    Two days later, Xizuo sent back information that the Xuzhou Army was indeed dispatched.

    Tao Qian, in the name of Zhou Mu, ordered Zang Ba, who was stationed in Kaiyang, to lead his 15,000 troops and go north to Qingzhou to rescue Kong Rong.

    In addition to Zang Ba's troops, Tao Qian also gave Liu Bei five thousand troops and horses, and ordered him to assist Zang Ba in the fight against Yuan Fang.

    Twenty thousand troops set off from Langye Kingdom in the northernmost part of Xuzhou and rushed towards Beihai Kingdom in a mighty manner.

    The information Mi Huan brought was indeed correct.

    After detailed information was sent back, Yuan Fang immediately summoned Generals Yan Liang and Zhu Ling to discuss countermeasures.

    "Tao Qian actually dispatched 20,000 troops?" Zhu Ling gasped when he saw the numbers on the intelligence.

    In order to avoid death, it was expected that Tao Qian would send troops to rescue Kong Rong, but Zhu Ling did not expect that Tao Qian would be so generous and send out 20,000 troops.

    It should be known that Yuan Fang's current military strength in Beihai Kingdom is only 9,000. In addition to leaving thousands of soldiers and horses to surround Duchang, the number that can be used to stop the Xuzhou Army is no more than 5,000.

    Five thousand soldiers who have been fighting for a long time are fighting against 20,000 fresh troops. This is obviously a battle of disparity in strength.

    "Sir, the enemy army is too strong and coming in a fierce manner. The general feels that it is time to avoid the edge temporarily." Zhu Ling said worriedly.

    He meant to persuade Yuan Fang to temporarily withdraw from the siege of Duchang and retreat to Qi State to defend the newly acquired counties of Qingzhou first, and then plan to advance eastward.

    However, Yuan Fang looked solemn and said resolutely: "The battle has reached this point. There is no possibility of retreat. Even if it costs my life, I will definitely capture Duchang."

    Yuan Fang¡¯s tone was so decisive that there was no room for doubt.

    Time is running out and he can't afford it.

    There are only less than three months left in the year. Yuan Fang knows that at that time, no matter who wins or loses in the military strategy competition between him and Yuan Xi, Yuan Shao will definitely recall him from Qingzhou.

    Because Yuan Shao was deeply prejudiced against him, he would never allow him, an illegitimate son with no name and status, to have troops outside.

    Therefore, Yuan Fang must capture the entire Qingzhou before the deadline. Only in this way can he have the strength to resist Yuan Shao's order.

    If they retreat now and Xuzhou's army enters Beihai, joins forces with Kong Rong, and regains its momentum, even if they don't attack Yuan Fang, Yuan Fang will find it difficult to capture Beihai.

    Without falling into the Beihai Kingdom, Yuan Fang would not have the strength to resist Yuan Shao's order if he could not capture the entire Qingzhou.

    In this battle, even if the enemy is strong and we are weak, we can only fight to the death.

    Seeing Yuan Fang's determination, Zhu Ling no longer hesitated, and said with emotion: "Young Master has made up his mind. What else can I say to the general? You can tell me how to fight. At worst, we will risk our lives in this fight."

    Yan Liang also stood up and shouted in a rough voice: "Master, just give me the order. In the wind and fire, I, Yan Liang, will follow you to the death."

    Yuan Fang was very pleased that the two generals showed their loyalty, and his blood gradually boiled.

    However, despite his generosity, the corner of his mouth raised a sly look, and he said with a smile: "My life and yours are still left to do bigger things, how can we just hand it over to someone like Tao Qian so easily? Don't worry.  I have my own strategy to defeat the enemy."

    Yuan Fang¡¯s words were filled with strong self-confidence, as if he was already confident.

    The two generals, who were originally prepared to die generously, could not help but be surprised. They could not guess what Yuan Fang could do.

    There is a huge disparity in military strength. It would be good if we could hold it, but we still have to defeat the enemy. Isn't this too confident?

    The second general was suspicious, but he did not dare to ask more questions and just followed the order.

    At that time, Yuan Fang ordered Zhu Ling to lead 4,000 troops and horses to continue the siege of Duchang City. Yuan Fang and Yan Liang led 4,000 infantry and cavalry south to Gaomi, where they met with Guo Huai's troops and assembled 5,000 elite troops to resist Xuzhou.  army's attack.

    The order was passed, and all the generals went to prepare and set off early tomorrow morning.

    At night, Yuan Fang packed his things in his tent and prepared to go south to Gaomi tomorrow.

    The pro-military troops outside the tent came to report that it was Miss Mi who was seeking an audience outside.

    "Send her in." Yuan Fang said casually, still wiping the skull-crushing stick in his hand without raising his head.

    Light footsteps sounded, and Mi Huan stepped into the tent, still greeting him calmly and calmly.

    Yuan Fang raised his head and glanced at her. Mi Huan had changed into a dark red dress today. Under the candlelight, she looked particularly bright.

    "Miss Mi came so late, she must have come to see me off, right?" Yuan Fang motioned to the left and right to show her where to sit.

    Mi Huan knelt down and said softly: "I am indeed here to see the young master off, but judging from the young master's appearance, he seems to be very confident in this battle."

    "Why, does Miss Mi want to see me panic and uneasy, or even??Want to see me lose?  "Yuan Fang asked rhetorically.

