So, under a melee in Anyi City, Sun Ce was besieged, but instead of reaping the slightest benefit, he lost tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and then fled for his life in a hurry, and no longer dared to stay in the territory of Sili.

At the same time, Sun Ce, who suffered a big defeat, did not know what was going on, and must have thought that the fiasco was all caused by Zhou Yu's conspiracy and calculation, and nominally reached a secret agreement with him, but in fact he wanted to introduce him into the middle of the world, and then catch him all. Since then, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce, the former chief horn, naturally parted ways, and each other has since become strangers. ”

Guo Jia's words can be regarded as a clear analysis of the entire game within the game, so that after Jia Xu heard this, he was deeply touched and said: "No monarch can tolerate the generals under his command to miss the old lord and have two ambitions, even a person with such a magnificent bearing as the lord cannot tolerate it endlessly."

There is a limit to everything, and in the battle of Dongyuan City, the lord has done his best to be benevolent and righteous. Therefore, the lord of the battle of Anyi will never allow the scene under Dongyuan City to be repeated again, and Zhou Yu must also completely draw a clear relationship with Sun Ce in this battle. ”

Guo Jia nodded in response: "Brother Wenhe is reasonable. In this puzzle, in fact, the lord has shown mercy. Otherwise, he only had to tell Yang Chou to arrange hundreds of archers to ambush in the county guard's mansion, and cover up his unpreparedness to kill Sun Ce in one fell swoop. It was precisely because Zhou Yu was afraid that it would be difficult to accept this fact, so he took risks out of righteous indignation. Therefore, the lord deliberately kept his hand, which can be regarded as the fulfillment of the brotherhood between Zhou Yu and Sun Ce. ”

Jia Xu said: "This is the biggest concession that the lord can make, and it is not easy. It is necessary to know that since ancient times, those who have achieved hegemony. It is rare for the lord to put himself in the shoes of his subordinates like this, and he has never seen it for a long time, Zhou Yu should be glad for this, and it is also an honor for us. That's it, this matter is over, and I don't need to discuss it anymore. At present, there are still two tricky things that need to be dealt with urgently, one of which is that Zilong led his troops to pursue Liu Bei for a long time. Second, Zhang Lu of Hanzhong actually took advantage of the decisive battle between our army and the princes of the Central Plains to send troops to attack the hinterland of Liangzhou. ”

"What Brother Wen He said is extremely true."

Guo Jia happily continued: "There is no need to worry about this first thing. General Zilong is deeply respected by the lord, and he must be fine; The most urgent task now before us is how to deal with the war in Hanzhong. Fortunately, before the decisive battle, the lord had already sent General Ma Chao to Liangzhou in the starry night. Although it was a step too late to go. However, it has curbed the offensive momentum of Zhang Lu's army, and at present, the two armies are in a stalemate, which finally gives us a chance to breathe. ”

Jia Xu nodded slightly, turned to look in the direction of Xiliang, and muttered with some feeling: "The smoke continues, the war is raging, and the waves are unsettled and the waves are rising again, and the front door drives the tiger and the back door enters the wolf." This year is destined to be an extraordinary year??????"

Guo Jia shook his head when he heard this. smiled silently, as if he was in his chest. I have already thought of a way to deal with it.

――――――――――――

Xingyang.

Two days have passed since the decisive battle of Loudiyuan, after the great rout, the princes of all walks of life have fled from Hangu Pass, which can be described as a day and night, at least two or three hundred miles in a day and night, and the speed of escape is amazing.

And the Xingyang camp that blocked the way to escape was like choking the neck of the defeated army of the princes, which made the princes of all walks of life frightened, for fear that Xingyang Xu Rong would block the way. Since then, Xu Rong has blocked it in the front, and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry has chased and killed it overnight, and the lives of the princes of the Central Plains are in danger!

Perhaps it was the silent prayers of Yuan Shao, Lu Bu and others who moved the heavens, or maybe Xingyang Xu Rong was cowardly and did not dare to fight these outlaws to the end. Just as Yuan Shao and Lu Bu united the remnants of the army and prepared to fight with all their strength and fight to the death, the defenders of Xingyang actually took the initiative to retreat.

