Volume 2 Heroes in Troubled Times Chapter 7 Wind and Thunder Stirring Section 26

Chapter 7 Wind and Thunder Turmoil Section 26 Li Hong and Jia Xu and others discussed for a long time to no avail. The war had just begun, and many things could not be finalized, and it was difficult to decide whether the army would attack Hanoi County or take the opportunity to recover Thanh Chau.

But no matter where it is attacked, one thing is certain: the purpose of the army's operation must be in line with the main purpose of the imperial court to pacify the world as soon as possible.

Li Hong asked Jia Xu to write a recital to the court immediately, and he wanted to hear the opinions of the eldest princess and the ministers of the court.

Then he ordered Fu Gan to urgently write to Liyi of the capital and Zhang Yan of Yecheng to spread the news that the Battle of Dongguang had begun, and to supervise the two adults, Liyi and Zhang Yan, to find ways to hold back Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, and strive to completely defeat the rebels on the north bank of the Yellow River.

"In addition, you tell Lu Yi and Zhang Yan to quickly spread the news of Yuan Shu's treachery and attack on the Central Plains, and shake the military morale of the Northern Expeditionary Army."

"I wonder if Yuan Shu has already done it?" Tian Chou said with a smile,

"When I met with Yuan Yao yesterday, he repeatedly instructed me to tell him as soon as I had news, and he seemed to be in a hurry."

"Regardless of whether this matter is true or not, rumors will spread, and this time we can only be sorry for Yuan Shu." Li Hong said with a smile,

"Once the rumors spread, the rebels will definitely be panicked, and Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Liu Biao, Liu Bei and others will be even more suspicious of each other, coupled with Tian Kai's defeat in Dongguang, the rebels will only retreat. As long as the rebels retreat and the threat of Xindu City is lifted, the morale of the people in Jizhou can quickly stabilize, which is of great benefit to the Battle of Ganling. Jia Xu, Tian Chou and the others nodded again and again.

"Zitai, you immediately write to Lord Zhong Xuan, asking him to organize manpower to go south as soon as possible, and send the grain and grass to the area of the Jiangshui River to prepare for the Battle of Ganling."

"Shall I go to the capital city in person?" Tian Chou had just finished saying this, and a beautiful face suddenly appeared in his mind.

Tian Chou trembled in his heart, and the next words were not said. Li Hong noticed the change in his eyes and hurriedly asked, "Is there anything wrong with the grain and grass?" Tian Chou shook his head weakly,

"With Lord Zhong Xuan sitting in the rear, how can there be a problem with grain and grass? The general is too worried, I just want to supervise it myself. ”

"Now is the critical moment of the war, and the army's grain and grass need to be arranged by you, and the responsibility is heavy, so don't go anywhere." Li Hong waved his hand vigorously, and his tone was unquestionable,

"I believe in Master Zhong Xuan, he can do all this." Tian Chou's face flushed, and his expression was a little embarrassed. Jia Xu glanced at him thoughtfully, and a smile slowly lifted from the corner of his mouth.

Jia Xu prepared a recital and sent it to the general for a look. At this time, Li Hong was the only one standing quietly in front of the map in the big tent.

Seeing Jia Xu walk in, Li Hong called him to his side,

"Master Jia, if Yan Liang annihilated 45,000 rebels on the line from Panhe to Dongguang, then the rebels on the battlefield in the Central Plains would only have less than 60,000 horses left."

"At this time, the 30,000 men of Koyi pursued from the north to the south, and the more than 90,000 people of Yan Liang outflanked them from the east and south, as long as we sent another army to kill the line of Qingyuan and Guantao, then the rebels would be completely surrounded by us." Li Hong sighed,

"This strategy of total annihilation is too tempting." Jia Xu looked at Li Hong in surprise,

"The general is still reluctant?"

"If we still have the strength to go south to the Central Plains after the rebels are completely annihilated, then in two years, we may really be able to pacify the world." Li Hong's eyes showed two scorching lights, and his face was full of greed,

"Why can't we take a chance?"

