Chapter 278

Jizhou, Yecheng.

Yuan Shao is very happy recently, the reason is very simple, he has [-] elite cavalry under his command, it can be said that he is like a fish in water, invincible.

These [-] cavalry were all elite cavalry trained by Lu Bu himself, and they were by no means an ordinary miscellaneous army.

Yuan Shao's own cavalry is only about [-], and they are all mobs.

But now he has [-] cavalry in his hands, absolutely sweeping the entire Jizhou, and even the whole world.

Therefore, he also disdains Pan Yuzhou's Feng, thinking that Pan Feng is just a waste, not even a general under his command, sitting on a treasure land without knowing how to expand.

Lu Bu and Guo Tu were also very happy, as were the two brothers Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang.

Only in this way can the Yuan family be considered stable.

"Father, my son requests to go out and destroy Gongsun Zan!" Yuan Tan stood up and clasped his fists.

At a young age, Yuan Tan already had a reputation of being beheaded by 3000 people. In addition, he was the eldest son, so he was also highly valued. Now he commands [-] infantry and is in charge of the power of Jizhou.

Yuan Shang also said: "Father, my son is willing to be the vanguard of the army and destroy Gongsun Zan!"

Yuan Shao looked at the two sons, Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang, and nodded with satisfaction in his heart. It is the best thing for them to be sensible, and it is worthwhile to spend a lot of time cultivating them.

"Guo Tu, Tian Feng, what do you two think?" Yuan Shao turned to look at Guo Tu and Tian Feng and asked.

He also hoped that these two counselors could speak out to prevent Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang from going out, but in doing so, they would lose the opportunity to train them and leave them no room for improvement.

But Yuan Shao didn't know Guo Tu and Tian Feng's strategy, he just thought that if they objected, he would let Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan stay.

"My lord, since the two young masters have this idea, why not let them have a try." Tian Feng said indifferently.

This plan was discussed and decided by him and Guo Tu, and he did not tell Yuan Shao.

Seeing this, Yuan Shao also nodded.

"Fengxian, you lead [-] cavalry to Youzhou, and you must defeat Gongsun Zan." Yuan Shao said to Lu Bu beside him.

A trace of bitterness flashed across Lu Bu's face, and he said, "At first, a certain family...was not good at the bitter cold of Youzhou."

Lu Bu is really not good at the environment of Youzhou, which makes it more difficult for him to adapt.

"It doesn't matter, you can bring one cavalry, and the other part of the cavalry is still stationed in Jizhou." Yuan Shao said: "After defeating Gongsun Zan this time, I will definitely give you the title of Shepherd of Youzhou."

"No!" Lu Bu responded.

Lu Bu really didn't like the climate and environment in Youzhou, but it was impossible for him to refuse Yuan Shao's reward, so he could only bite the bullet and agree.

"Tan'er, Shang'er, you two led [-] infantry to Youzhou to cooperate with Marquis Wen." Yuan Shao said to Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang.

"Here!" The two responded in unison.

Yuan Shao sent them out this time because he was going to sharpen them.

Yuan Shao believed that as long as they experienced this battle, Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang would definitely grow a lot and be able to take charge of their own.

At least, they already have the bravery to charge for a while.

……

"Marquis Wen, we have to be more careful when we go to Youzhou this time," Yuan Tan said.

Lu Bu said in a deep voice: "Well, someone knows that Gongsun Zan did have some strength when he told me about the situation in Youzhou at the beginning."

"However..." Lu Bu suddenly paused for a moment and said, "We have cavalry, which are fast and powerful. Even if we encounter Gongsun Zan's white horse righteous follower, we will not be afraid. We only need to break up the opponent's formation, and then pursue them. can annihilate them all.”

"Marquis Wen is right." Yuan Tan nodded slightly. He had no doubts about this point. After all, the cavalry under Lu Bu's command was not just a large number.

Moreover, each of these cavalry was elite, and their equipment was excellent, not weaker than that of Gongsun Zan's cavalry.

If the two sides encounter each other, it is really hard to say the outcome.

"Let's go." After Yuan Tan greeted, he led the army out of Jizhou slowly.

And Lu Bu followed behind.

As soon as Lu Bu left Jizhou, he found an army not far away, which seemed to be preparing to attack Jizhou.

"Hmph, sure enough, Gongsun Zan can't bear it anymore?"

After Lu Bu sneered, he immediately led the cavalry to meet him.

Soon the two sides fought together. Except for Lu Bu himself, the cavalry on Lu Bu's path belonged to Lu Bu's private soldiers, so the combat effectiveness was relatively strong, and they kept cutting down the cavalry on the opposite side.

Soon, Gongsun Zan's army could not hold back, and they were defeated and fled.

"Pursuit." Lu Bu shouted, and his cavalry pursued without hesitation, continuing to chase the defeated soldiers in the city under Gongsun Zan's command.

