    (Thanks to brother free, brother gyz, and brother mr for the reward. It just broke out yesterday, and the captain had to take a breath, but the plot is still exciting, continue to ask for favorites and votes)

    The 2,000 Cao troops who stayed behind in Wancheng were already in panic. When Yan Liang and his group of cavalrymen with high morale rushed forward, they were killed in a matter of seconds until ghosts cried and wolves howled, and they surrendered.

    When night falls, Yan Liang has completely controlled Wancheng.

    Wancheng is worthy of being the largest city in Nanyang County. Regardless of the size and population of the city, it is far better than Xinye.

    After nightfall, Yan Liang was sitting in the rich and magnificent prefect's mansion in Wancheng, drinking all the fine wine stored in the mansion to reward the victorious soldiers.

    The generals have won consecutive victories recently, and now they have captured Wancheng. Their morale is getting stronger and stronger, and they are all in high spirits. They drank to the fullest in this banquet.

    As a prisoner, Cao Hong was also honored to be present this time.

    Now that Cao Cao is no longer Yan Liang¡¯s biggest enemy, Yan Liang wants to unite with Cao to fight against Yuan, and Cao Hong is very obedient and deceives him into opening the Wancheng gate. Naturally, Yan Liang should be kind to this general of the Cao clan.

    During the banquet, Cao Hong could only look sad and forced a smile.

    Yan Liang drank so much that night that he didn't know when he got drunk. When he woke up the next day, it was already three o'clock in the morning.

    After the other party finished washing, Si Wencao sent the latest information. It was said that Yuan Shao sent the Yueqi forward general Wen Chou, the eldest son of the shogunate Shi Yuan Tan, and the middle base superintendent of the army to act as marching Sima Guo Tu to send the infantry and cavalry.  Twenty thousand, sent from Xudu, came to kill Benwan City at Zhengxing night.

    When Yan Liang heard this information, he couldn't help but frown.

    It is not surprising that Yuan Shao sent troops to fight for Wancheng. What surprised Yan Liang was that Yuan Shao actually sent 20,000 soldiers and horses, and among them was Wen Chou, who was no less brave than himself.

    At present, Yan Liang's total force is about 15,000 people, of which the elite are 6,000 infantry cavalry including Shenxing Cavalry and Tiefutu.

    In order to seize Wancheng, Yan Liang has mobilized all 6,000 troops and horses, among which the infantry commanded by Gan Ning is still on the way to Wancheng.

    Although Yuan Shao's troops are not as elite as Cao Cao's, they are not inferior to his own army.

    Six thousand versus twenty thousand, in terms of military strength, Yan Liang is obviously at a considerable disadvantage.

    "That old trickster Jia Xu is indeed right. Yuan Shao attaches great importance to me. It seems that this time he can win by surprise"

    Yan Liangliang was thinking about it, so he sent an order to Gan Ning, ordering his infantry to speed up and rush to Wancheng.

    Then, Yan Liang took more than ten riders out of the city to survey the terrain near Wancheng.

    As a general, you can know the weather and the time, the people and the people, but you must not know the favorable location.

    Yan Liang circled Wancheng for several miles, and finally climbed up to a small hill on the northeast side and looked around at the situation.

    A bit of strange color gradually passed through the condensed hawk's eyes.

    "Zifeng, if you were the commander-in-chief of Yuan Jun, where would you choose to set up camp?" Yan Liang suddenly asked.

    Zhou Cang next to him looked around, raised his finger and said: "Yuan's army is coming from the east, so they will definitely take the east gate of Wancheng as their main attack direction. In my opinion, the northeastern area is the most suitable for setting up camp."

    Under the supervision of Yan Liang, Zhou Cang has always studied the art of war. Recently, he has also become quite proficient in marching, setting up formations, and setting up camps.

    "Very good, it seems that your recent military reading has not been in vain." Yan Liang nodded slightly and praised.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­

    Yan Liang stopped talking and looked at the area pointed by Zhou Cang. There was a profound light in his eagle eyes, and he was secretly thinking about the strategy of using troops.

    After pondering for a long time, Yan Liang's frown relaxed, and a suddenly bright smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

    He then asked again: "Now that 20,000 elite troops from Yuan's army are coming, Zifeng, what do you think our army should do in response?"

    "No matter how many Yuan's troops there are, there is nothing to fear. The general is willing to lead his army to fight to the death with Yuan's troops." Zhou Cang answered without hesitation, full of pride.

