Chapter 1023 The Eve of the Battle

Guo Jia's words made Huangfu Chaobo's heart suddenly tremble. Yes, when did Yuan Shao's army become so vulnerable? Gongsun Zan's 30,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry actually killed him within a few hundred miles of the hinterland. , even if the Montenegrin Army is on hand to support them, it cannot be done, not to mention that the Montenegrin Army is still looking after itself.

Gongsun Zan's white horse Yi Cong is strong, but what about his 20,000 infantry? Isn't it possible that Yuan Shao can't do anything about him? You must know that an army of fifty thousand horses and infantry is not a small amount of people eating horses and chewing in one day. It took more than a month for my own army of hundreds of thousands to invade Cao Cao's army's territory.

When he thought of this, Huangfu Chaobo couldn't help but change his expression, and loudly ordered: "Come here, tell General Zhao Yun to quickly lead the cavalry north to meet Gongsun Zan's army."

Just as Shi A was about to take the order and leave, Guo Jia suddenly stopped him and said, "My lord, wait a minute!"

Seeing Huangfu Chaobo looking at him, Guo Jiaqi said: "That alone is not enough. The lord needs to be prepared for a war with Yuan Shaojun. If Jia Guo guessed correctly, this must be Yuan Shaojun's plan, preparing to annihilate Gongsun in one fell swoop. The 50,000 elite of the prefect, especially the 30,000 cavalry."

"For the sake of filial piety, what other arrangements are needed?"

"Liyang's 50,000-strong army can no longer cross the river and must go north to Ye County. If Governor Gongsun is defeated this time, Yuan Shao's army will have no worries and will most likely turn around and march westward to attack Wei County. Therefore, Wei County must make full preparations Prepare."

"Yuan Shao dares to start a war on two fronts?" Huangfu Chaobo looked at Guo Jia in disbelief and asked;

"Now our army is fighting fiercely with Cao Cao's army. If Yuan Shao's army takes the opportunity to advance westward, the general may send troops to cross the river to support him?"

After hearing this, Huangfu Chaobo stretched out his hand and slapped the case in front of him, and cursed angrily: "Pig teammate, pig teammate! Gongsunzan, your head was caught in the door, you want to die and you have to drag it on" I’m in the water!”

"My lord, for the current plan, in addition to General Zhao of Wei County, the other two counties also need to be prepared. If Lu Bu's army suddenly goes south, our army may be surrounded by enemies on all sides." Pang Tong also said;

"Yes, fortunately, we still have 50,000 troops gathered in Liyang and have not yet gone south. Otherwise, if the war in Hebei starts, these 50,000 troops will probably be exhausted." Lu Su also said;

Huangfu Chaobo nodded, Nima, the situation I finally reversed was ruined by this pig teammate. Thinking of this, Huangfu Chaobo couldn't help but get so angry that he almost vomited three liters of blood.

If he is really surrounded by enemies from all sides, he may not be able to defend the four counties of Cao Cao that he has eaten. Every time Yuan Shao participated in the war, Huangfu Chaobo felt frightened. It can be said that he never got anything good from him.

At this moment, Huangfu Chaobo thought that if Gongsun Zan's army had fallen into Yuan Shao's trap, would his reaction have been expected by Yuan Shaojun? If that was the case. . .

Thinking of this, Huangfu Chaobo couldn't help but shudder. You must know that Yuan Shao's subordinates have countless advisers and generals, just Xu You, Xun Chen, Feng Ji, Guo Tu, Chen Lin, Shen Pei, Xin Pingze They were all top counselors in the Three Kingdoms period, but I was the only one in Wei County, old man Jushou. Can he stop Yuan Shao's attack?

"Shi Yuan," thinking of this, Huangfu Chaobo looked at Pang Tong and said, "Although there is a Duke and a gentleman in the army in Wei County, he is too upright, and Yuan Shao's army has many advisers. As the saying goes, one person can plan shortcomings, and two people can plan longings. Therefore, we decided to send Shi Yuan to Wei County to assist Gong Yu in fighting Yuan Shao."

Guo Jia also nodded in agreement: "My lord is wise, and my scholar is good at strategizing. The lord and the gentleman are just right and the other is strange, and they complement each other."

Pang Tong also stepped forward to receive the order: "Don't worry, my lord, Tong will rush to Baima immediately and rush to Yecheng as soon as possible. We will definitely defend the three counties of Hebei for our lord."

"Well, after all the hard work of soldiers, I will transfer another thousand soldiers and a thousand iron eagle warriors to you to escort you across the river to the north. I will leave the war in Hebei to you!"

Pang Tong cupped his fists and accepted the order and left.

Huangfu Chaobo ordered Shi A again: "Shi A, immediately contact the Youzhou Shadow Guards and ask them to contact Gongsun Yue, Gongsun Fan and Yan Gang generals to find out what is going on and the orders. The people of Qingzhou speed up their transfer, and at the same time they order Huang Xu’s generals to step up military preparations in the Longhua areas and be ready to support Gongsun Zan at any time!”

Shi Aying Nuo said, turned around and left in a hurry. He had to rush to Dingtao City overnight to send pigeon messages to the three counties of Hebei and Qingzhou. The two thousand guards in the military camp were also ready and had dinner. After that, he escorted Pang Tong and quietly left the military camp and went north.

While Huangfu Chaobo was making emergency arrangements, Yuan Shao was also making final preparations in Julu City in Jizhou. Huangfu Chaobo did not guess wrong. Yuan Shao had indeed laid a big trap for Gongsunzan this time. Since Zan sent troops to Jizhou, he has stepped into the trap carefully laid for him by Yuan Shao.

In the meeting hall of the Prefect's Mansion, Yuan Shaojun's counselors and generals were all standing out: "Yan Liang, Wen Chou, are all the troops in place?"

After hearing this, the two men quickly stepped out of the queue and replied: "Replying to my lord, all the troops and horses are already in place. When Gongsun Zan's army steps into the ambush circle tomorrow, his 50,000 elite army will never come back." "

Yuan Shaoxu chuckled and said: "My son Gongsun Zan, relying on the tens of thousands of elite cavalry in his hands, does not put a certain family in his eyes. Today, he will never come back."

After saying that, he gave another order: "Okay, tomorrow's battle, the task of resisting the enemy head-on will be handed over to General Ju's vanguard. His Baima Yicong must be annihilated in front of the battle. When most of his cavalry is annihilated, Generals Yan and Wen will lead 20,000 troops to encircle the two wings, and Generals Ma Yan and Han Meng will each lead 10,000 cavalry to clear out the soldiers of Gongsun Zan who broke out of the siege. In the battle tomorrow, Gongsun Zan's 50,000 troops must be annihilated at Jie Bridge. With Shi Yun's 30,000 elite cavalry, let's see what qualifications Gongsun Zan has to show off in front of me!"

"I obey your orders and will annihilate the Youzhou army for you, my lord!" All the generals named by Yuan Shao stood up and ordered, especially Ju Yi, who shouted loudly that he wanted to chop off Gongsun Zan's head and present it to Yuan Shao as a gift. However, he did not get a response from the generals in Yuan's camp.

Ju Yi was a very arrogant person. When he was a subordinate of Han Fu, he did not get along well with his colleagues. After surrendering to Yuan Shao, he regarded himself as a hero and had a very bad relationship with the generals under Yuan Shao. He was even disrespectful in front of Yuan Shao several times. So this time Yuan Shao used his vanguard soldiers to resist the enemy head-on. On the one hand, the crossbowmen were just right to restrain the cavalry, and on the other hand, he wanted the troops under Ju Yi's control to be slightly smaller so that he could better control this unruly general.
