In Yecheng, in the prefecture palace, Yuan Shao stared at the at a loss in front of him. His dusty faces were a bit unspeakable fatigue, and he broke through the siege and fled here. He had exhausted his energy just to convey the news of Guangzong's loss back.∑.

"Okay, you go down to recuperate first." Xu You spoke calmly, and led the wounded soldiers to leave the convention hall, and then said in a deep voice: "Since Guangzong has been captured, the army of Taiping thieves is afraid that we will reach Yecheng soon, so we must prepare early."

Yuan Shao said angrily: "Preparation, preparation, I have been preparing for so long. Can you resist the army of Taiping thieves? Do you have no basic knowledge at all?"

Tian Fengwei said: "Lord, although there are more than 100,000 troops in Yecheng, the Taiping thieves have a total of 300,000 troops. Under the strong pressure, even if Yecheng is tall, it is probably difficult to resist. Therefore, if you want to defeat the enemy, you still need to think of another countermeasure before you have a chance to win."

"The enemy has many people, but because of the division of troops to attack various cities in Jizhou, we will inevitably advance in several ways. At that time, we will concentrate our troops and defeat them one by one!" Ju Su immediately said in a deep voice: "In this way, the enemy will not be able to exert the advantage of large numbers of people, and our army will be able to gain a slight advantage."

"Is this true? It's good!" Yuan Shao nodded in a daze and said, "My heart is already confused. I will give all the things here to all the virtuous!"

Looking at Yuan Shao, Tian Feng, Ju Su, Xu You, Shen Pei, Feng Ji and others, who were in a state of dismay, they couldn't help but sigh slightly. It seemed that the failure of the Jieqiao Battle had already given Yuan Shao a sign of being unable to recover, and the successive failures of the war made him feel even more depressed. For a overlord hero, this is not a good omen, but at the moment, he can only overcome the current difficulties first and be qualified to talk about other things.

Otherwise, once the Taiping Army captured Yecheng, it would be difficult for the rear of Jizhou to survive. At that time, not only Yuan Shao would be difficult. These civil servants and strategists from major families would be unlikely to survive. After all, fighting the local tyrants and sharing the land was the highest policy that the Taiping Army has always implemented.

Since the Taiping Army revolt in Qingzhou, it has successively captured most of the territory of the Han Dynasty. There has never been an exception. All wealthy families with a few bad deeds have been dealt with, and the gentry and family members who have nothing to lose are destroyed under the butcher knife of the Taiping Army. This is an indisputable fact.

At this moment, although the group of strategists under Yuan Shao had already had the prototype of a faction, Yuan Shao was not full of his wings. Therefore, although there were factions, it was not obvious. Although there were dirty among the strategists, there was a filth. However, at this time of crisis, everyone could put aside their daily personal grievances and fight the enemy hand in hand.

"The vanguard of Taiping thieves is coming. I wonder if you think that general can take on the great responsibility and lead troops to attack the vanguard of Taiping thieves?" After a long time of searching each other, Tian Feng asked in a deep voice.

"General Ju Yi can take on this position!" Ju Su said in a deep voice. In fact, although Yuan Shao has many powerful generals, there are not many people who can lead the army alone. At least in Ju Su's opinion, Yan Liangwen is ugly and brave, but if you want to talk about marching and setting up formations, you can only be judged as the top, which is too far apart from Ju Yi.

"Sir, please fight!" After hearing Ju Su's words, Ju Yi immediately stepped forward to ask for battle, his eyes full of excitement and high fighting spirit.

"Although Yuanrong has wisdom and plans, he is not brave enough. There are many elite soldiers and generals among the Taiping thieves. This battle is not a small matter. I am afraid that Yuanrong alone will not be able to take on the great responsibility. I think there is still a general who needs to be the army!" Feng Ji frowned and said, "Under the lord, Yan Liang is the most brave. I suggest that Yan Liang be the chief general, Yuan Rong assist him, lead 50,000 elite troops, take advantage of the arrival of the Taiping thieves and a foothold, and then go out to the city to raid, and you can defeat the enemy with one blow!"

"I'm afraid this is something wrong?" Tian Feng frowned.

But Shen Pei and Xu You all agreed with Feng Ji's words, three to two, Ju Su sighed helplessly. He could see that Feng Ji and others were afraid of Ju Yi, but in fact they were just suppressing him and Tian Feng. At this moment of war, and life and death, these people were still thinking about internal struggle. How could Jizhou be undefeated?!

