These words made Yuan Shao smile. "Then how much food should we give Gongsunzan to that man? But not too much. Although we had a certain amount of food after the autumn harvest last year, we were still in a state of tension."

Guo Tu said with a smile: "Lord, don't need to be too much. At most 200,000 stones of food and grass, Gongsun Zan can be the gun in the lord's hand again. The lord asked him to restrain Daxiong's army. Do he dare not restrain it? But our army cannot send troops to Dai County, otherwise Gongsun Zan will misunderstand, and Gongsun Zan will not restrain Daxiong's army."

After Feng Ji's envoy, Gongsun Zan returned, Yuan Shao sent someone to secretly investigate Xushi and closely monitor the decisive battle between our army and the Xianbei Tartars. When we received our army from Shanggu City, Yuan Shao asked Tuo Yi as the vanguard and led 30,000 troops to advance towards our Huguan. Yuan Shao brought Wen Chou, Yan Liang, Jiang Yiqu, Feng Ji, Guo Tu, Xu You and others to lead 170,000 troops to kill Huguan, and asked Chunyu Qiong to be responsible for transporting food and grass.

Yuan Shao's army had just been dispatched. Guo Jia and others in Jinyang City also received information from Yecheng. Guo Jia and Gao Shun immediately led 15,000 troops to reinforce Huguan. After arriving at Huguan, Sha'er accompanied Guo Jia and Gao Shun to check the defense measures of Huguan and promptly asked the soldiers to dig the Haodian in the front of Huguan a little deeper, reaching more than ten meters deep and more than twenty meters wide. There were a large number of wooden thorns at the bottom of the ditch. If the troops fell down, they would have to die. Even if the enemy wanted to break into a cave and attack the city, the possibility of the enemy's attempt to attack the city was minimized. He also checked the situation on Taihang Mountain in detail, and added a large number of mechanisms and traps to make it denser.

Gao Shun smiled after checking, "General, Yuan Shao has only arrived at 200,000 troops. Is it a little less? He has only arrived at 500,000 troops. It is estimated that if he wants to attack Xiahuguan in this life, it would be a delusion. If he wants to attack the outer city wall, it would be impossible without the loss of 200,000 soldiers. He can only fight for consumption and find a way to attack the city gate. If our army blocks the outer city gate, Yuan Shao will have no choice."

Guo Jia smiled and said, "We can't block the outer city gates. We can use the urn to destroy a large amount of Yuan Shao's army's vitality. In the urn is the slaughterhouse of Yuan Shao's 200,000 troops. However, who designed this urn? Its defense ability and attack points are really incredible. Even half of the wall is designed with shooting holes, and there are countless shooting holes in the urn. The protective belts on the wall to avoid enemy bows and arrows are also very good."

Sha'er smiled and thought, "General, the design of the Wengcheng was made by the master. Li You personally was responsible for the construction. I just picked up a bargain and did some finishing work."

Guo Jia was even more surprised when he heard this. How could this be possible? "Silly, you said that the design of this urn city was made by the lord himself? You wouldn't make a mistake, right? How did the lord design the city? "

The fool said, "This is the true long!"

A few days later, Yuan Shao's vanguard, Que Yi, led a large army. Originally, Sha'er sent troops to deal with him, but Guo Jia said that there was no need, we just use the city to destroy them. Why not take risks? Gao Shun also opposed the attack. Of course, Sha'er could only listen to the two of them.

Tuo Yi led the vanguard army to the front of Huguan. When he saw the situation in Huguan, his heart was half cold. How to attack such a solid and majestic dangerous pass? Huguan is no longer the same as Huguan. Tuo Yi himself knows how to lead troops to fight, and is also a wise general. It is probably the most capable general in Yuan Shao's army. So when Tuo Yi saw the situation in Huguan, he did not order the attack on Huguan. Instead, he retreated twenty years later and set up a camp and waited for Yuan Shao's army to come before discussing. This is very wise and action.

A few days later, Yuan Shao's army came. When Yuan Shao heard Tuo Yi say that he was in front of Huguan and did not dare to attack, he pointed at Tuo Yi angrily and cursed loudly: "Coward, coward, I am really blind. I asked you to come to the front of the front, but I have no courage at all. A level scares you to the terror. It's really a shame to my army. From now on, you will go to the back army and fight without you."

The next day, Yuan Shao personally led a large army to attack Huguan. When Yuan Shao and his advisers and generals arrived in front of Huguan, they were stunned by the steepness of Huguan and could not speak for a long time. They also understood why Tuo Yi dared not attack the city easily. Of course, Yuan Shao still asked Wen Chou to lead 20,000 soldiers to carry wooden ladders and other siege equipment to try to attack, wanting to test the defensive firepower on Huguan.

Wen Chou asked the soldiers to carry the ladders on the Haodou in front of Huguan, trying to force the craftsman to the city wall, but his idea was too simple. Gao Shun commanded the soldiers guarding the city to use bows and arrows, and shot the crossbow arrows. The wooden ladder was shot by the rockets and burned. Yuan Shao's soldiers who had just rushed up the wooden ladder were either shot or smashed into Haodou by the stones thrown from the city wall. Yuan Shao's soldiers called the sky and the earth, and were killed by Lu Ning's army on the city wall. They didn't even attack the city wall, but they left thousands of bodies.

Head. Although Yuan archers also shot the soldiers guarding the city walls of Lu Ning, the effect was too poor. The range of the bows and arrows in their hands was not as far as that of the Lu Ning army, and the lethality was not as strong as that of the Lu Ning army. In addition, the armor on the body of the Lu Ning army soldiers and the helmets were extremely defensive. The arrows shot by Yuan Shao archers had little impact on the soldiers of Lu Ning army. Yuan Shao saw that his soldiers were only beaten in the distance, and knew that if they continued to attack, they would lose their lives in vain, so he shouted to withdraw his troops and returned to the camp.

After the first day of battle, Guo Jia said to Gao Shun and Sha'er: "Yuan Shao's troops are too strong, ten times that of our army. I guess he will take the next step to attack day and night to drag our army. You two have to take turns to rest. One person commands the battle on the city wall at any time. Twenty thousand soldiers take turns to defend every 5,000 people. In this way, our soldiers' physical strength is guaranteed, and Yuan Shao will be powerless."

After Yuan Shao withdrew his troops, he also held a meeting in the tent and studied how to break through such a dangerous pass. Guo Tu thought for a while and said, "Lord, Huguan is very different from the original one. Its defense ability has been greatly improved. It is not very likely to lead the enemy out of the city to fight. However, you can also send soldiers to the front of the pass to shout and scold the generals guarding the pass hundreds of times, and see if they can anger the generals guarding the city. As long as they leave the pass, they will not be our opponents."

Wen Chou glanced at Yuan Shao and said, "Lord, if you want to capture Huguan, you must first fill the Haodiao in front of the pass. It is useless to just use a wooden ladder. Only by filling the Haodiao first can you attack the city wall and attack the city wall."
