Qiao Rui tried his best, in fact, his decision to attack Xiao Pei was not wrong, but he lacked some luck, or it could also be said that his luck was not in Yuan Shu.

But if Zhang He comes a few hours late, the fate of Xiao Pei, Zhang Liao and others will definitely be another result.

But now everything has come to naught, Zhang Liao and the others are unharmed, and the confident Qiao Rui fled in embarrassment, although the 20,000 army was wiped out, but it was also scattered, and there was not one out of ten.

Zhang He and Wei Xu led troops to chase and kill for a while, but because it was too late and the soldiers were tired after a day's journey, they ordered the troops to be withdrawn.

The Yuan army was defeated and fled, and the Yuan army camp was just used by Zhang He.

Although the fences and tents in the camp were damaged after a major battle, it was much easier to simply replace them than to build a new battalion.

And Qiaorui was defeated quickly, and the baggage in the camp was not taken away in the future, and now all of them were seized by Zhang He, and they were counted and received.

Zhang He ordered the soldiers to pack up the camp, and Wei Xu stepped forward to thank him and returned to the city.

It's not that Wei Xu didn't want to invite Zhang He to lead troops into Xiaopei to rest, but Xiaopei was too small to accommodate so many soldiers and horses.

And even if Wei Xu invited, Zhang He would not agree.

The camp was quickly cleaned up, and dinner had already been cooked, Zhang He simply ate and then sat in the tent and flipped through the bamboo slips, as for the matter of guarding the camp, he had his own management arrangements.

At this time, a guard stepped in and said respectfully: "General, Zhang Liao and the other two generals ask to see him." ”

Zhang He has been following Koji Yi for a long time and knows him very well, although it was not stated in the letter, Zhang He knew that Koji Yi valued Zhang Liao and others very much, and intended to accept them.

Therefore, when he heard Zhang Liao coming, he secretly said in his heart that it was just right, and then ordered: "Hurry up, please!" ”

"No!"

The guards were ordered to turn around and leave, and within a moment, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, and Wei Xu entered one after another under the leadership of the guards.

Zhang He saw the three of them hurriedly get up, and said with a hearty smile while bypassing the case: "I don't know that the three generals are coming, and they are not welcome, and they are lazy!" ”

After speaking, he gestured to the three of them one by one.

Seeing Zhang He so polite, Zhang Liao and the three of them were happy in their hearts, and they all hugged their fists in return, and then Zhang Liao said: "If the general hadn't arrived in time today, Xiaopei would have been lost, so I came to visit him late at night and thanked him in person, which is very presumptuous, I hope the general will not be blamed!" ”

Zhang Hekou said politely, so he invited the three of them to sit down, and then said: "At the beginning, my lord General Koji received Wen Hou's request for help, and immediately sent a three-way army to help Xiapi, not wanting Jizhou Yuan Shao to take the opportunity to send troops to Qingzhou, and the soldiers pointed directly at Le'an.

General Koji was worried that the emptiness of Qingzhou would be taken advantage of by Yuan Shao, so he delayed a little, and did not want to go down but lost at this time, and even Wen Hou was unfortunately killed, very sad!

Hearing this news, General Koji immediately disregarded the safety of Qingzhou, and on the one hand instructed He to lead troops to rescue Xiaopei and ensure the safety of the generals and Wen Hou's family, and on the other hand, he personally led the army straight to Xiapi, intending to defeat Yuan Shu and avenge Wen Hou.

Now that Qiao Rui has been defeated and fled, the danger of Xiao Pei has been solved, and when the army is repaired for a day, he will set off and go to Xiapi for reinforcements, which is bound to capture Yuan Shusheng and use his head to pay tribute to Lu Wenhou! ”

Zhang He's words are true and false, and his feelings are sincere.

Previously, after Yuan Shao received a letter from Yuan Shu to make an appointment to attack Liyi, he did transfer his troops and horses, but he did not attack Qingzhou.

The main reason is that Yuan Shao found out that Cheng Gongying and led the army to sit in Le'an, with strong soldiers and strong horses, and the defense was very dense, and because he had just fought with Gongsun Zhan, although he was forced to withdraw his troops, he was tired and lacked food, and he could not launch a large-scale war in a short time.

