Seeing that these two people were unwilling to stay, Xu You's face darkened.

"It is precisely because you are loyal to the general that the general appointed you to command troops. Isn't it the most important thing to buy time for the general to retreat? Don't you want to die for the general? Do you have a second thought?"

Xu Youyi accused the two of them with righteous words: "Are you going to reveal your true colors at this time?"

"this……"

Zhang He and Zhao Rui looked anxious and wanted to say something. Xu You waved his hand and said, "If you stick to it and buy time for the general to withdraw back to Ji County, then the general can still protect your family. If not, how should your family protect?"

Xu You's words captured the lifeline of Zhang He and Zhao Rui, and they immediately had nothing to say.

My family is in Ji County and becomes hostage. What should I do if I don’t guard here?

The two looked at each other with sad expressions, and finally they could only endure the grief and dissatisfaction and took the order.

So Xu You, Feng Ji, high-ranking officials and others immediately rectified the troops, rectified the two thousand cavalry, brought enough rations, and roared away to protect Yuan Shao.

Escape to your life.

Zhang He and Zhao Rui were left behind to trap the lonely city with 10,000 troops, and the food in the city would last for at least three or four days.

This is a dying rhythm.

"What should we do?"

Zhao Rui looked at Zhang He with a lifeless face.

"I don't know, if the war has reached this point, can we continue to fight? In this battle, General Yuan lost all the losses. Guo Zifeng was so imposing. Jizhou collapsed and General Yuan was about to give up Jizhou and fled to Youzhou. Can he still regain his momentum?"

Zhang He shook his head and said, "I guess that even if General Yuan returns to Ji County, he will not be able to get the support of the Youzhou nobles. He can only continue to flee north or east, or even to the grassland. Once Guo Zifeng pursues him relentlessly, the Thirteen Prefectures of the Han Dynasty will not have a foothold of General Yuan."

The more Zhao Rui listened, the more he felt disheartened.

"Then what should I wait? Then I will become a meaningless abandoned child? What will happen to my family?"

"have no idea."

Zhang He sighed deeply: "People are the slaughter and I am the slaughter. What else can we do?"

"I……"

Zhao Rui frowned, gritted his teeth, and his breathing became rapid.

Shaoqing, Zhao Rui opened his mouth.

"Junyi, why not, let's just surrender."

Zhang He was stunned.

"Are you crazy? If we surrender, our family will die without a burial place!"

"I'm not crazy!"

Zhao Rui yelled: "He Yuan Benchu ​​doesn't treat us as human beings, and leaves us here to die, but even if we die, will our family members definitely survive? Will they not be abandoned by Yuan Benchu? Or after we die, Yuan Benchu ​​is chased by Guo Zifeng, can our family members survive?"

Zhang He was stunned on the spot, opening his mouth, unable to say a word.

What he said makes sense.

Can their families survive if they die in battle here?

"Junyi, don't you think that we are the only ones who think this way, right? The soldiers below are thinking this way! If we persist, it will even lead to mutiny. Once the food is eaten, we will definitely die without a place to bury us! Yuan Benchu ​​treats us as abandoned children and does not care about our lives or death at all!"

Zhao Rui lowered his throat and growled: "Since that's the case, why should we care about his life and death?! If we surrender, we can still fight for wealth and honor! There is also the possibility of saving monks! As long as we are alive, it is possible! If we die, everything will be over!"

Zhao Rui's rebellion had already aroused, and Zhang He was very shaken.

The next day, early in the morning of September 16, Guo Peng's pursuers Zhao Yun, Cao Chun and 5,000 cavalrymen from Nanlou chased Zhending County and returned to Zhao Yun's hometown.

Later, they took Guo Peng's handwriting to join Zhang Yan's troops in Changshan Army and joined forces with Zhang Yan.

When Zhang Yan learned that Guo Peng had defeated Yuan Shao's army, Yuan Shao fled and was very surprised. He immediately joined forces with Zhao Yun and others to attack Zhending County.

Then, Zhending County opened the city and surrendered.

The guard general Zhang He and Zhao Rui surrendered with more than 10,000 soldiers, put down their weapons and knelt on the ground with their hands in their arms, begging for surrender.

Cao Chun accepted the surrender of Zhang He and Zhao Rui on behalf of Guo Peng, and then asked them the truth.

"Yuan Benchu ​​did not treat us as human beings, but only treated us as abandoned children. He fled to Jixian with his own people and only gave us three or four days of food. If we fight to the death, we will definitely be trapped here. He is unkind, so why should we be loyal to him?"

Zhao Rui said so.

Zhang He sighed and said, "It's over here, and we are ineffective in turning things around. Hebei must belong to General Guo. Why should we bring these soldiers to die together? Why do you want to find a way out for everyone."

Cao Chun nodded, wrote down the answers of these two people, then incorporated the surrendered troops into the army, and then arranged Zhang He and Zhao Rui. He immediately went north with them and asked them to lead the way and head towards Ji County.

They did not stop Guo Peng's pursuit of the army for even one day. Therefore, Guo Peng's pursuit continued to chase Yuan Shao's remnants, and was still eyeing him and still clenched Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao no longer has the power to fight back. He must keep running away, otherwise there will be no chance.

On the way to escape, Xu You also discussed with Feng Ji, feeling that the Youzhou nobles would not continue to support Yuan Shao, but Youzhou became full of dangers. After arriving in Ji County, he had to take all his family away immediately and then continue to run eastward.

"If you go east, where can you go? Or if you stand up? The more you go east, the more you are mixed with Hu and Han, and it is impossible to resist Guo Zifeng. If you want to go to Liaodong, only Gongsun Du can go."

Xu You said so.

But Feng Ji was embarrassed.

"Gongsun Du's severance of Liaodong and claimed to be the governor of Pingzhou, the Marquis of Liaodong, was clear about his intention to be unofficial. If we go to join him, will there be a way out?"

"If you don't go to join him, are you going to wait for Guo Zifeng to behead him? Or you may flee north to the grassland and be a barbarian who eats raw meat and drinks blood?"

Xu You gritted his teeth tightly: "The most important thing now is to seek survival! It is to let Ming Gong live. Only in this way can we have the opportunity to regain our momentum!"

Run and die all the way.

Compared with Yuan Shao's miserable current situation, Guo Peng is much more happy.

Now Jizhou is in the world of ice and fire. On one side is ice and fire, the other side is fire. On the other side is wiped out the landlords and powerful people who helped Yuan Shao, while comforting the landlords and powerful people who did not help Yuan Shao.

As Guo Peng walked along the way, the army had never lacked food, and he didn't even consume his own food.

All of them were contributed by these landlords and powerful people from Jizhou.

Not only did he give food, but he also gave money to help the army, and he also gave cars, horses and livestock, and he made every effort to help Guo Peng advance.

All counties along the way were basically easily won, and there was no stubborn city.

He advanced all the way, controlled all the counties and counties in Jizhou, and until Yuan Shao fled back to Ji County, Guo Peng had already controlled most of Jizhou.

Most of Jizhou is also actively cooperating with Guo Peng to control himself, and even helping Guo Peng attack and destroy the families that helped Yuan Shao, for fear of encountering those defeated ones.

They are not unfamiliar with such tragic situations, but they do not want to encounter such a thing.
