Julu, a huge team is moving. The number of this army is about 30,000, and more than half of the soldiers and half of the civilians drive away cattle, horses, mules and carts. They form a long snake formation and walk northward, stretching for more than ten miles between the head and tail.

The flags are like clouds, spears are like forests, and wherever people and horses pass by, smoke and dust cover the sky and the sun. When you are far away, you can feel the murderous aura that soars into the sky!

It was early spring, and the birds and beasts in the mountains and forests had not yet fully recovered. There was no other movement along the way except for the army. However, in the sky, there were a few vultures hovering far away in the sky and dared not get closer, which showed the deterrence of this army.

In a chaotic world, not only people need to learn to adapt to survival, but even birds and beasts are the same. Even the vultures with low intelligence know that there must be delicious food when a large army passes, but this requires enough patience. If it is too urgent, it will only waste your life.

A big star was high in the flag forest, and the word "Yuan" was written on it. Whether you were familiar with the Jizhou Army or not, you should know at this time that the chief general of this army was not personally led by Yuan Shao, the governor of New Jizhou, but also the commander of Yuan Shao's relatives. Obviously, as the chief general of a partial army, it would not be Yuan Shao, but only Yuan Tan, the son of Yuan Shao.

In this chaotic world, people's hearts are dangerous, and it is impossible for outsiders to believe that unless they are their own blood relatives, they will never be believed. Whether it is Cao Cao, who loves talents as much as his life, or Yuan Shao, who dominates Jizhou, the real power of military and horses must be in the hands of his own blood relatives.

Therefore, whether a family has a prosperous and successful career or not means whether the family can laugh to the end. It’s a pity that the brother Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao are incompatible. Otherwise, if the two Yuan and the north join forces, the situation in Guandong has long been decided, so there are no hostile places between Gongsun Zan, He Bai, Tao Qian and others. Therefore, at this time, Yuan Shao is the only one who can believe in his own son.

Yuan Shao had two sons at this time. As Yuan Shao's eldest son, although he had a bad temper, he had no shortage of talent, bravery, wise and intelligent. He was a good helper for Yuan Shao. Although his second son Yuan Xi was a concubine's son, he was weak in character, but his talent was not bad. He was a good talent with both civil and military affairs, especially in government affairs.

Yuan Shao had a nephew who was the descendant of the Gao clan of Chenliu. He was the son of the former prefect Gao Gong and Yuan Shao's elder sister. He was raised by Yuan Shao in his childhood. He was well-versed in literature and martial arts, and was good at distinguishing arts. He once lobbyed Han Fu with Xun Chen and others, so that Yuan Shao could safely take over the governor of Jizhou.

With the second son and nephew who became talented, the Yuan Shao family was also prosperous. In addition, the three of them will definitely become the most powerful people in the famous town. This also means that the future of the Yuan family, dominated by Yuan Shao, will gradually move towards brightness and prosperity.

This time, Yuan Shao ordered Yuan Tan, who was good at military struggles, to lead the army, to vigorously train the two. Fortunately, the two lived up to their expectations, and at the age of Qingqing fought against Tian Kai, the governor of Bingzhou, and Shan Jing, the governor of Yanzhou, whom Gongsun Zan, who was appointed as the governor of Bingzhou, and Shan Jing, the governor of Yanzhou.

Yuan Tan showed his power and defeated Tian Kai a few days ago, forcing Tian Kai to retreat under Quyang. Now, Yuan Tan led his troops north to take advantage of the victory and chased Tian Kai's troops completely drove out of Jizhou.

The point where the soldiers pointed was Xiaquyang!

"Mr. Zhongzhi, the cavalry of Youzhou is indeed powerful. If my father had not defeated Gongsun Zan at Jieqiao, Tian Kai's troops would be frightened after hearing this. We were defeated by our army at the opportunity. I wonder when it would be possible to confront each other. However, there were not many cavalry of Youzhou troops under Tian Kai's troops, so I was afraid that it would be difficult to completely drive him out of Jizhou. I wonder if Mr. Zhongzhi had any good plans?"

