Today is a good day, the sun is shining, the weather is sunny and cloudless.

In such weather, there is always an indescribable comfort.

When people embrace nature, there is always an indescribable feeling of refreshment in their hearts.

Unfortunately, people's mood has nothing to do with the weather.

No matter how good the weather is, it can't stop people from feeling depressed.

For Yuan Xi, such weather is not very good.

Because Yuan Xi's heart was already full of storms.

The fighting generals under Zhuoxian County, Han Qiong and Zhao Yun were tied; In the battle under Zhuoxian County, Murong Ping was defeated.

This kind of result will not make Yuan Xi depressed.

Yuan Xi's depression mainly came from the news of the army that attacked the grain and grass: Feng Li had returned, Jiao was nowhere to be found, and Zhang Nan died.

Of the 20,000 cavalry who attacked the grain and grass, only a few dozen people returned.

The death and capture of 20,000 cavalry made Yuan Xi big for a while, and Yuan Xi didn't know how to face Yuan Shao's anger?

In the big tent of Yuan Shaojun under the city of Zhuoxian, there was silence. Yuan Xi and all the strategists and generals all looked worried.

After about a cup of tea, Tian Feng, who had an upright personality, couldn't hold back, got up and said to Yuan Xi: "Second son, now the defeat is decided." The top priority is how to lead the army back to Yuyang County and defend the city. Instead of lamenting the 20,000 cavalry who attacked the grain and grass. As long as the army is still around, anything can happen. ”

In Yuan Shaojun, I don't know when a saying began to circulate: "If Tian Feng speaks, Guo Tu must speak." ”

Yes, after Guo Tu heard Tian Feng's words, he said disdainfully: "Tsk, I can't see your decisiveness when you make plans, but when you withdraw from the army, you are quite decisive." As soon as your upper lip touches your lower lip, the lives of 20,000 cavalrymen will be gone. I really wonder what their family will think of us Yuan Shaojun after hearing your words? ”

After Tian Feng heard Guo Tu's words, he could only hold back his anger and not speak.

Tian Feng knew that Guo Tu was targeting himself.

Because it's not the first time. If he quarrels with Guo Tu and gets really angry, it will definitely affect his judgment.

For the sake of the great cause of the lord, Tian Feng could only choose to endure his anger.

Tian Feng's words, although not very popular, are the truth; Guo Tu's fall into the well made everyone very dissatisfied - when did it happen, and you still can't forget those bad things about you?

Yuan Xi, who was sitting on the main seat, said to Guo Tu with an angry face: "Guo Gongze, you shut up for me." Since you arrived in Youzhou, in addition to stirring up trouble, have you done anything serious? Now I'm giving you two options, either get out or shut up. ”

After Yuan Xi scolded Guo Tu, he said softly to Tian Feng: "Tian don't drive, I agree to retreat, you continue." ”

Guo Tu looked at Yuan Xi, his little eyes flashing with a venomous light. Xin said: "Do you really think that you are the lord and dare to scold me like this?" ”

Although he was not angry in his heart, Guo Tu did not dare to say anything more.

Because Guo Tu knows: "Even if the lord Yuan Shao likes to listen to his own words very much, when it comes to his son, he will definitely be ruthlessly abandoned."

Tiger poison does not eat children!

Who can choose not to believe in their son for the sake of outsiders? ”

Tian Feng saw that Guo Tu was scolded by Yuan Xi, and obediently closed his mouth, and was overjoyed in his heart: "That fly finally stopped buzzing." ”

So Tian Feng said to Yuan Xi: "My subordinates feel that since we have chosen to retreat, then we must make a decision immediately.

Tonight, we took advantage of the darkness to retreat in the direction of Fangcheng County.

On the way to retreat, we can leave a fierce general and let him lead 5,000 soldiers to set up an ambush.

If the Fenwu army comes after them, give them some color to see. After the Fenwu army encountered an attack, it would inevitably retreat to Zhuoxian.

And we just took this opportunity to march quickly and return to Yuyang County in one fell swoop.

If the Fenwu army does not chase after us, we can only go to Fangcheng County to see the situation first. ”

After hearing this, Yuan Xi asked Tian Feng puzzledly: "Tian Beijia, why are there no chasing soldiers, but we have to wait in Fangcheng County?" Why can't we just withdraw to Yuyang County? ”

Tian Feng heard Yuan Xi's question, and said confidently: "Back to the words of the second son."

We were infantry, and there was also a lot of baggage, and the march was slow. From here, it will take at least three days to get back to Yuyang County.

Even if the Fenwu Army is not discovered in the process of withdrawing tonight, the reality of our army will be discovered by the Fenwu Army tomorrow, and the Fenwu Army will definitely send troops to chase after it at that time.

