Three Kingdoms: I will return it ten thousand times, my lord, I will never keep it for myself

At dawn the next day, Liu Yao kept his promise and personally ordered the removal of the heavy shackles.

Seeing this, Ju Yi's eyes were firm, and he led his men on the way home without hesitation, revealing an unquestionable determination from his back.

However, Liu Yao was not completely relieved. He made careful arrangements and sent dozens of light cavalry to follow Ju Yi's army like a shadow, secretly spying on every move of Ju Yi's army to ensure that they had completely evacuated every inch of land in Zhuo County.

At this time, Yuan Shao, who had fled back to Jizhou, had already been completely frightened by Liu Yao, and he wished he could return to Yecheng immediately.

The former Yuan Benchu, who dared to draw his sword and point it directly at Dong Zhuo in the court, no longer exists.

Years and hardships have quietly smoothed his edges, leaving only a panic-stricken heart, seeking the last shelter in the wind and rain.

In the past, Yuan Shao was born into a distinguished family, with four generations of three officials. He stood firm in the turbulent times, with outstanding style and no one else.

However, since the confrontation with Liu Yao, the situation has changed suddenly, and the past glory seems to be covered by dark clouds. After repeated defeats, Yuan Shao can't help but feel ripples of self-doubt in his heart.

At this moment, his mood is quite similar to Zhou Yu's melancholy before his death - since Yu was born, why was Liang born! A kind of hero sympathy but helpless sigh lingered in his heart, and Liu Yao would always be a mountain pressing on him.

Seeing this, Xu You looked a little firm and comforted the disheartened Yuan Shao softly.

"My lord, don't let a temporary setback dampen your ambitions. Although our army failed to win the battle with Liu Yao, the land of Jizhou is still as solid as a mountain and is our solid backing."

"In the past, Emperor Gaozu experienced wind, frost, rain and snow, and was defeated repeatedly, but in the battle of Gaixia, he finally turned the tide and turned Xiang Yu's ambition into nothing. On the other hand, my lord, your current foundation is far different from Emperor Gaozu's, and it is incomparable!!"

"Now that Gongsun Zan has been eliminated, our army can take a breath of relief and recuperate. It is a good time to march to Qingzhou and then seek Yanzhou!!"

"The gap between us and Liu Yao now is not only in the gap between civil officials and military generals, but also in the gap between the two sides' military strength."

Liu Yao holds Bingzhou and Yongzhou, and also has the vast grassland. Those tribes on the grasslands have always been known for their bravery and good fighting skills. They live on horseback and have excellent archery skills. Those grassland peoples have always been warlike. "

"In this vast northern land, the Bingzhou Legion, formed by many northern ethnic groups, is like a tiger dominating the north. It has few rivals and its reputation is shocking! ! "

"Under Liu Yao's careful governance and planning, Bingzhou, which may have been inconspicuous in the past, has suddenly become one of the safest and richest paradises in the world. "

"What's even more amazing is that his huge wealth, which seems to have fallen from the sky and has unknown sources, has helped him to form a well-equipped, brave and good cavalry unit, which has made Bingzhou's military strength even more powerful. "

"And Liu Yao's martial arts are even more shocking, and he can be said to be the King of Western Chu in the past! ”

“There are countless generals who died at his hands, even the extremely brave Lu Bu died at his hands in the end!”

“Faced with such a strong opponent, we can only judge the situation, cleverly use the passes and cities in our hands as natural barriers, take a defensive position, and constantly consume Liu Yao’s spirit and strength. This is the best strategy!”

“At this moment, our army needs to be patient and wait for the opportunity. After we successfully capture the two strategic locations of Qingzhou and Yanzhou, the gap in strength between the two sides will be greatly reduced. At that time, we will compete with him again, and the outcome is still unknown.”

Yuan Shao threw the exquisitely carved wine glass in his hand, and the wine splashed, just like his chaotic mood at the moment.

“I! The most elite halberd soldiers under my command are now all under Ju Yi’s command. Now, I am afraid that they have turned into lonely ghosts under the loess of Zhuo County! Together with the tens of thousands of Jizhou warriors, they may not be able to escape the bad luck and be buried in a foreign land. "

"In Bingzhou, the sharpness of the Modao Team, the swiftness of the Black Armor Cavalry, the tenacity of the Xianzhen Camp, and the elegance of the Baima Yicong, which one is not a famous iron-blooded division? What's more, there are the famous Bingzhou Eight Tigers under Liu Yao, who are even more terrifying!"

"Looking around, the only two people who can still fight in my hands are Yan Liang and Ju Yi! It's a pity that Ju Yi may have already died, leaving only an empty name. With Yan Liang alone, how can I, Yuan Shao, plan a counterattack and regain my glory? "

"Tell me! How can I fight back? "

Speaking of this, Yuan Shao's tone was full of helplessness and desolation, as if a hero's tragic song at the end of his road echoed in this empty tent.

Just when Xu YouWhen he wanted to continue persuading, Feng Ji rushed in at a trot.

"My Lord! My Lord! General Ju Yi has returned with the halberd soldiers and the first landing camp, as well as more than 10,000 Jizhou troops!"

Upon hearing the news, Yuan Shao was immediately delighted and stood up from his seat. However, this joy was fleeting, replaced by a solemn and complicated expression.

Seeing this, Feng Ji hurriedly bowed and made suggestions.

"My lord, if you think about this carefully, there are indeed many strange things. Liu Yao has come out in full force this time, with tens of thousands of troops surrounding General Ju, and the two elite troops, the Black Armored Cavalry and the White Horse Volunteers, have all joined the battle."

"And my Jizhou army is mostly infantry, how can we escape the cavalry's shadow and escape death on the plain?"

"And according to the spies' report on the front line, it was Liu Yao who took the initiative to open the gap and let Ju Yi go."

Hearing this, Xu You hurriedly advised: "My lord! Don't forget! If Ju Yi hadn't sacrificed his life to cover you out of the siege, you would be dead now I am afraid he has already been killed by the enemy, and his body and head have been separated!"

"If we suspect him rashly at this moment, I am afraid that the whole army will be chilled and their morale will be greatly reduced!"

"And now Ju Yi has a large army! His brother Ju Wu's martial arts are not inferior to General Yan Liang! Once they have the intention of rebellion, Jizhou will fall into chaos!"

"General! If you really doubt General Ju Yi, it is not now!"

"If he really does not listen to your orders in the future, you must slowly divide his troops! Minimize the losses!"

Yuan Shao nodded slightly when he heard this. Although he was suspicious by nature, he could still distinguish the priorities in the urgent situation.

"Well, that makes sense! I will personally go to meet Ju Yi! Quickly order someone to prepare a banquet. I will welcome Ju Yi as a reward!"

"Let's stabilize the morale of the army for now. We will talk about Ju Yi later."

After saying this, Yuan Shao and the others walked out of the military tent to meet Ju Yi.
