After seeing Zhuge Liang arrange the shield array in front of the gate of Hejian City, Yuan Shaozhi knew that the Youzhou army in the city of Ludao was ready to respond, and there was no need to fight this battle anymore, and it was also a loss. So, Yuan Shao gave the order to withdraw the troops.

After Yuan Shao led his troops to defeat and left, Lu Bu and Zhou Yu joined the ranks of the vanguard of the Yuan army, and the 50,000 vanguard soldiers who were killed soon fell apart, most of the sergeants were killed on the spot, a small number of people dropped their weapons and knelt on the ground to surrender, and less than 3,000 people escaped from Lu and returned to Yuan Shao's camp from all directions.

After rectifying the surrender army, Lu Bu came to Zhou Yu on his horse, hugged his fist at Zhou Yu and said: "Thank you Gongjin for coming from thousands of miles to help, a certain representative of the champion Hou, uh, a certain representative of King Yan thanked him first." Although Ao Lie has not yet returned, the news that he was named the king of Yan has long been spread, not only Ao Lie's jurisdiction, but even Cao Cao, who is far away in Guandu, and Sun Ce, who is in Jiangxia, have already received the news.

Zhou Yu returned the salute with a fist and said with a smile: "Wen Hou is polite, King Yan has helped Jiangdong three times and five times, and the children of Jiangdong are all well remembered, how can they stand idly by?" What's more, King Yan's support for Luoyang is a great righteousness, and our Jiangdong disciples don't have time to support Luoyang, so we can only rush to Hejian to do our part for King Yan and the court. ”

Lu Buha laughed a few times, and then pointed to Zhou Tai beside Zhou Yu, with a sense of appreciation in his tone: "This tiger general has a big name? Zhou Tai urged the horse to take a step forward and replied loudly: "A certain is Jiujiang Zhou Tai Zhou Youping, and the bet between Shicai and Wen Hou is that he lost, and later he will punish himself with three bowls of spirits!" ”

Previously, Lu Bu had agreed with Zhou Tai that whoever killed the most enemies would be fined three bowls of wine if the losing side was punished. Zhou Tai had been thinking about this during the battle, and although no one had made statistics for them, the number of kills on both sides still had an approximate idea of each other. Just now, Lu Bu killed at least three or four hundred Yuan troops, and Zhou Tai only killed less than two hundred people at most, so Zhou Tai lost, and Zhou Tai was also convinced and admitted his defeat.

"Hahaha, good! General Zhou is quick to talk, and I will accompany you to have a drink later! Lu Bu was amused by Zhou Tai's uprightness, Da Lu responded to Zhou Tai with a smile, and then turned his head to look at Zhou Yu. Stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please, and said, "Gong Jin, please go into the city." ”

Zhou Yu smiled, turned around and beckoned the Jiangdong Army behind him to start entering the city. When entering the city, Zhou Yu asked Lu Bu with a smile: "Dare to ask Wen Hou." Is it possible that Zhuge Wolong is presiding over the affairs of the city? Lu Bu was stunned, and then smiled: "Not bad." It was Mr. Kong Ming. Gong Jin and Kong Ming have never met. But it's such a tacit understanding, it's really rare, after entering the city, someone will introduce you to you, the two of you are really a moment of brightness, you should really have a drink. ”

The real Zhou Yu is not the small-bellied chicken intestines described in the romance. The narrow-minded character that cannot accommodate things in his chest, but a generation of Confucian generals with a broad heart and elegant temperament, otherwise he would not have been able to say that he would not be an enemy of Ao Lie for the rest of his life, let alone rely on 50,000 sailors like in history. It was in Chibi that Cao Cao's army of 830,000 was defeated. After hearing Lu Bu's words, Zhou Yu also admired Zhuge Liang very much in his heart, judging from Zhuge Liang's series of measures just now, Zhou Yu could see that Zhuge Liang was a rare sage, who grasped every slight change on the battlefield just right, and had a full sense of tacit understanding with himself, so he was also willing to be close to Zhuge Liang.