Therefore, when Yuan Shao and Lu Bu and other first groups of men and horses entered the boundary of Xingyang, they unexpectedly learned that Xu Rong's army stationed in Xingyang had been withdrawn, and took the initiative to retreat forty miles, away from the main plank road. This was clearly a move to allow the Allies to escape.

Sure enough, the apprehensive Allied soldiers quickly passed through Guò Xingyang Pass, but the whole process was thrilling, and Xu Rong's army really got out of the way and let the princes rout and escape.

In just two days, tens of thousands of Allied soldiers fled to Luoyang through Guò Xingyang, and various Allied princes such as Yuan Shao, Lü Bu and Cao Cao escaped one after another. And when these princes fled from Xingyang, there were Xiliang scouts and fine workers along the way who were responsible for monitoring, so that the whereabouts of the princes from all walks of life could not escape the sight of Xu Rong's scouts. Who has escaped, who is still behind and has not left the boundary of Xingyang, the main general Xu Rong knows well, and waits for the opportunity to send soldiers and horses to capture a large number of surrendered troops along the road, laying a solid foundation for the Xingyang battalion to expand the army again.

On the third day, that is, the second day after the battalions of the Xiliang Army returned to the Loudiyuan camp one after another.

Early in the morning, Zhao Yun, who led his troops all the way south to pursue, steadily walked into Xu Rong's Chinese army tent. He came here to bid farewell to Xu Rong and prepare to escort the prisoners of war and captured materials back to the camp to resume his life.

The reason why Zhao Yun wanted to resign from Xu Rong was because Xu Rong had treated him well in the previous three months, and strongly recommended him to be the commander of the 20,000 reinforcements. Because of this, he had the opportunity to make many military exploits and gain a firm foothold in the army.

"Zilong wants to lead his troops back to Guannai to resume his life?"

After hearing Zhao Yunyan's intentions, Xu Rong's face was a little surprised, and then he laughed loudly: "That's just right, I just received an order from the Lord Army, ordering me to rush to Hangu Pass within three days to resume my life." Since Zilong is also going to lead his troops back, then you and I are just walking together, and we can talk along the way, saving it boring. Hahaha! ”

"Is the general also going to Hangu Pass?" Zhao Yun was stunned when he heard this, and asked casually.

Xu Rong nodded happily and said with a smile: "Yes, not only did I receive the order of the Lord Prince's army, but as far as I know, the commanders of the garrisons in various parts of Sili have received this order, even General Zhou Yu, who has just captured Hanoi County. Presumably, it was a military and political discussion in which the lord summoned the generals of the whole army to participate, which was actually a reward for meritorious deeds and a reward for the officers and men of the whole army. ”

Zhao Yun nodded lightly, looked up at Xu Rong with a nervous expression, and stopped talking, wanting to say something but feeling inconvenient to speak.

Seeing that Zhao Yun's expression was different. Xu Rong smiled calmly: "Zilong did you want to ask, did you ask about the delay in the return of your soldiers in the military order of the lord?" ”

"General Mingjian, that's true." Zhao Yun answered.

Xu Rong bowed slightly. The smile on his face quickly faded, and he said, "It's not a secret, Zilong was not mentioned in the lord's military order, not a word." In my opinion, when the lord ordered Zilong to lead his troops south to pursue the defeated army, he had already expected that Zilong would return to his life later, so he did not give the order to urge. But, Zilong. The matter of the White Horse River must be hidden, and sooner or later it will be known to the lord, so you should make some preparations in advance. ”

