When he saw Ji Ling again, Yuan Shu's heart was broken. Looking at Ji Ling, who was extremely weak in front of him, Yuan Shu almost couldn't believe it. The posture of Ji Ling in front of him is definitely a manifestation of resurrection after death, and this phenomenon is not the first time Yuan Shu has seen this phenomenon.

"Your Majesty, the minister has a debt of responsibility, a capital crime. Jiangdong thieves designed an ambush for the ministers, etc., and the army was completely ......" Seeing Yuan Shu, Ji Ling immediately fell to the ground and pleaded guilty.

"Ji Qing's family, let's talk about it, what's going on?" To be honest, seeing Ji Ling's state, Yuan Shu wanted to be angry, but he knew what it meant, so he could only endure it.

Ji Ling briefly explained what had happened, and then continued: "Your Majesty, the Jiangdong Army is secretly plotting to destroy our army, and its intention must be more than that, Hefei is now short of troops and is no longer safe, please return to Pengcheng immediately." ”

"Hmph, in this way, doesn't it mean that I lost to Liu Feng'er?" Yuan Shu was unwilling. wanted to angrily reprimand Ji Ling for his incompetence, but he also knew that Ji Ling was his first-class general, and he had to rely on Ji Ling next, so he could only change his target.

"Your Majesty, this time is different from the past, Jiangdong Liu Feng can only play some small conspiracy, in fact, it cannot be compared with Your Majesty. As long as His Majesty is unharmed, he will recuperate for a period of time, and when his strength recovers, it will not be too late to fight Jiangdong again. The subordinates are willing to stay in Hefei to ensure the safety of His Majesty's back road. Ji Ling admonished.

"Why did the Ji Qing family say this, I can't leave the Qing family for a moment." Yuan Shu's words are half-true and half-true, it is true to rely on Ji Ling, but it is not to this point, it is really that Ji Ling has just been resurrected and is in weakness, even if he stays, he will not be able to guard Hefei as a guard.

Before Ji Ling came to see Yuan Shu, he had already sent someone to the camp outside the city to give an order, uproot the camp outside the city, and withdraw to the city. When Yuan Shu gave the order to retreat, he quickly organized a group of troops to escort Yuan Shu back to Pengcheng.

As the Taishou of Jiujiang, Chen Ji was naturally left by Yuan Shu to defend the city.

This made the old general very angry, it was okay if he was taken away by Ji Ling before, after all, he had no progress against Jiangdong, and he was always at a disadvantage. Later, he went out of the city to pursue so many generals and left him behind, and now he is glad to be happy, but two days ago, who could have predicted all this, the generals who were chasing at the beginning were all rushing to pick up meritorious deeds. Now when it was time to defend the city, he was pushed up again.

But are there still soldiers defending the city in Hefei?

So many have been lost in the previous wars; Ji Ling took so many people away, and the ones who came back were negligible; Escorting Yuan Shuhui Pengcheng left the most elite group of soldiers, and there were only 300,000 people left in Hefei City.

It seems like a lot, but you must know that Hefei is a big city. Moreover, among these 300,000 people, most of them are ordinary soldiers, and there are quite a few recruits, and there are not many elites at all. Moreover, these people are still in the panic of the Son of Heaven fleeing, and it is not yet known how much combat power they can exert.

But Chen Ji couldn't refuse, not to mention that he had been a former official of the Yuan family for many years, even if he obeyed orders, he couldn't refuse. He was dissatisfied, but not to the point of betraying Yuan Shu, not to mention that his family had also been moved to Pengcheng.

Inspired the great array of city protection, Chen Ji decided to defend Hefei.

……

A day later, the Jiangdong army came to the city again, and this time Liu Fengmo didn't think too much about it, and directly chose to attack the city.

In fact, the actual soldiers and horses of the Jiangdong Army were not more than Ji Ling's army, although the ambush was very successful, which caused panic in the Yuan army at the first time, causing the Yuan army to collapse, but in the end, Ji Ling's desperate breakthrough and grabbing the scattered deserters also took a short time. Not to mention anything else, after all, the quantity is there.

The battle is over, but it does not mean that it is over, the cleaning of the battlefield has been dealt with by the prisoners, and they are still waiting for Liu Feng to solve it. But Liu Feng did not forget the purpose of the war with Yuan Shu this time, and hurriedly rested for the night, leaving a group of men to guard the prisoners and continue to clean up the battlefield, and the army forced Hefei again.

