Liu Pi led the army out of the city late at night, and Yuan Jun, who was guarding the city gate, of course refused to let him go.

Glaring angrily at Yuan Jun who blocked the way, Liu Bi said: "Military affairs are urgent, if you delay important matters, you can't afford to wait!" ”

"When you go out of the city late at night, you have a warrant from your son." Yuan Jun did not give in: "If the general wants to leave, please show it!" ”

"Cao Jun saw that he was withdrawn, and Gongzi hurriedly did not have time to issue it." Liu Bi said.

Before the soldier could say more, Gong Du glanced behind him.

Several soldiers stepped forward and pushed Yuan Jun, who was blocking the way, to the side.

"What are you waiting for?"

The Yuan army at the gate of the city raised their swords one after another.

Without answering, the soldiers behind Gong Du stepped forward to force them back, and another group of people rushed over to open the city gate.

Yuan Jun, who was guarding the city gate, could only watch the army leave the city.

Liu Pi led the army to leave Puyang, and Yuan Jun on duty did not dare to despise it, so he hurriedly reported to Yuan Xu.

had already fallen asleep, and when Yuan Xu got the news, he immediately ordered to send someone to chase them back.

After leaving the city, Liu Pi led the army all the way south.

He hadn't gone far when he heard a shout behind him: "General Liu, General Gong stay!" ”

Hearing the shout, Liu Bi did not stop the horse, but sped up.

In a moment, a fast horse came to his side.

"Childe has an order, please ask the two generals to quickly lead the army back to the city?"

The one who came to give the order was a guard Yuan Xu.

Knowing that the guards beside him were all cronies, Liu Bi didn't dare to offend, and said: "Your Excellency is tired of returning to your son, Cao Cao is evacuating, I think he must be negligent and can lead the army to pursue!" ”

"I don't know what the general thinks. I only know that the son has an order, please return to the city as soon as possible. "The guards won't budge. There is no intention of returning.

Liu Bi frowned, and Gong Du stepped forward and said, "If Your Excellency doesn't leave." A certain ordered you to be tied up and sent back to Puyang City. ”

"Do the two generals have to rebel against the son?"

"Your Excellency's words are serious." Liu Bi said: "The two of us just feel that the fighter plane is fleeting, and we will not dare to abandon our son!" ”

Without further ado, Liu Pi ordered: "The army is moving forward, be sure to catch up with Cao Cao!" ”

Liu Pi and Gong both insisted on disobeying military orders, and the guards were alone and powerless to stop them, so they could only watch them lead the army away.

Galloping back to Puyang, he didn't dare to delay for a moment. reported the matter to Yuan Xu overnight.

Knowing that the two refused to return, Yuan Xu summoned Cui Yan, Chen Lin, and Zhao Yi to the conference hall.

There were only four people seated in the Nuo Grand Chamber.

Yuan Xu said to Cui Yan and the others: "We will enter Puyang, and we only need to defend to prevent Cao's army from going to Yecheng." First of all, Meng Da and Jiang Qi left the city for no reason, and Liu Pi and Gong Du led the army to pursue Cao Cao, how do you think this matter should be handled? ”

When he came to Yuan Xu, Chen Lin never made a suggestion.

Yuan Xu asked, and he said: "The son is too lenient and benevolent, so he has today." ”

"Chen Gong, please speak." Chen Lin's words are not very good. Yuan Xu was annoyed, but let him continue.

"Meng Da and Jiang Qi only obeyed Yuan Gong's orders, and Xuan Xuan came to fight, and he left Puyang for the safety of Hebei." Chen Lin said: "His heart is tolerable. but his heart is to be punished. Gongzi should repair the book Yuan Gong and ask Yuan Gong to punish the two of them. ”

Yuan Xu nodded and said, "This matter is handed over to Gong Chen." ”

"Liu Bi and Gong Du are from the Yellow Turban." Chen Lin continued: "When I joined Cao Cao and betrayed, I didn't build an inch when I came to Gongzi. Why aren't you anxious? ”

"In the battle of Guandu, Hebei suffered huge losses." Yuan Xu said: "Although my father recruited soldiers and horses. It's hard to raise for a while. General Zhang went to Xudu, and the soldiers and horses must be insufficient. How can you break through the city? Can you see that Cao Cao can't see it? ”

"Childe's wisdom is far-reaching, how can Liu Bi and others reach it?" Cui Yan said: "These two people are under the command of the new son, and they must not be light or heavy, and they will rashly go out of the city or be surrounded by Cao's army, and our army must still go to help." ”

"What Cui Gong said is exactly what he thinks in his heart."

