Chapter 183
Didn't he send an urgent report, claiming that Liu Bei led an army of more than 100,000 to attack Luoyang?
Why did this 100,000-strong army intercept and capture Xudu?
Liu Bei and his army of hundreds of thousands have wings, one will appear in Luoyang, and the other will appear in Xudu?
In the minds of Yuan Shao's ministers, countless question marks were turning over the river and the sea.
"Could it be that Liu Bei is just feint to attack Luoyang, but in fact it is a plan to lure the snake out of the hole, just to lure Fu Zhi to lead the army out of the city and ambush him halfway?"
Guo Tu, who came to his senses, guessed.
"Exactly, exactly!"
Zhang Nan nodded again and again.
"It can't be!"
"How cautious the frustrated prince is, before leading the army out of the city, he will definitely send scouts to reconnoiter the movements of Liu Bei's army. "
"If Liu Bei's army hadn't left and was ambushed nearby, how could he not have noticed. "
Zhang He saw the flaw.
Guo Tu was speechless.
Zhang Nan said: "No matter what, it is a fact that Liu Bei's hundreds of thousands of troops are coming to Xu, otherwise how could I not be able to hold Xudu and be forced to abandon the city and retreat north!"
This time it was Zhang He's turn to be speechless.
For a while, everyone speculated all kinds of things, but they couldn't come up with a reason.
Yuan Shao's heart was also a mess.
That's when it happened.
A messenger galloped and dismounted.
"Lord Qiqi, Henan Yin urgent!"
"Liu Bei's 100,000 army attacked Henan Yin from Yuyuan Pass, our army is defeated, and Luoyang has been broken!"
Yuan Shao's body shook violently, the horsewhip in his hand fell, and his face was stunned.
According to what Zhang Nan said, shouldn't Liu Bei's 100,000-strong army just capture Xudu?
Why did this kung fu suddenly capture Luoyang again?
These 100,000 people, is it possible that Chengdu has learned to ride the clouds?
"Zhang Nan, what's going on?"
Yuan Shao's face was distorted with anger, and he shouted at Zhang Nan.
Zhang Nan's forehead was sweating, and he squeaked in fear: "The last general doesn't understand why, Liu Bei's army is obviously in Xudu, how could it break through Luoyang again, this, this-"
Just when the retainers of the Yuan family fell into all kinds of confusion and shock.
There were also remnants of defeated generals who fled from Xudu to Baima, bringing back the truth of the fall of Xudu for Yuan Shao.
There is no such thing as a hundred thousand Liu Jun at all.
There are only 5,000 cavalry of Liu's army!
It was Xiao Yuan's strategy that ordered Zhao Yun to lead 4,000 cavalry to ambush 20,000 infantry troops out of the city.
At the same time, Zhang Liao led a thousand iron horsemen, and tied branches to the tail of the horse, creating the illusion of an army of 100,000.
Then with a fake frustration head, Zhang Nan and the 10,000 defenders were frightened, thinking that the frustration was killed, and Liu Bei's 100,000 troops were coming to the city.
So, Zhang Nan was frightened and abandoned the city and fled.
Xiao Yuan only used 1,000 cavalry and captured Xudu without much effort.
After that, the defeated Fu Zhi fled back to Xudu, and also ordered Xiao Yuan to be shot.
Truth!
Yuan Shao's angry gaze slowly shot towards Zhang Nan.
"Only a thousand cavalry'.?"
"There are only 1,000 cavalry of the Liu Army under the city?"
"This, this..."
Zhang Nan's voice trembled, and his expression was ashamed and frightened.
At this moment, he suddenly realized that he was being played by Xiao Yuan, and abandoned Xu Du without a fight.
"Cowardly stupid waste!"
"I was so frightened by Xiao Yuan with a thousand cavalry that he fled without a fight, and he dared to lie that he was invincible and was forced to abandon the city and retreat north!"
"Come on, drag this fool down and behead it!"
Yuan Shao was furious and waved his hand to drink.
"The lord spares his life, the lord spares his life~~"
Zhang Nan fell to his knees, crying and pleading.
Yuan Shao was indifferent.
The generals on the left and right plotted for him, and no one pleaded for him, and his eyes were disdainful and hateful after all.
Zhang Nan was dragged away by the guards, and soon a head was cut off.
"Lord, Luoyang has fallen, Xu Capital has also been broken, and Fu Gong and 30,000 soldiers and horses have been wiped out. "
"The situation has reached such a point that it is out of control, and I will think that it is better to-"
Zhang Hegang wanted to persuade Yuan Shao to abandon the Henan prefectures and withdraw to Hebei.
