"Father, father..." Yuan Xi retreated in defeat and moved closer to Yuan Shao.

"Why are you back?"

Yuan Xi hurriedly said: "Father, the enemy has added reinforcements..." ”

Yuan Shao's attention was originally in Lu Bu and Li Yuanba, but now when he turned around, he saw that the frontal battlefield had been defeated and retreated. Mu Guiying, Xiahou Yuan, and Xiahou Yuan's soldiers and horses were crushing over at an extremely fast speed.

Frustrated and exclaimed: "Lord, let's avoid it first?" ”

Xu You and Guo Tu are also extremely worried.

Yuan Shao's eyebrows were tightly locked, anxious like ants on a hot pot, walking around on the car to relieve the pressure in his heart. He also held on to a glimmer of hope that if Yan Liang and Wen Chou could capture Lu Bu, they would be able to reverse the defeat.

"Hold on! Be sure to stick to it! Yuan Shao said to himself.

Time passes minute by minute...

The sun sets and night falls.

Lu Bu, Li Yuanba, and Li Cunxiao, relying only on their own strength, have persevered until now, except for the Chitu horse who was slightly injured, the others are fine.

If Li Yuanba and Li Cunxiao could be strictly ordered to kill Yuan Shao, it is estimated that Yuan Shao would have been repelled long ago. Because no one can stop them. From the beginning of the battle to the present, it has been an aimless fight, killing people for the sake of enjoying killing, experiencing the thrill of killing, and forgetting the purpose of going to the battlefield.

Xu Chu's Tiger Guards had broken through the defenses of Yan Liang and Wen Chou and moved closer to Lu Bu.

Xiang Yu also took control of the situation and advanced in the direction of Yuan Shao.

Mu Guiying, Xiahou Xuan, and Xiahou Yuan, after defeating Yuan Xi's soldiers and horses, chased and fought fiercely, all the way to Yuan Shao.

"Lord, go quickly!"

"Withdraw, withdraw!"

............

Yuan Shao could no longer hold out and ordered the whole army to retreat north.

Woo woo...

The clarion call for withdrawal resounded on the battlefield.

As soon as Yuan Shao left, Daxu moved north.

The soldiers of the Yuan army, with no morale, chased after Yuan Shao's Daxu.

Xiang Yu roared excitedly: "Yuan Shao is defeated, Yuan Shao has escaped... Soldiers, kill! ”

The broken military camp followed closely with Xiang Yu and pursued the cavalry with open jaws.

Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang led the army to block Mu Guiying in order to let Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Zhang Jaw withdraw. However, after Mu Guiying joined forces with Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan, his combat effectiveness was super strong, and he couldn't stop it at all.

So, without waiting for Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Zhang Jaw to withdraw, they went to chase Yuan Shao.

As a result, Yan Wenzhang's soldiers and horses were blocked by Mu Guiying and could not be withdrawn, and they were forced to fight with the Tiger Guards and the broken military camp behind him.

"Two generals, don't chase. Yuan Shao will hand it over to the ambush soldiers on the north side of Fugou, let's kill Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Zhang Jaw first. Mu Guiying grabbed the reins of the horse and said to Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan.

"Okay, everything is up to General Mu's arrangement." Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan replied.

Immediately, the tiger and leopard cavalry, the Long Xiang battalion, the Danyang soldiers, and the Long Wei army all turned around and participated in the encirclement and annihilation of Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Zhang Jaw.

With the combined efforts of all the armies, they continued to shrink and encircle.

After a fierce battle, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Zhang Jaw were captured.

The 100,000 horse infantry army lasted only two hours before being completely annihilated.

Night.

Soldiers carry torches and clean up the battlefield.

Lu Bu wiped the Qingyu Sword and reprimanded Li Yuanba and Li Cunxiao: "What is the purpose of our entry into the battle?" Isn't it just to capture Yuan Shao? Why didn't you kill Yuan Shao after entering the battle? ”

"Uh... I forgot. Li Yuanba and Li Cunxiao were a little speechless. After being reminded by Lu Bu, he remembered the words 'capture the thief and capture the king first', and left what Lu Bu said behind.