"General......" Jia Xu hesitated for a long time, but still persuaded him,

"Before leaving, Lord Yu Peng repeatedly instructed me to be sure to advise the general at the appropriate time. Pacifying the world is not something that can be solved by a war, it is far more complicated than fighting a big war. The battle was won, but the world was lost, and the battle was still lost. Li Hong closed his eyes, shook his head again and again, and let out a long sigh.

At this moment, Jia Xu suddenly found that Li Hong's upright body was a little bent. The responsibility of the great general was too great, and he was overwhelmed.

"General, we can annihilate these 60,000 rebels, but we will pay a great price for it." Jia Xu bowed slightly and advised again.

These 60,000 rebels will definitely have to be grouped together in order to withdraw safely, and we cannot take advantage of the terrain to divide and surround them.

Once our intentions are revealed, they will inevitably abandon their retreat and rely on the city to hold on, and we will force our attack with 120,000 or more men and horses, and the price will be conceivable.

We have only twice as many troops, and our losses will be very large, which will not only prevent us from moving south this year, but will also delay the time for our army to move south in the future.

The general may want to besiege them without attacking them, and eat them in one bite when they are exhausted, but this will take more time.

For such a long time, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu had already swept across the Central Plains and gained a firm foothold. With the power of Yuan Valve, it should not be too difficult to use a winter to consolidate the Central Plains.

In this way, the world has formed a situation of confrontation between the two powers, which is even more unfavorable to us. For this Jizhou war, Hebei mobilized all its forces.

Li Wei, the great Si Nong, has written several times to inform the court of the financial situation. His meaning is obvious, he is urging the general to end the Jizhou War as much as possible before October.

This time we called in an army of 145,000, and if we add Pound in Guanzhong, it is an army of 150,000.

This time, in order to minimize the losses in Hebei, we relocated more than one million people at one time and left nearly 10 million mu of fields fallow in dozens of counties in three counties.

The huge expenditure of Hebei's financial endowment can be seen from this. It has been more than three months since this big war was fought, and Hebei's financial endowment has been difficult to support, and we simply have no ability to continue to fight in the south this year.

After the end of this war, in order to recover its vitality, Hebei needs at least one to two years to recuperate, and it must be smooth and rainy, and there can be no more disasters.

But now that there is a Liaodong rebellion in Youzhou, the time for us to go south to quell the rebellion will definitely be postponed. If the Liaodong rebellion could not be quickly quelled, it would have too much impact on Hebei.

The Hu people in the desert may be ambitious because of this, and they will take advantage of our southward journey to the Central Plains to regenerate right and wrong.

If the rebellion of the Biansaihu people breaks out one after another, the great cause of pacifying the world will suffer a serious blow. At present, Hebei is facing many difficulties, and even if we win this battle, we will not be able to improve the grim situation in Hebei, nor will we be able to immediately go south to quell the rebellion.

Since we can't go south to the Central Plains in the short term, then we must curb the growth of Yuan Valve's strength, so we must put Cao Cao, Liu Biao, and Liu Bei back intact.

The strength of Cao Cao and others was damaged by this battle, which was a good opportunity for Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu to occupy the Central Plains and Jingzhou.

But how could Cao Cao and the others be willing to tie their hands? Therefore, next year's war in the Central Plains will become more and more vigorous, and we just need to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, wait for the situation to develop, and once the time is ripe, we can go south to quell the rebellion.

"Do you know how much temptation it is for me to annihilate the rebels? Do you know how much resistance I have to take when I order the army to let the rebels go? After listening to Jia Xu's persuasion quietly, Li Hong asked with a wry smile.

Jia Xu's opinion is clear to Li Hong. He has fought for more than ten years, and it is actually cruel for him to give up this opportunity in vain, but he is now shouldering the heavy responsibility of revitalizing the society, and he cannot but consider the situation in the world.

Jia Xu was silent. He understood Li Hong's feelings, but the development of the current situation was too difficult to predict, and this battle could not completely annihilate the rebels in any case.

