The most powerful general in the Three Kingdoms

In June of the year 201, Cai Mao chose to abandon the city.

In fact, Zhuge Liang's tips, like the medicine prescribed by a doctor, can save Cai Mao in times of crisis.

As long as you are rescued once, there is no need to use the next tip bag.

However, Zhuge Liang had never fought against the Zhou army and did not know how powerful the Zhou army was.

At the same time, Zhuge Liang did not have a head-on confrontation with Jia Xu and others, so he did not know what Jia Xu and others could do.

At the moment, Zhuge Liang persuades Cai Hao to abandon the city as soon as possible, which is not too bad.

Although Yuan Shu would be deceived, if Zhou Cheng continued to attack and the city was broken, Cai Hao would not be able to escape.

Retreating can preserve the troops, and only with strength can we organize the next counterattack.

……

Cai Mao wanted to escape, so Zhou Cheng would not let them go easily.

Zhou Cheng sent out cavalry to pursue them all the way.

While Cai Mao led his army to flee all the way, he also divided his troops to intercept them.

It was not until Zhou Jun stopped pursuing that Cai Mao felt that he had survived a desperate situation.

This made Cai Mao realize the horror of becoming an enemy of Zhou.

The news of Cai Mao's withdrawal reached Yuan Shu a few days later.

"Cai Degui withdrew his troops!"

When Yuan Shu heard this, he was furious and shocked. If

Cai Mao retreated at this time, then Zhou Cheng would definitely lead his army to attack him.

In this way, Yuan Shu would have no advantage in military strength.

At this time, Yang Hong stood up and said:"My lord, Zhou Cheng The thief will arrive in Dingtao soon. My lord, we need to retreat to Xuzhou quickly. Yuan

Huan also stood up and said,"My lord, you can't. If my lord retreats to Xuzhou, General Ji Ling and his 100,000 troops and horses will be left alone in Puyang City, becoming a lone army.""

Yuan Huan was born in the"Yuan family of Chen County", and his father Yuan Pang was promoted to Situ.

Historically, the county governor appointed Yuan Huan to the post of meritorious officer. After hearing the news, the officials in the county who were corrupt and violated the law all left voluntarily.

Later. He was conquered by the government, promoted to a high rank, and appointed as the magistrate of Qiao County, but he did not take up the post. When Liu Bei was appointed as the pastor of Yuzhou, he recommended Yuan Huan as the most talented person. Later, Yuan Huan took refuge between the Jianghuai River and was appointed by Yuan Shu..

Every time Yuan Shu consulted Yuan Huan, Yuan Huan always expounded his opinions in an upright manner. Yuan Shu could not refute, but he still respected him and did not dare not to treat him with courtesy.

At this time, Yan Xiang, Yang Hong and others They all wanted to flee back to Yangzhou.

They didn't dare to continue admonishing them at this time.

Only Yuan Huan dared to speak.

Yuan Shu felt quite hurt when he saw Yuan Huan.

He knew that what Yuan Huan said was reasonable, and he also knew that Ji The importance of spirit and 100,000 Yuan troops.

These 100,000 Yuan troops are elite troops.

If they are lost, Yuan Shu will be severely damaged. When facing Zhou Cheng in the future, he will not be able to regain the lost ground, and he may always be passive in subsequent conflicts..

But, what can we do?

Yuan Shu is also helpless.

Cai Mao ran away at this time, which made Yuan Shu miserable.

Yuan Shu waved his hand and said:"Return to Xuzhou first, and we will consider the long term.

Yuan Huan stood up and said,"My lord, you absolutely must not do this!""

Yuan Shu said:"I have already made a decision on this matter, Gong Xi doesn't need to say anything."

……

In June 201 AD, shortly after Cai Mao abandoned the city, Yuan Shu also chose to abandon Dingtao.

Zhao Yun and Zhang He led their cavalry to pursue them for some distance.

It was not until Yuan Shu's army completely retreated to Xuzhou that Zhao Yun and Zhang He stopped their pursuit.

Not long after, Zhou Cheng led an army and stationed in Dingtao.

As Yuan Shu and Cai Mao withdrew their troops one after another.

In Yanzhou, only Zhang Miao, Zhang Chao and other rabble were left, as well as the 100,000 Yuan troops in Puyang City.

However, these 100,000 Yuan troops now want to abandon the city and flee. Unless Zhang Liao is defeated, there are still 50,000 Zhou troops.

……

July 201 AD.

Zhou Cheng joined forces with Zhao Yun and Zhang He.

Zhou Cheng continued to move his army southward and continued to attack Xuzhou.

On the official roads in Xuzhou, people with their families can be seen everywhere.

Ox carts and horse-drawn carriages formed a long queue.

In the process, there were often strong men who rode on horseback to plunder.

There are even Yellow Turbans whose heads are wrapped in yellow cloth and claim to be the Yellow Turban Resurrection.

All parts of Xuzhou are in turmoil.

However, Ma Chao and Xu Huang continued to harass the grain roads, resulting in the grain and grass from Yangzhou and Yuzhou not being transported to Xuzhou City on time and in quantity.

Although Yuan Shu retreated to Xuzhou City, he had no food and only tens of thousands of troops and horses.

How can we resist Zhou Cheng's army?

Yuan Shu wanted to withdraw his troops again.

At this time, Chen Gui admonished Yuan Shu and said:"Mr. Yuan, although the Zhou thieves are powerful, the people's hearts are all towards Yuan Gong. Just like Sun Wentai in the past, Yuan Gong can temporarily retreat to Huainan and wait for the Zhou thieves to return to the north. , civil strife broke out in Xuzhou, and a certain person was running around contacting and hoping that Mr. Yuan would return to Xuzhou."

Chen Gui's words made Yuan Shu sound quite comforted.

Loyal!

Yuan Shu looked at Chen Gui and his son, and said:"Forget it, just follow Han Yu's words, and he will retreat soon. Han Yu will stay in Xuzhou, so you need to be more careful."
