Three Kingdoms: I will return it ten thousand times, my lord, I will never keep it for myself

On the fourth day, Yuan Shao sat in the tent, with documents piled on the desk. He was meticulously handling the heavy military affairs, and his brows revealed a sense of majesty that could not be disturbed.

Suddenly, a burst of hurried horse hoof sounds broke the tranquility of the camp, and a scout rushed in from outside the tent, his face full of urgency.

"Report to the lord! Urgent news! We found signs of Bingzhou cavalry only ten miles away from the periphery of our camp. The situation is critical!"

"What!? Bingzhou cavalry has arrived? How did they appear here? How did they get here by bypassing Zhuo County?"

"How many cavalrymen are there!"

The scout was still panting, but he quickly responded: "Report to the lord, according to my humble observation, the number of Bingzhou cavalry is huge, about nearly 10,000 people, and their momentum is like a rainbow, which should not be underestimated!"

As soon as these words came out, Yuan Shao's face turned ashen in an instant, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes that was difficult to conceal. He stood up suddenly, his clothes swaying slightly, as if even the air in the tent was frozen by his anger and anxiety.

"Ten thousand cavalrymen... who is the leader? Have you found out?" Yuan Shao's voice was low and powerful, and every word revealed unquestionable majesty.

"The scout bowed hurriedly and tried to recall: "My lord, due to the long distance and the rapid movement of the Bingzhou cavalry, I was unable to get close to investigate. But according to the strict formation, we can only see that the leader is holding the Zhao flag!"

"It's not good! Now our elite troops are all trapped in the quagmire of Zhuo County, and there are only 20,000 lonely troops left, like a candle in the wind, swaying!" Yuan Shao frowned, and his voice could not hide his anxiety.

Seeing this, Feng Ji stepped forward in a hurry, speaking anxiously but calmly: "My lord, make a decision when necessary! Quickly order General Ju Yi to gather his troops and switch to a defensive position. The city of Zhuo County is no longer what it used to be. It may be difficult to recover it under a strong attack. It is better to call off the troops for the time being and make plans for the future. "

"The halberd soldiers under my command are like a copper wall and iron fortress. How dare the enemy cavalry attack lightly? However, looking at their vanguards, most of them are light cavalry, which are more mobile than the impact force. The heavy armored cavalry will not arrive overnight."

Yuan Shao pondered for a moment, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes.

"That's right! You are right. When Ju Yi leads the vanguard to return to the camp for support, we will have the capital to fight against Liu Yao! At that time, it is the best policy to retreat in an orderly manner and preserve strength."

Yuan Shao nodded in a hurry.

"Yes! Let Ju Yi come back immediately! ”

……

At the same time, Zhao Yun, the brave and skilled general, was leading the most elite cavalry of the Sixth Legion, rushing like a gust of wind on the wide official road, stirring up dust and looking very imposing.

Zhao Yun’s military merits were the weakest now, and his qualifications were the least, so Liu Yao gave all the opportunities to perform to Zhao Yun.

Liu Yao was naturally the most clear about how high Zhao Yun’s martial arts value could be.

The titles of generals of the main and deputy generals of other legions were all obtained through military merits, and Zhao Yun and Huang Xu were both airborne.

Faced with such an environment, Zhao Yun knew that only by accumulating military merits that were shocking enough with a more rapid attitude could he not only be fearless of any challenges when he stood shoulder to shoulder with many generals of the same level in the future, but also win the respect and trust he deserved.

This time, Liu Yao finally He adopted the wise strategy of Tian Feng and Ju Su, and did not lead troops to attack Zhuo County rashly, but aimed at Yuan Shao's heartland and attacked his camp directly. This move was like a spring breeze and rain, and the siege of Zhuo County was lifted without a fight.

Seeing this, Yuan Shao ordered a retreat, and the Bingzhou army was like a dragon out of the sea, taking advantage of the situation and rising up, and its momentum was unstoppable. Not only did they lift the siege, but they also took the entire Zhuo County into their pockets in one go.

At this point, the Bingzhou army looked south to Jizhou , victory is already in hand, and as long as the time is right, they can march south with unstoppable force.

If Yuan Shao insists on not withdrawing, it will be another scene. Zhao Yun's cavalry, thousands of cavalry galloping, followed by tens of thousands of Bingzhou elite cavalry, are like dark clouds pressing down on the sky, covering the sun. For those who are lucky and try to resist stubbornly, Zhao Yun only responds with an indifferent smile.

"This road is blocked. If you want to stay, you will sink with this land. "

Zhao Yun will definitely win military merit in this battle, and gradually become a general. He and Huang Xu are both Liu Yao's key training targets.

...

Under the city of Zhuo County, the clouds of war are dense, and the troops led by Ju Yi have torn through the defense line of the city wall like a storm.

Just when they were about to take the city.

Yuan Shao's order to retreat also arrived in Zhuo County.

Retreat?" A trace of disbelief flashed in Ju Yi's eyes, and then turned into deep helplessness and unwillingness. He turned to look at Ju Wu, who was also shocked beside him, and his voice was light, but heavy as a mountain, "We must retreat.

Ju Wu heard the words, his face suddenly changed, as ifStruck by thunder, he shouted in disbelief: "Retreat? We have fought so hard to this point, and Zhuo County is within our grasp. If we retreat now, wouldn't it be a waste of the blood and sweat of countless soldiers? Brother, how can we accept this!"

Ju Yi shook his head gently, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes, with both the feeling of the impermanence of the battlefield and the insistence on the military orders.

"Ju Wu, on the battlefield, the situation changes rapidly. General Yuan Shao has his own foresight. As generals, we should take the overall situation as the priority and obey the orders. Pass the order down, the whole army will retreat immediately and in an orderly manner, and we must not linger on."

Ju Wu heard this, although he was unwilling, but he also knew that the military orders were like mountains and could not be disobeyed. He clenched his fists and beat the broken walls of the city wall fiercely, as if to vent all his unwillingness and anger.

"Sound the horn to withdraw the troops."

At this time in Zhuo County, Liu Bei was commanding the retreat. An arrow deeply embedded in his shoulder, but it failed to shake him at all.

He gritted his teeth and supported his shaky body with extraordinary willpower. He prepared to lead his guards and was about to escape with Zhang Fei and Guan Yu.

Just when despair and tenacity were intertwined, a sudden sound of the horn sounded, like the sound of nature, penetrating the hustle and bustle of the battlefield, making the three people's hearts tremble.

Zhang Fei held the Zhangba Snake Spear, his eyes were like torches, he looked around, his face full of disbelief: "Brother, listen, the enemy army... seems to be really retreating!"

Guan Yu, with his phoenix eyes slightly narrowed, surrounded by a calm aura, he whispered: "Brother, there is no time to lose, let's go up to the city wall to find out."

"Let's go! Let's go and see!"

When the three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang had just walked to the city wall of Zhuo County, the Jizhou army had already begun to retreat.

Liu Bei was immediately overjoyed, but he felt a burst of pain from the arrow wound on his shoulder, and then he fainted with his eyes rolled back.
