Chapter 694: The city is in chaos
In Yuncheng, after Yuan Tan gave the order to retreat, the ordinary people in the city also panicked.
They weren't afraid that after the Yuan army withdrew, the Zhao army would come in and kill them.
The military discipline of the Zhao army may not be clear to the people in the south.
But no one in the north was afraid of Zhao Jun.
They all already knew that as long as they were indeed ordinary people, even if the Zhao army attacked Xiacheng, they would not touch a single penny, not even the rice in their homes, and they would not take an extra grain.
They are panicking now, panicking about the 40,000 Yuan troops in the city, and the thousands of deserters.
Yuan Tan gave the order to retreat, and Wen Chou carried it out.
More than half of the 40,000 Yuan troops began to plunder the belongings of the people in the city.
The military discipline of these Yuan Jun is completely incomparable with Zhao Jun.
Especially now that this is the case, they haven't had enough to eat for days.
Now that they are about to retreat, many people will want to grab something.
They don't rob, after Zhao Jun comes in, these things will also become Zhao Jun's trophies.
As a general, Wen Chou has no special control over this.
If it weren't for Yuan Tan's lack of order, Wen Chou even wanted to burn Yuncheng directly when he left the city, leaving nothing for Zhao Hui.
In Yuncheng, chickens fly and dogs jump.
Tian Feng, who was still discussing military affairs with Fu Zhi in the mansion, finally received the news.
The pen in his hand fell to the ground.
"Yuan Hao, this matter?"
Seeing Tian Feng's surprised appearance now, he also understood that this matter was an order directly given by Yuan Tan to bypass them.
"Let's go, go see the eldest prince."
Tian Feng ignored the pen that fell on the ground, and immediately rushed to Yuan Tan's mansion with Fu Zhu.
He had just discussed withdrawing his troops with him.
It's just that he didn't expect that Yuan Tan would give the order first, and without notifying them, he directly gave Wen Chou an order to retreat.
Yuan Tan's order cannot be said to be wrong.
Tian Feng was also discussing, but Yuan Tan's decision was too simple.
The order is simple, just two words - retreat.
But how many armies were defeated by the enemy in the retreat because of confusion?
The word withdrawal is simple, but the implementation is not simple at all.
A retreat, if not prepared, can easily turn into a collapse.
And now, when Tian Fengshou received the news of the unrest of the people and soldiers in the city, the picture he was most worried about appeared.
Tian Feng and Fu Zhu hurriedly came to see Yuan Tan.
"Lord, Tian Feng asked the two military advisors to see him."
After giving the order to retreat, Yuan Tan felt a sense of relaxation in his body.
He finally took another step forward.
You don't have to ask Tian Feng about everything.
He can also give orders in person, and he is still the pastor of Jizhou.
Yuan Tan knew what Tian Feng was going to say when he asked to see him now.
He put away the smile on his face and said, "Please come in two military advisors." ”
Although the situation in Jizhou is very bad now, Yuan Tan has a happy feeling in his heart.
Retreat was only his first step.
Retreat to Yecheng first, and then he will surrender to Cao Cao.
With a decision in his heart and a way out, Yuan Tan is not anxious.
Tian Feng and Fu Zhu came in and saw the difference between Yuan Tan at a glance.
At this moment, Yuan Tan does seem to have a little demeanor of his father Yuan Shao, and there is a calm attitude between his eyebrows.
"The eldest son."
Tian Feng said with both hands.
Yuan Tan said: "The teacher is here to retreat, the grain and grass in the city can only last for two days, and now it is necessary to retreat." ”
"Eldest son, please follow me around the city." Tian Feng said.
He didn't give Yuan Tan any reason.
No matter how much you say, it's better to let Yuan Tan take a look at it for himself now.
Only by feeling it in person will Yuan Tan know how simple his order to retreat is, and how big the consequences are.
Yuan Tan was confused, and he didn't know what Tian Feng's idea was.
He thought that Tian Feng would oppose his withdrawal, Yuan Tan had already prepared various reasons, and he was sure to persuade Tian Feng this time.
Even if Tian Feng is against it, he must withdraw his troops.
But Yuan Tan didn't expect that Tian Feng came, but he didn't persuade him or stop him.
Instead, he asked him to go to the city with him.
After more than a month in Yuncheng, Yuan Tan was not familiar with the streets of Yuncheng.
This was the first time he really observed everything in Yuncheng.
Even if he went out before, he just went straight to the city.
How many people there are in Yuncheng and how many streets there are, Yuan Tan is not clear.
From the place where Yuan Tan's mansion entered, there was still no commotion.
But as I walked through one street and entered another, I saw that the ground was already full of messes.
The doors of the houses on both sides of the street have been broken, and some people can still be seen running.
When some soldiers saw Tian Feng and Yuan Tan, they didn't come to pay their respects, but left quickly with their heads down.
These soldiers were a little slower than the others, and when they came, they could only see if there were any leftovers.
This street, Yuan Tan came out to see it a few days ago.
A few days ago, although I didn't say how prosperous it was, the shops on both sides were still open, and there were still people shopping.
In the tavern, there are still people talking.
There are people in the cloth shop who are picking their favorite colors.
But now it's all gone.
made Yuan Tan wonder if he was in the wrong place.
Or has Zhao Jun already entered the city?
One street is like this, and then to the next street, it is even more chaotic, and Yuan Tan saw that there was still blood on the ground that had not dried up.
He finally knew why Tian Feng wanted him to come out to take a look.
"Teacher?"
But Yuan Tan still didn't understand why in less than an hour, the entire Yuncheng was like the scene after the city was broken.
Messy, messy.
He saw civilians fleeing, and finally saw soldiers looting everywhere.
And these soldiers are not the armor of the Zhao army, but they are all wearing the armor of the Yuan army.
"Teacher, what the hell is going on?"
Yuan Tan asked, he hadn't been so humble with Xiang Tian Feng sake for a long time.
When was the last time?
It should be when Tian Feng hadn't gone to Youzhou yet.
Tian Feng came back from Youzhou, brought back Yuan Shao's "last life", and let Yuan Tan take over as Jizhou Mu, his heart had changed.
Yuan Tan felt that Tian Feng had changed after returning from Youzhou, but in fact, Tian Feng had always been the upright and serious Tian Feng.
It was he who had changed.
"Teacher, is it because of the withdrawal?"
Yuan Tan is not stupid, looking at those soldiers who are crazy about looting the people's property, he finally understands.
It's just that it's too late.
The entire city of Yuncheng has fallen into chaos, and many civilians have even been killed.
"Let's go back." Tian Feng sighed.
Yuan Tan already understood, so he didn't need to say more.
Originally, Tian Feng and Fu Zhi wanted to withdraw their troops, but they also withdrew quietly.
And now that Yuan Tan is doing this, Zhao Jun outside the city must now know the situation in the city.
Will they be able to evacuate safely?
