The two princes left one after another, and everyone in the coalition army suddenly fell silent, one by one speechless, and the fighting spirit quickly faded.

Lu Bu sat back on the main seat with a snort, and said angrily: "The wind and clouds are too difficult, and Sun Ce'er is even more hateful, after Jizhou is pacified, I will definitely send troops to Jiangdong and take Sun Ce's head!" ”

His words caused Cao Cao to sneer, and he secretly said in his heart: "If you want to attack Jiangdong, aren't you afraid that Liu Biao will stab you in the back?" I'm afraid I'll die when the time comes, and I don't know how to die! ”

Lu Bu was undecided, still angry, and suddenly someone outside the camp came to report, saying that Gao Shun had returned!

Lu Bu was shocked when he heard this, and at this time, he saw Gao Shun wearing a broken armor, his hands and feet were burned by Yan Zhan, and he walked in slowly and with difficulty.

"You still have the face to come back?" Lu Bu snorted coldly, don't turn his face, in fact, he is already very restrained, if he returns from defeat to someone else, I am afraid that he will be pushed out and killed immediately!

Gao Shun sighed lightly, knelt on the ground, told the story of this trip, and then kowtowed: "This time it is the last general's carelessness, so there is this defeat, let the lord fall!" ”

Lu Bu was dumbfounded when he heard this, Cao Cao was even more gloomy to the extreme, Gao Shun's defeat did not hit him hard, and even he was complacent for a while, because there were only a few of his men and horses in the elite of the coalition army that were lost, and the rest of the princes, including Lu Bu, were greatly damaged, which invisibly gave him a little advantage, but now he had to be frightened, this was not because of the strong combat effectiveness of the Jizhou army, but because of its courage to see death as if it were home and madness regardless of a qiē, he was asking himself, If I experienced the same thing as Gao Shun, what choice would I make?

The answer he got made him very frustrated, because he found that he was probably not much better than Gao Shun, and he could not escape the defeat!

The princes were extremely speechless for a while, Cao Cao came out of the crowd, clasped his fists and said to Lu Bu: "This is not a crime of war, I hope the general will be considerate and let General Gao Shun make meritorious contributions!" ”

Lu Bu is brutal by nature, but he is very good to his own people, very tolerant, Gao Shun is his henchman, he has long wanted to find a step down, so he snorted very simply: "Originally, you should be punished, but this time the situation is special, I remember that you have meritorious combat skills, so I will not punish too much, go back and heal your injuries, and make meritorious contributions!" ”

"Thank you, lord!" Gao Shun stood up, gave a deep salute, and turned out, the injuries on his body were serious, especially the part burned by the flames, if not dealt with in time, the consequences would be unpredictable, and there could be no delay at all.

Gao Shun left, but some of the princes had their eyes flashing, and there were more or less of their men and horses in that elite army, but now they were all killed, and Lu Bu handled it so lightly, it was really unconvincing.

I thought so in my heart, but they dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, Lu Bu's power was too great now, and people had to bow their heads under the eaves, so someone said: "The surprise attack will not succeed, the wind and clouds will definitely be on guard, it seems that it is difficult for us to break through!" ”

The implication is to persuade Lu Bu to withdraw from the army.

Cao Cao snorted coldly and said, "That's not necessarily!" Although the storm is chaotic and prepared, but its lack of troops is a hard wound, we can launch an attack from many sides, he will lose one and the other, and he will definitely be defeated! ”

Yuan Shao had a deep hatred with him, and sneered when he heard this: "If the wind and clouds are chaotic and the army is deployed on the cliff to defend it, and our army dares to slide down, won't it fall into his arms?" The soldiers who have just slipped down have an unstable center of gravity and no combat power, and they will inevitably be defeated by a single blow! ”

Cao Cao glanced at him and said, "We can arrange archers in high places, shoot condescendingly, even if he is in turmoil, he will not dare to approach, and when he gathers a certain number, he will no longer be afraid of him!" When Brother Ben said this, could it be that he was scared of the storm? ”

"What did you say!" Yuan Shao was furious, his eyes were like wanting to breathe fire, although he was defeated, he was so humiliated by Cao Cao in front of the public, and he was still resentful.

"That's it!"

Just when the two of them were tense, Lu Bu suddenly waved his hand: "I have made up my mind, I will act according to Brother Meng De's law, and I will definitely attack Jizhou in one go!" ”

If we don't break through Jizhou, I'm afraid the coalition forces will disperse!

Immediately, everyone got busy, dispatched troops and horses, and prepared to assault the legion, intending to launch a thunderous blow.

At the same time, the Jizhou army was also in full swing of preparations, Zhang Fan did not know what happened in the coalition army, and he would not know the news of Sun Jian's death.

Originally, it was not a problem to occupy a geographical advantage and hold a valley pass, but Guo Yuan's death sounded the alarm for him, and he immediately sent people to inspect the surroundings and found the cliffs used by the elite of the coalition army, and he couldn't help but be shocked, if it continues to develop like this, the Taihang Mountains will never be defended!

He immediately convened the meeting and planned the next step.

Zhang Liao sighed: "You can't stay here for a long time, when you lead the people back to the town to hold on, then you have a chance to fight!" ”

Wen Scandal Yan was suddenly unhappy, he saw the tragic situation of Guo Yuan's army, and hurriedly said: "Do you want to give up like this?" If we let the coalition army enter Jizhou, how many cities can we hold with our troops? Wouldn't Jizhou be devastated? ”

Zhang Liao was helpless: "Having said that, what can be done?" You can only take one step at a time! ”

Since the natural danger is useless, it is easy for people to take advantage of it if you continue to stay, and there will definitely be losses if you retreat, but it is already the lesser of a hundred disadvantages, so what can you do?

Zhang Fan sighed and looked at Jia Xu: "I don't know what Mr. Wenhe thinks?" ”

Jia Xu's eyes flickered slightly, and he said: "As General Wen Yuan said, this place is no longer defended, we should return to the town to defend it, and the walls are clear!" ”

"Clear the wall!" Zhang Fan was shocked: "Now is the harvest time, there is a lot of grain outside the city, if this is the case, won't it make the people feel cold?" They planted it with their own hands! ”

"The lord can't care about temporary gains and losses!"

Jia Xu said: "The coalition army is far away, the supply line is very long, if you enter Jizhou, you will not get enough food and grass supply, we can only implement the policy of clearing the wilderness, in order to have the greatest suppression, as long as we hold for a while, when its grain and grass are exhausted, its army retreats, it can be regarded as reducing casualties!" ”

This is reasonable, but Zhang Fan is a little hesitant, the so-called strong wall is to burn the grain in the field, the enemy army can not be supplied, naturally morale is low, the siege is weak, but in this way, the grain that is just about to mature will be scrapped, Jizhou is rich, although it will not collapse, but it also has a great impact, and I have to think carefully.

Everyone's eyes turned to Zhang Fan, waiting for his decision, and at this time, a bright light suddenly appeared in Zhang Fan's eyes, with a crazy color!
