Chapter 6 Success In the middle of the night of the ninth day of the day, the Northern Xinjiang Army withdrew to Changling. Inside the improvised military tent, Koji Yoshiki walked around restlessly in the dim candlelight.

I have read the joint letter of Li Hong and Xu Rong more than 100 times, and now I can recite it almost word for word.

The letter makes it very clear that there are three purposes for taking the initiative to defeat this battle. The first is to preserve strength. The combined forces of Yuan Shao, Kuai Yue, Han Sui, and Ma Teng numbered nearly 100,000 people, and in the case that Zhang Ji, Wang Fang, and Huang Fuhong might defect, it was the wisest and safest way to withdraw from the battle.

At the beginning of the month, the battle of Nanshan Pavilion did not achieve the expected goal, causing the king of Qin to fall into passivity, if the king of Qin at any cost, the safety of the Son of Heaven would be difficult to guarantee, and the losses of the northern army were also very amazing.

Now the main force of the Northern Xinjiang Iron Cavalry is all on the battlefield in Guanzhong, Zhao Yun's Hebei Iron Cavalry, Pang De's Fengyun Iron Cavalry, Wei Jun's Ural Mountain Iron Cavalry, and the Hun Iron Cavalry of Liu Ming, the most loyal to the Han Dynasty, once the four main iron cavalry armies are lost by more than half, can the Northern Xinjiang Army still ensure that Guanzhong is taken?

Even if Guanzhong is taken, what will happen to the garrison of the desert and border counties in the future? What will we do in the future when the world is pacified, especially when the Central Plains is captured?

The second is to effectively deplete the forces of all parties that entered the battlefield in Guanzhong, especially the strength of Yuan Shao, Kuai Yue, Han Sui and Ma Teng.

The reason why we know that we will lose this battle is our main purpose. The strength of the parties is weakened, and there is little difference between them, so the competition for the Son of Heaven will be more intense, and the battle in Guanzhong can continue forever.

When they fight again, we can get the opportunity to be the king again, and we can save the Son of Heaven at the lowest cost.

At the beginning of the year, we waited until the Guanzhong Chaos to send troops to Qinwang, isn't it for this reason? No matter how fierce the tiger is, it can't fight the siege of the wolves.

Although now we can try to be happy for a while and forcibly save the Son of Heaven at all costs, but we ourselves are beaten to death, so is this King of Qin still successful?

Does this King of Diligence still make sense? Third, only after defeat can we have a reason to give up King Qin and withdraw our troops to Hedong.

We can not fight this battle, and we can use other methods to avoid defeat, but we went to Guanzhong to go to King Qin, and we must obey the will of the Son of Heaven.

Therefore, we must not only fight, not only take the initiative to fall into the predicament of being attacked by the enemy in front and rear, but also fight fiercely, and fight so that people believe that our Northern Xinjiang Army is not a diligent king, but is really unable to serve the king.

Otherwise, if we give up King Qin and withdraw our troops to Hedong, we will definitely be blamed by the people of the world and hated by the eldest princess and Hebei officials.

Now this battle has been fought by itself, and it has been defeated in accordance with the requirements of the general, and the fight has made everyone in the world know that the Northern Xinjiang Army is unable to Qin Wang, but is the Northern Xinjiang Army really unable to Qin Wang?

No. Under the instruction of the general, he successfully persuaded Han Sui and got Han Sui's help, so as to save the main iron cavalry and withdraw from the battlefield very smoothly.

At present, the Northern Xinjiang Army still has the strength to continue to fight, continue to confront various forces in Guanzhong, and look for opportunities for King Qin.

Do I really want to obey the general's order and quit Guanzhong? Mr. Wenyue's words on the edge of Weiqiao had too much impact on him.

If Mr. Wenyue's analysis is correct, the general has no intention of King Qin at all, he is deceiving the people of the world, and he is deceiving the eldest princess and the people of Hebei, then it is very likely that he will become a scapegoat for this defeat as Mr. Wenyue said.

Will the Great General kill me? Has the general really become a cunning minister? Koji closed his eyes and sighed in a low voice.

The Great General will not change. After so many years, how could a general have ever killed a subordinate? How could he have sacrificed his men for his own personal ends?

