Zhou Yu walked quickly into the lobby, saluted Yan Xiang and Yang Hong, who were sitting in the middle, and was just about to speak, when Chen Yu opened his mouth in a strange way.

"Why did I only see General Zhou alone, and General Sun, could it be that he hadn't woken up yet?"

Zhou Yu turned around and bowed to Chen Yu, neither humble nor arrogant. "Dare to tell Chen Jun that in order to answer the general, General Sun has led the righteous servants to set off."

Chen Yu's face suddenly turned red, and he said two words vaguely. Yan Xiang and Yang Hong glanced at each other, and Yang Hong nodded. Yan Xiang raised his voice and said, "Everyone, the situation has been told to you, and General Sun has also set off. Considering that Cao Cao has about 4,000 people, and General Sun is not an enemy, we need to send another 10,000 people to respond. Which general would be willing to ask for help? ”

There was silence in the hall. Chen Yu lowered his head and twisted his beard, looking like he was out of the world. The others were no better, some pretended to be deaf and dumb, and some scratched their ears and cheeks, but they didn't mention the matter of saving Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu is more than auspicious. Yuan Yao is in Cao Cao's hands, once there are three long and two short, Yuan Shu will be extinct. He can marry a wife and have another child, but whether he can give birth to a son, and whether he can grow up after giving birth is a difficult matter. Compared with him, Yuan Shao has three sons, two of whom are adults, and their popularity and fame are by no means comparable to Yuan Shu. If Yuan Shu didn't fall out with Yuan Shao and assisted Yuan Shao with peace of mind, then it would be fine, their support for Yuan Shu was also indirect support for Yuan Shao. It's just that Yuan Shu doesn't know what to do, so he has to work against Yuan Shao, which is a bit unreliable.

Can Yuan Shu be Yuan Shao's opponent? No matter how you look at it, it's a must-lose. Yuan Shu was to blame for his defeat, but they were unwilling to follow the funeral. Now Yuan Shu is not self-sufficient, and he chases Cao Cao with only three or four hundred horsemen for four or five thousand people, which is simply the best result. Yuan Shu himself killed himself, and they just voted for Yuan Shao justifiably.

Cao Cao is Yuan Shao's subordinate, and chasing Cao Cao is to oppose Yuan Shao. Besides, Cao Cao is good at fighting, they have all been taught, for the sake of an uncertain hope, it is not cost-effective to catch up with Cao Cao and fight hard.

Seeing that the generals pretended to be deaf and dumb, Yan Xiang's face was gloomy, and Yang Hong was even more furious. "Most of you are from famous families, and you have always been loyal to your family, loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness. General Yuan is not thin on you, why is it that at this moment of life and death, you are watching from the wall? Chen Gongwei, why don't you speak? You are the general that the latter relies on the most. ”

Chen Yu didn't move, and said casually: "Wenming, you have been locked up in the city, and you don't know much about the things in the post-general camp. ”

Yang Hong said sharply: "Are you saying that I don't know what's going on? ”

"Don't dare." Chen Yu smiled slightly. "But there are some situations, you really don't know, the most important thing for the future general is not us old people, but young talents like Zhou Lang and Sun Lang. No, the elite army they led is now subordinate to the Chinese army, no matter what happens, they are the main force, and there is no need for us old decay to contribute. ”

Yang Hong turned his head to look at Yan Xiang, who sighed lightly and stopped talking.

Chen Yu continued: "Besides, it's not that I don't want to chase, it's just that my subordinates didn't sleep all night the day before yesterday, and they attacked the city for another day yesterday, and the physical exertion is too great, even if they catch up, it's useless." So, for the sake of the general, it's better for civilization to arrange other elites. Saving soldiers is like fighting fire, you better make a decision quickly, if it is delayed, it is not as simple as losing Wancheng. ”

Yang Hong's face suddenly turned red. When Yuan Shu supported Sun Jian, he was responsible for guarding Wancheng. Wancheng fell, and he was the main person responsible. Chen Yu reminded him again and again in front of so many people that this was not a loss of face for him. One of them is the Hongnong Yang family, and the other is the Xiapi Chen family, usually Chen Yu is polite when he sees him, but today he treats each other like this, he is not psychologically prepared at all, and he is about to run away on the spot.

