Three Kingdoms: I, the eldest son of Cao, a loving father of a great man!

Chapter 443 Join forces and prepare for the decisive battle
Gongsun Zan's only ally was Yuan Shao, and the Wei Commandery where Yuan Shao was currently located was located south and east of Yanmen.

So Xun Yu thought for a moment and guessed where Gongsun Zan was going.

Liu Yu stayed in Cao Jun's camp for a while, then got up and left.

Before leaving, Xun Yu did not forget to comfort him: "For what Governor Liu has done this time, when Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao are defeated, the court will definitely reward him."

"Thank you, Brother Wenruo, and thank you, Major General, for giving me this opportunity to make meritorious deeds."

Liu Yu thanked him and left Cao Ying.

After Liu Yu left, Xiahou Dun quickly broke out of camp and marched towards Wei County.

……

half a month later.

At this time, Cao Ang's tribe was outside Weijun City.

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

Originally, he planned to put all these two groups of people into Weijun City to consume the food and grass in the city.

But unexpectedly, only Gongsun Zan's less than [-] troops entered the Weijun city.

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 quite interesting. He also knows that he is stationed in Yangping, and he and his father are the horns of each other."

"It's just a pity that you don't have food and grass. How long can this power be maintained?"

Having said this, Cao Ang shook his head.

One after another, Yu Jin and Xiahou Dun came with their troops.

Cao Ang asked Xiahou Dun to lead his troops and station them thirty miles west of Wei County to cut off the road to the west of Wei County.

Yu Jin was sent to station thirty miles east of Wei County, between Wei County and Yangping City, to cut off the connection between Yuan Shao and Yuan Tan.

Logically speaking, stationing in the middle of the two cities is a relatively dangerous thing. If you are not careful, there is a risk of being attacked by the two armies.

It's just that the current Weijun city is blocked on all sides. The back road to the north is cut off by Han Fu, and to the south Cao Ang personally leads the troops, calling for battle every day.

If there was any slight disturbance in Weijun City, Cao Ang would be able to respond quickly.

At this time, in Weijun City, Yuan Shao was looking at Gongsun Zan with a bitter look on his face.

Gongsun Zan's expression was not very good at this time: "Brother Benchu, are you saying that you don't have much food and grass here?"

Hearing this, Yuan Shao nodded with a look of embarrassment on his face: "Han Fu took advantage of me to go on an expedition and instigated the rebellion of those wealthy families. Now, they are unwilling to provide me with food and grass, and there is nothing I can do about it."

When Gongsun Zan heard this, he thought that he had been doing well as a guerrilla, but Liu Yu stabbed him in the back and defeated him.

"Liu Yu and Han Fu attacked the two of us together. Could it be that they got some news?" Gongsun Zan said with an ugly expression.

Yuan Shao on the side also frowned and said nothing.

After Jushou listened to Gongsun Zan's words, he stood up and bowed his hands to the two of them.

"My lord, it must be Cao Ang who didn't want to have a stalemate with us, so he contacted Han Fu and Liu Yu and came up with a plan to draw out the firepower. 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 decisively?"

Gongsun Zan on the side also looked ugly. The white horse Yi Cong he led would not play much role in a duel with an army of hundreds of thousands.Jushou looked at the two dejected people and asked loudly: "My lord, do you want to surrender without a fight? Can you bear to see such a big family business like yours destroyed by the Cao Group?" Once?"

"My lord, it is true that Cao's army is at its peak now, but if a fight really breaks out, our army will certainly not be inferior if it has the momentum to fight back!"

After Yuan Shao listened to Ju Shou's words, his eyes gradually brightened again.

As for Gongsun Zan on the side, he naturally did not want to surrender just like that.

After all, for him, surrendering would most likely mean death.

And he also felt that relying on the white horse Yi Cong under his command might not be able to achieve some miraculous results.

Charging into battle doesn't work, so what if after the fight, he leads Baima Yicong to sneak attack Cao Ang?

Thinking of this, Gongsun Zan spoke to Yuan Shao: "Brother Benchu, let's fight to the death with that Cao Ang!"

Yuan Shao had closed his eyes at this time and frowned. After a while, he opened his eyes and said slowly: "Fight, we must fight!"

When Jushuo saw that Yuan Shao had strengthened his belief in fighting, he was also happy. As long as his lord agreed to fight, he would have a way to mobilize morale.

In a battle with the Cao family, it is still unclear who will win!
"Lord, we still have to find a way to contact the eldest son. He is currently stationed in Yangping, and he doesn't have much food and grass. Let's contact the eldest son and ask him to act as a support to attack Cao Jun's flank during the decisive battle. In this way , our army’s chances of winning will increase!”

Jushou once again made plans to contact Yuan Tan.

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

But even so, give it a try.

The messengers left Wei Jun one by one and headed towards Yangping.

However, none of these messengers could break through the forbidden blockade, and they were all captured 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 Jin.

Reading the letter written by Yuan Shao to Yuan Tan, Cao Ang couldn't help but laugh: "He Yuan Benchu ​​wants a decisive battle, why don't I not? Now that the two counties are facing each other, the amount of food and grass consumed is also an astronomical figure."

"Such a quick victory is exactly what I want!"

Cao Ang gave an order and asked Yu Jinsong to let go so that Yuan Shao and Yuan Tan could get in touch.

Soon, Yuan Shao's letter of challenge was also delivered to Cao Ang.

It was agreed that the decisive battle would take place in the south of Wei County three days later.

Cao Ang didn't get what he asked for, so he directly mobilized Cao Chun's Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, preparing to charge into the battle.

As for Zhang He and the Euphorbia soldiers led by Yuan Tan, Cao Ang directly asked Yu Jin to lead the troops to stop them.

He didn't want the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to face off against the Euphorbia Troopers.

Although the tiger and leopard cavalry are well-equipped, they will suffer a lot from the cavalry's nemesis, the Euphorbia, which Cao Ang does not want to see.

On Yuan Shao's side, he set the time for the decisive battle in three days. Naturally, he wanted to use these three days to boost morale.

After all, this was a last-ditch battle, and he had no way out.

Yuan Shao brainwashed his soldiers and successfully boosted their morale.

Three days passed in a flash, and the war was about to break out.