He wants to kill me, and if he is not happy with me, why does he keep giving me a heavy responsibility? Mr. Wenyo's words may have his truth, maybe he has his own understanding and views on the situation in the world, or maybe he has some other purpose.

He is not familiar with the general, and he doesn't know what the general has done in the past few years, he just guesses the general's thoughts with his own psychology, and it is impossible for him to understand the general's personality and willingness.

He may be wrong. But what should I do if things are as Mr. Wenyo said? Mr. Wen Yue is a celebrity, the leader of the Xiliang army, who has been struggling in Xiliang for ten years, and his views on many things must be more thorough than mine, and his wisdom and vision are far better than mine.

Even if he is wrong, the estimate will not be too far from the truth. Thinking of his wife and children, thinking of his mother and clan relatives, Koji Yi shuddered.

Zhao Yun strode into the military tent.

"Brother Yuntian, looking for me late at night, what's the urgency?" Koji refers to the book on the case,

"Zilong, after we rode into Guanzhong in 55,000 steps, we went through several battles and suffered nearly 10,000 casualties. Look at the casualties in the newspapers......" Zhao Yun took a general look, and his brows couldn't help frowning,

"The army of foot soldiers suffered more than 7,000 casualties." He looked up at Koji Yi, his face was sad,

"These are the main forces of the Yellow Turban Army of Montenegro, and they are afraid that they will ...... by this heavy blow"

"They're going to fight." Koji Yi sat beside Zhao Yun and praised softly,

"It's all a bunch of fierce generals. Yu Poison, Ku Chief, and Li Damu found me one after another, shouting and screaming for revenge. In the past few years, the grudge between them and Yuan Shao has been too deep, they want revenge too much, and they are very emotional. In this case, tell them to withdraw from Guanzhong immediately, I'm afraid it will ......" Zhao Yun understood what Koji Yi meant, and Koji Yi planned to delay the time for withdrawing troops.

The commander of King Qin's army this time is Lu Yi, and the deputy commander is Zhao Yun, and the two must agree on this kind of major event.

"Han Sui has already returned to Xiliang, and we continue to stay in Guanzhong, neither in terms of military superiority, nor in finding the opportunity of King Qin. On the contrary, because of our existence, the generals of Guanzhong, such as Yuan Shao, Kuai Yue, Ma Teng, and Zhang Ji, will stick close together in order to confront us. This is not beneficial to King Qin, nor to the situation in Guanzhong. Zhao Yun slowly rolled up the bamboo slip in his hand and said with a smile,

"Brother Yuntian, if you want to find the opportunity of King Qin, if you want to make King Qin at the lowest cost, you have to let them fight each other. If we want them to fight each other, we can't give them the opportunity to join forces, we can't let them feel that we are a strong threat. Zhao Yun touched the book slip in his hand and continued: "This is a book slip, even if we use two hands, it is difficult to break it easily. But if it's just a thin piece of bamboo, we can break it with two fingers. The general's suggestion is correct, and I think it's better to withdraw from Guanzhong quickly. Koji Yi pondered for a long time, and stopped talking, looking very hesitant.

"Brother Yuntian, Zhang Ji, Wang Fang, and Huangfu Hong defected, not to give the Son of Heaven to Yuan Shao, but to firmly control the Son of Heaven in their own hands as in the past. The Son of Heaven is young, and he was deceived and coerced by these people, and he couldn't distinguish the loyalty**, and it was normal for him to give orders to beat us. The Son of Heaven is not familiar with us, or even knows us at all, how can he believe us? He certainly trusted the ministers who had been with him all the time. Therefore, I think the general's idea is right, let them fight each other, wait for the damned people to die, and when the Son of Heaven knows that no one can save him except the general, it will not be too late for us to go to King Qin. Zhao Yun patted Lu Yi on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You don't think that Yuan Shao suddenly changed his course and took the Son of Heaven to Luoyang, right?" Even if Yuan Shao really changed his ways, would Zhang Ji and the others agree? Will those who hate Yuan Shao in the DPRK agree? I don't think Liu Biao will agree. Once Yuan Shao brings the Son of Heaven to Luoyang and deposes him again, can Liu Biao still keep Jingzhou? A holy decree can call Liu Biao to Luoyang to kill. Koji Yi was worried and silent.

