Chapter 1172 is called protection, but in fact it is house arrest

Thousands of Yuan troops, as strange soldiers, came out from behind the Cao army, if there was no response from the Cao army, the role they could play was undoubtedly extremely huge.

But the Cao army had obviously prepared to take out all the forces to deal with them, and the soldiers of the Yuan army led by Yuan Tan had just launched a charge, and they were attacked by the Cao army from both sides.

If only the Cao army on the left and right flanks attacked, the soldiers of the Yuan army would still be able to barely support it.

But the Cao army obviously put the direction of the main attack on the Yuan army, and the Cao army that resisted the Qin army was only less than thirty percent of the total army, and more Cao troops flocked to the Yuan army led by Yuan Tan.

Tens of thousands of Cao troops launched a fierce attack on the Yuan army, and the thousands of Yuan troops led by Yuan Tan were simply unable to resist, and were soon divided into a group by the Cao army.

Seeing that his soldiers and horses were divided by Cao's army, Yuan Tan's heart suddenly became anxious, and he hurriedly shouted: "Withdraw!" ”

Yuan Jun, who was already pressed and beaten by Cao Jun and was unable to fight back at all, heard Yuan Tan's shout, and hurriedly turned around and broke through towards Liyang City.

The Yuan army broke through towards Liyang City, and the Cao army followed closely behind them, and together with the Cao army that the Qin army was fighting, they also retreated while fighting and advanced in the direction of Liyang.

The Cao army retreated, the pressure on the Qin army weakened sharply, and the soldiers with a rainbow of morale killed even more fiercely.

On the way to chase Cao Jun, the soldiers of the Qin Army kept slashing their blades towards Cao Jun, and one by one Cao Jun fell down on the way back.

Standing in the Chinese army, watching Cao Jun walk while fighting from a distance, Lu Bu's brows were slightly twisted, and he was confused in his heart.

If the Cao army counterattacked on all fronts, even if the Qin army could win in the end, this victory would be extremely tragic.

But the Cao army did not do that, but launched a general attack on the almost negligible number of Yuan troops after the Yuan army in the city was killed.

With such a counterintuitive style of play, Ren Lu Bu wanted to break his head, and he didn't understand what Cao Jun's intentions were for a while.

The army led to Liyang, and LΓΌ Bu was accompanied by Yan Liang and Wen Chou, who were known for their bravery, while Zhang Liao and Tai Shici followed Wei Yan to Yecheng.

If it wasn't Yan Liang and Wen Chou, but Zhang Liao and Tai Shici, with the opinions of those two, maybe they could see some clues.

Looking at Cao Jun, who was retreating, Lu Bu did not turn his gaze to Yan Liang and Wen Chou.

He also knew that with the wisdom of Yan Liang and Wen Chou, it was impossible to see what Cao Jun's intentions were.

Lu Bu, who didn't see Cao Jun's intentions, could only hold the reins and watch the battlefield from afar.

On the battlefield outside Liyang City, an extremely strange phenomenon appeared.

The Cao army pursued the retreating Yuan army and slashed it, while the Qin army followed the Cao army all the way to slash.

Just as Yuan's army was about to retreat to the city of Liyang, Cao's army suddenly stopped the pursuit and retreated all the way to the southeast.

The soldiers of the Qin army who were following behind Cao Jun did not stop, but followed closely and pursued Cao Jun.

"Mingjin retreats!" Seeing Cao's army retreating to the southeast from a distance, Lu Bu shouted at the soldiers behind him.

A pro-soldier answered, shouting behind him: "The general has an order, Mingjin withdraws the troops!" ”

As the shouts of the pro-soldiers fell, there were bursts of crisp golden sounds in the main formation of the Qin army.

The soldiers of the Qin army, who were chasing the Cao army, stopped their tracks one after another when they heard the sound of gold, and they all looked at the Chinese army blankly.

Cao's army, which was evacuated from the battlefield, under the leadership of Cao Cao, went to the southeast without looking back.

Seeing from a distance that the soldiers of the Qin army stopped the pursuit, Lu Bu clamped his legs towards the horse's belly, and said to Yan Liang and Wen Chou, who were standing on both sides of the horse: "I'll wait to enter the city!" ”

After explaining to Yan Liang and Wen Chou, Lu Bu rode a war horse and walked towards Liyang City.

Yan Liang and Wen Chou glanced at each other, and their faces showed a touch of embarrassment, but in the end, they followed him and rode their horses to Liyang.

The two of them were the four court pillars of Hebei back then, and now they have served the king of Qin, although Yuan Shao is no longer there, but Yuan Tan is also familiar with the two of them.

is about to meet the former young master, and the two of them are still a little apprehensive in their hearts.

led the army out of Liyang City, and was almost annihilated by the Cao army in one fell swoop, looking at the Cao army in the distance, Yuan Tan, who had fled to the city gate, was still full of panic.

If the Cao army pursued all the way into Liyang, the Yuan army in the city was very likely to be completely annihilated by the Cao army.

Although the Qin army will definitely follow into the city, after the Qin army enters the city, if he has no soldiers and horses in his hands, this Liyang will be handed over to the King of Qin.

Yuan Tan is different from Yuan Shang.

Under the construction of the trial, Yuan Shang was able to offer Hebei to the king of Qin for the sake of the overall situation, although after Cao Cao was driven away, it was still difficult to say whether Liu Wei could really get Hebei, but he finally said it.

Compared with Yuan Shang, Yuan Tan attaches more importance to Hebei.

In his opinion, the Jizhou and other places that Yuan Shao got from Han Fu back then have long since become the private property of his Yuan family. Even the king of Qin can only dispatch Yuan's army, but cannot send a large army to Hebei.

