"This will not only make Cao Cao unclear about our army's situation, but also boost the morale of the soldiers in the army. If they attack the city, we will defend the city to the death."

Yuan Shao nodded when he heard Guo Tu's words, and said to Yan Liang:

"Gongji! This time you go out of the city to meet the enemy, you must not love to fight. When you hear Mingjin withdrawing troops, quickly lead your troops back to the city. If you dare to disobey orders, come back and see how I can punish you!"

Yan Liang was happy when he heard that his lord agreed to go out of the city to meet the enemy, so he nodded quickly and said:

"Please rest assured, my lord, if my lord orders Ming Jin to retreat, I will never delay for a moment!"

Yuan Shao nodded after hearing Yan Liang's words, and said:

"Okay! Then order Yan Liang to lead an army of 20 out of the city to face the enemy!"

Yan Liang didn't want to delay for a moment when he received the master's order, so he turned around and left the room to dispatch troops.

Yuan Shao and the others were worried, and followed them to the city wall. Yuan Shao looked at the enemy army below, and asked the person beside him:

"How many soldiers and horses did Cao Cao send here?"

The school lieutenant, when he heard his lord asking himself, answered:

"My lord, when they came just now, I probably clicked. The enemy army under the city probably has less than 30 soldiers and horses!"

Yuan Shao felt a little relieved when he heard what the guarding captain said. If Cao Cao sent more troops, he would let Yan Liang show his face, and then lead his troops back to the city.

Now knowing that the troops below are similar to those brought out by Yan Liang, Yuan Shao is relieved. In fact, Yuan Shao is quite relieved about Yan Liang's ability.

At this time, Cao Ren, who was on the opposite side, saw the gate of Ganling city wide open, and Yan Liang rushed out with his troops, formed a formation opposite him, and then shouted:

"Who is the enemy general on the other side! Report your name quickly, I, Yan Liang, will not kill the unknown!"

When Cao Ren heard that Yan Liang really came out, it seemed that he was about to start a war with him.

Not to be outdone, Cao Ren ordered Xiahou Dun to fight Yan Liang to see how strong he was.

After Xiahou Dun received the order, he rode out of the battle formation alone, came to the middle of the two armies, pointed the long knife in his hand at Yan Liang who was facing him, and shouted:

"I am Xiahoudun, the former general under Duke Cao's command in Yanzhou, and Yan Liang's child, hurry up and die!"

When Yan Liang heard that it was Cao Cao's general Xiahou Dun who came, he felt a burst of pressure. If he didn't step forward at this time, wouldn't he be looked down upon?

So Yan Liang stepped forward immediately, came to the center of the two armies, stood face to face with Xiahou Dun, and then said:

"Xiahou Dun! Let me test your abilities!"

The two rushed towards each other while talking. Both Yan Liang and Xiahou Dun were rare famous generals in the Three Kingdoms period. Although they were not top generals, they were enough to look down on most people.

Yuan Shao on the city wall looked at the two men fighting below. He believed in his confidant and favorite general. Looking at the general under Cao Cao's command, he was also extraordinary. Yuan Shao began to feel that he had too few top generals.

Generals like Yan Liang and Xiahou Dun were already top generals in Yuan Shao's eyes. A general like Lu Bu would not be a general in his eyes, but could only be called a half-step immortal.

That kind of combat power, let alone Yan Liang, even with Wen Chou, is not enough for Lu Bu.

Cao Ren watched Xiahoudun and Yan Liang fight back and forth, neither side showed any signs of losing, and both of them had already worked hard.

And Cao Cao watched the battle between the two sides on the city wall of Pingyuan County, not only nodded, but also said to Kong Rong and Kong Ni:

"Although this Yuan Benchu ​​often talked about Yan Liang Wenchou, it seems that Yan Liang's military strength is not bad, and he can fight Yuan Rang evenly. Fortunately, his general Wen Chou was favored by Liu Xuan's generals when he was in Runan. I was beheaded, or if these two join forces, I am afraid that there are really few of us who can stop them."

Cao Cao talked about Liu Xuan, and Kong Rong and Kong Ni were also very impressed with Liu Xuan. The intelligence during this period was all from Liaodong.

Liu Xuan has conquered Runan, Xuzhou, Jingzhou, Youzhou, Xiliang, and various tribes in the grassland. If it is said that the most powerful prince now, only Liu Xuan.

Although Yuan Shao claims to have an army of more than 70!But the combat power of the 70 army is really not very good!It's just that Liu Xuan didn't care about Yuan Shao, otherwise Yuan Shao wouldn't be allowed to be presumptuous here today!

Kong Rong and Kong Ni had discussed early that if it was time to become enemies with Liaodong, they would still choose to join Liaodong instead of fighting Liaodong to the death!

They still agree with Liu Xuan's character, and they can open a school in Liaodong, where children from ordinary families can study for free. They can feel that Liu Xuan's heart is pretending to be the world.

Rather than just thinking about their own interests like Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.

Although they chose to temporarily ally with Cao Cao, it was only to resist Yuan Shao, and the two of them had no intention of dominating the world at all.

Even if Yuan Shao can be wiped out this time, the entire Jizhou will probably be taken under Cao Cao's command.

And as long as they destroy Yuan Shao, it is estimated that Cao Cao's next target will be their Qingzhou and Yuzhou.

So they agreed that as long as Yuan Shao was defeated, they would immediately write a letter to Liu Xuan and choose to join Liaodong. Only in this way could they guarantee the lives of the people in the two prefectures.

Although Cao Cao is a bit stronger than Yuan Shao, he doesn't care about the common people, it's just for his great cause.

As far as Kong Rong and Kong Ni knew, as long as the people in the prefectures and counties occupied by Liu Xuan would not be oppressed, and the people would be able to eat enough to avoid suffering from hunger.

At this point, Kong Rong said:

"That's right, if it weren't for the generals under Liu Taishou, we wouldn't be able to deal with Yuan Shao so easily."

Cao Cao nodded and said:

"That's right, Liu Ziwu is an extraordinary person. What he can do, I, Cao Cao, can't do, but Liu Ziwu is indeed a friend worth making."

Kong Rong and Kong Ni didn't expect Cao Cao to appreciate Liu Xuan so much, and their opinion of Liu Xuan was even better.

While the three were talking, the two on the battlefield had already fought more than 100 rounds, and it was still a draw. At this time, the two of them no longer had the bravery they had when they just started the battle.

Both of them were already tired, and whoever accidentally showed their flaws would be beheaded on the spot, or seriously injured behind. Seeing this, Cao Cao thought about asking Cao Ren to call Xiahou Dun back.

At this time, Yuan Shao stood on the city wall of Ganling County and watched the two fight. He was tired, so he asked someone to move a chair, and sat and watched the two fight while drinking tea.

Yuan Shao saw that the two people fighting in the city looked exhausted, so he hurriedly said to Zhang He beside him:
