On Chun Yuqiong's side, he marched relatively smoothly at the beginning, and occupied Zhangwu County in Bohai County.

However, Cao Hong was very brave, led the army and Chun Yuqiong's army to face hard, with an army of more than 6,000 people to break Chun Yuqiong's 10,000 troops, stunned Chun Yuqiong's superior forces did not dare to leave Zhangwu County, only dared to defend the city, did not dare to go out of the city to fight.

Cao Hong's side was also limited to limited troops, and could not attack the city on a large scale, and waited for Zang Hong to raise 10,000 militiamen from the rear to come to the front line to help, Cao Hong began to officially arrange the siege.

Chun Yuqiong was scared and didn't dare to go out of the city.

Chun Yuqiong's military capabilities are really limited.

Under Chen Gong's tactical planning, he was not Cao Hong's opponent at all, and there was no other possibility except to defend the city, and the recovery of Bohai County and Qinghe Kingdom was simply a dream.

Compared with Chun Yuqiong, he is still a senior cadre with a bit of combat effectiveness, and he has dealings with Zhang Yan, and he is evenly matched.

Zhang Yan has never been able to deal a blow to Chang Shanguo, but his goal is to clamp down on part of Yuan Shao's forces and relieve pressure on Guo Peng.

As long as Guo Peng's side can reduce some pressure a little and win, then Zhang Yan will not lose money.

The main battlefield is in full swing, and the other two small battlefields are also fighting back and forth, depending on when the main battlefield can be decided.

Both Chun Yuqiong and Gao Gan felt that Yuan Shao could easily win.

What are you kidding, the 60,000-strong army crushed the past, overwhelming the momentum like a rainbow, you tell me how to lose?

Come on, tell me, how to lose?

Don't talk about Guo Peng, Yuan Shu will die if he comes in person!

As a result, I really lost, and I felt like I was losing.

They are still insisting, completely unaware that Yuan Shao is finished, and they have become dying people.

Guo Peng led the army to attack northward non-stop, doing only two things along the way.

One is surrender.

One is to cut people.

When Guo Peng's army rushed over, the landlords who did not join Yuan Shao's camp all put on the same posture as those landlords who defected to him when Yuan Shao went south.

Eat pot pulp to welcome the king.

When they saw Wang Shi coming from afar, they hurriedly lined up to welcome him.

There's no way, if you don't line up to welcome, Wang Shi will cut people.

Those landlords who supported Yuan Shao, when they learned that Yuan Shao had defeated Guo Peng and galloped north, some of them were already frightened, abandoned their family business and ran north, and some of them were not fast enough to be reluctant to those pots and jars, and were caught up by Guo Peng.

And then there's the wave of traditional operations.

Disobey the Yuan family's sister-in-law and help a concubine, you really have a vision!

Guo someone's hand waved, and death came.

The landlords who did not help Yuan Shao looked at everything in front of them tremblingly, and at the same time thanked their reason countless times in their hearts, thanking themselves for not being dazzled by the temporary favorable conditions.

If I wasn't rational before, I might be like these people whose families are ruined.

These big-headed soldiers are really completely unreasonable......

But for Guo someone, this is a typical benefit, I take it, and you carry the black pot.

I've been a dog for your Yuan family, aren't you willing to help me carry a pot?

Anyway, it's not the first time that Yuan Shu has taken the blame for Guo Peng.

On September 15, the fourth year of the first peace, Xu You and Feng Ji protected Yuan Shao, and fled to Changshan Country with thousands of remnants.

Gao Gan is Yuan Shao's nephew, he has always been friendly and trustworthy with Yuan Shao, and he has 10,000 soldiers and horses under his command, which is the only hope for Yuan Shao in danger.

However, when he saw Xu You and Feng Ji escorting Yuan Shao and fleeing with thousands of remnants, Gao Gan was so frightened that his soul flew away.

"Our army...... Defeated? ”

Gao Gan looked at Yuan Shao's gray hair for more than ten days, even if he didn't want to believe it, he had to believe that they were indeed defeated.

