The order given by Son of Heaven was to drag Yuan Shao to Yi City, but not long after the order came, Yuan Shao withdrew Hejian Commandery.
Naturally, his dream of sealing County Marquis came to nothing.
Maybe Son of Heaven will also hold him accountable.
Every time he thought of this, Zhang Yan wanted to pick up the knife and chop Yuan Shao into pieces. He really hated this guy.
"Bang!"
Just when Zhang Yan was feeling unhappy, the door was suddenly kicked open, and cold wind and snow blew in, causing the temperature inside the house to drop sharply.
Seeing the person running into the house, Zhang Yan said with a stern face, "You didn't even say hello when you entered the door? Have you forgotten the rules?"
It was Wang Dang who entered the house.
Although he is one of his Left and Right Armss, he will not look down upon him as long as he does not understand the rules.
Rules are the most important thing in the village.
"Boss! Good news! Great news!"
Wang Dang's face was full of excitement, and even his voice was trembling with excitement. "Our brothers stationed at Hejian Commandery sent back the news that Son of Heaven's Army of Your Majesty has breached Hejian Commandery!"
"Right now Yuan Shao is leading Remnant Troops to escape towards You Province. It seems that he is preparing to return to Yi City!"
"Our opportunity has arrived!"
"Is this serious?!"
After listening to Wang Dang's words, Zhang Yan couldn't hide the look of Shock and excitement on his face, but he felt unbelievable at the same time.
How could such a good thing happen to him?
Chapter 252 Capturing Yuan Shao
"Bao Zhen is the boss!"
Wang Dang slapped his chest loudly and said with determination, "Besides, Yuan Shao didn't bring many troops with him when he escaped, and the people sent by Your Majesty are also chasing him."
"If we lead the troops to intercept him at this time, even if we can't catch Yuan Shao with our own hands, we can still block him so that he can't escape!"
"This is a great achievement!"
Yuan Shao was the character Imperial Edict who was tricked by Son of Heaven and named Rebel. Previously, Son of Heaven asked them Black Mountain Army to drag Yuan Shao, and they were given a heavy reward of becoming a lord or general.
What if they arrest Yuan Shao?
What rewards will Son of Heaven give them?
I don't dare to think about it, I simply don't dare to think about it!
Seeing Wang Dang's excited expression, Zhang Yan's heart became hot, and he made a decision immediately. "Notify all brothers to gather! Be sure to catch Yuan Shao before Pursuing Troops comes from Son of Heaven Faction!"
Either don't do it, or if you want to do it, do it for the big ticket!
Zhang Yan is not satisfied with cutting off Yuan Shao's credit. He wants to catch Yuan Shao himself and then ask for credit from Son of Heaven!
When the time comes, he has received the reward and all the brothers in the mountains have a way out. He will hand over the military power and spend the rest of his life as a rich man. It will not be too comfortable!
"Okay!"
Wang Dang was waiting for Zhang Yan to say this. He nodded excitedly and left in a hurry.
Hejian Commandery, Lecheng County.
As Yuan Shao escaped with Yan Liang and other generals, Lecheng County's remaining defenders lost their fighting spirit and quickly surrendered.
The entire Lecheng County completely fell into the control of Liu Xie.
City Wall on.
Liu Xie is on inspection accompanied by Guo Jia.
Although the corpses above have been cleared away, blood stains still remain. In addition, there are traces of swords and cracks caused by Torsion Catapult stones.
Looking at these traces, Liu Xie said with hatred, "Yuan Shao, for his own selfish desires, actually caused such heavy casualties to my son, Han!"
Winning this time is really difficult and dangerous.
If there is no improved Torsion Catapult.
If Yuan Shao is allowed to delay for one more night, heavy snow will fall and the temperature will drop sharply, and the city will be unable to be captured.
All the casualties paid previously will be in vain.
Fortunately, the final outcome is good.
Guo Jia on the side heard this and said, "Your Majesty, although the losses in this battle are not small, the gains are even greater. The entire Ji Province will fall under the control of Your Majesty."
"Furthermore, General Zilong has led Tiger Warriors Army to hunt down Yuan Thief, and Feathered Forest Cavalry has also been dispatched. Yuan Thief will definitely be captured!"
Liu Xie nodded slightly, feeling a little relieved.
Yuan Shao escaped from Lecheng County with only a few thousand soldiers and horses. Soon after leaving the city, he was ambushed and killed by the troops led by Zhao Yun, and one thousand of them were captured. Great General Yan Liang also died in battle.
