Chapter 1413 Last Chance

Remember [New] in a second! In Gaoliu City, it took Yuan Shao a few days to calm down from the nightmare of defeat. One hundred thousand troops set out, and finally less than thirty thousand escaped back. The rest of the soldiers were either captured or escaped. The loss of the generals made Yuan Shao feel distressed, especially the disappearance of his own nephew and high officials, which made Yuan Shao extremely angry.

And the consequence of Yuan Shao's anger is that Fengji, who was the first to act as a pupa, was in bad luck. Fengji, who fled back to Gaoliu City, was ordered by Yuan Shao to be imprisoned immediately. Diligent, it was not beheaded at the beginning.

In fact, Yuan Shao also had the idea of ​​beheading him in anger, but everyone pleaded for Fengji, and Yuan Shao, who was not firm in his thoughts, no longer insisted on beheading Fengji, but went to prison instead.

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 wished that Yuan Shao would kill Fengji so that he would have one less competitor, but he couldn't use the reason for this defeat. You must know that although Fengji had selfish intentions, he did have his reasons for sending troops this time. But Naihe fell into Tang Jun's trap, so it was also a crime of non-war.

If Yuan Shao really killed Feng Ji this time, next time if Xu You made an idea and made trouble, wouldn't it mean that his head would also be lost? Therefore, when Yuan Shao was about to kill Fengji, Xu You also stepped forward to protect Fengji from death, which disturbed a wave of people's hearts for Xu You.

However, after this defeat, Yuan Shao has not thought of how to end it. It is just that the idea of ​​going west to Bingzhou has been defeated by the cavalry of the Tang army. The soldiers marched west.

Since there was no hope of going west, Yuan Shao did not hesitate this time. After arranging General Han Meng to lead 50,000 troops to guard Gaoliu, Yuan Shao hurriedly left Dai Commandery and prepared to return to Yecheng.

...

When the battle in the west of Youzhou ended in a hurry, the war in the east has also entered its final stage.

After a few days, Zhao Yu had gathered nearly 30,000 troops under his command, including more than 10,000 cavalry and more than 20,000 infantry. In addition, the construction of the Ma'anshan pass had begun to take shape. Of course, this only refers to the pass in the north. wall.

After tens of thousands of peasants and craftsmen worked day and night, the northern wall has reached one foot and five feet. In two days, the city gate can be built, and now the trench outside the wall has been dug. Finally, dig the river next to it and turn it into a moat.

After a few days of arrangements, the people of Dianzi City in the north have all evacuated to the south of Ma'anshan Pass, and the people of Louzidian Town in the far north have almost reached Dianzi City. Now there are only a thousand people in these towns. Cavalry and 1,000 infantry defend, and only after they reach the king's gate, 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 leaves with his army, General Meng needs to speed up the construction of the North Pass.

If the expectations are not bad, once our army meets General Wangmen, the Xianbei army will definitely follow. At that time, Beiguan will become the only barrier against the Xianbei army going south. "

Ma'anshan Pass, inside the city wall of Beiguan, Zhao Yu sat on the horse and looked at Meng Yuandao who came to see him off;

"Please rest assured, General, I will definitely go all out to build the Ma'anshan Pass as soon as possible." Meng Yuan returned a respectful salute.

Meng Yi arranged for Meng Yuan and Hao Jian to be Zhao Yu's lieutenants, and he also had considerations. Hao Jian was good at cavalry and could just help Zhao Yu lead the cavalry, while Meng Yuan was an infantry general. So once Zhao Yu leads the army to go out, Meng Principle is the most suitable general to stay behind.

Now Zhao Yu is preparing to lead the troops to go north to meet Wangmen and break through the siege and go south.

Zhao Yu nodded, turned the horse's head, and lightly clamped her legs twice on the horse's belly. The horse walked briskly and headed north. Behind her, a thousand cavalrymen followed closely behind. The rumble of horseshoes echoed in the valley and did not dissipate for a long time.

In Chifeng City, Wangmen has already summoned the generals in the city to discuss matters in the prefect's mansion, and beside him is Lou Jing who has entered the city again.

"Everyone, General Zhao has led 10,000 cavalry to meet our evacuation, so from now on, everyone must be prepared and ready to leave at any time..." Wangmen said to the generals present;

"Report! Ximen Express!"

At this moment, there was a voice from Wangmen, someone was begging to see him outside the door, and the voice should be that the general in charge of guarding the city sent someone to report the military situation.

"Come in!"

"Squeak!" With a sound, the door was pushed open, and the general guard outside the door came in with an ordinary soldier.

"Meet the General!"

"Excuse me! Why did Hu Huan send you here to report!"

"Reporting to the general, the follow-up army of the Xianbei people has arrived!"

"Are you there yet?" Wang Men stood up abruptly, picked up his weapon, and headed towards the city wall. The rest of the generals also followed, and more than a dozen people hurried to the west wall of the inner city.

Walking a hundred steps away from the city wall, they could hear louder and louder noises in the outer city outside the city wall.

"General!" Seeing the king's gate ascending the city wall, the general in charge immediately came over to report what happened in the outer city: "About an hour ago, there was a faint shout from the north outside the city. Who knows, half an hour later, the banner of the Xianbei army will appear outside the west gate of the outer city."

"Then, countless Xianbei troops began to pour into the city, and these Xianbei cavalry were all imperial tent cavalry, so it is not conjectured that the soldiers and horses of the Xianbei army should have arrived."

"Look, general!" At this moment, a general next to him suddenly exclaimed;

Everyone looked in the direction of his finger, and in the distance, a large flag appeared in everyone's sight.

"King Zuo Xian!" Wang Men's eyes were very good, and he immediately saw the words on the banner. There was nothing wrong, it was indeed King Zuo Xian, but he didn't know who this King Zuo Xian was. It doesn't matter anymore, King Zuoxian is already the largest official position in Xianbei in the east, so there should be nothing wrong with the follow-up army of Xianbei people.

"It seems that we must hurry up to evacuate." Wangmen thought in his heart.

Soon, Wang Men made a decision, turned his head to look at Lou Jing beside him and whispered: "General Lou, please run again and tell General Zhao as soon as possible. Get ready, General Zhao is ready to respond, time..." At this point, Wangmen looked up at the sky again, it is now afternoon, and the Xianbei people should not attack the city today.

"The time is set for tomorrow. Preparations will start at Yinshi tomorrow, and the south gate will be opened to break through at Maoshi. General Zhao is also requested to send troops to respond as soon as possible."

Wangmen knew that tomorrow would be the best time for him to break through the siege. The Xianbei army just arrived today, and he would definitely not attack the city immediately. The last chance will be lost.

Lou Jing also knew the urgency of the matter, so he bowed his fists to Wangmen, and then left quickly. He had to leave the city immediately, otherwise there would be no chance after the soldiers and horses to the south of the Xianbei army were arranged.
