On Chunyu Qiong's side, he made a relatively smooth march at the beginning and occupied Zhangwu County in Bohai County.

However, Cao Hong was very brave and led his army to fight against Chunyu Qiong's army head-on, and used an army of more than 6,000 people to defeat Chunyu Qiong's 10,000 troops. He defeated Chunyu Qiong's superior forces so that he did not dare to leave Zhangwu County. He only dared to defend the city and did not dare to go out of the city to fight.

Cao Hong's side was limited by his limited troops and could not attack the city in large numbers. After Zang Hong recruited 10,000 militias from the rear to come to the front line to assist, Cao Hong began to formally arrange the siege.

Chunyu Qiong was even more afraid to leave the city because she was criticized.

Chunyu Qiong's military capabilities are really limited.

Under Chen Gong's tactical planning, he was no match for Cao Hong at all. There was no other possibility except defending the city. The recovery of Bohai County and Qinghe Kingdom was simply a dream.

Compared to Chunyu Qiong, the senior officials are more combat-effective, and they fight with Zhang Yan and are evenly matched.

Zhang Yan has never been able to strike Changshan Kingdom, but his goal is to suppress some of Yuan Shao's troops and relieve pressure on Guo Peng.

As long as Guo Peng can reduce the pressure slightly and win, Zhang Yan will make a lot of money.

The main battlefield is in full swing, and the other two small battlefields are also fighting back and forth, it depends on when the winner can be decided on the main battlefield.

Chunyu Qiong and Gao Gan both felt that Yuan Shao could easily win.

What a joke? The 60,000 army crushed over and overwhelmed it, and it was overwhelming. Tell me how to lose?

Come on, tell me, how to lose?

Not to mention Guo Peng, Yuan Shu will die if he comes in person!

In the end, I really lost, and the loss seemed to be without any suspense.

They were still insisting, not knowing that Yuan Shao was finished and that they had become dying people.

Guo Peng led his army to attack northwards without stopping, and only did two things along the way.

One thing is to surrender.

One thing is to chop people.

When Guo Peng's army rushed over, the landlords and powerful people who did not join Yuan Shao's camp all took the same attitude as those who defected to him when Yuan Shao went south.

Eat a pot of slurry to welcome the king's army.

When I saw the king's army coming from afar, I quickly lined up to welcome him.

There is no way, if you don’t line up to welcome him, the king will chop people up.

When those landlords and powerful people who supported Yuan Shao learned that Yuan Shao had defeated Guo Peng and rushed north, they were already scared and lost their home business and ran north. Some of them were not fast enough and could not bear to leave those jars and jars, and were caught up by Guo Peng.

Then there is a wave of traditional operations.

You have a lot of vision to disobey the legitimate son of Yuan and help a concubine!

Mr. Guo waved his hand and the god of death came.

The landlords and powerful people who did not help Yuan Shao looked at everything in front of them trembled, and at the same time, they thanked themselves countless times for their reason and for not being confused by the temporary generous conditions.

If I had been irrational enough before, I might be like these people who had lost their families.

These big-headed soldiers are really completely unreasonable...

But for Mr. Guo, this is a typical benefit. I will take the blame.

I've been a dog for your Yuan family, are you still unwilling to take the blame for me?

Anyway, this is not the first time that Yuan Shu has taken the blame for Guo Peng.

On September 15, the fourth year of Chuping, Xu You and Feng Ji protected Yuan Shao and fled to Changshan Kingdom with thousands of remaining soldiers. They ran away with no life and rushed to the road. Finally, they met with the high-ranking officials before the pursuers came.

The high-ranking cadre is Yuan Shao's nephew. He has always been friendly and trustworthy. He also has ten thousand soldiers under his command, which is Yuan Shao's only hope in danger.

However, when he saw Xu You and Feng Ji escape with Yuan Shao and thousands of remaining soldiers, the high-ranking officials were frightened and lost.

"Our army... was defeated?"

