Yuan Shuti led an army of 150,000 and reputedly 200,000 troops from Luyang and entered Yingchuan County.
But when Yuan Shu's vanguard troops led by Liu Xiang were about to arrive in Yangdi,
He suddenly discovered that the scouts he sent out began to suffer a large number of losses at some point.
Liu Xiang is the commander-in-chief of this vanguard force, which has about 30,000 people.
He was ordered by Yuan Shu to capture Yangzhai first.
Then go straight from Yangzhai to Chenliu County.
But the abnormal situation that occurred now told him, "Cao Jun in Chenliu County reacted so quickly!"
Liu Xiang learned from the wounded scouts who managed to escape that they had encountered a vanguard of Cao's army of approximately 5,000 men.
The group of Cao soldiers were so crazy that when they saw these scouts, they rushed up with howls and screams...
However, Liu Xiang tried several times to lure and annihilate this annoying army.
But the opponent is as slippery as an eel and cannot be caught no matter what.
When large groups of troops are dispatched, the opponent is slippery.
However, some small groups of troops dispersed to search for Cao's army, but they could not defeat Cao's well-equipped and well-trained troops.
Liu Xiang, who had been walked around for a long time, finally discovered the other party's sinister intentions. He thought to himself: "These guys are distracting us and consuming our lone scouts and small troops. They are really disgusting!"
In the end, Liu Xiang simply ignored the small group of Cao's troops. After arriving at Yangdi, he directly stationed in Yangdi City, and then waited for Yuan Shu's large army and the next order.
at the same time,
Cao Ren led an army of 30,000 troops and stationed in Xu County, Yingchuan County.
The ten thousand troops led by Lu Yan and Guo Jia were stationed about twenty miles away from Xu County.
The two sides are each other's horns, and together they form an iron and copper wall that prevents Yuan Shu from entering Chenliu County.
Yuan Shu learned from spies that Chen Liu and Cao's army took the initiative and stationed themselves in and outside Xu County.
But after hearing that the opponent had less than 50,000 troops, and that the opponent's coach Lu Yan was a name he had never heard of before,
Yuan Shu immediately put aside his worries about Cao Jun.
"Even if Cao Ah Man came in person, I, Yuan Shu, would not be embarrassed by him, let alone an unknown person coming?"
To look down upon is to act too hastily.
Yuan Shu immediately ordered,
He ordered his general Zhang Xun to lead an army of 50,000 to attack Xu County.
At the same time, Liu Xiang was ordered to attack the camp where Lu Yan was located, with the intention of defeating him in one battle.
But what Yuan Shu didn't know was that none of the messengers he sent to Yangdi were able to enter the city. They were all intercepted and killed by a small team sent by Cao Hong at the outskirts.
Moreover, not long after Liu Xiang entered Yangdi,
Cao Hong, the pioneer, then passed on all the news he had discovered from the front to Lu Yan and Cao Ren, as well as the information about Yuan Shu's follow-up army obtained from the messenger.
In the military tent of the camp,
Lu Yan said to Guo Jia: "Yuan Shu without Sun Jian is like a tiger with its teeth pulled out. We don't need to coax them at all."
Guo Jia nodded and replied: "That's right, and the vanguard of Yangzhai has been stabbed to death by Zi Lian and Mancheng and has become a 'blind man'. Now he only dares to hide in Yangzhai City. He is a guy who will be dealt with sooner or later."
After Guo Jia finished speaking, he lowered his head to read the news sent back by Cao Hong, and then said to Lu Yan with a smile but not a smile: "But Changsheng, after Yuan Shu pioneered, another army seems to have arrived, and the target is still Xu County."
Lu Yan looked at Guo Jia's lewd smile,
He knew that this guy must be holding a lot of bad things in his stomach right now, so he asked: "Does Fengxiao have a plan?"
Guo Jia chuckled and said: "Yuan Shu ordered his two teams to attack Xu County and our camp at the same time. This is to complete his victory in one battle.
In this case, why don't we simply abandon Xu County and Daying?
The whole army rushed to Yangzhai as quickly as possible and created a situation to besiege Yangzhai.
