Chun Yuqiong was a little confused, and he found that he seemed to be on a broken ship that was about to go silent. On the way to the gangfu camp, Chun Yuqiong met a lot of wounded soldiers with bandages on their hands and heads, and they didn't take a closer look because their stomachs were empty, and now in retrospect, it seems that the Nanyang army suffered heavy casualties in the first battle of Zhongmu. What is more serious than the casualties is that the Nanyang army's food and grass will be exhausted. If there is no food and grass, how can you continue to fight?

Although Yuan's grain and grass were also burned in Wuchao, there was still Cao Cao, an ally. Cao Cao should still have a lot of grain in Chenliu, at least, Yuan Jun's grain and grass will not be exhausted in a short time. That night, Chun Yuqiong tossed and turned, and it was difficult to sleep.

Before dawn on the second day, Chun Yuqiong got up and went to the gangfu camp, he wanted to confirm again whether the Nanyang Army had water and gruel for every meal, and whether the military food was very short. When I arrived at the camp of the gangsters, it happened that the men were preparing breakfast for the whole camp. As I saw yesterday, after boiling the gruel with clear water in the cauldron, it was poured into large clay pots and sent by the soldiers to the various military camps.

The head of the battalion was busy for a while, and when he looked up, he found that the older officer from yesterday had touched him again, and he was immediately happy: "Have you got any good things again?" Come, come, let me see! ”

Chun Yuqiong pretended to be angry and said: "If I take that jade pendant to Wancheng, it can be sold for at least 100 gold." Do you want to beat me off with a palm-sized piece of beef? ”

"How can there be only one piece of beef? There is obviously a bowl of good porridge! The commander hurriedly corrected.

"Even if you count the porridge! Too little! Chun Yuqiong did not forgive.

"Alright, alright!" The military leader opened a small clay pot, grabbed a palm-sized piece of beef from it, and said, "Okay, this is the last piece!" We're both clear! Do you understand? ”

Before Chun Yuqiong could agree, the military leader stuffed his hand into him, and Gu himself walked away, muttering as he walked: "The generals are going to cut off meat and drink gruel." No matter how much you have a jade pendant, you can't exchange it for such good meat! ”

When Chun Yuqiong heard this, she looked at the beef in her hand, and swallowed it in her stomach in two bites. After eating this piece of beef, he made up his mind: he wanted to escape, he wanted to escape from the prison of the Nanyang Army and return to Yuan Shao!

"I was originally General Yuan, I was captured by He Xian to Zhongmu, and it makes sense to escape now." Chun Yuqiong secretly cheered herself up. Previously, Chun Yuqiong did not dare to flee back to Yuan Jun, because he was worried that Yuan Shao would settle the big crime of the loss of Wuchao with him. Now, Chun Yuqiong dared to flee back to the Yuan army because he thought he had discovered a big secret of the Nanyang army. If this secret can be reported to Yuan Shao in time, it will be possible to reverse the situation of the Zhongmu battle and atone for the crime.

He Xian's ignorance and the miserable appearance of the Nanyang army gave Chun Yuqiong the courage to defect from the city and return to Yuan Shaojun. That night, Chun Yuqiong took advantage of the opportunity of the soldiers guarding the camp to doze off and quietly found his camp tent. According to the route explored during the day, Chun Yuqiong found the dog cave that could barely pass through people in the corner of the city wall near the gang's camp. Through this dog hole, Chun Yuqiong escaped from Zhongmu City without danger and walked towards the north in the dark. He knew that the camp of Yuan Cao's coalition army was in the north of Mucheng, but he couldn't tell where it was, and where it was in the dark.

"Lord, Chun Yuqiong successfully escaped from Zhongmu!" In the Chinese army camp in Zhongmu City, He Xian was still reviewing the Nanyang battle report, and the fat man of the battalion quietly touched in and whispered back to He Xian.

"Excellent! Thank you for your hard work these past few days! He Xian replied with a smile, "Starting tomorrow, you will return to the special operations team!" ”

"No!" The fat man replied solemnly, completely losing the greasy and obscene appearance that Chun Yuqiong saw at that time.

In the past few days, Chun Yuqiong's every move has been under the surveillance of the Nanyang Army. Even the dog hole next to the gang's camp was carefully prepared for him by the special operations team of the Nanyang Army. All of this was planned by Jia Xu, and the special operations team was responsible for the specific implementation.

It is said that after Yuan Shao withdrew to the camp, he did not move for several days. Neither drowning nor retreating, on the surface, he said that he would rest for a few days and fight again, but in fact he was waiting for news from Zhang He and Gao Ran.

Did the nest hold or was it broken?

But Yuan Shao still couldn't wait for a miracle after all, and three days later, Zhang He led three thousand light horsemen to take the lead in coming back to restore his life: the Wuchao camp was broken, and all the grain and grass were destroyed!

Although Yuan Shao had been mentally prepared, it was still difficult to accept this cruel reality. In a fit of rage, Yuan Shao wanted to kill Zhang He to vent his anger, but fortunately, the civil and military forces in the tent tried their best to dissuade him, and Zhang He survived. The grief-stricken Yuan Shao ordered Xu Yu to go to Cao Ying to borrow grain, and at the same time ordered the whole army to be ready to withdraw to Jizhou at any time.

Xu You, who went to Cao Ying, lived up to the trust and brought back enough grain and grass to relieve his urgent needs. At the same time, there was also Cao Cao and his party.

Cao Cao wrapped a thick bandage on his head, and dragged his unhealed body to persuade Yuan Shaodao: "The coalition army is short of food, and Chen Liu's backing is there." The Nanyang army is also short of food, and the grain and grass are either far away in Yingchuan or far away in Tiger Pass. Our coalition army only needs to besiege Zhongmu and cut off its food fleet, and in time, the Nanyang army will collapse without a fight! This is the best opportunity to defeat He Xian, and the alliance leader must not miss it! ”

Yuan Shao was a little moved, but when he thought of the grain and grass problem, he said worriedly: "The grain and grass in Wuchao have been destroyed, and there is not much grain in Jizhou, and if you want to transport grain from Yecheng, you can't reach it in a month." Even if our army wants to fight, it has more than enough heart but not enough strength. ”

Cao Cao hugged his fists and said: "The problem of grain and grass is solved by our army!" One month, Chen Liu can supply the grain and grass of our coalition army for at least a month! And the Nanyang Army, it is estimated that in less than half a month, it will break through desperately! “

Yuan Shao looked around and looked at the judges, Xu You, Feng Ji, Guo Tu and others, wanting to hear their opinions.

The judge shook his head and said: "The Nanyang army is cunning and treacherous. And the matter of grain and grass is very important, and our army should retreat to Jizhou to slowly map the right way. “

Xu You said: "The fighter plane is fleeting, and the Nanyang Army rarely falls into a state where the whole army is trapped. “

Yuan Shao was still hesitant, and suddenly a sergeant came to report, saying that General Chun Yu had something important to see!

Yuan Shao was stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "Which Chun Yu general?" ”

In Yuan Shao's impression, since the black nest was broken, Chun Yuqiong, as the main general, should have died in battle.

The sergeant replied, "It's the governor Chun Yuqiong." ”

Yuan Shao was furious: "Chun Yuqiong is incompetent, he lost the Wuchao camp, and he ruined the major affairs of our army, so he dared to come back?" Come on, drag Chun Yuqiong directly out of the camp sacrifice flag! ”

"Slow down!" Feng Ji hurriedly stood up to stop it.
