This time, Yuan Shao sent two tiger generals, Yan Liang and Wen Chou. In his opinion, he would definitely be able to break through the Yewang City and achieve its strategic goal. In order to get the position of general and to be able to use the emperor to command the princes, he has now given his promise and placed all his hopes here at all costs.

"Yan Liang and Wen Chou have never fought together. This standard treatment has never been before. I believe that they can definitely break through the Yewang City when they fight together. Pei Qing, I heard that you have planned your life and have never experienced a battle, but this time I will let you taste the feeling of defeat."

Yuan Shao was quite sure in his heart. In his opinion, Xun You could not resist such a powerful force this time.

However, not long afterwards, he heard that Pei Qing also sent reinforcements to Hanoi, but the number was only 2,000.

After hearing the news, Yuan Shao couldn't help laughing secretly, because his Wen Chou brought 10,000 people. Although he was reinforced at the same time, this would increase the gap in the forces between the two sides. How could Pei Qing have the possibility of victory in this situation?

"Hehe, Pei Qing, you are young after all, and your knowledge is still not enough. You despise me so much. Can you know the consequences of doing so? But once the situation is beneficial to me, even if you regret it, it will be useless. I believe you are the next Dong Zhuo and Li Jue Guo Si. At that time, I will join the court as a great hero who recreates the country, and use the emperor to command the princes, and the king's career will be accomplished."

However, Yuan Shao still underestimated Pei Qing's two thousand people, because these two thousand people were all soldiers of Pei Qing's personal military camp, each of whom was in battle and extremely brave. His basic qualities were not an exaggeration even if he was the best elite soldiers in the world. In addition, Xu Chu and Fan Lin, two powerful generals with slightly higher military power than Yan Liang and Wen Chou, will only make the situation on the front line even more unfavorable to Yuan Shao.

So the battle reports on the front line came like snowflakes, almost all of which were unfavorable to Yuan Shao.

"On September 15th, our army attacked the city in large numbers. General Yan Liang and Wen Chou personally supervised the battle. General Wen Chou led his army to the city to fight. After three hours of the bandits resisted, our army lost more than 3,000 people and was unable to fight again. General Wen fought against the enemy general Xu Chu on the top of the city, and was at a disadvantage. Because he could not support himself, he had to withdraw his troops."

"On September 17th, our army attacked the city again. General Wen Chou supervised the battle. General Yan Liang personally climbed the city to fight and led his army to attack the city at one time. However, the bandit army fought desperately, and our army lost more than 4,000 people. General Yan encountered general Fan Lin, a thief army, and fought fiercely for more than a hundred battles without a chance of winning or losing. General Yan retreated because of his cowardice. In this battle, our army killed more than 80 generals above the army, including seven lieutenants, two rank generals, and one leniency general..."

"What? Yan Liang and Wen Chou can't get any advantage in front of Xu Chu and Fan Lin? How could this happen? They are the most famous brave generals in the world. Could it be that there are so many powerful generals under Pei Qing's command? This is incredible, right?"

It was not until now that Yuan Shao finally realized that Pei Qing didn't dare to challenge him. It turned out that his strength had accumulated to such a deep level. It's a pity that he knew nothing about these things and thought that Pei Qing had just relied on luck to gain his current foundation.

The damage in this battle also shocked Yuan Shao. In this battle, more than 80 generals of the military marquis and above were killed, including seven lieutenants, two generals of the Central Army, and one general. You should know that the military positions of the lieutenants and above are the backbone of the army. Even if he has many capable people under his command, so many losses make him feel unbearable. The General of the Central Army was even more comparable to the prefect, and two were killed. The level of the general was able to surpass the prefect, but he was a confidant. One of them died.

The dead general was Yuan Shao's general, Lu Weihuang, who was entrusted with important tasks and appointed as the Prime Minister of Qinghe. However, such a person actually died on the battlefield in the Hanoi field, which is really touching.

The subsequent battle report made Yuan Shao even more shocking.

"On September 20, when our army was siege, the bandit army took the initiative to go out of the city to fight. They opened the North City Gate and launched a sudden attack on the soldiers besieging our North City Gate. Our army caught us off guard. In addition, the enemy soldiers fought bravely. Our army lost more than 3,000 people in this battle, and the general was captured..."

"What? Even Qianzhao was captured?" Yuan Shao was shocked, because Qianzhao was not an ordinary person. Although his courage was not as good as Zhang He Gaolan, his command was even worse than Qu Yi. However, this man was very calm and decisive when he should be decisive. He was the best among the younger generation of Yuan Shao's army. He originally thought that after training, he could become a famous general, but he did not expect to become a prisoner of the enemy.

"It seems that I was indeed a little blindly confident and too optimistic before. Now I should re-understand the situation in Hanoi. However, Yan Liang and Wen Chou are still there, and our army still firmly takes the initiative. We can't be so pessimistic. I believe Yan Liang and Wen Chou will definitely not disappoint me."

Yuan Shao still did not give up in his heart. He was waiting for good news to come from Yan Liang and Wen Chou.

However, the development of the matter did not make people as expected. The news that followed was even more worrying: "On September 23, the bandits went against the norm. After launching an active attack on our army, because our army was not prepared, the bandits directly climbed over the city wall and entered the city, and launched a fierce attack on our barracks. Thousands of soldiers were killed in the formation. The two generals of Yan Liang and Wen Chou hurriedly led their troops to resist and opened the city gate to escape. However, the enemy set up an ambush in front of them. The two generals were surrounded and could not escape for a long time. Life and death were unknown. I beg the lord to send troops to rescue them immediately, otherwise the two generals would be in danger of their lives..."

After hearing this news, Yuan Shao was shocked. Yan Liang and Wen Chou were his confidant generals and his signature generals. If these two people were in danger, people's hearts would definitely collapse. At that time, even if Yuan Shao wanted to maintain the stable situation in Hebei, it would be impossible.

"For the sake of the current plan, I am the only one who personally leads the troops to rescue him. No matter what the price this time, I swear to rescue Yan Liang and Wen Chou. However, before that, we must first send an excellent army to relieve Yan Liang and Wen Chou's siege. If it is delayed for a moment, they may be in danger. If they make a mistake, which one in our army is worth relying on?"

Yuan Shao thought about it carefully. Only Qu Yi was the only one who had the ability to save Yan Liang and Wen Chou. Although Qu Yi was not as famous as Yan Liang and Wen Chou, he had great military achievements throughout his life, and he was even more important than Yan Liang and Wen Chou's contribution. However, Qu Yi is very arrogant now, and Yuan Shao was also afraid of his great achievements. However, it is now a critical moment for life and death, and Yuan Shao can't take care of that much.

But the result was indeed not disappointed Yuan Shao. Qu Yi immediately put forward his own conditions and rescued Yan Liang and Wen Chou, but Yuan Shao needed to become the governor of Qingzhou.
