The prelude to the war finally became somewhat different from the war in the Spring and Autumn Period. There were no generals fighting alone, and there were no messengers' answers in front of the formation. Instead, the soldiers' verbal wars were swearing.

Whether it is a one-on-one challenge, a front-end conversation, or the most realistic confrontation, the purpose is to increase one's own morale and attack the enemy's confidence.

Wang Yu disagreed with this. Since he had divided the camps, both sides would think that they were just. As for who is right and who is wrong, they would have to wait until one of them fell down before they could be clear.

Position is the most difficult to change. It is useless to just talk. Relatively speaking, a one-on-one fight will have a greater impact on morale.

Yuan Jun's slander was mainly based on "being strong and bullying the weak", "being brave and ruthless"; Gongsun Jun had a proclamation as a support, and had more rules and clear routines, from Yuan Shao's actions in Luoyang to his formation of a coalition army, killing his uncle's family, and then to his kindness and revenge and plotting against Han Fu.

The number of people on both sides is similar. After the scolding is more organized, the more dominant side will naturally have a better position, but Yuan Jun is just a little underdog. This is a scolding, not a debate competition. Although Gongsun Jun’s slander is organized, the logic is relatively complicated and it is not so easy to shout. In the end, it is a fair situation.

The quietest place at this moment is actually under the commanding flag of both sides. Neither the two main generals nor the core aides of both sides participated in the verbal war. They just sat on the war horse and listened calmly to each other's innovation in speech.

"Lord, the time is almost over, prepare to attack." Amid the roars of tens of thousands of people, Yan Gang had to yell with his neck so that Gongsun Zan could hear his voice.

"Yes." Gongsun Zan nodded, his voice muffled.

The letter of destruction to defeat the enemy was a very proud move in this battle. He wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of scolding to give Yuan Jun a warning, but it was just a situation of equality. This result made him a little disappointed and even his emotions were a little depressed.

He turned to look at the Dan Jing, trying to get some inspiration from the other party, who was the think tank in Gongsun's army, and the idea of ​​circulating edicts was exactly what he thought of.

Unfortunately, facing Gongsun Zan's gaze, Shan Jing chose to avoid it, and he complained in his heart: The lord's temper is really... He responded with great hope if he catches a good trick. He didn't think about it. If the war of swearing can determine the outcome, what else would the general do?

"Forget it, it's still impossible to make a coincidence in fighting. I'll give it to me..." Gongsun Zan sighed.

Although he rejected Wang Yu's proposal for various reasons, he was still very concerned about Wang Yu's judgment. He always thought of finding more chips before the final battle to avoid... However, it seems that he is not good at this after all, so he should know the difference from the sword. He slowly raised his hand, and the sharp blade of the long spear is as frost as snow.

At this moment, his ears suddenly moved, and amid the chaotic scolding, thousands of people were shouting in unison, speaking in unison.

"The Yuan thief planned to usurp the rebellion and was ordered to punish the unjust officials!"

The shouts came from the left wing. Although there were not many people joining the unanimous shouts, only one or two thousand people, the neat shouts suppressed the noise of tens of thousands of people, and even in the noisiest Central Army, it was clearly heard.

"The Yuan thief planned to usurp the rebellion and was ordered to punish the unjust officials!" The slander was not very literary, but the advantage was that it was easy to talk, and the rhythm was clear.

"The Yuan thief planned to usurp the rebellion and was ordered to punish the unjust officials!" The clear rhythm attracted more and more people to join. The shouts were centered on the left-wing cavalry array, spreading out like waves. There was no trick or change. It was such a simple sentence, but it was better than a thousand words.

Gradually, the entire Youzhou army joined in shouting, and tens of thousands of people shouted together. The momentum was so majestic, just like a raging wave slamming the shore, sweeping the merits and demerits of the years!

Amid the raging waves, Yuan Jun's shouts quickly softened.

Yuan Shao and Han Fu wanted to help Liu Yu become emperor, but were rejected by the latter. This matter was originally very confidential, but after being knocked out by Gongsun Zan, in order to show his innocence, Liu Yu summoned the famous scholars and powerful people in Youzhou and rejected Yuan and Han's envoys in front of them. As a result, this matter spread in Hebei.

This incident was also mentioned in Gongsun Zan's manifesto, but the impact was not great.

Ordinary people and soldiers couldn't understand it. Even if they understood it, they would only think that General Yuan was so powerful and even dared to interfere with the establishment of an emperor. Envoy Liu was so upright and great that someone actually recommended him as the emperor, and he refused.

If anyone dares to question Yuan Shao in person, he will not have a good ending. He will definitely be refuted by the advisers and scholars around him. Those famous scholars are not decorations, but what they are best at is guiding public opinion.

The main reason why Gongsun Zan's manifesto was that Yuan Shao had not yet established a firm foothold in Jizhou and had not yet established his foundation. If he waited two or three years later, his manifesto would have to take advantage of the verbal advantage at most.

However, quarrels on the battlefield are just a big deal.

The two armies had flags and clouds in the formation, but the main general's flag was both "Han". No matter what thoughts were in mind or what was actually doing, even if the two armies were already in parallel and the fight was about to be fought, nominally, both armies were still Han.

Amid the shouts of raging waves, Yuan Shao stared at the military formation opposite. On the left wing of the Yanxing formation, big flags on both sides fluttered in the wind, perfectly interpreting the origin of the scolding.