Yuan Tan sincerely asked Xin Ping, the military sent by his father Yuan Shao, for advice. Xin Ping was both civil and military, and was an extremely important counselor under Yuan Shao. Therefore, whether it was sincere or false, Yuan Tan had to express great respect to Xin Ping so that he could get the support of most people when he inherited his father's position in the future.

Xin Ping was very satisfied with Yuan Tan's respect for him, believing that the eldest son of the lord was really virtuous and loved his scholars, and he was quite like a lord. Xin Ping was also willing to support Yuan Tan to accomplish his career, and he could get a high position like the Grand Tutor under Yuan's command in the future.

Xin Ping Fuxu smiled and said, "I heard that the battle of Jieqiao was a great yellow crossbow against Youzhou cavalry. Although our army did not have a great yellow crossbow, there were not a few powerful crossbows, with as many as 8,000. As long as the power of Youzhou cavalry was limited, they could use the method of volleying crossbows. They could completely destroy them."

Yuan Tan frowned and said, "Our army knew the result of the Battle of Jieqiao, but Tian Kai's army also knew it. Since the news spread, Tian Kai's army has mostly prepared large shields, and the cavalry will never gather to attack, so it is difficult to carry out a destructive attack on him. How can our army limit the maneuvers of the cavalry in Youzhou?"

Xin Ping smiled and said, "The role of the cavalry is to win the field war and to attack the ground. However, our army has strong crossbows in the field war, and there are civil servants who can transport grain for three months. They are not afraid of the food cut off at all. As long as they go step by step, they look at the place where Tian Kai's army's food is stationed. Tian Kai has to bite the bullet and fight with our army. At that time, the maneuver of the cavalry will naturally be limited."

Yuan Tan was overjoyed when he heard this and thanked him: "Mr. Zhongzhi's strategy is indeed a perfect plan for the country. I often hear that soldiers are very fast and pursue them with victory, but I don't know that Mr. Zhongzhi's intention to bring a large number of civilians to march. Today I finally understand."

Xin Ping was stunned, but laughed again. Yuan Tan couldn't understand such a simple strategy, which he didn't expect. It can be attributed to the fact that he was young and brave, he liked to fight quickly, and he didn't like to fight slowly. But he was able to endure it until now to ask himself for advice, and this determination was not bad.

"Report, the commander, Yuan's army is only ten miles away from our army. Our army has fought with Yuan's army's provocate, killing four people and escaping one. Yuan's army almost knows the movements of our army."

Li Pingsurong said: "Try again."

"Here."

After the scout retreated, Li Ping urgently summoned all the generals under his command to discuss. This time, Li Ping sent troops to lead 8,000 battle soldiers, 4,000 auxiliary soldiers of the baggage, and seven Simas went to war. Two thousand cavalrymen were led by Li Ping and cavalry Sima Han Meng; the six thousand infantrymen were led by Xiahou Lan, the Zhending man who took the initiative to surrender after Hao Zhao, Zhu Mian, Qiu Hui, Yin Li, Zhen Ge, and He Bai left. The baggage troops were led by Yang Lin, an Anguo man who took the initiative to surrender.

Since Li Ping was left in Zhongshan by He Bai and guarding the private property of He family in Changshan, Li Ping knew that he had been abandoned by He Bai and believed by He Bai. What he abandoned was because Li Ping's ability was not enough to help He Bai fight the world. What he valued was because Li Ping's loyalty to the Ma family could be transferred to He Bai, the son-in-law of the Ma family, and he was a good helper to guard the family business.

However, although Li Ping was old, he was not yet at the level of enjoying his grandchildren. When he heard that the generals who were also from He Bai's private soldiers were famous in various places, he still wanted to be among them. However, Li Ping also knew his ability. If he could not succeed in literature or martial arts, he could only be loyal and righteous.