If there are no pursuers, then there is only one possibility, and that is where they are cat, waiting to give us a fatal blow.

In this case, the best way for us to deal with it is to brake with static braking and respond to all changes without change.

If there are pursuers chasing us, after being ambushed, they will inevitably retreat to Zhuoxian.

After the Fenwu army returns to the city, it will definitely gather a large army to pursue. The time difference between this back and forth and the gathering of troops was enough for our march. ”

Yuan Xi was very satisfied when he heard Tian Feng's answer.

Puzzled, he asked: "Zhuo County goes east back to Yuyang County, but there are many ways to retreat. Why should you choose Fangcheng County? ”

Tian Feng still replied confidently: "Fangcheng County once experienced a fire, although it burned a lot of food for our army, it also damaged a lot of city walls.

Although the Fenwu army rebuilt the city wall, how could it be possible to repair the city wall in such a short period of time? There will be loopholes.

And these loopholes are opportunities for our army.

If the Fenwu army of Zhuo County suddenly sends a large number of men and horses to chase after us, we will directly take Fangcheng County and defend the city. In this way, our losses can be minimized. ”

After hearing this, Yuan Xi nodded with satisfaction and said to everyone: "Don't drive a clever plan." All the circumstances are taken into account, so let's do it according to Tian Beijia's meaning. ”

Everyone admired Tian Feng, but Guo Tu said in his heart: "Cut, all the circumstances, there is still one situation that has not been mentioned." I know, but I won't tell you. ”

The villain is like this, he only has himself in his eyes, where does he care about the overall situation?

......

Zhuo County

At this time, in the camp of the Fenwu Army, it was a completely different scene from the camp of Yuan Shaojun.

Every soldier's face was filled with the joy of victory.

This joy not only comes from the victory of the fighting generals under the city, but also from the victory of aiding Zhang Yang.

It can be said to be 'double happiness'.

In the ledger

Zhang Liao happily said to everyone: "This battle has been carried out so far, and we have seen the dawn of victory. As long as we work step by step and work steadily, we will be able to achieve the final victory. ”

All the generals smiled and agreed with Zhang Liao's words.

But instead of smiling, the three strategists looked like they were thinking about something.

Fu Zhu has studied with Han Cheng for so many years, and his personality is much more sleek than Tian Feng.

Although the position of Fu Zhu is higher than that of Zhang Liao, Zhang Liao is the coach.

Therefore, after Zhang Liao finished speaking, he asked Xu Shu: "Yuan Zhi, if you are the enemy's strategist at this time, what will you advise the enemy's commander to do?" ”

Xu Shu is also a very smart person, how could he not understand the meaning of frustration.

Yes, Xu Shu replied to Fu Zhi: "If I were the enemy's strategist, I would definitely choose to retreat tonight." Because only by doing so can we ensure the survival of our soldiers to the greatest extent. ”

Zhang Liao heard the conversation between the two and regretted it in his heart: "Fortunately, the military advisor reminded me in time, otherwise, wouldn't it be a big delay?" ”

If you can't beat it, won't people run?

So, Zhang Liao didn't care about any facelessness, and asked directly at Xu Shu: "Master Xu, which direction do you say Yuan Shaojun will retreat?" To the east of Zhuo County, there are many ways to retreat. ”

Xu Shu replied categorically: "I think they will definitely retreat in the direction of Fangcheng County." ”

Zhang Liao looked surprised and asked Xu Shu, "Why is Xu Junshi so determined?" ”

Xu Shu replied in his grip: "In the Yuan Shao's army under the city, the cavalry is scarce and the baggage is heavy.

No matter how fast you run, you can still outpace our cavalry?

In this case, the best way to do this is to retreat in sections.

Retreat in sections means that after retreating for a certain distance, we observe the movement of our army, and then proceed to the next retreat.

Of all the counties in Zhuo County, Fangcheng County is the best choice.

The distance is right, and it's easy to attack.

Other than that, I really can't think of another county with such an advantage? ”

Speaking of which, Zhang Liao knew what Xu Shu meant—he must not let Yuan Shaojun reach Fangcheng County smoothly.

So, Zhang Liao immediately ordered Han Hao: "Han Hao, it's your turn this time." You can set off with 5,000 Qinglong troops, find a place between Zhuo County and Fangcheng County, and ambush the retreating Yuan Shaojun. ”

Han Hao immediately replied: "The subordinates obey the order." ”

Zhang Liao ordered again: "Liu Bao, Yan Rou, Zhang Xiu." The three of you led the 20,000 Qinglong army, and after Yuan Shao's army was ambushed by Han Hao, they quickly killed.

