Although Yuan Tan has been in a rage, Cen Bi and Peng An are quite normal. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 As soon as Yuan Tan's order arrived, the two of them immediately went to do it. There were 30,000 soldiers and horses of Yuan Tan stationed in the city of Guangxian County, but under the command of the two of them, the Yuan army that evacuated at night almost did not make any movement, and quietly left the county seat of Guangxian County, which had just been stationed for a few days.

By the time Gao Ye received the news, it was already daylight on the second day. Gao Ye'er on the march heard the scout's return, and then laughed dumbly, muttering in a low voice: "This Yuan Tan is running quite fast." The scouts on the side didn't hear clearly, but subconsciously let out an "ah" and looked at Gao Ye with a confused expression.

Gao Ye immediately smiled and said, "Okay, I know, you go down first." When the scout heard this, he gave up his hand, and departed with a hand. As for Gao Ye, who was sitting on the horse, he turned around and said to Pei Yuanshao: "Yuan Shao, go and give an order immediately, and order Xu Huang to take his headquarters as a pioneer, march at full speed, and take Guangxian for me." Also, tell Xu Huang that although Yuan Tan is gone, he should not be careless when he enters Guangxian, and he must carefully inspect the city. Then send someone to give Yu Ban and Zhang Liao an order, so that the two of them could delay Yuan Tan on the road to return Jinan's army, so as to buy Zang Ba some time and take Jinan. ”

Pei Yuanshao nodded when he heard this, and hurriedly rode away. Xu Huang received the general's order, and immediately gave the order, and the whole army accelerated its march. Originally, the army was not far away from Guangxian, but under Xu Huang's order, the army immediately advanced at full speed, and before it reached Shen, it had already completely occupied the almost empty county seat of Guangxian. Of course, it's not really that there is no one, after all, the soldiers are in danger and fierce, and the common people have long been hiding at home one by one. Yuan Tan withdrew simply, and did not leave a single soldier here at all. However, Xu Huang still adhered to the principle of prudence, and carefully inspected the city twice, and then gave Gao Ye a reward.

In the evening, Gao Ye's army also entered the county seat of Guangxian one after another. The generals even gathered in the county hall to prepare to listen to Gao Ye's military orders. Now that victory is in sight, these generals are gearing up one by one, ready to take advantage of the end of this victory to reap another good victory.

The joy of imminent victory is now haunting everyone's hearts, especially the brothers Xiahoushang and Xiahoude, who are already smiling. However, seeing that Gao Ye, Xu Huang and Gao Shun all had serious faces, the two of them in the lobby couldn't help but restrain their smiles a little.

Gao Ye looked at the two of them, and taught him a direct lesson: "You haven't won yet, why are you two so happy?" ”

Xiahou Shang on the side shrunk his neck and retorted in a low voice: "Isn't this about to win......

"We're about to win, so don't take it lightly!" Gao Ye said helplessly: "Remember, no matter how big your advantage is, no matter how close you are to victory in the battle, as long as the battle is not over, then only God knows what the final result will be." You think the victory is already in hand, not long ago Yuan Tan also felt the same, but now? Alas, just the two of you, tell me yourself, how can you reassure me that you will each lead a group of soldiers and horses to attack the city? ”

When the brothers Xiahoude and Xiahoushang heard this, they suddenly let out an "ah", and the disappointment on their faces could not be concealed at all. After all, since the two of them came to Qingzhou, they have always fought as other people's lieutenants. Now that he finally has the opportunity to lead the army alone, who would have thought that just because of the excitement of the moment, such a good opportunity would be missed in vain? And in the face of Gao Ye's lesson, the two of them really couldn't find any words to refute. He could only arch his hand with an aggrieved face: "The last general knows that he is wrong." ”

Gao Ye nodded and said, "You two must remember that as a general, you must keep your head calm at all times, and as long as the battle is not over, you must be careful." Later, when you become the commander of an army, your brain is hot during the big war, or you are careless to underestimate the enemy, and it is your group of life and death brothers who will die at that time. They all have parents, wives and children, all of whom are iron-clad heroes, so don't give their lives in vain. ”

The words of the two people who were Gao Ye were simply embarrassed. They are all twenty-year-old guys, who are at the age of saving face, and they are even more uncomfortable in their hearts when they are counted down by Gao Ye. But Gao Ye didn't seem to let go of the two of them, and continued: "Originally, this time I was going to divide my troops into five routes, in addition to me, Gongming, and Xunyi to continue to pursue Yuan Tan, let the two of you and Yuan Dao and Yuan Xiang lead all the way to the county towns in Le'an County. Now it seems that it is still too early for the two of you to lead the army alone. ”

Xiahoude was still in his heart, but Xiahou Shang stepped forward directly and arched his hand: "General, the last general and others have already known their mistakes, and please give the last general and my second brother a chance to lead the troops to the battle." ”

Seeing that Xiahou Shang came out to ask for his life, Xia Houde immediately followed: "Yes, General, the last general has already known his mistake, he must be cautious and cautious, and he will be able to complete the task!" ”

