Yuan Shaosi thought: "Yanzhou is very close to Jizhou and Luoyang, and Cao Cao's current strength is limited. I intend to destroy Cao Cao first and take Yanzhou!"

"No! My lord, Cao Cao was one of the princes who attacked Dong Zhuo before. If we rush to use troops against him without a suitable opportunity or excuse, the public opinion may not be good for our lord! Why not attack Bingzhou first!" "Bingzhou?"

Tian Feng nodded and analyzed: "Lü Bu is Dong Zhuo's eagle dog. No one will object to the lord's use of troops. Bingzhou is located to the west of Jizhou and is the northern barrier of the entire Sili Prefecture! If you occupy Bingzhou, you can overlook the Chang'an area!

When the time comes, the lord can send troops from the north and the east to Chang'an at the same time to wipe out Dong Zhuo in one fell swoop! In this way, the world will surely return to its center, and the lord can take advantage of the situation to clear out Yu Nei and achieve eternal hegemony!"

Yuan Shao was overjoyed. Then he frowned slightly, "But Lu Bu is currently in charge of merging the state. It may not be easy to merge the state!"

Tian Feng laughed loudly and said, "My lord, you are too worried! Lu Bu is only a small man, so what is there to be afraid of? Besides, all the governors of Bingzhou disobey Lu Bu, and the governor of Taiyuan and the governor of Shangdang are my lord's confidants! No one will help Lu Bu in the war!"

In addition, the lord can also send a secret envoy to contact Wu Tong, the prefect of Yanmen County. This person was originally Ding Yuan's confidant. Ding Yuan was killed by Lu Bu, so this person hated Lu Bu. If the lord asked him to attack Lu Bu together, he would definitely

I won’t refuse. By then, my lord will send a large army to attack Lu Bu head-on, and Wu Tong will send troops to attack his flank. Lu Bu will definitely be wiped out in one battle! Once Lu Bu is destroyed, Bingzhou will be in my lord’s pocket!"

Yuan Shao touched his palms excitedly and said, "Just follow Yuan Hao's plan!"

…

His eyes turned to the clouds.

"General, the Prime Minister has sent someone to deliver the money and food for next month!" Song Xian said, cupping his fists.

"How many?"

"It's the same as what was sent last month. It's only enough for 35,000 people."

Zhang Lang was furious, "Damn! He is afraid that I will expand my army!" The generals were a little angry, and some looked puzzled. Gao Shun frowned and said, "The general is the Prime Minister's confidant, why is the Prime Minister like this?"

Zhang Lang sneered, "Confidant? I'm afraid he no longer thinks so!" He looked at Zhang Liao and asked, "Wenyuan, how many troops do we have now?" "Reporting to the general, our army now has a total of 36,000 infantry and cavalry.

Six thousand, totaling 42,000 people!”

Zhang Lang frowned and said: "These county guards in Bingzhou are also submissive to us! Damn it!"

A herald rushed into the hall in a panic, knelt down and said: "The general is in trouble! Yuan Shao's army is coming to kill!"

Zhang Lang frowned and cursed angrily: "This Yuan Shao really knows how to choose the right time!" Then he asked the herald: "How many people are there on the other side?"

"According to the report from the scouts ahead, there are 100,000 infantry and 50,000 horse troops, for a total of 150,000 troops!"

The generals present took a deep breath.

Zhang Lang rubbed his forehead and felt a headache. The generals looked at Zhang Lang, waiting for his orders. Zhang Lang raised his head and said contemptuously: "There are quite a lot of people! But no matter how many sheep there are, they are no match for the tigers!"

Seeing Zhang Lang's very calm look, Jiang's initially panicked mood immediately returned to calm.

Zhang Lang said to Song Xian: "Immediately inform the Prime Minister about this matter, and also pass my order to Xihe County and Shang County, ordering the two counties to gather troops and horses to march eastward to respond to our army! At the same time, order Wuyuan County, Yunzhong County, Dingxiang County,

The prefects of Yanmen County and Shuofang County ordered them to lead their troops to Yanmen County to join our army!" "Promise." Song Xian clasped his fists in agreement and left quickly. Zhang Lang glanced at the generals and said, "The generals will return to camp immediately.