This time, I want Yuan Shaojun to know that the territory of my Fenwu Army is not just a place to come, and I can leave if I want. ”

"No!" The three of them replied in unison.

The joy in the words was unconsciously revealed.

......

Busy people always feel that the daylight hours are short; And those who wait, feel that the daylight hours are very long.

This is a famous saying: "Busyness fulfills people; Waiting makes people helpless. ”

At this time, Yuan Shaojun's people were waiting for the night to come, as if the more they waited, the longer the time.

Finally, the sun slowly set, and darkness began to cover the land.

Yuan Xi immediately ordered: "Start camping!" The whole army retreated in the direction of Fangcheng County. ”

After Yuan Xi gave the order to retreat, he said to an ugly and hideous person: "Guo Yuan, you lead five thousand soldiers to break the rear.

If within three hours, the Fenwu army will chase after me and beat me hard; If the Fenwu army did not chase after them, they would lead them to Fangcheng County to join us. ”

After Guo Yuan said 'promise', he took his crescent halberd and went to order troops.

Half an hour later, Yuan Shaojun took advantage of the night and headed towards Fangcheng County.

......

There is a small valley between Fangcheng County and Zhuo County. At that time, Yuan Shaojun arrived at the entrance of this small valley.

When Yuan Xi saw this valley, he thought to himself: "If the Fenwu army ambushes an ambush in this valley, it will suffer a big loss." The valley was too narrow for an ambush. ”

Then Yuan Xi thought again: "When I leave, I will definitely be detected by the exploration horses of the Fenwu Army." The horse returned to the city, and told the main general, who ordered the troops, and then killed. Even the fastest cavalry will not reach this valley at this time, it seems that they are too worried. ”

Therefore, Yuan Xi confidently ordered the soldiers: "Quickly pass through the valley." ”

Yuan Shaojun, under Yuan Xi's order, quickly entered the valley.

A quarter of an hour passed, and nothing happened.

After another quarter of an hour, Yuan Shaojun's front troops could already see the exit of the valley.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, it seems, the journey was safe!

At this moment, a killing cry suddenly came from the valley: "Yuan Xi, Han has been waiting here for a long time." Give your head away. ”

After that, the five thousand Qinglong army took advantage of the terrain and went down the mountain.

At this time, Yuan Shaojun's soldiers had already occupied the entire valley, and it was the best time to ambush.

How could Han Hao easily miss such a good ambush opportunity?

After Yuan Xi heard Han Hao's shout, he was shocked and said, "There are actually ambush soldiers?" ”

He quickly gave the order to the soldiers: "Pass my order and pass through the valley as fast as possible." ”

In this kind of ambush situation, it is the same for anyone who leads the troops, and there is no other way than to pass quickly.

Yuan Xi's corresponding strategy is right, but Yuan Xi doesn't understand people's desire to survive.

The exit of the narrow valley was already crowded.

At this time, it was dark night, and I didn't know how many ambush soldiers there were on the mountain, and every Yuan Shaojun soldier was frightened, thinking about getting out of the valley quickly.

If you line up in a queue, the speed of getting out of the valley will naturally be very fast.

But if they are huddled together, he wants to go out, and he wants to go out, so he naturally slows down.

At this time, Yuan Shaojun was in this state of huddled together.

In the end, no one can get out.

The result of not being able to get out can only be chaos and cannibalism.

At this time, Yan Rou, Zhang Xiu and others, who were hiding in the distance, quickly led their Qinglong Army to cover up, and for a while, Yuan Shaojun suffered countless casualties.

Yuan Xi, who was in the front army, saw that the general trend had gone, so he could only let his own soldiers open the way and quickly rushed out of the valley.

Once out of the valley, find a safe place and gather the stragglers.

And Tian Feng and other strategists were escorted by hundreds of soldiers and were in the position of the Chinese army.

When Han Hao came, the situation was in chaos, and the strategists had already been dizzy, regardless of north and south.

Xu You was carried out of the valley by the torrent of soldiers, while Tian Feng and Guo Tu were trapped in the valley.

At dawn, Yuan Xi counted the gathered people, there were about 40,000 people, a full half.

The strategists were only Xu You, and the rest of the soldiers and strategists did not know where they had gone.

At this time, Yuan Xi didn't dare to wait any longer, so he could only lead these people and horses to rush to Fangcheng County first, and then think about it in the long run.

And in the valley, Yan Rou and the other four generals were fighting for one thing, because they had gained a lot in this battle, and they actually caught two big fish: Yuan Shao's important advisers - Tian Feng and Guo Tu.
