Chapter 508
Not to mention that when Yan Shao had a rare enjoyment in the Plains City, Zhang He and Xu You, who escaped in embarrassment, had already come to a position more than ten miles away from the city.
This distance is not very far. However, unlike later generations, many places in this era are sparsely populated, even if it is a city like Luoyang or Chang'an, I am afraid that it will become like this within a few miles of the city wall. For example, a small city like the plain, don't look at the distance of only more than ten miles, there are no tigers and leopards, but jackals are indispensable. And with Zhang He and Xu Yu leaving the plain together, there was no one else except for dozens of horses.
Tugged on the reins, slowing down the war horse under his crotch, Xu You turned his head and said to Zhang He. "General Zhang, how about you take a break for a while?"
Glancing back at the direction of the plain, he silently calculated the distance he and the others would leave, and Zhang He nodded. "It's okay, just listen to the gentleman..."
As he spoke, Zhang He waved his arm.
After escaping from the city, although they were all embarrassed, these cavalrymen could be taken by Zhang He's side, and they were all elites who had followed him for many years. Seeing Zhang He's movements, they all grabbed the reins one by one, but after a while, dozens of horses all stopped and looked at Zhang He.
To be honest, at this time, the cadres and others really need to take a good rest, this time they came out of the city in a hurry too much, many of them didn't even have their armor tidied up, and the road was running wildly. If it weren't for the urgency of escaping, I am afraid that I would have stopped a long time ago.
Now that he heard Zhang He's order, he naturally turned over and dismounted one by one and prepared for it.
Anyway, the distance of more than ten miles is not long, but it is not short. Although they were heading north, there were so many roads to the north, and they had chosen a remote path, and unless they were too unlucky, the chances of finding them were slim.
And while everyone was resting, Zhang He and Xu You also got together. ,
This time they lost the plains, although it can't be regarded as their responsibility, but if they lose the city, they will lose the city, and they still have to carry the pot...
In front of Yuan Shao, the two of them were afraid that they would be punished, so naturally they had to confess first, the two were already grasshoppers on a rope, and there was still a tacit understanding...
"It's a pity, if the lord could have led the army south earlier, maybe he would have been able to hold the plain, but now..." Looking at the sky where there was still some fire in the distance, Zhang He couldn't help but sigh.
The small plain city, of course, can't get into Zhang He's eyes, but as one of the famous generals in Hebei, he is now defeated by others, which makes him somewhat unacceptable.
Zhang He was still sighing here, but Xu You over there was shocked when he heard it, and hurriedly stopped him. "How can General Zhang complain about the lord, when it comes to the lord, the two of us just need to obediently admit the guilt. The lord is forgiving, and he misses the old, even if the two of us lose the city, I will definitely not punish too much. If you say that just now, don't mention it again before the main account, if someone hears it, I'm afraid you and I will be in trouble..."
It is indeed not their responsibility to lose the plains, if Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses can go south a little earlier, with enough troops, coupled with Zhang He's previous arrangement, it is not impossible to hold the plain city.
But even though this is the case, it cannot be said.
Xu You is the old man next to Yuan Shao, and he knows very well what his character is. How to say it, Yuan Shao can be regarded as nostalgic for the old, and the old man who has followed him for many years, as long as he doesn't offend him, there is basically no big problem. The only drawback is that he is too face-saving, and he will never be soft on those who dare to let him lose face.
Zhang He is his favorite general, but if he offends him, he will not be soft.
If he really dared to say such a thing in Yuan Shao, Xu You was afraid that he would also be implicated, so he couldn't stop Xu You quickly, lest he get into trouble.
At this time, Zhang He had already reflected, knowing that he had lost his words, so he hurriedly shut up and didn't dare to say more.
But when the two of them were silent there, there was some commotion in the forest not far away.
These people have finally escaped from the city, and they have even experienced a fight on the way out, and now they are in a state of mental tension, and the sound from the passage forest, one by one, all of them have drawn their swords, and some of them are panicked and think that they are in an ambush.
Zhang He and Xu You also hurriedly stood up, and Zhang He even drew his blade.
"Alert!"
At the sound of an order, these cavalry gathered together, and some even pushed their war horses in front of them, and if there was a rain of arrows in the forest for a while, they could resist it.
Fortunately, just when the people were nervous, someone in the forest finally spoke.
"Is it General Zhang He? Don't be nervous, we are General Wenchou's soldiers! ”
As he spoke, he saw more than a dozen people walking out of the forest, wearing the armor of the Jizhou army.
Seeing that the people in the forest were wearing the armor of the Jizhou Army, Zhang He and the others were somewhat relieved, but they did not dare to relax their vigilance, until they negotiated with each other and determined the identities of both parties, Zhang He let people put down their blades. While talking, they also sent someone back to the forest, and after about a quarter of an hour's work, they saw Wen Chou and Juan two people, surrounded by a large group of people, coming over.
Looking at Zhang He's embarrassed appearance, Wen Chou was a little disdainful, but the judge frowned and asked.
"Has the Plains been lost?"
As he spoke, he glanced at Xu Yu beside Zhang He.
Of course, Zhang He didn't notice this look, but said with some guilt. "It is the last general's dereliction of duty, the loss of the plain..."
Hearing this, Wen Chou snorted coldly, but the judge shook his head.
"I can't blame you all, alas, it's a pity, now that the plain has fallen into Yan Shao's hands, it is equivalent to letting the Qingzhou Army insert a nail in Hebei, and now it will be difficult to pull it out..."
As one of Yuan Shao's advisors, how could he not understand the importance of the plain.
It's just that it's useless to say more, and he doesn't want to blame Zhang He more, after all, in an isolated situation, it's good that Zhang He can hold on for so long.
"Right now, Yan Shao has just taken the plain, he is happy in his heart, I am afraid that he is getting carried away, he must not have much defense, if we take advantage of the situation to lead the troops to fight at this time, we will definitely be able to surprise them!" Wen Chou said.
However, the judge quickly shook his head. "That Yan Shao is also a person who is good at using soldiers, he has a lot of capable people, and he will not relax his vigilance, and even if we kill him by surprise, it will be impossible to take the plain with our troops, but we may expose our whereabouts..." The most important thing at the moment is to fight with the lord as soon as possible, the plain is lost, and only with the strength in the hands of the lord can it be possible to recapture the city..."
