Yecheng. 30,000 Yuan troops lined up in the south of the city, large and small military formations, arranged in an orderly manner, battle flags fluttering, swords and armor.
A grand drill of soldiers and horses is underway.
Yuan Shao, who was in golden armor, stood on top of the tall city tower, holding his sword proudly, looking at his morale of the male soldiers, and nodded with satisfaction.
"The morale of our army is gradually recovering, as long as the second son captures Liyang and cuts off the back road of the pottery thief, the lord can wave his army to the south and wipe out the pottery thief in one fell swoop."
Xun Chen beside him said with a smile, not forgetting to remind Yuan Xi of the importance.
"I didn't expect that the key role in the end would be Xi'er" Yuan Shao nodded and said with emotion, with a bit of admiration in his eyes.
Xun Chen took the opportunity to say again: "The second son is low-key, he will only bury his head in things, in fact, he is very capable, otherwise how can he take care of Qingzhou in an orderly manner over the years." ” "Well, that's what you're talking about."
Yuan Shao nodded slightly, and said thoughtfully: "Among the sons, Xi'er is indeed the most down-to-earth one, it seems that I really didn't pay attention to him in the past, if he can force the pottery thief back this time, I really want to be impressed by him." ” Yuan Shao's words have made no secret of his appreciation for Yuan Xi.
Xun Chen was secretly proud, but the judge next to him quietly snorted coldly, showing disapproval.
"Tao thief, Tao thief, you killed one of my incompetent sons, but let me discover another better son, with my Shang'er and Xi'er joining forces, I see how long you can be arrogant" The more Yuan Shao thought about it, the more proud he became, and his old face gradually regained its glory, and he smiled slightly.
"Report" a scout rushed to the city and worshiped Yuan Shao, "My lord, the south is urgent, the pottery thief has attacked the plain a few days ago, killed the guard Jiao Touch, and the second prince has no choice but to lead more than 10,000 defeated soldiers to retreat to Nanpi. ” The smile disintegrated, the smug disintegrated, and Yuan Shao's face instantly solidified into a stunned moment.
Xun Chen also changed color in shock, with a look of disbelief, and shouted: "How is this possible, how can the pottery thief easily attack the plain, this is unreasonable, unreasonable." ” The scout had no choice but to report the detailed battle report.
Xun Chen suddenly realized, stunned in place, and was so stunned that he didn't know what to do.
"Waste, it turns out that he is the same as his eldest brother, all of them are waste" Yuan Shao slammed his fist against the female wall and scolded hatefully, the previous impression of Yuan Xi was gone.
"The second son's ability is mediocre, it's okay to defend the city, let him lead the troops to deal with the pottery thieves, and the defeat is also expected."
The judge shook his head and sighed, a subtle sneer flashed in his eyes, "Now that the plain has been lost, the plan to copy the pottery thief's side has been completely lost, and for today's plan, I can only hope that the third prince will be able to turn the tide." ” "I can only look at Shang'er, Shang'er, you must not be like your two incompetent brothers, let your father down again" Yuan Shao let out a long sigh of helplessness, his eyes looked south, and his face was full of bitterness.
Anseong.
"My second brother, as expected, is also a waste, Li Yang failed to sneak attack, but was attacked by pottery thieves in the lair, it is really a waste."
In the lobby of the county government, Yuan Shang threw the piece of information on the desk, and his words were full of ridicule of his second brother.
"Therefore, among the sons of the lord, only the third prince is qualified to inherit the inheritance of the lord, and here is to convey the lord's expectations for the third prince, the lord said, all the hopes are pinned on the third prince, and only you can turn the tide."
Feng Ji smiled and patted the fart.
Yuan Shang's anger subsided for a while, listening to Feng Ji's compliment, and a trace of pride overflowed on his heroic face.
