Julu County Ren County, the camp of the Koji Righteous Army. Since being defeated by Gongsun Chan and Tai Shici, Ko Yi retreated to Ren County, and at the same time stationed troops in Nanhe County and Pingxiang County, forming a corner in the three places to resist Gongsun Zhan's footsteps southward. And the effect is also obvious, Gongsun Chan was stubbornly blocked by Koji Yi in the north of Ren County, and he was not allowed to take the next step in the south.

However, this situation, with the news of Liu Bei's defeat of Fu Zhu in Qinghe, has also undergone some new changes.

In the main tent, Koji Yi and Xin Ping sat opposite each other, Xin Ping took out a letter, handed it to Ko Yi, and said, "General Koji, this is a letter sent by the lord." ”

Koji looked at the sealed letter, a smile on the corner of his mouth, and then opened the letter, took out the paper, and began to read the contents of the letter.

After reading it, Koji Yi had a look of shock on his face, as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing. And Xin Ping looked at Ko Yi's expression, his face changed slightly, and he became more and more curious about the content of the letter.

Before, due to the consideration of Ko Yi's character, Xin Ping did not open the letter without authorization, so Xin Ping didn't know anything about the content on it, but now looking at the change in Ko Yi's expression, Xin Ping is all kinds of speculations have surfaced in his heart.

Koji Yi also seemed to remember that Xin Ping hadn't read the content of the letter at this time, and handed the letter to Xin Ping after reining in the change in his expression, and Xin Ping saw the content of the letter, his face was also shocked, looked at Koji Yi, and asked, "General Koji, why is this?" ”

Lu Yi shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "You ask me, who do I ask, and I don't know why the lord wants us to withdraw our troops back to Yecheng?" ”

Xin Ping pondered for a moment and said: "Even if Fu Gonghe, Zhang Junyi and Gao Boguan were defeated by Liu Bei in Qinghe, but our army has already assembled tens of thousands of troops in Wei County, and we only need to send them out to occupy the advantage, but we should not withdraw our troops at this time, if Gongsun Zhan takes advantage of the situation to fight under Yecheng, wouldn't it be our sin?" ”

If it weren't for the fact that Xin Ping personally received this letter from Yuan Shao's cronies, he would almost have thought that someone was pretending to be Yuan Shao's messenger in order to get them to withdraw their troops. But the person who sent the letter, Xin Ping, had seen it, he was a close confidant of Yuan Shao, and when he followed Yuan Shao for a long time, it was impossible to betray Yuan Shao.

Li Yi's heart was also full of unwillingness at this time, although he was defeated by Gongsun Zhan, but now he is retreating to Ren County, which also makes Gongsun Zhan unable to advance, but Yuan Shao's letter asked him to immediately lead his troops back to Yecheng, which can't help but make Lu Yi feel a sense of grievance in his heart.

Finally, after arranging the defense line in Ren County, you can start planning to counterattack Gongsun Zhan, but a letter from Yuan Shao arrived, which made Lu Yi give up everything previously arranged, and who can stand this kind of thing?

After Xin Ping digested the contents of the letter, he rubbed his eyebrows and said, "General Koji, what are we going to do next?" ”

A cold look flashed in Lu Yi's eyes at this moment, and he said: "The general is not subject to the order of the foreign monarch, and now the lord is still in Yecheng, and he doesn't know much about the situation of Julu, so he will make such an order, and now Ren County must not give up, otherwise wouldn't it be a long drive for Gongsun Zhan to go straight to Yecheng?" ”

Xin Ping only felt a headache, he knew that Koji Yi would have such an attitude, and said: "But General Koji, this is the lord's order, it's not good for us to do this, and even if the lord doesn't know much about the situation of Julu, there are still Zhenzhengnan, Tian Yuanhao, Xun Youruo and others around the lord, maybe there is any information in this that we don't know." ”

Looking at Koji Yi, whose face changed as he spoke, Xin Ping decisively suppressed the words he was going to say in his heart, and said instead: "General Koji, it's better to stay in this way, let's hold our troops for nowhere, and then send someone to Yecheng to confirm whether the content of this letter is what the lord said, and then make a decision, how about it?" ”

Although Lu Yi was arrogant at this time, he also knew that some things could be done and some things could not be done, and he was also extremely surprised by Yuan Shao's order, and he was unwilling to give up the arrangement of his giant deer like this, this Xin Ping's suggestion was a compromise.

"Okay, that's what you see."

A few days later, when the guards sent by Liyi returned, they also brought a message from Yuan Shao, asking Liyi to quickly withdraw his troops from Julu and return to Yecheng, as for Julu, he threw it to Gongsun Zhan.

confirmed that this was what Yuan Shao said personally, although Lu Yi was extremely surprised in his heart, but Yuan Shao said so, and he couldn't say anything if he continued to disobey.

After that, the two of them withdrew their troops from Ren County before Gongsun Chan could react, and quickly withdrew with his soldiers, and when Gongsun Chan reacted, the Yuan Shaojun camp in Ren County, Pingxiang County and Nanhe County had become an empty camp.

As for why Koji Yi suddenly withdrew his troops, Gongsun Zan discussed it with his subordinates Yan Gang, Guan Jing and others for a long time, but they didn't discuss the reason. However, the withdrawal of the army by Koji Yi is a good thing for Gongsun Zhan, which means that Gongsun Chan can lead his elite cavalry all the way to Yecheng.

However, Gongsun Chan also suspected that Koji Yi suddenly withdrew in order to ambush himself, and in the following days, Koji Yi marched towards Yecheng, and at the same time sent the most elite scouts under his command to inquire in the direction of Yecheng. However, it turned out that Gongsun Zhan's worries were unnecessary, and until Gongsun Chan led his troops into the territory of Wei County, he was not ambushed by Ko Yi. And after the Gongsun army entered Wei County, even if he wanted to ambush him, it was meaningless.

When Gongsun Zan led his troops from Julu into Wei County, Liu Bei also took Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Tai Shici, Sun Qian and others from Qinghe and entered Wei County. Since then, the joint action of Gongsun Chan and Liu Bei can be said to be singing all the way, Gongsun Chan now has 20,000 people under his command, and Liu Bei has almost this number, and the total number of the two coalition forces is nearly 40,000 people have entered Wei County, Jizhou, and can threaten Yecheng at any time.

After Gongsun Chan and Liu Bei got the news of each other, they also quickly communicated with each other, and then Gongsun Jun and Liu Beijun two armies from the north and one from the south, straight towards Yecheng, a few days later, the two armies of nearly 40,000 people arrived under Yecheng, along the way, so smooth that Gongsun Chan and Liu Bei felt a little unbelievable.

However, now that they have arrived under Yecheng, the next step is to take down the capital of Jizhou, and this joint march of Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei can be declared victorious.

Outside Yecheng, Gongsun Zhan and Liu Bei walked side by side, looking at Yecheng in front of them, their eyes were excited. Take a look at the latest chapter of "Wu Yao Mountain and River Claw Book House of the Three Kingdoms" to read for free for the first time.
