Shen Pei's expression was also heavy. The first battle of the Yang family army completely made them confused. Ten thousand people disappeared without a trace overnight. If some people escaped, Yuan Xi and the others could also know the situation of the battle last night. But now, only the figure of the camp of the camp made Yuan Xi and the others even more frightened. After all, unknown things are the ones that make people scared.

As the only adviser under Yuan Xi's tent, Shen Pei naturally had to advise Yuan Xi to withdraw his troops and avoid the edge.

Yuan Xi seemed to have the intention of retreating, but he was puzzled about Shen Pei's suggestion and asked immediately: "Zhengnan, if our army retreats to Anping, then Wei County, Zhao State, and Qinghe State will all be given to the Yang family army!"

Shen Pei sighed and said, "Lord, the Yang family army is in full swing. It is better for our army to avoid the edge for the time being! As long as you are still here, our soldiers can do their best. If you are trapped in Yecheng, the Yang family army only needs to attack Yecheng and capture you, then I, Jizhou, will be defeated without attacking!"

Shen Pei's words were already very clear, that is, Yuan Xi, as the lord of Jizhou, must not fall into the hands of the Yang family army. If Yuan Xi is captured or killed, then the entire Jizhou will face a situation where there is no leader. In that case, wouldn't it be a disadvantage for the Yang family army or Yuan Tan from Youzhou?

After thinking about it, Yuan Xi decided to adopt the plan of Shen Pei, and left the city at night, headed north to Anping Kingdom, relying on the complex geographical environment of the water system to resist the Yang family's army's military.

That night, Yuan Xi, with only 20,000 troops left under his command, quietly left Yecheng, headed north into Zhao, trying to go from Zhao, pass by Julu, and then to Anping.

The territory of Zhao State is complex, connecting to the Taihang Mountains in the west and to the North China Plain in the east. Yuan Xi also wanted to leave the Yang family army away.

However, what Yuan Xi could not have imagined was that the State of Zhao was no longer under his rule. After years of development, the State of Zhao has long become the territory of the Black Mountain Army, and the cities of which are even more inextricably linked to the Black Mountain Army and have close relationships.

Yuan Xigang led his army to the Zhao State Governor. At the time of Handan, the Heishan army in Heishan received the news.

The eastern foot of Taihang Mountain, more than 40 miles away from Handan, is the Fukou Pass of Taihang Eight Passes, and an important pass connecting Bingzhou and Jizhou. It has been a place that military strategists have been competing for since ancient times. However, due to the existence of the Heishan Army, Yuan Shao failed to master this important road from beginning to end, and it has been firmly held by the Heishan Army.

There is a mountain at the exit from Fukou Xing to Jizhou, called Cishan. Due to the special geographical environment, Yang Fan knew the importance of Fukou Xing. On this Cishan, a Heishan army has been stationed all year round to guard the eastern exit of Fukou Xing.

The commander of this Black Mountain Army was Yang Feng, the captain of the Black Mountain Army who was granted by Emperor Ling of Han.

On this day, Zhang Niujiao and Chu Yan and other generals rushed to Cishan.

Yang Feng was frightened and thought that he had not done well enough. He quickly arranged a banquet. During the meal, he was puzzled and asked carefully: "General Zhang, why did you suddenly visit Cishan? Is it because the general did not do well enough? Please ask the general's famous saying, the general will definitely correct it!"

Zhang Niujiao laughed and said, "General Yang has been working hard to guard Cishan for our army. How could I blame him?"

Yang Feng asked puzzledly: "General Zhang, why did you come with the generals' synesthesia? What happened?"

Yang Feng couldn't help but worry. Although Zhang Niujiao brought only five or six people this time, they were all big commanders in the Heishan Army, including big and big bosses like Chu Yan. You should know that Chu Yan is now a general of a school who commands 20,000 troops, and Yang Feng is just a sibling who commands only 2,000 people. Chu Yan is his immediate boss.

Chu Yan patted Yang Feng on the shoulder and said with a smile: "General Yang, don't panic. Not long ago, the lord sent someone to send a letter to prepare our army! When the time comes, you will come out to attack Jizhou! Conquer the world for the lord!"

Yang Feng was shocked when he heard this. He had been in this Black Mountain for many years in order to agree to Yang Fan's promise. Although the Yang family army would bring wine and meat every once in a while, how many people could really calm down and wait for the boring life?

At first, some people in the Heishan Army did not respect the orders and plundered them without authorization to harm the people. However, those people disappeared without a trace in the following days, and the dog legs behind them were mostly broken and abandoned the mountains and forests. Until then, the generals in the Heishan Army realized that there was always a group of people in the Heishan Mountain. They existed to supervise the Heishan Army. No one knew who they were. Even Zhang Niujiao himself did not know. He only knew that these people were sent by Yang Fan.

Perhaps, it is a soldier or a pawn.

Yang Feng asked in surprise: "Then can we go out openly?"

Chu Yan nodded and smiled, "Yes!"

Yang Feng asked again: "When can I go out?"

As soon as his words fell, everyone present turned their eyes to a middle-aged scholar who was headed by Zhang Niujiao.

Yang Feng was stunned when he saw this, then turned his head and saw that the scholar was so majestic that he was sitting there quietly, but the bookish aura in his body was impressive. Just one glance at him would make people feel that this person had a wise look and good plan, and he was the kind of strategist who was very wise and had a lot of wisdom.

Zhang Niujiao laughed and said, "This question is, I have to ask Mr. Tian!"

