Cheng Yu returned to Yuan Tan's military camp again, and three thousand knives were placed in the military camp.
Yuan Tan pulled out a knife and then picked up an ordinary knife. When the two collided, the ordinary knife broke and he praised: "What a knife!"
Cao Jun's weapons are indeed powerful, better than theirs.
Even though Yuan Shao improved the forging method, their newly forged weapons were no more than that in front of Cao Jun.
Three thousand knives are enough for him. In a fight, three thousand such soldiers can completely reverse the situation of the battle and create many possibilities.
"What do you think, eldest son?"
Cheng Yu said: "We, Prime Minister Cao, are trustworthy. We hope that the eldest son can keep his promise and cooperate with us. Otherwise, when Yuan Shang and the others do something, you will be disadvantaged."
Yuan Tan put away the knife and laughed loudly: "I have seen Prime Minister Cao's sincerity and I am very satisfied with it. Of course I will keep my promise and use troops against Yuan Shang according to the agreed time. Please rest assured, Mr. Cheng."
"When does Mr. Cheng plan to go back?"
he asked adding.
Cheng Yu said: "I don't plan to go back. Firstly, as a hostage, I can reassure the eldest son about Prime Minister Cao. Secondly, I can help the eldest son make suggestions and formulate strategies on how to fight."
You must know that Cao Ying's counselors are far more capable than Yuan Tan's counselors.
Hearing that Cheng Yu could still stay to assist him, Yuan Tan could see the sincerity from Cao Cao, and said with great joy: "It is the best to have Mr. Cheng to assist, haha... Come, I want to host a banquet for Mr. Cheng , have two drinks together.”
Cheng Yu said sternly: "It's not suitable to drink alcohol when the enemy is here, just eat something casually."
"Sir is right!"
When Yuan Tan heard this, he realized that this was a real counselor who was willing to work.
If it were anyone else, he would never refuse to drink.
When Guo Tu and Xin Ping saw this, they shrugged helplessly and let Yuan Tan do whatever he wanted.
After the banquet was over, Yuan Tan asked Cheng Yu to take a rest, and then chatted with Guo Tu and Guo Tu, and the matter was settled.
However, the two of them were just about to go back to rest when they saw Cheng Yu coming to give them an important task, so they stayed in the military camp and continued to wait for the passage of time.
The agreed time for dispatching troops came soon.
Cheng Yu made a plan for Yuan Tan. Three thousand knives were assigned to three thousand vanguard soldiers, and they were divided into three groups, advancing from three directions, and then taking advantage of the terrain where Yuan Shang and his army camp were located to intercept. kill.
This plan was immediately approved by Yuan Tan. He thought that he was indeed a counselor in Cao Cao's army, much better than those in his own army. He even had the idea of poaching Cao Cao.
“I’ll dig it later!”
Yuan Tan was thinking in his mind, finalized his plan, and shouted loudly: "Beat the drum, march!"
Dong dong dong...
The sound of war drums echoed in the army.
The sound of drums was continuous and spread throughout the three armies.
The soldiers gathered and went to Yuan Shang's camp to kill them.
Three thousand vanguard soldiers, each leading five thousand men, attacked Yuan Shang from three directions. Coupled with Cheng Yu's strategic plan, it also had a certain effect, and Yuan Shang and the others were a little confused.
"Bang the drum!"
"Prepare a counterattack."
"Kill me!"
Yuan Shang was also full of resentment towards Yuan Tan. When he saw Yuan Tan coming to fight, he gathered Yuan Xi and Gao Gan's soldiers to fight back and killed him back.
Soldiers from both sides quickly collided.
After a complete hand-to-hand encounter, Yuan Tan followed Cheng Yu's suggestion and sent troops to suppress the formation, changed the layout of the military formation, and continued to kill Yuan Shang.
Seeing that Cheng Yu's true ability in dispatching troops and leading troops in battle was far better than Guo Tu's, Yuan Tan was so excited that he almost cheered, feeling that he had never fought such a smooth battle in his life. .
"We must get this Cheng Zhongde!"
Yuan Tan was thinking.
On the other side, Yuan Xi led his troops to counterattack. When he was about to concentrate his troops and attack Yuan Tan, he noticed something was wrong. The weapons in Yuan Tan's army were extremely sharp and could easily kill his own soldiers.
That's not all.
The layout of Yuan Tan's army is more sophisticated than before.
The changes in various battle formations came faster and faster, leaving them overwhelmed.
"That's Cao Jun's weapon."
"Big brother actually cooperated with Cao Cao to deal with us."
"Cao Cao must have sent some experts to my eldest brother's army to command him to fight us. How dare he liaise with foreign enemies?"
Yuan Xi first saw what was wrong.
It can be safely believed that Yuan Tan definitely has the support of Cao Cao.
After hearing this, Yuan Shang looked towards the front army, thought for a moment and said: "Yuan Tan has gone crazy to fight for power with me. Is there anything else he can't do? Since he wants to die, even the hatred of our Yuan family is gone. If you forget, then don’t blame me for being rude and keep fighting!”
"Cooperating with Cao Cao is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger!"
Gao Gan sighed: "Why is Xiansi so confused?"
"Sir, what should I do?"
Yuan Shang turned around and looked at Feng Ji and the others.
Feng Ji said: "Although Yuan Tan can get Cao Cao's support, he will never dare to accept Cao Cao's reinforcements. He only accepted weapons. The number should not be large. Our troops are far superior to Yuan Tan and can fight!"
Hearing that he could fight, Yuan Shang felt calm and shouted: "Fight back in full force, hit me hard!"
His eyes were red, and he looked fiercely at Yuan Tan's army in front, making sure to show Yuan Tan some color and let him know how powerful he was.
"Lord!"
Just when Yuan Shang was about to launch a full-scale counterattack, a soldier hurriedly came up from behind and said urgently: "Cao Cao has begun to march towards Yecheng."
"What?"
Yuan Shang exclaimed.
As soon as these words came out, it was even more certain that Yuan Tan was colluding with Cao Cao and their enemies of the Yuan family to attack Yecheng together.
After hearing this, Yuan Xi and Gao Gan gritted their teeth with hatred.
"Don't worry, sir!"
"There is General Ju Yi to the south of Ye City, who can block it for a while. Ye City is tall and thick, and it is basically impossible for Cao Cao to capture it. We have to concentrate our forces, repel Yuan Tan, and then find a way to deal with Cao Cao."
Shen Pei said calmly.
They were right. Although Yecheng was beaten, it was still safe.
Just when Yuan Shang was about to feel relieved, a fast horse rushed over in a hurry.
"Lord, something bad is happening!"
The knight on the horse lifted the reins vigorously, and the horse stopped. However, the knight was impatient and his center of gravity was unstable. Under the inertia, he fell under the horse, but he said even more impatiently: "Yecheng... the gate of Yecheng, It opened for no reason, Cao Jun... entered the city!"
"What did you say?"
Yuan Shang was panicking and stared at the soldier.
How could the gate of Yecheng be opened?
impossible!
As soon as the soldier's words came out, he immediately caused a sensation and shock.
"What happened in Yecheng?"
The judge asked.
You must know that their families and relatives are all in Yecheng. If Cao Jun really enters the city, what else can be done?
"No...I don't know. The city gate opened for no reason, and then Cao Jun entered the city..."
This soldier came in a hurry. He didn't understand anything yet and came to deliver the message in a hurry.
Yuan Shang was lost for a while and shouted loudly: "Go back quickly to save Yecheng!"
