***** Dear readers, the trifles are over, and it will resume twice a day from today, and I will kneel down and worship you.
In the early morning of the next day, Xu You stood on the top of the city early, looking at the Lin Army camp eagerly.
Yesterday Lin Jun rarely attacked the city, apparently encountered a problem that was not easy to solve.
Xu You believes that if the Lin army withdraws on a large scale today, there must be a powerful enemy invading, and it is nothing more than one or several of the princes such as Gongsun Zan, Cao Cao, and Tao Qian.
If the Lin army does not withdraw or attack the city today, and keeps a wait-and-see attitude, then it is very likely that Cao Cao adopted the suggestion in Xu You's letter and sent his army to attack Pingyuan City. Emperor Han Xian left the city in shock, and his whereabouts are still unknown. Wait for news from the rest of the counties.
Of course, if Lin Jun continues to attack the city after eating and drinking enough, then the situation that Xu You is most worried about has happened. Yuan Shao in Gaoyang probably abandoned the city and fled. At present, only Xu You's Wuyuan City in Hejian County is still resisting Lin. military.
Once the third situation happened, Xu You could only run all the way to Hei, and defend Wuyuan City desperately.
It has to be said that Xu You's ability to add drama is not small. If Lin Feng outside the city knew about his inner activities, he would have to award him a little gold medal!
Actor, this is it.
It's a pity that Lin Feng didn't know.
He was busy saying goodbye to the generals now, Qu Yi led the army to Zhongshan alone, Gao Shun and Dian Wei sent their troops north to Gaoyang.
In fact, Zhang Yun had already led his army to leave Shuzhou at this time, and quickly approached Lin Feng.
Hejian County must be pacified in the shortest possible time, so that it can be freed up to fight Gongsun Zan.
After sending off the generals, Pei Yuanshao reluctantly directed the personal guard camp to pick up the luggage, set up the camp, and prepared to leave Wuyuan City.
Xu You was so excited that he looked up to the sky and screamed, two streams of tears flowed down.
It's not easy, Lin Jun retreated, and Wuyuan City was saved.
Xu You no longer took Yuan Shao seriously at this time. No matter what the reason was, when Wuyuan City was besieged and Xu You did not wait for Yuan Shao's reinforcements, Xu You had already decided to part ways with Yuan Shao.
Right now Xu You is just reluctant to part with the [-] soldiers and horses under his command, otherwise, when Wuyuan City is relieved of the siege, he will definitely rush to Chenliu immediately and starry night.
Now that Yuan Shao has lost the momentum to compete with the heroes, of course Xu You will not hang himself on a tree.
Cao Cao, who was in the hands of Emperor Shao of the Han Dynasty, also had a close relationship with Xu You, and it was really fragrant to go to Chenliu.
Lin Jun made no secret of their haste, and the whole army marched in less than half an hour, leaving countless unnecessary firewood tents outside Wuyuan City.
From the top of the city, Xu You watched the guard battalion whip away until it was completely gone.
A general came over and asked Xu You if he wanted to send someone out of the city to find out the news. Xu You shook his head after pondering for a moment.
"Send an order to mobilize all the troops in the city, and follow the Lin army far away. Without my military order, you must not engage in battle with them."
Although the general was a little dazed, he still followed the order.
So less than half an hour after Lin Feng left, Xu You also led his army along Lin Jun's marching route and fell far away.
Lin Feng and Guo Jia walked side by side.
"Feng Xiao, do you think Xu You and Xu Ziyuan have the guts to follow?"
"My lord, why bother to ask this question? Xu Ziyuan is already divorced from Yuan Shao at this time. When he followed our army to the border of Zhongshan, if he hadn't fought our army, he would have sent his troops south to fight towards Chen Liucheng."
Lin Feng let out a long sigh: "Xu You is too stubborn, and he tends to idealize things. Even though our army is really fighting Gongsun Zan endlessly, does he think that with a mere [-] troops, he can forcefully break through the two counties of Qinghe and Yecheng? ?"
