Yuan Shao is really embarrassed now.

He was also a talented person in front of everyone, shouting loudly the loud slogan of fighting Liu Jian to the death.

But now, after Jiang Qin pulled him to the back of the horse and escaped with him from such a long distance, Yuan Shao's heart gradually regained his calm, and his emotions and anger began to ease.

At this moment, he didn't have so many emotions in his heart that he wanted to fight with the other party, but he was a little more frightened and cowardly.

Yuan Shao knew very well how precious his head was in the eyes of the generals in Hebei.

Shicai, the Hebei general Gongsun Fang, who was killed in the fight with Jiang Qin, is not a living example?

Although he died under Jiang Qin's spear because of his carelessness, the other party's desire to seize his head had been seen by Yuan Shao.

I'm afraid that most of the current Hebei generals have the same idea as him.

The courage and courage that people have stimulated for a moment will be slowly dissipated as time drags on.

The current Yuan Shao is in such a state.

At this moment, the people chasing him behind him are the generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou of Hebei.

Although Yuan Shao had not seen these two people on the battlefield before, he also knew something about the reputation of these two people.

I heard that these two people are warriors who are not inferior to Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun in terms of their talents, and they have won Liu Jian's respect and trust, and they can be described as famous generals in Hebei.

At this moment, these two people were chasing Yuan Shao from behind, although Yuan Shao did not directly meet the two of them, but the shouts from behind really made Yuan Shao's heart tremble.

The physical aspect is not devastated, but the mental pressure is really very great.

On the way to run, Yuan Shao turned his head and looked behind.

Now the sky has not completely darkened, and with the light of the fire in the camp, Yuan Shao can vaguely see the other party's appearance.

I saw that the two fierce generals who were chasing after him were both dressed in thick armor, they were tall, with huge physiques and beards.

Separated from such a distance, Yuan Shao felt that they were all like black bears that jumped out of the mountains and forests.

In the words of later generations, it is the kind of person who is very long in prison, and at first glance you know that he is not a good person.

Seeing these two people chasing after him frantically, Yuan Shao was so frightened that he was sweating, and he hurriedly turned his head and urged Jiang Qin to say:

"Quick! Faster! Faster! ”

At this moment, Jiang Qin has used ten percent of his strength to fight the horse desperately, to be honest, he really wants to make his speed faster, and it is best to fly over directly.

But people's physical strength is limited, and Jiang Qin is really powerless now.

Fortunately, they have now arrived in Dongzhai, which is mainly run by Cai Mao!

There is a heavy army led by Cai Mao here, even if Yan Liang and Wen Chou's people come over, as long as Cai Mao's troops are there, the two of them will not be able to attack.

"Dejue, Dejue, help me quickly!"

Yuan Shao couldn't care about his dignity at the moment, and as soon as he saw Dongzhai, he hurriedly let go of his throat and shouted Cai Mao vigorously.

I don't know if Yuan Shao's shouting played a role, and someone from Dongzhai soon began to answer.

Cai Mao's two younger brothers, Cai Xun and Cai He, rushed out with the elite Jingzhou army and engaged the armies of Yan Liang and Wen Chou, blocking the way of the two of them.

Cai's army appeared, although it could not defeat Yan Liang and Wen Chou, but with so many soldiers and horses, it was impossible for Yan Liang and Wen Chou to take the lives of Yuan Shao and Jiang Qin.

Although the morale of the Jingzhou army is not as good as that of the Hebei army, the Jingzhou army led by the Cai family is the best in the Jingzhou army and has considerable combat power.

In the face of Yan Liang and Wen Chou's offensive, Cai Xun and Cai He desperately blocked them and prevented them from being able to catch up with Yuan Shao.

Seeing Yuan Shao go farther and farther, Yan Liang and Wen Chou also knew that there was no chance to win Yuan Shao this time.

However, these two fierce generals were not discouraged, and they changed their targets to someone else.

That is Cai Xun and Cai He.

If you can't take Yuan Shao, it's okay to take down these two people, it's also a great military achievement!

Yan Liang and Wen Chou are not pure reckless men now, they have been by Liu Jian's side for several years, and both of them have experienced large and small battles, and they often communicate with the generals in military matters on weekdays.

Liu Jian attaches great importance to the communication between his subordinates, and he hopes that these generals under him, and even the county guards and county magistrates in local governance, will not rest on their laurels, and must make progress at any time according to the current situation.

He regularly organizes exchange meetings so that many generals and local officials can exchange experiences with each other, learn from each other, learn from each other's strengths, and improve their abilities.

Learning is a very important skill, both in ancient and modern times.

A person's innate abilities are limited. It is only through learning that people's abilities and levels can be infinitely improved.

And Yan Liang and Wen Chou's military experience is also growing as a result.

The two of them now also know how to control the situation on the battlefield, and they are not blindly dealing with each other.

After Yan Liang and Wen Chou fought with each other for a while, they chose not to continue to stay in Dongzhai and forcibly attack, but to transfer their troops and retreat to the rear.

Cai Xun and Cai He are also red-eyed now.

