Yuan's army was defeated, and even Yuan Shao was shot.

Zhang Yan drove his troops to cover up and kill, and all the departments cooperated with each other, and for a time in this palm-sized place, blood flowed like a river, corpses were everywhere, and fiery red clouds also appeared in the western sky, forming a perfect unity with this crimson earth, which seemed to complement each other very well.

The Yuan army was defeated and did not dare to return to the camp, and the leaderless Yuan army repelled to the north, all the way to the north, which is Puyang.

Zhang Yan chased for an hour continuously, without the slightest intention of stopping, and when he saw the night falling, he did not say anything about retreating.

Soon, the gap between the cavalry and the infantry was clearly reflected, followed by Zhang Yan were all cavalry, Xu Chu, Tai Shici, Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, Gan Ning each led the cavalry team, and Zhang Yan formed a huge cavalry team, almost 10,000 cavalry.

Thousands of horses galloped, covering all the way, and all the soldiers of the Yuan army who fell behind were either killed or captured.

After nightfall, Zhang Yan did not stop the pursuit, and decided to kill as many troops as Yuan Jun could in one go.

But Zhang Yan did not forget the gap between the cavalry and the infantry, he asked the Jinyi guard to go to pass the order, let Jia Xu, Zhao Yun, Bao Xun and others stay, Gao Shun and Lu Meng continued to lead the elite regular army to follow behind, and the next round in Puyang City.

Although Yuan Shao was dead and Yuan's army was defeated, Yuan Shao's army still had a lot of them, and Yuan's army, which had been stationed under Puyang City, became Zhang Yanxin's target.

Puyang City has been besieged for more than a month, and the right general Yu Ban led Chen Ying, Li Dian, Mao Jue and others to hold on to the city, looking forward to the arrival of reinforcements all the time. For more than a month. Except for the initial ferocious offensive of the Yuan army. The rest of the time is basically a standoff.

At this moment. The silence inside and outside Puyang City was abnormal, and in the Yuan army camp outside the city, the two of them received news from Bai Majin during the day, the grain and grass camp was burned down, and Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang, Ma Yan, Zhao and others were defeated.

Subsequently, Tian Feng was imprisoned, and Yuan Shao was angry and attacked Xiancheng with the strength of the whole army. News of the onslaught on Hamcheng also came.

The frustrated and interrogators were very concerned about the battle situation in Xiancheng, so they sent out many scouts to find out the news. For this reason, Fu Zhu also wrote a letter and asked the scout to bring it to Yuan Shao, the general content of which was to ask Yuan Shao to pardon Tian Feng, and the judge also signed his name on it, indicating that he agreed with Fu Zhu's opinion.

It was late at night, but the lights in the big tent of the Chinese army were bright, and the frustration and trial were sitting in the tent. A man is holding a book in his hand and is watching.

The book they were holding in their hands. It was captured during the attack on the White Horse, the Art of War, which was printed and much better than the previous paper, unlike the traditional hand-copied book.

In the Central Plains, there are piles of paper and books, which were previously only owned by the nobles of the family, but they are all over the place in the Central Plains, and there are even bookstores that specialize in selling all kinds of printed books.

The cheapness of paper is also beyond the imagination of frustration and review, and it is also divided into several categories, including special toilet paper and paper for writing, and the price is very low.

Thanks to Zhang Yan's improved papermaking technology, as well as the invention of printing, as well as the vigorous promotion of the construction of schools, the Central Plains area has gradually become a cultural mecca.

The frustrated teaching and trial also understood some local regulations, all five-year-old children must be enrolled, the school only symbolically charges some tuition, poor families, can be exempted from all fees, rich families do not have to spend more money, teachers enjoy government subsidies, monthly income is considerable.

For a time, the construction of the school was prevalent in the Central Plains, and Mr. Teaching has become the most popular profession in the Central Plains, in addition, students also have to take exams, all who enter Taixue, can get an official and a half-job after graduation, this posture, has given birth to a wind of learning, so that the people have hope, even if the poor people, as long as they study, there will be a day when they get ahead.