Zhao Yun thought for a while and asked, "Brother Yuntian, aren't you worried that Han Sui will deceive us, saying that he will withdraw from Guanzhong and secretly stay in Guanzhong, ready to pick up cheap like us, right?" I don't think so, Han Sui has no food and grass, and he offended Yuan Shao and Ma Teng because he secretly helped us in the first battle of Chang'an, so he will not continue to stay in Guanzhong no matter what. Then he patted Koji on the back and whispered,

"I know you are unwilling, but the situation in Guanzhong is here, and the general has a military order, so if you don't withdraw, you have to withdraw. If we don't withdraw, the general will be angry. Ko Yi's heart trembled, and he blurted out: "I lost the battle, and the matter of King Qin was abandoned halfway, even if the general doesn't kill me now, what will happen in the future?" In the future, once King Qin fails, something happens to the Son of Heaven, or Yuan Shao really changes his ways, he succeeds King Qin, we all become rebels, and Hebei is in chaos, will the general bring up the old matter again and kill me? Zhao Yun was taken aback,

"Brother Yuntian, why did you suddenly have such thoughts? How could the general kill you? If you want to stay in Guanzhong to fight, there's no need to use this excuse, right? Koji Yi sneered and said nothing,

"We still have more than 40,000 people, and we have enough strength to Qin Wang, do you think it is appropriate to withdraw at this time?"

"Yuntian, the general has already said that sacrificing the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers in order to save the Son of Heaven is drinking doves to quench thirst, which is very detrimental to Northern Xinjiang and to pacifying the world in the future."

"Then why did he lead his army to fight Luoyang? Fight Luoyang without dying? Zhao Yun hesitated for a moment and said with a wry smile: "Brother Yuntian, I know that you have an opinion on the general's strategy this time, but I don't think there is anything wrong with the general's strategy. The purpose of attacking Luoyang was to force Yuan Shao to withdraw his troops, so that we could successfully rescue the Son of Heaven and capture Guanzhong at the lowest cost, and then take the opportunity to expand the results of the battle on this basis. But people are not as good as heaven, first Yuan Shao desperately did not withdraw the army, and then Huang Fuhong did not believe us, so we failed to save the Son of Heaven in the first battle of Nanshan Pavilion. One wrong step, one wrong step, this is also a common thing in wars, why do you have a grudge against the general because of this? Even suspect that he is going to kill you? Koji sneered.

"The officials of Hebei, including many generals in the Northern Xinjiang Army, all believe that the Northern Xinjiang Army is invincible and can completely sweep the world. They have never considered how much money they need to fight a war, how much manpower and material resources they need to use, they don't consider whether the vast desert and border counties need stability, and they don't consider the food and clothing of more than 10 million people in the three prefectures of Hebei. They said that it was for the sake of the Han Society, but in fact, all they thought about was their own fame and fortune. Zhao Yun smiled and said softly,

"For example, this time we used 100,000 troops to enter the king of Guanqin, and I will not talk about the money, food, ordnance and materials to be spent, and the people, carriages, and ships to be requisitioned. Let me talk about this time when the iron cavalry entered the pass, if it were not for the deterrence of our Northern Xinjiang Army against the Hu people in the desert for the past five years, the desert and the border counties would have been able to get five years of peace and recuperation? Without these five years of tranquility and recuperation, can the Fengyun Iron Cavalry, the Ural Mountain Iron Cavalry, the Qiang Iron Cavalry and the Xiongnu Iron Cavalry go south to fight at the same time? Lu Yi opened his mouth to speak, but Zhao Yun stopped him.

"Brother Yuntian, if we can all put ourselves in the shoes of the Han Dynasty and truly consider the eternal life of the Han Dynasty, can consider the food, clothing and tranquility of the thousands of people in the Han Dynasty, can restrain our own fame and wealth, and can be less selfish and more loyal and trusting, this world will one day be peaceful and peaceful, and the Han will one day be powerful in the four seas."

"In the past, the reason why Emperor Gaozu was able to establish the Han Dynasty and the reason why Emperor Guangwu was able to promote the Han Dynasty was because they had the community, the people, loyalty and faith in their hearts. They have gone through ups and downs, perseverance, and it took them ten, twenty, or even thirty years to finally complete the great cause of the ages. Today, we are the same, and it will take us ten, twenty, or even thirty years to prosper the Han. Since ancient times, there has been no smooth sailing in this world, let alone a great cause that can be accomplished overnight. Any amazing cause requires countless loyal people to go forward and fight bravely. Zhao Yun looked at the ashamed face of Lu Yi, and laughed in a low voice: "Brother Yun Tian is a famous general of the Han Dynasty, and he will definitely be able to leave a name in history like his ancestors in the future." Ko Yi's heart was cheerful, and his blood was boiling for a while, and he had no other thoughts.

Ko Yi reached out and hugged Zhao Yun's shoulder, patted it hard, and was grateful,

"Withdraw, let's go back to Hedong." Zhang Ji, Wang Fang and Huangfu Hong protected the Son of Heaven and retreated to Xinfeng City overnight.

Yuan Shao, Kuai Yue, and Ma Teng led the army to Changmen Pavilion. Han Sui led his army to retreat to the Fengcheng camp. Under the city of Chang'an, tranquility was restored again.

The retreat of the Northern Xinjiang Army was very rapid, and within two days, it retreated a hundred miles and arrived at Wannian City in Fengyi County.

The Western Liang army withdrew faster, reaching the county seat of Fufeng County within two days. Yuan Shao, Kuai Yue, Zhang Ji, and Huang Fuhong, no one thought that the Northern Xinjiang Army and the Western Liang Army would retreat.

Both sides felt a little incredible, and hurriedly sent more scouts to probe around. Shizhong Chongji rushed to the Changmen Pavilion with the order and asked Yuan Shao and Kuai Yue for grain and grass.

Yuan Shao didn't even look at it, he casually threw the holy decree of the Son of Heaven on the case, opened his mouth and began to scold Zhang Ji and Huangfuhong and others.

"Han Sui suddenly rebelled, Lu Bu led the army to attack my flank, the battlefield situation has completely changed, you actually fell into the well, and you will not be saved when you die. I have no food and grass, so you asked Huangfu Jianshou to cut off the meat on his body and feed it to His Majesty. The seed begged bitterly, and Yuan Shao sneered: "Your Majesty is hungry, you can send Your Majesty to me, and I won't give you a grain of grain and grass." Let me feed Zhang Ji's rebels, and then let them beat me, don't even think about it. ”

"Lord Yuan, how did you promise in the first place?" Chongji said angrily,

"Are you going to starve your majesty?"

"At the beginning, I said that after defeating the Northern Xinjiang Army, I can send Your Majesty to Nanyang to avoid trouble." Yuan Shao put his hands behind his back and slowly walked in front of the seed series, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his voice was mocking,

"Of course, if Your Majesty is willing to go to Luoyang, I can also send Your Majesty to Luoyang. But, Lord Seed, listen well, it's Your Majesty, not Your Majesty and Zhang Ji's rebellion. ”

"You ......" never expected Yuan Shao to turn his face immediately.

"Dong Zhuo, Li Dao, Guo Yan, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji, Wang Fang, these rebels have killed how many gate lord clans and officials in Guandong and Guanxi, have you counted?" Yuan Shao pointed to the nose of the seed and said,

"If you look at the ministers in the court, almost all of them are from Guanzhong, and they are all embarrassed with Li Dao, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji and others, and the ministers of the ** who have brought disaster to the country and the people, don't you know? Give them food to eat, I might as well feed it to the dogs. The seed album was humiliated and went away angrily.

I didn't go back. How did he return empty-handed, how could he surrender his life to the Son of Heaven? Chongji thought twice outside the camp, turned around and went into the camp again to find Kuai Yue and Duan Xuan.

The two were very dissatisfied with Yuan Shao's approach, but now that the grain and grass are under Yuan Shao's hands, Yuan Shao said that he would not give it, and they had nothing to do.

Kuai Yue and Duan Xuan discussed for a long time, and finally decided to deduct it from the military rations of their respective armies, and in any case, they could not starve the Son of Heaven and the ministers.

After Yuan Shao heard the news, he didn't blame the two. He ordered that the time for each unit to receive military rations be changed from one in three days to one in one day, and that the amount of military rations in each unit be deducted under the pretext of insufficient food and grass.