The senior officials looked at Yuan Shao's hair that had been gray in just ten days. Even if they didn't want to believe it, they had to believe it. They were indeed defeated.

Yuan Shao woke up a few days ago. After waking up, he saw the tragic situation of running away in a panic, and screamed again, vomited blood, and fainted.

I woke up early the next morning and found that I had turned gray all night.

The original black hair turned white overnight, and the whole person seemed to have become ten years older in an instant.

Where has the time gone?

Yuan Shao didn’t know, Xu You and Feng Ji didn’t know, so the high-ranking officials didn’t know even more.

But they all knew very well that they had become a betrayal dog and had to continue to escape, otherwise they would be chased by Guo Peng's pursuers and they would not have a good ending.

The food and grass were burned and the army was dispersed. In the blink of an eye, only more than 10,000 were left. How can I fight this battle?

The army of high-ranking officials was also panicked. If Xu You and Feng Ji had not made a quick decision and ordered Zhang He to lead troops to suppress the chaotic army immediately, the army might have collapsed.

But now they no longer have food supplies, and there is only seven or eight days of food reserve in the camp of high-ranking officials. If they are not used properly, it will be a disaster. Everyone will be caught up by Guo Peng's pursuers and die without a place to bury them.

Yuan Shao was in a daze and was completely unaware of what to do. Xu You and Feng Ji urgently started to use their brains.

Under the extreme state, Xu You thought of a solution.

"If we take more than 10,000 people to retreat north, not only will we be slow, but we will not be enough food. We will be caught up by the pursuers soon. We will all die. However, the only way now is to concentrate all the horses and a large amount of food, and we will protect Ming Gong and move to Jixian."

"And what? What should we do with the remaining troops? Just put them here? Is it possible?"

The senior official was surprised and suspicious.

"Most people must stay, and they must leave behind prestigious generals and commanders to guard here, restrain Zhang Yan's army, and stop Guo Peng's pursuit, and buy time for our successful retreat. As long as we can return to Jixian, there will be a chance. If we can't go back, we will be all done."

Xu You took a few breaths and said, "My idea is to leave the captain Zhang He and Zhao Rui behind, command the remaining troops to guard the camp, and buy us back to Jixian."

The high-ranking officials and Feng Ji looked at each other.

"Will they want to? Staying behind is obviously a death."

Feng Ji looked a little embarrassed.

"This is not something they are willing to do or not! This is something they must do! Since as ministers, you must have the determination to die for the Lord, otherwise why would the Lord accept them?"

Xu Youyi said righteously: "They must stay. If they don't stay, Ming Gong will be in danger. Wouldn't they be willing to die for Ming Gong?"

Feng Ji and Gao Gan stopped talking, so Xu You immediately called Zhang He and Zhao Rui.

"You also know the current situation. Guo Zhe pursued the troops behind us. Our army suffered heavy losses and now there is no power to fight back. Only with the current plan, we can only protect General Yuan and rush back to Ji County as soon as possible, so that we can regain our momentum."

Zhang He and Zhao Rui nodded immediately to show that they understood.

"But Guo's pursuers must not be stopped, otherwise we will not be able to return to Jixian smoothly, and we may be caught up. Therefore, Zhang Xiaowei, Zhao Xiaowei, and the general ordered you to lead 10,000 troops to guard Zhending County and buy time for the general to withdraw from Jixian."

Xu You issued an order.

Just as the two of them were about to agree like a conditioned reflex, they suddenly realized something, and the word "obeying the order" stuck in their throats and couldn't say it.

This is to...

Let's die?

Abandon us?

Zhang He and Zhao Rui looked at each other in shock, and then looked at Xu You again.

"Mr. Xu, we only have 10,000 soldiers and horses. How can we fight against the tens of thousands of troops of Guo? There are also 10,000 soldiers and horses of Chang Shan bandits who are also threatening!"

"Mr. Xu, we are loyal to the general and are willing to die for the general. We are willing to follow the general north!"
