The suggestion of the frustrated professor is not unreasonable, and now the Yuan army is surrounded by enemies on all sides, and there is no food and grass, the army is discouraged, and the morale is low. It may not be difficult to regain Yecheng, but it is really not easy to defend Yecheng. In the past, Guo Tu always loved to sing opposite to Frustration, but today, even Guo Tu has to admit that Frustration makes sense. What's more, the trial has clearly told everyone that the grain and grass in Yecheng have been burned, even if it is not, won't there be another fire when Gao Ye evacuates? The 400,000 army now only has three days of food, and whether they can rush to the city of Yecheng in three days is a question! Even if the city is captured, there is no food and grass, and it is a situation where the army is scattered. At that time, maybe Cao Cao will come to catch turtles in an urn.

What Guo Tu can figure out, Feng Ji naturally knows it in his heart. Before the war, he had already dismissed the children of the clan and the servants of the door, and it could be said that he was relaxed before he could say the words that would make Yuan Shaobei retreat. But his wife and children are all in Yecheng, so how can Feng Ji not want to take Yecheng back?

Now that Guo Tu was speechless, it seemed that he agreed with Fu Zhu's plan, and Feng Ji hurriedly said: "Even so, our army still wants to take back Yecheng." Our army still has 300,000 soldiers and horses, and there are only 20,000 people in Yecheng. Although there is no grain in Yecheng now, it can be urgently transferred from the state, so the danger of grain and grass can be solved. ”

Hearing this, he shouted: "Why is Feng Yuantu so unwise! Our army wants to take Yecheng, so how can Cao Cao let our army have time to take Yecheng calmly! Gao Ye attacked Yecheng with few soldiers and horses, wouldn't he have mobilized reinforcements to guard Yecheng with him to prevent our army from attacking! If our army fights to attack the city, the day of the lord's defeat is not far away, and it is your fault for the Yuan Tu! ”

Feng Ji didn't give an inch and counterattacked: "Could it be that our army gave up Yecheng and rushed to Merge Zhou, and the army's heart can be stabilized!" You have to know, Yecheng fell, the officials and soldiers in our army, how many people's families will fall into the hands of Cao Cao, you frustrated the prince and sent his wife and children away early, and now he is alone, do everyone in our army have no wives and children! When the time comes, Cao Cao will be forced by his family, and I will be loyal to the Lord every Yuan Tu, can everyone in my army be like this! At that time, it will not only be a matter of discouragement! ”

When he heard this, what Feng Ji said was not unreasonable, many of these people were wall grass, and when Yuan Shao was powerful, it was not difficult to follow Yuan Shao's birth and death. But once Yuan Shao lost power, their minds became lively. The family fell into the hands of Cao Cao, and they found an excellent excuse to turn against each other. In this way, this Yecheng ...... No, I was almost taken to the ditch by this Fengji!

Thinking of this, it was only a matter of three or five breaths, and then he sneered at each other: "You are worried about your own family, why do you need to exaggerate!" Although our army has a large army of 300,000, there are only 30,000 soldiers who can be mobilized from Yecheng. Even if they descended Cao Cao, how much impact would they have on our army? Frustrated Zhi glanced at Feng Ji, and then arched his hand at Yuan Shao and said: "If the lord is worried that these 30,000 soldiers will rebel, he can directly order, just say that after the fall of Yecheng, their families will fall into the hands of Cao Jun and let them leave freely." In this way, how can the whole army not be grateful for the tolerance of the lord? What's the point of those soldiers walking away? The people who can stay are all loyal to the lord, and the lord can be reused! ”

"What about the lord's family? fell into the hands of Cao Cao, God knows how much he will be bullied......"

Before Feng Ji's words were finished, Yuan Shao, who had been bowing his head and being silent, stood up, waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't make any more noise." Yuan Shao said with a long sigh and said, "If my family falls into the hands of others, they will definitely have a tragic fate. But now that he has been captured by Mingxi and Meng De, he must be safe and sound. Seeing that Feng Ji was about to say more, Yuan Shao waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, Meng De, I understand." As he spoke, he walked towards the door of the big tent with difficulty, and said slowly as he walked: "Because now is the time of critical survival, as the public said, there are enemies on all sides!" I now have an empty army, but I have no food and grass, and I am not able to fight anymore. As he spoke, he opened the curtain of the big tent with his hand, felt the cold wind outside the tent, took a deep breath, and spit it out a long time, and then continued: "I don't care how you know about the secret letter and how you got out of prison without authorization. Now that you have an idea, let's talk carefully about how our army should retreat to the Dangyin. ”

Hearing this, he arched his hand and said: "Cao Cao is eyeing the south bank, and now that the situation is clear, our army should retreat to Dangyin overnight." The lord can urgently order a team of soldiers, rush to Bingzhou to give an order, and order Shi Gaogan to immediately mobilize soldiers, horses, grain and grass, and go to the Black Mountain area to respond. Our army now has 300,000 soldiers, and the lord can order General Jiang Qi to be the front and lead all the cavalry to defend the retreat of Dangyin day and night. Then ordered General Zhang He to lead 50,000 troops, as a guard, both of them are famous generals in Hebei, familiar with the battle array, with the two of them for the army to break off, will be able to protect the Chinese army. The lord ordered General Jiang Qi's soldiers and horses to leave all their grain and grass behind and supply them to General Zhang He's rearguard. This place is only more than 240 miles away from Dangyin, and the more than 10,000 cavalry of General Jiang Qi are marching at full speed, and they will be able to reach Dangyin in a day and night, and the matter of grain and grass can be solved. And General Zhang He wants to meet the Cao army after the break, and the supply of grain and grass is difficult, so he must not be sloppy, otherwise these 50,000 soldiers and horses are only afraid of being more auspicious and less auspicious. ”