There was a pause in his voice. Xu Rong raised his hand to signal that Zhao Yun didn't need to be in a hurry to explain, and then said: "According to the scout detective, when General Zhou Yu led his troops to capture Anyi City this time, he let Sun Ce and Jiang Qi go without authorization. provoked the anger of the lord. General Zhou Yu was reinstated at the time of the Great War. Last night, he was taken back to the camp by the lord's personal guards, deprived of the right to lead the troops, and demoted to the head of the army. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Rong said to Zhao Yun earnestly: "This is the first time in more than three years that I have seen the lord so angry, and the first time that such a severe punishment has been given to the generals under his command. Who is Zhou Yu? It is no exaggeration to say that he is now a great fighter and a powerful man in the world. He is known as the 'first general of the Xiliang Army' by the world, holding more than 100,000 troops and states. He is high in the position of General Anbei, and his status in our army is second only to the lord, as if he is above 10,000 people under one person. But this time Zhou Yu broke into a big disaster, directly demoted from the general of Anbei to the head of the army, from the general of the army galloping on the battlefield to the scribe holding the pen, the gap is so big, it is tantamount to falling from the clouds to the mortal dust.

Yes, Zilong, what you did this time is quite similar to General Zhou Yu, and you let Liu Bei's army go privately on the banks of the White Horse River. Once this matter is known by the lord, it will inevitably repeat the mistakes of General Zhou Yu, Zilong's previous efforts, and the hard work made in the bloody battle, it is very likely that it will be burned, and he will even be reprimanded in public to set an example. I don't know how Zilong is going to return to the lord? ”

Zhao Yun's expression was slightly gloomy, but there was no look of regret and loneliness on his face, his eyes were still firm, and his waist was straight.

Obviously, he did not seem to intend to hide it, thinking that he had done the right thing and had a clear conscience. However, he also knew that he deserved to be punished this time, because he did let Liu Bei and the injured Zhang Fei go on the banks of the White Horse River, as well as thousands of remnants of Liu Bei's soldiers.

This incident happened at noon yesterday, almost at the same time as Zhou Yu's army captured Anyi City, when Sun Ce broke out of the siege. At that time, Zhao Yun led more than 15,000 lightly armed cavalry to pursue all the way south, capturing thousands of prisoners of war along the way, most of whom were Xuzhou soldiers. At noon, Zhao Yun led his troops to take a small road to the front of the rout, and finally intercepted the princes who fled all the way to their lives on the bank of the Baima River - Liu Bei of Xuzhou.

What happened next made the tens of thousands of light cavalrymen of the Flying Bear Battalion present unforgettable, because they all witnessed the whole process with their own eyes. When Zhao Yun led the army to surround Liu Bei's army, which was about to cross the river, Liu Bei was very panicked at first, and he crossed the river on his horse without thinking about it. However, when Liu Bei, who was anxious to flee for his life, turned around and saw that the leading general turned out to be Zhao Yun, he rode his horse to Zhao Yun as if he had been stunned, and nagged about his old friendship with Zhao Yun with a handful of snot and tears, and then straightened his neck and asked Zhao Yun to cut it off to ask for credit.

In the face of such a scene, what else could Zhao Yun do, if he really drew his sword and cut off Liu Bei's head, I am afraid that he would be Changshan Zhao Zilong, but Xiliang Li Li. Because, if Li Li encountered such a good thing, he would definitely not hesitate to chop it down with a sword, but it was a pity that Liu Bei would never be able to stick his head in front of him.

As a result, Liu Bei left with the remnants of the defeated generals without danger, while Zhao Yun repeated the mistake of Zhou Yu and was charged with arson.

In silence, Zhao Yun sorted out his thoughts slightly, and then said with a firm expression: "The matter has come to this, and it is useless to conceal it." One person does things and one person is responsible for it, and this matter is all done by the last general, and it has nothing to do with the soldiers of the Flying Bear Battalion. If the lord blames him, I, Zhao Yun, am willing to shoulder all the blame and die without complaint! ”

Xu Rong stared at Zhao Yun scrutinizing for a long time, and then laughed and said: "Zilong is arrogant, loyal and courageous, and deserves to be the tiger general of the world who is deeply appreciated by the lord!" Since Zilong is fearless, then we will set off immediately and go to Hangu Pass. Hahaha??????"
