The army pursued and killed from the ambush, chasing all the way, and never stopping on the way.

It was getting late, and it was already approaching Shangyong City.

At this time, whether Yuan Shu and Lu Bu led the troops to flee, or Gan Ning, Zhou Tai and others led the troops to chase, they were already very tired and consumed too much physical strength.

"Xi Yuyu!"

The red rabbit horse raised its head and neighed, snorting incessantly, exhausted.

The mount under Yuan Shu's crotch was even more tired, and a little white foam actually overflowed from the corners of his mouth. He turned to look at the crooked soldier behind him, his heart dripping blood. He listened to the faint shouting of killing behind him, and asked, "General Lu, Wang Can's army is biting us, and we can't kill them back, and we can't get rid of them, what should we do?" ”

Lu Bu spread out his hand, his expression was very helpless.

He sighed and said: "Wang Can's fierce generals are like clouds, they are all first-class masters, although I can defeat them one by one, but these people don't follow the rules, they are all swarming, and I can't defeat them." ”

When Lu Bu spoke, he also turned around and glanced behind him, with a worried look on his face.

After Zhang Liao led the troops, he did not come back, so he must have been more than lucky.

Lu Bu thought that Zhang Liao was killed, or captured by Wang Can, and his heart ached faintly.

After he followed Dong Zhuo, all the eight generals under his command were folded in Wang Can's hands, which made Lu Bu very uncomfortable. From Gao Shun's surrender to Wang Can at the beginning, to the later killing of Cao Xing, Wei Xu, Song Xian, Cheng Lian, Hao Meng, and Hou Cheng, to the current Zhang Liao's life and death, the eight people were planted in Wang Can's hands, and Lu Bu felt really uncomfortable.

This Wang Can is simply his disaster star.

The group stopped to rest, but as soon as they rested for a while, there was another shout of killing behind them.

Lu Bu sighed and said helplessly: "General Yuan, I can't care so much, run quickly, run as far as you can." He reached out and slapped the horse's buttocks, urging the red rabbit horse to continue on his way.

Yuan Shu looked up to the sky and sighed, and continued to hurry.

However, the two didn't run far before they ran into a small group of soldiers led by Chen Gong.

This small group of soldiers was the soldiers who stayed in the city to guard Shangyong City after Lu Bu and Yuan Shu left Shangyong City. Now they were all brought out by Chen Gong, and Yuan Shu and Lu Bu had Chen Gong's response, so they got rid of Wang Can's army safely.

When the army rushed towards Shangyong City, Lu Bu said: "Gongtai, return to Shangyong City and resist Wang Can!" "This way non-stop running, Lu Bu is no longer the invincible person Lu Bu, he almost became a frightened bird, frightened by Wang Can's soldiers.

Chen Gong shook his head and said: "Lord, Shangyong has no soldiers and no food, and the water source has also been blocked, so withdraw it!" ”

When Lu Bu heard this, he woke up in shock.

Awakened by Chen Gong, Lu Bu remembered the situation of Shangyong City, although the city of Shangyong City is strong and can be defended for a period of time, but there is no food left in the city, there is not enough water source, and it is impossible to defend it.

Yuan Shu was a little nervous in his heart and asked, "Mr. Chen, what should we do next?" ”

Chen Gong said: "Withdraw one after another, settle down and then talk." ”

Yuan Shu and Lu Bu also wanted to hurry up quickly and save their lives first.

The two of them listened to Chen Gong's suggestion, nodded in agreement, and retreated with the army, which slowly retreated, and the speed was a little slow. When Yuan Shu and Lu Bu led the troops to kill, there were tens of thousands of people, but the soldiers they brought back this time were only more than 1,000 people, with heavy casualties, and they were beaten by Wang Can without the ability to fight back.

The soldiers retreated overnight, not taking into account that it was already dark.

Although the soldiers were tired, but when their own lives were involved, they all endured the pain and dragged their tired bodies forward slowly. In the middle of the night, the soldiers crossed the city of Shangyong and retreated for several miles before stopping. The army set up camp, and after Chen Gong settled the soldiers, he went to Yuan Shu and Lu Bu's camp tent.

Chen Gong noticed that Zhang Liao did not come back, but he swallowed it in his heart and did not ask.

