Back to the Three Kingdoms

Guo Tu said: "Chen Lang's army is still in northern Xinjiang. How can it be transferred to Jingxiang, thousands of miles away, to fight in a short time? If it can be so, it will be exhausted. How can it be Sun Jian's opponent? I can say At this moment, maybe Sun Jian has already breached Xiangyang, Fancheng and Wancheng and is approaching Luoyang! Success or failure will depend on this one move. If we retreat hastily, we will only miss our chance!"

Xu You said: "This is your wishful thinking. If Sun Jian can't break through Xiangfan, wouldn't it make our army useless in vain to consume food and grass in front of the tiger prison gate?!"

...

Seeing the two people arguing endlessly, Yuan Shao couldn't help but look at this and that, only to feel that what the two people said seemed to be reasonable, and there was confusion in his mind, and for a while he couldn't figure out what to do.

At this moment, an officer rushed in. Xu You and Guo Tu who were arguing couldn't help but stop.

The officer clasped his fists and said, "Enlighten the lord, Master Li, who is envoy to Jiang Xia, has sent someone here."

Everyone's eyes lit up, and Guo Tu exclaimed excitedly: "It must be good news!"

Yuan Shao was also very excited, and hurriedly said to the officer, "Hurry up and call someone in!" The officer promised and ran down, and then led an officer in the dust to come in.

The officer bowed to Yuan Shao and said, "The villain pays respects to the lord!"

Yuan Shao couldn't help standing up, and asked impatiently: "What's the situation in the south? Has Sun Jian already captured Xiangfan and approached Luoyang?"

The officer shook his head and said, "The subordinates were ordered to report to the lord. Sun Jian assembled an army of 300,000, but did not go to attack Xiangfan, but went down the river to attack Huainan!"

Everyone was stunned, only in disbelief. Yuan Shao returned to his senses and cursed angrily: "What is Sun Jian doing?! I told him to work with me against the traitor Chen Lang. How did he go to Huainan?!"

Guo Tu hurriedly asked the officer, "Is what you said is true?"

The officer said: "How can your subordinates dare to talk nonsense? Sun Jian had assembled an army of 300,000 and threatened to go north to Xiangfan, but just recently, for some reason, the assembled army of 300,000 went down the river, land and river! Lord Li saw the matter. The sudden change was afraid of affecting the master’s strategy, so he hurriedly ordered his subordinates to report the situation! When the subordinates left, I heard that Sun Jian had regained the Lujiang and other places previously ceded to Yuan Shu, and the army was like a broken bamboo!"

Jun and Minister Yuan Shao looked at each other, only feeling that the matter was unbelievable, and also annoyed at Sun Jian's rebellion.

Xu You twirled his beard and smiled: "What a Sun Jian! I think it must be difficult to get a bargain from Chen Lang, so I changed course to seek Huainan! Now Cao Mengde is leading the army and Yuan Shu's army to fight fiercely and is in a winning position. It’s just time for Sun Jian to dispatch troops to Huainan at this time!"

Yuan Shao couldn't help cursing: "Damn Sun Jian! He was called the Jiangdong Tigers in vain, but he did a lot of deeds! Previously, he secretly swallowed the jade seal of the country, but now he has turned his back!!"

Xu You clasped his fist and said: "Now Sun Jian has not invaded Zhongzhou as we hoped, and the situation has been reversed. If our army continues to fight Chen Lang, it will be impossible to fail with the hero's heroic talent, but I am afraid that it will sacrifice countless soldiers and waste in vain. Countless money and food will not yield any gains. Since it is useless to stay here, it is better to withdraw your troops and go back."

Yuan Shao couldn't help but nodded. Looking at Guo Tu, Guo Tu did not object to it at the moment. So Yuan Shao made up his mind and said loudly: "Although our army can eliminate Chen Lang, the time has passed, I'm afraid it will sacrifice the lives of countless soldiers! How can my heart bear! Send the three armies, the army will withdraw today!" Everyone clasped their fists. Praying: "The lord is wise!"

...

Sitting in the prison wagon, Jushou looked thoughtful at the stars in the night sky.

At this time, the officer in charge of guarding him came over.

Jushou quickly asked, "There are many knight scouts running to the big tent today, but what's going on?"

The officer walked to the prison car and couldn't help sighing, and said with emotion: "It's not because the eagle is raising the army! Alas, the eagle raising the army is really powerful! Do you know your lord? The 300 thousand Xianbei army of Su Li is here? On the way to the south, they were completely wiped out by the Ying Yang army!..."

Jushou was taken aback, and asked in disbelief, "Is it true?!"

The officer nodded, "It's true! I heard that not only Suli's army was completely annihilated, but also the Hetao, Yunzhong, Wuyuan, Dingxiang and other places have all been recovered by the Yingyang army! Alas, although Chen Lang is ours Enemy, but it also makes people have to admire! He is a hero of the world!"

auzw.com Ju Zui was uncertain, and his mind was full of thoughts.

The officer remembered another thing, and said, "By the way, there is news coming from the south, saying that Sun Jian had not attacked Xiangfan, but had gone to fight Yuan Shu in Huainan!"

Jushou frowned and murmured, "Sun Jian was known as the Jiangdong Tiger, but he did not expect to shrink back in front of the evil wolf, Chen Lang!" The officer nodded in agreement.

