After listening to the analysis of Xun You and Cheng Yu, Cao Cao and Liu Bei, who are the commanders of the coalition forces, already have the idea of withdrawing their troops in their hearts.

Instead of being besieged by the Liangzhou army in three ways, it is better to retreat first, save the strength that can be fought, and then fight a decisive battle with the Liangzhou army.

"Withdraw your troops!"

Cao Cao and Liu Bei glanced at each other, nodded slightly to each other, and said in unison.

"...... as seen by Gongda"

Liu Bei asked, "Where should I retreat?"

"The northern and southern armies of Liangzhou may be attacked by the north and the south at any time. Li Muyu's soldiers and horses on the front line of Gaoyang Pavilion, Sujujube, and Yangxia have the possibility of advancing eastward at any time. ”

Xun You, who had already made up his mind in his heart, said in a loud voice: "You think...... The soldiers and horses of our army stationed here, when the east retreated to Jiyin County, Jishi... The first line of Pengcheng in Xuzhou to defend the east of Changyi City.

General Guan's soldiers and horses should be withdrawn to Xiapicheng in Xuzhou and Tan County in Donghai County.

General Xiahou's soldiers and horses should be withdrawn to the front line of Puyang and Dong'e in Dongjun. ”

Hearing what Xun You said, everyone sighed...... The entire Yuzhou, as well as the south of Xuzhou, was given to the Liangzhou army.

If they don't, their front line will be stretched too long, which is not conducive to defense.

"Gong Liu!

Before Zhao Yun's troops went south, they quickly withdrew the soldiers and horses north of the river to the south of the river. ”

As if thinking of something, Xun You's heart was stunned, and he hurriedly reminded: "It's best to send another general to garrison troops on the front line of Gaotang and Tatecheng on the south bank of the river."

Qingzhou straddles both sides of the Great River, and a large area of land in the north of Pingyuan County is on the north bank of the Great River, and if it does not retreat to the south bank, it will inevitably be broken by the Liangzhou army.

Liu Bei, who had already made a decision in his heart, looked at Xun Yu very gratefully.

"My lord! What Gongda said is very true! ”

Cheng Yu also glanced at Xun Yu gratefully, and said: "As Yu sees, General Yide should be sent to the front line of Gaotang and Tatecheng to garrison troops.

General Yide and General Xiahou defended the south of the river with all their might, and it was difficult for the Liangzhou army to cross the river easily. ”

"Big brother, please rest assured!"

Zhang Fei stood up with a solemn expression, and said solemnly in his tone: "The foolish brother will definitely guard the northern defense line of Qingzhou and prevent a single soldier of the Liangzhou army from crossing the river south."

Liu Bei glanced at Zhang Fei, then at Tai Shici, and in the end, he fixed his gaze on the face of his third brother.

"With the third brother guarding the front line of Gaotang and Tatecheng, it will be difficult for the Liangzhou army to cross the river south! For the brother is naturally reassuring! ”

Liu Bei stood up, came to Zhang Fei, and said in a serious voice: "It's just ...... The third brother has a short temper and whips the soldiers at will, this is the way to take trouble!

The third brother should always keep in mind that he must no longer arbitrarily punish the soldiers! ”

"Thank you for your teachings!"

Zhang Fei nodded heavily, and immediately, he gave a salute and said loudly: "Foolish brother remember!"

Liu Bei naturally knows the temper of his third brother, and now he has promised well, and if something goes wrong, he will still whip the soldiers.

The country is easy to change, and the nature is difficult to change, this is true!

"Bo Yan can go with Yide!

With you two working together to defend the northern line, I don't have to worry about it! ”

Liu Bei, who was still at ease in his heart, thought about it again and again, and made a decision, "The third brother must not act recklessly, discuss everything with Boyan first, and then make a decision!" ”

"Foolish brother province!"

Nodding heavily, Zhang Fei agreed.

Everyone got up and sent Zhang Fei and Lu Xun out of the account.

