Yuan Shang fled on the road to Bingzhou, and his subordinates Guo Tu, Feng Ji and others were covered with dirt and ashes, looking depressed and embarrassed, and they rode all the way and fled all night before resting in the mountains.

At this time, Yuan Shang leaned against the mountain wall, his face was full of confusion, anger lingered in his heart, his face was constantly trembling, and after a while, he suddenly smashed the mountain wall and shouted loudly.

"Bastard! Darn! ”

"Yuan Xi treacherous villain! My food is gone! Yuan Xi didn't care about the life or death of our army, and treated me as an enemy, and he was willing to watch the 200,000 soldiers and horses left behind by his father starve to death! This man is a heinous crime, and I won't let him go even if he becomes a ghost! ”

Yuan Shang scolded angrily, making Guo Tu look up at him helplessly, and lowered his head without saying anything.

In fact, my heart has fallen into despair.

You yourself didn't listen to me, and you led to this result, and it's no wonder that others are here.

The two cities captured by Yuan Xi themselves are not well prepared, and the city walls are short and easy to climb, and it is extremely convenient to climb them with ladders and rushing cars, so capturing the city can disturb the hearts of our army.

However, if you don't rush and stick to the main city, you will definitely not give Yuan Xi any chance to take advantage of it.

Yuan Xi's army is suitable for field battles rather than storms, and the damage will be very heavy when attacking the city, and if you hold it for three days, you can welcome grain and grass to the city, and then Yuan Xi will definitely be defeated.

The raiding forces he had planted in ambush in the rear had no chance to intercept the grain, let alone cut off our food routes.

It's a pity...... The square inch is in chaos, and the mind is confused before the battle, and there is no way to make the right decision.

Alas, after all, it is still a child's heart, and sure enough, as Yuan Xi said, he has been spoiled by the lord, the boy has not learned, and he has not followed the army to experience the war, and it is too late to learn again.

Guo Tu sighed silently, and was about to get up again, when he heard Feng Ji go forward and hug Yuan Shang and say: "Young master, although we have escaped from Yuan Xi's pursuit, we still haven't arrived in the territory of Bingzhou, this place is not suitable for a long time, we should leave immediately, I am afraid that the defeated soldiers and horses will no longer be able to recall them." ”

Yuan Shang's face was cold again, "Why?" Where are these soldiers and horses going with me, I still have 100,000 soldiers in the state, these people are my father's old department, do they all have to vote for Yuan Xi? ”

Feng Ji was a lot older, his face was full of wrinkles, his expression was depressed, and he lowered his head and sighed: "They were originally Jizhou soldiers, and they were afraid that they would go to Jizhou." ”

"Impossible! Our army has a great grudge with Xu Zhentian, how can it be possible to go to Jizhou! ”

"Absolutely impossible!"

As soon as Yuan Shang's words fell, there was a faint sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and when he looked down again, the stones and gravel on the ground were all beating weakly, and they gradually became fierce in an instant.

Everyone was stunned for a moment at the moment, and Guo Tu said blankly: "Yuan Xi is chasing after him?" ”

"It's impossible, he should still be placing the soldiers and horses of Daijun now."

"The cavalry from the south, it must be Xu Zhen who took advantage of the situation to chase and kill us!"

"Isn't that just Xu Zhen!" Yuan Shangwei screamed, "How did he know we were here!" How could he come so fast! It's only been a night, and the military report won't be so fast! ”

How did Xu Zhen know that the soldiers of Jizhou would have to be defeated and retreated, his soldiers and horses would have to reach the edge of the battlefield at least one day and one night when they came out of Jizhou, and if they got the news, it would take about two days.

Now, just one night has passed, and he has been found by Xu Zhen.

"Young master, there is no time to think about it now, we must leave this place immediately, otherwise we will be caught up by Xu Zhen!"

Guo Tu's face changed greatly, and now he also wanted to know how Xu Zhen could know so quickly that the state was defeated and he wanted to pass through here, but now he didn't have time to think deeply, just think that Xu Zhen could really deduce it, the current plan is to leave quickly!

"Let's go!"

Yuan Shang gritted his teeth and looked at the jumping stones on the ground, his pale face suddenly became a little more ruddy, but at this moment, he couldn't allow him to hesitate at all, and immediately went to run away after turning over his horse.

In less than half a pillar of incense, Xu Zhen's crossbow cavalry caught up with the remnants of the soldiers first, and released a round of crossbow arrows, so that the foot soldiers running behind were killed and wounded, destroying the army's heart in an instant, and the rest of the cavalry did not dare to fight, so they could only abandon the army and flee for their lives.

Within a few breaths, the elite crossbow cavalry rushed into the defeated and fleeing Bingzhou army, killing people on their backs and bleeding like rivers.

"Surrender!"

"We surrender, the general spares his life!!"

