The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 426
"Retreat!" Cheng Pu looked at the surrounding environment, the fire was getting bigger and bigger, if they continued to stay, even they would suffer along with it.

"Retreat? Li Yuan's family is right in front of us. Wouldn't it be a waste of all previous efforts to retreat now?" Huang Gai felt unwilling.

"Don't hesitate, Gongfu, retreat immediately to meet Han Dang, Ling Cao and Dong Xi, and then take the Patriarch to fight out of the city. The strength of the Tiger Guard camp is far beyond our imagination. If Zhao Yun does not come, we will not be their opponents. Now that Zhao Yun is here, it is even more impossible for us to win, and it is meaningless to continue to stay and fight, and leading the soldiers to retreat is the best policy, go away!" Cheng Pu said decisively, and he would not hesitate to lead the soldiers to retreat.

Seeing this, Huang Gai was very helpless. Looking at Zhao Yun's back, he could only grit his teeth and retreat with Cheng Pu.

Zhao Yun had already arrived in front of Xu Ding, and he was about to lead the Tiger Guards to fight out. When he saw the enemy's soldiers and horses retreating, he said, "Xu Ding, the enemy has also noticed that the fire here is getting bigger and bigger, so we can't stay any longer. Withdraw quickly."

"Yes, General Zhao!" Xu Ding ordered, "The soldiers of the Huwei Battalion obey the order and escort the lord's family to withdraw with General Zhao."

So Zhao Yun and Xu Ding rushed out of the mansion together with the soldiers of the Tiger Guards. When they all ran out, there were continuous sounds of collapse in the mansion. Fortunately, they had already come out. If they were one step later, they might be buried in flames.

The fire burned very violently. Seeing this, the surrounding people ran out to fight the fire, those who moved water, those who put out the fire, because they respected Li Yuan very much, so they all volunteered to help.

At this time Cheng Pu and Huang Gai's troops had already retreated, so Zhao Yun didn't see them when he came out, Xu Ding ran over and said, "General Zhao, should we chase Cheng Pu and them?"

"No need," Zhao Yun shook his head, "First count the number of people, especially the family members of the lord, and make sure they are safe before going after the enemy."

In Zhao Yun's view, Li Yuan's family is more important, and he knows that Sun Quan will never run away, the whole of Xuzhou is Li Yuan's territory, where else can they go, so let Xu Ding ensure the safety of Li Yuan's family first.

Xu Ding obeyed Zhao Yun's order and counted the number of people. There were more than 100 casualties in the Tiger Guard Camp, and now there are only about [-] people left. The casualties are not bad. As for Li Yuan's family members, they are still intact.

"Hahahaha, General Zhao, thanks to your timely rescue, otherwise the old man's life would be lost." Wang Yun smiled heartlessly. In fact, just now he really thought that he would not be able to escape. It's really a blessing to survive a catastrophe.

"Old Wang is serious. If I hurt you, I would have no face to see my brother." Zhao Yun respectfully said to Wang Yun.

While talking, Xi Zhicai and Huang Xu had already rushed over with [-] soldiers, and Xi Zhicai hurriedly asked after seeing Zhao Yun: "General Zhao, is the lord's family safe?"

"Fortunately, my brother's family is safe."

"That's good, that's good." Xi Zhicai breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked, "Where are the enemy's soldiers and horses? I ran all the way just now and didn't see the enemy."

"Cheng Pu has already led the troops to retreat. I expect them to forcibly attack the city gate and escape, but I don't know where they will go." Zhao Yun replied, since Li Yuan's family has been ensured safety, it is time to consider pursuing the enemy .

"Don't worry, General Zhao. They will definitely not be able to escape from my Wuzhi Mountain. They don't have many troops, so they should attack one of the city gates with all their strength. However, it is also possible for soldiers to attack the city gate, and then Sun Quan and others hide in the city. No matter what, he will not be allowed to escape from Xiapi City, I have already asked Lu Lingqi to gather the flying cavalry outside the city, I believe they will come soon." Xi Zhicai had already made up his mind, he was about to order the enemy to pursue, Suddenly saw a familiar person in the crowd.

"Give way, let's make way," Lu Meng squeezed out from the crowd. He was sleeping when he heard that Li Yuan's mansion was on fire. He has studied hard in the academy and has not yet officially served Li Yuan, but he can be regarded as a soldier under Li Yuan's command, and he is very grateful to Li Yuan for his importance, so he rushed over immediately.

"Lu Meng, you came at the right time. I just entrusted you with a heavy task. Sun Quan attacked the lord's mansion in disorder. Now they are planning to escape. You and Huang Xu and Zilong immediately lead three thousand soldiers back to the barracks to meet Zhang Xiu. Then you Lead [-] soldiers and horses to the east gate alone. If you find that the enemy is all arrested, those who resist will be cut; Hu Che'er led [-] troops to the south gate; Zilong led the remaining [-] troops to encircle Sun Quan's mansion, and no one should be spared." Xi Zhicai ordered in an orderly manner.

"The end will be ordered." Zhao Yun and others took the order and left.

"Huang Xu, wait a minute." Xi Zhicai stopped Huang Xu.

"Military division, what else do you want to order?" Huang Xu asked doubtfully.

"I predict that Sun Quan is likely to flee to the north, because he has nowhere to go in the other three directions, and he can only go to the north to join Cao Cao, so you must rush to the north gate quickly, and don't let Sun Quan escape, half of me Before the hour, Lu Lingqi was asked to summon the flying cavalry army, and she should be able to come back to help by then, so hurry up." Xi Zhicai predicted that Sun Quan would flee north.

"The last general takes orders!" After Huang Xu finished speaking, he left quickly.

"Military division, what are the Tiger Guards going to do?" Xu Ding stepped forward and asked.

"Xu Ding, you lead the Tiger Guards to escort the lord's family to the Governor's Mansion, and let them temporarily stay in the Governor's Mansion to ensure their safety and not allow the enemy to take advantage of it."

"The last general takes orders!" After receiving the order, Xu Ding escorted Wang Yun and others to the Governor's Mansion.

After everyone left, Xi Zhicai silently looked at the mansion that was destroyed by the fire, and said to himself: "Sun Quan's plan is good, but it has great flaws. It should not have been done by Zhou Yu. He is no longer in the city, the lord really shouldn't let him go and leave him a strong enemy."

Zhao Yun and the others split up to lead troops to guard the city gate and attack Sun Quan's mansion, while Xi Zhicai went to the governor's mansion. After he arrived, Xu Ding had already arranged rooms for Li Yuan's family.Wang Yun couldn't sleep, so he drank bitter tea alone in the hall.

When Xi Zhicai saw this, he walked over and asked, "Why doesn't Mr. Wang take a rest and drink tea here alone?"

Wang Yun shook his head and smiled wryly, "I'm old, and I can't fall asleep after being awakened. The military commander should also have a cup. I made the high-quality tea myself." Wang Yun poured a cup of tea for Xi Zhicai. Tea is even more bad for sleep, because tea contains caffeine, but ancient people didn't know this knowledge.
