Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turbans finally revolt

Chapter 285 The situation took a turn for the worse
The Battle of the White Horse came to an end.

When the battle situation took a turn for the worse, Xu Rong decisively chose to abandon the city and retreat westward.

The news of the capture of the white horse quickly spread to Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao was overjoyed, so he waved his hand and ordered:
"The white horse won a big victory, Xu Rong was defeated, ordered Yan Liang and Wen Chou, Jiang Qichun and Yu Qiong led the troops to chase together, and completely defeated Xu Rong's army!"

When Feng Ji heard this, he immediately persuaded him: "Your Majesty, as the saying goes, the poor should not be chased, not to mention that Xu Rong retreated on his own initiative, not in a rout, beware of fraud!"

"My lord, the white horse has fallen, Xu Rongjun has lost his grounds, and he has become a lonely ghost. It is time to go all out to avoid future troubles." Guo Tu also followed closely, expressing different opinions.

Hearing Fengji's words, Yuan Shao hesitated a bit. After all, the victory of the White Horse Battle largely depended on Fengji's seeing through Xu Rong's tricks and sending reinforcements in time. Guo Tu's words did not coincide with Yuan Shao's own thoughts. And together, so he is more inclined to pursue.

"What Gong Ze said is true, send troops to pursue immediately, and the rest will follow me to the White Horse!" Yuan Shao ordered.

Hearing this, Feng Ji shook his head helplessly.

Xu Rong led his army to run westward for a while, then turned around and ran towards Weixiang in the south, where Fan Chou's army was fighting with Ding Yuan's army. Although Weixiang was on the border between Dongjun and Chenliu, it was It is the intersection of official roads. Those who support Wei Township can take Lihu of the Jiyin Army in the east, Baima in the north, and Chenliu in the south. To the west is the place where Fan Chou's luggage is located, Yan County.

Although Wei Township is an important place that must be contested, there is no fortification here, and the terrain is flat, with fertile fields everywhere. Fan Chou's Xiliang Army and Ding Yuan's Bingzhou Army are mostly cavalry. The two sides have been fighting in this area for several days. The battlefield is not only on the official roads everywhere, but even the fields have been trampled countless times.

The few lands that were sown well were ruined, and many green grasses were even used as fodder for war horses. The local civilians complained a lot about this, but both sides in the war could not afford to suffer, and there was suffering.

In the camp of Fan Chou's army, Fan Chou, who had just risen for a short time, heard the news of the fall of the white horse.

For a while, I didn't even come back to my senses.

"How is it possible, the white horse is guarded by General Xu Rong, how could it be lost within a day of fighting!"

When Xu Rong defeated the Kwantung Allied Forces in a row, Fan Chou almost worshiped Xu Rong as a military god. When Dong Zhuo ordered Xu Rong to send troops to Dongjun, Fan Chou also volunteered to fight side by side with his idol.

However, the idol collapsed so quickly?

"General, General Xu Rong, please see me!" A sudden announcement came from outside the tent.

"What? We heard it right, can you say it again?"

"General Xu Rong, please see me!" the soldier said again.

When Fan Chou heard this, he immediately took his helmet and put it on, and quickly walked out of the tent: "Take me to meet the general!"

Soon, Fan Chou came outside the camp and saw Xu Rong. He was riding in front of him, with mighty cavalry behind him.

Fan Chou was still wondering, didn't it mean that Xu Rong was defeated?Looking at the posture, I really think there is nothing to lose!Could it be that there is something else hidden about the defeat of the white horse?

Fan Chou stepped forward to salute, and then asked: "General Xu, why are you here?"

Xu Rong got off his horse and walked towards Fan Chou, "Naturally he came for victory."

"Victory? What does the general mean?" Fan Chou was puzzled.

Xu Rong gave a rare smile, "General Fan, Mr. Dong ordered you and me to attack Yanzhou East County. You and I should work together and cooperate closely."

"It's natural."

So what exactly do you want to say?Fan Chou thought to himself.

"Yuan Shao's army besieged the white horse. I planned to break it, but capable people saw it through. Even if we stick to the white horse, it would be futile. The white horse is no longer a place to win. Why should I waste time?"

Fan Chou was startled when he heard Xu Rong's words, marching and fighting, how can he still think so?
The white horse is no longer a place to win, so I will not defend it. Is it okay to think so?
"Then General Xu thinks, where is the place to win?"

Xu Rong smiled and said, "Of course it's in Wei Township."

"In Wei Township?"

Fan Chou was confused again. He had been fighting with Ding Yuan in Weixiang for a long time, but Ding Yuan was not an idiot, and his fighting style was resolute.

"You and I join forces, the force is already superior, and Ding Yuanan will be undefeated!"

When Fan Chou thought about it, it seemed reasonable, but he couldn't figure it out. In order to defeat Ding Yuan, did he abandon a city?It is still an important town of Baima.

This is not a blood loss?
"General Xu, if you trade a white horse for Ding Yuan, will you have to make up for it?"