Three days later, when the series came to ask for it again, Kuai Yue and Duan Xuan were also wide-eyed and had no choice.

"Master Seed, you better go back and discuss it with Your Majesty, and take refuge in Jingzhou for a while." Kuai Yue wiped his tears and pleaded bitterly,

"If this continues, there will be another war in Guanzhong, how can you guarantee the safety of Your Majesty?" Duan Xuan also persuaded: "With Lord Kuai and me, it is more than enough to protect Your Majesty to Nanyang." If this stalemate continues, we are also very difficult, and we don't know how to save Your Majesty from the sea of suffering. "The seed album sighed,

"If we had known this, we wouldn't have fought the Northern Frontier Army. When the Northern Xinjiang Army was there, we had no worries about food and clothing, and we had food and drink. It's good now, we helped Yuan Shao drive out the Northern Xinjiang Army, but let His Majesty starve to death, what a sin. With tears in his eyes, he staggered back to Xinfeng City.

The Northern Xinjiang Army withdrew from Guanzhong within five days. The iron horse galloped to Kasakazu. The infantry army and some of the soldiers and civilians left on the boat.

The Western Liang army also reached the boundary of Hanyang County in Liangzhou on the sixth day. All parties in Guanzhong were surprised and delighted, and then the atmosphere immediately became tense.

Because of rumors, the Northern Xinjiang Army went to Luoyang. Yuan Shao fidgeted, looking forward to Luoyang's letter day and night.

Tian Feng advised him to be calm and restless, and to reorganize the army with all his might, preparing to attack the rebels and seize Guanzhong.

"The Xiliang people retreated, I can understand it, because Han Sui has no food and grass, but why did the Northern Frontier Army retreat? In the first battle of Chang'an, the Northern Xinjiang Army was well prepared, and its losses were far smaller than ours. We lost nearly 20,000 people, and the corpses of the Northern Frontier Army that we buried in the ground were only more than 5,000. Kojiyi's strength is still there, why give up King Qin? Yuan Shao said worriedly,

"Li Hong's target won't be Luoyang, right?"

"If you withdraw, the Northern Frontier Army will come back immediately." Tian Feng persuaded,

"Li Hong first hit Luoyang to force us to come back to help, but he had few troops and couldn't capture Luoyang, so in desperation, he resorted to such a move. Don't be fooled, don't withdraw. I think this rumor is deliberately spread by the Northern Xinjiang Army. He also discouraged him, believing that this rumor was likely spread by Zhang Ji's rebels, in order to scare Yuan Shao away.

But the rumors became more and more serious, and the entire army knew about it, and for a while, people were panicked, especially those soldiers whose families were in Kanto or whose families were in Luoyang, and they were even more anxious.

At this time, Luoyang also came to complain. Li Hong led the Northern Xinjiang Army to besiege Luoyang again, and the camp of the Northern Xinjiang Army became larger and larger.

Yuan Shao ignored the dissuasion of everyone, and immediately decided to lead 20,000 people to withdraw first. Yuan Tan, Kuai Yue, and Duan Xuan led 20,000 troops to temporarily garrison Guanzhong.

Ma Teng bid farewell to Yuan Shao, led his army to leave Changmen Pavilion, and occupied Fufeng County. In June, heavy rain fell.

Yuan Shao's withdrawal was blocked, he was so worried that he couldn't sleep at night, and he fell ill. July of the second year of Xingping of the Han Kingdom (195 AD).

He came to beg for food again, and knelt on the ground and wept bitterly. Kuai Yue, Duan Xuan, Tian Feng and others also tried hard to persuade each other. Yuan Shao lay on the couch, listening to the sound of rain outside the house, without saying a word.

If Luoyang is lost, I can only stay in Guanzhong temporarily, then, the most important thing now is not to return to Luoyang, but to kill the rebels.

Thinking of this, Yuan Shao turned over and sat up, pointed to Chongji and said: "You go and tell Your Majesty and ask him to issue an edict to the world, announcing that Li Hong, Lu Yi, Lu Bu, Zhao Yun and others are all traitors of the Han Dynasty, and immediately remove them from their official positions and kill their nine clans." When he heard that there was hope, he was overjoyed, and despite the heavy rain, he rushed back to Xinfeng City.

