I was kicked out by Sun Quan, and I turned to Cao thief

Chapter 146 Divide the troops again, Yuan Shao goes first

Tian Feng suggested a plan to Yuan Shao, and Zhang Xi led most of the troops to stay behind to ambush Cao Cao's pursuers.

Then, a cavalry escorted Yuan Shao back to Yecheng.

Their current location is not far from Ye City.If the cavalry rode fast, they would be able to return to Yecheng in one day and one night.

Ju Yi was captured, and Yuan Shao stayed behind to prevent Cao Cao's army from being defeated.

At this time, Yuan Shao could not ignore Cao Cao's ambush.

If you really don't care about Cao Cao's ambush, if they come from behind, they will kill Yuan Shao directly and catch him by surprise.

An army must be left as an ambush to ambush the soldiers and horses that Cao Jun chased up.

Yuan Shao took the cavalry and left the infantry behind, which was actually equivalent to getting rid of a burden.

Without the infantry to delay the march, Yuan Shao and the others could return to Yecheng faster.

After hearing Tian Feng's idea, Yuan Shao nodded immediately and praised: "Yuan Hao's plan is very clever, Jun Yi, you can lead the army to stay as an ambush!"

Now, Yuan Shao's only thought is to go back to Ye City.

The infantry stayed and the cavalry escorted him back to Yecheng, which was perfect for Yuan Shao.

As a general, naturally, there is no reason to say that he is afraid of war.

No matter which general of Cao Jun leads the army, Zhang Yun will not be afraid.

Zhang Yun had no objection to staying behind as an ambush.

Now, Zhang Xi's only worry is that he stayed behind to serve as an ambush. What should Yuan Shao do for his safety?
If he left, there would be no general beside Yuan Shao.

"It's okay for me to stay in the ambush, but if I leave, I'm a little worried about the safety of the lord!" Zhang Yun didn't hide anything, and said straight to the point.

After Zhang He said this, before Tian Feng could speak, Yuan Shao took the lead and said, "Jun Yi, you really think too much!"

"Going forward is the city of Ye. Cao Aman's army can only rush up from behind, how can it be attacked from the front?"

"Could it be possible that Cao Aman's army can still escape from my city of Ye?"

Obviously, at this time, no matter whether it was Tian Feng or Yuan Shao, none of them thought that Yecheng had already fallen into the hands of others.

Seeing what Yuan Shao said, Zhang Yun thought to himself, what the lord said is also true.

The danger they are facing now is the pursuers who may catch up at any time from the rear. As long as Zhang He stops the pursuers, Yuan Shao is naturally safe.

Zhang Yun also did not expect that Yecheng had been lost at this moment.

Su Ming took the risk of taking Yecheng, which was almost impossible for any general.

It can even be said that the miracle of taking Yecheng by 800 people is difficult to repeat at any time.

"In that case, my lord, I will leave to Mr. Yuan Hao!" Zhang He said, cupping his hands at Tian Feng.

Then, Zhang Yun turned to Yuan Shao and said, "My lord, how many troops will you bring to go first this time?"

Last time, when Guandu was defeated, Yuan Shao left hundreds of thousands of troops for Ju Yi, and returned to Yecheng with [-] soldiers himself.

Now, leaving Zhang He behind to ambush the pursuers, how many people will Yuan Shao bring back to Yecheng first?

Zhang Yun thought to himself, the lord will choose the candidates first, and the lord will pick the rest, and he is taking the lead to stop Cao Jun's pursuit.

Now Yuan Shao is only eager to return home, and he wants to go back to Yecheng, but he has no idea.

Therefore, Yuan Shao set his sights on Tian Feng.

A counselor, a counselor, is to plan for the Lord.

Tian Feng said to Yuan Shao: "Master, it is enough to bring three thousand cavalry, at most five thousand cavalry!"

Finally, after some deliberation.

Yuan Shao and Tian Feng returned to Yecheng with [-] cavalry, while Zhang Yun led the rest of the troops to find a place to ambush Cao's pursuers.

As soon as Yuan Shao and Tian Feng left, Zhang He began to set up the arrangement in full swing.

Zhang He is also a famous general in Hebei. When it comes to arranging troops and ambush, he can count them.

Zhang He first found a section of official road with valley slopes on both sides, and asked his soldiers to ambush on the valley slopes.

In addition, let people prepare thunder stones and logs on the slope of the valley. As long as Cao Jun's cavalry arrives, the thunder stones and logs on both sides can be smashed down in an instant.

Ambush, the most critical point, that is to have confidence.

After finishing the arrangement, Zhang He led his brothers to lie down in the grass nest for several hours.

They have been lying down from noon until evening.

At this time, a scout hurriedly came to Zhang Yun's side and reported: "General Zhang, Cao Jun's pursuit did not go deep, and they retreated?"

Zhang He: "?????"

After hearing this, Zhang Yun's head was buzzing. He really didn't understand why Cao Jun's pursuers retreated.

It stands to reason that Cao Jun's pursuers should have pursued all the way until Yuan Shao was captured alive, right?

In fact, the cavalrymen of the cavalry of the cavalry that Zhang He's scouts discovered today were really the three thousand leopard cavalry led by Cao Hong.

However, Cao Hong led the three thousand leopard riders forward, they did not come after Yuan Shao.

The purpose of Cao Hong personally leading three thousand leopard riders to go deep is to find Su Ming.

After Su Ming accepted the task of burning Wuchao, he successfully burned Wuchao down.

However, after burning Wuchao, it stands to reason that Su Ming should go back and return Cao Cao!

Cao Cao waited and waited, and waited and waited, but he couldn't wait for Su Ming to come back.

Waiting and waiting, Cao Cao was also anxious.

Cao Cao thought to himself, there must be some accident for Su Ming!
Therefore, Cao Cao quickly gave Cao Hong an order to lead three thousand leopard riders to search for Su Ming's trail before the army.

No matter whether you find it or not, you have to go back and report every three days.

The reason why Cao Hong turned back again was to go to Cao Cao to return to his life.

Now, even Cao Cao did not expect that Su Ming would dare to take 800 people to take Yecheng.

The most important thing is that Ye City was really taken down by him.

"General Zhang He, Cao Jun's pursuers have withdrawn?"

"Aren't we going to ambush now?" A lieutenant general asked Zhang Yun.

Hearing this, Zhang He thought to himself, everyone has retreated, so let's make an ambush!

What are we still laying here to ambush?Ambush the air?
"Withdraw!"

"Let's retreat too, let's catch up with the Lord as soon as possible!" Zhang Xi gave the order.

Yuan Shao led [-] cavalry to go first. The distance from here to Yecheng was only a day and a night with the footsteps of the cavalry.

Now that Cao Jun's pursuers have withdrawn, even if they turn around and chase, it is impossible for them to catch up again.

After Zhang He thought about it, he felt that there was no need for an ambush. They also chased Yuan Shao and returned to Yecheng.

So, Zhang He gathered his soldiers and headed towards Yecheng.

Since most of Zhang Yun's men were infantry, the speed of their journey was much slower than that of Yuan Shao and the others.