After only a moment of pride, Yuan Shang's face became worried again, and he sighed: "Father Shuai trusts me so much, it is naturally very good, but now that the pottery thief has captured the plain, and the entire Qingzhou has been taken by him, the morale will definitely be greatly boosted, and the pressure I will face here must be multiplied." ” Seeing that Yuan Shang's confidence was insufficient, Zhang He encouraged: "The third prince doesn't need to worry too much, as long as I Zhang He is here, the pottery thief will not want to break through my Ancheng, as long as he stays up for a few more months, Sun Ce Liu Biao in the south, and Cao Cao in the west will definitely not sit idly by, and when the world changes, are you still afraid that the pottery thief will not retreat." ” Hearing Zhang He's bold words, Yuan Shang's confidence perked up slightly, so he patted Zhang He's shoulder and said: "General Zhang, you are the most trusted general of this son, and the heavy responsibility of defending the city is all handed over to you, you must not let this son down." ” "He will do everything he can."
Zhang He hurriedly expressed his attitude.
The sound of hurried footsteps broke the conversation between their chief ministers, and a personal soldier hurried in and said, "Second Prince, General Zhang, the pottery thief sent an envoy to shoot a letter of challenge to the city, claiming that General Zhang would fight in front of the city at dusk. ” The potter actually asked to fight Zhang He In the lobby, everyone was in an uproar, and even the face of Feng Ji, a wise man, was suspicious.
You must know that although Zhang He's force value is not as good as Yan Liangwen's, he is also in his early 90s, and the potter wants to single-handedly challenge Zhang He with the body of Liang Gong, what arrogance this is.
"The pottery thief's handwritten book is here, please take a look at General Zhang."
The pro-army sent a letter to him.
Zhang He took it and swept it, and his face suddenly became angry.
In the challenge book, the pottery thief is extremely arrogant, satirizing Zhang He if he does not dare to come to the battle and surrender the city, otherwise the day the city is broken, he will be killed and destroyed.
This blatant contempt was unbearable for any bloody general, and Zhang He was immediately furious.
But everyone didn't know what was written in the potter's letter, which made Zhang He angry to such an extent.
Yuan Shang remembered the previous time, the letter that had been "smeared" by Zhang He, and suddenly became suspicious, and secretly stared at the letter in Zhang He's hand, thinking about how to get this letter in his hand and see what was suspicious in it.
At this time, Zhang He, who was furious, tore the letter in his hand to shreds, and said angrily: "What a pottery thief, dare to despise me Zhang He so much, I will take your challenge, it is you who are arrogant and sent to death, I just took your head, and I finished it in one battle." ” Yuan Shang watched Zhang He tear the letter to shreds, but the suspicion in his eyes was even heavier.
At this time, Feng Ji persuaded: "General Zhang is angry, the pottery thief is treacherous, who knows what tricks he has for this challenge, I think the general should ignore it." ” "If I don't dare to go to war, won't I make the pottery thief laugh at my cowardice and frustrate the morale of our army," Zhang He glared and said, "Besides, what tricks can the pottery thief play with a single riding general, this is a great opportunity for us to kill him in one fell swoop, how can we miss it." ” Feng Ji stopped talking, he couldn't think of what tricks the potter could play, and he felt that what Zhang He said was reasonable, this was indeed a great opportunity to kill the potter.
"Third son, please allow me to fight, I will cut off the head of the pottery thief for my son."
Zhang He pleaded with Yuan Shang.
Yuan Shang's heart moved, and his eyes only flashed with a trace of excitement, obviously also moved by Zhang He's heart.
As Zhang He said, the potter is so arrogant that he dares to single out Zhang He, which is indeed a great opportunity to finish his work.
If Zhang He can kill the pottery merchants, the Liang army will collapse, and he will make immortal achievements for the Yuan family, who can shake his identity as the prince of the Yuan family.
Yuan Xi, that waste, he's just a joke.
After thinking about it again and again, Yuan Shang waved his hand and said coldly: "Okay, the pottery thief is so arrogant and seeks his own death, then General Zhang will go and cut off his dog head for me, as long as you can kill the pottery thief, this kind of miracle will be shared with you." ” "The last will obey."
Zhang He went excitedly to prepare for the fighter.
Looking at the departing Zhang He, the trust and generosity on Yuan Shang's face quietly dispersed, and doubts appeared in his eyes again.
