When the princes of various ways were defeated in Kaifeng, the morale of the army was already in turmoil. Although they had produced 100,000 troops in a short time, it was a world of difference from the first wave of troops recruited.

Morale collapsed and there were no war yet. There were countless soldiers scattered and fleeing. Wang Kuang and Wen Chou had no choice but to join the soldiers and horses of the county, but even so, there were only more than 10,000 people left by the two.

The road ahead was blocked and the road behind was cut off. Tens of thousands of soldiers were left in one day. Wang Kuang cursed so much that he had to go east along the edge of Taihang Mountain with Wen Chou, hoping to avoid Fan Chou's blockade.

If the two of them fled with more than ten thousand cavalry, they could escape before Fan Chou completely blocked the gap, but the two of them commanded more than ten thousand infantrymen. How easy would it be to escape without realizing it?

Both sides encountered the enemy and us on the banks of the Qingshui River in Bo County. The soldiers who were not determined and panicked had fled. The rest were soldiers who were determined to kill back to their hometown. However, Fan Chou was still blocking the road to return home with more than 10,000 soldiers. The battle between the two sides was extremely fierce on the first day of the first day. When they rushed to the front and collided together, countless soldiers died under the dense Han crossbow arrows.

Wen Chou was extremely brave. He continued to rush out with countless soldiers and horses, broke through the siege several times, and then turned around and killed again with his troops, hoping to save his hometown, but there were too many enemies...

"General, Wang Kuang has already escaped first. We will not leave anymore... If we don't leave, we will not be able to leave..."

The general under his command tried his best to hold Wen Chou, and just as he broke free in anger, several arrows shot towards him.

"Puff..."

The general who hugged Wen Chou was extremely brave and roared wildly with blood on his mouth.

"Go away--"

"Walk--"

Several arrows were caught on his back, blood was spurted out from his mouth, and he still turned around and rushed towards Fan Chou who was rushing towards him.

"Zhongshan Zhao Ping——"

"kill--"

Fan Chou was about to turn his sword to slash, but the man roared, but he spitted blood and fell off the war horse. Fan Chou instinctively continued to chase Wen Chou, who had already escaped, but unexpectedly, the man who fell off the war horse slashed on the horse's leg with a knife, and the war horse screamed and smashed on the ground. Fan Chou was not careful of being thrown off the war horse for a while.

"Bang!"

Fan Chou was hit hard on the ground, but Zhao Ping, who was spitting blood in his mouth, grinned.

"Ha...ah...haha..."

"You are looking for death-"

Fan Chou was furious and slashed his sword hard, and his head flew out several steps...

“Huhu…”

Fan Chou looked at the dozens of riders who were gradually moving away, spitted out resentfully, and rushed to the crowd of people still fighting with a big sword again.

"Kill them all, and leave no prisoners-"

This army was too tenacious. Until Wang Kuang and Wen Chou escaped with a few followers, the remaining thousands of soldiers fled in panic, but at this time they could no longer escape. The difference in force several times, even if they ran from all directions, it would be difficult to run around the plain to escape.

"No prisoners left...no prisoners left..."

Fan Chou, who was completely angry, roared repeatedly, and countless soldiers chased and slashed the defeated soldiers until the sunset was gradually calming down...

Two hundred miles away from the Boxian battlefield, there was a huge team of more than ten miles long. It was neither someone else, but Yuan Shao who evacuated overnight.

Wen Chou and Wang Kuang rescued the Pingyin County Ferry. Yuan Shao forced his evacuation despite the opposition of others. Logically, his troops would definitely shrink a lot, but now, not only has his troops not decreased, but have also increased slightly.

The battle situation collapsed too suddenly, and Yuan Shao evacuated without hesitation. Some big families of Ye Wang, Shanyang and Xiuwu were panicked, and the people at the bottom were also panicked, fearing that the disaster of Hanoi County would re-enact the capital Luoyang disaster.