Who can be sure that the Yuan brothers will not join forces? Who can guarantee that the Yuan brothers will still kill each other in the face of a huge threat from Hebei?

With Yuan Shao's talent and Yuan Shu's shrewdness, the two brothers would never do such a stupid thing. Once the Yuan brothers controlled the seven prefectures and counties south of the Yellow River, it would be a fool's dream to turn the tide with the power of the three states in Hebei.

But putting Cao Cao and the others back is tantamount to letting the tiger return to the mountain. After these people returned to the Central Plains, it was certain that they would fight.

But once the Hebei army moved south, these people were bound to join forces again. In the future counterinsurgency war, the losses suffered by the Hebei army will definitely be several times greater than those now.

Everyone can predict the consequences of putting Cao Cao and the others back, but not everyone can predict the consequences of annihilating Cao Cao and the others.

In other words, because Cao Cao and the others have been put back, there are no facts to verify this prediction, and this is the reason why Li Hong is extremely worried.

The general was obviously able to annihilate the rebels and win a complete victory, but he resolutely gave up, why? Some people may think that the Great General had no intention of reviving the Great Han at all.

The purpose of the general to let Cao Cao and others go was to seize Hebei and achieve his own hegemony, which would make some people more determined to believe that the general had the intention of usurping rebellion.

Some may think that the general is incompetent and has given up an opportunity to quickly pacify the world. The prestige of the Great General may be questioned and challenged.

The consequence of this is a crisis of confidence in the general. Although the general has the power of military decision-making, he has never had this power alone.

He had always made all his military decisions to the Son of Heaven and the Imperial Court, and he only implemented them after obtaining the approval of the Son of Heaven and the Imperial Court.

This was one of his efforts to gain the trust of the Son of Heaven and the imperial court, and he firmly believed that only the Son of Heaven, the imperial court, and the ministers in the imperial court trusted each other and worked together to accomplish the great cause of Zhongxing.

The general did not want to destroy this trust because of this battle, and then affect the great cause of Zhongxing. The candles in the tent were dancing gently, and the two still figures flickered and flickered with the flickering of the candles, as heavy and dim as their current mood.

"When the general first advocated crossing the river to the south and fighting on the outer front, did he want to avoid this kind of trouble?" Li Hong lowered his head and smiled bitterly.

Jia Xu looked at the music in his hand,

"General, do you want to rewrite this note?" Li Hong shook his hand,

"Don't write it. This kind of thing is indescribable. ”

"General, eldest princess......"

"What's the use of Your Highness trusting me alone?" Li Hong pointed to his chest,

"None of us can save the community, so we need the Son of Heaven and the court, the officials and the army, and the loyalty and trust of all." Jia Xu looked at Li Hong with admiration and had nothing to say.

Since following Li Hong, Jia Xu immediately knew the reason for Dong Zhuo's failure. Li Hong and Dong Zhuo are both martial artists, but Li Hong trusts the people around him, and he stubbornly believes that the success of anything is the result of the efforts of everyone, and he is only one of them.

He was like an ordinary soldier, conscientiously doing what he was supposed to do. Dong Zhuo and Li Hong are the opposite, he thinks he is the master, and he fails.

"General, what kind of person do you think Cao Cao is?" Li Honggang wanted to answer Jia Xu, but a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and he suddenly thought of something.

He stretched out his hand to pat Jia Xu and said with a smile: "Cao Cao can gain a foothold in the Central Plains of the Land of the Four Wars, it can be seen that he is more powerful than me, more powerful than Yuan Shao, and he will definitely be able to escape from our encirclement." Jia Xu smiled knowingly.

"General Koji is brave and good at fighting, and once he begins to pursue, the target must be Guantao. Winning the pavilion pottery also severed the connection between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao. Cao Cao couldn't fly with his wings, so shouldn't the general let Lord Tian rush to Xindu City as soon as possible? Li Hong didn't nod, he thought about it carefully.

