"A bunch of rubbish! 60,000 troops, that's 60,000 troops! It's 60,000 steamed buns, and Yuan Qi and Sun Ce have to gnaw on them for a while, and in one day, you will destroy my 60,000 army? Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

As Yuan Bai's chief strategist, Yan Xiang glanced at Chen Ji and Han Qu, who were dejected, and said with a sigh: "What an ambush on all sides. Xiaobawang really deserves its name. ”

Yan Xiang's words angered Yuan Bai, Yuan Bai drew his sword, pointed at Yan Xiang and shouted angrily: "What do you mean? Give Yuan Qi prestige in front of me? Yan Xiang, don't think that I don't know your thoughts, when I wanted to succeed to the throne, you repeatedly blocked me, and later heard that all the princes from all walks of life came to crusade against me, so you secretly sent all your wives and children away from Shouchun, are you going to betray me?"

Yan Xiang listened to Yuan Bai's words, and the last glimmer of hope for Yuan Bai in his heart was also ruthlessly dispersed by Yuan Bai. didn't even have the heart to open his mouth to defend himself, Yan Xiang simply closed his eyes and didn't look at Yuan Bai. At such a time of life and death, Yuan Bai not only did not discuss with the ministers about the enemy's strategy, but was suspicious of the ministers of the humerus, this is the rhythm of death.

Yan Xiang's actions made Yuan Bai's anger even stronger, and Yuan Bai snorted coldly and said: "To tell you the truth, your wife and children have all been stopped by the people I have sent to stop you, and they will be beheaded in the square later, so as to correct the military discipline! ”

The closed eyes snapped open. Yan Xiang seemed to be shocked by Yuan Bai's words, but after a while, Yan Xiang calmed down and said with some trembling: "That's it, just the so-called no eggs under the nest, the destruction of the country should be the death of the family, the old minister has nothing to say, just want to die quickly!"

Yuan Bai had a gloomy face, and ordered the warriors in front of the hall to pull Yan Xiang, Chen Ji and Han Xian out and kill them together. The ministers saw this. They all used the fact that it was a big disadvantage to kill the generals in battle. Ask Yuan Bai to be gracious and spare these three people for the time being. Under the bitter comfort of everyone, Yuan Bai temporarily calmed down his anger and ordered the three of them and their families to be imprisoned instead. Imprisoned.

Subsequently. Yuan Bai was reappointed as his nephew Yuan Yin as the commander, and the general Yang Da was the deputy general, leading the 50,000 troops south to resist Yuan Qi and Sun Ce.

As soon as Yuan Qi arrived, he broke the stalemate in the war. The news of easily killing Yuan Bai's army all the way quickly flew to the ears of the other princes as if it had grown wings. In this regard, the attitude of the princes of all walks of life is different. The most anxious were Yan Liangwen Chou and the three Yuan Ding's subordinates, who never expected that Yuan Qi would come first and snatch the first merit of the battle. After the three of them discussed, in line with the idea of taking more credit and gaining more prestige, they stepped up their attack on Qiaomao, since it has become a fact that Yuan Qi snatched the first merit, then they must grab the second major merit. Especially in the trial, his wisdom is at the first-class level, and he clearly sees that Yuan Bai is bound to perish, so he must seize the credit as soon as possible, so that he can restore Yuan Ding's prestige to the greatest extent and establish a fair image of Yuan Bai's righteous annihilation.

