On the one hand, Yuan Shao led his soldiers to retreat, and on the other hand, he asked Xu You to send soldiers to convey the news of the retreat to Cao Cao.
Gongsun Zan attacked Jizhou, giving Yuan Shao enough reason to withdraw to Jizhou.
When Yuan Shao led his troops to retreat to Jizhou, Jia Xu and Li Ru had already begun to clean up the mess. The army pursued them for most of the night and captured countless soldiers.
All the prisoners were taken back to Jingyang County and imprisoned.
Li Ru and Jia Xu also led their troops into the city and asked their soldiers to stay in the county to rest and recuperate.
In the county hall, no county magistrate was seen. Although Li Ru and Jia Xu were not magistrates of Jingyang County, Wang Can controlled Guanzhong, so Li Ru and Jia Xu naturally occupied the magpie's nest and threw the magistrates of Jingyang County into the
While they were resting, the two of them sat grandly in the county hall.
Below, four people, Zhou Cang, Xu Rong, Huang Zhong and Dianman, were sitting.
Li Ru asked: "General Huang, have you calculated the number of prisoners?"
Huang Zhong nodded and said: "We have already calculated the statistics. Excluding the burned corpses, we have captured more than 25,000 soldiers. These prisoners have been detained separately to prevent them from joining forces to rebel."
Jia Xu then asked: "General Xu, what are the losses of our army?"
Xu Rong said: "Mr. Jia, our army's losses were not large, but including the soldiers who were chased and killed by Yuan's army during the retreat, we also lost as many as 6,000 people. We had more than 20,000 soldiers at the beginning.
At present, there are only more than 14,000 people left. As for the broken military camp, only a dozen soldiers were injured, so the impact is not big."
Jia Xu nodded and said: "By defeating Yuan Shao, we have completed the task of resisting Yuan Shao. However, the more than 20,000 captured soldiers must be treated with caution. Even if these soldiers are dispersed and reorganized into the soldiers, the proportion occupied by Yuan's army is too large.
, once the soldiers of the Yuan army get together, they will easily mutiny."
Xu Rong asked: "Mr. Jia, do you have any clever ideas?"
Jia Xuxiao said: "There is no clever strategy, but there is still a stupid way. Let's keep 10,000 prisoners, integrate 10,000 into the army, and then send soldiers to send the remaining 10,000 prisoners to Chang'an."
, let Gao Shun be dispersed and incorporated into the army."
After hearing this, several people nodded in agreement.
Ten thousand people were incorporated into the army, which was enough to prevent these prisoners from joining forces. As for the remaining more than 10,000 prisoners, all being sent to Chang'an would also prevent them from rebelling.
"Tap! Tread!"
Outside the hall, a rush of footsteps sounded.
The scout responsible for investigating the news quickly ran into the hall, clasped his fists and said, "Report, Yuan Shao has withdrawn his troops and returned to Jizhou."
Li Ru raised his eyebrows with a puzzled look on his face. After the army defeated Yuan Shao, he and Jia Xu discussed it and finally decided to station in Jingyang County to prevent Yuan Shao from raiding.
However, when Yuan Shao withdrew to Jizhou, the situation changed again.
As long as Yuan Shao's army leaves, Li Ru and Jia Xu can lead their troops back to Chang'an and send troops to support Guo Jia. Without Yuan Shao as a reinforcement, Cao Cao is unable to support himself. He may also withdraw his troops and return to Yanzhou. After all, it is only Cao Cao who wants to defeat
Wang Can, it is almost impossible.
Li Ru hurriedly asked: "Is the news confirmed about Yuan Shao's withdrawal from Jizhou?"
The scout nodded and said: "We captured a soldier of Yuan's army and interrogated him and found out that Yuan Shao withdrew to Jizhou. The news is true."
"Hoo! Hoo!"
Jia Xu took a long breath and said: "With Yuan Shao's vengeful character, he is definitely not willing to withdraw his troops. Now that the news of Yuan Shao's withdrawal to Jizhou is familiar, it may be that there is a problem in Jizhou. I guess it is Gongsun Zan who is trying to make a move in Youzhou, so Yuan Shao
Hurry back to Jizhou!"
Dianman curled his lips and said: "Even if Yuan Shao stays, we can defeat Yuan Shao. Yan Liang and Wen Chou are both killed. Yuan Shao is a tiger with his teeth pulled out and can no longer be arrogant."
Zhou Cang said in a deep voice: "No matter what, it is a good thing for Yuan Shao to withdraw his troops."
