    Longmen Ferry is one of the most important crossings in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, and is also the dividing line between Qingzhou and Xuzhou. Because the river here is wide and the water is slow, which is convenient for boating, most pedestrians traveling from south to north cross the river here. Over time, '  Longmendu has become a prosperous land and water dock, which is vital to military strategists!

    Relying on mountains to eat and water to eat water, fishermen on both sides of the strait usually make a living by ferrying pedestrians in addition to fishing. However, recently, the ferry business has been out of business. All fishing boats rowing to the north shore are without exception.  The reason for being detained by Yuan Jun is very simple ~ transport troops!

    After deciding on the strategy of sneak attack on Xuzhou, Yuan Tan set up a base camp here. For a time, banners were like clouds, soldiers and horses were like tides, and the cowhide tents of the garrison were one after another, as dense as stars. Within ten days, they  Sixty thousand elite men have been gathered, and weapons, food and fodder have been prepared. They just wait for an order to cross the Yellow River and send troops to Xuzhou!

    In the Chinese army's tent, Yuan Tan's life was like a year. Every day the army was stationed, it consumed an extra day of food and grass. This year was no better than in previous years. There had just been a locust plague in the summer. Qingzhou was also one of the hardest hit areas. No crops were harvested. Yuan Tan  Tan did not have the courage to eat locusts, and the government's relief was unfavorable. Countless people died of starvation. Now the food and grass were squeezed out through his teeth, and the civilians also captured them by force. This battle can be said to be  Let¡¯s use all the strength of Qingzhou!

    Time passed day by day, the troops and horses had already been gathered, and the food and grass were barely enough, but Jian Yong still hadn't come back. Yuan Tan was not sure whether the "north-south pincer attack" strategy could succeed, as the army continued to be stationed like this.  , Not to mention consuming food and grass, once his whereabouts are exposed and discovered by Cao Jun on the other side, all previous efforts will be wasted. Can he not be anxious?

    "Young Master, you can't hesitate any longer. Cross the river immediately and attack Xuzhou. If you wait any longer, I'm afraid the 'Ghost Face Xiao Lang' will come back!" Chen Deng was the most active in attacking Xuzhou and came to urge him almost every day!

    "Mr. Yuanlong, please be patient and don't be impatient. I also know that soldiers are valuable and quick. However, Jian Yong has not returned yet, and the soldiers from Jiangdong have not gone north. How can the soldiers from Qingzhou easily go south?"

    Yuan Tan knew very well that this was a big gamble. If he won, he would not only win the land of Xuzhou, but also rely on his outstanding military achievements to ascend to the throne of the Yuan family's heir. If he goes one step further, he would be crowned the "Ninth Five-Year Plan" in the future.  , it is very possible to dominate the world. On the other hand, if he loses and loses tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, it will be nothing. I am afraid that I will never have a chance to compete with Yuan Shang!

    One thought of heaven and one thought of hell were related to his own future and destiny. No matter how anxious he was, he had to wait. Yuan Tan even secretly made up his mind that if Jian Yong's mission failed and Jiangdong's troops refused to go north, he would give up this mission.  It is better to be safe when it comes to sneak attack on Xuzhou than to rush to death!

    "Report, Mr. Jian Yong has returned from Jiangdong!" A soldier quickly ran into the tent, knowing that the young master was just right to be killed, but if he reported too late, he would be beheaded!

    "What, he's back, let him come to see me quickly!" Yuan Tan jumped up from his seat, "God bless, the fighter plane finally appeared!"

    "No!"

    "I have met the eldest son!" Jian Yong walked into the tent wearing a merchant's clothes. After leaving Jiangdong, he dressed up as a businessman and returned north to Qingzhou non-stop. After entering the camp, he ran away without changing his clothes.  coming!

    "Sir, you have worked hard all the way. How about this trip to Jiangdong? Did Sun Ce agree to send troops to attack Xuzhou?" Yuan Tan's heart almost jumped out of his chest. After waiting for many days, he finally got the envoy back!

    "Congratulations, eldest son, Sun Ce has agreed to send troops!" As Jian Yong spoke, he took out a secret letter from his arms and handed it over with both hands!

    "When Xianguan left Kuaiji City, Jiangdong soldiers and horses had already gathered on a large scale. There were 50,000 soldiers in total. They were equipped with both water and land. They were as powerful as a rainbow, but they were an elite division. However, Sun Ce had one more request, and he had to give it to him.  Replenish enough ordnance, food and grass so that the soldiers and horses can cross the river and go north!"

    "Damn it, he is talking like a lion. He wants to take away all my savings!" After reading the letter, the excited look on Yuan Tan's face disappeared. Instead, it was full of black lines. Sun Ce asked for it in the letter.  The large amount of supplies was more than twice what he originally promised, almost emptying Qingzhou's treasury!