The decree soon came down. The Son of Heaven also issued an order to worship Yuan Shao as the general of the chariot and cavalry, and to participate in the affairs of Shangshu and take charge of state affairs.

"Can this decree be sent to Hedong?" Yuan Shao looked up at the soaking wet seed album and asked with disdain.

"Someone has already been sent." Taneji's waist almost didn't bend to the ground.

"Your name is Huangfu Honglai." Chongji nodded repeatedly, turned around and rushed into the heavy rain again. Huang Fuhong came to the Changmen Pavilion alone.

Yuan Shaoqiang supported his sick body, set up a banquet to invite him, and never mentioned the battlefield. Huang Fuhong was depressed and drunk.

Early the next morning, Yuan Shao gave Huangfuhong ten carts of grain. Ten carts of grain for 20,000 people to eat, isn't this a molestation?

Huang Fuhong didn't dare to quarrel, and when he made a noise, it was estimated that the ten carts of grain were gone. He swallowed his anger and went back.

On the third day, the Son of Heaven asked Huang Fuhong to ask for it again. Huang Fuhong was helpless, and went again with a cheeky face. Yuan Shao was very polite, entertained with good wine and food, and then gave fifteen carts of grain.

Huangfu Hong's lungs exploded. On the fourth day, Huang Fuhong said that he would not go. The Son of Heaven then asked Chongji to accompany Dong Cheng to ask for it.

Dong Cheng is a national relative, and the Son of Heaven thinks that Yuan Shao always wants to give some face. As a result, Yuan Shao didn't give face at all, and ordered someone to beat Dong Cheng half to death, and then called the seed series to carry him back.

The Son of Heaven begged Huang Fuhong to ask for it again. Huang Fuhong said that the minister could not afford to lose this person, so he would not go. The minister remembered that there was still military rations in Tongguan, so go to Tongguan.

Zhang Ji was reluctant to hear it, and he collected that little food like a baby, just in case.

If you give these people three or two meals, what will you do in the future?

"No, I can't. That little food was limited, and it was for the 3,000 defenders stationed at Tongguan and Taolin Fortress. If we eat it up, who will garrison the Peach Forest Fortress? The Taolin fortress was unguarded, and the Northern Xinjiang army rushed in, and we didn't even have Tongguan anymore. Also, even if we get to Tongguan, how long can that bit of food last? What to do in the future? What to do in the winter? In winter, the wild vegetables in the mountains are gone, so we drink the wind. "The Son of Heaven was born of sorrow, and wept aloud,

"If the general is here, and the general is here, why would I and all the Aiqing fall into such a miserable situation." The implication is to blame the ministers who came up with the idea of killing the Northern Xinjiang Army in the first place.

Chongji, Huang Fuhong and others were extremely ashamed.

"Your Majesty, the minister fought for this old life and went to Hedong to beg the general. Ask him for some food. Taiwei Yang Biao knelt down and begged for his life.

The Son of Heaven cried: "I have just issued an order to dismiss them, and if you go, didn't you die in vain?" ”

"So far, the Great General has not killed an innocent minister. The first minister did not pervert the law for bribes, the second did not betray His Majesty, and there was no crime, why did he kill the minister? The general will not kill the ministers. Yang Biao comforted the Son of Heaven and said,

"If the general doesn't give food, the minister will borrow it. Now that the minister's clan has moved to the east of the river, the minister just doesn't want this old face, and he has to borrow a few boatloads of grain from them. The Son of Heaven agreed.

Fifty-three-year-old Yang Biao took a few doormen and walked into the wind and rain without hesitation. Far water can't save the near fire, and the immediate problem still needs to be solved.

The ministers then persuaded Huang Fuhong one after another. Huang Qianhong had no choice but to grit his teeth and beg Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao seemed to be particularly fond of Huangfu Hong, and he agreed. This time he gave Huang Fuhong a hundred carts of grain.

When Huang Fuhong returned to Xinfeng City with food, the whole city was in a sensation. On the city tower, Zhang Ji, Wang Fang, and Yang Feng stood together, their faces ugly.

