Two days after Zhang Liao's destruction, on the fourth day of the September 20th.

After getting the latest military information, Yuan Shao finally had to admit painfully that his situation was hopeless and all the ways were collapsed.

If you open the perspective of God, it is not difficult to find that when the full attack was launched three months ago, Yuan Shao's camp claimed to have used a total of 300,000 troops, and now only 110,000 troops stationed in Hanoi, and 30,000 people who lived in a corner and were isolated from the main battlefield, totaling 140,000.

Only more than half of the troops were gone. The Yuan army in Hanoi seemed to be well preserved, but in fact it was hard to support it, so we had to consider retreating.

Moreover, everyone knows Yuan Shao's temper, so the one who came to Yuan Shao to report bad news and military information that day was relatively loyal to the comments.

Xu You didn't want to show his face at this time, but Ju Su was not suitable - Ju Su was afraid that after he appeared on such an occasion, Yuan Shao was furious and no longer listened to his subsequent withdrawal plan.

After all, he had tried to save Yuan Shao's army, and he used Xinpi's advice to persuade Yuan Shao to join forces. But in the end, the facts proved that his plan was not stable. More importantly, the information he relied on when making decisions was very wrong, which made an irreversible big mistake.

Ju Su felt aggrieved from beginning to end when Zhang Liao and Wen Chou was surrounded and annihilated. He felt that his decision was based on the best choice of intelligence at that time. If he didn't do this, Yuan Shao would not win, but he just died in another way.

However, the intelligence error was wrong and he was deceived by Li Su and Zhuge Liang's master and apprentice, and interfered with the staff in the rear. This was really not something that the staff officers could change their fate against the will of heaven.

However, Yuan Shao's temper doesn't care who is responsible. Because after listening to the strategy of the strategist, he was defeated in the end, and the strategist should be responsible.

Only Xin Ping has never served as a military officer, so even if he loses trust because he reports bad news, it is not harmful.

Xin Ping himself knew this and took on this responsibility and told Yuan Shaohepan all the bad news:

"Lord! What's wrong is that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei-Ma Chao work together to destroy Wei Xu in the past five or six days, and Zhang and Liao armies have been divided and annihilated more than 80,000 of our army in just a few days.

Now, Guan Yu's troops may have gathered along Qinshui to Shimen Xing again, and after a little rest, they can turn to a new offensive. Although Zhang Fei and Ma Chao are far away from the front battlefield in Hanoi, we have no idea when they will arrive - perhaps they will appear at any time in a few days.

The news of Wei Yue's destruction was sent by Lu Bu, so he walked on the road for a few more days and arrived last night. He felt that there were only more than 20,000 people who suffered additional losses, so he did not disturb the lord's police's sleep.

The news of General Zhang Liao's destruction was that the sporadic defeated soldiers who accidentally climbed the mountain and crossed the Kongcangling to escape and returned after all the hardships. For the sake of the present plan, the only way is to ask the lord to make a decision quickly!"

The bad news came one after another, which made Yuan Shao feel breathless.

It is obvious that after Liu Bei's camp completely destroyed Wei Xu and Zhang Liao's two troops, they had already made a move to turn into a full-scale counterattack.

After Guan Yu and Xu Huang joined forces, there were at least 60,000 to 80,000 people on the front, which was able to compete with Yuan Shao's frontal main force. The reason why the data was not very accurate is that Yuan Shao's side could not grasp the exact casualties and losses of Guan Yu.

Guan Yu was originally staying in Anyi. If the number of people who Wenxi was suppressing him, the total force of Guan Yu's attack on Qinshui would definitely exceed 80,000, or even 90,000.

Zhang Fei and Ma Chao surrounded him again, and there were 40,000 to 50,000 people. The total combat force of Liu Bei's camp will reach between 130,000 and 140,000. Where can Yuan Shao have a way out?

Yuan Shao was stunned for a while, unwilling to accept it, and his first reaction was to vent his heart first. He angrily scolded Xin Comment: "It's all your brother Xinpi, why did you offer Zhang Liaowen Chou's worst strategy to attack Guan Yu in the old way of Guanglang Valley, resulting in such a defeat!

