Outside Yecheng, Gongsun Zan is in his camp.

When he received the report of the battle in Liyang from Feng Ji, Gongsun Zan was furious:"An army of 200,000 people was guarding the river. With the natural danger of the Yellow River, it was not able to stop the army of more than 100,000 Cao Cao!

Moreover, Cao Jun crossed the river and was defeated in one battle!"

Is he, Yuan Tan, a pig?!"

"No! To say that Yuan Tan is a pig is to flatter him!

Even if 200,000 pigs were placed on the north bank of the Yellow River, they would be able to stop Cao's army - there would be no place to stay, right?

Yuan Tan Guo Tu led an army of 200,000 people, but he was defeated in a single encounter. He was simply worse than a pig!"

At this point, Gongsun Zan couldn't help but get even more angry:"Now everyone in the world says that to have a son is like Cao Zixiu, like the son of Yuan Shao, with the ears of a dolphin or a dog.

It’s true!

Jizhou and even the entire four states in Hebei fell into the hands of the Yuan brothers. This great foundation was simply wasted!"

"Although Yuan Shao and I are old enemies, I have to admit that Yuan Shao has some merits.

As for Yuan Shao's sons, with all due respect, they might as well have just lifted their legs and thrown them to death!

I really feel sad for Yuan Benchu……"

Gongsun Zan's merciless words were more coherent than even a crossbow, pouring out the anger in his heart.

The reason why Gongsun Zan was so angry was not because he felt pity for the Yuan brothers, but he didn't expect Yuan Tan to be so useless.

When he attacked Yecheng, he originally wanted to win Yecheng quickly and cut off the Yuan brothers' escape route.

Then they made a forced landing of Yuan Tan's army outside Liyang City, and then took command of Suzhou, Hebei Province, relying on the natural dangers of the Yellow River to compete with the Cao family and his son.

In Gongsun Zan's plan, he never thought that the Liyang front line would have been lost before he captured Yecheng...

It can be said that his plan went bankrupt because of Yuan Tan's incompetence!

In this way, Cao Jun not only obtained nearly 200,000 troops under Yuan Tan's command, but also marched straight in and could reach Ye City at any time!

The enemy who was far away suddenly became very close at hand, which directly disrupted all Gongsun Zan's plans. How could Gongsun Zan not be angry?

In front of Gongsun Zan, Feng Ji looked embarrassed.

Although Gongsun Zan was criticizing Yuan Tan and Guo Tu, Feng Ji was also involved in the defeat of Liyang with 50,000 troops.

Gongsun Zan's words obviously included Feng Ji in his scolding.

Moreover, Feng Ji also complained a lot about Gongsun Zan.

Because Yuan Tan's defeat was also closely related to Gongsun Zan!

If Gongsun Zan hadn't attacked Yecheng when the Yuan brothers were facing Cao Ang, he would have almost cut off Yuan Shang's escape route.

Yuan Shang would not have to divide one hundred thousand troops to return to Yecheng.

As a result, Liyang's frontline troops were reduced by one-third, and the defensive power became insufficient.

Only then did Cao Jun seize the opportunity and cross the river to defeat him in one fell swoop!

However, he kept these words in his heart and did not dare to accuse Gongsun Zan.

After all, he was here under orders to join forces with Gongsun Zan on behalf of Yuan Shang, and he could not offend this powerful man with an army of 150,000.

So, Feng Ji took a deep breath, and then said:"The situation is already like this. Even if the general scolds the eldest son Yuan Tan, what's the use?

Although my lord Yuan and the general have indeed There were some disputes.

But it was just a fair contest in the age of great strife.

But Cao Ang used his troops like a god, beyond human ability. He was the general's and our Jizhou's great enemy!

At this juncture, the general and our lord Yuan We should share the same hatred and join forces to deal with Cao Ang.

Otherwise, when Cao Ang's army arrives, both our families will be defeated one by one, and no one will be able to keep Jizhou and the four states!"

Although Gongsun Zan was still very angry. , but after listening to Fengji’s words, his eyes became a little loose.

Obviously, I can listen to this truth, but I am still somewhat unwilling to do so.

Tian Kai, an important minister under Gongsun Zan, also took the opportunity to admonish at this moment:"My lord, what Feng Ji said is very reasonable.

Those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters. The top priority is that my lord should join forces with the Yuan family to fight against Cao's army.

This is a weak attack. The way to be strong!"

In fact, there was another sentence that Tian Kai didn't say.

That is, we must first repel Cao's army and ensure that Jizhou and the four states of Hebei are in the hands of the Yuan family, Gongsun Zan, and then fight against each other before it is too late.

