Chapter 312: Grab the Wheat 3

When Yan Liang saw that his soldiers were basically slaughtered against Xu Huang's army, he did not dare to fight any more, so he immediately took the lead in retreating. In this way, Xu Huang's army chased Yan Liang's army's butt and slaughtered. Xu Huang's battle became happier and happier. The battle was too easy. He wanted to escape as soon as he contacted the other party. What else could he fight? Isn't it just waiting for the unilateral massacre of Lu Ning's army? Xu Huang led the soldiers desperately to chase Yan Liang's army.

What Yan Liang did not expect was that he led the army to escape and wanted to escape, but that was his wishful thinking. His army's retreat had long been cut off by Zhao Yun's 10,000 Feixiong Army, and he was waiting for his army to arrive.

Yan Liang led the army to escape and found that the retreat had been cut off. The crossbows in the hands of Zhao Yun's 10,000 Feixiong soldiers also shot at his defeated generals. Yan Liang's soldiers saw that there were followers behind him and large troops were blocking him. In order to survive, they had to dismount and surrender one after another, waiting for the Lu Ning soldiers to accept them. Yan Liang was really not simple. He led hundreds of soldiers to a bloody road and escaped from the encirclement of Lu Ning's army. Of course, only dozens of cavalry returned to Yecheng in the end.

In this battle, the Lu Ning army paid the price of more than 500 soldiers and completely wiped out Yuan Shao's cavalry. More than 6,000 enemy soldiers were killed and more than 5,000 were captured. Only Yan Liang fled with dozens of cavalry. The Lu Ning army also seized more than 4,000 war horses.

Yuan Shao saw the only more than 10,000 cavalry under his command in the city, and he went out of the city for more than two hours. When he came back, he was only a few dozen cavalry. He was angry, shocked and frightened. After Yan Liang finished reporting the entire battle, Yuan Shao and his men were stunned. They really did not expect that Lu Ning Feixiong Army would have such strong combat power, and completely gave up their plans to go out of the city to fight.

At this moment, Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Xindu City, sent someone to send information and reported the situation. After reading it, Yuan Shao said, "Let's talk about whether to let the troops and horses of Julu and Qinghe and the army of Xindu join forces with the army of Xindu to encircle and annihilate Zhang He and the two armies of Zhang Liao. The intelligence said that it was Zhang He and Zhang Liao, and only led less than 40,000 people to redirect into the hinterland of Jizhou to harvest wheat. Among them, there are 10,000 troops and soldiers who are specifically used to harvest wheat."

After reading the information, Ju Su thought that he had lost more than 10,000 cavalry just now, but now he is imaginary. The soldiers and horses in Xindu, Julu and Qinghe are only thirteen or forty thousand. Can they really beat Zhang He and Zhang Liao's 40,000 troops? If you get rid of the soldiers guarding the city, you can only use about 100,000 soldiers. Is there a chance of winning? I'm afraid it's another trap. "Lord, this is a trick to lure the enemy. We can't get any more eggs. Our army has just lost cavalry. If the soldiers from those three places suffer any losses, how can we defend the city again? Maybe it's a matter of stealing chickens and losing rice. Please think twice."

Yuan Shao was so angry after hearing this. He wished he could eat Ju Shu. Why did you keep that pot? Are you obviously saying that I am incompetent? "You can't let Zhang Liao and Zhang He's two-way army rush to harvest wheat unscrupulously in the hinterland of Jizhou? Then even if our army guards the city, what should we eat after Lu Ning retreats? It would be strange if we don't starve to death. Besides, Lu Ning has received so much food from us, so he will retreat easily. If our army does not find a way to defeat Lu Ning, he will be trapped to death."

After reading the information, Guo Tu knew that he could not send troops to fight Zhang He and Zhang Liao's army in field battles, but after hearing Yuan Shao's words, he did not dare to persuade him again. "Lord, the three sides of the Grand Prince and the three sides sent troops to encircle and suppress Zhang He and Zhang Liao's army at the same time. Although it is a bit risky, if it is operated well, there is still hope. But the soldiers in my Ye City must not be dispatched. As soon as the soldiers in my Ye City leave the city, they will be chased by the Big Bear Army immediately. The Big Bear Army has war horses, and even the infantry uses war horses to travel. How could our infantry run better than the Big Bear cavalry?"

After reading the information, Dong Zhao listened for a long time before saying, "Lord, let Julu and Qinghe second place send troops to help Xindu encircle and annihilate Zhang He. Zhang Liao's army must be careful. If there is any loss, it will throw away these three places. Now there is not much territory in Jizhou in the Lord's hands. If these three places are lost again, the Lord will only have an isolated city."

Yuan Shao glanced at everyone and said, "I know these, but our army always huddled in the city, allowing Lu Ning's army to unscrupulously seize wheat in the hinterland of Jizhou, but our army has no choice but to do so. This is not a solution. We must find a way to repel Lu Ning's army, or have any way to make Lu Ning withdraw its troops on its own initiative. Otherwise, if he does not retreat, our army will be more passive in the future. The morale of the army and the people will be disloyal, so that's all that."

Of course, Yuan Shao made a point, and the more he went, the more he was, the more he was, but there was no good way to solve this situation. Feng Ji thought for a while and said, "Lord, please send someone to Chang'an to ask the court to come forward to let Lu Ning retreat! Or send an envoy to negotiate with Da Xiong to see if Da Xiong can retreat. But in that case, Lu Ning would probably speak out loud, and the cost of compensation for the loss would be very high."

After hearing this, Ju Su sneered: "In the past, the decree of the late emperor did not play much role in Lu Ning. Now, the decree issued by the court controlled by Li and Guo Si can have effect on Lu Ning? The battle was caused by our first cause. If we want Lu Ning to withdraw our troops, we can only negotiate directly with Lu Ning. Those who should admit their mistakes must apologize, and those who should compensate for the losses must be compensated. This way, we will see if there is a 10% hope, otherwise it will be useless."

Yuan Shao's face looked very ugly when he heard this, and shouted loudly: "Let my upright fourth generation and third generation later admit his mistake to the village man who doesn't know a big word. He doesn't even have a door. What is Lu Ning? He even asked me to apologize. That's a delusion."

After hearing this, Xun Chen knew that it would be useless to say anything else, so he had to say, "Lord, then send someone to Chang'an to ask the court to mediate. I hope Lu Ning can listen to the court's will. This is the only way."

After hearing this, Yuan Shao said, "If you should arrange personnel in the court, please send people to you as soon as possible. As for the encirclement and annihilation of the army of Xindu, Julu and Qinghe, let them act carefully and cautiously. If you have the opportunity to annihilate the enemy, you can encircle and annihilate them, let them cooperate in combat and report the situation to me at any time."