Xinpiyu also said, "It is not easy to deploy more than 100,000 soldiers, but it takes only manpower." Even if it takes only manpower in Hanoi, it is better than being surrounded for more than 40 days now, and cannot be rescued, and it will eventually be wiped out!"

Xin Ping was speechless for a moment. He was unwilling to betray Ju Su, and he still refused to say that Xin Pi's plan was Ju Su's help.

Moreover, Xin Ping had a simple thought: the plan seemed to have hope, and Ju Su gave the credit to Xin Pi, which shows that Ju Su was righteous. He could not repay his grievances with kindness. When others gave the credit, you accepted it, and you pushed it over after the plan was miscalculated. So what credit can you have in life?

A man cannot stand without faith.

Xin Ping was scolded, but without explanation, and retreated awkwardly.

After Yuan Shao vented, he felt a little better, so he summoned Xu You again. If it really didn't work, he finally summoned Ju Su and asked what he would do if he had done this.

Of course, he couldn't help but blame Xu You. It was all you guy who advised me to turn to the general to take the initiative to attack.

Xu You had nothing to say. After all, he had to take the blame for the misjudgment of false information. Ju Su pointed out at the beginning that it might be a temptation to the enemy. Xu You said with certainty that the enemy was the empty force on the northern front.

Even if Ju Su later used Xinpi to offer advice on how to attack in detail, he was a follow-up deduction made on the premise that he had to admit the accuracy of the information.

After Xu You was scolded, he was still arrogant and dissatisfied with something. He wanted to shirk responsibility in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it, but he just had to ask Yuan Shao to retreat quickly.

"Lord, my subordinates are incompetent. I dare not escape after I go back. But for the sake of the current plan, I should retreat quickly for the sake of the army. Since Zhang Liao has been destroyed, Zhang Fei and Ma Chao can definitely go back to Guanglang Valley, arrive at Shangdang and follow the Dan River and attack the Ye Wang again.

If there are any troops stationed in the west of the Yewang, they will definitely be surrounded by Guan Yu from Qinshui and Zhang from Danshui, the horses from the horses, who are in turn, and they will be afraid that they will not be able to leave at that time."

Ju Su also agreed to retreat, but he hurriedly thought about it more details and added: "Although the troops were to be withdrawn, the two places in Shimen Xing and Zhuguan Xing still had to leave elite cavalry to block the entrance.

At the same time, we must continue to set up flags in these camps that are blocking the mouth, and reduce troops every day without reducing the stove, thinking that the soldiers are confused. Once the main force of our infantry retreats, the cavalry that is blocking the mouth can follow at night, and Guan Yu will definitely not be able to catch up.

This also prevents our army from withdrawing, Guan Yu's troops blocked in Shimen Xing immediately broke out of Taihang Valley and bit our army's rear army, causing our army to slow down. After all, Guan Yu is close and Zhang is far away, so we should not be careful not to be on guard against the situation."

Although Yuan Shao didn't trust Ju Su very much, he knew at least that he could see whether there was any rules for daily marching and dispatching. Ju Su was indeed steadfast in this method, so he approved it.

On the same day, the troops began to divide the troops, and the infantry from Qinshui Camp took the lead in returning eastward. The next day, the troops in Lianyewang County and Wen County also began to move. However, the troops in Shimen Xing and Zhuguan Xing did not move.

Yuan Shao originally had some doubts about Ju Su's loyalty, but seeing him being so diligent, he was not impatient and complained when demoted before, and was a little soft-hearted. Now, seeing that Ju Su offered his advice and made him impartial, he was asked to restore some of his military supervisors to supervise the troops who were responsible for supervising the rear and preventing the pursuit.

In the end, Ju Su personally led a small number of troops to block Shimen Xing, and Qu Yi, who was also unpopular, was also punished to block Guan Xu to prevent Guan Yu from entering the Hanoi Plain in Anyi.

Others, including a group of strategists, Zhang He, Gao Lan and many other generals, all retreated with Yuan Shao.

...

Yuan Shao's retreat was quite decisive, which completely avoided dragging him to Zhang Fei to the front battlefield in Hanoi.