Xiang Yu walked over excitedly and said, "Lord, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Zhang Jaw were all captured by the broken military camp. ”

"Okay."

Lu Budao: "We have suffered a big loss in this battle, and we must get it back from Yuan Shao and Cao Cao." Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Zhang Jaw are Yuan Shao's generals, and they will definitely spend a lot of money to ransom them. You have to watch tightly and don't make any mistakes. ”

"Don't worry, my lord, they can't run." Xiang Yule said.

After cleaning up the battlefield, the armies returned to Fugou County.

The sky has dawned.

Cao Ren sent back the news that Yuan Shao broke through the encirclement and headed towards Hebei.

"Cao Mengde, I, Lu Bu, am sincerely allied with you, and in order to help you fight Yuan Shao, the armies suffered heavy casualties. Why did you deliberately let him go? Lu Bu had a gloomy face and questioned Cao Cao.

Xu Shu and Liu Bowen were all indignant.

Cao Cao said: "General, don't misunderstand, Xu is Yuan Shao's life should not be extinguished..." ”

"Shit! His hundreds of thousands of troops have been wiped out, and less than 20,000 people are left to flee to Guanyangpo, and you still can't stop it? Are your soldiers all rubbish? Lu Bu roared angrily and said, "If you don't make it clear, this matter is not over!" ”

Xu Shu also said: "In order to exterminate Yuan Shao, we suffered nearly 30,000 casualties. Such a great sacrifice has never been made before.... ”

"If you don't give me an explanation, I'll let you taste the sharpness of the dragon halberd!" Xiang Yu stood up and pointed at Cao Cao with his coiled dragon halberd.

The generals in the hall drew their swords one after another.

Xu Chu moved closer to Cao Cao.

The atmosphere became oppressive.

Lu Bu shouted: "What are you doing? Take your sword back! ”

Xiang Yu, Li Yuanba, Li Cunxiao, and Mu Guiying sat back in place.

Cao Cao also ordered his generals to collect their swords.

"General Lu, in the battle of Guanyangpo, although Yuan Shao was not captured, he wiped out all his soldiers and horses. When Yuan Shao went to the bank of the Yellow River, he rode dozens of horses behind him, like a lost dog, which can be regarded as a bad breath for us. ”

"I don't want to hear this, I just want to ask, why didn't you catch Yuan Shao?!"

"In war, it's inevitable that everything will be sparse." Guo Jiadao.

"What does Bong-hyo mean that my army will die in vain?" Lu Bu pretended to be angry and said: "From the first year of Jian'an to the fifth year of Jian'an, I have fought countless battles, and none of them have been defeated. In addition to the battle of Guanyangpo, he ambushed Yuan Shao with an absolute superiority of troops, and also allowed Yuan Shao to flee back to Hebei.... ”

After reprimanding Cao Cao's generals, Lu Bu drank the bottle of wine angrily.

Cao Cao understood very well in his heart that Lu Bu was not really angry, but wanted to make a big fuss and ask for more benefits, so he said: "I apologize deeply for the battle of Guanyangpo. However, Yuan Shao's life should not be extinguished, he has fled to Hebei, even if I send light cavalry to chase after him, he may not be able to catch up. General Lu, the 30,000 elites you lost will be made up by me, and the captured after the war will also belong to you, how about it? ”

"Ahem..."

Lu Bu's expression eased slightly, looked at Xu Shu on the right side, and ordered, "Yuan Zhi, report our losses." ”

"No."

Xu Shu got up and said: "The loss of 30,000 elite soldiers in this battle requires compensation to their families, which is equivalent to 360 million copper coins. 3,000 good horses and 14,000 ordinary war horses were lost.... ”

After Xu Shu finished reading, the corners of Cao Cao's mouth couldn't help twitching.

Guo Jia and Xun You also looked sad. Although he defeated Yuan Shao and gained temporary peace, he owed a bad debt, how to repay it in the future? Don't you want to be ridden by Lu Bu around the neck forever?
