The opening of the Three Kingdoms is Gatling

He was not allowed to be reused by Yuan Tan before, and it was entirely because of his brother Xin Ping that he was able to stay in Yuan Tan's army.

He has always been depressed, but when he heard Hua Xiong's words today, he felt as if he had met a confidant in his life.

"I hope you can use your ingenuity here with me."

Hua Xiong smiled and encouraged.

"Subordinates must do their best to die!"

Simpi said seriously.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for subduing the counselor Simpi and gaining [-] prestige points!"

Seeing Hua Xiong accepting Xinpi, all the generals congratulated in unison.

At this moment, Jiang Wei suddenly remembered something and said curiously,

"Teacher, what were you laughing at just now?"

"We are laughing. Yuan Shang delayed the autumn harvest in order to attack Yuan Tan."

Guo Jia laughed and told Jiang Wei what happened in Yecheng.

After Jiang Wei heard this, he also burst out laughing.

Deng Ai said thoughtfully,

"My lord, even if Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang join forces, there is no need for us to retreat."

Jiang Wei was startled, thought for a while, and nodded in agreement,

"Yes. If we don't retreat, then Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan will join forces to attack us.

This is a godsend.

If Yuan Shang has been hiding in Yecheng, it will be difficult for us. "

Everyone nodded slightly, somewhat agreeing with the two of them.

Hua Xiong smiled slightly,

"I don't agree with you."

Everyone was slightly taken aback.

"What's your opinion, my lord?"

Guo Jia said suspiciously.

Chapter 3 Brothers Fighting

"What do you think, if our army faces the coalition forces of the Yuan Shang brothers, what are the odds of winning?"

Hua Xiong asked.

Guo Jia thought for a while, then said softly,

"Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan have a combined force of about 17.

Although the number of our troops is smaller than theirs, they are all elite soldiers, and their strength is not inferior to them.

If there is a fight, it's hard to say who will win. "

Jia Xu smiled and shook her head,

"Feng Xiao is still too conservative. With the strength of the army under the command of the two Yuan brothers, even if they are given another 3 horses, they will definitely not be our army's opponent."

Others also nodded in agreement.

After all, the army under Hua Xiong's command is an elite that has gone through thousands of tempers and has withstood the baptism of war. It can be called the tiger and wolf army

Jizhou's elite army had already been wiped out by the time of Guandu.

The strength of the soldiers left in the hands of Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan is not worth mentioning at all.

"What you said is not wrong at all. If there is a real fight, I am [-]% sure that I can defeat the Yuan family brothers."

Everyone couldn't help showing joy on their faces.

It is very rare to be [-]% sure on the battlefield, let alone [-]%, it is almost a certainty!

"but!"

Hua Xiong changed the subject and said seriously,

"Even if you win, you have to pay a big price.

After all, that is an army of 17! "

"My lord, kindness does not command soldiers. There is no one who is undead in a war. I think it is still possible to attack frontally."

Gan Ning said.

All eyes were on Hua Xiong, waiting for his decision.

However, Hua Xiong shook his head again.

"My lord, why not?" Xu Huang was a little impatient, "If the two of them are taken down, the north will be completely settled down. No matter how much you pay, it will be worth it."

"Yes, I support Xingba and Gongming."

"My lord, the two of them must fight."

Everyone spoke up one after another, expressing their approval to Gan Ning and Xu Huang.

As long as Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan can be eliminated, the remaining high officials and others can also be eliminated easily.

At that time, the north will fall into Hua Xiong's hands again, and the imperial court's plate will be doubled again!

The most important thing is that Hua Xiong no longer needs to spend a huge amount of troops to defend the north, and can free up his hands to deal with the princes in the south.

Facing everyone's dissatisfaction and doubts, Hua Xiong burst out laughing,

"Who told you that I don't intend to deal with them?"

"What does my lord mean?"

Hua Xiong said slowly, "The alliance between the brothers Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan is extremely fragile.

