It's not just Yang Qiu who is dissatisfied with Ma Chao and playing with horses, a few days ago in the siege, Ma Chao didn't use his own Ma family army, they all used their soldiers and horses as a meat wall, and no one obeyed him.

The situation outside, soon Ma Chao also knew, just wanted to call someone to sort out the soldiers and horses to fight, but was told that the Xiliang army had scattered and fled, Ma Chao was angry and helpless, so he could only take his own men and horses to break out of the encirclement.

Xu Chu and Zang Ba led the Xuanjia heavy cavalry into a no-man's land, cutting melons and chopping vegetables to harvest the lives of the enemy who had not yet fled, and the battle was not over until the sky was slightly bright.

After some counting, except for a few who were unintentionally injured, the Xuanjia Heavy Corps actually did not die for a while, and Xu Chu was so happy that he died.

Due to the sudden attack, the Xiliang army was not well prepared, not only lost more than 10,000 men and horses, but even the supplies were "unintentionally" left behind......

After this battle, Yuan Xi did not rest, and used half of the time to directly drive the Xiliang army out of Bingzhou.

After counting the battle, there was no loss, but a lot of materials were gained.

In Jinyang County, Yuan Xi asked people to move all the materials into the city, preparing to leave everything to Gao Gan.

Yuan Xiang was a little puzzled, "Lord, we have a grudge against Gao Gan, so we don't need to treat him like this, right?" It's all back, but it's enough for us to build a big army. ”

Yuan Xi stood at the head of the city, looked at the busy crowd, and said with a smile: "I'm giving Gao Gan a chance, and also giving me another chance, we don't lack this kind of material, but if you use it well, you can get unexpected results." ”

Yuan Xiang scratched his head and laughed dryly, anyway, he didn't understand, so he felt that Gao Gan and the third son Yuan Shang were together, and there was no need to win them over at all.

Yuan Xi didn't explain much, and asked casually: "Gao Gan is coming back soon, right?" ”

Yuan Xiang said: "Just in the past two days. ”

"Well, let's rest for the night today, and we'll leave early tomorrow morning."

Yuan Xiang was surprised: "Don't wait for him to come back? ”

"Don't wait!" Yuan Xi turned around and went down the city wall.

Yuan Xiang's brain is not enough again......

In June 200, the remnants of the Yuan family, who had been defeated on the front line, returned to Jizhou, Bingzhou, and Qingzhou one after another.

The general Yuan Shao, after coming back and receiving a letter from Cao Cao, became seriously ill, and the affairs of the Yuan family began to be handled by Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang.

Cao Cao did not continue to lead the army to attack, but he did not retreat either, and kept the army in the occupied counties of Jizhou.

At this time, Yuan Xi, who had a small fight in the rear, also returned to Jixian County early.

After he came back, he wrote a letter of thanks to Yuan Xi, but it literally had no other meaning except for Xie Xian.

Yuan Xi didn't care, this was originally a matter of luck, and he could see it.

As soon as Yuan Xi returned to Youzhou, he began to redeploy the three counties that were in contact with the outside world.

Among them, Liaoxi County was guarded by Zhang Liao and Chen Gong, with 20,000 troops.

Fanyang County, which bore the brunt, was guarded by Gao Ran and Hao Zhao, a famous general who defended the city, and Guo Jia was the military division, commanding 40,000 troops.

Dai County still has Pan Feng as the Taishou, and the military division is Xu Shu, commanding 30,000 troops.

The main strength of Jixian County is the Xuanjia Heavy Corps and the Marksman Corps, plus some other generals, totaling more than 13,000 people.

In the place of Gongsun Du of Liaodong County before, there were a total of 20,000 soldiers and horses, and the rest was left to Gao Shun to figure out his own way, and Yuan Xi also expected that there would be no danger there.

There are also 30,000 troops led by Zhang Jaw and Han Meng who confronted the Xiongnu, as well as thousands of men and horses of various sizes in other counties.

At one time, Youzhou had a total of 180,000 soldiers and horses on the surface, which was just right from Yuan Xi's previous prediction.

Of course, in terms of external statements, Yuan Xi's soldiers and horses are still 100,000.

Yuan Xi's army of nearly 200,000 was more than enough to defend a Youzhou, but his budget was Cao Cao, who faced an army of one million alone. So he felt that it was still less.

But there is no way, the population is so much, and if it continues, it will be possible for all the people to be soldiers.

Yuan Xi has been waiting for Jizhou's letter in recent days, but he hasn't waited for a long time. I couldn't help but feel a little pain for a while.

"Teacher, do you think I should take the initiative to see my father?"

After all, the news of his father's serious illness had already spread, and Yuan Xi had returned to Jixian County for half a month. I haven't been there, no matter what, I can't say anything.

Tian Feng shook his head and sighed: "You shouldn't go at this time, your father doesn't want you to go, and your eldest brother and third brother don't want you to go." Therefore, it is better for the lord to stay in Youzhou. ”

As soon as Yuan Xi came back, he recruited Tian Feng back from the four counties of Xianbei, and by the way, let him go over to be the military advisor with Zhang Jaw.

Tian Feng and Yuan Xi have known each other for a long time and call him a teacher, Yuan Xi doesn't think there is anything, but Tian Feng is unwilling, no matter whether Yuan Xi calls him a teacher or not, he is the lord with a mouthful of mouth. Anyway, if you don't change it, Yuan Xi has no choice but to call each other.

For Tian Feng, Yuan Xi and him always feel an indescribable sense of security in their hearts.

Tian Feng can be regarded as a person who has lived two lifetimes, and when he was recruited back this time, he understood that Youzhou was going to be truly displayed in the eyes of the world.

And he Tianfeng will also really return.

A person who has died once, Tian Feng has seen through everything, and he now clearly knows what he wants to do.

Yuan Xi nodded, "I listened to the military advisor, but I heard that General Wen was also injured a little in order to protect his father, and I don't know what happened." ”

Tian Feng said: "General Wen is a veteran of a hundred battles, a little injury will definitely not be a problem, what I am worried about now is the future of our Youzhou in Hebei." ”

Yuan Xi was silent, he knew what Tian Feng meant, after the two battles, the Yuan family's army was really not much left.

It is estimated that all the large armies in front of the front will not exceed 150,000 combined, and most of them are veterans and soldiers who have no combat ability.

There is no harm if there is no comparison, the first time Yuan Xi's 50,000 army came back completely, without any loss, and this time the Youzhou army did not go to the war. Therefore, his 100,000-strong army in Youzhou is somewhat dazzling.

It can be said that the military power of Youzhou now represents the military power of Hebei.

Tian Feng smiled bitterly: "It is said that the general will definitely send someone to let you lead the troops to the front to guard, and by the way, slowly collect your military strength for his own use, but the general did not do this, and did not let you go to see him." Doesn't the lord think it's strange? ”

Yuan Xi didn't know what to say, so he could only remain silent.

Tian Feng stared at him for a while, and then sighed: "Lord, I'm afraid that the general's situation is not good." ”

Yuan Xi was still silent, he knew that Yuan Shao didn't even have much time to live, but what could he do?

Be a filial son? That would only allow him to sink together with the Yuan family in this world.

His heart must be hardened.
