Shore.

Su Zhe immediately trestled the bridge, looking at the enemy fleeing in embarrassment, looking at the corpses left by the enemy soldiers everywhere, and a happy smile couldn't help but appear on the young face.

This battle, happy!

More than 6,000 Yuan troops were annihilated, and the invincible Yuan family iron cavalry also suffered heavy losses, thousands of good horses, countless weapons, all captured by him, this is a veritable victory.

The news of this battle was enough to shock the morale of the Yuan army, boost the morale of their own army, and make them more aware that although Yuan Shao was strong, he was not invincible.

At this time, Gao Shun Pegasus came and arched his hand: "The last general lived up to the trust of the prime minister, and this battle was finally won, but it was a pity that Yuan Tan's family escaped." ”

Su Zhe patted him on the shoulder and praised: "Peping, you fought this battle beautifully, and you deserve to be the first pawn in the world when you fall into the camp!" As for just one Yuan Tan, he escaped and fled, which is not enough to worry about. ”

After receiving the praise, Gao Shun was relieved, and said, "Then what about us now?" ”

Su Zhe whipped and said: "Send the order down, tell Li Tong to abandon Yanjin City, and take the people to retreat south with my army." ”

Gao Shun was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Prime Minister, we have won a big victory, and our morale is high, why do we want to abandon the city and give Yanjin to Yuan Shao for nothing?" ”

Su Zhe didn't answer, but looked at the generals with a smile: "Who can guess why I did this?" ”

Most of the generals were at a loss.

Xu Huang suddenly realized in his eyes, and arched his hand: "Although the Yuan army was defeated and lost more than 7,000 soldiers and horses, this loss of soldiers and horses is like a drop in the bucket for Yuan Shao, and it is not enough to hurt his muscles and bones, and Yuan Shao's absolute strength is still far superior to ours." ”

"Therefore, if Yuan Shao reacts, he will definitely cross the Yellow River with a large army and capture Yanjin, we will definitely not be able to hold Yanjin head-on, it is better to take advantage of the victory to take the initiative to abandon the city and retreat, and refuse to defend the Guandu barrier."

is worthy of Xu Huang, and he is indeed a wise general.

Su Zhe nodded in agreement, and said: "Now you know why I want to take advantage of the victory to withdraw my troops, the Yellow River can't stop Yuan Shao's army, Guandu is the grave we dug for Yuan Shao, let's go." ”

Su Zhe turned around and walked away.

The 40,000 victorious soldiers, carrying the rich booty, withdrew all the way to the Guandu fortress in the south.

……

Hakubadu.

On the north bank of the ferry, 180,000 Yuan troops slaughtered in array, and the battle flag covered the sky, and the momentum was mighty.

Yuan Shao, who was sitting on a horse, still looked at Baimadu on the other side coldly.

On the same day, after he "saw through" Su Zhe's scheme, he rushed to the north bank of Baimadu with his main army and horses, waiting to attack Su Zhe with a half-crossing.

It's just that from last night to now, he has blown a whole day of cold wind, but there is no shadow of half of the Soviet army in Baimadu on the other side.

"Su Zhe, what kind of tricks are you playing...... Yuan Shao muttered, and he had a vague bad premonition in his heart.

Frustrated, his eyes changed, and he said hurriedly: "Lord, it is very likely that we have fallen for the plan of the Su thief, and at this moment he may have led a large army to attack my 10,000 soldiers and horses besieging Yanjin City." ”

Yuan Shao's face changed, and he was so relieved that he wanted to order the army to turn around and rush to Yanjin on the spot.

When the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.

If he rushes back like this, it is equivalent to admitting that he fell for Su Zhe's strategy, and he was led by Su Zhe by the nose with an army of more than 100,000 troops, which made him the face of the number one prince in the world.

Guo Tu on the side saw Yuan Shao's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Even if the Su thief wants to attack my Yanjin army, the eldest prince has five thousand iron horsemen, and I am afraid that the Su thief will not succeed." ”

Yuan Shao nodded slightly: "Guo Tu is reasonable, I am a thief and an iron horseman, enough to reach 100,000 male soldiers, what is the use of the Su thief unless the whole division kills Yanjin." ”

His voice fell, and a scout rushed over, shouting: "Lord Lord, Yanjin is in a hurry, the eldest prince and General Wen were defeated by the Su thieves, and the loss of nearly 6,000 soldiers!" ”

A bolt from the blue!

