    After Yuan Shao left Liyang, he led 40,000 infantry and cavalry and quickly returned to defend in the direction of Yecheng, intending to block Cao's army from attacking its rear.  With nearly half of his troops, Yuan Shao has made up his mind to place what he considers to be the last battle battlefield on the north bank of the Yellow River. After this decisive battle, both the body and the soul of Cao Jun will remain in Yecheng forever.  under the city wall.

    "Report~" He tried his best to rein in the galloping horse. The spy jumped off the horse and knelt down to Yuan Shao and saluted, and then reported: "My lord, we found the camp where Cao's army was stationed ahead."[bsp; Yuan Shao's brows twitched fiercely.  , his face also turned ugly. He marched into Liyang with nearly 100,000 armored soldiers, intending to cross the Yellow River south to seek a decisive battle with the main force of Cao's army. Who knew that this bastard Cao Cao did not dare to confront him in front of the battle with real swords and guns, and instead used sneak attacks?  This kind of despicable method, and it actually forced him to lead troops back for reinforcements, for Yuan Shao, it was undoubtedly a stain on this war that he believed to be victorious.

    "Have you counted the military stoves?" Yuan Shao folded the whip in his hand and asked angrily, "How many people did Cao Cao bring?"

    "We have already counted them. Calculated based on ten men per stove, Cao's army has about five thousand men." The spy lay on the ground and still did not dare to get up.

    "Hahahahaha." Yuan Shao waved his whip and laughed. He turned around and said to the generals behind him: "Cao Cao dared to attack Yecheng with such a small number of people. Isn't it like hitting an egg with an egg against a stone? How can a mere five thousand people withstand four of us?  A thunderous strike for thousands of people? I brought so many troops back to defend this time, I really flatter him."

    "My lord, beware of deceit." Zhang He said cautiously, "Cao Cao is cunning and treacherous. My lord, you must be careful."

    Yuan Shao was originally in high spirits, but he couldn't help but feel angry when he heard Zhang He's disappointing words, and said displeasedly: "Jun Yi, although you are not as ugly as Yan Liangwen, you are still considered a famous general under my command, and you are quite prestigious in Hebei. How can you face Cao Cao?"  You are always so timid, how can you accomplish anything like this?"

    Holding the iron gun in his hand tightly, Zhang He thought angrily: We are both the four pillars of Hebei Province, how can I be inferior to these two men, Yan Liang, Wen Chou.  But seeing Yuan Shao's slumped face, Zhang He could only stop talking and silently led his horse back.  Gao Lan came up, patted Zhang He on the back and said: "Jun Yi, the troops Cao Cao can mobilize this time are only tens of thousands at best. Our 40,000 tigers and wolves can handle it enough, so you don't have to worry too much.  "

    Zhang He sighed, nodded and said, "Maybe I'm too worried."

    Zhang He felt a little uneasy in his heart, but he couldn't tell what it was.  Looking at the flowing clouds on the horizon, Zhang He secretly said in his heart: I hope I think too much.

    In the next two or three days, Yuan Shao could always find traces of Cao's army stationed on his marching route from time to time. What worried Yuan Shao was that the number of Cao's army's military stoves began to increase. According to the number of military stoves finally found in the camp,  In terms of quantity, Cao Cao's troops at this time should have been no less than 20,000.

    "Is Cao's army constantly crossing the river for reinforcements?" Yuan Shao frowned, and then realized that it was a big mistake not to bring out counselors.  After thinking for a long time, Yuan Shao finally came up with a solution that he thought was the most feasible. He immediately ordered his troops to rush back to Liyang at night and ordered the remaining troops to spread out along the north bank of the Yellow River. Whenever he saw Cao Jun crossing the river, he would attack him when he was halfway across the river.  Of.

    At this time, Cao Cao was sitting in the military camp in Guandu, looking at the military information in his hands with relish. When he received the news that Yuan Junyan had dispersed the Yellow River, Cao Cao said with a half-smile: "Yuan Shao, this idiot, has indeed fallen into the trap. I really am."  I want to see his expression when he arrived at the gates of Yecheng and found that my 'army' was missing."

    "With just a few thousand clay stoves, Yuan Shao's troops were dispersed. My lord's plan to increase the number of stoves is enough to shine in the annals of history." Guo Jiachang paid his respects.