is different from the idea of trial, Ugong Zhaolie's reputation is not as bad as Yuan Ding, so Ugong Zhaolie is not in a hurry to make contributions, and is still focused on preserving his strength, and continues to fight against Zhang Xun tepidly. Even Unomiya Terulie was still thinking about whether to cheat a few battles and let Zhang Xun relax his vigilance, maybe in that case, Zhang Xun would mobilize some of his troops to Qiao Mao's side to help Qiao Mao stabilize the situation. In this way, it can not only reduce the pressure on his side, but also effectively consume part of Yuan Ding's strength. Thinking that it was about to be done, Ugong Zhaolie immediately ordered Xiahou to defeat two battles, and then hurriedly retreated for 30 miles, hanging up the battle exemption card. Zhang Xun saw this battle, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, the lord is now defending the enemy on all sides, and Ugong Zhaolie is exempt from war, which is just enough to increase reinforcements for other roads and maintain the integrity of the lord. The trial did not expect that Yuan Baijun would suddenly have more than 20,000 reinforcements, and without noticing it for a while, he was caught off guard and was ambushed by Yuan Baijun, fortunately, Yan Liangwen and Chou were all famous generals at that time, and the two bravely protected the trial and escaped, but unfortunately, the 50,000 troops brought in, at least 10,000 failed to escape.

When Ugong Terulie learned that Zhang Xun really divided his troops to rescue Qiao Mao, and ambushed the trial match, so that the trial match lost more than 10,000 soldiers, he couldn't help laughing twice, and then immediately ordered to storm Zhang Xun's camp. Zhang Xun was caught off guard, and was attacked by Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan brothers from the front and back, and Zhang Xun died in the hands of Xiahoudun. Of the 30,000 Yuan Bai troops under Zhang Xun, half were killed, and the other half surrendered to Unomiya Terulie. In this way, Ugong Terulie won the second merit of the crusade against Yuan Bai without much effort.

On the other hand, after Taishan heard that Yuan Qi had taken the first credit, he felt a wave of indignation in his heart. This Yuanqi, in Taishan's heart, is specially here to block him. As long as Taishan wants to show his skills, Yuan Qi will definitely intervene sideways, and then coincidentally take the fruits of victory away from Taishan's hands. Originally, after Taishan learned that Yuan Ji had come up, he had already planned to accept it when he saw it, and some of the benefits were also in his hands, so it was time to retreat. Finding a territory that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and taking it into your own hands is Taishan's established strategy. However, unlike Taishan's attitude, Guan Wei and Zhang Wu strongly advocated taking the opportunity to unite people from all walks of life to pacify the puppet emperor Yuan Bai in one fell swoop, and even Mi Zhu, who had recently joined his command, also agreed with the two people's ideas.

If it was just Guan Wei and Zhang Wu, Taishan was completely sure and persuaded the two to obey his orders. But there is one more Mi Zhu. Tarzan could no longer use his best tear offensive. Mi Zhu's help to Taishan is huge, without Mi Zhu's money and food, Taishan would not have been able to let Tao Qian's five thousand elite soldiers willingly obey his orders. And Mi Zhu has just joined Taishan's command not long ago. The first time he made a suggestion, he was refuted by Tarzan and went back. It will inevitably cause estrangement in Mi Zhu's heart. Taishan didn't want to lose Mi Zhu, the god of wealth, because of this.

Therefore, Taishan had to change his original intention and temporarily give up the idea of fighting for territory. He led the army to continue to fight guerrilla warfare with Lei Bo, while pinning down Lei Bo and creating fighters for several other princes, while seizing armaments and materials and surrendering troops from Lei Bo as much as possible, and preparing to expand his strength.

Just when the princes from all walks of life had their own plans, an explosive news once again stole everyone's attention. Yuan Qi won the battle again, he actually hit the men and horses sent by Yuan Bai again overnight, and in just seven days, he defeated Yuan Bai's three-way army one after another, directly shaking Yuan Bai's roots!

Here's the thing, after Chen Ji and Han Qu were defeated and returned to Shouchun, Yuan Bai immediately let his nephew Yuan Yin be the main general, and Yang Da was the deputy general, leading an army of 50,000 to resist Yuan Qi. After learning that Yuan Bai had sent these two people, Yuan Qi didn't care, pulled Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, and only took a dozen elites of the Heavenly Return Army to see the terrain in advance. Afterwards, the three of them agreed that with Yuan Yin's use of troops, they would definitely set up their camp in a valley fifteen miles away from the Yuan and Sun coalition armies.

