Three Kingdoms: Cao Ying's mastermind, from nine to five

Chapter 230 White Horse, White Horse Comes to Revenge Me!
Yuan Shangben fled on the road to Bingzhou, Guo Tu, Feng Ji and others under his command were covered with dust and looked downcast, they rode their horses all the way and fled all night before resting in the mountains.

At this time, Yuan Shang was leaning against the mountain wall, his face was full of confusion, anger lingered in his heart, his face was trembling constantly, after a long while, he suddenly violently smashed the mountain wall, and started to drink loudly.

"Bastard! Bastard!"

"Yuan Xi is a treacherous villain! All my food is gone! Yuan Xi treats me as an enemy regardless of our army's life or death. He is willing to watch the 20 soldiers and horses left behind by his father starve to death! This person has committed a heinous crime." , I will not let him go even if I become a ghost!"

Yuan Shang cursed angrily, causing Guo Tu to raise his head and look at him helplessly, then lowered his head without saying anything.

In fact, the heart has fallen into despair.

If you don't listen to me, you can't blame other people for this result.

The two cities captured by Yuan Xi themselves were not well-prepared, and the walls were short and easy to climb. It is extremely convenient to climb over with ladders and carts. Taking the cities in this way can disturb the morale of our army.

However, if you take your time and guard the main city, you will definitely not give Yuan Xi any opportunity to take advantage of.

Yuan Xi's army is suitable for field battles rather than fortified battles. When attacking the city, the damage will be very heavy. After three days of defense, they can welcome the food and grass to the city. At that time, Yuan Xi will undoubtedly be defeated.

The raid force he placed in ambush in the rear has no chance to intercept the food, let alone cut off my food road.

It's a pity... the situation was in chaos, and my mind was confused before the battle, so I couldn't make a correct decision.

Alas, after all, he is still a child at heart. Sure enough, as Yuan Xi said, he has been spoiled by the lord. He has never learned as a teenager, and he has not experienced war with the army. Now it is too late to learn again.

Guo Tu sighed silently, and was about to get up again, when he heard Feng Ji go up to hold hands with Yuan Shang and say, "Young master, although we escaped from Yuan Xi's pursuit, we still haven't arrived in Bingzhou. It is not suitable to stay here for a long time, you should leave immediately, I am afraid that there is no way to call back the defeated soldiers and horses."

Yuan Shang's face turned cold again, "Why? Why don't these soldiers go with me? I still have [-] soldiers in Bingzhou. These people are all my father's old troops. Are they all going to join Yuan Xi?"

Feng Ji was much older, his face was full of wrinkles, his expression was depressed, he lowered his head and sighed: "They were originally Jizhou soldiers, and they were afraid that they would go to Jizhou."

"Impossible! How can our army and Xu Zhentian's enmity go to Jizhou!"

"Absolutely impossible!"

As soon as Yuan Shang's words fell, there was a faint sound of horseshoes in the distance, and when he looked down suddenly, the stones and gravel on the ground were all beating weakly, and it gradually became more intense in an instant.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and Guo Tu asked in a daze, "Yuan Xi is chasing you?"

"Impossible, he should still be arranging Daijun soldiers and horses now."

"The cavalry from the south must be Xu Zhen who took advantage of the situation and wanted to chase us down!"

"Then Xu Zhen is the only one!" Yuan Shang yelled strangely, "How did he know we were here! How could he come so fast! It's only been one night, and the military newspaper can't be that fast!"

How did Xu Zhen know that Bingzhou's soldiers would retreat as a last resort? It would take at least one day and night for his troops to reach the edge of the battlefield from Jizhou. If they got the news, it would take about two days.

Now, after only one night, Xu Zhen found her.

"Young master, there is no time to think about it now, we have to leave this place immediately, otherwise we will be caught up by Xu Zhen!"

Guo Tu's face changed drastically. Now he also wants to know how Xu Zhen was able to know the defeat of the Bingzhou army so quickly. He had to pass through this place, but it is too late to think about it now. Let Xu Zhen really figure it out. The immediate plan must be quickly. leave!

"go!"

Yuan Shang gritted his teeth and looked at the bouncing stones on the ground, his pale complexion suddenly became a little more rosy, but at this moment he could not tolerate any hesitation, got on his horse and ran away.

In less than half a stick of incense time, Xu Zhen's crossbow cavalry caught up with the remnant soldiers first, and released a round of hand crossbow arrows, causing heavy casualties to the infantry running behind, destroying the morale of the army in an instant, and the remaining cavalry did not dare to fight, so they could only fight. Abandoning the army and fleeing, each fled for his life.

Within a few breaths, the elite crossbow cavalry rushed into the fleeing Bingzhou army, killing people on their backs and bleeding into rivers.

"Surrender!"

"We surrender, the general spares his life!!"

"General, we have been hungry for two days and we can't eat enough! We don't want to go back to Bingzhou. We are from Jizhou. Please, General, let us go back to Jizhou!"

