The next day!

Yuan Shu reorganizes his troops!

After the counting, the military judge came over tremblingly and reported: "My lord, last night our army lost 30,000 soldiers, and discarded countless armor and ordnance. ”

30,000 is in the affordable range.

He still has an army of 140,000 under the city of Tanxian County.

He is still a huge army.

So Yuan Shu asked Yuan Shu, who had just walked into the tent: "Yaoqing, what do you say you are going to do next?" ”

Yuan Jian said: "Lord, withdraw from the army, withdraw from Donghai County!" ”

"Hmmm! Yaoqing: What does this mean? Now that we count the losses, our advantage is still there, and the losses are not too much, so why should we retreat from the army. Yuan Shu was a little unhappy, and his face suddenly fell.

Yuan Jian said: "My lord, I just received the news from the south, Xu Ding's apprentice Tian Yu and his subordinate Lu Su captured Huaipu, Xu Ding's Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin attacked Xia Xiang by water, and went around in a circle to capture the upper reaches of Huaiyin, Liu Dai went south with the rout, it is estimated that he wanted to return to Yangzhou, but I guess he was defeated, and he will be defeated completely." ”

"What? Liu Miao wanted to return to Yangzhou. "Yuan Shu is really a little unacceptable.

The only ally was beaten away without even seeing each other.

The Xu Ding Department of the Southern Front has completely room for maneuver and can come to support Tan County.

Overnight!

The situation was completely reversed.

Yuan Jian said again: "Yes, the lord, Lu has reliable intelligence, Liu Xuan's military advisor Liu Ye led 10,000 elite soldiers to the northwest and went alone. ”

I......

Yuan Shu wanted to curse.

How could this guy Liu Miao be so miserable, even his military advisers abandoned him.

This incompetent guy, this loser has been defeated too completely.

"So you're afraid that Xu Dingbu will come to reinforce Tan County." Yuan Shu also discovered this thorny problem.

If you don't attack it, you won't be able to take Tanxian County in a short time, and if you attack it, you may not be able to take it down.

It's a dilemma.

"The troops promised by the lord to come to Tan County for reinforcements are still controllable, and I am most afraid that they will enter Pengcheng along Surabaya, and then they will also cut off the back road, outflank us in a roundabout way, and let us repeat the tragedy of Liu Xuan."

Silk!

Hearing Yuan Shu say this, Yuan Shu sent out this key big question.

If he was really promised to stage such a shocking act again, it is estimated that not only would he be ashamed to death, but Yuan Jian and other Yuan Shu's generals would also commit suicide to apologize.

Liu Xuan's lesson is now, if they don't wake up, it will really be over.

Yuan Shu suddenly fell into deep thought.

Don't you want to return so simply!

This time, Yuan Shu didn't urge, and waited for Yuan Shu to make a decision.

After thinking about it, Yuan Shu finally said: "Order Ji Ling to take 50,000 soldiers to withdraw to Pengchengguo first, we must contain Surabaya, and we must not lose Pengchengguo." ”

The order was handed down by his subordinates, and Yuan Shu turned to Yuan Jian and said, "Yaoqing, the army is not in a hurry to withdraw first, wait for a day or two to see the final result in the south." ”

Yuan Shu still has a trace of illusion about Liu Xuanbao, in case Liu Xuan suddenly becomes fierce, just like he attacked Xuzhou at the beginning, he directly connected the next two counties and pushed forward.

Even though he knew that the result would not be too big, there was still a glimmer of hope.

Yuan Jian said: "This plan is feasible, but the lord can gather the soldiers at the west city gate, and there is no need to surround it, in case Xu Ding can seize the fighter." ”

Yuan Jian didn't think that Xu Ding would have no channels to know the news from the south, and after leaving Ji Ling, his army would be reduced by one-third.

The forces encircled on all sides were slightly diluted.

The Donglai Army is no better than other troops, and it must not be taken lightly in front of them, and must be treated with caution.

Yuan Shu bowed slightly: "Just do what Yao Qing said." ”

The news of Yuan Shu's withdrawal from the siege reached the city, which immediately made Tao Qian and his subordinates very excited.