Before he finished speaking, Guo Tu on the side interrupted Fu Zhu and said: "General Jiang Qi's cavalry is not much, and the grain and grass that can be left is not enough for General Zhang He's 50,000 army. The soldiers mobilized from Yecheng in our army, their families are in the hands of Cao Cao, anyway, it is difficult for them to return to their hearts and the lord, and the lord might as well order them to meet the enemy with this general Zhang He. The lord can inform General Zhang He of the cause and effect, and tell him that when he can't do anything, he can abandon the army and leave, and the Yuan army will let them surrender to Cao Cao. Now that there is a shortage of grain and grass, I think only in this way can General Zhang He calmly stop Cao's army. ”

The frustrated professor on the side frowned tightly when he heard this, but he had to admit that Guo Tu's words still made some sense. Although it is a little difficult to get over my conscience, it is really a clever plan at the moment. Therefore, he said ruthlessly: "What the public rule says is extremely true, and there is no problem with arranging it like this." Lord, if the 300,000 army wants to retreat, it is impossible not to be discovered by Cao Cao. But even so, the lord still had to order the whole army to retreat quietly as much as possible. Now there is still a natural danger of the Yellow River, and even if Cao Jun wants to cross the river, it is not something that can be completed in a moment or three. With the time he had to build the pontoon bridge, the Chinese army of our army could at least retreat calmly. ”

Yuan Shao nodded yes when he heard this, and then continued: "As soon as our army retreats, Cao's army will think about crossing the river to pursue." The Yellow River is dangerous, although it can block the attack of Cao's entire army, but Cao Cao has a naval army, and it is not difficult to transport elites across the river to pursue when the time comes. The lord ordered General Zhang He to lead his troops to ambush outside the camp, as long as the Cao army came, it would not be difficult to annihilate his elite, and General Zhang He could retreat calmly at that time......"

The plan of the frustrated professor was talked about for half an hour, and then it was finished. This plan was originally discussed by Xun Chen and Fu Zhi, but now it has been improved under the investigation and filling of gaps by Guo Tu and Feng Ji. Therefore, Yuan Shao immediately ordered that it be carried out accordingly. As for Xun Chen in Liyang City, everything had already been arranged at this moment, just waiting for Yuan Shao to order a retreat. Now that the order came, Xun Chen did not delay and started to evacuate directly according to the plan.

Everything seemed to be as expected by Frustration, Jiang Qi's soldiers and horses had rushed overnight, and had already galloped away in the direction of Dangyin. Yuan Shao's Chinese army has also been opened, and Gao Lan, Han Meng, Wei Yuanjin and other generals escorted the army and went towards Dangyin. As for Zhang He, he commanded the last 50,000 soldiers and horses, 10,000 made the appearance of a large army retreating in a hurry in the camp, and the remaining 40,000 people were ambushed outside the camp. As long as the generals of the Cao army are killed in an ambush, according to the inference of Fu Zhi, there will be defeat and no victory!

All the plans of the frustrated professor are going smoothly step by step, but Zhang He, who has been broken, is depressed at this time. Cao Jun was indeed as frustrated as expected, there were not many soldiers and horses, but only 10,000 people. However, they divided a cavalry and killed them in the direction of Dangyin. The remaining more than 5,000 people entered Dazhai and prepared to occupy Liyang by the way. It's just that although this Cao army was ambushed, Zhang He didn't even have even a little bit of joy. A big banner of Zhao characters, Zhang He didn't have to think about it to know that the person who came must be Changshan Zhao Zilong, who killed Yuan Jun before the official crossing. This person rushed to kill in the army of 100,000, and he was still able to kill Yuan Shao to cut his beard and abandon his robe, and now he has thousands of cavalry under his command, and he is the opponent of Cao's army with these 50,000 soldiers with low fighting spirit? Fu Zhi expected everything, but he didn't expect what kind of power a fierce general like Zhao Yun had to influence the current battle situation.

What's more, this army that was left behind and cut off was an outcast. Yuan Shao was able to say the words that made him abandon the army and flee when he saw that the situation was not good, which shows that he already knew the fate of this army and horses. Yuan Shao understands that these soldiers who have been left behind are not stupid, and now there is not much difference between breaking the queen and sending their lives, even if they really block the Cao army, it will be difficult for them to return to Hebei in the case of a shortage of food and grass. People's minds have changed, the army's heart is unstable, Zhao Yun is so brave to kill, even if Zhang He is brave in Cao's army, but it still can't change the fact of defeat.

Compared with Japan and China, by the time Cao Cao arrived late from the south bank of the river, the battle under Liyang City had already ended. Fifty thousand Yuan soldiers died, those who fled, and in the end only a few thousand people were captured by Zhao Yun. As for Zhang He, he didn't even have time to inform Yuan Jun that he could surrender, and he didn't even have time to escape with his personal guards, so he was shot in the head of the horse by Zhao Yun, who had already been targeting him, and fell off the horse, and now he had to become Zhao Yun's prisoner.

However, Cao Cao did not mean to recruit Zhang He at this moment, and Yuan Shao escaped, which was a good time to beat the water dogs! Therefore, Cao Cao only ordered Han Hao to temporarily guard Liyang, and Zhao Yun immediately continued to march with the army. In Cao Cao's words, the soldiers are fast, and Yuan Shao's life must be left here!
