Although Sun Yuan had been in war for many years and the Sun family clearly had the upper hand, Yuan Shao and his subordinates did not think that the Sun family and his son would definitely defeat them. The Sun family and his son were brave and Wu Hui had elite troops. They all admitted this, but they did not agree with how many talents the Sun family and his son had.

So far, Sun Ce has recruited a number of famous scholars, Zhang Hong is one, currently guarding Nanyang, Zhang Zhao is one, and now he is the prefect of Runan. Apart from that, there are no real famous scholars. Ruying's tyrant Guo Jia can become Sun Ce's confidant, which shows that Shen You is only in his early twenties and has no experience in commanding troops before, but now he has let him command 20,000 troops. What is the difference between this and nonsense? If no one is available, why is this so?

Yuan Xi and Feng Ji both thought this was a good opportunity for them to make a name for themselves, and also a good opportunity to win a game back in the battle between Sun and Yuan. Facing the Sun father and son, they did not have this confidence, and facing Shen You, they had no reason and were not confident.

Considering that the reception of Zheng Xuan was delayed for several days and Tian Kai might break through at any time, Shen You might have landed. After Feng Ji carefully analyzed the pros and cons of both sides, he suggested that Yuan Xi set off immediately and speed up the marching speed to meet Yan Liang before Shen You arrived.

In terms of distance, the two sides are similar, but the road between Linzi and Fuzeng Mountain is smooth and easy to walk. Shen You came from the seaside, with sparsely populated areas and poor road conditions. Yuan Xi had enough livestock transportation and supplies, and more than 2,000 cavalry cover. Shen You came from afar, but there was not enough animal power available. It was likely to rely on manpower and the cavalry was very limited and could not be compared with Yuan Xi at all. Based on the forces and troops of both sides, Yuan Xi's advantage was very obvious, and the possibility of being ambushed by Shen You was infinitely close to zero.

Even if Shen You took out the limited personal guard cavalry and harassed him, he would not be the opponent of the knights under Yuan Xi, which was like a sheep entering the tiger's mouth. If Shen You did this, Yuan Xi would not mind accepting it with a smile.

After the discussion was decided, Yuan Xi immediately set out to sacrifice to the commander of the army, and swore to the army. The army set out and headed eastward in a mighty manner.

Fu Zongshan north, irrigation water east bank, Han Pavilion.

Chen Dao has been lurking here for five days, living in seclusion every day, and even the essential exercises are avoiding people. Fortunately, there are few people nearby, and except for business travel, no one will appear nearby. The pavilion chief also knows Sun Qian, who is very cooperative and saves a lot of trouble.

But the longer the time waits, the more uneasy Chen Dao felt. He thought that Yuan Xi was at most two or three days away from Yan Liang's army, and he could see Yuan Xi for only one or two days. As a result, it took five days to wait, and there was no news at all, which made him feel unsure. There could be accidents on the battlefield at any time, but accidents often realize that they made mistakes in judgment, and the original plan would be lost. The alone army could also lead to the possibility of being surrounded by the other party at any time.

Seeing the sunset set again, and the road to the west was still silent, Chen Dao sighed secretly. He decided to wait for another night, and gave up the operation before he received the news tomorrow morning, and returned to Fuzong Mountain to meet Shen You. According to the distance, Shen You should be not far from Fuzong Mountain and may fight with Yan Liang at any time. According to the estimation of Yan Liang's troops, Yan Liang has at least five or six hundred cavalry, and without the cavalry he led to participate in the battle, Shen You would be more passive.

At midnight, Chen Dao forced himself to lie down, and even if he couldn't sleep, he had to close his eyes and sleep. Although the person was lying on the couch, his ears were upright, and when the sound of horse hooves outside the pavilion sounded, he opened his eyes. The reason why he didn't get up was because there was a knight coming did not mean that there was news, maybe it was just a routine report. At the beginning, his heart would be faster and he was very excited. After several days of suffering, he had become accustomed to it.

