Xin Ping and Xun Chen, escorted by several confidants, escaped from Jizhou while the chaos was escorted, and fled to the Jieqiao without stopping, preparing to inform Yuan Shao.

When they fled thirty miles away from Jizhou, everyone slowed down their horses. Xin Ping asked Xun Chen curiously: "Youruo, the one who captured Jizhou was Ling's nephew Han Zhan. Why did you escape from Jizhou with us?"

Xun Chen smiled bitterly and asked back, "What about Zhongzhi, what about you? Ling's brother Xinpi didn't betroth his daughter Xin Xianying to the youngest son of the Han family. You and the Han family should also be considered in-laws, so why should you escape from Jizhou?"

Xin Ping shook his head and said bitterly: "When the lord was able to take over Jizhou, you and I were in charge of it. Now that the Han boy retakes Jizhou, he will definitely kill all the people who helped the lord in the past. Don't look at the fact that you and me are in contact with him, if you continue to stay in Jizhou, you will probably not be able to escape."

Xun Chen turned his head and looked at the direction of Jizhou City, urging Xin Ping with guilt: "Zhongzhi, we must rush to Jieqiao as soon as possible to report to the lord, so that he can take precautions early so that my nephew will not be trampled on the way back."

The group rushed to the outside of Guangzong City with whips. Seeing that the "Yuan" flag was still floating on the top of the city, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. They knew that Gongsun Zan had not yet reached this point. The Sima of the army guarding the city knew Xun Chen and Xin Ping and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to open the city gate and let everyone enter the city.

The army Sima went down the city tower and went to the city gate to greet the two strategists under Yuan Shao. Xun Chen bowed to the other party and said anxiously: "We have a 100,000 urgent military information. We should report to the lord and ask the army Sima to send people to guide us."

"Two gentlemen," he heard Xun Chen say this, Jun Sima quickly replied: "The lord is not in the city."

The words of Jun Sima surprised the two of them. Xun Chen asked nervously: "Where is the lord?"

"Yesterday, General Que Yi defeated Gongsun Zan's cavalry and also killed General Yan Gang." The army's Sima didn't know what the battle was in Jieqiao at this moment, so he could only answer truthfully: "The lord personally led the army to Jieqiao with General Queyi this morning, and met with General Yan Liang who was camping there, preparing to fight with Gongsun Zan there."

"Do you know what the battle is ahead?"

Jun Sima nodded and then said, "A horse probinger once said that General Tuo Yi killed Gongsun Zan and chased him. I believe our army will have another big victory today."

When they heard that their side had another big victory, Xun Chen and Xin Ping felt much more at ease. Because they were anxious to report the news to Yuan Shao, they refused to keep the military Sima, passed through the city, left the city through another city gate, and rushed to report the news to Yuan Shao's Jieqiao.

When they arrived at the Yuan army camp near Jieqiao, Yuan army had just withdrawn their troops and returned to the camp. Xun Chen, who entered the camp, saw the faces of the soldiers in the camp, and could not see any joy at all. He unexpectedly said to Xin: "Zhongzhi, the Sima of the army just now said that our army might win a great victory. Why did the expressions of our soldiers look more like they had lost a battle?"

"If you are careful with your words," Xin Ping quickly stopped him: "If this is heard by the lord, it may be unfavorable to you." After saying that, he called a passing lord and asked him about the situation of the battle. After understanding the specific situation, he was shocked. He said to Xun Chen urgently, "General Que Yi was beheaded by Gongsun Zan's subordinates, and the lord and Gongsun Zan were invincible."

Before the two could approach Yuan Shao's tent, they were stopped by a personal soldier under Yuan Shao: "What are you doing when you are not in Jizhou?"

Xun Chen hurriedly bowed to the other party and said politely: "We have a 100,000 urgent military information. We want to report to the lord and ask the team leader to send it to you."

The team led the team to the big tent and reported to Yuan Shao, who was discussing military information with Fengji, Ju Su, and the inspectors, saying: "You have reported to the lord, there are Xun Chen and Xin Ping, two advisers who asked for a meeting. They said they had a urgent military information and wanted to report it to the lord."

After hearing this, Yuan Shao couldn't help but frowned: "Xun Chen, what emergency military information will be there when Xin Ping arrives at Jieqiao?"

"No," Ju Su heard the team leader's report and slapped his legs, shouting: "Why are the two strategists missing in Jizhou at this moment?"

"Don't talk nonsense, please." Feng Ji heard Ju Su say this and said sarcastically: "Although there are only 800 county soldiers in Jizhou, it is not so easy for the Han family to seize the city."

Yuan Shao was even more upset by the words of the two. He quickly ordered the team to lead: "Let Youruo and Zhongzhi come in."

The skill was not great, Xun Chen and Xin Ping hurriedly walked in from outside the tent. As soon as they saw Yuan Shao, they hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down, bowed to the ground, and said, "Lord, Jizhou is lost!"

"What, Jizhou was lost?" Hearing this, Yuan Shao stood up suddenly, stared at the two of them viciously and asked, "How did he lose it?"