"General, please be kind to Xu Junhou, please save us!"

"My mother is blind, and she is still waiting for me to go back at home! I will not go back to Bingzhou!"

"I beg the generals to take us back to Jizhou, and we have no complaints as slaves!"

For a while, these Jizhou soldiers couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately cried out, all put down their weapons and surrendered, and some hungry and trapped people even fell to the ground, unable to fight any more.

Seeing the murdered corpse of my peers again, the thoughts in my heart are gone. Now I just want to go back to my hometown. Even if I am a farmer, I will stop fighting. After following Yuan Shang to Bingzhou, I didn’t have a good life for half a day. However, they have always been dependent on others and displaced.

The brothers went to put down the rebellion and worked their lives. In the end, not to mention the military salary, they couldn't even have enough food, so why should they follow the Yuan family?
It is said that Jizhou was hollowed out by the Yuan family, but now that Xu Zhen has become the governor of the state, the people have been able to eat.

The crossbow cavalry was led by Huang Zhong himself. When he saw these beggars, his heart was as hard as iron. He stroked his beard with a cold face, and shouted angrily: "It should have been surrendered to the emperor of Han! You are helping Yuan to rebel! Now! If there is no food, you will know and surrender!"

"If you can't beat him, just pray for your life! How can there be such a good thing?!"

"If you want to have enough to eat, then attack the city for our army!"

"I wish, I am willing to attack the city! The general's order, we are determined to obey! As long as we can eat a full meal!"

"Okay! Hahaha!" Huang Zhong laughed loudly, "Since that's the case, you will return to the camp with the soldiers first, and after I come back, I will organize it for you. There will be compensation for the siege. If you die, you will get double! If you survive, you will get three." !!"

"Okay, okay!! Thank you, General Enze!"

"Thank you General, thank you General for your kindness, I am willing to drive for General!"

The faces of these Bingzhou soldiers are full of rejoicing. The current soldiers and horses in Jizhou are indeed benevolent. Even if they are surrendered soldiers, after they are attached, they are willing to die and attack the city. They can still get pensions, even more than other soldiers and horses. It is more generous, and you can get three copies if you survive!
This money can support the family even after death. If a person has no family, he can also entrust the money to his friends. It is much better to live in the world.

Huang Zhong's crossbow cavalry collected thousands of soldiers and horses, and the cavalry continued to chase Yuan Shang to the territory of Youyang and passed through Yanmen County, but in fact Zhuge Liang sent Zhao Yun to enter Changshan from Zhongshan, and from Changshan to Fuping He directly entered Yanmen Youyang and waited here early.

Zhao Yun is very familiar with this road, because he was a ranger in this generation when he was young, and later he went from Changshan to the White Horse of Youzhou. He is quite familiar with the terrain of Jizhou and Youzhou, so he led the troops to travel very quickly. He moved at the same time as the crossbow cavalry, but arrived outside Yanmen County earlier and waited.

It didn't even disturb the Yanmen defenders, although after investigation, it was learned that there were not many troops guarding Yanmen, only a mere 2000 people.

Youzhou, Bingzhou, and Jizhou have always been adjacent to each other. The landforms are bordering each other. Many mountain roads can enter each other's territory, so it is too easy for Xu Zhen to catch up with them.

Yuan Shang had just escaped from Dai County, and immediately encountered an ambush in Youyang. Zhao Yun's cavalry waited on the slope, and when they saw Yuan Shang's army, they charged down immediately. The formation of the army.

After killing several times, Yuan Shang had no chance to fight back.

As a result, thousands of soldiers and horses were blocked again, so Yuan Shang could only flee with the remnants of his troops to the main city of Yanmen, and when he was halfway in the mountains and forests, he got into the trail to hide.

Here, he and Guo Tu stopped by the stream, already terrified, their faces were pale and their hearts were restless.

Yuan Shang looked at himself in the water in fear, thinking of the scene of the white-robed cavalry rushing down the hillside in his mind, the speed was extremely fast and the force was fierce, like a white wave rushing, almost swallowing his army.

The general in the lead was young and agile, with a spear that was indomitable, extremely skilled in martial arts, and his silver armor and white robe gave people a ghostly shock.

This reminded him of the soldiers and horses that frightened the foreigners in Youzhou back then.

"White horse, white horse... that person is the old department of Youzhou Baima, and Gongsun Zan's old department has come to seek revenge from us."

Yuan Shang murmured that although he had never experienced the era of attacking the white horse, he had heard many generals and elders tell him, especially how arrogant Ju Yi was when he defeated the invincible Baima Yicong at Jieqiao.

It seems that there are no soldiers and horses in the world that can defeat their Jizhou army. Unexpectedly, today they encountered a more elite and stronger white robe army.

Although this battle is a chasing battle, it can be described as a tiger running into a herd. When the white robe rushed out, the entire Bingzhou army was trembling.

