Tian Yu did not relax his vigilance, and ran back and forth on the city tower with a long sword dripping blood, shouting loudly: "Hurry up and don't relax. This may be Yuan Shao's plan." The soldiers on the city tower were exhausted at the moment, and Yuan Shao suddenly withdrew. If another one was killed, these deflated soldiers would definitely not be able to defend, so Tian Yu did not dare to relax.

The Yuan army outside the city was like a tide receding.

Seeing the dense Yuan Jun leaving, Tian Yu was still running around.

Yuan Shao's rear army, an army was coming quickly.

This army was led by Zhang He and Ju Su. After arriving at the battlefield, Zhang He directly ordered his soldiers to launch a charge. The soldiers suddenly attacked and broke through the defense line of Yuan Shao's rear army and headed straight for the central army.

This situation caused chaos in Yuan Shao's army.

Soon, Yuan Shao's army withdrew, but Zhang He did not chase after him and ordered the soldiers to rush to the county town of Pingen County.

The army headed straight to the county town, and Tian Yu soon discovered the arrival of reinforcements.

Seeing that the soldiers outside the city were dressed by Jizhou Army, Tian Yu breathed a long sigh, and the long sword in his hand landed on the ground with a clang. The breath that was holding his heart suddenly disappeared. His legs became weak and he hurriedly pressed the female wall with both hands before he did not fall down. Seeing the army outside the city, Tian Yu's body trembled slightly, his eyes were excited, and he shouted: "Reinforcements are coming!"

In a word, all the soldiers on the city tower began to cheer.

Waiting!

Finally, we waited for reinforcements!

Cheers echoed inside and outside the city.

After being excited, Tian Yu calmed down again. The army outside the city arrived downstairs, and Tian Yu did not rush to open the city gate to greet him. Even though he was sure that the reinforcements outside the city were led by Ju Su and Zhang He, the procedures to go must be left, and the identity of the visitor must be determined. Zhang He and Ju Su were appointed by Wang Lei. Once the two sides checked, the problem was quickly solved.

Zhang He left the army outside the city and entered the city with Ju Su.

When he arrived at the city tower, Zhang He saw the corpses all over the ground and Tian Yu, who was covered in blood, and he couldn't help but nod and praised: "It's worthy of being promoted by the lord, and he has extraordinary abilities. It's not easy for the magistrate of Tian to hold up Yuan Shao's tens of thousands of troops with the strength of a small county town. Zhang He admires it."

Tian Yu said in a humble manner: "General Zhang is too rewarded. If General Zhang comes one hour later, Pingen County will definitely fall."

Ju Su asked, "What will the Magistrate Tian do if the city tower falls into pieces?"

Tian Yu thought briefly and replied firmly: "I was treated as a favor by the Lord's Lord, but I can only die to serve my lord. If the city tower falls, I have to lead my soldiers to retreat into the city, use the streets and alleys of the county town as a cover to continue fighting with Yuan Shao, so as not to allow Yuan Shao to gain a stable foothold in the city."

"Okay, what a Tian Yu!" Ju Shu nodded and said, "The lord's vision is indeed not bad."

Tian Yu was also quite excited after receiving Ju Su's praise.

Ju Su is a great scholar in Jizhou. Whether it is fame or the power in his hands, he is first-class. Being able to make friends with Ju Su is undoubtedly of great benefit to Tian Yu.

Tian Yu changed his tone and asked, "General Zhang, Yuan Shao led the army to attack. How do the general plan to defend?"

The most worrying thing at the moment is that Yuan Shao's army is coming.

Zhang He smiled and said slowly: "Although Yuan Shao has tens of thousands of troops, in my opinion, it is nothing more than a native chicken and tile dog, and it is not worth fear. On the way to Pingen County, I have already dispatched soldiers to defend in Qingyuan County and Guantao County. Now the army remains in Pingen County. The three counties form a triangular formation. No matter which side Yuan Shao attacks, the other two counties can rush to help."

"On the way to Pingen County, I observed that the terrain outside the city was very valuable."

"Five miles away from the city, there are several hillsides."

"These hillsides are adjacent and very close. I have sent soldiers to station on the hillside outside the city. As long as Yuan Shao's army comes again, the soldiers on the hillside can attack condescendingly and cut off the retreat of Yuan Shao's army. The distance between each hillside is only three or five miles, so Yuan Shao will be blocked everywhere."

Zhang He said confidently: "Even, all the terrain is backed by the county town. With the county town supplies, there will be no shortage of food and water cut off; with the support of my army, there will be no isolated and no worries."

Tian Yu couldn't help but exclaim and said, "General Zhang easily relied on the terrain of Pingen County to build fortifications, and also used Pingen County, Guantao County and Qingyuan County to form a defense line. It is admirable. Please rest assured that Pingen County must prepare enough food and equipment to ensure the army's logistics."

"I'm sorry to the magistrate of Tian County!"

Zhang He bowed slightly to express his gratitude. The corpses on the city tower and outside the city tower were cleaned up by soldiers. After talking to Tian Yu, Zhang He and Tian Yu left the county town and set up camp outside the city.

After Yuan Shao retreated, his army camped fifteen miles outside the city.

In the military camp, Yuan Shao sat in the big tent with a gloomy face.

The duck that got flew away, Yuan Shao's mood was imaginable. Yuan Shao slapped the table on the desk and roared angrily: "Zhang He led his army to kill and stop me from doing good things. I will definitely capture this person alive and let him die without a burial place. Mobilize the army and prepare to attack Pingen County again... Humph, Zhang He was also surrounded by Pingen County, and he would not leave when he came."

Xu You followed Yuan Shao's words and said, "The lord's words are reasonable. Zhang He took the initiative to enter the encirclement of Pingen County and came to die. The lord should be happy. Taking down a small Pingen County is insignificant to the overall situation of our capture of Jizhou, but if Zhang He defeated Zhang He, he would be smooth all the way to Ye County and would definitely be able to go straight to Wang Lei's nest."

Guo Tu also echoed: "It can be said that Zhang He led his troops to kill him. The soldiers in Pingen County were crippled by us, leaving only Zhang He's army. It is not difficult to solve Zhang He!"

Yuan Shao's anger dissipated and his mood gradually calmed down. He glanced at him and shouted in a deep voice: "Zhang He's army is stationed outside Ping'en County. Who has the courage to lead troops to wipe out him?"

"I'm willing to go!"

Lu Kuang stood up and took the initiative to ask for the fight.

He was captured by Wang Lei in Nanpi County before. Although Yuan Shao was not punished, Lu Kuang felt humiliated in his heart and always wanted to avenge him. Lu Kuang stood up, and Lu Xiang also stood up and took the initiative to say, "Lord, I am willing to lead the troops!"

Gao Lan clasped his fists and said, "Lord, I wish you the last one!"

Wen Chou clasped his fists and said, "Lord, I will be willing to be the pioneer."

The generals stood up and asked for battle.

Yuan Shao stared at the two brothers Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang and ordered: "Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang!"

"The last one will be here!"

The two brothers stood up and clasped their fists with excitement.

Yuan Shao ordered: "You two will lead three thousand vanguards and attack Zhang He immediately."

"As for the order!" The two of them responded with fists.

“Gaopian!”

"The last one will be here!"

"You lead an army of 10,000 closely behind, be sure to take down Zhang He and Ju Su. In this battle, you can only win, not lose!" Yuan Shao's eyes were sharp, and Gao Lan was also full of fighting spirit.

Gao Lan looked serious and said with a fist: "Don't worry, lord, lord will definitely live up to his lord's respect."
