Yan Gang listened to Li Jing and Liu Rui's words and wanted to understand the reasoning, so he didn't mention the pursuit.

Liu Rui said: "The two of you will reorganize the soldiers as soon as possible. We will wait until Zhao Yun's reinforcements arrive before sending troops to Yecheng."

"No!" The two turned around and walked out of the tent.

Gongsun Baoyue stood up from Gongsun Zan's spiritual seat, came to Liu Rui and said, "Big Brother Liu!"

"Baoyue, don't worry, I will definitely cut off Yuan Shao's head!" Liu Rui gently took Gongsun Baoyue into his arms and comforted her.

Sure enough, as Li Jing said, Yuan Shao retreated with the army, and Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Zhang He led the troops to ambush on the retreat road.After waiting for a long time, Yuan Shao's army had already withdrawn safely, and the three men and their respective ambush men caught up with Yuan Shao's army and returned to life.

Ju Shuo said, "My lord, it seems that Liu Rui guessed that our army would have an ambush, so he did not send troops to pursue it." Of course, he would not tell Yuan Shao that Liu Rui had only [-] soldiers and horses, and he not only wanted to rectify the soldiers originally belonging to Gongsun Zan Horses, but also to deal with the soldiers and horses of our own side that were captured in World War I today.If Yuan Shao was told this, it would be a huge humiliation for Yuan Shao who loves face, and he would suffer at that time.

"It's fine if there is no pursuit. If you go on an overnight march, you must return to Ye City by tomorrow morning." Yuan Shao also let out a long sigh of relief.In the battle with Liu Rui today, the assault ability of Liu Rui and his three thousand elite knights had already brought him enough shocks.The formation of his own army of tens of thousands was actually so vulnerable in front of his elite cavalry.If he couldn't hold it for even a moment, he was already defeated.

Even now, when Yuan Shao thinks about it, he feels that his back is cold, and without the protection of Yecheng, which is high and deep, he is still worried that a Liu Rui will suddenly come out from behind him.

After marching all night, Yuan Shao's army finally returned to Yecheng at dawn that day.When Yuan Shao saw the high walls of Ye City, he finally put his heart back into his stomach.

"Quick, go and call the city gate!" Yuan Shao hurriedly said to the guards beside him.

A guard came to the city and said loudly, "Open the city gate, the lord is back!"

Hearing the words, the guards above the city gate held up torches and took a photo of the army they recognized as Yuan Shao. While going down to open the city gate, they went to notify the eldest son Yuan Tan, the general Gao Lan, the advisor Shen Pei, and Xu You who were staying in the city. , Xin Ping and others came to greet Yuan Shao.Xiaoshuowa novel network www.xiaoshuowa.com

"From today onwards, the whole city is in a state of combat readiness. No one can open the city gate without my order, and anyone who violates the order will be executed!" Yuan Shao issued the first order when he returned to the governor's mansion in the city.

By the Panhe River, in Liu Rui's camp.

After a busy night, Li Jing and Yan Gang have successfully collected those soldiers who surrendered. Originally, there were some soldiers who were expecting Yuan Shao to bring troops to rescue them. After knowing that Yuan Shao had escaped, they surrendered to Liu Rui without hesitation. 's subordinates.

"My lord, General Zhao is here!" Shen Luoyan walked into the central army tent with a hint of excitement on her face and reported.

Liu Rui nodded and said, "Where are the others?"

"General Zhao will be stationed next to the [-] horses he brought, and he is waiting outside the tent to be summoned by the lord!" Shen Luoyan said.

Liu Rui smiled slightly and said, "Let Zilong come in!"

"promise!"

After a while, Zhao Zilong hurriedly walked into the central army tent, knelt down on one knee in front of Liu Rui, and said excitedly: "The last general Zhao Yun pays tribute to the lord!"

Liu Rui said with a smile: "Zilong, get up. Luoyan, you go and notify Li Jing and Yan Gang to come."

"promise!"

After a long time, Li Jing and Yan Gang followed Shen Luoyan to the tent of the Chinese army.

"Meet the lord!"

"No need to be polite, General Zhao has already come with an army of [-] people. Let's discuss how to attack Yecheng next!" Liu Rui said.

Yan Gang took the lead and said, "My lord, the last commander is willing to lead the army to attack Yecheng for the vanguard."

