Chapter 195: It's better to be loose than to be tight
To bury Li Jiang, Yuan Xu chose the nearest city to enter.
The city dispatched soldiers to accompany Meng Tai to escort Nian'er and others to Penglai, and he hurried all the way to Beihai.
Outside Beihai City.
The banner hunted and flew over, the spears and horses were like dragons, and the Yuan army surrounded the city.
Yuan Xu arrived at the barracks and was confronted by a general.
He recognized the general who had come up to him.
This person is the ruler who helped him break the city in Yijing.
"Five sons!" With a bow, Guan Tong said: "The eldest son has been waiting for a long time, and the last general will come to greet him." ”
"There is General Law!" After greeting with Guan Tong, Yuan Xu entered the barracks with him.
Before he arrived at the tent, he saw Yuan Tan waiting outside the tent with a group of subordinates.
Walking forward quickly, Yuan Xu made a big salute: "Eldest brother! ”
"The military situation is critical, and there is no need to be polite!" Yuan Tan said: "Speak with a certain account!" ”
Arching his hand towards everyone, Yuan Xu followed Yuan Tan into the handsome tent.
There were quite a few fierce generals under Yuan Tan's command, and staff members such as Xin Ping and Xin Bi also went to war with the army.
The lineup is not strong!
Zang Ba's entry into Qingzhou was too sudden.
By the time Yuan Jun responded, Cao Jun had already captured several cities in a row.
"Cao's army entered Qingzhou and pulled out several cities in a row." Everyone sat down, and Yuan Tan said: "Qidi, Beihai, and Qingzhou were all broken by Zang Ba. A certain leader came to the decisive battle, but the enemy army was as slippery as a fish, and he couldn't catch it firmly! ”
On the way to Qingzhou, Yuan Xu has been paying attention to Cao Jun's movements.
Before coming to Beihai, he already had a plan!
After Yuan Tan introduced the situation, Yuan Xu said: "The enemy army is slippery like a fish. Then the scales were peeled off and caught. ”
"What's the best way to show it?"
"There are only a few thousand people in Zang Ba's department. Our army is outnumbered by them, how can the enemy fight a decisive battle? The step-by-step press has had little effect. Once Cao's army returns to fight to the death, it may be a lose-lose situation. ”
"The meaning of the ...... of the pen"
"Leave it to rest for the time being. In order to draw after-effects! ”
Everyone was stunned.
Xin Ping got up and said: "I have heard that the fifth prince is very wise, but Zang Ba entered Qingzhou as if he was in a no-man's land, but he won more than a dozen cities in a few days......"
"What if you send him more than a dozen cities?" Yuan Xu interrupted Xin's comment: "Zang Ba has always had an old friend in Qingzhou, but isn't there an eldest brother?" ”
Everyone looked at each other, except for Yuan Tan and a few staff members who paid attention to his intentions, the generals didn't even understand what he was talking about.
"The meaning of the show is ......," Yuan Tan frowned.
"Retire for now!"
"It's already chased to the North Sea, how can you retreat?" Someone immediately stood up against it.
Yuan Xu didn't say anything, just looked at Yuan Tan with a smile.
I thought about it for a moment. Yuan Tan asked: "What will happen to our army's retreat?" ”
Yuan Xu said: "Our army suddenly retreated, Zang Ba was greedy for merit, how could he not advance?" ”
Yuan Tan didn't respond, he was still hesitating.
"Xuchang is far from Qingzhou, and it will take three or five days to speed up the whip and say less! Once Cao Cao's military order is issued, it will not be easy to succeed! Our army has only three days! Three days later, a decisive battle with the enemy! ”
The word decisive battle came out, and those who wanted to oppose it also shut up one after another.
Rush to the North Sea. Yuan Jun fought a decisive battle with Cao's army.
Cao's army closed the city and did not come out, and Beihai City was high and deep, and it was difficult to break through for a while.
The decisive battle is just wishful thinking on the part of Yuan Jun!
