Qinghe Kingdom, Jizhou Army Barracks.

In the central army's tent, Wang Lei sat directly above, his eyes fell on Shen Pei, and his expression was calm.

Shen Pei said with a serious expression and righteousness: "Lord, it has been a few days since he defeated Yuan Shao. In the past few days, Yuan Shao has consolidated the defense of the camp and the morale of the army has gradually recovered. If he attacked Yuan's camp forcing him, it would take some effort. After a while, the attack will be even more difficult. It is better to attack Yuan Shao's camp sooner rather than later. Please send troops as soon as possible."

Including this time, Shen Pei has been admonishing for the third time.

Wang Lei couldn't denounce this. After all, Shen Pei was for the foundation of Jizhou. Wang Lei smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Shen, the plan is already in progress. Soon, there will be results."

Shen Pei returned to the seat with anger and said helplessly: "My lord says this every time!" The strategy could not be unified, and Wang Lei stubbornly refused to adopt a strong attack strategy, Shen Pei could only sigh.

Tian Feng looked calm and said, "Lord, Xu You has surrendered, why not let Xu You join forces with the people from Yuan Jun camp? Wouldn't it be better if they raise an army to take Yuan Shao?"

Jia Xu took the initiative to answer: "Changshi Tian, ​​what you said is already underway."

Tian Feng nodded and stopped talking.

"Report!"

The report rang outside the big tent.

A scout quickly walked in, knelt on one knee, and reported: "Sir, General Taishi has reported the war."

As he spoke, the scout took out the bamboo slips from the bamboo tube on his back and handed them to the soldiers.

Wang Lei took it from the soldiers, looked it over, and immediately laughed, saying, "The news came from Taishi Ci that Gao-gan had been killed, and all tens of thousands of Yuan troops stationed in Xindu County were defeated. In this battle, Taishi Ci captured tens of thousands of Yuan troops and won a great victory. Now, Taishi Ci has led his troops eastward and headed straight to Bohai County."

"Okay, Taishici did a pretty job."

Dian Wei waved his fist in the air, and an expression of excitement appeared in his eyes.

Zhang He nodded and said, "Lord, General Taishi has won. Then, it is time for us to take action along the way. The time is ripe and we can't delay any more."

Wang Lei nodded and nodded and ordered: "The plan for this battle is so detailed... With Yuan Shao's desire to win, it is impossible to resist the temptation. Furthermore, with Xu You as an insider, this battle will definitely be won."

"The lord is wise!"

After listening to the complete plan, Shen Pei couldn't help but sigh.

Compared with the strategy of taking strong attacks, the difficulty of attracting snakes out of the hole is indeed smaller. The losses of the army can also be greatly reduced.

After orders, everyone performed their duties and began to implement the plan.

...

Yuan Jun camp, big camp.

On this day, Gao Lan had a headache again. The reason was that the news of Gao-gan's defeat and killed was reported in the camp. Wang Lei did not send troops to attack for several consecutive days, so Gao Lan was able to seize the opportunity, take the opportunity to rectify the soldiers, and stabilize the situation.

Unexpectedly, just a few days later, the high-ranking officials were defeated and killed.

This situation was a bolt from the blue for Yuan Jun.

Gao Lan did not dare to delay time and quickly went to the central army tent. After seeing Yuan Shao, Gao Lan said worriedly: "Lord, something is not good. There is news that Gao-gan from Xindu County was defeated and killed. Now, the soldiers in the camp are in panic. The stable situation has loosened again. Many soldiers actually secretly left the barracks."

"idiot!"

Yuan Shao whispered, his eyes cold.

Yuan Shao had no doubt about the news of Gao-gan's defeat.

Gao Lan said: "Master, will the news be fake? Is it Wang Lei deliberately spread the news?"

Yuan Shao said in a deep voice: "There must be a reason for Wang Lei not sending troops for several days. I expected that it was to wait for Gao Gan's news. With the means of Taishi Cilian defeating Tangyang County and Fuliu County, Gao Gan probably was defeated. When this news came out, the army was in turmoil. Wang Lei sent troops to attack again, that would be amazing."

Gao Lan took a deep breath and asked, "Master, what should I do now?"

Yuan Shao said: "Come here, please Xu You!"

The soldiers went to pass the order, and soon Xu You hurried to the tent.

Yuan Shao told him about Gao-gan's defeat and killed, and Xu You shook his head in his heart. This high-ranking official was indeed vulnerable and was killed so quickly. Yuan Shao said: "Xu You, Gao-gan was killed, and it is meaningless for us to stick to Dongwucheng County. This prefect plans to withdraw his troops. What suggestions do you have?"

As soon as these words came out, Gao Lan was overjoyed.

After his defeat, Gao Lan did not intend to continue to garrison, but Yuan Shao did not order the withdrawal of troops.

Xu You shook his head and said, "Lord, if Wang Lei wants to separate himself from him, he will not be able to hide. The lord will be attacked by Wang Lei in Dongwucheng County. Will Wang Lei stop attacking when he returns to Bohai County? And, once the lord retreats, will it be even more obvious that he has lost to Wang Lei? At that time, the only two counties left in Qinghe Country will probably surrender."

Immediately, Xu You said: "What else is that the county magistrates of Bohai County will also be in a state of mind. Instead of doing this, it is better to take measures to resist Wang Lei to the end."

Gao Lan frowned and asked, "Mr. Xu, do you have any suggestions?"

Yuan Shao also said: "Yes, we must take measures to defeat Wang Lei."

Although Yuan Shao had no hope of defeating Wang Lei, he was still unwilling to accept it in his subconscious mind.

Xu You thought about it and said that if Yuan Shao withdrew from Bohai County, it would definitely increase difficulties for Wang Lei to wipe out Yuan Shao. Furthermore, since Xu You had surrendered to Wang Lei, he could not just do nothing and have to make contributions.

After changing his mind, Xu You had a certain plan in his mind.

Xu You smiled and said, "Lord, our troops are too exhausted, and it is impossible to fight a decisive battle with Wang Lei. Therefore, only by winning by surprise can we have the opportunity to turn the situation around. A soldier was sent out to investigate where Wang Lei's food was hoarded? As long as Wang Lei's location was found, he would attack in one fell swoop, and he would definitely win."

Yuan Shao smiled and said, "This plan is very wonderful. It's just that Wang Lei's place to store grain is probably not easy to find. Even if he finds it, there will probably be heavy troops to guard it and it will be difficult to win."

Xu You said: "Lord, no matter how difficult it is, you have to give it a try. Could it be that the lord is willing to withdraw to Bohai County and be willing to lose to Wang Lei?"

When Yuan Shao heard this, he clenched his fists.

Although he was defeated, Yuan Shao still had a glimmer of hope in his heart.

Yuan Shao asked: "Ziyuan, how is the progress of finding Wang Lei's grain location?"

Xu You looked solemn and replied: "There are already clues, and it is estimated that there will be news in the next or two days."

"very good!"

Yuan Shao flicked his sleeves and ordered: "Gao Lan, do your best to stabilize the morale of the army. Wait for another day or two, as long as we find out where Wang Lei's military rations are stored, we will have a chance. At that time, if Wang Lei has no food, he will definitely lose."

"promise!"

Gao Lan nodded, but his expression was not optimistic.
Chapter completed!
