Chapter 321: Attacking Yuan Shao 1

Besides, Zhang He and Zhang Liao, Lu Ning, left behind a 10,000 army to Gao Lan to lead the camp. However, they led nearly 40,000 troops to the hinterland of Jifang to harvest wheat from Yuan Shao's fields. Every time, 20,000 troops harvested wheat, and 20,000 troops used as guards, making it difficult for Xindu, Julu and Qinghe to jointly eliminate them. Every time, two or three days later, the wheat they received was sent back. This trip made Yuan Tan, Shen Pei and others in Xindu were furious.

Zhang He and Zhang Liao led a large army to harvest wheat. On the one hand, they cooperated with Tian Chou and Taishi Ci's army in Liaodong Battle, and on the other hand, they also harvested the wheat in Yuan Shao's fields, so they were not in a hurry and had no pressure. Anyway, it was the free food, and it was calculated as much as they could receive. If it was Yuan Tan and Shen Pei and others dared to leave the city, they would destroy some of Yuan Shao's new forces. It took nearly a month for the two to harvest about 700,000 acres of wheat from Yuan Shao, and the wheat harvested exceeded 1.2 million dan.

Of course, during this period, small-scale battles had been experienced twice. It was Zhang He and Zhang Liao who led a large army to seize the hinterland of Jizhou. It was also when Yuan Shao authorized the three places of Xindu, Qinghe and Julu to attack the Lu Ning army at the right time. At that time, Zhang He and Zhang Liao's 20,000 harvesting army harvested wheat for three days and were about to escort the wheat back, Yuan Tan in Xindu City and Shen Pei led a 30,000 army to kill. Ye Chunyu Qiong in Julu City also led a 40,000 army to kill, and the high-ranking officials in Qinghe City led a 30,000 army to kill.

Three large armies came, the closest one was the army led by Chunyu Qiong from Julu, and the farthest one was the army of high-ranking officials coming from Qinghe. The army of high-ranking officials would be lagging behind for a day and a half. After researching, Zhang He and Zhang Liao decided to leave the harvested food on the spot. The two led an army of 40,000 to attack the 30,000 troops of high-ranking officials at a long distance. They wanted to bid farewell to the high-ranking officials and would never have dreamed that he would be attacked.

At night, the high-ranking officials, like his 30,000 army, did not take any defense. They all thought that even if Zhang He and Zhang Liao's army attacked, it should be Chunyu Qiong and Yuan Tan's two-way army. How could they go far? So when the high-ranking officials were still sleeping, Zhang He and Zhang Liao's 40,000 Feixiong troops suddenly arrived, which was basically considered to be without resistance. It was just a unilateral massacre. In addition, there were another 40,000 cavalry against 30,000 infantry. How could they fight? In just one hour, the high-ranking officials' 30,000 army was reimbursed. The high-ranking officials himself escaped, captured more than 25,000 enemy soldiers, killed more than 2,000 people, and more than 50 soldiers in Lu Ning's army were injured and killed.

After the battlefield was cleaned, Zhang Liao and Zhang He left behind a thousand soldiers and captives and the seized food and grass. After a while, the two led the army to kill Chunyu Qiong's army from Julu City. This time, the two also made a big detour and directly interspersed behind Chunyu Qiong's army.

After Chunyu Qiong led a 40,000 army to the assembly site, he found that there were no soldiers from Lu Ning's army, only six or seventy thousand harbors of harvested grain placed on a large truck. This made Chunyu Qiong so happy that he had been dancing. He had obtained so much food and grass for no reason. Can this not be excited? Chunyu Qiong immediately sent a messenger to report the situation here to Yuan Tan who was rushing to come, and he himself was escorting the food and grass back to Julu City with great enthusiasm.

