"Everyone, do you have any solutions?"

The sunset was burning red in the sky, and a leaf fell at the feet of the speaker with the autumn wind. Yuan Shao swept across everyone expressionlessly, and there were still shouts of fighting in the city in the distance. When he was silent, someone next to him lowered his head and spoke in a low voice.

"Lord, Yecheng is the base camp, and most of the soldiers and families are in the city. If they fall, Yu Du will not just plunder food and property like last time. Gongsun Zhi's plan to surround Wei and save Zhao was indeed accurate. Once we retreat, he will harass you in Youzhou, which is equivalent to opening a retreat route for Gongsun Zan..."

As Guo Tu spoke, everyone looked at each other, and many people sighed and shook their heads. After all, after retreating, Gongsun Zan would inevitably regain his power. Even if Yuan Shao owned the three states, he would always be sandwiched between Yan and Youzhou and was shackled by others.

"The words of the Lord only talk about harm, but why don't they talk about profit?" It was Tian Feng who walked out from behind the crowd.

On this side, Guo Tu frowned and stared at him hard: "What's wrong with Guo?"

"You are just worried about the wealth and relatives who stayed in Yecheng." Tian Feng didn't care about offending the other party, shook his broad sleeves and bowed to Yuan Shao: "Lord, Yecheng does need to return to help. After all, it is related to the morale of the army, but it is really unwilling to let Gongsun Zan go so easily."

The surroundings became quiet. The supreme commander in charge of the army was still quite calm. He heard the words of the soldiers and nodded: "I am really unwilling to let Gongsun Zan go when the war is over. Yuan Hao must have had a good idea in his heart when he said this?"

"I dare not make good plans, but Feng speculated that the white wolf that haunted Youzhou might not be the one who haunted Youzhou. With his temperament, he must have waited in the dark. When the time is right, he will reveal his fangs... He has used this plan many times." Tian Feng walked slowly, and his voice analyzed, and then paused: "Lord, why not have a general to take advantage of the plan and send an army back to the Yecheng Town to scare the bandits, and the rest are showing signs of large-scale withdrawal. Once the white wolf shows up and enters the city, the army will kill the father and son to death together. The north is peaceful!"

On the other side, Yuan Shao, who was standing under the tree, thought for a while, waved his hand, and looked hesitant: "The plan made by Yuan Hao really makes people shine. It is just that Yecheng is in danger, and it will be useless to send a group of troops back. When the city is broken, the family members and their families will be captured by the Black Mountain bandits. Yecheng is the root of me, how can I lose it..."

Everyone behind him was thinking, after all, they had family members. At this time, they suddenly thought to themselves: What should the family do if the bandits in the Black Mountain broke through the city? Yu Du, the thief, was very familiar with Yecheng...

"... But I feel unwilling to let Gongsun Zan run away for nothing..." Yuan Shao looked at the city where the fighting was over there, igniting flames, and finally made a decision: "The main force returned to Yecheng first and defeated the 60,000 black bandits, relieve the danger of Yecheng, and then came back and wiped out Gongsun Zan in one fell swoop. He could not go back to Youzhou now, and Gongsun Zhi would definitely be in the secret. It was impossible to go to the east, north and south. Only the five Ruan Passes in the west could connect Shanggu County. After the army withdrew, a army should be sent to set up an ambush in the middle and attacked it halfway. Even if the white wolf could not be killed, it could be delayed until the main force came back."

After the decision was made, the order to withdraw the troops began to be conveyed. Tian Feng looked at the busy logistics soldiers who were about to be deported and sighed: "How can an ordinary general deal with that wolf..."

...

On the city wall, when Jin Ming was sent to withdraw his troops, Han Juzi hit the wall again, his shoulders and his arms dyed most of his body red. The weapons bounced on bricks and stones and fell off the top of the city. The crowd began to retreat. He got up with difficulty. The gentian gun pierced through his abdomen, and his whole body shaking. His neck twisted backwards and looked at the military formation outside the city.

