Chapter 105 Yuan Shao is missing, and Zhang Xuan is ready to surrender!!

When Yuan Shao’s words fell, everyone was silent, after all, now that all the grain and grass have been burned, retreating is a problem.

Although there are 300,000 troops under his hands, it is a burden now, Tian Feng said after a slight groan.

“Lord Qiqi, the most important thing for me to wait for the current situation is to determine the secrecy work so that the soldiers cannot know about it.”

“Although there is no guarantee that the news will not be leaked by Cao Jun, it is better for me to delay it for some time so that I can evacuate safely.”

“The 300,000 army must not be taken away, what I have to do now is to abandon the pawn and protect the car, and there can still be a way to live.”

Tian Feng paused slightly when he said this, and everyone’s faces were inexplicable, which was the best choice.

The grain and grass stored in the camp did not last long, and it was a helpless move to give up most of the soldiers.

Even Guo Tu, who usually contradicts Tian Feng and other Jizhou factions, did not stand up to refute at this time, and also remained silent.

After Yuan Shao heard such a strategy, a hint of struggle appeared on his face and nodded, and Tian Feng continued.

“Lord Qiyu, in order to ensure the safe evacuation of me and others, while the soldiers have not received news now, we should order them to attack the city!”

“First, it will allow them to drag down the enemy army and buy us time, and second, it will block Cao Ying’s desire to tell the fact that our army’s grain and grass have been burned.”

“I will take the opportunity to carry the grain and grass in the battalion, as well as tens of thousands of elite soldiers and horses to evacuate directly, as long as I return to Jizhou, I can make a comeback.”

Hearing this, everyone looked at Yuan Shao with burning eyes, and now Yuan Shao still occupies the land of the three states, and there are still a few arrangements in the state of Yuanzhou.

After going back, it is the best policy to regroup and recruit troops again, Yuan Shao seemed to be more than ten years old in an instant, and sighed.

“According to what Yuan Hao said, now let the two generals Zhang Xuan and Gao Yan lead the army to attack the city, I will wait, just take the opportunity to retreat!”

After giving the order, Yuan Shao waved his hand to let everyone retreat, Tian Feng and the others bowed and retreated, and now no one can comfort the lost Yuan Shao.

After all, he wanted to go south to attack Cao Cao, but now he could only flee in embarrassment, and he couldn’t accept it.

Due to Tian Feng’s timely extinction, the news of Wuchao’s burning did not spread, and Zhang Xuan and Gao Yan happily led the troops to attack the city.

The mighty army of more than 200,000 troops directly surrounded Guandu City, and Zhang Xuan and Gao Yan received an order to fight to the death and directly take Guandu.

On the other hand, in the Yuan army camp, as more than 200,000 troops came out of the camp to fight, the entire camp seemed a little empty.

Tian Feng, on the other hand, sent a group of guards to quickly collect grain and grass, preparing to retreat, and the only grain and grass left in the camp was just enough for them to reach Jizhou.

As for the more than 200,000 troops who went out of the camp to fight, it was no longer within the scope of Yuan Shao and the others’ considerations, and it was arranged for Hou Tian Feng and the others under his command to come to the tent again.

Yuan Shao sat expressionlessly, and saw Tian Feng and the others come in without the slightest reaction, and after thinking a little in frustration, he stepped forward and saluted.

“Lord Qiqi, the elite and grain and grass have been arranged, I should retreat later, and ask the Lord Duke to give an order!”

Tian Feng and the others also looked at Yuan Shao, their expressions were a little inexplicable, after this retreat, they didn’t know when they could attack, but Yuan Shao didn’t react.

“I waited for the lord to order a retreat and return to Jizhou to regroup, and Guo Tu and Tian Feng looked at each other and answered in unison, this is a matter of their own life and death, and the two factions that usually fight for jealousy have reached a consensus and have stepped forward to support it.”

Yuan Shao looked at the people who asked to retreat, his lips did not open but there were no words, but he nodded a little lonely and began to walk outside the tent.

Frustrated and Guo Tu and the others hurriedly stepped forward to follow, and after leaving the tent, the guards had already prepared the good horses, and the Yuan army generals in the distance also looked over respectfully.

Seeing that the remaining soldiers were still full of respect for themselves, a trace of vitality appeared on Yuan Shao, who was sitting on horseback, and after taking a deep breath, he ordered loudly.

“The whole army obeys the order, retreat with me, go home!”

“No!”

All the generals answered in unison, and Yuan Shao urged his horses to drive directly to the north, followed by a group of military generals and soldiers and Yuan Jun generals and horses.

At the same time, outside Guandu City, there were Yuan army generals who were siege the city all four walls, and under the command of Zhang Xuan and Gao Yan, the morale was strong.

Zhang Xuan and Gao Yan were very attentive to the task assigned by Yuan Shao this time, after all, they were originally subordinates of Jizhou Assassin Shi Hanfu, and they were not very trusted before.

Now the opportunity to command an army of more than 200,000 is extremely precious, but Zhang Xuan and Gao Yan don’t know that they are all abandoned sons.

On a city wall, Cao Cao was taking Cao Chen and others to supervise the battle, watching the Cao army generals blocking the enemy’s attack in an orderly manner.

