Chapter 59: The Chaser

Even if Xu You killed most of the people in Yuan Shang's mansion, he still didn't ask the location of Yuan Shao's tomb, so it can be judged that these people really don't know.

This is the end of the house, Cao Ang has also seen some clans in the city at this moment, naturally coercion and temptation are all used, and Xu Shu is his staff officer, and this thing is doing quite smoothly.

However, there will always be some stubborn guys who do not cooperate, they will only keep hiding, saying that the surplus food at home has been taken away by the city guard, so they can no longer hand over a grain of food, as soon as this kind of person appears, Xu You will immediately go out, and the result is naturally needless to say.

Hundreds of truckloads of materials continued to be transported out of Yecheng, and then one step ahead of Liyang began to march, at the same time Xu Chu also sent a messenger over, the letter did not complain at all, just wrote a full article of the word "happy".

Xiahoudun, who had been cruising around the periphery, also sent a messenger, but his letter was more content, not only analyzing the current form, hoping that the gunpowder army would withdraw from Yecheng as soon as possible, but also analyzing Xu Du's reaction after hearing the news, so that Cao Ang could explain the reason.

And what Yuan Yun is most concerned about is the 70,000 Yuan Shang army led by the trial match, and it stands to reason that the family members of the trial are all in Yecheng, and it is impossible for him not to rush back, so it has become a very strange thing to take a long detour.

The Gunpowder Army finally began to gradually withdraw from Yecheng, because everyone knew very well that there was no problem in capturing this city, but it would be extremely difficult to defend it.

Not to mention the unstable factors in the city, once the trial arrives, what you have to face is an army of 70,000, and the most troublesome thing is that the gunpowder army now has little ammunition left, and it is impossible to stay for a long time.

Now that Yecheng has been broken, this is definitely not a small blow to Yuan Shang, and the greater benefit is that the big clans in the north have understood a truth, that is, the Yuan Shao family has declined, and if they continue to follow, they will only enter the grave together.

Cao Zhen, as usual, rode around the army with tigers and leopards, and in addition to sweeping away the remaining strength of the enemy army, there were more demonstrations.

Cao Ang led the 5,000 gunpowder army to withdraw from Yecheng one night, but this time there were hundreds of more trucks full of goods and materials, and he was complacent, because the expectations of all the people in Xu Du for the gunpowder army were nothing more than harassment, and they would retreat after declaring force.

Now they have directly defeated Yecheng, and the city defense has been completely destroyed, and now Yecheng can no longer become an important stronghold in the north, and the gunpowder army will become a famous existence in the world, which Cao Ang firmly believes.

Wu Yong followed the army to move, naturally safe and worry-free, but as Yuan Yun arranged, he could only use one meal a day, which could toss his huge fat body enough.

But even in this pain, whenever he saw countless wagons, he would immediately become happy again, although these goods did not have his share, but Cao Ang had already said that this time he would be given a great military merit, which was more satisfactory than any goods.

Although he begged Yuan Yun many times before, hoping to resign from the official position of the imperial court and then enter Cao Ang's new city system, but every time Yuan Yun would give him a very positive answer: Get out!

Wu Yong finally figured out Yuan Yun's thoughts, and all of them went to Xincheng, and there was no strength outside, which was easy to be served by someone, so even if Wu Yong was a small door official, he had to stay in his position, and he might use it one day.

Yuan Yun and Zhang Liao were left at the end of the team by Cao Ang, leading more than 4,000 gunpowder army soldiers to cushion the back, this arrangement made Yuan Yun very unhappy, he wanted to go to the baggage camp the most, where he could sleep every day, and then drink tea and watch the scenery.

Well, now that Zhang Liao is known for his strictness in governing the army, not to mention sleeping lazy, when to eat, when to sleep, and how many miles he walks every day, he is all arranged to die, which makes Yuan Yun feel more like a prisoner.

"Yuan Hou, this time we killed a lot of people in Yecheng, and even Yin Kui committed suicide, why did the handsome man still leave Chen Lin, he didn't have any mercy when he wrote "Yuzhou Wen for Yuan Shao". When Zhang Liao spoke, he couldn't help frowning, because Yuan Yun was only willing to sit in the truck, but he was unwilling to ride a horse, so he could only ride to the side of the truck if he wanted to talk to Yuan Yun.

Before Yuan Yun could answer, he heard Xu Shu, who was also sitting in the truck, smile and said: "The handsome man is planning to hand over Chen Lin to Cao Sikong for processing, it seems that this Chen Lin will not live long, and he will be stabbed in the head when he returns to Xu Du." ”

Yuan Yun's eyes rolled when he heard this, and he said, "Ben Hou doesn't think that Chen Lin will be beheaded, and it is estimated that Cao Sikong will give him an official position or something." ”

Xu Shu immediately smiled and said: "It's impossible, if it is said that Xuande Gong has this mind, I Xu Yuanzhi will still believe a few points, Cao Sikong will forget it, in the first battle of Xuzhou, he was a demon who slaughtered the city." ”

Yuan Yun immediately shook his hand and said: "Cao Sikong is kind-hearted, and he will definitely let Chen Lin go, but Ben Hou thinks that Liu Bei doesn't have such a big heart." ”

Xu Shu immediately became a little displeased, and immediately replied: "Who in the world doesn't know that Xuande is benevolent, Cao Sikong is cruel and suspicious, why should Yuan Hou argue with me on this matter, this is a certain thing." ”

Yuan Yun smiled lightly, and pretended to be unconvinced: "Ben Hou is sure that Cao Sikong will let Chen Lin go, if Brother Yuan doesn't believe it, how about we bet?" ”

Xu Shu was also sulking now, and immediately replied: "Bet on betting, but I don't know what Yuan Hou will take out to gamble?" ”

Yuan Yun snorted indignantly and said, "If Chen Lin is killed in Xudu, I will give more dividends to Xinye Yicheng." ”

Xu Shu was overjoyed when he heard this, Yuan Yun was a young man after all, and Cao Cao was his father-in-law, so his own people must be towards his own people, but in this way, he earned an extra 10% dividend for Xinye for no reason.

