Reborn in the Three Kingdoms

Soon after Cao Cao aggressively attacked Jizhou, Yuan Shang and Wen Chou, who led the army out of Jizhou, learned of the emergency.The two were taken aback, but they couldn't take corresponding actions, because at this moment they were already entangled by the main force of the 14 Northern Expedition Army led by Zhang Liao.

"Cao Jun invaded Jizhou, what should we do?" Yuan Shang asked anxiously.At this moment Yuan Shang is in the tent of the commander in chief of the army, the generals and counselors under his command are standing on the left and right of the tent, and General Wen Chou is standing on the left.

"Third son, Cao Cao's attack on Jizhou must have been planned for a long time. With the tens of thousands of old, weak, sick and disabled we left in Jizhou, it is impossible to defend it. At this moment, Jizhou may have been completely occupied by Cao Jun! And Luoyang is being conscripted The northern army is attacking fiercely, and the lord is at stake! Our army can only move forward with all our strength, in order to reach Sishui Pass as soon as possible to join the lord!" Cui Yan was the one who spoke, and he was a rare resourceful man under Yuan Shao's command. Jizhou assisted Yuan Shang, so Jizhou became the only stable place under Yuan Shao's rule.

Cui Yan's words are quite reasonable. When the situation is urgent, there should be a choice.However, Yuan Shang couldn't let go of Jizhou very much, because Jizhou held a very important position in Yuan Shao's heart. Yuan Shang worried that if he gave up Jizhou like this, he would not be able to please his father. [

"Isn't it inappropriate to just give up Jizhou?" Yuan Shang hesitated.

Cui Yan sighed, "Actually, now we say that these are all useful! General Zhang Liao of the North Army has already surrounded us, whether we can cope with the current situation is still a question!"

Wen Chou snorted coldly, and said displeasedly: "Mr. Ji Gui is too ambitious for others! Our army has 20 people, while Zhang Liao's is only 14. Our army is much larger than Zhang Liao's. It is easy to defeat Zhang Liao's army!"

Yuan Shang nodded deeply and said: "What General Wen Chou said is absolutely true!"

Cui Yan smiled wryly, and explained: "The combat effectiveness of the army is not only reflected in the number! Although the number of the Northern Expedition Army is far less than ours, its training, morale, fighting will and equipment are far stronger than our army! In a head-on confrontation, Our army is no match for Zhang Liao's army at all!"

Yuan Shang couldn't help being a little annoyed, he felt that Cui Yan was simply a lobbyist sent by the Northern Army.

Seeing Yuan Shang's displeased expression, Cui Yan continued: "Third Master, don't forget that our army and Zhengbei Army attacked Jiyin County abandoned by Cao Jun that day, but the 10,000+ army led by General Yan Liang actually only conscripted Tens of thousands of elite soldiers from the Northern Army were evenly matched, and were almost defeated in the end!"

Yuan Shang and Wen Chou were dumbfounded. Of course they knew about this. When they heard the news, they thought they had heard it wrong!

The big tent fell silent, and the atmosphere instantly became a little depressing.

After a while, Yuan Shang asked Cui Yan: "Mr. Ji Gui thinks what should we do now?"

Cui Yan frowned, and after thinking for a moment, he replied: "We can only find a way to get rid of Zhang Liao's troops in front of us, and then rush to Sishui Pass!"

.........

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Yuan Shangbu's resident is more than ten miles northeast of Wei County.Yuan Shangbu was besieging Weijun. The reason why Yuan Shangbu attacked Weijun was because Weijun was located at the key point connecting Jizhou and Luoyang. Materials from Jizhou were shipped to Luoyang.On the seventh day of Yuan Shang's attack on Weijun, the army led by Zhang Liao arrived. Yuan Shang did not make contact with the northern army, so he withdrew to a place where the terrain was more favorable for him.

The station of Zhang Liao's department is just under the Weijun city.The arrival of Zhang Liao's troops greatly relieved the defenders of Wei County. When Zhang Liao's troops rushed to Wei County, Wei County, which had only [-] defenders, was already at the end of its battle. In other words, if Zhang Liao's troops arrived one or two days later, It is no longer the battle flag of the Northern Army flying above the city of Weijun.

The cavalry patrols of the Zhengbei Army are closely monitoring every move of Yuan Shaojun, and the various departments of the Zhengbei Army are taking the time to rest.

Zhang Liao was carefully observing the sand table in his tent, thinking.

Deputy General Zeng Guang walked in suddenly, clasped his fists and said, "General, there is movement from Yuan Shaojun!"

Zhang Liao raised his head and asked, "What's going on?"

Zeng Guang pointed to Yuan Shaojun's position on the sand table and said: "Just now when the scouts came to report, Yuan Shaojun suddenly moved, and the brigade headed north!"