Entering the city, Zhuge Liang was wearing a robe and holding a feather fan, and was already waiting on the way into the city. Lu Bu turned over and dismounted, took a few steps forward, pointed at Zhuge Liang and said to Zhou Yu: "Gong Jin, this is our military advisor, Mr. Kong Ming." Then, Lu Bu pointed to Zhou Yu and said to Zhuge Liang: "Military advisor, this is Jiangdong Zhou Lang, Zhou Gongjin." ”

Zhuge Liang smiled and saluted Zhou Yu with a fist: "I have heard Gongjin's clever plan to calm the world for a long time, and I have been friends for a long time." I was very fortunate to see Gongjin's true face today. Zhuge Liang's modest attitude immediately won Zhou Yu's favor, jumped off the horse, and saluted Zhuge Liang: "I have heard the name of Mr. Wolong for a long time, and I often hear people say that Wolong and Phoenix can settle the world with one chick, which is really like thunder!" ”

Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu glanced at each other, and suddenly burst into knowing laughter at the same time. In the laughter, the sense of identification with each other is heating up rapidly.

A few families laughed and a few were sad, in stark contrast to the friendly and joyful atmosphere in Hejian City, that is, the gloomy clouds and mist in Yuan Shao's camp. This siege, not only failed to defeat the river, but also was put together by Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang, 50,000 forward troops only fled back 3,000 people, not to mention, in Lu Bu and Zhou Tai's two chiseling, Yuan Shao's troops also had more than 4,000 injuries, so calculated, the battle just now, enough to lose more than 50,000 soldiers of Yuan Shao, and by the way, also took the lives of Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang and Han Lu Zi, it can be described as a complete defeat, so that Yuan Shao's mood is like a dark cloud before the heavy rain, gloomy and gloomy.

Seeing the unhappy look on Yuan Shao's face, no one under his command dared to speak out at this time, and the entire big tent seemed to be as silent as death. After a long time, Yuan Shao's face improved slightly, glanced around at his subordinates, and said, "What are you doing with your face crying?" Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, our army has lost a little miserably this time, and it will be able to get it back in the future, how can there be a war without defeat? Yuan Shao's words are good, but everyone in the tent knows Yuan Shao's temper very well, and this kind of thing can only be said by Yuan Shao himself, if a second person says it, it will inevitably be dragged out by Yuan Shao for the crime he has committed and beaten fifty military sticks. This is Yuan Shao's character, wide on the outside and taboo on the inside, belonging to a typical type where only state officials are allowed to set fires and the people are not allowed to light lamps.

"Well, a defeat is nothing, let's cheer up. Feng Ji, the general will order, let Shang'er, who stayed in Yecheng, recruit 150,000 troops, and quickly come to reinforcements, the river will be defeated, and Ao Lie will be defeated! Yuan Shao gave the order to summon reinforcements. Jizhou is one of the richest states in the sixteen states of the Han Dynasty, and it is also the most densely populated state, and it is also the third largest state in terms of territory, second only to Mingzhou under Ao Lie and Jingzhou divided by Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Sun Ce, and since Cao Cao lightning from Yuan Shao's hands and took away the other half of Qingzhou, Yuan Shao's troops in Qingzhou have come to Jizhou except for those who died in battle and surrendered. Therefore, Yuan Shao was able to raise nearly one million soldiers, of course, this number was deliberately released by Yuan Shao, which must contain a certain amount of water, but Yuan Shao still has an army of seven or eight hundred thousand, which is far stronger than Ao Lie, who has five states but only has 300,000 soldiers and horses.

In this expedition, Yuan Shao brought an army of 300,000, and after a crushing defeat, there were still 250,000 people; In Guandu. The trial also led an army of 130,000 to wage war with Cao Cao, so there were at least 300,000 or 400,000 soldiers and horses left in Jizhou, and there was no big problem in transferring 150,000 people from them.

