Zang Ba received an order from the military headquarters and corps to lead the infantry division towards Hanoi and capture the Hanoi area in one fell swoop.

Zang Ba is so excited!

Since surrendering to the Xiakou Army, he has been studying in the academy, and even Xu Huang's regiment sent troops to Hedong but failed to catch up.

Now that I have a military mission, I am extremely excited and want to prove my excellence with a victory.

Of course, the grassroots officers and soldiers in the infantry division are basically selected from the county soldiers in the Xiakou area.

The soldiers and horses under Zang Ba's previous command were looked down upon by the military at all, they were just a bunch of rabble.

He took over the infantry division under his command, and several of his subordinates, Sun Guan, Yin Li, and Wu Dun, served as regimental commanders respectively to form a standard infantry division.

After taking over, Zang Ba discovered that this was the real elite division, and the previous soldiers and horses were pure rubbish.

Boom!

The infantry division reached Sishui Pass. With the cooperation of the naval division, 15,000 soldiers of the Xiakou Army safely crossed the Yellow River.

Head towards Huaicheng and kill them.

In order to cooperate with Master Zang's attack, Xu Huang asked Wei Yan to lead 10,000 cavalry out of Jiguan and rush towards Huaicheng.

Ten thousand cavalry and thirty thousand infantry were left to garrison the Hedong area to keep an eye on Lu Bu's army in Bingzhou and ensure the safety of the Hedong area.

In order to attract firepower and attract the attention of Yuan Shao's army and prevent it from adding troops to the Hanoi area, the Gao Shun Corps was supported by the navy.

In Guandu, the two docks of Baima staged a feint attack, holding Yuan Shao's army back from moving, allowing Zang Ba to successfully capture Huaicheng.

Yuan Shao's official residence in Yecheng:

"Report!"

Guard Road.

"Come in!"

Yuan Shaodao.

"Reporting to my lord, the Xiakou Army at Guandu and Baima piers are showing signs of attack and are preparing to transport a large number of Xiakou Army soldiers across the Yellow River by boat."

Guard Road.

oh!

What!

The Xiakou Army is about to attack!

Didn’t the Battle of Qingzhou just end?

For a moment, Yuan Shao's advisers were speechless. The actions of Xiakou's army were completely unexpected.

"My lord, the Xiakou Army has just captured the Qingzhou area and needs time to digest. According to the habits of the Xiakou Army,

To build a new territory, the first step is to digest it and make it become a real strength without any further delay.

The current way of fighting is a bit wrong."

Xu Youdao.

"My lord, at Guandu, south of the Yellow River, at the two wharves of Baima, there are troops and horses under the command of General Gao Shun of the Xiakou Army.

He did not participate in the Qingzhou Campaign and has been resting. We are currently unclear about Gao Shun's combat intentions.

It is recommended that the soldiers on the other side of Guandu and Baima should be strictly guarded and should not be dispatched easily. They must guard the camp to avoid being attacked by the Xiakou army."

Guo Tudao.

"Report!"

Send orders to soldiers.

"Reporting to my lord, Wang Kuang sent a letter asking for help, saying that Zang Ba had crossed the Yellow River and was heading towards Huaicheng to kill him.

In addition, Wei Yan from Jiguan also led 10,000 cavalry out of Jiguan, rushed towards Huaicheng, and asked the lord to send troops for reinforcements."

Send orders to soldiers.

"My lord, Wang Kuang agreed to form an alliance with my lord to jointly resist Qin Qi in Xiakou. Now that Governor Wang Kuang is in trouble, we have to save him. Otherwise, no one will form an alliance with my lord in the future."

Chen Lin said.

Yuan Shao is angry!

This Chen Lin, if you don't open the pot and pick up the pot, won't this be a disgrace to me?

"Mr. Kong Zhang, the soldiers we have just recruited are all new recruits and must be trained before they can become an army.

What should we use for reinforcements? Once we get reinforcements, what will we do if the Gao Shun Corps really attacks?"