Tonight, the Hebei army suddenly stormed Yuan Shao's Dazhai, giving them a lot of pressure on the Chinese generals in Jingzhou.

Since the start of the battle, Cai Xun and Cai He have been commanding the soldiers to attack desperately, and they are now very tired physically and mentally exhausted.

Fighting against Yan Liang and Wen Chou, Cai Xun and Cai He are already ready to fight a tough battle with them and fight a battle with great sacrifices.

All of a sudden, the two men retreated with their troops.

It seems that they don't plan to continue to fight their own side here.

This gave Cai Xun and Cai He an illusion...... Could it be that our soldiers were too fierce that Yan Liang and Wen Chou did not dare to fight to the death with us, but wanted to transfer to other battlefields in the camp to earn merits?

The continuous battles all the time, as well as the sudden changes, made Cai Xun and Cai He not make the most accurate judgment for a while.

The hearts of the two of them were chaotic, and they actually had an idea at the same time.

Since the other party does not dare to fight with himself. So why not take the initiative to send troops to pursue them to expand your own victory?

With this idea, Cai Xun and Cai He immediately commanded their generals to pursue Yan Liang and Wen Chou closely.

But in doing so, you just fell into the trap of Yan Liang and Wen Chou!

Of course, the two of them didn't really want to withdraw, what they did was to force Cai Xun and Cai He to change their defensive formation and switch from defense to offense, so that they could create opportunities for the two of them.

As soon as Cai Xun and Cai He changed formations, Yan Liang and Wen Chou immediately drove their army to turn around and go straight to the direction where Cai Xun and Cai He were.

The Hebei soldiers have been on the battlefield for a long time, and the speed of changing the formation is very fast, far surpassing the Jingzhou army in speed, so fast that Cai Xun and Cai He did not react for a while.

The two of them were changing formations, and before they could react, they saw Yan Liangwen Chou leading his troops through two directions, one left and one right, breaking through the front formation they were changing, taking advantage of the weakness of their own formation. Entered the formation as fast as he could.

Yan Liang and Wen Chou's purpose is very clear, that is, to take down the heads of Cai Xun and Cai He.

Soon, I saw two people killed in front of Er Cai.

The two Cai clan generals couldn't react in time, they were Yan Liang and Wen Chou, one left and one right, one person slashed under the horse!

……

……

After a big battle, it took two hours, although Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses were not well prepared, it was not a plain war after all, and because of the geographical advantages, they were not completely disabled by Liu Jian.

But after this battle, the morale of Yuan's army was greatly damaged, and the soldiers were defeated.

Cai Mao's two younger brothers, Cai Xun and Cai He, were killed by Yan Liangwen Chou.

Kuai Qi, a son of the Kuai clan, died at the hands of Gao Lan.

Xu You's nephew, Xu Hei, died in the fire.

There is also a famous Yingchuan warrior Fanqin, who was trampled to death by horses in the chaos of the army.

Deng Le, a son of the Deng clan in Nanyang, was killed by Lu Kuang, the captain of Hebei.

There are also many children of high-ranking families in the south, who died in the battle with the army.

Countless grains, grass, ordnance, and tents were destroyed by fire.

Liu Jian's army did not entangle with Yuan Shao's army for a long time, but immediately retreated after inflicting heavy losses on Yuan Shao's army.

If he continued to fight, Liu Jian thought that his Hebei army could still defeat Yuan Shao, but Yuan Shao's soldiers and generals also had a lot of soldiers, and if he really fought to the death with Yuan Shao, it would also cause great casualties to the Hebei army.

The matter of Guanzhong is not something that can be fixed by simply defeating Yuan Shao.

You must know that after the occupation of Chang'an, Liu Jian is bound to carry out a purge of the courtiers in the court.

And after this purge, there is no doubt that many local families in the world will start to rebel, and the 100,000 Liangzhou troops in the west are still eyeing them.

At this moment, Liu Jian needs to preserve his strength and deal with the next challenges.

Therefore, there is no need for him to fight with Yuan Shao.

He only needs to let Yuan Shao retreat, it is enough.

……

After the retreat of the Hebei army, Yuan Shao's Dazhai was left in a mess.

After two hours of death-to-death fighting, Yuan Shaojun suffered numerous casualties, and finally the soldiers had to drag their tired bodies and continue to clean the battlefield in the camp.

Throughout the camp, the cries of soldiers calling out for their companions, the heart-wrenching cries of wounded soldiers, and the cries of many soldiers who could not find their companions or died because of their fellow villagers.

It can be said that after this sweep by the Hebei Army, the spirit of the soldiers in Yuan Shao's camp completely collapsed.

After several defeats, most of the soldiers did not want to stay in the ghost place of Guanzhong.

They want to hurry back to their hometown, to the warmth of the South.

And it's not just ordinary soldiers who think this way.

……

In Yuan Shao's handsome tent, Yuan Shao was frowning and borrowing wine to drown his sorrows.

At this time, led by Cai Mao, Huang Zu, He Qia, Deng Xi, Han Xuan, Yingrong, Du Xian and others, as many as 40 military academies and strategists came to Yuan Shao, knelt down together, and asked Yuan Shao to withdraw from the army.

