Chapter 290: Counterattack on All Fronts (4)
Zhou Jin's people passed Yu Ban's battle report to Chu Yan, Chu Yan was overjoyed, so he ordered the whole army to let go of the fight, and the Gao Gan army was already beaten to the point that there was no power to fight back, and now Chu Yan Jun has no worries, which is simply a disaster for Gao Gan.

After five consecutive days of fierce fighting, both armies were exhausted, but Chu Yan's army had won a lot, and the soldiers were highly motivated and did not feel tired at all.
After more than half of the casualties of the Gao Gan army, soldiers began to surrender one after another, and Chu Yan divided a surrender team of hundreds of people to receive the surrendered soldiers, and then transferred them to Yuyang County, so that Upa was responsible for resettlement.
To the north of Yuyang County is the Wuhuan prairie, in recent years, the foreign race has repeatedly violated the border, most of the people have moved south, the north can be said to be vast and sparsely populated, Upa is responsible for the defense of Yuyang County, and by the way also took over the government affairs, these soldiers have been sent to the northern area of Yuyang County, Upa's policy is that the land is reclaimed for free, in addition to the military rations that began to be supplied, they will make a living by themselves in the future.
Land is a very precious thing in this era, where can these soldiers be treated with such preferential treatment? The land is opened casually, and when it is opened, it is planted by itself, and there is no need to pay taxes, and at first Upa was worried that they would escape, but now it seems that they will not be able to get rid of it.
In the next half month, Upa let a few soldiers who had received preferential treatment quietly return to the high-ranking army and secretly engaged in propaganda.
The fierce battle finally had a chance to armistice, and Gao Gan finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he was soon dumbfounded, and the soldiers of the whole battalion ran almost overnight, and some were still middle-level officers at the level of generals!
The next night, ran a lot, Gao Gan beheaded a few captains who took the lead in escaping, but still could not stop this state, in desperation, Gao Gan had to withdraw the army, and was intercepted by Yu Ban on the way south, and fought for a while, Gao Gan only fled back to Nanpi with more than ten personal soldiers.
Yuan Shao was so angry that he vomited three liters of blood, and he couldn't afford to be sick, so Feng Ji, Guo Tu, Xun Chen, Xin Ping, etc. all came to comfort him.
Feng Ji said: "Lord, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and you must not be obsessed with a momentary victory or defeat." β
Guo Tu said: "My lord, my subordinates have a strategy to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle, which can solve the current difficulties. β
Yuan Shao said: "Quick! Let's talk about it, how to solve this dilemma? β
Guo Tu said: "Dongjun guards Cao Cao. β
Xin commented: "What does Brother Guo mean by letting Cao Cao send troops to the plains? β
"Exactly, Cao Cao's Dongjun Taishou is still the lord's performance, and because he has an old relationship with the lord, he will definitely help. His subordinates are not talented, and he is willing to invite Cao Cao to send troops with his three-inch tongue, Liu Bei will suffer from the enemy on his back, and Guan Yu will naturally withdraw his troops. β
"This strategy can only go all the way to the enemy army, a drop in the bucket!" Feng Ji has always been at odds with Guo Tu and Xin Ping, and retorted.
Yuan Shao said: "If you can go all the way, go all the way, Guo Tu will go and lobby Cao Cao." Let's see what good plan Tian Kai has? β
Feng Ji said: "Tian Kai is under the command of Gongsun Zhan, and we have always had a grudge, and now he is strong and strong, I am afraid it will be difficult to get it." β
Yuan Shao said: "Can't the two armies of Wen Chou and Jiang Yiqu be broken?" β
Guo Tu said: "As long as Cao Cao sends troops, Guan Yu withdraws his troops and takes Tian Kai." β
Xin commented: "Lu Xiang's soldiers and horses can also be concentrated in Yangxin, now Dongguang is tightly guarded, it is difficult to break the city, we can break Yangxin first, and then march to the west, Nanpi will concentrate the elite to defend with all their strength, and after taking Yangxin and overlapping, it can deter Dongguang." The Dongguang Jizhou army did not dare to move lightly, so they relied on Chu Yan to go south, but it was also wishful thinking to take Nanpi. β
Yuan Shao said: "Le Cheng has Yan Liang and Chun Yuqiong, it's not a big problem, the north continues to resist Chu Yan's southward movement, I don't know who can be sent?" β
Feng Ji said: "Lu Yi can be in charge!" β
Yuan Shao said: "Okay, then let Lu Yi be the main general, assist the senior cadres, and make meritorious contributions." Xin comment, you are a military advisor, and you are the governor of the military. β
Xin commented: "Obey! β
After the strategists left, Yuan Shao's wife, Liu, went in to visit.
