On the official road of Chenliu County, the Hebei general Chun Yuqiong led 10,000 horses and horses to the south unhurriedly.

originally received a letter from Gao Gan asking for help, and Feng Ji, who stayed in Jizhou, wrote a letter and reported the battle situation to Yuan Shao; On the one hand, he discussed the strategy of retreating from Liu with the civil and military forces of Jizhou who stayed in the city.

Chun Yuqiong is a general in Hebei, and he has a lot of prestige in the entire Yuan Shao camp, and his reputation is not even below Zhang He and Gao Lan.

Zhang He and Gao Ran are famous, on the one hand, because the two are local clans in Hebei, Yuan Shao wants to control Hebei, so he has to promote and reuse them.

On the other hand, it is because the two of them do have real talents and learning, so they can break into the reputation of Nuoda.

However, Chun Yu Qiongqiren, he was the first general to follow Yuan Shao, and his personal relationship with Yuan Shao was extremely good. Therefore, he not only won Yuan Shao's attention, but was also entrusted with important tasks by Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao reused Chun Yuqiong, not only because this person followed him early, but more importantly, because Chun Yuqiong was very famous when he was young.

And this person's family background is also very prominent, he was in the period of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, with Jian Shuo, Yuan Shao, Bao Hong, Cao Cao, Zhao Rong, Feng Fang, Xia Mu and others, and was one of the eight captains of the West Garden.

Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty set up the Eighth School of Xiliang at that time, and those who could serve as captains were not simple people, except for Jian Shuo, who was a close eunuch of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, almost everyone else had a prominent background.

The original Chun Yuqiong could be juxtaposed with Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, how could he be a simple character?

Yuan Shaoqi had better be famous, and for those children of famous families, he was naturally wooed again and again. In addition, Chun Yuqiong followed him very early and never gave up, so Yuan Shao valued Chun Yuqiong so much.

Even if Chun Yuqiong's talent cannot be compared with Zhang He and Gao Ran, his status in Hebei is still no longer below these two.

Even, when it comes to Yuan Shao's favor, Zhang He and Gao Ran are far inferior to Chun Yuqiong.

As one of the few generals in Hebei, after Chun Yuqiong learned that Liu Bei had invaded Chen Liu, he immediately asked to lead troops to support Chen Liu.

Because Chun Yuqiong is a native of Yingchuan, he is very close to Guo Tu and others. In addition, Feng Ji is now with Guo Tu and others, and he has not yet made enemies, so he has not refuted his face.

After discussing with Jizhou's civil and military forces, Feng Ji asked Chun Yuqiong to take several generals from Jizhou to Chenliu in the starry night.

Originally, saving an emergency was like fighting a fire, Chun Yuqiong kept urging the soldiers to hurry south, but later Gao Gan sent a letter to say that he had defeated Liu Bei several times, and also made Liu Bei fall into a coma.

After Chun Yuqiong learned the news, she felt that Chen Liuzhi's danger was already insignificant, so she slowed down the march.

Zhao Rong patted his horse and came to Chun Yuqiong and said, "General, if you march one mile ahead, you can reach the Huiji River." After crossing the Huiji River, you will enter the territory of Chenliu. ”

The territory of Chenliu mentioned by Zhao Rong refers to the territory of Chenliu County, not the territory of Chenliu County, and the seat of governance of Chenliu County is Chenliu County.

Chun Yuqiong looked at the sky and said, "It's really strange, I haven't received Chen Liu's battle report for several days, there won't be any problems, right?" ”

Speaking of this, Chun Yuqiong suddenly became nervous. If Chen Liu's loss was caused by him slowing down his march, then his guilt would be great.

He had just thought of this when he suddenly saw a horse running in front of him. The guards on both sides of Chun Yuqiong hurriedly immediately crossed their guns and shouted: "Stop, whoever comes!" ”

When the rider heard the shouting, he hurriedly rolled the saddle and dismounted, and asked anxiously: "Dare to ask the front is General Chunyu?" ”

Chun Yuqiong saw this person's dress and panicked appearance, and immediately felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked: "A certain family is Chun Yuqiong, are you the defender of Chen Liuzhong?" ”

The man said: "The villain is the Chen Liu's army, the previous senior cadre general mistakenly fell into the thief army's treacherous scheme, went to rob the camp but was ambushed, and was killed by Liu Jun's random arrows. ”

"Fortunately, General Gao Rou was already prepared, so he took the remaining soldiers and Haoqiang's private soldiers to defend the city."

The soldier's words later made Chun Yuqiong shocked.

According to the soldier who reported the news: In the past, Liu Jun surrounded all the four city gates, and Gao Rou repeatedly sent people to break through the siege and ask for help, but without success.

Later, Liu Bei saw that he could not attack for a long time, so he used the strategy of encircling three and missing one, withdrawing the defenders of the north gate and concentrating his forces to attack the remaining three gates.

After the defeat of the high-ranking cadres, Chen Liucheng's troops were already stretched. In the past, Liu Jun surrounded the four gates, and the soldiers had to break through the siege, so they fought to the death and held Chen Liu.

Now that the Liu army at the north gate has withdrawn, the defenders in the city suddenly have no intention of defending the city, and they all want to abandon the city and flee. Gao Rou repeatedly assured that reinforcements would arrive soon, and killed several soldiers who tried to escape, which temporarily stabilized the situation.

As soon as Liu's army at the north gate retreated, Gao Rou sent this person to ask Chun Yuqiong for help.

The soldier wearing Yuan's armor said anxiously: "General Chunyu, now that Chen Liudan's city may be broken, please lead the army to support as soon as possible." ”

Chun Yuqiong was immediately very worried when he heard this, and at this time he hated to be able to reach the city now.

Because his procrastination has already died in battle, if Chen Liu is lost again, no matter how much Yuan Shao values him, Chun Yuqiong will be dealt with by military law.

Thinking of that kind of consequence, Chun Yuqiong couldn't help but feel a little creepy, and he shouted loudly: "The whole army accelerates, quickly rush to Chenliu!" ”

Chun Yuqiong rushed to Chenliu with soldiers and horses and came to the north bank of the Huiji River.

He saw that the suspension bridge over the river had already been cut off, and immediately said worriedly: "Without the suspension bridge, how can the soldiers and horses cross the river?" ”

The soldier who came to report said: "In order to prevent the general from going to rescue Chen Liu, Liu Jun deliberately cut the drawbridge. It's just that there is not much rain this year, and the water of the Huiji River is not too deep, so the villain just walked directly from the river. ”

Chun Yuqiong was overjoyed when she heard this, and said, "Okay, I'll lead the sergeants across the river." ”

Zhao Rong hurriedly stopped: "It's summer now, the river should be soaring, now the river is so shallow, I'm afraid there is fraud." ”

Chun Yuqiong was shocked, so she rode to the riverside.

He took a closer look at the soil by the river, and then said: "General Zhao should not be puzzled, you see that the soil on the riverside is very dry, and it seems that the river has not been flooded for a long time. ”

Zhao Rong looked at it for a while, and then he was relieved.

If the river has just been cut off, even if the water becomes shallow, the banks on both sides of the river will still be covered with silt. The dry soil on the banks of the river now means that the river has not risen for a long time.

Rao was so, Zhao Rong still suggested that the army cross the river in sections, and let the soldiers who crossed the river in advance form a neat phalanx to prevent Liu's army from crossing it halfway.
