During this period, he sent someone to deliver a letter to Ji Ling, telling him to ignore Xinzheng and lead his troops back to aid Yuzhou.
On the other hand, he sent someone to write a letter to Yuan Tan in Yangzhou, asking him to send troops to attack Guangling.
However, Yangzhou's current military strength is not large, and it is more than enough to protect itself, but it is unrealistic to send troops to attack Guangling.
His main force in Yangzhou is still in Wuguan, while the soldiers and horses staying in Xuzhou have been destroyed. Even if Yuan Tan intends to send troops, he can only sigh helplessly.
In the end, Yuan Shu could only hope that Yuan Shao could give up Wuguan and come to Yuzhou for support.
But it takes time to deliver the letter. Now, the two armies of Yuzhou have entered the hinterland of Yuzhou, especially the [-] cavalry, whose marching speed is unimaginable.
They had just arrived in Runan, and before their butts were hot, they received the [-] cavalry. They were already hundreds of miles away from Runan, and they would reach Runan by tonight at the latest.
After Yan Xiang received the news, he found Yuan Shu with a serious face and said to him.
"My lord, it will take at least ten days for Yuan Shao to come to aid Yuzhou, and General Ji Ling is probably restrained by Cao Cao. Once the [-] cavalrymen of the northern army in the town are surrounded by them, then the lord will have nowhere to escape." The possibility of ascension!"
Hearing this, Yuan Shu felt weak and dizzy. He couldn't even stand up, so he could only slump on his seat weakly.
But Yan Xiang didn't stop, but continued to speak to Yuan Shu who looked desperate.
"Now, my lord can only lead troops into Yangzhou or Jingzhou to avoid the front of the Zhenbei army! Yuzhou is no longer defendable!"
Yuan Shu's face became even more ashamed when he heard the words. After hesitating for a while, Yuan Shu said to Yan Xiang weakly.
"That guy Liu Yu is so tyrannical, even if so many forces surround him, he is not his opponent. Even if he escapes to Jingzhou, will he be safe? I really think that with the help of Jingyang and Yangzhou, Liu Yu can be resisted." ? I’m afraid I can’t even protect myself!”
Speaking of this, Yuan Shu seemed to think about it. At this moment, Yuan Shu's eyes regained his brilliance, and his face showed confidence.
"How about I lead the troops to surrender to Liu Yu? As we all know, although Liu Yu killed the prisoners cruelly, he treated the prisoners very well! I gave him Yuzhou and gave him so many soldiers and horses. I think Liu Yu would not Killed me!"
After finishing speaking, Yuan Shu stared at Yan Xiang with piercing eyes, wanting to hear what Yan Xiang had to say.
When Yan Xiang heard this, he was calm on the surface, but he was crazily complaining in his heart.
"Give Yuzhou to Liu Yu? That's what they fought down, okay? Give it to their soldiers and horses? Do they care about you, weak soldiers and weak generals? Give preferential treatment to prisoners? Don't you know what your surname is? What kind of virtue is Yuan Kai and Yuan Feng , the hatred with Liu Yu, don't you have any point in your heart?"
However, Yan Xiang just complained in his heart. If he said it, he didn't know Yuan Shu's result, and he would definitely be buried by Yuan Shu.
"My lord, you can't. The Yuan family you live in has been feuding with Liu Yu for a long time. If others surrender to Liu Yu, maybe they can be given preferential treatment, but you..."
Yan Xiang didn't continue, but his meaning couldn't be more obvious, if Yuan Shu wasn't a pig, he could understand it.
Sure enough, after hearing Yan Xiang's words, Yuan Shu's self-confidence and the look in his eyes disappeared.
After being silent for a long while, Yuan Shu smashed the armrest of the seat bitterly, snorted coldly, and said in his mouth.
"Hmph! It's all my father and uncle's fault. Why did they offend Liu Yu? Now I, Yuan Shu, are like a stray dog! Liu Yu was so powerful back then, so he had to think about it and be his enemy! Don't think about it for future generations! "
Yan Xiang was dumbfounded when he heard Yuan Shu's words, if Yuan Feng and Yuan Kai knew what Yuan Shu said.
I don't know if the two of them will climb out of the grave and bring Yuan Shu down!
"Cough cough..."
Yuan Shu, who was still angry, heard Yan Xiang's light cough, and then he looked at Yan Xiang.
"My lord, now, let's not think too much about it. It's important to escape! If you don't escape, once you are surrounded by the cavalry of the Zhenbei Army, it will be too late!"