When to take Qingyuan and Guantao is directly related to whether the army can inflict heavy damage on Yuan Shao. If Yuntian (Liyi) had taken the two cities too soon, Yuan Shao might have turned around and retreated across the Yellow River in desperation, and Cao Cao's last chance of life would have been gone.

For Yuan Shao, he is currently unstable and does not want Yuan Shu to occupy the Central Plains alone, so he must save Cao Cao and let Cao Cao deal with Yuan Shu.

When he stabilized Guanzhong, he could do his best to send troops to sweep the Central Plains while Cao Cao and Yuan Shu were attacking each other.

The key issue at hand is what kind of time to choose to occupy the pavilion, if the time is right, not only can Cao Cao be released, but also Yuan Shao can be contained.

This really requires a person who understands his mind to rush to Shinto Castle immediately and control the speed of Koji's pursuit without leaving a trace.

"Okay, tell Zitai to rush to Xindu City immediately." Li Hong immediately thought that he had rejected Tian Chou's proposal during the discussion just now, which made Tian Chou very embarrassed.

"I vetoed Zitai's proposal just now, and it seems to embarrass him."

"Hehe......" Jia Xu said with a smile,

"Lord Tian was very embarrassed just now, as if it wasn't for this matter."

"What else?" Li Hong asked strangely.

"The last time Lord Tian came to Shin Capital City, he met a beautiful talented woman." Jia Xule said,

"He told me about it a few days ago, and he was full of praise for the words made by this talented woman."

"He wants to find a chance to go back and have a look?" Li Hong didn't care and asked casually.

"Maybe. After this battle, Lord Tian is about to return to the court, and there is no chance. As soon as Jia Xu said this, Li Hong immediately fell in love, Tian Chou is very old, but he is still unmarried for various reasons, which makes Li Hong very sorry.

"Who's from it? Did Zitai tell you specifically? ”

"Nope." Jia Xu shook his head,

"It's not hard to guess, though. Before Zitai left Xindu, he had been a guest at Zhen Yan's mansion, and this talented woman should be a member of the Zhen family. ”

"The Zhen family?" Li Hong frowned and took two steps back and forth in front of Jia Xu,

"Is the Zhen family suitable?" Jia Xu held the scroll and stood beside Li Hong, without saying a word. Li Hong turned his head to look at Jia Xu, and felt that Jia Xu was really difficult to answer about this matter.

At present, the power of the Cui valve in Jizhou in the imperial court is very large, and if the Zhen family can be pulled into the northern Xinjiang lineage, it will be very beneficial to restrain the power of the Cui valve.

So he whispered to Jia Xu: "Master Jia, you can do me a favor and investigate this matter privately." If the woman does not have a marriage contract, and the Zhen family and Zitai like it, I will ask my wife to come to Jizhou in person. Jia Xu was taken aback, he didn't expect Tian Chou to be so important in the general's heart, and he would go thousands of miles to let his wife come to the matchmaking in person.

Li Hong obviously saw Jia Xu's shock, and he explained with a smile: "Zitai is not small, if it is suitable, they will get married after the end of the war, so the two ladies must come." As for the big media, I think I'll trouble you and Master Zhong Xuan. Jia Xu was so grateful for a moment that he didn't know what to say.

The general trusts himself and Zhong Xuan like this, and he will sacrifice his life to repay him.

"Let me tell you, if this woman is already engaged, you must not use the name of me, a general, to oppress people." Li Hong reminded with a smile,

"Good things turn into bad things, and I'm going to trouble you." Jia Xu shook his head again and again, his face full of spring breeze. In the early hours of the morning, the battlefield of Xinhe.

The fierce sound of war drums suddenly tore through the silence of the night, and the sky-high flames illuminated both sides of the new river. The Yanzhou army attacked, and a dense stream of arrows rained down on the south bank of the New River like a storm.

The Northern Xinjiang Army had already prepared, hundreds of ballistae and 2,000 strong bows to fight back, and the embankment on the north bank of the Xinhe River was soon filled with the corpses of Yanzhou soldiers.

