Yuan Shao and others escaped from Yecheng and ran westward for midnight. By dawn, there were already people and horses. Yan Liang said to Yuan Shao: "Lord, we have been waiting for a night, and it is far from Yecheng. Why not find a place to rest."

Yuan Shao looked around and saw a forest not far ahead. He pointed with a horse whip and said, "Let's go where we can rest!"

When he arrived in the woods, Yuan Shao, with the help of Yan Liang, turned over and dismounted. Seeing that there were only more than 30 people following him. Wen was only Feng Ji, Xin Pi, and Wu was only Yan Liang, and he couldn't help but sigh to the sky.

Xinpi and Yuan Shao sighed and asked respectfully: "Lord, I wonder where we should go next?"

"The journey to Bohai is long, with Jizhou in the middle and Youzhou is separated by you. It seems that it will not be possible to go." As for the next place, not to mention ordinary civil and military officials, even Yuan Shao himself was in his mind. "If there is nowhere to go, we can only go to Shouchun to go to the highway."

"No, lord must not." Yan Liang heard Yuan Shao say this and quickly persuaded: "In the past, Yuan Gonglu sent someone to Jizhou to ask for horses, but was rejected by his lord. I believe he must have a grudge against this matter. Once the lord is in poverty and surrenders, he will inevitably be cowardly."

After hearing what Yan Liang said, Feng Ji was not at ease. He thought that the last time Yuan Shu sent someone to ask for a horse, he tried his best to oppose providing a horse to Shouchun, which led to the two of them turning against each other. Although he had advised Yuan Shao to surrender to Yuan Shu a few days ago, this move was extremely inappropriate. Yuan Gonglu was narrow-minded. If he wanted to kill him because of the horse, even his lord would not be able to save his life.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly said, "Lord, General Yan said so much. We cannot go to the highway, otherwise it will be too late to regret it."

When Yuan Shao heard him say this, he couldn't help but glared at him fiercely, thinking: You advised me to go to the highway, why didn't you admit it in a blink of an eye? Before he could speak, Xin Pi said to Yan Liang: "General Yan, the lord has been traveling all night, and he must be hungry. Why would you send someone to check in front of you? Can you buy some food in the village and town to satisfy your hunger?"

Yan Liang was always loyal to Yuan Shao. After hearing what Xinpi said, he said without hesitation: "Mr. George said very well, Yan took someone to find food for the lord."

"General Yan, if you leave, who can protect your lord here?" Feng Ji felt a little panicked when he saw Yan Liang leaving. He was very afraid that the Jizhou soldiers would take the opportunity to catch up, and then he would have to surrender, so he tried his best to stop Yan Liang from leaving.

"Yes, General Yan." In this matter, Xinpi and Fengji had the same idea. Although everyone ran all night, if the soldiers from Jizhou caught up, it would be a dream to stop the pursuers with a few soldiers.

Seeing that Feng Ji and Xin Pi disagreed with going to the front to find food in person, Yan Liang had to give up. He called two more clever soldiers and asked them to go to the front to explore the way to see if they could find any villages and towns and buy some food for everyone.

Yuan Shao sat under a tree and gasped for a while, and suddenly asked, "Why didn't you see Wen Chou? Why haven't he broken through the siege yet?"

When Wen Chou was mentioned, Yan Liang's eyes turned red. He and Wen Chou were as close as brothers. This time, they broke through, but they did not see Wen Chou. According to his ideas, they probably died in the chaos.

When Xin Pi saw Yan Liang's expression, he sighed in his heart and said to Yuan Shao: "Lord, when his subordinates rushed to the provincial governor's mansion, they saw a team of soldiers fighting with the Jizhou army on the street. Maybe it was General Wen Chou. Since he was still missing, it would be a lot of danger."

"Oh!" After hearing Xin Pi say this, Yuan Shao said with some pain: "It's a pity that one of my tiger generals died in the chaos. The Han family, this general is incompatible with you, and sooner or later take down your head on your neck."

Feng Ji listened on the side and thought disdainfully: You are a stray dog ​​now, and whether you can make a comeback is a question. You also want to take the head of the Han child, just dream.

The soldiers sent were not back yet, and Yuan Shao was getting hungry after all night. He looked at the direction where the soldiers left and asked in a low voice: "Why have the two soldiers not returned yet? Did they escape?"

"My lord, please don't worry." Yan Liang was a straightforward person. Seeing that Yuan Shao suspected that the two soldiers had been abandoned, he quickly explained to him: "These two are the confidants of the last general, and they are reliable and will never be abandoned."

"This is not accurate." Feng Ji said sarcastically: "Maybe they are going to see the lord fall into trouble, so they are ready to choose another high branch and run to the Jizhou army."

"What did you say?" Yan Liang heard Feng Ji say this, and slapped the big knife's pole to the ground, saying, "Yan dares to guarantee his life, and these two people will definitely not betray the lord!"

Xinpi was afraid that the two of them would quarrel, so he quickly persuaded: "Now that everyone is in trouble, we should work together. How can we attack each other? It is still important to be harmonious."

Just as both sides were at a strife, a soldier suddenly shouted, "There is a sound of horse hooves."

Everyone quickly listened, and there was indeed a burst of rapid sound of horse hooves. However, it was not from the east, but from the west. Not long after, two soldiers sent by Yan Liang appeared in everyone's sight.

Seeing his subordinates appear, Yan Liang snorted heavily at Feng Ji, and then said, "How is it? I said my confidant will never leave his lord."

After eating the dry food brought back by the soldiers, everyone continued to discuss where to go next. At this moment, there was another sound of horse hooves on the official road. Yan Liang thought that the pursuers had arrived and was about to get on the horse, but he heard someone shouting from afar: "Can you be ahead of me, lord?"

Yan Liang and Xin Pi left the forest and saw that there were only two or three cavalrymen. In front was an official from Yecheng, named Dong, named Gongren, and a yamen runner followed behind. Xin Pi hurriedly met him and shouted at him: "Gongren, lord is here!"

Dong Zhao came to the forest to see Yuan Shao, and quickly knelt down and saluted: "See the lord!"

Yuan Shao is now at the end of his journey. When he saw that there was someone willing to follow him, he couldn't help but feel a little moved. He quickly stood up and helped Dong Zhao up, and said politely: "Gongren, thank you all the way!"

Dong Zhao stood up and asked Yuan Shao: "Lord, I wonder where you plan to go next?"

Yuan Shao showed a embarrassed expression on his face when he heard Dong Zhao's question. Although there were many princes today, there seemed to be few who could join him. Zhang Miao from Chenliu had always followed his orders. If he went to join him, in addition to being unable to let go of his face, there was another thing: it was too close to Yecheng, and the soldiers and horses in Jizhou might be at the city at any time, so it was not the best choice, so he was given up.

Yuan Shao and others escaped from Yecheng and ran westward for midnight. By dawn, there were already people and horses. Yan Liang said to Yuan Shao: "Lord, we have been waiting for a night, and it is far from Yecheng. Why not find a place to rest."