"Lord, you can't fight it anymore!"

"I really can't fight anymore, my lord, the damage of the soldiers is too great!"

"Lord, both of my brothers died in this war, Lord, don't fight anymore!"

"Lord, there are countless losses of grain and grass, how many families in Jingzhou can withstand such a toss?"

"Lord, let's withdraw our troops!"

These families who came to ask Yuan Shao to withdraw their troops today are all relatively large families who were injured in this Northern Expedition.

They supported Yuan Shao and followed Yuan Shao to the north, originally to support Yuan Shao to enter Chang'an, and then they all became heroes, so that they could expand the influence of the family and strive for more benefits for the family.

But now, the interests have not been gained, the Yuan army has been repeatedly defeated, and the important members of the family who followed Yuan Shao to the north also died a lot in the war, and Yuan Shao's losses in Guanzhong are actually the losses of these families to a certain extent.

After all, the Yuan Shao Group is similar to a huge joint-stock group, and these shareholders are all major families, and the failure of the Yuan army is not only the Runan Yuan family, but also them.

Even according to the risk assessment, they should also persuade Yuan Shao to retreat quickly.

After all, wealth is only one aspect, the elites of these families also followed Yuan Shao's side, and after several wars, the losses were not only ordinary soldiers, but also the elites of these families lost a lot of people in the war.

War is cruel and fair, everyone on the battlefield, there will be a probability of death, the sword has no eyes, the opponent's generals and soldiers will not see if you are from a high background, their weapons will greet your head and body.

Seeing that these people were kneeling in front of him, begging bitterly, Yuan Shao could only sigh and said: "That's it, that's it, Chang'an didn't belong to Yuan, and now Liu Yan of Yizhou is also dead, and his nephew heard that he was also under the siege of Brother Boye, and escaped into Nanzhong, the land of Yizhou, which has belonged to my Yuan family, and now half of the southern country is in the hands of my Yuan family, why should I have other hopes?" Withdraw troops, withdraw troops...... Withdraw your troops! ”

All the people who knelt on the ground were extremely relieved to hear Yuan Shao say this, and they knelt down in front of Yuan Shao one after another, shouting: "Yuan Gong is wise! ”

Then everyone came out of Yuan Shao's handsome appearance, and two of them looked quite unsightly at the moment.

These two people are Cai Mao and his younger brother, Cai Zhong.

This time, Cai Xun and Cai He were killed by Yan Liangwen Chou, which made Cai Mao and Cai Zhong's brothers sad.

They also followed this group of people to persuade Yuan Shao to withdraw from the army.

"Brother!"

Cai Zhong wiped the tears on his face and sobbed at Cai Mao in a low voice: "Brother, both brothers died at the hands of Hebei people, which disgraced my Cai family. ”

"Fart!"

Cai Mao reprimanded Cai Zhong in a low voice, and then frowned: "What you say today, from now on, don't talk nonsense!" ”

Cai Zhong didn't expect Cai Mao to suddenly reprimand him, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

"Brother, this ......"

Cai Mao snorted and didn't say much.

Although Cai Xun and Cai He are his brothers, the Cai family is a big clan in Jingzhou, and there are many males in the clan, and Cai Xun and Cai He are not from each house, and their own family can't make a mortal enmity with the most powerful princes in the world because of the two concubines.

In particular, now Cai Mao's second sister Cai Mi is a concubine for Liu Jian in Hebei, and the Cai family actually has a relationship with Liu Jian, which is very important for the Cai family's future retreat.

Cai Zhong is young and doesn't understand the key to this.

But Cai Mao is the head of a family, and he needs to carefully consider the situation, and he can't arbitrarily cut off the family's back road.

"The two younger brothers died on the battlefield, this is not Liu Jian's original intention, the second sister is still in Hebei now, let's not talk nonsense and put the Cai family on the blade...... Don't talk about this matter in the future, and when I go back, I will repair a letter to my second sister to see how to deal with this matter. ”

After Cai Zhong listened to Cai Mao's words, he didn't dare to say more, and then arched his hand towards Cai Mao. Then he turned around and went back to his barracks, and went to take care of the affairs of his own camp.

……

"Lord, lord."

Guo Yuan, who was in charge of listening to all kinds of information on the Guanzhong side, hurriedly walked into the tent and reported Yuan Shao's situation to Liu Jian.

"Lord, Yuan Shao has withdrawn his troops."

Yuan Shao's withdrawal of troops has always been expected by everyone, but his ability to withdraw his troops so quickly is a bit beyond everyone's expectations.

Xun Yu said with a smile on the side: "It stands to reason that Yuan Benchu should not have withdrawn his troops so quickly, I think it was a group of staff under him who forced each other to die." ”

Liu Jian disagreed: "In any case, Yuan Shao has finally withdrawn, then the next thing we have to do is to enter Chang'an." ”

"If Yuan Shao goes, no one will be able to stop us in Guanzhong."

Xun Yu said: "Don't worry, after Yuan Shao completely returns to Nanyang Realm, it will not be too late for us to march to Chang'an, who knows if he will pretend to withdraw his troops, but actually want to counterattack?" ”

"If this is reasonable."