As long as our troops retreat, they will fight immediately, and we can sit back and watch the tigers fight.

Wouldn't it be nice for us to clean up the battlefield when they're almost done fighting? "

Hua Xiong's words made everyone's eyes shine.

Yes, if you do this, you can not only reduce your own casualties, but also easily take the north, why not do it?

"My lord, what if the two brothers settle their suspicions and join forces?"

Li Ru asked.

"You can rest assured that although Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan are brothers, their relationship is extremely bad and they will definitely fight."

Simpi laughed.

"That's right, and don't forget. The grain in Liyang was burned, and the grain around Yecheng was harvested.

Even if the two of them don't fight, they will have a food shortage in a few days. "

Hua Xiong smiled lightly,

"So what do you think of my proposal?"

"My lord's proposal, I agree with both hands!"

"Let them dog eat dog first, and wait for them to lose both, and then we will kill them!"

Everyone responded one after another, expressing their support for Hua Xiong's proposal.

"Then it's decided, retreat now."

In the end, Hua Xiong made the final decision.

The mighty army quickly set off, and followed the direction it came from, from the chain bridge above the Yellow River, back to the south bank smoothly.

After all the troops had withdrawn, Hua Xiong ordered the soldiers of the engineering team to dismantle the chain bridge again.

……

"Are you sure Hua Xiong's army has all retreated to the south bank?"

Yuan Shang stared at the spy in front of him and said in a deep voice.

"Report to my lord, this matter is absolutely true!"

The spy said respectfully.

"Understood, let's go down."

Yuan Shang waved his hand.

After the spies went down, Jianpei and Fengji came forward.

"My lord, the news from these waves of spies is the same. It seems that Hua Xiong really retreated."

Fengji said softly.

Yuan Shang nodded and asked,

"Where's my elder brother?"

"Reporting to my lord, after Liyang City was burned down, he has already led an army of [-] troops and stationed outside Ye City.

However, in the past few days, he has sent people over many times to ask for military rations. "

The judge replied.

Yuan Shang touched his chin, pondered for a moment, and said with a serious expression,

"Since Hua Xiong has been scared away, it's time to attack Yuan Tan!"

Hearing this, everyone present showed stunned expressions on their faces.

They never thought that Hua Xiong had just retreated, and his lord was going to attack his brother.

"My lord, no way!"

After Fengji was surprised, he came back to his senses and quickly persuaded,

"The last time Hua Xiong used some trick to suddenly appear on the North Shore.

What if he crosses the river again and sneak attack us when we are fighting with Yuan Tan?

What's more, Yecheng is short of food now, it's time to make peace with Yuan Tan and recuperate. "

Yuan Shang rolled his big eyes and said impatiently,

"It might just be that Hua Xiong took a long detour, or it might be that he built enough ships ahead of time."

Seeing that Yuan Shang insisted on going his own way, Feng Ji fell to his knees and said in pain,

"My lord, this is really impossible! If you don't agree, then allow me to resign."

Feng Ji lost the Yellow River and killed and injured countless soldiers, Yuan Shang didn't blame him too much.

This is because Yuan Shang doesn't have many talents under his command, Feng Ji is his right-hand man, and he thinks highly of Feng Ji.

Seeing that Feng Ji came directly to the palace, Yuan Shang quickly stood up, helped Feng Ji up, and said in a good voice,

"Military division, it's not that I don't want to get along well with my elder brother.

It's just that he has evil plans in his heart, thinking about dealing with me all the time.

This is one of them.

Second, we don't have much food left in the city. If we don't kill my elder brother and loot the food, we won't last long. "

"What the lord said is not bad at all." The judge echoed, "Now that Yuan Tan is unprepared and our troops are superior, it is a good time to do it!"

Everyone else is persuading Fengji with every word you say.

Feng Ji was silent for a long time, then he let out a long sigh,

"Everything is up to the Lord!"

Yuan Shang said happily, "That's good, listen to my order, and do it immediately tonight!"