Liu Rui understands Yan Gang's eagerness for revenge, but his abilities are just average, and he is still injured and is not suitable for being a pioneer.

"The last will be the vanguard!" Zhao Yunshan said in front of him.

Liu Rui said noncommittally: "Pharmacist, what should you do?" ,, . . .

214: Yuan Shao asks for help

Li Jing said: "My lord, our army now has [-] cavalry, about [-] surrendered soldiers yesterday, [-] soldiers and horses of General Zhao, and [-] soldiers and horses originally under Lord Gongsun. Among these soldiers and horses, the number of cavalry accounts for We are about to start a siege battle. With Yuan Shao's character, he must be sticking to Jizhou City. If so, how should our cavalry attack the city? Without any siege equipment, I would The army could only stare blankly.

Hearing this, Zhao Yun and Yan Gang's faces were full of embarrassed expressions, because they knew that Li Jing's analysis was completely correct.Yecheng is the state capital of Jizhou. The city is high and deep. If there is no siege equipment or the like, it is very difficult to invade Yecheng.

Shen Luoyan continued: "And our army's current supply of food and grass is a big problem. Our army's first batch of food and grass has not yet arrived here from Changshan County."

"Our army rested in Panhe, and sent our soldiers to make equipment such as ladders for siege. Wait until the food and grass are ready before attacking Yecheng!" Liu Rui thought for a while and finally made a decision.

"No!" the generals said in unison.

Yecheng Governor's House.

Yuan Shao sat on the main seat and looked at the advisors and generals in the hall and said, "It is impossible to resolve the grievance with Liu Rui this time, and Liu Rui will definitely raise troops to attack. Although I have already sent out a request to various princes for help. I believe, but there may not be a few of these princes who were captured by Liu Rui's bravery!"

Tian Feng said with a smile: "Don't disturb my lord, although the lords of the world are captured by Liu Rui's bravery, but they will also consider that if the lord is eliminated by Liu Rui, then the whole of Hebei will belong to Liu Rui. This scene This is what princes from all walks of life do not want to see. So even if they know that Liu Rui is not easy to mess with, they have to stand on the Lord's side this time."

"Yuan Hao is right. Once Liu Rui gets the land of Hebei, he can attack Qing, Yan, and Henan to conquer the world, and if he retreats, he can defend the land of Hebei and become king. These are not what the princes of the world want to see. Yes." Ju Shu said with a smile.

Seeing that Tian Feng and Ju Shou both said the same thing, Yuan Shao finally calmed down and said, "You are right. However, we still need to strengthen the security in the city, don't forget how Liu Yu's Jizhou City was attacked by Liu Rui overnight. Attacked."

"No!" The crowd responded in unison.

Yuan Shao's letter of help was quickly sent to the hands of the princes by his messengers.The first person who received the letter was Zhang Yang, the prefect of Shangdang. Zhang Yang was Yuan Shao's best friend. After receiving the letter, he ordered [-] horses to go straight to Yecheng without any hesitation.

Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu, and Zhang Chao, the prefect of Guangling, also sent troops. Of course, some people did not send troops, such as Kong Rong of Beihai.Qiankun Tingshu Network www.qktsw.com

On the one hand, Kong Rong did not fight because he was originally on Liu Rui's side. Liu Rui's behavior in the nineteen-way lords' meeting, staying in Luoyang to appease the people, and sending troops to repel the Wuhuan army completely conquered Kong Rong. .Of course, on the other hand, now that the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans are raging, he can't draw any troops at all.

East County.

In the Sheriff's House.

"Zhicai, what do you think of Yuan Benchu's letter of help?" Cao Cao handed the letter of help to his first adviser, Xi Zhicai.

Xi Zhicai stroked his beard and said, "Yuan Benchu's letter of request for help is actually a warning letter, he is forcing various princes to help him. Gongsun Zan died, and his territory naturally fell into Liu Rui's hands. In other words, Liu Rui now not only controls some counties and counties in Jizhou, but also controls the entire Youzhou. In this way, his strength is the largest among the princes. If Yuan Shao is destroyed, then the land of Hebei will be destroyed. There is no one who can stop the expansion of his power. At that time, there will be no rivals in the world. But if we send troops to help, we will offend Liu Rui to death, and then we and him will only be able to go to war. Not to mention Liu Rui himself, there are so many strategists under his command, and it is terrible to be an enemy of someone like him!"