Yuan Shu came back to his senses when he heard the words, and saw him talking to Yan Xiang in a panic.
"Yes, yes, yes! Hurry up and order, the whole army will move out again! Flee south... No, march south!"
After saying that, Yuan Shu was taken aback for a moment, as if he had thought of something, so Yuan Shu spoke again and asked Yan Xiang.
"However, if I continue to march south like this, won't General Ji Ling be surrounded by the three-way army? You know, I have only such a strong general who can fight well! If..."
When Yan Xiang heard the words, he suddenly felt blocked in his heart. Why was he so hard to think about it back then?Can he go to Yuan Shu? !
It seems that my parents built a flexible mind for themselves, but they didn't build a pair of good eyes for him.
"My lord! It's already this time, don't think about anything else, the most important thing is to save your life! If I wait to go to Xinzheng, then the one surrounded on three sides will be you, my lord! And your elder brother will not go to Xinzheng for rescue! "
After Yuan Shu heard this, he calmed down a lot. The only way to do it now is to give up Ji Ling!
Compared with Ji Ling, his own life is undoubtedly much more precious. I hope that Ji Ling can escape from Yuzhou smoothly!
Even if you can't escape from Yuzhou, you still have to bite off a piece of the Zhenbei army!
As for whether Ji Ling would lead the army to surrender, Yuan Shu was never worried at all.
Because Ji Ling's family, young and old, are all in their own family, if Ji Ling surrenders, then...
……
Chapter 474 Dismayed
Here, facing the intimidation of the cavalry of the Northern Army of [-] towns, Yuan Shu fled south in a panic.
And Ji Ling, at this time, has been restrained by Cao Cao's people, unable to advance or retreat.
As long as Ji Ling shows signs of leading the army to retreat, then Cao Cao will send Huang Zhong, or Xiahou Dun, and Zhang Ren, who has been in Xinzheng for many days, to lead troops to provoke.
If Ji Ling was ready to give it a go, then Huang Zhong and the others would lead their troops back to Xinzheng.
Facing the cavalry who came and went like the wind, Ji Ling could only stare blankly, after all, a two-legged one would not be able to outrun a four-legged one.
If Cao Cao wants to fight Ji Ling decisively, Ji Ling, who has already lost 2 horses, will also be defeated by Cao Cao.
However, most of the Zhenbei Army staying in Xinzheng are infantry, although they have received cavalry training.
However, due to the short training time and the fact that he did not ride a horse through the battlefield, his combat power was insufficient.
Even if Ji Ling is defeated in the end, there will undoubtedly be many casualties in the Zhenbei Army, which is not what Cao Cao wants to see.
Now, in the eyes of Cao Cao, Ji Ling is nothing more than a turtle in a urn. As long as Zhou Yu leads the troops to Runan, he will do a good job of defense.
Then Guo Jia can enter Yingchuan with Xu Huang and pursue Ji Ling together.
In this way, even if Ji Ling's [-] soldiers and horses were wiped out, it would not cause much casualties to the Zhenbei Army at all.
If he could defeat Ji Ling with the least loss, why would Cao Cao not do it?
As for Yuan Shao, he is now facing the same situation as Ji Ling.
Although Yuan Shao had a large number of people, they were all elite cavalry, and Yuan Shao did not dare to be careless.
Moreover, after so many days of storming, Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses also lost a lot. Now, Yuan Shao's enthusiasm has gradually cooled down, and he already has the intention of retreating.
Especially after Yuan Shao received Yuan Shu's letter asking for help, this idea became more firm.
Finally, under Xun Chen's strong suggestion, Yuan Shao borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, and then led the army back to Jingzhou in disgrace.
As for Ji Ling, Yuan Shao didn't have the skills to save him. Maybe Liu Yu led his troops back before he arrived in Yuzhou.
A mere Ji Ling is not worth Yuan Shao's risk. At that time, he might as well go back to Jingzhou and devote himself to development.
And Jia Xu, seeing Yuan Shao leading the troops to retreat, did not let Guan Yu lead the troops to pursue him.
Yuan Shao's retreat showed that Jia Xu's prediction was correct, and Xuzhou and Yuzhou must have been occupied by his own people.
And the result of this chaos among the princes has basically come to an end.
The biggest winner is his own lord, who not only got Xuzhou and Yuzhou, but also indirectly conquered Youzhou and Liangzhou!It can be said that the harvest is full.
And the biggest loser is undoubtedly Yuan Shu, not to mention the loss of the territory, and only 5 troops left under his command.
Even his favorite general is now in deep trouble, surrounded by Yingchuan.
