After conducting a profound self-examination, Liu Xie asked Guo Jia how Liu Bei survived, and Guo Jia did not betray Guan Zi and told him truthfully.

"Five thousand soldiers and horses, ten days to capture Pei County?"

Liu Xie felt incredible when he heard this.

Although Pei County is not big, it is impossible to capture it within ten days with 5,000 soldiers and horses.

"That's right."

Guo Jia nodded, and continued: "But in fact, it is not as difficult as Your Majesty thinks to capture Peixian. ”

"Peixian is just a small city, which can accommodate tens of thousands of soldiers and horses at most, if it is only Liu Bei who takes 5,000 people to attack, then it is indeed extremely difficult to capture; However, Liu Bei has been operating in Pei County for a long time, and there must be a strategy in the city. Under the combination of inside and outside, and Yuan Shao's army to suppress the formation, the morale of the defenders in the city will inevitably be affected, and Lu Bu may not dare to send a large army to help, so Liu Bei may not be a dead chess now. ”

"All in all, it is not easy to rely on this opportunity to fight for a chance to survive."

Guo Jia analyzed this, and Liu Xie's heart suddenly understood.

At the same time, he also admired Liu Beisheng a little.

is worthy of being the future lord of Shu Han, which is really unusual.

After feeling emotionally in his heart for a while, Liu Xie said: "You continue to investigate secretly, if there is any new news, remember to tell me in time, or let Zhang He convey it on your behalf." ”

Now Guo Jia is his eyes and ears buried on Yuan Shao's side.

Through Guo Jia, he can grasp Yuan Shao's every move, as well as changes and various news in the outside world, which Zhang He can't do.

"Obey."

……

This year can be described as a year of ups and downs.

However, after the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, nothing else happened.

Yuan Shao began to dispatch troops and collect grain and grass to prepare for the opening of the army.

Liu Guanzhang and the three of them led 5,000 soldiers and horses and began to practice day and night.

And Liu Xie, under Yuan Shao's arrangement, went to the suburbs to worship the heavens, worship the ancestors, and pray for the blessings of the Han Dynasty.

Everything is going according to plan.

Soon half a month passed.

On the sixteenth day of the first month, the fire meets the greedy wolf, and the honest couple is dual.

It is advisable to point the generals and go on the expedition.

In order to suppress Liu Bei's formation, Yuan Shao prepared a full 50,000 soldiers and horses this time, let the army march together, and followed Liu Bei to attack Peixian.

And what is the concept of 50,000 people?

Liu Xie is actually not very clear.

In the past, when I read history books and watched TV series, I couldn't help but see an army of 100,000 or hundreds of thousands, but he didn't have a clear understanding, it was just a number in his eyes, and 50,000 was not much in his opinion.

But this time he saw it with his own eyes.

Above the Yecheng Tower.

Liu Xie looked at the army outside the city that stretched for miles, like a black wave, and could not be seen at a glance, and felt the shock from the bottom of his heart for the first time.

The banner is fierce, the iron armor is majestic, and the sword is cold.

In the face of such an army, Liu Xie really understood how small a person is and how terrifying Yuan Shao's strength is.

You must know that this is only a part of Yuan Shao's army! The army under Yuan Shao's command is more than 50,000!

"Is this the essence of the fourth and third princes of Yuan?"

Liu Xie suppressed the shock in his heart, thought silently in his heart, and at the same time set his eyes on the others beside him.

Not only he was the only one on the tower of the city gate, but also Liu Guanzhang and the three people, as well as Yuan Shao and a number of civil and military generals under his command, all gathered here.

Because today is the day of the review of the army, the day of the army.

Unlike Liu Xie's shock, the other people's reactions looked much more flat, even in the face of such a terrifying army, they didn't show much shock.

It seems that he is the only one who has never seen the world.

Coming to this embarrassing conclusion, Liu Xie decided not to speak, and pretended to be cold first, so as not to show timidity.

And Yuan Shao looked at the army outside the city, with a hint of smugness on his face, holding the sword at his waist, he looked at Liu Bei, and said with a smile.

"Xuande, this time I plan to send 50,000 troops to suppress the battle for you, and I will definitely be able to help you take Peixian!"

Liu Bei was also covered in armor, and when he heard the words, he said: "The general has done his best to help, I am grateful, and I will go all out!" Fulfill the mission! ”

He understood that the army of 50,000 was both a crushing battle for him and a sharp blade across his neck.

If he takes Pei County, everything is easy to say.

If he can't take it, then he will be dealt with by military law first, and then Yuan Shao's army will go out again to capture Peixian!

"Good!"

Yuan Shao was very satisfied, and then said: "In this battle, you will be the vanguard, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei will be your deputy generals, and a total of 5,000 soldiers and horses will be led to attack Pei County!" ”

"This is a military talisman, and with this order, the Shanzi battalion can be mobilized!"

Yuan Shao threw an iron talisman to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei took it with both hands, then clenched his fists heavily, and said solemnly: "General Xie!" ”

Then he turned around and went downstairs with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

After Liu Bei left, Yuan Shao said again: "Where are Yan Liang and Wen Chou?" ”

"The last general!"

Yan Liangwen and Chou came out together.

Yuan Shao also threw them two talismans, and said coldly: "You each lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to live on the left and right flanks of the army, always pay attention to Liu Bei's movements, if he wants to escape from the battle, immediately lead the army to kill him on the spot!" ”

"If he fails to attack the city, they will take Pei County!"

His words were filled with deep murderous intent.

"The last general commands!"

Yan Liang and Wen Chou took the talisman and also retreated.

After doing all this, Yuan Shaocai completely relieved his heart, looked at Liu Guanzhang and the three people who had already left the city and went to the army downstairs at the city gate, and smiled coldly.

It's all his pawns.

This time, no matter what, he will take Pei County, and in the future, he will use Pei County as a springboard to seize Xuzhou, how can Lu Bu confront him?

And after occupying this Xuzhou, he can free his hands to attack Gongsun Zan in the north, Yuan Shu in the south, and Cao Cao in the west, and then the world will be at his fingertips!

As for Liu Bei? But there are dry bones in a mound!

He Yuan Shao is the real destiny!

Thinking of this, Yuan Shao could no longer suppress his agitated mood, suddenly pulled out the sword at his waist, and shouted: "The army is open!" ”

"Knock Knock ——!"

The earth-shattering drums sounded, and the 50,000 troops shouted angrily in unison, and the shouts soared into the sky.

Liu Xie looked at such a scene and was extremely shocked in his heart.

He also aspires to be able to hold soldiers and horses and compete in the world.

"Special mother, Lao Tzu is just a puppet son now, or an impostor."

"I have to discuss with Guo Jia the plan to occupy the magpie's nest."