Yuan Shao heard the signs, and his eyes suddenly glared at him.
Zhang He was slightly shocked, and he didn't dare to speak again.
The first prince in the world, led an army of more than 100,000 to the south, claiming to dominate the world.
As a result, he was beaten by Liu Bei, a weaver and peddler, to the point of losing his soldiers and fleeing back to Hebei in a disastrous defeat. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
Where did Yuan Shao's face go?
What kind of face do you have to face the elders of Hebei?
Zhang He didn't dare to anger Yuan Shao, and Guo Tufengji and others also didn't dare to persuade.
Although Yuan Shao was reluctant to withdraw to Hebei, he didn't know what to do for a while, so he could only order the army to camp in Baimadu and rest on the spot.
At nightfall, 50,000 troops encamped on White Horse.
The fall of Xudu and the news of the loss of Luoyang have spread throughout the army, and everyone is panicked.
Inside the tent of the Chinese army.
Yuan Shao once again convened all the advisers to discuss countermeasures.
Guo Tu, Feng Ji and other strategists were silent, and no one was silent.
When Yuan Shao was about to get angry, the guards came to report, claiming that the second son, Yuan Xi, had led his troops and horses across the river and had entered Baimadu.
Yuan Shao perked up and said busily: "Quick, pass on Xi'er!"
Previously, Wancheng was defeated, and Yuan Shao sent back a military order to Hebei, ordering his second son Yuan Xi to transfer soldiers and horses from various counties in Hebei to come to Xudu for reinforcements.
After a series of bad news, he finally heard a piece of good news, which lifted his spirits a little.
Not long after, Yuan Xi, who was dressed in armor, entered the account, followed by a young scribe.
"Son to meet Father!"
Yuan Xi stepped forward to see.
"Okay, Xi'er, you've worked hard all the way. "
Yuan Shao personally stepped forward to help him up, stroked his shoulder and asked with a smile: "Xi'er, how many soldiers and horses did you bring this time?" "
"Back to my father. "
"Er has transferred nearly 17,000 soldiers from Jiyou Erzhou, plus 2,000 cavalry!"
Yuan Shao's spirit was inspired.
17,000 infantry troops, 2,000 cavalry, this was naturally insignificant in the past.
But for Yuan Shao now, these soldiers and horses are like sending charcoal in the snow.
"'Okay, Xi'er, you're really here!'
Yuan Shao had a rare smile on his face, personally took his son's hand and sat down, and poured him a glass of wine.
Yuan Xi, who is usually not welcomed, is rarely so kind and pleasant to be by Yuan Shao, and he was suddenly a little flattered.
At that moment, Yuan Xi inquired about the war in Henan.
Yuan Shao sighed, ashamed to speak, and could only glance at Guo Tu.
Guo Tu could only lose Xu Du and explain the fiasco of being killed, and silently talked to Yuan Xi.
"Xu Du was actually breached?"
"Even Frustration was killed?"
"Then Liu Bei is so strong?"
Yuan Xi gasped, a series of surprise questions, his eyes full of disbelief.
Yuan Shao snorted coldly: "It's not that big-eared thief who is strong, it's that he is lucky and has a military advisor who is as wise as a god!"
"The person my father is referring to is the rumored Xiao Yuan, the world's number one strategist?"
"Who else but him. "
Yuan Xi's body was shocked again, and he exclaimed: "This Xiao Yuan, his wisdom is really so strong, (amazing) In this world, there are really such gods?"
"But fortunately, you brought 20,000 cavalry soldiers in time. "
Yuan Shao looked at the strategists and waved his hand:
"Our army has added 20,000 fresh troops, and the strength has been restored, so now we can talk about how to use the troops next. "
Guo Tufengji and the others looked at each other, but no one said anything.
More than 100,000 troops, all of whom were beaten by Liu Bei, added a mere 20,000 soldiers and horses, and wanted to turn things around?
How can it be so easy to occupy!
Whether it is Guo Tu or Feng Ji, none of the strategists of the Yuan family present have this confidence.
Looking at the silent strategists, Yuan Shao's brows condensed again, and he finally couldn't help but ask.
"My lord, I have a plan, maybe I can save the defeat. "
In the silence, someone suddenly spoke.
Everyone looked at each other, and their eyes fell on the young scribe who had come with Yuan Xi in the corner.
"Who are you?"
Yuan Shao stared at the familiar face and asked.
The young scribe stood up and calmly arched his hand: "Subordinate Sima Yi, meet the lord!"