He bowed to the two of them, then sat down.

Yuan Shu hurriedly asked: "Mr. Chen, we only have more than a thousand wounded, sick and disabled soldiers left, and we are not Wang Can's opponent at all, and we can't attack Chengdu anymore, what should we do?" ”

"Attack Chengdu?"

Chen Gong sneered twice in his heart, it would be good to be able to save his life, and he still wanted to attack Chengdu.

However, the expression on Chen Gong's face did not change at all, and he said: "Lord Gong, Lord Yuan, although we have been defeated, we still have some combat effectiveness. If they retreat to the territory, but Cao Cao and Yuan Shao invade Yizhou, they will not be able to divide the benefits, so I think we should be stationed now, no matter what happens, we must stick to Wang Can and maintain the posture of attacking Shangyong. ”

Lu Bu asked, "Gongtai, what if Wang Can leads the troops to kill?" ”

Chen Gong smiled and said, "Lord, this matter is easy to hear!" ”

"As long as Wang Can launches an attack, the lord will immediately lead his troops to retreat and not engage Wang Can; As long as Wang Can led the troops to retreat, the lord advanced slowly and did not engage Wang Can. No matter what changes Wang Can makes, he only needs to drag Wang Can back, so that Wang Can cannot transfer troops to deal with Yuan Shao and Cao Cao in the north, which is the credit of the lord and Lord Yuan in the future. ”

"As long as the lord and Yuan Shu stay outside Shangyong City, even if there is no merit, there is hard work, although the lord and Lord Yuan did not defeat Wang Can, they also dragged Wang Can's troops, and they paid for their efforts."

Chen Gong talked eloquently, which made the two grief and frustrated people feel a lot better.

At least, according to Chen Gong's method, there is something to be done.

Although it can only be a shrunken turtle in the future, it can only be like this. Lu Bu thought for a while, and then asked: "Gongtai, we were defeated by Wang Can this time, how much food is left in the army, and how long can it be supported?" ”

Yuan Shu also looked at Chen Gong with a nervous look on his face.

Food is the foundation of the army and cannot be missing.

Chen Gong Zhengse said: "Don't worry, my lord, I have already asked the soldiers to escort the grain, grass and baggage to retreat, so there is no need to worry." "At the beginning, Chen Gong was not optimistic about Yuan Shu and Lu Bu attacking Wang Can, so Chen Gong evacuated Shangyong City early and transported the grain, grass and baggage in the army to the back, so as not to be destroyed by Wang Can.

When Yuan Shu and Lu Bu heard this, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that the two of them had no other problems, Chen Gong said: "Lord Yuan, Lord Yuan, I still have to settle the soldiers in the camp with my humble position, and I am busy with affairs, so I left first." ”

Yuan Shu waved his hand and nodded again.

Lu Bu watched Chen Gong leave and sighed slightly.

The two looked at each other, and their faces showed expressions of regret, if they had followed Chen Gong's advice, there would have been no failure today, and although Shangyong City had no food and other items, as long as it was stationed outside the city, it could also defend Shangyong City. and then press step by step, you can persecute Wang Can. It's a pity that the army has been defeated and can't come back.

After Chen Gong left the camp, he called a soldier to inquire about the situation.

What he cares about is naturally Zhang Liao's affairs.

Chen Gong and Zhang Liao are a scholar and a martial artist under Lu Bu, and they have a very good relationship. Zhang Liao did not return, which made Chen Gong very worried, and after Chen Gong asked about the matter, he was stunned, he didn't expect that Lu Bu would let Zhang Liao break the queen, because there was definitely no way to survive after the break, under the circumstances at that time, the army was in a mess, and it could only retreat directly, and it was useless to break the back.

Zhang Liao did not return, he must have been killed or captured.

Chen Gong was so angry that he stomped his feet again and again, gritted his teeth with hatred, and secretly scolded Lu Bu for being incompetent.

In the end, Chen Gong could only shake his head and sigh, and then slowly returned to his camp. When he walked, his back was slightly rickety, and his back looked extremely lonely.

Under Lu Bu, he is the only one who can see things clearly.

PS: The fourth watch is completed, and I have taken a break at the end of work.
