However, it was said that Wen Zhao was determined to divide the 6,000 cavalry into three routes. He himself took two thousand cavalry, changed into Yuan Jun's clothes and armor, and rushed to Yangcheng from another way.

Yangcheng is not far or close to Xuanyuan Pass, Yuan Shu's camp was lost, and he himself was busy fleeing for his life, so he did not send anyone to inform the Yangcheng defenders of the battle report on the front line.

Therefore, when Wen Zhao led two thousand soldiers and horses to arrive at the city of Yangcheng wearing Yuan's armor, the guards of Yangcheng were not at all defenseless.

Perhaps in his opinion, the current Xuanyuan Pass is still surrounded by Yuan Jun.

Of course, due to the lack of horses in Yuan Shu's army, it was impossible to have a cavalry of 2,000 men. Therefore, Wen Zhao left the war horse in a hidden position in advance.

All the knights dismounted and came to the city in disguise as foot soldiers.

The Yangcheng guards did not have the slightest defense, so they let Chen Xu and others enter the city. After seeing the Yangcheng guards, Dian Wei directly restrained the Yangcheng guards with lightning speed.

After learning Wen Zhao's true identity and knowing that Yuan Shu's army defeated Xuanyuan Pass, the Yangcheng defender was easily recruited by Chen Xu.

In this way, Chen Xu only led 2,000 cavalry and captured Yangcheng bloodlessly.

On the city wall, Wen Zhao still maintained the posture of bending his bow and arrows. Beside him, stood Dian Wei, Liu Bei, and Zhang Fei.

Yuan Shu, who was hungry and cold, finally led the army to Yangcheng, thinking about the hot boiling water and fragrant food in the city.

But he didn't want to, Chen Xu actually relied on the speed advantage of the cavalry and took the lead in taking the Yangcheng closest to Xuanyuan Pass.

Yuan Shu struggled to control his body so that he did not fall off his horse.

He pulled out his short knife, pointed at Wen Zhao in the city, and scolded loudly: "The village man in the mountains, the remnants of the yellow turban, dare to offend my city? ”

"I swear here, if I can't cramp your skin, I swear not to be a human being!"

Chen Xu laughed out loud, pointed at Yuan Shu and said disdainfully: "Anti-country and traitorous thief, his subordinates are defeated, and the dog who has lost his family dares to speak wildly?" You'd better think about it first, whether you can escape from Yuzhou. ”

"Hahahaha!"

When the defenders of the city heard their lord's disdainful tone, they immediately burst into laughter. There are even many people who whistle unscrupulously.

Although Chen Xu didn't say much, he also said every word. When Yuan Shu heard this, his face was blue and red.

It is not an exaggeration to call himself an emperor in vain, and to be called an anti-country and traitor; An army of 300,000 besieged Xuanyuan Pass, but suffered a major defeat, and it was indeed Chen Xu's defeated generals.

As for Yuan Shu's current situation, it is appropriate to describe it as a 'lost dog'.

Yuan Shu, who was arrogant, looked at Chen Xu with a smug look, and immediately became a little angry.

He stretched out his finger, pointed at Chen Xu tremblingly, and scolded loudly: "Pifu, I swear to kill you!" I swear to kill you! ”

Ignoring Yuan Shu's threat at all, Wen Zhao was invisible, quietly took a two-stone big bow, hid behind the city wall, bent the bow and arrows, and aimed at Yuan Shu.

"Whew!"

With a piercing sound of arrows breaking through the air, they shot at Yuan Shu from behind the battlements.

"Poof!"

At this moment, Yuan Shu was forced by hunger and cold, coupled with anger, and actually spurted out a mouthful of blood.

"Poof!"

The weak Yuan Shu did not stabilize his body, and planted directly from the war horse to the ground. It was precisely because Yuan Shu suddenly fell off the horse that he saved his life dangerously.

"Poof!"

The arrow crossed Yuan Shu's position and hit a general behind him directly. However, at this time, no one paid attention to the Yuan Jun, who suffered from the unjustified disaster.

"Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty!"

The civil and military forces under Yuan Shu suddenly saw Yuan Shu fall off the horse, and they were all shocked.

Today's Yuan Jun may fall apart at any time. If Yuan Shu had three strengths and two shortcomings, they would not be able to escape defeat.

Therefore, when everyone saw Yuan Shu fall off the horse, they suddenly lost their way. Although Ji Ling's injuries had not yet healed, he still struggled forward and hugged Yuan Shu onto the war horse.

When Yan Xiang saw this situation, his heart was also in turmoil, and he hurriedly shouted: "Withdraw, retreat to Yangguan, don't stay here!" ”

The current Yuan army is not even sufficient in weapons and equipment, and as for the siege equipment, there is not a single one.

Most importantly, Yuan Jun is now short of food and grass. If they can't retreat into the next city as soon as possible, the remaining tens of thousands of Yuan troops will fall apart sooner or later.

Therefore, even though he knew that there were not many defenders in Yang City, Yan Xiang did not dare to order the siege of the city, but instead retreated in a hurry with the unconscious Yuan Shu.

Wen Zhao, who was standing on the city wall, saw that Yuan Shu had escaped in this way, and he felt a little regretful in his heart.

Without regrets, he cheered up, pointed to the retreating Yuan Jun and said, "Yuan Highway, sooner or later he will be captured by me!" Sooner or later, these soldiers will be brought under my command. ”

Liu Bei looked at the high-spirited Chen Xu, slightly distracted, and he said with a little admiration: "The general will defeat the traitor Yuan Shu with absolutely weak troops, and he will be famous all over the world." ”

Turning his head and looking at Liu Bei with a sincere face, Wen Zhao patted him on the shoulder and said, "Xuande is not a thing in the pool, if there is a chance, how can he be under me in the future?" ”

"The Han Dynasty is now in turmoil, and Xuande still needs to work hard and contribute his own strength to the country and the people."