Countless people followed the escape, and Yuan Shao took the opportunity to recruit 30,000 to 40,000 young and strong soldiers as soldiers. Dong Zhuo pressed forward step by step. Yuan Shao did not dare to pause at all. 70,000 soldiers were at the forefront, and behind were countless elderly, weak, women and children...

A team of spies rushed from behind, and before they stopped the war horse, they slammed down and strode to Yuan Shao's carriage.

"Report to the general, Dong Zhe is personally leading 10,000 troops to fight us, only a hundred miles away from our army."

Yuan Shao panicked and asked hurriedly: "Is there any news about Wen Chou?"

The spy bowed his head and said, "There are too many thieves, so we have no way to find out the situation of General Wen Chou's troops."

After hearing this, Yuan Shao slapped the handrail of the carriage heavily, as if he was worried and regretting something...

Yuan Tan suddenly said, "The thief Dong followed him, and the child thought he should send a soldier and horse to set up an ambush halfway."

Yuan Shao looked at his son unhappily, and was about to scold him coldly, Xu You, who was riding a horse, spoke.

"It would be best if the ambush can be set up to attack the old thief Dong Zhuo, but there is no such a dangerous place in Hanoi County. At this time, the thief people are in a big way, so it is particularly difficult to defeat the thief."

Xu You took off the wine gourd around his waist and signaled Yuan Tan with a cold face. He was rejected by Yuan Tan and then drank it on his own.

"It is good to use the city to stop Dong Zhe's footsteps, but the eldest son should know that anyone who hides in the city will die. The biggest reason is that all the princes have acquiesced to Dong Zhuo occupy Hanoi County."

Yuan Tan was shocked, and Feng Ji, Xun Yu and others were all silent.

"Apart from the lord, even Han Fu dared not cross the border and enter Hanoi County, for fear of giving Dong a pretext to enter Jizhou. Once our army hides in the city, our army will become a trapped beast in the city and no one will come to rescue it."

Yuan Tan frowned and said, "If the old thief Dong Zhuo is not stopped, will the thief stop in Hanoi County?"

Xu You smiled, and did not answer Yuan Tan's confusion, but turned to look at Feng Ji.

"What do you think Brother Yuantu?"

Feng Ji said expressionlessly: "Old thief Dong Zhuo will naturally not stop here, but if he stepped out of Hanoi County, our army will be able to defend a city more, and it will further prove that the lord is right. Those who compromise with Dong thief are short-sighted, and the benevolent people in the world will also be loyal to the lord."

Yuan Shao was very satisfied with Feng Ji's words. At this moment, Xun Yu kicked forward.

"The subordinates also think that Yuantu's words are good, but the lord needs to be cautious. Dong Zhuo has crossed the river and entered Hanoi, and Jizhou will inevitably be frightened. If Dong thieves colluded with the Heishan army at this time, the entire Jizhou may be in danger of overturning. The subordinates thought that they should send envoys to Luoyang and Chang'an immediately, and Dong Zhuo should stop immediately."

"Our army needs time to stabilize the morale of the army, and Jizhou needs time to wipe out the Yellow Turban thieves."

Yuan Shao frowned. He was defeated in Kaifeng first, and now he let Dong Zhuo cross the Yellow River. His prestige has also declined again and again, and he urgently needed the opportunity to increase his prestige. Feng Ji's words provided such an opportunity. He did not need to fight directly with Dong Zhuo, but only needed to take advantage of Dong Zhuo's greed and cruelty and incompetentness to increase his prestige.

Dong Min and Dong Mao’s uncle and nephew negotiated with various princes on behalf of the court. Once Dong Zhuo tore up and signed an agreement, whether the two sides will fight again will be confirmed, regardless of whether they are fighting again, that is, Yuan Shao is right to lead troops to reinforce Hanoi County. The counties and states that are always facing Dong Zhuo’s threat will support Yuan Shao, rather than selling the princes of the four counties.

