Chapter 908
As dusk approached in the afternoon, cooking pots began to be buried in the barracks, and smoke rose from the cooking.

In the general's big tent, Qu Yi took off his bulky armor, and summoned his lieutenants to discuss matters in the tent.

In less than half a stick of incense, the school captains came in one after another, but judging from the expressions on their faces, they all seemed listless and dejected.

It's no wonder that after so many days of training in Fanyang, the soldiers were full of confidence, but they were defeated in the first battle. The blow to morale can be imagined.

In addition, the force Yan Liang displayed was far beyond their imagination, it was too strong!

At this time, a scout entered the account and reported: "General, the Hebei army has moved its camp ten miles south, and now it is only less than twenty miles away from our army camp."

When the captains heard this, their faces became even more distressed.Yan Liang's move is undoubtedly to put further pressure on them, hoping to find an opportunity to swallow their camp.

Compared with the sad faces of the school captains, Qu Yi didn't have much worry on his face. He looked at Zhang Xi whose palms were wrapped in bandages, and asked with concern, "Jun Yi, are you alright?"

Zhang He shook his head slightly. He just had a small bloody hole in his palm, and it's not a serious problem.What's more, it is inevitable for martial arts practitioners to be injured, as long as they don't lose their lives, it seems normal to bleed.

Today's battle with Yan Liang, even though Zhang He was defeated, it also made him understand martial arts.

Seeing that Zhang He was fine, Qu Yi nodded, "It's fine, I want to hear your opinion on the news about the advance of the Hebei army's garrison?"

Zhang He had thought about this question a long time ago, and when Qu Yi asked him, he expressed his thoughts: "General, the morale of the Hebei army is at its peak, and the leader Yan Liang is brave and invincible. If we fight head-on, our army may be difficult response."

All the school captains in the tent were deeply convinced and nodded in agreement.

"So the general thought that our army could take advantage of the high walls built before, send a strong crossbow battalion to occupy its commanding heights, shoot crossbows at the charging Hebei army, use defense instead of attack, and slowly consume, it will surely defeat the enemy. Its vigor. At that time, the cavalry will charge again, and the infantry will surround the rear from the two wings, and they will surely defeat Yuan's army."

This is Zhang He's strategic insight.

After listening to these speeches, the captains in the tent were all refreshed, and the sorrow on their faces was immediately swept away, as if they saw new hope.

"Junyi's opinion is indeed the best strategy." Qu Yi nodded appreciatively. He really did not misunderstand the person. Zhang Xi not only has extraordinary martial arts skills, but also has outstanding vision. He is indeed a general.

"So, general, do you agree?" Zhang Yun's eyes lit up. He had always admired Qu Yi very much, and he was very happy to be appreciated by Qu Yi.

However, when everyone thought it was a matter of course, Qu Yi shook his head and said to his subordinates: "If there is a fight tomorrow, please listen to my orders and be ready to retreat at all times. If Yan Liang pursues, the supplies and camp will also be abandoned. gone."

Hearing this order, everyone in the tent was in an uproar, with disbelief written all over their faces.

Obviously Qu Yi said just now that what Zhang He said was the best policy, why did he suddenly change direction now.What's more, Qu Yi, as the main general, couldn't think of retreating before the fight started.

"General, forgive me for being so bold that I dare not agree with your opinion." A school lieutenant finally couldn't hold back his emotions, and came out of the line and said.

Seeing this, the rest of the people tried to persuade Qu Yi one after another, saying earnestly: "Fight according to General Zhang's deployment, we may not lose!"

"That's right, just run away like this, don't say I'm waiting, even the soldiers will not be reconciled!"

"If the general knows that you lead troops to fight like this, he will definitely blame you!"

Captains, you are talking about each other, right now the rebels are everywhere, and they are weaving a huge net to shrink towards Luoyang-Yanzhou. Even if Fanyang can't fight a beautiful first battle here, I don't want it. The first place to be defeated is here.

How embarrassing it was to spread the word in the future!
Qu Yi didn't care about these things. Seeing that the captains were not convinced, he scolded him with a straight face: "Don't use the general to suppress me. I am the general here, and I have the final say on all matters. Even if the general really wants to take If I ask the crime, I will have to wait until I finish cleaning up the Hebei army first!"

When Qu Yi lost his temper, the rest of the school captains lost their temper and said 'yes' in a blunt manner, took their leave and retreated.

After everyone had left, Qu Yi asked Zhang He, "Jun Yi, how many soldiers and horses did we lose today?"

Zhang He replied respectfully: "The general gave the order early, and we didn't suffer much damage. We only lost more than 300 people."

For a fight involving more than 300 people, [-] casualties are considered a small loss.

"More than 300 sons, what a pity."

Qu Yi sighed, with a rare look of loneliness on his face, but his eyes were as firm as ever: "These boys will not die in vain."

Zhang He didn't make a sound.

"You don't want to ask me why?" Qu Yi's tone was quite curious. Just now, all the captains opposed his order and wanted to act according to Zhang Yun's deployment. Only Zhang Yun himself remained silent.

Hearing Qu Yi's question, Zhang He replied honestly: "General, you are far ahead of us. I don't understand it because we have not yet reached the height of a general."

"Hahaha……"

After hearing Zhang He's answer, Qu Yi laughed out loud, but did not explain.

In the early morning of the next day, Yan Liang indeed led his army to call for a fight.

Qu Yi was not afraid, and led his soldiers out of the camp to confront the Hebei army.

However, the Hebei army was strong, and after a short battle, Qu Yi ordered Ming Jin to retreat.

Seeing this situation, Yan Liang was willing to let it go, shouted orders to rush to kill, not only broke through Qu Yi's camp in one go, but also seized a large amount of food and grass. If Yan Liang hadn't been persuaded by Ju Shou in the end, Yan Liang would have really wanted to catch up with Qu Yi day and night, Cut it under the horse.

In the next few days, Yan Liang repeatedly invaded the south, Qu Yi lost consecutive battles, retreated from Fanyang to Dunqiu all the way, and his morale almost dropped to the extreme.

Although Qu Yi did not report the matter to Lu Bu, the news of the defeat still spread like wildfire and reached the ears of Lu Bu who traveled to Juyang County.

Knowing that Qu Yi had lost several battles in a row, Lu Bu frowned and rested his chin on his hands. Qu Yi had thirty thousand troops in his hands, no matter what, he shouldn't have retreated so quickly.

What is this Koji doing!
For a while, Lu Bu was also a little uncertain.

"My lord, let the last general take over, and I promise to tell Yan Liang to go back to Hebei!" Hearing that Qu Yi had lost in a row, Hua Xiong immediately raised his voice and clasped his fists in begging for orders.

But Lu Bu didn't go to see Hua Xiong at all, because he knew very well that Hua Xiong was not the candidate to be the chief general.

At this time, Guo Jia, who was examining the map of Dunqiu, suddenly laughed.

When Lu Bu asked him why he was smiling, Guo Jia only replied.

Yan Liang's death is approaching!