Gao Ye frowned and looked at the two of them, then turned his head to look at Xu Huang on the side and said, "Gongming, what do you think?" Xu Huang looked at Gao Ye with a tangled face, and he didn't know how to answer. But then he found that Gao Ye quietly gave him an OK gesture. I've seen this gesture before, and I even asked Gao Ye what it meant, and he said that everything was fine. Now that Gao Ye quietly gave himself this gesture, Xu Huang suddenly had a number in his heart, and then said, "General, I think it should be fine." The Yuan army in Le'an County has long been requisitioned by Yuan Tan, and there are not many defenders in each county. Now that Yuan Tan has been defeated, the counties are even more powerless to resist. General, isn't the original intention of this strategy to train and train these young generals, and now is the opportunity. Although Zhong Cao and Boren are a little impetuous, they have now realized their mistakes, and there will be no problem with this expedition. ”

Gao Ye nodded when he heard this, looked at the two of them, and asked suspiciously, "Is it really okay?" ”

The Xiahou Shang brothers hurriedly replied, "Please give the general an order." ”

Gao Ye chuckled and said, "Okay, Boren, then I'll give you 3,000 soldiers and horses to go to Dali County." Zhong Cao, you also take 3,000 soldiers and horses to fight Bochang. There are less than 1,000 defenders in both places, and the walls are not very strong, so there should be no problem for the two of you, right? ”

Xiahou Shang and Xiahou De immediately bowed down to receive the order. Gao Ye looked at Gao Shun's lieutenant generals Han De and Cui Zhi on the other side and said, "Yuan Xiang, you also lead 3,000 troops, go and get 1,000 times." Yuan Dao, you immediately lead 5,000 troops to attack Le'an. Cui Zhi and Han De naturally bowed down to receive the order. Gao Ye then said: "Remember, after taking these four cities and ensuring the smooth flow of grain. Han De, you will enter Linji again and put pressure in the direction of Jinan. Cui Zhi, you will go northeast, take the city on the south bank of the Yellow River, and recover all the northeast areas of Le'an. Boren, you will immediately return to the army to the south and recover the counties in the south of Le'an. As for Zhong Cao, you have to sit in Le'an and ensure the food, grass, ordnance and materials of the three of them. Did you get it? ”

The four of them bowed their hands in unison, and Gao Ye waved his hand to let them return to their seats. At this time, the four of them only waited for Gao Ye to announce the dismissal of the meeting, and a few of them could immediately go to reorganize the army and prepare to leave. Speaking of which, the meeting didn't last long, and after Gao Ye announced what everyone should do, it dispersed. On the second day, the Fifth Route Army dispersed from Guangxian. Gao Ye only left 1,000 soldiers and horses, and was responsible for protecting his grain route in Guangxian, and the remaining nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses were chased straight in the direction of Changguo, that is, the direction in which Yuan Tan fled.

However, speaking of which, the speed of Yuan Tan's escape was really not slow, Gao Ye chased for four days with his men and horses, but he still hadn't caught up with Yuan Tan who had fled. Looking at the military reports of Yu Ban and Zhang Liao, the two of them had already started harassing Yuan Tan's soldiers and horses on the vast plains around Yuling. Except for the fact that no news has come back from Zang Ba, everything is developing according to Gao Ye's assumption. Therefore, Gao Ye even ordered that the whole army should speed up, and it was necessary to leave Yuan Tan's troops and horses south of the Yellow River completely.

However, Yuan Tan on the other side is full of thoughts at the moment about how to retreat to Jinan as soon as possible, and only by retreating to Jinan can he stabilize his position. In the past few days, he has been harassed by Yu Ban and Zhang Liao, and the army is very tired, and even Yuan Tan has not had a good night's sleep for several days. What makes him most angry is that those two people are always unwilling to fight with him, and every day he is harassed except harassment. Eating, drinking, and sleeping are not at peace for a moment. The scout came to report, and the soldiers and horses of the high night hurried every day, and now they have arrived in Changguo, if they don't hurry up, they will be attacked on their backs. Today's situation doesn't need to be said by others, Yuan Tan himself can see it clearly. Once Gao Ye arrives, Yu Ban and Zhang Liao will inevitably change their normal behavior and attack Gao Ye from two sides. At that time, do you have any other choice but to abandon the army and run away? Fortunately, Jinan City is in front of you, as long as you grit your teeth, there will be four or five days, as long as you can return to Jinan City, what else do you have to worry about?

However, in the next few days, Yuan Tan was a little confused. Because the march of these two days can not be described as unpleasant. It was as if Zhang Liao and Yu Ban had all disappeared all of a sudden, and they never came to trouble him again. Although I don't know why, I fell into Yuan Tan's arms. Now that there is no enemy harassment, the army is advancing at full speed. After all, no desire can compare to the desire to survive, and every soldier in the army knows that the sooner he escapes to Jinan, the sooner he will be safe. Therefore, even though Yuan Tan's march at this time had overdrawn his military strength, no one had ever complained.

Seeing that Jinan City was in front of him, Cen Bi even beat his horse out and shouted: "The eldest prince has arrived, open the city gate quickly!" Yuan Tan saw a group of soldiers open the city gate in a panic, and he himself took the lead and rushed into the city. Yuan Tan, who had just entered the city, saw that not far away, a general was majestic and looking at him. Yuan Tan couldn't help but be angry in his heart, this person was so bold, he dared not to get off the horse and salute when he saw him!

Then he stopped his horse, his face was full of anger, and he was about to scold. Before he could speak, he heard the man laugh first: "Master Yuan, I've heard a great name for a long time!" Today is finally fortunate for me to be able to meet Zang Ba, haha! ”
