Ma Yi, the government office, Zhang He came to the government office with a worried face, and saw that Fu Zhu was looking at the map, and frowned: "Sir, the grain and grass in the army have been less than half a month, and Lu Bu's soldiers have swept the ground, completely cutting off our back road!" ”

The moment he turned around, Zhang He almost screamed out loud, but he hadn't seen him for a day, and he seemed to be ten years old overnight. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Strategist, what are you ......" Zhang He looked at Fu Zhu, almost unrecognizable.

"Junyi, retire the army, there is no point in defending the horse again." There are a few more strands of gray hair on his forehead, which is sad to look at.

"Why?" Zhang He was puzzled.

"If Lu Bu failed to capture Taiyuan, we waited here, waiting for the Lord to come with reinforcements, it was equivalent to cutting off Lu Bu's retreat, but unfortunately, and the state soldiers and horses were concentrated in our department and General Gao Gan, Taiyuan was empty, Lu Bu was almost swept away, within ten months, captured Taiyuan, Yanmen large cities, more connected to the Yellow River, although Gao Gan and our army have 60,000 soldiers and horses, but equivalent to 60,000 lonely troops, Lu Bu opened the road to the Yellow River, that is, the war is not smooth, there is a way out, once he sent someone to capture Huguan, Our army's retreat was cut off alive. Frustrated and hoarse, he raised his head and sighed: "The time is not for the lord, and the state is completely finished, if you continue to defend it, you will be trapped here, only retreat to Huguan, take the important land of Huguan, and hold Huguan steadily, when the lord recovers, you can also compete with Lu Bu again, this army and horses must be retained, otherwise, if Huguan is lost, 30,000 soldiers will be trapped and die in Mayi!" If the lord is to blame in the future, I will bear the responsibility alone. ”

"The military advisor is serious, but it's just ......" Zhang He smiled bitterly: "Our army is mostly foot soldiers, if we refuse to defend the city and have a chance of survival, but if we go out of the city to fight, I am afraid it is not a horse super opponent." ”

Although Ma Chao only has 8,000 soldiers and horses, they are all cavalry, coming and going like the wind, if the 30,000 army goes out of the city, let alone retreat to Huguan, Ma Chao's cavalry alone can consume them to death on the road.

"We are retreating, not fighting, and there are many mountains in the land of Yanmen, although we have nothing to do with Ma Chao, but if we want to go, Ma Chao can't stop it." Frustrated and shook his head: "Necessary losses are inevitable. ”

It is said that it is an army of 30,000, but in fact, after some fighting, the actual strength in the city is only about 25,000 or so, Zhang He heard this, a touch of gloom flashed in his eyes, he naturally knew what the necessary loss was meant, and said bitterly: "Everything, follow the orders of the military advisor." ”

That night, Fu Zhi used the strategy of exhausting the soldiers, and successively sent several teams of men and horses out of the city to make noise, so that Ma Chao could not live in peace, and then Zhang He led 3,000 cavalry and 5,000 troops out of the city to attack Ma Chao's camp at night, and Fu Zhi commanded the army to go out of the city at night and march in the direction of Huguan.

Jia Xu estimated that after Zhang He and Fu Zhu learned that Lu Bu swept Taiyuan, he was afraid that he would not continue to sit still, and would definitely find an opportunity to retreat, so he sent someone to closely monitor Zhang He's movements, Ma Yi's sudden move naturally attracted Jia Xu's attention, but before he could make a deployment, Zhang He had already led the men and horses to kill, in the camp, shouting and killing to the sky, Ma Chao took Ma Dai to wear armor and led the soldiers and horses to kill Zhang He.

"Report!" A scout Pegasus bypassed the chaotic army, came to the direction of the Chinese army, and said to Jia Xu: "Qiqi military division, not long ago, the gate of Mayi City was opened, and a large force left in the direction of Taihang Mountain. ”

"Alas!" Jia Xu looked at the army that was gradually forced into the disadvantage by Ma Chao, but he fought to the death and did not retreat, this is clearly a strategy to survive with a broken arm, but although he saw through it, Jia Xu did not have any way, Zhang He brought 8,000 soldiers and horses, it is easy to defeat, but if you want to exterminate, it is not something that can be completed for a while, and it is impossible to divide forces to stop the retreating troops.

