Chapter 695: Leaving the city overnight in two ways
"Teacher, what should I do now?"
Yuan Tan has already realized his mistake.
In this case, the news of the withdrawal of troops, he should not have given it so easily, and let the whole army know about it.
But now it's too late to regret it, what Yuan Tan has to do now is to find a way to remedy it.
Zhao Jun outside the city may have been waiting for him to leave the city now.
Guo Jia may have sent people to ambush on the road from Yuncheng to Yecheng.
"Now we have to divide the army into two ways. All the way in the light, all the way in the dark. Tian Feng said.
All the way to Ming, attracting Zhao Jun's attention.
Yuan Tan followed the dark road and quietly returned to Yecheng.
But in this way, on the way to Ming, it is destined not to be peaceful, and he may never return to Yecheng.
The turmoil in Yuncheng is now out of control.
And Yuan Tan Tianfeng didn't have time to care.
At most, they will regroup the chaotic soldiers.
But it will also take several hours.
Not only the most ordinary soldiers, but also the captains of centurions, and even captains, all participated in the plunder.
Now Yuan Tan Tianfeng's order is difficult to convey to the ears of every soldier.
The 40,000 Yuan army was out of control.
When Wen Chou first started, he didn't care too much, and even he had the intention of indulging his soldiers to plunder the people's property.
Yuan Tan just gave him the order to retreat.
Wen Chou did as ordered.
But he just gave the order to the lieutenants below to withdraw the troops according to Yuan Tan's orders.
Tomorrow morning the army will withdraw from Yuncheng and return to Yecheng to prepare them.
For the rest, Wen Chou didn't care too much.
Yuan Tan didn't know about the experience of leading the army with Wen Chou for many years, and it was impossible for him not to know the consequences.
But he didn't care, but let his men plunder the property.
The same order, given by different people, has different effects.
If Yuan Shao gave the order to withdraw the troops, even if he simply told Wen Chou to withdraw the troops tomorrow morning.
Wen Chou does not dare to be sloppy, he will definitely be cautious and conscientious.
But the orders given by Yuan Tan, if Yuan Tan didn't point them out one by one, Wen Chou wouldn't have thought about it so much.
He can let this withdrawal pass smoothly, and leave quietly tomorrow morning while Zhao Jun has not yet reacted.
But he didn't.
Yuan Tan said that he didn't have Jizhou Mu in his eyes, but in Yuan Tan's eyes, what was his status as a literary ugly?
He is loyal to Yuan Shao, but it doesn't mean that Yuan Tan can also call him around.
Why did Yuan Tan treat Tian Feng as a teacher, and when he treated him, he was high?
Yuan Tan couldn't suppress Wen Chou.
What's more, Wen Chou also wants to make a fortune when he leaves.
He let his soldiers go, and the last looted property will naturally be handed over to him.
And in the end, it is definitely Wen Chou who gets the most benefits.
Why did he stop it?
The Yuan family is no longer good.
Even Yuan Tan was considering surrendering to Cao Cao, and Wen Chou naturally had his own thoughts in his heart.
Tian Feng knew that such chaos in the city had a lot to do with Wen Chou's connivance.
But it's really hard for the two of them to attack Wen Chou now.
The remaining 40,000 Yuan troops in the city have all followed Wen Chou for many years, and their prestige in the army is far inferior to Wen Chou.
However, after the two intervened, Wen Chou also took the person back.
Although Wen Chou's prestige in the army is very high, Wen Chou is not sure in his heart how many of the generals and soldiers below are willing to follow him to rebel.
Both sides are very scruples in their hearts, so they are also very restrained, and they are very polite on the surface.
But it's not like Yuan Tan.
Tian Feng and Fu Zhu may not be used to seeing Wen Chou in their hearts, but they have always treated Wen Chou as an equal.
Originally, it was scheduled to retreat tomorrow morning, but now Tian Feng decided to retreat tonight.
"General, tonight, you and Gonghe will lead an army of 20,000 people out of the east gate."
"The eldest prince and I will lead the remaining 20,000 soldiers and horses from the west gate later."
But no matter which path Yuan Tan Tianfeng takes, they must go out of the city first now.
And Guo Jia had already received the news of the chaos in the city during the day.
Many people, civilians, and soldiers, fled out of the city.
Guo Jia was already outside the four city gates, and scouts were arranged to keep an eye on them.
As long as a large number of people come out of the city, they will definitely be discovered.
Zhao Yun and Dian Wei are already ready.
Zhao Hui had already arrived at Julu, and both of them wanted to break through Yuncheng before Zhao Hui arrived at Yuncheng.
"Report, the enemy army came out of the east gate. The quantity is unknown. ”
In the middle of the night, scouts came to report.
But because it was too dark, they couldn't estimate the number of Yuan's troops leaving the city.
"Two generals, who wants to go?" Guo Jiadao.
"I'll go."
Zhao Yun and Dian Wei replied at the same time.
"Zilong, don't fight with me." Dian Wei Dao.
Although Zhao Yun is an invincible general, he is not a person who likes to fight in his bones.
"Haha, congratulations to Brother Dian on his victory." Zhao Yundao.
Dian Wei led 30,000 men to chase after him.
"Strategist, what are you waiting for? The enemy has left, shall we enter the city tonight, or wait until dawn? Zhao Yun saw that Guo Jia was still in the tent, so he asked.
"Don't worry, wait for the rest of the city to come out." Guo Jiadao.
Zhao Yundao: "What does the military advisor mean, there is still Yuan Jun in the city?" ”
Guo Jia said: "Wait and see." ”
He's not quite sure.
After Dian Wei walked with his soldiers and horses for an hour, another scout came to report.
"An enemy army has come out from the west side of the city."
"The military advisor is a god." Zhao Yun admired.
If it had been him, he would have led a large army into the city just now.
If you really do this, I'm afraid that not only will you not be able to defeat Yuncheng, but you will also be ambushed.
"Zilong, you lead 30,000 elite soldiers, be sure to stop the enemy army." Guo Jiadao.
"Cloud, command!" Zhao Yun clenched his fists, and then ordered his troops and horses to set off.
After Zhao Yun left, Guo Jia still didn't enter the city immediately.
Zhao Yun and Dian Wei each led 30,000 people to leave, and Guo Jia now has more than 30,000 people in his hands.
It was too dark, and whether it was from the east of the city or from the west of the city, the scouts could not count the number of Yuan's army.
According to the minimum estimate of the number of Yuan troops who left the city twice, there may be more than 10,000 Yuan troops in the city.
Guo Jia didn't rest, he still continued to wait.
Dian Wei and Zhao Yun are gone, but Guan Hai, who has returned from Mantis Gang, is still on standby.
Guo Jia is not unarmed in his hands.
Inside the city!
"Teacher, when are we leaving?" Yuan Tan asked.
Although Tian Feng arranged it during the day, after Wen Chou left from the east gate, Tian Feng immediately changed the order.
Wen Chou, who set out from the east gate, did lead 20,000 Yuan troops.
But Tian Feng and Yuan Tan did not go out from the West Gate.
Going out from the west gate were Xun Chen, Lu Wei, and Han Hui.
And it's not 20,000 people, it's just more than 10,000 people.
"Waiting." Tian Feng said.
Wen Chou went out of the city when he was a child.
Xun Chen went out of the city when he was ugly.
It was still more than two hours before dawn.
