Wang Kuang tightened the sword in his hand and frowned at Wang Rui, who was about to launch a charge. Even now, even if he didn't want to continue fighting, he could not help him. Wang Rui's actions have already raised such things that were too small to the point of fighting between the two armies.

‘Dongdongdongdongdong...’

Just as Wang Rui was about to fight to the death, the earth suddenly shook, and everyone present had a sudden change in their faces. As cavalry soldiers, everyone knew that this was a large group of horses galloping, which allowed the ground phenomenon to occur.

Wang Kuang looked up and saw a large cavalry rushing towards him on the horizon in the distance. Everyone could guess that these cavalry were reinforcements from the Yang family army.

Without hesitation, Wang Kuang hurriedly retreated back to Youzhou with his cavalry. Soon after, he disappeared.

Yu Du rushed to the battlefield with five thousand cavalrymen. He first glanced around, and then said coldly to Wang Rui: "What's going on?"

Wang Rui quickly replied: "Reported to General Yu, Gaoliu County County Magistrate Wang Kuang, who led a thousand troops to break into our Bingzhou territory, attempting to use the false county annals to occupy our Bingzhou land. In order to protect the territory of Bingzhou, the Mo will first send two people to ask for help, and then lead people to negotiate with Wang Kuang. However, Wang Kuang was unruly and did not listen to the dissuasion. Only then did the Mo will bring people to fight to the death!"

Yu Du frowned and said, "I will ask you, how many people have you lost?"

Wang Rui was stunned when he heard this and quickly replied: "The last song is composed of hundreds of people, and now 73 people have been killed, six seriously injured, three are disabled, and more than two hundred enemies are killed!"

Yu Du said angrily: "It's just a small encounter. Your kid's army is basically disabled. If there are subsequent combat missions, what will you do?"

"Uh..." Wang Rui was ashamed of it and quickly lowered his head to admit his mistake, not daring to say anything, "It's all a matter of being inadequate in thinking about it, so please punish the general!"

Yu Du patted Wang Rui on the shoulder heavily and scolded, "One hundred people dare to defend against a thousand cavalry. What's the point of asking me to say you? Say your bravery, and you won another battle and wiped out more than 200 enemies; Say your brave and fearless words, you ruined most of the troops under your command, and now you have even broken up the organization!"

After Niu Meng treated the wound, he quickly pleaded for Wang Rui and said, "General Yu, no wonder Wang Du Bo is in this matter. General Yuan led his troops into the country, but he did not listen to the dissuasion, intending to provoke a war between our two armies. Our team was originally the border patrol team of Pingcheng. When encountering such a thing, of course, he would fight the enemy to death and defend our Bingzhou territory!"

Seeing Niu Meng missing a handful, Yu Du asked, "Your boy is Niu Meng?"

Niu Meng nodded quickly and said that.

"Oh..." Yu Du shook his head slightly and said regretfully: "Huashaoshan Military Academy is about to start school. I will intend to let you study for a while. When you come back, you will be promoted. Why... do you regret it?"

Niu Meng was stunned when he heard this, shook his head decisively, and said, "The villain does not regret it. Even if he comes again, the villain will follow Wang Duwang and kill him again! My territory cannot be violated. As the Yang family army, we naturally have to relieve our worries and defend our master's majesty!"

Yu Du nodded and smiled, "No, you guy said it very well!"

After thinking about it, Yu Du was admiring it in his heart and said, "After returning, Niu Meng, you guys, please retreat! I will write a letter in person to take you there so that you can find a leisurely position in the future and spend the rest of your life!"

A trace of unbearance flashed in Niu Meng's eyes, and he shook his head and refused, "General Yu, I can still fight, but I have no arms. I can still fight again. Please don't let me retreat!"

Yu Du said in a deep voice: "You are all heroes of our army. Now that you have lost your arms, will I let you go to the battlefield again and lose your life? This is our army's iron rule, don't be presumptuous!"

With Wang Kuang's previous experience, Yu Du then sent several teams of hundreds to patrol the border just in case, and at the same time, he truthfully declared the matters that Wang Rui and the others encountered.

A few days later, Guan Yu, who was far away in Mayi, learned that Yuan's army would dare to lead troops into the country without authorization, and directly ordered the entire army to be on guard. At the same time, he increased the garrison of the cities adjacent to Yanmen County and Youzhou.

Nowadays, Bingzhou has a wide range of transportation and Wang Rui's affairs, several days apart, Yang Fan, who was far away in Jinyang, learned the news.

On this day, Yang Fan was discussing with his civil and military officials. After hearing about Yuan Jun’s entry, he smiled angry and said, “What a Yuan Xiansi, your father dared not make me so unhappy. You kid, you are not as good as flirting with tiger beards. Do you really think that I, Yang Fan, will not get angry?”

Yang Fan's words sounded like a joke, but those who are familiar with him knew that this was a sign that Yang Fan was about to get angry.

As expected, before everyone could speak, Yang Fan continued to ask: "Shiping, Wenruo, Su Shuang, all three of you should talk about it. How much do you have in stock?"