"No!" Xu Rong denied it, then approached Fan Chou, and said in a soft voice: "If Ding Yuan is defeated, he must retreat to Jiyin. Our army will take advantage of the victory to pursue and attack Lihu. This Lihu is Yuan Jun's supply base in Baima. Dao, if it is cut off by us, how can Yuan Jun occupy the white horse for a long time?"

Fan Chou's eyes lit up, "A word from the general is like turning the clouds to see the sun. No wonder Mr. Dong praised the general for using his troops like a god! Good! I will cooperate sincerely with the general and defeat Ding Yuan! Soldiers are precious and fast. In my opinion, we might as well set off immediately and kill him directly." To Ding Yuan camp!"

"No! Before that, there is one more thing!" Xu Rong said.

"What's the matter?"

"Yuan Shao is greedy for profit. Knowing that I am retreating, he will definitely lead his troops to chase after me. Just now I passed a small hill with dense forests, and it is very easy to set up an ambush. General Fan can lead his troops to set up an ambush here, and I will be responsible for bringing Yuan's army forward. At that time, the general will attack. , I will kill the horse again, and Yuan Jun will be undefeated!"

Fan Chou smiled brightly, and completely dispelled the thought of questioning Xu Rong's general ability.

"The general is wise, Fan Chou is at the command of the general!"

"General Fan was joking, you and I will work together to make meritorious deeds!"

……

Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Jiang Qichun and Yu Qiong were ordered to pursue Xu Rong, but they were stunned at a fork in the road.

Because the two roads to the west and south have traces of a large number of soldiers and horses.

"Xu Rong was defeated and fled. Naturally, he returned to Sili, and he should pursue westward!" Wen Chou said.

Jiang Qi said: "The road to the south leads to Wei Township, the place where Fan Chou garrisons. Xu Rong fled lightly, without luggage, so he must go to Fan Chou."

Yan Liang agreed with Wen Chou's opinion, but Chunyu Qiong did not express his opinion.

"How about this, Yan Liang and I pursue westward, General Jiang and General Chunyu attack southward, how about?"

"Okay!" Jiang Qi replied, looking at Chunyu Qiong, Chunyu Qiong nodded.

So the two armies marched separately, Yan Liangwen Chou continued to march westward, while Jiang Qi and Chunyuqiong went south.

Jiang Qi and Chun Yuqiong followed the traces left by Xu Rong's escape and became more and more sure that this was the way Xu Rong escaped.

While running, he suddenly saw a soldier and horse resting in front of him, and the banner was "Xu"!
Without saying a word, Jiang Qi directly ordered to charge. The cavalry under his command howled when they saw the target, and rushed forward. In their eyes, the resting soldiers and horses of the opponent were like military exploits that could be taken at will.

Seeing that Yuan Jun was indeed catching up, Xu Rong got on his horse and fled forward, even throwing away some of his weapons and flags.

"The enemy fled in panic, catch up quickly!" Chunyu Qiong shouted, looking at the flag on the ground, raising his gun.

On the narrow official road, the two soldiers and horses still galloped by. Xu Rongjun had waited for a long time, so he had enough horsepower. For this reason, he deliberately slowed down, thinking that as long as the opponent was a little faster, The illusion of being able to catch up.

Soon, Xu Rongjun passed through the dense forest and continued to flee forward without stopping.

Jiang Qi and Chun Yuqiong chased after each other, and by accident, Jiang Qi glanced at the dense forest, and a flash of uneasiness flashed in his mind.

"No, it's a trick!" Jiang Qi said, and immediately reined in the horse and slowed down.

Chunyuqiong was very puzzled, and shouted: "Why did General Jiang stop!"

Then rushed to the front.

"General Chunyu, beware of fraud!"

As soon as the words fell, there was a rustling sound in the dense forest, and then horses rushed out of it, and killed Jiang Qi and Chun Yuqiong's cavalry column.

Encountering the enemy from the side is the most dangerous way to fight in a column march. Without hesitation, Jiang Qi ordered the rear army to change to the front and retreat directly.

The war horses turned around one after another, and at the same time, Xu Rong's soldiers and horses also started to turn around, killing a carbine.

Some of Jiang Qijun started to turn around, some didn't turn around, and some wanted to turn around, but the horses didn't turn around, and the scene fell into chaos for a while.

"Quickly evacuate!" Jiang Qi urged again, but no matter how much he urged, the situation did not change for the better.

So he turned and shouted: "Ready to kill the enemy!"

Because Fan Chou's cavalry had rushed up.

In the confrontation and attrition battle with Ding Yuan, not only Fan Chou, but also the soldiers were very annoyed. At this moment, a well-designed ambush vented the anger in their hearts, and it was extremely hearty.

Looking at the chaotic Yuan Jun in front of him, Fan Choujun seemed to think of the Battle of Hanoi, and only knew Yuan Jun was fleeing, so his morale was greatly boosted.

The cavalry showed their sharpness, and directly rushed into Yuan Jun's formation, cut it into two sections, and entered the battle formation. The Xiliang army slashed and stabbed quickly, killing Yuan Jun who had no intention of fighting, and the casualties increased sharply.

Looking at the completely one-sided battle, Jiang Qi knew that no matter how excited he was, it would have little effect, so let's run away, as much as he can escape, as much as possible.