    Mi Huan was startled, then smiled lightly and denied it.

    Putting down the skull-crushing stick, Yuan Fang changed the topic: "Miss Mi is from Xuzhou, and she should know the situation in Xuzhou very well. If you are willing, you might as well tell me the details about Zang Ba."

    Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be invincible in a hundred battles. Yuan Fang wanted to learn more about his opponent from Mi Huan.

    Mi Huan did not hide anything, and told her everything she knew about Zang Ba.

    It turns out that Zang Ba escaped from prison to save his father and became a bandit in Mount Tai. He was later recruited by Tao Qian and helped Tao Qian, a foreigner, pacify the Yellow Turbans in Xuzhou.

    Zang Ba was awarded the title of Cavalry Captain for his meritorious service. He stationed troops in the Kaiyang area of ??Langye. He recruited Taishan bandits such as Sun Guan and Wu Dun and gradually became a powerful force, controlling most of the Langye Kingdom.

    After listening to Mi Huan's words, Yuan Fang thoughtfully touched his chin and said, "According to what you said, Tao Qian originally wanted to use Zang Ba to deal with the Yellow Turban Army, but he didn't want Zang Ba to become a leader who could not hang himself. So Tao Qian  When Qian sent Zang Ba to send troops to Beihai, did he take this opportunity to weaken Zang Ba? "

    As soon as these words came out, Mi Huan's expression changed slightly, and a trace of surprise flashed in his bright eyes.

    Mi Huan's instant change could not escape Yuan Fang's eyes. He knew immediately that he had guessed correctly.

    "Young master's analytical ability is really admirable. Yes, according to the reports from our Mi family's informants in the state capital, Tao Zhou Mu sent Zang Ba to send troops this time, firstly to save Kong Rong, and secondly to take the opportunity to weaken Zang Ba.  The intention is included.¡±

    Mi Huan knew that he couldn't hide it from Yuan Fang's eyes, so he had to admit Yuan Fang's guess.

    Yuan Fang sneered: "Miss Mi, it seems you still have something to hide."

    "It's not that Huan is hiding it, it's just that you never asked, young master." Mi Huan chuckled and defended himself, with a hint of cunning flashing in his eyes.

    "Haha, that's good. It's true that I never asked." Yuan Fang was not angry at all, but burst out laughing.

    Looking at the young man with a hearty and confident smile in front of him, there was no trace of worry about being overwhelmed by a strong enemy. Such courage made Mi Huan even more curious about this young man.

    Unable to help himself, Mi Huan said: "Although Taozhou Mu intends to weaken Zang Ba, Zang Ba has great martial arts skills and is quite capable of using troops. His fifteen thousand men and horses are well-armed and they are all brave men who dare to fight. I advise you, Master, to still fight."  Don¡¯t be too confident.¡±

    Mi Huan knew that Yuan Fang's troops were insufficient and his soldiers were exhausted after a long battle, so he judged that Yuan Fang was an enemy of Zang Ba.

    The laughter stopped, but Yuan Fang asked: "Since Miss Mi has so little confidence in me, Yuan Fang, do you dare to make a bet with me?"

    A bet?

    "What's the bet?" Mi Huan frowned, looking curious.

    Yuan Fang stood up, pointed at the face with his hands, and said loudly: "Bet on whether I can defeat Zang Ba within seven days. If I fail, I will exempt all Mi family's business within my jurisdiction from tax from now on."

    Mi Huan's delicate body trembled, she didn't expect that Yuan Fang would dare to make such wild remarks.

    "Zang Ba and Liu Bei have an army of 20,000. With his current strength, it is doubtful whether he can defend Gaomi, let alone defeat. He actually made arrogant promises to defeat Zang Ba within seven days. He is really too arrogant"

    Mi Huan felt a little disapproving, so he asked: "Young Master is very brave. So if you win, what do you want from my Mi family?"

    "It's very simple. I want to share the information your Mi family has obtained from all over the world." Yuan Fang said simply.

    As the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger. Conquering the world depends not only on head-on confrontation, but also on obtaining intelligence.

    Just like the Battle of Guandu in history, Cao Cao obtained the information about Yuan Shao's grain garrison in Wuchao from Xu You, so he had the opportunity to burn Wuchao and defeat Yuan Shao.

    Yuan Fang is familiar with history and knows the importance of intelligence and reconnaissance.

    The Mi family is a wealthy family with business all over the world. Every day, countless caravans depart from the East China Sea and countless caravans return.

    These returning caravans brought not only loads of wealth, but also news and intelligence from all over the world.

    It can be said that the Mi family's huge business network is a huge intelligence system that spreads all over the world.

    If Yuan Fang can get the intelligence shared by the Mi family, he will be able to understand the enemy's situation more accurately and anticipate the enemy's opportunities.

    Mi Huan was so smart that he immediately understood Yuan Fang's intention and couldn't help but weigh it in his mind.

    "Although he has extraordinary qualities, if he wants to defeat Zang Ba within seven days, he is probably too crazy. I have a high chance of winning this bet. Qingxu is the foundation of my Mi family's business. If I can get tax exemption in Qingzhou,  The tax saved every year is more than tens of millions. Well, this bet is indeed very tempting for my Mi family.??¡­¡±

    After pondering for a while, Mi Huan made up his mind, raised his head and said with a smile: "Since you are interested, then Huan will just take a gamble with you."