After staying in Lingshou for nearly three years, Li Ping's enthusiasm not only did not disappear, but became more and more vigorous as time passed. It was not until recently that he received He Bai's order to help Julu, Anping's Gongsun Yuejun defeated Yuan Jun. Li Ping was so excited that he wanted to scream.

He Bai's order did not have detailed instructions, but only said that the camera would move to help Gongsun Jun defeat Yuan Jun. The methods and tactics were uncertain, and Li Ping and the generals were allowed to plan their own plans. He Bai only had the result. This gave Li Ping and others many opportunities to implement it.

Just as Yuan Tan was slowly advancing north, Li Ping first discussed with Tian Kai, hoping that Tian Kai would fight with Yuan Tan with his army to facilitate the raid from behind. However, Tian Kai was extremely alert to the uninvited Li Ping, and was unwilling to unite with Li Ping to fight the enemy without receiving the order from Gongsun Zan.

Li Ping was furious and believed that Tian Kai was not jealous and judged a gentleman with a villain's heart, so he wanted to lead his troops to leave. However, Tian Kai also knew that Yuan's army was the main enemy of Gongsun's army, and He's army was just a potential enemy.

So he used words to inspire Li Ping, and asked Li Ping to lead his troops to fight against Yuan Tan head-on, and led his troops to find an opportunity to raid. Unexpectedly, Li Ping responded and asked Tian Kai for his general flag and pretended to be Gongsun Jun to fight against Yuan Jun. This positive statement made Tian Kai think that he was really a villain.

Originally, Li Ping believed that his army had been trained for three years and often fought with the Black Mountain bandits for a few small battles. Not only did he fight the formation of the regular soldiers, but he also fought the formation of the scattered soldiers. He was very skilled. Even if he fought head-on with the Yuan army, he could still forcibly break it.

He could also take the opportunity to make contributions and become famous all over the world. However, Tian Kai told Li Ping that Yuan's army was equipped with a large number of powerful crossbows, nearly 10,000, and did not like to fight with the enemy in hand.

This information and the huge powerful crossbow formation surprised Li Ping. In the past, I often heard about the equipment gap between the Yellow Turban thieves and the Chaoting Army. The Chaoting Army only needs a strong crossbow and a big yellow crossbow to defeat tens of thousands of Yellow Turbans. The Yellow Turban thieves can only win if they fight with the Chaoting Army with their number of people and their spirit of not fearing life and death.

Therefore, Li Ping was very concerned about the court army carrying strong crossbows and big yellow crossbows. Unexpectedly, Yuan Jun was such an army. Fortunately, He Bai once talked about the method of dealing with big yellow crossbows and strong crossbows. He Bai said: Every military has its own function. If you are just obsessed with one military branch, then you will not be far from failure.

Crossbow soldiers are direct-firing soldiers with very small shooting angles. As long as there are enough armored shields in the front, the effect of powerful crossbows can be offset. If there are powerful weapons such as long-range catapults, crossbows, bed crossbows, etc., they can cause crossbow soldiers to suffer.

If there are similar strong crossbowmen, they can also shoot with them. With the courage and perseverance of He's private soldiers who are not afraid of life and death, there are few troops in the world who dare to shoot with them. Even if it is an army with nothing, they can dig trenches and use bows and arrows to respond to the enemy.

If it is an army that takes the initiative to attack, it can also use night battles to raid the enemy, or it can be used by Li Pingzheng.

"Report, the young master and Tian Kai's army set up camp ten miles ahead to wait for our army."

"Oh." Yuan Tan smiled and said, "I didn't expect that Tian Kai was very brave. He didn't fight to defend the city, but instead camped in the wild to stop him."

Xin Ping pondered: "This place is only twenty miles away from Xiaquyang. If Tian Kai does not guard the city, there will be a conspiracy to set up camp here."

Yuan Tan smiled and said, "Mr. Zhongzhi is too worried. The fields here are endless and there is no ambush. Even if you want to make conspiracies, you have no choice. I think Tian Kai is unwilling to retreat again. He is still fighting after trapping the rat, and wants to make the final struggle."
