In Gaoliu City, it took Yuan Shao several days to settle down from the nightmare of defeat. 100000 troops set out, and less than 30000 people were able to escape. The rest of the troops were either captured or escaped. The loss of the general made Yuan Shao feel distressed, especially his nephew Gao Gan disappeared, which made Yuan Shao very angry.
The consequence of Yuan Shao's anger is that Feng Ji, the first pupa of the army, was unlucky. Feng Ji, who fled back to Gaoliu City, was immediately ordered to be locked up in prison by Yuan Shao. If he hadn't been diligent and followed him for many years, he wouldn't have been killed at the beginning.
In fact, Yuan Shao also had the idea of beheading him in anger, but everyone begged for Fengji. Yuan Shao, who was not firm in his original idea, no longer insisted on beheading Fengji, but instead went to jail.
In particular, Xu you also pleaded for Fengji, which made Yuan Shao unable to make up his mind to kill Fengji. In fact, Xu you also wanted Yuan Shao to kill Feng Ji so that he could have one less competitor, but he couldn't use the reason for the defeat. You know, although Feng Ji has selfishness, there is indeed his reason for sending troops this time, but he fell into the trap of the Tang army. Therefore, it is also a crime of non war.
If Yuan Shao really killed Fengji this time, what if Xu you had an idea and stubble next time, wouldn't he lose his head? Therefore, when Yuan Shao wanted to kill Fengji, Xu you also stood up and tried to ensure that Fengji would not die, which disturbed a wave of people's hearts for Xu Youla.
However, after this great defeat, Yuan Shao has not thought of how to end it for the time being. It's just that the idea of entering the West and merging the state has been defeated by the cavalry of the Tang army. At least before the cavalry of the state of Wei is trained, Yuan Shao dare not lead the army to the West.
Since there was no hope of entering the west, Yuan Shao didn't hesitate this time. After arranging for General Han Meng, the general of the capture army, to lead 50000 troops to guard Gaoliu, Yuan Shao left Daijun in a hurry and was ready to return to Yecheng.
……
When the war in the west of Youzhou was hastily ended, the war in the East had also entered the final stage.
After a few days, Zhao Yu's command concentrated on nearly 30000 troops, including more than 10000 cavalry and more than 20000 soldiers. In addition, the construction of Ma'anshan pass has begun to take shape. Of course, this only refers to the north wall.
After tens of thousands of people and craftsmen building day and night, now the north wall has reached one foot and five feet. In two days, the city gate can be built. Now the ditch outside the wall has been dug. Only when the river next to it is finally dug, it can be turned into a moat.
After several days of arrangement, the people of dianzi city in the north have all retreated to the south of Ma'anshan pass, and the people of Louzidian town in the north are almost to dianzi city. Now there are only a thousand cavalry and a thousand foot soldiers in these towns. After receiving wangmen, all these towns in the north can be abandoned.
"The construction and defense arrangements of the pass will be handed over to general Meng. After the general will lead the army to leave, general Meng needs to speed up the construction of the North pass. If it's not bad, once our army receives general wangmen, the Xianbei army will follow. At that time, the North pass will become the only barrier against the southward movement of the Xianbei army."
Ma'anshan pass, within the wall of Beiguan pass, Zhao Yu sat on the horse and looked at Meng Yuandao who came to see him off;
"Please don't worry, general. If you don't go all out, build Ma'anshan pass as soon as possible." Meng Yuan respectfully replied.
Meng Yi arranged Meng Yuan and Hao Jian to be Zhao Yu's deputy generals. Hao Jian is good at cavalry, which can help Zhao Yu command the cavalry, and Meng's principle is to be a step general. Therefore, once Zhao Yu leads the army, Meng principle is the most suitable left behind general.
Now Zhao Yu is ready to lead the troops north and meet the king's gate to break through the siege and go south.
Zhao Yu nodded, pulled out the horse's head, and gently clamped his legs on the horse's belly. The war horse walked briskly towards the north. Behind her, a thousand cavalry followed, and the roaring sound of horse hoofs echoed back into the valley, which had not dissipated for a long time.
In Chifeng City, the king's gate has gathered the city's generals to discuss matters in the Taishou mansion. Next to him is Lou Jing who entered the city again.
"Gentlemen, General Zhao has led 10000 cavalry to meet our evacuation, so from now on, everyone should be ready to leave at any time..." the King opened his mouth and said to the generals present;
"Report! Ximen urgent report!"
At this time, a voice came from the king's gate. Someone asked for an audience outside the gate. The general on duty at the head of the city should send someone to report the military situation.
"Come in!"
"Squeak!" With a sound, the door was pushed open, and the guard outside the door came in with an ordinary soldier in a tie.
"See you, general!"
"No gift! Hu Huan sent you here. What can I do for you?"
"Report back to the general, the follow-up army of Xianbei people has arrived!"
"Is that it?" The king's gate suddenly stood up, picked up his weapons and went to the wall. The other generals followed, and more than ten people hurried to the inner city and the west city wall.
Walking a hundred steps away from the city wall, they can hear more and more noise in the outer city outside the city wall.
"General!" Seeing the king's gate climbing the wall, the general on duty immediately came to report what had happened in the outer city: "about an hour ago, there was a faint cry in the North outside the city. At that time, the general didn't care. Who knows that half an hour later, the flag of Xianbei army appeared outside the west gate of the outer city."
"Then, countless Xianbei armies began to pour into the city, and these Xianbei cavalry were all the same palace tent cavalry, so it was not speculated that the troops of Xianbei army had arrived."
"General, look!" Just then, a general nearby suddenly exclaimed;
Everyone looked in the direction of his fingers. In the distance, a big flag appeared in the sight of everyone.
"Zuo Xianwang!" Wang men's eyes were very good. He immediately saw a few words on the flag. There was nothing wrong. It was really Zuo Xian Wang. He just didn't know who this Zuo Xian Wang was. However, it didn't matter. Zuo Xian Wang was already the largest official position in Xianbei in the East, so it should be the follow-up army of Xianbei people.
"It seems that we must hurry up with the evacuation." The king thought in his heart.
Soon, the king's gate made a decision, turned his head and looked at Lou Jing beside him and whispered, "general Lou, please run again and tell General Zhao as soon as possible that you haven't prepared here. Please prepare for the reception. Time..." speaking of this, the king's gate looked up at the sky again. Now it's afternoon, and Xianbei people shouldn't attack the city today.
"The time is set for tomorrow. Preparations will begin at Yin o'clock tomorrow. At Mao o'clock, the south gate will be opened to break through the siege. General Zhao is also requested to send troops to meet him as soon as possible."
Wang men knows that tomorrow is the best time for him to break through. The Xianbei army arrived today and will certainly not attack the city immediately. However, the army will be arranged outside the south gate, but I don't know how many there will be, but once they are all arranged in place, his last chance will be lost.
Lou Jing also knew that the matter was urgent, saluted the king's gate with a fist, and then left quickly. He must leave the city immediately, otherwise he will have no chance after the soldiers and horses in the south of Xianbei army are arranged.
