Yuan Fang slapped the table and said with a smile: "Miss Mi is really happy, so it's settled."
Mi Huan realized that he had made a huge profit, and he was secretly happy. When he was happy, he said casually: "Then let's make it a deal."
With that said, Mi Huan raised his hand and extended his little finger.
She raised her hand like this, and her sleeves slid down, revealing her lotus-like arms, which were as white as jade, with skin as tender as snow, and white and red.
Yuan Fang was startled, but he didn't expect that although Mi Huan was extremely smart, she was still a girl. In a moment of joy, she actually used the hook agreement and played like a child.
However, this romantic temperament made Yuan Fang feel a little warm.
He shook his head and smiled, stretched out his hand, and made a promise to her.
When the fingers touched, I felt that her small onion-like fingers were soft and smooth, as if they were boneless.
With his fingers hooked like this, Mi Huan quickly regained his composure and said with a slight smile: "The ring is right here, waiting for the good news of the young master."
With a blessing, Mi Huan said goodbye and left.
Looking at the graceful figure walking away, Yuan Fang raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth and murmured: "Mi Huan, you think you have made a sure-fire deal, so I will teach you a lesson."
¡¡
The next day, when the sky was still dark, Yuan Fang led four thousand cavalry and headed south from Duchang City to Gaomi.
Along the way, careful operators and scouts constantly reported the military situation in the south at all times.
The 20,000 Xuzhou Army, with Zang Ba leading 15,000 as the front army, and Liu Bei leading 5,000 troops as the rear army, set out from Zang Ba's hometown of Kaiyang and arrived at Dongwu City in the northernmost part of Langye Kingdom within a few days.
Zang Ba was also very quick in deploying his troops. He did not hesitate to enter the territory of Beihai Kingdom from Dongwu, and marched towards Gaomi at night and under starlight.
The distance between Gaomi and Duchang is almost the same as the distance to Dongwu City. Yuan Fang is fighting at home and has every chance to reach Gaomi City before Zang Ba's army arrives.
However, after learning the information about Zang Ba's army entering the country, Yuan Fang deliberately slowed down his pace.
It was early that morning, forty miles away from Gaomi City.
The scouts rushed over, arrived in front of Yuan Fang's horse, cupped his hands and said, "Master, General Guo is reporting urgently. Zang Ba's troops are only twenty miles away from Gaomi City."
Hearing this information, Yan Liang was surprised and said anxiously: "Sir, we are marching too slowly. We are more than twenty miles behind the Xuzhou Army. Now we can't catch up no matter how we catch up. Why don't we order the general to lead the cavalry first? Able to enter high-density reinforcements before the enemy forces siege the city.¡±
Yan Liang was very anxious, fearing that it would be too late to strengthen the defense of Gaomi City. There were only more than a thousand soldiers under Guo Huai's command in the city. If it were surrounded by 20,000 Xuzhou troops and besieged from all sides, it would probably fall in a few days.
Once Gaomi falls, the gate to Duchang will be open, and the situation will be very unfavorable for Yuan Jun.
Yuan Fang was not in a hurry at all. Instead of complying with Yan Liang's request, he waved his hand and said, "Send the order to Guo Huai. It's almost time to abandon the city. Ask him to act more like himself."
"No!" the scout ran away.
Yan Liang was startled and said in surprise: "Sir, we came here in such a hurry just to defend Gaomi and block the enemy. How could you give up so easily?"
Yan Liang couldn¡¯t figure out why Yuan Fang suddenly made such an unexpected decision.
"If we rush into Gaomi City, we may be surrounded by the Xuzhou Army and trapped in the city. At that time, the situation will really be unfavorable to us." Yuan Fang said disapprovingly.
Yan Liang was startled, and then said: "But if we don't defend Gaomi, how can we withstand the attack of 20,000 Xuzhou troops?"
"Who said I have to keep it?"
Yan Liang snorted coldly, and a cold and murderous intention appeared on his handsome face.
He cast his eagle eyes towards the south, grasped the skull-crushing stick tightly, and said proudly: "I want to fight quickly and kill the Xuzhou army without leaving a single piece of armor behind, so that Tao Qian doesn't dare to mess with me again!"
Yan Liang was shocked and secretly uttered his words. Even a man like him, who relied on his own bravery, would not dare to be so bold in the face of the fierce Xuzhou army, and even wanted to kill the enemy without leaving any trace of armor behind.
"Moreover, it must be resolved quickly.
Yuan Fang¡¯s ¡°arrogance¡± really surprised Yan Liang.
However, he was immediately infected by Yuan Fang's arrogance, his blood surged to his head, and he shouted generously: "Young Master, tell me how to fight this battle. I, Yan Liang, will listen to you."
Yuan Fang pointed his horse whip forward and said loudly: "The whole army will continue to advance and go down to the stronghold fifteen miles north of Gaomi City to join Guo Huai's troops and defeat the enemy together!"
