Yuan Shao angrily tore the letter to shreds and shouted loudly: "Withdraw the army, the whole army retreats to Jizhou!" ”

Seeing Yuan Shao's performance, his heart suddenly sank, and he hurriedly asked, "Lord, what happened in Jizhou?" ”

Yuan Shao gritted his teeth and said: "Chen Wenzhao took advantage of the fact that my army was marching south to Yuzhou, and his troops were divided into three ways to capture Youzhou and Hebei Prefecture, and in just a few days, he connected several cities. ”

"The generals Feng Li and Peng An died in battle, Wu'an was broken, and Ye County and Handan were in danger!"

Guo Tu shouted in a lost voice: "How is this possible, the army of Guanzhong is in Liangzhou and Hanzhong, how can there be extra troops to attack Jizhou and Youzhou!" ”

"What's more, all the generals under Chen Wenzhao are not in the state, and the troops are divided into three ways this time, who will lead the troops?"

Yuan Shao said with a pale face: "The one who broke through Wu'an was Shangdang Taishou Wang Yan, who led 30,000 elite soldiers and horses to attack Wei County from Shangdang and take Wu'an directly. ”

"Wu'an's defender Feng Li was not prepared at all, and was attacked into the city by Wang Yan, and Feng Li died in battle."

"Zhao Yun led 5,000 Hun cavalry and 10,000 elite infantry soldiers to raid from Taiyuan County into Zhao State; Zhang Liao led 20,000 troops, and entered Youzhou from Yanmen County, and Gao Liu's guard Peng An was killed in battle, and several counties were shaken. ”

Speaking of this, Yuan Shao was about to be unable to suppress the anger in his heart, and he said loudly: "I must return to the division as soon as possible, if Jizhou and Youzhou are lost, we will have no place to stand!" ”

Guo Tu shouted: "This is impossible! ”

"Chen Wenzhao went on an expedition to Hanzhong, and there would never be so many soldiers and horses in Bingzhou. There are also two generals, Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao, aren't they already in Hanzhong? ”

Yuan Shao glanced at Guo Tu coldly, and said with an angry face: "This is already the case, what else is impossible!" ”

It was only at this time that he regretted that he had not listened to the words of frustration and had taken precautions against Chen Xu.

At that time, if it weren't for the assurances of Guo Tu and others, saying that Chen Xu would not have the strength to enter Tuyou and Hebei Prefectures, Yuan Shao would not have been so unprepared and was caught off guard.

In fact, this is the dark plan planned by Jia Xu and others.

The army that accompanied Wen Zhao this time did have people under the banner of Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao, but in fact, these two people secretly infiltrated the state.

They secretly mobilized troops and horses, and as long as they waited for Wen Zhao's order, they could attack Yuan Shao's territory.

In recent years, Wen Zhao's power has been extremely inflated, and there have been a lot of soldiers and horses under his command.

Even this seemingly massive expedition to Hanzhong was actually only a collection of 100,000 soldiers. As for the other 500,000 recruits, they were just trying to make up the number and move the population to Liangzhou.

Therefore, Wen Zhao secretly placed tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Bingzhou, without the slightest pressure.

Wen Zhao's intention to conquer Yuan Shao at the beginning was really well concealed, so the army suddenly pressed the border, and the civil and military forces of Jizhou felt incredible, and they also felt extremely huge pressure.

Even Yuan Shao himself was a little afraid in his heart.

He didn't dare to imagine what the consequences would be if Jizhou and Youzhou were really lost, which was not at all a consequence that he could bear.

Quiet as a virgin, moving like a rabbit, this is Chen Wenzhao's way of using soldiers.

Over the years, due to the planning of several strategists in Guanzhong behind their backs, Wen Zhao has been arranged by them in an orderly manner every time he fights.

Either lie dormant or gather all your strength and deliver a thunderous blow to the enemy. With the least loss, win the maximum profit.