"General, we've been hungry for two days, and we can't get enough to eat! I don't want to go back to Jizhou, we are from Jizhou, please be gracious to the general and let us go back to Jizhou! ”

"General Kaien, please Xu Junhou Kaigen, save us!"

"My mother is blind and still waiting for me to come back at home! I'm not going back to the state! ”

"I beg the generals to take us back to Jizhou, and there is no complaint as a slave!"

For a while, these Jizhou sergeants couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately cried out, all put down their swords and surrendered, and some of the hungry and stranded people even fell to the ground with their strength unloaded, unable to fight again.

Seeing the corpses of his peers killed again, the thoughts in my heart are long gone, and now I just want to go back to my hometown, even if I am a farmer, I will no longer fight, and after following Yuan Shang to Bingzhou, I have not lived a good life at all, and I have always been under the fence and displaced.

The brothers went to quell the rebellion and worked hard, but in the end, not to mention the military salary and reward, they couldn't even eat enough food, so why did they follow the Yuan family?

It is said that Jizhou was hollowed out by the Yuan family, but now that Xu Zhen is the state pastor, he has made it possible for the people to eat.

The crossbow rider was personally led by Huang Zhong, and he led the army to the front, seeing these people begging for mercy, his heart was like iron, he stroked his beard with a cold face, and shouted angrily: "It should have been surrendered to the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty a long time ago!" But you helped Yuan rebel! Now if there is no food, I know that I will return to Toucheng! ”

"If you can't beat it, you pray for your life! How can there be such a good thing?! ”

"If you want to have enough to eat, then go to the siege for our army!"

"Will, I'll go and attack the city! The general's order, we are willing to obey! As long as you can eat a full meal! ”

"Good! Hahaha! Huang Zhong laughed loudly, "In this case, you will return to the camp with the soldiers and horses first, and after I come back, I will reorganize for you, and there will be a pension for the siege, and you will die twice!" Survive three copies!! ”

"Good, good!! Thank you, General! ”

"Thank you general, thank you general for your kindness, we are willing to drive for the general!"

The faces of these soldiers are full of joy, the current soldiers and horses in Jizhou are really benevolent and righteous, even if they are surrendered, but after they are attached, they are willing to die and attack the city, and they can still get a pension, even more than other soldiers and horses, and they can get three copies if they survive!

If you have no family, you can also entrust your friends with money, and you will always have care for you.

Huang Zhong's crossbow cavalry collected thousands of soldiers and horses, and the cavalry continued to chase, driving Yuan Shang to the territory of Youyang and passing through Yanmen County, but in fact, Zhuge Liang sent Zhao Yun to enter Changshan from Zhongshan Kingdom, and then from Changshan to Fuping, directly into Yanmen Youyang, and waited here early.

This road, Zhao Yun is very familiar, because when he was young, he was in this generation of rangers, and later went to Youzhou Baima from Changshan, he is quite familiar with the terrain of Jizhou and Youzhou, so he led the troops to walk very fast, and the crossbow rode at the same time, but he arrived outside Yanmen County earlier to wait.

It didn't even alarm the defenders of Yanmen, although after investigation, it was learned that the garrison of Yanmen was not much, only 2,000 people.

Youzhou, Bingzhou, and Jizhou have always been in a neighboring situation, the landforms are bordering, and many mountain roads can enter each other's territory, so it is too easy for Xu Zhen to catch up with them.

Zhao Yun's cavalry was waiting on the dirt slope, and immediately charged down after seeing Yuan Shang's army, and the army attacked people, breaking the army and breaking the army of Yuan Shang's army.

Then after killing a few back and forth, Yuan Shang had no chance to fight back at all.

Thousands of soldiers and horses were blocked, so that Yuan Shang could only flee with the remnants, fleeing to the main city of Yanmen, and hiding in the middle of the mountains and forests halfway.

Here, he and Guo Tu stopped by the stream, already terrified to the extreme, their faces were pale, and their hearts were restless.

Yuan Shang looked at himself in the water in fear, thinking of the scene of the white-robed cavalry rushing down the hillside, extremely fast and violent, as if the white waves were rushing, almost swallowing his army.

The general at the head is young and agile, the spear is indomitable, the martial arts are extremely high, and the silver armor and white robe of Yishui give people a ghostly shock.

This reminded him of the soldiers and horses that terrified foreigners in Youzhou back then.

"White horse, white horse...... That person is the old department of Youzhou Baima, and the old department of Gongsun Chan has come to us for revenge. ”

Yuan Shang muttered in his mouth that although he had not experienced the era of attacking the White Horse, he had heard many generals and elders tell him how arrogant he was when Ju Yi defeated the invincible White Horse Yicong at the Boundary Bridge.

It seems that there are no soldiers and horses in the world who can defeat their Jizhou army, but I didn't expect to encounter a more elite and powerful white-robed army today.

Although this battle was a battle of chase, it can be described as a tiger entering a flock of sheep, and when the white robe rushed out, the entire Bingzhou army was trembling.

