Yuan Shao attacked Pingyuan County, and Li Yang was too far away, so he could only rely on Guo Jia and the others. At most, when he couldn't hold on, he would dispatch the Zhenguan Army to support him.

Pingyuan County was prepared for Yuan Shao's attack very early, but their attack was a bit too fierce at the beginning, which led to Guo Jia and the others not responding in time. Now it has gradually stabilized, and it is impossible for Yuan Shao to break through for a while.

Taishan County and Pengcheng are unprepared. If they cannot respond in time, the consequences will be very serious.

Time is urgent. Since it has been decided, Li Yang did not delay any delay. The next day he led Zhao Yun, Lu Da and the cavalry selected to march towards Dongjun.

When Li Yang led his army to leave, Zhang Liang and Bai Qi did not delay, and left some troops to defend Shouchun, and began to march northward.

In order not to make Cao Cao's army suspicious, Zhang Liang specially found Li Yang and the others to pretend to be Li Yang, Lu Da, Zhao Yun and others.

Zhang Liang's guess was right. As soon as the army entered Pei County, Cao's army, who had already ambushed, surrounded Pei County and was in a mess.

In fact, in order to prevent Li Yang's army from returning to aid, Cao Cao even personally commanded the besieged army.

Cao Cao's eyes gradually gathered at Peijuncheng in front of him.

He hated Li Yang, but he did not dare to underestimate Li Yang. He had dealt with Li Yang before, so he naturally knew the power of Li Yang or the Qingzhou army.

He knew that with his own sake, he might not be Li Yang's opponent. He knew even more that if Li Yang was allowed to continue to develop, he would sooner or later become his target of attack. Will he be able to block him then?

Obviously, he did not have an accurate answer, and he was even less likely to put his hopes on uncertain factors. Therefore, when Yuan Shao sent someone to invite him to attack Li Yang together, he agreed without much hesitation.

Originally, he planned to wait until Li Yang was in a stalemate in Shouchun, he would conquer Pei County and Pengcheng with thunder, cut off the Li Yang army's retreat, and then block the Li Yang army's retreat, so that this army would become an isolated army, and he would definitely be slaughtered by him.

But to his surprise, Li Yang actually captured Shouchun City when he secretly mobilized his army.

Cao Cao didn't have to think about it, and the food supply in Shouchun City must be abundant, so it would be even more difficult to trap this army.

So he followed Xi Zhicai's plan and quickly went south to capture Pei County. Then he moved all the food and grass in the city, and then led his army to evacuate Pei City.

In order to realize this plan, Cao Cao even sacrificed the lives of a large number of soldiers to break through Peijun City as quickly as possible.

This time, Cao Cao brought 800,000 troops. Compared with the millions of troops he attacked in other directions, this is actually not much, and it is even insufficient to compare with the millions of troops of Li Yang's army.

However, his purpose this time was not to wipe out Li Yang's army, but to trap this part of Li Yang's army firmly in Pei County. When other troops were pulled out, he would not be able to deal with millions of troops at that time.

After the water surrounding the Peijun city was blocked, Cao Cao was not idle either and began to collect the surrounding wood to make siege equipment.

He heard about the attack on Shouchun City by Li Yang's army. Although he was not clear about what the legendary "magic weapon" in Li Yang's army was.

But Cao Cao's army still has powerful craftsmen, such as the weapon he ordered to make.

The 'Pili car' is one of the things that Cao Cao is most proud of. He even thought in his heart that his PILI car must be no weaker than the red catapult car in Li Yang's army.

He decided to learn Li Yang's tactics to attack Shouchun, instead of attacking the city directly, but kept using a catapult to storm.

This is not only because of his lack of military strength, but also because Cao Cao is not in a hurry. After all, his purpose is to prevent this pair of troops from heading north.

His idea was also recognized by Xi Zhicai, although Xi Zhicai felt that the implementation of the plan was a bit too smooth.

After 800,000 troops were stationed, the group of craftsmen brought by Cao Cao began to make thunder chariots in an orderly manner.

Although these thunderbolt chariots are improved siege equipment by Cao Cao, they are still thunderbolts. Therefore, compared with the Red Dragon War, which requires special materials, this thunderbolt chariot is more time-saving when siegeing the city.

In just half a month, Cao Cao's army made a sufficient number of Thunderbolt chariots, which made Cao Cao very happy.

Next, Cao Cao followed Li Yang's appearance and arranged five pili chariots at the four gates of Peijun City. After the pili chariots were placed, he began to bomb continuously.

Listening to the constant roar of huge rocks falling to the ground, and the continuous bombardment of Peijun city walls in front of him, Cao Cao's smile became more and more intense.

But Xi Zhicai, who had been following Cao Cao, frowned. He looked at Peijun, who was constantly bombarded and still extremely quiet, but he felt uneasy.

This silence has continued until now since their army besieged Pei County. Even though they were constantly bombarded by so many thunderbolt chariots, the Li Yang army in the city still had no movement, as if they were appointed.

He had seen the generals under Li Yang with his own eyes. With his abilities, he could naturally see the extraordinaryness of Zhang Liang and the others. Xi Zhicai would never think that with the abilities of Li Yang, he would be beaten like this.

Although it was very far away, Xi Zhicai saw Li Yang's figure and his men entering Pei County. There was absolutely nothing wrong with this.

He even ordered his personal guards to pretend to be a farmer and specifically counted them when Li Yang's army entered the city. Not only did Li Yang and his subordinates have no mistakes, but the number of Li Yang's army entering Pei County was absolutely correct.

So what was wrong? Xi Zhicai was puzzled, and in the end he decided that no matter what, it would be absolutely right for the Pili Car to hit him, not to mention that he had already arranged a plan to deal with special events.

…………

Just as Cao Cao ordered the thunder chariots to continue bombarding Peijun City, a cavalry team of about 30,000 people rose up loess and rushed towards Dongjun quickly.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Li Yang even took a long journey. Of course, for them all, there was nothing trouble with them.

However, it was impossible for 30,000 cavalrymen to hide their behavior. Therefore, before Li Yang and others reached the boundary of Dongjun, Xun in Dongjun city learned about this news.

Shortly after Xun received this news, he had already guessed the purpose of Li Yang's cavalry, and he also made corresponding countermeasures. While he ordered people to inform Cao Cao urgently, he ordered all troops outside to retreat to the nearby city.

The cavalry was not good at sieging the city, and the opponent could not be so stupid that he thought he would use 30,000 iron cavalry to attack Dongjun. However, Xun knew very well the power of the cavalry of Li Yang's army, and even more so that the purpose of these 30,000 iron cavalry came here, so he made this decision.

The only problem now is the problem of transporting food and grass.

However, before Cao Cao's army set off, Xi Zhicai discussed this issue with him. They came up with countermeasures early in the morning to address the possible cavalry harassment strategy of Li Yang's army.

The grain and grass in the entire Yanzhou were divided into multiple portions and placed in multiple cities such as Dongjun and Shanyang.

Usually these cities will transport food and grass to the front line at the same time, and once enemies are found around the city, the transportation of food and grass will be stopped.
