White horse.

Behind Yuan Xu stood a Yuan Jun.

He waved his hand, and Yuan Jun retreated.

"The Cao army in the city should have received the order." He said to Ma Yi: "Pay close attention to the enemy's movements, and pursue them as soon as you leave the city!" ”

Ma Yi responded and sent a Yuan army to convey the order.

In White Horse City, after receiving Cao Cao's order to retreat immediately, Liu Yan did not dare to delay at all.

Yuan Jun did not move, he already felt that the situation was not right.

As soon as he recovered from his injuries, although Zhang Liao hated to seek revenge on Yuan Xu immediately, he also found that the momentum was not right, and he had no objection to Cao's army's withdrawal from Baima.

Yuan Xu intercepted and killed Cao's army twice, and there were only 2,000 soldiers left in the city.

There was no need to carry too much baggage, and the soldiers of the Cao army did not take too long to complete the preparation.

Cao Jun went out of the city, and Yuan Xu soon got the news.

Leaving a thousand people to guard, Ma Yi led a thousand soldiers into Baima, and he personally led 3,000 Yuan troops to follow Cao's army.

After walking not far out of the city, he rode a fast horse to Zhang Liao and the others.

"Three generals." The scout said: "Yuan Xianxin led 3,000 troops to pursue our army!" ”

Cao's army had only 2,000 men, and the number was at a disadvantage.

Zhang Liao immediately ordered: "Abandon the baggage and march quickly!" ”

The soldiers of Cao's army were given the order to abandon their baggage on the side of the road and speed up their pace to the south.

Yuan Xu, who was following behind, didn't chase too quickly, just hung from a distance!

Zhao Yi set up an ambush in the middle of the road, and when Cao's army entered the ambush, he could be annihilated by flanking from front to back.

Cao Jun gave up his baggage, Yuan Jun looked greedy, and some soldiers had the idea of robbing.

Before they could make a move, Yuan Xu shouted loudly: "Leave a hundred people to guard the baggage." The rest of the people continue to pursue! Those who leave the team without permission will be killed! ”

Military orders are issued. The soldiers of the Yuan army did not dare to make any moves, leaving more than 100 people to pack up their baggage in one place. The rest followed Yuan Xu and continued to chase after Cao Jun.

After walking nearly twenty miles, Liu Yan glanced back.

Yuan Jun always followed behind, and he said suspiciously: "Yuan Xianxin is also eccentric, leading the army to pursue, fighting and not fighting back or returning, what is his intention?" ”

"The envoy has sent people to open the way, can you send back the news?" Zhang Liao asked.

"No news has been sent back yet!" Liu Yan shook his head.

"Not good!" Zhang Liao reined in his horse and said to Liu Yan and Guan Yu: "The vanguard of our army should have been annihilated by the enemy!" Yuan Xianxin was unhurried, just waiting for our army to enter the ambush! ”

"The general's words are a bit alarmist!" Liu Yan didn't believe it: "Five hundred soldiers." No matter how well the enemy army leaks, it is impossible to kill them all......"

"What if they kill them all?"

was speechless when asked by Zhang Liao, and Liu Yan didn't know how to respond.

"All the troops are in formation!" Zhang Liao ordered: "Fight against Yuan Xianxin!" ”

The 2,000 Cao troops stopped one after another, and lined up towards the pursuing Yuan army.

Seeing this, Yuan Xu, who was chasing after him, also ordered the soldiers to line up to meet the enemy.

At the same time, Zhao Yi, who was leading the army and was dormant not far ahead, was rewarded by the scout.

Cao Jun noticed something was wrong, stopped the march, and put on a decisive battle with the main force.

"The order goes down. Get back now! Zhao Yi ordered.

One thousand Yuan troops left the ambush and quickly advanced towards Cao's army.

The news that Zhao Yi led the army from behind quickly spread to the ears of Zhang Liao and others.

Knowing that the back road was cut off, Liu Yan gasped: "Yuan Xianxin has taken the lead everywhere, and he still has half a chance of winning against the enemy?" ”

Zhang Liaotie's face was blue. Guan Yu's face was indifferent.

