Chapter 125 Return to Yecheng

The news that Wuchao was burned reached Yuan Shao's ears after Wuchao's defeated troops fled to Guandu and were discovered by scouts.

After learning that Wuchao was burned, Yuan Shao angrily cursed several times, "Mother Xipi."

Apart from scolding Chunyu Qiong a few times, Yuan Shao could only become furious.

Soon, bursts of drum sounds came from Yuan's camp.

This is when Yuan Shao beats drums and gathers his generals to discuss countermeasures.

Soon, the civil servants and generals under Yuan Shao's command gathered together, and many people had already received the news.

Now, all the battalions saw the defeated troops from Wuchao, so everyone looked unhappy.

No one thought that the first battle in Guandu would take place in Wuchao.

Before the collapse of troops appeared on the front line, they appeared first on the rear.

Yuan Shao sat at the head of the Chinese army's tent. After looking around, he found that one person was missing.

Who is missing?

Xu You, Xu Ziyuan.

"Xu You?"

"Where is Xu You?" Yuan Shao asked the servants around him.

At this time, Feng Ji stood up and said to Yuan Shao: "Isn't Xu You banned by your lord? Without your order, he may not dare to leave the camp."

When Feng Ji said this, Yuan Shao immediately ordered the guards on his left and right to invite Xu You.

Not long after, the guard came back to report that Xu You was missing.

After learning that Xu You was missing, Tian Feng gritted his teeth and stood up and said to Yuan Shao: "My lord, I'm afraid Xu You has defected to Cao Cao!"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Shao's face became even more ugly.

However, now is not the time to pursue these matters.

It is a foregone conclusion that Xu You will defect to Cao Cao. For the current plan, we still need to properly handle all the aftermath matters.

"Wuchao was burned!"

"Everyone knows this news. Let's talk about any ideas you have!" Yuan Shao's face was so gloomy that he was about to drip with tears.

Yuan Shao's face was ugly, and so were the faces of the civil servants and generals under his command.

The faces of these people were as green as the others.

Now Yuan Shao is asking, who among these people can come up with a perfect plan?

Now that Wuchao has been burned, it is impossible to win this battle.

For the current plan, it would be good to have a few defeats.

"Why!"

"It's all this Chunyu Qiong's fault. I should have killed him with one sword when we were in Wuchao!" Ju Yi said through gritted teeth.

The problem is that it’s useless for Ju Yi to say this now!

"And Xu You, Mr. Yuan Hao should not have interceded for him in the first place." Gao Lan also said aloud.

For a time, the entire Chinese army tent was in a commotion, and everything was in chaos.

The problem is, even if these people are quarreling here, he can't come up with a solution to the problem!

"Pa!" Yuan Shao slammed the table angrily and shouted: "Hooting? You are just yelling here, can you make Cao Cao leave?"

"Method? I want a way to defeat the enemy?"

The way to defeat the enemy?

This really doesn't exist.

After the Wuchao fire was set ablaze, not only the food supply was gone, but Yuan Shao's military morale was also lost.

Wanting to win this battle is undoubtedly a fantasy.

At this moment, Yuan Shao's side was already at a disadvantage across the board.

Seeing Yuan Shao's anger, all of Yuan Shao's counselors acted like ostriches, shrunk their heads and stopped talking, and could not come up with a useful strategy.

As for those generals, there is even less hope for those generals. These generals can do nothing but yell.

In the Yuan camp, at this critical moment, Tian Feng must be counted on.

Tian Feng came out of the queue, cupped his hands towards Yuan Shaoyi and said: "My lord, at this time the army has less food and grass than it needs for seven days."

"It is no longer possible to win. For now, we just want to remain undefeated."

"Now, the most important thing for the lord to do is to return to Yecheng as soon as possible. By then, the lord will be in Yecheng, the eldest son Yuan Tan is in Qingzhou, and the second son Yuan Xi is in Youzhou. The three parties are horns with each other, and they will definitely be able to resist Cao Cao's offensive.

.”

Tian Feng always gave his advice directly, that is to say, he never cared whether Yuan Shao liked to hear it or not, no matter what he said.

Therefore, among Yuan Shao's camp, Tian Feng is not liked by Yuan Shao.

However, what Tian Feng said today happened to hit Yuan Shao's heart.

After Wuchao was burned, Yuan Shao really didn't want to fight!

Yuan Shao now wanted to return to his city of Ye, and Tian Feng's idea suited Yuan Shao's wishes.

Even though Wuchao was burned, Yuan Shao was still the largest prince in the world.

As long as he can return to Yecheng, with Qingzhou and Youzhou as his two wings, it will not be so easy for Cao Cao to completely defeat Yuan Shao.

In fact, based on history, after the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao did not say that he completely defeated Yuan Shao.

It was after Yuan Shao died of illness that Yuan Shao's three sons fought for power, allowing Cao Cao to take advantage and unify the north.

Therefore, Tian Feng's idea is indeed the most reasonable one at present.

"If you keep the green hills, you won't have to worry about running out of firewood."

"Yuan Hao's words make sense. Get ready immediately. Let's move our troops back to Yecheng." Yuan Shao said immediately.

Seeing that Yuan Shao was eager to return to Yecheng, Jushou also stood up and reminded him: "Lord, it is true that we should return to Yecheng!"

"However, we must also prevent Cao Cao from taking the opportunity to cover up his attack. At that time, retreat will become a defeat!"

Escape and retreat are two different concepts.

To retreat, you need to bring the entire army back.

After Ju Shou finished speaking, Yuan Shao's eyes shifted to Tian Fengde.

After this defeat, Yuan Shao seemed to understand who under his command was capable of getting things done.

People like Guo Tu and others are good at flattering others.

When it came time to come up with an idea, it had to be Tian Feng and Ju Shou.

Especially Tian Feng, although his words are not lovable, his words are really useful!

It is when this person encounters setbacks that he can see clearly who is sincere to him.

"Yuan Hao, do you have a plan on how to withdraw to Yecheng?" Yuan Shao asked Tian Feng.

Tian Feng stroked his short beard and said slowly: "My lord, I think General Zhang He will lead his troops to escort you to Yecheng."

"General Ju Yi is the chief general, responsible for resisting Cao's army from the front. General Gao Lan is the deputy general, responsible for resisting Cao's army on the left wing."

"In addition, you allocate 50,000 elite troops to Liu Bei and let him resist Cao's army on the right wing."

"The food and grass in our camp are enough for seven days. The soldiers and horses responsible for resisting Cao's army only need to resist in Guandu for five days, and then they can retreat in an orderly manner."

"My lord, go ahead for five days. By then, even if Cao Jun wants to catch up, he will never be able to catch up."

After Tian Feng finished speaking, Ju Yi stepped out of the queue, raised his hands towards Yuan Shao and said: "My lord, don't worry, go ahead. Within five days, I, Ju Yi, will die in Guandu, and I will never let Cao's army cross Guandu."