However, because Ma Chao's part of his men and horses were mainly cavalry and were fast enough, even if Yuan Shao retreated immediately, he might have a chance to fight the pursuit battle in the final stage of cleaning.

Yuan Shao himself set off on September 5th, retreated to Yewang on the sixth day of the day, stationed in the city and slept overnight, and continued to retreat eastward to Huai County on the seventh day of the day. The army did not have any accidents during the first two days of maneuvering, and it seemed that everything was safe.

However, the problem of Yuan Shao's camp being disunited and strategists like to take credit for merit was exposed at this time, and it gave Yuan Jun a negative impact that was difficult to assess.

It turned out that Yuan Shao returned to the Wild Queen and finally breathed a sigh of relief. Before resting that night, he drank some wine to relieve his fatigue, and also summoned some favored advisers to please and chat and comfort him.

Originally, if it was a month ago, Guo Tu and Xin Pi could attend such occasions - Guo Tu was always flattering and had a deep experience, while Xin Pi was favored after helping Ju Su to give advice.

But now, because Zhang Liao and Wen Chou were attacked by the Shangdang, the strategy of attacking Zhang Liao and Wen Chou was proved to be a bad game, Xin Pi was obviously completely out of favor. Not only did Yuan Shao play a drink and relieve his troubles, but Xin Pi was criticized and abused for his daily food, clothing, housing and daily entertainment for all the counselors after arriving at Yewang City.

Xinpi couldn't eat bran, bran, and could not bear the days without wine and meat and sleep in straw shops. He was also a person who could tolerate and pretend in material terms.

However, Xinpi was still a little resentful about Yuan Shao's complete distrust and rejecting him, and was eager to save himself.

His brother Xin Ping had always warned him to be loyal and righteous in life. Before, Ju Su gave his credit to their brothers for their sake, but now he has failed his plan and cannot betray his friends.

Xin Pi also wanted to listen to his brother's words at first and be a kind person. Unfortunately, he couldn't stand it when he was run by Yuan Shao's cold reception. He quickly found an opportunity to ask for a relationship and even gave Guo Tu good things, so he asked Guo Tu to give him a chance to see Yuan Shao again.

Of course, Guo Tu was unwilling to offend Yuan Shao and wade into such a muddy waters, but Xin Pi explained the truth to Guo Tu, saying that his worst strategy came from Ju Su. After Guo Tu learned about what Xin Pi wanted to complain, he was willing to help out.

After all, Ju Su is so annoying. He was the most trusted by the lord before. Any adviser who had a little bit of ambiguous thoughts hoped to overthrow Ju Su and make things difficult for Ju Su.

Moreover, Guo Tu was originally from Yingchuan and had a grudge against Jizhou faction like Ju Shu. So he took advantage of Yuan Shao's drunkenness and was careful to make Yuan Shao happy first, and then cleverly spoke and gave Xin Pi a chance to defend himself.

Yuan Shao felt a little relieved, and asked Xinpi to come in and cursed: "Ignorance man! I still have the face to see me!"

Xinpi knelt down and told him: "Lord, forgive me for my crime. My subordinates have no talent to plan such a large army and military operation. My subordinates were inspired by the military supervision before. They thought he was devoted to the country, but they were worried that his lord was suspicious and ignorant. They thought that his plan was indeed feasible, so they helped him modify it and advised him..."

Then there were a bunch of arguments that took away his responsibilities. He was very eloquent, which made Yuan Shao's anger against him 70% or 80% .

Yuan Shao became more and more angry as he listened: "Ju Su misled Gu! Gu was so stupid that he was the thief who was foolish and frivolous, easily retreated, and injured the barbarians and broke into pieces, and lost his master and disciple several times! He was sent to the general order and immediately sent someone back to Qinshui tomorrow to take Ju Su down and replace him with the commander who supervised the army behind him!

Otherwise, the lonely army would be sold by Ju Su sooner or later. Maybe he would have thought about posing as the name of the orphan queen, but in fact he would immediately release Guan Yu from the Taihang Mountains!

Ju Su was so scheming. He was afraid that others would block the plan to cut off the rear, so he pretended to make plans in person. He also took advantage of Gu's trust for a moment and found this opportunity to be responsible for the rear, so he could collude and make trouble in chaos."