"Where is Gao Lan!? Why hasn't Gao Lan come to the rescue yet? Did he not want to save me! Such a delay of the military plane! It caused heavy losses to our army!"

"Young Master!" Guo Tu yelled angrily, "Don't blame us anymore, we have already been plotted against, now is not the time to fight among ourselves, General Gao Lan is the only remaining general!"

"Don't take your anger out on the general, we have no one to use now! We must have a leading general!"

The people of Guo Tu are numb, how could they support such a young master, they knew that Yuan Xi was chosen, and now they will not be defeated. At least Yuan Xi leads the army alone, and has experienced many battles. He is not like the master back then, but he still has the demeanor of a general !

At least he has a method in using troops and can win battles!
"What should I do now?! What should I do!? Yuan Xi is so vicious and vicious, he burned my food and grass, and my money is almost gone! The autumn harvest is still two months away! How will my army last until the autumn harvest!"

"Without food, what do I eat!? Can I still drink honey water, and there are minced meat for three meals!"

Yuan Shang looked up to the sky and sighed, knowing that it was the autumn of life and death, but he was desperate to the extreme. Almost half of the 20 soldiers and horses had been lost. The inheritance left by his father, he had spent so much but had no achievements.

Kong has such a bright background, among the many princes in the world, he is far ahead of many people at the first step, some people have been displaced for half their lives, sending people everywhere, and the soldiers and horses in their hands are always less than [-], but they can still hold on. I have raised an unknown number of brothers to follow by my side.

Why don't I, Yuan Shang, have such good luck? !
"Young master, let's go back to Bingzhou now!"

Guo Tu sighed deeply, he felt that he could not keep the lord's entrustment. Before Yuan Shao died of illness, Yuan Shang was entrusted to him.

Guo Tu also promised to do his best to support Guo Tu in troubled times, but now he is unable to do what he can, and he doesn't know how to keep Yuan Shang alive.

"Take a break and go out now!"

Yuan Shang got up immediately, slapped his face with water, and got on his horse after regaining consciousness for a while.

Guo Tu sighed at this moment, cupped his fists and said: "Young master, we still have thousands of troops under our command at this time, and there are countless pursuers. I don't know when we will be overtaken. I will lead the army to walk the road to attract the pursuers. Please join us Fengji continues to walk on the trail, and enters Taiyuan around the pavilion, a hundred miles away, the young master will definitely be able to go back."

"Okay, okay! If that's the case, it's hard work, sir!" Yuan Shang knew in his heart that it would be the best choice to divide his troops and flee. Guo Tu will definitely attract a lot of pursuers if he flees on the main road!

Then take the trail by yourself and continue to detour. Although it is a little farther, it must be safer, so I agreed without thinking for a while.

Guo Tu suddenly laughed, the smile looked helpless and desperate, but it seemed to be relief. In his opinion, if he died on the road, he would be able to live up to his trust. He defeated many political enemies in his life, and he also To be famous for a while, to die in war is also the best result.

Yuan Shang immediately ordered the troops to be divided, leading a hundred guards to walk along the small path, while Guo Tu took the main road, leading thousands of soldiers and horses to charge out in a mighty manner, and fled to the south.

But in the afternoon, when Yuan Shang came out from the small path in the mountain forest and was about to go south to enter the main road of Yanmen, there were still no soldiers and horses waiting for Gaolan, but Xu Chu who had been waiting outside for a long time was waiting.

"Yuan Shang, my military adviser knew that you would go this way, and has been waiting for a long time!"

"We have explored the terrain of Yanmen hundreds of times in three months, and we are so familiar with it!"

Xu Chu swung his sword straight away, and the leader glared at the front. Although his broad arms and chest were made of flesh and blood, they were like mountains, which made Yuan Shang's remnants extremely terrified. He might not be able to pass this pass.

Only Feng Ji followed in the army, and another army led by brothers Xin Ping and Xin Pi went to attract pursuit with Guo Tu.

At this moment, Yuan Shang's eyes trembled, his face was pale, and his expression was completely dull.

"Where is Gao Lan, why didn't Gao Lan come to save me!!!"

Yuan Shang shouted angrily, and the sound resounded throughout the valley. Now that he understood, he turned around and fled immediately, and he couldn't escape.

Xu Chu smiled and said, "Dian Wei and Zhang Liao are blocking Gao Lan, and now they should be fighting in Xinxing. Is there any problem?"

"Follow me back to Jizhou if there is no problem!"

Of course, Yuan Shang cannot be killed in this battle. After Yuan Shang is captured alive, he can give some orders, or send him to Xudu, and wait for the prime minister to deal with him. After all, he is also the son of his old friend.

Yuan Shang felt a sudden shock, he knew that if he was captured next time, the reputation of the Yuan family would be completely discredited, and he would become the only one among the Yuan family who was captured and humiliated.

It is better to kill yourself here.

But as soon as he had this idea, Yuan Shang was afraid again.

I'm only 17, how can I die here? !
