Chapter 644: Armageddon (7)
"Someone - drag Chun Yuqiong, a fool, out of the big tent and behead him for public display, and order the three armies to be beheaded again!"
"The lord spares his life - the lord surrounds my life!"
"Drag it out—"
Yuan Shao was angry now, ignoring Chun Yuqiong's roar, and the guards on the left and right saw Yuan Shao dragging Chun Yuqiong out like this, only to hear a miserable scream Chun Yuqiong's head fell to the ground. He served Yuan Shao for many years but died in the hands of Yuan Shao, and Chun Yuqiong also thought about leaving when the granary in Xihe County caught fire, but he felt that his friendship with Yuan Shao was at most a punishment for him. Where did I think that when I came to the Yuxian camp, I didn't have time to eat the severed head meal, so I was pulled out and clicked.
"How many days will there be enough food and grass in the army?" Chun Yuqiong's scream made the angry Yuan Shao sober up all of a sudden, such a fanfare punishment of Chun Yuqiong, presumably the news that the granary was burned with ashes has spread all over the camp, it is really a little Meng Lang, more than 400,000 mouths are waiting for food, marching and fighting as soldiers want to eat food, it seems that his military spirit will be weakened in a few days, alas - God will not bless him General Yuan!
"My lord - there is still enough for five days in the army, and if it is halved, it can be used for ten days, but the road from Jizhou to Bingzhou is far away, and it is difficult to raise military rations within ten days. The lord is wise and martial, and there will definitely be a good plan-" This time, Tian Feng was not treated by Yuan Shao, and stayed in Jizhou Mansion to think about it behind closed doors. Frustrated by the talent to govern the country to help control the overall situation in Jizhou, the rest of Xu You, Guo Tu, Xianbei, Feng Ji, Xin Bi and others accompanied as Yuan Shao's staff group, and the others were all watching the nose and nose, Guo Tu, the dog-headed military advisor, also wanted to take this opportunity to show his loyalty.
"Smack-" The answer to Guo Tu was the bamboo slip that smashed on his head, and he smashed this dog-headed military advisor at once.
"A group of wine bags and rice bags - usually all of them are full of wisdom, why are they all dumb now?" Yuan Shao knew in his heart that this situation was only the withdrawal of the army, the two generals under his command died on the battlefield of Bingzhou, and the thousands of generals under his command were left with Liyi and Gao Lan, Yuan Shao had a feeling of madness, why did he meet Zhou Yu like a nightmare, where there was Zhou Yu, his edge would be covered by him, and now he really needed a step to withdraw the army.
"The lord - Wei Chen dared to suggest that the lord withdraw the army, and there were three reasons for the withdrawal; First, our army is newly defeated, and its morale is low and it is not easy to fight; Second, grain and grass are burned, and the shortage of grain and grass will inevitably cause people's hearts to fluctuate; The third is that the lord has the world in mind, at this time Zhou Yu's army is in full swing, we should preserve our strength, and once the grain and grass are sufficient, we will come to compete with Zhou Yu. Weichen dared to ask the lord to withdraw the army, and he was not afraid of no firewood in the green mountains! Xu You's eyes rolled and he saw that Guo Tu was deflated, and immediately pretended to be a loyal minister, and when he spoke, he was righteous.
There is no way for Yuan Shao to have steps, arrange for the first army of Liyi to guard Yuxian County for three days, and drag on time for the army, so that they can withdraw in an orderly manner and repair the state, and the city wall of the state capital is high and deep, and after temporarily stationing in the state, Yushe and Yuci collude to form a triangular defense, Zhou Yu's army will be empty and weak if it wants to continue to go south, and Yuan Shao can quickly raise grain and grass through this gap, sacrificing one-third of the land of the state in exchange for his second counterattack on Zhou Yu, he can afford to fight a war of attrition with Zhou Yu, and wait until the autumn harvest is sufficient, and then it will be Zhou Yu's death.
