Agents of the Three Kingdoms

Wang Lei sent troops from Ye County without fanfare, but left quietly.After leaving the territory of Ye County, Wang Lei was even more cautious, either traveling by day or night, or walking on the mountain trails during the day, and galloping quickly on the road at night.

At the end of the day, soldiers don't have much time to rest, but that's all.

In Ping'en County, a small road in the mountains.

An army quickly approached the county seat of Ping'en County, with less than eighty miles left.

"Report!"

A sentry ran over to Wang Lei and reported: "My lord, Guan Hai, the Qingzhou bandit, has already launched an attack outside the county seat of Ping'en County. The Yellow Turban bandits under Guan Hai's command divided into two groups to attack. A group of soldiers rushed into the formation set up by General Zhang, intending to attract General Zhang's strength, but they were cut off by the soldiers arranged by General Zhang at various important roads. General Zhang led the army to attack, and the second group of soldiers under Guan Hai immediately Entered, was blocked outside again, difficult to rescue. The first confrontation, Guan Hai lost."

With a smile on the corner of Wang Lei's mouth, he ordered: "Explore again, and pay close attention to the situation of Yuan Shao and Guan Hai."

"Yes!"

The sentinel clasped his fists in response, and quickly exited.

Guo Jia said: "My lord, we hide our whereabouts day and night to prevent Yuan Shao from finding out. Like us, Yuan Shao also has some problems with food and grass. Even if Yuan Shao does not lack food in a short period of time, it is impossible for him to persist for a long time. Once he wins Yuan Shao's granary has cut off Yuan Shao's supply of grain and grass, and this battle must be won."

Wang Lei thought for a while and replied: "Fengxiao means that my army is completely hidden along the way, and then I will send people to look for Yuan Shao's granary. Once they find it, they will immediately destroy the granary and let Yuan Shao run out of food."

"Yes! That's what it means." Guo Jia nodded and said, "There are not many troops in Ping'en County. The [-] soldiers we brought can be quietly sent to Zhang Jai's command. With the support of [-] soldiers, Zhang Jaw support for a while longer."

Wang Lei said: "There are a thousand cavalry from the Feihu Camp, enough to attack the granary. Bring the soldiers from the Tiger Camp, plus Dian Wei, to fully support Zhang Jaw. When Dian Wei appears on the battlefield, Yuan Shao will think that I have arrived. , will not suspect that I am leading troops outside."

Guo Jia frowned and said, "If you do this, the power that the Lord can mobilize will become weaker."

"It's okay, it's settled like this."

Wang Lei flicked his sleeves, and said firmly: "Only by defending Ping'en County can we maintain the current stalemate. Otherwise, once Yuan Shao wins, he will take advantage of the situation and go south, and the location of the granary will change again. That's it, you and Dian Wei Take the Tiger Battalion and ordinary soldiers to join Zhang Jaw, and I will wait for the opportunity."

"Yes!"

Guo Jia stopped rebutting and nodded in response.

……

Ping En County, on the battlefield.

Guan Hai's face was ashen, and he stared angrily at the various hillsides.

He originally wanted to send the first batch of soldiers to lure Zhang Jai's army, and then send the second batch of soldiers to kill Zhang Jai's army in one fell swoop.Unexpectedly, the first army that entered was blocked inside, and the second army led by him was blocked from entering, so that the first army that entered was helpless and defeated.

Entering the first battle in Qingzhou, it just failed.

Huang Shao came to Guan Hai's side and said, "Commander, we are a little reckless in this battle. We are eager to show our strength in front of Yuan Shao, but it will be even more disadvantageous after the defeat."

Guan Hai said: "This is the end of the matter, let's fight again tomorrow."

After the first battle failed, Guan Hai had no intention of continuing to attack, so he and Gao Lan withdrew their troops and returned to camp.

