Chapter 864: Xun Yu is defeated
Xun You suppressed the shock in his heart and asked, "Which army is the army in the rear?"
The soldier shook his head and replied: "I don't know, the villain only saw the word 'Taishi' on the other party's banner..Fastest update access: щщщ.79XS.сОΜ . ”
'Taishi'?
Xun You thought for a moment and said in surprise: "Tai Shi Ci!"
As Cao Cao's confidant and strategist, Xun Yu knew the situation of Liu Xiu's various armies, and also knew the main generals under Liu Xiu's command.
The military flag is 'Taishi', only Taishici.
As the chief general of Liu Xiu's Fourth Army, it stands to reason that Tai Shici, who should have been stationed in Jiangxia County in Jingzhou, suddenly arrived in Yingchuan County? Moreover, from Yingchuan County to Jiangxia County, there is also Runan County in Yuzhou in the middle, and the road is far away.
Xun You thought about it and felt that there were countless questions coming to him, which made him extremely irritable. Xun You couldn't figure out how he could suddenly encounter such a situation, it was a mess.
Xun You was experienced, knew that the situation was not good, and no longer fell in love with the war, and ordered: "Order, retreat!"
At this time, Xun Yu decisively gave the order to retreat.
If he doesn't retreat, he will fall into it and it will be difficult to 'withdraw' out.
Although Xun You knew that as soon as he retreated with his soldiers, Zhang Liao on the front line would become a real lone army, but Xun You had to retreat. If Xun You didn't retreat, in the case that the rear camp was breached, Zhang Ren and Tai Shici would be flanked back and forth, and he would not be able to escape at all.
At that time, not only Zhang Liao will be unable to support it alone, but the Wei ** team under his command will also be destroyed.
While Xun You retreated with the soldiers, he ordered the colonel around him, asking the colonel to lead a group of soldiers to break through in the direction of Wanxian, inform Zhang Liao of the news, and let Zhang Liao lead the troops to retreat to avoid being attacked by Tai Shici, Zhang Ren and Zhao Yun. As long as the soldiers sent by Xun You arrived in Wanxian County first, Zhang Liao would have a chance to withdraw.
After Xun You ordered a retreat, the defensive line of the Wei soldiers collapsed on all fronts.
Zhang Ren seized the opportunity and took advantage of the situation to cover up.
This pursuit is violent.
The pursuing Chu soldiers did not know the real reason for the retreat of the Wei soldiers, and they all thought that they had fought bravely and frightened the Wei soldiers.
For a while, the morale was like a rainbow.
All the soldiers, armed with weapons, screamed and killed.
Zhang Ren was in command, and when he saw the soldiers covering up and killing the retreating Xun You, he also followed with the army. However, Zhang Ren was not in a hurry to chase, he led his soldiers to sweep the tail behind, capturing the Wei soldiers who fell behind.
There is Tai Shici to cut off Xun You's retreat, and Zhang Ren is not in a hurry.
When Xun You retreated, this retreating Wei soldier soon met with the Fourth Army under Tai Shici.
As soon as the two sides came into contact, the Wei soldiers were routed on all fronts.
The soldiers of the Wei State, who had no morale, could not stop the soldiers under Tai Shici's command.
Tai Shici's eyes swept over and saw the banner of the Wei ** team.
The banner is here, the coach is there.
Now the banner of the Wei ** battalion is still there, which is the belief that supports the soldiers of the Wei State.
When Tai Shi Ci led the army to cover up the killing, while fighting, he ordered loudly: "Those who surrender will not be killed!"
"Those who descend will not be killed!"
"Those who descend will not be killed!"
One by one, the soldiers of the Fourth Army shouted loudly.
The sound echoed and reached the ears of the Wei soldiers.
Today's Wei soldiers, although the banner is still there, although Xun Yu is still there, but without a general like Zhang Liao, after the army is defeated, the army's heart is scattered and chaotic, and it is difficult to cohesion. Even though many Wei soldiers fled with Xun You, a large number of soldiers could not support it and knelt on the ground and surrendered.
With the first soldier who surrendered, there was followed by the second. The momentum of surrender, like a plague, quickly spread among the Wei soldiers.
A large number of Wei soldiers surrendered on their knees.
Only a small number of Wei soldiers continued to retreat with Xun You.
Tai Shici's gaze fell on the place where the banner of the Wei State was, and a sneer was on the corner of his mouth. Xun You is still thinking about escaping, but it is too late. He made a special trip to ambush in the rear of Xun You's camp, if Xun You escaped, where would he put his face.
"Chase, you can't let the Wei soldiers escape. ”
Tai Shi Ci ordered to chase and chase in the direction where Xun You was.