"Anhu." Looking at Zhao Yi, Yuan Xu ordered: "You will lead five thousand troops with a certain army and go to the rescue!" ”

"There are only 8,000 soldiers in the city, and 5,000 out of the city, what if Cao Jun arrives?" Cui Yan said: "Gongzi can't lead the army in person, he only needs to send a team of soldiers and horses to bluff. As for Liu Pi and Gong Du, if they can fight their way out of the siege, it will be creation, and if they are besieged by Cao's army, it will also be their fate! ”

"Since he came to vote, how could he bear to let it go?" Yuan Xu said: "Puyang annoys Cui Gong and Chen Gong to guard, there should be a fierce battle out of the city this time, if a certain person is unable to return, the two must not go to help." ”

"Childe ......" Cui Yan and Chen Lin both wanted to dissuade them.

Yuan Xu stopped them and said: "The two of you have already known their intentions, Puyang is critical, and there must be no loss." I also hope that Cui Gong and Chen Gong will focus on the overall situation! ”

Cui Yan and Chen Lin didn't say anything more.

Once Puyang falls, Yecheng will no longer have a barrier.

Liu Pi and Gong Du led the army out of Puyang City and went all the way to the south.

Cao Cao deployed defenses on the south bank of the Yellow River earlier, and tens of thousands of soldiers lined up on the south bank for dozens of miles, waiting for Yuan's army to chase after him!

Two thousand five hundred soldiers, far fewer than Cao's army.

Liu Pi decided that Cao Cao would come to the aid of Xu Du and would have no intention of fighting.

He led his army across the Yellow River, and although he had to be reported by the scouts, he still ordered to move forward.

Yuan Jun crossed the river, and Cao Jun immediately caught up.

Two armies of completely unequal numbers advanced towards each other.

Unbeknownst to Liu Pi and Gong, shortly after they crossed the Yellow River, a Cao army appeared behind Yuan's army.

They did not kill immediately, but followed all the way, blocking the retreat of Yuan's army.

Seeing Yuan Jun from afar, Liu Pi stopped the team.

More than 2,000 Yuan troops immediately lined up, and the long lance pointed at the Cao army that was advancing towards them.

The black and oppressive Cao army came overwhelmingly, and Gong Du whispered: "Cao Cao doesn't seem to have any intention of retreating to Xudu. ”

"Xu Du is Cao Cao's foundation, how can he give it up easily?" Liu Pi said: "The whole army is pressing, nothing more than breaking our army in a war. We just have to retreat, and then counterattack when the Cao army catches up, and it can be broken! ”

Gong Du did not object, and Liu Pi immediately ordered the army to retreat.

After crossing the Yellow River, the soldiers of the Yuan army, who did not see Cao's army retreating in a hurry, already felt that something was wrong.

The order to retreat was issued, and Yuan Jun immediately executed it!

Seeing that Yuan's army was retreating, Cao Cao said to Guo Jia: "Fengxiao's expectations are not bad, our army retreated, and Yuan's army really came to chase!" ”

"Liu Pi and Gong Du have newly invested in the Yuan family, and they have not built an inch, and the two of them must be anxious in their hearts." Guo Jia said: "Although Yuan Xianxin has the means, after all, he has little time to get along. The two of them were born in the Yellow Turban, and they never listened to the order, and they thought that the retreat of our army was an excellent opportunity, so how could they easily give up the pursuit? ”

"I don't know if Yuan Xianxin will come to help."

"He's coming!" Guo Jia said: "Although the two of them don't listen to the order, if they let it go, who else will dare to serve the Yuan family in the future?" ”

Cao Cao didn't answer again.

He didn't care about Liu Bi and Gong Du, but he was always thinking about how to break Puyang and capture Yuan Xu! (To be continued.) )
