rustling sound, and the scene was extremely strange.

And the most surprising.

It is after the dust has fallen.

Guan Zhang and the others quickly revealed their original figures and faces, revealing their true identities hidden under disguise.

It's Dian Wei and Xu Chu!

From start to finish.

The two men who followed "Liu Bei" and shouted outside the gate of Xiuxian County, and their voices were terrifying, and they were always disguised by Cao Ang's left and right bodyguards.

And deduce from this.

The person who plays Liu Bei.

Naturally, it's Cao Ang himself!

"Zhongkang, pat me on the shoulder!"