"Okay, send a team of men and horses to occupy Ma Yi first!" Jia Xu said in a deep voice.

At this moment, a hussar guard suddenly pointed to the distance and said loudly: "Commander, look. ”

Jia Xu raised his eyes, but saw that in the direction of Mayi, the flames were soaring, and it seemed that the entire city was burning.

Ma Chao and Ma Dai in the fierce battle also discovered the fire in Mayi, and couldn't help but be furious, pointing at Zhang He and saying sharply: "The unrighteous horseman actually set fire to the city, today, you can't be left!" ”

While speaking, the horse dance rushed over, and the silver gun in his hand stabbed in the air, and even stabbed out nine cold rays at the same time, this move, there is a very nice name in marksmanship, called Yunlong Jiuxian, it is the perfect combination of marksmanship skills and speed to be displayed.

Zhang He didn't expect Ma Chao to be angry, and he actually made another breakthrough, and at the same time, he tried his best to block the steel gun, but he still couldn't block it completely, and was stabbed in the shoulder by Ma Chao.

"Suffer death!" Ma Chao succeeded with a shot, and he didn't give in, the gun trembled, and a spear flower bloomed in front of Zhang He's eyes.

Zhang He's face turned pale, and he was about to devour him when he saw the gun, but the war horse under his feet suddenly became weak, and he fell down violently, making Ma Chao stab the air with a shot, Zhang He escaped, and he didn't care about the image, rolled on the spot with a lazy donkey, avoided the trampling of the war horse under Ma Chao's crotch, turned over and grabbed an ownerless war horse, turned around and ran.

Ma Chao was about to pursue, but the surrounding Zhang He's personal guards had already desperately stepped forward, blocking Ma Chao's way, Ma Chao was furious, the silver gun in his hand was wide open, and in a moment, he killed more than a dozen knights in a row, just looking around, where was Zhang He's figure.

Ma Dai saw Zhang He fleeing, and hurriedly slapped his horse and shouted in the chaotic army: "Zhang He has been defeated and fled, and he will not surrender!" ”

"Those who descend will not be killed! Those who descend will not be killed! ”

The soldiers and horses from all directions have been clamoring, and the people and horses brought by Zhang He saw that the main general had escaped, and Ma Chao's soldiers were fierce, if it weren't for Zhang He's previous guards to block, these soldiers and horses would have been defeated, and now Zhang He has fled, plus many people have also found out that Ma Yi is on fire, how can they still have the heart to fight again, and they have knelt on the ground to ask for surrender.

Ma Chao asked Ma Dai to restrain the defeated soldiers, and he came to Jia Xu, bowed down and said, "Military division, are you pursuing?" ”

Jia Xu glanced at the direction of Ma Yi, shook his head and said: "It's useless to chase it, frustrated and resourceful, there will be ambushes along the way, the general will take the soldiers to rest for the night, and rush directly to Huguan tomorrow, if expected, Frustration must want to retreat to Huguan, if Huguan is occupied by the enemy, our army will fall into passivity, and the general will occupy Huguan first, and then this army can be trapped and killed in the territory of Bingzhou." ”

Ma Chao nodded yes, then looked at the fire in Ma Yi, gritted his teeth and said, "These thieves! ”

Jia Xu was silent when he heard this, and in his heart, he didn't feel anything wrong with the frustration of the practice, they couldn't sit back and watch the fire spread, they would inevitably have to put out the fire, and it was also conducive to gathering the people's hearts, if there was no fire, how could the frustration take away the 20,000 troops and change places, Jia Xu would probably make the same choice.

……

Yangwu, with a big defeat in the battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao collapsed, Jizhou, Youzhou, many cities choose to wait and see, no longer obey Yuan Shao, so that Yuan Shao is overwhelmed, Cao Cao took the opportunity to cross the Yellow River, occupied the former Yuan Shaotun army of Yangwu, at this moment Cao Cao is a little complacent, the battle of Guandu, not only won the victory on the battlefield, but also earned enough political capital for themselves, at the moment and the state is in chaos, Yangwu military camp, but is full of joy, Cao Cao after occupying Yangwu, obtained a lot of baggage, The surrounding counties also sent a lot of grain and grass.