Unconsciously, it was nearly dusk.

In the camp of the Liang army, a group of men and horses slowly left the city and drove in the direction of Ancheng.
The potter sat on his crotch and fought on his horse, carrying a war knife, wearing a red cloak, and a black armor reflecting the faint cold light, and his power was unparalleled.
Followed by Jing Ke, the commander of the pro-soldiers, wearing armor and swords, leading more than 30 elite pro-troops, protecting the left and right.
"Although Liang Gong's plan is wonderful, it's just that Zhang He is good at martial arts, and Liang Gong is only afraid of some risks when he goes."
Jing Ke couldn't help but remind.
The potter smiled disapprovingly, "Although Zhang He's martial arts are strong, my father's martial arts are not weak, it is not a problem to fight with him for dozens of moves, with you Jing Ke here, are you afraid that you will not be able to save me." ” The potter's tone was full of confidence, as if everything was under control.
Jing Ke's face couldn't help but show awe, and he said happily: "Liang Gong is bold, I can't wait, Jing Ke will accompany Liang Gong to complete this plan." ” The potter laughed loudly, patted his horse and walked forward, and more than 30 people and horses rode until he reached Anseong.
Although the pottery merchant is wise and brave, he is not arrogant, and he invited Zhang He to ride a single fighter, naturally with other intentions.
In front, the south gate of Ancheng was wide open, and dozens of horses galloped out, and a big banner with the word "Zhang" flew proudly.
"Liang Gong is like a god, Zhang He was really angered and sent to the door."
Jing Ke sighed.
Tao Shang said lightly: "Zhang Henai is a Hebei general, although he has been defeated repeatedly, he is still a hero in the end, he is so unbearable as I have said in my war book, if he does not come to fight, he will let my father underestimate him." ” As he spoke, the potters reined in their horses, more than a hundred steps away from the enemy city.
A moment later, Zhang He rode his horse, with only dozens of horses around him, and his horse was fifty paces away.
At the head of the city, Yuan Shang and Feng Ji and others have also arrived in the city, wanting to see the scene when Zhang He beheaded the head of the pottery merchant.
The pottery merchant took the lead in walking out of the army, one person and one rode slowly forward, towering like an iron tower, proudly facing the oncoming Zhang Hezhong, facing the tens of thousands of Yuan soldiers who watched the battle at the head of the city.
The potter's arrogant move was clearly a provocation to Zhang He.
"This potter, the courage is outstanding" Even Zhang He nodded secretly, a trace of appreciation passed in his heart, and without saying a word, he also turned his horse out.
The two riders were seven paces apart and stopped moving.
Zhang He stared at the potter, no matter how he looked at it, he was just a gentleman, but he couldn't understand how such a guy could accomplish all kinds of earth-shattering miracles, and now he forced the Yuan family to such a point.
In Zhang He's eyes, in addition to hostility, there was also a bit of suspicion.
The potter took a light breath and bowed his hand slightly: "My father has long admired the name of General Zhang, and I have fought several times before, but I didn't have the opportunity to see the general's demeanor face to face, and today I finally have the opportunity to meet." ” The potter changed the disdain in the challenge book, and actually complimented Zhang He, with such a tone and expression, as if from the bottom of his heart.
Zhang Heben was still annoyed by the arrogance and disdain of the potter, but these few compliments made him feel very respectful, his heart was extremely comfortable, and the hostility on his face suddenly disappeared a little.
He smiled and returned the salute to the potter, "Liang Gong is serious, Liang Gong has defeated the princes of the world in a few years, and now he has forced my Hebei to this point, he is really the hero of the world, and he also admires Liang Gong very much." ” The potter immediately complimented again: "General Zhang made great contributions to Yuan Benchu's capture of Hebei, and now Bengong led the army to the north, and among the generals in Hebei, others are not in their eyes, but they are afraid of you General Zhang." ” In a few words, the potter actually regarded Zhang He as the pillar of the sky in Hebei, and Zhang He was extremely comfortable to listen to, and he was faintly a little fluttering. isjgy:
