Chapter 135: Youzhou Ends
These more than 1,000 soldiers were slaughtered by the Yuan army after a long delay of half an hour, and at this time, they had already lost Zhang Zai's figure in their eyes. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Ju Yi also returned to Tian Feng, and of the 60,000 people in his hands, there were only more than 40,000 left, and he lost 13,000 people, leaving only less than 5,000 troops to conquer the north.
"Unexpectedly, in the end, it fell short, and tens of thousands of soldiers of the Youzhou Army ran away, and the Northern Army retreated." Hearing the battle report, Tian Feng was not surprised by the strength of the Northern Army, it is obvious to all, it is not easy for Ju Yi to be able to do this step.
Ju Yi on the side heard Tian Feng's words, he didn't say anything in his mouth, but he was a little angry in his heart, he thought that the Northern Army could achieve victory, just because the soldiers were well-trained, and there was no problem with his command.
However, he was defeated by the Northern Army, this is a fact, and he has nothing to say, but he secretly muttered in his heart, if he has the opportunity, he must make the Northern Army look good.
"Okay, since the remnants of the Northern Army and Gongsun Zan have retreated, then the whole army will clean up the battlefield and send scouts to the north at the same time to investigate the movements of the Northern Army."
Although the war was over, the military power was thrown into Tian Feng's hands, and even if Ju Yi wanted to pursue Zhang Zai, he could only obey Tian Feng's orders and start cleaning the battlefield.
In Yijing City, Tian Feng and others were all smiling after seeing the results of the battle, they all got a total of three million grains (one Hu is equal to one stone), enough for 100,000 people to eat for ten years, with this batch of grain, enough to make Jizhou's military strength stronger to a higher level.
When the fire in Gongsun Zhan's mansion was extinguished, Yuan Shao was also invited by Tian Feng and others to the city and stood at Gongsun Zhan's mansion.
Gongsun Zhan's mansion had long since been reduced to rubble, and many soldiers were cleaning up the mess and carrying out more than a dozen charred corpses and placing them on the ground.
"My lord, this is all the corpses inside." Several soldiers bowed and bowed.
"This ......" Looking at the several corpses in front of him, a trace of shock flashed in Tian Feng's eyes, Gongsun Chan set fire to the mansion, they were all at the scene, but none of them had the voice of anyone other than Gongsun Chan.
Could it be ......
Tian Feng couldn't help but shudder, if this was really the case, how hard Gongsun Zhan's heart should be!
"Shhh
The others were not stupid, and they quickly understood Gongsun Zhan's behavior, followed by a gasp.
What a hard heart it must be to do such a vicious thing, and he can't be spared, and he even hangs his sisters, wives and children, and then sets himself on fire, how mad is this.
What would I do if I were to change places?
"Report ...... Enlightening the lord, the north found traces of the northern army. In the midst of everyone's emotion, a scout suddenly broke into everyone's sight.
Yuan Shao's eyes froze after hearing this, and he silently glanced at the people around him, then looked at Tian Feng and asked, "Yuan Hao, this battle is not over yet, and you still need to decide the next battle, how to do it?" ”
Tian Feng's eyes flashed with deep emotion, now that Yijing has been broken, it means that the war has ended, as for how the Northern Army moves, it is another matter, and Yuan Shao continues to hand over the military power to himself, no matter what his intentions are, this act alone is worthy of his desperate loyalty.
Tian Feng bowed, then looked at Yuan Shao and replied: "Lord, Feng thinks that there is no need to worry about the Northern Army at this time, our first task is to control the entire territory of Youzhou, so please appoint the assassin of Youzhou to calm the hearts of the people." ”
Ju Yi on the side heard Tian Feng's answer, although he disagreed with Tian Feng's approach very much, but seeing Yuan Shao's contemplative appearance, he seemed to be a little hesitant, Ju Yi's heart suddenly moved, and said: "My lord, the last general thinks that the northern army should be expelled quickly. ”
Ju Yi has long wanted to pursue Zhang Zai, in today's battle, all the merits were taken away by Tian Feng, he didn't even have a little merit, and even lost his soldiers, if he didn't make some merit, how could he gain a foothold in the army?
Yuan Shao glanced at Ju Yi and said lightly: "Then if you go to pursue, how many men and horses do you need?" ”
Ju Yi looked at Yuan Shao in a daze, as if he didn't know how to answer, he hesitated for a long time, and finally spoke: "It takes about 80,000 people." ”
"Hmph, 80,000 people, this is half of Jizhou's troops, you are really capable!" Yuan Shao snorted coldly, and then said: "According to what Yuan Hao said, quickly accept the entire territory of Youzhou, and do not conflict with the Northern Army for the time being." ”
Then Yuan Shao didn't look at Ju Yi Tieqing's face, and turned around and left directly.
"No!" All prayed.
Seeing Yuan Shao leaving, Ju Yi could only respond: "No!" ”
After Yuan Shao left, Ju Yi glanced at Tian Feng unkindly, snorted heavily, and didn't listen to Tian Feng's arrangements, and walked directly out of the city.
At this time, Zhang Zai and his entourage converged Luo Cheng, who had fought their way out of the siege outside the city, all the way to the north, and went straight to Juyong Pass.
After running for more than a hundred miles in one go, everyone was tired and panting, and then sat down or collapsed directly on the ground regardless of the image.
"Lord, what should I do next?" Tens of thousands of people were homeless, and even their baggage was lost in the camp outside Yijing City.
After a brief rest, he distributed all the remaining dry food of the whole army, and after everyone had eaten, he hurried to Juyong Pass, where there was enough food.
In Juyong Pass, Zhang Zai showed his identity and was immediately put in by the guards guarding the pass.
At this time, Zhang Zai remembered to count the casualties, and soon someone came and gave Zhang Zai a detailed report.
The Northern Army lost nearly 10,000 casualties, and the number of enemies killed is unknown, and the Youzhou Army that followed him to Juyong Pass was only more than 5,000 people, which was the largest casualty since he started the army.
"Fengxiao, what should we do next?" Zhang Zai looked at the strings of numbers, suddenly felt a pain in his heart, and then turned his head to look at Guo Jia and asked.
Guo Jia also frowned when he heard that there were only 20,000 people left in the whole army, just this little strength was not enough to stuff Yuan Shao's teeth, I am afraid that he would not even be able to contain Juyong Pass.
Of course, it is not that there are not enough troops, but that there is not enough food to consume in Juyong Pass, and the only way is to withdraw the troops immediately, and when the time is right, then plot against Youzhou.
Zhang Zai is naturally unwilling, but this is also human nature, if this trip only gets the title of Youzhou Mu, it will not be of much benefit, if you can't gain a foothold in Youzhou, even if you have more titles, it is useless, after all, Taihang Eight Passes are not so easy to break.
But if you want to occupy Youzhou, you must have enough food, grass and troops, with more than 20,000 people, even if you only occupy Shanggu County, if Yuan Shao's army comes to attack, you may not be able to hold Shanggu.
Just when Zhang Zai was in a dilemma, Xue Rengui suddenly came to him,