Liu Beizuo lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "General Meng looks down on him, dare not to die for the Han Dynasty?" ”

However, it was said that Yuan Shu was in a coma, and Yan Xiang and others retreated to Yangguan with a large army. As soon as everyone left the confines of Yangcheng, they heard the sergeants complaining because they were hungry.

Lei Bo couldn't suppress it, and hurriedly came to see Yuan Shu, but Yuan Shu was still unconscious.

In desperation, he had to seek advice from Yuan Jun's think tank.

Yan Xiang pondered for a long time, and his face also showed a helpless look. No matter how scheming you are, there is nothing you can do in such a situation.

Yang Hong suddenly said: "General Lei, is there a village where people live nearby?" If so, why not 'borrow' some food from them first? ”

Lei Bo said helplessly: "Why didn't the last general think of this? However, before His Majesty set out on the expedition, a lot of grain had already been requisitioned along the way. ”

"Many people have no food at home, either starve to death or migrate to other places. Now in the entire territory of Yuzhou, except for the county seat, it can be regarded as a thousand miles without a rooster's crow. ”

"Yangguan is still three days away from here. If we can't solve the problem of food and grass, I will starve to death sooner or later. ”

When everyone heard this, they were silent. Yuan Shu planted the evil cause that day, and today he naturally wants to taste the evil fruit.

"Kill!"

"Capture Yuan Shu alive!"

Faintly, there was a shout of killing, and everyone's faces changed. Yan Xiang hurriedly said, "Generals, hurry up and escort Your Majesty to retreat!" ”

At this time, Yuan Jun, because of his disillusionment, had no fighting spirit at all, and even faced a situation of collapse. Even though Yan Xiang knew that there would not be too many pursuers behind, he also lost the courage to send someone to stop him.

What's more, now that there is a lack of food and grass in the army, they are all too busy to take care of themselves, and they only want to escape to Yangguan as soon as possible.

"By the way, don't forget to gather all the war horses, take the important civil and military ministers, and escort Your Majesty to Yangguan first."

Although Yangguan is three days away from here, it refers to the speed of the foot soldiers' march. If the only war horses in the army are gathered and run lightly, they will be able to reach Yangguan in less than a day.

Moreover, if you are too hungry to survive on the road, you can also kill the horses to satisfy your hunger. As for the other soldiers, Yan Xiang couldn't take care of it anymore.

After Zhang Xun, Lei Bo, and Yuan Yin heard Yan Xiang's words, they began to gather their henchmen and soldiers, gathered their horses, and prepared to escape.

However, it was said that Yan Xiang and the others had taken the unconscious Yuan Shu and had not been able to retreat for a long time. Zhao Yun and Gao Shun led their troops into Yangcheng one after another.

Leaving Gao Shun and 2,000 soldiers, Wen Zhao personally led Liu Bei's three brothers, as well as Zhao Yun and Dian Wei, to lead the troops to chase and kill Yuan's army.

They rode their war horses, and it didn't take long for them to catch up with Yuan Jun's rear team.

Zhang Fei looked at the panicked Yuan Jun in front of him, his eyes showed excitement, and he asked Chen Xu for battle: "The thief is a tired soldier, hungry and hungry. ”

"Today, the thieves have long since lost their fear. The last general is invited to be the vanguard, leading the troops to rush up and kill it, and ask the general to complete it. ”

Wen Zhao chuckled twice and said, "Yide is eager to fight, and I am very relieved. However, a soldier who surrenders without a fight is the best policy. ”

"What I did with Zilong and Yan Zheng before, now it's time to see the effect."

Hearing Chen Xu's words, everyone became curious.

Especially Zhao Yun, until now, he didn't understand what Chen Xu's plan was for him to give him an inexplicable order.

"Drive!"

Wen Zhao kicked the horse's belly lightly and came not far from those panicked Yuan soldiers. Seeing this, Dian Wei hurriedly patted his war horse to follow. The rest of the people were about to step forward, but they were stopped by Chen Xu.

The two of them rode to the front of Yuan Jun, and Sergeant Yuan subconsciously hid on both sides of the road to make way for Chen Xu.

It's just that when Yuan Jun was forced by hunger and cold, when he looked at Chen Xu, he showed a slightly frightened look. There are also some people who are desperately trying to run forward.

Restraining the war horse and quietly observing Yuan Jun for a while, Chen Xu suddenly pointed to a Yuan soldier who was closest to him and asked, "Are you hungry?" ”

The soldier was suddenly pointed at by Chen Xu, and he was still a little scared at first.

But after he found that Chen Xu had no murderous intent on his face, he swallowed his saliva and whispered, "Hungry!" ”

Hearing the soldier's answer, Chen Xu unwrapped the package and took out a dry ration. He stretched out his hand and said to the soldier, "Do you want to eat?" ”

"Gollum!"

After Chen Xu took out the dry food, the nearby soldiers of the Yuan army all rolled violently in their throats, and there was a sound in their stomachs.

The soldier Yuan who was pointed out by Chen Xu showed a look of surprise on his face, and subconsciously said, "Eat!" Eat! ”

However, he suddenly remembered that the two sides were in a hostile position, so he looked at Chen Xu vigilantly.

Wen Zhao laughed twice, threw the dry food directly in front of the soldier, raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you dare to eat?" ”