Jia Xu walked up to Huang Fuhong, who was sweating profusely, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Jianshou, why are you suffering?" Don't you want to live? Huangfu Hong's eyes turned red, and tears rolled out in an instant.

Yuan Shao could hardly believe his eyes, he read Yuan Wei's letter over and over again, and his expression became more and more excited.

Suddenly, he jumped to his feet, raised his hands violently, and shouted, "Oh my God, you've finally got long eyes." Tian Feng, Guo Tu, Shen Pei, Kuai Yue, Yuan Tan and others rushed to the Chinese army's big tent.

Yuan Shao tried his best to suppress his excitement, and walked around the big tent with his hands behind his back, joking affectionately with a few subordinates from time to time.

The crowd was amazed. Yuan Tan cautiously asked, "Dad, are you well?" ”

"Alright, all right." Yuan Shao patted his chest vigorously and laughed,

"We can take Guanzhong and Guanxi right away, and we can return to Luoyang soon." Yuan Shao walked quickly to the back of the desk, looked at the stunned faces, and said with a smile: "I'll tell you an amazing news." Then he vigorously raised the letter in his hand and shouted: "The Yellow River has burst." The crowd was shocked, and there was a dead silence in the tent.

"Which side? Is it the North Embankment or the South Embankment? Tian Feng swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty and asked in a trembling voice.

"North, it's north." Yuan Shao smashed his fist on the case,

"It's the north embankment." Due to excessive excitement, Yuan Shao's body kept shaking, and his hands also shook violently.

There was a thunderous roar of joy in the big tent.

"How many openings did you decide?" Tian Feng asked eagerly. Jizhou is his hometown, the place where he was born and raised.

The bursting of the Yellow River is a huge disaster for Jizhou and the people of Jizhou. There was a great pain in his heart, and tears suddenly welled up.

How many people will die because of this, and how many innocent lives will cry out because of it.

"Twelve, twelve." Yuan Shao waved his hands and shouted loudly. The judge snatched the letter from Yuan Shao's hand and couldn't wait to open it carefully.

Tian Feng also hurriedly came over.

"My lord, Li Hong is miserable now, don't talk about fighting Luoyang, even Kansai can't hold it." Feng Ji smiled triumphantly,

"In order to fight Luoyang, he lost his troops and lost his generals, how do I think he will defend Guanxi?"

"He has soldiers, but the food and grass are exhausted." Geng Bao smiled happily,

"The most serious problem in Hebei is not disaster relief, but the plague. It was the height of summer, and the dead bodies of people and livestock did not have time to bury them, and the plague was about to break out. Every flood is followed by a plague, and this time Hebei will not be spared. After this disaster, Hebei may not be able to turn over in two or three years. Li Hong is done. ”

"yes." Kuai Yue sighed worriedly,

"Li Hong has taken in and resettled millions of displaced people in recent years, and I have always been worried that something will go wrong, but I didn't expect it to happen. Hebei has suffered such a serious disaster this year, how can Li Hong have the ability to help? Millions of displaced people will soon riot when they lack food and clothing. Li Hong is not finished this time, but really finished. ”

"In the past ten years, the Yellow River has burst its embankment every three forks and five times, but it has broken twelve times at a time, which is appalling. It's the first time I've heard of this size. Yuan Tan asked Guo Tudao with a smile,

"Have you heard of it?" Guo Tu smiled bitterly,

"If the Yellow River bursts its banks in 12 places, it will basically be diverted." Then he frowned and said,

"Although there is a lot of rain this year, and the rainy season lasts for a long time, it will not break 12 places at a time. Is it raining heavily downstream? Yuan Shao's smile froze, he suddenly thought of something, turned around and hurriedly went to snatch the letter in his hand,

"Zhengnan, see if you have any, give me the letter."

"Cao Mengde, I'm going to kill you." Suddenly, there was a terrible and terrible cry from inside the big tent. Everyone was horrified and turned their heads to look at the same time.

Tian Feng rushed out of the big tent like a madman.

"Yuan Hao, Yuan Hao, what are you going to do......" The judge Feibu followed behind, shouting loudly,

"You're coming back soon." Yuan Shao held the letter in his hand, and his eyes seemed to be about to erupt with fire. Bu Tuyi lowered his head and laughed bitterly, his laughter full of wordless anger and pain.