Chu Yan explained to Yang Feng: "General Yang, this person is called Tian Feng, whose name is Yuanhao. He was originally a governor of Jizhou and a counselor under Han Fu. Now, he is my Heishan Army, a military advisor of a hundred thousand people, and also a military commander."

Yang Feng quickly stood up and said, "The last general Yang Feng, pay homage to Military Advisor Tian, ​​the name of Military Advisor Tian, ​​is well-known for his last general!"

Tian Feng waved his hand casually, signaled Yang Feng to sit down, and said lightly: "I am very frightened by the lord's reputation and become the military advisor of the Heishan Army! All the generals are eager to make contributions, and they all understand in their hearts! Now our vanguard, the camp has left Huguan, passed Baixing, and surrounded Yecheng. According to the lord's guess, Yuan Xi will definitely lead his troops to retreat northward and pass through Zhao State. Our mission is to give a thunder attack after Yuan Xi's troops arrive in Zhao State. However, Yuan's soldiers are numerous. Considering that General Yang Feng has only two thousand troops, he suggests that General Zhang gather 5,000 elite soldiers first, summon the mighty generals in our army and hide in this Cishan Mountain. The rest of the troops will come and then come. After Yuan Xi arrives, our army can attack the camp at night!"

It was the first time Zhang Niujiao heard Tian Feng say their mission. At first, he just received an order to gather elite troops and rush to Cishan. Now it sounded a little mysterious. He asked now: "Yuan Hao! Then Yuan Xi may not have to leave Zhao State, it is okay to retreat from Julu or Qinghe State! Besides, if he kept retreating north like this, then Zhao State and Wei County would not want it?"

Tian Feng analyzed: "Not only Zhao State, if I were Yuan Xi, even Julu and Qinghe counties, I would have given up on guard!"

Chu Yan said in confusion: "Why? If you give up so many territories, then Yuan Xi wouldn't just surrender to our army directly, so it would be easy!"

Tian Feng shook his head and said, "No, no, this is exactly what Yuan Xi is smart. Generals, our army has entered Wei County. Yuan Xi knows the power of our army and knows that Wei County is not a place for long-term defense. Then he will go north and find a place to resist our army! However, in the territory of Zhao, there are high mountains and deep valleys, steep roads and sparsely populated areas, and it is connected to Heishan, so Yuan Xi will naturally not retreat to Zhao State;"

"The Qinghe Kingdom has a flat horse and no firmness to defend, and it is not a place to defend the support. Although the rivers and the terrain are wide and the terrain is good, since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, nine out of ten houses have been empty, and the people are suffering. In recent years, Yuan Shao has also intended to restore the glory of Julu County in the past, but this is not a matter of one day or one night. Moreover, Julu County is next to Wei County, and is under the military front of our army, so Yuan Xi would not choose this place!"

Chu Yan said suspiciously: "With the military advisor's words, Yuan Xi will directly retreat to Anping Kingdom? Give up the four places of Zhao Kingdom, Julu County, Qinghe Kingdom, and Wei County? He does not have such great courage, right? Those are hundreds of thousands of people and dozens of cities! Yuan Xi, who was just starting out, dared to defeat Yuan Shao's hard-working family business like this?"

Tian Feng smiled wryly and said, "Yuan Xi has always had great ambitions. Our army has secretly sent people to observe for a long time and predicted that he can do this!"

Zhang Niujiao laughed and said, "There are several big rivers in Anping, crisscrossing and it is a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. This is the same reason why Yuan Shao chose to fight Gongsun Zan in Anping! Now, Yuan Shao's son wants to follow the tricks he used back then, but he just doesn't know whether it works or not!"

Tian Feng analyzed: "Yuan Xi retreated north, on the one hand, the troops with a sluggish morale and unstable morale, and on the other hand, he was chasing behind him. If he wanted to get rid of the pursuit of the trap camp, he had no choice but to go to Zhao State and use these winding roads within Zhao State to get rid of the pursuit of the trap camp!"

At this moment, the spy came to report that Yuan's army, which had about 20,000 to 30,000 yuan, came from the south and entered Handan City this evening.

Zhang Niujiao was happy when he heard this and exclaimed: "The military advisor is really good at predicting things! We are still guessing why Yuan Xi had to go here. Now, please see, Yuan Xi has really come to Zhao State!"

Chu Yan also had an excited face and said with a smile: "It's time to kill the enemy and make meritorious service to the lord. Everyone, if you want to go on stage to worship the general and win the wife and son, it's time to go!"

Tian Feng silently calculated the time and said with a heavy expression: "It seems that we all underestimated that Yuan Xi!"

Zhang Niujiao asked in confusion: "Yuan Hao, why did you say that?"

Tian Feng analyzed: "At first, I concluded that Yuan Xi would definitely hold Yecheng for several days. Now it seems that Yuan Xi did not defend Yecheng, but retreated northward directly! Now, it is difficult to deal with!"

Zhang Niujiao was anxious and asked, "Why is it difficult to deal with?"

As a native of Jizhou, how could Tian Feng not know about Handan City? He replied with a wry smile: "Our army has only 7,000 people, and Yuan army is not the defeated generals we guess. How can we break through Handan City in this hasty? Little do we know that it was the capital of Zhao State in the Spring and Autumn Period!"

Zhang Niujiao was stunned when he heard this. He thought Tian Feng would say something, but it turned out to be this. He smiled and said, "So it's this! Yuan Hao doesn't have to be anxious! I will have his own way to break through the city of Handan!"

Chu Yan and other generals all looked at each other and smiled. The nervous atmosphere just now gradually eased.