In addition, according to the understanding of Professor Fu, Pengcheng also has Taixue, which brings together many contemporary Confucians, and Taixue has also become a profession that everyone yearns for.

In the past, he thought that Zhang Yan was just a martial artist, but it is not until today that he realizes that Zhang Yan is a very remarkable character.

The tent was unusually quiet, and no one paid attention to the books in their hands, and they even couldn't figure out what kind of things could print these books, and the fonts were still the same?

After a while, there was a rush of footsteps outside the tent, and then a voice sounded outside the tent: "Qi Qi military division, scout urgent report!" ”

After hearing this, Deng Shi put down the book in his hand and immediately shouted outside the tent: "Come in and talk!" ”

One of the soldiers entered the tent with a dejected scout, knelt directly in front of the frustrated man, and began to cry.

Frustrated Professor frowned, and when he saw the scout like this, he immediately asked, "What are you crying about!" Tell me about the military! ”

The scout wiped away the tears on his cheeks and immediately said: "Qiyu military division, our army was defeated in Xiancheng, General Wenchou was killed, Zhang He and Gao Ran were captured alive, and even the lord was ...... Also ......"

"Tell me, what's wrong with the lord?" Fu Zhi suddenly became nervous and hurriedly asked.

The scout hurriedly said: "The lord was shot and killed by the enemy generals Tai Shici and Xu Huang, and died in Xiancheng, and his body was also thrown on the battlefield. Now that the army has been defeated and is coming towards Puyang, Zhang Yan is leading the elite soldiers to pursue all the way, only thirty miles away from here! ”

After hearing this, they were all panicked, and their hearts were suddenly empty, and they cried bitterly: "Lord! ”

The judge's face was gloomy, and he hurriedly walked to the side of the frustrated minister, and said to the frustrated man: "The lord is gone, the army is still there, the defeated army is back, as long as the 50,000 soldiers stationed here hear the news of the lord's death, it will inevitably affect the morale of the army, since the defeat has been decided, it is already difficult to recover, it is better to take advantage of the fact that the army is not yet aware, please make a decision as soon as possible, and quickly order the army to retreat overnight." After returning to Hebei, he let Gongzi succeed him, which was enough to stabilize the overall situation. It is not too late for the so-called gentleman to take revenge for ten years, and after returning to Hebei, it is good to rest for a few years. It's not too late to avenge the Lord in the future! ”

He nodded. I deeply believe in the words of the trial. The grain and grass camp was burned down by the flames, Yuan Shao died in Xiancheng, the front-line army completely collapsed, once the defeated army returned, the 50,000 troops here would also be affected, and at that time, if Zhang Yan and Yu Ban came to a combination of inside and outside, then they would be completely defeated. Whether he will be able to return to Hebei is still unknown.

"You can pass my general's order, order the whole army to travel lightly, take dry food, quickly advance in the direction of Baima, and cross the Yellow River at night!"

As soon as the words fell, Fu Zhu took out half of the talisman that Yuan Shao gave him and handed it directly to the judge.

The judge looked at the frustrated teacher in confusion and asked, "Strategist, what do you mean by this?" ”

"The lord died in Xiancheng. The corpse will be in the wilderness, and I will go and collect the corpse of the lord!" Frustrated.

After the trial hearing. hurriedly objected: "No, the military division is now the backbone of our army, if there is no military division, where will our army go in the future?" The lord died, Tian Junshi was imprisoned, it is estimated that Zhang Yanjun has been captured at this time, and now the area around Xiancheng is full of enemy troops, if the military division goes, it is equivalent to a sheep into the tiger's mouth! ”

"However, the body of the lord ......"

Without waiting for the frustrated professor to finish speaking, the judge interrupted the frustrated teacher's words, and said loudly: "The lord died, and the whole army was heartbroken, but everything must have a priority, and the military advisor has always been calm, why is it that he is confused today?" Zhengnan dared to ask the military advisor, the lord is the commander of the three armies, and the enemy army knows that the lord has died, will he put his body in the wilderness and ignore it? I'm afraid that at this moment, the lord has been beheaded by the enemy, and even if the military advisor goes, he can't keep the lord's body from being damaged! The top priority at the moment is to do everything possible to defend Hebei, and to choose an excellent one from among the three sons of the lord to succeed him and take charge of Hebei, so as to stabilize the situation. I think even the lord under the Nine Springs wants to see us do this, right? ”

After thinking for a moment, he felt that what the judge said was very right, even if he went, he might not be able to guarantee that Yuan Shao's body was a full corpse.