"Where's Gao Ran!? Why hasn't Gao Ran come to the rescue yet! Don't you want to save me! Such a delay in military aircraft! Let my army suffer heavy losses! ”

"Young master!" Guo Tu shouted angrily, "Don't blame, we have been calculated, now is not the time for infighting, General Gao Ran is the only general who survived that year!" ”

"Don't be angry with the general, we don't have anyone to use now! Have a leader! ”

Guo Tu is numb, how could he support such a young master, he already knew that Yuan Xi was selected, and now he will not be defeated so far, at least Yuan Xi leads the army alone, and he has experienced great battles, not like the lord back then, but he also has the demeanor of a general!

At least he has a disciplined use of soldiers and can win battles!

"What now?! What should I do!? Yuan Xi is so vicious and vicious, burning my grain and grass, my money is about to be changed! The autumn harvest is still two months away! How will my army sustain until the autumn harvest! ”

"Without food, what will I eat!? Can you still drink honey water, and there will be minced meat for three meals! ”

Yuan Shang looked up to the sky and sighed, knowing that it was now the autumn of survival, but he was desperate to the extreme, almost half of the 200,000 soldiers and horses had been lost, and the inheritance left by his father, he spent so much but did nothing.

With such a glamorous background, among the many princes of the world, one step is far more than many people, some people have been displaced for half their lives, sending people everywhere, and the soldiers and horses in their hands have always been less than 10,000, but they can still support it, and they have raised many brothers to follow by their side.

Why don't I, Yuan Shang, have such good luck?!

"Young master, let's go back to the state first!"

Guo Tu sighed deeply, he felt that he was about to lose his lord's entrustment, before Yuan Shao died of illness, he entrusted Yuan Shang to him.

Guo Tu also promised to do his best to support Guo Tu's survival in troubled times, but now he can't catch it, and he doesn't know how to let Yuan Shang survive.

"Take a break and go!"

Yuan Shang immediately got up, slapped his face with water, and after being sober for a while, he turned over and got on the horse.

Guo Tu sighed at this moment, hugged his fists and said: "Young master, at this time, there are thousands of troops under our command, and there are countless chasing soldiers, I don't know when we will be caught up. ”

"Good, good! That being the case, then Mr. Hardship! When Yuan Shang heard this, he knew in his heart that it was the best choice to divide the troops and leave, and Guo Tu would definitely attract a large number of pursuers if he ran away on the avenue!

Then take the trail by yourself and continue to detour, although it is a little farther away, but it is definitely safer, and I agreed to come down without thinking about it for a while.

Guo Tu suddenly laughed, this smile seemed quite helpless and desperate, but it seemed to be a relief, in his opinion, if he died on the road, it would be regarded as living up to his trust, he had defeated many political enemies in his life, and he was also famous for a while, and dying in the war was also the best result.

Yuan Shang immediately ordered the division of troops and took a hundred guards to walk from the path, while Guo Tu took the avenue and led thousands of soldiers and horses to charge out and flee to the south.

But in the afternoon, when Yuan Shang came out of the trail in the mountains and forests and was about to go south to enter the main road of Yanmen, he still did not wait for the soldiers and horses who came to Gao Lan, but Xu Chu, who had been waiting outside for a long time.

"Yuan Shang, my military advisor knew that you would go this way, and I have been waiting for a long time!"

"The terrain of Yanmen, we have explored hundreds of times in three months, and we are so familiar that we can't be more familiar!"

Xu Chu immediately crossed the sword, led the army in front and glared ahead, his broad arms and chest, although they were flesh and blood, but they were like mountains, which made Yuan Shang's remnants extremely frightened, this pass, he was afraid that he would not be able to pass.

Only Feng Ji followed another army led by the two brothers Xin Ping and Xin Bi in the army, and went with Guo Tu to attract the pursuit.

At this moment, Yuan Shang's eyes trembled, his face was pale, and his expression was completely sluggish.

"Where is Gao Ran, why didn't Gao Ran come to save me!!"

Yuan Shang shouted angrily, the sound resounded throughout the valley, and he now understood that he would immediately turn around and run away, and he would not be able to escape.

Xu Chu said with a smile: "Dian Wei and Zhang Liao are blocking Gao Lan, they should be in the emerging war at this moment, is there any problem?" ”

"No problem, follow me back to Jizhou!"

In this battle, of course, Yuan Shang cannot be killed, after capturing Yuan Shang alive, he can give a slight order, or send it to Xudu, and wait for the prime minister to fall, after all, this is also the son of his deceased.

Yuan Shang's heart suddenly burst out, he knew that if he was captured next, the reputation of the Yuan clan would be completely ruined, and he would become the only person in the Yuan clan who was captured and humiliated.

It's better to kill yourself here.

But as soon as he had this thought, Yuan Shang was afraid again.

I'm only seventeen years old, how could I die here?!