Here, Yang Fan naturally would not ask about storing an arrow, making a few knives, and collecting a few grains of grain.

Xun Yu took the lead in replying: "The stock of food and grass is enough for the soldiers of the two battalions to fight for three consecutive years."

Zhang Shiping replied: "Our army's inventory is enough for the first battalion of soldiers to be replaced three times."

Su Shuang replied: "The money in stock can only be paid to 50,000 soldiers!"

Yang Fan frowned slightly and said in confusion: "The Commercial Department was first established, why is it not as good as the military supplies?"

Su Shuang smiled bitterly and said, "Lord, you are not in charge of the family. You don't know how expensive it is to build a road, build a school, recruit soldiers, and provide disaster relief. Even craftsmen who build weapons also need money, and money is everywhere! It's really not easy for me to save these!"

Everyone in the room smiled at Su Shuang. In fact, everyone knows that the most difficult thing to do is Su Shuang, the leader of the business department. Today this department asks him for money, and tomorrow that department asks him for money, and Su Laoshao’s name has gradually spread.

Xun Yu explained: "Lord, our army broke the aristocratic family management system, returned to the local people, and reduced and exempted many taxes. Now the business in Bingzhou has not been developed yet, so there is no food in terms of saving money! However, this disadvantage can be avoided in just five to ten years after the system in Bingzhou is improved!"

Yang Fan frowned and said, "Wouldn't that mean that if I use troops to Yuan Shao, I can only use the first battalion of troops, and I can't fight for a long time?"

Xun You nodded and said, "That's right, the lord is a wise king, not like other princes. After the military soldiers of other princes were killed, except for some generals who had pensions, ordinary soldiers did not have pensions. This is also the important reason why our army's combat power is far superior to other princes."

Guo Jia smiled and said, "Yes, our soldiers dare to fight to the death. Who would really fight to the death except for those few direct troops?"

Yang Fan's fingers rhythmically hit the desk table and asked, "It seems that you can't just attack Yuan Shao, you still need to use tricks!"

Xun Yu analyzed: "Lord, Cao Cao from the Central Plains is in full swing. I believe that Yuan Shu will be defeated next year! Why don't our army accumulate strength? After Cao Cao takes over the Central Plains, the four states will be in the size. Yuan Shao will definitely throw himself into trouble at that time, so that our army can also make profits."

Yang Fan frowned and said, "Yuan Tan has reached out. If I don't express my opinion and make a statement, then Yuan Benchu ​​will think that I, Yang Bowen, can be bullied!"

Guo Jia nodded and smiled, "Since the Yuan army has taken the lead in taking action, our army naturally wants to express its intentions. However, it cannot really provoke a military disaster with Jizhou. Yuan army is strong. If our army eats it in one bite, it will inevitably cause damage. In my opinion, it is purely not worth the loss!"

Xun You said, "The lord can act in an angry manner, so that General Guan's Dongdaying and General Gao's Zhongdaying will move. In this way, Yuan Shao will be nervous. However, Cao Cao is gradually growing up, and our army will only need to drag on for a year or two. Then, after we can provoke discord and let Cao Cao fight with Yuan Shao, our army can reap the benefits of the fisherman."

Xun Yu nodded and agreed: "Yes, since our army does not have much money, why bother to cause trouble? However, if our army does not take action, it does not mean that our army is easy to bully. It still needs to be done. After all, Yuan Shao's enemy is not the only one. After Cao Cao is in danger to Yuan Shao, then it will be an excellent time for our army to take action!"

Guo Jia laughed and said, "We can do it. If we use this as a threat, extortion, maybe we can make a big profit!"

Although Yang Fan originally formulated a reward and punishment and pension system, although it could unite the hearts of the soldiers of the entire army, it also had its pros and cons. Now Bingzhou is in a time of great development, and there are too many places to use money. If a large-scale war is launched at this time, and the soldiers' pensions cannot keep up after the war, it will undoubtedly be a slap in the face. Maybe the system that Yang Fan finally established will be affected.

After thinking about it, Yang Fan decided to suspend the offensive against Yuan's army. However, the Pingcheng war was related to Yang Fan's face, so he could not just let it go. At this moment, Yang Fan directly ordered Guan Yu's Dongdaying to go to the border of Yanmen County. At the same time, Gao Shun's Zhongdaying also dispatched two schools to enter Shangdang County and made an attack on Yecheng.

The Yang family army's big moves were naturally not hidden from those who were interested. For a moment, the eyes of the people of the world and many princes were devoted to the north. After all, the mobilization of one or two hundred thousand people could make some people sleepless at night, and the brave and warlike Yang family army was also the brave and good at fighting.

While transferring the army, Yang Fan also sent an envoy to Yecheng, intending to force Yuan Shao to admit defeat and ask him to sign the "city agreement".

A few days later, Yuan Shao, who was far away in Yecheng, received news that the Yang family army had made great wars. He did not dare to neglect at the moment and quickly summoned his civil and military personnel to discuss.

Yuan Shao asked in a furious manner: "What happened? Let Yang Bowen get into such a big fight?"