One by one, the soldiers who crossed the river were planted in the river, and the blood stained the river red. Yan Liang did not hesitate at all, and immediately ordered Zhang Zhen, Qin Yi, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao and others to lead an army of foot soldiers to attack from behind the Yanzhou army, and ordered Zhao Yun, Lu Bu, Jiang Wu and others to lead iron cavalry to attack from the left and right flanks of the Yanzhou army.

The Xinhe battlefield suddenly shook the sky, and flesh and blood flew sideways. The Yanzhou army held out for an hour and then completely collapsed.

The soldiers rushed to the wolves, desperately fleeing for their lives. Yan Liang still has that order, kill me, until I kill it all.

At dawn, the battle ended, destroying 10,000 enemies and losing 800 self-losses, and the record was impressive, but Yan Liang was very unhappy, because the bodies of Xiahoudun and Li Dian were not found.

The two Yanzhou military commanders escaped under the cover of darkness. In two battles in a row, letting the enemy general escape in a row, Yan Liang's face was a little unbearable.

Yan Liang scolded angrily, and then ordered Gao Ran and Gao Shun to join forces and continue to pursue the enemy in the southwest direction.

Ordered Zhao Yun and others to lead 30,000 iron horsemen along the big river and go directly south to the plain city. Ordered LΓΌ Bu to take 10,000 iron horsemen to cross the Qianshui River in the north, and then insert it west along the north bank of the Jiangshui River to Xiucheng, and then cross the Jiangshui River from the south of Xiucheng to the Pan River to cut off the retreat of the rebels.

He led the rest of the army to follow. When Gao Shun led the army across the river, the scouts of Gao Shun's department came to report continuously.

The Xuzhou Army and the Jingzhou Army were encamped on the south bank of the Dagu River, showing no signs of retreat. Yan Liang and the generals were puzzled.

The fighting in the direction of the new river in the early hours of this morning was very fierce, and it is impossible for the rebels not to know, why did they not withdraw?

Did you give up the retreat? Yan Liang made a quick decision and led an army of 50,000 foot cavalry to kill the Dagu River with great momentum.

Ordered Zhao Yun and LΓΌ Bu to temporarily garrison Xinhe, and if the rebels insisted on not withdrawing, they would participate in the battle of the Dagu River.

In the morning, Dagu River. Wei Yan carefully read the letter of persuasion, then put it on the desk, and looked up at Xiahoudun and Li Dian who were sitting opposite,

"Are the two adults staying here, or hurrying back to the capital of letters?" Xiahoudun smiled bitterly. He and Li Dian took advantage of the hard battle of the army to quietly cross the river and flee, losing face and leaving home.

The Yanzhou army lost its command and then collapsed, and on the way to escape, they clearly heard the earth-shattering howls of the Yanzhou army soldiers under the trampling of iron hooves.

"Lord Wei, can you rely on these tens of thousands of people to hold back the Northern Xinjiang Army?" Li Dian said worriedly,

"The Northern Frontier Army is crazy, they won't sit down with you and talk slowly. Now that the Northern Frontier Army is in a hurry to kill the Ganling Kingdom and cut off the retreat of the main force of our army, they will not give you time. Wei Yan smiled, pointing to the persuasion letter on the case,

"Yan Liang's army has not yet arrived at the Dagu River, and the letter of surrender has arrived, which shows that he will indeed not give me time. But now, apart from this method, what other strategies can we successfully escape from the pursuit of the Northern Frontier Army? ”

"It was a mistake to divide troops to attack Nanpi." Xiahoudun smashed his fist on the case, furious.

Although he knew that his eldest brother had done all this, he still couldn't control his anger in the face of the fiasco of the annihilation of the whole army, thinking of the terrible screams in the night.

Wei Yan was very calm, with a faint smile on his face,

"I don't have any war horses here, only baggage horses, and I can give them to you if you need them." Xiahoudun glanced at him, stood up suddenly, bowed deeply, and then turned around and walked out of the big tent.