    Zhou Cang is still the same Zhou Cang, extremely brave, but still lacks some wisdom.

    Yan Liang sighed secretly, but smiled and said: "Zifeng, I know that you are not afraid of death, but you have to remember that the art of military use requires the combination of oddity and rightness. Killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred to oneself is a rough and rude way of fighting."  The law should never be used lightly unless absolutely necessary.¡±

    "Meet you."

    Zhou Cang was not unhappy at being taught by Yan Liang, but he said with a confused look on his face: "I'm sorry for my foolish words, but I don't know how the general plans to respond to the enemy?"

    "One word - dig."

      "Dig?"

    What other tricks could Zhou Cang have for Yan Liang, but he didn't want to just hear the word "dig", and couldn't help but feel more and more confused.

    When he was about to ask more questions, Yan Liang had already laughed and rode down the mountain, looking towards Wancheng.

    "General Yan's resourcefulness is truly unfathomable. How can I, my stupid brain, figure it out"

    Zhou Cang murmured in his heart and quickly chased after him.

    ? ######

    Two days later, twenty miles northeast of Wancheng.

    The mighty team was walking slowly along the south-bound road.

    A large flag with the word "Yuan" fluttering in the wind is extremely dazzling.

    Yuan Tan rode a tall horse, marching slowly among thousands of troops, and he was even more arrogant.

    Since he led his army southward from Xudu, all the cities he passed through such as Xiangcheng, Kunyang, Yexian, Duyang and so on were defeated by the wind.

    Those civil and military officials in Cao Tong District who were fighting independently heard that the eldest son of the Yuan family came with the remaining power of the victory in Guandu. Most of them took the initiative to go out of the city for more than ten miles to surrender without waiting for the arrival of Yuan's troops.

    It is not an exaggeration to describe Yuan Tan's move south this time as overwhelming.

    Every time he won a city, Yuan Tan would send people to Xudu to report their merits to his father Yuan Shao. In his opinion, it didn't matter whether these cities surrendered voluntarily or were captured with troops. What was important was that he could use this to establish  His achievements further surpassed his younger brother Yuan Shang who guarded Yecheng.

    "My eldest son, Wancheng is twenty miles ahead, and it has been captured by Yan Liang."

    A horse scout came galloping over, interrupting Yuan Tan's reverie. A bit of surprise could not help but show on his originally high-spirited face.

    He immediately questioned: "Wancheng is the most fortified city in Nanyang. How could Yan Liang capture it so quickly? Could it be that the defenders of Cao surrendered on their own initiative?"

    "It is said that Cao's army did not surrender on its own initiative, but was deceived by Yan Liang into opening the city gate and capturing it."

    Hearing what the scout said, Yuan Tan's surprised face became even more angry.

    The defeat on the outskirts of Xudu made Yuan Tan, who had always been confident, deeply ashamed. Although afterwards, with the advice of Guo Tu and others, he shifted the responsibility to the deceased Chun Yuqiong and Wen Chou's unfavorable support, Yuan Tan's tone  But couldn't swallow it.

    So he tried his best to persuade Yuan Shao to lead his army to seize Wancheng first, and then go south to wipe out Yan Liang.

    The crowds in the cities along the way made him think that the Cao army in Wancheng must be waiting to surrender to his Yuan family, so he did not rush forward, but what surprised him now was that Yan Liang actually captured Wancheng first.

    In Yuan Tan's heart, he hated Yan Liang even more.

    The sound of horse hooves sounded, and Wen Chou came galloping towards him.

    As he drew his horse closer, Wen Chou cupped his hands and said, "My lord, I heard that Wancheng has been captured by Yan Liang, and that the other party's reluctance to work is not conducive to our army. I think it is better to call in the army and station it in Duyang. After ascertaining the strength of Wancheng, we can then  Think long term.¡±

    Wen Chou knew that Yan Liang was very good, so he had to show his calm side.

    Yuan Tan snorted coldly, "Our army is several times larger than the enemy's, so what's the point of fear even if someone surnamed Yan seizes Wancheng?"

    "But General, Yan Liang"

    Wen Chou wanted to persuade him again, but Yuan Tan waved his hand and said: "General Wen, when you were in front of your father, you have always opposed sending troops to attack Yan Liang. Now that the traitor is right in front of you, you have repeatedly blocked my son from entering the army. Who are you?"  What's your intention?"

    Hearing this, Wen Chou's expression immediately changed.