Gongsun Zan was still in Youzhou at this time, and didn't know about it, but his brows furrowed tightly after hearing the news from the front line.

"Damn it, this Yuan Shao dared to sneak in!" Gongsun Zan cursed secretly.

He had known for a long time that his backyard had been burned, which made Gongsun Zan so angry that he wished he could go south and attack Jizhou.

"Report!" At this moment, a scout rushed to report: "My lord, Jizhou has sent reinforcements, about [-] to [-], and they are rushing to Xuzhou."

"What?" Gongsun Zan was surprised. Where did the reinforcements come from Jizhou? Why didn't he hear any news?

Moreover, why did Yuan Shao raid Xuzhou?This is completely inconsistent with Yuan Shao's behavior style.

"Pass down the order, strictly defend the guards, order all the cities to fortify the walls and clear the fields, strictly prohibit any people from entering or leaving the city gates, and those who violate it will be beheaded to show the public." Gongsun Zan immediately ordered.

"The last general obeys!" The scout got the order and quickly retreated.

Gongsun Zan frowned and murmured, "Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao, do you think I'm not ready for your sneak attack?"

"Come on!"

Gongsun Zan called his soldiers: "Quickly ask Cao Cao for help, and ask him to send troops to support him!"

Although Gongsun Zan felt a little strange why Yuan Shao was so decisive this time, he was not afraid of Yuan Shao's sneak attack, and he didn't think he would lose to Yuan Shao.

Gongsun Zan is very clear about how much Yuan Shao has under his command.Therefore, Gongsun Zan believed that Cao Cao only needed to dispatch some soldiers and horses to resist Yuan Shao's attack.

As for Yuan Shao's surprise attack target being Youzhou, Gongsun Zan didn't think about it at all.

He felt that with Yuan Shao's courage, he would not dare to attack Youzhou, unless Yuan Shao didn't intend to die.

"Send an order to Xia Houyuan, Zhang Yan and others to protect Yecheng and at the same time make Gongsun Kang ready to retreat."

Gongsun Zan knew that after this battle, he might not be as comfortable as he is now.

Yuan Shao's surprise attack on Youzhou this time was obviously to reduce the strength of Jizhou, and even wanted to take advantage of the chaos to swallow up Youzhou's counties.This is something that Gongsun Zan cannot allow.

"promise!"

Soon, Cao Cao received a letter from Gongsun Zan. After learning about this, he did not hesitate to mobilize [-] soldiers and horses to gallop north.

On Yuan Shao's side, he also received news that Lu Bu and Yuan Tan had set off.

Yuan Shao sneered and said, "Gongsun Zan, you overestimate yourself too much. Do you think you can compete with Lu Bu with the help of the mob in Youzhou? It's ridiculous! If that's the case, then I'll just sit and watch you and Lu Bu dog-eat-dog. In the end, no one will win Get down on the other side."

……

At this time, Yuan Shu also received news from Gongsun Zan.

"Yuan Shao dared to sneak attack Youzhou, looking for death!" Yuan Shu said angrily: "Order Ji Ling and other generals to lead an army of [-] to Jizhou, we must contain Yuan Shao's strength!"

Although Yuan Shu was angry, he did not forget his mission, which was to contain Yuan Shao so that Yuan Shao would not defeat Gongsun Zan.

"Yes!"

……

On the other side, Pan Feng also got the news that Lu Bu sent troops.

"Yuan Benchu ​​really didn't have any good intentions, and actually sent Lu Fengxian to attack Youzhou."

Pan Feng cursed inwardly.

Whether it is Lu Bu or Yuan Tan, they are all very powerful generals. If they join forces to attack him, even if he has [-] cavalry, he may not be an opponent.

"It seems that Yuan Benchu ​​was worried about our division of troops." Pan Feng sneered, his [-] cavalry were very useful, but once they were divided, their strength would be reduced, which was not a good thing for Pan Feng, so Pan Feng Feng was unwilling to divide his troops.

However, taking advantage of the fire is a must.

After Pan Feng thought for a while, he gave an order to Zhao Yun who was next to him: "Zhao Yun obeys the order, and I order you to lead an army of [-] troops to send troops to Hanoi. Be sure to take Hanoi."

"The last general takes the order!" Zhao Yun cupped his fists and accepted the order. His original duty was to command the cavalry, and he was very happy to attack Hanoi.

After Zhao Yun left, Pan Feng set his sights in the direction of Yanzhou.

Now Cao Cao occupies Qingzhou, Tao Qian occupies Xuzhou, Yuan Shao occupies Jizhou, but Yanzhou is vacant and chaotic.

But now that Yanzhou happened to be vacant, Pan Feng naturally didn't want to miss this opportunity. Even if he led the army to attack Yanzhou, he tried to take advantage of the fire and loot and seize a large territory.

