There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

No one dared to stand up and preside over the overall situation without prior setting of these matters.

There are too many chaos and disputes within Yuan Jun.

No one has enough prestige to overwhelm other people.

In this way, each of Yuan Jun's generals commanded their own soldiers and horses, while cautiously resisting the Jinling Army's counterattack, while changing formations, they slowly retreated towards the rear.

Under such circumstances, the plan to attack the Jinling army's Dazhai at night was declared bankrupt.

The pottery merchant didn't send anyone to pursue him, he gave Pei Qian an order to tell all the ministries to bluff, not to overdo it, just make sure that Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses are withdrawn, and return to the village immediately to avoid any accidents.

By the time the battle was over, the sky had already brightened, but the Jinling Army, who had been exhausted all night, still could not rest. Everyone still had to clean up the mess, take care of the camp, and deal with the corpses and other follow-up matters.

The potter sat on the steps of the high platform in the school yard, looking around.

He pouted his chin while watching, thinking carefully.

When I was young, Huang Xu and A Fei walked over together.

"I have seen the Prime Minister."

The Tao merchant was interrupted by the words of the two of them, he raised his head, looked at the two of them back and forth, and said with a smile: "Thanks to you this time, if you hadn't retreated Yuan Shao in time, the loss would have been far more than That's it."

Huang Xu looked around the situation in the camp, and sighed: "I didn't expect Yuan Shao to come up with such a strange strategy. The last few battles of our army have been a little too smooth, so I have underestimated the heroes of Hebei. Be cautious."

The potter stood up, shook his head and said: "No, if it was the original Yuan Shao, even if he could think of such a strategy, he would definitely not use it lightly. Yuan Shao has Yuan Shao's arrogance, he is a man who wants to show his face, although he also He likes to engage in low-level conspiracies and tricks, but they are all shameful things that are put on the table in private, and he is not willing to do them."

Ah Fei sniffed, and said in surprise: "The prime minister must have praised Yuan Shao too much. I think Yuan Benchu's name was the leader of the princes and alliance, but in fact he was not worthy of the name. He passed out after being shot by Huang Xu's helmet. This kind of person has the nerve to rule the four Zhou, claiming to be the number one prince in the world? It's ridiculous!"

After listening to A Fei's narration, the potter couldn't help being a little curious.

He has known Yuan Shao for many years, logically speaking, shouldn't Yuan Shao be such a person?

Even if the situation was urgent, it would be too dangerous to be hit by Huang Xu's arrow in his helmet, but logically speaking, Yuan Shao would not be so unfavorable.

He has been on the battlefield for many years, what situation has he not seen?

Still passed out?

The potter lowered his head and pondered for a long time, then slowly said: "Could it be high blood pressure? It shouldn't be. How happy is he to eat meat?"

A Fei and Huang Xu looked confused.

The potter thought for a while, and suddenly seemed to think of something.

He stood up, turned to Pei Qian and said, "Where is Qu Yi?"

Pei Qian cupped his hands and said, "We're in the west of Dazhai, arranging for the cremation of the corpse."

The potter stood up and went under the leadership of Pei Qian.

After each battle is over, cleaning the battlefield and clearing up the dead soldiers is a must.

If the corpse is not handled in time, it will spread diseases, and even cause plague in the worst case, affecting the living, so we must pay attention to it.

And incineration can be said to be the most direct and most effective method at the same time.

Qu Yi personally presided over this matter, it can be seen that this is indeed a big event for him.

When the potter saw Qu Yi, he was supervising and directing the placement of the corpses.

His leg is still limping, and the injury has not healed.

"General Qu worked hard last night. Thanks to the general who commanded and presided over the overall situation last night in the Qianzhai, the Qianzhai was not breached, so that there was a later result."

Seeing the potter's arrival, Qu Yi hurriedly bowed his hands in salute, and said, "The prime minister praised it, but it was thanks to the bravery of the two young generals under the prime minister's account that Yuan Shao was defeated."

Qu Yi's temper and arrogance seem to be much restrained compared to before, which makes the potter very pleased.Whether it's real or fake, it's a good thing.

"General Qu, when you shot Yuan Shao's arrow back then, I heard that there was medicine on it, is there such a thing?"

Koji grinned awkwardly.

After all, it wasn't some kind of bright method, and Qu Yi felt that it was a bit embarrassing for the potter to ask so directly.

"indeed so."

"Is that medicine fatal?"

Qu Yi shook his head, and said: "It's not fatal, but it must be somewhat poisonous. If you meet someone with a weak body, it might really kill you."

When he said this, Qu Yi seemed to have realized something.

"What does the prime minister think?"

The potter touched his nose and said hesitantly: "I always feel that Yuan Shao's recent behavior is not quite right. It seems that there is something that makes him very anxious. Could it be?"

Qu Yi thought about it seriously for a while, and said: "Yuan Shao is getting older, the older he is, the narrower his mind is, the narrower his mind is, and he is full of pride. Since the battle of Guandu, he has suffered repeated defeats. It may be exhausted physically and mentally, but it is not impossible, as the prime minister guessed."

While Tao Shang and Qu Yi were sighing, they saw Zhuge Liang rushing over and said, "Teacher, there is a letter from Zhong Da and General Zilong."

The potter turned around, and Zhuge Liang handed him a memorial written by Sima Yi

The pottery merchant opened the letter, but it was Sima Yi who reported to him: Southern Huns and Wuhuan fought fiercely against Xianbei Ke Bineng, both sides consumed a lot, Sima Yi and Zhao Yun commanded the Jinling White Horse Army to assist, and finally Ke Bineng was defeated and died. The Xianbei tribes surrendered, and the crisis in the north was basically calmed down.

However, after this battle, the fighting power of the northern tribes was greatly damaged, and they temporarily lost the ability to pose a threat to the Han Dynasty. Sima Yi asked Tian Yu and Xian Yufu to represent the court to control the tribes here, restrict their development, and gradually Accept the people to reclaim the frontier to enrich the population of the Han Dynasty.

After the potter saw it, he was very relieved.

At the same time, he thought of a plan.

"Kong Ming, send people to the north immediately, let Sima Yi and Zhao Yun go south from Qingzhou, bypass the main battlefield, and go to Yecheng along the Zhang River! If I send someone to contact Yuan Tan, if Yuan Shao is really in bad health now If you want to come to Yecheng, it seems that you can plot, Mr. Yuan has now become our most important pawn."

How clever Zhuge Liang was, he immediately understood the intention of the potter, and immediately dealt with the matter.

The strategy of the entire Jinling Army also took advantage of the trend and changed the main force to contain Yuan Shao on the front line, but actually secretly supported Yuan Tan in Yecheng and let him attack in Yecheng.

Chapter 771 The Desperate Yuan Tan

After Yuan Tan returned to Yecheng, he has been recuperating quietly.

When returning to Yuan Shao's side from the potter's village, in order not to make Yuan Shao suspicious, Yuan Tan gave up his body and let the pottery send people to tie him up there to kill him. Arrived at Yuan Shao's side.

The fact is that Yuan Tan's act of risking his life to sell meat is very right, and Yuan Shao really didn't suspect him. In the end, he returned to Yecheng without incident.

But this does not mean that Yuan Tan's nightmare is over.

On the contrary, this was the beginning of Yuan Tan's inner torment.