After a pause, Zhou Cang continued: "Master Li, when we led the troops to pursue Yuan Jun last night, the soldiers encountered a prison car, and Yuan Shao's counselor Tian Feng was imprisoned in the car. How should we deal with this man?"
Li Ru said: "Leave Tian Feng to me and Wen He to see if we can persuade Tian Feng to surrender."
Jia Xu then said: "Yuan Shao withdraws his troops, and we can also withdraw our troops."
After a pause, Jia Xu ordered: "General Huang, take Xu Rong, Dianman and Zhou Cang to rectify the soldiers and let them recover as soon as possible. We will rest in Jingyang County for two days and then return to Chang'an." Two days.
Not only can the soldiers rest and recuperate, but they can also continue to investigate Yuan Shao's movements to determine whether Yuan Shao has really withdrawn to Jizhou.
Huang Zhong and the others clasped their fists and agreed, then turned and left the hall.
After the four people left, Li Ru immediately ordered the soldiers to bring Tian Feng to the hall. Not long after, an unkempt middle-aged man walked in.
The middle-aged man is none other than Tian Feng.
Tian Feng walked into the hall with his head held high, but the soldiers who escorted Tian Feng in turned around and left.
Jia Xu and Li Ru looked around and saw that Tian Feng's hair was disheveled and he looked tired. Although he held his head high and held his head high, his steps seemed a little frivolous when he walked, and his body felt light and airy. However, Tian Feng's eyes were still bright.
Youshen looks particularly fierce.
After he entered the living room, he ignored Jia Xu and Li Ru and sat down directly.
Li Ru asked: "Mr. Tian, Yuan Shao doesn't listen to loyal advice. He is not a wise master of Mr. Tian and cannot use his talents. My lord Wang Can is a wise and resolute man with great ambitions. I wonder if Mr. Tian is willing to submit to my lord?"
When talking to Tian Feng, Li Ru didn't say anything false and went straight to the point.
Tian Feng's voice was a little hoarse, and he said in a deep voice: "Yuan Shao is indeed stupid. If he had adopted my advice, fought steadily, and approached Chang'an step by step, how could he have been defeated like this." For Yuan Shao, Tian Feng was already disappointed.
It was so surprising, because Yuan Shao actually left him on the battlefield, apparently leaving him to fend for himself.
In fact, Tian Feng already knew his fate when he was imprisoned.
If Yuan Shao defeated Li Ru and Jia Xu, Yuan Shao would definitely not kill him. Instead, he would regard Tian Feng as a negative example and let everyone remember Tian Feng.
However, once Yuan Shao was defeated, Tian Feng would definitely die.
Yuan Shao was so proud that he could not face up to his failure and could not bow his head and admit his mistakes. Moreover, Yuan Shao was not willing to face a direct minister like Tian Feng and would definitely kill Tian Feng. When Yuan Shao left, he asked Guo Tu to deal with Tian Feng.
Perhaps Guo Tu intentionally spared Tian Feng's life and left Tian Feng on the battlefield instead of killing Tian Feng directly.
Jia Xu said calmly: "Tian Feng, success or failure has been decided. You know Yuan Shao's character. Yuan Shao's failure is also destined to happen. It's useless to say more!"
"Hahaha……"
Tian Feng suddenly burst into laughter and said, "Well said, it hits the nail on the head! Yuan Shao's character has already doomed him to failure. It is difficult for Yuan Shao to achieve great things because I am too demanding." After a pause, Tian Feng said: "
Although I was abandoned by Yuan Shao, I am still a minister of the Yuan family. These two are extremely talented, so I won’t say much, just give me a good time!",
After saying that, Tian Feng held his head high and determined to die.
Li Ru said: "Mr. Tian, a good bird chooses a tree to roost, and a good minister chooses his master to serve. You have great talent, but Yuan Shao cannot use your strategy. This is Yuan Shao's loss. Why do you insist on dying for Yuan Shao?"
Tian Feng shook his head and did not explain.
Seeing this, Jia Xu shouted loudly: "Here comes someone!"
Suddenly, a soldier ran in quickly.
Li Ru saw the soldiers running in, looked at Jia Xu in confusion, and asked, "Wen He, what are you doing? Tian Feng has great talent, and when the Lord is hiring people, Tian Feng can't kill him." Regardless of Li, Tian Feng is very talented.
What did Ru think, but Tian Feng himself breathed a sigh of relief. He was killed like this, and it was settled, and there was no more entanglement.
Jia Xu smiled and said: "Leave Tian Feng here and take good care of him. If something happens to Tian Feng, you are the only one to ask!"
The soldiers responded with clasped fists, preparing to take Tian Feng down.
