(I wish you all a happy Youth Day and ask for another monthly ticket. The monthly ticket list is in danger, please.)

A few days later, Cao's army camp.

In the central army's tent, Cao Cao sat on it, holding Yuan Fang's handwritten letter in his hand, looking through it calmly.

In front of the tent, Sun Gan stood with his hands down, his expression calm and composed.

After reading the letter, Cao Cao slapped the table and shouted, "What a good Yuan Fang. He betrayed Ben Shao. He is a ruthless person. He dares to send someone to persuade me to withdraw his troops. Come on, drag this Sun Gan out to behead me, and give his head to Yuan Benchu."

Cao Cao turned against him and wanted to kill Sun Gan on the spot.

The soldiers of the Cao army and the Tiger Guards rushed forward and dragged Sun Gan away on the spot.

Sun Gan was shocked and was really shocked. Unexpectedly, Cao Cao would kill him, the envoy.

Although he was afraid in his heart, Sun Gan held up his courage. Instead of begging for mercy, he laughed out loud.

When Sun Gan smiled like this, Cao Cao was more determined to kill himself and asked curiously: "You are dead, what else is there to be funny?"

"I'm laughing at my lord. I don't know how to know anyone. I didn't realize that Cao Mengde he admired was actually a temptation to be a tyrant. My Sun Gan is really worth it." Sun Gan said mockingly.

His words were obviously self-deprecating, but in fact they satirized Cao Cao, and he was inclined to the power of the country, and surrendered to Yuan Shao's power.

Next to Cao Cao, Dian Wei, who was as strong as a cow, glared at the eyes of the tiger, and was furious. He wanted to rush up on the spot and tear Sun Gan into pieces with bare hands.

However, Sun Gan was fearless and looked proud and willing to die.

At this time, Cao Cao, who was originally angry, suddenly laughed and burst into laughter.

Dian Wei and others, seeing that Cao Cao was not angry, laughed, were all confused and unaware of their intentions.

The laughter was calm, Cao Cao waved his hand and turned his hand to retreat the soldiers, stroking his short beard and praised: "If you can choose a brave person like you as an envoy, how can you say that Yuan Xianzheng is ignorant of anyone? Mr. Sun doesn't need to be excited, I'm just a little joke."

Sun Gan breathed a sigh of relief, glad that he had guessed correctly. Cao Cao actually had no intention of killing him, but was just threatening to test him.

Sun Gan put away his passionate and smiled faintly: "Mr. Cao is so elegant. I know that Yuan Shao wants to take the opportunity to weaken your strength, but he is still in the mood to joke."

Cao Cao sneered: "Don't provoke me for now. What Yuan Benchu ​​is thinking? How could I, Cao Cao, not notice it? When you go back and tell your lord, just say that I, Cao Cao, are just pretending and will never launch an attack on Gao Tang. You can let him feel at ease and dare to fight his father to death."

"Don't retreat, Cao Gong. I, the Gaotang defender, cannot be transferred. How can my lord fight with Yuan Shao with all his might?" Sun Gan asked back.

Of course, Yuan Fang knew that Cao Cao would not take any serious action, but what Yuan Fang wanted was Cao Cao's withdrawal, so that he could draw out Guo Huai's five thousand troops and go to the plains to fight against Yuan Shao.

Cao Cao made a helpless statement and sighed: "Yuan Benchu ​​is my close friend and the leader of the alliance. I have to act like this, and it is impossible to withdraw troops."

Cao Cao's answer was very determined, but Sun Gan was not angry, as if he had expected it.

After listening to Cao Cao's words, Sun Gan said lightly: "My lord said, if you retreat your troops just now, our two families will not violate the rivers. If Cao Gong insists on surrendering to Yuan Shao, even if he is forced to withdraw his troops in the future, this Liangzi will be settled. Don't regret it."

