After Yuan Tan left, Feng Ji was about to walk away, when Yuan Shao, who was lying there, suddenly asked, "Xiansi came here just now?" ”

Hearing Yuan Shao speak, Feng Ji said: "Back to Yuan Gong, the eldest son did come just now." ”

"Did he say anything?" Yuan Shao asked with his eyes closed, still lying there.

"The eldest son said that this place is far away from Yecheng, and he wants to ask Yuan Gong to find a nearby city to settle down first." Feng Ji replied.

"What do you think?" Yuan Shao asked.

"I don't think it's right." Feng Ji said: "Find a nearby city to settle in, although Yuan Gong can rest, but Cao Zirong's army is behind, maybe one day it will catch up." Once Cao Zi melted the siege of the city, with the power of his hundreds of catapults, no matter which city Yuan Gong was in, it would be impossible to stop Cao Zi from melting the city. ”

"What do you mean......" Yuan Shao opened his eyes and looked at Feng Ji.

"I think Yuan Gong should still return to Yecheng." Feng Ji said: "Yecheng is the foundation of Yuan Gong, the southern town guards the city, the soldiers are diligent in training, and it is impossible for the Cao army to enter for a while." ”

"What if Cao Zirong goes to Yecheng?" Yuan Shao said: "Don't forget, he still has many catapults in his hands. Even without catapults, the big wooden birds that can fly in the sky are amazing. ”

Yuan Shao mentioned the flying kite, and Feng Ji's face did not become very good.

Cao Shuo took out several killing weapons this time.

Mobile catapults, which can easily destroy enemy fortifications or walls.

The flying kite, on the other hand, can send people to the rear of the enemy army without bloodshed.

The number of flying kites may be limited, but the pontoon bridge built by Cao Shuo over the Yellow River can carry a large number of people from across the riverbank.

With the coordination of these several battle equipment, any defense seems to be so fragile......

"If Cao Zirong goes to Yecheng...... Feng Ji hesitated for a moment and said, "Duke Yuan can only order the soldiers to defend the city and start street battles with the enemy. ”

"Abandon the city defense and fight the enemy in the streets?" Yuan Shao sat up and looked up at the starry sky: "Is the Yuan family really finished......

"Yuan Gong ......" Feng Ji wanted to explain, but he didn't know how to say it.

After the two defeats of Guandu and Cangting, the Yuan family in Hebei has been greatly damaged.

The strength to compete with the Cao family for the Central Plains is no longer there.

In today's Yuan family, it is not easy to protect themselves......

"I know what you want to say." Before Feng Ji could think about what to say, Yuan Shao waved his hand: "Don't say anything, I know what you want to say." You can't say it, and I don't want to hear it. ”

made a big salute to Yuan Shao, Feng Ji said: "It's also very hard to travel for two days in a row, and I also ask Yuan Gong to rest early, and I will go on the road early tomorrow morning." ”

Yuan Shao waved his hand again and lay down without saying a word.

After lying down, he couldn't fall asleep for a long time, and his mind was always churning about the defeat from Guandu to Cangting.

The once powerful Yuan family fell into such a field in just over a year.

He regretted a little, he shouldn't have provoked the Cao family.

At least choosing to cross the river from Cangting to attack Xuzhou was a huge strategic mistake he made.

I don't know how long it took, but finally felt a little sleepy, and Yuan Shao gradually fell asleep.

In his sleep, he was still immersed in these two defeats.

The cavalry who followed Yuan Shao here were also tired in the past two days.

After stationing, many people fell to the ground and fell asleep.

Although I chose a flat ground as much as possible, after all, it was not a cover, and it was still panic to sleep on the ground.

But the soldiers of the Yuan army were too tired.

No matter how uncomfortable they are, as long as there is a place for them to stretch their bodies, they can sleep in the dark immediately.

The soldiers were sleeping soundly, when someone suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves in a daze.

He lifted his eyes and opened them slightly, only to see many darker shadows appear in the distance in the night.

The shadows sped away, getting closer and closer to them.

Awakened from his sleep, the Yuan Jun didn't react at first, but the sound of horses' hooves getting closer and closer woke him up.

"Oh no, the enemy is catching up." He hurriedly jumped up, ran to the war horse quickly, and shouted at the top of his voice.

The soldiers of the Yuan army, who were still sleeping, heard the shouting and sat up in shock.

Some of them reacted quickly, and before their brains could understand what was happening, they had already subconsciously run towards the war horse.

Those who are slow to react wake up and sit there in a daze.

Rushing towards them was the dragon pattern cavalry led by Chen Zhi.

Although the Yuan family has guarded the north for many years, the cavalry's war horses are all northern horse breeds, but the mounts of the dragon pattern cavalry soldiers are all selected from the northern horse breeds.

Yuan Shao and the others walked for two days, and Chen Zhi led the dragon pattern to ride, and it only took one and a half days to complete.

Moreover, the soldiers on the road also had a short rest, and they were not as embarrassed as Yuan Jun.

"Yuan Gong, let's go!" The soldiers were in chaos, and Yuan Shao, who had just fallen asleep, also woke up, Feng Ji had already run in front of him, and he didn't care about being humble, he grabbed his arm and ran away.

didn't even have time to put on his shoes, Yuan Shao was dragged by Feng Ji to run, and there were Yuan soldiers running around like headless flies.

Glancing back, he asked Feng Ji, "Yuan Tu, what's wrong?" ”

"The enemy is coming!" dragged Yuan Shao to a war horse, Feng Ji helped him onto the horse, and shouted loudly: "Yuan Gong go quickly, I will break the queen!" ”

"Yuan Tu ......" Yuan Shao wanted to greet him along, but Feng Ji slapped the buttocks of the war horse hard.

The war horse was in pain, neighed, spread its hooves and galloped away.

"Don't mess around!" Yuan Shao left, Feng Ji stopped a few Yuan soldiers and shouted to them: "What is the chaos when the enemy army comes? It's nothing more than a dead word, fight with them, maybe there is a glimmer of life! ”

The soldiers of the Yuan army were in confusion, and suddenly someone stood up and told them that there might be life in a fight, and many of the Yuan troops calmed down.

They got on their horses one after another and followed behind Feng Ji to meet the approaching dragon pattern rider.

Some stayed, and of course some fled.

The Yuan army that remained by Feng Ji's side was only one or two hundred people, and many more people still fled without a trace.

Chen Zhi led the dragon pattern cavalry to arrive, and when he saw a group of men and horses blocking the way, he was also stunned.

In the first battle of Cangting, Yuan Jun had already been killed and had no courage.

After chasing here, there were still people who dared to block their way, and Chen Zhi couldn't help but have some respect for the group of people who blocked their way.

Reining in the war horse, Chen Zhi raised his weapon and pointed at Feng Ji: "We only need Yuan Shao here, if the others don't want to die, just disperse." If you have to stop it, you will not be killed. ”

"Yuan Gong is gone!" Feng Ji replied proudly: "Don't say that I won't let you pass, even if you chase him, you may not be able to catch up with him." ”