    "It's just a little food and grass, so why should the eldest son care? Xuzhou is the richest in the world, and it has the profit of refined salt. The annual tax can be tens of millions. As long as the city is captured, isn't it possible to have as much ordnance, food and grass as you need?"  !¡±

    Chen Deng¡¯s words made Yuan Tan¡¯s expression soften again. It was true that Xuzhou was a hen that could lay golden eggs. As long as he got it in his hands, would he be afraid of being short of money and food in the future?

    "Okay, give it to him,Give him everything in full, and immediately arrange for ships to be sent to Sun Ce by water. At the same time, he urges him to send troops north to attack Xuzhou immediately!  "Yuan Tan waved his hand. He couldn't bear the child and couldn't trap the wolf. He couldn't bear the food and grass and couldn't capture Xuzhou. He gave up!

    "Come, beat the drums, gather the generals, gather the troops, prepare to cross the Yellow River, and send troops to Xuzhou!"

    "No!"

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­  ¡­

    "Woo!~~Woo! Woo!"

    Amidst the sound of trumpets, Yuan Tansheng sat in the central army's tent. He was wearing a golden tassel helmet, iron armor, a Western Sichuan brocade war robe underneath, a red cloak outside, and a green-edged sword three feet across his waist. He sat upright.  He is in a handsome position, but he is also majestic!

    Everyone said that Yuan Tan had a strong nature, was murderous and jealous, but they didn't know that he still had some talents. As a son of an aristocratic family, his literary and martial arts were very outstanding. However, the world was in chaos and heroes emerged in large numbers, including Xiao Yi, Sun Ce, and Zhou Yu.  For such a monster figure, the bright moon is shining brightly and the stars are not visible, so his brilliance is naturally covered up!

    "Everyone, Sun Ce has promised to send troops to attack Xuzhou. The time has come for you to make contributions!" Looking at the generals under his tent, Yuan Tan's face was full of pride. Isn't this a great opportunity for him to create hegemony in the world!

    "The eldest son is wise!Conquer Xuzhou and dominate the Central Plains!"

    The generals cheered loudly and smiled happily. Xuzhou was the richest in the world, with mountains of money and food. If they could seize it, it would be of great benefit to them. Maybe they could even get an official position like a prefect!

    "My lord, the war is fierce and dangerous. We must pay attention to it. It would be more prudent to wait until Jiangdong's troops move north before sending troops!" Liu Bei sat on the guest seat beside him with a solemn expression. In his eyes, Xiao Yi was evil.  Wolf, Sun Ce is a tiger, tigers and wolves cannot be trusted!

    "What Mr. Xuande said is wrong. Sun Ce is a tiger from the east of the Yangtze River. He is brave and strong. If he is the first to attack Xuzhou, all the five counties will be in the tiger's mouth. There is still room for us there!" Chen Deng couldn't wait to get there immediately!  He entered Xuzhou and took revenge. How could he wait any longer? At the same time, he took out an alliance sheet from his arms and showed it to everyone!

    "Xiao Yi was cruel and unkind, and the people of Xuzhou have suffered for a long time. This is a blood letter jointly sent by thirty-seven families. As long as the army crosses the river, these people are willing to provide the food and grass needed by the army, and will also open the city gate as a sign.  Internal response!¡±

    "Oh, show it to me!" Yuan Tan quickly took the alliance slip into his hand. Sure enough, the names of dozens of family heads in Xuzhou were signed on it, and they also drew hand pledges. It was a bright red area and there was a line of small words.  , "I respectfully invite the eldest son to take charge of Xuzhou and save the people from water and fire!"

    "Haha, the people in Xuzhou are like this, I have nothing to worry about!" Yuan Tan couldn't help but laugh up to the sky. The fortress is easiest to break through from the inside. If there are these "leading parties" to help, the army can take Xuzhou without a single blow!

    "Although there is internal support, it is better to be more careful. At least make sure that there is no worry about the way back, so that the army can advance and retreat freely!" At this point, Liu Bei could no longer object in words, but he had fought against Xiao Yi several times, and he was deeply moved.  You know how terrifying this person is. A battle situation that seems to be a sure win is often reversed in an instant. This is a lesson learned in blood, and you must be on guard against it!

    "Well, what Xuande said makes sense. 'Longmen Ferry' is both the gateway to advance and the way back. You must not make any mistakes!" Although Yuan Tan was impatient, he still listened to Jin's advice and pondered a little, "Lv  Where are Kuang and Lu Xiang?"

    "The general is here, please give me your orders, eldest son!" Following the words, two generals walked out of the queue. They were a pair of brothers. They were both fierce and bearded generals!

    "You two brothers command five thousand soldiers and horses to guard the 'Longmen Crossing'. This is the retreat route for the army, and it is also the throat for transporting ordnance, food and fodder. You must not miss anything!"

    "Promise, my two brothers will definitely guard the ferry to ensure that nothing goes wrong. Please rest assured, eldest son!" Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang hurriedly clasped their fists and said yes. They agreed categorically to guard the ferry. It's a piece of cake!

    "The rest of the troops set up camp, crossed the river at starry night, and headed straight for Pengcheng!" With his sword in hand, Yuan Tan saw murderous intent and finally gave the order to march!
