****** Dear readers, the trivial matters have been completed. Starting from today, we will resume two updates per day.
The next morning, Xu You stood on top of the city early, looking longingly at Lin Jun's camp.
Yesterday, Lin's army was rare and did not attack the city. Apparently, it encountered a problem that was not easy to solve.
Xu You believes that if Lin's army withdraws on a large scale today, there must be a strong enemy invasion, it is nothing more than an invasion by one or more of the princes such as Gongsun Zan, Cao Cao, Tao Qian, etc.
If Lin's army does not withdraw or attack the city today and adopts a wait-and-see attitude, then it is most likely that Cao Cao adopted the suggestion in Xu You's letter and sent his army to attack Pingyuan City. Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was frightened and left the city. His whereabouts are still unknown. Lin Feng is
Waiting for news from other counties.
Of course, if Lin's army continues to attack the city after eating and drinking, then what Xu You is most worried about will happen. Yuan Shao of Gaoyang will probably abandon the city and escape. At present, only Xu You's Wuyuan City in the entire Hejian County is still resisting Lin.
military.
Once the third situation occurs, Xu You can only run to the dark side and defend Wuyuan City with all his strength. If he can hold on for one more day, he will survive for one more day, and he will just wait for the city to be destroyed and die for the city.
It has to be said that Xu You's ability to add drama to himself is not small. If Lin Feng outside the city knew about his inner activities, he would have to award him a statuette!
Movie king, this is it.
It's a pity that Lin Feng doesn't know.
He was busy bidding farewell to the generals. Qu Yi led his troops to Zhongshan alone. Gaoshun and Dianwei sent their troops north to attack Gaoyang.
In fact, Zhang He had already led his army to leave Shuzhou at this time and quickly moved closer to Lin Feng.
Hejian County must be pacified in the shortest time, so that he can be free to fight Gongsun Zan.
After seeing off the generals, Pei Yuanshao reluctantly directed the guard camp to pack up their belongings, set up camp and prepare to leave Wuyuan City.
Xu You was so excited that he looked up to the sky and roared with excitement, and two tears gurgled down his face.
It was not easy. Lin's army retreated and Wuyuan City was saved.
Xu You no longer took Yuan Shao seriously at this time. No matter what the reason was, when Wuyuan City was besieged and Xu You did not wait for Yuan Shao's reinforcements, Xu You had already decided to part ways with Yuan Shao and go their separate ways.
At the moment, Xu You just couldn't bear to part with the 10,000 soldiers and horses under his command. Otherwise, after the siege of Wuyuan City was lifted, he would have rushed to Chenliu as soon as possible with a simple carriage and a starry night.
Since Yuan Shao has lost the momentum to compete with the heroes, Xu You certainly will not hang himself from a tree.
Cao Cao and Xu You, who were under the control of the Young Emperor of the Han Dynasty, also had a close friendship, so it would be great to go to Chenliu.
Lin's army made no secret of their haste and marched out in less than half an hour, leaving countless unnecessary firewood and camp items outside Wuyuan City.
Xu You stood at the top of the city and watched the guards battalion whip away until they were completely out of sight.
A general came over and asked Xu You if he wanted to send someone out of the city to find out the news. Xu You pondered for a moment and then shook his head.
"Send an order to mobilize all the armies in the city and follow Lin's army at a distance. No battle is allowed without my order."
Although the general was a little confused, he still followed the order.
So less than half an hour after Lin Feng left, Xu You also led his army along Lin's marching route and fell far away.
Lin Feng and Guo Jia walked side by side.
"Fengxiao, do you think Xu You and Xu Ziyuan have the courage to follow?"
"My lord, why should I ask questions knowingly? Xu Ziyuan has already separated from Yuan Shao at this time. When he follows our army to the border of Zhongshan, if he does not fight with our army, he will definitely send his troops south and seize the road to kill Chenliucheng."
Lin Feng sighed: "Xu You is too stubborn and tends to be idealistic when thinking about things. Even if our army is really fighting with Gongsun Zan endlessly, does he think that with only 10,000 troops, he can forcefully break through the two counties of Qinghe and Yecheng?"
?"
With a smile on his face, Guo Jia pointed in the direction of Xu Youjun behind him and said: "If this were not the case, how could Xu Ziyuan stab the king and kill him twice? Fortunately, the late emperor had mercy, otherwise the Xu family would not even be able to save their ancestral graves."
After marching for half a day, Lin Feng ordered to set up camp on the spot and bury pots to make rice.
Xu You, who was not far away, suddenly felt a thump in his heart. It was broken. He might have fallen into a trap. Otherwise, there would be no reason to set up camp after half a day's march.
"The whole army stopped, the front army changed to the rear army, the rear army changed to the front army, and quickly returned to the city."