Even though Guan Hai has a thick face, it is quite embarrassing to be anticlimactic.After seeing Yuan Shao, Guan Hai was straightforward, clasped his fists and said, "Guan Hai came here with his troops. He originally wanted to eradicate Zhang Jai for Yuan Gong, but unexpectedly Zhang Jai was extremely cunning. I attacked Zhang Jai continuously, but I couldn't defeat Zhang Jai. Guan Hai I am deeply ashamed and let Yuan Gong see the joke."

Yuan Shao laughed in his heart, thinking that it would be good if he failed, lest you be arrogant.

However, Yuan Shao would not reveal it.

Yuan Shao also looked solemn, and said: "To tell you the truth, I have been stationed in Ping'en County for more than a month, and I have launched several attacks, but so far I have not made any breakthrough. I am also deeply ashamed!"

When Guan Hai heard this, he felt much more relaxed, and thought: "Yuan Shao is worthy of being a son of a big family from a famous family. He has a dignified manner, and he speaks very politely. He is a good person." Invisibly, Guan Hai's impression of Yuan Shao emerged. changed.When they arrived at the beginning, Guan Hai and Yuan Shao tried their best to show off their strength, but they failed in the end.

Hearing Yuan Shao's comforting words, Guan Hai thought Yuan Shao was good.

The reason for this is nothing more than Yuan Shao's failure to add insult to injury.

Yuan Shao continued: "It is difficult for the troops under my command to take down Ping'en County, and it is also difficult for the troops under Commander Qu's to take down Ping'en County alone. However, if the troops are combined, they will definitely take down Ping'en County in one fell swoop."

Guan Hai clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Yuan is wise! Tomorrow's battle, a certain family will obey Mr. Yuan's orders."

When Yuan Shao heard this, his heart felt like he had eaten honey.

This thief is very clever!He's a good thief, worth wooing.

Yuan Shao waved his hands again and again, and said modestly: "Tomorrow, there will be no distinction between you and me. The armies of the two families will attack Ping'en County together and take down Zhang Jaw." , recharge your batteries, and fight again tomorrow."

"Thank you Yuan Gong!"

After Guan Hai left, Yuan Shao, Xu You, Guo Tu and others all smiled.

……

Outside the county seat, the Jizhou army camp.

After counting the losses of the first battle, Zhang Jai sighed softly: "Ju Gong, more than a thousand soldiers were injured in today's battle. Tomorrow's battle, Yuan Shao and Guan Hai will definitely send troops together, it will not be easy to resist!" Rao Zhang Jaw was mentally prepared to withdraw from Ping'en County in defeat, but he was unwilling to face the situation of withdrawing.

Ju Shou said: "This is the end of the matter, the general has done a very good job, don't worry about it."

"Report!!"

Outside the camp, there was the sound of soldiers reporting.

"Come in!"

Zhang Jaw gave an order, and the soldier came in and said, "General, there is a man named Guo Jia outside the camp asking to see him."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jaw hurriedly said: "Please!"

When the soldiers left the camp, Zhang Jaw and Ju Shou looked at each other in confusion.

Why is Guo Jia here?

Not long after, Guo Jia entered the tent.

After Guo Jia took his seat, he smiled and said, "General Zhang has been guarding Ping'en County for more than a month, preventing Yuan Shao from moving forward. My lord appreciates General Zhang's ability very much and often praises General Zhang." Jia changed the topic, and said again: "The problem of food and grass has been resolved, and enough food and grass will be shipped later, and the army led by the lord has also arrived."

Doubt arose in Zhang Jaw's eyes, and he frowned and said, "My lord went north, why didn't I get any news?"

Guo Jia said: "This is to conceal Yuan Shao. The army has arrived and will enter the camp tonight. However, my lord will not come back. My lord's goal is to find Yuan Shao's granary, and make Yuan Shao completely powerless to fight. To achieve this goal , General Zhang has to spend some time to defend Ping'en County and prevent Yuan Shao from advancing to promulgate."

Hearing the words, Zhang Jaw became excited.

With the support of Liangcao and Wang Lei, tomorrow's battle will definitely last.
