Chapter 241: The Lion Grows Old

"Why don't you let me go see him?"

"Your father has just suffered a great defeat, so it is obviously not appropriate to visit him at this time. ”

"Afraid he'll be angry?"

"The temperament is so ......"

Even the frustrated teachers around him commented on Yuan Shao like this, and Yuan Xi had nothing to say. Yuan Shao's prestige reached its peak after defeating Gongsun Zhan, and he was able to easily dispose of Koyi without anyone raising objections. Now that he has the advantage, he lost to Cao Cao, and the loss of troops is secondary, but in terms of personal prestige, it has obviously fallen to the bottom.

While they were talking, Yuan Xi's men and horses blocked the middle of the road, and a squad suddenly came from the front, and said angrily at them: "Where are the troops? Get out of the way, don't drive in front of the main bus. ”

Yuan Xi looked up and saw a large convoy in front of him, and the periphery was full of people, surrounding the car in the center. The person in front of him was holding a torch and looked hurried. Judging from the periphery, this team has a neat lineup, but the number is only two hundred. It's dark in the back, and it's estimated that there are more people with it.

The first person, Yuan Xi, saw it clearly, with a white face and black beard, and long cheeks, and it was clearly Guo Tu, a yin person.

He said to Guo Tu: "Where is my father? I want to see him. ”

Guo Tu was in a hurry in the dark night, he was already panicked, and at this time he was even more irritable when he was on the road, and when he heard this voice, he couldn't help but be stunned, and blurted out: "Second son? Why are you here? ”

Yuan Xi said: "Where is my father? Now that the army is in chaos, the army is scattered and running, he needs to stand up and organize as soon as possible, otherwise Cao Cao will kill him, and everyone will be a dead end. ”

Someone in the crowd suddenly squeezed out, and saw Yuan Xi and said, "Second brother? ”

When Yuan Xi heard this tired and hoarse voice, he knew that it was Yuan Shang, so he asked, "Where is my father?" Now that so many people are crowded to go to Baimajin, it will inevitably be broken by Cao Cao. ”

Yuan Shang sighed in front of everyone and said, "Father doesn't want to see you, let's talk about it when I go back to Yecheng." ”

Yuan Xi said: "Back to Yecheng? How do so many people go back? Can you go back? ”

Yuan Shang stomped his feet and scolded: "Second brother? Is your head rusty? What does it matter if others can go back, the most important thing is that my father can go back safely, as long as the backbone is still there, how can Cao Cao get our horse? Hebei has millions of people with armor, what is this loss? There will always be a comeback day. ”

He didn't dare to make a loud voice, for fear of losing morale if he was heard, but he spewed out towards Yuan Xi again, which showed the urgency of his mood.

Yuan Xi sneered: "What are you dreaming about? Just go back alone and leave the Hebei soldiers here, who will give our father and son their lives in the future? ”

"Second brother? Why are you so stubborn? Cao Cao killed him from behind......"

While the two brothers were arguing, Yuan Shao's voice suddenly came from behind: "Xian Yi ......"

Yuan Xi perked up: "Father? The children are here. ”

The deep voice was silent for a moment, and then said, "...... For my father, I ordered you to command the soldiers of Henan, take the talismans, and all the troops of Yuan's army in Henan will be commanded by you. Now, get out of the way. ”

Yuan Shao didn't show up, but just said such a sentence.

Yuan Xi scolded his mother in his heart, did you hand over such a mess to me? Or do you want to flee back to Hebei?

Yuan Shang was still indignant, and while returning to the pile, he said, "Second brother, haven't you always been on the front line of the battlefield?" Now here's your chance......"

If it weren't for the fact that there were people in the middle, Yuan Xi would have been whipped up a long time ago. How can there be such brothers.

In the end, Yuan Xi still gave way. Under his silent gaze, Yuan Shao's convoy passed in front of him like a busy traffic, and Yuan Xi's face turned blue. Yuan Shao never met with him from beginning to end.

Overnight, the lion grew old.

When the convoy passed, the stragglers behind followed the large force in confusion. Frustrated Zhu leaned forward and arched his hand: "Second son, make a decision early." ”

Yuan Xi said: "Decision? Defeat has been made, what decision do I make? ”

Frustrated: "The decision to ensure that Hebei Erlang returns home safely. ”

Yuan Xi almost ran out of breath.

Cao Cao is not a good stubble. In the era of the Three Kingdoms, if the captives were captured, if they could not be used for their own use, then it was not without precedent for pit killing. Yuan Shao had so many soldiers and horses, and ordinary soldiers were all rooted in Hebei, as long as Yuan Shao was alive and their families were still alive, it was unlikely that these soldiers would be completely absorbed into Cao Cao's troops. Then what awaits them will be a disaster. Especially at the juncture when Cao Cao's military rations had long been exhausted.

"Don't say I'm so noble, I can't protect myself now."

Frustrated: "Doesn't the second prince hold all the transfer rights of the Yuan army in Henan? He is willing to obey the orders of the second son. ”

The light in Yuan Xi's eyes was shocked, and he exhaled slightly, "Sir, teach me what to do?" ”

"The Cao army will inevitably pursue behind, so you might as well give them a dismount to cover the retreat of the large army." ”

After a while, calm was restored on the road, Yuan Xi and his cavalry hid in the grass on both sides, and the night covered them well, and the enemy was clear and dark, and it was a very good ambush.

After a while, the rout was exhausted, and sure enough, the shouts of killing began behind, and a team of men and horses chased after them, holding torches in their hands, and they could clearly see the word "music" written on the flag.

Happy? Lejin? He is also a tiger general.

Obviously, Cao Jun thought that they were vulnerable, and this group of men and horses did not have any formation at all, so they lined up as a long snake and ran forward.

Yuan Xi signaled to let the vanguard pass, and it was seven inches to fight the snake.

Tian Yu secretly took out his bow and arrow, drew an arrow in his hand, and aimed towards the target he felt was important.

"Kill—"

Yuan Xi waved his hand, and the cavalry on the other side also immediately came out like a tsunami, startling the Cao army in the middle of the road.

"Your own people, don't kill!"

"Ghosts and you are your own ......"

"Whoosh-"

In an instant, Lejin's troops were cut in half by Yuan Xi. A certain small boss didn't know if it was Lejin who led the soldiers, but he was shot down by Tian Yu.

Yuan Xi personally observed from the side.

Although this one was attacked suddenly, it immediately returned to normal, and each of them formed a circle and began to resist with a clear eye.

"Guards?" Yuan Xi raised his hand and said, "Suppress their arrogance." ”

Yuan Xi saw that the battle situation had passed through a sudden panic, and gradually stalemate. If the cavalry did not charge from a distance, it would not have much advantage over the infantry, it was just a head higher, and the tenacity of this team was far beyond Yuan Xi's expectations.

Zhao Yun said: "It's too dangerous for the guards to go out, it's better to stay with the second son." ”

"There is no need to ......," Yuan Xi said, "Annihilate them as soon as possible." ”

There was a sudden roar in the rear, and a flag stood out, with the word "Yu" written on it, Cao Cao's Qingzhou soldiers, the core team, and the general Yu Ban with the troops arrived.