"Bo Kang Yuan Shu has withdrawn from the siege, it seems that he lost a lot last night." Tao Qian was very happy, after last night's battle, they reversed the defeat, and finally did not have to be overwhelmed by Yuan Shu.

"Next, Yuan Shu is going to retreat to Pengcheng." Xu Dingding said.

Everything was expected.

The southern front was divided into winners and losers, Liu Miao was eliminated, Yuan Shu was difficult to support alone, and he was not afraid of being copied by himself, so he should be wiser.

Otherwise, I don't mind eating him until he has no bones left.

"The prince can't help but say that it's a little earlier, Yuan Shu was newly defeated last night, just regrouped the troops, and then made new deployments, and he may not have to retreat." Cao Hong stood up and said a word, and other Xuzhou officials also agreed.

Yuan Shu's new defeat is true, but retreating to Pengcheng like this is too incompetent.

With an army of more than 100,000 people, he was defeated without fighting a frontal hard battle, and Yuan Shu still had to lose face.

They don't know anything else, anyway, they know that Yuan Shu has a good face.

Xu Ding didn't speak, he poured himself full of wine alone, and smiled a little weirdly.

Yuan Shu withdrew the siege, there was no blockade in the east and south, and soon the news that Liu Miao was defeated and fled south was transmitted into the city.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Liu Miao is finished.

His army of 100,000 is gone?

It's also too fast.

At this time, they understood Xu Ding's confidence in judging that Yuan Shu would retreat.

It turned out that this guy received the news.

It's just that Liu Miao is defeated, Yuan Shu may not really retreat, he has more than 100,000 troops, and there are major families in Xuzhou who have defected, and the foundation is deeper than Liu Xuan.

The background of the fourth world and the third prince is not a joke.

Soon another day passed, and then the city gate came to report: "Report! Good news for the lord, Yuan Shu has withdrawn his troops, and Yuan Shu's army of tens of thousands of troops has retreated to Pengchengguo! ”

"Good!" Tao Qian, who heard the news, was so excited that he couldn't do it.

As Xu Ding guessed, Yuan Shu withdrew his troops and went to Pengchengguo within five days.

This time, Tan County is completely safe.

Although Cao Bao and Cao Hong were also a little surprised, they were more ugly faces.

Xu Ding's bet was right, Yuan Shu, the second and fifth boy, really retired and went to Pengchengguo.

It's too illogical to quit the army without even having an official fight.

"Guys, now it looks like I'm going to win." Xu Ding looked at Cao Bao, Cao Hong and the others and said proudly.

The people who gambled with Xu Ding exchanged heads and talked endlessly, and they were all worried.

Cao Hong stood up again and said: "Junhou, Yuan Shu's retreat to Pengcheng may only be a strategic consolidation and seizure of the land, to avoid making Liu Xuan's mistakes, and it is more difficult to let him fully withdraw from Xuzhou than to kick the sky." ”

The more Yuan Shu retreated, the more he could hold on to the city defense, and it would cost more to attack Xu Shu, and it would be more difficult to defeat Yuan Shu accordingly.

When everyone thought about it, it seemed to be true.

It is almost impossible to repel Yuan Shu out of Xuzhou within ten days.

"Then wait and see, I'm sure there will be many miracles." Xu Ding didn't explain much, because the vision of these people was too small.

Do you think that if you want to defeat Yuan Shu, you have to defeat Yuan Shu in Xuzhou, don't you know that there will be many factors that can make Yuan Shu have to retreat.

Over the next few days, more news came back from the south.

Liu Miao was completely defeated under the city of Guangling, the major generals were killed, Liu Miao himself was also killed, and nearly 30,000 Yangzhou soldiers were captured, which was a complete victory.

Then the various units of Xu Ding's army began to assemble towards the Western Front.

Tian Yu and Lu Su led their troops to attack the capital of Xia Pi, while Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin went west along Huaishui and then swaggered, blatantly turning into the water and entering Peiguo, with great plans to attack Runan and attack Yuan's post-Yuan Chengchi.