"The cavalry of the Han family's children pretended to be Zhang He's troops who came to reinforce. General Chunyu Qiong was not aware of it for a while and they made the city gate open." Xin Ping did not know that Zhang He had surrendered to Han Zhan. He always thought that the cavalry that rushed into the city was Han Zhan's troops who were sent to pretend to be Zhang He's troops, but he never expected that those cavalry were really Zhang He's subordinates. "Youruo and I took advantage of the chaos to escape from the city and came here to report to the lord."

"Where is my Xier?" Yuan Shao heard that Jizhou was lost, but the first thing he thought of was his second son Yuan Xi, "Have he escaped from the city?"

Feng Ji and Shen Pei next to him heard that Jizhou was lost, and they secretly complained about luck: "Fortunately, the lord's family is still in Bohai, otherwise Mr. Shang will fall into the hands of the Han family's children. If the second son can be killed by the Han family's children, the chance of Mr. Shang taking over the lord will be even greater in the future."

When Xin Ping heard Yuan Shao’s question, he lowered his head to his chest and said guiltily: “I guess he is trapped in the city.”

When Yuan Shao heard that his second son could not escape from Jizhou City, he was furious. He grabbed the arrow box on the table and threw it on the ground. With a bang, the box hit the ground, and the arrow inside was sprinkled all over the ground. He shouted loudly: "Where is Yan Liang?"

Yan Liang quickly stood up and bowed and said, "I will be here!"

"Immediately call up the troops and return to Jizhou." Yuan Shao said gritting his teeth: "I want to fight with the Han family."

"Lord, no!" As soon as Yuan Shao finished speaking, Feng Ji stood up and opposed it: "Our army is not in the position of victory or defeat with Gongsun Zan's army today, but the strength is less than that of the opponent. If Gongsun Zan is noticed by rashly returning, he will definitely lead his army to cover it up, and then our army will be in danger of being destroyed."

"Then what should we do?" Yuan Shao asked angrily: "Are you just letting the Han children occupy Jizhou?"

It is definitely not possible to return to Jizhou. It is a dream to retake Jizhou based on the existing amount of troops; but it seems inappropriate to stay at Jieqiao to continue confronting Gongsun Zan. If you lose Jizhou, all your logistics supplies will be cut off. When the food is exhausted, you will definitely be chased by Gongsun Zan.

Just as everyone in the tent was in a dilemma, the personal soldiers led them to come in from outside and knelt down on one knee in front of Yuan Shao: "Report to the lord, the second son is waiting for him to see him outside the tent."

"No." Yuan Shao, who was angry, didn't hear clearly who the personal soldiers were talking about outside the tent, so he said casually. After saying that, he seemed to feel that his decision was a bit reckless, and quickly asked again: "Who did you just say just now is waiting to see him?"

"Return to the lord," the personal soldiers who were about to get up led the troops. After hearing Yuan Shao's question, they knelt down again and replied: "It's the second young master waiting to see him outside the tent."

When Yuan Shao was about to lead Yuan Xi in, the anxious Yuan Xi had already walked in from outside the tent. He quickly came to Yuan Shao and knelt down with a thud: "Son, see my father!"

"Xi'er," Yuan Shao was surprised to see his son kneeling in front of him safely. He quickly got up and helped Yuan Xi up, and asked unexpectedly: "Aren't you trapped in Jizhou City? How did you escape from danger?"

"Reply to my father's words," Yuan Xi quickly replied, "My son was released by the Han family's son. He asked his son to bring a word to his father."

"This ungrateful beast," Yuan Shao felt so angry that he heard his son mention Han Zhan, "I appointed him as the county magistrate of Sheguo, but I didn't expect that he would raise an army to rebel against me. I wonder what he asked you to bring me?"

Feng Ji and Shen Pei, who were beside Yuan Xi Dynasty, glanced at him and said to himself: "You two flatterers, when you see that my young brother is still loved by his father, they repeatedly praise him for being smart and clever in front of his father, and will surely accomplish great things in the future. If you two are not eliminated as soon as possible, will I have a good life when my younger brother becomes the lord of Jizhou?"

Thinking of this, he said to Yuan Shao: "The young master of the Han family told me that he sent troops to Jizhou to avenge his father. As long as his father was willing to kill Feng Ji and let him avenge his father's killing, he immediately led his troops out of Jizhou City and returned to Sheguo County to make his Sheguo Order."

"Kill Feng Ji?" After hearing what Yuan Xi brought, Yuan Shao turned his eyes to Feng Ji who was standing aside, and asked coldly: "The Han family really said that as long as I kill Feng Ji, will he withdraw his troops?"

"Yes, it's true." Yuan Xi replied affirmatively: "Young Master Han swears that as long as his father sends Feng Ji's head to Jizhou, he will immediately lead his troops out of Jizhou and will never break his promise."

"Lord, please spare me!" Feng Ji saw that Yuan Shao looked at him with a bad look, so he hurriedly knelt down and lay on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "The Han family's child is extremely cunning. How can he trust his words? Please observe clearly!" After that, he kowtowed desperately.
