Looking at Feng Ji with a respectful look beside him, Liu Yuan couldn't be happy.

It is said that the killing of Yuan Shao, the great prince, is a great joy for both him and Jizhou.

However, the arrival of the expedited exploration horse made the joy of defeating the strong enemy disappear in an instant, and now Liu Yuan's heart is only anxious, and the only thing left is worry.

At the time of the earliest war, Cao Cao and others not only formed an alliance of princes, but even contacted the Xianbei people bordering Bingzhou in order to defeat him.

At that time, the generals of Bingzhou were not worried, but there were two generals Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei sitting there, and Kebi could not have any good fruit to eat under the two of them.

At that time, Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei had less than 50,000 soldiers under their command, but the number of Xianbei people was more than 200,000.

In order to ensure the victory of the Battle of Bingzhou, Liu Yuan sent Zang Yi and Cheng Yu with 100,000 soldiers to support.

As a result, the already abundant troops became tense.

Coupled with Cao Cao, they formed a huge coalition army composed of the princes of the Six Routes, forcing Liu Yuan to do his best to keep Cao Cao and others out of Jizhou.

The soldiers left for Huang Zhong in this way were all recruits who had just undergone training but had no actual combat experience, and now it seems that these recruits really have problems.

Although they were extremely heroic in the battle, due to their lack of experience in battle, many of Huang Zhong's correct orders could not be completed in time.

Only then would the enemy be suppressed in Yecheng, if it weren't for Huang Zhong, the god of war in Jizhou, maybe the current Yecheng would have been lost.

Especially the inquiry after calling Feng Ji over just now, Liu Yuan's mood became even more anxious, because Liu Yuan knew Huang Zhong's opponent from Feng Ji.

It turned out to be Cao Cao's generals Xu Huang and Xu Gongming, and one person was Chen to Chen Shuzhi, the generals under Liu Bei, no matter which of these two people is not a fuel-efficient lamp!

Needless to say, Xu Huang and Xu Gongming are one of the two most powerful of the five good generals under Cao Cao in history, and it can be said that he and Zhang Liao are equal.

Although Chen to Chen Shuzhi did not have much description in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he was described with a lot of pen and ink in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

According to Chen Shou's book, Chen Zhi is a general no less than Zhao Yun.

Now that Huang Zhong can keep Yecheng under the siege of Xu Huang and Chen Zhi, it can be said that Huang Zhong has done his best.

If you can't reinforce the past in time, maybe Yecheng will be lost at some point.

His parents, wives and children, including most of his parents, wives and children, are all in Yecheng.

Once Yecheng is lost, it will be a fatal blow to his army.

I can't let this happen, but I can't do anything about it now.

In order to crush Lu Bu's bastard's conspiracy before, he had already sent more than seventy percent of the cavalry under his command.

Now that Guan Yu and Jia Xu have already gone away, even if they immediately send someone to chase them back, they may not be able to bring people back faster than they can help.

On the contrary, it may give Lu Bu, a horseman, a chance to take advantage of.

So Guan Yu's side can't count on it at all, but even if there is no large-scale cavalry, he must rush back in the shortest possible time!

Thinking of this, Liu Yuan raised his hand and called Ma Chao, although he knew that Ma Chao and the cavalry under his command had just experienced a cruel battle, but Ma Chao at this time was the only card in his hand.

When Ma Chao came to Liu Yuan's side, he already knew Liu Yuan's intention to call him, and he didn't even use Liu Yuan to speak, Ma Chao himself asked his lord to go to the rescue.

Looking at the blood stains on Ma Chao's face that had not yet dried, Liu Yuan couldn't help but feel a trace of guilt in his heart, but he soon suppressed this guilt!

"Meng Qi, the safety of Jizhou this time is all tied to you. You must rush back to Yecheng in the shortest possible time and try your best to keep Yecheng safe. Remember not to rush to counterattack after you go back, you only need to drag Xu Huang and Chen Zhi under Yecheng! ”

"Please rest assured, if the horse dies this time, we will rush back to Yecheng in the shortest possible time even if we use our legs! Meng Qi promised you that he would not let Yecheng fall into the hands of the enemy! ”

"Good! If, what I'm talking about is if, once Yecheng really can't be saved, then we must preserve the living force! If you are three days late at most, you will definitely be able to rush back to Yecheng! ”

"Don't worry, lord, if you don't have other orders, then Meng Qi will go first!"

"Good! I'll leave everything to you! ”

With Liu Yuan's words, Ma Chao left quickly with his cavalry.

Leaving with him was Zhang Ren, and Zhang Ren's main task was to return to the camp and organize the remaining horses in the camp to send them to Ma Chao's side as soon as possible.

Fortunately, in the previous battle with the princes' coalition army, Guan Yu and Zhang Liao completely annihilated the cavalry under the princes' command, and kept the opponent's war horses.

Now with these replacement war horses, I believe that the speed of Ma Chao and the others will be guaranteed.

This made Liu Yuan somewhat relieved of the safety of Yecheng, which was thousands of miles away.

After Ma Chao and the others left, Liu Yuan took the rest of the people back to Linyi as quickly as possible, and as soon as he entered Linyi City, Liu Yuan summoned his generals.

This time, he made a decision as quickly as possible, and Dian Wei and Zhao Le led 30,000 people to stay in Linyi to prevent those fleeing princes from attacking again.

As for Gan Ning and Gan Ye, they were sent by Liu Yuan to Yuan Shaojun, who had just surrendered.

Liu Yuan's request for them was very simple, that is, let him take 20,000 soldiers and bring these troops back to Jizhou.

And none of the strategists who surrendered with the army were missing, although Gan Ning was somewhat reluctant to Liu Yuan's order, he still nodded and agreed.

Liu Yuan, on the other hand, took Zhang Liao and Yan Yan and led the rest of the men and horses to quickly return to Yecheng, and they gave up all unnecessary baggage to ensure that they could reach the fastest marching speed.

After the arrangement was completed, Liu Yuan did not leave immediately, but let his subordinates rest in Linyi for a while, after all, they had just experienced a fierce battle.

If you blindly return to reinforcement without resting now, not only will you not achieve the goal of rapid reinforcement, but it is very likely that your own soldiers will be exhausted and crushed.

Even if the soldiers under his command can survive and return to Yecheng at the scheduled time, no one can guarantee how much combat strength they still have under the long-distance attack.

Linyi gradually quieted down at night, but Liu Yuan couldn't sleep, he stood by the window and looked in the direction of Yecheng, and muttered to himself:

"Father, mother, eldest brother, sister-in-law, Yan'er, Jiang'er, Wudie, Ning'er, Xiu'er, you must be well, I will go back soon, you must not have anything!"