Gather the sergeants and prepare to leave!" "No!"

In the dead of night, Zhang Lang stood alone in front of the map. He felt that the situation in front of him was hazy and he could not see clearly.

Early the next morning, Zhang Lang led eight generals: Zhang Liao, Zang Ba, Hao Meng, Cao Xing, Cheng Lian, Wei Xu, Song Xian, and Hou Cheng, commanding an army of 40,000 and marched towards Yanmen County. Gao Shun then commanded the two

Qianbu soldiers stayed in Yunzhong County to supervise the management of grain and grass.

A few days later, the army entered Dingxiang County. It was already dark and the army camped by the Hun River.

"Wenyuan, is there any news about the governors of various counties?"

Zhang Liao shook his head, "There is no news yet."

A scout hurried into the tent and knelt down to report: "General, Yuan Shao's army has passed Mayi in Yanmen County and is heading towards Dingxiang County!"

Zhang Lang was shocked, "What!?" He paused and said coldly: "Wu Tong must have colluded with Yuan Shao! I should have thought of it earlier! Damn it!"

Zhang Liao frowned and said: "The terrain of Yanmen County is difficult. It was originally an excellent barrier for Yuan Shao's defense, but now..."

Zhang Lang stood up and walked to the map hanging on the side of the tent. Zhang Liao stood next to Zhang Lang and pointed to the location of Mayi, "Mayi is here." Zhang Lang's eyes fell on Mayi, and then he looked towards

Moving north to the junction of Yanmen County and Dingxiang County, "Yuan Shao's forward cavalry may have almost entered Dingxiang at this moment!" Zhang Liao pointed to the Great Wall in the middle of the designated Xiang County, "Lord, we should occupy the Great Wall before Yuan Shao.

!" Zhang Lang nodded, turned around, and ordered: "Wenyuan, you lead two thousand cavalry first, and you must occupy the Great Wall before Yuan Shao's army!" "Promise! Without further delay, the general will lead his army immediately.

!" He turned around and walked quickly out of the tent.

At this moment, on the grasslands of Yanmen County, a vanguard composed of ten thousand cavalry was advancing northward at full speed. The leading general was Yuan Shao's general Gao Lan.

The sun rises from the east, and the earth sees light again.

Gao Lan led 10,000 forward cavalry up the hill and saw the Great Wall not far ahead, shining brightly in the rising sun.

Gao Lan showed a smile. Suddenly, a black figure appeared on the horizon, speeding towards him, and there was a faint sound of thunder. Gao Lan showed excitement and shouted: "The enemy is in front! Follow me.

Defeat the enemy!" Ten thousand soldiers shouted in unison, the sound shook the sky! Then smoke and dust rushed out all over the sky.

The two thousand black cavalry in front quickly formed three charging lines while running at full speed, wow! A strong iron-blooded energy rushed towards his face! Gao Lan couldn't help but feel frightened!

In just a moment, the two sides met each other! Two thousand black-armored cavalry instantly charged into Yuan Shao's cavalry with a never-returning momentum. Yuan Shao's cavalry were chopped off their horses one after another! Zhang Liao took the lead with his sword, and there was no one who could join him wherever he passed.

!The officers and soldiers of Yuan Shaojun couldn’t help but feel timid!

Zhang Liao killed Yuan Shao's cavalry and marched straight towards Gao Lan. Gao Lan was shocked. The two sides fought for more than ten rounds. Zhang Liao raised his sword and knocked away the spear in Gao Lan's hand. Gao Lan was horrified and hurriedly turned his horse's head to escape. When Yuan Shao's cavalry saw this,

The soldiers had no intention of fighting, so they abandoned their helmets and fled. Two thousand cavalry took the opportunity to cover up the attack, killing Yuan Shao's army until the corpses were scattered all over the field. They chased Yuan Shao for more than ten miles before Zhang Liao withdrew his troops.

Yuan Shao looked at the embarrassed Gao Lan who was kneeling under the tent with a livid face, "You! Ten thousand cavalry were defeated by two thousand of the opponent's cavalry! More than half of them were lost! If you demoralize our army, you will be punished! Come on, push me down and chop him down.
Chapter completed!