Judge the way.

Liu Biao fled to Yuan Shao's tent with thousands of troops and horses. Yuan Shao had indeed planned to send troops to reinforce Wang Kuang.

But what?

I just heard that Gao Shun's army was going to cross the river to attack, which suddenly disrupted Yuan Shao's plan to send troops to reinforce Wang Kuang.

A dead Taoist friend is worse than a dead Taoist friend.

"My lord, Gao Shun's regiment must be feigning an attack. There is nothing wrong with that. The problem is that we send troops to reinforce Wang Kuang.

It is possible that a feigned attack may turn into a forceful attack. Therefore, the soldiers and horses stationed there must not move around. If they move, it will involve a wide area."

Xu Youdao.

"Xuande, what do you think?"

Yuan Shaodao.

Liu Bei felt depressed.

How to answer this? I can't say that I can't send troops. It's not in line with my wishes. Should I send troops? I'm sure I'll be in conflict with Yuan Shao's advisers. It's hard to answer!

"Mr. Ben Chu, I think we should rescue him. This is a matter of great justice. If we don't rescue him, Ben Chu will break his trust and no one will seek refuge in him again in the future."

Liu Bei said.

"I have two nominal brothers under my command. As long as Lord Benchu ​​sends some troops, we will definitely be able to relieve Lord Benchu's worries and repel the Xiakou army that invaded the Hanoi area."

Liu Bei said.

Yuan Shao felt a little stirred in his heart.

"My lord, you can't! What wars have the three Liu Xuande brothers fought? They only heard that they were constantly defeated. If the military power is handed over to Liu Xuande,

It will only lose troops and generals, and it is impossible to defeat General Wei Yan and General Zang Ba who are attacking the Hanoi area."

Guo Tudao.

Liu Bei is anxious!

Want to gain military power from Yuan Shao as soon as possible.

But what?

Yuan Shao was indecisive, but with so many advisers under his command, no one could tell what Liu Bei was thinking.

Gongsun Zan didn't have any great advisers, so he couldn't see clearly Liu Bei's disguise, so it was easy to deceive his troops.

Yuan Shao is different. None of his eight great counselors are mentally retarded. They are all the top beings of this era.

Liu Bei's little thoughts can be seen through at a glance.

The eight advisers under Yuan Shao's account really looked down on Liu Bei, especially because Liu Bei was half-hearted and only wanted to gain benefits and take advantage.

Think about it, Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan were classmates. Yuan Shao went to war with Gongsun Zan and immediately left with his two brothers, defrauding thousands of soldiers and horses along the way.

He turned to Liu Biao, but Liu Biao was not fooled, so he defected to Tao Qian, gained control of Pengcheng, and was wiped out in a battle with Lu Su.

Join Lao Cao again...

"My lord, what Mr. Gongze said is correct. Military power cannot be handed over to outsiders, otherwise it will become a disaster."

Xu Youdao.

"At the beginning, I can't protect myself, why should I consider Wang Kuang? He just reached an alliance agreement with you and is not your subordinate.

What does Wang Kuang's life and death have to do with us? It's better to step up the encirclement and suppression of Gongsun Zan and take advantage of the fact that Qin Qi has just captured Qingzhou.

We can't delay it any longer. Once Qin Qi sends troops to Jizhou, Gongsun Zan will not be able to capture it."

Yuan Shudao.

The conflict between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan is impossible to reconcile.

"But Wang Kuang has just formed an alliance with us. If we don't send troops to rescue, it will be really difficult to deal with the situation. Gongsun Zan will definitely speed up the eradication.

Now a hundred thousand troops are rushing towards Youbeiping. Once the encirclement is completed, Gongsun Zan will be unable to fly."

Yuan Shaodao.

"Lord, be careful of the Zhao Yun Corps in the Liaodong area. Once Zhao Yun's Corps is dispatched, it will be difficult for us to capture Gongsun Zan."
