Guan Yu stands on the top of the city, overlooking Zhang Xun's barracks.
"General Guan, it's strange to say so." Liao Hua said: "this Zhang Xun is obviously in a hurry for success. He wants to capture Yingyang city as soon as possible, but why doesn't he go out of the camp these days?"
Guan Yu gently stroked long beard: "Yuan Jian, have you noticed the face of Yuan Shu Jun these days?"
"Complexion?" Liao Hua frowned and shook his head.
Guan Yu chuckled: "most of the soldiers under Zhang Xun's command are sallow these days. It is obvious that there is not much grain and rice, and the pace is flimsy."
Liao Hua seemed to understand: "general, Zhang Xun is out of food?"
Guan Yu nodded and shook his head again: "it can't be said that it's grain shortage. It's just a lack of food. Otherwise, Zhang Xun is afraid that he's already retired."
"It is impossible for Yuan Shu to abandon the tens of thousands of troops of Zhang Xun's army, and the lack of food in Zhang Xun's army only shows one thing." Guan Yu's eyes looked at the distance: "Runan, something happened."
Liao Hua was excited: "this is so good that Yingchuan will be saved!"
Although Zhang Xun sent a letter to Shouchun to ask for food, Yuan Shu had been too busy in Shouchun, and only returned a letter to Zhang Xun.
"How?" Zhang Xun said in a hurry: "Han engaged, can the Lord send men and horses to Runan County to clear the way?"
Han Yin had a cold sweat on his forehead. He said with a smile, "everything has been written on the letter. The general should read it by himself."
Zhang Xun can't wait to tear open the letter, but read no two lines, immediately froze.
"What? Your majesty did not send troops! "
Zhang Xun was astonished and said: "Runan County is the channel of our army's life. If your majesty doesn't send troops to get through Runan County, how can our army fight?"
Han Yin stammered: "Shouchun was attacked by Cao Cao of Xuzhou, and now his Majesty's forces are stretched out..."
"60000 troops, 60000 troops!" Zhang Xun's expression was suddenly excited, his face turned red, and he could not care that Han Yin was Yuan Shu's confidant, so he grabbed his collar.
"Han engaged in!" Zhang Xun clenched his teeth and said, "there are 60000 troops here. If there is a loss, how many people can go back to see their children?"
Han Yin was seized by Zhang Xun's collar, and his breath was not smooth: "general, villains don't want to be like this, but your majesty..."
"hum!"
Han, throw your hands on the ground and get out
Han Yin was so scared that he ran out in a hurry.
Li Feng took a step forward and worried: "general, at present, Shouchun is too busy for himself. Our army's grain and grass are only used for six or seven days. What should we do?"
Zhang Xun sat on the main seat, and his mind became a mess. He thought about it and finally made a difficult decision.
"Go back, let's go!"
"Go?"
"Not bad!" Zhang Xun said: "without the supply of grain and grass, it is impossible for our army to attack Yingchuan and Chen in a few days. It would be better for us to take back Runan County with the grain and grass of Runan County as support, at least our army will not collapse immediately."
Zhang Xun can see that under such circumstances, it's really a dream to capture Yingchuan and chenguo counties. It's better to take Runan County, because all the 60000 troops can't be buried in Yingchuan county.
"Pass our military order, the rear team is the front team, send troops to Runan County!" Zhang Xun cheered.
"No!"
Li Fenggang was about to turn around and come out, but he was almost knocked down by the horse.
The general said, "the wind blows into the tent! It's not good. "
Zhang Xun frowned: "urgent what?"
"Liu Yuqing in Guanzhong, led by 100000 troops, has entered Yingchuan County, less than 20 li away from Yingyang city!"
"What, Liu Ye came so fast?"
Zhang Xun was stunned. He couldn't go.
"Li Feng." Zhang Xun stopped him again: "command the whole army to stick to the camp and not to go to war without authorization. I would like to see the situation again."
Zhang Xun and Li Feng walked out of the camp together with his cronies. Then he boarded the observation platform and watched from afar. He took a breath of cold air.
Looking out, Zhang Xun saw a large army rushing towards the north of Yingyang city far away.
The 50000 army was like the tide, and the ground became black for a moment. The armored army was very powerful. The birds and animals on the ground suddenly retreated after seeing this powerful army.
In the middle of this army is surrounded by a black flag, with a "Liu" on it.
Zhang Xun's face gradually cooled down, holding the sword handle at his waist.
"Now, if you want to go, you can't go."
Zhang Xun suddenly regretted. He knew that he should not wait here. He should have withdrawn to Runan County. Otherwise, where is the dilemma today?
"Don't enter the city for the time being, just camp outside the city, and form a corner with Yingyang city." Liu Ye ordered."Mengqi, when you report to the city, you say that our army will not enter the city for the time being." Liu Ye says to Ma Chao.
"No
After Ma Chao agreed, he led more than 100 riders out of the battle and galloped to Yingyang city.
"Where are the generals in the city?"
"Guan is here. Please say something."
Seeing Guan Yu standing out, Ma Chao's eyes narrowed. In an instinctive reaction, he grasped the tiger's head and the golden gun in his hand: this man is an expert.
"General Guan came at the order of a general. The general did not lead his troops into the city for the time being. Instead, he stationed his troops outside the city and formed an angle with the city."
Guan Yu nodded: "it's good to say that Guan understood. Please give thanks to the general."
"Good to say."
Ma Chao suddenly grasped the reins, stepped down, hissed and turned away.
"That's great. Since the general's 100000 troops have arrived, Zhang Xun will certainly stay here." Liao Hua said with a smile.
Guan Yu said with a smile: "yes, our army has been besieged by Zhang Xun for many days, and it's time to counter attack."
"Yuan Jian, go down and prepare 3000 elite soldiers. You are ready to go out of the city at any time and fight side by side with the general!" Guan Yu decided.
"No!"
After Liu Ye arrived, he led his army to set up camp outside Yingyang city and formed a corner with Yingyang city. However, Zhang Xun, who had the advantage, fell into a decline.
Zhang Xun knew that although he had 60000 troops, he could not compare with Liu Ye's elite Xiliang army in terms of combat effectiveness, so he prepared to lead the troops to retreat quietly in the evening when the night was shrouded.
"Don't make a sound or make a torch, so as not to disturb the Xiliang army, you know?"
"Hurry up, take good food and grass, we can have this family, but don't lose it."
In the night, more than 50000 Zhang Xun's army was preparing to retreat quietly. Suddenly, it was bright and countless torches were lit.