Thinking of the possibility of the Liangzhou army attacking Qing and Xu from the north and south, Liu Bei sent Lu Su back to Linzi City, Qingzhou, to preside over the military and political affairs of Qing and Xuzhou.

On the day after the end of the military conference, the Cao-Liu coalition army withdrew eastward from the first line of Mengxian, Suiyang, and Waihuang; Guan Yu and Xiahoudun's two troops and horses also withdrew to the designated defense line.

When Li Mu learned the news of the withdrawal of the Cao-Liu coalition army, he was not much surprised, he had already expected this.

The troops of the Liangzhou Army, from the first line of Fengqiu, Gaoyangting, and Yangxia, advanced eastward to the first line of Baima in Dongjun, Pingqiu and Waihuang in Chenliu County, Suiyang in Chen Guo, and Linsui and Qixian in Peiguo.

………………

Outside Nanpi City, Bohai County, Jizhou!

The Canglong Legion and the Wuqian Legion, with a total of 150,000 soldiers and horses, besieged Nanpi City.

At this time, there were only 30,000 men in the city of Nanpi; There wasn't even a decent general in the city.

Moreover, since Yuan Shao's defeat and return to Nanpi City, he vomited blood, sometimes awake, sometimes unconscious, and basically reached the time when he could not be a director.

Everything is worse for the Jizhou army.

"Report ......"

"Speak ......"

"Qiyu Third Prince, the Liangzhou Army is besieging Nanpi City on all sides, and ...... The enemy tied the eldest son and the second son to the front of the battle......"

But listening to what the soldiers said, Yuan Shang, who was already exhausted, was already pale, and his heart jumped in fright, and he was almost scared to faint.

"What kind of military situation is it?"

At this moment, Yuan Shao woke up slowly, his eyes were blank, his voice was hoarse, and he said intermittently.

"Father's ......"

Yuan Shang knelt in front of the couch, trembling, and he couldn't cry for a long time.

"Say it......"

Yuan Shao coughed a few times, and looked at the soldier with gloomy eyes.

The soldiers did not dare to delay, and they were busy reporting the military situation outside the city.

Before the soldier could finish his report, Yuan Shao had already coughed violently, as if he was going to cough out his lungs, and the blood stained the handkerchief and quilt red.

Yuan Shao's wife, Liu, couldn't cry, changed handkerchiefs over and over again, wiped the blood, and Yuan Shao continued to cough up blood.

"Help me up! Prepare your car! ”

It wasn't until a long time later that Yuan Shao reluctantly stopped, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, as if he was returning to the light.

Liu and Yuan Shang, who were teary-eyed, didn't dare to brush Yuan Shao's meaning, so they had to help him up.

When Yuan Shao came to the west gate of Nanpi City, the Liangzhou army was assembling the stone cart, and it seemed that it was about to be ready.

Yuan Shao, who was weak, couldn't even add armor. He could only reach the battlement, supported by four guards.

Supporting the wall at the battlement, the weak Yuan Shao was already sweating like rain, and his whole body was also shaky, and there was still the last light in his eyes.

When Yuan Shao's umbrella cover appeared at the head of the city, Zhao Yun, Jiang Wei and others had already seen it.

"Yuan Benchu!

Kaesong surrenders, leave you Yuan's corpse! ”

Zhao Yun stepped forward and pointed in the direction of Yuan Shao, the head of the city, his body was already murderous, and his tone was even more murderous!

"Dare to resist stubbornly, the day the city is broken, it is the time when the Yuan family is all awarded."

The Jizhou army above the city head was all frightened, all of them were torn apart, and all of them were trembling like chaff.

Yuan Yi, Yuan Shang, Yuan Mai (one says that it is Yuan Shao's young son, and the other says that it is Yuan Shang's nephew, I don't know!) The three of them, trembling, looked at Yuan Shao with pale faces.

The officers and soldiers of the Jizhou Army looked at Yuan Shao with a begging expression.
