Chapter 125 Returning to Ye City

The news of Wuchao being burned was only reached to Yuan Shao's ears when Wuchao's rout soldiers fled to Guandu and were discovered by scouts.

After learning that Wuchao was burned, Yuan Shao angrily cursed several times, "Mother Xipi."

Apart from scolding Chunyuqiong a few words, Yuan Shao could only be helpless and furious.

Soon, there were bursts of drumming in the Yuan camp.

This is Yuan Shao beating drums and gathering generals, ready to discuss countermeasures.

Soon, the civil servants and military generals under Yuan Shao's command gathered together, and many people had already received the news.

Now, all battalions have seen the broken soldiers from Wuchao, so everyone's face is not good.

No one thought that the first battle in Guandu would be in Wuchao.

Before there was a rout on the front line, the rear appeared first.

Yuan Shao sat at the head of the central army tent, and after looking around, he found that there was one person missing.

Who is missing?

Xu You, Xu Ziyuan.

"Xu You?"

"Where's Xu Youren?" Yuan Shao asked the servants around him.

At this time, Feng Ji stood up and said to Yuan Shao: "Didn't Xu You be grounded by you, my lord? Without your order, he might not dare to leave the tent."

After Feng Ji said this, Yuan Shao immediately ordered the guards on the left and right to invite Xu You.

Not long after, the guard came back and reported that Xu You was missing.

After learning that Xu You was missing, Tian Feng gritted his teeth and stood up, saying to Yuan Shao: "My lord, I'm afraid Xu You has voted for Cao Cao!"

Hearing this, Yuan Shao's face became even more ugly.

However, now is not the time to pursue these matters.

It is a foregone conclusion that Xu You voted for Cao. For the current plan, it is still necessary to properly handle all the aftermath.

"The Wuchao is burned!"

"Everyone knows this news, so let's talk about whatever ideas you have!" Yuan Shao's face was so gloomy that it was about to drip water.

Yuan Shao's complexion was ugly, and the complexions of these civil servants and generals under his command were also not good-looking.

The faces of these people are as green as each other.

Now Yuan Shao is asking for a plan, who among these people can come up with a perfect plan?

Now that Wuchao was burned, it was impossible to win this battle.

For today's plan, it would be nice to be able to lose a little bit.

"Hey!"

"It's all Chunyu Qiong's fault. When I was in Wuchao, I should have killed him with a single sword!" Ju Yi said through gritted teeth.

The problem is that it is useless for Ju Yi to say these things now!

"And Xu You, Mr. Yuan Hao shouldn't have pleaded for him back then." Gao Lan also said aloud.

All of a sudden, the entire Chinese military tent became a quarrel, and there was chaos everywhere.

The problem is, this group of people just quarreled here, and he couldn't come up with a solution to the problem!
"Crack!" Yuan Shao slammed the table angrily, and shouted, "Yaoyao? You just yelling here, can you get Cao Cao away?"

"A way? I want a way to retreat from the enemy?"

A way to retreat from the enemy?

This is really not.

After the fire started in Wuchao, not to mention the lack of food, Yuan Shao's army's morale also lost.

Wanting to win this battle is undoubtedly a dream.

At this moment, Yuan Shao's side has fallen into a disadvantage across the board.

Seeing Yuan Shao's anger, these counselors under Yuan Shao acted like ostriches one by one, shrank their heads and stopped talking, and couldn't come up with a useful strategy.

As for those generals, those generals can't be counted on even more. Apart from yelling, these generals can't do anything else.

In the Yuan camp, at this critical moment, they had to count on Tian Feng.

Tian Feng went out, cupped his hands towards Yuan Shao and said, "My lord, at this time the army has less than seven days' worth of food and grass."

"It's impossible to win. For the current plan, I just want to be undefeated."

"Now, the most important thing for my lord to do is to return to Yecheng as soon as possible. At that time, my lord will be in Yecheng, the eldest son Yuan Tan will be in Qingzhou, and the second son Yuan Xi will be in Youzhou. The three parties will surely be able to withstand Cao Cao's offensive. .”

Tian Feng has always been admonishing directly, that is to say, he never cared whether Yuan Shao liked to listen to what he said or not.

Therefore, in Yuan Shao's camp, Tian Feng was not liked by Yuan Shao.

However, what Tian Feng said today happened to hit Yuan Shao's heart.

After Wuchao was burned, Yuan Shao really didn't want to fight!
Yuan Shao wanted to go back to his own city of Ye now, and Tian Feng's idea hit Yuan Shao's heart.

Even if Wuchao was burned, Yuan Shao was still the biggest prince in the world.

As long as he can return to Yecheng, at that time, with Qingzhou and Youzhou as his two wings, it will not be so easy for Cao Cao to completely defeat Yuan Shao.

In fact, on top of history, after the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao did not say he had completely defeated Yuan Shao.

It was after Yuan Shao's death from illness that Yuan Shao's three sons fought for power, which allowed Cao Cao to take advantage and dominate the north.

Therefore, Tian Feng's idea is indeed the most reasonable so far.

"Where there is life, there is hope."

"Yuan Hao's words are justified, prepare immediately, let's move back to Yecheng." Yuan Shao said immediately.

Seeing that Yuan Shao was eager to return to Yecheng, Ju Shou also stood up and reminded: "My lord, we should go back to Yecheng!"

"However, it is also necessary to prevent Cao Cao from taking the opportunity to cover up and kill him. At that time, retreating will become a defeat!"

Escaping and retreating are two different concepts.

To retreat, it is necessary to bring the army back in its entirety.

After Jushou finished speaking, Yuan Shao's gaze shifted to Tian Fengde.

After this defeat, Yuan Shao also seemed to understand who under his command was capable of doing things.

People like Feng Ji, Shen Pei, and Guo Tu are also good at flattering horses.

When it came time to come up with an idea, it had to be Tian Feng and Ju Shou.

Especially Tian Feng, although his words are not flattering, but his words are really useful!

This person can only see who is sincere to him only when he encounters setbacks.

"Yuan Hao, do you have a plan for how to retreat to Ye City?" Yuan Shao asked Tian Feng.

Tian Feng stroked his short beard, and said slowly: "My lord, according to my opinion, General Zhang He will lead the troops to escort you to Yecheng."

"General Ju Yi is the main general, responsible for resisting Cao Jun from the front. General Gao Lan is the deputy general, resisting Cao Jun on the left flank."

"In addition, you allocate another [-] elite soldiers to Liu Bei, and let him defend Cao's army on the right."

"The food and grass in our camp is enough for seven days. The soldiers and horses responsible for resisting Cao's army only need to resist at Guandu for five days, and then they can retreat in an orderly manner."

"My lord, go ahead for five days. At that time, even if Cao Jun wants to chase him, he will definitely not be able to catch up."

After Tian Feng's words fell, Ju Yi stepped out, bowed his hands to Yuan Shao and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, go first, within five days, even if I, Ju Yi, die at Guandu, I will definitely not let Cao Jun take a step past Guandu."