Hearing this, Cao Cao sneered: "I, Cao Cao, never knows what regret means, so what if this Liangzi has formed, go back and tell Yuan Xianzheng that he should think about how to resist Yuan Benchu's 50,000 army. Maybe when I retreat, it will be the day when your Qingzhou is destroyed."

Cao Cao's tone obviously had greater confidence in this war between the father and son of the Yuan family and Yuan Shao.

Sun Gan didn't say much, and Yuan Fang had already brought the words and bowed and left.

As soon as the person left, someone turned out behind the screen, which was Xun Yu.

"Wenruo, have you heard that Yuan Fang's tone is so crazy that he plans to deal with Yuan Shao and then deal with me." Cao Cao stroked his short beard, with a sarcastic tone.

Xun Yu said lightly: "This Yuan Fang can defeat Gongsun Zan and Tao Qian with his own strength and conquered Qingzhou. It is indeed extraordinary. However, as the lord said, he is indeed a bit crazy. Although Yuan Benchu ​​is interested in planning but never makes any decisions, his strength is there. This time, Yuan Fang is afraid that it will be difficult for him to make the world come true."

Cao Cao nodded and sneered: "This kid is really crazy. He can't even protect himself. He has the courage to threaten me. He said that I was forced to withdraw my troops, but I just put my troops here. Let's see if you can make me forced to withdraw my troops."

Cao Cao then made a decision and stationed his troops in Chi County. He looked at Gao Tang and remained silent.

...

Sun Gan left Cao's camp and rushed back to the plain without stopping, and brought Cao Cao back to the response.

Plain, military palace.

Upon hearing the news, all the generals were indignant and were very angry that Cao Cao surrendered to Yuan Shao's power, which led to his seven thousand soldiers and horses being unable to fight Yuan Shao with all his strength.

"Cao Cao is also a hero. He will break up with Yuan Shao sooner or later, but he is also very smart. It is expected that he will be able to submit to Yuan Shao at the moment."

Yuan Fang was very calm and was mentally prepared for Cao Cao's reply.

The reason why he sent Sun Gan as an envoy was that he still had a glimmer of hope and wanted to try to persuade Cao Cao to retreat. After all, for Cao Cao, a very potential owl, the best strategy is of course to avoid making enemies and join forces.

Unfortunately, Cao Cao chose Yuan Shao and formed a bond with him Yuan Fang without hesitation.

"If Cao Cao doesn't retreat, Gao Tang's five thousand soldiers will not be able to be pulled out. This is really a headache." Guo Jia sucked the wine and said thoughtfully.

Yuan Fang smiled and said confidently: "Don't worry, I won't expect that Cao Cao will retreat by himself."

All the civil and military officials were surprised by Yuan Fang's words.

Even the ghost plot Guo Jia was choked and looked at Yuan Fang in surprise with a look of suspicion.

Cao Cao had already sat firmly in Yanzhou and looked around. Yuan Shu's invasion in the south had just been beaten away by him. Tao Qian was still licking his wounds in the east, and there was basically no threat from foreign enemies.

In this case, how could Cao Cao withdraw his troops for no reason unless Yuan Fang defeated Yuan Shao.

"If we defeat Yuan Shao, Cao Cao will certainly retreat by himself." Guo Jia said while wiping the wine stain. He thought Yuan Fang was like this.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Fang smiled mysteriously: "There is no need to wait that long. I believe that Cao Cao will retreat before we defeat Yuan Shao."

Even Guo Jia was confused when Yuan Fang said this. He couldn't guess where Yuan Fang got his confidence. He expected that Cao Cao would retreat on his own when Yuan Shao was undefeated.

Everyone in the hall was suspicious and could not understand Yuan Fang's mystery.

Yuan Fang did not point it out, but only ordered the generals to prepare for war and prepare for Yuan Shao's army to conquer.

...

As Yuan Fang expected, Cao Cao came with great momentum under the banner of attack, but the thunder was loud and the rain was small, and he did not launch a substantial attack for ten days.