Xun Yu ran away quickly, nervous.
He had already been taken prisoner once, and if he was caught again, it would be a second capture. Before he returned to Cao's 'Cao', it was because of Sun Quan that Liu Xiu had to release him.
So far, Cao and Liu have started an all-out war, and the fight is in full swing. Once Xun You was captured by the Chu State, it was impossible for him to be put back.
"Retreat, retreat!"
Xun You shouted, and rode his horse back quickly.
The surrounding soldiers covered Xun You's retreat.
"Da! Da!!"
When Xun You retreated, on the official road ahead, there was a deafening sound of horses' hooves. With the sound of horses' hooves, not long after, a surging cavalry appeared on the official road.
The banner accompanying this cavalry has the word 'Chu' in a big fight.
At first glance, it was the cavalry of the Chu State.
When Xun You saw this scene, he secretly said in his heart: It's over.
Tai Shi Ci ambushed the cavalry on his retreat path, which was enough to easily disperse his soldiers in the current situation.
"Military division, there are cavalry of the Chu State ahead, what should we do?"
The accompanying little colonel, with a panicked look in his eyes, opened his mouth to ask.
There were cavalry in front and pursuers in the rear. In such a situation, they could not escape, especially the cavalry of Chu to cover up.
If you want to escape, it is absolutely impossible.
"Let's go!"
Xun You was helpless, at this point, he had no choice but to surrender.
As Xun You's order was issued, the surrounding Wei soldiers no longer resisted, no longer fled, and knelt down and surrendered. Everyone knelt down, but Xun You was still straddling the horse, standing still.
Xun You asked the soldiers and generals under his command to surrender, because he was reluctant to let these soldiers and generals die tragically. But as Cao Cao's confidant and adviser, and as the minister of Wei, he could not surrender.
A soldier can surrender, but he can't.
Otherwise, I'm sorry for Cao's '' kindness.
The slaughtered cavalry of the Chu State and Tai Shi Ci converged and quickly brought the situation under control.
Tai Shi Ci saw Xun You, rode his horse to Xun You, and said with a smile: "Xun Junshi, Tai Shi Ci is polite." ”
Xun You said: "General Taishi lurked in the rear unconsciously, amazing!" He saw that one by one Wei soldiers were arrested, and Xun You's heart was dripping blood. But he tried to keep himself calm so as not to be looked down upon by Tai Shici.
Tai Shi Ci smiled and said, "Xun Junshi praised it falsely. ”
He ordered the soldiers to take Xun You, did not talk to Xun You more, and did not plan to recruit Xun You for Liu Xiu. As long as the soldiers keep an eye on Xun You, don't let Xun You have an accident.
Tai Shici ordered the soldiers to clean up the battlefield, and then waited for Zhang Ren and Wei Yan to arrive in the same place.
It didn't take long for Zhang Ren to lead the army.
The two armies converged.
Zhang Ren's expression was 'excited', and he hugged his fists and said: "General Taishi, thank you this time." If it weren't for your sudden attack from Xun You's rear, we wouldn't have been able to take Xun You in this battle. ”
Tai Shici smiled slightly and said, "General Zhang is polite. ”
The two exchanged politeness, and then returned to the place where the Wei ** team camped and settled.
In the Wei ** camp, there is still a lot of grain.
With this batch of grain, in a short period of time, the soldiers under Zhang Ren did not lack food.
After the battlefield was counted, all the prisoners were controlled, and Xun You was held in solitary confinement.
The Great Tent of the Chinese Army.
Zhang Ren, Tai Shici, Wei Yan, Zhang Song, Ma Jian and others were all present.
Zhang Ren looked at Tai Shi Ci and asked: "General Tai Shi, Xun Yu was captured, the army under his command was defeated, and we captured more than 16,000 Wei soldiers. What is General Taishi going to do next?"
Tai Shi Ci smiled slightly, and said unhurriedly: "Xun You's army is defeated, and the war in Yingchuan County is over. Next, Ben is going to go back to Yuzhou and take the entire territory of Yuzhou. Before, because Xun You was in Yingchuan County, there were some places in Yuzhou that could not be touched, otherwise the news of the attack on Yuzhou would be leaked. Now that Yingchuan County has been captured, Xun You has also been captured, and he could have captured the entire Yuzhou. ”
Zhang Ren asked again, "When will the general leave?"
Tai Shici replied: "Rest for a day, and early tomorrow morning, set off to return to Yuzhou." ”
Zhang Ren didn't ask anymore.
Obviously, Tai Shici did not plan to mix up the subsequent war.
