It turned out that Wang Yan had already received a letter from Wen Zhao, asking him to lead his troops to retreat.

It's just that Jizhou's civil and military forces are not mediocre people, and in order to prevent them from pursuing at the end of the line, Wang Yan set such a plan to disturb the enemy's withdrawal of troops.

Walking around the Yuan army camp, it was a cavalry that beat the war drums. As for the war drums in the city in the second half of the night, it was Wang Yan who tied the sheep to the war drums and let them beat the drums with their hooves.

The Guanzhong army in the city took advantage of the harassment of Yuan's army and withdrew from Wu'an County.

Because the sound of war drums in Wu'an City has been ringing non-stop, no one thought that the Guanzhong Army in the city would withdraw like this. So it dragged on until now that the scouts discovered the details of the city.

At this time, Wang Yan had already led the Guanzhong army, and he didn't know where he had withdrawn.

Yuan Shao woke up, and after hearing the news reported by the scout, he immediately felt that he had been tricked and was furious.

Yuan Shao gritted his teeth and said: "To rectify the three armies, we must catch up with the thieves, and Hugh must let them withdraw from Wei County." ”

Frustrated, he hurriedly admonished: "The thieves and generals lead the troops to advance and retreat with evidence, and they are definitely not very human, and they are also trapped in the camp and are brave and good at fighting, which should not be underestimated." ”

"Now our army is tired from a long battle, the army has no fighting spirit, and there is not enough food and grass. It is foolish to think that it is better to pay attention to the war situation in the north first, and then rest and recuperate. ”

Although Yuan Shao was resentful in his heart, he also knew that the words of the frustrated professor were right, so he reluctantly accepted the frustrated professor's suggestion.

After calming down, Yuan Shao suddenly asked, "Why did the Guanzhong army suddenly evacuate Wu'an?" ”

He replied: "Liu Xuande has lost Yuzhou, Chen Wenzhao has lost his minions, and we have no worries." If he insisted on leading his troops into Jizhou, he would definitely break out into a large-scale war with the lord, which was not what Chen Wenzhao wanted to see. ”

"In today's situation, although Chen Wenzhao is slightly stronger than the lord, it is difficult to annex Jizhou. Now that the lord has led the army back to the division, he naturally has to order Wang Yan to withdraw his troops. ”

Yuan Shao was still indignant in his heart, and scolded: "I and that Chen Wenzhao are still nominally allies, and he actually attacked me like this, it is really hateful!" ”

The angel came to persuade Yuan and Liu to quit the army, but Yuan Shao blatantly refused. Although the angel was bribed by Yuan Shao, he said that he would say good things for Yuan Shao.

In fact, Wen Zhao didn't care about the angels at all, as long as Yuan Shao refused to reconcile and still led the troops to attack Yuzhou, he would have a reason to send troops to Jizhou.

Therefore, this time Chen Xu sent troops under the pretext that Yuan Shao did not obey the emperor's orders, and was ambitious to annex the rest of the princes and attack the Han clan.

Although anyone with a discerning eye can see that Chen Xu's ambition is not under Yuan Shao. However, Chen Xu relied on the advantage of the Son of Heaven, but he could blatantly expand his power and serve the Son of Heaven to please him.

Yuan Shao calmed down his mind and asked, "In this way, Zhao Yun of Changshan County, as well as Zhang Liao of Youzhou, will also lead the troops to withdraw and merge the state?" ”

Frustrated nodded and said, "If what I expected, these two may have withdrawn by now. ”

"Now Jizhou has lost a large number of people, and many of the ripe crops in the fields have either been snatched away by the Guanzhong soldiers or burned to the ground."

"Even many civilians were forcibly plundered and sent to the annexed states. The rest of the people who have been lucky enough to avoid the past, but this year's food is unsustainable. ”

"Now, my lord, you should settle these people first, and then say anything else."

Hearing this, Yuan Shao's face couldn't help twitching a few times, not to mention the money and grain lost in Youzhou and Hebei this time, Jizhou alone has lost nearly one million people.

As for Yanzhou, there are millions of people forcibly relocated by Liu Bei. Two million people, if there is enough food and grass, can be converted into an army of 200,000.

This kind of powerful loss, for Yuan Shao, can be regarded as an unbearable pain in life.

Don't look at Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses now, there are not many casualties, but the lack of grain and grass in the territory, as well as the loss of a large number of people, have greatly weakened Yuan Shao's strength.

If he wants to accumulate strength and break out a war with Chen Xu, without five years of recuperation, he will not have the slightest chance of winning.

Although Yuan Shao was born in a famous family, he attaches great importance to famous celebrities. But as a prince, he naturally knows the importance of the people.

Thinking of this huge loss, Yuan Shao always felt a little bored in his heart, and couldn't help but scold: "The ministers of Zhao and Changshan are simply useless, they actually blocked the people out of the city and let that Zhao Yun plunder wantonly. ”

"If I don't kill these two people, it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart!"

Compared with Zhang He, who was stationed in Youzhou, and the trial of Wei County, the behavior of the ministers of those two counties was completely unacceptable.

In fact, Wang Yan and Zhang Liao also used the same strategy as Zhao Yun.

It's just that on the one hand, the judges let the crops in the distance be harvested quickly, and on the other hand, let the people enter the city to escape the scourge of war. As a result, Wei County only lost a small part of the grain and grass.

As for Zhang He, he dragged Zhang Liao's army to the border of Zhuo County, so that Zhang Liao couldn't be distracted at all and did other things.

Most of the population, money and grain lost in Jizhou this time were plundered by Zhao Yun's people. It's not like I don't know, it's more frightening, so Yuan Shaocai is angry and wants to kill people to vent his anger.

Hearing Yuan Shao's murderous words, he hurriedly advised: "Although these two people have had it, they can also defend the Zhao Kingdom and the Changshan Kingdom. If the lord kills these two people, it will inevitably chill the people under his command. ”

Yuan Shao saw that everyone was pleading for the two countries, and in desperation, he had to extinguish his thoughts of killing them. It's just that the two ministers were removed from their official positions by Yuan Shao.

As for Fu Zhu and Zhang He, they were rewarded by Yuan Shao.

There are two flowers, one on each branch.

However, it was said that Liu Bei saw Yuan Shao retreating, so he couldn't wait to lead the troops to subdue the lost territory in Yuzhou.

At the beginning, Liu Bei was also worried that Yuan Shao would pretend to withdraw his troops, and then set up an ambush, so Liu Bei was also cautious in leading his troops north.

It wasn't until he was convinced that Yuan Shao had withdrawn from the army that he quickly and unscrupulously pushed forward.

I never thought that Cao Cao had plotted against Yuzhou for a long time, and had already let Xu Chu set up an ambush on Liu Bei's inevitable road, killing Liu Bei and abandoning his armor, and even he himself was almost killed by Xu Chu.

Fortunately, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were brave and brave, and they escorted Liu Bei out of the encirclement, so they were ready to return to Runan to recruit troops again, so as to make a comeback.

But they didn't want to, the three of them were defeated with the remnants of the army, and before they arrived in Runan, they heard the news that Runan was taken away by Sun Ce. They were preparing to go to Yingchuan again, and they heard that Sun Ce was leading his troops to attack Yingchuan County, so they didn't know what to do.

In the end, Guan Yu suggested that he go to Guanzhong to join Chen Xu.

Liu Bei is also at the end of his rope now, and he has no choice but to rush to Guanzhong.

But now, when Liu Bei learned that his position as Yuzhou pastor was given to Sun Ce by Chen Xu, he immediately hesitated and didn't know where to go.
