Chapter 44: Evacuation
As soon as Gao Ye's words fell, the entire tent was immediately filled with laughter. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoIt's no secret that Gao Ye's family has a difficult heir, and after being married for so long, there is only one son and one daughter under his knees, and his daughter was just born last year. And Cao Cao, this guy, may be the reason why he has too many wives and concubines, and he has been full of children over the years. The thing that made Gao Ye collapse the most was that every time he Cao Cao had a son, when everyone went to celebrate, Cao Cao would smile and pat Gao Ye's shoulder, saying that the child is this thing, there will be a time, let Gao Ye not worry. In this situation, what else can Gao Ye say except for a speechless face?
Now that the Gao family finally has a second boy, for Gao Ye, isn't it a great joy? Xu Huang couldn't help but quip: "The general has a son, but it's a happy event." Even the lord couldn't help it, and used the urgent document to tell the general the good news, which shows that the lord is also very happy! Ha ha! ”
Gao Ye was even happier when he heard this, Xu Huang and his personal relationship on weekdays was already very good, if it weren't for such official occasions, the two of them would generally be commensurate with each other, so Gao Ye said to Xu Huang's joke: "I didn't expect that now the emergency reports in the army are used to write private affairs, it seems that this time, I have to ask for guilt." ”
As soon as Gao Ye said this, the entire big tent suddenly burst into laughter again. It's just that unlike the laughter and laughter in the high night tent, Yuan Tan in Guangxian County is now anxious. The news of the defeat of Ju Yi and Wang Zhao finally reached Guangxian County and Yuan Tan's ears. The situation of winning all the way was originally a big victory, but I didn't expect it to become like this in an instant. 20,000 soldiers and horses were destroyed in this way, and less than 2,000 people fled back.
was in distress, but Cen Bi signed up to enter, and then said to Yuan Tan: "Eldest prince, you asked me to settle the defeated army, and I have already arranged everything." Moreover, the last general also asked many soldiers how the battle on the front line was ......"
Yuan Tan raised his head instantly when he heard this, looked at Cen Bi and asked, "What is going on?" The 20,000-strong army, with two generals, Ju Yi and Wang Zhao, was defeated? ”
"Return, back to the eldest prince, I asked no less than thirty or forty people, although there are some discrepancies in what they said, but they are generally right. After General Wang and General Ju set out with their troops, the march on the first day was not fast, and they even rested for a night, and only on the second day did they encounter the soldiers and horses of the high night. This point is completely consistent with the military report that Wang Zhao gave us the day before yesterday, but on the second day, he ......" Cen Bi immediately summarized and analyzed the information he learned, and told the first battle between Ju Yi and Gao Ye little by little, and how he was ambushed later. Because there are many people asking, and even Cen Bi knows a little about the different positions on the battlefield.
“…… The eldest prince, this battle is like this. However, some of the soldiers did tell me a piece of news that I didn't think was false......"
"What's the news?"
"Some of the soldiers were not far behind General Wang, and they said that before the ambush came out, Gao Ye had said to Ju Yi, 'It's hard work', and later when General Wang Zhao retreated, General Ju Yi did not go with General Wang, but went to meet Gao Ye. Afterward...... Later, he pursued the retreating General Wang with Gao Ye. It is said that the Euphorbia once reached the end of the whole army and prevented our army from retreating. I also asked other soldiers about this, on the battlefield, Gao Ye had already sent additional men to block the retreat of our army. However, the Euphorbia did indeed reach the forefront of the retreat of the whole army, and there was no doubt about it. ”
"What about Wang Zhao, did Wang Zhao run out?" Yuan Tan hurriedly asked.
"Back to the eldest prince, those defeated soldiers said that when they last saw General Wang, he was surrounded by Cao's army. And General Wang has not come back until now, but he is afraid of ...... By the way, it is said that Ju Yi was still persuading General Wang to come before the battle, and he also said that Guangxian had already left his back hand, breaking the city and capturing the eldest prince was like probing for something......"
When Yuan Tan heard this, he immediately slapped the table and said loudly and angrily: "What a Ju Yi, my father and son treat him so kindly, he, he actually dares to rebel!" It's not enough to send me 20,000 horses, and I'm going to give it to his new master with me! Don't fucking let Ben Gongzi bump into him again, or I have to make him look good! Yuan Tan was so angry that he blurted out the swear words, and even Cen Bi on the side was stunned when he heard it. can make such a cultured Yuan Tan blurt out swear words, which shows how ruthless he is at Ju Yi at this time. "Watch the fortress, immediately order someone to inspect the city, and be careful...... No, I might as well retreat immediately, give him the land of Qi County, and forget it, I'll wait to guard Jinan...... No, no, no, if you retreat, you will be pursued by the high night, it's not appropriate, it's not appropriate, it's better to send someone to check the city defense first......"