Yuan Shao woke up a few days ago, and when he woke up and saw the miserable situation of running away in embarrassment, he screamed again, vomited a mouthful of blood, and fainted.

When I woke up the next morning, I found myself white-headed all night.

The original black hair turned gray overnight, and the whole person seemed to age ten years in an instant.

Where has the time gone?

Yuan Shao didn't know, Xu You and Feng Ji didn't know, and Gao Gan didn't know even more.

But they all know very well that they have become lost dogs, and they must continue to escape, otherwise they will be chased by Guo Peng's pursuers, and they will not end well.

The grain and grass were burned, the army was scattered, and the 80,000-strong army was only a little over 10,000 left in a blink of an eye.

Gao Gan's army was also panicked, if it weren't for Xu Yu and Feng Ji making a quick decision and ordering Zhang He to immediately lead his troops to suppress the chaotic army, this army would have collapsed.

But now they have no supply of grain and grass, and there are only seven or eight days of grain in the camp of the high cadres.

Yuan Shao was in a trance and didn't know what to do, and he couldn't come up with what to do next, so Xu You and Feng Ji urgently activated their brains.

Under the limit state, Xu You thought of a way.

"If you retreat north with more than 10,000 people, not only will the speed be slow, but the food will not be enough to eat, and it won't be long before you will be caught up by the pursuing soldiers, and we will all die, but the only way to do this is to concentrate all the horses and a large amount of food, and we will protect Ming Gong to transfer to Jixian County."

"And then? What to do with the rest of the army? Just put them here? Is it possible? ”

Gao Gan was shocked.

"Most of the people must stay, and they must leave prestigious generals to command them, guard here, contain Zhang Yan's army, and block Guo Peng's pursuers, so as to buy time for our successful retreat, as long as we can return to Jixian, there will still be a chance, if we can't go back, we will be all finished."

Xu You took a few breaths, and then spoke: "My idea is to leave the captains Zhang He and Zhao Rong behind, and command the remaining soldiers and horses to guard the camp, so as to buy time for us to return to Jixian County." ”

Gao Gan and Feng Ji looked at each other.

"Will they be willing? Leaving behind is obviously sent to death. ”

Feng Ji's face was a little embarrassed.

"It's not something they're willing to do! It's a must-do! Since you are a human minister, you must have the determination to die for the lord, otherwise why would the lord accept them? ”

Xu You said righteously: "They must stay, if they don't stay, Ming Gong will be in danger, aren't they willing to die for Ming Gong?" ”

Feng Ji and Gao Gan stopped talking, so Xu You immediately summoned Zhang He and Zhao Rong.

"The current situation, you also know that Guo Thief's chasing troops are in hot pursuit, our army has suffered heavy losses, and now there is no way to fight back, but now the only way to do this is to protect General Yuan to rush back to Jixian as soon as possible, so that it is possible to revive the momentum."

Zhang He and Zhao Rong immediately nodded their heads in understanding.

"But Guo Thief's pursuers can't help but stop it, otherwise we won't be able to rush back to Jixian County smoothly, and it is possible to be caught up, so, Captain Zhang, Captain Zhao, the general ordered the two of you to lead 10,000 troops to guard Zhending County, and buy time for the general to withdraw to Jixian County."

Xu Yu gave the order.

The two were just about to reflexively agree, when they suddenly realized something, and the word "obey" was stuck in their throats and couldn't be spoken.

This is to ......

Let's send to death?

Abandon us?

Zhang He and Zhao Rong looked at each other in extreme shock, and then looked at Xu You.

"Xu Gong, we only have 10,000 soldiers and horses, how can we fight against Guo Thief's tens of thousands of troops? There are also 10,000 soldiers and horses of the Changshan thieves who are also threatening on the side! ”

"Duke Xu, we are loyal to the general, we are willing to die for the general, and we are willing to follow the general to the north!"

Zhang He and Zhao Rong are not stupid, they naturally understand that Xu You intends to make them cannon fodder, of course they are unwilling, so they have to work hard.