The idea is very good - as soon as Yuan Shao's side is pulled, Zhou Yu's army has already begun to mobilize when he got the news of Yuan Shao's granary, and the strength of Zhengzhen's troops in Linyu County is only Zhou Tai's 50,000 army, and the rest of the men and horses Guo Jia have all been sent out, Zhao Yun's department, Wei Yan's department, Zhang Liao's department, and Taishici's department are all cavalry, and they are the best at pursuit battles.
Zhou Tai attacked Yuxian for five days, and Yuxian City Po Liyi led the remnants to retreat in the direction of Bingzhou; Yuan Shao's army was ambushed by Zhao Yunbu through Mashoupo, and after more than 20,000 people were killed, Yuan Shao led his troops to withdraw into Songta Town. Zhao Yunbu continued to pursue, Yuan Shao's army began to appear a large number of deserters, and when Yuan Shao's army of more than 400,000 was less than 200,000 by Pingtou, the villages and towns along the way were all destroyed by Yuan Shao.
Seeing that he was about to enter the boundary of the state capital, the Malay in front reported that the state capital had been lost and was occupied by Zhou Yu's subordinate Dian Wei. The remnants of the Bingzhou capital converged with Yuan Shao to bypass Bingzhou and began to retreat in the direction of Taigu. Wei Yanbu led 50,000 troops to set up an ambush with Jingshengou, killed dozens of generals under Yuan Shao, annihilated Yuan Shao's army of 30,000 and captured 30,000. Yuan Shao escaped from the ambush circle in a desperate battle with his soldiers, and he didn't stop along the way, which can be said to be a rumor.
"Newspaper—"
Yuan Shao, who was drinking water, trembled his hands, the tea bowl fell to the ground with a clatter, and shattered into several pieces, the most unpleasant thing he could hear now was the battle report, and the Wenchen generals who fled along the way were miserable, and his 500,000 army was now more than 100,000, and there were many who escaped, died in battle, and were captured on the way.
"What's the matter? But the pursuers killed—"
"Report - the lord, Jieshan Ling brought the people to send grain and grass, first to meet the lord! The horse is still fifty miles away, and for the time being, the lord can rest and rest first. ”
It's not a chasing army, as long as it crosses the lion's mouth in Mianshan, it is not far from Jizhou, Jizhou has sent soldiers and horses to respond, as long as the two armies converge and change, they can still fight with Zhou Yu's pursuers. There were also loyal ministers under Yuan Shao's rule, and Jieshan Ling Li Gu was one of the protégés of the Yuan family, Yuan Shao occupied the state, and he became a county magistrate by virtue of the identity of the protégé of the Yuan family. Finally, this opportunity to show his loyalty in front of Yuan Shao, and when he heard that Yuan Shao's army was defeated here, he hurriedly gathered people to rush to the labor army.
Yuan Shao finally had a comfortable meal, and Yuan Shao picked his teeth and said: "Li Gu - you are loyal and brave, and you have been promoted to the county guard of Pingyang, how many people did you bring this time?" ”
"Thank you Lord Gong Longen - there are only 2,000 people in the county seat, and it is really an honor to be able to serve the Lord and serve the dogs and horses." Li Gu didn't expect that his sycophants were really filmed on the ground, and he suddenly became the county guard of Pingyang County, and he suddenly didn't know how to smear Yuan Shao's liver and brain.
"Report - there are chasing soldiers to kill!"
Just when Yuan Shao was about to speak, Zhang Liao and the men and horses had already arrived, and a group of people and horses rolled up smoke and dust, and Yuan Shao almost choked on the meal he had just eaten, and he ordered Li Gu to take two thousand men and horses and five thousand men and horses on his side, and after he broke off, he turned around and fled in the direction of the lion's mouth.
It is also Yuan Shao's destiny, Li Gu in order to show loyalty to Yuan Shao with 7,000 men and horses to snipe Zhang Liao, although their combat effectiveness is not strong, but also for Yuan Shao to win an hour, Yuan Shao's remnants smoothly passed the lion's mouth, and when Zhang Liao's pursuers chased, the lion's mouth was fired with thousands of arrows, Zhang Liao's cavalry could not pass for a short time, Yuan Shao escaped from then on.