"Don't be impatient, after I heard the news, I have already asked General Peng An to take someone to inspect the city defense first. If the eldest prince wants to defend it, I will go to test it with General Peng to ensure that the defense is foolproof. If the eldest prince wants to retreat, when he withdraws overnight, our army scouts will report, and after the night battle, he retreats five miles and camps. Our army retreated overnight, and Gao Ye will definitely not be able to catch up, so the eldest prince does not need to be so anxious. ”
Hearing this, Yuan Tan took a long breath and said, "Okay, okay, you let me think about it carefully." I really don't understand this Ju Yi, Guanlei said, why do you say he wants to rebel? What good did Gao Ye and Cao Cao do to him after surrendering to him? Hey, I'm just afraid that the news of my defeat will come back to Yecheng, and my third brother will sing a song again! Alas......" Yuan Tan sighed even more when he said this, but then his eyes widened again, and he said fiercely: "No, I must report this matter to my father, the defeat of Qingzhou is not my fault!" It's all that Ju Yi, if it weren't for his defection, I would have taken Beihai and expelled Gao Ye a long time ago, how would I be in today's situation! ”
If Gao Ye is here, he will definitely laugh at Yuan Tan, the battle has been fought to this day, in the face of such an unfavorable situation, the first thing he thinks about is not how to retreat from the enemy, or how to let himself retreat. Until now, I still think about competing for succession. I don't think about how to deal with the situation in front of me as soon as possible, but I think about how to put the blame on others.
But those who may think this way are outsiders. After all, Cen Bi agreed with what Yuan Tan said at this time. After all, he has always been Yuan Tan's subordinate, if Yuan Tan can take over, he is also Yuan Cong! With such a temptation in front of him, how can Cen Bi not be worried? However, Cen Bi still persuaded: "Eldest prince, although we are defeated today, it is a matter of Ju Yi after all." Although the third prince has always been by the side of the lord and has no shame of defeat, he also does not have these exploits of the eldest prince! Besides, victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, and the lord will definitely not blame him. Now whether to defend or withdraw, or should make up your mind quickly. If you want to withdraw, you must hurry. ”
"Don't I know!" Yuan Tan shouted even more when he heard this, and then let out a few breaths, and then said: "I think it's the plan for today, and it's better to withdraw." Guanli, you immediately order the whole army to retreat, and withdraw tonight! Wait until tomorrow when we catch up with us, and our retreat will inevitably be attacked by him, and it will not be beautiful at that time......"
As soon as Yuan Tan's words came to this, he saw that the door of the lobby was suddenly opened, and Peng An hurriedly walked in outside the door. Yuan Tan saw that he looked flustered, and he must have found something in the city, so he hurriedly asked, "Xingping, how is it, what has been found in the city?" ”
When Peng An heard this, he didn't care about his panting state, and hurriedly arched his hand: "My lord, since General Cen asked me to inspect the defense, I haven't found anything now. The last general thought that what Ju Yi said might not be true, after all, if he really had any backhand, he couldn't hide it so deeply. However, there is another thing, there is a messenger of our army from outside the city, and now Yu Ling is being attacked by Yu Ban, I am afraid that I will lose it overnight, so I have come to report to the eldest prince......"
"Yu Ling! How could Cao Jun be in the tomb! When Yuan Tan heard this, he almost shouted out this sentence, and even his voice became a lot sharper. Xingping, how many defenders does our army have in Yuling, and how many soldiers and horses does Cao's army have? ”
"Our army is almost pouring out of the nest this time, and Yu Ling now only has more than 1,000 soldiers and horses, and there is no general stationed there. Under Yu Ban's men, I heard that there were more than 10,000 soldiers and horses. 'M afraid...... Yu Ling is now in the hands of Cao Jun. ”
"Ahh When Yuan Tan heard this, he roared, which startled Cen Bi and Peng An below. I saw Yuan Tan shouting, and then slapped the table. Maybe this time he shot a little hard, and when he picked up his hand, he couldn't help but tremble a few times. Yuan Tan said: "The place in Yuling is where our army's food road is located. Now that it has been taken by Cao Jun, he has to retreat if he doesn't retreat. But when did this Yu Ban go around our backs, and our scouts didn't find any traces! ”
When Peng An heard this, he could only squeak: "It is said that it is from the direction of Banyang, but I am afraid that it is a soldier who has been ambushed there for a long time in the night." You also know that Ju Yi's march was slow along the way, and from the time he defeated Xu Huang to the time he arrived at the city of Guangxian County, he walked for thirteen days. He rested here for a few more days......"
"Hmph, this Ju Yi, I said why he walked so slowly, just to delay time for Cao Jun! And he won two battles, and you two said, "Why did he win?" Is it just to make us feel at ease, let me waste time without doubt, and let Cao Jun calmly set up the formation! Juyi, Juyi! Yuan Tan said, and slapped it on the table case again, and he didn't know who this table case was provoking today.
However, Cen Bi, who was at the bottom of the head, hurriedly spoke: "Eldest son, now is not the time to be angry. Now there is the army of the high night in front of us, and there is the ban on cutting off our food routes, if we don't retreat, we will suffer from the enemy on our backs. Now there are still 20,000 soldiers and horses in Jinan, as long as Jinan is withdrawn, with Jinan Jiancheng, Gao Ye will definitely not be able to attack. Eldest Prince, give the order quickly. ”
When Yuan Tan heard this, he took a deep breath and said, "Guanli, Xingping, go and give the order quickly, and the whole army will retreat immediately." Remember, it's immediate! ”