Therefore, Fu Zhi withdrew the talisman, and immediately sent an order to the army to retreat overnight, and asked the scouts and personal soldiers to strictly block the news, and must not divulge secrets, so as not to cause panic in the army.

The 50,000-strong army, and even the grain and grass camp in Baimajin were destroyed by fire, which shows the means of strict control of secrecy.

Subsequently, the army began to assemble rapidly, and they all left the camp quickly.

On the city wall of Puyang City, Yu Ban was patrolling, and suddenly saw the figure of the Yuan army camp outside the city shaking, the army was assembling, and the torches were shining to the sky, all of them were nervous, and quickly withdrew from the camp, leaving no one to guard in the camp.

After Yu Ban saw this scene, he frowned, not knowing what happened to Yuan Jun. Because Yuan Jun blocked everything here, not even a single mosquito could fly, and Yu Ban had no way of knowing the situation in the outside world.

At this time, Yu Ban had two guesses in his heart, one was that Yuan Jun must have something big, otherwise, he would not be in such a hurry, and it was still late at night.

The other is that Yuan Jun deliberately made a show to him, trying to lure the snake out of the hole, and then wait for an opportunity to defeat him.

These two speculations, because of the purpose of forbidding Yuan Jun, out of caution, he was biased towards the latter guess, thinking that this was Yuan Jun's strategy and wanted to lure him into sending troops.

Therefore, Yu Ban did not move, and ordered the soldiers in the city to take strict precautions, thus missing the best time to attack this army.

An hour later, Yuan Shao's defeated army came to the Yuan army camp outside Puyang City, and when they found that the camp here was empty, they knew that they had all retreated.

In desperation, these defeated troops went to Baima one after another, and tens of thousands of defeated troops scrambled for fear of being caught up by Zhang Yan's pursuers.

It wasn't until Zhang Yan led the army to appear under Puyang City that Yu Ban dared to send troops to help and join Zhang Yan's army, and then he learned that Yuan Shao was killed and Yuan's army was defeated.

However, the cavalry led by Zhang Yan was already a little tired after a long journey of pursuit, and Yu Ban led all the fresh troops, and after joining the ranks of the pursuit, the advantage was revealed, but they rushed to the front to cover the defeated army.

The two armies were combined into one, all under the jurisdiction of Zhang Yan, and the army pursued all the way to Baima.

When the Jizhou army came to Baima Ferry, there were already ships waiting there, and the frustration and trial did not really abandon these tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, after all, these were all Jizhou troops, and they were Yuan Shao's elite, and they could not be easily discarded.

As a result, Fu Zhi set up an ambush near the white horse and sniped Zhang Yanjun, who came to chase the defeated army.

For a while, arrows rained down, Zhang Yan and others were caught off guard, and many people were shot dead, because the darkness was difficult to distinguish, and I didn't know how many ambushes the other party had, Zhang Yan was hesitating, and suddenly shouts were everywhere, shocking the heavens and the earth, and there were exciting shouts of killing in all directions.

Seeing this, Zhang Yan did not fight hard, after all, he was already a tired division, but the frustrated army was waiting for work, and ambushed in advance, controlling the favorable terrain, if he fought hard, he would inevitably suffer heavy losses.

So, Zhang Yan ordered a retreat, away from the ambush circle, but did not go far, and wanted to bypass, but found that the rest of the place was full of traps, and hundreds of people died in an instant.

In desperation, Zhang Yan had no choice but to break through the ambush circle and charge twice, both of which were shot back by Yuan's powerful arrow array.

Although he was unwilling, he could only watch Yuan Jun leave, so that he did not completely destroy this group of enemy troops...... (To be continued......)