Yuan Shao is neither stupid nor stupid, so he can naturally see the benefits of Feng Ji's words and is more willing to Dong Zhuo tore up the agreement, but this will take great risks, at least put Jizhou in great danger, and will allow 100,000 Black Mountain troops and Dong Zhuo to attack Jizhou together.

Seeing Yuan Shao frowning and silent, Xun Yu knew that he was hesitating, but he still clasped his fists and persuaded him again.

"Dong Zhuo is cruel and unkind. Even if he does not cross the border and invade Jizhou today, he will definitely invade in the future. But if Jizhou is gone today, where will the lord go?"

Yuan Shao was suddenly shocked.

"Only the lord is the only one who helps the king's prefect defending Hanoi. For the lord, the lord fights for the country, which is called loyalty; for the private, the lord will never leave his allies, which is called righteousness."

"Dong Zhuo killed the Grand Tutor Yuan, and his lord was indignant and revengeful, but the lord was able to temporarily give up his hatred for the sake of the people of Jizhou to avoid the war. The people of Jizhou must be grateful for the lord's kindness. If the lord wants to take Jizhou, he will definitely take things out."

Yuan Shao stood up, his heart beating wildly. Yuan Tan also looked at Xun Yu in horror, but Xu You and Feng Ji had no strange expression, as if he had known that Xun Yu would say such words long ago.

"Liu Sheng...Where is Liu Sheng?"

Yuan Shao spoke instinctively, trying to ask Liu Sheng, who was most familiar with Dong Zhuo and uncle and nephew of Dong Hu, but after looking around, he found that Liu Sheng was not by his side. Just when Yuan Shao was unhappy, Yuan Tan kicked the horse and walked closer, took out a letter from his arms, and a little bitterness appeared on his face.

"General Liu had already returned to Qinghe County half a day ago, saying that it was useless to stay with his father..."

Yuan Tan briefly explained Liu Sheng's incident, and Yuan Shao's face showed some displeasure, but he didn't say anything about it.

After Liu Sheng came out of Qinghe County, he felt extremely regretful and wanted to escape, but Yuan Shao just refused to let him leave. Even if he led his troops to Yewang City, Yuan Tan was alone, like a prisoner being detained.

When Kaifeng was defeated, Liu Sheng had the opportunity to escape, but he ran back to Chenliu City in panic that day and regretted it very much. Yuan Shao took care of him more severely. Until Dong Zhuosheng attacked east and west across the Yellow River, and Yuan Shao stepped back and caused chaos, he had a second chance to escape.

Yuan Shao looked through the letter and felt a little annoyed that Liu Sheng escaped, but there was no way at this time...

"Then Liu Sheng is more familiar with Dong Zhe. He will go to Luoyang and Chang'an, but he..."

Yuan Shao sighed softly, and looked at Xu You, Feng Ji, and Xun Yu with a solemn expression.

"All three are great talents in the world, can they recommend them?"

Xu You turned his eyes and looked at Feng Ji and Xun Yu with a smile on his face.

"Why do you two think you can go to Luoyang and Chang'an?"

Feng Ji frowned and said, "It's easy for Luoyang. You can send someone to Chenliu and ask Zhang Yi to make peace on his behalf, or send someone to Wancheng, and let Shi Hou talk about peace."

"The Lintao boy is unwilling to fight again. If he wants to take the opportunity to gain a foothold in Luoyang, he is unwilling to all the princes to raise troops to attack Luoyang again. The difficulty lies in the people who are on a mission to Chang'an."

When Feng Ji spoke "Liu Bian", Yuan Shao felt a little displeased, but he did not speak up on the spot, but just turned to Xu You and Xun Yu.

Xu You smiled and said, "The people who went to Chang'an for Yuantuyan were more troublesome, but Xu thought this was the simplest."

"I hope to hear the details." Feng Ji nodded silently.

Xu You was a little serious and said, "The Grand Tutor was killed by Dong Zhe. The lord cannot bow his head to Dong Zhe easily, but Han Wenjie (Han Fu) and Liu Bo'an (Liu Yu) can do it."
