The Supreme Call of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 171
Liu Xiao gave an order to encircle Yangping County on all sides. Teams of Qingzhou soldiers cruised back and forth, showing off their might to Yuan Jun in Yangping County, but they did not launch an attack.

Yuan Jun had already reported the situation of Qingzhou Army to Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao was taken aback when he heard the words, his heart suddenly became flustered, what the hell?The Qingzhou Army just surrounded Yangping County, and then surrounded it without fighting. What's wrong with it?Do you want to waste yourself?Although Jizhou has lost three counties now, the rest of the counties are still in his own hands, especially Wei County and Hejian County, both of which are high-class counties with a large population and abundant food and grass. To waste yourself to the end?
Hey, just what I want!
Yuan Shao came to his senses, and laughed loudly: "Zhengnan, Gongze, look at Liu Xiao's virtue, he actually wants to compete with us for consumption! A skinny camel is bigger than a horse, even if I, Yuan Shao, lose more than I He, Liu Xiao, has money! It's a waste of money, thanks to him, Liu Xiao can figure it out!"

Shen Pei said in a deep voice: "Lord, we must not be careless. Now the Qingzhou Army is surrounded on all sides and has cut off our connection with Yecheng, Wei County. Once our grain and grass cannot be transported up to Yangping County, we will only rely on the food in the city. But it can’t last long…”

Yuan Shao smiled and said: "Zhengnan, I am not Gongsun Zan. Back then, Gongsun Zan only knew how to defend Yi Jing and removed all the defenses outside. Naturally, passive defense can only be defeated in my hands. However, now we have help outside. Well, Yuan Shang is now in charge of Yecheng, Yuan Tan and Gao Gan are in Bingzhou, and Yuan Xi is in Youzhou. Moreover, they are constantly recruiting soldiers. Even our food routes have been handed over to the invincible Lu Bu. For one and a half months, at most In a month and a half, reinforcements from Bingzhou and Youzhou will continue to arrive in Yangping County. At that time, it will be the decisive battle between us and Liu Xiao. Liu Xiao can only have an army of [-] people. Even if we are exhausted, I will exhaust him to death!"

Although Yuan Shao is not as talented and general as Cao Cao, he is not a real idiot either. Naturally, Yuan Shao will not be unprepared for the mighty Liu Xiao. Although he disagrees with Tian Feng and Jushou's opinions, he is not without any Strategy.

Set up a defensive position first, defend Yangping County, and buy time for the arrival of reinforcements from Bingzhou and Youzhou. After all, although Yuan Jun’s vitality is seriously injured, there are still some elites in Youzhou and Bingzhou. With more elite strength, there won't be any problem.

What's more, now that Lv Bu is leading an elite group outside, he can restrain the energy of Liu Xiao's army at any time. Even if Liu Xiao attacks the city, he will not be able to concentrate all his strength to defend Yangping County, which is no problem at all.

The situation was also developing towards what Yuan Shao and the judge had envisioned. Lu Bu had 6000 elite soldiers in his hands, and another [-] infantry were transferred from Yecheng, adding up to [-] people, threatening Liu Xiao's camp at any time.

Confrontation, what Yuan Shao is most afraid of is confrontation. With Jizhou's strong strength, he can definitely overcome Liu Xiao. Compared with consumption, Qingzhou will definitely not be able to consume Jizhou.

Even now, Lu Bu has already escorted the first batch of food and grass to Yangping County.

But, will Liu Xiao let the situation develop according to the direction Yuan Shao and the trial and match agreed?
That is absolutely impossible!

Liu Xiao only left [-] troops to besiege Yangping County, and harassed the defenders of Yangping County day and night, making Yuan Jun restless for a moment and tired of coping.

Liu Xiao's real goal was to lock on Lu Bu who was escorting the grain and grass, so let Lu Bu lie down first.

"Emissary,"

Mu Guiying at the side came over and said in a low voice, "Actually, annihilating Lu Bu in Wei County or Yangping County is not the best strategy..."