“Zi Zhan, today’s Yuan army is sieging the city like crazy, not caring about casualties, but what happened?”

In the face of Cao Cao’s questions, everyone was also interested, Yuan Jun’s madness was indeed surprising, Cao Chen replied with a smile.

“Father, if there is no accident, General Zhang Xiu’s night attack on the crow’s nest should be successful, and all the grain and grass of Yuan Jun will be burned.”

“As for how Yuan should deal with these 300,000 troops after there is no grain and grass, it should be like now, abandoning the pawn and protecting the car.”

After Cao Chen finished speaking, everyone couldn’t help but take a deep breath, and the Yuan family that attacked the four city walls today was endless.

So many soldiers and horses were put down like a strong man with broken wrists, but this was also a helpless move, Cao Chen continued.

“I just need to hold this attack, and when they return to the camp after dark, they will naturally know the difference.”

“In order to ensure that they can evacuate safely, Yuan Benchu and the others will presumably take away the grain and grass in Yuan’s camp and leave it for eating on the way to retreat.”

“And this abandoned Yuan army general, after there is no grain and grass, I can take advantage of the situation, or accept their beggars.”

Everyone listened to what Cao Chen said, their eyes were shining, Yuan Shao led hundreds of thousands of troops to fight this time, but he was defeated.

And if so many Yuan Jun generals are lowered, then Cao Ying’s strength will definitely be able to go to the next level, Cao Cao said with a smile.

“I didn’t expect that when I repelled Yuan Benchu, I didn’t need to use 250,000 new troops, which is really surprising.”

“Then when it gets dark, send someone to the Yuan army camp to inquire, and you can confirm whether Zi Zhan’s guess is correct.”

“But now, in the face of these incoming Yuan soldiers, I can’t be merciful, I must beat them to pain!”

As night approached, Zhang Xuan and Gao Yan chose to withdraw their troops, and although they attacked from the four city walls this time, they did not achieve any results.

Even though some soldiers attacked the city wall several times, they could not get any benefit in the face of the orderly defense of the Cao army and the abundance of wood rolling stones.

Zhang Xuan and Gao Yan returned to the camp a little lonely, ready to be reprimanded by Yuan Shao, but when the two came to the tent.

But they saw a scene that made the two of them stunned, in the entire handsome tent, there was no one empty, and Yuan Shao and the others did not know where to go.

Moreover, there was also chaos in the Yuan army camp, and the soldiers who had been fighting for a day thought that when they returned to the camp, there would be prepared meals waiting for them.

But unexpectedly, there was no one left in the camp, and more importantly, there was no grain and grass left in the camp, and the troops would do their best to calm the restless soldiers.

The generals and their party came directly to the tent to inquire about the situation, but they only saw Gao Yan and Zhang Xuan with gloomy faces, and one of the generals asked with some hesitation.

“Qi two generals, all the grain and grass in the camp have been taken away, and there has been a lot of chaos among the soldiers under my command, and I can barely calm it down.”

“The soldiers who have been fighting for a day have no food, so I will not be able to control the soldiers in this way, and I will ask the two soldiers to ask the lord.”

Before the group realized that Yuan Shao and the others had left, Zhang Xuan and Gao Yan looked at each other, their faces were full of bitter smiles, and Zhang Xuan said in a deep voice.

“Don’t hide it from you, General Gao and I have not found the figure of the lord until now, not only that, but the military masters have also not found it.”

“When I waited out of the camp to attack the city, the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses that should have been left behind in the camp were also missing, and it seems that the lord and they should evacuate.”

When Zhang Chen’s words fell, all the generals had a look of astonishment on their faces, feeling as if their faith had collapsed, and someone asked indignantly.

“What the two generals mean is that I and the soldiers were abandoned by the lord like this, why?”

“Although I did not take Guandu, the officers and men of our army fought hard to the death and did not be lazy or slack.”

“And the lord and the others took away all the grain and grass in the camp, so how can I wait for so many soldiers to eat, this is to kill us!”

Faced with such a question, Gao Yan and Zhang Bu could only nod helplessly, and this is the case, a subordinate general said in a deep voice.

“Two generals, now I have no way to wait, if I want to live, I can only surrender to Cao Jun.”

“Otherwise, if this continues, the soldiers will not have food, and sooner or later they will starve to death, and it will be impossible to escape back to Jizhou.”

“Since the Lord has abandoned me and others, then we have not preserved this ridiculous loyalty, I will wait for the beggar!”

A hint of intention appeared on the faces of all the generals, and after Zhang Xuan and Gao Yan pondered for a long time, Gao Yan said loudly.

“If the Lord is not kind, don’t blame me for waiting for injustice, tomorrow I will send someone to surrender to Cao Jun in exchange for a way to live.”

“And now His Majesty is in Xudu, we are just going astray and converting to orthodoxy!”

When everyone listened to what Gao Yan said, their eyes lit up, and they no longer had any burden on the matter of returning, and they echoed one after another.

Just when everyone reached an agreement and was about to discuss how to surrender tomorrow, they heard a report from a soldier outside the tent.

“General Qiyu, there are envoys from the Cao army visiting outside, do you want to see each other?”

Hearing this, Zhang Xuan and Gao Yan showed joy on their faces, and quickly got up and walked towards the outside of the tent.