Three days later, the vanguard of the Taiping Army had arrived fifty miles away from Yecheng. The vanguard generals Dian Wei and Xu Sheng led 50,000 troops to set up camps and fought for a long time. They knew that Yecheng was difficult to break. Therefore, they knew very well that they did not rashly attack the city, but were prepared to wait for Xiao Lan's main army to arrive in the rear.

However, before they could set up camp, spies came to report that a large number of official troops were attacking in Jizhou City and were about to approach the camp!

"Huh?" Hearing this, Dian Wei couldn't help but ponder and said in surprise: "I really didn't expect that Yuan Shao would be so brave!"

Xu Sheng sneered and said, "I think Yuan Shao doesn't have the courage. At most, he will send his generals to attack, trying to take advantage of the new arrival of our army and not gaining a stable foothold, and want to defeat our army."

Dian Wei frowned and said, "Then how should we deal with it?"

Xu Sheng sneered, "Don't worry, Yuan Shao was defeated in Jieqiao, and countless generals under his command were killed or injured. Not many people were qualified to lead troops. This time, it may be Yan Liang and Wen Chou. Then General Xu will come forward."

Dian Wei laughed and said, "I have heard that the generals under Yuan Shao from Jizhou are the most powerful, Yan Liang and Wen Chou. I will send the orders to let the soldiers prepare early!"

It seemed to confirm Xu Sheng's words. Soon, the Jizhou official army came over, and the leader was indeed a general under Yuan Shao. As for him, he was naturally huddled in the prefecture palace in Yecheng, and he couldn't even see a shadow.

Yan Liang led his army to the gate of the Taiping Army camp. Although he entered the range of the archer, he was not afraid. He looked up at the wall of the village and shouted loudly: "I am Yan Liang, the general of Jizhou, and the thief of Taiping who is in trouble all over the world. Can anyone dare to come down to fight a certain battle?!"

"General Yan Liang, the thief army has arrived, and the camps are completely built, and the soldiers are tired. When we attack again, our army is in a state of unstable morale. This is a good opportunity for attack, and we must not miss it!" Standing under the Taiping Army's wall, Ju Yi grasped the overall situation and immediately made suggestions to Yan Liang. The failure to get the position of the commander made Ju Yi feel unhappy. However, since he had already taken on this job, he did not intend to compete with Yan Liang for credit. Instead, he tried his best to help Yan Liang check for shortcomings and make suggestions. After all, this battle was related to the safety of the entire Jizhou or who was in charge of Jizhou.

"Don't worry, I know the right way!" Yan Liang spoke in a deep voice. Obviously, he was not very happy with Ju Yi's suggestions. In his opinion, he was obviously the head coach in this battle, but Ju Yi pointed at him, which was really annoying.

Ju Yi wanted to persuade him again, but he saw that the Taiping Army camp gate suddenly opened wide. Then, an ugly general with a tiger-backed and bear-backed waist led his troops to fight.

"Is there really someone coming out to fight?" Seeing this, Yan Liang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He just shouted that way, and never thought that someone would really dare to come out to fight at this time. To be honest, he was also very unsure. If the person who came out was a strong man like Huang Zhong who could compete with Lu Bu, even he would not have the confidence to win. But seeing that although the person who came was tall and big, he was obviously not Huang Zhong, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

However, just as he was about to come forward to fight, Ju Yi said anxiously: "General Yan Liang, the opportunity for war is fleeting. Don't pay attention to this person. You should attack quickly and break through the enemy camp!"

The Taiping Army generals are the most powerful. He has seen them with his own eyes. Since the other party dares to come out to fight, he doesn’t have to think about it and knows that he must be capable. Yan Liang may not win this time. It would be fine if he wins, but what if he loses?

According to Ju Yi's intention, there is no need to fight the generals at this moment. With the current morale gap between the two sides, they will definitely be able to win. Even if there are strong generals in the Taiping Army, facing the attack of thousands of troops, their personal combat power will be limited after all.

Unfortunately, although Ju Yi thought thoroughly, Yan Liang did not appreciate it. He was a purely powerful general. He might have some strategy, but he was even more brave. Seeing the enemy general coming to fight, he was not willing to retreat. He heard Ju Yi's words and immediately smiled and said, "General Ju Yi, there is no need to worry, and it is not too late to let me kill the thief general first and then attack!" (To be continued.)
