The Law of Siege.

If it is implemented from the beginning, it can really be effective.

After all, although many of these horses under Yuan Shao's command were killed by Guan Yu in the first battle, they were still able to rein in some remnants of the army, with more than 40,000 people.

More than 40,000 people fought against these Guan Yu troops in Xiapi City, but there were some possible victories.

But now that there are only more than 20,000 people left, it is not so easy to deal with the reinforcements that Guan Yu and Liu Bei may have.

After all, if the current manpower continues to besiege Xiapi City, Liu Bei only needs to send some people to work together inside and outside to wipe out these Yuan troops outside Xiapi City in one fell swoop.

It's just that Wen Chou can't imagine it at this time.

When will Liu Bei send soldiers and horses to support Guan Yu.

Yuan Shao had no other way at this time.

After hearing Wen Chou's words, he could only do what Wen Chou said for the time being.

However, just when they had just retreated from Xiapi City.

He Jifeng, who had just been sent out to investigate the surrounding situation, hurriedly walked back at this time.

As soon as the two of them saw Yuan Shao in the big tent, they immediately shouted at Yuan Shao with nervous expressions!

"Lord, something is wrong."

The two of them appeared in a panic in the midst of the surge.

interrupted the conversation between Wen Chou and Yuan Shao and others.

Renshou and Wenchou and others are also at this moment. Turned his head to look at the two of them who walked in in a hurry.

"Due south, Yuantu. You two are so flustered, what's going on? ”

At this moment, Yuan Shao had gradually calmed down from the initial anger. began to face his own situation, so when he saw the two of them and Ji Feng, he was not as angry as last time. I don't know what I'm thinking, but this time I'm able to calm down.

and the trial of Ji Feng to analyze the current situation.

The trial did not dare to delay and hesitate, and immediately answered Yuan Shao when Yuan Shao asked.

"My lord! The Admiral found some traces of enemy troops fifty miles outside the city. They were rapidly approaching the direction of Xiapi City. According to the time, it is estimated that they will arrive outside Xiapi City in less than half an hour. We have to plan ahead. ”

I was already thinking about the siege of the city, and I was worried about whether Liu Bei would send reinforcements to Xiapi City.

Unexpectedly, the trial had already told him that he had found that Liu Bei's other soldiers and horses were rapidly approaching Xiapi City.

For Yuan Shao, such a result is the last thing he wants to see at present.

So after hearing the report of the trial, Yuan Shao's face changed greatly at the first time.

"What? Who are the people in the south? How many centaurs are there? ”

Yuan Shao was immediately shocked and asked a question about the match.

The judge looked at Yuan Shao, hesitated, and said a word to Yuan Shao.

"My lord! The specific soldiers and horses were not explored clearly because of the distance, but the number was roughly between twenty or thirty thousand people, and the person who commanded the troops should be Zhao Yun, the captain of the white horse under Gongsun Zhan before, because I found some white horses among these people. ”

After the death of Gongsun Zhan, these horses under Gongsun Zhan were generally incorporated by Liu Bei, such as Bai Ma Yi from Zhao Yun, Tian Yu and others were all included in Liu Bei's hands.

Therefore, the trial and Yuan Shao and others all knew that some of Gongsun Zhan's original men and horses had belonged to Liu Bei, and they had been fighting with Gongsun Chan for many years, so they naturally knew what some people Gongsun Chan had under him.

"Zhao Yun, this person is strong, he is a rare good general, I didn't expect it to be him!"

Yuan Shao is naturally aware of Zhao Yun's ability, after all, Gongsun Zhan's white horse righteousness has caused Yuan Shao a lot of suffering, among them, Zhao Yun is the one who is good at fighting.

At this time, after hearing that it was Zhao Yun who led the soldiers and horses to support Picheng, the expression on Yuan Shao's face became even more ugly.

"Lord, what should be done now, please decide!"

The judge didn't dare to decide for himself, so he could only throw the matter back to Yuan Shao, so that Yuan Shao could have an idea.

At this time, Yuan Shao was already a little hesitant, but now he heard the trial that Liu Bei had led his soldiers and horses to continue to rush here, and it seemed that he was planning to unite Guan Yu in Picheng to deal with Yuan Shao together.

In this way, Yuan Shao, who only has more than 20,000 horses left, is also in a disadvantaged position.

Yuan Shao, who was already in some difficulties, naturally did not dare to continue to fight with Guan Yu in Xiapi City here.

"Zhengnan, what is your opinion?"

Yuan Shao frowned and pondered for a moment, but he didn't make up an idea, so he could only look at the two staff members in front of him again.

The two of them glanced at each other, and then, it was Ji Feng, who said a word to Yuan Shaoxian.

"Lord, in the opinion of Yuan Tu, our army is already in an extremely disadvantageous position at this moment, if we continue to fight with Liu Bei's men and horses in Xiapi City, not only will we not have any advantage, but it is very likely that Liu Bei's soldiers and horses will be attacked back and forth, which will eventually lead to a bad result."

Ji Feng didn't say that Yuan Shao would lose in this battle, but only that the result would not be too good, also considering that if he said it too badly, Yuan Shao would be angry.

Although what Ji Feng said was not very direct, Yuan Shao could also understand what Ji Feng meant.

As soon as Yuan Shao heard Ji Feng's words, he knew that Ji Feng did not plan to continue to fight Liu Jun here.

At that moment, Yuan Shao looked at the trial on the side again.

I want to hear the opinions of the judges.

After Ji Feng finished speaking, the trial did not refuse, and opened his mouth to say a word.

"Lord, if it was just now, when General Wen Chou's soldiers and horses were still there, he had the strength to fight, but now our army has suffered serious losses, and our army has not yet received a good rest after the last battle, if we continue to fight, it is inevitable that morale will be decadent, and I am afraid of accidents, Xia Guan believes that at this time, we should first retreat to the East China Sea to repair, wait for new soldiers and horses to come, and then regroup, and then try Xuzhou."

Both of them decided to withdraw from the army and not fight in Xiapi for the time being, so that Yuan Shao would not have so many worries.

"Okay, then according to the wishes of the two military divisions, withdraw the troops!"

Yuan Shao decisively decided to retreat temporarily, and after returning to Donghai County, he regrouped and launched a battle against Xuzhou.

And on Yuan Shao's side, there was a slight movement, and Guan Yu on the city tower had already seen it all.

Guan Yu realized something when he saw that these centaurs began to retreat outside the city.

"Strategist! Strategist! ”

Guan Yu shouted two words at the city tower.

Soon Sun Shao hurriedly walked over.

"What's the matter with the general?"

"Look at the Yuan army under the city is about to retreat!"

Guan Yu pointed at the city and motioned for Sun Shao to look over at this time.