Li Dian slowly got up, reached out and patted Wei Yan's shoulder,

"Lord Wei, good luck." Wei Yan didn't get up to see him off, he sat behind the desk, silently watching the frustrated and painful backs of the two disappear outside the big tent.

In the morning, the Four Girls Temple reduced the river. In seven hours, the Xuzhou army miraculously ran for 120 miles.

After dawn, the Xuzhou army was exhausted, but from Zang Ba to ordinary soldiers, everyone gritted their teeth and persevered.

"My lord, we ran over, and this place is not only sixty miles from the Xinhe battlefield, but one hundred and twenty miles." After Wu Dun saw the place clearly, he hurriedly found Zang Ba and said breathlessly,

"From here, cross the river to the south, and sixty miles away is the Maji River. After crossing the Horse Cheek River, we entered Plains County. Zang Ba was overjoyed, and a heart suddenly fell into his stomach,

"Quick, give the order to rest and prepare to cross the river." He looked back into the distance, and tore open his leather armor, revealing his sweaty chest.

"No matter how fast the iron cavalry of the Northern Xinjiang Army is, it can't catch up with me." The soldiers of the Xuzhou army thundered with joy, and one by one they lay on the ground and fell asleep.

They were so tired that they almost collapsed. Zang Ba, Sun Guan, Wu Dun, and Yin Li did not rest, and they discussed where to cross the Yellow River and capture Qingzhou after crossing the Mache River.

There are three counties on the south bank of the Yellow River in this section of Qingzhou. The easternmost point is the country of Le'an, the middle is the country of Jinan, and the westernmost point is the southern counties of Pingyuan County.

Gaotang City in the southern part of Pingyuan County is currently supplying grain and grass to the Qingzhou army, where there are thousands of troops in Qingzhou.

Hitting it first is easy to expose intentions and delay the time for the army to capture the entire territory of Qingzhou. Neither Jinan nor Le'an had any significant goals, and even if they were defeated, they would not be able to quickly sweep the entire territory of Qingzhou.

"Hit Linzi." Zang Ba said,

"Linzi is the largest city in Qingzhou and the location of the Qingzhou Thorn History Department. Tian Kai has been staying in Linzi for several years and working hard, there is plenty of grain and grass, the defensive force is thin, and it is close to Mount Tai, which is convenient for us to contact the Yellow Turban Army, which can be attacked and defended, and is the best target for attack. ”

"Do you mean that after crossing the Yellow River, Le'an Guo will directly attack Linzi?" Sun Guan asked,

"Do you want to send someone to contact Guan Cheng and Guan Hai first? Linzi City is tall and strong, and our 10,000 people may not be able to take it immediately. ”

"We need the help of Guan Cheng and Guan Hai." Zang Ba nodded,

"You rushed to Mount Tai day and night, and asked them to lead the army to Linzi City to join me." In the afternoon, the Northern Xinjiang Army advanced to the north bank of the Dagu River.

Wei Yan was alone and crossed the river to meet Yan Liang. Yan Liang was polite to him and dismounted to greet him. After the two exchanged a few words, Yan Liang asked strangely: "Listening to your accent, it seems that you are not from the south." In Yan Liang's impression, southerners should speak like Li Wei.

Wei Yan said with a smile, I am from Nanyang. Although Nanyang belongs to Jingzhou, it is in the north of Jingzhou, close to Sili, and hundreds of miles away from the Yangtze River, which has nothing to do with the south.

Yan Liang saw that he was heroic, tall and strong, and he was a little arrogant when he spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly, and he liked it a little in his heart, and he couldn't help but be a lot kinder in his words.

"You've decided?" Wei Yan shook his head,

"Many generals of the Xuzhou Army and the Jingzhou Army disagree and are arguing, hoping that the adults can give some time. After all, as a military general, surrendering in battle is not a glorious thing, and it takes time to convince. For example, my lord, you are a world-famous warrior, when you decide to surrender, do you need time to think about it? Yan Liang's face sank, and he wanted to scold him when he opened his mouth, but suddenly felt that what he said was right.

