The princes in Yicheng fell into chaos because of the escape of Zhang Ren and Wang Yi.

Now they must prepare for the worst, so that once Liu Yuan in Jizhou really leads his army to attack because of Zhang Ren's news, they will not be caught off guard.

Putting aside the chaos here, after receiving the order of their own lord, Zhang He and Gao Ran each led a sentry under their command to rush out of Linyi City.

Although they have long been dissatisfied with Yuan Shao and have begun to plan to vote for another master, this does not mean that they want Liu Yuan to easily take Linyi.

After all, at this time, Cao Cao, the master in their minds, was also in Linyi City.

If they have the ability to turn the tide this time and lead the army to capture or kill Zhang Ren, I believe that Cao Cao will also be looked at differently by them.

This is also paving the way for their future defection, so Zhang He and Gao Ran really tried their best to hunt down Zhang Ren and the others this time.

As soon as they rushed out of the city gate, they went straight to the place where Zhang Ren and the others had just disappeared.

Soon they were there, found the footprints of Zhang Ren and the others, and followed the footprints of Zhang He and the others to chase down.

This time, in order to allow them, it is possible to hunt down Zhang Ren and the others, and Yuan Shao can be regarded as having a lot of blood.

He ordered his personal guards to vacate a thousand war horses for General Zhang Heer, just to use the speed of the horses to chase and kill Zhang Ren.

This is a decision that Yuan Shao would never make in ordinary times, so it can be seen that Zhang Ren escaped this time, and the princes in the city were really panicked.

Even with Yuan Shao's character, he can't sit still!

At this time, Zhang Ren and the others did not leave for a long time, from the time they disappeared to the time when Zhang Heer would chase after them, at most less than a cup of tea passed.

In such a short period of time, even if there are no horses, Zhang He is confident that he can catch up with the two.

What's more, now that their men are still cavalry, according to Zhang He's prediction, they can catch up and kill Zhang Ren and the others in a quarter of an hour at most.

Thinking of this, Zhang He said to Gao Ran:

"General Gao, Zhang Ren didn't have a long time for this thief to escape. Now you and I are chasing in two directions, left and right, and we will meet in the woods in a moment! This ensures that Zhang Ren's family will not escape death! ”

"You're right, then so-and-so will lead someone to chase along the left. If there's something going on over there, just let out a long howl, and someone will come with someone in no time! ”

"Don't worry, that General Gao, I'll go first!"

After saying that, Zhang He led his men and chased them to the right, while Gao Ran ran to the left with his people.

The reason why they didn't follow the footprints of Zhang Ren and Wang Yi was because the front of the two of them fled was a forest.

At this hour, the sky can be said to be out of sight.

Zhang He and Gao Ran are not fledgling rookies, so they will be less stupid and take people to the woods to pursue.

In that case, it is very unfavorable to their cavalry, and it is easy for the pursued party to slip through the gap of the search while they are not paying attention.

The current Zhang Ren and Wang Yi in their hearts are panicked like lost dogs and anxious like fish that have slipped through the net.

The two of them judged that Zhang Ren and Wang Yi were definitely covering their heads and wanted to escape.

In this way, the two of them went to the other side of the woods to intercept them in advance along the main road, as long as Zhang Ren and Wang Yi showed up, they could easily capture and kill these two!

As the sound of horses' hooves faded away, the place returned to its former tranquility.

However, not long after Zhang He and Gao Ran led their troops away, two people came out of the dark woods.

If Zhang He and Gao Ran saw these two people now, they would definitely regret slapping themselves a few big mouths, because these two people were Zhang Ren and Wang Yi who they thought had escaped.

Haven't the two of them already fled, and why are they here again?

In fact, at the beginning of escaping into the woods, Zhang Ren and Wang Yi really wanted to escape from the woods as soon as possible as Zhang He thought.

As long as they can pass through this forest and go more than twenty miles, they can enter the sphere of influence of the Jizhou army.

In that way, even if the princes in the city were emboldened, they would not dare to continue to send people to hunt down and kill the two of them.

But when they were already about halfway there, Zhang Ren suddenly pulled Wang Yi to stop.

Just when Wang Yi wanted to ask Zhang Ren what happened, he suddenly found that Zhang Ren was standing in place and pondering.

Wang Yi has been following Zhang Ren for seven or eight years, and he is very clear about Zhang Ren's every move, and it is obvious that General Zhang has thought of something important to be like this now.

So although Wang Yi was very anxious, he didn't choose to interrupt Zhang Ren's train of thought, but kept looking around vigilantly by Zhang Ren's side.

Zhang Ren didn't think for a long time this time, and he woke up from his thoughts without a cup of tea, and then he raised his hand and called Wang Yi beside him:

"Jane, we can't keep running forward now! If the princes in the city send people to pursue you and me, then as long as the person who is sent is not stupid, he will definitely find a way to rush to our front. If we continue to run like this, it will be tantamount to throwing ourselves into the net! ”

As soon as Wang Yi heard Zhang Ren say this, he was shocked into a cold sweat, the reason why he didn't think of this just now was because he was too anxious to ignore it.

Now after Zhang Ren's mention, he immediately thought of the seriousness of the matter.

Zhang Ren is not wrong at all, if they just run like this, as long as they get out of the woods, it will be their death!

But if they don't flee now, if the princes of the city send a large number of men to round them up, they will still be dead.

Thinking of this, Wang Yi wanted to ask Zhang Ren beside him what to do?

Just before he had time to open his mouth, Zhang Ren beside him relieved his worries in advance, and only heard Zhang Ren say firmly on the side:

"Jane, let's go back now. Those princes in the city have been frightened by the Jizhou army, and they definitely don't dare to send a large number of people to search for us. According to a certain family's estimate, they can send no more than 1,000 people, so it gives you and me the opportunity to exploit loopholes! ”

Hearing Zhang Ren say this, Wang Yi knew that the wise General Zhang from before was back, and when he met Zhang Ren from the beginning, he felt that Zhang Ren seemed to have changed.

became very hesitant, even to the point of indecision, which made all the decisions made by Zhang Ren before seem a bit dragged.

But since escaping from Linyi, the wise general from before seems to have slowly returned.

This made Wang Yi feel very gratified, this is the general who made them forget their lives and swear to follow!