"Why......receive the troops..."

When the spear head was pulled out, the body fell down.

Zou Dan, sitting on the ground, covered his wound and looked at the body. Zhao Yun, who was holding a gun next to him, looked at the retreating military formation outside. The footsteps that shook the earth, the sound of horse hooves slowly retreated, and the lined flags were moving. Then, someone's voice shouted at the top of the city: "The enemy has retreated."

"We're here to stay!"

"Victory... Yuan Shao retreated!"

Countless cheers and shouts of joy sounded at the top of the city. In the wounded barracks set up under the city, some people heard the shouts, twisted their heads with difficulty, clenched their fists: "We won..." Then there was no breath, and a little further away, the rows of houses spread out. The people in the house opened the window and looked around for a moment. Most of them retreated expressionlessly. Some people at home died of coercion, knelt in front of the spirit tablet and cursed.

In the government office, Gongsun Zan was drunk and was lying in the long-term case. The news of his retreat had long been blocked. The death of his brother was not the biggest blow to him, but it was also part of his depression.

******************************

A few days later, after the war, Yi Jing was busy repairing the city walls and clearing the bodies, and heading far northwest. The sun shrouded behind the clouds floating in, riding alone on the field. Soon after, he disappeared into a forest. On the opposite side, a general wearing a cloak and a wolf armor was talking to the two people beside him. When the news came, he looked at the field outside the forest.

"Ambushe..." Gongsun Zhi rode alone to the edge of the forest, with a phantom map in his eyes, then turned his head and smiled: "I have never been afraid of being ambushed... It's really obvious..."

Behind him, Yan Rou, whispered: "The leader started talking to himself again... Who is he talking to..."

"It's not me anyway!" Li Ke leaned against the tree body with his mace in his arms, and after a slight silence, the figure riding a horse from the other side also returned and raised his fingers: "I have a plan. Since someone ambushed us, just kill that guy from behind."

"..." The three of them, Dian Wei, who was escorting, were silent. What kind of plan was this? However, Dian Wei nodded simply: "Okay!"

The team began to gather. When they came to this side from the depths of the woods, scouts had already begun to run out of the woods, looking for the ambushing Jizhou army scouts to "single-on-one". The evil man also found a person out of it and threw it on the ground. Gongsun Zhi looked at him and waved to someone to lead a horse.

"Second Young Master Yuan."

The thin body on the ground heard the sound, and the conditioned reflexes rose from the ground, stood up straight and said loudly: "Here."

"You can go back to Yecheng." In Gongsun Zhi's voice, Li Ke led his horse over to stuff the reins into the other party's hand, and his words continued: "...Help your father well after going back. After all, your family is three brothers. Whoever pleases your father in the future will have a larger territory in the future."

Yuan Xi was shocked and did not dare to look at the person in front of him. He just swallowed his spit and nodded hard: "...I know...I know." Then, he hunched his hands tremblingly: "Then...Na Xi will say goodbye first."

I led the horse and stumbled up. I first slowly, and after walking away, I suddenly whipped my whip and rushed towards a certain place. It seemed that the scout mentioned the direction of ambush...

"This child was trained by Manager Jian..." Qian Zhao pushed the evil man next to him with his elbow: "...What do you think?"

Dian Wei hugged his arms seriously and glared at the other party: "Look? How else can he look? You just stand and watch..."

The black war horse came forward, and Gongsun Zhi crossed the reins and glanced at them: "That's all, let Mr. Yuan attract the attention of the other party. Since there was an ambush, it means that Li Ru's plan was seen through. As for why there were only such a few people ambushing me, I don't understand, but the previous plan was useless, so how should I fight or how should I fight."

While speaking, three thousand Black Mountain Cavalry formed an array, and the generals in front drew their swords and immediately said: "It's better... kill a few Yuan generals."

Not long after, Gongsun Zhi entered Jizhou.8)
