Chapter 364
Yuan Shao, Ju Su and others were always guarding the city wall. When they saw the fire in front of them soaring into the sky, Yuan Shao thought Yan Liang had succeeded.
But when they were waiting for less than a thousand remaining soldiers, Yuan Shao's eyes were full of anger when these remaining soldiers appeared at the city.
Even though he knew that it was possible to fail, he had great expectations tonight and wanted to break through Zhao Hui's military camp in one fell swoop.
"Lord, General Yan Liang has not come back and seems to have been captured." Ju Su had learned about the basic situation of the war from the remaining soldiers.
When these remnants ran away, no one paid attention to Yan Liang at the end, but in the chaos, they still heard the sound of Yan Liang being captured.
Everyone was panicked and knew what kind of punishment they would face.
Some people ran away on the way back and did not follow them to Changshan County.
Yuan Shao said: "Let them come in tomorrow morning."
After saying that, he walked down the city.
It was pitch black outside. Yuan Shao didn't know if Zhao Hui's men would suddenly follow him in now.
Under normal circumstances, the city gate will not be opened at night.
The remaining soldiers who escaped could only rest under the city walls. People kept making wailing and inhaling sounds.
Almost all of these remnants were injured.
Some were injured by arrows, while others were too panic when they escaped and fell on the road.
After they escaped from the camp, Zhao Hui did not send anyone to pursue him.
As for the same sentence, Zhao Hui doesn't need to take risks.
The camp was filled with fire, but it was pitch black outside.
Zhao Hui didn't know if Yuan Shao was prepared. There might be an ambush outside, so he was waiting for Zhao Hui to send someone to pursue him.
Yan Liang was arrested, and less than 1,000 people fled, which was enough to attack Yuan Jun.
Zhao Hui was still a little hesitant about Yan Liang's choice.
Guo Tu suggested that Zhao Hui let Yan Liang go. But he only said the best possibility for Zhao Hui.
It was Yan Liang who was excluded and turned to Zhao Hui.
But there is another possibility. Yan Liang was suspected by Yuan Shao, but he still chose to stay with Yuan Shao, hoping to regain Yuan Shao's trust. Or he chose to leave Yuan Shao, but he did not choose to defect to Zhao Hui.
There is a third possibility. Yuan Shao did not doubt Yan Liang and continued to reuse Yan Liang. This result was undoubtedly the most unfavorable to Zhao Hui.
Guo Tu knew very well that he was here and he just made this suggestion. How to choose depends on Zhao Hui, and he didn't say anything more.
After Guo Tu made this suggestion and planning, he took the initiative to retreat.
If Yan Liang eventually surrendered to Zhao Hui, then he would at least initially gain Zhao Hui's trust.
But if Yan Liang continues to be loyal to Yuan Shao after letting Yan Liang go, then Guo Tu's life here will be even more difficult.
Zhao Hui was discussing with Guo Jia and Xu Shu whether to let Yan Liang go.
Several results have been analyzed for Zhao Hui.
It depends on the worst result, whether Zhao Hui can accept it.
"Since you can catch him once, you can catch him a second time." Zhao Hui said: "Let him go back."
Zhao Hui has decided, but there are several choices no matter how to put it.
Should I take the initiative to let go or deliberately neglect to let Yan Liang escape.
Two different choices may have completely different results.
Zhao Hui chose to let Yan Liang go back directly.
Zhao Hui believes that Yuan Shao’s suspicion will be greater than trust.
After dawn, Zhao Hui personally came to the place where Yan Liang was imprisoned.
"Yan Liang, are you really unwilling to surrender to me?" Zhao Hui asked again.
"If you want to kill, kill, don't waste any more trouble, don't let me surrender." After a night, Yan Liang did not change his decision.
Perhaps people have an emotion, the more they can’t get it, the more they want it.
No matter who is the lord, he likes loyal ministers who would rather die than surrender.
Yan Liang would rather die than surrender, and Zhao Hui wanted to conquer him more.
"I don't want to kill you with this skill, so you can leave yourself." Zhao Hui stepped forward and personally untied the rope on Yan Liang's body.
Yan Liang was stunned and said for a while: "You really want to let me go?"
"You go, after a while, I may change my mind."
Zhao Hui turned around and refused to look at Yan Liang.
He was not worried that Yan Liang would suddenly kill him behind his back.
Zhao Yundianwei was next to Zhao Hui, and Yan Liang had no weapons in his hands.
Yan Liang licked his lips, but the dripping water didn't enter all night, and his lips were very dry.
After looking at Dian Wei Zhaoyun, Yan Liang rushed out in an instant when he saw that they had no intention of stopping him.
The people outside had already received the order from Zhao Hui, and no one was going to stop Yan Liang.
Yan Liang walked through the military camp and ran out.
His armor and weapons were already hung on the war horses outside the camp.
Yan Liang saw his war horse at a glance, turned over and rode up, and ran towards the distance.
It disappeared in an instant.
Yuan Shao didn't sleep well that night.
Ten thousand people were almost wiped out, and the powerful general was even captured.
Yuan Shao had the idea of retreating.
It was dawn and the city gate opened. The remaining soldiers who had been resting under the city for a night dragged their injured bodies and helped each other into the city.
Just when most of the soldiers were about to enter the city, Yan Liang rode his war horse and ran to the city.
"General."
Everyone looked at Yan Liang with surprise.
Didn’t Yan Liang be captured? Why did he suddenly run back?
Yan Liang ignored the soldiers and rushed into the city and went directly to see Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao had already gotten up and was about to summon Ju Su and others when he received the news of Yan Liang's return, which made Yuan Shao unable to help but doubt.
It is almost inevitable that big names like Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are suspicious.
If they believed what others said, how could they have done such a big career that they would have been deceived and even lost their pants.
"Master!"
As soon as Yan Liang came in, he knelt in front of Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao stepped forward to help Yan Liang up and said carelessly: "I heard from the returning soldiers that you have been captured by Zhao Hui. Have you escaped?"
Yan Liang said: "Yan Liang was ashamed of his lord. Not only did he fail to attack last night, he was also caught. Zhao Hui wanted me to surrender to him, but I refused. Then he asked Guo Tu to convince me. I spitted a mouthful of phlegm on Guo Tu's face and locked me up all night. Then in the morning, when Zhao Hui saw that I would rather die than surrender, he said he would not give up and kill me, so he let me go."
Yan Liang told all the things that happened this night.
"It's good to come back, it's good to come back."
Yuan Shao said that when he saw the wound on Yan Liang's body, he immediately sent Yan Liang to rest, and at the same time, he asked someone to treat Yan Liang's wound.
Yan Liang was sent down, but Yuan Shao didn't feel like he didn't care on the surface.
Why did Zhao Hui let Yan Liang come back?
If Yuan Shao doesn't understand the reason behind it, he won't be at ease.
Yuan Shao used himself to judge others.
If he captured Dian Wei or Zhao Yun, he would never let Dian Wei and Zhao Yun go back.