In addition to bravery, the most important thing for a warrior is loyalty. Surrendering to the enemy is a betrayal of one's loyalty, and this is indeed difficult to accept.

"You go back and tell them, tell them to think carefully, whether they are loyal to Liu Biao and Liu Bei, or loyal to the Han Dynasty and loyal to today." Wei Yan bowed down and agreed,

"Can you give us a day?" Yan Liang sneered,

"If you come tomorrow, or say this, or do you want me to give you a day, do I still have to promise you?" Wei Yan showed a hint of panic in his eyes.

"I'll give you an hour." Yan Liang pointed at the opposite shore with the horsewhip in his hand,

"An hour later, I started attacking." Then he roared,

"Command the ministries to prepare for the attack." Wei Yan returned to the camp dejectedly. He didn't expect Yan Liang to be so strong, as if he had seen through his plan, pressing forward step by step, not giving himself any chance at all.

The people in the camp had already realized that it was an empty camp, an empty camp without any soldiers, and they were very frightened and helplessly waiting for death to come, and many began to weep.

At this time, even if you escape, it is a dead end, it is better to stay in this camp and look for a glimmer of hope.

Fifty guards stood outside the gate to greet Wei Yan. That's all the strength of this battalion.

"My lord......" The captain of the pro-guard team wanted to ask about the result. Wei Yan sighed, turned to look at the overwhelming Northern Frontier Army on the other side, and shook his head bitterly,

"We don't have a chance." Fifty soldiers bowed their heads in grief.

"Lord Wen, can they withdraw to Ganling Kingdom?"

"No way." Wei Yan looked up at the floating clouds in the sky, and his heart twitched,

"If I can delay until tomorrow afternoon, give them two days......" Wei Yan couldn't go on, tears gradually blurred his eyes,

"I can't help them anymore."

"Shall we surrender then?" Surrender? When Wei Yan heard these two words, his whole body trembled involuntarily.

Loyal? Who should I be loyal to? Who should I be loyal to now?

"After an hour, we surrender." At dusk, Wei Yan crossed the river again to meet Yan Liang. After listening to Wei Yan's narration, Yan Liang laughed angrily,

"Good boy, let me waste a day in vain, okay, good ......" Yan Liang turned around abruptly and roared loudly,

"Order Zhao Yun and Lu Bu to leave immediately."

"Urgently inform the general that Zang Ba has fled to Pingyuan County with 10,000 Xuzhou troops, and Wen Ping is rapidly retreating to Ganling Country with 10,000 Jingzhou troops."

"Order Zhang He, Zhang Liao, Gao Lan, Zhang Zhen, and Qin Yi to lead the army to immediately cross the Jiangshui River north."

"Tell Gao Shun, leave it to him here, let's go......" Yan Liangfei got on his horse and galloped away without looking back.

Wei Yan wiped the beads of sweat on his face, his face was like ashes, he thought he was dead, but Yan Liang let him go, and left angrily.

He felt someone walk up to him, and then heard a gentle voice,

"I'm Gao Shun." Wei Yan gasped violently, turned around slowly, and barely squeezed out a smile,

"I'm Wei Yan." Gao Shun reached out and patted him on the back,

"You're good, you're good...... Would you like to stay and continue to lead your baggage battalion? Wei Yan looked at Gao Shun in disbelief and in surprise.

"If you don't want to, I can send someone to send you to the general's line." Gao Shun smiled,

"The Great General must appreciate you. You are the first one who can make a mess of our tiger head general. Wei Yan smiled bitterly, bowed down and said, "If the adults trust me, I will continue to lead this baggage camp." ”

"Do you still want to save the Jingzhou Army?" Gao Shun looked at him and asked suddenly. Wei Yan was shocked and didn't dare to speak for a long time.

"If you want to save them, just follow me honestly, maybe you still have a chance." Jump to