Today is simply pie in the sky, because Chen Lin wrote "Yuzhou Wen for Yuan Shao", the words in it are no longer crimes, but extreme insults, Cao Cao Yan can endure this breath, so Chen Lin will definitely die.

After thinking about it, Xu Shu smiled heartily, then stretched out a palm and said: "If Xu Shu loses, I am willing to teach in Luoyang Academy for three more years, just on the same level as the one given by Yuan Hou, so it is possible to make a bet?" ”

Syllable!

Yuan Yun happily high-fived Xu Shu, even if this matter is decided, now he is really happy, Xu Shu will be in Luoyang Academy for six years, and once these six years have passed, it is difficult to say whether Liu Bei is still alive.

Happy, quite happy, bullying a super strategist like Xu Shu with the historical knowledge recorded by the chip in his brain, although he has no sense of accomplishment, he just feels very comfortable.

After Xu Shu finished high-fives, he suddenly noticed the evil taste on Yuan Yun's face, and suddenly felt surprised in his heart, he didn't know what medicine was sold in the other party's gourd, but he faintly regretted it, and felt as if he had suffered a loss.

Zhang Liao saw that the two had made an agreement, and he was about to talk about the next march, but at this time, he saw a fast horse meteor coming.

When the knight arrived, he did not dismount, but remained on his horse, clenching his fists and ready to speak.

Yuan Yun and Xu Shu immediately felt that something was wrong, this knight was obviously a scout sent out in the morning, he didn't get off the horse at the moment, it proved that the matter was urgent, he had to ensure that he was on horseback at any time, so that he could give orders faster, according to the rules of the army, he could only do so if he found a very big threat.

The scout clenched his fists and immediately said: "General Qiyu, a large amount of dust has been raised behind us, according to estimates, there should be tens of thousands of horses, and at this moment they have been divided into three teams, ready to outflank us, and the speed is also extremely fast, it should be all cavalry." ”

"Tell the sergeants to slow down their march, prepare their arms, and send scouts to release baits to lure them in after them." Zhang Liao immediately gave an order.

After the scouts went down to give the order, Zhang Liao said to Yuan Yun: "The trial has arrived, but are they too fast, I thought that they would be slow for half a month after walking a long way, but I didn't expect it to be five or six days ahead of schedule, fortunately, we attacked the city quickly, otherwise I am afraid that the whole army will be surrounded." ”

Yuan Yun frowned when he heard Zhang Liao's words, and Zhang Liao ordered to slow down the march, knowing that he couldn't outrun the opponent's horse legs at all, so he decided to stay to resist in order to buy Cao Ang more time.

After all, almost all the ammunition of the Gunpowder Army is now equipped with his own 4,000 people, which means that Cao Ang has no strength on his side.

"We need to find a good place to camp as soon as possible, otherwise tens of thousands of cavalry on the other side will attack, and it will be difficult for our four thousand people to resist." Xu Shu has also transformed into the appearance of a military advisor, but his brows are deeply locked, and he obviously can't think of any good countermeasures for a while.

Yuan Yun used the chip to check the terrain, and immediately proposed: "Continue ten miles to the south, there is a tributary of the Zhanghe River, we only need to cross the river, we can defend on the other bank." ”

Zhang Liao was not surprised that Yuan Yun was so clearly shaped, because it was like this before, no matter where he went, Yuan Yun could always quickly tell the nearby landforms, sometimes although it would be slightly different, but it was roughly the same, when asked Yuan Yun why he knew, he only said that he had been to Master Zuo Ci in the past, and he didn't know how many places their master and apprentice had been, and they could actually write down each place.

Quickly set the direction of progress, and at the same time sent a fast horse to inform Cao Ang, Zhang Liao then turned back to Yuan Yun's side, and then hugged his fists and said: "Yuan Hou quickly took his own soldiers to leave, here I Zhang Liao is enough." ”

Yuan Yun really wanted to leave immediately, now it was obviously a surrounded posture, the other party had 70,000 horses, and his own side had 4,000, even if the gunpowder army was powerful, it would not be able to deal with it, and escaping was of course the best choice.

However, these 4,000 gunpowder troops were the first to join, and he, Yuan Yun, had long been familiar with everyone, and it was really difficult to let him abandon these people now.

"If the eldest husband dies, he will die, how can he abandon his brother and run away, General Zhang Liao doesn't need to say it anymore, Ben Hou decided to stay." After Yuan Yun finished speaking, his eyes also became resolute, although he always looks like a gentleman on weekdays, but at this time, he will become a real man.

Zhang Liao nodded, no longer consoling anything, but Xu Shu was a little surprised, what he heard from Liu Bei before, they all said that Yuan Yun was a despicable villain who was afraid of death, and now it seems that this statement is not right.

After more than an hour, the gunpowder army finally reached its intended position, but when it was ready to cross the river, it had to discard some large trucks and burn them.

The speed of the enemy's approach was very fast, and the gunpowder army had only crossed the river with more than 1,000 men, and the dust and smoke had already risen behind him, and the rumbling hooves of horses could almost crush the earth, and 70,000 horses were finally killed in front of him.
