The Supreme Call of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 164
Only two days later, reports from the scouts came one after another. Yue Fei withdrew his troops and gathered in Tai'an County in an attempt to fight Cao Cao. It fell into the hands of Cao Cao in a day.

Yue Fei led the army to retreat in the direction of Qingzhou City, unable to resist the advance of Cao Cao's army.

Yuan Shao didn't receive a report, so he felt at ease. By the time he received the ninth battle report in three days, Yue Fei had already retreated all the way to the Huangjialing area, and he had left Tai'an County for more than a hundred miles.

"Haha, Gongze, Yuantu, look, look, Yue Fei can't handle Cao Cao's army at all, Cao Cao, Cao Cao, he is truly an unrivaled hero, and his use of troops is really unique!"

Yuan Shao's heart was finally completely relieved. Even if he lured the enemy to go deep, it is impossible to let Cao Cao continue to attack the city and plunder the land like this. If this continues, at most three or four days, Cao Cao will be able to approach the city of Qingzhou!

"We can't wait any longer, we must take the initiative to attack!"

Yuan Shao said harshly, "If we continue to stand in such a stalemate with Liu Xiao, most of Qingzhou will fall into Cao Cao's hands in the end. At that time, he will move his army southward, approaching Qingzhou, and take Sili, Yanzhou, Yuzhou and Xuzhou four If the states are connected into one piece, no one will be able to control the whole world!"

Guo Tu, Shen Pei and the others couldn't sit still anymore. My army and Liu Xiao were wasting here, consuming countless money and food every day, without getting an inch of land. Could it be that they just watched Cao Cao lead the army to take the entire Qingzhou? Come down, wouldn't that just make a wedding dress for someone else in vain?
"My lord, we need to straighten out the army today. In the future, we will send troops to fight Liu Xiao to the death. Now that Tai'an County has fallen and Qingzhou City is in danger, the Qingzhou army's morale will be in chaos. Our army will attack with all its strength, and Liu Xiao will definitely be defeated!"

The judge said in a low voice.

However, by the time Yuan Shao, Shen Pei and others made up their minds to take the initiative to launch a decisive battle, the time was already too late.

It was bright the next day, and the pawns on duty outside the camp ran all the way and entered the handsome account!
"My lord, early this morning, we just discovered that Liu Xiao's camp has been deserted, and all the troops have withdrawn at night!"

Yuan Shao was startled, Liu Xiao withdrew?
"Let's go, my lord, follow me out to see what's going on!"

Yuan Shao ran out of the camp all the way with Shen Pei and others, and arrived at Liu Xiao's position. Now Liu Xiao's position has already been deserted...

Yuan Shao sneered and said, "It seems that Liu Xiao couldn't hold on any longer, so he brought all his main force back to Qingzhou to defend against Cao Cao's attack. How to escape this calamity!"

Feng Ji said in a low voice: "My lord, it's better to be careful. Although Liu Xiao is young, he has always been extremely cunning, so we have to guard against it!"

Yuan Shao's heart was shaken. Over the years, he has suffered a lot from Liu Xiao's hands. What Feng Ji said is right, it's better to be more careful.

"Lord!"

When Yuan Shao was hesitating, the examiner urged his horse to come over.

"Zhengnan!"

The judge said in a deep voice: "The minister has already taken a rough look at Liu Xiao's camp. It seems that Liu Xiao really can't hold on..."

Yuan Shao raised his brows and asked, "How can you see it?"

The judge replied: "My lord, it is said that this time Liu Xiao sent troops to Pingyuan County, a total of 2 elite troops from Danyang, and 5000 elite troops from Qingzhou. Now that Yue Fei has been defeated, the entire Qingzhou defense is empty, and it is impossible to withstand Cao Cao's advance, so we can only withdraw our troops as soon as possible to help Qingzhou City, now is the best time for our army to pursue!"

Yuan Shao hesitated, "But what if Liu Xiao wants to lure the enemy into deeper?"

The examiner said anxiously: "My lord, what time is this? Are you still worried that Liu Xiao is luring the enemy deep? Now the fire in his backyard has burned, and if you don't withdraw your troops to help, even Qingzhou City will be lost. Continue If we continue to confront our army, within a month and a half, Cao Cao will sweep the entire Qingzhou, you must know that this is Cao Mengde, not Yuan Gonglu, once the overall situation is settled, Cao Cao will not give us a single pavilion of land!"

Yuan Shao's heart was shocked, and he finally made up his mind!

"Here's an order to command Lü Bu to be the vanguard, lead [-] fine cavalry to pursue Liu Xiao first, and lead the main force of the army alone to follow behind. Qingzhou can only belong to me, Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao is not qualified to occupy it yet!"

Yuan Shao shouted loudly, and the Jizhou army started to move. Squads of Yuan Jun rushed out and chased them all the way.

However, Liu Xiao's Qingzhou Army had been completely withdrawn two hours ago, and two hours was enough for the Qingzhou Army to run all the way for more than [-] miles.

Even if Lu Bu's cavalry is fast, it is not so easy to catch up with Liu Xiao.

For two consecutive days, Lu Bu's vanguard cavalry only fought against the cavalry led by Tai Shici once. After being forced back by Tai Shici, the Qingzhou army retreated even faster.

On the third day, Yuan Shao continued to chase, and a general ran all the way from the rear to Yuan Shao!
"Report!"

The visitor got off his horse and said anxiously: "My lord, something is wrong. General Gao Chong of the Qingzhou Army led a fine cavalry to attack Yecheng, blasted a gap in the city wall of Yecheng with firearms, and immediately launched a fierce attack on Yecheng. , Our army fought hard to resist, but it was difficult to resist Gao Chong's attack, the eldest son ordered the general to send a message, requesting the lord to return to Yecheng as soon as possible!"

Yuan Shao felt dizzy, Gao Chong attacked Yecheng?

If it was someone else, Yuan Shao wouldn't have to worry so much, but Gao Chong is leading the army, he is an unrivaled general comparable to Lu Bu, and the first rank of general in the ten thousand horse army is just like picking something out of a bag!
"Lord!"

Shen Pei said anxiously: "Liu Xiao's order to raid Yecheng just shows that Liu Xiao can't hold on any longer and wants to force us to return reinforcements so that he can free up his hands to concentrate on attacking Cao Cao. At this time, we absolutely cannot Return to Yecheng to aid. As long as we defeat Liu Xiao's main force, the entire Qingzhou will be ours. When the time comes, Gao favors a lone army without any backup and lack of food and grass. In the end, he can only be our prisoner! Lord, we should Attack with all your strength and pursue Liu Xiao!"

"fart!"

Yuan Shao shouted angrily: "Yecheng is where our foundation lies. How can we allow any mistakes? Once Yecheng is completely in the hands of Gao Chong, the generals of our army must have no intention of fighting, and at this time, regardless of Yecheng, they will help Cao Cao restrained Liu Xiao's main force, allowing Cao Cao to take advantage of it. How can there be such a beautiful thing in the world? Immediately send an order to Lu Bu, ordering Lu Bu to lead [-] fine horsemen to rush to the aid of Yecheng. I will lead the main force and arrive soon. This time, we must Capture this bastard Gao Chong alive!"