Liu Xiao was about to lead the army with Gao Chong to intercept Lu Bu, when he heard Mu Guiying's words, he was taken aback.

"What's the meaning of Ma'am's words?"

Mu Guiying said in a low voice: "Now that Cao Cao has retreated and entered Yanzhou, we have received information that Cao Cao intends to use us to fight Yuan Shao, send troops to merge the state, and take the state into his pocket in one fell swoop. Now Yuan Shao is trying his best to deal with us. Once Cao Cao really marched into Bingzhou, which is definitely not a good thing for us. Yuan Shao's main force is all concentrated in Weijun and Yangping County, and Bingzhou is empty. How can we stop Cao Cao's elite army? In my opinion, it is better to Drive tigers and devour wolves!"

Liu Xiao's spirit was shaken, and he said in a deep voice, "You mean to persuade Lu Bu to lead his army into Bingzhou to stand on its own and prevent Cao Cao from advancing?"

Mu Guiying nodded and said, "That's exactly what I mean!"

"Hahaha……"

Liu Xiao laughed and said, "Good idea, good idea, Madam is worthy of being my virtuous wife, a hero among women! When I fight Lu Bu personally in the future, as long as Lu Bu sees that he withdraws into Bingzhou, then Yuan Shao will really die without burial. landed!"

Mu Guiying said with a smile: "It's not that Yuan Shao will die without a place to bury him, but that Cao Cao's tricks will not succeed. As long as Lu Bu enters Bingzhou, Gao Gan and Yuan Tan will definitely not be Lu Bu's opponents. Don't forget that Lu Bu was born in Bingzhou cavalry , in Bingzhou's prestige is very high, under Yuan Shao's repeated battles and defeats, all it takes is for Lu Bu to ascend to the top, and Bingzhou will join forces and attach themselves to Lu Bu. At that time, even if Cao Cao personally sends troops to Bingzhou, he may not be able to win Lv Bu!"

Although Mu Guiying is a girl, but this kind of vision is really vicious. Let Lu Bu stand in Bingzhou. On the one hand, Yuan Shao's strength is greatly reduced, and he is really going to collapse. On the other hand, he has found a strong opponent with Cao Cao , so that Cao Cao could not concentrate on dealing with Qingzhou next.

Liu Xiao shouted in a deep voice: "Ma'am, you and Junyi Dianwei stayed in Yangping County to watch over Yuan Shao, and Gao Chong and I went to deal with Lu Bu, heh heh, it's fine if he listens to persuasion, if he doesn't listen to persuasion, then he can't say , Gao Chong and I join forces to besiege and take his life! Gao Chong, assemble three thousand fine cavalry and five thousand infantry, and march west with me to meet Lu Bu!"

Liu Xiao threw Yuan Shao aside, and headed west with Gao Chong to meet Lu Bu.

At this time, Lu Bu and Chen Gong led [-] troops and escorted [-] stones of food and grass, and rushed all the way to Yangping County. Now they were less than fifty miles away from Yangping County.

In just one night, in the early morning of the next day, Liu Xiao's army collided head-on with Lu Bu's army!

Liu Xiao took the lead, holding a five-hook god flying silver spear, came to the front of Lu Bu's army, and shouted loudly: "You listen to the truth and pass it on to Lu Fengxian. Liu Xiao is waiting here, let him come out and see him!"

Lu Bu had already received the news from behind, and urged Chituma and Chen Gong to come to the front of the formation.

"Liu Xiao, you dare to come to see me alone? Are you afraid that I will kill you with a halberd?"

Lu Bu shouted sharply.

Liu Xiao laughed and said: "Haha, Fengxian, stop talking nonsense. You should know that even Wen Chou died under my gun. With your ability, even if it takes one or two hundred rounds, you may not be able to win." If you beat me and marry me with a halberd, that's a toad yawning, what a big tone!"