Jushou hurriedly asked, "How did the lord decide when these things happened?"

The officer said: "The lord has followed Xu You's suggestion and thought it would be useless to continue the fight. It was just a waste of money and food, so he decided to be a class teacher."

Jushou couldn't help cursing: "Xu You villain, harm the lord!"

The officer was taken aback, and hurriedly asked: "Why did you say this, your lord!"

Jushou frowned and said, "Although the Yingyang Army defeated the Xianbei people, they fought against the Xianbei people after traveling thousands of miles in northern Xinjiang. Level of combat effectiveness? At this time, the enemy forces guarding Hulaoguan and other places must be limited. If you attack with all your strength at this time, you will be able to determine the battle! If you withdraw at this time, wouldn't such a great opportunity be missed in vain?!"

The officer couldn't help feeling that what Jushou said was very reasonable, and couldn't help but say depressed: "But the lord has already decided, how can this be good?!"

Ju Sui said anxiously: "Take me to see the lord, I want to advise the lord!"

The officer looked embarrassed and said, "But, but the adult is now a prisoner, how can I rashly take the adult to see the lord? The lord can blame it, the villain can't afford it!"

Jushou hurriedly said: "The lord will be overjoyed after hearing my advice, how come I will blame you! Maybe the lord will reward you again when he is happy!"

The officer couldn't help being overjoyed. After thinking about it, he nodded and said; "I'll take the adults to see the lord!" Then he opened the gate of the prison car and led Ju out.

Yuan Shao looked at the map, frowning, with a troubled expression on his face. This time, Yuan Shao led a mighty army into the west. He had hoped to defeat Chen Lang and achieve Qianqiu hegemony in one fell swoop, but he didn't expect that a solid march would turn out to be like this! ? Sun Jian’s betrayal, the entire army of Xianbei was wiped out. The nobles in Luoyang have not heard from them so far, but his side has repeatedly suffered setbacks in front of the Hulao Pass and Poshui Pass. Even the generals of Yan Liangwen and Chou have been damaged. It is really not worth the loss. ! As for Liu Bei, although there is no news for the time being, he can't do anything with his mere 100,000 soldiers and horses. Yuan Shao couldn't help but sighed, a little unwilling in his heart, but if he wanted to continue fighting, he lacked interest.

At this time, footsteps came from the door.

Yuan Shao couldn't help but raised his head and looked towards the door, and suddenly saw Jushou, who was supposed to be in the prison car, come in. Yuan Shao was taken aback, and then thought of the other party's past benefits, and couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

Jushou bowed and said, "Subordinates pay respect to the lord."

Yuan Shao smiled and said: "It's you!" Then he asked: "You came to me suddenly, is there something wrong?"

Jushou straightened up, and said excitedly: "Master, his subordinates are here to see the master for the current war! The master must not retreat! This retreat is a failure!"

Yuan Shao looked a little unhappy, and said: "Our army suffered successive setbacks, morale was low, and the Xianbei army was wiped out, and Sun Jian was treachery! Under such circumstances, what can we gain if we continue to fight? It can only sacrifice the lives of soldiers in vain. !"

Jushou said angrily: "This must be Xu Youguo Tu's slander to the lord! The two of them are clearly going to harm the lord!"

Yuan Shao asked incomprehensibly: "Why did you say this?"

Ju Shou said anxiously: "The annihilation of the Xianbei army is not a bad thing but a good thing! This shows that the main force of the Yingyang army is in northern Xinjiang. The Yingyang army can wipe out Suli's army in such a short period of time and must concentrate all the elites. The main force can do it! Therefore, it is impossible for us to have many eagles up front! Our army can take this opportunity to concentrate on attacking, and we will be able to break the barrier in one fell swoop! Once the Tiger Laoguan barrier is broken, Luoyang is at your fingertips! Luoyang, the situation is set. , The whole situation is in the master's control! The fighter is right in front of you, and the master must not miss this golden opportunity of a lifetime!"

Yuan Shao couldn't help getting excited, and nodded happily: "Yes, you are right! You are too right! I almost missed this golden opportunity!!" Then he cursed angrily: "Xu Youguotu almost missed me!" Immediately call the messenger to send orders to all armies, the retreat order is revoked, the army is re-prepared, and tomorrow will launch a full-scale attack on Hulao Pass!

Jushou was overjoyed and said, "The lord is wise!"

Xu You is ordering his servants to pack up. However, at this moment, the messenger outside the tent was heard galloping over and shouting: "The lord has the order, the withdrawal order is revoked, and the army is ready to launch a full-scale attack on Hulaoguan tomorrow!!" Xu You was shocked and frowned. Said: "How did the lord change the order! I will go to see the lord!" Then he left the tent and went to the big tent. At this time, the entire barracks were clamoring, and Yuan Shao kept changing orders, making the officers and soldiers a little confused!

Xu You came to the big account and saw that Guo Tu was talking to Yuan Shao: "Lord! What Jushou said is simply a mistake! Who is Chen Lang? Wouldn't he leave enough soldiers to guard the Hulao Pass? Let's talk about the Hulao Guanxiong Pass. Natural dangers are the fact that our troops are not strong enough. With our soldiers’ morale repeatedly traumatized, it is impossible to break through in a short time!"
