"This is the matter of the lord, the Donglai army defeated Liu Dai's Yanzhou army, Liu Dai's army was annihilated, and more than 10,000 people of Bao Xin retreated to Jibei. Most of Ying Shao retreated to Taishan County, and the Donglai Army opened the passage to the south of Langya County and was rushing to Tan County! ”

The battle in the north had always been of great concern to Yuan Shu, especially after Liu Shu's defeat.

At this time, when I heard the return of Tanma, I was completely disappointed.

Liu Dai was defeated, not to mention Jiao and that useless waste.

The plan to besiege Dongrae was completely bankrupt and ended.

"Yaoqing, how to deal with it next." It was rare for Yuan Shu to be extremely calm this time.

Perhaps this outcome was predicted and envisaged.

So it's not very grumpy.

Yuan Jian said: "The lord's Xu Ding's troops are about to go south, and then it is his turn to attack, we can only continue to hold Pengcheng, and we should also be prepared to withdraw to Yuzhou." ”

"Withdraw to Yuzhou!" Yuan Shu's face twitched.

Withdraw to Yuzhou, then this time sending troops is equivalent to running in vain.

Not to mention the loss of grain and grass, the 30,000 soldiers who lost money also died in vain.

What's more, it was a huge blow to his prestige.

The most important thing in the family is fame, if he retreats to Yuzhou like this, then he will not become the laughing stock of the world, and anyone can bully and step on him in the future.

"It is impossible to retreat to Yuzhou, it is my last bottom line to pull the war to the front line of Pengchengguo, even if Xu Ding's army is all pressed over, I will not retreat, just fight him to the death here, whether it is three months or half a year, I will spend it with him here to the end." Yuan Shu exerted his ruthlessness as a young ranger at this time.

Yuan Lian wanted to say something, but in the end, he still didn't say it.

As much as Yuan Shu was worried, he also knew this.

The family can lose everything, but it can't lose face, let alone lose fame, once it loses this, it will be difficult in the future.

On the Tan County side, some people are also happy and some are worried.

Xu Ding, Tao Qian and the Elk brothers are on the same side.

Because they also received news from the north, the Donglai army defeated the Yanzhou army led by Liu Dai, broke the enemy army by tens of thousands, and went south in a few days.

And some families led by the Cao family are depressed, not entangled.

On the one hand, they were also happy, after all, the news of this victory indicated that Xu Ding's men and horses could free up their hands to support the Xuzhou battle, and the possibility of driving Yuan Shu away was much greater.

But they didn't want the Donglai army to win so quickly and easily.

It's best to be able to do it for ten days and half a month at night.

Now that it is only five days before the bet, there are still five days to go, and the ghost knows if Yuan Shu, the second and fifth boy, will be scared away.

Soon three days passed, and Yuan Shu found Yuan Jian again.

"Is there something wrong with the lord?" Under normal circumstances, Yuan Shu rarely summoned him, and this time he was urged to come over in the middle of the night, there must be something urgent.

When Yuan Shu walked in, the ground was in a mess, and it was obvious that Yuan Shu had moved his liver fire.

Yuan Shu sighed: "Yaoqing really made you right, we are going to withdraw our troops and return to Yuzhou, and we will pull out the camp and go back overnight." ”

"Xu Ding has made another dangerous plan, so he has to attack our Runan." Yuan Shu was not much surprised by Yuan Shu's decision, but asked a judgmental rhetorical question.

Yuan Shu said: "Yao Qing really expected things like a god, that's right, Xu Ding sent Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin from the Huai River into Runan, of course, this is not the most important, the most important thing is that Liu Biao, an old thing, took advantage of the emptiness of our Yuzhou to attack Nanyang, at this time, the largest half of Nanyang was attacked by him, and if he didn't go back to Nanyang, even half of Runan would be stolen by him." ”

What is called a praying mantis catching cicada and yellow finch is behind, this is it.