¡¡
At dusk, in Gaomi City, dust and fog cover the sky.?The battle flag is like a wave.
The 15,000-strong Xuzhou Legion surged towards Gaomi City like a tide.
That big flag with the word "Zang" flying proudly leads such a tiger and wolf army.
The black-bearded military commander at the head was carrying a big iron spear, his thick eyebrows were furrowed, and he looked very majestic.
That person is none other than the mighty Zang Ba of Mount Tai.
¡°General, is Gaomi City ahead?¡± Next to him, the general Wu Dun shouted excitedly.
Zang Ba looked up and saw the outline of a city coming into view.
Zang Bahu opened his eyes and shouted: "Send an order to the whole army to attack the city directly. We are going to capture Gaomi first before the enemy's reinforcements arrive."
The order was passed, and 15,000 Xuzhou troops boosted their morale and attacked the enemy city.
Not long after, Xuzhou¡¯s army reached the city. Zang Ba did not rest and ordered his army to attack the city from all sides.
He had already detected in advance that there were only a thousand Yuan troops in Gaomi City, and Yuan Fang seemed to be restrained by Kong Rong and was unable to increase his troops in Gaomi.
It is precisely for this reason that Zang Bayi marched at night and starry to seize Gaomi first after receiving Tao Qian's order.
Zang Ba couldn¡¯t understand the terrain of Qingzhou any more. He knew that as long as he captured Gaomi City, Yuan Fang would no longer be able to stop his troops.
Ten thousand Xuzhou troops attacked Gaomi, but to Zang Ba's surprise, Gaomi city was deserted.
The soldiers and horses rushed into the city. Not only did they not see even half of Yuan's army, but even the thousands of people in the city abandoned the city.
Zang Ba entered Gaomi City effortlessly.
When the army entered the city, Zang Ba captured a few remaining people staying in the city for interrogation. Only then did he learn that Guo Huai had led a thousand remaining soldiers to evacuate Gaomi in a hurry in the afternoon.
Zang Ba then sent to the north for reconnaissance and found that the north road was full of flags, drums, and armor abandoned by Yuan Jun. It was obvious that Yuan Jun retreated in a hurry.
At the top of the North Gate City, Zang Ba listened to the scout's report, with a proud smile on his lips.
"The general told us to travel day and night. It's true. Guo Huai must have been afraid of being surrounded by our army, so he abandoned the city in a hurry and fled." Wu Dun said excitedly.
Zang Ba stroked his beard lightly, his expression becoming more and more proud.
Wu Dun took advantage of the situation and flattered him: "Come on, Gao Mi, the defeat of that boy Yuan Fang is certain. I would like to congratulate the general in advance on his promotion to the post of Langye Prime Minister."
Although Zang Ba dominated the Langye Kingdom, he had no status. Now Tao Qian ordered Zang Ba to send troops to rescue Kong Rong. The condition is that as long as he succeeds, he will be officially appointed as the Prime Minister of Langye Kingdom.
???????????? Prime Minister, for a high-ranking official of two thousand dan, only those whose ancestors have held the official position of 2,000 dan are qualified to serve in the ranks of the family.
Zang Ba was born as a Taishan bandit. If he could become the Prime Minister, he would really be proud of his ancestors.
It was precisely for this condition that Zang Ba mobilized all his troops and rushed to Beihai, determined to win.
Hearing Wu Dun's flattery, Zang Ba was in a happy mood. He couldn't help laughing, waving his hands and saying: "Send the order and tell the soldiers to rest in Gaomi City for a few days. I expect that Yuan Fang will know that Gaomi has made a mistake, so he doesn't need me." If you send troops, they will be so frightened that they will retreat on their own, so that I can easily break the siege of Beihai."
That day, 15,000 Xuzhou soldiers entered Gaomi. After a long-distance attack, they could finally have a good night's rest.
¡¡
Fifteen miles away, Yuan Fang has completed his camp.
In the evening, Guo Huai led a thousand soldiers and horses in a hurry to join them.
As soon as Guo Huai's troops arrived, news of the fall of Gaomi quickly spread among the army. The fighting spirit of Yuan Jun's officers and soldiers was immediately dampened, and there was a lot of discussion for a while.
??Chinese military tent.
Yan Liang strode in and said anxiously: "Sir, the morale of the soldiers was greatly affected when they heard that Gaomi abandoned the army without fighting. They have already lost their morale before fighting, which is even more detrimental to us."
As soon as he finished speaking, Guo Huai walked in from outside the tent.
Yuan Fang did not answer Yan Liang, but turned his gaze to Guo Huai and asked, "Is everything ready?"
Guo Huai nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, young master, I will follow the young master's instructions more than ten days ago. Everything is ready and waiting for today."
"good!"
Yuan Fang slapped the case fiercely, cheered up, and said with a sneer: "Zang Ba thinks he took advantage of Gaomi by going to Gaomi without a fight. Tonight, we will make him regret it."