Yuan Shao's face changed suddenly, there was a buzzing sound, his body shook for a while, and he almost failed to sit still.

The Hebei strategists and generals on the left and right also changed color in shock and were stunned.

"Tan'er, they have five thousand iron horses, why would they lose to the Su thief!" Yuan Shao asked angrily.

The scouts explained how the Soviet army was put out of the trapping camp, how to block the impact of the iron cavalry head-on, and finally counterattacked on the whole line, breaking Yuan Tan's passage.

Yuan Shao's face became more and more gloomy, his chest rose and fell violently, and the flames of anger burned in his heart.

Suddenly, he scolded: "Su Zhe, you traitor, how dare you play tricks on me like this!" ”

He was furious, and he felt so humiliated as he did in his life.

Just a few days ago, he proudly thought that he could easily destroy Su Zhe with an army of 200,000 troops south without any suspense.

Now, he was not only led by Su Zhe's nose, but also attacked by Su Zhe with a move, destroying more than 7,000 of his soldiers and horses.

The soldiers and horses were nothing to mention to him, but this defeat made him lose face.

After this battle, the morale of his soldiers will definitely suffer a heavy blow, and his reputation will also be seriously damaged, which is the blow he can't bear the most.

The frustration on the side sighed: "I reminded the lord before, only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses came to Baima to cross, if that is the case, once the Su thief appears in Yanjin, the lord can lead the army to cross the river immediately to support, but unfortunately, alas, ala......s."

Yuan Shao's face changed again, his expression became embarrassed, and his annoyed eyes glared at him.

Seeing this, Guo Tu immediately pointed at Fu Zhi and reprimanded: "Fu Gonghe, what do you mean, do you blame the lord?" ”

Fu Zhi's face changed, and he immediately said: "How dare I blame the lord, I just want to say that we shouldn't be careless about Su Zhe." ”

Guo Tu snorted coldly: "The defeat in the battle of Yanjin is just because we didn't expect that the Su thieves would fall into the camp, this is simply an accident, with our current strength, we can still crush the Su thieves, what is there to be careless." ”

Frustrated, he was speechless for a while.

Feng Ji also took advantage of the situation and said: "Lord, this is just an unexpected defeat, it's not worth mentioning, we only need to cross the Yellow River south with all the troops now, and go straight to Xudu step by step, even if the Su thief has any Nine Wonders wisdom, any of his conspiracies and tricks will be useless!" ”

Feng Ji and Guo Tu sang and joined together, so that Yuan Shao successfully came out of the embarrassment, and he was no longer ashamed.

His face was full of pride, his whip was raised, and he said proudly: "What you said is extremely true, I am not in the mood to watch the Su thief's jumping performance anymore, so I will order the army to cross the river from the white horse immediately, and give me a straight approach to Xudu!" ”

The order was handed down, and the 170,000 Yuan troops crossed the river on the spot and successfully landed at Baimadu on the south bank.

When they landed on the south bank, they found that Su Zhe had already evacuated the soldiers and civilians of White Horse City, leaving only an empty city full of straw men.

At the same time, the soldiers and civilians on the front line of Yanjin City were all evacuated by Su Zhe, and all the cities along the way to Xudu were abandoned.

Yuan Shao crossed the river to the south menacingly, but what he encountered was empty cities, empty of killing intentions but nowhere to vent.

Yuan Shao, who was angry, ordered the army to drive south and go straight to Xudu.

A few days later, Yuan Shao's army arrived at Guandu, north of Xudu.

This Guandu is located in the upper reaches of the chasm, located at the starting point of Bianshui, and the chasm canal connects Luoyang in the west and Huainan in the east, which is the most important water system north of Xudu.

Guandu is at the hub of the chasm, the Central Plains Plain, which was originally a flat river, began to narrow when it reached the Guandu area.

In order to confront Yuan Shao, Su Zhe began to build a barrier and fortifications in Guandu as early as half a year ago.

Now, Su Zhe is relying on this strong barrier to compete with Yuan Shao in Guandu.
