Chapter 320: Losing an Arm
The fire in the city was soaring, so that the Yuan army outside the city was also in chaos. Even though Yuan Shao was unwilling, he could only order the retreat in the face of the rain of arrows in the city. Looking at the Yuan army that was retreating in a hurry, Lu Bu knew that its morale was lost, and he led a large army out of the city to pursue it! In the chaos, Yuan's army was defeated and defeated. If it weren't for the Yuan army on the left and right who came to the rescue in time, I was afraid that Yuan Shao would have let Lu Bu be captured alive in this battle.
The soldiers and horses of the two sides fought for nearly a night, and by dawn, they all retreated. The battle ended with LΓΌ Bu's complete victory, and after the defeat of Yuan's army, even the camp was burned by LΓΌ Bu, and the army retreated twenty miles before setting up camp.
The morale of the Yuan army was greatly lost, and the wounded soldiers in the entire Yuan camp were also everywhere. After a night of fighting, the atmosphere in the entire camp was full of misery. And Yuan Jun's coach Yuan Shao is also full of anger!
"You dare to fornicate with Lu Bu and deceive the army! Drag it down left and right, and cut it off for me! β
In the handsome tent that was hurriedly set up, Yuan Shao shouted angrily!
"Lord, the villain is not guilty......"
The man who was kneeling on the ground and trembling was the messenger sent by Yuan Shao to communicate with Wang Yun, but at this time, his face was as pale as earth! The two clans of Wang Guo surrendered, resulting in the rout of the army! This defeat caused Yuan Jun to suffer heavy casualties! Not to mention the more than 10,000 soldiers and horses of the Yuan army who broke into the city, they were killed by the Lu army in the chaos, and there were thousands of people who trampled on each other and died! With such a big defeat, how could Yuan Shao not be furious?
Regardless of whether this Xiang Yong has fornicated with Lu Bu or not, he is destined to be a tragic ending. With such a big defeat, it is natural to find a scapegoat. Yuan Shao was so angry with Wang Guo and the two clans and that Lu Bu at this time, but what could he do? can only pull this Xiang Yong out and cut it first, in order to calm the army's heart.
The left and right armor soldiers dragged Xiang Yong, whose face was like earth, down, and after a while, he carried Xiang Yong's head up. Yuan Shao didn't even look at it, but he asked Xiang Yong's head to hang on the flagpole to show the public.
After beheading Xiang Yong, Yuan Shao's anger still did not subside, he was very angry at the betrayal of the Wang and Guo clans! This is a little regretful in his heart, how can he believe these two clans gullible! Now it's a loss of soldiers! Even his beloved general Yan Liang doesn't know whether he is alive or dead. He was angry and worried at this time, and he didn't know what happened to Yan Liang and the more than 10,000 soldiers and horses.
However, judging from the sky-high fire in the city last night, Yan Liang's more than 10,000 soldiers and horses are probably more than lucky.
"Last night, I mistakenly hit Lu Bu's treacherous plan, resulting in the loss of the army! Now that the morale is lost, what should we do? β
Yuan Shao's gaze swept over everyone.
A big defeat, everyone's faces are a little ugly. Not so long ago, they were confident. I thought I would be able to conquer Jinyang! But now the situation has changed greatly, and after this big defeat, it is estimated that morale will not recover for a period of time.
"The lord's morale is now lost, and I am afraid that he will not be able to move troops in a short time! But our army still has an advantage over the Lu army! The plan now should be to strengthen the camp defense, and beware of Na Lu Bu taking advantage of the low morale of our army to sneak attack the camp......"
Xu You stood up.
In the battle last night, it can be said that his responsibility cannot be escaped. If he hadn't made a plan to let Yuan Shaoce oppose the Taiyuan Wang clan as an internal response, it would have been impossible for the Wang and Guo clans to be pitted. It's just that even though Yuan Shao looked at Xu You and was angry, Xu You also had a good personal relationship with him, and if Xu You hadn't dissuaded him from entering the city last night, I am afraid that it would not be Yan Liang who fell into the city, but him Yuan Shao.
Thinking of this, Yuan Shao didn't give Xu You any punishment, but now when he saw Xu You's plan, he was displeased, and he didn't respond to Xu You's words.
Yuan Shao has such a character, that is, when he hates a person, no matter what that person says, he doesn't feel good enough. Obviously, in his eyes, Xu You's strategies are not good enough. Yuan Shao glanced at the people under the tent, except for Fu Zhi who was not standing here, Feng Ji Xin commented that Guo Tu was here. As for the generals, Zhang He, Gao Lan, and Liyi are also here. Wen Chou was trapped in the city because of Yan Liang, and he desperately wanted to enter the city last night to rescue his brother, but he was injured and still recuperating.
"What do you think we should do now?"
Yuan Shao pointed out Guo Tu.
"My lord, I think it's better to retreat from the army now! I really don't think it's a wise move to go afar and annex the states! Now Gongsun Chan in the north has not yet been resolved, and the army is on an expedition, and there is a fear of chaos in the rear! Moreover, even if Lu Bu won this time, he was still just a horseman! If the lord can destroy Gongsun Zhan, relieve his worries, and annex the land of the three states of Youji, why can't he kill Lu Bu, the thief? β
Guo Tu admonished.
As soon as his words opened, Xin Ping next to him couldn't sit still! How could this Guo Tu say such words? This conquest of Lu Bu was decided by Yuan Shao personally. Now this defeat is to blame the fact that Lu Bu cannot be conquered, which is really a bit reluctant! Besides, Guo Tu even dared to say that there was a fear of chaos in the rear? That's a good bad word! This was about to come forward to admonish, but when he saw Yuan Shao's face darkened, "Lu Bu killed my general and despised me!" How can I ignore it? Although our army is defeated today, our ambition is still to capture Jinyang, and the words of retreat, don't say anything more! β
"Report! Lu Bu sent a messenger to return the body of General Yan Liang......"
As soon as Yuan Shao finished speaking, he saw a small pawn come to pass the ceremony.
Rumble!
Yuan Shao stood up suddenly, only to feel that his head was a little buzzing! Even though he knew that Yan Liang was very lucky, but knowing the news of Yan Liang's real death, Yuan Shao was still a little uncomfortable, and his voice trembled a little, "Where is Gongji's body?" β
There is no doubt that if Yan Liang is not for merit, then it is not him Yan Liang who died. But in Yuan Shao's eyes, it is not like that. Last night, he wanted to personally lead his troops into the city! Even if he was frustrated and advised him, the handsome flag fell, which was an ominous omen. It's just that Yuan Shaozhi was full of pride at that time, how could he listen to the advice of the frustrated professor? I just think that frustration is too cautious. Therefore, Yuan Shao, who wanted to enter the city, let Yan Liang enter the city first. It was precisely because after Yan Liang entered the city that Xu You and the others noticed the abnormality in the city, so that Yuan Shao did not enter the city first.
So from Yuan Shao's eyes, Yan Liang died for him! Such a fierce general who charged on the battlefield was killed at this time! How not to make Yuan Shao sad?
You must know that by his side, there is no one who trusts Yan Liangwen and Chou the most. Even though the Hebei Shuangxiong is a little worse than commanding the troops, when it comes to charging into battle, who can stop them? Yan Liang's death in battle is tantamount to breaking Yuan Shao's arm!
Thanks for the 100 tip of the sugar! Thanks to tough for the 200 tip!