After he got the news, he immediately asked Gao Lan to lead Feathered Forest Cavalry to support Zhao Yun, and went to hunt them down together.
Although Feathered Forest Guard is not as good as Bing Province Wolf Cavalry from Lü Bu, it is also Elite Troops Cavalry. It is impossible for Yuan Shao to escape Yi City.
For now, he just needs to wait.
At this moment, Yuan Shao is fleeing on the snow.
He left most of the army to Qu Yi to resist Zhao Yun. He only had Lü Xiang, Jiang Qi and a mere two hundred people around him.
After escaping a long way and confirming that Pursuing Troops was not there, Yuan Shao dared to stop and rest for a moment or two.
"Lord, can't stop!"
Seeing this, Lü Xiang couldn't help but urge, "General Qu can't stop Zhao Yun. If we stop here, Enemy Army will definitely catch up again later!"
They don't have many troops now.
If Zhao Yun comes to kill us again, with just a few hundred or two of them, it will be the same as sending someone to death. There are not enough people to fill the gap between our teeth.
Jiang Qi also said, "Yes Lord! Let's run away quickly while the snow is lightening now!"
Both of them were worried that Zhao Yun would come after them.
They don't want to die here.
Yuan Shao was so angry when he heard this, didn't he want to continue running away? But he was exhausted, and all the bones in his body were about to be knocked apart by the horse!
"Run, run, run! You just know how to run!"
"What else can you do except run away!"
When it came to escaping, Lü Xiang and Jiang Qi were simply more active than him. This attitude made him quite angry.
When he beat Lü Bu before, he chose to run away. After all, Lü Bu was famous all over the world. Although running away was a shame, it was excusable, so he just gave them fifty lashes each as a small punishment and a big warning.
But this time when Zhao Yun was chasing after them, these two guys didn't even dare to face each other, which was in stark contrast to Yan Liang who was determined to fight with death.
How can this make him not angry?
Facing Yuan Shao's rebuke, Jiang Qi and Lü Xiang blushed, but they could only bow their heads and accept it, not daring to refute.
"Why don't you hurry up and get on the alert!"
Yuan Shao scolded them hard, and finally calmed down some of the anger in his heart. He snorted and said, "Rest here for half an hour, and we will start again in half an hour!"
"No."
Lü Xiang, Jiang Qi bowed their heads and left.
Looking at the backs of the two of them, Yuan Shao couldn't help cursing in his heart. "What two wastes!"
In his opinion, Lü Xiang and Jiang Qi combined are not worth a hair of Yan Liang, and he would rather trade their lives for Yan Liang's.
But this can only be his fantasy.
Yan Liang is dead, and Qu Yi is probably in danger of resisting Zhao Yun. He once had many powerful generals under his command, but now only these two useless people are left.
Thinking of this, Yuan Shao felt sad in his heart.
He looked at the silver-covered land and the north, murmuring, "Can a person like me still achieve great things?"
The other side.
Lü Xiang and Jiang Qi were leading soldiers and horses to spread out the surrounding area. At this time, their faces were not very good-looking, and they were even slightly gloomy.
People are all about face. Yuan Shao just pointed at their noses and scolded so many Soldiers in front of them. He undoubtedly threw their faces to the ground and stepped on them. How could they not have any resentment in their hearts?
It's just that they don't dare to show off in front of Yuan Shao.
After staying away from Yuan Shao, Lü Xiang finally couldn't bear it anymore and said angrily, "Isn't he the one who said he wanted to run away before? What does it have to do with us?"
"And what can we do if we don't run? Can the two of us defeat Zhao Yun together? What's the difference between that and dying!"
Zhao Yun What is the strength? What is their strength?
It's not on the same level as them at all!
To face the enemy knowingly that he is defeated is either stupid or stupid.
Jiang Qi sneered, "He just wants us to go up and die so that we can help him block Zhao Yun's pursuit. Our lives are not at all considered by him."
Yuan Shao What he said just now completely chilled his heart.
He has always been diligent and conscientious in his work. Whether he is killing the enemy on the battlefield or leading troops in battle, he always does his best.
But since Qing Province fell, Yuan Tan died, and he led the remaining soldiers to escape back, Yuan Shao became angry with him, and his attitude towards him became much colder.
But why should he be blamed? Can he lead the remaining soldiers to defend the entire Qing Province by himself?
Moreover, he went to lead troops to support Anping Commandery, but Anping Commandery was attacked by Lü Bu before they arrived. It was a normal choice for him to retreat when faced with Lü Bu, but Yuan Shao felt that he was too cowardly.
If you have the ability, go and fight Lü Bu!