With a smile on his face, Guo Jia pointed to the direction of Xu Youjun behind him and said: "If it weren't for this, how could Xu Ziyuan assassinate the king twice successively. Fortunately, the late emperor was merciful, otherwise the Xu family would not even be able to preserve the ancestral grave."
After marching for half a day, Lin Feng ordered to set up camp on the spot and bury pots for cooking.
Xu You, who was not far away, suddenly thumped in his heart, it was broken, I am afraid it was a trick, otherwise there would be no reason to set up camp after marching for half a day.
"The whole army stops, the front army becomes the rear army, the rear army becomes the front army, and quickly returns to the city."
His thinking was too simple. The soldiers marched for half a day, and they were already exhausted. Xu You asked the people not to dismount or unload the saddle, and turned around to walk back. Suddenly, more than half of the soldiers sat down on the ground, saying what? Also refused to get up.
Xu You was furious and whipped them one by one with a whip.
"You bastard, don't even look at what time it is. If the enemy army attacks at this time, why don't you just wait until you're dead?"
There are nearly [-] soldiers in Wuyuan City, but only one-third of them are Xu You's direct descendants, and the remaining soldiers and horses are all assigned by Yuan Shao to Xu You to guard Wuyuan City.
On weekdays, Xu You beat and scolded frequently, and all the soldiers had to swallow their anger because of the military regulations.
Right now, Wuyuan City had just escaped the siege, and before it had time to breathe a sigh of relief, Xu You drove him out of the city in a hurry to chase and kill Lin Jun.
The soldiers were already full of complaints and dissatisfaction, and Xu You tried to order them to run back to the city without water and food, which finally aroused public anger.
The general who couldn't hold back his anger stepped forward: "Xu Shuai, since we had dinner in the morning, our army has been out of the city and followed Lin Jun on an urgent march. It is almost noon today, and the brothers are thirsty and empty. Let's eat dry food and drink water?"
Xu You whipped his whip over, drawing a purple-red bloodstain on the general's face.
"Shut up your dog mouth, this commander has never touched his teeth, don't this commander know hunger and thirst? Lin Jun's retreat is a way to lure the enemy. If he can't return to the city as soon as possible, he will be ambushed. Then we will It's hard to keep a piece of military terror."
From Xu You's standpoint, what he said was not wrong.
But he underestimated the desire of human nature and overestimated his own prestige.
This shouting and cursing not only failed to win the soldiers' hearts, but because of that whip, it caused everyone to feel the same hatred and hatred.
"Master Guan rides on the horse all day long, how can you know how hard it is for us soldiers to travel, why do you beat people!"
I don't know who asked first, but then the voice became louder, and more and more people agreed.
Xu You was a little panicked, the current situation was a harbinger of mutiny in the barracks, and if it continued, the consequences would be disastrous.
"Soldiers, it's not that someone Xu didn't know the hard work of marching, and he really wanted to change things urgently. He had to force everyone to return quickly, otherwise it would be too late for regret."
Just when Xu You was trying to restore the morale of the army, suddenly behind him there were loud guns, and a group of soldiers and horses lined up like a mountain. First, a big flag was waved in the wind, and a big letter was written.
Zhang He from the Red Flame Battalion has arrived.
In the guard camp on the other side, the cannons were also fired, and Pei Yuanshao was dressed neatly, urging his horse and twisting his guns to come to the front of the two armies.
Xu You turned pale with fright, waved his horsewhip and called repeatedly: "Arrange to meet the enemy, form to meet the enemy."
It's a pity that the army's morale was slackened at this time, and no one was willing to obey his orders.
A large number of soldiers threw down their weapons and knelt on the roadside field with their hands raised high, waiting blankly for Jun Lin to come and receive them.
Seeing that the general situation was not good, Xu You tried his best to gather the soldiers and horses of the Qi lineage, and urged them to attack the Chiyan camp.
Zhang He laughed three times on the horse, and personally led the army into the battle.
At the same time, Pei Yuanshao galloped into the enemy's formation anxiously with a pale face, staring at Xu You closely.
