Chapter 249: Embattled (II)
Tian Feng smiled, patted Xu You's arm, then straightened his chest, strode towards Yuan Shao, rarely separated from the judges, senior cadres and others who were around Yuan Shao, opened his eyes to Yuan Shaoyuan, who was crying, and reproached loudly:
"My lord, how can you be a woman at the moment of the great enemy? If the lord doesn't make a decision as soon as possible at this moment, is he waiting for the enemy to attack from the north and south and be captured? β
All sounds disappeared in an instant.
Yuan Shao was full of excitement, as if he had been slapped on the head by Tian Feng, quickly wiped away his tears and stood up, held Tian Feng's hand tightly, and asked in a choked voice: "Yuan Hao has a good plan?" β
Tian Feng nodded heavily: "Go!" Hurry up and go, go overnight! As long as you turn over Taihang and enter the state, it is not difficult to have a day of comeback! β
"Temporary retreat does not mean failure, although the lord is frustrated today, he still has enough prestige, has the support of the world's gate valves, and has the support of many respected ministers in the court, as long as he enters the state, he will be out of danger, and he will have a great chance to make a comeback, and he is much closer to Chang'an!"
"Lord, this is the only chance at the moment, once lost, once the precious time is delayed, the enemy who is several times larger than me will come quickly, at that time, the momentum of the encirclement has been completed, and the lord may never have any chance again!"
Yuan Shao looked at Tian Feng dumbfounded, knowing that Tian Feng's resolute strategy was the only way for him to survive at the moment, but he still couldn't accept this sudden heavy blow.
Gao Gan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly grabbed Tian Feng's shirt and roared angrily: "What did you say? It's just that you retreat from the battle, and you dare to bewitch the lord to flee without a fight. What are your intentions? β
"Lord, please give the order to kill Tian Feng!"
The judge seized the opportunity and loudly pleaded to kill his biggest political enemy. The gloomy and cold glint in his eyes could no longer be concealed, but he didn't expect that Chun Yuqiong, Han Meng, Jiang Yiqu, Wei Yuanjin, Han Juzi and other generals also knelt down one after another to ask Tian Feng to behead, and surprisingly spoke in unison and hated the enemy.
"Well, I knew it was going to be like this......"
Only Xu You, who was standing far away, sighed repeatedly, due to the plan to sing down Yuan Shao several times, Xu You has now been excluded from the decision-making circle and lost Yuan Shao's attention and trust. Therefore, he wisely chose to remain silent and choose to watch from afar.
I saw Yuan Shao suddenly raise his hand to stop everyone's attack on Tian Feng. Ordered everyone to sit down, then took Tian Feng's hand, personally sent him to the first place on the left side to sit down, and said to Tian Feng, who was grateful, with bitterness:
"Yuan Hao, don't go to your heart. It's an extraordinary time. I want to hear your thoughts, why don't you stop persuading me to fight to the death with Liu Zijian, but suddenly change my mind and persuade me to avoid the enemy's edge and go west to merge with the state? β
Tian Feng swallowed his parched throat hard, and replied with great sincerity:
"My lord, when I saw the head of General Liyi, my subordinates knew that Gongsun Zhan's army and the tens of thousands of difficult Qingzhou troops were probably not far from us. The subordinates even dared to vouch with their heads that this coalition force was following the footsteps of our army at high speed. There were definitely no less than 30,000 horses, and they were probably all strong cavalry. β
"Look at the south again, Liu Zijian's 60,000 army is on the north bank of Huanshui, fifty miles in front of us, so the time left by heaven for the lord is running out, at most only one day, or even half a day!"
"Lord, through the previous battles, the lord must have seen the speed and ferocity of the Qingzhou Army, and the amazing night combat ability of the well-trained Qingzhou Army, but the vast majority of the soldiers of our army have night blindness, and what they are most afraid of is night fighting!"
"Nothing else, what should we do if the enemy from the north or south suddenly arrives tonight or tomorrow morning? Danger, my lord! β
After listening to Tian Feng's heartfelt words, he immediately thought of the strong combat effectiveness of Zhang He and Fu Min's subordinates and the continuous harassment and attacks day and night, including Yuan Shao, all the civil and military officials only felt that their hairs stood on end, and their spines were cold, where did they still have the heart to fight and exclude Tian Feng, who was above them in terms of mind and strategy, and was deeply valued by Yuan Shao?
Yuan Shao, who was on the verge of despair in his heart, turned pale, but at this time, he still couldn't give up everything in front of him: "Yuan Hao, don't worry! Let me think about it, let me think again......"
"Newspaperβ"
The lieutenant of the squire, who had been guarding the door, ran in quickly, knelt down in a hurry, and reported loudly: "The enemy's 500 elites are escorting more than 100 carriages to come slowly, and they have reported from afar that our army has come out of the scouts, saying that the cars are carrying the families of the lord and the lords, as many as 1,400 people, and they have now traveled to Zhouzhuang, which is eight miles to the south......
######
The sun disappeared into the clouds of the western sky, and the withered earth lost the warmth of the sun, and became extremely cold and desolate under the wrath of the howling cold wind.
The convoy composed of more than 100 carriages of all kinds stopped again at a distance of five miles from the Yuan army camp, and the Qingzhou army general Zhai Thou, who led the escort, glanced at the more and more Yuan army cavalry in front of him, and then looked at the Yuan army scouts who had been following both sides of the convoy from a distance, hehehe, he smiled, called the two captains to give a low command, and then rode to the wide and luxurious four-wheeled carriage in the middle of the team.
"Second son, please."
Zhai Chao shouted in a friendly manner and turned over and dismounted.
There was a panic in the spacious carriage carrying Yuan Shao's four wives and concubines and six children, and there seemed to be a sound of "huh" crying.
After a long time, the gold-painted door of the luxury carriage opened, and Yuan Xi, who was wearing a white mink coat and a jade and gold crown, slowly stretched out his head, and looked at Zhai Chao, who was standing outside the carriage with a worried face, smiling and waiting: "What do you want to do?" If you want to kill, you will kill, why torture me like this? β
Zhai Chao laughed, seeing that Yuan Xi had no intention of getting out of the car, he sighed in his heart, took out the letter on his waist, and handed it to Yuan Xi with both hands:
"The second prince said with a smile, this place is only five miles away from the camp of the original general, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, I will not send you again...... Don't worry, there are many cavalry and scouts under your father's command two miles ahead, on the left and right sides, as soon as we walk away, they will definitely come up to protect the second son and his family immediately, and soon the second son and his family will be safely delivered to the side of the original general. β
Yuan Xi hurriedly looked to the left and right, and sure enough, he saw a group of Yuan army scouts scattered five hundred steps away from a distance, and the fear and panic in his heart were suddenly relieved, but his pale face was still nervous that could not be concealed:
"Will the general really let me and my family go? But why did your men fence off the carriages in front and behind? β
Zhai Chao politely stuffed the letter into Yuan Xi's hand: "Second son, don't worry, my five hundred brothers have sent everyone such a long way, and it is also appropriate to greet you before parting...... This letter was written by my father-in-law to General Benchu, and the prince must take it, otherwise it will delay the big event, haha! β
"Okay, let's not talk about it, I wish my son and his family a safe and smooth life, and say goodbye!" (To be continued......)
