Chapter 406 Yuan Shu Has Withdrawn His Troops

Dawn the next day!

Yuan Shu reorganized his troops!

After counting, the military law enumerator tremblingly came to report: "My lord, last night our army lost nearly [-] soldiers, and discarded countless armor and ordnance."

Thirty thousand is within an acceptable range.

I still have 14 troops under the city of Tan County.

I still have a huge force.

So Yuan Shu asked Yuan Huan who had just walked into the tent: "Qing Yao, what do you want to do next?"

Yuan Huan said: "My lord, retreat and withdraw from Donghai County!"

"Hmm! What's Yao Qing's meaning? Now that we have counted the losses, our advantage is still there, and the loss is not too much, so why should we withdraw our troops?" Yuan Shu was a little unhappy, and his face suddenly turned down.

Yuan Huan said: "My lord, I just received news from the south that Xu Ding's apprentice Tian Yu and his subordinate Lu Su captured Huaipu. Xu Ding's men Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin attacked the prime minister by water, and took a circle to capture the upper reaches of Huaiyin. Dai headed south with a rout, presumably he wanted to return to Yangzhou, but I guess he will be defeated, and he will be defeated completely."

"What? Liu Yao wants to return to Yangzhou." Yuan Shu really couldn't accept it.

The only ally, was beaten away without even seeing him.

The Xu Ding Department on the southern line has complete room for maneuver and can come to support Tan County.

overnight!

Completely reversed the situation.

Yuan Huan said again: "Yes, my lord, Lu Ke's information, Liu Ye, Liu Yao's military adviser, led [-] elite soldiers and went to the northwest alone."

I……

Yuan Shu wanted to curse.

How could Liu Yao be so miserable that even his military advisers abandoned him.

This incompetent guy, this prodigal has also lost too thoroughly.

"So you are afraid that the Xu Ding Department will come to reinforce Tan County." Yuan Shu also discovered this difficult problem.

If you don't attack by force, you can't take Tan County in a short time. If you attack by force, you may not be able to take it down either.

It's a dilemma.

"My lord Xu Ding's army coming to Tan County for reinforcements is still controllable. The most fearful thing is that they will enter Pengcheng Kingdom along Surabaya, and then they will also come to cut off the back road and outflank us. Let us repeat Liu Yao's tragedy."

Silk!
Hearing what Yuan Huan said, Yuan Shu finally raised this crucial question.

If Xu Ding really performed such a shocking act again, it is estimated that not only would he be ashamed to death, even Yuan Huan and other Yuan Shu's generals could commit suicide and apologize.

Liu Yao's lesson is right now, if they don't become more vigilant, they will really be doomed.

Yuan Shu suddenly fell into deep thought.

Do you want to retreat so simply!
This time Yuan Huan didn't urge him either, and waited quietly for Yuan Shu to make a decision.

After much deliberation, Yuan Shu finally said: "Order Ji Ling to lead [-] soldiers to withdraw to Pengcheng Kingdom first. Surabaya must be contained, and Pengcheng Kingdom must not be lost."

After the order was issued, Yuan Shu turned around and said to Yuan Huan, "Qing Yao, don't rush to withdraw the army, just wait a day or two and see the final result in the south."

Yuan Shu still had a little illusion about Liu Yao's report. What if Liu Yao suddenly became violent, just like he first attacked Xuzhou, and went directly to the two counties and pushed forward.

Even though he knew that the result would not be too big, he still had a glimmer of hope.

Yuan Huan said: "This plan is feasible, but my lord can gather the soldiers to the west gate instead of encircling them, in case Xu Ding seizes the opportunity."

Yuan Huan didn't think that Xu Ding would have no way to know the news from the south. After leaving Ji Ling, his army was reduced by one-third.

The encircled forces on all sides were slightly diluted.

The Donglai Army is no different than other troops, and they must not be taken lightly in front of them, and must be treated with caution.

Yuan Shu nodded slightly: "Just do what Yao Qing said."