If the fight with the Yuan family continues at this moment, Cao Ang will definitely benefit.

Gongsun Zan's thoughts were originally moved by Feng Ji.

Now that Tian Kai was admonishing him, he finally nodded:"Since we are facing a formidable enemy, you can report back to Yuan Shang. I am willing to join forces with him to deal with Cao Jun for the time being.

However, I am coming from afar, and the food, grass and military supplies have to be supplied by the Yuan family from Yecheng.!"

When Feng Ji saw Gongsun Zan nodding, he breathed a sigh of relief.

There was no bargaining with Gongsun Zan's conditions.

He knew the importance in his heart. As long as Gongsun Zan could join forces with the Yuan family to fight against Cao and provide some food and grass, it would be nothing.

It's better than letting Cao Ang take advantage of the Cao family after taking Yecheng.

As a peace envoy, Feng Ji also had such authority, so he made a decision on the spot and agreed to Gongsun Zan's request.

And after returning to the city at the right time, the efficiency was very fast. Yuan Jun immediately sent 300,000 stones of food and grass.

Enough for Gongsun Zan and Zhang Yan's 150,000 troops to last two months.

He also handed over a small city not far from Yecheng to Gongsun Zan and Zhang Yan as a place to station troops and food.

This small town was built temporarily to avoid the troops stationed in Fengxuetun when Yuan Tan attacked Yecheng last winter.

After the beginning of spring, Shenpei took on the important task of defending Yecheng, and also allocated manpower to reinforce the small city, making it a fortress suitable for garrisoning troops.

And these days, Shenpei guarded Yecheng with 100,000 of the hundreds of thousands of defenders, and the remaining tens of thousands were stationed with the small city as the core, which prevented Gongsun Zan from capturing it for many days.

Several times when Gongsun Zan was about to capture Yecheng, Yuan's army also attacked from that small city and harassed Gongsun Zan's flanks.

Shen Pei was allowed to hold on until Yuan Shang led his army to return for reinforcements.

Moreover, that small city and Yecheng are ten miles apart, forming a horn, and can be cited by each other.

At this moment, tens of thousands of Yuan's troops in the city withdrew and gave it to Gongsun Zan, who could echo each other.

Of course, it is impossible for both the more than 200,000 troops of Yuan Shangshen and the 150,000 troops of Gongsun Zan and Zhang Yan to be stationed in these two cities.

And in a battle to defend a city, one cannot just defend the city wall.

Otherwise, once the city wall falls, everything will be over.

Therefore, as for Yuan Jun, Yuan Shang was assisted by Feng Ji and led 100,000 troops to sit in Yecheng.

But this time, Shen Pei went out and led the remaining more than 100,000 troops and horses to form camp outside Yecheng.

And around Yecheng, trenches were dug, forts and forts were set up, and layers of defense lines were laid.

They even dug up the embankments of the Zhang River south of Yecheng and poured water from the Zhang River into the trenches, forming simple moats one after another.

Outside Yecheng, there is a piece of iron barrel for business!

These fortifications are all designed to stop Cao Ang's fine cavalry.

For Cao Jun's cavalry to arrive here, it would be like arriving at a water town in the south of the Yangtze River where water networks are crisscrossed. It would be difficult for Cao Jun to use their full strength.[]

Even Shen Pei learned this from Gongsun Zan.

When Gongsun Zan was defeated by Yuan Shao and retreated to Yijing, he built Yijing in this way. Yuan Shao spent several years trying to defeat it.

As for Gongsun Zan, the same is true.

The"student" Shen Pei even arranged the defenses in Yecheng so properly.

What's more, what about Gongsun Zan as a"teacher"?

Gongsun Zan also ran the small town as his own Yi Jing, and in just a few days, the entire defense line was built.

It is connected to the Shenpei defense line outside Yecheng.

The defensive measures of these two armies turned the area hundreds of miles outside Yecheng into a muddy swamp!

It looks like the Jedi of cavalry!

After doing this, Yuan's army and Gongsun Zan's army finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Especially Gongsun Zan, looking at the defense line stretching for hundreds of miles outside Ye City, was extremely confident:"These are all arranged according to my Yijing defense line.

At the beginning, Yuan Shao recruited the elite of Hebei and deliberately attacked for several years. I failed to take down my Yi Jing.

This time, I will also make Cao Ang and Cao Zixiu crumble in my hands!

So that the world will know that whether I, Gongsun Zan, can be extremely prosperous, I will be destined to die!"
