Lu Dynasty

Chapter 643 Yuan Shao Retreats

In Bingzhou, the only strong city in Yuan Shao's heart is Jinyang. If Yuan Shao were to leave Bingzhou like this, he would be unwilling, but if he stayed, he would be worried about our army's sharp catapults.Yuan Shao, who was in a dilemma, really didn't know what to do!Yuan Shao is not Cao, he can't tell, and Bingzhou has become tasteless.Facing the situation in Bingzhou, even Cao could only say one thing: 'There is no meat to eat, but there is a taste to discard', and then withdraw his troops, but Yuan Shao was still hesitant.However, this is no wonder Yuan Shao.Before he revealed his intention to withdraw troops, Yuan Shao didn't have the talkative Yang Xiu under his command.Although not many people under Yuan Shao's command lost their lives because of talking too much, but with Yuan Shao's character, no one could figure out his pulse. Those counselors who were good at fighting for power and profit would naturally not make Yuan Shao unhappy!
The morale of Yuan Shao's army in Quyang City is getting lower and lower, and Yuan Shao has nothing to do about it.Morale cannot be improved by encouragement alone, but also by the support of victory.Yuan Shaojun has basically never won a victory since he came to Bingzhou. I even allowed them to come to Quyang on purpose. Let them tremble again, how can the morale be raised?If our army didn't want to lose too many troops because of the siege, it is estimated that Quyang has been captured by our army several times!In fact, Lu Bu also suggested to me to attack Quyang by force, but there are still 10,000+ Yuan Jun under the city of Quyang. Even if these 10,000+ people line up for our army to kill, it will take a long time to kill them. It is really not worthwhile to attack by force.Looking at the current situation, I really miss the catapults of the Ministry of Industry!Unfortunately, news came from Jinyang saying: The new-style catapult has been basically damaged. If you want to use it, you can only wait for the finished product to come out or use the old-fashioned one. I have no choice but to wait!I can wait, but Yuan Shao can't wait any longer.He was originally fighting in a different place, and now our army has a batch of magic weapons. He doesn't know that our army's catapults have basically been reimbursed!Yuan Shao, who had been terrified all day long, finally couldn't stand such a huge pressure. He ordered his elite troops to pack up the food and supplies first, and then escorted by Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Qu Yi, and went to Daijun first.

The city wall of Dai County was built to defend against foreigners, and the city is high and thick. Yuan Shao believed that no matter how sharp my catapult was, it would not be possible to smash down the city wall of Dai County.Moreover, Daijun is the junction of Bingzhou and Jizhou, which can barely be counted as Yuan Shao's territory. Even if it is smashed, Yuan Shao will not feel bad about repairing it.As soon as Yan Liang and Wen Chou left the city with the grain and grass, I got the news. I immediately asked Lu Bu to lead Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to pursue them.Unexpectedly, Yuan Shao seemed to have known that our army would go after him, and he personally took the rest of the troops and waited on the only way our army must pass.Dozens of generals from Yuan Shao's army lined up. Yuan Shao pointed at Lu Bu and scolded: "Lu Fengxian, don't think that you have won just like this! I have already taken your brother's dog's life, and you will be next! Today I If you lose to your catapult, retreat temporarily, if you dare to chase after me, the army behind me is not a vegetarian!" Yuan Shao's attitude immediately boosted Yuan Jun's morale.You know, morale is a very strange thing, every word and deed of the general can affect it.

Lu Bu was a little angry when he heard Yuan Shao's words. Even if I pretended to be dead now, Yuan Shao could not insult him. With a wave of his halberd, he wanted the troops to charge. There are not many troops, and the eldest brother just asked us to harass Yuan Shaojun. If the loss is too great to force a hard battle, it will be difficult to explain it back! Besides, why do you let others jump over the wall in a hurry?" When Guan Yu said the words "jump over the wall in a hurry", his voice was very loud. Yuan Shao's face turned green!
Lu Bu remembered my order when he heard the word "big brother", and Guan Yu's words were indeed reasonable, so he immediately changed his mind.Lü Bu pointed at Yuan Shao and scolded, "Son of the Yuan family, don't think I'm afraid of you! I won't chase you today. The future will be long, let's play slowly! The whole army obeys orders and withdraws!" After speaking, Lu Bu took Guan Yu and Zhang Fly back to the camp!

When Yuan Shao's troops were almost gone, I immediately asked Zhao Yun to mobilize Li Jue's Xiaoguowei and Yan Xing's Xuanjia Battalion to clean up the remaining Yuan Shao's troops in Bingzhou and guard all the main roads in Bingzhou, especially the front lines of Yanmen, Yunzhong and Daijun .Yuan Shaojun is easy to talk about, but foreigners are not human. As for Liangzhou, there is Ma Chao, the mighty general, in town. I am not really worried, but I am afraid that Ma Chao is not smart enough, and he will come to me after being fooled by others!However, Ma Chao's father and sister are in my hands, so I don't think he is so stupid!

My army has swept across Bingzhou, but what is unexpected is that there are still people in Bingzhou!I have to say that the tenacity of the Chinese people, even in such a hostile environment as Bingzhou, can survive, which is really unimaginable!It's a pity that although there are still people in Bingzhou, most of these people have escaped from Jizhou. There are not many people, and they are still somewhat hostile to our army!However, when our army distributed the food to them, they were grateful to our army!Originally, they fled Jizhou because they couldn't survive, but they wanted to go to Sili but were blocked by Yuan Shao and Cao, so they settled down in Bingzhou in desperation.Now that they have accepted our army's food, they must accept our army's management. I asked the accompanying master book to register them in the book, and I am going to let the governor of Bingzhou develop Bingzhou again!

Bingzhou returned to my hands easily, the only shortcoming is that there are not many people.Sili is overcrowded, I must find a way to send the people of Sili to Bingzhou.But the people came to Sili to seek peace and stability, and no one wanted to go to Bingzhou where there might be war.In desperation, I had no choice but to ask Sili to send all the refugees to Bingzhou.But those refugees didn't stay, they refused to leave when they arrived in Jinyang!I had no choice but to divide the cultivated land for them around Jinyang. As a result, most of the land in Bingzhou was vacant.Even so, it relieved a lot of pressure on Sili.In addition, as long as I can hold Bingzhou, the vacuum belt in Liangzhou will also return to my hands.Liangzhou is actually very safe, and I don't think the people will resist it.After all, the common people are not aristocratic families, as long as they have something to eat and can live a happy and safe life, they will obey the imperial court's arrangement!

As soon as Bingzhou returned, the Ministry of Agriculture began to get busy again. Whether it was grain seeds or agricultural tools, it had to be deployed. It was still quite far from Sili to transport these things to Bingzhou.In the end, through my coordination, the Ministry of Industry sent a large number of craftsmen to Bingzhou to make farm tools, which saved our army from such a heavy delivery task.As for the grain, it saves a lot of trouble to transfer directly from Jinyang. At least the generals will attach great importance to the delivery of military grain, and the grain and grass are not easy to be robbed!