A certain material is determined,
The army that captured Xu County will definitely return to the rescue with all its strength after learning that Yangdi is besieged by us.
After that, we can set up an ambush on the path that army must pass through..."
When Lu Yan heard this, he couldn't help but clapped his hands and laughed and said: "What a great encirclement to call for reinforcements. Fengxiao really knows the essence of the art of war!"
"Surrounding the area to call for help?" Guo Jia's eyes suddenly lit up and he said, "This word describes it very aptly. Changsheng is indeed very clever!"
After the two of them finished talking about the business, they started to hold each other's smelly feet.
This scene actually made Yu Jin, who was standing aside and rushed to the meeting, look very embarrassed.
Lu Yan and Guo Jia made a strategy to encircle the point and provide reinforcements based on the existing intelligence.
Therefore, when Yuan Shu sent troops to attack Xu County, Cao Ren, who was stationed in Xu County, and Lu Yan's army, which was camped outside Xu County, suddenly started to attack Yangzhai at the same time!
...
Xu County,
Zhang Xun looked at the empty Xu County and suddenly felt an unpleasant feeling in his heart.
"Is there an ambush? No, the scouts have already explored the surrounding area for ten miles, and there is no sign of Cao Jun at all."
Then why did they abandon Xu County?
Just when Zhang Xun was puzzled, a scout suddenly came to report on a fast horse.
"Report! General,
Cao Jun's 50,000-strong army besieged Yangdi.
General Liu is in danger, please ask the general for immediate support!"
After Sun Jian's death, Zhang Xun can now be said to be Yuan Shu's top general, but although his ability is not bad, it is not very good.
After hearing that Cao's army had abandoned his own camp and instead attacked Yangdi, Zhang Xun was furious and worried, and immediately ordered his troops and horses to rush towards Yangdi for reinforcements.
What Zhang Xun didn't expect was that,
Lu Yan's siege of Yangzhai was a lie, but a half-way ambush and encirclement of reinforcements were real!
While passing by a forest thirty miles outside Zhai City,
Zhang Xun's team has just passed halfway,
The woods on both sides suddenly remembered the loud shouts of killing:
"Kill! Whoever kills Yuan Jun's general will be rewarded with a hundred taels of gold and promoted to two ranks!" This was Cao Ren's voice.
As Cao Ren's order was issued, he led the army behind him and rushed to Yuan Jun's left side.
Yu Jin and Dian Wei, who were ambushing on the other side, after hearing Cao Ren's signal, led the troops behind them and rushed to the other side of Zhang Xun's army.
For a moment, shouts of death seemed to come from all directions!
"Kill!"
"Kill Yuan Thief!"
"Ouch!"
...
Yu Jin led the army and followed Dian Wei, but now he looked at Dian Wei with a hint of fear in his eyes...
Dian Wei looked like a meat grinder, chopping up Yuan Jun soldiers as easily as he was chopping melons and vegetables.
Yu Jin felt horrified in his heart: "My dear mother, is this Dianwei so terrifying?"
Thinking of his kind gesture when he greeted Dian Wei at the gate of Chenliu City, Yu Jin subconsciously patted his chest and rejoiced: "Fortunately, I showed a friendly side at that time, otherwise he would probably have killed me on the spot!"
It is during this period of time when distractions are forbidden,
Dian Wei, who was not far ahead, suddenly held a large iron halberd in one hand, jumped out of a parabola and slammed into the place where Yuan's army was densely packed!
Yuan Jun's soldiers haven't reacted yet.
Dian Wei in the crowd suddenly saw a big windmill coming to his place.
Immediately, the broken limbs of Yuan Jun soldiers began to fall everywhere like rain!
Yu Jin was even more horrified, "I don't know where Lu Zhonglang knew about Dian Wei's abilities, but he is really a fierce one!"
Because of Dian Wei's bravery and terrifying killing methods, Yu Jin quickly opened up the situation and defeated (scared?) Yuan's army who resisted them.
Open the way from Dian Wei,
Yu Jin led the army,
They destroyed everything along the way and actually killed Zhang Xun's army and cut it in half!