Keeping the soldiers and horses under his command, Yuan Tan let out a long sigh.

"General, Lu Wenhou, Yan Liang and Wen Chou are here!" Just when Yuan Tan looked at Cao Jun in the distance with trepidation, an officer beside him clasped his fists and whispered a reminder.

Hearing the officer's reminder, Yuan Tan hurriedly turned his head, and sure enough, he saw Lu Bu leading a team of Qin troops towards him, surrounded by Yan Liang and Wen Chou.

Seeing Lu Bu and the others, Yuan Tan hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and stood outside Liyang City with his fists in his fists.

Riding a horse and approaching Yuan Tan, Lu Bu glanced down at him, raised his hand at him and said: "General Xiansi doesn't need to be polite, His Royal Highness knows that your army is difficult to hold on to Liyang, and General Xiansi is here to take over Liyang, and I hope that General Xiansi will hand over earlier!" ”

Thinking that the Qin army came to Liyang, it was just to help, but he didn't expect that Lu Bu would propose to take over the city, Yuan Tan was stunned, looked up at Lu Bu, and asked with a stunned face: "What do you mean by this?" ”

"Does the general know why Cao Jun entered Hebei, all the way into a no-man's land?" Riding on the red rabbit horse, Lu Bu looked down at Yuan Tan who was standing in front of him, and asked him in a very cold tone.

was stunned by Lu Bu's question, Yuan Tan actually had a feeling that he didn't know how to answer.

In the battle of Guandu, it was Yuan Shao who despised Cao Cao, and in the battle of Cangting, it was their brothers who led the army together but had different intentions.

Since Yuan Shao's death, the Yuan brothers have been like a plate of loose sand, although the coalition forces resisted Cao Cao, they could not be twisted into a rope at all.

The earlier defeat of Yuan's army to Cao's army can also be attributed to Yuan's army being too light on the enemy.

In the later battles, the Yuan army was defeated repeatedly, and the Yuan brothers had different intentions, which was to blame!

With his mouth slightly open, Yuan Tan couldn't find the right words to respond to Lu Bu for a while, he was stunned, and looked blankly at Yan Liang and Wen Chou beside Lu Bu.

Seeing him look over, Yan Liang and Wen Chou both turned their faces to the side.

Although it was not for Liu Wei to let Zhao Yun and Gao Shun lead Hu Benwei and Yu Linwei into Hebei in the original battle of Guandu, the two of them would have died in the hands of Cao Jun long ago, and they should have lost their affection for the Yuan family.

But seeing Yuan Tan's blank face, the two of them were still a little unbearable in their hearts.

As the generals of Great Qin, they also knew that the reason why Liu Wei sent troops and horses to aid Liyang was to merge this Liyang into the territory of Great Qin.

As generals of the Qin army, how could they stumble on Liu Wei at this time?

Seeing that Yan Liang and Wen Chou also turned their faces to the side, Yuan Tan turned his head and glanced at the Liyang city wall, let out a long sigh, and said to Lu Bu: "That's it, the general is the leader of the army to come to the aid, and he wants to take over Liyang, so lead the soldiers and horses to Nanpi!" ”

A smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, and Lu Bu made a gesture of invitation to Yuan Tan and said, "General, please enter the city!" ”

With a depressed face, Yuan Tan turned over his war horse and shouted at the Liyang city wall: "Open the city quickly!" ”

With his shout, the gate of Liyang City slowly opened.

When the city gate opened, Yuan Tan first made a gesture of invitation to Lu Bu and said, "Wen wait, please!" ”

Nodding at him, Lu Bu was not polite, and took Yan Liang and Wen Chou and went straight into the city gate.

Yuan Tan and LΓΌ Bu rode side by side, and behind them were not the soldiers of the Yuan army who went out of the city to meet the Cao army, but the Qin army led by LΓΌ Bu.

It wasn't until the Qin army entered Liyang that the Yuan army outside the city slowly entered the city.

Leading the army into the city, Lu Bu turned his head and said to Yuan Tan, who rode to the official mansion with him: "The general goes to Nanpi, then Cao Cao may also go to attack." His Royal Highness has a plan to keep the general safe! ”

When Lu Bu said this, Yuan Tan's heart suddenly tightened.

This sentence sounds like it is for his sake, but the deep meaning is to put Yuan Tan under house arrest.

Although among the Yuan brothers, Yuan Tan's wisdom was not as good as that of Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang, he could still understand the meaning of Lu Bu's words.

Turning his head to look at Lu Bu, although Yuan Tan had already understood the meaning of his words, he still asked, "What does the general mean?" ”

"The fourth and third dukes of the Yuan family are the great Han people!" Smiling slightly, Lu Bu said to Yuan Tan: "His Royal Highness's intention is to leave the Miao descendants for the Yuan family, and not to be destroyed by Cao Cao!" ”

Lu Bu said a word, and Yuan Tan was speechless for a long time.

After Guo Tu and Xin Ping entered the city, they planned to go down to the city to follow Yuan Tan, but they were stopped by the Qin army and failed to keep up.

There was no wise person beside him, and Lu Bu proposed to ask him to stay in Liyang, and Yuan Tan couldn't think of how to deal with it for a while.

Riding a war horse and riding along with Lu Bu, Yuan Tan did not speak.

He was very entangled in his heart, if he stayed in Liyang, from now on, the power in his hands would be deprived by Lu Bu step by step, and eventually the entire territory under his rule would fall into the hands of the Qin army.

But if you don't agree to Lu Bu, with this Yuan army in the city, don't say that you will fight with the Qin army, even if you want to break through the city, it will be impossible.

"The general doesn't want to?" Yuan Tan didn't say anything, but Lu Bu didn't intend to let it go, turned his head to look at him, and asked again.