In the back room, Yuan Quan put his arm around Yuan Heng and sighed softly. "Father, what kind of people have you recruited here?"

Yuan Heng raised his head, his two big eyes shining in the darkness. "Sister, what kind of people are Zhou Lang and Sun Lang this time? Then Sun Lang went to save Ah Weng, is it true? ”

Yuan Quan shook his head. "I don't know. This surname is Zhou, I really can't think of which family it is. General Sun Wentai has several sons, but the eldest is only sixteen or seventeen years old, so it shouldn't be him. However, to be appreciated by Ah Weng in such a short period of time, he must also be a person with a similar temperament, and this anxious temperament is not exactly the same as Ah Weng. ”

"So what are we going to do, just sit here and wait for news?"

"What else can we do but wait for news?" Yuan Quan's tears slid down his face. "Usually full of friends, staggered, everyone is loyal and brave, and now there is no one who can be used. Your brother-in-law is a useless scholar, and he can't count on it. Ah Heng, the troubled times are coming, if you want to marry someone in the future, you must marry someone who can protect you, you can't be like my sister anymore, looking at Ah Weng in danger, but you can't do anything. ”

Yuan Heng nodded, hugged Yuan Quan's waist, and sobbed softly.

In the front hall, Zhou Yu stood up and arched his hands. "Master Yan, Yang Changshi, the military situation is urgent, you discuss it slowly, I won't wait here. Sun Bofu only took away the righteous guards, and the three lieutenants under his command were still on standby in the battalion, and I led the headquarters and General Sun's subordinates to catch up and answer General Yuan. ”

Yan Xiang nodded. "There is Lao Gongjin."

Zhou Yu turned around and was about to leave, when Zhang Xun stood up. "Gong Jin, see Xian Siqi, I'll go with you."

Yang Hong stood up and bowed. "There are two Laos. Hong knows that there is a difference between cloud and mud today. ”

——

Cao Cao reined in his mount and looked back.

On the official road in the distance, a cloud of smoke and dust was fine and straight, rising into the sky, and a cavalry was approaching quickly. Without Cao Cao's command, Cao Ren turned over and dismounted, lay on the ground, listened with his ears on the ground for a moment, turned over on the horse, and turned the horse's head.

"General, there are only more than 100 horsemen, you go first, I will destroy them."

Cao Cao remained motionless. "Zixiao, who do you think it will be?"

"Whoever he is."

Cao Cao shook his head. "Zixiao, have you forgotten how Zihe and Zixiu were injured? If it's Yuan Highway, there's no problem, you'll definitely be able to defeat him. If it's Sun Bofu, you can't take it lightly. He not only has warriors like Dian Wei by his side, but also sharpshooters like Huang Zhong, and he himself is also brave and good at fighting. We cannot afford to repeat the mistakes of the past. ”

Thinking of the fierce battle outside the He family's manor, Cao Ren was also a little uneasy. Before joining the army, he once led more than 1,000 teenagers across the Jianghuai, even if he had seen people in the market, but he had never seen warriors like Sun Ce and Dian Wei.

Xi Zhicai coughed lightly: "General, this place is too close to Wancheng, if the light troops are in a hurry, they can arrive in an hour." The disparity between the outnumbered, once caught in the entanglement, it will be unfavorable to our army, is it to go further? ”

Cao Cao smiled. "What Zhicai said, how can I not know. However, there are only more than 100 horsemen in the pursuers, and they can be destroyed between talking and laughing, even if there are reinforcements coming, I have already won and left. What can he do to me? Cao Cao waved his hand, gave the order, turned the horse's head, kicked the horse's belly, and ran towards the gentle slope on one side.

"Inform Yuan Rang to form a formation, ready to answer, let's go see who it is."