Cao Cao had been holding his troops, and Yuan Shao, who was stationed in Guantao, could no longer sit still.

Ten days later, Yuan Shao finally couldn't help but no longer looked at Cao Cao. The 50,000 army set out and rushed towards Pingyuan City.

Although Yuan Shao was powerful, he did not want to delay this war against the rebellious son for too long.

Because based on the information sent back from the north, Gongsun Zan, who fled to Youzhou before, had already regained his strength and defeated Liu Yu, who had no soldiers, who had not known the army. Not only did he recover the lost territory, he also captured the Jicheng, the capital of Youzhou Prefecture, and drove Liu Yu all the way to Dai County.

Gongsun Zan stabbed his boss in the back, but he was not merciless at all. He pursued him relentlessly, wishing to put Liu Yu to death.

The power of Gongsun Zan to annex Youzhou was no longer stopped.

Once Gongsun Zan takes over Youzhou, his next goal will be to turn around and go south to herd his horse, and the situation in Hebei will fall into chaos again.

What Yuan Fang is most afraid of is chaos. The more chaotic the situation, the better, so that he can win in chaos.

Yuan Shao didn't want to see Gongsun Zan disturb the situation, so he couldn't wait for Cao Cao to send troops, so he was anxious to destroy Yuan Fang so that he could make a move and have a decisive battle with Gongsun Zan.

In Yuan Shao's eyes, Gongsun Zan is the real enemy.

On that day, a document from Xu Sheng's emergency came from Zheng County and was sent to Yuan's plan.

Xu Sheng said in an emergency report that Yuan Shao took Yuan Shang as his vanguard and led a large army of 10,000 infantry and cavalry toward Zheng County, with a fierce momentum.

To the west of the plain there is a long and narrow mud ditch from north to south. It was originally a Yellow River channel. After the Yellow River was diverted, a mud ditch hundreds of miles was left, which is called Gudu.

Therefore, the water level of Dudu is not very large, but it is quite muddy because of the accumulation of a large amount of mud and sand. Only between the plain and the county, there is a relatively flat area that is more than twenty miles wide, which can be used for east-west traffic.

If Yuan Shao's army wanted to seize the plain, it would pass through these more than 20 miles of land to facilitate entry and logistics transportation.

Yuan conveniently used this terrain to build camps and reinforce fortifications in this twenty-mile-wide area, in order to take advantage of the narrow terrain and weaken Yuan Shao's advantage of many soldiers as much as possible.

Zheng County is located west of Gudu, at the west end of the twenty-mile passage. If Yuan Shao wanted to break the barriers of Yuan Fang, he naturally had to seize the outpost of Zheng County first.

Facing the fierce enemy, Yuan Fang sneered: "I slaughtered one arm by Yuan Tan, who is already half a useless person. Yuan Shang wanted to take the opportunity to make contributions and overwhelm his elder brother. Humph, he really knows how to choose the opportunity."

"Xu Sheng has only 700 troops and horses. It is difficult to defend the county. It is better to order a retreat as soon as possible and let Xu Sheng retreat to the camp east of the old divine before being surrounded." Hao Zhao said in a statement.

"Yuan Shang predicted that we would not dare to defend Zheng County, so he dared to come in a fierce battle. The more he did this, the more he should give him a head-on attack and further slash Yuan Shao's army's aura." Guo Jia was so murderous that he tried his best to fight.

Yuan Fang's eyebrows were condensed, and his murderous intent shot in his eyes, and his boiling blood ignited Guo Jia's words.

None of the three brothers of the Yuan family have bullied him for many years. Even though Yuan Shang had helped him before, he wanted to use him to balance Yuan Tan. Now that he saw that Yuan Fang was in a big situation and threatened him, he immediately joined Yuan Tan and wanted to kill Yuan Fang.

How could Yuan Fang not avenge this hatred?