But the point is. Yuan Shao did not learn his lesson at all, and even let his third son Yuan Shang lead the troops to come. After Yuan Xi's matter. It has been proved that Yuan Shao's four sons, one is not as good as the other, they are all gentlemen, and they have no talent to lead troops to fight at all, and Yuan Shang is really coming. With his son-in-law temperament who can't endure hardships and can't stand sin, isn't he going to disturb the normal order in the army?

Therefore, after receiving Yuan Shao's order, Feng Ji did not react for a long time. In his heart, he was thinking about how to persuade Yuan Shao to send someone else to bring troops over. But this kind of words, it's not easy to say and it's not good to hear, if you don't get it right, it will anger Yuan Shao, especially if you have just experienced a fiasco, at this time to refute Yuan Shao's decision, I'm afraid the end will be much worse than Frustrated, Frustrated just because he said a few words of opposition before the war, he was imprisoned by Yuan Shao, if Feng Ji refuted Yuan Shao at this time, I am afraid that Yuan Shao would be directly ordered to be executed.

Just when Feng Ji hesitated, Yuan Shao's voice sounded again: "Feng Ji! Didn't you hear what Ben said? Don't do it yet! Feng Ji sighed helplessly in his heart, he knew that he couldn't change Yuan Shao's decision, so he simply didn't touch the moldy head, and bowed to Yuan Shao a little stiffly, and replied in a low voice: "Yes, so-and-so, let's do it." Then, Feng Ji walked out of the big tent backwards, looked up to the sky and let out a long sigh, and then returned to his tent, drafted a document, wrote Yuan Shao's meaning into it, and turned back to Yuan Shao's Chinese army big tent, handed it to Yuan Shao for a look, Yuan Shao stamped the big seal of the general of the chariot on it, Feng Ji selected a few fine sergeants, and asked them to quickly send this document to Yecheng.

Three hundred miles west of Hejian City, the members of the Shadow sent the news of Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu's joint defeat of Yuan Shao under Hejian City to Ao Lie, who was on the march. Ao Lie looked at it carefully, lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and said: "After this battle, with Yuan Shao's character, I am afraid that reinforcements will be summoned, and Yuan Shao will definitely not be able to afford defeat." We're going to speed up, Zilong, pass the order, speed up the march, and within two days, we must rush back to Hejian City! ”

Two days later, in the early morning, the morning sun had just climbed to the horizon, and before it had time to sprinkle all the light on the world, on the horizon west of Hejian City, a large group of people and horses suddenly appeared, facing the rising sun, quickly approaching Hejian City.

The sergeants who were responsible for guarding the city wall in the west soon discovered this force, and several anxious sergeants hurriedly turned around without distinguishing between the enemy and me, and wanted to run down the city wall to inform Zhuge Liang of the situation, but they were stopped by some other calm veterans, who pointed to the big banner held high outside the city with a smile and said with a smile: "Look clearly, this is our king back." Liu Xie also stated in the edict that wherever King Yan went, it was like the Son of Heaven coming in person, and this honor made all the soldiers under the command of Ao Lie feel honored, and the pride in his heart is needless to mention.

When the anxious sergeants heard this, they turned their heads to look carefully outside the city, and sure enough, they saw a bright yellow flag, on which was only embroidered with a big word in silver silk thread: Yan. Bright yellow is the color of the royal family, today, except for Liu Xie, only Yanwang Ao Lie can use this color, if other people dare to use it, they should be punished for the crime of bullying the king!

"Sure enough, the king is back, haluha, great, the king is back!"

In an instant, the enthusiasm of the sergeants on the western wall rose, and the cheers and joy of the return of the king drowned out everything. (To be continued......)

PS: PS: Dahan has not had a king with a different surname for hundreds of years, which is the memory of Da Kun, and does not represent history. Da Kun really only remembers that in the early Han Dynasty, Han Xin and others were named kings with different surnames, and since then I don't remember who has been named kings with different surnames, regardless of whether there is a king with a different surname or not, Da Kun still wrote Ao Lie as the first king with a different surname in hundreds of years, which can be regarded as a side means to foil the protagonist.