"North?" Zhang Liao couldn't help being a little surprised.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Liao asked, "Are you sure that Yuan Shao's army is heading north?"

Zeng Guang replied: "Based on the number of the opponent's torches, the scouts judged that nearly 20 Yuan Shao's army is on the move! So this should be the main force of Yuan Shao's army!"

Zhang Liao narrowed his eyes and murmured, "Torch?", with a thoughtful look on his face.Zeng Guang stared at Zhang Liao, but did not dare to speak, because he knew that Zhang Liao was thinking about something at the moment.

After a while, Zhang Liao opened his eyes suddenly, "Yuan Shaojun is probably playing tricks!"

Zeng Guang couldn't help being slightly surprised.

Zhang Liao glanced at Zeng Guang, and said: "The Yuan Shaojun that the scouts have detected is probably not the main force, but the opponent's cover-up to confuse us!"

Zeng Guang asked in puzzlement: "But, there are so many torches?" According to Zeng Guang's thinking, a torch represents a person.

Zhang Liao said with a smile: "When our army fought against Cao Jun in Yanzhou, Cao Jun did something similar, that is to use a small number of troops to light more torches to pretend to be a large army! To pretend to be 20 people in the dark night, there are 5 people People are enough!"

Zeng Guang also participated in the Battle of Yanzhou, so he also knew this situation.So after hearing Zhang Liao's analysis, he suddenly nodded.

"Zeng Guang, immediately order the light cavalry of the First Army to follow and launch an attack on this Yuan Shao army! Order the scouts to continue to closely monitor the movement of Yuan Shao's camp! In addition, order the infantry of the First Army and the Tiger Roaring Battalion to be ready to attack at any time !""yes!"

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

While marching northward, Yuan Shaojun dispatched a large number of light cavalry troops to search and sweep the area for several miles, with the aim of destroying the scouts of the northern army, or reducing the scope of activities of the scouts of the northern army.With the unremitting efforts of Yuan Shaojun's light cavalry, the scouts of the Zhengbei Army were forced to withdraw from the range of Yuan Shaojun's camp for several miles.

Yuan Shang, Wen Chou, Cui Yan and others waited anxiously in the big tent, and the torches in the big tent seemed to feel the anxiety of everyone, and kept dancing.

I don't know how long it took, an officer ran into the big tent with a happy face.

Yuan Shang walked up quickly and asked anxiously, "How is it?"

"The North Army has taken the bait!"

Yuan Shang couldn't help being overjoyed, and his excitement surged.

"How many people from the Beibei Army showed up?" Cui Yan, who was the calmest, asked.

The officer replied: "About sixty thousand cavalry!"

Cui Yan murmured: "Sixty thousand, that's the number of all the cavalry of Zhang Liao's troops!"

"Mr. Ji Gui, you can order the whole army to attack according to the original plan!" Yuan Shang said excitedly.

However, Cui Yan hesitated.A faint question appeared in Cui Yan's mind.

"Mr. Ji Gui, why are you still hesitating?" Yuan Shang asked slightly surprised.

Cui Yan took a deep breath, put aside the thoughts in his mind, and said to Yuan Shang: "Then ask the third son to give orders!"

Yuan Shang immediately ordered: "General Wen Chou, you lead [-] soldiers to attack the left wing of the Northern Army!" "Yes!" Wen Chou promised with a gong-like voice.

Yuan Shang looked at the night outside the big tent with piercing eyes, and said excitedly: "I will lead [-] soldiers to attack the right wing of the Northern Army!" Then he glanced at the generals under the tent, and said loudly: "This battle will definitely Annihilate the cavalry of Zhang Liao's troops!" "Yes!" All the generals agreed together.

Cui Yan's battle plan for Yuan Shang was to wipe out the cavalry troops of Zhang Liao's troops.Because Yuan Jun intends to get rid of the Beibei Army and go straight to Sishuiguan, and the cavalry unit of the Beibei Army will be a problem they can't get rid of. Morale, and may even take the opportunity to launch a surprise attack.Therefore, if Yuan Jun wants to achieve both

If you want to make a plan, you must first eliminate the cavalry units of the Northern Army.

A few quarters of an hour later, the main force of Yuan Shao's army, which was already ready to go, filed out of the camp under the darkness of night, and then headed northwest in two routes. The leader of one route was Wen Chou, one of the strongest generals under Yuan Shao's command, and the leader of the other route was Yuan Shang. Cui Yan was by Yuan Shang's side.

At the same time, Zhang Liao, who was in the camp of the Northern Army, seemed a little anxious, because news had been coming in not long ago that Yuan Shaojun's light cavalry was sweeping the Yuan Shaojun camp within a few miles. It is impossible to obtain accurate action information from Yuan Shao.

"General, what should we do?" Zeng Guang looked very anxious. ! ~!