The news of Yuan Shu's withdrawal from the siege spread to the city, immediately making Tao Qian and his subordinates very excited.

"Bokang and Yuan Shu withdrew from the siege. It seems that he suffered a lot last night." Tao Qian was very happy. After last night's battle, they reversed their defeat and finally they didn't have to be overwhelmed by Yuan Shu.

"Next, Yuan Shu will retreat to Pengcheng." Xu Ding nodded.

Everything is expected.

The winner was determined on the southern front, Liu Yao was wiped out, and Yuan Shu could not support himself. He should be wiser if he is not afraid of being copied by himself.

Otherwise, I don't mind eating until his bones are gone.

"Your Majesty may have said it too early. Yuan Shu was defeated last night. He just reorganized his troops and made new deployments. He might retreat before he could." Cao Hong stood up and said something, and other Xuzhou officials also agreed. .

It is true that Yuan Shuxin was defeated, but it would be too incompetent to retreat to Pengcheng like this.

With an army of 10,000+, Yuan Shu would lose face even in a head-to-head battle.

They don't know anything else, but they know that Yuan Shu is a good face anyway.

Xu Ding didn't speak, and filled himself with wine alone, smiling a little weirdly.

Yuan Shu withdrew from the siege, the east and south were no longer blocked, and soon the news that Liu Yao was defeated and fled south was sent into the city.

Everyone was dumbfounded at this moment.

Liu Yao is finished.

His [-] troops are gone?

This is too fast.

Only now did they understand that Xu Ding was confident in his determination that Yuan Shu would retreat.

It turned out that this guy got wind of it.

It's just that if Liu Yao is defeated, Yuan Shu may not really retreat. He has an army of more than [-], and there are also major families in Xuzhou who have defected, and their roots are deeper than Liu Yao.

The background of Four Generations and Three Dukes is no joke.

Another day passed quickly, and at this time the city gate came to report: "Report! Good news, my lord, Yuan Shu has withdrawn his troops. Yuan Shu's tens of thousands of troops are retreating to Pengcheng Kingdom!"

"Okay!" Tao Qian was very excited when he heard the news.

As Xu Ding guessed, Yuan Shu withdrew his troops and went to Pengcheng Kingdom within five days.

Now Tan County is completely safe.

Although Cao Bao and Cao Hong were also a little surprised, their faces were more ugly.

Xu Ding made the right bet, Yuan Shu, a young boy, really withdrew his troops and went to Pengcheng Kingdom.

It's too illogical to retreat without even having a formal fight.

"Everyone, it looks like I'm about to win now." Xu Ding looked at Cao Bao, Cao Hong and the others and said quite proudly.

The people who gambled with Xu Ding whispered one after another, talking endlessly, everyone was extremely worried.

Cao Hong stood up again and said, "Your Majesty, Yuan Shu's retreat to Pengcheng may be just a strategic consolidation of the land to avoid making Liu Yao's mistakes. It may be more difficult for him to withdraw from Xuzhou than to push the sky."

The more Yuan Shu retreated, the more he would be able to hold on to the city's defenses. Xu Ding would have to spend more to attack, and correspondingly, it would be more difficult to defeat Yuan Shu.

When everyone thinks about it, it seems to be true.

It is almost impossible to repel Yuan Shu and leave Xuzhou within ten days.

"Let's wait and see, I believe many miracles will happen." Xu Ding didn't explain too much, because the vision of this group of people is too small.

You think you have to defeat Yuan Shu in Xuzhou if you want to repel Yuan Shu, don't you know that there will be many factors that will make Yuan Shu have to retreat.

In the next few days, more news came back from the south.

Liu Yao was completely defeated at Guangling City, and all the generals died in battle. Liu Yao himself was also beheaded, and nearly [-] Yangzhou soldiers were captured. It was a complete victory.

Then Xu Ding's various military departments began to gather towards the western front.

Tian Yu and Lu Su led troops to attack the capital of Xiapi, while Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin followed the Huai River to the west and swaggered into the Pei River, planning to attack Runan and capture the city behind Yuan Hou.