The only fly in the ointment is probably that Xu You, who was shouting and calling his name in the field, looked a little dazzling at the moment, but after all, he was his friend and the hero of this battle, and Cao Cao could only rely on him.

"Lord, Luoyang urgent!" While he was having a feast, a junior colonel hurried in and handed a letter to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao's heart moved when he heard this, and he didn't care about continuing to enjoy everyone's praise, so he hurriedly took the letter, spread it out on the table, and looked at it at a glance, and his eyes gradually became solemn.

"My lord?" Xun You, Guo Jia, and Cheng Yu saw that Cao Cao's face was wrong, so they hurriedly came over.

Cao Cao sighed, handed the letter to Xun You, shook his head and said, "Lu Bu, don't be careless at all!" ”

"Ahu, what's the alarm?" Xu You walked over drunkenly, holding the wine in one hand and Guo Jia's shoulder with the other, quite arrogant.

A touch of unhappiness flashed in Cao Cao's eyes, Guo Jia and others also showed dissatisfaction in their eyes, Cao Cao smiled helplessly: "I ordered Zixiao to go to occupy the Tiger Prison, but Lu Bu took the lead, and ordered Wei Yan to occupy Luoyang, and fought with Zixiao under the Tiger Prison. ”

"Wei Yan? Who are they? Xu Yu took a sip of wine drunkenly, shook his head and laughed: "An unknown martial artist, Zixiao was defeated by this person, it seems that Guandu won a battle, which made him a little complacent." ”

"Bastard! Then Wei Yannai was one of the earliest four generals under Lu Bu, who once defeated Zhong Xuan and killed General Cao Peng under the tyrant, how could he be an unknown person? Xu Chu stood up dissatisfiedly and said angrily.

"Hey?" Xu You glared at Xu Chu and said disdainfully: "Who are you, I am talking to Ah Pu, when will it be your turn to interject?" ”

"You ......" Xu Chu was furious, and was about to raise a knife to cut someone, but Xiahoudun hurriedly stopped: "Zhongkang can't be reckless." ”

"Ziyuan, you're drunk!" Cao Cao waved his hand helplessly, his original good mood was completely gone, he looked at Xu You, and said with a smile: "After all, it is a trouble, if Lu Bu sends troops from the tiger prison in the future, our army will not be able to defend against it!" ”

"Since Meng Jin is in our hands, Lu Bu wants to send troops, and he should also have some scruples, since Zixiao has few soldiers, then there is no need to fight with Wei Yan at the moment, first allocate some soldiers and horses to him, as long as Meng Jin is in our hands, Lu Bu Pifu, will not dare to be too public, what is really worrying is that Lu Bu is now stationed in Luoyang, entering and occupying the state, and the land has been connected together, compared to Dong Zhuo in the past, he is more victorious than Dong Zhuo in the past, he was defeated at the beginning and did not die, the three-legged momentum of the north has been completed, and Ah Pu wants to determine the position of the overlord of the north, with the twists and turns, I am afraid that it will take a long time!" Xu Yu leaned drunkenly beside Guo Jia.

Although the words are inarticulate, but these words are said to Cao Cao's heart, originally there was only Yuan Shao's words, it is good to say, the defeat of Guandu, even if it is difficult to exterminate Yuan Shao in an emergency, as long as he slowly draws it, Cao Cao will grow stronger and stronger, but Yuan Shao is constantly declining, and he can always overcome it.

But now that Lu Bu was born out of thin air, he occupied Yongliang and the state in one fell swoop, plus the land of Hetao and Luoyang, the territory is not much smaller than Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, plus its prestige in the north, it is enough to compete with Cao Cao, so that Cao Cao has to be distracted to deal with Lu Bu, so that if you want to digest the results of the battle of Guandu, it will take a long time.

"Brother Ziyuan is right." Guo Jia sighed lightly, looked at Cao Cao and said, "The lord needs to prepare early." (To be continued.) )