At the same time, Yuan Shao also discussed with the strategists, and they all believed that even if Yuan Shu could defeat Lu Bu, he would definitely not be an opponent of Koji Yi, and he would be defeated sooner or later.

However, Yuan Shao hated Lu Yi deeply and didn't want him to win easily, so he pretended to mobilize troops and horses to make a move, intending to confuse, and it could be regarded as indirectly supporting Yuan Shu, so as to win a fighter for him.

But what Yuan Shao didn't know was that he thought he had a plan, but he was in the heart of Kojiyi.

Originally, Lu Yi was still worried about what excuse he had to explain that he would not move, but now Yuan Shao sent it to the door, and it was precisely because of this that Zhang He's remarks just now.

When Zhang Liao and the three of them heard Zhang He's words and determination to avenge Lu Bu, they were all moved in their hearts, and even Gao Shun, who had always been happy and angry, showed gratitude and sighed in their hearts.

Zhang Liao, as a representative, replied: "General Gao Yi, this kindness, we will remember it in our hearts and be grateful!" ”

Zhang He bowed his hand in return, and then deliberately said: "You generals don't know, General Koji admires you very much and often praises you!"

Now Xiaopei's danger is solved, Qiaorui will flee back to Xiapi after the defeat of the army, so you can protect Wenhou's family to live in the city temporarily, and when the war in Xiapi is over, General Koji will be able to come to condole in person, and then make a decision! ”

Before Lu Butun's troops went down, it was Tao Qian who agreed to do it, and now Tao Qian and Lu Bu are dead, although Zhang Liao and others are Lu Bu's generals and family members, but if they want to continue to stay in Xiaopei, they need the consent of Lu Yi.

This point is not only understood by Zhang Liao and others, but also by Zhang He.

Zhang Liao nodded and thanked: "Thank you, General!" ”

A few people chatted again, and Zhang Liao and the three of them got up to say goodbye.

Zhang He personally sent the three of them outside the gate, and then said goodbye.

Seeing the figures of the three slowly disappear into the night, Zhang He smiled slightly and reflexively returned to the camp to rest.

The night passed, and the scouts sent out at night brought back the news that Yan Qiaorui and Liang Gang had gathered thousands of defeated soldiers along the road, and they did not stop, and fled directly in the direction of Xia Pi.

After listening to Zhang He's heart, he told the scouts to go down to rest, although Qiao Rui returned to Xiapi, but Zhang He did not leave in a hurry, but continued to rest in the camp.

Before, I was worried that Xiao Pei would lose, so I traveled for a day, and fought with Yuan Jun briefly at night, although the casualties were not large, but I needed to have a good rest.

Last night, a lot of grain and grass were found in the camp, because he had to hurry tomorrow and could not bring so many baggage with him, so Zhang He sent people into the city to meet Zhang Liao, and asked him to send people to transport grain and grass into the city for military use.

Zhang Liao did not object to this, and immediately sent a team of soldiers to transport grain.

There was nothing to say all night, and at dawn the next day, Zhang He ordered the army to set off from the village.

However, before the army could move, the gate of Xiaopei City was opened, and Zhang Liao and Gao Shun led Cao Xing, Hao Meng and more than 1,000 soldiers to come.

When Zhang He saw Zhang Liao and others coming, he thought that he had come to see him off, so he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, and said with a smile: "There are generals to send each other!" ”

Zhang Liao and a few people returned the salute, and then said: "We and Yuan Shu do not share the sky, after last night's discussion, we are willing to go to Xiapi with the general, help General Koji, and avenge Wenhou!" ”

Zhang He was overjoyed after hearing this, and hurriedly replied: "This is very good, but everyone goes, isn't Xiaopei dangerous?" ”

Zhang Liao replied: "General rest assured, we have left General Wei Xu to guard Xiaopei, just in case." ”

Only then did Zhang He discover Wei Xu's future, and immediately laughed and said: "With your help, Yuan Shu will be defeated!" ”