Two days later, under the non-stop attack around the clock, Hefei's protective array was breached, and less than a day later, the Jiangdong Army broke through the defenders of Hefei City. Needless to say, Chen Ji died in the city. Of course, this is not his final belonging, Hefei fell, and he can still be resurrected in Pengcheng.

The arrival of Hefei means that the entire southern part of Jiujiang has fallen into Liu Feng's hands. But Liu Feng had no intention of stopping at all, but immediately divided an army of 500,000, including 200,000 cavalry, to pursue Yuan Shu.

Although Yuan Shu left a few days early, he kept heading east to enter Xuzhou as soon as possible. But to the northeast, the nearest county seat is Lu Su's hometown, Xiapi East City, there are only small cities along the way, and the local defenders are naturally not in the eyes of the Jiangdong elite.

As the Son of Heaven, even if Yuan Shu is forced to leave, he must maintain the face of the Son of Heaven and not show embarrassment. So for a few days, I didn't go too far, and even during this period, I also made supplies in a small town and washed the dust.

So soon, the Jiangdong Army, which traveled day and night, was only one day away from Yuan Shu's "Luan Drive". At this time, Yuan Shu finally panicked, he expected Hefei to fall, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.

As the Son of Heaven, Yuan Shu took away the most elite group of soldiers in Hefei City when he left, plus the guards who never left him, the number was as high as 300,000. It is said that with such a large number of people, it is completely possible to fight the Jiangdong Army, which is already tired of soldiers day and night. But Yuan Shu didn't, several years of career as the Son of Heaven, pampered and pampered, has made Yuan Shu lose his sharpness, and he is no longer the Zhonglang general who dared to lead troops to wash the palace in blood.

After leaving 100,000 people for Liang Gang to break, Yuan Shu and the rest of the people accelerated the evacuation.

But it's useless, compared to the 500,000 army, including 200,000 cavalry, 100,000 is still too little. Moreover, Liang Gang could not defend the city, otherwise the Jiangdong army would go directly around the city - the same is true of the cities and towns he met before.

Therefore, despite Liang Gang's hard fighting, he only lasted for half a day before the entire army was annihilated, and the result was only the loss of nearly 20,000 people of the Jiangdong Army.

"Li Feng, I will give you 100,000 troops, including 10,000 of my personal guards, and you must stop the Jiangdong Army for a day." Faced with a crisis, Yuan Shu once again rejected Ji Ling's suggestion to defend the city and call in reinforcements - he would not put himself in danger, but let Li Feng break off again.

"The messenger who summoned the escort has already set off, as long as he enters the boundary of Xuzhou, it will be safe, and there are still two days to go, speed up, and he will definitely be able to enter Dongcheng County before the Jiangdong Army. Damn Jiangdong thief, after I regain my strength, I will definitely exterminate all of you......" This is Yuan Shu's thoughts.

Li Feng only supported one hour more than Liang Gang, and the Jiangdong army, under the leadership of Bai Jian, caught up again, and there was still half a day's journey before Yuan Shu. However, Yuan Shu is still one day away from the east city of Xuzhou.

Bai Jian naturally will not kill Yuan Shu, but just to teach Yuan Shu a profound lesson, and at the same time, to consume the veterans and elites around Yuan Shu to the greatest extent.

When Bai Jian was about to catch up, Yuan Shu finally stopped fantasizing, and the half-day trip became a distance like the end of the world, and he could only find a small city to settle down.

However, just when Bai Jian wanted to attack this small city, he suddenly killed an army, an army of more than 100,000 people, more than the existing people around Yuan Shu.

If there was time, Bai Jian would naturally be able to break through the small city garrisoned by this demoralized army, but this place was too close to Xuzhou, and although the Jiangdong army had captured Hefei, the surrounding area was still under the control of Yuan Shu, and it was already deep into the hinterland of the enemy army.

The overall situation has been decided, and the goal has been achieved, Bai Jian is unwilling to take risks, so he can only evacuate.

After the Jiangdong army left, Yuan Shu breathed a sigh of relief, and another day later, the army from Xuzhou arrived, and Yuan Shu arrived in Pengcheng under the escort of the army.

After this battle, although Yuan Shu was angry in his heart, he did not have any excitement, and from then on he became even more decadent, and he also had a sense of fear for Jiangdong. That's for later.