    "I'm afraid it's Yuan Shao's stupidity that will shine through the annals of history." Cao Cao sneered, and then asked: "Fengxiao, what happened to the surprise attack on the white horse?"

    Guo Jia touched his chin and said: "Don't worry, my lord, Yuan Rang, Miaocai, and Zihe have led three thousand tiger and leopard riders to set off a day ago. They should be not far from the white horse by now."

    "Success or failure depends on this one move." Cao Cao nodded, opened the curtain of the military tent, and looked outside. It was early in the morning, and the first line of sunshine on the horizon finally pierced the endless darkness.

    ??Dongjun Baima, Yanliang Military Camp.

    Except for the soldiers on duty, most of Yuan Shao's 10,000 soldiers are still sleeping.  The cook had already started to light a fire and put dried meat into the pot. The aroma of meat porridge gradually filled the cool morning air.

    "It smells so good." A general who got up early climbed out of the military tent and greedily smelled the aroma of meat porridge.

    "General, please taste it first, be careful not to burn it." The porridge-cooking soldier scooped up a large bowl of porridge and specially added a few pieces of dried meat that had been cooked until soft.A smiling face was sent to General Pi's hands.

    General Pi blew on the meat porridge and took a sip from the bowl with a satisfied smile on his face. While stirring the porridge in the pot, the cook asked: "General, do you think we are still here to surround you?"  how long?"

    "I'm afraid it will take some time." General Pi chewed the dried meat and said vaguely, "During the battle yesterday, General Yan shot the enemy general in the shoulder. As a result, the guy was still wounded and commanding the battle. It seems that he has been injured for a long time.  He is determined to die and wants to fight with us here. In my opinion, if we kill all the enemy soldiers guarding here, we may not be able to capture the white horse."

    "What if the Cao thieves send reinforcements and attack us with the defenders, wouldn't it be very dangerous for us? With the Yellow River behind us, there is no way to retreat." The cook said worriedly.

    "Thief Cao only has a small number of troops. How dare he come out to fight with us? This time he is sure of defeating Xudu." General Bi smiled and said, "I heard that the roads in Xuduli are paved with gold and silver. We in Yecheng  Compared with it, it can only be regarded as the countryside. We King Qin has made great achievements this time, and we can definitely go to Xudu to have a look. Then we will go to the city to see the women of the nobles, and then taste the royal wine. If  Once the emperor is happy and has a reward, we can live without worries about food and drink for the rest of our lives."

    The cook also smiled and said: "Yes, yes, being able to break into Xudu is also a face-saving thing."

    While the two were chatting, General Pi's expression suddenly changed, because he faintly felt the ground begin to shake, and the rumble like wind and thunder gradually became clearer. He had lived in the north for a long time, so of course he knew what the sound was - that was.  The sound of horse hooves hitting the ground!

    Pi dropped the bowl in his hand and rushed up to the watchtower in the military camp like crazy. When he saw clearly the flags raised by the approaching cavalry, he rang the warning bell in panic.

    The loud ringing of the bell dispersed the morning mist, and the entire camp woke up in an instant.  The soldiers emerged from the tent and looked around blankly.  General Pi roared loudly from the watchtower: "The enemy is attacking! The enemy is attacking!"

    More and more soldiers poured out of the tents, but almost no one was fully dressed.  Yan Liang didn't even wear a helmet, and rushed out of the Chinese military tent with his hair disheveled. The soldiers had already brought his war horse.  Yan Liang raised his sword and mounted his horse, shouting loudly to stop the fleeing soldiers: "Form up, form up, prepare to fight!" A small number of soldiers reluctantly formed a defensive formation, but more people were still running around like headless flies.  Collision.

    Amidst the dust that covered the sky and the sun, the gate of Yuan Jun's barracks was burst open. The temporary defense line was unable to withstand such a sudden attack and was disintegrated in an instant.  The cavalry in heavy armor came in through the collapsed gate of the village. The leading general saw Yan Liang, who was restraining the defeated army. He pulled out his iron bow from behind, loaded the arrow and drew the bow. The arrows screamed straight away.  Go to Yanliang.

    When Yan Liang heard the arrow whistle, his chest had already been pierced.  Yan Liang fell heavily from his horse, and was immediately overwhelmed by the fleeing deserters. The big flag embroidered with the word "Yan" slowly fell down.

    Xia Houyuan sneered, put away his long bow, and swung his sword forward: "Kill!"
