Wang Lei and Zhang He led their army to leave Pingen County and rushed to Qinghe Country. As soon as they entered Beiqiu County, Qinghe Country, the county magistrate of Beiqiu County, appeared at the border with officials of all sizes and sizes, and personally welcomed Wang Lei.

All officials of Beiqiu County surrendered.

Speaking of which, this is not the first time Wang Lei's army has entered Beiqiu County.

In the past, when Yuan Shao joined forces with Gongsun Zan, Wuhuan and the Yellow Turban thieves to attack Jizhou, the Qinghe Kingdom was occupied by Yuan Shao. Wang Lei led his army to eliminate the rebellion, and his army had once entered the Qinghe Kingdom and captured Beiqiu County.

Now that I am visiting Beiqiu County again, I feel different.

Wang Lei took the county magistrate of Beiqiu County and continued to go north. When he arrived at the county town of Beiqiu County, Wang Lei looked at the county magistrate of Beiqiu County and ordered: "After returning to the county town, issue a notice to attack Yuan Shao. The most important thing is that you must count Yuan Shao's evil deeds in detail. I am waiting for your good news."

The county magistrate looked humble and said, "Don't worry, the subordinates will definitely complete it."

Since he surrendered to Wang Lei, the county magistrate naturally would not refuse and agreed directly.

The army took a short rest and continued to go north.

The next location is Ganling County, the capital of Qinghe Kingdom.

Wang Lei led his army to the county town of Ganling County, and the county magistrate also brought officials of all sizes to greet him. At the same time, Yuan Shao arranged the heads of the officials of Ganling County to deliver them to Wang Lei. In addition, all the food reserved by Ganling County was handed over to Wang Lei. Wang Lei happily accepted such a great gift, and he couldn't help but feel relieved.

Fighting like this is really interesting.

Wang Lei accepted the surrender of Ganling County's magistrate and also issued an order to ask Ganling County's magistrate to write a notice to attack Yuan Shao, informing the people of Ganling County, and also count Yuan Shao's evil deeds.

After doing all this, Wang Lei led his soldiers to continue north.

Lingxian and Zhengxian were not on Wang Lei's route to the north. Wang Lei accepted the surrender of the magistrates of the two counties and issued the same order, which was to let the magistrates of the two counties issue Yuan Shao's documents. When Wang Lei's army approached Dongwucheng County, the documents of the four counties of Beiqiu, Ganling, Lingxian and Zhengxian were spread throughout the Qinghe Kingdom.

In Dongwucheng County, the army led by Gao Lan and Wen Chou was stationed.

Last year, Gao Lan received Yuan Shao's order and led a large army to attack Zhang He. At that time, Gao Lan led his army to launch consecutive attacks, and fought with Zhang He several times, but he could not break Zhang He's defense.

In desperation, Gao Lan withdrew from Qinghe Kingdom and built fortifications in Dongwucheng County.

In the big tent, Gao Lan and Wen Chou sat opposite each other.

On the desk in front of Gao Lan, there were four documents, namely the documents of the Beiqiu County Magistrate to attack Yuan Shao, the Ganling County Magistrate to attack Yuan Shao, and the Ling County Magistrate and the Shan County Magistrate to attack Yuan Shao. The documents of the four counties to attack Yuan Shao were all the best to promote Yuan Shao's evil deeds and make Yuan Shao extremely unforgivable.

After reading it, Gao Lan couldn't help but have a headache.

Wen Chou looked cold and said in a deep voice: "General Gao, it is really hateful that Wang Lei takes such a shameless strategy. The reputation of the lord is damaged, so we cannot sit idly by. I suggest taking the initiative to take the lead and take down Wang Lei."

Gao Lan said: "General Wen, Wang Lei has Dian Wei, Lu Bu, Huang Zhong and others under his tent. Can he win?"

Wen Chou's mouth twitched, his eyes full of helplessness.

None of the people mentioned by Gao Lan has the chance of winning at all.

Gao Lan's eyes were solemn and said, "In the current situation, we can only adopt a defensive strategy. After retreating to Dongwucheng County last year, I built fortifications around me for today. This battle cannot be missed. Defensive first and then wait for an opportunity to find an opportunity."

Wen Chou nodded and agreed with Gao Lan's suggestion.

Immediately, Wen Chou asked: "How to deal with the documents of the county magistrates of the four counties in the fight against the lord?"

Gao Lan said: "Just pretend I didn't see it!"

Wen Chou's lips twitched, he smiled, no longer entangled in the topic of challenging Yuan Wenshu. After a change of the subject, he asked, "I heard that the lord has recruited a large number of soldiers and is leading his army to come. He is planning to fight to the death with Wang Lei?"

Gao Lan said: "The lord is indeed ready to fight with Wang Lei, and Dongwucheng County is the place for the decisive battle. That's why we should take more defense and wait for the lord to arrive, and we cannot be led by Wang Lei."

"Report!"

A soldier came in and reported: "General, Wang Lei sent someone to send a letter of surrender."

As he spoke, the soldier presented the letter.

Gao Lan didn't even look at it, and ordered: "Take it out and burn it in front of the soldiers in the army."

"promise!"

The soldiers withdrew from the camp, Gao Lan's expression became more and more serious. Before Wang Lei's army arrived, the forcing momentum had already arrived.

...

In Guangchuan County, the army led by Yuan Shao temporarily stopped and rested. In this decisive battle, Yuan Shao recruited all the troops he could recruit, recruiting a total of 40,000 troops. However, these soldiers were not trained, most of them were recruited new recruits.

Yuan Shao was roaring loudly in the central army's tent.

Xu You sat quietly below without saying a word.

The county magistrates of Beiqiu County, Ganling County, Ling County and Zheng County counted Yuan Shao's evil deeds and issued notices to attack Yuan Shao, which made Yuan Shao angry. The small county magistrate dared to insult him, which was simply a courageous person. However, when Yuan Shao encountered such a thing, he was powerless to fight back.

It is not possible to punish the county magistrates of the four counties for the time being, unless they defeat Wang Lei.

Everything happened back to Wang Lei.

Yuan Shao walked back and forth in the camp with his hands on his back. After a long time, he said in a deep voice: "In this battle, I will definitely defeat Wang Lei, and then arrest the county magistrates of the four counties, and slim them to survive and die."

Xu You then spoke: "The lord is right, these people should be killed. However, as the lord said, the first thing to do is to defeat Wang Lei."

Yuan Shao suddenly worried about gains and losses, and said worriedly: "Ziyuan, Beiqiu, Ganning, Lingxian and Zhengxian County surrendered to Wang Lei quietly. What do you think will be like in Dongwucheng County?"

Xu You said confidently: "Gao Lan led his army to station in Dongwucheng County, there is no problem."

Yuan Shao asked again: "How much chance do you think of this battle will win?"

Xu You couldn't answer this question. He thought for a while and asked, "I dare to ask my lord, what should I do if I have 30% chance of winning? What should I do if I have 50% chance of winning? How should I decide if I have 80% chance of winning?"

Xu You was meticulous and saw the worries in Yuan Shao. In such a situation, Xu You must strengthen Yuan Shao's confidence in the decisive battle and help Yuan Shao build confidence.

Yuan Shao was not stupid. After hearing Xu You's words, he understood and said, "Yes, with my situation and Wang Lei, there is no possibility of reconciliation. 30% chance of winning will lead to a fight; 50% chance of winning will lead to a fight... No matter what, it will be a battle."

Gradually, Yuan Shao had the determination to fight to the death again.

Xu You sighed in his heart. He felt very difficult to fight in this battle, but he had to fight no matter what.
Chapter completed!