The army led by Yuan Xu gradually approached, and Zhao Yi also led the army from behind.

The 2,000 Cao army fell into a situation where there was interception in front and chasing soldiers in the back.

Cao Ren was ordered to gallop to the White Horse, and it was three days after he arrived.

Head of White Horse Castle. The battle flag of Yuan's army fluttered high.

The wilderness was quiet, and there was no sign of fighting.

The Cao army that withdrew from the city was nowhere to be found.

Looking at the battle flag of the Yuan army waving in the wind on the white horse city wall. Cao Ren was stunned.

Rush to the rescue, it's still a step too late!

"Send out the scouts. The search can contain the remnants of our army. Cao Ren ordered.

Several scouts left the group, while Cao's army slowly retreated, with no intention of staying outside White Horse City.

In the slow retreat, Cao's troops scattered everywhere returned one after another.

Cao Jun, who returned to the team, was all wounded, and his condition was extremely desolate.

"Yuan's army is flanked on both sides, and it is difficult for our army to resist the enemy." A Cao Jun with tattered clothes and armor stood in front of Cao Ren with his head bowed, and said in a panic: "General Guan and General Zhang fought out of the encirclement together, and General Liu is nowhere to be found......

"Needless to say!" Cao Ren stopped the soldiers.

Cao Jun, who replied, bowed down in fear.

Cao Ren's face turned pale, and he ordered the guards behind him: "Send more people, be sure to find three generals!" ”

The guards answered the command.

Dozens of fast horses came out of the camp again.

Yuan Xu played Kai in a row, and the news was transmitted back to Yecheng, and the Hebei bureaucrats were jubilant.

Yecheng Prison.

In a cell, Tian Feng sat on a messy haystack.

was thrown into prison for many days, Tian Feng was unkempt, and he had long lost the elegant style of a scribe.

"Tian Gong." The guard who held him in custody went to the prison door and whispered, "Yuan Gong is here!" Look at the face should be very happy, and after a few good words from Tian Gong to him, he will be fine! ”

Knowing that Yuan Shao was coming, Tian Feng raised his eyelids.

He said indifferently: "Thank you for mentioning it, Yuan Gong must be in front of him." ”

"Tian Gong can see through!" The guard said: "The fifth prince broke Cao's army in Baima and completely annihilated Zhang Liao's department. ”

"Even if the fifth prince is talented, how can he fight the complicated situation in Hebei?"

The guard didn't dare to answer, and stepped aside.

After a while, Yuan Shao appeared in the aisle with two guards.

"Gong Yuan visits the prison and opens the prison door." One of the guards commanded the guards.

Fearfully responded, the guards opened the cell door.

Yuan Shao walked into the cell.

"Yuan Hao, I haven't seen you for many days!" His voice was low and cold.

Tian Feng hurriedly got up, saluted and said, "Boxing Yuan Gong to visit in person, the sinner Tian Feng is very frightened!" ”

"Do you know why so-and-so came?"

"Yuan Gong came, presumably because the war was unfavorable?"

"!" Glaring at him, Yuan Shao said: "With a certain number of years, don't you know this temperament?" Why do you still repeatedly contradict and oppose the use of troops against Cao Cao? Can't hope for something good? ”

"Yuan Gong Mingjian!" Tian Feng said: "This is indeed not the best time to break Cao, please ......"

"Xian Xin broke the Cao army one after another, and our army played Kai one after another!" Yuan Shao interrupted Tian Feng: "Yuan Hao is obsessed, and he still needs to stay here for a while longer. ”

Tian Feng didn't say anything more, Yuan Shao turned around and left.

After Yuan Shao left, the guard leaned in front of the cell and whispered: "Tian Gongzhen, why can't you listen to persuasion, what are you fighting with Yuan Gong?" Just say a few soft words, be soft, and the matter will pass. ”

"Hebei will be defeated, and there will be eggs under the nest!" Tian Feng sighed: "Yuan Gong no longer believes in so-and-so, even if he goes out, what can he do?" Instead of becoming inflammatory, it is better to sit in prison! (To be continued.) )
