Gongsun Zhanxian's only ally was Yuan Shao, and the Wei County where Yuan Shao was now located was located in the south and east of Yanmen.

So Xun Yu thought about it for a while, and then speculated about Gongsun Zhan's whereabouts.

Liu Yu worked in Cao's camp tent for a while, then got up and said goodbye.

Before leaving, Xun Yu did not forget to appease the other party: "What Liu Tingshi has done this time, when Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao are pacified, the court will definitely be rewarded." ”

"Thank you Brother Wen Ruo, and thank you Major General for giving me this opportunity to make meritorious contributions."

Liu Yu thanked him, and then left Cao Ying.

After Liu Yu left, Xiahoudun also hurriedly pulled out the camp and marched towards Wei County.

……

Half a month later.

At this time, outside the city of Wei County, Cao Ang was tried.

The scouts sent out by Cao Ang had already discovered the whereabouts of Gongsun Zan and Yuan Tan.

Originally, he planned to put these two groups of people and horses into the city of Wei County to consume the grain and grass in the city.

But unexpectedly, only Gongsun Zhan's less than 10,000 men and horses entered the city of Wei County.

The army led by Yuan Tan stopped at Yangping.

Cao Ang looked at the map and couldn't help but smile and said: "This Yuan Tan is a bit interesting, and he also knows that he is stationed in Yangping and is at odds with his father. ”

"It's just a pity, you don't have food and grass, how long can this horn momentum last?"

Speaking of this, Cao Ang shook his head.

One after another, Yu Ban and Xiahoudun came with people and horses.

Cao Ang asked Xiahoudun to lead his men and horses and garrison them thirty miles west of Wei County, cutting off the road to the west of Wei County.

Yu Ban, on the other hand, was sent to garrison thirty miles east of Wei County, in the middle of the two cities of Wei County and Yangping, to cut off the connection between Yuan Shao and Yuan Tan.

It stands to reason that being stationed in the middle of the two cities is a more dangerous thing, and if you are not careful, you will risk being caught by the military horses of the two sides.

It's just that today's Wei County City is blocked on all sides, the back road in the north is cut off by Han Fu, and the south is led by Cao Ang himself, calling for battle every day.

If there is a slight disturbance in Wei County, then Cao Ang can react quickly.

At this time, in the city of Wei County, Yuan Shaozheng looked at Gongsun Zhan with a bitter face.

And Gongsun Zhan's face was not very good at this time: "Brother Benchu, are you saying that you don't have much grain and grass here?" ”

When Yuan Shao heard this, he nodded with an embarrassed face: "Then Han Fu took advantage of my expedition to rebel against those wealthy families, and now, they are unwilling to provide me with food and grass, and I have nothing to do." ”

When Gongsun Chan heard this, he thought that he had been fighting guerrilla well, but he was stabbed in the back by Liu Yu, and he was directly defeated.

"This Liu Yu and Han Fu shot at the two of us together, shouldn't they get any news?" Gongsun Chan said with an ugly face.

Yuan Shao on the side was also frowning at this time and didn't say a word.

After listening to Gongsun Zhan's words, he stood up and arched his hand at the two.

"Lord, it must be that Cao Ang, who is unwilling to stalemate with us, so he contacted Han Fu and Liu Yu, and came up with a strategy of drawing salaries from the bottom of the kettle, thinking that the purpose is to force us to fight him."

When Yuan Shao heard this, he couldn't help but look solemn: "Now that our morale has been frustrated one after another, how can we fight them a decisive battle?" ”

Gongsun Zhan on the side, his face was also ugly, and the white horse righteous servants he led couldn't play much role in the duel of hundreds of thousands of troops.

Frustrated Zhu looked at the two people with dejected faces, and asked loudly: "Lord, do you want to surrender without a fight, can you bear to watch such a big family business of yours all destroyed by the Cao Group?" ”

"Lord, now the momentum of the Cao army is flourishing, but if it really fights, our army has the momentum of fighting against the water, and it will definitely not be bad!"

After Yuan Shao listened to the words of the frustrated teaching, his eyes gradually lit up again.

As for Gongsun Chan on the side, he naturally didn't want to surrender like this.

After all, for him, if he surrenders, there is a high probability of death.

And he also felt that with the white horse under his command, he might not be able to play any miracles.

It's not okay to charge into battle, so what if after the fight, he leads Bai Ma Yicong to attack Cao Ang?

Thinking of this, Gongsun Chan also spoke to Yuan Shao: "Brother Benchu, fight to the death with that Cao Ang!" ”

Yuan Shao had already closed his eyes at this time, his brows were tightly locked, and after a long while, he opened his eyes and said slowly: "Fight, you must fight!" ”

Seeing that Yuan Shao had strengthened his belief in fighting, he was also happy in his heart, as long as the lord agreed to fight, then he had a way to mobilize morale.

In a battle with the Cao family, it is not yet known who will kill the deer!

"Lord, we still have to find a way to contact the eldest prince, he is now stationed in Yangping, and there is not much food and grass to come, let's contact the eldest prince, and at the time of the decisive battle, let him attack the flank of the Cao army as a countermeasure, so that the chances of our army will increase!"

Fu Zhu made suggestions again, wanting to contact Yuan Tan.

And Yuan Shao knew that the connection between them and Yangping had been severed by the Cao family, so this matter was basically an impossible task.

But even so, give it a try.

One by one, the heralds left Wei County and marched towards Yangping.

It's just that none of these heralds can break through the forbidden blockade, and they are all caught and beheaded.

At the same time, the news that Yuan Shao wanted to fight Cao Ang was also sent to Cao Ang's camp by Yu Ban.

Looking at the letter written by Yuan Shao to Yuan Tan, Cao Ang couldn't help laughing: "He Yuan originally wanted a decisive battle, why don't I want to?" Now that the two counties are facing each other, the amount of grain and grass consumed is also an astronomical amount. ”

"Such a quick solution is exactly what I wanted!"

Cao Ang gave an order and let Yu Bansong let go, so that Yuan Shao and Yuan Tan could get in touch.

Soon, Yuan Shao's war book was also delivered to Cao Ang's hands.

Three days later, a decisive battle was fought in the south of Wei County.

Cao Ang couldn't ask for it, so he directly mobilized Cao Chun's tiger and leopard cavalry, ready to charge.

As for Zhang He led by Yuan Tan and the euphorbia soldiers under his command, Cao Ang directly gave in to Yu Ban to lead troops to block them.

He didn't want the tiger and leopard to ride against the halberders.

Although this tiger and leopard cavalry is well-equipped, it will also lose a lot against the nemesis euphorbia of the cavalry, which Cao Ang does not want to see.

On Yuan Shao's side, he set the decisive battle time three days later, so he naturally wanted to use these three days to boost morale.

After all, this is a battle against the water, and he has no way out.

Yuan Shao brainwashed his soldiers for a while, and also successfully boosted morale.

Three days passed in a flash, and a major battle was about to break out.
