If Yuan Shao retreats, then Yuan Shu cannot retreat any longer. If Yuan Shu retreats, then the two brothers will be not far away. If the two brothers fight like this and merge directly, they will not lose the rice.

After the first order was conveyed, the second order was followed. Guo Jia's first order was given to Yu Jin, so the second order was naturally given to Xiahou Dun.

"I'm telling General Xiahou Dun that he can launch a counterattack. At least Yuan Shu will fight me back three hundred miles." Guo Jia's second order was issued.

At this time, Guo Jia knew it. As long as Yu Jin was defeated for a few battles and then retreated to Tongguan, Yuan Shao would get seven or eight cities and after his troops arrived at Tongguan, Yu Jin could rely on Tongguan and completely entangle Yuan Shao's army. Once that time comes, it will be time for Gongsun Zan to take action.

Of course, then again, this defeat is not so easy to defeat. Only when you lose, you can make Yuan Shao's army willingly advance forward.

Ju Yi, the general under Yuan Shao, is of the same temperament as Yuan Shao. He looks like the eldest, the second, and the third. He is the same as Ju Yi, although he did not hesitate when he was defeated.

The matter was different from what Guo Jia expected. As soon as Yu Jin started to withdraw, Ju Yi followed him up. Ju Yi followed Yu Jin to Tongguan all the way, looking at the brothers from Tongwei.

Tongguan is a rare barrier in the whole world. In terms of the number of barriers in the world, there is only one Hulao Pass that can be more majestic and steep than Tongguan.

Yu Jin received the order to lose several times and withdraw back to Tongguan. Therefore, since Yu Jin entered Tongguan, he has been defending Tongguan and will no longer go out to Tongguan to fight against Yuan Jun.

Yu Jin hurried in Tongguan and did not come out, which left Ju Yi outside Tongguan with no choice. Tongguan is different from ordinary city walls. If you capture an ordinary city, you can't attack it without three to five times the force.

Tongguan is more majestic than an ordinary city. Such a city, let alone three to five times the strength of its troops. If you don’t have ten times the strength of your troops, you won’t even think of capturing Tongguan if you don’t die tens of thousands of people.

Tongguan is steep and cannot be attacked easily. Ju Yi did not dare to attack Tongguan rashly, but instead accepted the county town near Tongguan, wrote a letter while explaining the situation here, and quickly sent people to Yecheng and handed it over to Yuan Shao.

On Tongguan, Yuan Shao's troops were temporarily stalemate with Yu Jin. As long as both sides stalemate, the effect Guo Jia wanted was actually achieved. Now that Yuan's army is in deep, if Yuan Shao's territory is attacked, it will take half a month for them to return to the aid, and this is the time when Cao Cao does not send people to harass him.

On the other hand, after receiving Guo Jia's military order, Xiahou Dun immediately led his army to launch a fierce attack on Ji Ling's army. Xiahou Dun's attack can be said to have scared Ji Ling. You must know that Ji Ling has been attacking these days, Xiahou Dun's defensive posture. Now Xiahou Dun's attack has really scared people.

This is like during World War II, the Germans arranged mines every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and the British cleared mines every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. On Sunday, both sides were on vacation and resting, and everyone continued to have such tacit behavior. Until one day the British forgot to clear mines, and the next day when the Germans went out to lay mines, they blew up their ships. So the Germans scolded the British army for not being moral, and the British army quickly apologized and admitted their mistakes, told the German soldiers who were responsible for clearing mines were negligent, and promised that they would clear mines on time next time.

This is not a joke, but something that really happened. Originally, Ji Ling and Xiahou Dun were in this situation. Xiahou Dun originally arranged a defensive posture, while Ji Ling originally had an offensive posture. Then Ji Ling attacked as usual every day, and Xiahou Dun defended.

But today, when Ji Ling attacked as usual, Xiahou Dun, who was supposed to defend, actually launched a counterattack against Ji Ling. Xiahou Dun's attack completely caught Ji Ling off guard.

Xiahou Dun is a rare general in the entire Cao camp. After so many days of grievance, he finally received an order to attack. How could this make Xiahou Dun feel unhappy? Xiahou Dun's fierce attack made him feel very comfortable.

Xiahou Dun was like an ant crawling without a tough battle, so as soon as he received Guo Jia's order, he immediately pushed him over and rushed towards Ji Ling.

Ji Ling was stunned by Xiahou Dun's fighting style for a moment. Xiahou Dun looked like a decisive battle and pushed his troops forward five or six hundred miles ahead of time. The territory originally occupied by Yuan's army was also considered to have returned to Cao's army.

"Haha! This Ji Ling is just like this. If the military advisor had not given the order, I would have to capture him alive before he could deal with him." Xiahou Dun laughed in the Cao army camp, stroking his beard.

It’s true that the Cao army beat the Yuan brothers, which is like water defeating fire in the five elements. Cao Cao defeated the Yuan brothers in heaven, and it was precisely because of the fight against Yuan Shao a few years ago. For Xiahou Dun, among the Yuan brothers, the brothers who were defeated repeatedly when they fought against them, let alone Yuan Shu, the younger brothers.

In fact, after fighting Yuan Shu for so many days, Xiahou Dun also discovered that although all Yuan Shu's soldiers were composed of young people who were twenty years old and forty years old, and their weapons and equipment were also very well-trained, and they were well-trained in training.

But one thing is that these soldiers have extremely poor fighting will. I think a few days ago when Xiahou Dun defended, their morale was high when they fought. But after Xiahou Dun attacked them today, Yuan Jun seemed to have no idea how to fight.

Xiahou Dun understood that all Yuan army soldiers had silver spears and wax spear heads, which were not useful. They were wearing the strongest armor and the sharpest weapons, but in fact they had not experienced a death battle. This was even the first time that most Yuan army soldiers went to the battlefield.

Soldiers can only be considered real soldiers after experiencing real life and death battles. Otherwise, even if they train for a long time, they will not be considered a soldier.

The proportion of new recruits who have never been on the battlefield is too large, which is also the main reason for Yuan’s low combat effectiveness. Xiahou Dun even suspected that if it was really time for the decisive battle between the two sides, it was a unknown whether the Yuan army soldiers on the opposite side could last until 30% of the battle losses.

Of course, Yuan’s army’s combat effectiveness is low, which is a great thing for Xiahou Dun.