"Stop fighting, retreat quickly!" Jiang Qi yelled, stabbing a Xiliang soldier in front to death, throwing his body out forcefully, and hitting another person.

"Kill!" Xu Rong yelled, and led his troops to kill. Yuan Jun's former army immediately fell into a siege. Many people even jumped off their horses, surrendered on the spot, or fled towards the periphery on foot.

Of course, what was waiting for them was a one-sided fight. The Xiliang army regarded military exploits as treasure, so how could they give up the opportunity to obtain military exploits so easily.

Jiang Qi and Chun Yuqiong counted on killing a bloody road, and looked back in horror. The original front army and the current rear army are simply horrible. They have been killed to the last, and the Xiliang army is still galloping. , and pursue them.

"Hey! Not enough success, more failure!" Jiang Qi scolded himself, and fled along the official road without looking back.

The Xiliang army pursued them all the way, and killed them for several miles. On the official road, blood flowed like a river.

"Hahaha! Have fun!" Fan Chou looked at Yuan Jun's deserters, raised his hand, and signaled the soldiers under his command to stop chasing him.

What a joy!How many did he kill?twenty?Absolutely more than that!

"This battle has achieved quite a lot, but Jiang Qi is quite clever. If he finds out later, if we cut off his tail, the whole army may be wiped out!" Fan Chou said.

"General Fan knows this person?" Xu Rong asked.

Fan Chou and Jiang Qi fought several times in Hanoi. Although this man's combat power is mediocre, he can lead troops. According to Fan Chou, he is more difficult to deal with than Yan Liangwen.

"I have fought several times in Hanoi. This man is good at commanding troops. If we fight head-on, we may not be able to reap the benefits. The chaos in today's battle is mostly because Chunyu Qiong is with him."

It was Xu Rong's first contact with these two people. Although it was hard to see how powerful Jiang Qi was in this battle, Chunyu Qiong's name was clearly in vain.

What is one of the eight captains of the Xiyuan Army, Xiaowei is almost the same.

"After this defeat, Yuan Jun didn't dare to pursue it again. Our army seized this opportunity and seized the time to attack Ding Yuan together and capture Lihu." Xu Rong said.

Fan Chou breathed a sigh of relief, followed Xu Rong to fight, and the rhythm was really full.

just a little tired...

……

In Puyang, when he learned that Yuan Shao occupied the white horse and stationed himself in the white horse, Lu Bu immediately felt restless.

Since the last time Yuan Yi suddenly changed his route of attack and headed east, Lu Bu lost his supply source again.

Relying on Chen Gong to raise food and grass in Puyang, it has become more and more difficult to support Lu Bu's military food expenditure.

At this time, Yuan Shaojun occupied the white horse, which is undoubtedly very unfavorable news.

In Chen Gong's eyes, voting for Yuan Shao is not a high priority, unless it's a desperate situation.

"Mr. Gongtai, will Yuan Shao attack Puyang?"

Chen Gong couldn't answer these words.

"Yuan Shao got a white horse one day, I thought it was not so simple! With Xu Rong's talent, how could he not be able to defend this high-walled city, I thought there must be something strange." Chen Gong pondered.

"What's so strange?" Lu Bu asked curiously with his eyes wide open.

"If it is said that Xu Rong did not simply lose, but had other plans, in this land of Yanzhou, besides Yuan Shao, Ding Yuan is the only one who can be plotted by Xu Rong."

Hearing Ding Yuan's name, Lu Bu's expression shook slightly, apparently recalling something.

"How about Xu Rong?"

"Combine forces with Fan Chou and attack Ding Yuan together. According to the current situation, if Ding Yuan is defeated, Lihu is in danger. If Lihu is lost, Yuan Shao occupying the white horse is like being trapped on an isolated island. Supplies will become a problem."

Lu Bu didn't understand very well, looking at the city marked on the map in front of him, he found the location of Lihu.

"Mr. Gongtai, then Xu Rong and Fan Chou join forces to attack Ding Yuan, Ding Yuan will be defeated, what about us?" Lu Bu still brought the topic to himself.

Chen Gong shook his head, found a seat and sat down.

"If Yuan Shao has a firm foothold, I will vote for Yuan Shao. If Xu Rong has a firm foothold, I will vote for Dong Zhuo and sacrifice Puyang. Besides these two methods, there are two other methods. Feng Xian can serve as my staff advisor."

"Oh? There are still two roads? So many? Please tell me, sir!"

Chen Gongdao: "Right now Qingzhou Yellow Turbans are withdrawn from Jibei Kingdom, but there are still many Yellow Turbans in Taishan County, and there is no prefect to govern the county. Our army can abandon Puyang and go to Taishan to find a foothold."

"And another one?"

Chen Gong looked at Lu Bu, but did not speak.

Lu Bu is at a loss, what does this mean?
"I'm not looking at the general, I'm looking at the north. If there is no way out from the south, the east, and the east, we can only go to Beitou. In the north, whoever can accept you and me..." Chen Gong paused.

"Only the King of Bohai, Bingzhou Mu, Liu Qing!"
