Chapter 160
Yuwen Chengdu and Gongsun Zan started a brief confrontation between Yanxiang and Lingqiu.

During the confrontation, the two sides tacitly avoided the link of going to the opposing camp to fight.

Gongsun Zan was very self-aware, knowing that none of his generals could match Yuwen Chengdu's in strength, so he didn't dare to send people to humiliate himself, lest it affect the morale of his army.

Yuwen Chengdu thought the same as Gongsun Zan. He knew the level of the generals under Gongsun Zan's command, and he knew that even if he went, the opponent would not dare to go out to fight, so there was no need to waste time doing things that would not get any response.

With the army outside, the consumption of food and grass is very huge. Liu Bian sits in the land of two states, and counties such as Le Lang continue to deliver food and grass to the front line.

However, Gongsun Zan, who only owns two counties, is far from being so lucky. Now that Shanggu and Dai counties have been isolated by Liu Bian's army, food and grass cannot be sent to the front line at all. Already like a frightened bird, he would become the target of Liu Bian's army at any time. Therefore, Gongsun Zan, who was eating his laurels, had no choice at all.

As the old saying goes, even the landlord’s family has no surplus food.

Yuan Shao and Han Fu were at odds with each other, and they all had selfish motives. Although Yuan Shao wanted to use Gongsun Zan to weaken Liu Bian's strength, his character determined that he could not give Gongsun Zan too much support and help. After sending people to deliver food and grass to Gongsun Zan twice, he pushed the burden of delivering food and grass to Han Fu.

Han Fu was afraid of Yuan Shao's family affairs, so he also sent someone to deliver some food to Gongsun Zan, but it was only once. When Gongsun Zan sent someone to Han Fu again to urge food, Han Fu was willing to play tricks with him at first. After shirking the spring plowing, there was not much food in the treasury, and later Han Fu simply played with the other party and thanked the guests behind closed doors.

The people Gongsun Zan sent to urge the food didn't even see Han Fu's face.

From then on, Gongsun Zan finally recognized the faces of Yuan Shao and Han Fu, and scolded Yuan Shao for being a bastard who could only talk about big cakes.

Although Yuan Shao does have many shortcomings, he is not stupid at all.

Yuan Shao deliberately pushed the matter of supplying food and grass to Gongsun Zan to Han Fu. In fact, he made two-handed preparations. If Han Fu followed his words, it would have the effect of weakening Liu Bian's strength. He took the opportunity to attack him, thus taking Jizhou into his pocket in one fell swoop.

Compared with weakening Liu Bian's strength, Yuan Shao's desire for Jizhou was even greater than the former, because at that time, Jizhou was definitely known as the existence of the world's richest, Jizhou's population was the largest in the world, and the money and food were abundant. There are enough soldiers, if you can take Jizhou as your own, then Yuan Shao can go into battle in person and fight Liu Bian with swords and guns.

"It's better to ask for others than to ask for yourself. After someone takes Jizhou into his pocket, his strength will definitely surpass the princes. At that time, great things will be accomplished!" This is the portrayal of Yuan Shao's current mood.

Just when Gongsun Zan and Yuwen Chengdu led the army to confront each other in Yanxiang and Lingqiu, the conflict between the Kwantung Allied Forces with different thoughts reached a critical point, and Gongsun Zan led the army to leave, and finally became the last one that overwhelmed the camels. a straw.

Yuan Shao was eager to lead his army back to attack Han Fu, so he was no longer thinking about the matter of begging Dong Fuhan, and finally broke out a very fierce conflict with Cao Cao on the issue of whether to continue to pursue Dong Zhuo's army, and this conflict eventually became The fuse that led to the disbandment of the coalition forces.

Cao Cao yelled at Yuan Shao and the others for being mediocre people with a corpse and a vegetarian diet, and immediately led his army to leave the camp and pursue Dong Zhuo's army alone.

A few days later, the coalition forces received news of Cao Cao's defeat, and this directly became the main reason for the coalition's disbandment.

Since then, Han Fu, Sun Jian, Tao Qian and others have successively led their troops away from the coalition forces, and the originally powerful coalition forces of princes ended up hastily in such a dramatic way. It's embarrassing.

But Gongsun Zan, who couldn't get food and grass, had to make a passive choice in the end, and could only decide his own destiny through a quick decision.

Gongsun Zan's greatest reliance was the world-famous Baima Yicong, so he personally commanded the entire army to march out fifty miles east of Lingqiu, intending to fight Yuwen Chengdu to the death.

In fact, Gongsun Zan also kept a fluke mentality. Before he led his army out of the camp, he had a conversation with his staff. The decisive battle between the local government and Baima Yicong is purely courting death.

However, Yuwen Chengdu's actions were beyond everyone's expectations. Not only did they lead their troops out, but the key people also took the initiative to lead their troops to charge against their own formation.

Looking at the galloping cavalry on the opposite side, Gongsun Zan blinked in confusion, and thought, "What's going on here?"

Under Yuwen Chengdu's coercion and lure, Tuoba Jiefen finally reluctantly agreed that the Xianbei cavalry would take the lead in the charge, while the Han army cavalry would follow behind the Xianbei cavalry as the second echelon to charge Gongsun Zan's army.

Most of the Xianbei cavalry are based on light cavalry. Most of their offensive routines are to shoot a shot and change places (run away after shooting).

Therefore, what Gongsun Zan is currently presented with is a cavalry unit with an extremely loose formation. In Gongsun Zan's view, such an opponent is simply an experience package that comes up to give away a head.

After a moment of astonishment, Gongsun Zan immediately laughed and gave the order to charge to Bai Ma Yicong who was lined up neatly behind him.

After Sanqian Baima Yicong received the order to charge, his movements were uniform when he rode his horse out of the battle, and his military appearance was very neat. Even the movements of waving the whip and carrying weapons fell in the eyes of others, which made people feel very pleasing to the eye.

Yuwen Chengdu raised his head and glanced at Baima Yicong, who was in an undisturbed formation when charging, and couldn't help sighing, "It's a pity that such a good cavalry unit is about to be annihilated under the iron hooves of our army."

After Yuwen Chengdu finished speaking, he tightened the phoenix wings in his hand, glanced sideways at Anlu Mountain, and reminded him: "The opponent is a well-trained cavalry unit. After the battle, you must be careful." To deal with it, we must not give birth to the heart of underestimating the enemy."

"promise."

An Lushan nodded solemnly.

Gongsun Zan hid his figure in the army formation very aggressively, not daring to easily expose himself in front of Yuwen Chengdu, lest he be targeted by the opponent.

In marching and fighting, the best strategy is to use one's own strengths and attack the other's weaknesses.

With a powerful cavalry unit like Baima Yicong, Gongsun Zan felt that he was sure of winning, so he didn't want to risk his life.
