173 Zhang He withdrew his troops
"Don't act impulsively!"
"At this time, it is no longer possible to attack Yecheng!" Speaking of this, Tian Feng couldn't help but sigh heavily, and said to Zhang He: "Now, we should immediately prepare our troops and horses, retreat east to Qingzhou, and merge with the eldest prince Yuan Tan." ”
"Although the lord is no longer there, the eldest prince Yuan Tan is still there."
"The lord unfortunately died, and he should be succeeded by the eldest prince Yuan Tan. General Zhang He, you should cheer up and go to Qingzhou to serve the eldest prince Yuan Tan! ”
What Tian Feng said, Zhang He also understood.
He also knew that attacking Yecheng now was undoubtedly a mantis arm as a car, but it was just a sacrifice in vain.
However, now Yecheng has not been taken, and so has the lord Yuan Shao, and the 50,000 soldiers and horses led by Zhang He have also been killed, and only about 10,000 people remain.
This makes Zhang He, what kind of face do you have to meet the eldest prince Yuan Tan!
With tears in his eyes, Zhang He looked at Tian Feng and said, "When the official crossing was separated, Ju Yi and Gao Ran stayed in the official crossing. ”
"I led 50,000 people to escort the lord back to Yecheng, and I, Zhang He, were safe and sound, but the lord died under Yecheng."
"Now Yecheng Yecheng can't take it, and only these people are left in the 50,000 soldiers and horses, military advisor, what kind of face do you say I should have to meet the eldest prince Yuan Tan."
"I can't wait to kill myself under this city!"
Hearing Zhang He's words, Tian Feng hurriedly comforted: "Junyi, the death of the lord is not your fault. ”
"In the battle of Yecheng, you have done your best. If your skills are not as good as others, you can only bow to the wind. ”
"You have to leave a useful body and assist the eldest prince Yuan Tan is good!"
Tian Feng's words are also very clear, from the battle of Guandu, to the loss of Yecheng, to Yuan Shao's death under Yecheng, and then to their battle to capture the city.
They can't blame them for their incompetence because of their repeated failures, they can only say that Su Ming is too powerful, and Cao Jun is too powerful.
Now, there are no generals under the eldest prince Yuan Tan, if Zhang He is under Yecheng, then who will assist Yuan Tan?
Without the assistance of capable generals, what will Yuan Tan do to fight Cao Cao!
After Tian Feng's persuasion, this can be regarded as persuading Zhang He.
Zhang He asked Tian Feng, "Strategist, then in your opinion, when should we withdraw our troops?" ”
When will the troops be withdrawn?
After Tian Feng thought about it for a while, he slowly said to Zhang He: "Now I will order the soldiers to prepare!" ”
"As soon as it gets dark, let's leave the empty camp and evacuate the soldiers in the direction of Qingzhou."
"The night is dark and the wind is high, and Cao Jun will not dare to chase it."
Zhang He obeyed Tian Feng's strategy and ordered to go down and let the soldiers in the camp pack up their things and prepare to retreat to Qingzhou.
In addition, Zhang He first sent a team of scouts, one person and three horses rushed to Qingzhou first, and informed the eldest prince Yuan Tan to send troops to meet them.
Although he was ready to withdraw his troops, Zhang He still ordered his soldiers to repair the siege equipment outside the camp, making it look like they would continue to attack the city.
The reason for this is to paralyze the defenders in Yecheng, as well as the soldiers and horses of Cao Hong and Lejin outside the city.
Avoid them seeing Zhang He's intention to withdraw his troops, so they stormed behind them.
After dark, Zhang He ordered his soldiers and horses to withdraw from the camp in batches and retreat in the direction of Qingzhou.
Since it was a retreat in batches, the movement was very small when leaving, and even the torches were useless.
Therefore, when Zhang He retreated, he did not alarm anyone.
Even Su Ming, Le Jin, and Cao Hong did not find that Zhang He's army had withdrawn from the camp under the city.
At this time, there were only Zhang He's elite troops left in the camp, the Euphorbia, and 2,000 cavalry.
Zhang He personally led these soldiers and horses to prevent a possible pursuit.
In the middle of the night, sub-hour.
All the soldiers and horses have been evacuated to a safe position, and Zhang He and their soldiers and horses behind the palace should also be evacuated.
However, when he evacuated, Zhang He couldn't find his military advisor Tian Feng.
The Great Tent of the Chinese Army.
"General Zhang He, I've searched everywhere, but I haven't seen the military division!" An adjutant general came to report it.
At this time, Feng Ji Yin and Yang said angrily: "This Tian Feng, it won't be a person who secretly ran to Cao Mengde, right?" ”
Hearing this, Zhang He pulled out the sword with a "bang", and the sword was directly on Feng Ji's head.
"Fengji, if you dare to talk nonsense again, believe it or not, I will cut off your head!" Zhang He glared angrily.
Feng Ji is a person who doesn't have much real ability, but he is extremely good at flattery.
Moreover, Feng Ji and Tian Feng are very difficult to deal with.
Feng Ji has no real ability, Tian Feng has real ability.
Feng Ji is good at flattery, and Tian Feng is upright.
The two of them are like two extremes, so Feng Ji is very jealous of Tian Feng in his heart.
When Yuan Shao was alive, Feng Ji often spoke ill of Tian Feng in front of Yuan Shao.
Now, Tian Feng is gone, Feng Ji has seized the opportunity, and he also wants to say bad things about Tian Feng in front of Zhang He.
Zhang He is not Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao likes to listen to flattery, but Zhang He is a short temper.
Moreover, the relationship between Zhang He and Tian Feng is much better than that with Feng Jide.
Zhang He drew his sword and was about to cut Feng Ji, and while he was judged, Guo Tu and others hurriedly persuaded him.
At this time, another general walked in from outside and reported to Zhang Heyu: "General, there are two generals Cao Jun outside asking to see him. ”
Hearing this, Zhang He couldn't help but be stunned.
General Cao Jun.
At this time, what did General Cao Jun do when he came to see him?
"Could it be that Tian Feng really surrendered to Cao Jun."
"Now, Cao Jun has sent someone to surrender."
"Eighty percent of them are like this! Otherwise, why did Cao Jun come here at this time! ”
For a time, these partial generals and deputy generals in the Chinese army's big tent were also whispering.
Seeing that so many people supported his views, Feng Ji also had the confidence to shout: "Zhang Junyi, look, what I said is right? ”
"Tian Feng really took refuge in Cao Cao, why don't you tell the truth and you want to kill me?"
"Do you also want to take refuge in Cao Cao, are you worthy of the dead lord and the eldest prince Yuan Tan?"
At this time, everyone in the Chinese army's tent became suspicious.
Zhang He also can't make up his mind with you, Zhang He thought to himself, the military advisor persuaded me to withdraw my troops from Qingzhou and join forces with the eldest prince Yuan Tan.
Could it be that he himself went to take refuge in Cao Cao!
Impossible, absolutely impossible, the military advisor is not such a person!
Although, saying that it was impossible, Zhang He still muttered in his heart.
It's the middle of the night, or at this time, why did Cao Jun have a military academy to see him?
In addition to Tian Feng having already taken refuge in Cao Cao and sending someone to surrender to him, Zhang He really couldn't think of the reason why General Cao Jun came to see him at this time!
"O military advisor! Strategist! ”
"Don't let me down!" Zhang He sighed and muttered to himself.