It was not until the sound of footsteps passed through the courtyard and went upstairs, and it was very loud that Chen Dao's heartbeat began to accelerate. The scout was so hurrying, which meant that this was not a routine notice, at least something happened.

Chen Dao got up and opened the door. The scout happened to arrive at the door, sweating profusely and panting.

"Sima Chen and Yuan Xi set up camp sixty miles in Fuzeng Shanxi, with more than 20,000 infantrymen, nearly 3,000 cavalrymen, two or three thousand baggage vehicles, most of which were ox carts, all filled with full capacity, and they looked rich."

Chen Dao couldn't help laughing, turned around and took the sword from the head of the bed, and said while walking out, "Thank you for your hard work in the scout camp. If you succeed in this battle, you will definitely receive a reward." He knocked on the railing with the sword and shouted loudly: "Send the order, everyone gets up and sets off within a quarter of an hour."

The knights on duty on the corner tower immediately rang out the gladiator. With the crisp sound of the fight, the entire Han Pavilion immediately became lively. The doors opened, and knights came out one by one and rushed to the stables in the backyard. Like Chen Dao, they were all lying in their clothes, with weapons hanging on the head of the bed, ready to set off at any time. Only the war horses were unsad, which took some time.

Sun Gan rushed out of the room next to him and rushed to Chen Dao while wearing his belt. "General, is there any news?"

"There's news." Chen Dao couldn't control his joy. "Yuan Xi is here."

"Thank God, he finally came." Sun Gan was very excited. Yuan Xi came, and Chen Dao had not waited in vain for the past few days. If he had the opportunity to burn Yuan Xi's baggage, he would have seized the opportunity in this battle. Chen Dao had made contributions and he also made contributions. If it weren't for him, Chen Dao would not have come here to hide. If he wasn't in the wild, it would not only be easy to be discovered by Yan Liang's scouts, but also the food and grass needed by the soldiers and war horses would also be a big problem. Hiding in Hanting, he not only helped Chen Dao solve these problems, but also made excuses to collect two hundred horses from nearby Duchang County as pack horses, which could greatly save the strength of the war horses.

A quarter of an hour later, two hundred knights and five hundred horses left the humble house and galloped southwest. Sun Gan, who was familiar with the terrain, was guided by the scouts, and Chen Dao and his party arrived near Yuan Xi's camp at the time of Yin and joined the knights who stayed here. Chen Dao ordered the knights to dismount and rest and prepare for the pre-war preparations, while communicating with the scouts, while approaching and observing.

Before the war, you can not only get first-hand information, but also adjust your mentality. It is better to see it than to hear it. Checking the terrain yourself can make the commander more confident in his own tactical deployment and not hesitate.

Looking at the quiet camp in the distance, Chen Dao was secretly happy. Yuan Xi was relieved. Although there were scouts, the scouts were very relaxed, and they were still sixty miles away from the battlefield. They obviously did not believe that Shen You would bypass Yan Liang and attack them.

Of course, if it weren't for Sun Ce's killing weapon, Chen Dao wouldn't have made such a decision. With two hundred cavalry attacking the camp, the possibility of success is not high. Even if he succeeds by chance, the possibility of being bitten by the other party is very high. Anyone who is a little rational would not do this unless he has to.

After inspecting Yuan Xi's camp, Chen Dao returned to the front of the knights. The knights looked at him, and their eyes shone under the illumination of a few torches. Chen Dao smiled slightly. "The prey slept very well, and the hunting began."

"Here!" the knights answered in unison, checking their weapons and war horses for the last time. A group of knights surrounded in the middle unloaded their bags from the backs of the pack horses, spread them on the ground, and took out large pieces of armor from it, wearing armor for the war horses that had been marching in the air. In a blink of an eye, the fifty strongest war horses were all covered with armor. Although they stood still, they exuded a cold murderous aura, which made people shudder.

Sun Gan Ruru woke up in her dream, surprised and happy. "General, is this the rumored horse armor?"