At this time, Yuan Shao set his eyes on Fu Zhi, and asked with some expectation: "The soldiers in Guanzhong have invaded my territory, and I don't know if there is a clever way to retreat from the enemy?" ”

In the process of this southern expedition to Yuzhou, most of Yuan Shao's advisers believed that it was impossible for Chen Wenzhao to send troops to attack Jizhou. Only Fu Zhi repeatedly advised Yuan Shao to be cautious.

At this point, Yuan Shao was also a little disappointed with the other strategists, so he asked Fu Zhi directly.

Frustrated in his heart, he was also very frightened, but after thinking about it carefully, he slowly calmed down.

He didn't answer Yuan Shao's question directly, but asked: "The lord of the northern expedition to Gongsun Zhan, how long does it take to send troops?" ”

Although Yuan Shao felt that his words were a little inexplicable, he still replied truthfully: "The conquest of Liaodong, I raised 150,000 troops, which took nearly half a year. ”

He asked again: "How long did it take for the lord to conquer Chen Liu, and how long did it take to send troops?" ”

Hearing this, Yuan Shao thought that he had deliberately exposed his shortcomings, and his face immediately sank. He said angrily: "I conquered Chenliu and raised 130,000 troops, which took more than a month!" ”

But he didn't want to, but when he heard this, he laughed out loud and said, "In that case, why should the lord panic? ”

"Gongsun Zan and Liu Xuande's forces are so weak, and the lord has an absolute advantage in troops, and it still takes so much time, not to mention the Guanzhong soldiers who have invaded Youzhou and Hebei Prefectures?"

Yuan Shao was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it carefully, he suddenly realized.

The three-way army that set off from Bingzhou, although it was a surprise to catch Yuan Shao off guard. However, these three lines of soldiers and horses together are only 55,000 people.

These horses seem to be a lot, if you want to rely on this insignificant force, you want to occupy Youzhou and Jizhou, it is simply wishful thinking.

As long as the officials of the various counties and counties come back to their senses and can take precautions as soon as possible, and defend the city to the death, it will be absolutely difficult for the Guanzhong soldiers to break through the city again.

What's more, Ye County has Jizhou celebrities stationed in Jizhou, and there are also generals Gao Ran leading troops to inspect.

Yuan Shao believed that with the talents of the two, even if Wang Yan led 30,000 soldiers and horses to attack the city day and night, he would not want to conquer Ye County within a year.

Youzhou even has a general Zhang He stationed troops in Zhuo County, Zhang Liao wants to rely on 20,000 horses to crisscross Youzhou, which is completely a fool's dream.

If the county soldiers in various counties can cooperate with Zhang He well, it may not be possible to leave Zhang Liao's 20,000 horses in Youzhou.

Thinking of this, Yuan Shaocai breathed a long sigh of relief. The generals of Jizhou, who were originally panicked, also calmed down their restless thoughts.

Yuan Shao asked again: "So for the current situation, can the public have a strategy to retreat from the enemy?" ”

Fu Zhu lowered his head and thought for a while, and then said: "I have three strategies, but it is up to the lord to choose. ”

Yuan Shao was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "What's the plan, but it's okay to say it!" ”

Frustrated and eloquently said: "The best policy, the lord sent the two strategists back to Jizhou and Youzhou, and ordered all counties and counties to hold the city tightly and not to fight. However, the lord continued to lead his troops to attack Runan and seize the entire land of Yuzhou. ”

Yuan Shao's eyes flashed and he asked, "What is the middle strategy?" ”

Frustrated, he said: "Zhongce, the lord can write a letter with Cao Mengde, give him the entire Yuzhou, and then return to the army to rescue Jizhou and Youzhou." ”

Yuan Shao's brows furrowed tightly, and he asked again, "What's the next step?" ”

Fu Zhu said again: "Make a decision, directly abandon the entire Yuzhou, and lead the troops back." ”

(I chatted with my book friends for a long time last night, and I was impressed by everyone's shocking and unbridled imagination, and my thinking was completely expanded.) It was very late, and finally all the future outlines were formulated, but the previous outlines were changed beyond recognition. ）