But what Jia Xu has to do now is to guard Wuguan for his lord and wait for his lord to return to Luoyang.
……
At this time, Ji Ling led [-] soldiers and horses in Yingchuan Changsha, and they were stationed here.
He knew that the entire Changsha had been monitored by enemy spies in all directions.
The insidious Cao Cao led his troops to station near the Changsha. As long as he took the initiative to attack, Cao Cao would lead his people back.
When he returned to Changsha, Cao Cao led the people back the same way again. If he retreated while fighting, Cao Cao would fly kites at them.
Why fly a kite? !It is to send cavalry to keep a distance of [-] meters from their own army, and then shoot with bows and crossbows.
Although Ji Ling gritted his teeth with hatred, he had nothing to do with the cavalry. In the end, Ji Ling could only return to Changsha and make plans.
Ji Ling had already received his lord's letter, but he really didn't have the resources to spare, if his lord could get a war horse.
Well, if he is also a cavalryman, Ji Ling has the confidence to break through Cao Cao's blockade and return safely.
However, the war horses were all controlled by Liu Yu, even if they searched all the war horses in Yuzhou into the army, they still couldn't make up a thousand horses.
But in the face of the tens of thousands of Zhenbei Army and thousands of cavalry, it is not enough to put people's teeth.
"Ugh!"
Ji Ling turned his grievances and unwillingness into a sigh.
Land battles are indeed dominated by cavalry. Infantry fighting cavalry, even if the number of cavalry is twice that of the enemy, they will not be able to catch up or escape, so they can only stare blankly.
"Report...!"
Just as Ji Ling was sitting alone in the government office, sighing, a loud shout suddenly came.
Afterwards, a messenger soldier was seen rushing into the hall.
"Report! General, Cao Cao led the army and is marching towards Changshe, and now we have reached five miles in front of Changshe City!"
When Ji Ling heard this, his already calm face became even more gloomy now.
After waving away the ordering soldiers, Ji Ling stood up slowly, frowned, and walked out of the hall.
Although I don't know what Cao Cao is thinking, but Cao Cao has already approached the city, and he has to go out for a meeting for a while.
Suddenly, Ji Ling, who had already stepped out of the government office, froze in place abruptly.
He thought of a possibility that Cao Cao's reinforcements might have arrived.
Could it be that the soldiers and horses attacking Yuzhou have already defeated their lord, and now they have reunited with Cao Cao? !
Thinking of this, Ji Ling's cold sweat broke out in a flash, and then Ji Ling took another step towards the city gate.
He didn't dare to think about it anymore, Cao Cao has come to Changsha, then everything will be revealed.
A while later, Ji Ling boarded the top of the city, looked up, and saw a cavalry army in the distance, like a black python, moving quickly towards the Changsha.
Seeing this well-equipped and murderous cavalry, Ji Ling couldn't help but a hint of envy flashed in his eyes.
If he could hold such an elite cavalry in his hands, how could he, Ji Ling, be beaten so humiliated?
"call……"
Ji Ling let out a deep breath, then shook his head violently, throwing out some unrealistic thoughts, and then a gleam of determination flashed in his eyes.
Although my lord is not a hero, but he was able to promote himself in the grass, all he can do now is to repay him with death!
"Rumble..."
The iron hooves ravaged the ground, splashing smoke and dust all over the sky, and even the ground made a sound of being overwhelmed.
As this torrent of steel got closer and closer to Changshe City, their speed became slower and slower.
A hundred meters away from Changshe City, I saw the leader of the cavalry suddenly raised his right hand.
The moment he raised his right hand, he saw the army suddenly stop.
After the army stopped, they saw the leader of them, riding a war horse, walking slowly towards Changshe City for a certain distance, and then spoke.
"General Ji Ling, now, your lord has abandoned you and fled to Jingzhou with his family and the remaining remnants of the soldiers, but you still intend to resist the prince's army?!"
Ji Ling on the top of the city was stunned when he heard the words, although Ji Ling had already guessed that his lord had given up on him.
But when Cao Cao said it, he couldn't help but feel a throbbing pain in his heart.
That's right, the leader of this group of cavalry is exactly Cao Cao.
……
Chapter 475 Ji Ling breaks through
"call……"
Ji Ling took a deep breath, and his expression returned to normal. Looking at Cao Cao at the bottom of the city, Ji Ling spoke slowly.
"Cao Mengde, don't talk too much! Whether you are attacking the city or what, I, Ji Ling, will follow! At this moment, Ji Ling is standing here, if you have the ability, then take Ji Ling's head away!"