"I want to lure the enemy out of the city. Does our army have to give up its baggage? Yuan Tan said: "Cao Jun may think that our army has no will to fight, and go out of the city to pursue!" ”
"The two armies have not yet fought, and the morale of our army is high. How can you lose your baggage? Yuan Xu shook his head: "The deployment is rigorous, and the head and tail are taken care of." Retreat step by step! ”
"What do you think?" Yuan Tan asked everyone.
After a moment of silence, Simbi was the first to get up: "A certain seconded!" ”
"Seconded!"
"Seconded!"
Everyone stood up in response.
Yuan Tan didn't hesitate any longer. Immediately ordered: "The whole army retreats for a hundred miles!" ”
Entering Qingzhou, Zang Ba attacked the city all the way, and was not besieged by Yuan's army until he entered Beihai.
Trapped in the city, Zang Ba is also thinking about how to break the deadlock and expand the results.
When there was nothing to be done, news came from the defenders at the head of the city that Yuan's army had withdrawn!
Zang Ba hurriedly went to the city to check.
Outside the city, the Yuan army demolished the camp, the front team had already withdrawn, and the rear team put on a defensive position to prevent the Cao army from following and killing.
"General, the withdrawal of Yuan's army is strange." The adjutant general reminded: "The two armies have not yet fought, how can they withdraw?" ”
"Beihai is a big city, our army is stubborn, and the enemy army is idle. If you don't withdraw, you can only confront! ”
"Look at Yuan Jun!" Pointing out of the city, Zang Ba said: "The advance and retreat are orderly, and there is no chaos." This is a trend of retreat as advance, and it should be a real retreat. ”
"What are the general's plans?"
"Send out scouts and find out where they are stationed before you do it!"
Yuan Jun retreated, and Yuan Tan was never very reconciled.
The army withdrew from the North Sea, and he looked back from time to time.
"Beihai will return to my brother in a few days, why do you need to look at it frequently?"
Yuan Xu said with confidence, which slightly dispelled Yuan Tan's concerns.
"How does Xianxin know that Zang Ba will definitely leave the city?"
"Zang Ba led the army into Qingzhou, in order to conquer the city, wait until the Cao and Yuan families start a war, and cut off the way for our army to advance from the east!"
"Pi is a battlefield general, the army has arrived, even if he is greedy for merit, he must not venture in!"
"Send him more than ten cities, see if he dares to rob them!"
Yuan Tan was stunned!
More than ten cities have been lost, and then the city is sent to the city, and most of the entire Qingzhou has fallen into Cao Junyan.
"The nearby city is withdrawn for defense, and if Cao's army arrives, open the city gate to meet the enemy."
"Manifest this is ......"
"Fiction is reality, our army opens the city gate, even if there is not a single soldier in the city, Zang Ba will not dare to enter because of his concerns!"
"Wait until Zang Ba goes out of the city, and then press forward step by step?"
"Not really!" Yuan Xu said: "Zang Ba went out of the city, wandered between the cities, and the city gate was opened, and he would have concerns. The elder brother sent another army of horses and horses to take the city that had been lost. As for the army, it is hidden, and Zang Ba cannot tell how many men and horses there are. ”
"Our army is attacking the city strongly, Zang Ba must think that there are not many people here, and then it will not be the eldest brother looking for him for a decisive battle, but his own family sent it!"
"If it is really as Xianxin expected, the war in Qingzhou will be decided in a few days!"
Yuan Xu shook his head: "Not necessarily, our army only has three days!" If the lost city cannot be recovered in three days, Qingzhou will be in a stalemate! ”
Yuan's army withdrew from Beihai, and the large army lined up with banners fluttering, although it did not capture the city, its morale did not decrease at all.
The soldiers marched in order, like a triumphant army, and withdrew all the way to the north.
It was getting late, and Yuan Jun was also walking far.
On the Beihai city wall, Zang Ba stared at the outside of the city that was gradually darkening, and his expression was solemn.
Yuan Jun retreated suddenly, and the retreat was orderly, so that he didn't understand what the reason was.
"General!" The scouts who went out of the city to investigate ran up to the city wall: "It has been clear, and the Yuan army has withdrawn more than forty miles!" (To be continued.) )