At this time, Lu Bu had led his troops deep into the territory of Youzhou.

"Report, General!"

A scout Pegasus came to report: "The investigation is clear. The front is Gongsun Zan's camp. The camp has plenty of food and grass, and the soldiers are well-trained. Do you want to take a detour and avoid them, General?"

"Detour? Why do you detour?" Lu Bu stared at the scout coldly, and scolded, "This general is Lu Fengxian! You are a dignified and gentle Marquis, and you are afraid that a little Gongsun Zan will fail?"

The scout quickly pleaded guilty, expressing that no offense was intended.

Lu Bu snorted coldly, ignored the scouts, and continued to move forward.

"General, our army is still some distance away from Gongsun Zan's barracks. The terrain here is flat and easy to ambush, and there are many forests around." A deputy general reminded Lu Bu, "I think it's better for the general to be more careful!"

"Hmph, it's just a bunch of jumping clowns!" Lu Bu said disdainfully.

"Huh?" The deputy general was stunned, he had never seen such an arrogant general.

"Don't say too much, follow me to the battle!" Lu Bu snorted coldly.

He is very confident in himself.

Lu Bu led the army to rush to Gongsun Zan's barracks, and a big battle was inevitable.

Gongsun Zan also received the news that Lu Bu was leading the army to leave, and his expression changed drastically in fright. This is Lu Bu, the real God of War Lu Bu, and this battle will definitely be extremely tragic.

"My lord, don't fight recklessly. Lu Bu is unparalleled in martial arts. We are not opponents at all. We should retreat immediately, otherwise we will be killed by Lu Bu!"

The counselors around Gongsun Zan advised them that they were old foxes who had followed Gongsun Zan for many years. They knew how fierce Lu Bu was, and they also understood that people like Lu Bu were definitely not easy to mess with.

"I, Gongsun Zan, am I a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death?" Gongsun Zan snorted coldly, "Lü Bu wants to destroy a certain Gongsun family, so let's see who dies."

Gongsun Zan calmed down, and after pondering for a moment, he asked the counselor beside him, "Is there a good plan?"

"Lord!"

The counselor sighed and said, "This subordinate thinks that we should retreat."

"Back?" Gongsun Zan frowned.

"That's right!" the counselor said, "Lu Bu is brave, my lord, you are no match. If you stay here, you will be killed easily. Let's avoid his edge for now."

"it is good!"

Gongsun Zan was not a fool, and he didn't want to die, so he immediately decided to retreat.

……

On the other side, Lu Bu led troops to attack Gongsun Zan's barracks.

And Gongsun Zan also retreated without hesitation.

"Hahahaha!"

Lu Bu couldn't help laughing as he looked at Gongsun Zan's back fleeing in embarrassment.

"The general is mighty."

The subordinates around said excitedly.

"Ok!"

Lu Bu also nodded in satisfaction. He now has more than 4 people under his command. Although he is not considered an elite army, he is an infantry army after all. It is much stronger than cavalry, and it is more than enough to deal with Gongsun Zan.

"Turn up the march and take Gongsun Zan as soon as possible!" Lu Bu ordered.

"Yes!"

While in Jizhou, Yuan Shao also got the news from Youzhou, and he was relieved.

As long as Lu Bu and Gongsun Zan fight, then he can easily eliminate Gongsun Zan, and even gain greater benefits.

"Come here, summon Yan Liang, Guo Tu, and Ju Shou to discuss matters."

Yuan Shao gave instructions to the guards around him.

Soon, the three came in a hurry and said respectfully: "Greetings, Mr. Zhou Mu!"

"Dear dear ministers, I have called you here today to tell you a great news. The news from Yanzhou spies just now said that Lu Bu and Gongsun Zan had clashed in Youzhou. Now the two are at war. We only need to send a You can take Youzhou if you go over to the teacher, what do you think?" Yuan Shao said with a smile.

These words made Zhang Liao and Chen Gong's eyes light up.

Guo Tu said: "Zhou Mu is wise."

"My lord Shengming!"

Jushou also bowed his hand.

Yan Liang also showed a smile. He had long been unhappy with Lu Bu and Gongsun Zan, and wished to kill these two enemies. Now that the two have conflicts, it is simply God's help.

Yan Liang said: "My lord, that humble officer immediately rectifies the army and prepares to attack Qingzhou."

Yuan Shao nodded slightly, and said, "But before attacking Qingzhou, let me kill Gongsun Zan first!"

"Here!"

Yan Liang immediately took orders and quickly assembled [-] elite soldiers.

Thirty thousand elite soldiers are not enough to deal with a Gongsun Zan's military camp, but Jizhou has been attached to Yuan Shao all these years, so most of the cities in Jizhou have been controlled, and Yan Liang can mobilize the people of Jizhou to help him.