The terrain of the Jianghuai region is mostly hills and plains, interspersed with large and small rivers and lakes. These places are conducive to the use of troops, but not to the holding. Yuan Yin is another son of the Yuan family after Yuan Bai, and with his temperament, he will definitely station the camp in a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so as to reduce the pressure on himself in the face of the Yuan and Sun coalition forces.

Within the twenty miles of the Yuan and Sun alliances, there was only a valley of fifteen miles away, surrounded by mountains on three sides and an exit on one side, which was the most in line with Yuan Yin's camping standards. As long as Yuan Yin is full of heavy troops at the exit, he will defend the valley mouth to the death, and then let the soldiers in the battalion climb the low mountains around him and deal with the Yuan and Sun coalition forces with bows and crossbows, even if the coalition army has 100,000 people, he will not want to be able to capture Yuan Yin's camp in a short time.

War horses are one of the extremely expensive armaments, so the sergeants are mainly infantry. It is very rare for Yuan Qi to form such a system of elite cavalry princes. So far, the only cavalry that is famous in the world are the Tiangui Army under Yuan Qi, the Flying Dragon Army, the Iron Cavalry Army entrenched in Xiliang, and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry under Ugong Terulie. Even Yuan Ding, the richest man among the princes, was reluctant to spend a lot of money to form elite cavalry, and the two elite armies of the Xiandeng Battalion and the Great Spearmen under his command were all infantry. Of course, the once famous Flying Bear Army of the Wolf Cavalry, White Horse Yicong and Dong Meng are also excellent cavalry elites, but these three cavalry have been merged into the Tiangui Army and the Flying Dragon Army of Yuan Qi. Therefore, in the era when infantry troops were the mainstay, when marching and fighting, the distance of fifty miles was basically an absolutely safe distance, and those who wanted to maintain pressure on the enemy without being too aggressive would generally choose a distance of fifteen to thirty miles.

From this, Yuan Qi and the three deduced that Yuan Yin would definitely set up camp in the valley fifteen miles away. So, Yuan Qi prepared a meeting gift for him before Yuan Yin arrived. Before going south this time, Yuan Qi explained the knowledge of oil field development to Wang Yezi in detail, Wang Yezi is a smart person of the Son of Heaven, and after getting Yuan Qi's teaching, he immediately understood the wonderful use of crude oil. So, Wang Yezi rushed to Buyeo with a hundred craftsmen close to him, and with the help of Wei Yan, the general who guarded Buyeo, he carried out the first development of the oil fields in Buyeo.

Because the preparation in the early stage was not sufficient, the amount of crude oil developed for the first time was not much, and after the refining method taught by Yuan Qi and purified it, only a dozen cylinders of clear oil were finally obtained. After the clear oil was refined, Wei Yan immediately arranged for his cronies to cover the dozen jars of clear oil in a cloth curtain, and then transported it to Yanjing in a carriage for Yuan Qi to see. At the beginning, Yuan Qi had told Wei Yan about the role of the oil field, and Wei Yan knew that the use of crude oil would have a far-reaching impact in the future, so Wei Yan did not dare to slack off at all, not only sent heavy troops to escort it, but also strictly guarded the entire oil field.

After Yuan Qi saw these dozen cylinders of clear oil, although he was still not very satisfied with the purification of crude oil, thinking that there were too many impurities in the clear oil, which affected the value of the clear oil, but these dozen cylinders of clear oil came too timely, and it just happened to be used by Yuan Qi as the most advantageous weapon to eliminate Yuan Bai.

Therefore, before Yuan Yin arrived, Yuan Qi had already made preparations, he asked his soldiers to smear the clear oil on the grass and trees in the valley in advance, and also took out three jars of clear oil separately to soak the dry firewood, and then piled the soaked dry firewood in stacks on the top of the mountain.