‘The King of Cavalry’

‘The Champion of the Han Dynasty’

"Bastard, bastard!" Yuan Shao's face turned pale with anger, but he had no choice but to let him control the thousands of troops and many mouthpieces, but at this moment, he could only be scolded.

Want to refute it? That's not easy. He has to think about the words, which are simple and easy to understand, and he has to see blood for a while, otherwise he will not be able to compete with the opponent. Even if he thinks about it, it may not be useful. The other party's statement of conquering the unjust officials is of reason!

That is the power granted by the emperor! No matter how powerful or the strong the princes, they cannot compete with the Taishan Army in terms of great significance. Unless...

Seeing that Yuan Shao's expression was abnormal, Ju Su hurriedly advised: "Don't worry, lord, let him gain the advantage for a while. The soldiers under the command of General Kuo and Zhang are all their own subordinates. As long as the lord is not shaken, these scoldings are just a breeze, and there is no need to worry about it."

He was afraid that Yuan Shao would be angry and make an impulsive decision. This lord always advises him, but he became stubborn. For the sake of face or something, even if he knew it was wrong in his heart, he would be stubborn to the end without a proper step.

"Yeah." Under the nervous gaze of Ju Su and a group of strategists, Yuan Shao finally suppressed his anger and breathed a long sigh: "I will not provoke the army because of anger. The little thief is shameless. I will not observe it for a moment and take advantage of it. The responsibility for commanding this battle will be fully handed over to the Duke."

Ju Su was overjoyed, bowed as a courtesy, and thanked him sincerely: "The lord is wise, and the lord will never let down his trust..."

He did not seek this false reputation or merit, but whether it was war or administration, what he feared most was that he could not leave the orders or even change the orders every day. Such command would only make the soldiers at a loss.

He has always been responsible for planning and dispatching this battle, but he has to transfer the orders to Yuan Shao.

It doesn't matter before the war. Yuan Shao had doubts and could persuade him slowly, but when he really arrived on the battlefield, the situation changed rapidly, and a short delay would probably become the key to changing the situation. How could this kind of command not worry him?

"Don't doubt people, but don't doubt people. The lord has the style of an ancient sage. I respect this kind of demeanor."

Before Ju Shu could express his determination, he was squeezed aside. Guo Tu and others rushed forward, using flattery, and could not even suppress the thunderous shouts of the Youzhou army.

Ju Su sighed inwardly, took the flag, his face turned apart, and he kept shouting: "Beat the drum!"

"Dong! dong... dongdongdongdongdongdong!"

First one or two sides, then more war drums joined in. The next moment, hundreds of big drums were beaten at the same time, like a storm, thunder and lightning, waves surged, and waves burst. Although they could not suppress the shouts of the Youzhou army, they stabilized the formation of their own soldiers, and their already low morale increased again.

"Haha, Yuan Zhei is guilty!"

Hearing the drums on the opposite side, Gongsun Zan laughed loudly, laughing, and still praised: "I am worthy of being a virtuous brother of Pengju. This trick is sharp, and our army is very energetic, and the enemy is frustrated. It is a good opportunity to break the enemy! Men, beat our drums too!"

"Dong!Dong!Dong!" Compared with the sound of the war drums that Yuan Jun intended to eliminate the influence of the curse, the war drums of the Youzhou Jun were less urgent and anxious, and seemed calm and generous, and steadily gained the upper hand in momentum.

"Where is Wei Hong?" Gongsun Zan stopped shouting.

"The last one will be here!" Yan Gang took off the list with a high spirit.

Gongsun Zan raised his horse whip and pointed at the enemy's formation from a distance, and ordered: "Yuan Jun beat the drum so loudly, but his feet didn't move at all. Maybe there was any trick. You can take a team of light cavalry to test it, so don't go deeper."

"No!" Yan Gang responded with a sigh, but did not turn around immediately.

"What's the matter?" Gongsun Zan frowned slightly. He always advocated the orders and orders from the army were like mountains. Shouldn't he make this mistake?

"Lord, General Wang's plan has been successful. Now our army is full of momentum. Why not take advantage of the situation and the whole army will be suppressed?" Yan Gang replied hesitantly.

The style of the Youzhou Army is to attack, attack, and then attack. In the good situation, the lord took the test first, which violated his usual style. This perception made him feel very unhappy.

He admitted that General Wang was a capable person, with outstanding achievements and amazing means, and even a trivial matter like a scolding formation. But the Youzhou Army is the Youzhou Army and cannot tolerate outsiders' intervention. If the lord loses his normal mind because of the other party's influence, it will be worse.

As a general who has been at the forefront since its establishment, he did not want to see changes in his lord, nor did he want the Youzhou army to become a sharp knife in the hands of others. Even if the troubled times come and the Han Dynasty is no longer authoritative, the Youzhou army can conquer the world for itself, rather than marrying others!

Gongsun Zan explained patiently: "The commander of the enemy army is Ju Gongyu. This person is resourceful and highly regarded in Hebei. He is probably a little capable and should not be underestimated. You lead the main force to suppress the enemy with cavalry and shooting. If there is any flaw, you will attack in one fell swoop. I will only urge the army to make you strong!"

"I will understand!" After receiving the desired reply, Yan Gang left happily. Before leaving, he looked at the left wing proudly, as if he was demonstrating to two big crows there.

When he met with his subordinates, the Youzhou Central Army suddenly split, and a bright silver-white ball separated from the army, accompanied by the rumbling sound of horse hooves, from slow to fast, rolling up the beacon smoke, and moving forward.