"My husband suddenly fell ill, but he was worried about the war?"
"Alas, I thought that Jiang Sheng was dragged by the Xiliang army, but I didn't expect him to give up the opportunity to enter Chang'an, and return to Jizhou.
"The husband and Jiang Sheng have an old relationship, since they can't be enemies, why not live up to the guilt of Jing Sheng, Jiang Sheng is benevolent, and he will be tolerantββ"
Yuan Shao was a little annoyed, interrupted Liu's words, and shouted: "Woman's opinion! Hugh has to talk a lot! β
Liu was so frightened that he didn't dare to say anything more, and at this time, Yuan Shao's three sons, Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, and Yuan Shang, entered to pay a visit.
"Why are you here?" Yuan Shao asked.
"I heard that my father was sick, so I came to visit."
"Hey, it's okay."
"Recently, I heard that Jiang Sheng's family is going to seize the Bohai Sea, is it because of my father's illness?" Yuan Tan asked.
"The rumors in the market are not to be believed. Do not let yourselves be in trouble. β
"The child knows."
While the Yuan father and son were talking, a sergeant came to report the emergency military situation.
Yuan Shao ordered people to speak bluntly.
The sergeant played: "The enemy general Tian Kai waved his army to attack Nanpi, and he has mastered the land of several villages, Guan Yu led the army to defeat General Wen Chou, and he has also marched to Nanpi!" β
"What?" Yuan Shao's eyes were dark, and he didn't come up in one breath, and Liu hurriedly pinched people.
Yuan Shao woke up and said dejectedly: "Could it be that the sky is going to kill me?" β
Feng Ji, Xun Chen and others hurriedly came in, just discussed the matter of sending troops, and before the specific implementation, the battlefield on the southern front had already been defeated, how could this battle be fought?
Feng Ji said: "Lord, for today's plan, we must take Dongguang, thinking that if we let the enemy attack, Nanpi will become a lonely city!" β
Xin Ping also means this, although the two sides are not in harmony, but now when it comes to life and death, they have also put aside their prejudices.
In fact, there is a defense of Koyi in the north of Nanpi, and there are Yan Liang and Chun Yuqiong in Lecheng County in the west, but the defense in the south of Nanpi is indeed weak, and if the south is unstable, Nanpi will be in danger.
"Ling Wenchou, Gao Gan, and Jiang Yiqu gathered 60,000 soldiers and horses to storm Dongguang, and they must take this city! Do whatever it takes! β
These three people are all generals of the defeated army, and the soldiers and horses they lead are also demoralized, and attacking Dongguang in this situation is tantamount to sending them to death!
When he received the military order, Wen Chou was furious, was Yuan Shao the rhythm of self-destruction?
As soon as their two armies withdrew, they received this kind of military order that was almost to death, and it was no wonder that they were angry, and Wen Chou and Jiang Yiqu came to persuade them bitterly.
Feng Ji said: "This battle is related to the survival of Nanpi, and I ask you generals to do your best!" β
Wen Chou said: "Dongguang still has nearly 50,000 soldiers and horses, how can it be broken?" What's more, there are also Tian Kai and Guan Yu's two armies eyeing each other. Now they are coming to attack Nanpi, at this time the main army does not defend the city but attacks, don't you think this is a serious mistake that endangers Nanpi? β
Yuan Shao stopped their argument and asked, "Is Guo Tu gone?" β
"The public rule has already set off!"
"Don't fight, let's temporarily wave the army to resist the offensive of Guan Yu and Tian Kai, and wait for Guo Tu to see Cao Cao before making a decision!"