Chunyu Qiong led the army to escort the grain slowly back. He was only happy for a long time and encountered a nightmare. Zhang Liao and Zhang He's army rushed towards him from the front, which made him unexpected. In addition, Chunyu Qiong himself was a man of alcohol and sex, and had no ability. In history, it was also because he was drinking and misleading when he was guarding Yuan Shao's army's food and grass in Wuchao, and Cao Cao burned Yuan Shao's food and grass, and then he was defeated by Yuan Shao's hundreds of thousands of troops.

When Chunyu Qiong saw Zhang Liao, Zhang He's army collided with his army. He was panicked. The army was lazy and suddenly attacked. It was too late to organize the formation. This was the speed of the cavalry, which was too fast. Zhang Liao and Zhang He each led an army of 20,000 to directly crash into Chunyu Qiong's army. In an instant, Chunyu Qiong's army became a mess and could not resist effectively. In addition, the soldiers were originally poor in training, and they were immediately like frightened birds when they encountered war, and they only knew how to escape.

Chunyu Qiong saw that his army could not control it. Even if he was waiting for it, he immediately rushed out of a bloody way to escape, regardless of his soldiers. When the soldiers saw that the main general had fled, what else could they fight? Isn’t that a waste of work? Under the clamor of the soldiers of Lu Ning’s army, the soldiers under Chunyu Qiong also knelt down and surrendered. This was their only way to save their lives, otherwise they would only die innocently.

This time it took a shorter time, and the battle was resolved in less than an hour. The Lu Ning army killed Chunyu Qiong's 40,000 troops at the cost of just over twenty soldiers, including more than 32,000 prisoners and more than 3,000 killed. The others were probably running away.

After Zhang Liao and Zhang He asked the soldiers to clean the battlefield, they rested on the spot for more than two hours. The two left five thousand soldiers to escort the prisoners and food, and the two fought non-stop to kill Yuan Tan's army.

Yuan Tan and Shen Pei received the information sent by Chunyu Qiong, Shen Pei immediately said: "Young master, the army of high-ranking officials is over. Our army retreats quickly, otherwise it will be too late."

Before Yuan Tan could figure it out, he said, "Mr. Zhengnan, you said that the army under the high-ranking officials was destroyed by the Big Bear Army. This is impossible? Didn't Chunyu Qiong say that he seized 60,000 or 70,000 dan of the Big Bear Army's food? The soldiers of the Big Bear Army were afraid that our army would encircle and fight, so they would run away long ago. Why would they attack the high-ranking officials again? They weren't afraid that we would make dumplings?"

Shen Pei looked at Yuan Shao's stupid son and said patiently: "Young Master, if the Big Bear Army escaped, why didn't they burn the food and stayed for us to seize it? It was obvious that they would come back to take away the food and grass. They must have gone to attack the high-ranking officials' army for a long distance, and the high-ranking officials felt that he was the farthest distance, and the big Bear Army would not attack him. In this way, the high-ranking officials would definitely be attacked. The high-ranking officials were still attacked against the 40,000 cavalry. No matter how they fought, it would be a failure."

After a while, the senior officials also sent a messenger to send information about the raid of the army. Then Chunyu Qiong also sent the battle report of the raid of the army. Now, Shen Pei, Yuan Tan, was like a frightened bird, immediately urged the army to retreat quickly, for fear of being chased by Zhang Liao and Zhang He's army.

Zhang Liao and Zhang He led the army desperately to chase Yuan Tan's army, but Shen Pei was a man with high IQ after all, so he immediately led the army back after a little disturbance. This made Zhang Liao and Zhang He work for a while, but in the end he did not catch up with Yuan Tan and Shen Pei's army.

In this way, it would be safer for Zhang Liao and Zhang He to lead a large army to harvest wheat in the hinterland of Jizhou. Yuan Tan, Shen Pei and others stood on the city wall and watched the wheat in their fields being harvested by Zhang Liao. Zhang He's army had no choice. Zhang Liao and Zhang He did not take the initiative to attack their city, but continued to harvest wheat in Yuan Shao's fields.