He thought too simply. The soldiers had been marching for half a day and were already exhausted. Xu You asked the soldiers not to dismount or unsaddle the horses, so he turned around and walked back. Suddenly more than half of the soldiers sat down on the ground and said something.
He also refused to get up.
Xu You was immediately furious and whipped up his riding crop to beat them one by one.
"You bastard, don't look at what time this is. If the enemy attacks at this time, will you be able to kill them if you hold your neck?"
There were nearly 10,000 troops in Wuyuan City, but in fact only one-third were Xu You's direct descendants. The remaining troops were all assigned by Yuan Shao to Xu You to guard Wuyuan City.
Xu You often beat and scolded him on weekdays, but the soldiers abided by military regulations and had to swallow his anger.
Wuyuan City had just been relieved from the siege. Before they could breathe a sigh of relief, they were driven out of the city by Xu You to chase Lin Jun.
The soldiers were already complaining and full of dissatisfaction, and Xu You tried to order them to run back to the city without food or water, which finally aroused public anger.
Unable to hold back his anger, the general stepped forward and said: "Commander Xu, since we had dinner in the morning, our army has been out of the city following Lin Jun's march. Now it's almost noon today. My brothers are thirsty and empty. No matter what, I have to let my brothers go."
Let’s eat some dry food and drink some water, shall we?”
Xu You whipped his whip and drew a purple-red blood mark on the general's face.
"Shut your mouth. I have never touched my teeth. Don't I know how hungry and thirsty I am? Lin Jun's retreat is just a tactic to lure the enemy. If he cannot return to the city as soon as possible, he will be ambushed. By then I will
It's hard to keep a soldier in fear."
From Xu You's point of view, what he said was not wrong.
But he underestimated the desires of human nature and overestimated his own prestige.
Not only did these scoldings fail to win over the soldiers' hearts, but because of the whip, they all felt the same hatred and hatred.
"Young official, you have been riding on your horse all day long. You don't know how hard it is for us to wait for the soldiers to travel. Why do you beat them!"
I don’t know who asked first, but then the voice got louder and louder, and more and more people agreed.
Xu You felt a little panicked. This situation was a precursor to a mutiny in the military camp. If it continued, the consequences would be disastrous.
"My officers and men, it's not because some of you don't know the hard work of marching. The situation is so urgent that we have to force everyone to return quickly, otherwise it will be too late."
Just when Xu You was trying to restore the morale of the army, suddenly the guns were blasting from behind, and a troop of soldiers and horses formed a mountainous formation. In the lead, a large banner fluttered in the wind, and a big word was written on it.
Zhang He from Red Flame Camp has arrived.
In the guard camp on the other side, the cannons were also lit. Pei Yuanshao, dressed neatly, urged his horse and turned his gun to the front of the two armies' formation.
Xu You was shocked and turned pale. He waved his riding whip and shouted repeatedly: "Line up to meet the enemy, line up to meet the enemy."
It was a pity that at this time, the morale of the army was so low that no one was willing to obey his orders.
A large number of soldiers threw down their weapons and sat on the roadside with their hands raised and kneeling in the field, waiting for Lin Jun to come and receive them with blank expressions.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Xu You tried his best to gather all his direct troops and horses, urging them to attack the Red Flame Camp.
Zhang He laughed three times on his horse and led his troops into battle in person.
At the same time, Pei Yuanshao rushed into the enemy formation on flying horse with a pale face, staring closely at Xu You.
Are you kidding me? It’s so easy to get a chance to kill an enemy and perform meritorious service in front of the lord. Who would have thought that Xu You, a bastard, would dare to run away towards Zhang He’s Chiyan Camp? Isn’t this a clear sign that he doesn’t want to give Master Pei face!
Don't leave, old boy. Uncle Pei will take credit for today's performance!
Zhang He raised his gun and picked out three Xu You generals, which immediately shocked Xu You's direct army. All the soldiers were like headless flies, running around, and no one dared to face the Red Flame Camp.
Xu You scolded him repeatedly, but with little effect. Except for a few members of the Xu family who were guarding him tremblingly, the rest only hated his parents for giving him two legs. They were crawling around like ducks in the mountains and fields. Seeing no way out.
To escape, they all knelt down and begged to surrender.
Xu You's army of nearly 10,000 people was mostly defeated in just one meal. There were only less than a hundred people left. They were tightly surrounded by Pei Yuanshao's troops and could not fly.
Pei Yuanshao proudly raised his chin towards Zhang He, who was slowly approaching with his horse's rein reined in. That means, this big fish is mine.
Zhang He didn't even think about competing with Pei Yuanshao for credit, so he just said hello to Pei Yuanshao, passed the battle group, and went directly to the commander's tent to report to Lin Feng.
Pei Yuanshao laughed loudly, urged his horse to charge into the enemy's formation, and with his big gun dancing like flying, he went straight towards Xu You.