In fact, Yuan Shu was guarding against Liu Biaohui's attack on Nanyang, so he sent his general Zhang Xun to guard Nanyang.

But that's it, Liu Biao quietly mobilized the army across the sea to Nanyang, and then divided his troops to attack and advance in many ways.

Zhang Xun was invincible with two fists and four hands, and finally the strategic defense retreated.

Now that Liu Biao has made a move, it is indeed a thorny problem.

But Yuan Shu himself didn't expect that there was another factor that had to make Yuan Shu retreat, and then Yuan Shu said angrily: "And after the news of Liu Dai's death was transmitted back to Yanzhou, Cao Cao's Qu Chen Gong and others ran for it, so that Cao Cao took the Yanzhou Assassin History, and the other counties did not object, Cao Ah concealed that this guy took the opportunity to pick up a big leak, if he and Zhang Miao joined forces to go south, then my Runan would be really dangerous." ”

The relationship between Cao Cao and Xu Ding is well known to be extremely good, and there is no need to talk about the relationship between the two.

If Cao Cao, Xu Ding, and Liu Biao had not even conspired with Sun Jian, who bordered Runan, then he would be really in danger.

So at this time, Yuan Shu didn't dare to take that risk, even if he was unwilling, he had to immediately withdraw his troops and go back to Baoyu Prefecture.

Compared with half of Peiguo and Peng Chengguo, it is really not worth mentioning.

The lesser of harms, that's why he will make a new decision decisively.

"The lord wants to withdraw this time because he wants to ...... "Since Yuan Shu has decided to withdraw from the army, then he is still looking for him Yuan Lian to come over, there must be other things he wants to discuss."

Yuan Shu said: "Xu Ding, Cao Cao, and Liu Biao can join forces vertically and horizontally, I think we can too, Yaoqing, do you think it is possible for me to reconcile with Tao Qian at this time, and even to make an agreement with him not to infringe on each other." ”

Yuan Shu's eyes lit up, although Yuan Shu's ideas can always be very naïve, but now this proposal is extremely suitable.

Yuan Jian praised: "My lord, I think it is feasible, as long as half of Peiguo and Peng Chengguo are returned to Zhao and returned to Tao Qian, I think he will be willing to agree, of course, Xu Ding may not agree, but it doesn't matter, Xuzhou is Tao Qian is Xuzhou, Xuzhou is Xuzhou of the Xuzhou family, even if Xu Ding has the ability to pass through the sky, he can't control Xuzhou for the time being." ”

"If only it worked! You arrange for someone to meet Tao Qian, and I will lead the army to retreat first. Yuan Shu heard that his idea was feasible, and his body and mind were relieved, and then he withdrew to Yuzhou with the army first.

On this side, Yuan Jian originally wanted to send someone to Tan County, but it was best to think about it or talk to Tao Qian in person, and by the way, take a look at the legendary number one Xu Ding in the world.

Soon Yuan Jian came to Tanxian County, and Tao Qian and Xu Ding, who received the news, were a little surprised.

However, Yuan Jian came as an envoy, and neither Tao Qian nor Xu Ding expressed embarrassment for him, so according to the corresponding etiquette, officials were sent to lead him into the city and into the palace.

"Yuan Yaoqing, why are you willing to enter the city?" Although Yuan Jian was allowed to enter the city according to courtesy, Tao Qian's tone was not good.

After all, Yuan Shu was still hostile to him, and Yuan Shu was still the one attacking him, and half of Peiguo and Peng Cheng were still in the hands of the other party, so he naturally wanted to show anger.

Yuan Jian said: "Hui Tao envoy, I am here to represent my lord to settle with the envoy, my lord is willing to withdraw from Xuzhou within three days, and return the area that was temporarily controlled by the cross-border bandits to the envoy." ”

"Exit Xuzhou?"

Except for Xu Ding, everyone was stunned.

Yuan Shu, this guy really wants to quit Xuzhou, how could it be so coincidental, he is really willing, will there be fraud, fake.
